SAMLA 88 / African American Utopias
Jump to navigation
a service provided by www.english.upenn.edu
This panel seeks papers from scholars working across the disciplines interested in employing interdisciplinary or otherwise innovative methodologies aimed at facilitating teaching and learning about the Anthropocene at all levels. Analyzing the Anthropocene, or the "Age of Man", poses unique challenges for the classroom context. How does one "teach" the Anthropocene? How might we use the lenses of Rob Nixon's "slow violence" or Christian Parenti's "catastrophic convergence" to add a critical dimension to current teaching? Can we envision ways to work around administrative and standardizing obstacles and even transcend that physical and ideological place we call classroom?
The William Faulkner Society welcomes presentations that approach Faulkner's life and work in relation to this year's SAMLA conference theme, "Utopia/Dystopia: Whose Paradise Is It?" By June 5, 2016, please submit an abstract of 250-350 words, A/V requirements, and a brief bio, to Harper Strom, Georgia State University, at firstname.lastname@example.com, and Ulf Kirchdorfer, Darton State College, at email@example.com.
From the enduring popularity of narratives such as Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde (1886) to television series such as the anthology American Horror Story, world cultures appear to be obsessed with bodies and psyches deemed "monstrous." Jeffrey Jerome Cohen, editor of the collection of essays Monster Theory: Reading Culture, proposes that monster's body is a cultural body, a body that cannot be categorically confined, but exists to problematize and to escape any categories we may create. In their 2012 text Speaking of Monsters: A Teratological Anthology, editors Caroline Joan (Kay) S.
Young adult literature is home to a host of paradoxes. Inscribing the monstrous and yet rapturous, traumatizing and yet electrifying, self-alienated and yet self-conscious experience of adolescence, texts for and about young adults explore rich and radical liminalities. The Young Adult Literature session of PAMLA 2016 invites your proposal on any theme or topic of study pertaining to the vibrant field of YA literature and culture. We welcome engaging, provocative analyses of YA literature and texts (including graphic novels, comic books, video games, and/or films). Proposals attending to the conference theme "Archives, Libraries, Properties" are especially welcome.

Greek Drama V
University of British Columbia
July 5-8, 2017
This is a call for papers for Greek Drama V, a conference to be held at the University of British Columbia, in Vancouver, Canada, from Wednesday 5 July to Saturday 8 July 2017. The conference is the fifth of the periodic Pacific Rim Greek Drama conferences, after Sydney 1982, Christchurch 1992, Sydney 2002, and Wellington 2007. The keynote address will be delivered by Prof. Eric Csapo, University of Sydney.
A growing awareness of transgender issues exploded in 2015, especially after the high-profile gender reconstruction surgery of Caitlyn Jenner. The rising awareness has caused activism both for and against transgender issues, and much of this activism has occurred within digital culture. For the SAMLA 88 Conference, held in Jacksonville, Fl from Nov 4-6, we are seeking abstracts exploring gender-identity issues as expressed through digital mediums, with special emphasis on transgender identity (although any abstract addressing gender identity and digital culture will be considered) for a panel to be held during the conference. Any methodological approach will be considered.

The Linux Beer Hike in England
Peak District
Blue skies, green hills, white sheep, black penguins, and golden ales – what a colorful week we had in northern England. About 60 geeks met in Castleton, in the Peak District, for the annual Linux Beer Hike.
When geeks put on hiking boots, grab their sunglasses and hiking poles, it's LBW time. The 15th Linux Beer Hike, also known as the Linux Bier Wanderung (LBW) [1], took place from August 17-25, 2013 (see the "Linux Bier Wanderung" box). Hikers and hackers from various countries all over the world met up in Castleton [2], in the heart of England's Peak District National Park. The village is surrounded by steep hills, with the most prominent being the Great Ridge two miles to the northwest. At the western end of the ridge lies Mam Tor (517 m, 1,696 ft), the "mother hill."
Linux Bier Wanderung
The LBW is a week-long event that takes place in a different European country each summer, drawing together Open Source and Free Software enthusiasts and friends from more than a dozen different countries. It is an entirely volunteer-run event, funded from a combination of donations among the attendees toward the cost of the hall, Internet access, and other amenities.
Hiking Paradise
Castleton turned out to be an ideal place for a walking holiday. Several hikes started at the village itself, and the geeks enjoyed fantastic views from up the hills. During the week, there were several shorter walks in the Hope Valley, including Winnats Pass, Lose Hill, Hollins Cross, Mam Tor, and Ladybower Reservoir. Some more advanced hikers went on longer trips, for example, to Kinder Scout, a moorland plateau at 2,087 ft (636 m) above sea level.
One day, we went on an advanced pub crawl. A walk from Marple Bridge to Whaley Bridge led us past several canal tow paths, cycle tracks, forests, rivers, lakes, and hilltop moorland – of course, there were plenty of pubs along the route, and we tried our best to sample many of the local beer specialties.
Show Time
Speaking of beer – to give attendees a better understanding of how different ingredients affect the beverage, a controlled tasting was held at the hall. One member of the group turned up well prepared with six kegs of home-brewed beer. After a brief talk about different types of yeast and hops, we got to sample the six beers with surprising results. It turned out that Belgian noses in the audience reacted instantly to the smell of the Belgian yeast. There was a similar reaction from the Germans when presented with hops commonly used in German beers. The British, of course, would simply drink anything, whereas the Scandinavians were impressed that one person could afford that much beer.
The week also included technical talks, including a presentation on optical voice communication with a 1W red LED and a 4-inch telescope. The discussion on the open source telephony system Asterisk [3] presented the audience with some ideas on how to achieve genuine high availability with Asterisk. Most of the techniques shown were based on experiments the speaker had tried himself – just not on production systems.
A huge success was the international potluck. People brought food or drinks representative of their home countries. A trip to a local curry house and to the beer fest in the neighboring village turned out to be fun as well. A traditional British pub quiz was held one evening. It was tailored to the event by featuring pictures of 1970s computers, famous (and infamous) people from the history of computing, and absolutely no pop music at all.
LBW 2013 was a lot of fun. I would like to thank the organizers and everyone who attended, geeks who shared their knowledge, provided advice on technical issues, and especially the nice people of Castleton who gave us a warm welcome. I'm looking forward to seeing you again next year!

