Posted November 12, 2012 on AP on Fox
Mike Trout of the Los Angeles Angels became the youngest AL Rookie of the Year on Monday and Bryce Harper of the Washington Nationals was voted the second-youngest winner of the NL honor. Trout, who turned 21 on Aug. 7, received all 28 first-place votes from the Baseball Writers' Association of America's AL panel. The center fielder was the eighth unanimous AL pick and the first since Tampa Bay's Evan Longoria in 2008. Trout, who hit .326 with 30 homers and 83 RBIs, received the maximum 140 points. Oakland outfielder Yoenis Cespedes was second with 63, followed by Texas pitcher Yu Darvish (46), who joined Trout as the only players listed on every ballot. Detroit second baseman Lou Whitaker had been the youngest AL winner in 1978, but he was 2 months, 26 days older than Trout when he took home the award. In addition to Trout and Longoria, the only other unanimous AL winners were Nomar Garciaparra, Derek Jeter, Tim Salmon, Sandy Alomar Jr., Mark McGwire and Carlton Fisk. Trout, a...

I grew up in a house where they were michigan fans but oft didn't know who they played the next saturday didn't know a ton about them, but watched them every week. No one in my family had ever been to college. No one in my family had ever been to a Michigan game at the big house. I was always the most diehard fan there was. I wore the number six (or 16, or 86, or anything with a six in it) because of Tyrone Wheatley. I remember the rose bowl in 93 when I was six (turned 7 eight days later) but I don't remember what happened on my sixth birthday, or seventh for that matter. I went to my first real live Big House game when I was 17. Paid my own way. Got tickets from a friend of my sister-in-law's. I knew from the time I was 8 I wanted to go to Michigan; there was just no way in hell I was going unless I took on an assload of debt. I transferred to U of M - Dearborn after my freshman year in Siberia (Michigan Tech) and graduated Magna Cum Laude half paying my own way/half being indebted to Wachovia and the government for student loans. I discovered this website my sophomore year of college and have become a bigger fan each year. I saw my first game at Yost last year and hope to get to Crisler soon.

I show my true art and
They broke my heart
They gave me new scars and labels
They sent me crashing through the world
Causing others to shun me away in disgust
Somehow I crashed into your angelic arms
I waited for you to sent me in disgust
Instead you held me tight as if trying to push all the pieces of my heart together
And you showed how to get out the Shadows of the Forgotten
And into the Light of the Forgiven
This is good. It really defines what it means to be raw.
This is beautiful!!
Nah, a lot of unnecessary anti-dramatic capitalization.
This isn't free verse really, feels like you are trying really hard to make it fit rather than flow.
Not bad, not different.
This isn't free verse really, feels like you are trying really hard to make it fit rather than flow.
Not bad, not different.
You mean when i capitalize the first word of every line? I thought a lot of poets do that
No, like in the last lines you made Light and stuff in CAPs.
You're right it is unnecessary but i do it anyway cuz for me its a actual place. I put it in Free Verse because i didn't know any other place to put it in. I can't flow that well so i like my poems to fit together like puzzle pieces.
this is pretty cool. it's very visual
<3 it's beautifull, and has that lovely savior aura around it

- Floyd Bennett - Student Encyclopedia (Ages 11 and up)
(1890-1928). American pioneer aviator Floyd Bennett piloted the explorer Richard E. Byrd on what the two claimed was the first successful flight over the North Pole on May 9, 1926. For this feat both Bennett and Byrd received the U.S. Congressional Medal of Honor. (Some doubt always lingered over whether their plane had actually reached the North Pole. The discovery in 1996 of the diary that Byrd had kept on his famous flight suggests that the airplane was still about 150 miles [240 kilometers] short of the North Pole when Byrd decided to turn back because of his concern over an oil leak.)

Marianne Moore's indictment of her own craft remains to this day a shrewd affront to critical exegesis. Piqued by 'the immovable critic', she treads a fine line in 'Poetry' between approbation and displeasure, a feeling entangled in the confession that 'we do not admire what / we cannot understand'. Notwithstanding her penchant for axioms of this sort, Moore inclines elsewhere to a mode of expression that is dense, riddling and allusive; a poetics fit for sustained 'inspection', perhaps, but one whose fluid textual condition also resists 'high sounding interpretation'. Given Moore's tendency to revise published material – shuffling, redacting, reworking, restoring – it has often been difficult to say what 'all this fiddle' amounts to.
In taking Moore's doubts about interpretation seriously, this special issue of Glossator proposes a broad approach to her verse and the stylistics of commentary. Glossing, annotating, doodling, and footnoting – Moore was always sensitive to…

So I had another cervix length/growth ultrasound today. I am 16 weeks, 6 days due June 14th. But he was measuring at 17 weeks 2 days. Eariler in the pregnancy, my first due date was the 12th but he measured smaller and at one point was measuring June 16th but they left the 14th (around 11 weeks). Anyways, now he's ahead, is this normal? I'm just wondering haha as all mine were lil ones, my oldest, born at 41 weeks, is considered petite, being 5 years old and weighs 34lbs. She eats a ton and is healthy but is in the 3rd percentile for everything. My DS is in the 5th for height and 50th for weight. My youngest, a preemie is in the 5th also for everything. We're all just tiny lol.
I'm 5'5 and DH is 5'7. My mom is 5'0 and so is his mom. His dad is 5'5 and no idea about my dad. So we're all just small, my heaviest baby at birth was 7lbs 1oz! The men in my mothers side (I know nothing of fathers side) are VERY tall. The women are all petite, I'm the first not to be. So maybe this lil boy is taking after them? What happens if he's like HUGE? Will I need a c-section? Lol I am terrified of that.
Also the ultrasound measured his weight at 6oz. He said it was the limit weight for this age and looked like ehh, it's ok, the limit lol. Baby center says 17 weeks is 5oz. Anyone else? Does that mean a big baby? Lol all mine were small so this is the first. I must sound really silly huh? I just an soooo thankful he's doing so well! That's all that matters :)

