Nexus 7 Stand
by DigitalBytes, published
This is a Nexus 7 stand embossed with the Nexus X logo. It supports the tablet in portrait or landscape without blocking the speaker and has excellent stability.
Update: This was designed for the 2012 Nexus 7 not the new 2013 Nexus 7. I don't know how well this works for the new version.

Give a Shout Out
Print and insert your Nexus 7.
Given that it's a stand, it benefits from the added weight of a 100% fill. It's stable both front to back and side to side while maintaining a minimalistic design.
The viewing angle is matched to the Apple iPad dock that I have.
My stand was printed at .2mm on a ToM MK6+ running the awesome Sailfish firmware. Thanks Jetty & Dan.
I designed this thing with TinkerCAD. Thanks to MakeALot for his Nexus7 shell on TinkerCAD that I used to cut out the Nexus7 profile from the stand. Edit it online https://tinkercad.com/things/cKbzYb7BukN

Could the Blazers get a disabled player exception for Greg Oden?
Nov 19, 2010, 5:45 PM EDT
The news Greg Oden's latest microfracture surgery was a crushing blow to both the Blazers franchise and its fans, but there may be the smallest of silver linings on the horizon. Over on BlazersEdge, cap guru "storyteller" outlined how the Blazers may be eligible for a Disabled Player Exception because of Oden, and what they might be able to do with that exception:
If an injury occurs between July 1 and November 30, the physician determines whether or not the player will be unable to play (due to injury or death) during the current season. If so, an exception can be offered…
Now onto the specifics regarding Greg Oden. I assume that the team will apply for a disabled player exception. If granted, the amount of the exception would be $3,380,262 and they would have 45 days to use it. The league in the past has been pretty good about granting such extensions to teams who have disabled players…
A) Portland could use the exception to sign a larger-than-minimum-salary free agent, presumably a big man. Someone like Erick Dampier would be an option. I'm not a big fan of Dampier, but …..
B) Portland could use the exception to make an uneven (money wise) trade. For example, sending Sean Marks and the New Orleans 1st round pick received in the Bayless deal to Philadelphia for Spencer Hawes.
C) Portland could use the exception to facilitate a trade to aid a team that is over the luxury tax threshold. For example, sending a 2nd round pick to Denver for Renaldo Balkman and a 1st round pick (first waiving a player to create a roster spot).
Excellent work from storyteller, and a league source told BlazersEdge's Ben Golliver that the Blazers will in fact seek a disabled player exception for Oden. Dampier, Hawes, and Balkman certainly won't give the Blazers what a healthy Oden would, but at least they might be able to do something to fill the void left by Oden's latest setback.
- Chris Ross - Nov 20, 2010 at 3:45 PM
I think that people are being way too harsh on the Greg Oden pick for the Blazers. I don't feel that the Blazers made the wrong decision despite the constant injuries and unrealized potential of Greg Oden. It is going to be tough for him to come back and he may never be in a Blazers jersey again. You can't help but feel bad for the guy as well as the Blazers, so hopefully he can come back and have at least a somewhat productive NBA career. Also, you think you could check out my blog cuz I really wanna hear what you think. http://chrisross91.wordpress.com/2010/11/19/greg-oden-was-the-right-pick/
- Storyteller - Nov 20, 2010 at 9:35 PM
Thanks for the complimentary words. You're absolutely right that neither Hawes, Balkman nor Dampier would make a huge difference for the Blazers, but the point is that there might be some options for the organization if they are granted a disabled player exception.

Nice adventure
Too bad you could not find someone to ride with. I always find that a ride of two or more makes for a fun filled trip.

On the road, though, I actually prefer a solo ride. That way I can do things and change my mind at the spur of the moment, be impulsive, stop here and there, explore at a whim. Even simple things as stopping to take pictures or to put on additional riding gear are more flexible for a single rider.

