Kremlings by AlexanderHendersonWatch
©2011-2016 AlexanderHenderson
After finishing the Donkey Kong drawing, I still felt like working with digital rendering, so in keeping with my old theme I made this drawing.
I've never played the newer DK games (I've only played the original on the Atari 7800 [I'm really showing my age! LOL!])
Nice job!
Nice job!
Wow, this is awesome!
I find it hilarious how you made K. Rool so teeny tiny, considering he's twice as big as DK.
Fantastic and fabulous artwork, brillhant Kremlings.
Thank you very much, they're fun to draw. I think I probably have some newer ones of these guys lying around my gallery somewhere.
Donkey Kong Country Returns was a fair game but let's face it, it's not completely Donkey Kong without the Kremlings. I mean, yeah I don't mind seeing new enemies but keep the famous ones in there as well. To me King K. Rool is Donkey Kong's equivalent to Mario's Bowser. Nice work by the way, love it.
Thank you very much. I actually really love the new game, even though I preferred the older enemies. This one just took everything about the first few games that made the gameplay good and took it to the next level. I think I just liked that the original villains had more personality, nothing against the tikis but they felt a little generic. I think they did a better job with the villains in Tropical Freeze, since they all look like they have a range personalities.
Nice pic.
KLUMP, NOOOOOO-*grenade explodes*
Cool, appealing caricatures. Retro were wrong to butt them off for Donkey Kong's reboot (I hate when companies pull that kind of crap, deciding that stable enemies that are an integral part of the series' lore are less important than "change").
Thanks, I'm glad you like them. And yea, I was kind of bummed that they didn't make it into the new one, I've got nothing against the new guys, they were really cool too, but I hope these guys come back someday. But the game was amazing anyway so I won't complain. And the artic guys in the new one look pretty fun too.
WOW I loved this style, Gorgeous drawing. King K.rool is with a funny face ^^
what program are you using? i love how your shadowing and lighting turns out in your colored illustrations. is it just photoshop? or something else?
i want krusha in the next one!!!!
Man that is awesome! I hope K rool will be in the next smash bros...
I "Phil" good!
I "Phil" good!
These were my favorite villains of all times! I love your take on them!
Love the fan art. I hope to see them again.
I abslotuely love this guys!!! Veeeeeery good job!!
Lovely work. You've given the characters pots of personality, and the colouring is tremendously snazzy - it really does look like it was painted on paper.
Nintendo really ought to stick these guys back in the DK games. They're such entertainingly goofy villains.

Thanks, and I agree, Nintendo has to put them back in the games. As much as I love Donkey Kong Country Returns, I was so disappointed that these guys weren't the villains.
oh hey xD now i know where u got that avatar from they all look so bad ass xD army men
And again ! , Your Drawing style was sooo great ! , I Rweally like this thing ! , Oh my god !
XD this is adroable, I love your style, it's so cartoonish!
I love your take on these guys! Especially Klump
hehehe actually it was a funy detail that he detonates the grenade for his stupidity xD there´s always a smartass on the team
hahaha *grenade xplodes and 3 gators fly through the airs* look it´s a bird, no it´s an airplane... nooo is just a bunch of idiots!!! xD
Oh my. This is simply fantastic. I've always loved these guys and this made my day. Especially Krusha, his fierce yet cross-eyed expression is just cracking me up!
Thanks, glad you like it. I actually tried a couple of variations on his expression before I settled on that one.
Sry but this is juts pure amazing!...thank you so much X3
LOL K Rool's all short and fat xD! I love it.
wha ha ha sweet
Awesome pic.

The Franklin College men's basketball team saw its season end in a 78-70 loss at Hanover in the first round of the Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference Tournament on Tuesday.
Hanover (18-8) led 50-35 with 15:31 left before Franklin (10-16) mounted a second-half charge. The Panthers held a 57-44 advantage following a 3-point field goal by Ethan Black with 9:40 left.
Franklin went on a 15-6 run over the next five minutes to trim the deficit to four points, 63-59. Later, a 3-pointer by sophomore Trae Washington got the Grizzlies within 64-62 at the 4:01 mark.
Following missed shots by Hanover on its next two offensive possessions, Franklin was unable to answer to tie or take the lead. Trailing 68-64 in the final minute, the Panthers connected on all 12 free-throw attempts to secure the victory. Hanover made 19 of 21 free-throw attempts for the game.
Hanover used a 13-4 run during the final 6:09 of the first half to build a 10-point halftime advantage, 41-31.
The Panthers, the No. 3 seed, advance to the semifinals against No. 2-seed Defiance College on Friday.
Franklin senior Bailey Howard led four double-figure scorers with 17 points. He capped his career with 1,439 points, ranking 13th in program history. Washington added 16 points, while senior Terry Sargent and sophomore Dion Smith each scored 12.
Tuesday's game concluded the careers of seniors J.T. Barton, Troy Porter, Howard and Sargent.
Hanover's V.J. Billups scored a game-high 18 points. Tim Bass added 16 points.