It's driven some Canadians to private for-profit clinics. A new one opens somewhere in Canada almost every week. Although it's not clear that such private clinics are legal, one is run by the president of the Canadian Medical Association, Dr. Brian Day, because under government care, he says, "We found ourselves in a situation where we were seeing sick patients and weren't being allowed to treat them. That was something that we couldn't tolerate."
Canadians stuck on waiting lists often pay "medical travel agents" to get to America for treatment. Shirley Healey had a blocked artery that kept her from digesting food. So she hired a middleman to help her get to a hospital in Washington state.
"The doctor said that I would have only had a very few weeks to live," Healey said.
Yet the Canadian government calls her surgery "elective."
"The only thing elective about this surgery was I elected to live," she said.
Not all Canadian health care is long lines and lack of innovation. We found one place where providers offer easy access to cutting-edge life-saving technology, such as CT scans. And patients rarely wait.
But they have to bark or meow to get access to this technology. Vet clinics say they can get a dog or a cat in the next day. People have to wait a month.

Early 1960's 8mm Projector Technology
Working with a few projectors like the 1961 Swiss made Bolex 18-5 and a 1969 B&H Automatic 8mm/Super 8, I was able to create a 4k transfer system. This system required a replacement incandescent projector bulb with a modern LED and Halogen bulbs. Upgrading the projector like this, I was able to keep the heat to a minimum and increase the effective lumens.
Pro Tips Working With Film
Question Everything
Air and water pollution from old factories and unsustainable systems need to be questioned. We cannot let powers go unchecked, and so this body of work will speak for me when I am gone. This digital footage is to give the next generation a look at our current world. Hopefully, this honest and sober portrait will help the young see the errors in our ways.
Risky Actions = Best Videos
Technology leads the way
With tools like 'daylight mapping', you can find exactly where the sun is going to hit a surface (like a mountain's face) and know exactly the spot to catch the best angle. New technologies like this are available on all mobile phones and give you so much flexibility to plan out great shots that can even light indoor places, like Coors Field, perfectly. No doubt that technology will play a big role in how a stock cinematographer can make a great business case as to why they are extremely valuable.
Baby stock video learning curve
You have to be extremely patient and nimble to catch those rare baby moments that make stock videos gold, and your baby a stock video superstar. Really shoot everything your baby does, and then just spend all your Saturday nights marveling at the cuteness and editing out those rare moments.
Big picture baby assets and legacy
Models Welcome!
Reach out to me if you are a model as I might want to invest in you. I see stock video production as a long play, in the range of 5-10 years as video in small business advertising, and even consumer consumption will peak. Shooting mostly in 4k helps keep us ahead of the curve as we see UHD resolution (3840x2160) as the next leap in mass technology adoption coming soon. Remember how long it took to go from 480p television to 1080p? This leap took a long time, because the video production industry had to sync up with the TV makers and content delivery companies like Comcast. All these pieces had to come into place to upgrade the entire system to 1080p HD resolution. In 2015, now it is even broadcasted for free over the public airwaves in the United States and elsewhere.
4k TV mass adoption is ~5 years out; invest your time with me to create assets that will grow in value as the world changes to 4k video consumption. Invest in yourself by building a portfolio of video assets that you can actively sell.
Letter tiles are really fun to make for great introduction and title sequences. You need to introduce a concept in a fun way? Do you want to break up your boring videos and throw in a really fun tester? These clips are really great to use to keep your audience awake and make them solve a quick puzzle in their head. Have you ever seen the American TV show, 'Wheel of Fortune'? It is an addicting game show where everyone like to guess what the word is from the missing letters. It is tons of fun, and these videos will give your viewer the jolt they need to try and guess what is being spelled out. These tiles are similar to scrabble or boggle, but are not.
I will spell anything (almost)
Give me the words you want (and some direction) and I will be able to make you custom videos for this. As you can imagine, the sky's the limit, as far as what we can do with this. You want tons of words coming in and out? No problem; I can make it happen. I have male and female hand models that can be used as well. Or if you want a dogs paw or other interesting production, just let me know.