Day 4.
September 18: Lake Boisrobert to Radisson - 378 miles.
Woke up to a soggy morning. I hate to break down the camp in rain; at least, I got a chance to set it up in the dry.
Yesterday's perfect hardpack changed to wet snot. The dirt or clay in the roadway became very slippery; the Anakees could not bite in. I was glad that I camped near the end of North Road: I was ready for the pavement. Here it is: where Route du Nord joins James Bay Road at kilometer 275.
I entered James Bay Road pavement and rode north. In a little over an hour I reached the location of almost mythical significance on that highway: Relais Routier 381. This stage stop is the only place that provides fuel along the Road - and it is 381 kilometers from the southern terminus in Matagami.
First task, then, was to fill up the bike. Dutifully, I waited for my Gas Boy (!?), then went to the shop building to bring my tires back to normal pressure - I dropped about 10 psi for the gravel. There is a lot of high speed riding on James Bay Road - I did not want to risk overheating the sidewalls. The shop was closed, but thoughtfully an airline was stuck through the doors.
I do have to say that I never heard the term "Gas Boy" before - this was a source of continuous entertainment for the rest of the trip.
While I was pumping up the wheels, a white Honda sedan pulled up. The driver got out and we talked for a while - even though his English was very broken (and my French none). Apparently, he saw me taking pictures at the North Road junction and tried to chase me since, but I was too fast for him.
Now that the bike was taken care of, I went to the cafeteria. There was only one choice: linguini with meat sauce. A hearty dish! While I ate, my new friend joined me and told me most of his life story - I think. From what I understood, he lived in Chicoutimi (in Quebec's pretty Saguenay region) and was going up to Chisasibi as well.
In the time I spent indoors, the clouds were blown out and a bit of sun peeked out. Beautiful conditions for the remaining section north.
Open road, excellent pavement, blistering speed.
That's a reminder what James Bay Road is about: power plants! Just before the turn-off to Trans-Taiga Road, this sign points out nearby locations. "Centrale" is a generating station.
More of the ever-present power lines. Notice that the one on the right has only two conductors: this is the 450kV (900kV line-to-line) high-voltage DC feed that runs from Radisson to Sandy Point in Massachusetts. This gigantic interconnect carries 2000 MW over almost a thousand miles!
Of course, the AC lines (with 3 conductors, in the center and left of picture) are no slouches, either. Six of those lines carry power from the James Bay project south, at a voltage of 765kV.
(In case you did not notice - these technical factoids do interest me).
At kilometer 544 of James Bay Road, there is a junction with another route of adventure. The gravel Trans-Taiga Road is about 700km long. Along it, there are no settlements, except for some private Hydro Quebec encampments and a few outfitters catering to hunters.
The entrance to Trans-Taiga is quite unassuming, but this sign announcing rest areas show the promise of its remoteness.
A bit further in, this distance marker s quite impressive. Actually, Trans-Taiga continues past Brisay, to Caniapiscau - 666km total.
Wow, I find that exciting! A future destination, maybe?
I finally reached the Chisasibi turn-off. It was early afternoon, the clouds were just gathering - I decided to ride to the waters of James Bay, about 100km away, before returning to Radisson to overnight.
Just as I was turning, the warning indicator lit up: low fuel! What? I used up all the gas from Relais 381? How could that be?
Apparently, running at Autobahn-like speeds... ahem... carries a penalty. My fuel economy dropped to mid-30's mpg. Normally, US-style riding pace results in about 40 mpg for the GS, when fully loaded with travel and camping gear. Interestingly, traveling on gravel of North Road (and of Trans-Lab in the past) yielded about 50mpg: running with light throttle at a very steady speed does wonders for fuel consumption.
No problem. That's what the fuel cans are for, right?
A little side trip took me to the first of the power plants here: La Grande 1. Rather than looking at the plant, I was searching for a whiteboard where visitors to LG-1 do sign in. Donnymoto threw a challenge to fellow ADVriders to sign up near his name.
Too bad - even though I came prepared with a permanent marker, I could not find the board. I visited all four "belvederes" (over-look points) around LG-1, to no avail. As Throttlemeister posted above, apparently the board was in a parking area off the main road and I must have missed it. Oh well, it looks like I have to go there again...
Past Chisasibi, the paved road ends. The last stretch going west crosses a fairly flat terrain.
And here we are! Done it! Did it! This is it: the shore of James Bay. Arctic Ocean!
A great feeling of accomplishment! My high spirits did not even suffer when the gale-force wind blew my helmet off the bike while this picture was being taken. The retractable sunshield was shattered - oh, well...
When you look at Chisasibi on Google Maps' satellite view, while zooming in very closely, you can see some oblong white-silvery shapes on the shoreline.
These are the "freighter canoes", used by the Cree. Here they are, in real life.
To complete the celebration, walking into the frigid waters was required. Had to do it!
This is actually a location of historical significance. About 2 miles north of where I was standing, on the Island of Fort George, was a trading post of the Hudson's Bay Company. The company was formed in late 1600's by an enterprising Frenchman - a certain Pierre-Esprit Radisson - who could not interest the French government and thus obtained a British royal charter for "The Governor and Company of Adventurers of England trading into Hudson's Bay".
Don't you just love this name? Adventurers? An early ADVrider? ADVsailor?
Needless to say, the town of Radisson was named in his honor.
And, in case you are wondering: yes, the Radisson hotel chain is also named after good old Pierre.
Hmmmm. What the heck is that? Apparently, rubber over-boots work great as long as there is no big hole that lets in water. That would explain why my left boot was completely filled with water when riding during heavy rain earlier that day. Duh...
I figured out the system, though: I punched holes in the rubber soles of the booties. That way, any water that got in could drain out, albeit slowly - rather than creating a deep puddle inside.
Last commemorative picture of the freighter bike with the freighter canoes. Time to head out - bad weather was coming in.
On the way back, a brief stop in the town of Chisasibi.
As someone wrote here, the Cree must be very much into Christmas: their alphabet surely contains a lot of candy canes.
I took a quick ride through the neighborhood, intrigued by the teepees in backyards of many of the houses. Even the arena / assembly hall was shaped like a teepee.
A quick stop for some Pimiiukimikw. I think.
Can't complain, though: this was the only high-test fuel in James Bay region.
Now it was getting dark and I raced back to Radisson. I did not feel that hot: the linguini with meat sauce from Relais 381 was beginning to give me a god-awful indigestion. I was badly distracted; I could not wait to be able to have some Alka-Seltzer.
When I finally reached my destination for the night, I was cold, tired and very unhappy. The receptionist at Auberge Radisson was very nice and let me park on the sidewalk. But: she was just finishing dinner at her desk - and it was linguini with meat sauce! That was almost too much!
First task upon getting into the room was to spread out all the wet camping and riding gear. What a mess.
Now, time for a well deserved hot bath - and a double Alka-Seltzer. As a final source of smiles for the evening, I read a warning note in the bathroom, asking to run the exhaust fan while taking shower. The English was pretty good, not machine-translated, but someone must have been using a dictionary too much: wrong word for "sensitive" was used. 'Our fire alarm system is very fragile'. Huh? I hope not.

