I've never won anything in my life so hoping this is the first.
What a lovely bundle to upgrade to :)
would love to hear how this sounds
This would make a great christmas present. :)
Heard so many great things about the Dragonfly USB DAC ... incredible how a device that small can deliver such great sound!
I would love to use this with my set up. Fingers crossed!
But I'm posting this anyway :|
Im going to need this for my travels.
Would be great to win! Heard nothing but good things about this product.
I have heard great things about the dragonfly and it would be great to win it .
I read about this in my subscription... Please pick me!!! My Marantz, Martin Logan's and myself would love you for it!!!!!!!
Wondering how good Sidney Interconnect can improve my experience with my iPod & sound system.
I would love to win one of these. I just lost my job with Hostess because they are going to liquidate all of their assets and cannot afford to buy a Dragonfly right now. I tried a NuForce wireless DAC and was not happy with it so I would like to try one of these.
love the built in headphone jack
It would be nice to finally have great computer sound. Please let it be me!
I am very interested in trying this DAC.
I'd enjoy having this, hope I win.
Can't wait to hear you, fly my pretty!
Need a couple of these. one for me one for the better half!
I'd absolutely love to have a DragonFly to use with my Open Pandora handheld. My headphones are very DAC-dependant and the Sabre chip will definitely make them shine better than any other portable device ever could!
I would be so thankful to win this!
Perfect addition to our iMac and MacBook Retina!
this would be amazing to have.
I hope I am the lucky one!!!
Thanks for the chance!! So exciting!
KK Wong
This DAC is sweet. If I win I'll put it to good use!
For the pice I paid for this Mac Book, you'd think it would have a decent DAC.
I really need one of these, thank you.
This would be alot better than my cheap $30 sound card..