Have you ever wondered what a Croatian penny looked like? Or how about the currency of a country that is not even around anymore, like the Yugoslavian 2 Cents? Or maybe 1 Dram of Nagorno-Karabakh Republic is more your style. ;)
Tons of Exotic and Wacky Countries
With over 100 different stock videos of wonderful rotating coins, you cannot go wrong. We have all of these coins in our stock footage prop vault, so if you want multiple shots, we can set up the studio and start getting you great videos.
Coin Videography is Hard
Turns out, shooting coins is pretty hard, as you have to get the turntable speed right without wobbling. The hardest part is getting your lighting setup to give you a desired light reflection or not. I played with different backgrounds and lighting, and found what works for different sizes and colors of coins. As you will see, the first set of coins were not the best videos. :( But the most recent ones are brilliant, so trust that we learned our production lessons and will give you the perfect ones upon request.
Have you seen real uncirculated fiat paper currency from all corners of the world? Some of these look fake, but they are not.. Are they worth anything? Well, no. ..it's fiat, and it always goes to zero eventually. :)
Political Statements in Stock Video
For this unique project, I went for an extra exposed look to give the money the feeling of being created out of 'thin air'. Just as a fiat currency is created out of thin air by the central banks, I wanted to try and emulate the idea that money can be both created and destroyed at the simple spin of a wheel. From the glory of a force as mysterious as a bright light, a brand new banknote comes and then goes.
Crisp, uncirculated notes are key
All of these notes were in insanely great condition, but still, it was pretty hard to get them to stand up completely straight without a lot of trial and error. Eventually, what you see is using small wall putty balls to stick the bills upright. I found that both the corners and the middle were needed to keep the bill from falling over. Fun project. I also have these in the stock footage prop vault, so please let me know if you want a bunch of awesome shots with these authentic, mint condition banknotes from around the world.
These are 1/16 inch thick of 100% real exotic wood. These are used to put a wood look on just about any surface and make a really cool effect when rotating with a strong light source, as the paper currency collection have a similar effort of overexposure to give a strong lighting effect of nature. I wish you could smell each one of these, as they have a subtle difference and really set the mood for the exotic place these woods came from.
The Madness Behind The Art
I wanted to express my love for nature, especially forests. Forested land is the most sacred and wonderful place to be when you need to recharge and feel the peace and serenity around you. Going to the forest is like going to the light in some religions, and so the videos reflect the need to feel warm and secure in the beauty of nature, just like a religious experience for some. All the videos start with just the bare edge of the wood to show how fragile and delicate even the most powerful tree can be. These trees have been cut down to the finest display of elegance and tenderness, and then build up to show how unique and random the inside of a tree can be. Like a fingerprint or a snowflake, each tree's wood pattern showcases the massive scale of the universe.
Need Wood?
These are stashed in a humidor to keep these ultra-thin real wood pieces from warping in the Colorado dry mountain air. There are about 50 total veneers in the vault, so let us know your ideas about how we could custom shot these for your next project.
Timelapse--- a stock video videographer would not be complete without pointing the camera on something and speeding up the playback. Doing a cityscape or a cloud timelapse video is a right of passage to earn your 'just like everyone else' degree. Yay! I have done a couple of timelapses of plants growing in the night that came out pretty good. They are only at 720p though, so it is not even worth putting up. All I am saying is, look out for my timelapse stuff, because I am going to do some real innovative and fun shots.
Rocks… do you love rocks so much like me? Here is an awesome collection of 50 videos of specimen-quality rocks from all over the world. These include gemstones, minerals, and other samples that are great for teaching about earth science or even more advanced geology.
Technical Rock Rotating Details
Each rock is rotating on a turntable and had to be manually set up to get the best picture quality possible. Lighting is tricky on these, as some of the subjects will reflect and others… well, not so much. I used a lot of 3 point lighting with 100watt equivalent compact fluorescent bulbs to get the light wrapped around every nook and cranny of the rocks! You can even see a few where I have to use a black leather piece to give more contrast to a white rock. Each video is just over 15 seconds long, so this is roughly a 4 rotation per minute speed.
Custom Rock Work Available
As you guessed it, these rocks are in my stock footage prop vault, so you are always just a call away from getting any shot you want with these gems. ;)

