Yay Attaya's Sketchbook! [Updates! 06-28]
These are a few of my little stress relievers...actually quite a few of them. I hope you enjoy. C&C welcome.
The following images were commissions I took to benefit the Alzheimer's Association Greater Maryland Chapter. Thanks to the Bendis Board for their generosity towards a worthy cause!

awsome style!.. beautiful girls + lines.
really like the 4th one from the top.
June 9th, 2005 #3
Very cool. Stylish yet realistic, nice work.
The second image really stands out for me. The chin, though, seems to be at a weird angle compared to the face to me. Looks a little too slanted.
Overall, these are awesome sketches. Post some more, I'd really like to see more from you!

Updated 06-09-05
Here are some of my sequential pieces in various stages of completion. Some have empty letter boxes/word bubbles. I've removed the dialogue for these posts. The only pages in any sequence are the first two. Hope you enjoy, C&C welcome and appreciated.
I added a picture of the Scarecrow in here too. Yay Batman!

Nice line work! the figures look very fluid and nothing to crit from me. oh actually, the third page, that's a fighting scene right?? As compared to the first I think it really lacks dynamics, very bland. Maybe something fast happens on the next page? It's really hard trying to figure out the story just by looking at the picture... first page is really awsome, great expression.
hope to see more!
June 10th, 2005 #8
Thanks bumskee, the reason that I didn't finish the third one down was precisely the problem you indicated. I couldn't get the scene to flow from one panel to the next. The page after is basically more fighting...I can't seem to find it in my files right now.
I may have to revisit this one just to see if it could be salvaged.Undumb! Unimpaired! Untroubled!

It's pretty damn good for someone who can't sleep.. I think you have more talent up your sleeve than you may think or what I think. I really envy how you show so much form with just few lines, good solid drawing. Guess it comes with practice. He's right arm does seem a little short, I wouldn't know why, but it looks that way.
Would love to see the other page after that one. I haven't drawn a comic myself so I wouldn't know how to make it flow more naturally but perhaps look at some clips and see how they make the scenes flow more naturally. The reason I made that comment about the third is because compared to the first where you have portrayed the mood/feel with different sized boxes and crops, the third is very structured?. I just think if for fighting it should be lot more dynamic, chaotic? even. But like i said don't know what happens after that so maybe you got it all laid out afterwards.
Maybe another scene before the 3rd of the third page just to initiate the fighting scene? it's a bit jumpy after they stand and then suddenly already at each other. The pace is rather fast I think.
ok, enough ranting, they look really good nonetheless and look forward to seeing more! ~

Now that I'm awake and looking at it, the arm does seem wrong. I'll fix that before it goes under the ink.

I'll make an effort to find some of my other fight scene pages and compare them. For now, tropical storm Arleen is staring at me from the gulf. I've gotta go laugh in her face.

Ahh, the happy medium, that's the secret we all hope to find. I know what you mean though, too much and suddenly it seems to have lost the plot, too less and you are just not happy. something I need to work on too, but I think I am a lost cause.
Yes, the assasins back looks very good, in fact all the characters are well drawn, rendered and in great shape. But the question is, overall it doesn't quite work well for the story you are trying to tell I guess. Bah, you know it's still damn good so don't worry too much about it.
Hope to see more!
June 13th, 2005 #13
heh, nice stuff here.
love your line quality, and that scarecrow is Kick-ass.
my only crit would be that some times, it looks like your upper-arms and hands are out of proportion.
keep it up.--Philip

This is another older unused page I am fond of. Forgive the roughness of the lines. I never finished the background for the top panel due to some issues with length of the dialogue there. There are still X's in the fellows hair and on his clothes to indicate what I was supposed to black in....he ain't nekkid. Tee hee. Hope you enjoy.
Bumskee- thanks again! I doubt you're a lost cause. We need to see some of your work!
LiveWire- Thanks! I loved that Scarecrow sketch. It was one of my few attempts at speed sketching, it took right about 5 minutes. The skewed proportions in that particular piece are intentional. I wanted him to be in a position that's not quite normal and a little bit creepy...he is the Scarecrow after all...TWO MORE DAYS TILL BATMAN! Yay!
But I digress, I do have to fix the arm on the CoH sketch. It bothers me more and more each time I look at it.

nice~ YOU are really good with comic thingie.. (couldn't really find the right word..) Though I am a bit disappointed his not naked.. j/k The first scene looks very good, the facial expression is very well done. Though out of curiosity, any reason why you have two images of same view point from then on? you know what I mean right? Just out of curiosity. It seems to be repeated three times so I am wondering if there was anythign behind it.
That girl has lots of earings, I heard if you have that many your ears fall off, not sure if that's true though.
Also, I think it's a bit jumpy from 5th to 6th, he's hesitation is not very well explained, perhaps a full face scene? or am I being typical? . And I think I am being picky!!! trying to pick on little things, yes I am a lost cause.
hmm, really enjoying your work here, post more. with dialogues too..
forgot to add, any chance we might see some life drawing pencil stuff? I know you have a good style but just wondering if you have any other style hidden somewhere.

Financial Assistance, Fees, and Tuition
Financial Assistance
Financial aid available to graduate students includes graduate assistantships, graduate tuition scholarships, Federal Perkins Loans, Federal Subsidized and Unsubsidized Stafford Loans, Federal Work-Study employment, and short-term loans. Information regarding graduate assistantships or scholarships may be obtained from the department concerned or the Graduate School. Please refer to the "Financial Aid" section for detailed information on financial aid processing and programs.
Entering students should be sure that a transcript of credits has been sent to the Graduate School. Students must be enrolled in a degree or licensure program to receive federal aid eligibility. Students must not be in default of prior federal loans to receive federal aid.
Assistantships are awarded through individual departments of instruction and require students to spend a specified amount of time assisting either in instruction, research, or academic support. Graduate assistants are required by the graduate school to register for a minimum of eight hours of graduate credit per quarter, and some departments may require as many as 12 or more credit hours per quarter.
For information regarding assistantships, directly contact the chair of the department involved. Financial need is not a criterion for selection of graduate assistants; the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) discussed in the section on Financial Aid applies to other forms of financial assistance.
Graduate Tuition Scholarships
A limited number of scholarships, which cover a graduate student's tuition for two years (8 consecutive quarters) or program completion (whichever is less), are offered by the Colleges of Business, Education and Human Services, Engineering and Computer Science, Liberal Arts, Nursing and Health, Science and Mathematics, and the School of Professional Psychology.
The goals of the scholarship program are to recruit and retain master's and doctoral students who have demonstrated academic excellence in the past and who exhibit the potential for continued academic excellence in the future. The scholarships are awarded primarily to new incoming graduate students who intend to pursue a graduate degree program as a full-time student. To be eligible for the scholarships, students must qualify for regular admission into a master's or doctoral program. Questions regarding the tuition scholarship program should be addressed to the college or school of interest.
Graduate Council Scholars Program
Stipends and tuition remissions are awarded annually to full-time graduate students who are recommended by their respective college/school dean and selected by the Graduate Council Student Affairs Committee. The stipend and tuition remission is awarded for up to two years. This program not only eases graduate students' financial burdens but also recognizes their academic achievements.
Professional Nurse Traineeships
The Professional Nurse Traineeship program was established in 1956 and expanded in 1975 to provide financial support to currently licensed professional nurses to study full time, to teach, to serve in administrative or supervisory capacities, or to serve in other professional nursing specialties requiring advanced training. Financial need is not a consideration in these awards. The required application and information can be obtained in the College of Nursing and Health.