text: Posted 18 Sep 2012 Week two was very good to the Panthers (only exceptions being the Atlanta, Arizona, and Philly wins). I saw a stat earlier where 20 teams are not 1-1 with six others being 2-0 and the remaining six being 0-2 (lol saints). Week three will give some much needed seperation from this .500 jumble. Below is the scenario that we would like to see....feel free to critique or challenge the games as you see fit. Atlanta at San Diego: Easy, NFC South rival vs AFC....AFC everytime, go Chargers Tampa Bay at Dallas: Ugh, Go Cowboys. Kansas City at New Orleans: NFC South vs AFC South. Need a Chief win here. Bengals at Washington: AFC vs NFC....go Bengals Rams at Bears: Coin Flip really, since both are 1-1. Realistically, we would want to pull for the Bears here, due to the Rams already having a conference win, and the bears only win coming vs an AFC Team, however, I think the Bears pose more of a long term threat. I'm telling you to side with the Rams, but wouldn't argue you if you choose the Bears. 49ers at Vikings: 2-0 vs 1-1. I don't think the vikings will post a long term threat. Pull for Minny here Lions at Titans: AFC vs NFC....go Titans Eagles at Cardinals: Two 2-0 NFC teams. Take your pick. I'll go with the Cardinals to win here. Both are identical in that they are 1-0 against the NFC and 1-0 against the AFC. I just think Philly poses more of a long term threat. Packers at Seahawks: I'm rooting for the Seahawks here. We get a shot against them in a couple weeks, so may as well take the Pack down another notch. If all goes accordingly, here is what you would be looking at: 3-0: Arizona (bet no one had money on that....lol) 2-1: Philly, Dallas, Carolina, Atlanta, Seattle, St. Louis, Minnesota, San Francisco 1-2: Chicago, Detroit, Greenbay, New York, Tampa Bay, Washington 0-3: New Orleans ( :lol: ) 1 person likes this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm having trouble with AX 2012, my point is that I must interface a RS-232 scale in Dynamics.
I've got working discrete mode (open port, take current weight, close port) so COM port config is fine.
My problem is when implementing continuous mode (read continuously from port, and do the logic to weight multiple items, without user having to click on anything), while i'm reading port, the UI is frozen, even can't click a button to stop the process.
My question is: can this be done with another thread not blocking the main (UI) thread?
I was reading the documentation and can't find anything in clear. IMHO, I think that doing it all in only one thread won't do the trick.

The New Left
We New Left Marxists grew up under a mushroom cloud with a silver lining: the nuclear war-threat which, as a byproduct, had erased the all-too-comforting historicism of the various Old Lefts. Compared to that loss, even the failures of Socialism in the East and the West which obsessed our predecessors seemed rather less alarming. They had been so entrapped in the pre- Hiroshima frameworks, the expansion of Socialism or the battle against reverse-Marxist expansion of Stalin's barbarism, that Armageddon became a mere extension of the old logics. Not for us. How could we become enthusiastic about either of the superpowers, armed to the teeth for our annihilation? How could we believe in the inevitability of any historical tendency to outrace the doomsday clock? We instinctively thought of ourselves as confronted by two different incarnations of a single menacing system, one world empire under different names.
Then again, the Old Left intellectuals' loss of realistic hope had been at least accompanied, perhaps (they often thought) even caused by the spread of mass culture. They were the last generation to revere, above all things, European high culture and the printed word. We were the first generation of American radicals born into the television era and the all-embracing mass culture. We thought in terms dictated by our surroundings-- even in our arcadian idylls, if that is not too much of a contradiction in terms. The media invasion of the mind, worse to Old Left intellectuals than the nuclear arms race, had become part of our assumed reality and one of the rare sources for subversive signals.

