Pity I couldn't make it.Btw,when is the next meeting?Will the next meeting also be around OpenCL?Would be nice to have OpenGL as well.
Probably on May. Still working on details. BTW, this meeting was not around OpenCL - Tomer from Broadcom presented OpenVX, and Boaz from Intel presented OpenCL. I'm aspiring to have this chapter cover a wide range of Khronos standards as possible (as I would find people to talk about ;-) ). So yes, OpenGL is definitely on the table for one of the next meetings.
Maybe I can help to get a speaker on OpenGL. I know a guy who works at Graphics team in Intel.He also runs a series of modern OpenGL tutorials online.

Hey Canadians! Get yourself a $199 250GB Xbox 360
Just saw this over at
and it seems like a pretty amazing deal if you're looking at picking up a new 360 Slim. For the next 2 days Best Buy and Future Shop are selling 250GB 360s for the $199. This might be a sign of a new price point being announced at e3 but I think if that happens it'll only go down $50 to $249.

The Backlog Project: Lara Croft and the Guardian of the Light = Completed
It's been a pretty good week of attempting to overcome my backlog with a ton of progress in Fallout: New Vegas, Torchlight, Dragon Age: Origins - Ultimate Edition, and the absolute destruction of Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light. That means that 1 game has been overcome of my current 5 and only 4 remain until I check out something new.
I started the week hell bent on finishing Torchlight but a few days ago decided to check out Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light. I was addicted right from the start. If you haven't checked out LCatGoL (????), it's basically a twin-stick shooter with some great platforming and a bunch of Mayan gods running around. It's pretty far from the norm of a Tomb Raider game and I think that's what makes the game so great. There's a ton of collectibles and if you can only sit down for an hour at a time to play games, it can be picked up very easily. I actually think I'll be going back to check out a little more of LCatGoL for some of the achievements and collectibles so I guess that's a pretty good indication of the quality and addictiveness.
My gaming goal for this weekend is to try and take a chunk out of Dragon Age: Origins . I had only really played DA:O on the Xbox 360 and now that I'm playing it on the PC I'm starting to realize just how good the game really is. I really didn't enjoy it on 360 due to the controls but I'm finding that using mouse and keyboard make the game infinitely better.
So far so good on the backlog but at some point this month I'm going to be getting myself a GamePass from Blockbuster. I got a ton of gift certificates at Christmas and I can check out a ton of new games (Dead Space 2, LittleBigPlanet 2, etc.) without spending a cent. My goal for 2011 is to not actually BUY a retail game with actual cash - trade-in credit is fair game. Easier said than done in a year with so many great games.

Steam Holiday Sale: The Spoils and the Damage
As promised yesterday, here is my final tally from the Steam Holiday Sale. In no particular order:
* PB Winterbottom
* Titan Quest Gold
* Super Meat Boy
* Indie Fright Pack
* Caster
* Blueberry Garden
* The Witcher: Enhanced Edition
* Puzzle Quest
* Defense Grid: The Awakening
* The Polynomial
* King Arthur Pack
* Overlord Complete Pack
* Flatout Ultimate Carnage
* Batman: Arkham Asylum GOTY
* Dragon Age: Origins � Ultimate Edition
* Mount and Blade: Warband
* Kings Bounty Platinum
* Swords and Soldiers HD
* Plants vs Zombies
* Amnesia: The Dark Descent
* Oblivion: Game of the Year
* S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Bundle
* Killing Floor Bundle
* Frozenbyte Collection
* Indie Kids Pack
* Everyday Genius: SquareLogic
So what was the final cost for all of this gaming goodness? $139.57. I think I did alright. Now I have to find the time to actually play them all.
The games I�m looking at tackling first are Dragon Age: Origins � Ultimate Edition, Amnesia: The Dark Descent, Trine, & Kings Bounty: Armored Princess. Along with the multiplayer of Killing Floor, I think I�m going to be busy for quite some time.

Curse You Steam Holiday Sale
Steam, why do you do this me?! In the past 2 weeks I have added over 40 games to my backlog just because of the Steam sale. Yes. FORTY. Games ranging from PB Winterbottom for a paltry 49 cents ($15 on XBLA) to the gargantuan Dragon Age Origins: Ultimate Edition for the decent price of $24.99. Now you might probably be wondering why someone with a huge backlog would buy so many games and I think I can explain it to you in 1 sentence. This was the first Steam sale I took part in where I actually had a computer decent enough to actually run the games.
Up until this sale I was pretty much ignorant as to what these �steam� sales were. I thought they were similar to the Xbox Live Arcade sales where the prices were cut by 33% and everyone cheered because they saved $5 on a downloadable game. I was wrong. Steam absolutely destroys any other sales available out there in the downloadable market. For example, It�s not strange at all to see a game cut by 85% and bundled with every other game of that series. Why? Just because it sells a ton more copies and it�s a bad ass thing to do, that�s why. It also makes it a lot easier to take a chance on a smaller indie game that you might not have bothered picking up at a higher price (See: Crayon Physics Deluxe for $1).
Today is the last day of the Steam sale and I still have a few more games that I�d like to pick up. I guess it all comes down to determining what games are going to eventually be at a lower price and what games are at the lowest price that they�re ever going to be (the Indie bundles). Tomorrow I�ll post a rundown on what the total damage to my bank account was and what games I came along with it. It�s frightening, in a good way (I think).