Graph Use Cases
Storage Use Cases
Organizing Information
When storing RDF information in a graph store, we would like to organize related information into separate graphs. Each graph must be identified with a URI to facilitate retrieval.
Slicing datasets according to multiple dimensions
Within the BBC, we want to slice large RDF datasets according to multiple dimensions: statements about individual programmes, access control, 'ownership' of the data (what product owns/maintains what set of triples), versioning, etc. All those graphs are potentially overlapping or contained within each other. Those issues are very common in large organisations using a single, centralised, triple store.
Another purpose in storing RDF content in different graphs is to enforce a permissions model so that sensitive information is not accessed by unauthorized users.
Graph Changes Over Time
When storing graph information retrieved from a URL external to an application, it becomes important to store snapshots of the location over time. When these graph snapshots are taken, it is useful to annotate each snapshot with information such as retrieval time, HTTP Headers used, HTTP Response returned, and other such items that may have affected the contents of the graph snapshot.
Here is a quick JSON-LD (assuming g-snap support) example showing two graph snapshots. The home page changes between the two snapshots:
{ "@": { "a": "<foaf:Person>", "foaf:name": "Manu Sporny", "foaf:homepage": "<http://linkedin.com/in/manusporny>" } "dc:date": "2010-04-18T01:24Z" }
{ "@": { "a": "<foaf:Person>", "foaf:name": "Manu Sporny", "foaf:homepage": "<http://manu.sporny.org/>" } "dc:date": "2011-02-01T18:32Z" }
A more complex example involves supporting decentralized product listings via PaySwarm. That is, in PaySwarm products for sale (access to particular post in a blog, or a particular Web App) are expressed in a decentralized manner on a website. The expression of what is for sale is encapsulated in a graph of information about the asset for sale, pricing information and licensing information that is associated with the sale. The combination of this information is effectively an offer of sale:
{ "@": "http://wordpress.payswarm.dev/?p=65#listing", "a": ["gr:Offering", "ps:Listing"], "com:payee": [{ "@": "http://wordpress.payswarm.dev/?p=65#listing-payee", "a": "com:Payee", "com:currency": "USD", "com:destination": "https://payswarm.com/i/johnsmith/accounts/1", "com:rate": "0.05", "com:rateType": "<com:FlatAmount>", "rdfs:comment": "Payment for Intro Blog Article by John Smith." }], "com:payeeRule": [{ "a": "com:PayeeRule", "com:destinationOwnerType": "<ps:Authority>", "com:maximumRate": "10", "com:rateType": "<com:InclusivePercentage>" }], "ps:assetHash": "905ab5980931053792fc63e40fb4afd0a2f55e02", "ps:forAsset": "http://wordpress.payswarm.dev/?p=65#asset", "ps:license": "http://payswarm.com/licenses/blogging", "ps:licenseHash": "0d8866836917f8ef58af44accb6efab9a10610ad", "ps:validFrom": "2011-02-26T00:00:00+0000^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#dateTime>", "ps:validUntil": "2011-02-27T00:00:00+0000^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#dateTime>", "ps:signature": { "a": "ps:JsonldSignature", "dc:created": "2011-02-26T00:00:00Z^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#dateTime>", "dc:creator": "https://payswarm.com/i/johnsmith/keys/4", "ps:signatureValue": "hluj7gTcjGOhxAfTmr04DXZNYwErXKcNBWqwYnjZCxAPlkl7EUl6L7aS0xENmGe3n3VZebWq9mnPH/mv05tzxUYOi6/ssZG+WFNUXFWRA9u+2AdJL5b07U9s51j3tKG6CRB5wGN6w3MPvgM0TspM+VUGHwsR9ePAfpCuFql9zH4=" } }
Note the "ps:validFrom" and "ps:vaildUntil" dates - that information changes once a day. Since that information in the graph changes, the signatures on the graph change as well. Because of the daily changes, it is important that one is able to track snapshots of this graph as it changes from day to day. Storing this data in a graph store is particularly challenging w/o the fundamental concept of a graph snapshot (Graph Literal).
Trace inferences and their results
Using identifying graphs that where consumed and produced by an inference one can can trace the inferences that enriched a triple store to undo some reasoning for instance when the store is updated.
:G1 { :Tom ex:manage :ACompany } :G2 { :Tom rdf:type ex:Manager } :G2 ex:deducedFrom :G1
Query Use Cases
While query services are not explicitly addressed in the RDF spec, SPARQL does make use of graph IRIs and we should ensure that the semantics of graph identifiers are compatible with the way in which RDF datasets are defined by SPARQL.
Find Information In a Graph
When a query service processes a query containing a graph identifier, it must resolve the graph identifier to some collection of materialized RDF content that will be returned in the result set.
Computed Graphs
Often, graphs exposed by a query service are not present in any sort of physical storage, but rather their contents are computed at query time. Examples include:
- A federated query service may define a graph URI to be the union of graphs accessible through other query services.
- A service that does RDB to RDF mapping via R2RML may dynamically compute RDF results based on SQL results at query time.
Graph URIs as Locations
In the situation where a query service is presented with a graph identifier that is not present in local storage, the query service may wish to resolve the graph URI as a URL and make a request to that URL (possibly with conneg) for a document that serializes the content of that graph.
Provenance Use Cases
Digital Signatures on Graphs
There are a number of ways to create digital signatures on RDF graphs. Often, you do not want to co-mingle the signature information and the graph. Co-mingling signature information in a graph requires the software to use an algorithm to clean the graph in order to generate the signature hash for verification purposes. It also means that it becomes very difficult to sign a graph containing a digital signature at the top-most level. In order to express a digital signature on a graph of information, the idea of a Graph Literal becomes useful. Take the following as an example of a JSON-LD graph that we would like to digitally sign:
{ "a": "<foaf:Person>", "foaf:name": "Manu Sporny", "foaf:homepage": "<http://manu.sporny.org/>" }
One could sign the graph above by adding a few triples to the graph:
{ "a": "<foaf:Person>", "foaf:name": "Manu Sporny", "foaf:homepage": "<http://manu.sporny.org/>", "sig:signature: { "a": "<sig:JsonldSignature>", "sig:signer": "<http://manu.sporny.org/webid#key-5>", "sig:signatureValue": "OGQzNGVkMzVmMmQ3ODIyOWM32MzQzNmExMgoYzI4ZDY3NjI4NTIyZTk=" } }
However, nobody else could sign that graph without introducing ambiguity as to who signed the graph first. That is, the second signer couldn't sign the initial signer's signature. Therefore, having the concept of a graph snapshot which can be annotated in the same way that triples are annotated becomes very useful. The first signature could be performed like so:
{ "@": { "a": "<foaf:Person>", "foaf:name": "Manu Sporny", "foaf:homepage": "<http://manu.sporny.org/>" }, "sig:signature: { "a": "<sig:JsonldSignature>", "sig:signer": "<http://manu.sporny.org/webid#key-5>", "sig:signatureValue": "OGQzNGVkMzVmMmQ3ODIyOWM32MzQzNmExMgoYzI4ZDY3NjI4NTIyZTk=" } }
The example above separates the signature from the data that is being signed, which is good design. The second signature could be performed like so:
{ "@": { "@": { "a": "<foaf:Person>", "foaf:name": "Manu Sporny", "foaf:homepage": "<http://manu.sporny.org/>" }, "sig:signature: { "a": "<sig:JsonldSignature>", "sig:signer": "<http://manu.sporny.org/webid#key-5>", "sig:signatureValue": "OGQzNGVkMzVmMmQ3ODIyOWM32MzQzNmExMgoYzI4ZDY3NjI4NTIyZTk=" } "dc:date": "2011-02-26T22:18Z" }, "sig:signature: { "a": "<sig:JsonldSignature>", "sig:signer": "<http://authority.payswarm.com/webid#key-873>", "sig:signatureValue": "kMzVmMVDIyOWM32MzI4ZDY3NjI4mQ3OOGQzNGNTIyZTkQzNmExMgoYz=" } }
Note that a "dc:date" has been associated with the initial signed graph. Using this technique, one could verify that:
- The initial graph was signed by a primary author.
- The initial graph w/ signature was annotated and signed by a secondary author.
This is useful when dealing with web-of-trust issues such as trusting graphs which have been cached by third parties. This happens when product listings are cached by companies like Google and then proxied by 3rd parties. You want to ensure that the initial product listing is valid per the asset owner, and that the state of the cache has been verified by Google. This prevents a nefarious proxy of meddling with the information that will be used to perform a financial transaction.
Capture elements of the production context
A graph may be produced through a variety of means and in very different contexts. For instance it could be the result of some natural language processing or other extractions techniques. An identified graph may be linked to the context in which it was produced (source, properties, etc.)
:G1 { http://dbpedia.org/page/Antibes geo:lat 43.580833 ; geo:long 7.123889 . } :G1 ex:extractedFrom http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antibes
Separate Ontology Use Case
This use case is derived from a proposal to have OWL annotations that can be collected together into a separate ontology (and that might even be able to affect the main ontology). The proposal itself can be seen at http://www.w3.org/2007/OWL/wiki/Annotation_System however this "use case" is somewhat of a modification of the suggestions in the proposal.
The basic need is to be able to generate multiple ontologies from a single OWL document. One ontology is the ontology that corresponds to the main information in the document. The other ontology (or ontologies) would sit alongside the main ontology. These secondary ontologies might be used to store and reason about things like provenance or certainty.
Aside from the ability to have multiple ontologies be generated from a single document, there is the need to be able to have syntactic entities in the main document show up as semantic entities in the secondary ontologies. Note that this does *not* directly require reflection, as the syntactic entities don't have their semantic import in the secondary ontologies. Any semantic relationship between the main ontology and secondary ontologies is mediated by relationships outside the formalism semantics, again so that there is no need for reflection or reification or ....
So far this is about (OWL) ontologies, not graphs, but it can be turned into a use case for referenceable graphs either by replacing OWL ontologies by RDF graphs or by considering RDF graph naming as the syntactic mechanism for separate ontologies in the RDF encoding of OWL.