Day 5.
September 19: Radisson to Matagami - 393 miles.
And another wet morning. Walked out of the Auberge to check out the surroundings. Radisson is as much of a company town as you can get: Hydro-Quebec runs the show.
The flags are of the company, of Municipality of James Bay and of the province. Even the bus belongs to the company.
Parking lot is full of employees' vehicles. These building house their technical offices and staff. I was told that it is a tough and lonely outpost, but the good money cures a lot of ills.
As I was readying the bike, a familiar face showed up: my friend from Relais 381 resurfaced. We continued our conversation without really knowing each other languages. I understood that he did work on the construction of one of the La Grande power plants and often crosses Canada in search of work and excitement. He said: a bohemian lifestyle... Interesting guy.
Being in Radisson, I hoped to see the largest plant here: La Grande 2, now named after Robert Bourassa. It's a monster, one of the largest stations in the world.
Unfortunately, there is no more direct access for individuals. According to what I read on the Web (so it must be true!), some journalist pulled a stunt during a facility tour claiming he could get to sensitive areas. In the post-9/11 hysteria, Hydro-Quebec did not want to take any chances and limited visitor access only to group tours pre-arranged in advance.
I decided to take a chance and drove up to the guardhouse, asking how does one get in. The guard was very polite, but turned me away nevertheless. Too bad - this is all I've seen of the facility.
Time to go home. Before departure a last commemorative picture: proof of having reached the Municipality of James Bay.
A good riding day ahead, going south on James bay Road. Temperatures steady in low 40's, light rain. Do you like my high-tech waterproofing of the satellite radio receiver?
The enlightment of this trip: silk gloves in the rain!
I have been always using silk liners in low temperatures and found them to be very effective. However, just a few weeks ago, 'xmagnarider' on BMWLT forum pointed out another great idea: using the liners in the rain. As you all know, there is no such thing as waterproof gloves - sooner or later they'll soak through. Then, they become almost impossible to put on wet hands: the interior liner sticks to the skin.
This is where the silk gloves come in: even when wet, they will allow the riding gloves to slide on smoothly. Amazing discovery! I was a happy camper! It helped me with taking pictures in inclement weather, too: I no longer dreaded taking off the gloves to operate my camera in the rain. It's the little things in life...
Just like on North Road, users of JBR are asked to check in by radio - here with Hydro-Quebec. The triangular marker shows channel number; channel numbers were changing as I continued south.
Power lines everywhere. This forest of pylons is part of Poste (substation) Radisson.
Local airport is not too busy. I tried to walk in, but found everything locked tight.
Of course, a Hydro-Quebec company plane on the runway.
Once can always fly with the locals: Air Inuit.
Following down James Bay Road, I crossed Eastmain River. It looked pretty nice, so I stopped on the bridge to take this shot.
Only later in the day I remembered that this was a very significant bridge, reportedly winning architectural awards. It's not visible from the roadway, however; I have been planning to hike down to the river - but I've forgotten!
Again, I arrived at Relais 381 - the otherwise dismal place that offers only fuel on James Bay Road. I topped off the bike and went to get a bite in the cafeteria. After prior day's excitement, I just had a salad.
Like the day before: while I have been in the cafeteria, weather cleared and the sun came out. A great ride became better yet.
I reached Rupert River. Just as at the North Road crossing of the river, the falls were very impressive, but one could see signs how much bigger they were before the diversion.
I am rewarded with a pretty rainbow over the southern bank of the river.
And another one. Notice the old scars from forest fires.
And more dead trees. When the fires are burning, it must be very exciting there.
And more rainbows. The interesting aspect of long distance travel is the variable weather - often changing from rain to sun and back within a few hours.
Rainbows appear when the sun is approximately behind the observer while water droplets are suspended in the air ahead - and are particularly visible against dark background, such as that of dense storm clouds. On this trip, I saw a whole wonderful collection.
Another pretty phenomenon is the sight of rain spilling out of the clouds. With good lighting angle, it can be spectacular. Here, the rain is falling out of the backlit cloud directly ahead.
For an afternoon break, I pulled into one of the many rest stops, this one at a picturesque lake. Ibis was the last refill from gas cans - and the reason I brought them with me in the first place. According to my calculations, the two cans should have given me plenty of reserve for the 381km section without services.
Chastised by the high consumption on the way up, I have been running in "fuel economy mode", maintained a steady and smooth 65-75mph pace.
Did I write that the weather was variable? In the fifteen minutes of working with the fuel, the conditions changed from these:
To these:
Yet another rainbow. This one adds an extra treat: the second-order rainbow is clearly visible to the right.
Primary rainbow is the result of a single internal reflection of light in water droplets. The second-order rainbow is the result of a double internal reflection, therefore the incidence angle is wider and the colors are reversed.
More burned-out forests along the road.
The pavement is generally in very good condition. The occasional bumps or frost heaves are marked with a warning diamond sign.
The real mark of a bump is quite interesting: almost always, there is a line of black "smudges" across the road, as it can be seen a short distance past the diamond.
This is how it looks close up. What happens is that the big trucks, when running unloaded, will raise the third or fourth unused axle from the rear trailer carriage. The tires are suspended only a few inches away from the pavement. When coming across such bumps, they will often come into contact with pavement, leaving these black tire marks.
Here, the emergency phones are located ever few tens of kilometers and marked with this red sign.
The provincial telephone company, Telebec, operates microwave relaying towers and the emergency phones are patched into the traffic. The actual emergency phone is in the glass booth right next to the generator building.
Notice the height of this tremendous antenna mast!
And this is it! All good things come to an end - so does James Bay Road in the last rays of the setting sun.
Ahead lie Kilometer 0 and the town of Matagami.
Just before the very end, at kilometer 6, is the check-in post. Travelers going north are supposed to register with the guard. I came onto James Bay Road from the side, via the North Road, so the guard took my information now. Seeing me on the bike, he was all excited: twice called me back inside, offering local tourist brochures and marking up maps with pen, to show locations of fuel and of hotels in Matagami.
Kilometer 0. And the nighttime-riding theme continues.
I have been a good boy and rode from Relais 381 in a fairly economical and sensible mode, making sure that the fuel in the tank and in the two gas cans lasts me safely to Matagami.
About an hour before the end of JBR the remaining fuel looked good, so for that last stretch I reverted to some really high speeds. After all, I do not get such opportunities too often.
The level indicator was going down fast. Amazingly, exactly at the kilometer 0 sign, my fuel warning light came on. Thirty-something miles left - perfect timing! Just plenty enough to get to Hotel Matagami for the night.