Raw Insights
Thursday, January 05, 2012
Day 5 of my one week trial of eating only raw foods until evening mealtime! This is the first day I've hit a bump in the road, but not to worry, this caddy is fueled up for the longhaul!
What I mean is, in just a few days of eating breakfast, lunch and snacks as raw foods I've already experienced some shocking benefits! This is making me want to eat this way past and beyond the one week trial. Some of the benefits have been:
~feeling lighter
~sleeping better
~waking up easier
~waking up without the grumpies
~less anger and impatience
~more energy and creativity
~1.5 pounds weight loss
~more regular bowel movements
Only 5 days worth and I'm feeling this great! I've just gotta keep going.
WHAT EXACTLY HAVE I BEEN EATING AND DRINKING, you ask? Here it is:
BREAKFAST: Jessica's Green Smoothie: 3 bananas, 3 ounces spinach, 1/2 cup frozen blueberries, 6-8 ounces of almond milk, and 8 ice cubes blended in my blender. All ingredients are organic when possible. I always have some smoothie left over and save it in the fridge for mid or late-morning snack. It doesn't keep well for me much longer than that, as it turns into a "pudding" consistency, although it still tastes fine.
"Green Smoothies are gross!" I started out saying this back in 2010 when I made the jump to try this drink. Not to worry, start out small. Add as many spinach leaves as you can handle for the first go. Literally, I started with 2 little tiny baby spinach leaves, one banana and 1/2 cup blueberries. Each time I made the smoothie again, I simply added a couple more leaves until a year later, here I am using almost a whole package of spinach in my smoothie, and I've upped the number of bananas too.
SNACKS: eat fruit! How ever much you like until you feel satisfied. Or drink the leftover smoothie from breakfast.
LUNCH: Either eat more fruit, or make a huge salad with dark leafy greens and any veggies you like to top it off with. I like cukes, toms, celery, onions, carrots, dulse flakes, and a sprinkle of nuts like pecans or pumpkin seeds.
NOTE ABOUT NUTS: use sparingly like a condiment.
4 PM: I let myself begin to eat "cooked foods". So, if I'm making dinner for my family, I plan to eat whatever I'm fixin'! Focusing on whole foods like grains, greens, clean lean meat, veggies and fruits.
There are so many variations of green smoothies, like using kale or romaine lettuce, with other berries and the like. Check out the GREEN SMOOTHIE LOVERS spark team and get some ideas!
Just a word about side effects: adding more greens and fruits into your diet is a process, which aids in the cleansing of the colon and the whole body. Go slow at first, and notice any changes you experience. Journaling can be helpful.
Some of my side effects have been temporary increase in eczema symptoms, fatigue, itchy mouth, dark stool. You may also find, as I did, an increased sensitivity to whatever is eaten in the evening: ie: if I didn't make a healthy choice of whole cooked foods at night I feel the effects more clearly the next morning than before.
To further aid in your cleansing while transitioning to more raw eating, include foods that help bind to, and eliminate toxins like brown rice, green tea and spinach among others. Drink water! Want more info? Ask me what else can be helpful to the cleansing process.
Eat your fruits & veggies! Grandma was right.
Cheers to your whole body health!

I loved your blog. It is very helpful. I am trying to get my husband more into fruits and veggies since his stroke. It made him a bit hard to please as his taste and smell intensified and his tates for different foods changed.

I will add that it is a good idea to "chew" your smoothies for even better digestion. What I do is save 1/2 of the bananas I plan on using and slice them up. Then I pour the smoothie portion on to the sliced bananas.

MJKO430: Isn't so awesome that our body is designed to crave nourishment from raw & whole foods?! God is so good. It's the excito-toxins in our everyday SAD food (high fructose corn syrup, MSG, etc.) that contribute heavily to our addictions to unhealthy food. When we turn the tables, and tune in to natural goodness it's like our bodies wake up and desire real food. How awesome is that?
CABLUESDIVA: You go girl! How long have you been eating this way? I have two more questions for you: What is the major benefit you've gained from it? and Have you lost weight?

Nice to see someone doing just about the same thing I am. I'm doing a green smoothie through the morning and into the afternoon along with fruits & veggies. Dinnertime is pretty normal - we eat healthy (mostly) so it isn't a problem.
I am noticing the same things, I am less irritable and less grumpy. I am having such a positive response physically I'm kind-of scared to even assign it to diet but WOW. I agree.

Town keeps old equipment at rinkJuly 09,2013BRATTLEBORO The Brattleboro Select Board is going to stick with the aging refrigeration equipment at the towns skating rink for at least one more year to ensure that the ice is ready in the Vermont town for the upcoming season.
The compressors at the Nelson Withington Skating Rink failed at the end of the last season and the town has been considering investing in a new system. But the estimate came in at almost $500,000, about $150,000 more than the community had set aside for the project.
The Brattleboro Reformer reported that the board agreed to invest between $30,000 and $40,000 in the compressors at the facility, even though theres no guarantee the equipment will hold up for another season.

Kevin Durant vs. LeBron James: The next great NBA rivalry?
Kevin Durant could feel it coming.
It was only a matter of time.
But the moment things began to boil over, boldly and blatantly, came on Oct. 8, the day of the Oklahoma City Thunder's second exhibition game.
The Thunder was gearing up to take on Miami. The night before, Heat forward LeBron James was hosting a party in Kansas City. A reporter had asked Durant that day if he would attend. Durant said no, explaining that he generally doesn't hit the town before games.
Durant could barely recognize his response in the next day's paper.
"It made it seem like he gave me an invitation to the party and I declined it," Durant said. "He never really invited me to that party. I just said I'm not going. So people are starting to twist and turn things a little bit and make things bigger than they are."
That fabricated friction, however small, symbolizes how some desperately seek to supersize any battle between Durant and James. But as the two stars meet for the first time this season inside Oklahoma City Arena, it seems their paths have aligned naturally to create a genuine rivalry — one that could become the game's next great one.
We might still be a long way from Bill Russell-Wilt Chamberlain and Larry Bird-Magic Johnson material. But Durant-LeBron has potential.
"That's a part of the game," Durant said, welcoming but not worrying about an impeding individual rivalry.
The networks have taken notice. Today's game between the Thunder and Heat is the first Sunday showcase of the season, a noon tilt that starts ABC's doubleheader and preludes a rematch of last year's Finals between the Celtics and Lakers.
Durant and James are the top two scorers in the league, Durant pacing all players with a 28.8-point average while LeBron ranks second at 26.1. Over the past three games, Durant has scored 109 points while James has scored 101 points.
They also are two of the league's most popular young stars. Each led all forwards and ranked second overall in their respective conferences in All-Star voting, and both are in the top 10 in jersey sales.
All that's preventing a real rivalry is the actual games. Durant is 0-5 against James. As a rookie, Durant's Seattle SuperSonics defeated James Cleveland Cavaliers. James, however, didn't play because of injury.
"I don't really think it's a rivalry since we don't play each other that much," Durant said. "We're only guaranteed to play each other twice. And if we ever do play them outside of the regular season it'll be in the Finals."
Who says that day is far off?
James' other competitors are fizzling out. Dwyane Wade has become a teammate. Kobe Bryant is pushing 33. Spurs guard Manu Ginobili is 33, and Tim Duncan turns 35 in late April. Most of the Celtics are fighting Father Time. Paul Pierce is 33. Kevin Garnett is 34. Ray Allen is 35.
The Thunder and the Heat, meanwhile, both have cores in their early to mid 20s. Wade is 29, but James and forward Chris Bosh are both just 26. Durant and teammate Russell Westbrook are only 22.
Durant, though, almost goes out of his way to downplay a budding rivalry.
"It's kind of cool for the fans of the game. But as a player, you just want to go out there and play," Durant said. "You don't want to take anything from your teammates or the organization. I don't want it to be Kevin Durant versus LeBron James. I want it to be the Thunder versus the Heat."
When: Noon, Sunday
Where: Oklahoma City Arena.
TV: ABC (Cox 8, HD Ch. 705)
Radio: WWLS 98.1-FM, WWLS 640-AM.
* Miami guard Dwyane Wade (wrist) is doubtful for today's game. Heat forward Chris Bosh (ankle) is out.
* The Thunder has won a season-high six games at home.
* Thunder guard Thabo Sefolosha's streak of 127 consecutive starts ended Friday against Washington because of a sprained knee. Sefolosha is doubtful to play today.

