Disney infinity is about to get some new powers.
On Wednesday, Disney Interactive pulled back the cape on Disney Infinity: Marvel Super Heroes. Due out this fall for Xbox One, PS4, Wii U and previous-generation systems, the upcoming game puts the Avengers front and center with new figures, playsets, and enhancements.
"Marvel Super Heroes fit perfectly into Disney Infinity, and with them we are pushing the platform's limits of creativity and imagination," John Blackburn, VP and General Manager of developer Avalanche Software, said in a statement. "We've enhanced and redesigned the gameplay to match the Marvel characters, while also making it easier than ever for players to express and share their own creativity."
The company is bringing in the big guns to ensure the game's legit. Longtime Marvel writer Brian Michael Bendis, best known as the force behind the Ultimate Marvel universe, is handling the main playset story. The six core Avengers -- Captain America, Iron Man, The Hulk, Thor, Black Widow and Hawkeye -- make up the first batch of figures, with over a dozen more coming. Toys, power discs and Toy Box downloads from the original Disney Infinity are fully compatible with the new game.
The game will also boast a slew of tweaks intended to emphasize its super-powered cast. A revamped Toy Box mode will now include two 'structured' games – one tower defense, the other a dungeon crawler – to help ease people into the somewhat intimidating toolset. Players will be able to build and decorate interior rooms and enlist builder characters to wander around and automatically build objects.
Disney is hoping that the heroic take on Infinity will keep the franchise's fortunes afloat. It's been a sizable hit, selling more than 3 million starter packs and generating over $500 million in global retail sales since launching last August.
Skylanders has yielded over $2 billion in revenue, however, and certainly isn't backing down. A new Skylanders game, Trap Team, will face off with Disney Infinity: Marvel Super Heroes this fall.

I can see so much potential with this. If the Lua can be triggered on a RAM write, you could use a writebytetooffset in a pokescript to trigger a lua script, do some stuff, then return!
As for networking, that might take a bit of work for stuff like a DPPt style underground, but I can see some REALLY good but simple uses for networking: Mystery Gifts. Use an online distribution system (or codes based on an online thingy) to get certain items or event pokemon. Or, a GTS to trade pokemon with other ROM-Hack-players. OR, an online saving system where you can view your progress... With networking, the possibilities are endless!
Although, I must request one feature if it's not already existant: Linking (wireless or wired) from a Lua script. While it's possible manually, it's annoyingly difficult. If we could have link connections from lua, we could have a wifi battle system, or a wifi trading system in all the Pokemon Games!

Re: Post here when you beat a game. I mean it!
** spoilers (although it's not like the story is any good anyway) **
Finished Resident Evil 4 on Normal. The final tally screen told me that I had died 59 times, but thanks to the generous checkpoint allowance, I can't remember a single death that made me groan with frustration and annoyance at how much I would have to redo. I haven't played the other Resident Evil games, but I've read enough about them to get the sense that Resident Evil 4 was a conscious effort to make the series more accessible to the casual gamer. Not just because of the friendly checkpoint system and the improved control scheme, but also because of the scarcity of tedious or arcane puzzles and the relative abundance of ammo for Leon's many weapons. The focus is on getting the player to the end of the story with a minimum of fuss, and if that sometimes interferes with the illusion of peril, then tough.
Still, I'm glad that the first playthrough can be as painless as you like. Everyone should have a chance to see the credits roll after spending $50 (ok, $20) on a game without having to shell out an extra $25 for a replacement controller. Plus, it's easy to make the game harder by, say, using only the pistol, or avoiding permanent health increases, or refusing to upgrade your weapons at the merchant's. And then of course there's the standard Hard-difficulty-that-unlocks-when-you-beat-the-game-on-Normal.
But the game works best at the standard, easy difficulty. There are tons of tense, exhilirating scenarios, but because the game is so linear and so tightly scripted, almost all of these scenarios are fun the first time and less fun each time after that. Since everything happens the same way each time, the suspense quickly evaporates, and a lot of the excitement goes with it. Two thirds of the way through the game, for example, Leon has a tense confrontation with Krauser....as they talk, they cricle each other warily, knives raised, lunging when they spot an opening. Whenever Krauser attacks, you must react quickly by pressing the right button combinations to dodge. Playing this sequence for the first time, trying to catch what Krauser is saying while remaining tense and alert, is exciting and immersive. Playing for the second time -- if you mess up and Krasuer kills you -- is way less fun, since you know exactly when Krauser will make each of his attacks. Scripted setpieces like this can get super tedious if they're too hard, so while you wish that the game wasn't so scripted, you feel grateful that the designers recognized and adjusted for the game's limitations.
Despite their predictability, the many and varied setpieces are still the best of the gameplay. More mundane encounters with the several varieties of grunts suffer not just from the same predictable scripting, but also from repetitive animations and voice samples, noticeable collision detection and clipping glitches, and monumentally stupid AI. If they are not shambling slowly into your hail of bullets, you can often find them standing still as you take aim at their chest from ten feet away. Even those smart enough to use evasive maneuvers are still easy to draw out into the open. It's a little unfair to criticize the AI for failing to flank the player or use cover when the level design isn't well suited to these sorts of maneuvers, but it would have been nice if enemies at least tried to flee from grenades....
Melee combat is underdeveloped and unsatisfying, more of a last resort than a viable option. There's no way of blocking enemy melee attacks nor of quickly sidestepping them, reducing you to charging headlong at - and past -- the enemy once he's initiated his attack animation, wheeling about, and thrusting your knife into his general direction. Needless to say, this doesn't feel particularly realistic or frightening -- especially not after playing Condemned.
My biggest gripe with the combat, though, has to do with music. The game always alerts you to the presence of enemies by fading in particular melodies, so that with a little experience you can even tell just what kind of enemy waits around the corner. Occasionally, such as when a melody announces the approach of the horrifying regenerators, these musical cues add to the excitement...but more often than not, all they do is eliminate the thrill of surprise. Worse yet, the music fades out when you kill the last enemy in the area, and since enemeis don't respawn, the fade out guarantees that you are safe.
A survival horror game should never let you feel totally safe! Even if it's actually just an action game with a tinge of horror.
Would probably give it an 8/10 if I had to give a number score.

I would like to know what your favorite catalogs or online websites are that you like to order from for craft supplies. I'm working on next christmas all ready and want to see what I can get on sale or clearance to use for next year. I know it seems really early but I know how busy my summers and sport seasons get so i want to start now in the winter when i have less to do and more time to work on these. Then maybe I'll have some of them done before december of next year lol
Question about craft catalogs & websites
I'm still fighting the weight loss battle, if you'd like to join me ask me for an invite to my private group Downsizing Divas!

I discovered the Home Companion magazine and site and I love it. It has become one of my favs.
Craftbits.com is also a good one.
For creative inspiration, there are so many blogs and sites I go to. There is one french magazine that I try to pick up every few months at B&N or Borders, it's called Marie Claire "Idees" and it's in French, but the visuals are fantastic!! http://blogs.marieclaireidees.com/
Like Kimeri - I also love Home Companion magazine and the website.
For shopping: check out www.paper-source.com
It's a really fun store and they sell some really nice craft tools and accessories.
I usually purchase my craft supplies on sale, too - from Michael's or AC Moore and sometimes even from www.etsy.com. There are a few shops on Etsy that offer those hard to find craft supplies. Basically, when I see it, I buy it. It's nice to have a stash of supplies that you can count on when you are feeling crafty!