West Jordan family injured when van is hit by tire on I-15
Members of a West Jordan family were injured Sunday morning after a pickup lost a tire on Interstate 15 near Salt Lake City.
Utah Highway Patrol troopers said the family's minivan was northbound about 11 a.m. when a southbound pickup from Idaho hauling a fifth-wheel trailer lost a tire.
The tire bounced over a 6-foot tall concrete barrier and struck the minivan's windshield.
The driver was transported to University Hospital and two of the four children inside were taken to Primary Children's Hospital. None suffered life-threatening injuries, troopers said.
The pickup continued on, unaware it had lost a tire. A witness followed the pickup until police were able to stop it.
Trooper said it appears the tire's lug nuts were not properly tightened.

25 new Screenshots of various changes to our maps and a brief listing of many changes made to improve your gaming experience.
Posted by AgeofChivalry on May 3rd, 2009
Hey guys, Tibberius Bane here just letting you know about some of the stuff I've been working on lately. Me and the rest of the level design crew have been revamping all of our maps, from those that were least popular, to the good old favourites. Nearly all maps had significant adjustments made to them for this release.
In some cases it was purely aesthetic changes but for many maps, objectives, spawn locations and general gameflow have been adjusted and adapted to fit their layouts better. While the apperance of maps can add to the environment and enjoyment of the game, the main focus of the update we're working on right now is absolutely on gameplay.
This is something i will likely come back to several times as we go through the development and marketing process for this release, that we are striving first and foremost to improve the way the game plays and how the maps flow in this release. In a later blog i will touch on our new movement system and other gameplay changes that will drastically change the tactics that players use to fight and exchange blows. For now, we'll focus in on the maps.
Almost all of our maps had gameplay changes, whether it was making it easier to drop down from a wall to get into combat with other players or it was smoothing out pathways, adding objectives, adjusting spawn locations or just simple old bugfixing, all of the changes have come together to make our maps into something we really feel like we can be proud of. I'll briefly list some changes and post some screenshots, but keep in mind, just because something isn't mentioned or in a screenshot doesn't mean it hasn't been addressed or fixed!
- Made several ways for defenders to drop from wall without damage
- Moved final mason spawnpoints forward so you no longer drop into the well after spawning
- Changed gameflow to be more linear, and reduce traveling distance. Tavern cannot be reached before townsquare is captured and agathians begin the map spawned at the townsquare
- Removed back hallways
- Changed capture area and made flags display how many have been captured in overlook
- Added control point on the bridge, capturing results in a forward spawn, point can be recaptured by other team
- Added control point on in the middle island, acts as a forward spawn, can be recaptured
- Adjusted lighting to be brighter, smoothed and fixed many pathway and lighting issues
- Added second side-way in to each temple
- Moved former village flag capture to infront of barn
- Added new objective, Reclaim the loot! (bring 3 vases from wagon back to barn area)
- Adjusted spawning locations throughout map
- Fixed random massive lag issues
- Removed roof on ram and adjusted ram pathways to no longer get stuck on player in many areas
- Forced respawn after gate is broken to prevent players from "frontrushing" the statue
- Big lighting adjustments to be more appropriate to the games mood and atmosphere
- Fixed occasional heavy lag when statue breaks
- Smoothed many pathways and routes up the cliff and hill
- Made side ram route wider to allow for more room to fight
- Fixed issue where masons could sit in well water and kill agathians that landed on them
And plenty of other changes that are escaping my mind at the moment but anyway enough text, here's some Screenshots for you! :)
Lookie here, you even get a sneak preview of a new map we have that's a Work in Progress!
Very cool, looking forward to it.
So glad to hear that the maps are being fixing. Some of them had some shocking mistakes and it's surprising how often they ruin a game. So good on ya's for putting in the effort to improve the maps.
Sounds like you're on top of everything, but I have one thing to add. Sometimes there are spaces that look like you can fit through but you can't, due to the space being just a couple of units too narrow. I noticed this in the spawn on the beach in Monastery (that's the one where you take loot to the boats, right?). It's frustrating because sometimes you just waste time taking a route that turns into a surprise dead end, but it's most frustrating when you're in a battle and you're looking for an escape or quick route, only to end up being raped in a corner that shouldn't be.
So please make spaces like this either obviously narrow or obviously wide, so they can be judged from a distance. Anything in-between causes confusion and frustration in gameplay.
nice lookin maps!!
There should be balancewise Optimizations instead of making the level-design even more perfect as it is at the moment.
Yes, should have mentioned a ton of work has been done in terms of optimization in many areas of the game, not limited to just the mapping department but also code streamlining, polycount and LOD adjustments in the models and a lot more. In addition there will be several new options available to the player in our new "aoc options menu" which will allow you to further adjust the game to perform better or look better depending on your preference.
Hate to be "that guy", but when can us mere mortals expect to get our grubby gauntlets on this?
You must have missed our fineprint; "Look for this update to hit steam late may or early June!"
Too easily distracted by pretty pictures, clearly! >_<

Visual search engine Searchme has announced the addition of two new features. The first is Media Search, which allows users to search for videos and images from YouTube and Flickr. The second is "Stacks," a visual bookmarking and sharing features that enables users to share what they find on blogs, social media profiles, email and web sites.
"These visual search applications enhance our core search engine by allowing people to use Searchme in fresh, innovative ways across various media and all over the Web," said Randy Adams, Searchme CEO. "It's another step in our long-term plan to add features and functionality, improve our beta engine's relevance and coverage, and create a world-class search experience."
"Until now, most web users have had to check multiple bookmarks every day, click on dozens of links pasted into an email, and hunt multiple times for sites they saw once but didn't have time to check out," said Adams. "With Stacks, they can now bypass these methods, saving time and creating an organized web experience."

Picture: Beyonce and Jay-Z are seen leaving Bergdorf Goodman after some Christmas Eve shopping New York City, USA - 24.12.12
Beyonce is showing some big love for her country's biggest events this year, as she sang the American national anthem, The Star-Spangled Banner, at Barack Obama's second presidential inauguration, as well as being the artist to perform at this year's Superbowl half-time show.
She and Jay-Z have been very vocal about their support of the president over both his campaigns and terms, and the couple of couples have dined together on numerous occasions. As she walked on stage she greeted Michelle Obama, the first lady, with a familial kiss, and spoke to Joe Biden, the Vice President. After she had finished her rousing and, as MTV put it, 'diva-fied' rendition of the anthem, Obama shook her hand and said "Thank you so much."
Kelly Clarkson also performed for the president, singing a historic song popularly known as 'America', otherwise known as My Country, 'Tis of Thee.
Song choice at inauguration events are always a well considered affair. This year Lupe Fiasco was taken off stage at a concert in its celebration after performing a track that criticised the president, but four years ago at Obama's first inauguration, Beyonce sang Etta James' 'At Last' to ring in the first term of the first black president.
Here's Beyonce talking about performing while pregnant early last year:

1991 Jeep Cherokee • 199,388 miles
My '91 Cherokee has issues in warmer temperatures. I replaced the fuel pump and filter last year and it ran like a champ in the heat. Now I am having the same issues. 70-85 degree days no issues really. 85 and up not so good. The Jeep starts and shortly dies afterward or later while running an errand. My mechanic has tested it many times. No flags. We swapped the crankshaft censor. No good. Hes tried several other solutions but to no avail. The biggest problem is getting it to act up when we need it too. Im looking for solutions or advice regarding this issue.

