TOG ET: Friends not Enemies
TOG ET:Friends, Not Enemies
First person shooters are all about anonymous avatars getting the most frags, about 'deathmatch', and 'capture the flag' and 'domination'… aren't they?
Enemy Territory (ET), a free, stand-alone multiplayer mod for Return to Castle Wolfenstein, is so much more than just mindless slaughter. Its team focused, objective-based gameplay has spawned numerous local ladders and world-wide international competitions. What's more, playing ET as part of a team or clan raises the enjoyment factor immeasurably, transforming the game into a better FPS experience.
A Brief History of the Division
The history of the Enemy Territory Division of TOG is a rich and storied one. Division Captain Bobcat has already compiled a superb history of ET for TOG (available to current TOG members here) but, behind this formal history lies the stories, the games and the personalities that have made the ET Division more than a game - a community.
Bobcat in particular has anecdotes and memories of ET that could repair a tank. He kick-starts this trip down ET memory lane with his recount of the now-infamous shoutcast of the match between TOG and Carnie.
"To spread a little light on this Carnie match (and no, I, Renegade, am not publicly admitting to using an offensive mortar). It was game 1, season 1 I think. We never made it past the first barrier and were lucky to get that far. We had a team that upheld the TOG spirit and was completely disorganized - but individually there were some really good players, just absolutely no cohesion. It was fun though.
Our FIRST Ladder match win was posted on EVERY forum in TOG. Took me (Renegade) ages to do them all but I managed it. Probably get kicked out for spamming nowadays."
Subsequent games and shoutcasts proved just as amusing for all concerned. The TOG vs Elite Guards certainly springs to mind here, coming as it did with the intro header 'Young girls and old men playing games over the internet, who woulda' thought!' The curious can still find it over at Gamestah for their aural pleasure.
Then there was our first TV experience. We were called to help out with GoodGame's Roffle Cup: "Aiyiah fancies himself a jack of all trades, while our editing guru Argonaut has been going hard praccing Enemy Territory. Their 2 teams face off against each other with the help of TOG, and it all ends in tears." Unfortunately, from memory, GoodGame stood us up a couple of times, so when the event finally was on, we didn't have time to grab many players. Still, it was a fun night.
Out of game, well, Ned's LAN's must definitely get a mention. Ned has put on many a LAN for ET, and it's given the Queensland contingent of the Division a semi-regular meeting place – though not always without the odd problem cropping up:
I (Bobcat) have had the privilege of meeting; Butterfly, Gel, Ecru, Cannonfodda, Shrek, Requum, 303 and others thanks to Ned's hospitality. [This particular night] we were going to set up a server so we could play and also get some players in via the net. Sounds easy right? No. It took poor Requiem and Irene all day, from 10am to set it up. I think we (finally) got it up and running close to midnight
Another LAN highlight was the look of horror on Ecru's face when he had to use Ned's spare computer. I'm not sure if it was the hot pink desktop or the fact that it was a Windows machine that shocked him more!
Real world relationships have enriched (and sometimes complicated) the Enemy Territory TOG gaming experience. Fathers, sons, daughters, brothers and sisters have all played their part in the TOG ET story. Some have contributed as players: there are twin brothers Smartie and Renegade, brothers Macca and Invader; Alpha Gamma is SureShot's father, Claw's son, Kaotic, even plays ET and has just joined the Socials ladder team. Others have contributed as partners, such as Moonshine and ENVY. Then, too, are the many partners and children that do not play ET but still contribute to the enjoyment that it offers the gamer in the family*.
The ET Division has always been a competitive one, and our teams have won their fair share of matches over the 18 seasons of GameArena's ET Ladder, not to mention playing hard in several other ladder comps. The Commits, a team of dedicated TOG ET players even held the number one spot on the GameArena Ladder, following the now-famous victory over the incumbent champions, The Wood Ducks. Another of our teams, The Socials, has the longest active history in the GameArena ladder competition, having played the most games and remained in the competition for the most number of seasons. Long-time member Alpha Gamma remembers the early days fondly:
"Ahhh , those were the days, 3-4 scrims a week plus a match. With the map testing with Ned and his overseas map makers, made for a full schedule but lots of fun "
While they may not have the best win loss/record (the Socials currently sit at 54 wins and 113 losses – not quite as good as the newly formed semi-committed team's 16/33), the TOG ET players continue to held in high esteem by other players and teams. Fate, a more recent recruit to the TOG ranks, remembers that "TOG [was] the team we always asked for scrims, and also that Ned and Alpha Gamma set us up (eXtreme) with 10v10 pub style matches a couple of times." This is a common theme in the ET community – members of TOG seemed to have risen to the top, not only within the GameArena community, but across a range of servers and competitions in the Australian ET community, such as Austourney, and even in a New Zealand Ladder competition.
With such a long lifespan to date, the Division is home to a number of famous (and infamous) personalities. Claw is a living legend within the ET Division, and his status as bona fide, certified TOG Legend is a testament to this. Even this brief look at the Division wouldn't be complete unless it included something from the great man himself:
"When new to ET playing with Neddie, and not used to (enemies pinching your team-mate's pants) and being in disguise, Neddie called out 'shoot Neddie in disguise' so I did, to the yell of 'Noooo not me!'…
Well he did tell me (to shoot him)."
Claw GOLD.
The TOG knife rush is TOG's ultimate legacy to Enemy Territory. It epitomizes the TOG spirit. When faced with a spawn camp, or an impossible enemy, most other clans would just slash quit. Not TOG. When a TOG team has its back against the wall and knows that the fight is all but hopeless, this is when machine guns, handgrenades, panzerfausts and K43s are thrown aside as useless. Rather than give a prone-lying, spawn-camping anonymous enemy the satisfaction of quitting, TOG teams draw knives and charge!
It's rarely a successful tactic – scratch that, it's never a successful tactic: TOG die by the dozen. But how they die! They die well. They die with hearts on sleeves and TOG pride intact. They die, and then they come back to hurl themselves at the enemy once more! Long live Enemy Territory - long live TOG.
*To avoid complications (i.e. divorce), the logistics of these relationships - the machinations and contractual agreements that allow for one partner to spend a copious amount of time playing ET rather than interacting with the other - shall not be disclosed or discussed.