The absolute best guilt-free crackers!
Posted by Reviewer2130947 on Nov 18, 2012
I eat these with everything: tuna salad, salmon, sardines, garlic spread, olive tapenade, cheese, turkey... you name it! I love the shape of them and the light, airy crispness! The taste is yummy, too. It's a wonderful compliment to savory foods. The original rye ones are low-glycemic, so that was my #1 reason for buying them. With all things considered, to me it's a perfect cracker! :)
Very good
Posted by Reviewer1128681 on Mar 22, 2012

ANNE M. PETERSON, AP Sports Writer
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Houston has a LaMarcus Aldridge problem.
The Trail Blazers' All-Star forward has been dominating with more than 40 points in each of the opening two playoff games between the two teams in Houston.
Portland is up 2-0 as the series moves to Rip City on Friday night, giving the Rockets little time to figure out how to defend Aldridge.
He opened the playoffs with a franchise postseason-best 46 points in the Blazers' 122-120 overtime victory, then followed it up with 43 points in the 112-105 win on Wednesday night.
Aldridge found success in the paint in the opener so the Rockets adjusted — but so did Aldridge, who went outside to pepper Houston with midrange jumpers. Thirteen of his 18 field goals came from 10 feet out or more.

pretty sweet ^^
Kinda looks like that fourth verson of TOM from Toonami in 2008
What is a Medabot?
The original Medabots from the old anime and games where like Pokemon in a sense. You could have a robot that could fight other people's robots, but you needed to have parts to put on the robot, the Head, Legs, Right Arm and Left Arm. Once you had those you included a special medal that was the brain of the robot, allowed it to function. Thus they though up of "Medabots" (Medal Robots). It was really interesting, but with Pokemon and Digimon being similar to it, it was sorta booted out of the main media. I hope I was informative! If you would like some better explanations I would suggest watching the series on youtube
Halo 5!
Halo Reach, but I will be doing a Halo 4 once the game is out and I have beaten it ....12 hundred times haha, but till then I do have plans for new Medbots
I really like this design. It has a certain charm to it...maybe character is a better word. It has a freshness to it that is difficult to obtain in Mecha, IMO. Your coloring is great, and I must say, the face which is what caught my eye to begin with, appears to have certain features that remind me of a pumpkin head. I guess all that needs to be said is congratulations on a very successful design!
Thanks for sharing!!!
Thanks for sharing!!!
That has to be one of the most sophisticated comments I have ever recieved! Thank you! Have a llama! I cant say I agree with the pumpkin head, but art is art, everyone sees it differently.
Thanks for the comment!

awesome his design is so amazing

Duerson's family sues NFL over Bear's suicide
The family of former Chicago Bears player Dave Duerson filed a wrongful death suit against the NFL on Thursday, claiming the league didn't do enough to prevent or treat the concussions that severely damaged his brain before he killed himself last year.
The suit was filed in Chicago on behalf of Duerson's son, Tregg, and three other children. Duerson died on Feb. 17, 2011, of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the chest at his home in Sunny Isles Beach, Fla.
Duerson's family wants to know more about the NFL's handling of concussions during his career, according to his son.
The lawsuit accuses the NFL of negligently causing the brain damage that led Duerson to take his own life at the age of 50 by not warning him of the negative effects of concussions.
More crime and courts
Former major leaguer Elijah Dukes has been arrested again, this time on drug charges.
Tampa (Fla.) police said the 27-year-old was arrested during a traffic stop early Thursday after officers noticed a small bag of marijuana on his lap. Authorities say he then tried to stick the drug in his mouth as if he were going to ingest it. They also noticed a marijuana cigarette tucked behind his ear.
The former outfielder for the Rays and the Nationals faces charges of tampering with physical evidence, possession of marijuana and possession of a drug.
Dukes has been arrested five times in the past year, mostly on driving offenses.
• Olympic champion gymnast Paul Hamm pleaded no contest to a reduced set of charges in Ohio, where he was accused of kicking a cab driver while drunk, damaging a taxi window and not paying a $23 fare. A magistrate suspended a sentence of 90 days in custody on each count, provided that Hamm completes a year of probation.
• Florida State running back James Wilder Jr. was arrested Wednesday in Tallahassee, Fla., and charged with two felony counts of battery of an officer, firefighter or EMT and resisting an officer with violence. He has been suspended from the team.
• A court in Romania has given a five-year prison sentence to Ionut Adrian Tanasoaia, the man accused of fatally beating American basketball player Chauncey Hardy in a bar last year.
Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger is restructuring his contract to help the team get under the salary cap.
This is the second time in six months Roethlisberger has reworked the eight-year, $102 million deal he signed in 2008. He deferred some of his salary last August to make sure the Steelers could get under the $120.4 million cap last season. He was scheduled to make $11.6 million in 2012 but the new deal will save the Steelers several million next season.
• Quarterback Trent Edwards and the Eagles agreed on a one-year contract. Edwards is expected to be Michael Vick's backup next season.
• The Packers re-signed tight end Jermichael Finley.
Track and field
Two-time Olympic champion Yelena Isinbayeva broke her indoor pole vault world record at the XL Galan meet in Stockholm, and Dayron Robles won the 60-meter hurdles after Liu Xiang was disqualified for a false start.
Isinbayeva cleared 16 feet, 5¼ on her second attempt, topping her mark of 16-4¾ set in 2009 at Donetsk, Ukraine. Earlier, Robles finished in 7.66 seconds to edge fellow Cuban Orlando Ortega by 0.02.
Saku Koivu scored the only goal in the shootout and the Anaheim Ducks earned a 3-2 victory over the Carolina Hurricanes in Raleigh, N.C.
• The Blue Jackets traded center Jeff Carter to the Kings for defenseman Jack Johnson and a first-round draft pick in either 2012 or 2013.

Manipulation of Hedgehog signaling in early human embryos
We propose deriving a new generation of embryonic stem cell lines with greater potential than current conventional lines. Until recently, all human embryonic stem cell (hESC) lines have been derived from one of two clearly discernible cell types, the inner cell mass (ICM), of the blastocyst stage embryo. ICM-derived hESC are able to differentiate to a number of tissue types. Nevertheless, such conventional lines range widely in how easily they give rise to adult cell types. Investigations with 'twin' hESC lines, i.e. lines made from splitting a single ICM, show that cells at this stage of development give rise to lines with distinct differentiation preferences. Thus a given protocol to generate a therapeutically desired cell type has a variable chance of success when applied to any particular ICM-derived hESC line.
Recently, a novel technical advance has allowed hESC to be derived from cells of significantly younger embryos (i.e. from blastomeres of 8-10 cell cleavage stage embryos). These cleavage stage hESCs are superior to conventional lines in the ease/efficiency with which they could be induced to differentiate a variety of cell types. As yet, however, only 2 such lines have been established.
Through our work in mice, we have developed a protocol to keep cleavage stage embryos from advancing through the usual program leading to blastocyst formation. We hypothesize that culturing human blastomeres under such conditions will allow more efficient derivation of cleavage stage hESC. Compared to the hESC lines in circulation today, blastomere-derived hESC lines are potentially far superior in their differentiative capacities. Such properties could greatly unify and advance the field in efforts to generate cells types of therapeutic interest.
The central hope of Proposition 71 is that human embryonic stem cell (hESC) research will alleviate devastating medical conditions such as diabetes, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's and cancer. Realization of this goal requires solving the problem of being able to reliably generate, in culture, a given cell type from any hESC line. Currently it is still not possible to differentiate (or generate) any given cell type from any given hESC line. Our proposal to create a new generation of hESC line from cells of younger embryos may move the field closer to this goal.
Recent technical advances made by the private sector on the East Coast have allowed derivation of the first two hESC lines from blastomeres (cells) of 8-10 cell embryos, i.e. cells that are only about 3 days post fertilization as opposed to 6 days in conventional hESC derivations. These two novel lines have shown a greater efficiency and capacity for differentiation than conventional lines in a number of assays. We have developed a protocol in mice that suggests a modification of this new method may improve on such blastomere-derived hESC derivations. We are therefore poised to take a lead in research creating a new generation of hESC lines that may supercede those currently in circulation, including a major source of lines made by private foundations on the East Coast. Given such a leading edge, and with one of the highest concentrations of college graduates in the nation, the state of California could transform the fields of embryonic stem cell research and medical discovery.