Corporate Relations
The Office of Corporate, Government and Foundation Relations assists foundations and corporations in creating strategic partnerships with The Sage Colleges.
The OCGFR seeks funding in support of:
- Our Students
Scholarship and fellowship support provides critical funding for students in need. This support ensures the recruitment of top undergraduate and graduate students.
- Our Faculty
Vital resources are needed for the recruitment and retention of word-class faculty. Faculty support includes funding for research, teaching awards, as well as endowed chairs and professorships.
- Our Capital
A resourced facility ensures quality education. The Sage Colleges' commitment to the ongoing enhancement to our Troy brownstones, our campuses, our libraries, arts centers, and technology, all require significant capital investment.
- Our Programs
Creating and implementing innovative programs and research that enhance the delivery of our curriculum is a true investment in the future. The Sage College's legacy is the teaching of practical arts in a liberal arts setting.
- Our Outreach
Sage engages with the community through a wide array of programs including community and school outreach, health clinics, arts programs, public programs and more.
Ways to Give:
- Restricted Gifts
The Sage Colleges accepts outright gifts and ensures a strict adherence to foundation and corporate guidelines or grant contracts. Restricted gifts support program or project specific opportunities.
- Unrestricted Gifts:
When a gift is not restricted to a specific purpose or project; the College gains fiscal flexibility. Unrestricted gifts from foundations and corporations supplement our Annual Fund and help to meet critical changing needs not covered by most traditional grants or restricted awards.
- Gifts of Endowment
Endowments, which typically bear the name of the donor or the donor's designee can provide valuable support for undergraduate scholarships, graduate fellowships, teaching awards or remain unrestricted for use in the highest needs of the campus or designated school or department.
- Scholarships
Creating an endowed scholarship or a scholarship fund is an effective means to support The Sage Colleges. The Sage Colleges Corporate Connections program allows area businesses to make moderate annual contributions in support of scholarships.
- Matching Gifts
Corporations and foundations have demonstrated their support for The Sage Colleges by matching, or multiplying their employee's gifts to Sage. The corporate matching portion of the gift is credited to the same program as the employee donation.

Hi there from Roos-N-More Zoo's Asian Small Clawed Otters! You can find us in freshwater streams and lakes all over Asia. We eat mostly crustaceans but do go fishing on occasion too. We are the smallest of the 13 otter species and are the only otters that catch our food with our hands! In Malaysia, fishermen have even partnered with us to help run fish into their nets. If you come visit, we are VERY noisy and have 12 different vocalizations. The most common one you'll hear at Roos-N-More is a high-pitched whine that means, please come visit us!
We are the most expensive animals at the zoo to feed so we'd love it if you would sponsor us. You can also bring donations of frozen tilapia filets and seafood medleys to the zoo when you come and visit. We wouldn't turn down lobster or crab either!

i designed this book recently using photos of mine after seeing the destruction that hurricane sandy had left behind on where i live, the jersey shore. the purpose of this book is to help people remember the good times that they might have experienced at places that may no longer be there, and also to help raise money for all those that were affected. the book consists of a mix of 35mm film, digital, and instax photos that were all taken during my own personal experiences in places like seaside heights, bay head, point pleasant, island heights, and a few from coastal areas in toms river.
100% of the profit will go to organizations such as the hurricane sandy relief fund!
thanks for your help!

SSH, or Secure SHell, is a secure alternative to telnet. SSH can be used to securely copy files, access CVS or SVN, cron jobs and other DreamHost services via standard unix command line also known as shell. All SSH traffic travels over a secured connection rather than in the plain text like in telnet. It is strongly recommended that you use SSH rather than telnet.
Note: Before being able to log into SSH, one must enable SSH on that account. It's a fairly easy process that's detailed in the Enabling Shell Access article. After enabling, your SSH login will be: ssh firstname.lastname@example.com