The Backlog Project: A Plan of Attack
As anyone who has ever tried to conquer their backlog will know, the beginning is quite possibly the hardest part. Not only are you trying to tear yourself away from spending money on new games but you�re making a commitment to finish games you currently own. That means not paying attention to all of the new titles coming out every week and focusing on that huge pile of games you have sitting on your shelf. It�s hard but it�s something you have to come to terms with if you want to slowly bring that pile down.
The best thing you can do is devise a plan of attack. Like any good drug there is a phase of rehabilitation and it really is hard to quit cold turkey. For myself I have decided to go with a 5 game plan. Finish 5 games and open up a slot to treat myself to a new game. I don�t exactly know if it�s the best way to conquer my backlog but it does give me incentive to actually finish 5 games on my list while only adding 1. A huge step for someone like me who at one time was adding a new game nearly every week to my collection.
So what are the 5 games I have decided to start with?
Fallout: New Vegas
� I was actually already playing New Vegas so I�ve decided to keep going at it until I finish it. Now I could rush through it but I�ve been having such a great time with it so far that I think it would be a waste to not see everything the game has to offer. I�m currently sitting at about 25 hours played.
Dead to Rights: Retribution
� Yes I know what you�re thinking. �Why the fuck do you want to play that piece of shit?� I was actually thinking the same thing when I picked it out and let me explain my reasoning behind it. It�s short and it�s one of the most recent games I bought. I really want to get it off my list and the length of it seems perfect for what I�m trying to accomplish.
� Last year I bought Torchlight and according to my Steam profile I have played it for a total of 5 minutes. Yes. FIVE minutes. Every person I�ve talked to about the game has told me how great the game is and it seems like a nice game to sit back and relax with.
Dragon Age: Origins � Ultimate Edition
� This is a scary one but there is a reason it�s on this list. Last year I bought the vanilla game on Xbox 360 and only played it for about 5 hours. I couldn�t get over how it controlled and told myself I�d pick it up on PC. Well as many of you know, Steam had a huge sale and put the Ultimate Edition on sale for $25. I bought it and it�s one of the few games in my collection I�m really looking forward to playing.
Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light
� I actually just recently picked this up and it seems like a nice short game to quickly knock off of my list. It helps that I�ve read a ton of good things about the game.
Along with the above 5 games, I�ve decided to add a few multiplayer games to my playlist to mix things up a little. I love single player games but I do also love shooting people in the face every once in awhile. The games I chose were Monday Night Combat, Call of Duty: Black Ops, and Team Fortress 2.
So there you have it. What I�m guessing will be the next month or so of gaming for myself and I can already tell that it�s going to be hell. Not that the above games are bad but more because the first quarter of 2011 is loaded with great games � the most notable in January being Dead Space 2. How will I cope? How will I not buy games? Hmm� maybe I�ve made a mistake here.

DR 2: Case Zero, Tekken 6, & Zeno Clash (Should I get it?)
First of all I would just like to say that I want the above song to be the theme song of my life. I want it to play everywhere I go just so people know not to mess with me. And if they do there's a good chance that I'm going to throw a garbage can at them.
Dead Rising 2: Case Zero
Is it a demo or is it a full fledged downloadable title? Who cares, it's fucking fun! On Friday night I had a chance to sit down with the prequel to Capcom's upcoming Dead Rising 2 and after 6 hours of straight play I think it's safe to say that I got my moneys worth. It's 400 Microsoft Points and if it doesn't sell you on DR2 at the very least you're going to have a fun little sandbox to screw around in.
The only thing I'm worried about is that Case Zero might actually be too good. It's a good chunk of gameplay and it might actually be enough for people that are still undecided about picking up the sequel. It personally made me want it more but I can see both sides here.
Tekken 6
I don't really know what to say about Tekken 6. I picked it up on sale last week for $10 and even though I've put about 10 hours into it - I think it's total shit. The fighting engine is weak, the scenario mode is garbage, and the final boss is absolutely horrible. I'm done with it and while I'd like to go back and get the 4 achievements that I'm missing I don't really see myself doing that anytime soon.
Zeno Clash
Lastly is Zeno Clash. I actually never bought Zeno Clash but I did play the demo on Xbox Live. The demo didn't really sit all that well with me but I've done a little more research on the game and I think it could really pick up after getting used to it. What do you think Destructoid? Should I pick up Zeno Clash: Ultimate Edition on Xbox Live or not? I have until tomorrow to decide as it's on sale right now for 800 MS Points. Hurry and pour on the peer pressure or peer... ummm depressurization?