Remember Me
David Byrne :: 06.26.09 :: Greek Theatre :: Berkeley, CA
As the sun set nicely over the distant horizon and up came the city lights, I was anticipating something great from Byrne. What else could I expect from the person who this year was given the first opportunity to curate his own stage at Bonnaroo, and has hosted Sessions @ West 54th, won countless awards and used his label, Luaka Bop, to introduce the world to incredible artists? The stage was quickly set in a configuration that left much of it open, with a sole microphone front and center for an all-white dressed Bryne. This setup made more sense when opener "Strange Overtones," a track off the new album, unfolded and dancers Lily Baldwin, Natalie Kuhn and Steven Reker appeared, also in all-white, and engaged Byrne throughout the rest of the performance in interpretive dance of the highest form. In fact, for a large part of the evening, the show was more theatrical than most concerts, performed with utmost precision and a delivery that is only achievable with a seasoned and top-flight ensemble of artists. Lighting was minimal, focused and directly complimentary to the placement and bareness of the stage presentation.
Even early on, when the focus was mostly on new material, the crowd was very engaged, and showed so much support that after "Houses in Motion" Byrne quipped, "Wow, I should think about moving the band to out here." Much of the remaining main set seamed like a time warp to early '80s Heads, with fans of Stop Making Sense lapping up hit after hit. And when the band came on for the first two-song encore, I was expecting the show - despite being early - was over.
It may be that this evening marked the last night of the successful U.S. tour and Byrne was looking at a nice break before heading to Europe or perhaps it was the relentless energy the crowd showed, grabbing and throwing balloons around, but Byrne came hustling back to the stage and motioned his tech to return his microphone (which they had already removed). He treated the audience to an acoustic rendition of Everything that Happens's title track. The sound was crisp and the repeating lines of the chorus were left ringing in my head: "Everything that happens will happen today/ Every tomorrow will be yesterday." I think I know what he means, and feel good that I was there to learn it from him.

"I've had to in a pinch fabricate unilaterals for a local clinic that provides same day service. Having the JP90 gives me the ability to quickly turn them in time. "
~ Elvis Rosado
"Ever since...See more I have the JP90, my work has been faster considering that I can finish unilaterals and repairs in less than 2 hours. This unilateral (image on right) was fabricated in 1 hour and 40 minutes from start to finish."
~ Marco Macias
"I like the ease of fabricating unilaterals with the JP90. It saves me time and I can now offer faster delivery therefore my doctors are satisfied. JP90 does not get dirty, it easy to use and maintain. A tip for JP90 users is to leave the wax smooth and clean before injecting."

It happens around this time every year -- some company that makes its money from security computers claims that next year will finally be the year the Mac goes under attack from virus programmers. This year it's McAfee, who are claiming in a report that due to the popularity of iOS devices, Apple will become a "prime target" for hackers and virii in 2011. As you might expect from a company that sells anti-virus software, McAfee claims that its research shows "threats of data and identity exposure will become more pronounced," especially on the Mac. Go figure.
That's not to say that you shouldn't be careful about your computer -- always stay away from sketchy websites and browse as securely as you can, always use secure passwords, and always keep your Mac up to date with the latest patches and fixes, just in case. I'm not even saying that all anti-virus software is a waste of money -- there are some good worthwhile solutions out there if you feel they're necessary. But the anti-virus folks have been predicting Macs will finally get threatened for years now, and Apple's platform is still much more secure than most others.

IEEE Starts Standard to Define Properties of Carbon Nanotubes Used in Bulk Materials
To resolve this situation, the IEEE has begun work on IEEE P1690(TM), "Standard Methods for the Characterization of Carbon Nanotubes Used as Additives in Bulk Materials". When completed, it will be the first standard to define methods for testing these additives and how to report the resulting performance data.
"This standard should aid the acceptance and diffusion of carbon nanotube technology"
"This standard should aid the acceptance and diffusion of carbon nanotube technology," says Krishna Kalyanasundaram, Chair of the Carbon Nanotube Characterization Working Group. "It will help nanotube producers characterize purity, dispersion and other properties and also give end users confidence in evaluating carbon nanotubes from different sources. IEEE P1690 will apply to nanotubes independent of how they were fabricated."
The standard will recommend instruments and procedures for validating nanotube purity, concentration, dispersion rate, agglomeration and other properties. In the area of purity, for instance, it will address the presence of non-carbon substances, such as metal catalysts and carbon-like molecules. It will give material suppliers a structure for providing data and offer guidance on proper levels for dispersion and agglomeration, which affect nanotube dispersion shelf life.
"The P1690 Working Group has undertaken the task of developing a standard that will serve as the model for future nanoscale materials-related standards," says Dan Gamota, Chair of the IEEE Nanotechnology Council Standards Committee. "Krishna has the strong support of the IEEE Nanotechnology Council Standards Committee to lead this working group as it drafts one of the most critical standards along the nanotechnology value chain."
Anyone interested in joining the IEEE P1690 Working Group should contact Krishna Kalyanasundaram (email@example.com; 847-576-9596) or Daniel Gamota (firstname.lastname@example.com; 847-576-5084). The working group especially needs those with expertise in carbon nanotube metrology, manufacturing and characterization, high-volume manufacturing, and in-line testing. Information on the working group is available at: http://grouper.ieee.org/groups/1690/.
IEEE P1690 is sponsored by the IEEE Nanotechnology Council Standards Committee.

Wanted: Pictures of roleplayers in libraries
My friend JJ Lanza is working on a very cool semi-secret project, and he is asking around for pictures of roleplayers enjoying an RPG session in their local library.
And while I'm thinking of it, I wouldn't mind having a few as well, to put up on the Terra Libris page. If you have such a thing, please contact me. You can attach the pictures if you like, and I will send them along. Make sure to let me know where the picture was taken (city and state or country if outside the US), the name of the library, and what RPG is being played. If you like, you can also list the names of the players in the picture.
Thanks in advance, and keep an eye out for more on that semi-secret project!
Roleplaying in the Navy
I've heard stories before about the popularity of roleplaying games among those who serve in the military (particularly in the Navy), and I always love to hear more about it - especially the challenges that players go through to get a game together. Recently, two posts on RPG blogs covered this issue nicely.
Youseph Tanha at Stargazer's World interviewed his friend Lyle Vogtmann about the ins and outs of roleplaying on a US Navy ship:
Finding people to play with, and places to play was the most interesting aspect of playing on board ship. As always, DND players do tend to find each other one way or another. Despite the massive size of an aircraft carrier, finding places to play was the difficult part. We'd get chased out of berthing areas where people sleep in their off hours, playing in someone's work shop wouldn't work, as they were always manned with the current shift. For a while we played up in the mezzanine of the hangar deck where empty airplane fuel pods were stored (wish I would have taken pictures… we had to climb a ladder 4 stories or so, and doing so while carrying our bags/briefcases full of manuals/dice/character sheets. We looked like a geek Special Forces team moving to higher ground positions!)
(Read more here)
In response, Mike Meredith at Dice Monkey posts about his own experiences with gaming in the Navy:
When we first deployed, we didn't have anywhere to play. Finding a storage room three decks down from where we worked, we would sit on boxes of paper and roll dice into box lids, playing Kobolds Ate my Baby, as well as a few sessions of Ravenloft.