ACLU Suit Challenges Internet Blocking Programs. [American Civil Liberties Union].
Fratt, Lisa, District Administration
A lawsuit will determine if school leaders can evaluate certain Internet blocking programs to determine which program comes closest to meeting their district's needs.
"Current copyright law and blocking software licenses prevent consumers from looking under the hood of the blocking products they buy," says Anne Beeson, litigation director of the American Civil Liberties Union Technology and Liberty Program. Beeson is lead counsel in Edelman v. N2H2 Inc., which was recently filed in federal court in Massachusetts. Software programs such as N2H2 are used to prevent students from accessing inappropriate Web sites.
In the lawsuit, the ACLU contends that Benjamin Edelman, a computer researcher, has First Amendment and "fair use" rights to examine and share the full list of sites contained in N2H2 Internet blocking program. The lawsuit challenges provisions of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 19 9 8 and the non-negotiable N2H2 license, which restricts buyers from accessing the list of blocked sites.
For schools to receive certain federal funds and discounts, such as E-rate, the Children's Internet Protection Act requires schools to use blocking software to restrict student access to Web sites that are "harmful to minors. …

This comic *A* I LOVE IT
"double-entendre" ? c'est du français ou de l'anglais ça ? Oo
It sounds like the master card commercial but only with time instead of money xD ahahhaa
Aren't hippies vegetarians or into organic food?
the ones that are vegetarians are from the first genration of the 60's and 70's. Even then not all hippies were vegetarians.
omg this is so me and my friends
sounds like a MasterCard commercial
Rommie rocks!
Three hours to get her dressed, and one comic strip to go back nekid <3
God bless Roomie
XD very nice!
Reminds me of my family and friends.
That must be some kind of record... not for Roomie though of course.
I think I'm in love with this comic. Awesome work.

Any fellow cd moms use a ppb touring tote diaper bag??? I'm wanting one, but wondering how it will cloth.
Touring tote Diaper bag..

It would only work for quick trips. I had one & sold it because there was NO way I could do it with cloth. I have a boxy that is perfect & also had a sashay that worked well. As much as I love PPB prints I've settled on a JJB & am selling the PPB-they just work better for my needs.
Last edited 01/08/2013
yup. i have one and used it as my main diaper bag bescause i despise giant bags (they hurt my back and make me look short) and i like the crossbody style. i could fit 2-3 dipes (trim ones), sippy cup, snacks, wetbag and wipes but it was pretty full after that, when i went for big outings i'd have my wetbag full of dipes in the car or stroller and used the bag for all the other stuff i needed.
I don't get 'drunk' I get less classy and more fun
Posted 01/08/2013
I just got one. It's any early birthday present. :) It is smaller than I thought it would be but I LOVE the print/fabric. I got it in elderberry. I think it'll work for everyday outings. But it's probably too small if we were going to be out all day and away from the car.
I got the pudding!
Posted 01/09/2013
I have one and really like it. Can fit max 3 cd's, wipes, spray bottle of wipe solution, change of clothes, burp towel, small waterproof pad to lay down over their changing pad, and what else? I'm prob forgetting something. I got the tote and a larger bag on their outlet site and spent less than purchasing a decent size bag at full price, so I was able to get both. If we were going to be out all day or overnight I'd use the larger bag.
And the fabric on both bags is what ppb calls glazed cotton so it's totally wipeable when dirty so I don't worry about setting the bag down, etc. I love it!

I have one & love it but it is my everyday bag/purse. For longer outings use a bigger tote but for day to day I love it. I also love the different strap options. Especially the cross body & the stroller clips. It was bigger then I expected & I love all the interior pockets. The changing pad it comes with is small but not a big deal!

Finally, The Physics Of The Ponytail Explained
Scientists in Britain have been trying to determine whether the shape of a ponytail can be deduced from the properties of a single hair. Host Scott Simon talks with Weekend Edition Math Guy Keith Devlin about a new, soon-to-be-published study that has the answer.
There's an article by three British scientists in the scientific journal Physical Review Letters that says, in part: A general continuum theory for the distribution of hairs in a bundle is developed treating individual fibers as elastic filaments with random intrinsic curvatures, applying this formalism to the iconic problem of the ponytail. The iconic problems of the ponytail? Where's the problem? Who better to explain than our math guy, Keith Devlin of Stanford University?
Keith, this is for real?
KEITH DEVLIN, BYLINE: Yeah, this one caught my eye, too, Scott. I couldn't believe it. Two of the authors are actually classical, sort of research mathematicians and scientists - one at the University of Cambridge, one at Warwick University. The third author is a research scientist at Unilever.
And, of course, Unilever makes hair care products. And we're talking about a $40 billion global market in shampoos and conditioners. So they got some mathematicians to come up with a mathematical formula to understand how to make more attractive ponytails so that the ponytail curves around in a beautiful, sexy, attractive arc, rather than just hanging limply. That's a $40 billion question.
SIMON: Keith, is there something to be learned here that pertains to something other than ponytails?
DEVLIN: Yeah, a ponytail is just made up of many individual hair fibers. So the mathematical question is: how does the shape of that fiber bundle derive from the individual properties of the fibers. Now, there's lots of other things that are made up of fibers. There's fiber optic cables, which are of major importance now in communications transmission. The cables that hold up suspension bridges consist of many strands of steel that are bundled together.
So we're talking about mathematics that holds up the Golden Gate Bridge, mathematics that tells us how fiber optic cables behave when they're twisted and bent through conduits. So this is actually much more than a question about hairstyle.
SIMON: So what's the key to having a fuller, flouncier ponytail, mathematically speaking?
DEVLIN: I guess Unilever would like the answer to be: we buy their products. But it comes down to those three factors of the individual hairs that are important. One is its elasticity, one is its density, and one is its curliness. Now, Unilever can't do much about the density, but they could make products that affect the elasticity and the curliness. And so they now know with some accuracy how to affect individual hairs so that the ponytail that someone puts together looks more attractive.
SIMON: Keith, we've known each other for a few years. I'm just going to bet that you're the kind of guy out there in the Bay Area who at one or more points in your life had a ponytail.
DEVLIN: I did. It was a fairly short stubby one. So I wouldn't have benefited from this mathematics.
DEVLIN: I never got one of those long ones which would've actually been beneficial - which would've benefited by this new mathematical formula.
SIMON: Keith Devlin, our math guy - I can't believe it, our math guy - speaking with us from the studios of Stanford University.
Thanks, Keith.
DEVLIN: My pleasure, Scott.