47 Ronin Off To A Slow Start At The Japanese Box Office
Unfortunately, it doesnt look like Carl Rinschs Japanese historical fantasy 47 Ronin will be adding much to that total, at least not in Japan, where the film took in a mere $1.3 million from its premiere. On the one hand, you think it would be a major project there since its based on a Japanese legend, but on the other hand, its a completely ludicrous take on the legend which probably didnt appease everyone they intended.

Metamorphosis like this one is what draws me to baking. Such a simple, unassuming looking thing before it goes into the oven, and then boom… the most incredible result!
I used aluminum cups (not glass) and had a hard time unmolding them, except the ones that had less batter and consequently didn´t rise as much, those popped out easily. I buttered them the first time, double buttered them the second time and used vegetable spray the third time. I have to admit the spray was the winner. That and no more than 1/3 of the cup full of batter.

That would be so awesome! We could be making globes
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I found one topic on this, but it's from a couple years ago and decided to start a new one...
I've been looking into 3D printing a lot lately, seeing as the machines are coming down in price so much they are affordable by the average person (albeit with a bit of saving). I read an article about a guy who was recreating (from scratch) the models to a lot of Games Workshops figurines - no doubt the legal implications of that are going to be a headache for the companies involved.
More pertinent to this forum, though, it has some pretty awesome implications for mapmakers and modelers of terrain, as well as board game aficionados. I wonder if we'll see a part of the 3D forum given over to 3D printer files in the future?
What I wouldn't give for the money to buy one of these things!

probably easier to do when you're older.. wait another decade for what comes next.
not so much being a curmudgeon as experience.. printing devices *are* the first and foremost instrument of the devil. this has been said for centuries and one needed only own a few of the first generations of printers to know it.

There are some 3d printed maps out there.*
My school had a 3d printer and one of the teachers complained about the high cost of the print material. Unfortunately, it operates rather unreliably, stopping in the middle of print jobs, and generally not working. We got a larger model, but it wasn't installed before the summer break started, hopefully I'll get to try it out when school starts back up.
3d printers require a 3d model to print. A standard file format is stl. I found a height map to stl converter on thingverse. It is a free, open source java app called heightmap2stl.jar
The instructions are a bit nonexistent, but I managed to convert an elevation map exported from Dwarf Fortress to stl. The file ended up being 1.7GB and my laptop is unable to do anything with it.
I tried again with a smaller map and got a more reasonable sized file, which I checked in Blender, nice little 3d image of the map. I don't know how to do anything in Blender, so I took a screen shot.
The original height map.
The stl in Blender.
It obviously didn't work with the blue water.

We have had 3D globes being made on here in the past. This one I recall was very successful.
We also had some posts about the pneumatic 3D terrain tables by Grumman or similar which look well cool.
I can machine 3D terrain in 2D but I have only tried it once. It worked well but it takes ages and ages to do it with a fine cutter. Not sure what its like to make one with a 3D printer tho.
Personally I think it would be possible and easier to harden up one of those exercise balls with resin and then use some kind of plaster, fiberglass, car body filler or epoxy putty on top to make a globe.