Some Southern Signs
I loved the photos of the religious signs in the current issue of Commonweal. Over the years I have jotted down such signs as I ran across them. It is to my eternal sorrow that I am not a photographer but here are a few samples I have recorded in my journal:
(1) Just beyond the Georgian line driving into Florida: "Jesus is Lord over Taylor's Catfish Restaurant."
(2) In Northern Pinellas County in Florida on the sign of a warehouse "Trucking for Jesus."
(3) In front of a mobile home on a state highway leading into Flannery O'Connor's home town of Milledgeville, Georgia:: "Great Satan Trembles on his throne when a single Christian is at prayer."
(4) My all time favorite is from the sign outside a rural Baptist Church in Wakulla county, Florida on the occasion of John Paul II ot the United States: "They call him Papa but he dresses like Mama."

Lawrence, my brother IS a photographer, and he lives in Oklahoma and has sent me some doozies over the years.My favorite is one outside a Pentacostal Church that says, "Git-r-done for Jesus!"
The Channel 6 news in Knoxville made a bug fuss when Hilltop Baptist Church of Newport, TN put on their sign after Pope John Paul II's death: "No truth, no hope, following a Hell-bound pope." There's a furniture store on the northbound side of I-85 in Cherokee County, SC that says something along the lines of "Jesus is Lord at (so-and-so furniture store)." "Jesus saves at...." would have been just a bit much.
And John Paul never wore Prada shoes! But then I doubt "Mama" ever did either.
One step up from signs would be bumper stickers - every now and anon they make, in fact, good theological points. I have also amassed a collection of those in my notebook. Some day I hope to do something with them in the form of a light hearted essay.
Certainly these are kind of silly, but we Cathoics owe a great debt to our evangelical-fundamentalist-pentacostal brothers and sisters precisely because they are not ashamed to speak publicly about their love of Jay-sas (that's my own litlte joke on pronunciation). They have contributed greatly to the continued religiosity of the United States vs the galloping secularism in Europe. As Joseph Weiler, the Jewish legal scholar, told a group of Catholic intellectuals at a Viennese conference last spring, "What Europe needs is more Europeans publically proclaiming the Lordship of Jesus Christ." The ones who do that the most, not necessary the best, are the E-F-P's. God bless 'em and their corny signs.
Austin has an interesting point, and our former bishop wrote a similar essay in which he wished that Catholics could embrace the kind of enthusiasm for their faith that the evangelicals do.I understand the argument, but I was raised by people who were exposed to extreme evangelicalism as children, and those experiences sent them into the arms of the galloping secularists without a backward glance.They have never been able to reconcile the Merciful God Who Loves You More than Your Mother with the Angry God Who's Going to Send You to Hell for not believing in the whole and literal truth in the Holy Bible.I'll pass on that brand of sarpent handlin', pizen drinkin, tongue-talkin' Christianity, thanks.
To drift away from signs and the South, an old Rabbi that I did some political work with in Chicago once passed on two enjoyable thoughts about Christianity. He thought Paul's conclusion that circumcision was not necessary was one of the best religious PR moves ever. He also told me how he once gave a T-shirt to a friend who was getting ordained as a Christian minister. On the front it said "Jesus Saves," on the back it read "Moses Invests"
Joe: I have often heard that old joke about Moses but have often wondered whether in its origins there was not a tad of anti-Jewish stereotyping in it.
Lawrence,The anti-Jewish issue has occurred to me, as well. In this case, I take some comfort in an elder Rabbi getting into the joke, and I recognize the possibility of an oppressed group finding humor in a stereotype, and so, perhaps, taking some edge off of it. After the Danish cartoons blow up, a newspaper editor in the Middle East announced a contest for cartoons making fun of Jews. Of course, it was an editor of an Israeli newspaper. His thesis was that no one is better at making fun of Jews than Jews.For my part as a Christian (by some generous definitions of the term, at least) I think a financial interpretation of "Jesus Saves" makes far more sense than most soteriological explanantions of the phrase. So I can find a little poke a Christians in the T-Shirt, as well.

You would have to have a developers account. I would assume Apple would be releasing it fairly soon.

Как мне поменять купленный в финке телефон, если у меня не осталось чека?
С контрактом брал? Тогда нет проблем. Мне первый раз вообще гарантийные чеки не пробили - я на следующий день вернулся менять, так как камера не работала - "где чеки" - "какие???" - "ладно..."
Но, судя по тому, что обсуждали возможность обмена минут 20, оператор не уполномочен МЕНЯТЬ - только ЧИНИТЬ.
Если без контракта - то никак.

I've been having this problem for a week or so. I believe it is related to 5.0.1 as I never had any problems on 5.0.
Until I get the chance to try 5.1 I've found that the problem can be worked around by the briefest of flicks to speaker and off again once you've initiated a call (literally as soon as you start before it connects or anything just tap the speaker icon on and then off). It seems to work for now.

I got the 4S from the day it came out and have had the problem where the other person cannot hear, pressing the speaker button twice would cure the problem. I took the phone to the genius bar where they stated they would change the phone but thought it would not fix the problem as it sounded like a software problem.
I updated the phone to 5.0.1 and the problem remained. I took the phone to the Genius bar where they replaced the phone; I immediately tried a call and sure enough the problem was not fixed. TheGenius then said that the only remianing thing they could do was replace the sim card. They did that in store and I have since made 35 calls with no repetition of the problem; previously the problem was happining on average for 1 in 4 calls.

As i said in a previous post i had the same problem, plus i couldnt use the apple earphones , when i was made a call immedialty opened the speaker . Today i change the micro sim ( the previous was 1,5 years old ) and everything are working perfect .