text: It's easy enough to mod the weapon values yourself though. I've currently got the AK alongside the M16, and it has a lower AP cost on burst fire (to represent the fact that the default setting for an AK is full auto) and packs a little bit more of a punch, due to the larger calibre ammo. Accuracy across the board isn't quite up there with the M16 though, so that's still the better choice for dedicated riflemen who sit back in cover and ping across long range shots.

Farmer, Bee Keeper, and Olympic Mountain Biker, Georgia Gould Primed for London Olympics
Submitted by Amy Thompson on
Today's Denver Post featured a great story about Olympic mountain biker Georgia Gould
Georgia Gould is a farmer at heart, and her backyard is like a small farm. She has chickens, honey bees and a vegetable garden. Gould, 32, is preparing for her second Olympiad. She placed eighth in mountain biking in Beijing in 2008 but is a strong candidate to medal this time...
This adopted Coloradan from Baltimore via Sun Valley, Idaho, is into the environment and into another Colorado endeavor. Gould is Colorado's queen bee of mountain biking. Change that. She's the queen bee for the United States, which she will represent for the second straight Olympics next month in London.

Why do Trek, Specialized, Orbea, Felt, etc., etc., etc., make women specific race bikes, mountain and road? I'll answer your question - because there is a market. However you're probably smarter than their marketing teams and perhaps they should listen to "anonymous 303 sexist guy".

Yeah, there's a market there, a small one. The smart guys/gals at Specialized/Trek/Orbea/Felt, etc, etc, etc... have determined that it's not the best use of limited marketing dollars to sponsor women's teams or races to promote sales to that market. The smart guys/gals at most every major corporation have also apparently decided that women's racing is not a good use of limited marketing funds.
Thanks for the lead in for yet another opportunity to bolster the argument against equal pay/prizes for women cyclists.