"Occult detective" speaks on the dangers of RPGs
Virginia's "occult detective," Don Rimer, will be hosting yet another training seminar on occult and ritual crimes that will include discussions on witchcraft, goth culture, death metal, and role-playing games, according to this item from delmarvanow.com:
ACCOMAC — The Virginia Gang Investors Association will host a training seminar April 30 on the subject of "Occult and Ritual crimes" at the Accomac Elks Club.
Rimer has held similar seminars before, and has made a name for himself as an "occult detective" from some high profile cases. One such case was that of Jon Bush, a Virginia air-conditioner repairman convicted for sexually abusing several teenage girls that he lured into a "vampire cult."
(For more on Don Rimer, see the links at the end of this post.)
It's probably a safe bet that the recent popularity of the Twilight books and movies and the accompanying interest in vampire literature and lore have motivated Rimer to cash in and spread some fresh paranoia around like so much fertilizer. This will likely be another exercise in confusion between causation and correlation, which is exactly the opposite of what a crime detective should be teaching (and practicing).
One of the commenters says it best:
Don Rimer cases are high profile, primarily due to the controversy of having a demonstrated charlatan like Don Rimer talking to law-enforcement agents under the guise of someone with expertise.
If you happen to be in the Accomac, Virginia area, consider contacting your local law enforcement station and see if they plan to attend. (Or even better - see if you can get into the seminar and take lots of notes!)
(Thanks to Shanya for the link.)

The Wimpy Kid plays an RPG
JJ Lanza pointed me to this post at Grognardia a while ago, about the second book in the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series. In it Greg (the titular "wimpy kid") is invited by his best friend's babysitter to try out a roleplaying game called "Magick and Monsters."
I wanted to get a copy of the book to review myself, but as it turns out, none of my local libraries have it on the shelf - every copy has been checked out, which may be because the movie adaptation of the first book in the series recently hit theaters.
But from Grognardia's review, it seems that the story is very gaming-positive - Greg soon becomes a fan of the game, and wants to play more and more. It even addresses parental concerns with the content of the game, when Greg's mother decides to sit in on a session to learn what it's all about.
So, there's a popular kid's book in bookstores and libraries right now that is giving a positive example of the roleplaying hobby, suggesting that it might be something fun to try, and even giving steps to take if your parents have concerns about it. And I can't even find it in any of my local libraries.
That makes your friend and narrator very happy.
My only concerns are the use of the "k" version of "Magick" and the name "Rowley" (one letter away from "Crowley"), which someone will eventually use as "evidence" that this book is attempting to teach kids about the occult.
I know, it sounds paranoid, but you get like that, after a while.
RPGs as a Saving Throw vs. Life
Nearly a year ago, I made a post titled D&D as a Saving Throw vs. Life, in which I shared a letter from an Escapist reader who told us how his roleplaying group turned out to be a very positive force in his life (and the lives of the rest of the group as well).
Recently, Tyler from Held Action sent me a link to an RPGnet thread on the same subject, in which a fellow named Juan sends an instant message to Bill Coffin from Palladium to tell him how his games helped keep him out of some very serious trouble.
You will often hear jokes about gamers not having lives. Sometimes they're self-mockery, made by the gamers themselves. Other times, they're made by people who really don't understand how social and beneficial the activity really is.
If you have an anecdote on how RPGs kept you out of trouble or helped you during a rough part of life, why not share it?
The Quixotist is back!
My personal roleplaying blog, The Contemporary Quixotist, is back up!
Where the Escapist blog covers roleplaying advocacy in all of its forms, this one is where I write about my personal roleplaying experiences - the games I'm playing, the games I WANT to play, various random items that might be inspirational for plots or worlds, and that sort of thing.

The Examiner examines the Escapist
Michael Tresca at the RPG Examiner asked me a few questions about myself and this nutty website thing that I do, and I answered them. Check it out!
Interview with W.J. Walton, author of the The Escapist web site
Email from a reader, and why this site is here
Every now and then I will get an email from someone that reminds me why the efforts here - not only mine, but those of all of us - are so important. Yesterday, I received another one of those emails, and the author gave me permission to post it here, with the name and email address removed.
Hello. I found your website today and spent a good deal of time reading some of your articles. I just wanted to say that I very much appreciate what you're doing for the RPG community. We have a pretty decent sized role-playing club at my college, which I am a member of, and I enjoy it very much. I have made lots of friends and learned valuable lessons from being introduced to this community, and it is a shame how many misconceptions and outright lies there are surrounding it.
This is the end product of ignorance, misinformation, and fear - someone who has to hide a harmless and entertaining pasttime from their family.
This is why this site, and the CAR-PGa, exist.

New "Clash of the Titans" writers are roleplayers
Looks like we can add Phil Hay and Matt Manfredi, the writers of the upcoming Clash of the Titans remake, to the list of famous roleplayers, thanks to this interview on io9. In fact, Hay attributes his D&D playing to eventually becoming a screenwriter:
io9: You guys were executive producers on the documentary Dungeonmasters, about D&D players. Were you D&D fans? Did that influence you at all as writers?