Nice job guys, this sounds like a challenging challenge indeed, and there were some great entries.
This month's challenge may have been a bit too daunting, there were 6 starts and 4 finishers (although Gen's entry was unfinished I've posted it up as a choice as it looks good and deserves some rep!).
We leave it to the voters to decide for themselves whether the entries fulfil the spirit of the subject challenge, which this month was:
Some beautiful looking entries were submitted. So please give rep to all those entries you feel are deserving.You need to draw at least two maps, (displayed as a single composite image)* one before an event (or series of events) and one after. Everything else is up to you.
Nice job guys, this sounds like a challenging challenge indeed, and there were some great entries.
I'm going to say that for me Cataclysmo does the better job of portraying a distinct difference, as opposed to Ubar. While as a single map the before Ubar is great, the after looks more like fog-shrouded than decrepit and crumbling. Well, other than the gaping djinn-hole. If the story had it eerily preserved, blanketed by a mist (sorry - perpetual sandstorm?) or mysteriously out of phase with reality I'd buy the after look better. While dim, all the elements still look intact.
With Cataclysmo, I can easily imagine the forces out of control. If I suspend disbelief enough to accept low-temp lava, then boiling seas that don't cool from currents is OK too :-). In any case, the colors and texture do a grand job of portraying an angry island, done wrong by its unlamented rulers. A few lava encroachments on the built-up areas would've been even better... Though I guess the color of the New Settlements indicates blight welling up between city blocks.
Both Terra Incognita and Blackwater would've been contenders for me, if more completed. I hope both of you polish them off! LindaJeanne, about all you'd need is a bunch of labelling to tell a story between the two main maps. And gen, a simple un-ruined capital on a similar second version would've sufficed -- you've got an effective look going there. I like the crumbling pile. Though I guess if you'd wanted a really cheap other-period you could have removed the ruins altogether and shown an unbroken swath of forest - call it a couple of hundred years even further along :-).
I guess a lot of folks are busy this month? Really the theme needn't have been daunting - I have done before/after kind of portrayals with 60-80 % of the base mapping staying the same.
Thanks for the comments! I was also a little disappointed in the Ubar after picture for the same reason. I think what annoyed me the most about it though was that it was largely a technical error that results from the fact that I have only been using photoshop for the last 2 months (though i've learned an impressive amount in that time thanks to the wonderful tutorials on this site). So, I was originally at a complete loss at how to depict a sand covered ruin. In arriving at the final product, I merged all of the different building layers (i.e. 1st floor, 2nd floor, 3rd floor) so I could more easily see how subtle changes in effects altered the image. I only realized much later that if I had kept them distinct, I would have been able to do a lot more manipulation (i.e. It became exceedingly difficult and time consuming to try to make subtle height differences between the floors once they were all on one layer).
So...the lite challenge served its purpose for me - I produced a map that I really like and I learned a lot in the process (especially to save a lot more versions of my map and keep layers separate if at all possible). I'm particularly grateful for all the helpful comments and criticisms along the way - and eagerly look forward to the next one.

The two that were in it for me were Terra Incognita and Lost city of Ubar, whilst Cataclysmo has the deeper story (and I do love a good story), for me the technical differences between the two maps other than seemingly a different hue, the map doesn't seem to have changed at all. I really like the maps for Terra Incognita, but unfortunately it was the lack of story here that let it it down a little and for me the information that was trying to be portrayed probably wasn't done as well as it could have been (I think given more time then this could have maybe done).
So my vote goes to Lost City of Ubar, whilst the second map feels more like a "ta da, it's gone!", I think the initial map was executed well and the story told me everything I need to know.
Good job to all!

Formerly "Yospeck"
Very very difficult to pick just one. I voted for 883 in the end. I thought Ubar was great but it's a town map and a greatly executed one. Terra Incognita was very nicely done with such smooth, clean lines and good colours (there's a typo on it though!). And the cataclysmo one showed a good contrast between before and after though it seemed a bit too "busy" in places. Blackwater was a great map but there was no before or after so I couldn't really judge it.
I liked the formal presentation-like style of 883 and how it told a sort of story. Great work as usual everyone!
Yeah, what text is on my map was added literally after my company had arrived, as I was rudely scrambling to finish up while my S.O. entertained our guest. So the story aspect never made it onto the map: either through the text (which is almost entirely absent) or through the maps themselves (which don't highlight the relevant differences properly -- it all blends together and the significant bits don't stand out).
But I learned a LOT while working on this. Spent a lot of time figuring out how to do various things, which is why I ran out of time .
For me, it was neck-and-neck between Ubar and the Bottle Nebula. I loved BlackWater, but since there was no before/after, I didn't think that I could fairly vote for it for the challenge. And I loved the Cataclysmo story, but like Yospec, I didn't really see the difference in the maps themselves, other than the ocean changing color.

That's the best thing about the challenges, they push you to learn stuff. I've not done many but the recent ones have taken me out of my comfort zone and I think that is something everyone benefits from even if you get no votes. I mentioned your typo because I seem to notice everyone else's more than my own (I noticed one on ashenbrook cave a few weeks after voting had ended... =P) and I seem to make many.
Bottle Nebula was an easy choice for me: Distinctive before and after (plus stages of after), enough story to explain the changes, well-executed, and a perfect reason to have a before and after map internal to the map itself.
Blackwater wasn't finished. Changes in Terra Incognita lacked any story (map-internally anyway, which is all I count when judging). Cataclysmo seemed like it was just the same map twice with a change of color. Lost City of Ubar was pretty good, and would be my runner-up, but lacks the neat internal logic of Bottle Nebula (why make a map of hole in the ground?) and was just overall less cool than engineering a nebula.
Congrats, anomiecoalition ! May the sands of time NOT engulf your other projects, and may you not tick off any malvolent djinni-types.

