My basement is semi finshed, but I would like to put drywall over my basement walls to make it look less like a basement wall. My basement steps run directly in to a wall with 36 inches between the bottom step and the wall. If I use 2x4's then I lose at least 5 inches of landing space, Would it be better to use 2x2's in this case? Anyone have this problem? and if so what did you do?

- Help with my Basement stair landing
You could build a landing near the bottom if you have enough head room and turn the last few steps. You can also use a 7/8" metal "hat channel" on the walls to screw the drywall to and save a little more space (If your walls are concrete or block).

[This message has been edited by GlennG (edited November 26, 2002).]
Believe it or not, that is exactly what I was thinking. The only way I can get the necessary head room is, the ceiling above the landing is the floor for a coat closet upstairs, if I remove the center joist 2x8 and replace it with a 2x4 or nothing at all since hopefully no one will jumping up and down in the closet. Then I can extend my last step out to the new wall and still have my head room.
A lot would depend on the span of the joist you want to replace. Being it is only a closet (provided it is not piled full) I would suggest you might use a 4x4 to replace part of the 2x8.
I would only replace the part that is necessary and leave as much of the 2x8 as possible. Use a 2x8 to bridge the span between the 2 adjacent joists to support the remaining cut end of the 2x8. (If the joist span is long or the load on it is substantial, you may also want to double up on the two adjacent joists first.) Then replace the removed section with a 4x4.
Finishing my basement.

The new group will have an increased focus on identifying administrative and regulatory barriers to SME growth. Strong networks and knowledge of the realities facing the small and medium enterprises (SME) sector were the most important qualities we were looking for."

It's rare to find a hairspray that's great for our hair and the environment. This non-aerosol mist fits the bill: It's full of natural botanicals to nourish strands, and it provides the strong yet flexible hold you need to tame flyaways and support updos, even in high humidity. Best of all, the earth-friendly formula doesn't contain any harmful chemicals. All Number 4 products are vegan and free of gluten, sulfates, and parabens.
I absolutely love this hairspray! It's not super strong so my hair doesn't get stiff but still holds down flyaways. The best part is the smell! Sometimes I'll spray it in my hair just to smell good and I always get compliments.
I received this as a sample a long while back and I kept the bottle so I filled it up and put it in my purse, and I still have a bunch left. I say that if you use hairspray every day it should last you about 6 months to maybe even a year depending on how much you use. If you're on the fence about this product (or any other products from Number 4) I say just get it. You won't regret it.

Oklahoma State basketball notebook: Cowboys survive great unknown
Among Oklahoma State's concerns going to West Virginia for the first time: a fear of the unknown.
"This was unchartered territory," said Cowboys coach Travis Ford. "Nobody on our team had been here before. You could sense it coming here, guys were like, 'What's this all about?' Didn't know what to expect.
"So there was a lot of anxiety going into this game."
West Virginia had been 128-32 against teams making their first trip to WVU Coliseum before Saturday. And Saturday's crowd was lively and ready, hopeful of an upset, especially when OSU lost star guard Marcus Smart to foul trouble early.
Ford, however, said he felt like the situation my have flipped in his team's favor, serving as a sort of wake-up call.
"The way we started was like a nightmare," Ford said. "But sometimes you've got to get guys' attention. And they got our attention real quick.
"Not that you ever want Marcus Smart to get in foul trouble, but I think it made everybody go, 'Uh oh, we all better raise our game.' Once we got a little fire in our belly, we responded."
Saturday's win in Morgantown put Ford at an OSU milestone mark: his 100th win as Cowboys coach.
In his fifth season at OSU, Ford is now 100-61.
Overall, he's 223-176 as a Division I head coach.
Wednesday: at TCU, 6 p.m.
Saturday: Texas, 3 p.m.
March 6: at Iowa State, 6 p.m.
When Smart picked up his third foul at the 2:34 mark of the opening half, he had no reference point on how to proceed from there.
His last time to pick up three fouls so quick, or even close to that quick?
"Never in my life," he said. "They say there's a first time for everything. There it was. Let's hope it never happens to me again.
"Very frustrating for me and my team, but we had a lot of guys contribute in a lot of ways. Guys stepped up for us."

Lawsuit Against Birth Control Maker
In every package of birth control pills, there is a paper with a statement about how the pill is NOT 100% effective in preventing pregnancies...
In every package of birth control pills, there is a paper with a statement about how the pill is NOT 100% effective in preventing pregnancies...
Long acting reversible contraception or LARC, is an option for women when selecting contraception and may be a good one for you.
Nearly three decades ago, teen pregnancy was scarily rising in the state of Massachusetts, worrying parents and state officials. The trend over the last few years has shown a steady decline nationally and locally.
For a long time, the pill was seen as the best form of birth control by many women. But with improvements to IUDs and implants, things are starting to change.
Birth control has always been a taboo to speak about. There are many opinions on the subject, many methods to choose from, and it has seen quite the history...
A new, futuristic form of birth control may be on the market within the coming years.
For the first time in perhaps the history of the Catholic church the debate on contraception, cohabitation, divorce, re-marriage and gay marriage are being put to parishioners...and I for one think this is a genius idea.
Massachusetts Teen pregnancy rates have dropped to their lowest numbers in more than two decades.
Let's face it, most women forget to take their birth control pill at one time or another. And even though all medical experts tell us its best to take the pill at the same time every day, that may not be as easy as it sounds for everybody.