Nice RR. I road the JBH in late August of this year and was fortunate to have only one day of rain on the ride back south to Matagami. Brings back great memories to relive the adventure.

Ah, memories
I did the exact route last year, but clockwise... We even stayed at the same place in Chibougamau.
For La Grande 2, you can take a guided tour, which we did - 16 generators in line are a sight!
We camped on your first Roupert river crossing, on the North road. Just before the bridge, there is a turn to the left, and we had a rustic site, with wood, and all that was super memorable. Shooting stars, and some small Northern Lights.
Another fun thing we did was to take the small ferry over to Fort George. Some Cree still live there in the summer for some of their festivals, only to go back to their houses when winter comes.
Very nice area which I am planning to visit again next year, there is something about the trans-taiga that I can not take my mind away from...
Nice report!

Day 6 and a half.
Last installment.
September 20: Matagami to Northern NJ - 873 miles.
Morning in Matagami. The bike is relieved of at least some weight: the gas cans are not needed any more. Next fuel is 180km south, in Amos - and from then on, in normal, civilized intervals.
As I was unloading at Hotel Matagami (visible behind the pumps) the night before, I left the cans in front of an empty parking space. I went upstairs to write a note that the cans are "Free To Take" - but they were gone by the time I came back down. That was fast. Needless to say, I felt better when the receptionist let me roll the bike almost up to the office window, for more security.
Along the road from Matagami to Amos, the change of scenery was quite perceptible. The stark, lonely, forested landscape was slowly giving way to rolling hills and an occasional farm.
Along some southern sections of James Bay Road - and even more now, below Matagami - I observed a curious scene: it looked as if the land with fallen or harvested trees was plowed under. As if I was a Lilliputian in Gulliver's land and a humongous plow of the giants went through, breaking and plowing tree trunks like some grass stalks. Weird.
I pulled over to take the above picture and almost dropped the bike right there. By then, I was used to the well-graded and firm shoulders of JBR and did not realize that this was a soft gravel trap. Luckily, I almost finished my braking while still on tarmac - the instant I rolled off pavement, the front wheel dug in. My boots sunk as well, as I fought to regain balance. Wow, that was close.
I am guessing that such shoulder, in the same area, got the better of RockyNH earlier this season and caused his crash.
It certainly did surprise me.
Rolling into Amos. A feeling of re-entering civilization. Complete with an incongruously oversized basilica in the middle of town.
The main street featured a few cafés - finally, the first decent cappuccino of the trip!
I was definitely returning to civilization. About an hour south of Amos, I drove into a very busy town of Val-d'Or (Golden Valley). It is a big industrial center, with several mines operating in direct vicinity.
I parked in the main street to have a look around. While I was getting ready, a car pulled into the spot behind me. The woman driving it was extra cautious maneuvering around my bike, so I smiled at her in appreciation. Once she got out, the usual conversation ensued: where from, where to.
It must have taken a while for my story to sink in, while she stood in line at Tim Horton's across the street. Returning, coffee in hand, she walked up again and said in her broken English that she must have misunderstood what I told her. Where from? Chisasibi? We talked a bit more.
As she was driving away, she rolled down her window and exclaimed: "I would like to go with you!" Then, pointed at the camping gear strapped to the bike's passenger seat: "But there is no room!"
Wow. Wow! One of these once-in-a-lifetime chances, when an unknown, attractive female spontaneously volunteers to get onto the pillion seat and join you on an adventure! And it could not be done... I smiled back, nodded and replied: "Next time!"
In a great mood from this cute encounter in Val-d'Or, I continued south on Autoroute Transcanadienne.
It is my experience that Quebecois are very European in that respect: they do love motorcycles. Surprisingly many of them do ride and even the general public is very friendly. Apparently, there are not too many loud-pipe pirates around to piss them off.
After about three hours of riding through picturesque forests and water reservoirs, I came to a decision point. Should I continue southeast and return home via Montreal - where I visit quite often, most recently only a few weeks ago? Or, should I turn right, southwest, and go through Ottawa, which I did not visit in last two years?