- 2 SSH Client Software

DreamHost SSH Server Software
DreamHost uses OpenSSH software on the server end. It allows some great features how to manage user rights and access as described in this sample chapter of O'Reilly's guide to SSH.
SSH Client Software
Windows is the only commonly-used operating system that does not include a native SSH client. Windows users need to download SSH software separately (see below). Mac OS X and UNIX/Linux users can run the SSH client from any terminal application. To do this, open your terminal, enter
ssh in the command line and hit enter.
Mac OS X
Mac OS X users can find Terminal at
/Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app. Once in a terminal session, follow the instructions under Unix/Linux to initiate a secure shell.
Most distributions of UNIX/Linux come with the OpenSSH package. Any terminal application (xterm, Konsole, etc.) can be used to initiate a secure shell:
ssh email@example.com
Every windows SSH client has its own way to be installed and launched, different from unix
ssh command, but once you've set it up, there is no difference in further operations. However, each client is suited to specific (or general needs); you might like to try them all to see what suits your fancy. Take your pick:
- Free: PuTTY
- Free: WinSCP is an open source free SFTP client for Windows using SSH
Quite easy to use with shell like interface and can be scripted
- Commerical: CWRSYNC is a packaging of rsync and the ssh client with the required cygwin libraries for Windows. It runs on all versions of Windows. Very easy to set up & doesn't need a full cygwin setup.
- Commercial: SmartFTP
- Commercial: SecureCRT
- Commercial: SftpDrive adds SFTP support to Windows Explorer and all Windows applications.
- Commercial: ZOC Terminal (also available for OS X).
And from LinuxMafia.com we have a very thorough list of most of the SSH clients for the Win32 platform:
- Other: SSH Clients for Win32 (excellent list, really.)
Note: some of the SSH-based (SSH.com) clients have problems with and Backspace and Delete (and sometimes Home and End) keys.
This seems to be a Linux anomaly more than anything else (in bash, xterm, and vt100), but the workaround is as follows (note that PuTTY isn't affected, but SecureCRT, F-Secure, and SSH, etc. are):
1. Once installed, configure your settings as you like, then locate the key mapping feature of your client.
2) Map your delete, home, and end keys as strings, using the following values (no quotes):
- Delete:
- Home:
- End:
Keep in mind that this is universal for all sites through that particular client - remote access or using another client won't be affected. However, for remote access, use something like PuTTY and your worries are gone.
--Lordkelmain 01:10, 26 Oct 2006 (PDT)
Another method you can use to get your SSH terminal behaving as you want it to is to create a .inputrc file in your home folder (E.G. "cd ~" will take you to your home folder). The .inputrc can hold definitions of standard key mappings. I use the following in mine to enable functionality for the home, end, page up, page down, del, and other keys:
"\e[1~": beginning-of-line "\e[4~": end-of-line "\e[5~": beginning-of-history "\e[6~": end-of-history "\e[3~": delete-char "\e[2~": quoted-insert "\e[5C": forward-word "\e[5D": backward-word "\e\e[C": forward-word "\e\e[D": backward-word
This configuration will be specific to your login user and will work from any machine you SSH into the box from without requiring you to configure your client.
Gaarai 12:21, 10 September 2007 (PDT)
Mindterm from Appgate is a java based SSH client that can be embedded into your site. This will enable you to have shell access to any ssh host from any PC with a web browser that is java capable. Mindterm is free for personal use and can be downloaded from here
A powerful, free, SSH application is available on the App Store called TouchTerm. For users that need more, a paid version of the same application is available, called TouchTerm Pro. You can read more about this client on the developer's website.
ConnectBot is an SSH application available for free on the Android Market. You can use it to access SSH, Telnet, and local protocols. It should probably work for FTP as well.
If you use ConnectBot, it is highly recommended that your device have a keyboard and a trackball. The T-Mobile G1 is idea, but the Motorola Droid is perfect for this application since it has a control pad instead of a trackball.
There are a few things you may want to remember when inputing data on ConnectBot.
To input some keys, you need to use the following commands.
|Press the track ball once. The cursor will indicate this state with a < symbol. Follow up this command with the key you plan on using with the CTRL character.
|Press the track ball twice.
|Press the Shift key. The triangle outline will appear on the top part of the cursor indicating it has been pressed.
|CAPS LOCK (a.k.a. Shift Lock)
|Press the Shift key twice. The solid triangle will appear on the top part of the cursor indicating it has been pressed. Pressing Shift again disables it.
|Press the Alt key. The triangle outline will appear on the bottom part of the cursor indicating it has been pressed.
|Press the Alt key twice. The solid triangle will appear on the bottom part of the cursor indicating it has been pressed. Pressing Alt again disables it.
|Function keys (F1 through F10)
|Hold down the shift key and press numbers 1 through 0 to send F1 through F10 respectively
|Page Up and Page Down
|Using screen gestures, swipe up and down on the screen respectively.
|Arrow Keys
|Move the trackball in the proper direction or press the appropriate directional key on the control pad.
|Backslash (\)
|Backtick/Accent Mark (`)
|SHIFT+ALT+1 if you put it over a character. SHIFT+ALT+L for the character itself.</tt>
|Square Brackets ([ ])
|SHIFT+ALT+O and SHIFT+ALT+P, respectively.
|Curly Braces ({ })
|SHIFT+ALT+H and SHIFT+ALT+J, respectively.
|Vertical Pipe (|)
|SHIFT+ALT+, (comma)
|Tidle (~)
|SHIFT+ALT+N if you put it over a character. SHIFT+ALT+K for the character
The best way to find out where the other characters are is to experiment with the SHIFT+ALT command. YMMV.
Passwordless Login
Unix, Linux, Mac OS X, and Cygwin
Users can set up SSH so that they have passwordless ssh access to DreamHost servers. (Please read 'Single Password Logon' for security concerns.)
On your home computer, you must generate an RSA private key:
ssh-keygen -t rsa
It will prompt you for three things, hit enter to accept the default on all three.
Next, you must copy your public key to DreamHost's server. Replace user and example.com with your username and domain name, respectively.
scp ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub email@example.com:~/
Now you must ssh to your account (using your password):
ssh firstname.lastname@example.com
Now append the public key to your authorized keys file and delete the file you uploaded:
mkdir .ssh cat id_rsa.pub >> .ssh/authorized_keys rm id_rsa.pub
Now make sure permissions are set properly for all necessary files and directories:
chmod go-w ~ chmod 700 ~/.ssh chmod 600 ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
If everything is configured properly, you should be able to access your DreamHost account through SSH without a password now! For more information, see the man pages for ssh, ssh-keygen, and sshd.
Single Password Logon
For the security minded, when you run ssh-keygen -t rsa it asks for a password. If you provide one, you will be asked for it in the future. Add the following lines to your .bash_profile or .profile. It will only ask you for the password once per logon-session on the local machine, and subsequent SSH connections will be 'free'.
for cygwin:
#use existing ssh-agent if possible if [ -f ${HOME}/.ssh-agent ]; then . ${HOME}/.ssh-agent > /dev/null fi if [ -z "$SSH_AGENT_PID" -o -z "`/usr/bin/ps -a|/usr/bin/egrep \"^[ ]+$SSH_AGENT _PID\"`" ]; then /usr/bin/ssh-agent > ${HOME}/.ssh-agent . ${HOME}/.ssh-agent > /dev/null fi
for unix or linux try the scripts on this site: Using SSH-Agent
Some systems come with this pre-configured for you!
Please note: The above block only starts the ssh-agent, it will not use a key or store the passphrase until you type
ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa
You will then be prompted for the passphrase, which will be remembered for the rest of your session. I just added the line above to the block within my .bash_profile. That way when I firs topen my cygwin console I am asked for the password, but never again!
Windows PuTTY
Good instructions on how to setup PuTTY can be found at:
- Secure Linux/Unix access with PuTTY and OpenSSH - Steve Friedl
- Configuring PuTTY - HTML Manual Chapter 4 (sgtatham)
Generate a new key with the PuTTYgen app:
- Select the SSH2-RSA option (Although SSH2-DSA will work, it has an intrinsic weakness.)
- Save both the public and the private key somewhere on your computer where you can find them (named key.pub and key.ppk, for instance)
Upload the public key to your Dreamhost home directory. After you've generated the key and copied it to the server, you'll need to import and append the key to authorized_keys with the following command. Use >> instead of > to append to the file instead of overwriting the contents. (If the directory ~/.ssh does not already exist use an FTP program, such as FileZilla, to create it. Make sure to enable FileZilla to show hidden files (Server > Force showing hidden files)).
ssh-keygen -i -f key.pub >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys chmod go-rwx ~/.ssh ~/.ssh/authorized_keys rm key.pub
Now the keys sit on the server (protected from access by others), you can log out, and start PuTTY. Make a new connection:
- In Connection/Data, add your Dreamhost username
- Connection/SSH/Auth, browse to your private key file (key.ppk)
- Go back to Sessions, give your Dreamhost machine host name (abc.dreamhost.com), name the session, and click Save to save it
Now, we are going to tell Pageant to authenticate automatically. The PuTTY manual says: "Pageant is an SSH authentication agent. It holds your private keys in memory, already decoded, so that you can use them often without needing to type a passphrase.". Fire up Pageant, and:
- Click Add Key