If James Hackett's life was about anything, it was about America. Born to a family of Massachusetts shipwrights in 1739, Hackett apprenticed in crafting the most sophisticated products made in Britain's American colonies: merchant sailing ships. He was about 15 when longstanding European tensions erupted into the worldwide conflict known in America as the French and Indian War, and was quick to enlist in the most celebrated American unit to emerge from that bloody conflict—Rogers' Rangers, the spiritual forebears of today's U.S. special-operations forces.

Just when you thought Kevin Spacey had his most bizarre comedy role coming out of Elvis & Nixon, a new trailer has surfaced for a film that's even more off the reservation. You have to see this for yourself.
Pretty much everyone has seen the classic photo of Elvis Presley shaking hands with President Nixon in the White House. Most people probably saw that picture and said, How in the hell did that even happen? Well, lucky for us, a new movie takes a stab at explaining all our questions away.
Want to know what went into making the end of Se7en? Then click inside, and you'll also find out just how close the film came to starring Al Pacino, Sly Stallone, and Val Kilmer.
Elvis & Nixon has just made a big move in terms of the war between theatrical and digital exhibitors. Read on to see what Amazon's latest acquisition could mean for the future of movie enjoyment.
When it comes to the annals of biographical and quasi-biographical films, topics centering on the infamous ex-President, Richard Nixon is not exactly unsewn territory. However, the upcoming film, Elvis & Nixon will have something that all the other Nixons dont have: Kevin Spacey.
Have you ever imagined Kevin Spacey as a cat? Well if your mind has ever wandered off into this unique scenario, then today is your lucky day. Thats because the Oscar-winning actor has signed up to portray a man who finds himself trapped in the body of a feline for Barry Sonnenfelds high-concept comedy, Nine Lives.
The image above is a real moment in history, depicting the when the hip swinging singer and movie star Elvis Presley met the 37th president of the United States, Richard Milhous Nixon. And soon it'll be a movie starring Michael Shannon and Kevin Spacey.
With his new film Gone Girl set to hit theaters soon, director David Fincher recently took part in a BAFTA event, and during the proceedings he revealed that the John Doe role in Se7en was almost played by an actor completely different than Kevin Spacey.
While his House of Cards TV wife Robin Wright is headed for real-world drama around Mount Everest, Kevin Spacey is also going into the past for his next role. Sierra/Affinity has announced they will be producing and financing the feature Captain of the Gate, a biopic centered on former British Prime Minister and all-around iconic figure Winston Churchill, and Spacey will don the signature Homburg hat for the role.
Spacey is fantastic in House of Cards. I can understand why he might want to use the Netflix original series to showcase his talents, but there are countless other projects Id use to show off his refined skills. What would you select for a Spacey highlight reel?
While J.C. Chandors script certainly resonated with Zachary Quinto and his team at Before the Door when they first took it on and still when they shot the film about a year and a half ago, it was a bit up in the air in terms of whether or not Margin Call would still be relevant when it finally hit theaters. Well, the time has come and courtesy of Occupy Wall Street, not only was Quintos first instinct justified, but now hes got one of the timeliest films possible.
Based on a true story, Margin Call follows a crucial day in the life of an investment bank during the start of the financial crisis back in 2008. That alone sounds interesting, but its the cast, which consists of a number of actors who have, quite literally, given me goosebumps in previous performances, that really sell this film. Fortunately, most of the notable names are featured on the poster.
We first heard about Father of Invention over two years ago when Kevin Spacey attached himself to the piece as a star and producer. Maybe the slowest production cycle ever, Father finally is getting around to being released and it looks like it might actually be pretty funny
Ask potheads which movie character theyd most like to get high with and at least half the time youll hear Cheech and Chong or Jeffrey The Dude Lebowski. On the one hand, it makes sense given theyve been long exalted as great advocates for the weed cause, but on the other hand, it makes no goddamn sense whatsoever.
At Cinema Con last week Warner Bros. debuted the first trailer for Horrible Bosses, their summer comedy that isn't The Hangover Part II and may turn out to be even funnier; Jason Bateman, Jason Sudeikis and Charlie Day star as three doofuses who scheme together to kill their awful employers
Oh what could have been. In a meet and greet preceding a recent screening of The Usual Suspects, the always brilliant Kevin Spacey dished at length on everything from beating Rafael Nadal at ping pong to roles he narrowly missed out on. One of them, however, is of particular interest.
This clip shows off Spacey's Jack and his partner in crime Michael Scanlon putting around a quiet tarmac and shouting quotes from Jerry Maguire. It doesnt give you much of a look into the greed
Unless you are completely devoid of a funny bone, you've enjoyed the most recent run of commercials for Old Spice body wash. Featuring an actor named Isaiah Mustafa, the ads are generally done in
Since breaking out as a star in the early years of this century, Colin Farrell has established himself as Hollywood's "beautiful people." He's ranked on lists in gossip magazines and earned the hearts of
It certainly looks like Horrible Bosses will be worth the wait. Not only was the script named one of the best unproduced pieces of 2005, but also now its got an entirely top-notch cast to bring it to life