It is officially fall in the USA, and one of my favorite fall recipes is Apple slices with Caramel. Home made caramel is EASY, and very yummy.
1 stick of real butter
1 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup heavy whipping cream (or milk, but milk will make the caramel get harder)
2 TBSP light corn syrup
A dash of salt
Put everything into a saucepan. If you have one with a heavy bottom, that works best, but any will work. Turn the heat on medium. Stir it together with a wisk as the butter melts, but once the butter is completely melted stop stirring and just let it cook. It will bubble and look slightly foamy. Let it cook for 5-7 minutes. DO NOT STIR during that time. At all. It's hard to do, but don't do it. Use this time to get a glass bowl or some other non-plastic container for your extremely hot caramel. Your caramel will start to turn slightly darker, sometimes getting streaks of darker brown in it. Take it off of the heat and pour into the bowl or other container you got ready. DO NOT LET ANY OF THE CARAMEL TOUCH YOUR SKIN. I am not joking, it will blister you immediately. It is HOT. Give it a few minutes to cool off before you touch it, and even then use caution. It will stay pourable/dippable for about 20-30 minutes before setting up. Adding more cream to the recipe will lengthen this time, and 1/2 a cup of heavy cream will keep it soft.
This caramel is also fantastic for pouring over popcorn. If you want to get creative, add a little pumpkin spice to the mix as well.
YUM April!!
It looks like this thread has been abandoned for a long while...TOO long!!
If anyone is interested, I am a Pampered Chef Consultant-and I can do parties online (Facebook mostly) if anyone is interested.
But more importantly, I LOVE FOOD!! I mean-who doesn't??!!
I really love seeing recipes and ideas from people from all over the world, and would love to get this thread started again!

Detectives are trying to trace a man who went to the aid of a woman who is believed to have been assaulted in central Norwich on New Year's Day.
The incident is believed to have taken place in a silver car sometime between 6am and 7am in the area of St Faiths Lane and Cathedral Street.
The 30-year-old woman was inappropriately touched by an unknown man. As she attempted to struggle free a man, described as being white, aged in his 30s, with long brown hair in a ponytail and wearing a long leather jacket, went to her aid and she managed to flee the scene.
Officers are particularly keen to speak to the man as they believe he may have vital information. Witnesses are asked to call DC Carly Jermy at Norfolk Constabulary on 101.

About the Show
A group of international contestants agree to test their will to survive and their sanity in an unforgiving Siberian wilderness for the chance to win $500,000.
When 16 contestants from around the world are dropped off by helicopter in an ancient Siberian wilderness with only the clothes on their backs, they find themselves in an extreme survival adventure and social experiment with no rules or help from producers or the outside world. Leaders and followers emerge, and the contestants' survival is constantly being challenged in unexpected and literally life-threatening ways. Everything is on the line as they struggle against the elements - human and inhuman, natural and unnatural - in a place where misfortune abounds, and the fragile fabric of their new society is woven and torn apart from day to day. It is a study of humans under great stress who are relentlessly tested with sudden, frightening events and situations gone horribly wrong.
The cast features Joyce Giraud ("Tyler Perry's House of Payne," "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo"), Johnny Wactor ("Army Wives," "Vampire Diaries"), Esther Anderson ("Home and Away," "Breathless"), who is a Gold and Silver Nominee (Australia's equivalent to the Emmy), Miljan Milosevic ("Fellowship Offerings"), Irene Yee ("Necrobiosis," "To Be"), Berglind Icey ("Cha$e," "Cram"), Sam Dobbins ("Super Agent Sam Self"), Sabrina Akhmedova ("The Club," "Diversant"), Natalie Scheetz ("Madison County," "Seed 2"), Neeko O.J. Skervin, Victoria Hill, Anne-Marie Mueschke, Daniel Sutton, George Dickson, Tommy Mountain, Harpreet Turka and Jonathon Buckley (a radio personality on Clear Channel Entertainment and Media's KOST-FM 103 radio in Los Angeles, California).
Serving as executive producers are Michael Ohoven, CEO of Infinity Media and producer of "Capote," "Just Friends," "The Devil's Rejects" and many others; Chris Philip, CEO of Sierra-Engine and executive producer of "Rescue 3" and "Crusoe"; Slava N. Jakovleff, founder of Welldone Production, who directed "The Five Star" and is a writer, director and producer on many other films; and Executive Producer Doug McCallie, a producer on multiple seasons of "Survivor." "Siberia" was created by Executive Producer Matthew Arnold, who wrote the pilot and directed the first six episodes and season finale. Arnold and Ohoven also collaborated on the thriller "Shadow People," written and directed by Arnold and produced by Ohoven.

this wiki
Wowpedia is a new wiki, officially separate from WoWWiki as of October 20, 2010. It is not hosted by or in any way affiliated with Wikia, the company which hosts WoWWiki.
Due to irreconcilable differences with Wikia, some members of the WoWWiki community resolved in October 2010 that they would leave Wikia. Their preference at the time was to remove WoWWiki itself from the Wikia network, but this proved impossible due to reason contained within Wikia's Terms of Use[1]. Instead, a mirror site was set up, and Curse offered to host it.
Wowpedia's initial database contained a complete copy of articles from WoWWiki as of 18 October 2010. Editing on both sites since that time and edits made in the future will further differentiate these sites from one another.
There are a number of differences, some imperceptible to the lay user. The most obvious are that the sidebar is in its original place and it is not fixed width. Also, there were no ads on the wiki for the first two months of its creation, afterward having just a single banner ad at the top of every page. Many of the new 'social' features introduced by Wikia do not exist, such as achievements and avatars. Additionally, watchlists will remain private, which runs in contrast to Wikia's current stance.
The decision among WoWWiki's administrators was practically unanimous, minus Kirkburn (who is a Wikia staff member). Many members of the active user base (as well as some new faces!) transferred to Wowpedia within a week of Wowpedia opening. It should be noted that many members of WoWWiki also either stayed behind to continue on this site or resolved to contribute to both.
Some critics have noted that the new Wowpedia site has had trouble staying online at times. This is because the setup was rushed as they wanted to have it up in time for Wikia's forced switch to "Oasis" which was also just days before Blizzcon.
Reclaiming your user name
Wowpedia contains a tool to 'reclaim' one's user name. All that needs to be done is to click on the 'Register' button and tell it your user name. The site will then generate a code; you can enter this code in an edit summary on your WoWWiki user page to confirm your identity. No edits made prior to 18 Octoboer 2010 are lost, as the entire history up to that point (including your user page and any subpages) is intact.