On J. J. Abrams Directing Star Wars VII
Like many Star Wars geeks, I waited and waited to find out who would direct Star Wars VII for Disney. When I heard J. J. Abrams got the job, I nearly fainted.
OK, that is an exaggeration. I was happy with the choice. Abrams was on my director wish-list for Star Wars VII, although probably at about number four or so.
My director wish list went like this:
- Joss Whedon (Avengers, Serenity)
- Brad Bird (Iron Giant, Incredibles, Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol)
- Guillermo del Torro (Pan's Labyrinth, Pacific Rim)
- J. J. Abrams (Star Trek)
- Duncan Jones (Moon)
Abrams is a good choice.
His other films are solid, regardless of what some folks might think of Star Trek or Super 8. From a filmmaking point, Abrams does great work and Super 8 was one of my favorite films of 2011.
I enjoyed Star Trek, and I understand the criticism that it was not a 'true' Star Trek film—but when you start from scratch, you really have to hit the ground running and blow people away. Star Trek accomplished such a thing, and it got folks interested in the franchise again, which was the studio's goal. Plus, Star Trek had a fair amount of physical sets instead of an overuse of green screen.
If Abrams can bring the charm, whimsy, and action he had with Star Trek and Super 8 to Star Wars VII, it should succeed how Disney wants: get people interested in the franchise again–mainly the core fans of the original trilogy scared away by the prequels and the ::shudder:: Special Edition releases.
Folks can pretend Hollywood isn't a business all they want, but let's face facts: films, even those as beloved as Star Wars, are a business move. A film is an investment, and Disney wants a good return on its investment.
J. J. Abrams directing Star Wars VII was an excellent business decision for Disney, plain and simple.
Honestly, I am more excited about the writers working on the film, especially Lawrence Kasdan being brought on as a consultant. Kasdan wrote the screenplays for Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi, and Raiders of the Lost Ark to name only a few.
On the other side of this conversation, there is room for concern.
Look at Disney's recent attempt to resurrect another old franchise: TRON: Legacy. That could have went…better.
But, in fairness, TRON isn't exactly Star Wars. However, many would say the Star Wars prequels weren't exactly Star Wars either.
So, really, could Abrams do any worse than the prequels? I doubt it. He honestly has nowhere to go but up.
Or rather, to a galaxy far, far away–filled with all kinds of crazy lens flare. AWWW YEAH
I love me some lens flare.
And on a side note, I will be curious to see what Stephanie thinks of this new trilogy. Her observations on the original Star Wars trilogy were highly entertaining.

I was profiling my Cuda 4 program and it turned out that at some stage the running process used over 80 GiB of virtual memory. That was a lot more than I would have expected. After examining the evolution of the memory map over time and comparing what line of code it is executing it turned out that after these simple instructions the virtual memory usage bumped up to over 80 GiB:
int deviceCount;
if (deviceCount == 0) {
perror("No devices supporting CUDA");
Clearly, this is the first Cuda call, thus the runtime got initialized. After this the memory map looks like (truncated):
Address Kbytes RSS Dirty Mode Mapping
0000000000400000 89796 14716 0 r-x-- prg
0000000005db1000 12 12 8 rw--- prg
0000000005db4000 80 76 76 rw--- [ anon ]
0000000007343000 39192 37492 37492 rw--- [ anon ]
0000000200000000 4608 0 0 ----- [ anon ]
0000000200480000 1536 1536 1536 rw--- [ anon ]
0000000200600000 83879936 0 0 ----- [ anon ]
Now with this huge memory area mapped into virtual memory space.
Okay, its maybe not a big problem since reserving/allocating memory in Linux doesn't do much unless you actually write to this memory. But it's really annoying since for example MPI jobs have to be specified with the maximum amount of vmem usable by the job. And 80GiB that's s just a lower boundary then for Cuda jobs - one has to add all other stuff too.
I can imagine that it has to do with the so-called scratch space that Cuda maintains. A kind of memory pool for kernel code that can dynamically grow and shrink. But that's speculation. Also it's allocated in device memory.
Any insights?

All the Way Rider
Spending a good deal of 2007 recording The Eagle's Revenge, an expansive and melodic full-length that takes wing tonight at the Triple Rock, and paring their lineup from a quartet to a trio in March 2008, local rock solids All the Way Rider have had a big year. Composed of track after track of pounding and organic rock, tonight's release breathes like an iron lung. Singer and guitarist Jeremy Jessen punctuates the songs with a plaintive top register wail that reaches without overreaching, and the band's songwriting is equally comfortable with melody and anti-melody, exhibited by Eagle's penchant for grinding into jagged edges at a moment's notice. They never stay in the pungi pit too long to endanger their pop listenability, but All the Way Rider's sense of adventure gives their new songs the dimension they need to cast a good shadow. With Sunday Flood, Redoverlunar, and Torch the Spires. 21+.