Ottawa won - it's only a slightly longer route. Besides, what the heck is Montcerf anyway? I could not find it on my map.
Well, Montcerf was a tiny settlement on a great side road. Enjoyable ride. It was interesting to be entering the Anglophone area of Quebec. Signs were bilingual and, suddenly, I noticed a Canadian flag in front of a house. Only then I realized that in the past few days I have seen plenty of flags along the road - but these were always provincial white-on-blue fleurs-de-lis, not the federal maple leaf. Not even on the Hydro-Quebec office building in Radisson.
Route 105 into Ottawa was still picturesque, but now getting busy. I rode into Canada's capital by sundown.
As usual, Byward Market area offered a choice of places to eat (and drink... not this time, though). After a pleasant seafood dinner, I walked into Timothy's, just behind my parking spot, and over a big bowl of café-au-lait contemplated my choices.
There was no point in staying in Ottawa for the night anymore - I decided to press on, at least to Watertown, NY.
When I arrived there about midnight, I still felt good on the bike and the soulless collection of chain hotels and shopping strips did not make a great impression. Well, how about Syracuse, then?
Nearing Syracuse, I was effectively committed to continuing home overnight. I elected to ride on the NY State Thruway via Albany - instead of the 50-mile shorter route through Scranton - to have the rest stops with coffee and fuel available at all hours.
"Press on" was indeed the theme of this trip. Bike ran well and I did not feel uncomfortable. However, I started getting sleepy and wound up stopping at every second Thruway rest stop to stretch out and to doze off momentarily.
I reached my house in the morning and went straight to sleep. In the afternoon, as I unpacked the bike, I proudly read the trip meter: 873 miles, directly from Matagami in a day.
Of course, it was total insanity - but, just like the whole James Bay trip, gave me a great feeling of accomplishment.
A great ride!

I just my pass (premier...WDW trip in Feb!) after taking the summer off and took my almost 3 year old "niece" for a trip before she starts needing a ticket and was surprised at all the special things we were able to do! We started with the train, after just missing the cut off to see Minnie and Daisy and since she loves trains I asked if we could do a tender but they were training and taking on water, so they offered us to hop on and they could ask the regular engineers on our next loop, and they said yes!
We then went on Peter Pan and headed over to FL theater for the Tangled show and met Rapunzel and Flynn which she was so excited about and kept saying "I love Rapunzel" throughout the day. It was so cute! We stopped by the Royal Hall next and after a tough wait (and getting into her usual nap time) we made in inside and all of the princesses were so great with her, getting down to her level and chatting with her for a couple of minutes. It was so fun to watch her interact with them!
We stopped for a quick lunch at Rancho del Zocalo (the outdoor CM there were so nice and helpful, grabbing my tray for me -i have an arm cast- and later getting a to go plate) and hopped over to the Mark Twain just as it was pulling up and no one had yet asked for the Wheelwell so we were able to ride "all the way at the top" and she drove the boat "all by herself". It was so precious!
Now wellafter her nap time and getting tired in the heat we took the fire engine back down Main Street and she got a jr firefighter sticker which she proudly put on her shirt right away. She'd been asking to see Daisy, but while she wasn't out we did get Minnie which made her happy. I decided to head over to DCA to see if we could find Daisy and she saw the trolly which we *had* to ride but we just missed it so we chased it down BVS to hop on at the next stop, only to get turned around for the newsies show. she didn't care so we rode it back to the enterance then walked back up and rushed to get in Chip and Dales line and barely made it! She was so excited and the CM there came up with a sweet treat for a sweet girl from C&D and gave it to her...it was a Mickey shaped white chocolate dipped rice crispy treat, which they were making in the windows behind the line. I've never heard of this being done...is it a regular thing? Anyway, goofy replaced C&D after the group behind us so we hopped back in line, got to meet him, and then headed over to see if anyone was out in Hollywood but we were inbetween times and she was ready for her nap!
It was such a fun trip, with so many magical moments! I love seeing Disneyland through the eyes of children...it brings such a different perspective to me, as I usually do solo trips with lots of rides!