Painting, Sculpture and Graphic Design on ExhibitThe Volunteer State Community College Thigpen Library Gallery will display the work of painter Yvonne Petkus and artist/graphic designer Matt Tullis in November and December. The unique pairing of commercial and fine art was selected for the pieces to complement one another, and demonstrate that in the exhibit one truly relies on the other. Petkus is assistant professor of art at Western Kentucky University.
"I believe in making as a means to further understanding or thought and am drawn to the physicality and psychology possible in skin and through spatial manipulation," said Petkus. "I work from a place of questioning, a desire to grasp an unknowable something."
Tullis is a sculptor, designer, and inventor. He also teaches as a professor of art at Western Kentucky University. He grew up in the Pacific Northwest and worked in a graphic design studios for ten years before deciding to teach full-time.
The exhibit will be on display from November 12 to December 13. The exhibit is free and open to the public from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday and closed on Sunday. The Thigpen Library is on the Vol State campus at 1480 Nashville Pike in Gallatin. Matt Tullis will hold a Gallery talk on December 4 at 1 p.m. For more information call 615-230-3201.

Our heritage
1931. In British colonial India, English cavalry officers regularly honed their skills by playing polo, a sport that appeared over two thousand years ago on the steppes of central Asia. The world's first team sport won the favour of princes and sultans, from Persia to Arabia and Tibet. Discovered by a British lieutenant in 1859, polo soon became an eminently English pastime. By the end of the 19th century, the Indian subcontinent already boasted 175 polo clubs. By the early 20th century, the lengthy reign of the pocket-watch was nearing its close. People were beginning to wear watches on their wrist, even when playing their favourite sport. In 1930, César de Trey travelled to India to meet some old friends. A close acquaintance of Jacques-David LeCoultre, this influential businessman had recently decided to devote himself to the distribution of high-end Swiss watch creations, including the famous Duoplan watch by Jaeger-LeCoultre. After a polo match, a player showed him his watch with its broken glass and begged him to create a model sturdy enough to be able to stand up to polo playing without being damaged. This was a daunting challenge, since all previous watchmaking inventions designed to protect the glass had sacrificed functionality on the altar of protection. Like all revolutionary achievements, the new watch was to be based on a simple idea that nobody had yet thought of, namely an entirely swivelling case. César de Trey entrusted its development to Alfred Chauvot, an engineer who immediately applied himself to the task and filed a patent request on March 4th 1931, describing "a watch able to slide in its cradle and swivel over completely". An informed connoisseur of fine watchmaking, César de Trey knew that the workshops run by Jacques-David LeCoultre had the expertise required to make high-quality movements and that they were the only ones to display such consistent inventiveness. The watchmakers of the Grande Maison in the Vallée de Joux thus took charge of producing the Reverso. And to distribute this unique creation, César de Trey and Jacques-David LeCoultre founded the Spécialités Horlogères sales company, soon afterwards renamed Jaeger-LeCoultre. Ever since, the ties between the legendary swivelling case and polo have remained ingrained in the very fibers of the Reverso, which has proved capable of constantly evolving and adapting to each new era. Today, Jaeger-LeCoultre is more closely linked to polo than ever, through regular sporting partnerships in a number of countries thanks to its internationally recognised ambassadors. Jaeger-LeCoultre ambassadors display their brilliant skills in the world's greatest competitions in Argentina, England and Spain.

Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses Expands Support to Small Business Lenders
On October 17, 2013, Goldman Sachs announced at the Opportunity Finance Network (OFN) Conference three initiatives to support small business lenders, in conjunction with the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses program which provides capital and business education to small business owners across the United States.

Pending qualified demand, Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses will commit $40 million in loans accompanied by charitable support to approved small business lenders.

An attorney for a Jay woman who told police that three masked men broke into her home and torched her husband's truck is disputing police contentions that she has stopped cooperating with investigators.
JAY, Maine (AP) _ The woman told police the men barged into the home early Sunday and set the truck afire after she called police.
Chief Larry White Sr. said Wednesday there were inconsistencies in the woman's statements and she had stopped cooperating.
The woman's lawyer, Walter Hanstein, told the Sun Journal on Thursday that she came to him only after police questioning became "overly accusatory and upsetting.'' He says he contacted police to say she would be willing to continue cooperating.
Police and the state Fire Marshal continue to investigate.
The woman's name has not been made public.