You cannot tease this out
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
You cannot tease this out into an argument based solely on economics outside of academic exercise, in part because economics is a human endeavor, not a hard science. Again, a piss poor argument. You're just justifying your opinion via economic rationalization, or shifting the argument back on to Georgia (or more generally, women).
Here's why the pay should be equal between male and female cyclists: BECAUSE UNEQUAL PAY IS INHERENTLY SEXIST! Think about the fact that any of your wives, sisters, mothers, daughters, girlfriends, et cetera are making $0.77 for every $1.00 that you, I, or Kris T. makes FOR THE SAME WORK. This is no different. It's disappointing to see opposition to this coming from within cycling's grassroots, really disappointing.
Of course, this comes in part from a cycling community that has also justified paying out Master's racers more than Pro Women, so maybe I should not be surprised? (Let the flames loose?)
Perhaps even more disappointing is the attempt to shift blame onto women, or challenging them to justify why they should be paid equally for their efforts. The economic impact (vis a vis sponsorship returns) is a poor rationale to use, given how tenuous it is even for men's cycling teams to justify, and really seems a thin veil for the argument "this is how it's always been, why change it?"
More ranting to come I imagine...

LEE HORTON'S OUTDOORS COLUMN: Waiting anglers have options

Peninsula Daily News
FISHING IS ABOUT to take off on the North Olympic Peninsula.
It will be great. There will be the lowland lakes opener next Saturday (April 27), and then the halibut and spot shrimp opener the following week.
After that, it seems the openers keep coming throughout most of the summer.
Anglers will have plenty to do.
Before then, they still have options.
Rivers fishing
The wild steelhead fishery closes in less than two weeks, but the interest in catching and releasing wild steelhead is already winding down.
"It's been so-so," Bob Gooding of Olympic Sporting Goods (360-374-6330) in Forks said.
"The number of people fishing has tailed way off."
Many anglers headed to the West End last weekend to fish for native steelies on the Hoh River before its season ended.
Water conditions made the Hoh difficult to fish, so they had to head to one of the other rivers.
So, there could be one more big push for wild steelhead right before the fishery closes for the year on Tuesday, April 30.
Since the yearly limit is only one native steelhead, though, most anglers may instead elect to move on to halibut or shrimp.
Spring chinook and summer-run steelhead are showing up, but not in large quantities yet.
It's still early.
"There's a few, but not many," Gooding said of the spring chinook.
"Everybody wants it to be hot this time of year, but it ain't."
But there are springers in the rivers.
"That's a good sign," Brian Menkal of Brian's Sporting Goods and More (360-683-1950) in Sequim said.
Coastal lingcod
LaPush (Marine Area 3) and Neah Bay (Marine Area 4) are both open to lingcod fishing.
Neah Bay just opened Tuesday. The LaPush season has been under way for a month now.
"When [anglers] get out, they have been doing fairly decent," Gooding said.
"But, the weather has been rough."
Lakes report
It isn't quite the hot spot it was a few weeks ago, right after the state Department of Fish and Wildlife planted 300 cutthroat trout, but anglers are still having success as this column's favorite lake.
"There's lots of fish in there," Menkal said.
If you're willing to be patient, you should be able to catch a trout.
I have also heard good things about the catch-and-release action at Gibbs Lake.
Ward Norden, a fishing tackle wholesaler and former fishery biologist, said the popularity of Lake Leland in recent months could mean anglers are looking for cheaper ways to get their fishing fixes.
Oysters and clams
Menkal said many anglers have been focused on harvesting oysters and clams.
Oysters seem to be the most popular right now, with Sequim and Hood Canal being the most common destinations.
But, Dosewallips State Park, Oak Bay County Park and South Indian Island County Park are also options.