Meet Victor Hasselborg, easily the most miserable Private Investigator in the entire galaxy. More comfortable with the dull routine of investigating insurance frauds than interstellar adventure, Hasselborg is bound by duty to chase a runaway heiress across known space to the primitive world called Krishna.
Dirk Barnevelt knew he wasn't a hero, but somebody had to find the explorer who'd vanished on the low-tech planet, Krisha and to do that, somebody had to single-handedly rescue a beautiful princess from bloodthirsty pirates and to do that, somebody had to lead the fleet against an impregnable fortress, while fending off a superior navy. And whoever managed all that was going to be a hero - whether he knew it or not!
Outside the walls of the starport Novorecife, Earthmen on the warrior planet Kishna are on their own. So when he is chosen to lead the first ersuma (Earth-tourists) through the sorcerer-kingdoms of this "protected" medieval world, Fergus Reith must first learn to speak Durou; must take the chemical oath against imparting technical information; and must above all else learn to handle a broadsword!
Percy Mjipa, diplomat-adventurer, and Alicia Dyckman, interplanetary runaway, both aliens on the alien world of Krishna, are swept up in wildly treacherous - and wildly funny - imperial intrigue.... The Prisoner of Zhamanak is the fourth of L. Sprague de Camp's Krishna book - interplanetary romance in the tradition of Edgar Rice Burroughs' Martian Tales.
The agreed-upon code is that sciences and gadgets beyond the cultural level of the peoples inhabiting the other planets will not be introduced by Earthmen, or other visitors. Such is the situation on the planet of Krishna, most Earthlike in physical attributes, climate, and inhabitants, when adventurer Anthony Fallon decides to take the risk of winning a kingdom. With enough money, perhaps he can raise a private army....
When Fergus Reith agrees to act as tour guide for the famed palaeontologist Dr Aristide Marot, little does he realise that the search for the elusive Ozymandias will uncover spectacular riches, ruthless adversaries - and his former wife, the seductive Dr. Alicia Dyckman! Caught in a bloody civil was, the three adventurers must fight or face death by boiling in the Cauldron of Repentance! The secrets of the planet Krishna continue to unfold in L. Sprague de Camp's latest tale of mystery, treachery and romance.
The Producer thinks he's God's gift to women - whether they're human or alien. The Director is delighted to work on a wild and woolly planet, where he can really behave like Attila the Hun. Some of the local natives are trying to steal the film crew blind - while others plan all-out war. And if that weren't enough, every time Tour Guide Fergus Reith turns around, he stumbles over another of his ex-wives or girlfriends! The Swords of Zinjaban is the fourth of L. Sprague de Camp's Krishna book - interplanetary romance in the tradition of Edgar Rice Burroughs' Martian Tales.