text: [Game] Rotary; An anti Cut the Rope mixed with Brick Breaker puzzle strategy Game Stormy Beach 8 August, 2012 3 Comments We all love games. Be it a fancy space shooter, am intense first person shooter to a puzzle strategy game. No matter your favorite style or type of game, we love games. Some of the more popular games that seem to cross bridges from one die-hard style fan to the next are puzzle games that are done right. Those games that take a moment of your time to think about before you beat a level. The ones that take something as simple as collecting 3 stars and makes its hard to accomplish. Cut the Rope and the Amazing Alex are good examples of this style of game play. Now a new one has landed in the Play Store that, after watching the video, prompted us to install it and alert you guys. It is called Rotary and was developed by Andri LW. He has another game in the Play Store called Alien Plants, which also looks pretty great. We are here for Rotary though. It is sort of a mix between Cut the Rope and Brick Breaker, at least those are the games that come to my mind when playing. Using your finger you slide and pull more or less rope to and from the ball that is spinning at the end of it. The more you let out the bigger the circle and the more you pull in the smaller. Sounds simple, and it is, at first. Your goal is to get all the stars before you break all the blocks. It wouldn't be a puzzle game without obstacles such as bombs that will destroy your ball, or switches that change the blocks colors. While I have only made it in a few levels, it would also appear that further in the game you have to break blocks in order of color. That should add a tricky twist to the game. Rotary has 50 unique levels in 2 level packs and the dev promises new levels will be added soon. Beyond just getting your hands on the three stars in each level you have 60 unlockable achievements to pick up on the way. Your overall score isn't just based on if you get all three stars either, there is a time element to the game too, but you don't have a timer or anything to work off of. We didn't see any ads in the app, other than a pop up at the top of the screen for his other game, Alien Plants. It really is a pretty addictive game that can keep you occupied for hours, or for a short bus ride. No matter what style of gamer you are, you should check this one out. It is easily worth the time to install since the dev made the game free. Application: Rotary Developer: ANDRI LW Cost: FREE Original found in our forums

Great city if you're not a typical tourist - this city is lived in by it's people. The best way to enjoy Copenhagen is to act like you're from there, enjoy the city slowly - no rushing to museums or mermaid sculptures, do em slow, and get there on a bicycle if you're able!

How to make Dual Sport Tracklogs using Satellite for FREE
I am not sure that many of you all know how to easily make your own GPS Tracklogs using both maps and Satellites. There are some really easy ways you can do it using Google Maps and some online conversion tools. I thought I would make a video to show everyone how easy it can be.
How to make Tracklogs using Google Maps

So what are you waiting for, make your own great rides
Enjoy gpsKevin
Excellent, I was just looking for a way to do this a couple weeks ago! :thumb
This works pretty good. Thanks for posting.
One question though. In Google Maps when drawing out your track, how do your delete the last point you made?? If I hit escape it deletes the entire track I have created up to that point.
When I am mapping out a possible track, sometimes I choose a path and want to back up a bit and choose a different way.
Great, thanks for the how-to!
Click the Help button (white question mark in a blue circle) at the bottom.
Click Return to classic Google Maps.
Should get ya there. :thumb
I did not realize I could return to the Classic Maps view. I hope that stays around for awhile, the New and Improved Google map product has a lot of features missing.
Thanks again.
Hmmmm... guess i'm not as savvy as I thought I was. Reverted back to 'Classic Maps' and then clicked on 'create map'. But while there is a line tool present, I don't see a tool to enable the line to follow a road.
Disregard. Savvysmurph back on his game.
Once in Classic Maps, you will need to click 'My Places' on the left side.
Then click 'Create from Classic Maps' in order to get the tools for drawing lines. If you only select 'Create Map', they won't appear. Leave it to Google to make it frustrating. Yes... i'm a Mac guy :-). And on a Vstrom. Simple is good. ha!
Great stuff, folks!:thumb

Neo-Nazi Threatmaker Accused of Working for FBI
New Jersey radio host Hal Turner is well known as one of the most vicious neo-Nazis in America, a man who routinely suggests killing his enemies.
Railing against President Bush, he told his audience last June that "a well-placed bullet can solve a lot of problems." He has written that "we need to start SHOOTING AND KILLING Mexicans as they cross the border" and argued that killing certain federal judges "may be illegal, but it wouldn't be wrong." In 2006, after he published an attack on New Jersey Supreme Court justices that also included several of their home addresses, state police massively beefed up security for the members of the court, checking on one justice's house more than 200 times.
Hal Turner is one serious extremist. He may also be on the FBI payroll. ( continue to full post… )