Vintage anti-D&D propaganda: "Coveted" Clerics and the unusual tale of Rebecca Brown
An Escapist reader named Sven pointed out a classic bit of anti-D&D propaganda that I was completely unaware of, and the story behind it is pretty disturbing. So natually, I cannot help but share it.
In a book titled Prepare For War published by Chick Publications in 1987, author Rebecca Brown outlined many activities that brought the danger of "opening doors" inside of participants that could permit demons to enter through - activities such as yoga, martial arts, and playing fantasy role-playing games. RPGs, Brown claimed, are particularly dangerous as they serve to act as a "remote control" that the Horned One can use any time he needs to:
One of Satan's biggest tools in our country today is the occultic role-playing fantasy games, which have become so popular. Satan is using these games to produce a vast army of the most intelligent young people in this country; an army that the Anti-Christ will be able to tap into and control in an instant. Through their involvement in these games, people can be controlled demonically without ever realizing what is happening"
Brown goes on to explain that what roleplayers think they are visualizing in their heads is really a vision of what is happening in the spirit world. She even uses a quote from the Bible to discourage anyone from using their imagination for any sort of recreation - an interesting point that I will return to in a moment.
Not unlike Pat Pulling, Brown gives the impression of being something of an expert on RPGs and how they are played - and like Pulling, it doesn't take a long time to find a statement of hers that proves that the exact opposite is true:
One of the most coveted roles in these games is that of a cleric.
I actually chuckled out loud when I read this. Not only is it silly to suggest that any role in an RPG is "coveted" (most people choose what they want to play and simply play it), but the cleric was often the least popular character type in classic Dungeons & Dragons, where many players saw them as nothing more than healing machines. In most of the D&D games I played, clerics were usually NPCs (non-player characters controlled by the Dungeon Master), because the rest of us wanted to enjoy playing fighters or wizards.
It wasn't only my group that had this attitude, either. Consider this humorous ad from 1999 for the RPGA, the Role-Playing Games Association (an RPG enthusiast club organized by many of the people who created Dungeons & Dragons):
"Coveted" clerics, indeed...
Brown then shares the story of a 16-year-old boy who "admitted to being an 80th degree cleric in a role-playing game." We're not given his real name, which is to be expected in stories like this one, but we are told that the boy feels as if he will anger "his" deity (and not his character's) if he "disobey(s) the rules of the game" by leaving his current game and starting a new group with himself as the "game leader." He even suggests that a friend's suicide may have been the result of just such a schism.
To those of us who are familiar with RPGs, this is a very ridiculous notion, but for the benefit of those who aren't: there are no "rules" about staying with a group or leaving to start your own group, any more than there are hard and fast rules about who gets to be the banker in Monopoly (with extreme penalties if the rules are broken). Not only that, but many groups frequently switch Dungeon Masters (or Game Masters, or even "game leaders") to keep the games interesting, and provide an opportunity to anyone who wants one.
And no one playing in a roleplaying game serves any of the imaginary deities in the game. Their characters don't even have to, if they wish. And they certainly don't have to worry about the make-believe deities in an RPG rulebook enacting some divine retribution against them if they don't.
For someone so uncomfortable with the use of the imagination, Brown's own is quite active, and here is where the story gets pretty frightening.
In 1980, while working at Ball Memorial Hospital, she met Elaine, a mentally unstable woman who would become the source of many of the claims made in Brown's books. Elaine suffered from delusions that she was a Satanic High Priestess, married in a church ceremony to Satan himself, and who had been given a mission to kill a doctor who was making things difficult for the powers of evil - namely, Rebecca Brown. The demons that Elaine sent the doctor's way all came back empty handed due to some powerful zone of protection, and that turned Elaine into a Christian.
Satan, angry that his new bride wasn't doing his bidding, made her ill and sent her to the hospital where Dr. Brown was employed. Brown diagnosed her as being infested with demons, and received a special message from God to let Elaine move in with her. Later, God sent an angel with a glowing sword to kill Elaine for not agreeing to a covenant with him, but Brown pleaded with the angel to tell God to let his wrath fall on her instead. God agreed, spared Elaine's life, and they became roommates. Once all of Elaine's demons were exorcised, the two of them began a deliverance ministry to rid everyone of their inhabited demons - starting with the doctors and nurses at Ball Memorial Hospital, who were making all of the patients sick instead of well.
There's more. So much, much more, and it's a depressing tale of two deeply disturbed people who fed off of each other's delusions. But I've already gone on much longer that I had originally intended.
Eventually, Brown lost her medical license for her bizarre behavior. From Wikipedia:
In 1984, Brown's medical license was revoked by the issuing state of Indiana. The licensing board ruled that on numerous occasions she had "knowingly and intentionally misdiagnosed her patients", blaming their illnesses on "demons, devils, and evil spirits." A board-appointed psychiatrist diagnosed her as suffering from "acute personality disorders including demonic delusions and/or paranoid schizophrenia" and observed her injecting herself with unknown substances. The board also found that she had over-medicated her patients and administered improper treatments, as well as failed to properly document their treatment.
Some time after that, Brown and Elaine eventually parted ways, and Elaine died in 2005.
During their adventures, Brown and Elaine gained a small amount of notoriety - together they recorded two cassettes (Closet Witches 1 & 2) and published three books (including the aforementioned Prepare For War) for Chick Publications, the same people who brought us the Dark Dungeons tract and anti-game testimonies from William Schnoebelen. They even managed to make an appearance on the Geraldo Rivera show in 1987.
Though Brown is no longer doing business with Chick Publications, Jack Chick still defends the claims made in her tapes and books to this day. She married in 1989, and maintains a ministry with her husband, complete with a website where she offers advice on removing "unclean" objects from your home to eliminate demonic habitation. Her books, including Prepare For War, are still available through Whitaker House Publishing, which continues to refer to her as "Dr.," despite her loss of license. Even more disturbing is this blurb from their website, which suggests that her books are being used for police training, and that doctors and lawyers seek her out for advice:
They have been translated into over twelve languages and are used worldwide as teaching tools in churches and ministries. Her counsel is often sought by pastors, doctors and lawyers. In addition, her books are utilized by various U.S. law enforcement officials as part of their training programs for dealing with the occult.
Brown's delusions and dangerous behavior were and continue to be more fuel for the type of paranoia that is damaging to much more than simple pasttimes like roleplaying games, yoga, or rock music - they have and will continue to ruin lives.