WHOA. A Daily Deviation, I'm really amazed (and pleased). Didn't see that coming but it's very awesome. Thanks to everyone who stops by to look and all my friends who keep watching my hapless progress with art!
Daily DeviationGiven 2009-10-01
Wastelands by *Damascus5 presents us with a wonderfully desolate and unfriendly world, with huge scale and thick atmosphere. Wouldn't want to get lost there, but it sure is nice to look at! ( Suggested by JackEavesArt and Featured by nervene )
Really Good! It has an Mystic atmosphere and the Mountains seems to be endless...Great work.
Great Piece~! I'm studying video game animation and am currently in a digital conceptual art class and this has been a great example as to how to work with certain technics. Will definetly keep an eye for future work
WOW!!! what program did you use and how long did it take? did you use a drawing tablet?
This is simply astonishing.
I love the drama you pulled in this piece. Hats off !
I love the drama you pulled in this piece. Hats off !
I love the depth of perspective in this!
I want to try to replicate this kind of landscape for one of my own Ideas. What brushes are you using? What tools? It looks very good!
Everything was handled in PS. Any of the versions that have custom brush options can do the job. One of the main brushes I used was a custom square brush set to follow stroke direction, opacity sensitivity and medium texture. Also used a grainy splatter brush to add small detail. The lasso tool was often used to create clean edges for the rocks and harsh shadows. Try working it up in black and white only first then when the values are solid add color in with Overlay and Color layers.
Staggeringly beautiful. The landscape is stark and bleak, though not at all empty. The place is made deadly by the jagged knives jutting out of the rocky ground, and the rider's hesitation is both apparent and understandable. I could go on just about endlessly about this piece, but I think I'll spare you. Excellent work!
I think this is very skillful, cool jgged rocks and atmosphere
Excellent work!
Amazing environment design. Great sense of depth and wonderful colors
Really deserved DD! It's awesome.
looks awesome
Stunning piece.
This reminds of the game called "shadow of the colossus".
Lovely atmospherics
Outstanding work, strong mood! Perfect in every aspect!
insane talent! This is incredible!
those rock textures are very similar to bob eggletons moon rock textures. this reminds me of something crossed between one of bob's paintings and a scene from Shadow of the Collossus, GREAT JOB!
Reminds me of the landscape from The Chronicles of Riddick on the planet Creamatoria... I'd play this game!
You're right, I hadn't thought of that. I really liked that movie, cool stuff
I'd play this game.
awesome work man. encompasses fantasy in all it's glory
pretty good
Beautifully done, I love this piece. Reminds me of Lord of the Rings... Definitely a Fave!
Brilliant way of capturing a desolate, very dimensionally empty world. I like it a lot!
Fantastic landscape! I love how surreal this is... it really gets the imagination going!
is really good i love how the character look so small and defenceless before that scary landscape. is very good
so beautiful
nice work!
Amazing place... So many emotions passed in my mind while I was admiring this...
Congratulations! I wanna be like you when I grow up! ^^
Congratulations! I wanna be like you when I grow up! ^^
Wow!!!!! Very nice enviro!!! I would like to be in that place... (me gustaría estar en ese lugar jeje)
The lone hero in the wasteland. Nice job.
WOOOOOW!!!! great Job!!
Awesome work! Congrats on the DD!
It's crazy awesome. It kind of reminds me of the beginning of Shadow of the Colossus.
Stunning example of scale. Love the scale, lighting and depth.
This has quite an epic feel to it. I love epic. I love this.
Wow. The scale here is the most breathtaking part, I think... Gorgeous.
This is awesome! Have you read the black sword trilogy by JV Jones? This picture soooo reminds me of a scene in it.

Details about MPI software available on Odyssey can be found here. It also has important information about ensuring your environment is set up correctly to launch MPI jobs.
MPI and LSF are loosely coupled on Odyssey. In order to have your processes launched on the nodes reserved via LSF, you must use the mpirun.lsf command. Here is an example script:
#BSUB -n 16
#BSUB -e err
#BSUB -o out
#BSUB -a openmpi
#BSUB -R "span[ptile=8]"
#BSUB -q short_parallel
mpirun.lsf ./a.out
#BSUB -n 16
#BSUB -e err
#BSUB -o out
#BSUB -a openmpi
#BSUB -R "span[ptile=8]"
#BSUB -q short_parallel
mpirun.lsf ./a.out
Here is an explanation of the important BSUB parameters specific to MPI jobs:
- -n 16
The number of processing cores to reserve in LSF. Should equal number of MPI ranks unless also using threads.
- -a openmpi
This indicates you are using the OpenMPI library. Possible options are: openmpi or mvapich.
- -R "span[ptile=8]"
Use this if you want to specify the number of MPI processes per node. So for this example the job would run on two nodes using 8 cores per node. Parameter is optional. Values can range from 1 to 8.
To debug your MPI code you should use Totalview.