Common Tasks in SSH
Decompress ZIP Archives - Upload a gazillion files at once - Mini Windows/SSH/Putty tutorial
I won't pretend to be an expert, but I thought I'd save the next person the grief of going through the dramas again. Those who are not entirely comfortable with the *nix world may be a bit intimidated by the 'features' of dreamhost;) Hopefully this will be of help to someone.
With a combination of your favourite FTP client, any tool that can create ZIP files, and Putty, you can upload your entire site in ZIP format and decompress it using Putty. I'm writing this from a Windows mindset but this will also work with other OSs using comparable tools.
First, ZIP up your site, maintaining the directory structure you want, and FTP it to the directory (the sub/domain you've set up in panel) you want the site decompressed to. Using a GUI FTP client so you can see the structure I find to be the easiest. So you don't get lost, keep the FTP client window open to use as a road map.
Now run Putty, enter the domain and use your FTP login and password to get in.
You will now have the [server]$ prompt, with [server] being the name of your server eg [goober]$. Now type the following.
[server]$ ls
You should see a list of your directory/sub/domains.
Now type
[server]$ cd subdomain.name.com
to [C]hange [D]irectory, except obviously use the name of the directory you want rather than 'subdomain.name.com' :P
Now do...
[server]$ ls
again. You should see the name of the ZIP file you uploaded
[server]$ ls filename.zip
[server]$ unzip filename.zip
(again, use your OWN file name)
The cursor will drop to the next line and depending on how many files are in the zip, it might take a while to pop up the [server]$ prompt again. Be patient. When it does you will have all your files beautifully decompressed, exactly where you want them ;)
You can use your FTP client to check.
Just as a note: depending on what you have done prior to this you might get some warnings. I'll leave these to your creativity. Use your noodle. Try typing unzip -h to get the list of switches. Hopefully you'll get around it.
Good Luck and Enjoy!
Check if your files are correctly uploaded (check for file integrity)
If you have to upload some large files to the server you might want to check they are correctly uploaded with no errors. To do that, just create a MD5 file and upload it to the server, in the same folder as the files you want to check (a MD5 file is a plain text file that contains checksums of your files so their integrity can be verified afterwards; to create it you can use any MD5 tool, like wxChecksums).
Once you have your MD5 file uploaded, go to your directory with "cd":
cd xxxxxxx.yourdomain.com/yourdirectory
Then type this to verify all files with the uploaded MD5:
md5sum -v -c yourfile.md5
After a few seconds, you'll start seeing a list of the files with an "OK" mark at the end of each line if the file is correct, or "FAILED" if the file is not correct (the upload went wrong).
ZIP All Files In A Folder
Let's imagine that you have a Folder named "Images" and that you want all the files and subfolders and files within subfolders to be zipped up in a single files for whatever purpose.
zip -r filename.zip Images
This will create a file named "filename.zip" in the current folder containing everything that was in the "Images" folder.
Directory/filenames which contain non-english/Asian characters show up as ?????? or are corrupt
If you have problems with your filenames not showing up correctly which would also prevent you from creating new files/directories with their correct names via shell then you will want to add the following to your .bash_profile file to enable UTF support:
export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 export LANG=en_US.UTF-8 export LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 export G_FILENAME_ENCODING=UTF-8
Server unexpectedly closed network connection
If you get this error when attempting to SSH (or SFTP/SCP), this can mean your IP has been blocked due to an excessive number of failed login attempts. You will get no notice that this has happened. Contact support and they will remove the block and whitelist your IP address. If you don't know your IP, visit whatismyipaddress.com.
[User] is not in the sudoers group.
Dreamhost does not allow sudo access on shared servers for security purposes, so the sudo command is not available. While many tasks can be accomplished without the use of sudo, if you do need sudo access, you may wish to check out DreamHost PS, where you get full root access!
Idle connections are getting dropped
Dreamhost and other ISPs may kill ssh connections that remain idle longer than a certain number of minutes. The fix is simple: set up keep-alive by editing /etc/ssh/ssh_config or ~/.ssh/config and adding this:
Host * ServerAliveInterval 15 ServerAliveCountMax 4
Now the ssh client will ask the server for a sign of life every 15 seconds thus keeping the connection open. As an added bonus, if the server fails to respond 4 times in a row the client gives up and closes the connection itself.

Running processes via SSH that consume large quantities of memory and/or processor power may lead them to be "Killed" - See Killed
Slow SSH Login
Try to login with:
ssh firstname.lastname@example.com -v
If the connection is delaying on "debug1: SSH2_MSG_SERVICE_ACCEPT received", add this on your /etc/ssh/sshd_config as root
UseDNS no
And restart the service:
/etc/init.d/ssh restart
Problem resolved!

TUCSON - The University of Arizona Wildcat track and field program had one final athlete representing them at the 2013 IAAF World Championships. Saturday was the eighth of nine days of competition in Moscow.
On June 8, Brigetta Barrett claimed her sixth-straight NCAA Championship in the high jump to end her collegiate career. In her first meet as a professional on June 22, jumping for Nike, Barrett won her second-straight USA Championship with a personal-best clearance of 6-8.25 (2.04m). That is the second-best jump in U.S. history. Today, in Moscow, Barrett claimed the silver medal in the high jump with a clearance of 6-6.75 (2.00m). It is the seventh time in her career that she has cleared 6-6 or better. She was clean through her first four attempts, 6-2.25 (1.89m), 6-4 (1.93m), 6-5.5 (1.97m) and 6-6.75 (2.00m). The next height, 6-8 (2.03m), Barrett could not clear. Her clearance of 6-6.75 is the highest a female high jumper from the U.S. has ever cleared at the World Championships.

Consecutive Career Nights From Dietrick Leads Tigers to 96-75 Win over Yale
Box Score
Another night of Ivy League women's basketball, another showcase put on by Blake Dietrick whose game-high 28 points paced Princeton to a 96-75 win over Yale Saturday night at Jadwin Gym. The 96 points is a program season high and the victory extends the Tigers' winning streak to five, as Princeton improved to 15-6, 5-1 Ivy and dropped the Bulldogs to 10-12, 4-4 Ivy on the season.
Dietrick, who established a new career high of 27 only the night before versus Brown, was unstoppable in the first half and had 25 points alone during the opening period. Capping off her 55-point weekend, the junior point guard went 11-for-18 from the field with four three-pointers and added a team-high six assists, with six boards, a block and a steal in 37 minutes versus the Bulldogs.
While Dietrick headlined the scoring effort, Princeton saw a well-rounded effort featuring five players in double figures. Four members of the sophomore class reached the feat, with Alex Wheatley tallying 15 on a 7-of-9 effort and Michelle Miller's three triples for 14 points. Making her second straight start was Taylor Williams who had 13 points, going 6-for-7, with eight rebounds and a game-high three blocks.
Amanda Berntsen also reached the scoring mark with 10 points, going 4-for-6. The second-year guard missed last night due to illness and did not miss a beat in her in 12 minutes off the bench Saturday.
Princeton was led by Kristen Helmstetter's game-high 10 rebounds, as the Tigers held a 46-27 margin over the Bulldogs. The senior nearly had a double-double, finishing with nine points in her all-around effort.
Yale held Princeton within range through most of the first half, combatting the Tigers' double digit leads and coming as close as seven, 32-25, at 5:40. While Princeton remained in control it needed a 12-3 run to close out the period to seal the game's momentum and the lead for good.
After coming out of the break with a 49-33 lead, the Bulldogs put together their best effort to close in on the Tigers and made it a nine-point ball game twice over the first five minutes of the second half.
Displaying its cohesion and resilience, Princeton quickly picked up its play and jutted to a 34-point advantage, 87-55, at 7:12.
Yale would never get closer than 21 for the remainder of the contest.
Princeton nearly shot 60 percent, going 59.7 (37-for-62) to Yale's 41.5 percent (27-for-65). The Tigers also led 22-13 in assists and 6-3 in blocks.
The Tigers will now prepare for a big weekend on the road at Dartmouth (Feb. 21) and Harvard (Feb. 22).
Postgame Notes: Princeton scored a 2013-14 season-high 96 points … the all-time program high is 99 versus Yale on Feb. 10, 2013 in New Haven, Conn. … Blake Dietrick scored a career and team season-high 28 points … the Tigers had five players score in double figures for the first time since Nov. 17, 2013.