CAFC Decides Akamai v Limelight–Holds For Infringement By Limelight–Defines Criteria For Directing And Controlling Customers' Performance
In Akami Technologies v. Limelight Networks, App. No. 2009-1372, -1380, -1416, -1417 (Fed. Cir., August 13, 2015), the court, sitting en banc after a remand from the S. Ct., set out the requirements for direct infringement involving acts by two or more parties under s. 271(a). The unanimous ruling held that an entity is responsible for others' performance of method steps (1) where that entity directs or controls the acts of another, or (2) where the actors form a joint enterprise. (A copy of this decision is found at the end of this post.)
The court explained:
"… we have held that an actor is liable for infringement under s. 271(a) if it acts through an agent … or contracts with another to perform one or more steps of a claimed method. See BMC, 498 F.3d at 1380-81. We conclude, on the facts of this case, that liability….can also be found when an alleged infringer conditions participation in an activity or receipt of a benefit upon performance of a step or steps of a patented method and establishes the manner or timing of that performance…. In those instances, the third party's actions are attributed to the alleged infringer such that the alleged infringer becomes the single actor chargeable with direct infringement."

Forrest's Testimony: "Creationism" and "ID"
Here are the now-famous word-count charts used by Barbara Forrest in her testimony in Kitzmiller v. Dover. These charts showed that the words "creation" and "creationist" were systematically changed to "intelligent design" and "design proponent" in the drafts for the book Of Pandas and People, in the aftermath of the 1987 Supreme Court case Edwards v. Aguillard .
Click the images for an enlarged view:
Creationism and the Law
Legal challenges to anti-evolution policies began with the Scopes Trial of 1925, a case the evolution advocates actually lost.
Since 1968, however, U.S. courts have consistently held that "creationism" is a particular religious viewpoint and that teaching it in public schools would violate the First Amendment of the Constitution.

The Wedge Document
(Note - This is the text of the Discovery Institute's "Wedge Document," prepared in 1998. It lays out "the Wedge strategy" by which the newly-formed Center for Renewal of Science and Culture would promote "intelligent design" creationism.)
"Cdesign Proponentsists"
For years, "intelligent design" (ID) proponents denied that ID is just a new label for creationism. However, it is now well-known that the first intelligent design "textbook," Of Pandas and People, is just a revised version of a classic "two-model' creationism vs. evolution book named Creation Biology.

Ten Major Court Cases about Evolution and Creationism
(updated 7/31/07)
by Molleen Matsumura & Louise Mead
The Creation/Evolution Continuum
by Eugenie C. Scott
Many — if not most — Americans think of the creation and evolution controversy as a dichotomy with "creationists" on one side, and "evolutionists" on the other. This assumption all too often leads to the unfortunate conclusion that because creationists are believers in God, that evolutionists must be atheists. The true situation is much more complicated: creationism comes in many forms, and not all of them reject evolution.

Cascadia Investments's shares have skyrocketed, but it spends less on developing software than someone is spending to pump up the stock.
February was a spectacular month for an unspectacular company called Cascadia Investments.
Its share price more than tripled, inflating the Tacoma company's market capitalization to $57 million. The stock has rocketed from two-tenths of a penny six months ago to 27.5 cents on Friday — a prodigious 13,750 percent increase — as cheerleaders on Web message boards and Twitter talked up Cascadia's switch from real-estate investments to Internet games.
Those anonymous enthusiasts, be they actual stockholders or paid shills, surely haven't visited its corporate headquarters — a frumpy one-room office with no company sign, just a yellow placard on the window sill that advertises "The cheapest rentals."
And it's unlikely those boosters have examined its skimpy, unaudited financial statements, which are not filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
- Power restored after major, hour-long outage in downtown Seattle
- Trump, Clinton win Washington state primary
- Designed in Seattle, this $1 cup could save millions of babies
- Seattle's vanishing black community
- Boeing plans hundreds of layoffs in local IT unit