Gadsden, Ala.–Faculty and students at Gadsden State Community College have worked hard this year to make the holiday season a little brighter for the less fortunate in our community. The Christmas Showcase, which is held every November in conjunction with the Miss Gadsden State Community College pageant, was the biggest fundraiser that was coordinated by the College and all proceeds from the event were donated to the Salvation Army. A silent and live auction brought in funds totaling $5,204 for the fifteenth annual event.
The Gadsden State Student Nursing Association hosted a Christmas party for children ages 11-18 in two long-term residential units at Mountain View Hospital. The nursing students donated calendars, robes, socks and other gifts. The students used funds from a Student Nursing Association T-shirt sale to purchase gift cards for each child.
Each year in conjunction with various charitable drives, Deb Reynolds, electrical technology instructor, coordinates a coat drive. To date, 152 coats have been donated this year. The donated coats will be distributed to needy Gadsden State students and local mission groups. Reynolds said that she is continually amazed by the outpouring of support and generosity of the Gadsden State family.
Electrical engineering, electronics and industrial maintenance students collected change throughout the holiday season to provide a housewarming present to the new owners of a Habitat for Humanity home that was constructed in conjunction with Gadsden Job Corps, and the Gadsden State carpentry and heating, ventilation and air conditioning departments. The gift included towels, washcloths, coat hangers, laundry bags and a shower curtain.
Three Gadsden State Cherokee employees, Dr. Martha Lavender, Chad Steed and Jill Heishman, participated as members of a fundraising team in the Cherokee County Chapter of the American Red Cross HEROES Campaign. Through a series of fundraising events, the team including Gadsden State members raised $8,400.00, which was the highest total of all teams included in the campaign. The main fundraiser was RIDE for the RED, a charity motorcycle ride through Cherokee County.
Several student clubs and groups actively participated in various community projects. Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society collected small toys, outerwear, school supplies, bibles, games and toiletries for children (infants-age 16) during their annual Christmas stocking stuffer event. The stockings were donated to the Salvation Army. The Ayers Campus Student Government Association collected toys and non-perishable items to present to two families they sponsored for Christmas. The Cherokee Campus Student Government Association collected two boxes of canned goods which were donated to the County Baptist Association's Crisis Center.
The Realtime Reporting Program's faculty and students spread their holiday spirit around the globe as the group sent nine care packages to United States Special Operations soldier and Wellborn resident, Alex Jarome, and his unit who are stationed in Iraq. The students and faculty have a continuing goal to send the group a package every two weeks during the remainder of their tour. Leah Elkins, court reporting and captioning instructor, said that the group has continued to communicate with Jarome through Facebook. "Alex told the group that talking with all of us makes his time go by faster," Elkins said. "We are so happy our students have taken time to make a soldier's holiday away from home easier!"
The faculty and staff helped 20 Gadsden State students and 27 children from the community by donating gifts, gift cards and gas cards to these families. Gadsden State President W. Darryl Harrison remarked, "We are glad to be a positive part of our communities throughout the year. It is even more special during the holidays to reach out to those in need and their families. I am proud of the consistent support our Gadsden State family has shown and pleased that we can make the holidays brighter for many. Gadsden State is committed to improving the lives of area residents both inside and outside the classroom."

b. 1962, Porto Novo, Benin
Romuald Hazoumé began his artistic career in the late 1980s without any formal artistic training. Though raised in a Catholic family, he remains connected to West African Vodun, which he often uses as a guiding principal or inspiration for his work.
Hazoumé uses salvaged materials as an artistic medium, transforming discarded items into spiritually and culturally significant works and installations. He is most widely recognized for his masks made of old gasoline containers and the like, which convey the Vodun idea that materials possess a spiritual nature of their own. Through his choice of objects—metal, liquor bottles, and petrol containers—Hazoumé also explores cultural and political issues such as globalization, the legacy of slavery and colonization, and the role of the oil industry in Benin.
The artist's solo exhibitions include Romuald Hazoumé: Cargoland, October Gallery, London (2012); Romuald Hazoumè, Irish Museum of Modern Art, Dublin (2011, traveled); Romuald Hazoumè: My Paradise – Made in Porto Novo, Herbert Gerisch- Stiftung, Neumünster, Germany (2010); Exit Ball, aliceday, Brussels (2009); and Romuald Hazoumé: La Bouche du Roi, The Menil Collection, Houston (2005, traveled). His work has also been shown in numerous group exhibitions such as 100% Africa, Museo Guggenheim Bilbao, Spain (2006); African Art Now: Masterpieces from the Jean Pigozzi Collection, The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston (2005, traveled); and Africa Remix: Contemporary Art of a Continent, Museum Kunstpalast, Düsseldorf (2004, traveled). He participated in the 3rd Moscow Biennale of Contemporary Art (2009); 3rd Gwangju Biennale, South Korea (2000); 1st Liverpool Biennial of Contemporary Art (1999); and 6th Bienal de La Habana (1997).