San Diego officers push Vietnam veteran, Gil Larocque, on broken scooter 2 miles home
SAN DIEGO - Two San Diego police officers are being commended for going above the call of duty to help a Vietnam veteran on Memorial Day weekend.
The officers pushed the vet nearly two miles to his home after his power scooter broke down on a busy road.
Both officers work out of the San Diego Police Department's Eastern division office off of Aero Drive in Serra Mesa, and neither one gave what they did Sunday a second thought.
"The least I could do was push him, you know. That's the least I could do. He's sacrificed and given so much to this country," said SDPD Officer Milo Shields.
It was not what Vietnam veteran Gil Larocque was expecting to happen when his power scooter stopped working along busy Clairemont Mesa Boulevard on the day before Memorial Day.
"You wouldn't expect them to do something like that … put you all the way home," said Larocque.
But that is exactly what San Diego police Officers Milo Shields, a veteran, and Eric Cooper, the son of a veteran, did when they saw Larocque struggling, trying to flag down traffic in the hot sun.
"I appreciate what they did," said Larocque. "They went out of their way. How many people would stop?"
It was a lot easier said than done. There were some hiccups along the nearly two-mile route as the officers pushed Larocque and a dead scooter that weighed more than 300 pounds.
"Whenever we got to an intersection, we'd be in the middle of an intersection, pushing this guy and it would just lock up, so we'd have to drag this thing through the intersection," said Cooper.
Larocque has had trouble walking ever since he suffered several injuries in Vietnam. Since he cannot drive, Larocque uses the scooter to run errands for him and his 90-year-old father, a Pearl Harbor survivor.
"He's 90 years old and he's in better condition than I am," said Larocque.
"90 years old and a Pearl Harbor survivor?" asked 10News photojournalist Ginny Creighton.
"Yes," responded Larocque.
Shields told 10News, "We think about veterans one day a year. We should think about them more. Memorial Day and we move on, but every day to me is Memorial Day."
After they got Larocque home, the SDPD sergeant who filmed the officers pushing the scooter down the street picked them up and returned them to their patrol car.
Larocque's scooter is in the shop getting fixed.

To start off this is a fine establishment with good food, ample wine, good service by the female wait staff, and great movies that I would never get the chance to see on the big screen. I've noticed during the past few movies that the low talking scenes become muffled to the point that you can't understand what is being said. I've had a couple of friends notice this as well. Any way you could rectify the problem? This won't keep from going but would make the experience just that much better.
I have seen all my childhood favorites here! I love this place! I can't wait to see Goonies in July. Is there a possibility of getting The Sandlot and The Princess Bride shown sometime soon!!!
I am heartbroken. The Room 3D is sold out. Any chance for an encore screening?
Will you possibly be considering playing the Doctor Who 50th anniversary special?
Hi Kevin, We spoke a few weeks ago at the end of your screening of Boogie Nights. I asked if you might consider playing 1976's GRIZZLY & possibly 1978's PIRANHA in the short conceivable future? Both were the best Jaws rip-offs during the Animals Attack onslaught of the late 70's. You asked me to write & remind you of these requests. Hope you could work on it for me (especially GRIZZLY!!!). I'll bet you'd do pretty well as this hasn't been shown for years in theaters & may be a nice discover for horror enthusiasts, as it's a mild Cult Classic but also a forgotten low-budget gem. Only a couple venues in Hollywood (including Tarantino's New Beverly) & a theater in Canada. Thanks, Dave
I also vote for more late 70s crap!
(I must admit to having actually seen GRIZZLY during its original theatrical run)
'Frogs' is another great (terrible) 70s horror film. Stars a young and moustacheless (surprisingly sexy?) Sam Elliott.
Withnail & I.
It would be pretty amazing to show Prince's epic Under The Cherry Moon on the big screen! Maybe paired with some music videos, or Michael Jackson's Captain Eo?
I second this! Under the Cherry Moon is the best! I mean worse! I mean best ever!
This is a rap song about Miami Connection that I recorded for a contest last November
I would love to see you guys add Saturday afternoon matinees for kids, espcially as the rain/cold sets in!! It would be really great to have movies right here in the neighborhood. I think you would get a lot of families to come!
Still hoping the kid matinees can fly. Thanks Kevin!
I loved it when before the upgrade you showed Star Trek First Contact and was wondering if there where any plans for any more Star Trek Film screening especially some of the older ones like "The Wrath of Khan" which I would believe would attract a fairly good crowd.
Seconding someone else's suggestion of Star Trek episodes or movies. My friends and I would definitely go to those!
Don't you mean Kim and Kanye's DAUGHTER? ;)
Any chance that Willow (1988, Val Kilmer) might be on the play list anytime soon?
Monty Python & the Holy Grail Quote-A-Long! C'mon!!
OMGOSH!! You're actually doing the Holy Grail Quote-a-long!! And not only are you doing it, but you're doing it ON MY BIRTHDAY!! Coincidence??
..yeah, probably… 'cause it would be weird if you knew my birthday…
Thank you for putting Pump Up the Volume on the calendar. I emailed in requesting this a while back and I am so excited!
Seeing Christian Slater in Pump up the Volume made me wish you guys played the classic
'Gleaming the Cube'
Also, another 80s great would be 'Dream a Little Dream'
Hells yes to Gleaming the Cube!
Does CC take request for movies that are shown? If so, "Car Wash" please!!!
Why? Pryor, Carlin, Devito, Fargas, and more! Oh, and, the music!
I had the best time at The Room last night! I don't think I have ever laughed as hard as I did throughout the whole movie. It was my first visit, but I cannot wait to get back. The food and beer was delish and the staff were all awesome.
I think I saw that Saturday Night Fever is on the list of upcoming movies? If so, count me in!