While someone paid a stock promoter more than $10,000 for a campaign touting Cascadia's stock, its financials show that in the latest quarter the company only spent a $4,620 on its Internet business.
But on the bottom rung of the over-the-counter market known as the Pink Sheets, where Cascadia trades under the ticker symbol CDIV, none of that seems to matter.
Cascadia Investments (no relation to Bill Gates' investment firm Cascade Investments) has issued a blizzard of news releases since last summer about buying or licensing online games and Web sites.
CEO Nazir Maherali said this past week that the company's approach is "to acquire or work with developers who have interesting ideas or Web sites, and put a little bit of our expertise and financial resources to bring them to fruition."
That grand description, however, bears little resemblance to the picture drawn by the company's financial statements, which show that in the second half of 2009, the expenses of its "Internet division" were only $10,620.
Cascadia's total revenues for that period, including those from its remaining real estate, were $61,351. Its "financial resources" amounted to $4,694 in cash at year-end. (No, there are no missing zeros.)
Its Web properties are no more impressive.
A site it debuted in June — ticktweet.com, described as a weekly investment competition conducted via Twitter — hasn't posted any winners since August. "We put that on hold" after not finding any sponsors, said Maherali.
Last month it announced two more deals. One was "a majority stake" in customflashgames.com and a "marketplace" where outside developers can sell casual games. But most of that market's 19 categories are empty, and its two games were developed internally.
The other was an "exclusive licensing agreement" on another company's Facebook application for virtual pets, called AdoptMe. Facebook, which claims 400 million active users, reports the AdoptMe application has just 578.
Maherali declined to say which of the company's half-dozen initiatives are most promising. "Some of the sites we're rejigging a bit," he said. "We're building up a user base, we're not focused on revenue."
With 207 million shares outstanding, Cascadia's market capitalization has pushed up to that of some Washington companies that may be damaged but nonetheless run a real business, such as Cardiac Science, which has annual sales of about $150 million, or Banner Bancorporation, which has 80-plus branches in three states.
Cascadia's limited financial information isn't available on its own Web site or from the SEC, only from the operator of the Pink Sheets online marketplace, Pink OTC Markets. And those filings lack crucial data such as who owns major chunks of the company.
Maherali said 147 million shares are restricted as insider stock, mostly belonging to him, and "I have not sold anything."
Maherali, who used to work in the British Columbia small-cap stock world, said in a telephone interview that he doesn't know why Cascadia's stock has climbed so rapidly in recent weeks: "I can't comment on the price of the stock, the daily machinations of the market."
Later, approached at his office, he offered a brief explanation before declining to answer further questions. "It's basically a short squeeze, that's what people are telling me."
That echoes a refrain by the online boosters. They say that short sellers (who borrow shares and sell them, expecting the price will drop before they must settle their obligation) are now desperate to buy the stock of Cascadia before it climbs further.
Again, Cascadia's numbers don't bear that out. According to Pink OTC's latest data, as of Feb. 12 only about 100,000 shares were sold short, a paltry amount compared to daily trading volume that averaged nearly 1.8 million shares.
A more plausible explanation is that paid online cheerleading has lifted the stock. stockmarketinginc.com, just one of the stock sites or newsletters that have pitched Cascadia heavily since January, acknowledges it was paid $10,000 and 350,000 shares by an unidentified third party.
That kind of money may not buy much software development, but it does buy some pretty effective hype.
Microsoft looms
large in Bellevue
Everyone knows Microsoft is a major presence in downtown Bellevue. Charlie Malley, a vice president at Pacific Real Estate Partners, offered perspective on just how big at the brokerage's annual dinner and investment forum Tuesday. The total office-vacancy rate in downtown Bellevue is about 15 percent. If Microsoft left, Malley said, around 30 percent.
The software giant has moved into downtown Bellevue in a big way since 2006, leasing a total of 1.6 million square feet in Lincoln Square, The Bravern and City Center Plaza.
When Microsoft speaks, the Eastside office market listens, Malley suggested: "Other large tenants are really there because of Microsoft. If they grow, the market grows. If they shrink, God help us all."

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A Ukrainian hockey coach charged with fondling a teen player in Philadelphia is due in court Friday.
Federal authorities will seek to detain 48-year-old Ivan (ee-VAHN') Pravilov (PRAH'-vuh-lahv).
They say he threatened a witness.
An indictment Thursday charges Pravilov with taking a 14-year-old Ukrainian boy from Delaware to the coach's Philadelphia apartment this month and fondling him.
Public defender Mark Wilson isn't commenting on the charges until the detention hearing.
Pravilov is in the United States on a work visa despite a 2007 Interpol warrant for his arrest over a fight in the Ukraine.
His young players stay with host families while they train in the U.S.
A recent book by former player Maxim Starchenko describes the coach as physically, mentally and sexually abusive.

We could go on any part of the city, any building, any area. Pick any car, throw it around from height or throw it on height. We can kill any person, infected, soldier or civilian. We can even consume them to look like them or to read their memories. It was awesome game. I am planning to play the second game in the series when I get time sooner or later. Can anyone who has played this game tell me how it is, is it good or is it better than previous one?

Chapel Newsletter Editorial
Spring 2016
Welcoming our First Muslim Chaplain in 150 Years
In the College's sesquicentennial and the Chapel's centennial year, I am very pleased to announce that Ailya Vajid will join us part time in spring term as our first Associate Chaplain for Muslim and Interfaith Life. Ailya comes to us from working at Swarthmore College as the Muslim Student Advisor, having received an MA from Harvard Divinity School and a BA from Swarthmore. She is commuting from St. Peter, MN, where she lives with her family. Through her weekly visits to campus this fall and winter, she has already proven her abilities to connect well with students, faculty, and staff of all backgrounds and perspectives. It is a true joy to have Ailya on the "Chapel team."
Ailya's presence here comes at an important time. Some of our Muslim students report receiving more anti-Muslim comments on campus than has been the case in past years. No doubt, a few attitudes have been influenced by national and international rhetoric. Supporting our Muslim community and helping the campus to learn more about Islam will be part of Ailya's work.
We continue also to try to improve the campus climate for people of all religious or spiritual identities. Although about 50% of the student body claims a religious perspective, many students feel that they need to hide their religious identity because someone may assume that they are not very smart. But faith and learning should not be "either/or" propositions—they are "both/and." Learning can inform faith, and faith can deepen reason. Together, the head and the heart help us find meaning in our lives.
Please join me in welcoming Ailya to Carleton as we strive to build an inclusive community for all.
Carolyn Fure-Slocum, College Chaplain

Under what I consider normal braking the fork on my San Jose flexes visibly and under hard braking it does it so badly that the tire actually bounces off the ground on level pavement.
Has anyone else experienced this?
I bought the bike from a guy who got it as a commuter and then decided that the single-speed thing wasn't for him. It was in good condition, low miles and completely stock. The brakes are set up properly and the headset is in good shape with no indexing or lateral play.
I took it to the local dealer (Ozone Bikes) where one of the mechanics looked at it (but did not ride it), pronounced it fine and said I needed to "feather" the front brake and use more rear brake. I found this both amusing and insulting since he had not ridden the bike nor seen how I ride. It was also unhelpful.
Next I went to my regular shop (The Peddler). There one of the mechanics rode it, put it on a stand to check the brake set up, rode it again, put it back in the stand to disassemble, lube and reassemble the front brakes, rode it again and then recommended I replace the fork.