I have changed 3 micro sim card's, and nothing.... Still 1/5 calls i don't hear the person i have called....
I just wait to 5.1 IOS to come out whith the fix for this bug....i hope so

I would love this to be a sim problem but I don't believe it is. The original poster states he has a Verizon iPhone and that is a CDMA handset that doesn't even have a sim. There are people on here with both sim and non-sim handsets reporting the same problem.
Likewise I don't think it's a hardware issue as I didn't experience this for several weeks (I have a launch day IP4S) and as previously stated it only occured after updating to 5.0.1
Fingers crossed 5.1 fixes it.
Incredulocious Dec 1, 2011 5:18 PM
in response to TheAmdMAN
It's interesting that some people are saying that the developer release of 5.1 has fixed it for them while others report that getting a replacement handset addressed it. I would think that this is a software issue but I went ahead and visited an AT&T store to see about a replacement. I was directed to go to an Apple store which I then did. I explained this issue I was having as well as the immediate and frequent loss of bluetooth connection (described in other threads) and they gave me a new phone.
Well, I've tested it several times without any bluetooth device and with the differnt nav systems in two cars as well as my headset. All is good so far! No lack of audio on outbound calls or drop of bluetooth connection any more. (And both problems were happening frequently before, even after a complete restore.)

in response to Boogieman77
Well heres a little bit of interesting info for you all that have gotten a replacement. I got mine not long after my last post probably a couple of weeks ago or longer didnt bother to see. All of a sudden the problem has returned. The phone was flawless for that long of a time and now here we go again.... This has to be a software issue with drivers or something of the nature. I mean the only thing I can point out is that I did just update to IOS 5.01 maybe three or so days ago. So even getting a new phone that works flawlessly it will return as it did in my case.
Kevinsky18 Dec 1, 2011 6:58 PM
in response to TheAmdMAN
I'm begining to wonder if it's both software and hardware. I'm wondering if there's a software glitch that is actually physically damaging the phone.
I noticed after updating that my phone was really bad the speaker tap trick wouldnt work and incoming calls were an issue as well.
After going back to factory settings it was still acting up but I could do the speaker tap work around. In other words the software might have damaged the phone so that then even going back to factory settings left it crippled.

I spoke to Apple customer service named Chen today. By the way, I am on my 3rd iPhone 4S 16GB Black on AT&T US. According to Chen, the iPhone backup has a problem. If I restore as a new phone, all the problem will go away. I reminded him that lots of users did factory restore and problem still there. And also I reminded him - it's their s/w who took the backup in the first place! Why it is corrupted now? Didn't you test before you release the product? No answer. I also asked about 5.1 release. No comment.
I have 3 problems now:
1. Annoying static noise - even the Chen guy heard how bad it is and he confirmed that it's a problem.
2. Dropped calls - 80% to 90% calls are getting dropped.
3. Outgoing call - no sound. When I redial - it always work.
If I don't do factory restore as a new phone - Chen told me that they are not going to replace the phone anymore. What do you guys think? It's a pain to set everything up again. Should I wait for the elusive 5.1 release and pray that 5.1 will magically fix all those problems?

Same Problem here in South Korea.
I have my first White iPhone 4S 64G. Use earphone. Siri off
I wish this no sound problem would be solved soon.

I read most replies in this unusually long thread to try to forge an opinion on whether the 'no audio' issue is a Software or Hardware problem. I am an engineer and work in IT. I tend to vote for a Hardware issue that only affects some phones due to poor/random quality on one of its components.
We have experienced the problem on multiple iPhone 4s 16GB we purchased for my company. They were originally on IOS5.0 and the 'no audio' problem was already there. Upgraded to 5.01. Did not solve the problem. I noticed that the problem tends not to show when the battery is fully charged. I charge the phone every night and my first calls in the morning usually work ok. It could be that a sensor muting the embedded earspeaker doesn't work well unless receiving sufficient current. This could explain why briefly pressing the Speaker button on and off resolves the problem as all of a sudden the sensor muting the earspeaker would get a small surge of current good enough to flip it. It could also explain why brand new phones having better battery performance don't show the problem before a few weeks after which battery power may slightly decrease. Enough to show the Audio problem.
Can you guys share if you notice the problem tends to manifest itself only when battery is not fully charged?
If that is to be the case, I think Apple has to deal with poor/random quality on one of the internal components in which case best is to get your phone replaced. No SW upgrade will fix such a problem. Again this is pure guessing in attempts to do what Apple should be doing.
Apple's stubborn behaviour in not publically acknowledging the problem and not caring for their customers by refusing to explain what to do to fix their product is simply catastrophic. The Iphone is the most expensive phone on the planet. Never will you buy a Porsche, a Ferrari or a BMW and get this kind of service. These cars sometimes have problems also but their manufacturer will turn the problem into an opportunity to delight their customers by providing excellent service.
People used to buy Apple because it is simple and it works. These times are obviously gone with Steve.

I had this problem yesterday morning on the first 3 calls I tried to make and my battery level was up in the 90% region. Later in the day back at home I had pretty much the same problem when the battery was down in the 30% region.
Oddly, when I had 5.0 running and poor battery life was an issue (only slightly for me but it was running down in about 8-10 hours and in the low 60% region most of the day) I never experienced this silent issue. It really has only come about since 5.0.1

Hey I had been facing the same problem. It got resolved as of now- I just went to settings -> Network -> turned on the cellular data, my phone then started responding to the network...this worked for me
I'm now able to make calls and take calls again.................

You're likely to eat before a Seahawks game anyway, so why not get your brunch on at BOKA? Here's the deal. On game days from 8-2:30 p.m., you get a buffet brunch, a Bloody Mary and complimentary valet parking all for $18! That means once you finish scarfing down your body weight in eggs and bacon (and let's face it, probably too drunk to drive anyway), you can simply waddle your ass down to Qwest Field, take a seat, and watch football for the rest of the afternoon. You'll just need to find a buddy to drive you back to your car after
Sunday Bloody Sunday (you saw that one coming, right?) we lose the game.
"We are excited to offer this brunch as a quick, quality choice for fans on their way to the game or for guests who want to enjoy some sensational choices from Executive Chef Angie Roberts while watching NFL action on TV," says BOKA General Manager Jason Harris.
This fantastic brunch deal starts this Sunday and will last throughout football season.

Dr. Wallach starts the show discussing peripheral neuropathies. Outlining several health challenges that are caused by squeezing of nerves in the neck, back and skull. Contending that RLS (restless leg syndrome), tingling in hands and feet, atrial fibrulation and tinnitis along with several other health challenges.
Pearls of Wisdom
Doug Winfrey and Dr. Winfrey discuss a news article concerning a study of first year out of medical school doctors. Researchers observed 29 internal medicine interns and recorded whether they used five valued communication skills. The five skills were whether or not they introduced themselves, explaining their medical role to the patient, touching the patient, asking open ended questions like "How are you feeling today?" and sitting down with the patient for a converstation. Finding they touched patients 65% of the time (though many times this was in the process of a physical exam). Asked open ended questions 75% of the time only introducing themselves 40% of the time. Explained their role 37% of the time sitting down with patients only 9% of the time. In total the interns did all five behaviors during just 4% of their visits.
- Chaz has cerebral palsy resulting in hip problems that cause his feet to point out.
- Everett's father has COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) and wants to lose weight.
- Anthony's father has Parkinson's disease.
- Marianne has cataracts and neuropathies.
- Ileah has several health challenges including hypothyroidism, hypertension, atrial fibrulation, osteoarthritis and obesity.