A colleague once dubbed me "Little Miss Cyber-Privacy." The moniker didn't sting, even though I work in digital media and have been ribbed before for my reluctance to share (or overshare, depending on your perspective). Truth is, I've guarded my privacy long before my journeys in cyberspace — since I was a child — and I see no reason to stop now. Especially now. But social media keeps growing in popularity, and it gets harder and harder to avoid divulging the kind of information we privacy freaks would rather keep to ourselves.
With Facebook Timeline, the social network's revamped profile design, those concerned about privacy should ponder what they're willing to reveal and whether connection trumps privacy in this brave new world. That's because Timeline is not just a catalogue of your online experiences, or even of your education and work history (as on LinkedIn). It is really, truly, and I would add madly, a timeline of your life starting with where and on what date you were born.
Facebook Timeline is the latest dilemma of my love-hate relationship with technological progress and communication tools. I'm smack in the middle of the twenty-somethings, who share everything and text all day, and the sixty-year-olds, who think we've all lost our heads, preferring the old-fashioned telephone or — oh horror! — face-to-face. Still favoring email over texts, I adopt the latest advances because my career mandates it, and because I'm genuinely interested, but I try to do so on my own terms.
For instance, in an effort to establish a work-life balance, I long resisted giving out my personal cell phone number at work, figuring I was already reachable round the clock via email, with my ever-present BlackBerry. This solution worked well for years, until none other than the White House requested my cell number for a 2007 piece we were doing at iVillage.com on First Lady Laura Bush. I reluctantly obliged. (Consoling me, a colleague said, "Don't worry — they probably already had it.")
At other times, I harnessed the anonymity of the web, taking solace in its freedom of expression and lack of geographic constraint. When the decision to start a family evolved into a harrowing ordeal, virtual strangers offered support and insight that trumped what would have been forthcoming, in my judgment, from lifelong "real world" relationships. In more joyous times, I had fun impersonating my dog on his blog and social media channels ("Why Bark When You Can Blog? Confessions of a Portuguese Water Dog"). He ignored the strong scent of Foursquare, finding no reason to broadcast his whereabouts or declare himself "mayor" of his favorite spot. He is my alter ego after all.
But now there's Facebook Timeline, and the network requires "everyone to provide their real names, so you always know who you're connecting with." In other words, anonymous handles and pseudonyms be gone! My reservations about fleshing out my Timeline have run the gamut from neurotic (or cautious, again depending on your perspective) concerns about identity theft, to what is probably widespread ambivalence about combining one's personal and work lives, to the vagaries of my own particular comfort zone.
Facebook prompted me to add a cover photo (which I did willingly, being of the visual school) and life events (which I declined). Even though I chose to leave off such personally identifiable information as my birthday and school graduation dates and to hide some other information I'd already supplied, I soon realized that the new profile display was as telling for what was omitted as for what was included. But I asked myself if I really wanted to spell out the personal details of my life on my Facebook Timeline — the milestones that happened and when, the milestones that didn't happen, the milestones that were in the process of happening. I concluded, no, I did not.

Every Tuesday we would meet in the park. It wasn't much of a park, but it was equidistant between our apartments, and the curved wooden bench proved a surprisingly comfortable structure that served as our base for our weekly bull sessions.
What made this particular Tuesday stand out, I remember, was the very brief presence of a beautiful woman and the ensuing conversation. She strode past us that day, her stride long and confident, short skirt baring fabulous legs; thick, luscious brown hair bounced with each step. She couldn't have been more than 25. As she passed, she bathed us in her brilliant smile and nodded, saying "Good afternoon, gentlemen."
Her poise and utter lack of affectation was alluring. She was clearly in her prime as a woman, and along with the faint scent of her perfume we were left with the fading click of her heels and a profound sense of our own mortality.
Chuck was the first to speak.
"Yeah. Okay, two word summation."
He thought for a moment.
"Unbridled innocence."
It wasn't a startling assessment, as Chuck was a psychiatrist and often couched his phraseology in analytical terms. He leaned back with his arms spread out along the back of the bench. "Your turn."
I sighed heavily.
He looked at me.
"Utterly clueless."
"Huh?" He was staring at me.
"She has no idea how many flush hits to the mouth await her."
"Metaphorically speaking, I hope. And this is a bad thing?"
"Yeah, it is."
It was his turn to sigh. "Maybe those hits are inevitable, but should she be thinking about them? Anticipating them with dread? It's quite difficult, from a psychological standpoint, to genuinely acknowledge something you have yet to experience."
I nodded. "I know, but it's sad to see a woman, especially one so young and beautiful and vibrant, cruising along the track thinking the light at the end of the tunnel is not a train."
"Is it a train for everyone?"
As usual, Chuck's responses were measured and reasoned.
"Ultimately, I believe it is."
"You are, of course, referring to death."
"Yes, and no. I guess I'm talking about the loss of innocence, which with birth and death, are probably the three experiences we all share. The death of innocence is more abstract, obviously. Its impact is probably less measurable."
Chuck looked toward the bend where the woman had disappeared. "The loss of innocence can take many forms and, in fact, is often the first major step in one's growth. There can be positive ramifications associated with it."
I thought about that.
"Can the death of innocence be subtle?"
"Absolutely," he said, leaning forward and resting his forearms on his knees. "It's not always some dramatic event, like losing one's virginity, or the death of a loved one. It can occur in a multitude of ways, sometimes spreading out over years."
"So then, which is healthier? To lose it in one fell swoop, or to have it deteriorate slowly?"
I could sense his frustration. "You're oversimplifying. Take this young woman we just saw. If I'm interpreting correctly, you associate her alleged innocence with naivet�."
"In a sense, yes."
"Okay, let's take it a step further. If you haven't absorbed the flush hits yet, is it naivet�, or denial, to not focus on the possibility?"
"Well, denial implies the presence of unconscious knowledge."
He nodded.
I continued. "I'd lean towards naivet�. If that woman was 45 instead of 25, would we be having this discussion?"
"No," he said.
We were quiet for a while, watching a trio of squirrels chase one another around the base of a huge oak.
Chuck finally spoke. "Should this young woman not enjoy the unblemished years? I know you better than probably anyone, and you tend to be obsessive about this stuff. You've spent a great deal of time trying to find ground zero in your life where innocence was snatched from you. It's rarely that simple."
"My dad killing himself because my mom left him is fairly unambiguous."
"Touch�," he said softly, briefly putting his hand on my shoulder.
I continued. "My older brother killing himself because his wife left him would be hard to classify as subtle."
"Fair enough. I've always acknowledged the dramatic events that shaped your childhood."
"I know you have. We're straying from the subject, however."
"Are we?" He arched his eyebrows.
"I think so. Granted, I was probably too young to anticipate or prepare for my traumatic stuff turning me into a cynical teenager, but when I see someone like that woman, radiating all that is good about life, it brings a bitterness out in me."
Chuck made a sound in his throat that was agreement.
"Does that make me selfish, or even worse, self absorbed?"
"Yes," he said simply. "But I think your outlook is inevitable, given your life experience. You don't wish bad things on this woman. Au contraire. Your real motivation is of a gallant nature. You want to warn her, maybe even protect her. Shield her from the flush hits, even take them for her. Because you know that you can recover. Her fate is less certain."
"You paint me as more noble than we both know I am."
"Nobility also comes in many forms, my friend. I think given what you've endured, you carry with you a rare dignity."
"Next to me," I replied, "you're almost a Pollyanna. Does my cynicism wear on you?"
He frowned and scratched his beard. "I'm not sure I totally agree with the premise. Isn't there a does of healthy skepticism tucked into your mix? I never thought you were an angry cynic."
I shook my head. "I've never met a dumb cynic, not to say I'm an intellectual giant, but I've always associated cynicism with a sort of gritty intelligence."
"I don't disagree."
"It's a pat phrase, trite even, but sometimes I feel all of this can be distilled down to whether you see the glass as half full, or half empty."
"That's a beautiful simplification."
"I'm what, about half way through my life, maybe a bit more? So far, I've been the half empty type."
"Yeah, but haven't you filled that glass with your own experiences? Don't you want to keep filling it, get it to a level where it isn't halfway anymore, but closer to full?"
"You mean force the issue?"
"For lack of a better phrase, yes."
Chuck continued. "Look at it this way. It's probably as important to determine the quality of what fills the glass. You can't separate that from its degree of fullness."
I stroked my own beard thoughtfully.
"Having lived an examined life, for what that's worth, makes me think whatever's in the glass is the result, not of circumstance, but of my own doing."
"Yeah, you've controlled as much as you can. But can't the loss of innocence be a benign determinant of how one lives their life? Does it have to be poisonous?"
"Maybe. It could be one's response to the loss that is more important."
Chuck extended his palm, which I slapped lightly.
"I agree. Which then, by definition, means that whether the loss of innocence is dramatic, or subtle, it is the response that can render that loss either harmless or devastating."
"So that young woman could try with all her might, as I implied earlier she should, to anticipate what lies ahead, but it still would be how she bounced back that would determine the overall impact."
Around the bend where she had disappeared what seemed like hours ago, we heard the freshening click of heels coming toward us. We watched and waited.
She was on the far side of the curved walk. Her gait was slow. As she passed us, there was no greeting.
She was crying.
Chuck and I just looked at each other.