Ghosts of Bell Curves Past
Gould, Stephen Jay, Natural History
I don't know whether or not most white men can jump (although I can attest, through long observation, that Larry Bird cannot--but, oh Lord, could he play basketball!). And I don't much care, although I suppose that the subject bears some interest and marginal legitimacy in an alternate framing that avoids such biologically meaningless categories as white and black. Yet I can never give a speech on the subject of human diversity without attracting some variant of this inquiry in the subsequent question period. I hear the "sports version," I suppose, as an acceptable surrogate for what really troubles people of good will (and bad, although for other reasons).
The old days of overt racism did not engender such squeamishness. When the grandfather of modern academic racism, Joseph-Arthur, comte de Gobineau (1816-82), asked a similar question about the nature of supposedly inborn and unchangeable differences among racial groups, he laid it right on the line. The title of the concluding chapter to volume one of his most influential work, Essai sur l'inegalite des races humaines (Essay on the Inequality of Human Races), reads: "Moral and Intellectual Characteristics of the Three Great Varieties." Our concerns have always focused on smarts and decency, not jumping height and susceptibility to cardiovascular arrest.
And Gobineau left no doubt about his position:
The idea of an innate and permanent difference in the moral and mental endowments of the various groups of the human species, is one of the most ancient, as well as universally adopted, opinions. With few exceptions, and these mostly in our own times, it has formed the basis of almost all political theories, and has been the fundamental maxim of government of every nation, great or small. The prejudices of country have no other cause; each nation believes in its own superiority over its neighbors, and very often different parts of the same nation regard each other with contempt.
Gobineau was undoubtedly the most influential academic racist of the nineteenth century. His writings strongly affected such intellectuals as Wagner and Nietzsche and inspired a social movement known as Gobinism. Largely through his influence on the English zealot Houston Stewart Chamberlain, Gobineau's ideas served as a foundation for the racial theories espoused by Adolf Hitler. Gobineau, an aristocratic royalist by background, interspersed writing with a successful diplomatic career for the French government. He wrote several novels and works of historical nonfiction (a history of the Persian people and of the European Renaissance, for example), but became most famous for his four-volume work on racial inequality, published between 1853 and 1855.
Gobineau's basic position can be easily summarized: the fate of civilizations is largely determined by racial composition, with decline and fall usually attributable to dilution of pure stocks by interbreeding. (Gobineau feared that the contemporary weakening of France, largely to German advantage, could be "traced to the great variety of incongruous ethnical elements composing the population," as his translator wrote in introducing the first American edition of 1856.) The white races (especially the dominant Aryan subgroups) might remain in command, Gobineau hoped, but only if they could be kept relatively free from miscegenation with intellectually and morally inferior stocks of yellows and blacks (Gobineau used these crude terms of color for his three major groups).
No one would doubt the political potency of such ideas, and no one would credit any claim that Gobineau wrote only in the interest of abstract truth and with no agenda of advocacy in mind. Nonetheless, it does no harm to point out that the American translation, published in Philadelphia in 1856, as Dred Scott stood before the Supreme Court near the brink of our Civil War, surely touched a nerve in parlous times--for Gobineau's distinctive notion of racial purity, and the danger of inter-mixing, surely struck home most strongly in our nation of maximal racial diversity and pervasive inequality, with enslavement of blacks and decimation of Indians. …

Carleton what do you think about people who dont race or Cat 5's shaving their legs? I dont get it, I was under the impression pros do it because of something to do with massages why does the average Joe do it?
Carleton what do you think about people who dont race or Cat 5's shaving their legs? I dont get it, I was under the impression pros do it because of something to do with massages why does the average Joe do it?
Who needs a sig....oh wait.
It is a comunity and tradition thing, there is no aero advantage. Most racers(of any catigory) shave their legs, so to do so is a small symbol of being a part of that group. Any group has similar things.
If You Meet The Buddha On The Road, Kill Him
There isn't some argument about road rash? I have this road rash on my arm today and I was wondering if pros shave their arms as well.
Air is much "thinner" than water. So little things in water make a much bigger difference.

Dear Carleton,
What sort of adjustments does one generally make when switching from 170mm to 165mm crank arms? Only thing I've seen mentioned is raising the saddle. Anything else I should be aware of?
Dear carleton,
Is it normal for some people to be able to sprint better when there is a bit of a rise to the road compared to it being flat as a pancake?
have you seen chris hoy's fork on his bike in the current olympics? it's huge!
Dear Carleton,
i recently tested this 12 speed road bike i got commuting to/from work. as it turns out im actually slower when i have gears. any idea why this would happen? is it just because the roadie is 10 pounds heavier? i thought i would be flying to work with gears and brakes to stop later.
Ride everything. Shave nothing.
https://dirthurt.wordpress.com/ | www.pedalroom.com/members/Mumonkan
im definitely not as familiar with it as my 722 but i took it out a few times for a couple hours at a time to get a feel for it, but its definitely too small for me, 38cm drops make me feel like im crammed in a box.
its most likely from '87ish and doesnt look like its been taken care of very well, all the bearings were lubed with rust powder. probably just not the most "speed" friendly bike out there, the 6 speed freewheel has too big of jumps between gears i feel too.
i should try to testride my friends giant defy and see how that feels

Dear Carleton,
I've only recently increased the mileage I am riding (to a measly 100 miles a week), and have been consistently doing some weight training at the gym. Because it is "new" for me, when I do longer rides (30-40 miles), my legs are tired the day of and sore the next day, when I do the weights, they are sore the next day.
Any tips for a "beginner" on scheduling my weight training and riding, so I can effectively progress at both? I am not training for anything in particular, just want to get into better shape and be stronger.
Skipped the Trainng and Nutrition section because your answer will be better.
Are bolt-on cogs used on track at all? If not, do you think they'll be? If not, why so?

I work at a Sainsbury's and when I get shoved on checkouts I'm determined to chat to every single customer I serve - last week I had a grumpy middle-aged lady whose shopping consisted mostly of carrots, and the only thing I could think of to say was "So, are you a fan of carrots?"
Straight afterwards I was like oh wow, I actually just said that aloud to another human being... but she just sort of shrugged and moved on! Figured this was a decent place to share that story

"The Palouse, Idaho-Washington States border" Moscow by XenoHumph
Moscow Travel Guide: 12 reviews and 36 photos
The Palouse, a region of big rolling hills covered with wheat, lentil or canola fields, stradles the border between the states of Idaho and Washington. The 2 main towns, both with a University, are Moscow (Idaho) and Pullman (Washington) separated by only 8 miles. The Palouse hills are cut by deep spectacular canyons in black basalts (for example that of the Snake river) sometimes enhanced by giant white water falls. The villages are quaint with colorfull old barns and houses, just like it was in the 50' maybe, unspoiled, rural and quaint.
- Pros:beauty of the landscapes, kindness of the locals
- Cons:isolated, no freeways (a blessing??!)
- In a nutshell:Spectacular landscapes, America's countryside untouched and quaint.