Hey Destructoid!
My name is Kim Fidler, I'm Canadian, and I've been playing video games for over 25 years. Yes, you can calculate that and you'll probably realize that I'm kind of old. Not REALLY old but old enough to have 1 or 2 gray hairs (around 10 at last count). I'm 30 and even though I should be bogged down by all of the bullshit that comes with being an adult, I still love games and the gaming industry.
I don't really know what it is about games that I like so much but I think it has a lot to do with the community that surrounds them. I'm not talking about the fanboy jerk offs that populate every single gaming website, but the great people that keep this hobby a viable way to spend your free time. Take a look around at all of the people making community blogs on Destructoid and I can guarantee that every single one of those people is a great person in their own distinct way. They all have something to say and while you might not always agree with it, we as gamers are always willing to listen to different opinions.
That is why I have decided to start a blog on Destructoid. Over the past decade I have written for several gaming websites but it's come to that point in my life where I no longer want to be a member of the gaming press. It's a cool job but I have a career that I absolutely love and, well let's face it, I can't hang with all of the big names in the gaming media. I'm looking at you Jim "Big Comfort" Sterling.
So that's me. I'm a pretty normal guy that probably likes a lot of the same things that you do. I have a shaved head because it makes me look tough and I run about 25 kms a week. That's about it. Thanks for visiting my blog!

Enve rims

What I am leaning towards the crossmax's becasue they are 1500 dollars cheaper.
And the thought of Carbon rims still scare me.
What do you all think in terms of performance without price then the all things with price considered?

Top-ranked recipe named "Vegan Gelatin"
stir to disolve, bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and simmer 2 - 3 minutes. Add fruits and pour into a shallow dish, chill. Note, this may not be quite a firm as Jell-o, but it really tastes good. Agar agar is a sea vegetable, it is a bit pricey but worth it for this treat. Posted to fatfree digest by "Jan Gordon"

text: I originally choose the New Hotel thinking that it was in South Beach. When I learned that it actually was in North Miami Beach, I was a little disappointed; that is until I checked into the hotel. With quiet surroundings, close proximity to the beach, spacious rooms, comfortable beds, free parking, and other amenities, the New Hotel offered me and my guest a nice alternative to the busy environment in South Beach. This is now my first choice when I want to stay outside of South Beach!

Friends fans maybe find it hard to believe, but it's been a decade since the Central Perk crew did their last fountain dance.
On May 6, 2004, the Friends finale ("The Last One") aired, leaving viewers with a final look at Monica's apartment as the gang departed to grab one more cup of coffee. While many hope to see Chandler Bing and Co. together once more, Courteney Cox recently shot down reunion rumors on The Late Show with David Letterman, saying it's hard enough to get the group together for dinner.
Luckily, the power of Photoshop can bring people together. In honor of Friends' decade-old finale, we reunited the show's actors with their younger selves, so they can reminisce about the glory days of smelly cats and first kisses.

Looking for adventure in Cebu?
Watch this video to have a glimpse on canyoneering.
Try Canyoning.
Canyoning Defined:
Canyoning or also known as Canyoneering is an extreme sport of traveling down a river situated in a canyon by a variety of means including climbing, hiking, scrambling, and swimming.
I am not the most adrenaline junkie you will ever know but the canyoneering adventure left me such unforgettable experience. Once you've dipped yourself into the starting point, you generally have no choice but to finish. There is no turning back so just keep going.
We started from Kanlaob, Alegria to Badian. We had to pass three main falls in Kawasan. With knees and hand shaking, we had to jump off falls – not just once but several times. Once you've started, you will have to complete the remaining jumps.
Having to jump off several falls was the most spine-chilling part of this canyoning experience especially that I have fear of depth and heights. The highest and the finale jump is approximately 30 feet. Although, this is optional, I highly suggest if you have the courage, to try this finale jump.
How we got there (from Cebu City):
- As agreed, we met at the Cebu South Bus Terminal at 5:30 am. We were able to board an air-conditioned bus bound for Moalboal . It took us around 2 and half hours to reach the municipality of Moalboal.
- We checked-in and had a delightful lunch in Turtle Bay Dive Resort, Moalboal.
- From Turtle Bay, we traveled from Moalboal to Badian via private car. We parked at Matutinao Church and met our guide there.
- We rode a motorcycle (habal-habal) from Matutinao Church to the starting point.
How to get there:
If you're coming from outside Cebu, see suggestions below:
The most convenient way is to ask your resort to pick you up from the Mactan International Airport.
- From Mactan International Airport, take a cab going to South Bus Terminal or you may book a van going to Moalboal.
- Should you choose to take a bus, take the bus going to Moalboal- Aircon or Non-Aircon - This Bus will leave every hour starting at 4 am until 12 midnight. Travel from Cebu City to Moalboal will take 2-3 hours.
- Tell the Driver for your drop off.
- Check-in at the nearest town before Badian, Moalboal.
- Then contact your Canyoneering Guide.
- Wear proper gear. Rash guard, board shoes, aqua shoes and helmet to avoid any injuries.
- Contact a canyoning tour guide.
- Always be careful with your footing. Trails and rocks can be very slippery.
- Hydrate. Drink a lot of water 20-30 minutes before.
- Enjoy. Leave nothing but footprints.
Whether you are an adrenaline junkie or not, canyoneering is a must try. It is definitely a heart-pumping experience. Breathtaking scenes, adrenaline-pumping jumps, trekking and swimming left us with an unforgettable feeling of awe and humility. Overall, the experience exceeded our expectations! #canyoneeringcebu #canyoneering2015 #canyoneeringinBadian #KawasanFalls