Schizoid personality disorder is an uncommon condition in which people avoid social activities and consistently shy away from interaction with others. It affects more males than females. If you have schizoid personality disorder, you may be seen as a loner, and you may lack the desire or skill to form close personal relationships.
To others, you may appear somewhat dull or humorless. Because you don't tend to show emotion, you may appear as though you don't care about what's going on around you. Although you may seem aloof, you may actually feel lonely, even if it's hard for you to acknowledge. Or you may feel much more at ease being alone, and feel comfortable with your life.
The cause of schizoid personality disorder is unknown. Therapy and — in some cases — medications can help.

Edzard Ernst, Britain's first professor of complementary medicine, has stoked the flames of controversy by branding Prince Charles a 'snake oil salesman'.
Should complementary/alternative medicine be evaluated just like any other healthcare technologies?
To what extent do you use complementary medicine in your personal life or for your patients?
Do you think it's outright quackery but do you still make exceptions for certain products, with no robust evidence in sight?

Whether treating a toddler in an emergency or supporting a teen through chemotherapy treatments, we are dedicated to the care of each patient. It's through teamwork at every level of Children's Healthcare of Atlanta and with you, the family, that we are able to achieve excellence in pediatric care.
See more about us
With a proven track record of providing world-class care to patients in more than 30 pediatric specialties, we are a model for other pediatric hospitals. Infants, teens and young adults belong in a children's hospital where they can get specialized treatment from caregivers who know the important differences between children and adults.
See our clinical services
Research is a cornerstone of the Children's Healthcare of Atlanta mission to enhance the lives of children. In conjunction with Emory University School of Medicine, Georgia Tech and Morehouse, Children's seeks answers to the most challenging childhood medical conditions through teaching and research.
We all want happy, healthy kids. But as a busy parent, helping your kids eat well and stay active can be a challenge.
At Strong4Life, created by Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, our doctors, nutritionists and wellness experts create fun, easy ways to help your kids eat, move and live healthier. From picky eaters to passionate gamers, we have a slew of simple tips by experts who understand, because we're parents, too.
As a not-for-profit organization, Children's Healthcare of Atlanta relies on the generous financial and volunteer support of our community. Your donations directly impact the lives of each family served by Children's and support many initiatives such as clinical excellence, research, teaching, wellness and charity care.
Let the doctor know if your child is taking any vitamins, herbal products, supplements or home remedies.
Swaddling is the practice of wrapping your baby in a blanket or cloth. It mimics the comfort of the womb.
To help regulate your child's temperature, encourage him to play if he feels like it.
To help regulate your child's temperature, make sure your child drinks plenty of fluids.
To help regulate your child's temperature, bathe him in lukewarm water to help lower body temperature.
A child's normal temperature ranges from 97ºF to 99ºF. If your child is healthy, a fever is probably not serious.
Things like being overheated in warm weather can cause a fever. Different types of infection can also cause a fever.
The most accurate way to take a baby's (under 24 months) temperature is in his bottom. Other methods are not as accurate. Always use a digital thermometer.
Aspirin is not recommended for children with fever. Use fever reducers like acetaminophen or ibuprofen.
Trust your instincts. Call the doctor when you have a concern about how your baby looks or feels or if you have questions about how to take care of him.
Crying is normal for babies. Babies usually cry when they are hungry, wet, bored, uncomfortable or when they just want to be held. Sometimes babies cry no matter what you do to console them.
If your baby is crying a lot and you feel like you cannot cope with the crying, get help. It is important to remember that you are not alone—many new parents experience this. Don't feel bad if you need to take a short break.
Never shake your baby. Violent or forceful shaking can lead to bleeding or swelling of the brain, blindness or even death.
If you are concerned about the development of your child, don't wait. Ask your pediatrician about a referral to Children's. We have pediatric-trained experts who can evaluate your child's development, and we offer a wide-range of rehabilitation services to help your child develop properly.
Children are not just small adults. Our pediatric specialists are trained to understand these special needs—they care for them every day.
Only 6 percent of hospitals in the country have emergency departments that are fully-equipped to handle children. Children's has three dedicated pediatric Emergency Departments.
Always put your baby on his back to sleep. This is the safest way for him to sleep (unless your doctor tells you something different).
Have your baby sleep in his own crib without any pillows or heavy blankets. Move your baby's crib into your bedroom and place the crib within arm's reach.
Your baby should NOT sleep in the bed with you, other children or adults.
Do not overheat the room where your baby sleeps. This may also be a cause of SIDS. Set the thermostat to a temperature that is comfortable for adults who are lightly dressed.
Instead of using covers when your baby is sleeping in cool weather, dress your baby in a lightweight, one-piece blanket sleeper or sleep sack to keep him warm.
Swaddling can curb crying and restlessness if done correctly. It can also promote longer sleep and regular sleep patterns.
If swaddling is done incorrectly, it can put too much pressure on the hips and cause problems. Extreme examples include hip dysplasia.
Tummy Time Tools helps you make sure your baby gets enough time on his tummy each day. This is done through activities such as handling, carrying, diapering, positioning, feeding and playing with your baby.
Tummy Time Tools helps you make sure your baby gets enough time on his tummy each day. This is done through activities such as handling, carrying, diapering, positioning, feeding and playing with your baby.