Interesting destination. PJ
Never thought about visiting Idaho but maybe we should - we love these "big sky country" landscapes :-)
Since you had a conference discount I suppose you were there for a conference? If so, what about? Sounds like a fine location for an *undisturbed* conference, actually.
What a beautifully done page on a fairly remote but yet so interesting region of the US! Thanks so much for introducing it to us!
Great Page, I can't believe you found good things to do out here in the Palouse
'Updated'? Did you actually go back to Moscow, like their football coach?
Quoi que tu en dises, c'est tout de meme la loose... :-D
Quelques-unes de tes photos (celle d'intro en particulier) me font penser à un petit voyage à Colfax depuis Seattle pour rendre visite à un cousin très éloigné qui avait quitté ses parents et la France à l'âge de 10 ans pour s'installer au Nouveau Monde!
Great landscape photos! Glad you got unstuck from the mud:)!

Eurogamer caught up with Take-Two Interactive CEO Ben Feder for a wide-ranging interview which is now available on the site.
While much of the conversation deals with various T2 games, Feder did touch upon the Manhunt 2 controversy and the notion of government censorship of games:
We firmly believe that games are art. A), we have the right to produce art. B), the consumer should have the right to make their own choices, providing the labelling on the package is clear about the content of the game.
Apart from that, I don't think it's the role of governments to determine what you or any of your readers can, or should, buy. They should be able to make their own choices. Government has no role in that at all…
Asked whether the interactive nature of games requires them to be viewed apart from, say, movies, Feder said:
It's not a difference with distinction… It's as if to say art as a painting is different than art as a sculpture. For sure they're different art forms and they use different mediums, but they're art nonetheless – they're forms of expression.
That, at least in the United States, is something that's guaranteed by the constitution, and in democracies in Western Europe there are very similar concepts about the ability for individuals to express themselves. If you stifle that, then society and the economy pay a pretty heavy toll.
Of particular interest given the ongoing RapeLay controversy, Feder was asked whether T2 might theoretically permit edgy developer Rockstar to create a game featuring sexual violence or abuse of children, Feder commented:
Look, I suppose there's a line somewhere. I don't think we've even come close to it. At the end of the day, we're also a commercial enterprise and we do intend to turn a profit with our games. That, in and of itself, provides a certain boundary beyond which we won't go.
I suppose there are more lines [beyond] which we'd be uncomfortable, but I don't think any of our games in the past, or any of our games that I've seen in development, come even close to that.

Not sure what the status of these M91 Zastava rifles are now but Atlantic Firearms says that they have no plans to import.
Posted By ATLANTIC-FIREARMS on ar15 yesterday: "We asked about the Zastava rifle and were told no they had no plans to bring them in at this time . Hopefully that will change but we did speak directly to the importer."
Bummer. Maybe Century knows something different.

Zach Torson scored 43 points, and a big third quarter carried the Thunder to the win in a Class 3A bi-district seeding game played at Franklin Pierce High School in Tacoma. Mountain View outscored Foss 33-14 in the third quarter to take control.
The win means the Thunder will play Seattle Prep at 8 p.m. on Friday at Bellevue Community College in a regional playoff game.
Torson's 43 points were his season high, one more than the 42 he scored last week against Prairie. He made three 3-pointers.
Four players scored for Mountain View (20-7). Ryan Johnson had 14 points and Luke DuChesne and Sean McCauley each finished with 10.
Foss made eight 3-pointers in the first half and led 40-30 at halftime. But Mountain View took over by attacking the basket in the third quarter. The Thunder opened the second half with a 12-2 run to tie the game, then kept going.
Mountain View had only one 3-pointer in the 33-point third quarter, scoring 30 points from inside the key on post moves and transition opportunities.
FOSS (17-7) — Trent 5, Ballard 13, Richmond 1, Miller 5, Byrd 7, Williams 1, Hunthausen 11, Hankins 4, Osby 6, Chambers 7. Totals 27 (13) 4-12 71.
MOUNTAIN VIEW (20-7) — Zach Torson 43, Taylor Drey 7, Ryan Johnson 14, Luke DuChesne 10, Rico Bolivar 0, Sean McCauley 10, Shane McCauley 2. Totals 39 (4) 6-6 88.