Outside of good genes and a stress free life, how does one handle aging skin? Basically, it comes down to sun protection, gentle skin cleansing, and being smoke-free. These are life-long commitments that need to begin very young.
Recommendations such as these are known to many, though often they are not followed because skin damage shows up long after the sunburn or the zit-picking one does at 13. A tan looks and feels great when one is younger, but get one repeatedly over the years and the body will not be able to repair the damage. Popping pimples is almost mandatory to one's psyche. Popping the wrong pimples creates an invasive scar that will never heal properly.
So again, it is all about balance.
When it comes to sun, use a sun screen of at least 15. Seek shade when the rays are strongest: between 10am and 4pm. Wear clothing that will offer some form of protection so that skin exposure will be minimized.
Skin care needs to be skin appropriate. If a person uses creamy products when the skin is oily or astringent products on dry or dehydrated skin, the protocol will not yield the desired results for which the person bought a new product in the first place. Furthermore, adding new products will not fix bad habits such as smoking.
Smoking constricts blood vessels. Constricted blood vessels deplete the skin of nutrient-rich oxygen. When nutrition does not reach the skin, collagen and elastin breakdown. Moreover, the repetitive muscle contractions that are common to the habit—the pursing of lips and squinting of eyes—will contribute to wrinkles in those areas.
Take a look in the mirror. What reflects back today is not the end result forevermore.

Book Critique Example: What Can Be Learned From Others' Works?
A critique of a book is a common assignment given in various courses. In that regard, searching for a book critique example might not be helpful, as examples of critique might not show the common patterns in writing such assignments. Nevertheless, in the following sections of this article, we will try to give an idea of how a book critique example might be helpful in writing your own critique.
Mainly, if taking a simpler approach, a book critique is an analysis, and in literary context, such analysis implies weighing the quality of the work. Taking a look on a book critique example, you have an idea of the set of criteria used in weighing such quality.
Additionally, the assessment of the quality is often conducted against other works of literature. In that regard, a book critique example might give you an idea of the works used to analyze a literary work, where sometimes they might be members of the same genre, in other cases, belong to the same historical period, and in instances, they might be written by the same author.
The point is that you have to find decent literary ground to measure your assigned book against it. A book critique example might not show you what book to chose, unless the example is on the same work as yours, but it might give you an idea of the criteria used in the book critique example.
Finally, a book critique example might show how to structure your critique, where the examination of a work is not a chaotic process, but rather an organized set of ideas, a glimpse of which you can obtain through the book critique example.
Writing your own book critique can be a tiresome experience, unless you know the process of doing so. Reading a book critique example might not serve you any good, in terms of writing, but nevertheless, this article showed that there are aspects that can be learned through such book critique examples.