Physical Address: 1295 Shady Hollow Boulevard, Naples, FL 34120
Hours: One hour before sunrise to one hour after sunset
Trails/Facilities: Free – donations accepted, Open to public
The Bird Rookery Swamp Trail officially opened in July 2011. The Bird Rookery Swamp Trail offer 12 miles of hiking and biking trails, including an 1800-ft. boardwalk with wheelchair accessibility. A 1/4-mile crushed shell path leads to an 1800-foot boardwalk, then the trails become ground level, sandy/grassy relatively flat berms with swamp on both sides. The trails are actually old tram roads used when the area was logged many years ago. Biking can be a challenge on the grassy/sandy trails, but quite rewarding. The maple-cypress swamp is home to alligators, otters, Florida panthers, bobcats, white-tailed deer and more. There is one port-o-potty at the beginning of the boardwalk and several benches along the trail within the first 1.5 miles. Beyond that there are no structures.
Birders will delight in the abundance of songbirds that frequent the cypress trees along the boardwalk, as well as the many raptors and wading birds found along the trails. Barred owls are common and swallow-tailed kites frequent the area in summer.

Cincinnati police say a man is expected to survive after being shot 14 times.
The Cincinnati Enquirer reports that the 35-year-old man was rushed to a hospital Wednesday night after he was riddled with bullets in the arms, legs and body.
The man's girlfriend drove him to the hospital after the attack in the Over-The-Rhine neighborhood. A 32-year-old man was arrested a few hours later and charged with felonious assault. The motive was not clear.
The suspect was expected to appear in court for the first time Thursday.

U-T San Diego Fishing and Hunting Report
Fishing and hunting report
Morena: Getting stocked regularly with trout by the Department of Fish and Wildlife. The Pacific Crest Trail, which starts south of Campo at the U.S. Mexican border, cuts through the eastern side of the park. Very good hiking around the lake and a great campground.
Murray: The 86 anglers reported 4 bass kept (57 released), 2 bluegill, 1 redear sunfish, 1 crappie, 1 trout and 2 channel catfish. Stocked regularly with trout by the Department of Fish and Wildlife. Concession is now open Wednesday through Sunday. Boats available for rent. Perimeter road is mostly paved and frequented by walkers, runners, rollerbladers and bicyclists. Stay to the right to avoid collisions. Cowles Mountain, the highest and most-hiked peak in the city, gets a lot of visitors and is a parade off Golfcrest. The fire road that gets graded often for the utility and city of San Diego vehicles on the east side is much more hiker-friendly with much less use. Open daily to fishing and boating. Pay fees at iron rangers near the concession building or in the concession when it's open.
Otay, Lower: The 70 anglers reported 8 bass kept (60 bass released), 6 crappie. Concession is open and boats are being rented every Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday. The North shore has some good spots. Fishing pier located on west shore, north of the boat dock. Access road on the west side reaches fishing pier and some shoreline fishing areas. Open Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday. Pay fees at iron rangers near the boat launch or at concession stand, where there are boat rentals.
Otay, Upper: Fishing should heat up here soon as the water warms. No boats permitted here, so float-tubing, wading and shoreline fishing are good options. Great hike around the lake's perimeter. Open Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday for fishing, sunrise to sunset. Upper Otay is a catch and release only fishery. Bait is not permitted, only artificial lures with barbless hooks.
Poway: Good fishing here for some giant rainbows. Joe Velazquez, San Diego, 13.5-pound trout, night crawler, north of Fishing Float. Tim Nguyn, Rancho Bernardo, 7.5-pound trout, Kastmaster, Half Moon Bay. Brian Fontaine, 7-pound rainbow trout. The annual Youth Only Fishing Derby and Campout set for Feb. 8-9 at the lake. Cost to camp is $15, but it includes dinner and a seminar by Capt. Ron Baker and friends. It will be Baker's 18th time hosting the youth derby. Campers may arrive at 7 a.m. Friday to get a good spot. There will be prizes for the heaviest fish in age categories and a grand prize for top fish. There also will be prizes for the Kids Greatest Fishing Story. Call (858) 668-4770 for more information. For fishing and boat rental information, call the Lake Poway Grill and Tackle Shop at (858) 486-1234. For other information, call the park rangers at (858) 668-4772 or for park reservations call (858) 668-4595. No fishing license required here, but fishing permits necessary. Excellent hiking opportunities, with trails connecting to Poway's massive network of trails that include Mount Woodson and Iron Mountain. The trails are open daily, as is the lake park. The lake is open to fishing Wednesday through Sunday. The following items are prohibited at Lake Poway in order to prevent the spread of quagga mussels: float tubes, private motors and anchors, live bait containers, fish finders, floating catch baskets, live bait from any source other than the Lake Poway concession, any items the staff considers to be potential contaminants.
Santee Lakes: Big news here is lakes 3 and 4 continue to get stocked with rainbow trout, but lakes 6 and 7, known as the Camper Lakes, will split 1,000 pounds on Feb. 8. Get your camping spot or cabin soon. Anthony Norton, 5-8 trout, Roostertail, Lake 4. Jonas Kim, San Diego, 2 trout, including a 3-pounder, night crawler, Lake 4.