Swindon man attacked in 'homophobic' hate crime
Post your comment
Comments on this article are now closed.
Reader comments
Poor man – the worst I've had is a bit of shouting in the street, and one guy who came and actually kicked the front door. He has my sympathy.
These people are neanderthals who do not belong in a civilised society!!!!
Another example which shows why we must never rest or become complacent in our fight for full freedom, equality & respect…there remains a large number of people who would be happy if all gay people were killed.
this is why we have to be ever vigilant
Another homophobic attack that happening right accross the UK! Why is this a 'rare' attack in Swindon according to Police? It's only rare if the community which they serve does'nt have faith to report such incidents to police in the first place! Good that this attack has been reported,but how many have not?
Perhaps nows the time for Swindon Police to re connect with the communities they serve!
Does not surprise me one bit that something like this would happen in Swindon. The Old Town and town centre areas are prime hang-out spots for drunken thugs.
And this whole thing about the police claiming Swindon to be so safe… I once lived in a scummy little Hertfordshire town named Hatfield, while I was attending university. After a violent attack was reported in the news, the local police claimed that Hatfield is usually such a safe place. It is not. Many areas of the town were virtually no-go areas after dark – plenty of nasty thugs and criminals in that town. Racist white youths, as well, which was very problematic for a good deal of the university students, seeing as how the University of Hertfordshire has the highest amount of foreign students in the country (honestly, how can anybody, even knuckle-dragging uber-nationalists, be so stupid as to hate people who are bringing money into the country?).
Moral of that story is that when the police say "it's a safe town", they might, just might, have meant "everyone's so scared of this place that they live as virtual prisoners in their homes after certain hours for fear of assault or robbery". The situation's not quite so bad in Swindon as it was in Hatfield, but that's because Hatfield was a very small town – in Swindon the thugs are more spread out. Still, I would NEVER walk through the town centre by myself at night.
swindon is a very anti gay town i have lived here all my life and ive had to move around the borough 9 times because of thugs making my life hell,no matter where you go they seem to know who you are and you dont feel safe,every day someone seems to have to make a comment about your sexuality and try and bring you down because of it and i dont understand why because who gives them the right to judge me as i dont even know them but they still do judge no matter what so ive learnt to live with it untill the day comes when we can be safe walking the streets as we should be able to like all the other people do and not be made to feel like some sort of freak of nature!

Vt. town removing asbestos from old schoolThe Associated Press | September 06,2013WEATHERSFIELD - Officials say about two-thirds of asbestos and other hazardous materials have been removed from an old school complex in Vermont.
Multiple wings in the old Weathersfield Elementary School in Perkinsville on Route 106 have been cleared of asbestos.
The original school was constructed in 1879. Additions from the 1950s and 1960s will eventually be torn down.
The Eagle Times reported that on Town Meeting Day in March, Weathersfield voters approved an article to borrow up to $225,000 to remove any hazardous materials in the building and demolish the undesired additions while saving the 1879-built schoolhouse.