Lucasforums upgraded
Lucasforums has now been upgraded to vBulletin 3.7. There are some minor changes to the layout of the forums, along with a fair amount of new features.
If you notice anything that doesn't look or work like it should please post about it in this thread.
Here is a quick list of some (but by no means all) of the new features available in the new version of the forum. Please note that some of these features might be disabled in the future depending how how well they work out.
- You can toggle multiquote for posts by clicking the quotation mark icon in the lower right corner of the post. Any posts selected this way will be quoted in your post when you click the "Reply to this thread" button.
Linked quotes
- Automatically generated quotes will now include a quick link which takes you to the post that has been quoted when clicked.
Improved text editor
- The text editor (where you write posts etc) has been improved with several new features making it easier and less annoying to use.
Thread tags
- When posting a thread you can specify a number of tag words that are relevant labels for that particular thread. When clicking on a tag in the tag list of any thread the forum will list all other threads that also had that tag word speficied. You can also use tags when searching for posts.
More BBCodes
- A number of new BBcodes used for formating text in posts have been added. The full list can be viewed
AJAX features
- Various features now use AJAX to allow you to quickly change things without having to reload the whole page. These include:
You can mark a forum as read by double clicking the icon to the left of the forum name.
Name completion for PM recipients, buddy/ignore list etc. Begin typing and the forum will show a menu with matching member names.
You can change the title of a thread by double clicking the area next to the title link (not the link itself) in the forum listing.
You can edit your posts directly in the thread display when using the edit link.
Viewing an individual post by a member on your ignore list no longer requires the page to reload.
You can edit your public profile information (interests, location etc) directly on your profile page.
- When sending PMs to multiple members you will now have place recipients in a blind carbon copy list to hide who else has receive the PM (like it worked before). Names placed in the regular "To" field will be viewable by all the recipients.
Signature image
- Like with your avatar, you can upload an image to use in your signature, lessening the need for using external image hosting services.
Member Profile
- The member profile screen has been greatly expanded to link together social networking features, blogs and picture albums with the normal profile information. There is a "public messaging" feature that allows members to leave messages at the profiles. You may also review any infractions you have received on your own profile.
Picture Albums
- You can host a number of pictures in your profile and arrange them into thumbnailed albums where public comments can be left for pictures. Albums can be publicly viewable, or restricted to only members on your Contacts list. Standard forum rules about what is appropriate applies to picture albums as well; LucasForums staff can view albums restricted to contacts.
Social Networking
- The new forum version includes various social networking features:
- The buddy list has been replaced with the Contracts and Friends lists. Your Friends will be viewable in your profile with quick links to their profiles. Friendships are mutual, i.e. anyone you add to your friends list must give their approval. Contacts, in addition to working like the old buddy list, can be used to limit who may leave public messages on your profile and do not have to be mutual.
Social Groups
- Social groups offers a mini-forum of sorts where members can leave comments and share images in their albums. Groups can be public where anyone can join, or invite-only. Groups can be moderated by the group leader. Please note that normal forum rules also apply to social groups, and LucasForums staff can view invite only groups.
Calendar Events
- You can now add events to your private calendar that will show up as a reminder on the forum front page at the specified dates. Staff members can post public events visible to all visitors, while regular members can post private events visible only to them.
- You can now create a blog from your user control panel screen, or read other people's blogs by choosing "Blogs" in the quick links pulldown menu at the top of the forum pages. How many blog entries you have, along with a link to your blog, will be shown beneath your portrait on each of your forum posts.
The forum upgrade also offers lots of new functionality on the moderator side:
Inline moderation
- You can select threads in a forum display and choose a moderator action to perform on them from a menu at the bottom of the page. Similarly posts in a thread can be selected and an action applied to all of them. Threads can be locked/unlocked by double clicking the status icon to the left of the thread title in the forum display.
- Infractions formalize the handling of moderator nudges and warnings. Click on the yellow/red card icon on a post to issue an infraction for that post. Posts that have had an infraction issued have a yellow or red card indicator in the lower bar. Members will be sent a PM about the infraction they've received along with the moderator's note/motivation.
Each infraction is worth a certain number of points/strikes. Once a member has accumulated a specific amount of infraction points automatic measures might be taken, such as a ban from the forums. Members can review any infractions they have received on their profile screen.
Deleted/Moderated message lists
- You can view any messages or threads that have been soft-deleted or sent to the moderation queue from your usercp.
Moderation tools
- A number of new features for moderation is available:
Spam prevention
- Moderators can delete messages "as spam", taking appropriate action against the poster and deleting any other posts they have made.
Copy posts
- Moderators can copy selected individual posts from a thread into either a new thread, or merge them with an existing one.
Move posts
- Moderators can move selected individual posts from one thread into either a new thread, or merge them into another existing thread.
Merge posts
- Moderators can merge selected posts in a thread into a single post (to fix double-posting or the like).
Thread redirects
- When moving a thread you can now specify how long the
redirect notice will remain in the old forum.
- Announcements can now be added directly from the forum tools menu in a forum section without having to go through the moderator control panel.
Integrated reports
- You can now view all reported posts in forums you moderate directly in the forum. A message on the front page and in the top navigation bar will indicate any open reported posts.

Excellent modern hotel
Very attentive staff and very comfortable - great breakfasts.
Welcoming, comfortable, clean and a little too bright in places
A great place to get to after two days gruelling walks along the south-west coastal path.
Would love to have had a hot deep bath - and could have for a £40 upgrade (nope!). Staff welcoming and friendly on arrival, but less so at breakfast on Monday morning though - please smile, even if you did have to get up early. Food ample and good (easily replaced the 2500 kcal burned up on the walk). Wear shades for the brilliant white area on the ground floor before you ascend to your room - it's a bit Ex Machina and hard on the eyes. Otherwise enjoy!