Minutemen Founder's Wife Admits Fabricating Rape Story
The wife of an Ozarks Minutemen founder has been charged with filing a false report after investigators determined her story about being raped and shot by three Hispanic men was untrue.
Controversial Official Leaves FAIR
In late December, the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) reportedly let go Joseph Turner, its western region representative, who had been hired just 13 months earlier, in November 2006. Calls to Turner and FAIR officials seeking an explanation for Turner's unannounced departure were not returned, but a Hatewatch call to the FAIR switchboard asking for Turner met with this hard-to-misunderstand response: "He's no longer with the company." This comes in the wake of an Intelligence Report story that detailed FAIR's ties to white supremacy and designated FAIR a hate group, a move that garnered some national publicity. The Intelligence Report story pointed out that Turner was the founder and long-time leader of a group the Southern Poverty Law Center lists as a hate group —Save Our State, which developed a reputation for allowing neo-Nazis to participate in its rallies.
Although Turner has denied being a racist, he has defended white separatism. "I can make the argument that just because one believes in white separatism that that does not make them a racist," Turner wrote in Save Our State's Web forum in 2005. "I can make the argument that someone who proclaims to be a white nationalist isn't necessarily a white supremacist. I don't think that standing up for your 'kind' or 'your race' makes you a bad person."
Some in the most radical sectors of the anti-immigrant movement have claimed publicly that FAIR fired Turner. A person identifying himself as "Al Lewis" of the Americans for Mass Deportation Yahoo group wrote: "Joe Turner has been fired from FAIR by [President] Dan Stein, apparently because of that pro-illegal outfit the southern poverty law center [sic] called [sic] FAIR a 'hate group' or some nonsense about Joe being a racist."

No Exit: 'Exodus' Group Founder Still in California
Four years ago, a 27-year-old Valley Springs, Calif., resident named Cory Burnell announced a project to eventually move tens of thousands of families to South Carolina in a bid to transform the super-conservative state into a kind of theocracy. It wasn't long before questions came up about Burnell's Christian Exodus group — Burnell had been a leader in the white supremacist League of the South, and was in fact pushing for the possible secession of South Carolina; he claimed that the 14th Amendment to the Constitution, the post-Civil War guarantee of the right to vote and equal protection for all Americans, had never been legally ratified and was not the law of the land; and he wanted to end public education, forbid the teaching of evolution, and enforce "Christian" morality through the power of government — but Burnell gamely continued to insist that he was carrying through on his admittedly ambitious project.
In ensuing years, Burnell told reporters that he and some 2,500 "Christians" would move to the state by 2006, and claimed that a half a dozen families had already done so. Later, he said that 15 families had moved, and that he would soon be joining them. After that, he said that the movement would concentrate on Anderson County, probably the most conservative county in the state, and that a dozen more families were heading that way. By early last year, he was saying he was planning an FM radio station that would start up any day. In June, he claimed another 15 Exodus families would arrive in the state by 2008 and repeated that he and his family were coming to South Carolina, only to concede days later that the job he'd found there had fallen through. Then, in July, he said that while he still wanted to move to the state, it was now up to God.
Apparently, the deity has spoken. According to the Anderson (S.C.) Independent-Mail News, which has done most of the serious reporting on Christian Exodus, the group is now focusing on a totally different state — Idaho — because, it said, several of its families now "realize … they will not be moving to South Carolina." Heading the effort in that northwestern state will be Paul Smith, who ran for Congress in 2006 on the ticket of the far-right Constitution Party of Idaho. Smith, the Independent-Mail reported, said during his campaign that the 9/11 attacks were the result of God's judgment against America.
As to Cory Burnell, he and his family remain in California, where they've been throughout. No word yet from those Burnell followers who took their leader's advice and moved to South Carolina. If the past is any guide, they may be waiting on their young leader for a good long time.

Originally written on Section 303 | Last updated 4/18/12
Per his junior team's website, Nashville Predators 2011 fourth round pick Josh Shalla has inked a three-year entry level deal with the Nashville Predators. Shalla was left undrafted in 2009. Then again in 2010. General Manager David Poile and the Predators weren't about to let that happen again in 2011. Shalla, 21, was taken 94th overall in the National Hockey League Entry Draft, fresh off of a 72 point season (47 goals, 25 assists) with the OHL's Saginaw Spirit. He followed that up with 76 points in 15 less games this season. His 213 career points make him the third highest scorer in Saginaw franchise history and the second highest scorer among players that only played three seasons for the Spirit. Additionally, his 119 career goals put him atop the franchise's all-time list in that category. If the Predators went into the 2011 Draft looking for goal scoring, they found it in Shalla. The Whitby, Ontario native tipped off the Twitter world on Sunday night with the following tweet. ...