There are more than 3,000 known types of nudibranch, and new ones are being discovered every day. They are found all through the world's seas, yet are most abundant in shallow, tropical waters. Their scientific name, Nudibranchia, comes from the Latin nudus, naked, and the Greek βραγχια, brankhia, gills. They portray the feathery gills and horns that most wear on their backs. Generally oblong in shape, nudibranchs can be thick or flat, long or short, Luxuriously colored or camouflaged to bend to their surroundings. They can be as little as 0.25 inches (6 millimeters) or as huge as 12 inches (31 centimeters) in length.
All known nudibranchs are carnivorous. Some feed on sponges, others on hydroids, and some eat other sea slugs or their eggs or, on some occasions, are cannibals and prey on members of their own species. To distinguish prey, they have two very sensitive tentacles, called rhinophores, located on top of their heads. Nudibranchs get their coloring from the food they eat, which helps in blending in with their environment, and some even hold the foul-tasting toxins of their prey and emit them as a defense against predators.
Nudibranchs are simultaneous hermaphrodites, and can mate with any mature member of their species. Their lifespan differs greatly, with some living not as much as a month, and others up to a year.
Nudibranchs have both female and male reproductive organs, however they don't regularly self-fertilize. Having both sexual organs implies that there is always a chance for propagation if two grown-ups of the same species cross ways. This is keen, considering their solitary, wandering lifestyle. Egg masses are for the most part laid on whatever surface they are feeding on and are typically winding formed or snaked. The eggs form into planktonic (free swimming) hatchlings, which float on sea streams until they settle out as adults.
Nudibranchs are gastropod mollusks. They have a place with the same phylum that includes the whelks and numerous different shells that you find along the seashore. Nudibranchs have just developed an alternate kind of body for an altogether different lifestyle – one that doesn't oblige them to surround themselves with a protective shell.
Their body is delicate and meaty, they move around on a long muscular foot (very similar to land snails) and they have rhinophores on their head that researchers accept they use to touch and sense their immediate surroundings.
A few nudibranchs have a thick bunch of gills toward the back of their body that they use for respiration, while others have arm like structures (cerata) everywhere on their body that are utilized for both respiration and defense.

Swimming could be the best workout for you for many reasons.
Its benefits can range from sheer pleasure to holistic fitness and well being.
And guess what? You can reap the most benefit out of it if you're willing to devote some time and effort.
If you doubt that getting into your swimsuit (and the water) can seriously help you reach your fitness goals, then let's dive a little deeper.
Below are some reasons why swimming is a superior workout:
1. Swimming makes you slim.
Swimming makes your arms and legs work hard against the water.
This is tantamount to exercising using weights but with reduced risks of muscle or joint injury.
Resisting strong water currents not only builds firmer and stronger muscles, it also provides a lot of cardiovascular exercise and training.
Every swimming stroke or style targets a different muscle group.
For example, you engage your core, shoulder muscles, (upper and lower) limb muscles, (front and back) trunks and neck when you do freestyle or breaststroke.
When you engage your body's largest muscle groups in a vigorous swim, it leads to faster metabolism.
Even if you do a light to moderate swim for about 30 minutes, this will burn about 500 calories.
If you keep a regular swimming routine, it will gradually result to weight loss.
2. Beat stress with a regular, vigorous swim.
According to sports psychologists, swimming for about 30 minutes a day releases endorphins.
These 'happy' hormones help defeat anxiety and depression.
You are literally going to feel better after a strenuous swim based on research.
Don't believe me?
Try swimming five laps and see how it turns a bad day into a good one.
3. Reap the benefits of aerobic exercises without putting too much strain on your joints.
Other active sports offer similar aerobic benefits such as improved digestion, clearer skin, improved alertness, and weight loss as swimming.
But they put more strain on your bones and joints.
For example, runners are susceptible to muscle injuries than swimmers.
Because of buoyancy, swimming is easy on your bones, joints and muscles but they provide the same benefits as other full body work-outs.
4. Swimming is open to people of all ages and fitness levels.
I know a handful of 70-plus divers, so what's stopping you?
Whether you're young or old, novice or expert, you can choose swimming to keep your mind and body in great shape.
Even those with previous injuries (or handicapped) can also integrate swimming as part of their rehabilitation or regular fitness program.
This is one of the best things about swimming, whatever your capabilities and limitations may be, you can transcend them if you're willing to try.
5. Playing in the water never feels like a chore – it is always pleasurable activity.
Time flies when you do what you love - so it is when you swim.
As you learn more about the strokes and other swimming techniques, you discover more ways to enjoy the water.
Science confirms that swimming is more than just a fun pastime.
Picture kids wearing mermaid tails for swimming.
Aren't they enjoying very much?
Swimming at Turtle Bay Dive Resort
When you stay at Turtle Bay Dive Resort you can choose to:
- do laps in our 19m lagoon pool;
-swim in the calm sea in front of the resort; or
- swim from White Beach Savedra - one of the best natural beaches in the island of Cebu (White Beach is only 20 minutes from Turtle Bay)