Album release and tour
Heyy! I'm in Des Moines waiting to play at Mars Cafe. The guy who works here doesn't know how to set up the PA. There's not many people here, but I've had worse.
The album release went pretty well. I had fun of course and we played well. I was planning for it to be the biggest show of my life so far and it definitely did not come out that way. I only got a fraction of the audience I expected to, and only sold a fraction of the albums I expected to. Even a lot of my friends didn't buy them. I know times are tough, but that's why admission was free, you know? But I was very happy about the people who did come- reduced in number, but you know, you find out who your real friends/fans are.
My tour: my first gig, in Madison WI, was cancelled. Lame! I had really wanted to go there. Then last night I played in Omaha, Nebraska. I couldn't find anyone to stay with so I used CouchSurfing.org and found some random person and stayed on his couch. It was pretty fun. Now I'm in Des Moines. I'm sick. I feel like the flight to Chicago is what made me sick because already when I woke up the next morning I could tell I was coming down with something. I've drunk so much espresso today that I can barely finish the one in front of me.
Omaha seemed like a cool city. I got there a couple hours before the show, and went in search of coffee, and accidentally stumbled upon a poetry reading. It was kinda fun for me 'cause I don't go to stuff like that, but it was really dragging on and I had to sneak out the back door.
I was the headliner at the gig- fancy! I so do not belong as a headliner in a place I've never been where nobody's ever heard of me- only a few people stayed to hear me. Being the headliner largely means two things: you play last, and in some cases, you're in charge of the money. So the owner gave me all the door money but it was my job to dole it out to the openers. So in the end I made almost enough to pay for the gas, but I was really depressed that I didn't sell a single CD or t-shirt, even though I did a really good job. I mean I know that's kind of normal, but like, when you go reeeeeeeeeeaallllly out of your way like this, you want some kind of tiny payoff. Like that show I played in Austin- if it had been a nearby show and I had been in-and-out I would have been ok with making no money, but as I'd driven 15 hours for it and stayed around for like 4 hours just to get paid and didn't, I was pissed. But anyways the bar, The Barley Street Tavern, is cool, it's got a sweet little room that's kind of like somebody set up a living room lounge in an unfinished basement.
Tomorrow I get to drive back to my parents' house in Chicago and go to bed. (Tonight I'm staying with another couchsurfing person- a girl and her sister.) Then Sunday I play in Chicago. If I'd had less on my plate I coulda-woulda-shoulda sent a press release to my hometown newspaper, 'cause it's always nice to be in the paper. But yeah things have been crazy of course. OK so then after Chicago I go to Minneapolis (St. Paul actually) for the first time ever! I've been to Minnesota before but not there. Excited! Then what i THINK i'm going to do is go to Mt. Rushmore, if I am feeling better and it's not going to rain the whole time like it has so far. That will be my little vacation for myself. Because I've never been and I don't see myself having another chance to go but here I am driving around the Midwest so it seems like a good time! Then on the way back I am playing a gig in Fargo, North Dakota on 10/08. My original intention in going to Fargo was to audition for their opera company, but when the Madison gig got cancelled I wanted to make up for it so I added the one in Fargo. I'm still supposed to audition but we'll see how my voice is- you know how it is, with the being sick business.
Highlights: Western Iowa is really pretty (windmills!), CouchSurfing.org works, random poetry slam, the State Capitol of Iowa is impressive, DayQuill works, I have almost memorized Zerbinetta in English.
Better go, ttyl!

A proposal to grant gay couples rights similar to marriage is expected to pass its first vote from Colorado lawmakers.
A Senate committee will hear testimony Wednesday from gay couples and supporters of traditional marriage on a civil unions bill that Democrats are expected to send to the governor's desk this legislative session.
The hearing and vote is the first on the legislation this year. Democrats tried unsuccessfully the last two years to pass civil unions, but House Republicans have defeated the measure. The bill is expected to become law this year because Democrats control both chambers of the Legislature and Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper supports the measure.
More than a dozen states allow either civil unions or same-sex marriage.

text: At first glance, the Fuel appears to have changed little, but the bike has been completely redesigned. Front and rear travel has been increased 10mm to 130mm and the suspension's pivot placement and leverage ratios are revised as well to provide more efficient pedaling through the sag range. Trek updated the geometry, too: The chainstays are almost 10mm shorter and the BB sits lower at ride height. Trek also added ISCG 05 tabs and a removable front derailleur mount for a clean look when paired with single front-chainring drivetrains. The frame accommodates both external and RockShox Reverb Stealth-style internal dropper post routing. There's toptube's standover height has also been reduced. The 2013 EX comes in two aluminum platforms and three carbon platforms that have different rear triangles—one is made of aluminum alloy, one has aluminum chainstays with carbon seatstays, another is full carbon. Depending on the model, frames weigh between 3.9 pounds and 5.4 pounds.