Red Faction Armageddon
Re: Red Faction Armageddon
You're the grandson of Red Faction: Guerrilla protagonist Alex Mason, a catastrophe has befallen Mars, humanity is pushed deep underground, but below the surface aliens also lurk:
Half a century after the Red Faction resistance and their Marauder allies freed Mars from the brutal Earth Defense Force, harmony on Mars is again threatened but this time by a lethal force shrouded in mystery.
When the massive Terraformer that supplies Mars with its Earth-like air and weather is destroyed, the atmosphere turns to chaos, super-tornados and lightning storms engulf the planet. To survive, the Colonists flee to the underground mines and build a network of habitable caves.
Five years later, Darius Mason, grandson of Martian Revolution heroes Alec Mason and Samanya, runs a lucrative business from Bastion, underground hub of Colonist activity. Mining, scavenging, mercenary work--if the job is dangerous, Darius is your man. Few sane people now venture to the ravaged surface, aside from contractors like Darius and the smugglers who run goods between the settlements.
When Darius is tricked into reopening a mysterious shaft in an old Marauder temple, he releases a long-dormant evil and unleashes Armageddon on Mars. As Colonist and Marauder settlements are torn asunder, only Darius and the Red Faction can save mankind. The battle will take them across the storm-blasted planet... and below it, to the very heart of the unspeakable threat.
•Hell on Mars - Darius Mason can only watch as the surface of Mars is destroyed. Seeking solace underground, an even greater threat emerges against humanity.
•Nano Forge - Unleash the devastating force of the Nano Forge with concussive blasts, core-shattering tremblers, and bone-crushing rhino charges.
•Extermination Mode - Four players can team up online to battle back the relentless tide of attackers as the mysteries of the ancient threat continue to unfold.
•Full Destruction - Tear down separatist outposts, rip apart alien monoliths, and reconstruct colonist defenses with Geo Mod 2.0, the most advanced real-time destruction engine to date.
•Fight for Survival - Free colonists from alien cocoons, reclaim cultist fortifications on the surface, and hunt for artifacts deep within alien hives to create unthinkable advanced weaponry.
Re: Red Faction Armageddon
I don't know if I like aliens being in the series out of nowhere, but I guess it could be cool. The underground settings could make for some creepy gameplay, and it seems like a return to the original's gameplay maybe.
Looking forward to hearing more... trailer does confirm a PC release.
Re: Red Faction Armageddon
the first game wasn't bad i liked how everything was destructible but you rem that one gun that disintigrated everything i cat rem the name of it but i forgot i had it on the last mission and had to keep re doing it until i finally beat it
anyways cant wait for this
Re: Red Faction Armageddon
Re: Red Faction Armageddon
well the last one RF guerilla
Re: Red Faction Armageddon
So how was the guerrilla? I never got into it becouse of performance wise... But it might be fun on xplumberbox
Re: Red Faction Armageddon
Re: Red Faction Armageddon
Well I've never used OnLive before and after that displayed of horrid stuttering, low fps and blocky graphics... I never will. And this is certainly not the future of gaming, it was awful. I've got 15mb/2mb connection too.
I can't believe some people would pay for something like this instead of just investing a few hundred in a decent gaming PC.
Re: Red Faction Armageddon
I tried the 360 demo out and the game seemed really fun. Didn´t play far because i really dislike playing with a pad but i suspect it will rock pretty hard with a more suited controller device.
Re: Red Faction Armageddon
Played it on the Xbox, then on this onlive. Well, I'd still rather play onlive then Xbox as far as controls, but that's where it ends.
Suprising worked better than I thought. Controls were smooth and no studdering at all. However the graphics....yeeeesh. No so good. Not horrible, but for somebody with a half a decent rig, no thx.
I see a market thought for people who might have smaller screens and are playin something like the Ipad. that's it.
Game is fun, now I want a real demo on the PC.

Full text not available from this repository.
Ammonia is thought to be central in the pathogenesis of hepatic encephalopathy and has been of importance to generations dating back to the early Egyptians. Hippocrates 2500 years ago described 'encephalopathy' simply translated as 'inside head suffering.' Over 1500 papers have been written on hepatic encephalopathy since 1966, but only a minority of these actually refer to the original observation of hepatic encephalopathy and the link with ammonia made by Marcel Nencki and Ivan Pavlov in 1893 with very little acknowledgement being made to the early landmark studies which described the importance of the muscle and kidneys in maintaining ammonia homeostasis as well as the liver and gut. Furthermore, infection was recognized as being an important modulator of brain function by the ancient Greek physicians and philosophers. This review focuses upon the original experiments of Nencki and Pavlov and describes how they fit into what we understand about the pathophysiology and treatment of hepatic encephalopathy today.

Check out this video comparing the boot times of the iPad 1 vs. iPad 2 vs. iPad 3 on iOS 5.1.
Please note the video is synced on the down click of the power button. The logos are supposed to appear at different times.
Surprisingly, the boot time has got slightly slower over each generation; however, Apple has added new hardware features with each new model. While we had the iPad 2 beating out the iPad 3 by about 3 seconds, CNET's tests have the iPad 2 beating the iPad 3 by a whopping 13 seconds.

A spokeswoman for Chevron Mining told the Taos News that 32 laid-off Questa mine employees have accepted positions with a new special projects unit.
Last month, Chevron Mining announced they were shutting down the mine in Questa after nearly 100 years in operation. Around 300 employees lost their jobs.
Officials say many workers are still not sure what they're going to do, but there is some help on the way.
A job fair is planned for next week in Questa.