7 Sea Star Facts
Article by: Danielle Schofield
With regular appearances from the seabed to the big screen's cartoons, the starfish is a widely-known and well-loved sea creature, especially with children. However, it's not actually a fish and for that reason, marine biologists prefer to call the invertebrate a sea star.Most people know that sea stars typically have 5 (or multiples of 5) identical arms. These arms extend from a center body in a star shaped arrangement, and they travel across the seabed slowly with suction-cup "tube feet."Here are seven more fun facts on sea stars you can use to impress your kids/friends/fellow divers the next time you spot one: #1 – Sea stars can reproduce sexually and asexually. During ideal conditions, sea stars group together to spawn, and have sexual organs, or gonads, in each arm. Males and females release thousands of sperm and eggs into the water and hope they meet for fertilization. Asexual reproduction usually occurs as a result of dismemberment. #2 – Sea stars have unusual stomachs. It pushes its stomach through its mouth, digesting food while the stomach is outside its body. #3 – Sea stars don't have a brain or blood. Instead of blood, they have a seawater vascular system. In the place of a brain, the sea star has an intricate nervous system. #4 – Sea stars can change gender. Depending on availability of food and the water temperature, a sea star can change its gender to whichever one is best suited for its environment. #5 – Sea stars can regenerate body parts. A new sea star can regenerate if part of it becomes severed. Regeneration is a less than ideal way to reproduce because it doesn't allow for DNA diversification. #6 – The female sea star can produce millions of eggs. Other animals eat most of the eggs, meaning only a few will ever become adults. #7 – They have an eyespot at the end of each arm. Their vision is primitive, and they can only sense movement, light and dark.

5 Reasons To Love Moalboal
Cebu is a very well-loved destination, and for good reason: no matter what type of traveler you are.
There is just too much to see — from the northern islands of Malapascua and Bantayan, to Camotes, all the way south to Sumilon — that it would take multiple trips to see just the well-documented sights of this province.
On the western side of the province, facing the Negros landmass and Tañon Strait — an incredibly rich marine environment — is the tiny town of Moalboal. Moalboal has a quiet, small-town feel, perfect for those of you yearning for a vacation from their vacation — until you discover what's underneath its waters. Quiet, sleepy Moalboal sees unmatched action underwater — yet another reason to keep coming back to Cebu.
Here are 5 reasons why this underwater paradise is worth it, and why you should consider it for your next Cebu adventure:
The Sardine Run
The sardine run — a phenomenon in which millions of sardines form shoals as a defense mechanism against predators — is one of the most fascinating underwater spectacles to witness. Moalboal makes it rather easy to appreciate this sight: just off the shore at Panagsama Beach, millions of sardines congregate, creating long swaths or tornado-like shapes, moving in a slow rhythm that will leave most spectators speechless.
The best way to see the sardine run is from down below, by scuba diving or freediving. But it is still possible to see the sardines from snorkeling depths.
World-Class Scuba Diving
Moalboal is home to several spectacular dive sites, including Pescador Island, just 10 minutes from Panagsama Beach. Considered one of the world's best dive sites, Pescador Island offers fairly regular sightings of sea turtles, schools of jacks, frogfish, sea fans, and sundry soft and hard corals. Snorkeling trips are also possible for non-divers.
Other dive sites around the area include Tuble, Tongo Point, White Beach, Basdako Sanctuary, and Airplane Wreck, in which a two-seater plane was sunk to serve as an artificial reef. Sea turtles are also regularly sighted at the house reefs off Panagsama Beach.
With world-class dive sites just a stone's throw away, Moalboal also makes for the perfect place to take scuba diving certification courses.
Stunning Sunsets
Facing the west with a distant view of Negros, Moalboal's sunsets are another stunning sight, especially after spending a long day underwater. It's not unusual too to spot a sea turtle wading in the waters of Panagsama as the sun sinks and bathes the beach various hues of red, orange, and purple.
White Beach
With its long stretch of white sand and clear waters, White Beach, or Basdaku, compensates well for Panagsama Beach's lack of shoreline for those who want their dose of sun, sea, and sand. White Beach also hosts a line of resorts, making it an alternative base to Panagsama Beach.
Kawasan Falls
Most travelers to Moalboal opt for a sidetrip to Kawasan Falls, which is about 30 minutes away in the next town of Badian. A multi-tiered falls, Kawasan's first and biggest tier can be reached by walking 1.5 kilometers inland, where a natural pool awaits visitors. Snacks are available from stores surrounding the falls. Getting to the second and topmost tiers will require another 15 to 20 minutes.

He attended the United States Military Academy but was soon dismissed for allegedly breaking a plate over the head of one of a fellow cadet, Jubal Early. He managed to join the 6th U.S. Infantry through his influential father, who he also fought under during the Seminole War. He then went to battle in the Mexican-American War where he was decorated for his bravery. Lewis Armistead In The Civil War As the Civil War broke, Armistead resigned from the U.S. Army in May 1861. He then became a colonel of the 57th Virginia Infantry. The following year, Armistead became a brigadier general in Pickets Division. He led his brigade in the Battle of Malvern Hill and achieved victories at Fredricksburg and Chancellorsville. His actions during Pickett's Charge on the 3rd day of the Battle of Gettysburg is where Armistead is mostly remembered for. He fixed his hat on the tip of his sword and waved it in the air as he led his men toward the fortified Union Center. They reached a stone wall known as the Angle and were overwhelmed by the Union forces. He was shot three times and taken to a hospital where he died three days later aged just 46. The surgeon who tended to Armistead's wounds had expected him to survive. He said the wounds were found in the fleshy part of the arm and just below his knee. The wounds were not fatal. The chief surgeon wrote the death "was not from his wounds directly, but from secondary fever and prostration".