Windforge (PC) - ReviewVGChartz Staff, posted on 13 April 2014 / 1,875 Views
It's always an exciting moment in gaming when a unique genre comes to the forefront. There's been a trend over the last few years towards games that focus on crafting. It started with a really ground-breaking game (it had something to do with Mining and Crafting, but you probably didn't hear about it). It was then followed by a slew of games inspired by the same concept (Terraria, Don't Starve, Starbound, Rust, Epic Inventor - throw a rock at Kickstarter and you'll likely hit another half a dozen). When I learned about another game that made use of this crafting mechanic, but which also combined it with a Contra-style shooting mechanic, it sounded to be a match made in heaven. Enter Windforge.
The crafting system - the springboard for most of the game - is pretty run-of-the-mill. It's nothing you haven't seen in something like Terraria. However, where this becomes a problem is that Windforge doesn't have as plentiful or available resources as Terraria. For example, say I'm playing Terraria and I need copper. I'd simply go to a mine, and if for some reason I don't have a mine or there's not one close by, I could just start digging on the spot and there's a pretty good chance that I would run into either A) a copper vein or B) a series of caverns from which I can burrow deeper into the earth and perhaps find the copper. In Windforge, the whole game world consists of a series of islands in the sky. This means that if you need copper and you just start digging away, then you run a pretty good chance of digging through to the other side of the island and potential falling to your doom.
Furthermore, even if you're just looking for a copper vein in the rock, for example, you'll never know if you're getting close to one or not until you actually bump into it, because Windforge uses a tricky line of site system where everything looks homogeneous until you burrow into it. This mechanic is actually kind of neat when you're pushing your way through a dungeon, but when you're looking for resources in the ground it just makes life miserable.
As for the 'Contra-style' combat; the shooting controls are not as intuitive as you might like. You move with traditional WASD controls and you shoot with the mouse. This works great if you're standing still, but if you're getting shot at, you'll want to jump and dodge and move around. However, if you jump, the whole screen moves, which throws your aim off. You'll move the mouse to correct your aim mid-jump, but that will usually cause you to over-correct. It eventually got to the point where in order to ensure that I would hit my target I would either have to be within point-blank range or resolve myself to taking some hits. This makes Windforge's dungeons nearly unbearable.
As an avid and life-long RPG player, I love expansive, developed worlds that allow you to get caught up in exploring. With Windforge, however, I didn't feel like I had been given a massive and varied playground to explore; I felt more like I'd been dropped in a desert and told to trudge my way across it. The world of Windforge is divided up into 3 Zones, with each Zone being divided up into roughly 30 sectors. Each sector looks just like the last - same background, same enemies, and the same islands. And each sector takes around a minute to cross, although if you're going full speed you can make it in 20 seconds, but then the odds are pretty good that once you change over to the next sector you'll slam into an island that you have no way to prepare for (this happened to me more often than not). The repetitiveness is made all the more grating thanks to the apparent lack of fast-travel.
The dungeons are an extension of this: massive dungeons that seem to go on forever, all the while looking identical. They're packed with more of the enemies that you've already been battling as well as massive, devastating turrets. The turrets feel like they've been added in order to play up to the title's Contra leanings but they take an awful lot of ammo to destroy and, especially early in the game, hit really hard. What I ended up doing more often than not was trying to drill into the wall behind them and hit them with my jackhammer, thus making them explode without giving them a chance to hit me. That does bring me to a positive aspect of the game's design - the walls of the dungeons are made of natural stone, so it's possible (and even sometimes necessary) to drill through the walls of dungeons, which plays with the classical notion of "clearing out a dungeon."
Windforge's dungeons feature boss battles. The first boss that I encountered was a massive demon hovering in a room so large that when I dropped through the ceiling I immediately fell to my death.
–Load my last Save-
This time I lower myself into the room using my grappling hook, find a ledge I can stand on, and start shooting the Demon. He's strong enough that he kills me pretty handily without appearing to take too much damage and I notice that he can ram through the walls of the dungeon. Interesting.
–Load my last save-
This time I'm ready; I open his room, goad him into a fight, and start fleeing my way back through the dungeon. I hit a dead end and, before I can drill a hole in the wall I wind up dead.
–Load my last save-
This time I cut myself a loose escape route before I start the fight so that once I call the demon out I have a dedicated route to take. I still die - multiple times - but I finally have a plan that seems like it's eventually going to work. After about five more attempts I finally kill the boss and grab the tablet. Nice. However, now the temple starts falling down around me. Chunks are falling from the ceiling and the walls are turning to sand, making them harder to drill through or grapple hook onto. I die pretty swiftly.
–Load my last save-
So I decide that I need to beat the boss near a persistent piece of earth that won't crumble. After another five or so tries I accomplish this, and as the temple crumbles, I grapple my way to the top of the right-side of a cliff face. The problem with that is that I had previously parked my ship on the left side of the temple, so I'm stuck half a sector away from my ship with a crumbling temple in my way. I don't think I can make it across, but I try anyway, and curse myself for being right.
-Load my last save-
So not only do I need to be near the edge of the temple - I need to be near the left edge of the temple in order to get out of this unscathed. I eventually manage to pull this off, but the tablet ended up landing just inside the dungeon.
-Load my last save-
Same plan as before, except this time, by the time I reach the entrance of the dungeon, I haven't yet killed the Demon. I keep firing shots at him as I head towards my ship, but this isn't necessarily a bad thing because my ship has a big machine gun mounted to the side of it which is much bigger than the one I'm carrying. I get into the ship and start firing at him, but he does enough damage to my ship that he pops my zeppelin balloon and I start to drop rapidly. I have a repair wrench that I can use to repair said balloon and the rest of my ship, but when I disengage the ship's control panel, I fly out of the open door and fall 3 whole sectors to my death (which meant roughly 30 seconds of watching myself plummet). But hey, at least I got an achievement for it.
-Load my last save-
I actually prefer the plan of finishing him off with my ship because of the ship's big gun, so this time once he starts chasing my ship I start hovering at the very left edge of the sector so that I can leave the sector the boss is in and fix my ship if I need to. Over 90 minutes after I first saw the beast and 3 rounds of cheap, mid-fight ship repair, I finally manage to kill the demon, grab the tablet, and escape with my life intact.
Some will read that story and call it an epic encounter with a mighty foe. I call it frustrating and a waste of time. It took me roughly an entire day of gaming to get through the first dungeon and over 90 minutes to kill the first boss. Windforge stopped being fun and became tedious very quickly. I could delve into the narrative regarding the shortage of whale oil in the game's universe, or the massive blue whales that swim around in the sky for you to either fight or tame, but neither of those elements saved the game for me.
Windforge is fraught with design flaws, from an auto-save system which has no rhyme or reason to floor hatches and stairs that are, in and of themselves, an annoyance to negotiate. Old school video game design - where the player's hand is not held and you are made responsible for your own mistakes in a deadly, almost frustrating fashion - this is not; it is simply poor game design.
This review is based on a digital copy of Windforge for the PC, provided by the publisher.