Excerpt from page IV This book explains how root beers and other traditional soft drinks can still be made "from scratch" at home and includes a number of recipes devised especially for this volume. You'll also find a generous sprinkling of recipes dating from much earlier times which I have been collecting for many years culling them from old cookbooks newspapers and magazines. Featuring yesterday's tastes alongside today's techniques Homemade Root Beer Soda and Pop is able to fill several needs. First there is an unfortunate lack of books that discuss the creation of homemade soft drinks. A few books include one or two recipes but these are hard to find. Second as a history teacher I enjoy delving into the past. Accumulating recipes for root beers ginger ales and birch beers dating back many years decades and even centuries has been a pleasurable pastime. I've found some particularly unusual recipes such as those for Tomato Beer and Pumpkin Ale. Rather than allow these recipes to molder in dusty cookbooks and forgotten journals I wanted to share them with people who might be interested in re-creating the potable treasure of years gone by. Finally this book will teach techniques of brewing that are quite similar to those used in beer making and those who choose to do so can very easily go on to add delicious homebrewed beers to their repertoire of bottled homemade beverages.
HISTORICAL RECIPES IN THIS BOOK The sidebars of this book contain the word-for-word recipes written down many years ago by farm wives amateur scientists women journalists and experts in home economics. I enjoy reading these recipes because they offer a rare window into what Americans were drinking with their dinner--or during the hot work of blacksmithing threshing or clothes washing--so long ago. Often the most valuable parts of the recipe are the little comments by the person recording it comments that tell us of American attitudes about taste about drinking and even about humanity. These recipes may give you ideas for formulating new and modern ones on your own. Or you may want to try some of these recipes as written with no variation in the ingredients Really though you will obtain the best results by adhering to the modern brewing techniques outlined in chapter 3. You'll enjoy success by following the "refrigerator method" that was used in all of the modern soft drink recipes in this book. As with the modern recipes these older recipes will benefit from the use of utensils carboys and bottles that have been sanitized ahead of time with hot water to which some plain chlorine bleach has been added (about 2 tablespoons of bleach per gallon of water). Note too some differences in terminology. In years gone by when a recipe called for yeast it was expected that the cook would add a lump of bread dough (containing as it did active yeast) or a measure of beer with still-active yeast in it. Accordingly many of the historical recipes call for half a cup of more of yeast. This would be an absurdly excessive amount using today's granulated yeast. With modern ale yeast (available from homebrew supply shops) about 1/8 teaspoon per gallon should be about right. Actually the precise measure is really unimportant. The yeast will simply multiply until all the sugars are fermented--or until you stop the fermentation by chilling. Using more yeast than 1/8 teaspoon may cause the carbonation to proceed more quickly than you expect however. Wine yeast or even bread yeast will work too in the same amounts as with ale yeast if ale yeast isn't available. The earliest recipes here come from the 1600s; the last of them was written down in 1939. While none of the recipes was designed to make a strong alcoholic drink remember the basic principles of brewing to ensure that you create essentially nonalcoholic drinks if that is important to you. To make a virtually nonalcoholic drink you should not allow the yeast and sugar to work together for more than an hour or so before bottling. Except in the case of citrus drinks which carbonate very slowly nonalcoholic drinks should "work" only two or three days after bottling. Move them to the refrigerator as soon as the carbonation is right. Don't allow the drinks to overcarbonate or the alcohol in the drink might prove to go beyond trace amounts. Copyright Storey Books

Celia Rivenbark - Mommies know to hire SAT coach
Published: Saturday, January 18, 2014 at 3:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, January 17, 2014 at 10:05 a.m.
Just a year ago, I'd never even heard of something called an "SAT coach" and this week, well, I hired one.
Such is the power of peer pressure, middle-age Mommie style. All of a sudden, every time I was around other parents of high school juniors whether it was a ballgame, a dinner party or just making small talk at the grocery store, the talk turned to the SAT, which stands for Scholastic Aptitude Test or, remembering my own lackluster test scores, Stupid Algebra Tricks.
And then, after discussing upcoming testing dates and locations, the Mommie voices would lower to a near-whisper.
"Have you hired your coach yet?"
The first time I heard this I nearly choked on the artichoke dip I had been thoroughly enjoying.
"Huh? Nah. The Princess doesn't play any sports."
"Not sports! An SAT coach, silly!"
"Do what?"
I don't remember the SAT being that big a deal back in the Black Sabbath days. You took it one time, you hoped it wasn't a disaster and then you found out you were pregnant, got married and never thought about it again.
OK, maybe that was just my high school.
But a lot has happened since then. The SAT has spiffed up its image considerably. Just to sign up the Princess to take the test had me in tears. There were so many questions. And I had to upload a digital photo for her admission ticket which I had no idea how to do. The Princess did that part but took way too long to find a picture of herself that she liked.
"It doesn't matter!" I finally screamed. "The College Board doesn't care if your messy bun looks too messy. Just pick one already!"
Signing up to take the test took an entire evening. When I finally hit the "SUBMIT" button I felt like I should take a "Rocky" style victory jog around the house. Fortunately the mood passed and I had a beer instead. Good call.
And then, not more than a week later, the SAT coach talk started up.
"Have you got one yet?" I was asked by a friend.
"Yeah, it's called ALL HER TEACHERS."
But, after a while, I started to fret. The mommies are very clued in to these things. One had prepared a flow chart demonstrating the strengths and weaknesses of the various local coaches.
Another Mommie pulled me into a coat closet at a New Year's party and whipped out a coach's private number stored in her cell phone.
"Here you go," she said. "Happy New Year!"
"But I've read somewhere that it may not even help that much," I said lamely. "Why do parents have to micromanage everything?"
"My kid's score went up 200 points," she said, opening the closet door and booting me out, clearly regretting her decision to share. "Do what you think is best."
Me? I have no idea. But the Mommies have never steered me wrong. Coach starts in six weeks. I'm chilling the Gatorade.

As part of a embedded systems course at the university we (myself and two others) have created a robot that solves Rubik's cubes. In this project we have used leJOS, so we thought it would be interesting to post here.
We use two Hitechnic NXT Color Sensors to scan the cube, which has resulted in an updated lejos.nxt.ColorSensor class. All computations involved in the solving process are carried out in the NXT brick alone. No cheating.
For those who can read Danish, here is our project blog:
(And for the rest of you there are some pretty pictures )
During the process we have made a few youtube videos. The first one demonstrates our initial construction:
The second one demonstrates the motor control abstraction layer:
The third one show the final robot scanning and solving a cube all the way.
We unfortunately don't have building instructions for this. But you can find our source code here:

Erykah Badu has announced the release date for her fifth studio album, New Amerykah Part Two: Return of the Ankh. The new album is the singer's hotly anticipated follow-up to her critically acclaimed 2008 disc, New Amerykah Part One: 4th World War.
In contrast to New Amerykah Part One: 4th World War, which was digitally produced and political in tone, New Amerykah Part Two: Return of the Ankh features lush live instrumentation and taps into Badu's emotional side by thematically focusing on romance and relationships. "With Part One, I was standing at an apex, looking at what was going on around me politically, socially, and economically," Badu explained. "With Part Two, I'm hovering over me, looking at what's going on inside of me."