Los Mosqueteros Group
María Angélica is the president of this group. In the photo she is on the far left in the back row. Her business is selling household linen such as, for example: drapes, sheets, bedspreads, quilts, tablecloths, etc. She sells her goods door to door and to order. She has been in this business for 3 years.
Thanks to this loan and some savings she has, María Angélica will set up a new business this month in addition to the one she already has. She will start selling fresh and frozen fruit and vegetables from her home.
María Angélica's dream is to own a store where she can sell household items in the city center. Her motivation comes from her 3 children: her 20 year-old daughter who is studying speech and language pathology at university, her 16 year-old son, who will help her with her vegetable sales and her 10 year-old daughter.
For María Angélica, Fondo Esperanza has been a great support, not only economically but also through their training sessions which teach members how to run their businesses.
Viña del Mar is a city and municipality on the central Chilean coast. It is known as 'The Garden City' owing to the gardens and courtyards that some of the old houses in the city have. It is also considered the tourist capital of Chile.
María Angélica es la presidenta de este grupo, en la foto se encuentra en la última fila, en 1º lugar de izquierda a derecha. Su negocio consiste en la venta de ropa de casa, como por ejemplo: cortinas, sábanas, cobertores, plumones, manteles, etc., a domicilio y por encargos, desde hace 3 años.
Con este préstamo, y gracias a sus ahorros, este mes comenzará un nuevo negocio, además del que ya tiene. Se iniciará con la venta de frutas y verduras, naturales y congeladas en su casa.
Su sueño es tener una tienda de artículos para el hogar, establecida en el centro de la ciudad. Su motivación son sus 3 hijos: su hija de 20 años, quien estudia fonoaudiología en la universidad; su hijo de 16, quien le ayudará con la venta de verduras y su pequeña de 10 años.
Para María Angélica, Fondo Esperanza ha sido un gran apoyo, no solo económico, sino también en la capacitación para administrar bien su negocio.
Viña del Mar es una ciudad y comuna ubicada en el litoral central de Chile, conocida como la Ciudad Jardín debido a los jardines y patios que poseen algunas viviendas antiguas de la ciudad. También es considerada la capital turística de Chile.
Additional Information
About Fondo EsperanzaFondo Esperanza (FE) is a private non-profit organization that supports entrepreneurship by providing micro-credit and training to people living in poverty in well over 100 cities throughout Chile. By providing these services, FE aims to improve the living conditions of the entrepreneurs and their families. In 2010, FE provided loans to more than 41,000 entrepreneurs. It utilizes a communal banking model in which groups of 18 to 25 clients meet on regularly and guarantee each other's loans. The members use their portion of the loan to create or expand their own businesses. In the group meetings, clients receive training though the FE Entrepreneurship School, which enhances clients' personal and business skills and ability to work in groups.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

It looks like freezes at that bug: http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=21791
I have media-libs/mesa-7.5_rc3. With media-libs/mesa-7.5_rc2 all is OK.
No crash and i don't know how can I get a backtrace.
*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 21791 ***
Maybe it's not related to googleearth crash. But it's related to mplayer crash.

Fringe By Numbers: Urgent Previews
There comes a time when one runs up against deadlines. Sadly, not every interview invitation I sent out to various companies got back to me as soon as I would've hoped. Sadly, I cannot write these any more quickly. Actually, I could, but I think my editor would hurt me if I did. When it comes down to it, I'm still not used to the fact that what I write goes through an editor. It doesn't bother me. I kind of like having someone else having a vested interest in what I'm writing. But, I'm also used to just posting my blog and having it instantly available to the public. That isn't the way it goes here at City Pages. I send all sorts of stuff to my editor, he deals with it, and then it gets put online. If I cranked out stuff any faster, I'm pretty sure that Jeff (that's his name) would be buried under a mountain of my crap and nobody else's. Last I checked there's a lot of other stuff on this website, so I'm guessing he wouldn't appreciate it if I kept spewing stuff forth in his direction.
What I'm trying to say here is that I'm up against a wall. There are a number of companies who did get back to me, but I can't do full-length features on each of them. Otherwise they won't get posted before the Fringe Festival starts. And when it comes down to it, what good is a preview article if it isn't really before the event?
To do something about this situation, I'm going to compile many mini-previews in this one entry. Ready? Go!
- No Refunds Theater Company -- Sun Tzu's The Art of War: This is a remount of a play that had a pretty successful run earlier in the year. It was written for the group by Charlie Bethel. It is based, oddly enough on an ancient Chinese text. Answering my interview questions were company members Matt Dawson and Christopher Howie. Here's one response that stuck out to me:
Q: What inspired this work? Why the Fringe?
MD: This quote from the book: "A sovereign at court cannot raise an army because he is enraged, nor can a general fight because he is resentful. For while an angered man may again be happy, and a resentful man again be pleased, a state that has perished cannot be restored, nor can the dead be brought back to life."
Also, student loans.
CH: The Military Industrial Complex.
Mad Munchkin Productions -- Stimulate This!: Laura Wilhelm and Alan Pagel combine to make up this company. They, along with collaborators Jen Rand, Ted Hansen, and Cameron Hager, have created a piece of work that plays fast and loose with the world in which we live. The idea sprang from the economic stimulus checks that have recently been flowing in to and back out of bank accounts across America. Some of their thoughts:
Q: Is there any significance behind the name of your company?
A: When we were first joining forces there were two options for our company name, Alan's PS Productions (AKA Poop Stick Productions) and Laura's Masked Munchkin Productions from prior work. Since we're both short and crazy we settled on Mad Munchkin Productions, leaving the poop and masks out of it in the end.
Q: What are you doing right now to prepare for the Fringe?
A: Painting purple bricks, finishing props, last adjustment on costumes, and passing out postcards like mad.
- Empty S Productions -- Roofies in the Mochaccino: Empty S is MTS, that is Michael Thomas Shaeffer, slam poet extraordinaire. His show Tantrums, Testicles, and Trojans was something I wrote about a lot a few years ago. His "Ode to a Colostomy Bag" is still one of my favorite humorous poems to this day. Checking in with Michael got me the following responses:
Q: What inspired this work?
A: This show was inspired by the success of Tantrums, Testicles, and Trojans. It's an hour of new slam poems with roughly the same humor and vibe as my 2005 entry.
Q: Are there any unique challenges working on this project?
A: Memorization for these slam pieces have been much tougher than the ones I did three years ago. It'll be fresh come Thursday. I'm shooting for polished but not over-rehearsed.
Behemoth Theatre Company -- The Legend of Little Bad: Not Her Father's Fairytale: Symmonie Preston was in a production of The Tempest that I directed many years ago. Since that time she has had a couple of kids. This part of her history seems to lead directly into why she has entered a show into this year's Fringe in the "kids" category:
Q: What inspired this work?
A: My 4 year old was upset that she had never seen me in anything. That's because I mostly do classical theatre and she isn't old enough to come. So, she looked me in the eye and said that I should just write a play for her and fix that problem. I chuckled and said I'd think about it. Be careful what you tell a 4 year old- they will not forget. So, after many reminders I promised her that I'd apply for a kid's fringe slot and if I got one I'd write that play she wanted. I went to the lotto thinking that I'd never get a slot and would be off the hook. I had assumed that there would be a plethora of people creating things to challenge kids, allow them to participate, and introduce them to the magical world that we frequently take for granted when we enter the theatre to do our work. Turned out that there hadn't even been enough applications to fill all of the kid's slots. That was an eye opener- and it made me determined to pull out all the stops and give her and all of the kids like her a real treat. She loves the story of the Big Bad Wolf and had asked for something to do with him. I got to thinking and wondered what the Big Bad Wolf might want for his daughter and what I would want for mine. This show is that show.
Four Humors Theater -- Mortem Capiendum: I first saw the guys of Four Humors during a remount of their first Fringe show, Inspector Rex. Since then they have become perennial favorites, and dare I say heavy-hitters on the Fringe scene. They have a great sense of humor. Nick Ryan has traditionally written the shows by the company, but that is not the case this time... at least, not exclusively. This piece was created by Ryan, as well as Matt Spring, Brant Miller, and Jason Ballweber. Nick was originally the one who I sent my questions to, but he then forwarded them on to the rest of the crew, who were touring Canada at the time! A couple of their answers:
Q: What are you doing right now to prepare for the Fringe?
A: We've shown Mortem Capiendum at the Cincinnati, Toronto and Winnipeg Fringe Festivals and over the course of our trips a great deal of fine-tuning has occurred. By the time we reach Minnesota, we will have performed the show for over twenty audiences, and we've made new discoveries during every single one.
Q: Do you like Canada?
A: Yes, everyone is extremely nice. Suspiciously so.
So... That about wraps that up. I do have two more previews with people who didn't fill out my form because I actually was able to sit down with them. Look for them shortly. Otherwise, this is it! We're officially on the home stretch. The fringe starts in just over 24 hours and I'm getting ready for "Day 1: The Beginning".