The Cleveland Browns got their man Andrew Hawkins. The question is, did the Browns pay too much money for the 5'7″ 180lbs. wide receiver? Hawkins is a small guy with a lot of speed.
He missed 8 games last season with an ankle injury, and with his size, you have to wonder how durable he will be. The NFL is a tough physical place, and when you only weigh 180 lbs, and you take hits from line-backers who out-weight you by 60lbs, your body takes a beating.
Hawkins comes into Cleveland hoping to be the spark the Browns offense needed to get things going.
The Browns signed him to a four-year deal worth, $13.6 million, including a $3.8 million signing bonus and $10.8 million over the first two years.
The Bengals weren't going to match it and it took 5 days for Cleveland to get their man. Hawkins is no stranger to Cleveland. He tried to become a Cleveland Brown in 2008 by attending the rookie mini-camp as a tryout invitation.
He didn't make it and he would go on to play with the Montreal Alouettes of the Canadian Football League, helping the team capture the Grey Cup both seasons.
He then found his way into the NFL with the St Louis Rams and then waived in 2011, that's when the Bengals claimed him off the wires. He played in 35 NFL games, all with Cincinnati, totaling 86 receptions for 995 yards with four touchdowns. He also has 13 rushes for 58 yards.
The Cleveland front office sees something they like with Hawkins. Will he be the offensive weapon the team hopes he can be? He is a fast guy who can pick up a lot of yards after the catch.
We just have to hope he is durable enough to last the season. Lets hope Cleveland knows what they are doing with this free agent signing.

Tavon Austin 5'9″ 174
T.Y. Hilton 5'9″ 178
Percy Harvin 5'11" 184
Smaller receivers will get hurt especially playing in the slot, but when you find a good one they are worth every penny. Let's hope Hawkins is one of them worth the money. His height worries me more then his weight.
LG, spot on. I know we got money to spend but lets not be stupid. Hawk seems like a good slot WR. But who knows lets see him play an entire season. I think my problem is with the gaurenteed money.
But with his hieght he should get lost in the crowd and not easy to see unless you are looking for him. You know where's Waldo.
small yes but unlike our current wrs he can catch and gets yac if we don't take Watkins and Hyde with 4 and 26 and keep Lewis cut the rest draft ol help and a 4th or 5th rd qb and get a cb free agent or draft it will be a huge huge disappointment here in Cleveland

Federal CIO Steven VanRoekel is serving double duty as acting deputy director of management.
The Obama administration is moving ahead with a plan to overhaul government management policies, but could be hampered by a depleted roster of senior leaders at OMB.
The management rethink is taking place with top level vacancies at the Office of Management and Budget. Federal CIO Steven VanRoekel is serving double duty as acting deputy director of management (DDM). Controller Danny Werfel is detailed to the IRS as acting commissioner, dealing with the aftermath of revelations that officials there unfairly targeted conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status. The administration announced plans Aug. 1 to nominate Clinton-era deputy director for management John Koskinen to head the IRS, there's no word on when Werfel might return to OMB. (The agency did not reply to a request for comment.) Additionally, the post of associate director for performance and personnel management is being filled on an acting basis by a career official.
The recent rollout of plans for a management rethink suggest that a DDM appointment is in the offing, said Jonathan Breul, who served for 10 years as a senior advisor to the DDM at OMB, and is currently adjunct professor at the Georgetown Public Policy Institute. However, he and others noted that the absence of a confirmed occupant of the post can have negative consequences for the ability of an administration to execute its priorities across government.
At OMB, the director is focused squarely on activity at the White House and on the budget. The DDM, said Breul, "handles everything else – the coordination councils, all the statutory offices. It's a broad activity that includes financial management, procurement, IT, regulations inspectors general. There's not an activity that doesn't fall under the DDM."
Robert Shea, who served as associate director for OMB administration and government performance during the George W. Bush administration, said it's harder for an acting DDM to exert influence over senior agency officials. "Making sure that all these different offices that are their own little fiefdoms can cooperate is the critical role of the DDM," said Shea, now a principal at Grant Thornton. "An acting DDM has a harder time doing it. He has an even harder time of it with acting subordinates, and it's a challenged that needs to be addressed."
Successful collaboration among agencies is a potential casualty of the lack of a Senate-confirmed DDM. As chair of the President's Management Council, the DDM is tasked with settling turf battles among agencies, managing cost-cutting initiatives, sharing best business practices, and communicating management priorities. "Collaboration is not a natural act," Breul said. "It requires good and effective leadership. That's why the DDM is so important. Left to their own devices, everyone retreats into their own silo."
And the relatively small size of OMB makes it tricky for officials to pivot to new duties amid senior vacancies, Breul said, and the institution of 10 furlough days at OMB under sequestration is not helping matters.
The constrained budgetary environment makes filling top management slots more of an imperative, said Max Stier, president and CEO of the Partnership for Public Service. His group is coming out with its own management reform agenda next week. Stier praised Obama's previous DDM, Jeffrey Zients, as well as the officials in acting roles on the management side of OMB. But, he said, "a short-term leader is going to be rewarded for crisis management, not for the long-term health of the organizations they run."
In addition to top-level vacancies, the clock is running on the administration's ability to institute meaningful management reform. The Clinton and George W. Bush administrations had management plans in place within about a year of taking office. "This is a second-term president, already seven-plus months into that second term," Stier said.
There's no clear timetable for filling the DDM post and other vacant positions. VanRoekel has been touted as a candidate for the permanent position. Breul said that VanRoekel's relationship with director Sylvia Burwell and his affinity for the technological focus of the Obama management agenda make him a strong candidate. Stier also cited VanRoekel's work as CIO of the FCC as a strength, and added that he thinks it should be a requirement for all senior OMB personnel to have spent some time on the front lines of an agency. Werfel, whose stint heading up the IRS appears could be nearing an end, has also been suggested for the job. There's also the possibility that the administration will choose an outsider.
Moreover, it's possible that whoever is named to the DDM post won't be long for the job, if he or she is called to plug a leak in a crisis somewhere else in the administration. Breul said he had a Senate-confirmed boss for about half of the 10 years he worked at OMB. "This is a chronic problem, particularly at a place like OMB. When you've got real talent, they move in many directions."