Something not to worry about, the Earth's magnetic field flipping
November 24, 2015 12:10 PM - Jennifer Chu, MIT News
The intensity of Earth's geomagnetic field has been dropping for the past 200 years, at a rate that some scientists suspect may cause the field to bottom out in 2,000 years, temporarily leaving the planet unprotected against damaging charged particles from the sun. This drop in intensity is associated with periodic geomagnetic field reversals, in which the Earth's North and South magnetic poles flip polarity, and it could last for several thousand years before returning to a stable, shielding intensity.
With a weakened geomagnetic field, increased solar radiation might damage electronics — from individual pacemakers to entire power grids — and could induce genetic mutations. A reversal may also affect the navigation of animals that use Earth's magnetic field as an internal compass.
Could Lithium-air batteries make oil obsolete?
November 24, 2015 06:47 AM - Editor, The Ecologist
Sooner than it takes to build a nuclear power station, lithium-air batteries could be helping wind and solar to make coal, oil and nuclear obsolete, say Cambridge scientists. Five times lighter and five times cheaper than current lithium batteries, Li-air would open the way to our 100% renewable future.
How to Eat and Stay Healthy this Holiday Season
November 23, 2015 07:23 AM - Patti Verbenas, Rutgers University
When it comes to maintaining healthy lifestyles, people tend to fall off the wagon from Thanksgiving through New Year's Day. Then, they set "get in shape" and "lose weight" as New Year's resolutions. That's not the best idea, says Charlotte Markey, a Rutgers University-Camden psychologist who teaches a course titled "The Psychology of Eating" and studies eating behaviors, body image and weight management. Overeating during the holidays, she notes, is not a matter of if, but when. People need to approach their goals in a smarter way.
Rutgers Today spoke with Markey, the author of Smart People Don't Diet: How the Latest Science Can Help You Lose Weight Permanently, about a more realistic and sustainable strategy to losing weight and living healthier.
EVs vs. Gasoline-Powered Cars - Which has the cleaner lifecycle?
November 19, 2015 07:15 AM - Leon Kaye, Triple Pundit
It's the trick question that has left many of us stumped: from the earliest stages of manufacture to the years driving on the road until they are sent to the junkyard, are conventional automobiles or electric cars cleaner for the environment? While acknowledging that electric vehicles (EVs) emit no emissions when running on our streets and highways, many have assumed that those pesky rare earth metals in their massive batteries and the emissions associated with producing the power canceled out any environmental benefits that their drivers enjoyed. According to the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS), a two-year study has provided the answer.
Half the world's natural history specimens may have the wrong name
November 17, 2015 07:07 AM - University of Oxford
Even the most accomplished naturalist can find it difficult to tell one species of plant from another or accurately decide which genus a small insect belongs to. So when a new specimen arrives at a museum, finding the right name from existing records can sometimes prove difficult. In turn, that can lead to specimens being given the wrong name – which can prove problematic for biologists.
To Kill or Not to Kill: The Great Specimen Debate
November 12, 2015 07:20 AM - Shreya Dasgupta, MONGABAY.COM
Indeed, museum collections are fascinating. Many of us probably still gawk at stuffed collections of extant and extinct birds, beetles, vibrantly-colored butterflies, and other animals that fill up glass cases and exhibition halls. Many of these collections were borne out of expeditions to remote parts of the world; treks that involved trapping, killing, preserving and cataloging animals that explorers encountered. Many of these collections have been useful in shaping what we know of the natural world. However, species conservation or scientific advancement was not always the goal of animal-collection. Often, it was done simply to suit the aesthetic whims of society's elite.
Vitamin C and the war on cancer
November 9, 2015 07:28 AM - Jocelyn Kaiser, Science
Maybe Linus Pauling was on to something after all. Decades ago the Nobel Prize–winning chemist was relegated to the fringes of medicine after championing the idea that vitamin C could combat a host of illnesses, including cancer. Now, a study published online today in Science reports that vitamin C can kill tumor cells that carry a common cancer-causing mutation and—in mice—can curb the growth of tumors with the mutation.
If the findings hold up in people, researchers may have found a way to treat a large swath of tumors that has lacked effective drugs. "This [could] be one answer to the question everybody's striving for," says molecular biologist Channing Der of the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, one of many researchers trying to target cancers with the mutation. The study is also gratifying for the handful of researchers pursuing vitamin C, or ascorbic acid, as a cancer drug. "I'm encouraged. Maybe people will finally pay attention," says vitamin C researcher Mark Levine of the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases.
Obama Rejects Keystone XL Pipeline
November 9, 2015 06:41 AM - Center for Biological Diversity
In a crucial victory for the climate, wildlife and the millions who spoke against it, President Obama rejected the Keystone XL project today, saying that building the tar sands oil pipeline is not in the national interest.
Over the past four years, scientists, environmentalists, tribes, farmers, celebrities and business people joined forces to fight the pipeline, with more than 2 million comments submitted to the U.S. State Department, tens of thousands participating in rallies against Keystone in all 50 states, and thousands of citizens arrested in peaceful civil disobedience.
"This is a historic moment, not just for what it means about avoiding the impacts of this disastrous pipeline but for all of those who spoke out for a healthy, livable climate and energy policies that put people and wildlife ahead of pollution and profits," said Valerie Love with the Center for Biological Diversity. "President Obama did the right thing, but he didn't do it alone: Millions of Americans made their voices heard on this issue, and will continue pressing Obama and other political leaders to do what's necessary to avoid climate catastrophe."
2015 Antarctic Ozone Hole larger and formed later than previous holes