Naming Conventions
Currency and Economy
Races of the Veldt
Geography of the Veldt
Climate, Flora, Fauna
- Type of Government: Darwinist Autocracy
- Current Ruler: Sharam Hungry-Dreamer
- Each district is led by a Master of the Hunt either chosen by its districts citizens or "appointed" by the autarch
- The Masters of the Hunt form a privy council who answer to and advise the Autarch
- Standard: A five pointed, five coloured star encircled on a field of white.
- Population: 5,578,120 Raksa (40% Chook, 25% Shgal, 15% Enkir, 10% Shefak, 10% Galaki)
- Demonym: Cheronite, Kasian, Child of the Veldt, Raksa
Military and Police
The Might of the Veldt lies in its defensive force for there is no military that rivals that of the Raksa. Trained from birth to be the perfect soldiers, the Chero Kasi nation is very much a military based society built on the principle, only the strong survive.
- Sarkana
The Sarkana is the entirety of the military defensive force of the veldt with each Master of the Hunt acting as general for that district's forces. All are answerable to the Autarch and to the Council of Confessors. Military service is not a choice and the punishment for refusal or for running away is death. Young raksa soldiers undergo informal training from birth and enter into the Sarkad School at the age of ascension for their tribe where they undergo at least 5 years of intense training designed to weed out the weak who are invariably put to death.
When they finish their training at the Sarkad School, they undergo the Crucible which is a series of tests designed to measure their skills. Those who survive are inducted into the national rolls of the Sarkana as Empty Hands and slowly and surely work their way up the ranks. In order to attain the next achievable rank in the Sarkana, a formal challenge is declared to the next ranking member of the military and a game is held with the rank going to the survivor.
|Sarkana Rank
|Overlord of the entire Sarkana
|Masters of the Hunt
|Field Generals for each district as well as the appointed Chief of its tribe.
|Each district has 30 Wards and each is ruled by a Blademaster
|Each Ward is divided further into zones and is ruled by a Wardmaster
|Each zone has 5 Highguards who oversee their particular area the zone
|Reavers 1 – 10
|The basic military rank that populates the majority of the Sarkana
Courts and Prison
- The only prison is the one attached to the Soladium where the gladiatorial fights occur. The Soladium is located in the Capital at Chookadani.
The Shepards of the Faith
- The Raksa all worship the four elder gods, though they call them the Others. Creatures of thought and purpose so grand and expansive to be wholly incomprehensible to any living person. Their religion is strict and allows no room for any change in the evolution of thought. Heresy is always met with a fiery death.
- Hierarchy of the Order
- The Council of Confessors – 15 of the oldest priests who oversee the entire faith
- The Elder Shephards – 10 of the oldest shephards for each city who oversee the faithful there
- The Shephards – the itinerant faithful who proselytize and convert and punish
The Whispered Arts
- The grey sciences are considered a gift from the Others and is believed to come directly from them, making us conduits for their will. Those who pursue the study of the mystical arts must find a Grandmaster to teach them the ways.
- There is no singular school for magic, rather it is made up of Grandmasters who have studied and become very powerful who are willing to share their knowledge with those they find to be worthy.
- The philosophy behind their mystical beliefs calls magic use

The previous reviewer is correct in that this rug is thin and scratchy. However, it is very tightly woven and I have had no problems with it wrinkling. We use the 8'x11' under two desks and two office chairs in our home office and the thin, tight weave is perfect for office chairs. It also has been very durable to chairs and cats.
I was very disappointed upon receiving this rug. It 'looked' amazing~ however it was uncomfortable to touch, very rough and itchy. It is a lot thinner than 0.625 inches, more like 0.35 (as thin as a towel). Because it was so thin, it wrinkled. This would probably look really good under a dining table, but unfortunately 8x10 is too big for my dining room. I had to return this item and be aware, there is a return shipping fee of ****. Love the look but not the quality..
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? Color was spot on.. Taupe and Beige
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. The wool was itchy to the touch.. not comfortable for an area rug
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? Pile height of 0.625 inches is inaccurate, it was MUCH thinner than that