Guess the president could have seen this coming when he came up with this DUMB sequester idea that was going to force congress and you to work together. Lol!!! And congress, you're not off the hook either. You dummies fell for it, approved it and sent it back to the prez for signature. Now it's a frickin law!! What the heck is the matter with you people down there in DC? Always blaming each other for something dumb that you BOTH had a hand in creating?? Mr. president, the sequester was a bad idea, admit it. Rebublicans/democrats, the sequester was a bad idea, admit it. Now with the cost reductions on the books you're really going to go through with this terrible idea for many years. What a bunch of spineless bureaucrats. Make some decisions and stop hiding behind what you both created.

Folks. don't lose sight of the fact that the
sinkhole-and-cavern problem is only a small part
of this whole thing.
the fundamental problem with the "cavern" is that
Texas Brine did not conform to established engineering standards
when they were harvesting the brine from the cavern: they
washed away too much of the salt structure from the sides
of the cavern and thereby weakened the cavern structure
to the point of causing collapse (which in turn puts
the entire Napoleanville Salt Dome complex in jeopardy)
the MOST HUGE part of the problem is that coincidentally with this
salt dome fiasco, a deep reservoir of natural gas has decided
to seep its way to the surface -- and it is this natural
gas which coincidentally filled the Texas Brine "cavern".
But! more importantly, all of this natural gas, which
is leaking up from a reservoir deep in the earth's crust,
is ALSO saturating all of the ground in southern louisiana --
and it is this "natural gas problem" that is the catastrophic component of the whole situation.
Anonymous Coward 25192789
I agree with you for the most part except for the Texas brine stuff, I think the bottom side of the cavern was melted by external water, either sea water or, the water left over by hydrolic fracturing. I think the second option due to shale coming in with it.
The industry has a good scape goat to pay for everything for the moment, I wonder how many other companies will have expensive bills before this is over.

30 July A lazy start to the day, drove down to Cairns to do the Sky Rail trip up to Kuranda Village in the rainforest.Cost was $109.00 each return trip. Boarded the gondola at 10.35 and after 2 stops with a boardwalk through the bush area we arrived at Kuranda at 12pm.