Awkward AngelinaAngelina Jolie feels "awkward" posing for photo shoots.
Despite being perfectly comfortable in front of a film camera, the beautiful actress admits she gets very nervous when being shot by a photographer.
Angelina - who has topped Esquire magazine's Sexiest Woman Alive poll and People magazine's 50 Most Beautiful People list - said: "It is always just an awkward thing for me. I'm not modelling. It's me. I'm a person. And yet I'm selling clothes while trying to promote a movie.
"It's very odd. And yet, in our world today, it's been a very successful formula. It works. We play dress up. But it's not really us. We've lost all sense of portraiture, and that's too bad."

What if my yeast arrives late?
White Labs ships most liquid yeast orders overnight or 2nd day air. Sometimes the deliveries do not get received on time, due to many transportation reasons. Is the yeast still good? In most cases the answer is "yes". We can say that from hundreds of experiences in our 20 years. The packages are shipped with insulation and ice to cover unusual circumstances. Yeast also do very well insulating themselves. In fact, some of our shipments to regular overseas locations take one week. Here is a July 2015 example of yeast shipped from San Diego to Norway. The customer was expecting a 4-day deliver. Some of the boxes stayed with the shipping company over the weekend and were delivered after 7 days. The temperatures inside the boxes were over 75F/24C, but this temperature had very little impact on yeast health as detailed below:
|7 Days
|7 Days
4 Days
|7 Days
|4 Days
What are the alcohol tolerances listed on your yeast pages? Please define them for us.
Alcohol tolerances are as follows:
+ Low is 2-5%
* Med-Low is 4-8%
* Med is 5-10%
* Med-High is 8-12%
* High is 10-15%
* Very High is 15% +
How does White Labs ship its yeast?
For commercial customers and stores, White Labs offers FedEx shipping to most locations and FedEx International Priority outside of the 50 United States. We also work on alternative shipping methods upon request or when orders are made at Yeastman.com, such as OnTrac (select Western states only), UPS and DHL (international only). Boxes are insulated and filled with dry ice for ideal delivery temperatures. Please place in refrigerated conditions immediately upon arrival. Domestic store orders are shipped Wednesday for Friday delivery with alternative ship days available upon request or when orders are placed on Yeastman.com. Brewery yeast is shipped overnight domestically.
Is your yeast gluten free?
Our yeast is low in gluten and is below the European standard for being labeled as gluten free; the American standards are still being developed. The European standard for gluten free is below 20 ppm.
Our yeast analysis:
Yeast slurry in package: 12 ppm
When our yeast is used with ingredients such as sorghum to make gluten free beer: 2 ppm
What are aerobic bacteria?
Aerobic bacteria require oxygen to grow. In the brewery, the most common types of aerobic bacteria are acetic acid and enterobacteriaceae. Good cleaning practices and frequent testing are the best ways to avoid contamination in the brewery.
Why is my beer under-attenuating?
Low oxygen levels may be one of the primary reasons for under-attenuation. Another factor could be under pitching. If an insufficient amount of yeast is added to wort, than you should expect a much longer fermentation time. White Labs yeast nutrient can also assist the yeast performance by adding additionalvitamins and amino acids into the wort. This will give the yeast more food and can jump-start a stagnant fermentation.
Why is my beer over-attenuating?
Over attenuation can occur from wild yeast contamination, or from a warm fermentation. Also, the mash profile creates different types of sugars, which the yeast consume differently.
How can I increase the alcohol level in my beer?
Alcohol is a byproduct of the yeast cells consumption of the sugars in the wort. As the alcohol level rises in the wort, the fermentation begins to slow down. Adding yeast nutrients to the wort can give the yeast new food allowing for an extended fermentation period. Yeast nutrient also helps to create stronger cell walls, which make yeast less susceptible to alcohol death. Another way to increase the alcohol level in the beer is to add yeast with a higher alcohol tolerance towards the end of fermentation.
What is meant by "certified pure yeast"?
White Labs certifies the yeast to be free from aerobic bacteria, anaerobic bacteria, and wild yeast contamination through a series of tests performed by our lab. Yeast does not leave our facility unless it is free of contaminants, and at least 95% viable. A signed report is shipped with each batch of yeast to commercial breweries. For homebrewers, the yeast vials come from a lot that is tested, and the report is housed at White Labs.
What are White Labs test kits and how can they help?
White Labs offers three test kits, which allow the brewer to test for anaerobic bacteria, aerobic bacteria, or wild yeast. They require no special skills. All that is needed is a little time to read the instructions, and a microwave oven. These tests can be beneficial to the brewer for preventative maintenance in the brewery or to locate the physical location of an existing infection.
How can I avoid contamination in the brewery?
Proper cleaning practices are the most important way to avoid contamination in the brewery. Since breweries are a sanitized environment and not a sterile environment, proper testing should be performed regularly throughout the entire brewery. Preventative measures, like testing for contamination, is the best way to avoid dumping a bad batch of beer.
How often should I test for contamination?
In the brewery, an overall Quality Control checkup is recommended every one to two months. Most brewers schedule monthly testing for aerobic bacteria, anaerobic bacteria, and wild yeast. Testing frequency depends on the size of the brewery and how often you brew. (Most mid-sized to large breweries test for contamination on every batch.)
Why is the fermentation not starting in the recommended time?
The most common causes are oxygen limitation and temperature. Low dissolved oxygen levels may cause a long lag at the start of fermentation. Oxygen is a primary element needed for yeast to be able to produce cell walls. Temperature of the wort when the yeast is pitched is also critical. If the wort is above 85-90°F, this may decrease the cell viability. If the wort is too cold it can cause the yeast to slow down, therefore increasing the overall time needed for fermentation to start.
What is meant by pitchable quantities?
At White Labs we package our yeast with a concentrated cell count which does not require any additional propagation time. Therefore, our vials can be directly pitched into a five-gallon batch of wort, giving you approximately a 5-15 hour lag time. Our barrel (BBL) system designed for the professional brewers also has the appropriate cell count for their specified sizes.
Why should I use liquid yeast as opposed to dry yeast?
Purity and variety of liquid cultures. Currently, dry yeast contains some level of contamination because the drying technology is not available to create a sterile product. White Labs takes an extra step by testing each batch of yeast produced to ensure that you receive a product that is free of contamination. There is more variety with liquid yeast because only certain strains of yeast can be dried. Even if they could be dried, most yeast strains do not have the demand to make a large batch of dry yeast economically viable. An increased variety of liquid stains also gives the brewer the flexibility to produce many different beer styles.
What temperature should I pitch a lager yeast?
There are two different methods of pitching lagers. Brewers use each method with success, but every brewer has their preference.
The easiest method is (A).
A) Start the yeast warm and lower to 50-55F after the start of fermentation. The yeast should be pitched at 70 to 75 degrees Fahrenheit. Once you see active fermentation, bring the temperature of the wort down 10 degrees per 12 hours until the desired fermentation temperature has been achieved. This method works well without forming high amounts of esters because most esters are produced after the first 12 hours.
B) Pitch the yeast at the desired fermentation temperature (48-55 Degrees F). Lager yeast ferment well at this temperature, but they grow very slowly. If you are using this method, understand that you may not see signs of activity for 48-72 hours. If starting the fermentation cold, we recommend you make a 1-2 liter starter per 5 gallons, or if a commercial brewery, a starter 10% of the batch size.
At what temperature should I pitch ale yeast?
The yeast should be pitched at 70 to 75 degrees Fahrenheit, 21.1 to 23.9 Centigrade. Once you see active fermentation, bring the temperature to the desired fermentation temperature.
Does a professional brewer need to propagate when using White Labs yeast?
For breweries our BBL packaging already contains enough yeast cells to accommodate the brewers needs. When ordering the pitchable amount, the yeast can go directly into the full batch.
What is Servomyces?
Servomyces is a nutritional yeast supplement (GMO free) that was originally developed for German brewers by Weihenstephan and the Munich University. It conforms to the restrictions of Reinheitsgebot. Servomyces enables any yeast strain's ability to incorporate essential nutrients into its cellular structure. Tested in breweries around the world, it has been proven to:
Cut down fermentation time
Increase flocculation
Greatly reduce harsh sulfur notes
Improve the health and viability of yeast
Reduce levels of diacetyl at the end of primary fermentation
Produce faster, more complete attenuations
Increase yeast production for a better harvest
Improve the quality of the finished product
Servomyces can be used in all fermentations, including beer, wine, cider and mead.
What is White Labs yeast nutrient?
White Labs Yeast Nutrient is a complex blend of nitrogen, vitamins, and co-factors. We designed it specifically for White Labs Yeast to increase vitality and viability in our yeast propagations. It is different from other nutrients in the market is because of the increased amount and variety of amino acids and cofactors. This increases the rate of metabolism, which results in faster fermentation and greater yeast viability. I t is an affordable way to increase the success of your brew. Our brewers have found it very beneficial for first generation, stuck fermentation and high gravity beers. Yeast nutrient can also be helpful when brewing high gravity beers. For commercial breweries, we package it in dry form in vials that are re-measured for 5 barrels. Nutrient is good for every generation and a must for beers above 1.070 SG or 17 Plato.
How many generations should I use my yeast?
We recommend 6-10 generations per strain. Three main reasons yeast should be replaced on a regular interval are bacterial contamination, yeast cell mutation, and yeast fatigue.
Bacterial contamination is largely responsible for off flavors. Bacteria grow at an exponential rate in comparison to the yeast.
Yeast cell mutation. Yeast cells will adapt to their environment, this could dramatically or subtly change the characteristics of the beer.
Yeast fatigue. Beer is a hostile environment for the yeast. Healthy yeast requires oxygen and food (malt). CO2 and alcohol are detrimental to the overall health of the yeast.
What is comparable to liter measurement?
The White Labs barrel (BBL) system is comparable to the hectoliter measurement by the ratio of 1 to 1. Example: 1 HL = 1 BBL (approx.). Our BBL measuring system was designed to make it easier for the professional brewer to order the proper quantity of yeast needed for their brewing system.