OU notebook: Bob Stoops says Trey Metoyer more comfortable in the system
Oklahoma football coach Bob Stoops said he believes sophomore wide receiver Trey Metoyer is much more comfortable in the system and could be ready to begin reaching his tremendous potential in 2013.
Metoyer originally signed with OU in 2011, but academic issues forced him to spend that fall at Hargrave Military Academy in Virginia. He arrived in the spring of 2012 and shined in the spring game, creating even greater expectations for the former five-star prospects freshman season.
He started OU's first four games in 2012, but fell out of the starting lineup and rarely played over the final stretch of the season, finishing with only 17 catches, 148 yards and one touchdown.
"I feel Trey definitely feels a lot more comfortable in what he needs to do, what we're asking him to do," Stoops said. "I feel like he's exhibited more confidence in doing that. We believe he has a chance to have a really big year. Hopefully that will happen."
The OU men's basketball team kicked off its second week of early practices Sunday night, going through a two-hour workout at Lloyd Noble Center.
"It's gone very well," Sooners coach Lon Kruger said. "As you might expect, the enthusiasm level is high and the energy level is high."
The Sooners have 10 practices before heading overseas Aug. 6 to play in Belgium and France.
Oklahoma's practices are open to the public. The team practices at 2 p.m. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday and at 10 a.m. Sunday and Aug. 5 before leaving.
Junior college transfers Edson Avila and Keshaun Hamilton are the only players not going through workouts before the trip. Avila and Hamilton, as Kruger expected when they signed, are finishing school work elsewhere and will join the team then they return from the trip.
Oklahoma senior center Gabe Ikard, on the Big 12 entering 2013:
"Top to bottom, it's right up there with the SEC and anyone in the country. We have a lot of great talent in the conference. It seems like a bunch of great quarterbacks graduated at the same time. But there still great teams in this conference. I'm excited to go through another season and compete for a Big 12 championship."

This application claims the priority of Swiss Application No. 2000 1280/00 filed Jun. 28, 2000, which is incorporated herein by reference.
This invention relates to an apparatus for forming images of items advanced in an organized or random manner on one or several conveyors. The apparatus has at least one illuminating unit and at least one image-capturing unit (camera) associated with the illuminating unit. The image-capturing unit forms images of the items on the conveyor. The apparatus further includes a control device which controls the illuminating and image-capturing units, for example, in a manner as described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,972,093 and 5,936,353.
An apparatus of the above-outlined type is disclosed in European Patent No. 0 856 465 which does not describe any specific illuminating device. An illumination by environmental light has the disadvantage that the reception of the line camera described in the patent may be adversely affected by interfering environmental light effects and thus the article-manipulating gripper devices cannot be accurately controlled.
Conventional illuminating devices have the additional disadvantage that their light sources radiate heat which may lead to a deterioration of the item quality, particularly in case of heat sensitive items such as food products, particularly chocolate or glazed items.
It is an object of the invention to provide an apparatus of the above-outlined type which improves the quality of the item images without exposing the items to thermal stresses.
This object and others to become apparent as the specification progresses, are accomplished by the invention, according to which, briefly stated, an article-conveying system includes a conveyor for advancing items thereon; and an image-capturing apparatus for detecting individual items on the conveyor and for generating image signals representing an image of the items. The image-capturing apparatus includes an illuminating unit formed of a matrix composed of a plurality of light-emitting diodes; a picture-capturing unit for receiving light rays emitted by the matrix and modified by an item situated in a path of the light rays and for generating the image signals; and a control unit connected to the matrix and the picture-capturing unit for a pulsed illumination of the matrix.
By illuminating a surface occupied by an item and a region adjoining such an item by the light-emitting diode matrix in a homogeneous manner, the recognition zone of the image-capturing unit may be better utilized as concerns the orientation and position of the items. The high degree of efficiency of the light-emitting diode matrix reduces the effect of heat emitted by the illuminating body. Such a heat effect may be further reduced by a pulsed drive of the matrix and, in addition, single-color light-emitting diodes, in conjunction with a suitable color filter arranged in front of the image-capturing unit may further reduce an interference by scattered light.
The light-emitting diodes in the matrix operate either in a transmitted-light mode or in a reflected-light mode. In the former mode the matrix is positioned underneath the item carrying conveyor belt where advantageously the belt serves as a light diffuser. In the reflected-light mode the light is parallelized to produce a directed incident light.
If, as noted earlier, the light-emitting diode matrix, by means of shutter control, emits light only during the image-capturing periods, a pulsed light beam results, whereby a homogenous illumination of the items may be obtained, without the items being exposed to appreciable heat stress. This circumstance therefore allows a positioning of the light-emitting diode matrix closer to the items, whereby the quality of illumination is further improved. At the same time, the short illuminating period permits a very accurate image-capturing of the items even at high item-transporting speeds.
A cascade arrangement is of advantage because control pulses need to be applied only to the first matrix 1; the control pulses are then taken over by the various cascaded matrices. Such control pulses represent, in case of an intermittent operation of the matrix, the duration and timing of the energized state of the light-emitting diodes 2. Advantageously, in a flash operation, the light-emitting diodes 2 are driven synchronously with an image-capturing operation of a camera or imaging unit 10. The duration of a flash period may be 1 ms. In case of a speed of 60 m/min of the conveyor belt 6, the image fuzziness amounts to 1 mm.
A matrix 1 with light-emitting diodes 2 makes possible a pulsed operation of the light-emitting diodes with an illumination period of 0.1 ms. When using a separate voltage supply for the light-emitting diodes 2 and for the signals of the control computer, the control signals are maintained potential-free by means of optical couplers which preferably have limit frequencies of over 100 kHz. It is a further advantage of the light-emitting diodes 2 that they are simple to control by low voltage devices and they age slowly.
The matrix 1 composed of 432 light-emitting diodes as noted above, has a width of 100 mm and a length of 300 mm as viewed in the conveying direction of the conveyor 6. By providing a cascade arrangement of several light-emitting diode matrices the light source may be adapted to any conveyor width. Thus, with eight matrices 1 in cascade connection a conveyor belt surface which is 30 cm long and 80 cm wide may be illuminated.
Preferably, the matrix 1 or interconnected matrices 1 are placed in a protective casing whose top side is of a clear transparent material such as PLEXIGLAS. In the description below, matrix and matrix module (with several matrices) is used interchangeably and provided with the same reference characters. Further, identical reference characters designate identical features. An individual matrix 1 as well as a module has a compact, flat construction.
The light-emitting diodes 2 may have any desired color, such as close to the infrared range, red, blue, yellow or green. Preferably, all the light-emitting diodes 2 are of the same color. In case no white light-emitting diodes 2 are used but, for example, identical red diodes, that is, monochromatic diodes 2, find application, then in front of the camera 10 a color filter 10 a for the same wavelength range may be used. As a result, the camera 10 receives only transmitted light components which essentially originate from the matrix 1. Thus, environmental light effects (except for those in the transparent frequency range) may be further reduced.
In the
A synchronous control of the camera 10 and the light-emitting diode matrix 1 is effected by a system control 15 shown in
In the embodiment according to
It is noted that by a combination of reflected light and transmitted light with a synchronized flash illumination in short intervals of typically 16-40 ms the contour of the item 8 may be determined from transmitted light and additional properties may be obtained from the reflected light image. It is to be understood that for both of these aspects a separate, individual camera may be used. Also, the above-described individual devices may be combined with the described individual features.
It will be understood that the above description of the present invention is susceptible to various modifications, changes and adaptations, and the same are intended to be comprehended within the meaning and range of equivalents of the appended claims.