The Mahindra Enforcers have finally come to terms with players Alex Nuyles and Mike Burtscher after the coaches and players made their complaints – which included not honoring their contract obligations – public in the past several days.
Nuyles' one-year contract extension, which Mahindra management had previously told him was invalid, will be honored, according to his manager Ed Ponceja, while Burtscher and Mahindra have reached an agreement on a buyout of his deal as well.
"Nagkaroon lang daw ng miscommunication," Ponceja told InterAksyon.com in a telephone interview.
MIAMI -- Hassan Whiteside believes he'll need about another week to recover from a strained right calf that has sidelined the Miami Heat center through the first two weeks of the preseason.
Whiteside, projected to be Miami's starter, will miss his second consecutive exhibition game Wednesday when the Heat face the Orlando Magic in Louisville, Kentucky.
The team continues to officially list Whiteside as day-to-day, but he has yet to practice since training camp opened last week.
The Mahindra Enforcers may have begun to settle the contract disputes that have had them all over the headlines in the past several days but not before their players were able to disclose details about their plight with one of the PBA's newest franchises.
Alex Nuyles, Hans Thiele, JR Buensuceso, Mike Burtscher and former coach Glenn Capacio all revealed stories of empty promises, tricky negotiation tactics, and misleading communication from inside what they perceived to be a disorganized organization.
Nuyles and Thiele both shared how they were convinced to sign contracts with terms that changed from what they were led to believe.
MANILA, Philippines – Over a month since beginning its preseason preparation, Star veteran wingman James Yap said everybody remains in "adjustment mode" under rookie coach Jason Webb.
Unlike the past four seasons with Tim Cone where their training centered a lot on the triangle offense, this time, the 6-foot-2 Yap said they have zeroed in on pushing the basketball at every given opportunity.
"Naga-adjust pa rin kami lahat kay coach J-Webb kaya lahat kami focused talaga sa practice," Yap said, shortly after Star squeaked past NLEX, 75-73 in their tuneup match on Tuesday at Ronac gym behind Rafi Reavis' game-winning tip-in at the buzzer.
NEW YORK -- A white police officer singled out a black professional basketball player as he filed out of a trendy nightclub this year, sparking a confrontation that resulted in the player's arrest and a season-ending leg fracture, a defense lawyer told jurors Tuesday.
"I don't know what he saw," attorney Alex Spiro said of the officer, JohnPaul Giacona, who first told the Atlanta Hawks' Thabo Sefolosha to clear the area early on April 8. "I think he saw a black man in a hoodie."
Sefolosha, 30, has been charged with misdemeanor obstructing government administration, disorderly conduct and resisting arrest. He pleaded not guilty and refused a plea deal.
After his scintillating showing in the 2015 Fiba Asia Championship, Calvin Abueva is representing the Philippines once again as he leads Manila North in the 2015 Fiba 3×3 World Tour Finals in Abu Dhabi.
The energetic forward has been given the green light by Alaska to play alongside Vic Manuel, Karl Dehesa, and Troy Rosario against the world's best 3-on-3 players on October 15 and 16.
"They were already allowed by their clubs to participate," said Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas executive director Sonny Barrios in Filipino.
One of the biggest revelation Gilas Pilipinas' campaign in the 2015 Fiba Asia Championship, Terrence Romeo expressed his eagerness to once again don the national colors.
"Ready ako anytime para sa Pilipinas (I'm ready anytime for the Philippines.)," the cat-quick guard said in a video taken by Philippine Daily Inquirer's Musong Castillo in Changsa, China.
Romeo, a newbie in the national team but made heads turn with a fantastic showing in the Jones Cup, is taking the lessons from the defeat to China in the Fiba Asia final by heart.
Far Eastern University no longer sees National University as a sputtering defending champion when the first round of the UAAP men's basketball tournament wraps up Wednesday.
"They got their game already," FEU coach Nash Racela said of the Bulldogs, who are on a three-game roll after a 0-3 start.
"We always believed when they were struggling, they only needed one win and they would get going," added Racela. "They have the experience, they have good players and the best import [in Alfred Aroga]."
MANILA, Philippines – Gilas cadet program with an end goal of qualifying for the 2019 FIBA World Cup is possible or can be successful if started as early as now.
Gilas assistant coach Jong Uichico said cadet players would entail a lot of hard work to gain the needed maturity and competitiveness for the regional qualifier in 2017.
"There's a lot difference on what PBA players can give. They have a lot of exposure in the PBA. And because they play so many games, they gain so much experience, making them mature players," said Uichico.
Aside from grueling competition in the 2015 Fiba Asia Championship final, Gilas Pilipinas had to endure a whole lot of other things not related to the game in China.
Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas executive director Sonny Barrios, fresh off the trip with Gilas Pilipinas, shared some of the experiences of the national team in Changsa, China where the Filipinos stayed for almost two weeks.
From the dangerous ride back to the team hotel after the semifinals victory against Japan where the bus counter-flowed in the opposite lane; the uncharged bus manned by a suspicious driver on the day of the championship; the lack of tickets for Philippine delegation for the final, forcing them to buy from scalpers; and the suspicious changing of the net during the Gilas' shootaround.

Throughout the testing, the children also underwent functional MRI (fMRI) to monitor their brain activity, with particular focus on two regions of the rear, left brain: the bilateral occipitotemporal and left temporoparietal areas. Both have previously been shown to have a role in dyslexia.
The results: Children in the at-risk group were found to have reduced brain activity in the two key brain areas, compared to their peers with similar age and IQ who did not have family risk factors.
In addition, the research team found that among at-risk pre-reading children there was no evidence of activity increases in key frontal lobe brain regions previously linked to dyslexia. This, they said, suggested that the brain's method for trying to compensate for the problems associated with dyslexia does not appear to be set in motion until after children begin to read.
"Early identification of children at risk in kindergarten or even before then offers a chance to reduce the clinical, psychological and social implications of reading disability/dyslexia," Gaab said. "Identifying early predictors will also help educators, parents and scientists to find ways to support the academic and cognitive development of children with reading disability/dyslexia and may also lead to strategies that will reduce the severity of reading disability."
Guinevere Eden, director of the Center for the Study of Learning and a professor of pediatrics at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C., expressed enthusiasm for what she deemed to be "the first study of its kind."
"The question has always been, are these physiological changes the result of dyslexia or are they there to begin wi

Voucher Guarantee
Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used towards that service with that business for an additional 30 days.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher towards a bungy jump, for another 30 days.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.