Cyclists could and should show courtesy when cycling in traffic; but sometimes are obnoxiously obtuse. That is a fact of life on the street, motorists just have to deal with it and not whine and cry about how they could be going faster if only...
Pedestrians have the right of way. You, as a cyclist, are required to yield to them under *all circumstances*. Even if you don't like how they are walking, or that they are listening to headphones.
The world was not set up for your convenience.
If you can't figure out how to use a MUP, please stay off of them. The last thing we need is for a bunch of overentitled jerks to get bikes banned from the MUP.
Is there a chance over entitled jerk pedestrians might be banned from the MUP?
When I rode motorcycles, I was constantly impeded by all other traffic on the road. I had, at that time, the fastest motorcycle ever produced by anyone. At no time did I expect other road users to accommodate my desire to travel at a consistent speed of 250+ km/h. Nor do I expect that at 90 km/h in my car, nor at 35 km/h on my bicycle. We all require accommodation at times from others, and we all must provide the like at other times. Or you can whine and moan about it on bikeforums, I guess.
I'm not asking to be allowed to travel at my chosen speed at all times.
I'm asking for over entitled pedestrian jerks to actually move over when I say "Excuse me" or ding my bell.
I'm asking for over entitled pedestrian jerks to not run/walk on a MUP 5 abreast so that nobody can pass them.
I'm asking for over entitled pedestrian jerks to not use their iPhones while crossing in the middle of the street, between parked cars, without looking.
Even an inexperienced cyclist shouldn't need video to learn this lesson. If you are having trouble, I have a nearby MUP that will teach you: The baby joggers will call Officer Mike, whose Harley is a lot faster than your bike. Officer Mike will write your citation, you will pay the fine, and then you can decide whether you want another, at the special repeat-offender price.
And I'll damned well jump into threads whenever and wherever I decide.
Further: You need to learn manners. Your mother should have taught you long ago, but she obviously failed.
The MUP near my house is primarily for bikes. It has "bike trail" in its name. I doubt pedestrians or bikes would ever be banned. We don't seem to have any problems on it. It's raised and does not have any trees so lines of sight are excellent.
Comparatively few adjacent pedestrian facilities exist.
Edit: The referenced accessibility guidelines are those established pursuant to the Americans with Disabilities Act.Quote:
1003.1 Class I Bikeways (Bike Paths)
Class I bikeways (bike paths) are facilities with exclusive right of way, with cross flows by vehicles minimized.
Class I bikeways, unless adjacent to an adequate pedestrian facility, (see Index 1001.3(n)) are for the exclusive use of bicycles and pedestrians, therefore any facility serving pedestrians must meet accessibility requirements, see DIB 82. However, experience has shown that if regular pedestrian use is anticipated, separate facilities for pedestrians may be beneficial to minimize conflicts.

I am occasionally seeing a need to do exponential averaging of values or rates.