Work to start on Windsor bridgeApril 06,2013WINDSOR Construction is starting soon on replacing a bridge in Windsor which will result in some slowdowns on Interstate 91.
A spokesman for the projects general contractor said the bridge, which crosses Route 44, was built as part of the original highway construction project between 1958 and 1965. It has passed its design life of 50 years.
The Valley News reported that the $20.6 million project is being paid for by 90 percent federal funds and a 10 percent state match.
The southbound span is scheduled to be replaced this year and the northbound bridge will be replaced in 2014.
Closure of the southbound lanes of the interstate will probably begin at the end of this month. Single-lane traffic also will be expected.MORE IN This Just InAnti-refugee activists are hosting a speaker at the Rutland Free Library tonight.

Is it possible to send an email to all members of a COS?
Is it possible to send an email to all members of a COS?
It sure would be handy if a COS would act like a distribution list.
Mail | Dell 2950III | 2x Quad Core 5420 | 8gb RAM | 6x 146gb SAS RAID 0+1 | Red Hat 5.3 | Zimbra 6.0.10 Network Edition
Test | VMware ESXi Whitebox | Phenom II Black 3.2ghz | 12gb RAM | 6x 1tb SATA RAID 0+1 | CentOS 5.4 | FOSS, Not in use now
If you are comfortable with scripting, here's a little Ruby code that would do the trick I think. You would need to create the .eml file first that you want dropped in to each account, and I'm not quite sure if that is the correct way to do it but I was able to create an empty message in my account this way...I'm assuming a correctly formatted .eml file would create a real message. Complete the error checking IF section or remove as needed.
You could do the same thing with SOAP....but I don't know SOAP...yet.Code:users = `zmprov sa "(zimbraCOSId=COSIDVALUE)"`.split() users.each do |user| add_message = `zmmailbox -z -m #{user} addMessage /Inbox /path/to/message.eml` if add_message.include?("ERROR") #DO SOMETHING end end

A Seattle student at Emerson College in Boston died Sunday morning after he fell from the top of a five-story off-campus building while filming for a school project.
A young Seattle filmmaker who died after falling from a building in Boston Sunday is remembered by family and friends as talented, smart and witty.
"He was just one of those people that really left an impact on everybody's life," said high-school friend Annalee Millar. "Even now, as hard as it is, I can't think about any time we spent together without smiling because he was just such a light in everyone's life."
Justin Amorratanasuchad, a 21-year-old film-production major at Emerson College, was filming a school project on top of an off-campus apartment building when he fell. A preliminary investigation indicates the fall was an accident, according to police.
The Ballard High School graduate had taken film classes since middle school. Michael Hipp, a friend from high school, worked on several films with him.
- Seattle fifth-graders will get their camp trip, but teachers refuse to go
- Five things to watch as Seahawks begin OTAs Monday
- What the national media are saying about Robinson Cano and the Mariners' hot start to the season
- Man arrested in attack on Metro bus driver
- Designed in Seattle, this $1 cup could save millions of babies
Most Read Stories
"Out of everyone in the class, I always pictured him as the one who would make it," the University of Washington junior said.
Mr. Amorratanasuchad was able to see a whole project in his head, Hipp said. Once, when Hipp forgot to bring the storyboard, or film outline, to a shoot, the team was still able to work because Mr. Amorratanasuchad "had memorized the entire storyboard, shot by shot."
Although he was a professional when it came to his films, Mr. Amorratanasuchad was a goofball, too, said Evangeline Spracklin, a friend from high school.
He loved talking in funny accents and making weird faces, even speaking baby talk to his well-loved dog, Roxy, Spracklin said.
Craig Brooke-Weiss, Mr. Amorratanasuchad's stepfather, remembers seeing him enact an elaborate story using shadow puppets when he was young. Once, when it was Mr. Amorratanasuchad's turn to wash a formidable stack of family dishes, Brooke-Weiss said his stepson got through it singing "this awesome, awesome dish song."
"He was so original," Brooke-Weiss said. "He thought out of the box."
Mr. Amorratanasuchad earned a full scholarship to The Northwest School, a private high school on Capitol Hill. His parents urged him to take advantage of the financial aid, but he wanted to go to Ballard High School because it had a film-production program. After a few months at Northwest he transferred, and in his first semester at Ballard he won a film award.
"Whenever he put his mind to something, he did it," Brooke-Weiss said.
Besides his passion for filmmaking, Mr. Amorratanasuchad loved music and played piano and guitar. He skateboarded and could often be found doing tricks at the Ballard Civic Center Park.
"He was fearless," Brooke-Weiss said.
When Mr. Amorratanasuchad was filming atop the building in Boston on Sunday, he already had gotten a great shot, Brooke-Weiss said. But he was going for something even better.
"I'm sure … he was just excited," Brooke-Weiss said. "Not thinking about his life, just thinking about his art."
In addition to his stepfather, Mr. Amorratanasuchad is survived by his mother, Blair Brooke-Weiss, of Seattle; a brother, Jesse Amorratanasuchad, of Seattle; a stepbrother, Levi Carbonell-Weiss, of Seattle; his half-sisters, Eve and May Amorratanasuchad, of Thailand; and his grandparents, Robert Brooke, of Phoenix, and Dallas and Ellen Mustoe, of England. He was preceded in death by his father, Thawon Amorratanasuchad, and a grandmother, Mary Beth Brooke, of Phoenix.
His parents said they're in the process of planning a memorial service in Seattle. They also plan to start a fund in his honor to support his high school's film program.