Positive D&D article from Houma Today
Louisiana's Houma Today published a positive article on Dungeons & Dragons that covers a lot of ground - the popularity of the new edition, the grognards who continue to play older editions, the benefits of playing the game, and even a brief mention of its troubled past:
Ottinger refers to D&D as "theater sitting down," which she says makes the lingering misconception that the game is secretly evil or satanic all the more confounding.

Kids Need To Game - game donations for Danish students
Brian Pedersen is a teacher from Denmark who uses RPGs to help his students learn English, as well as other skills. Recently, he has undertaken an exciting new project, and he could use our help. I'll let him tell the story in his own words:
As a teacher for many years, I have been able to use RPGs and wargames to not only assist me in teaching the English language, but to sharpen math skills, teamwork and abstract thinking. As such, it was a natural progression for me to seek out and to obtain permission to "take over" a section of the school library as a gamers corner. Our students do not even have to belong to a school club - they can simply loan out the materials like they would any other book. This is a first here, and something that I am very excited about.
Brian is looking for roleplaying material, as well as dice, card games, board games, and war games. He will gladly accept used and damaged (but still playable) games. Check his website for more on what he can (and can't) use, and how you can get it to him. (Keep in mind that if you do donate, you will have to ship the items to Denmark, and cover the shipping costs.)
If you have some used RPG material that you'd like to donate - or know someone who does - please consider contributing!

no one can convince me she's younger than 40.
Those two are married now, so I think the "mom" can stop chaperoning.
This stupid cooze of a mother has the nerve to wear a cross around her neck after the lies she perpetuates ? That woman has been through menopause … as in late 40's/early 50's … daughter is waaay older than 17, but I think everyone knows what a lying ho-bag she is by now, right ?
ya think??? SHHH, don't Tell Doug! LOL
He's obviously retarded to be going along with all this horseshit.

I just opened a boarding facility (2.5 months ago) and 3 of the 10 horses are my own. They were wormed every 8-10 weeks with alternating wormers. Now there are 10 horses in 3 pastures ranging in (2.5-4 acres). I recently wormed them with Safeguard and then did the test 2.5 weeks later. One of the other boarder horses we tested were wormed 2 months ago and he tested the same.
I think you miss understood. I was thinking about the weekly alternating wormer for a month and then back on the regular 8-10 week schedule instead of the 5 day powerpak. I was just wondering if that would work just as well and/ or be safer and also catch any flares of encysted strongyles.

Welcome to the Center for Sacred Studies
The Center for Sacred Studies is dedicated to sustaining ways of life based on collaboration and reciprocity with the Earth and all Her beings.
The seeds of the Center for Sacred Studies were first planted in 1995 in our intentional community, Kayumari. We joined together at that time to live together, to raise our children, to create a safe place for prayer while nurturing our relation to the Divine and to this wondrous creation.
Our non-profit root, the Center for Sacred Studies, took hold in 2001 to protect our ways of prayer. This created a collaboration with the Global Community to serve our Earth-Based Initiatives, to honor our ceremonies in our Sanctuary, and to inspire with our Global University through our Ministry and Educational programs.
We continue, through the decades, to unite with people in many countries around the world growing our prayer for the next seven generations!
The Center for Sacred Studies – a time of contemplation, a sabbatical year.
Dear Community,
CSS has begun a tradition of taking a year of contemplation, a sabbatical, every seven years to listen to Spirit. This time of stillness and regeneration is inspired by traditions in many different cultures:
- • The Permaculture principle of Caring for the Earth, resting the land and "growing the soil."
- • The Bible speaks that in the 7th year "the fields lie fallow."
- • The Jewish tradition honors Shemitah, every 7 years is a holy year. Concentration is on the spiritual mission in life, and less on material pursuits. November 2014 started the beginning of this sacred temple in time, a period of stillness, wholeness and completion, which energizes the period of creativity that follows.
To honor this time of contemplation, CSS will be taking a year off of our Global University Programs, taking time to review and listen to how Spirit is directing us and what Creation is dreaming for us next.
Through these times, our community continues to be global and strong! We have over 184 ministers worldwide; full levels of classes and prayer in our Czech Republic community; and community outreach locations in New York, Cleveland, East Coast and West Coast! Our prayer and work continues through our Earth Initiatives with our Fountain Project, including the Unity Concert & Black Hills Initiatives; our collaboration with Fukushima Solutions, Camp for Peace in Liberia & Turtle Women Rising; and through our Sacred Sites and Sanctuary. We continue to move forward with our dedication to sustaining ways of life based on collaboration and reciprocity for the Earth and all Her beings!
We thank you for your dedicated service to this mission.
We invite you to discover what is whispered in the stillness.
Take an in breath with us!
Darlene Hunter