So it is time to do it. I have a patch that does the averaging of values according to

Unfortunately, latex server seems to be down for the moment so formulas are not rendering. I don't know if that's an intermediate condition or permanent.
Ok fixed now. don't know for how long though, looks like googlegroups change access token every so often to fight attacks or something.
Should be pretty much unconditionally stable for positive time constants. I should have mentioned this, but negative time constants don't make sense, so I spaced the warning.
What kind of scaling factor do you mean?
I am also using this with slight modifications to enable to use with map-reduce. 2 suggestions i implemented on a side: updates to the past (unordered input w.r.t. to time of sampling, albeit potentially less numerically stable) and combining to use with MR. http://weatheringthrutechdays.blogspot.com/2011/04/follow-up-for-mean-summarizer-post.html. No algorithm in Mahout currently uses MR for summarizing inputs but it might. These improvements allowed to implement Pig functions that run those formulas.
Also i experimented with yet another biased estimator for binomial sums (similar to use of beta disitribution as a conjugate prior for binomial distribution) that allows to converge on a predefined value P_0 (similar to beta distribution mode converging to 0.5 with n going to 0) under two circumstances: 1) there's a lack of history (as in beta-distribution-based estimate). 2) there's lack of recent history.
There's probably no immediate use for either in Mahout but both problems seem to be pretty common otherwise.
Is this numerically stable? Or rather, in which range is this numerically stable?
Could there be a scaling factor?
Committed. Didn't wait long for reviews because this is pretty trivial stuff. We can reopen or open a new issue if somebody has a problem.
This implements time averaging and rate averaging with test coverage for both.
I will commit shortly if I don't hear otherwise.

What's all that juice for? For drinking of course.
Name of food writer: Sonja Groset
Position: Voracious blogger/Cooking the Books columnist
Shame factor: Moderately low, but that's probably because shameful items like Miracle Whip and tubes of Pillsbury cinnamon rolls are hidden from view.
Contents of note: The big tub with the red lid is pizza dough. It's from the book Artisan Bread in 5 Minutes a Day. It's basically a variation of the "No-Knead" bread recipe. It makes perfectly serviceable pizza crust and the best part is that the dough lasts in the fridge for up to two weeks. Just tear off a hunk and bake up some foccacia or pizza.
There is also a bowl of chocolate chip cookie dough. It's from a recipe in The Essential New York Times Cookbook. You need to "age" it for 1-3 days. Which, oddly enough, is a time saver ...unless you eat all the dough. There is also a big-ass jug of Best Foods mayonnaise, which I scored at the Grocery outlet for about $2. We will go through that entire 1/2 gallon in about a month.
Despite my baking prowess, the mister has an insatiable appetite for cinnamon rolls that I cannot manage to fulfill. Hence the tube of Pillsbury dough. It's his dessert mistress.
Lurking in the back of the fridge is a bottle of Kraft French dressing and a jar of Miracle Whip. These were essential ingredients in a recipe for McDonald's "secret sauce," that we had on burgers all summer. Don't knock it 'til you try it.
Top shelf: There's whole milk - for baking, but also for drinking, because anything with less fat tastes like water to me. Inside the takeout boxes is some leftover Thai. There are bottles of V8 and OJ, plus some eggs. Also a bottle of Prosecco. I'd like to say the OJ is for my daily dose of vitamin C, but really it's for mimosas. Oh and the V8? Yeah, that's for Bloody Marys.
Second shelf: Lots of yogurt, various homemade jams and jellies, heavy cream, a bottle of our "house" vinaigrette, a little bottle of homemade Bourbon caramel sauce, Daisy sour cream, pickled herring (breakfast of champions, or at least of Vikings), homemade pickled green beans (for those Bloody Marys), some leftover chopped onions, and some cream cheese.
Cheese drawer: This my friends, is where the magic happens. I love cheese and generally have 4 or 5 kinds on hand. There is always Parmigiano Reggiano - procured in big wedges at Costco; regularly bricks of Tillamook cheddar; and often hunks of goat cheese. There is also some Gruyere, which is great for melting. After a recent trip to IKEA, there is a slab of Gjetost, a goat's milk cheese from Norway that is made by slowing boiling the milk until it caramelizes, which gives it a distinct sweet flavor and brown color. An acquired taste for sure. There's also a sizable piece of Soppressata salami, which gets thrown on pizzas.
Bottom shelf: There is the monster jar of mayo I already mentioned. Also a big jar of peperoncinis (you guessed it - for the Bloody Mary's). Jars of almond meal, flax meal and leaf lard are refrigerated for future baking projects. Plus peanut butter. Also some cans of sparkling water and tonic water for making cocktails. And some cans of Izzy soda.
Drawers: There really should be more veggies and fruit in these, but our neighborhood farmer's market just shut down for the winter and I cancelled my produce delivery since it sometimes overwhelms me. In one drawer are a few stalks of celery, half a head of cauliflower and a head of lettuce. The other drawer has beer and sandwich bread. That's the carb-drawer.
Door shelves: Hoo-boy, there is lots of butter, mustard, hot sauces, and probably the biggest bottle of Worstershire ever (for Bloody Marys). There are some random bottles of marinades and barbecue sauces that were gifted to me. What else - some Tahini, sauerkraut, Maggi seasoning, horseradish, anchovy paste, Sriracha, Franks, Tabasco and Tapatio hot sauces; Edmund Fallot, Frenchs, Gulden, and Beaver mustards, Tamarind paste, cocktail cherries, olives, and capers. Also sweet & dry Dolin vermouth, Lillet blanc, various syrups for making cocktails, and a little bottle of homemade Falernum from one of my LUPEC ladies, for making Mai Tais.
Other items not shown: The freezer is pretty teeny and we try to keep it from getting too packed. There are refugees from the produce basket that overwhelmed me and other perishables I just couldn't use on time: Limes and lemons were squeezed and the juice frozen into ice cube trays. Egg whites were frozen in little cups. There are some little bags of blanched kale and beet greens. There's a quart of so of huckleberries, from a trip to Mt Adams at the end of summer, and some disks of pie dough at the ready for making huckleberry galettes. There are a couple bags of edamame leftover from an edamame infatuation I had over the summer. There is bacon, some pancetta ends, salmon fillets, smoked salmon, more butter, and chilled beer mugs. Oh, and an ass-ton of pesto from DeLaurenti. Have you had the stuff? It's fucking delicious. And CHEAP! Seriously, dinner in minutes with that stuff.
What my fridge says about me: I cook a lot, bake even more and have complete disregard for my cholesterol and BMI. My husband has an insatiable appetite and (thankfully) the metabolism to match. I believe that the only thing better than cheese is hot cheese, and that juice is best when mixed with alcohol.

Heads Up Mighty Mightor v2 by HeadsUpStudiosWatch

Sometimes you do things just for fun. It's been awhile since I had done that. I never really liked the initial Mightor I'd done, so I decided to re-visit it. Took only about 35 minutes and I like this one muuuuch better! Comments welcome!
This is NICE!! Ol'Skool fo real
after birdman,mightor is my 2 fave retro hero toon that is non dc/marvel! now how about heckle and jeckle? i tried doing em in your style but i couldn't get them just right
Birds are never a good idea in Heads Up style...I try to keep the head shape to that of a thumbnail. Animals, as a rule, don't fit that mold. It's why I've turned down every Scooby Doo commission. And don't think I don't have a Heads Up Shaggy and the bunch, 'cause I do. But without the canine, it's just not the same. *sigh*
I'm thinking I'll be putting some of this in the artbook.

would still love the scooby gang and without scooby you could add a font like "SCOOBY DOO,WHERE ARE YOU?"
this rocks Jay! thanx for bringing back the great memories!!
Not sure of the character, but another Head's Up from the top drawer my friend. You're really in your stride.....