The desert yeti on sentry duty. The Kawi's 1,053cc inline-Four feels like a large electric motor and pulls hard just about everywhere on the tach, especially in the midrange. At 80 mph, the Duc's engine is spinning at 4500 rpm, 1000 revs lower than the Ninja. When powered on, the Capo's cruise control indicator lamp flashes green which is annoying and easily confused with the turn-signal indicator. When activated it turns solid green.

Twilio Releases OpenVBX
Open source telephony service for businesses allows drag-and-drop call routing, text-to-speech, voice transcription and voicemail forwarding.
Twilio Cloud Communications announced OpenVBX, an open source, enterprise telephony suite that the company is touting as a Google Voice for businesses. OpenVBX offers virtual phone numbers, conference lines, voicemail-to-Email, voicemail with text transcription, text-to-speech and SMS text messaging, in addition to standard features such as call forwarding and caller ID.
The suite is built on PHP and mySQL, allowing for developers to create custom plugins and additional functionality. This also allows OpenVBX to be integrated into existing phone systems or standalone. For developers, OpenVBX can be skinned, customized and sold, providing a scalable, unique solution for businesses regardless of size.
OpenVBX requires MySQL 5+, PHP (5.2 is recommended), a Twilio Account and a Web server. Twilio itself doesn't provide hosting, but the company does recommend DreamHost for a one-click install. OpenVBX 0.74 can be downloaded at openvbx.org/download.
Not open-sourceThe client libraries may be open-source, but the underlying platform is a fee-based hosted system for which source is not available. Twilio is being disingenuous.

Offer a familiar smartphone-style interface
Best Nano Yet
Slim body, Responsive touchscreen, Easy to use interface
New home button and longer screen offer a familiar smartphone-style interface
'maximum volume level'
Built-in clip, support for playlists, audiobooks, podcasts, Genius Mixes
Yet another impressive apple product
Shuffle slims down, but new features speak volumes
Controls are impossible to use by feel alone
A great addition to your Samsung phone
Affordable price, 2x storage of iPod Shuffle
Ear buds are surprisingly good
Excellent basic MP3 player for rec. use
GREAT for music - not so much for everything else
A bit expensive, Feature-poor in some respects, Low-res screen
Most formats didn't play too well
Not that great...even considering the price
'Its indoor video quality is poor, and without even basic controls for brightness and contrast, there's nothing you can do to compensate for bad lighting.'
'Slim design with larger screen.'
'The bundled headphones do a capable job of rendering FM-quality broadcasts but fall a little flat when it comes to high-quality audio files, and still struggle with sounds at either extremes -- rolling, deep bass or high trebles came out a little squidgy for our tastes.'
'I plugged several pairs of headphones into the new nano and I was as pleased as ever with the sound, playing MP3, AAC, and AIFF files.'
'Genius feature creates on-the-go playlists around a single song.'
'VoiceOver navigation.'
'The controls on the device are fairly simple: a circular set of buttons allows you to move forward and backward between tracks (right and left), and increase and decrease the volume (top and bottom).'
Plays most audio formats
Easy to set up and use
Amazing Player for the Price
Includes lots of useful extras
'FM radio reception isn't great and connection of the Clip with Rhapsody was problematic.'
'The highest volume was more than we could stand.'
'Impressive sound quality'
'Like most budget MP3 players, sound quality from the included earphones is nothing to write home about, but at the very least, generous foam padding and light weight makes them comfortable to wear for long periods. '

I loved making it! I'm normally not a good cook so these recipes are easy to start off with, with minimal prep. It turned out great and I felt good about sharing some with other people!
Pretty bland, followed the recipe to a T.
This was good...I would make again...I used Siracha Sauce instead of hot sauce and more than it called for....and more chicen broth than called for....I made the mistake of adding the milk and using the emulsifier....it made it frothy...next time I'll emulsify before the milk. I enjoyed it and a great thing to bring to work....enjoy!
This is by far my favorite soup. It is nice and smooth but without the guilt. Hits the spot on a cold winter day but light enough to be refreshing in the spring.