A Hidden Dimension Of American RacismDon't let the sun go down on you in this town." We equate these words with the Jim Crow South but, in a sweeping analysis of American residential patterns, award-winning and bestselling author James W.

A Daring Novel of Erotic ObsessionOften compared to such classic novels as Lolita, The Story of O, and Tropic of Cancer, and first published by the legendary Barney Rosset, Butterfly by Paul Loewen is a "brilliant meditation on obsession and desire, a tour de force of erotic storytelling and literary invention" drawn from the life of Pinkerton in the renowned Puccini opera of the same name.
What Our Historic Sites Get WrongIn Lies Across America, James W. Loewen continues his mission, begun in the award-winning Lies My Teacher Told Me, of overturning the myths and misinformation that too often pass for American history. This is a one-of-a-kind examination of sites all over the country where history is literally written on the landscape, including historical markers, monuments, historic houses, forts, and ships.Lies

She stands with a well intentioned man
But she can't relax with his hand on the small of her back
As the flashbulbs burst she holds a smile
Like someone would hold a crying child
Soon everybody will ask what became of you
'Cos your heart was dying fast
And you didn't know what to do
It seemed that you live in someone else's dream
In a hand-me-down wedding dress
With the things that could have been are repressed
But you said your vows and you closed the door
On so many men who would've loved you more
Soon everybody will ask what became of you
'Cos your heart was dying fast
And you didn't know what to do
The whispers that it won't last roll up and down the pews
And if your hearts were dying that fast
They would have done the same as you
And I would've done the same as you

Published semi-monthly by National Headquarters, Boy Scouts of America
For Scout Officials and Others Interested In Work for Boys
Vol. I
No. 1
THE PUBLICATION of this semi-monthly bul-
letin under the name of "Scouting" for Scout,
officials and others interested in work for boys
has been undertaken by the Executive Board of the
National Council in the interest of efficiency For the
time being it will be sent gratuitously to every regis-
tered official of the Scout Movement, including officers
of Local Councils, members of the National Council,
Scout Commissioners, deputies, Scout Masters and
Heretofore we have depended upon special bulletins
and circular letters to keep all engaged in this great
educational movement informed as to developments.
The remarkable expansion of the movement has made
this means of communication extremely expensive,
and the result has been that much material which
would be helpful to Scout Masters and others engaged
in the work has not been made available.
NATIONAL HEADQUARTERS is daily in re-
ceipt of reports of -incidents illustrating the prac-
tical value of the Scout Movement. These, when
distributed promptly, will serve to inspire similar ac-
tivity among other Scout Masters.
Then again it is hoped that much valuable data,
based upon the practical experience of different Scout
Masters, can now be regularly brought to the attention
of all members of the organization.
The officers and members of the Executive Board
appreciate that a small proportion of the men actively
engaged in the work fully realize the extent of the
movement and the tremendous amount of work actu-
ally done at National Headquarters each day. Few
appreciate the great advantage the movement has in
the volunteer service of so many experts along the
various lines of the activities covered in the Scout
IT IS believed that by regularly disseminating de-
tailed information concerning the various depart-
ments of the National Headquarters we will strengthen
the Scout Movement.
The Executive Board and its staff want to get in
closer touch with all Scout officials and through them
afford greater inspiration and further advance the
interests of the boys of our country. Suggestions
from Scout officials will always be welcome as to the
material for use in the publication.
We want the Scout Masters to get into more har-
monious relation with headquarters. We trust that by
this publication Scout Masters will see just what the

problems, or who have successfully handled difficult
situations. We want to hear from every Scout Master
who finds himself in difficulty and for him we will get
discussion upon questions in which he is interested.
Fellowship, in the broadest and noblest sense of the
word as it appeals to every good Scout, is our final
aim. We want every Scout Master, as well as every
boy, to feel that he is a part of a tremendous institution
that is making for a greater love for the outdoors, a
greater pride in muscular prowess and a keener stimu-
lus toward strength and nobility of character.

The Health Insurance Reform Act for Individual Coverage
In this model legislation, the bill's purpose is,
to reform the individual health insurance market and, therefore, make individual and family medical insurance more available to people without group coverage. The bill accomplishes this by establishing predictable rate regulation standards for over-regulated state markets. Such regulatory reform encourages insurers to re-enter the individual insurance market with competitive pricing to reach portions of the uninsured population.
[It] would allow an insurer to guarantee the payment of a certain percentage of its premium income in benefits to policy holders. This percentage would be negotiated with state regulators. If total payout on claims at the end of a year fall short of the guaranteed percentage, policyholders would be refunded the difference. If payout exceeded the guarantee, the insurer would lose the difference, but could adjust its rates to avoid future losses and guard against insolvency. Refunds of less than $10.00 would be aggregated by the insurer and paid to the State Insurance Department. Refunds above $10.00 would be sent directly to the policy holders.

It's look like neon. Beutiful!
Nebulae actually work on the same principle as neon signs. If you run a strong enough electrical charge through an ionized gas, it glows at a specific color based on the ionization energy - the more energy needed, the "bluer" the color. Neon, for example, glows orange. Other colors in "neon" signs are actually other elements like argon or xenon (used because they are non-explosive and don't react if the sign is turned off). The force of the exploding star ~10,000 years ago was so strong that it is still ionizing the hydrogen (red) and oxygen (blue-green) in the Veil Nebula after such a long time.