|MBB signee selected to Canadian DMNT
MOSCOW, Idaho - University of Idaho men's basketball signee Djim Bandoumel was one of 14 players named to the 2010 Canadian Development Men's National Team (DMNT) on Saturday.
As one of 19 players invited to a tryout last week, Bandoumel impressed enough to earn a spot on the national roster along with other collegiate and professional players.
Bandoumel, a 6-8, 215-pound forward who spent last season at Monroe (NY) College, will play in a series of exhibition games against other international teams with the DMNT from July 17 - August 2. The team beat Ivory Coast on Sunday by a score of 70-59 and plays Belgium on Monday.
"Djim brings athleticism, length and experience to our program," Idaho head coach Don Verlin said. "We are extremely excited to have him a part of the Idaho family and proud of his opportunity to compete for his home country."
The junior forward will eligible to play for Idaho in the 2010-11 season and will give Idaho a boost down low, especially on defense. He averaged 9.8 points, 6.1 rebounds and 1.9 blocks per game and helped lead the Mustangs to a 29-8 overall record, Region 15 and District III titles, and a seventh-place finish at the NJCAA National Tournament in March.
At the NJCAA Tournament, in which Monroe lost its opening round game, then rattled off three straight wins to take seventh, Bandoumel averaged 10.8 points, 6.5 rebounds, 1.8 blocks and shot .576 from the floor. He was also a second-team all-Region 15 pick and a Region 15 All-Tournament Team selection.
As a freshman at Monroe, Bandoumel helped lead the Mustangs to a 30-3 overall record, Region 15 title and a No. 9 NJCAA ranking. He played in 31 games and started 14, with 4.9 points, 3.1 rebounds and 1.2 blocked shots per game.

"And when he comes, he will prove the world wrong about sin and righteousness and judgment" (John 16:8)
Reflection:Here is the reaction of a 'pro-choice' person upon seeing what abortion is: "I have looked at the pictures on this site
on aborted babies and I started to cry. I have always believed in freedom of choice but after seeing this, I have to say this is just murder."
Prayer: Lord, as you promised, your Holy Spirit teaches us about you, and helps us to see the full truth about what is right and wrong. May that Spirit reveal to our world its sin and its salvation. Amen.

I still watch it.
I still watch it.
Thanks, Ed!
Paired with: poketrainer, Crusifox
Other than pichubro, I don't know of anyone that does. Most people agree that it sucks now. The reasons I hear most include the new voices being sucky and the way they just seem to be recycling the old episodes.
"I can't explain just how it feels,
the thoughts of my premature burial.
Inside this oblong box I lie,
with the hope I'll be buried alive."
I'm actually watching them all from Kanto to sinnoh but I must admit The DP season sucks
I'm trying to clean up like an edit
Maybe once every month, not much anymore.
Pokemon is different now. Most episodes are about either earning a badge, doing a contest, or helping people with their problems. The first few season were all fun. There was an episode about the squirtle squad (pure awesomeness), an episode about giant pokemon, an episode where they all raced with rednecks, and even an episode dedicated to pink pokemon.
It was more fun in the good old days.
I remember the pink pokemon episode. Ash's reaction to pikachu turning pink was hilarious. I need to get around and watch to old shows again.
"I can't explain just how it feels,
the thoughts of my premature burial.
Inside this oblong box I lie,
with the hope I'll be buried alive."
I just like to watch it to see the new pokemon in action.
Do my eyes deceive me, or is that Calicomary? :O
The first episode of course is brilliant. The very begining where it goes from gameboy graphics to Anime is classic. And the good old sparrow chase ending in the first instance of Pikachu thundershocking the hell outta stuff, before it became a cliche
I also remember this really early episode when Team Rocket actually didn't get blown up and they just fled on their own, with the whole we shall meet again type deal, and I was like "hmm, these guys might not be as big of losers as I thought, maybe they won't get blown up every single time", and then they get blown up in the next episode, and the next episode, and the next, and so on, it made me sad.
And wasn't there an episode dedicated to farfetch'd in season 1? I think I remember one
What's funny, or not so funny I guess, is the newest episode of Diamond and Pearl. Team Rocket decided to go back to their "old ways" in the episode. They made a robot that wasn't protected from electricty, James had a rose, and they used the old motto (D/P has a new retarded motto).
It was quite funny, but sad as well. Esepcally since they didn't have the same voice actors.
Yeah, It's sad to see VHS's die....
It's like a family member dying, except sadder
And since they are a couple generations down the line, they aren't being made anymore. Hard to replace.
Although I know for a fact they still sell blank tapes, so you could copy them over onto new VHS's
Uh... Don't know how to do that. ^^;
I can only burn DVDs becuase I have a computer for a medium. VHS tapes are another matter...
In other news, here's another reason the first season was great: Misty was good fodder for comedy:
Can't forget the best scene of all time:
Strange how I can't find this scene with the words though. Oh well. The music is one of the best parts as well.
Yes, a very awesome scene better then any other.
Fallen Wings
I will never forget the moment as Butterfree left Ash to pursue his love amongst a crowd of his peers

Pecotic Wins Twice Saturday at National Indoors
Princeton senior Matija Pecotic won twice Saturday at the USTA/ITA National Indoor Intercollegiate Championships to advance to Sunday's consolation final at the National Tennis Center in New York.
Pecotic defeated Cameron Silverman of Elon 6-2, 6-4 in the quarterfinal and Ryan Lipman of Vanderbilt 6-0, 4-6, 6-3 in the semis to advance to Sunday's consolation final against Peter Kobelt of Ohio State.
"Matija had a great day with two wins against strong players," Princeton head coach Billy Pate said. "He played very confidently and controlled the tempo in both matches. We'll have a tough challenge tomorrow going against possibly the biggest server in college tennis. It should be a great match."
In Florida, Zack McCourt and Dan Richardson continued play in the Lakewood Ranch clay court tournament. Richardson beat Guillermo de Vilchez of South Florida 7-5, 7-6(5) and then defeated Henrique Tsukamoto 7-6(5), 6-3 to reach the consolation final. McCourt lost to Mike Alford of Florida 6-4, 6-4 in his last singles match of the event, and the pair lost to Billy Federhofer and Gordon Watson of Florida 8-3 in the doubles semifinal.
The consolation bracket for the USTA/ITA tournament is available here.

Bringin it back. Posting previous work before a new one right after, so expect lots of stuff in here.
This thread is open to discussion, but i ask you to not go insane. I don't want super nubsplosion going on. Mostly this will just be my thoughts in standard rant format, similar to my last one (for those of you who read it). So expect something like that, but a little more light.
This will also be the Adam tracker. When i'm going away for an extended period, this will be the official place i announce it. Even if i'm gone for a week unannounced, i will at least update this at my first possible moment. Other mods, i ask you to take care of this in my absence as well. I dont mind off topic, but if flaming gets out of control get rid of it all. If useless spam comes up get rid of it. I dont want a page and a half about MC hammer showing up by the time i come on the next day.
Also, some things are forbidden here. Here is a list, albeit short, of what i currently do not want to see, unless i open the floodgate. This list may update at any time so check back occasionally.
-Stale Debates, such as the current middle east situations
-Nationalistic (context?) flames like Spain sucks
-Flame wars that dont start in here (such as kakashi/CL flaming)
These are off limits (as in must be deleted) if it appears without me starting it. It will also end when i say it. It will be obvious, such as:
The current religious discussion is now closed.
Anything in said subject following said message, will be deleted. Deleted reasonabley of course, if you're typing a post while i give the message, i'll let it go. The beauty of checking post times. 10 minute window, about that.
These are the ground rules.