Black Holes and their flares studied by NASA missions
October 27, 2015 07:48 PM - NASA JPL - California Institute of Technology
The baffling and strange behaviors of black holes have become somewhat less mysterious recently, with new observations from NASA's Explorer missions Swift and the Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array, or NuSTAR. The two space telescopes caught a supermassive black hole in the midst of a giant eruption of X-ray light, helping astronomers address an ongoing puzzle: How do supermassive black holes flare?
The results suggest that supermassive black holes send out beams of X-rays when their surrounding coronas -- sources of extremely energetic particles -- shoot, or launch, away from the black holes.
"This is the first time we have been able to link the launching of the corona to a flare," said Dan Wilkins of Saint Mary's University in Halifax, Canada, lead author of a new paper on the results appearing in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society. "This will help us understand how supermassive black holes power some of the brightest objects in the universe."

Cracking the Kagan code
If the greatest virtue a Supreme Court nominee can possess is the lack of a paper trail, then Elena Kagan – whom President Obama will reportedly tap as early as Monday – would be a veritable saint. Not only does her lack of judicial experience mean she hasn't penned a single decision, law professor Paul Campos points out just how little she wrote as an academic: "three scholarly articles, two shorter essays, two brief book reviews, and two other minor pieces." Even this scant record leaves little clues about her thinking, he writes.
A nominee, even one who has never been a judge, doesn't have to be a graphomaniac, but Kagan's publications consist largely of cautious descriptions and categorizations of current legal doctrines. And, quite self-consciously, they lack almost any critical component.
SCOTUSblog's Tom Goldstein, who has been supportive of Kagan, describes her as "extraordinarily – almost artistically – careful" about her views of constitutional law, managing to avoid taking any definitive positions even in conversation. The simple, empirical fact is that there's very little evidence available for the public to understand her outlook on the Constitution. Should Obama choose Kagan to replace Justice John Paul Stevens, she can remain a blank slate because the mechanism for public investigation of a nominee – the confirmation hearing – has been reduced to a venue for absurdist performance art.
Kagan knows this as well as anyone. While a law professor at the University of Chicago, she took the summer of 1993 off to help the Senate Judiciary Committee prepare for then-Circuit Judge Ruth Bader Ginsburg's confirmation hearing. Those proceedings saw the debut of what's come to be known as the "Ginsburg Rule" – the nominee's right to pass on any question about a case or issue they might later rule on. Drawing on her experience, Kagan wrote about the devolution of the confirmation process in a 1995 book review.
Subsequent hearings [following Robert Bork's in 1987] have presented to the public a vapid and hollow charade, in which repetition of platitudes has replaced discussion of viewpoints and personal anecdotes have supplanted legal analysis. Such hearings serve little educative function, except perhaps to reinforce lessons of cynicism that citizens often glean from government. Neither can such hearings contribute toward an evaluation of the Court and a determination whether the nominee would make it a better or worse institution. A process so empty may seem ever so tidy – muted, polite, and restrained – but all that good order comes at great cost. [emphasis added]
Kagan argued that senators should not accept nominees' evasion of substantive questions. Unfortunately, that has proven a difficult challenge in the Supreme Court hearings since her evaluation of the so-called confirmation mess. Senator Chuck Schumer expressed his frustration at this institutionalized avoidance during his 2005 questioning of Chief Justice John Roberts:
Let me just say, sir, in all due respect – and I respect your intelligence and your career and your family – this process is getting a little more absurd the further we move.
You agree we should be finding out your philosophy and method of legal reasoning, modesty, stability, but when we try to find out what modesty and stability mean, what your philosophy means, we don't get any answers.
It's as if I asked you: What kind of movies do you like? Tell me two or three good movies. And you say, "I like movies with good acting. I like movies with good directing. I like movies with good cinematography."
And I ask you, "No, give me an example of a good movie." You don't name one. I say, "Give me an example of a bad movie."
You won't name one. Then I ask you if you like "Casablanca," and you respond by saying, "Lots of people like 'Casablanca.'" You tell me it's widely settled that "Casablanca" is one of the great movies.
For the record, Roberts said he's a fan of "Dr. Zhivago" and "North by Northwest." Otherwise, he remained ever the artful dodger.
Should Obama choose Kagan, she will undoubtedly face tough questions about her opposition to allowing military recruiters on campus when she was the dean of Harvard Law School. There may even be a meta-moment if she's asked about her unsparing critique of confirmation hearings during her own confirmation hearing. But if she chooses to deploy the Ginsburg Rule to avoid substantive questions about her views of constitutional law, those views will remain a mystery. It would be up to her, really.