Funky, comfortable, friendly staff, great!
Lovely room with comfortable bed, fantastic en-suite particularly the shower.
Very well appointed hotel and I loved the trendy decor. All the staff were polite and friendly, the breakfasts were delicious too. Altogether excellent, I would definitely stay at Habasca again!

Good as a base
Staff were brilliant, very helpful and very friendly.
Food was good and room was good, with the exception of the balcony which was very dirty, in need of a good power hose. The bathroom was very small and the shower head was too big for the tiny shower. The only other complaint was about the noise, from other guests, banging up and down the hall on the noises floor boards, and slamming of the heavy doors on and off though out the night and starting up again at 6 am. Not the hotels fault but the noise travels very well through these walls.

By Dr. Cameron Chai
The nanoparticle-infused transformer oil improves the capability of devices, ranging from microelectronic components to electrical transformers, to remove excess heat. The research team conducted the study in the lab of Pulickel Ajayan, a materials scientist at the Rice University.
Transformer oils are used to cool and insulate a transformer's windings in order to prevent voltage leakage and shortage. Narayanan commented that a 0.1 weight percentage of boron nitride suspended in transformer oil improves its efficiency by roughly 80%.
According to Taha-Tijerina, a trace amount of boron nitride nanoparticles not only improves the efficiency but also retains the electrically insulating properties of transformer oils. Narayanan explained that the 600-nm width, five-atomic-layer thick boron nitride particles have high dispensability in oil and have high resistance to electricity.
The research team has also discovered that the presence of boron nitride nanoparticles has only a minimum impact on the viscosity of the transformer oil. Ajayan commented that the value of existing applications can be optimized with the help of novel materials and innovative methods. Thermal management is a major concern in industry that can be addressed with the selection of right materials. He added that the two-dimensional nature of the nanoparticle fillers retains their stability in oils and prevents them from settling down for a longer period.

As with most cafes, one is greeted with the intoxicating aroma of coffee upon entering the original Dilworth Coffee at Kenilworth Commons. Unlike some of the more commercialized coffeehouses, however, one is also welcomed by the employees. While the coffee, espresso, and other beverages are indeed magnificent, it's the baristas that make this a place worthy of a return trip.
Those drinks are expertly-made--I've even somehow earned a design in the foam of my latte on several occasions. Plus, the employees are eager to provide suggestions and advice and obviously have an excess of knowledge to share. I've tried many of the coffee blends and flavored lattes, and none have ever disappointed.
If customers are looking for beans to brew themselves, they can select from a wall of wonderfully flavored and diversely roasted beans which can be bought whole or taken to the back and ground finely or coarsely, depending on what is desired. The atmosphere is quiet and cozy, and this has quickly become one of my favorite places to enjoy a fine drink and relaxing break.

Fresno, Calif. - Playing the early game in day two of the Fresno State Invitational, the Pacific women's volleyball team handed Cal State Bakersfield a 3-0 loss on Saturday, August 29. The win was the second of the tournament for the Tigers while the Roadrunners dropped to 0-2. Set scores for the match were: 27-25, 25-23, 25-16.
Continuing their momentum from the opening match of the tournament the night before, the Tigers posted their second straight victory to move into position to take home th etournament championship. Despite the momentum of the big win the night before, the Tigers needed a furious rally early to put themselves in position to sweep the match away from Cal State Bakersfield.
Playing even through much of the first set, Pacific found itself on the wrong side of a five point lead late in the opening set as the Roadrunners took advantage of a pair of errors from the Tigers to capture a 22-17 lead. Down five with the end of the set in sight for Cal State Bakersfield, Pacific mounted a comeback that would set the tone for the rest of teh match. Setting four different Tigers to end the set, Pacific blitz the Roadrunners to end the contest, mounting a 9-3 run to post the 27-25 comeback victory. Junior Svenja Engelhardt (Sinsheim, Germany) capped off Pacific's rally with a trio of kills, putting away the Roadrunners with a shot down the line that capped the Tigers first set victory.
Up one set, the Tigers pushed for the second set, turning the tables on the Roadrunners with their own 22-17 lead in set two. Again, using a multi-dimensional attack in which five Tigers posted kills through out, the Tigers were led by senior Mallori Gibson (Bakersfield, Calif.) in the set as she posted four kills on 15 swings. However, with the Tigers comfortably out front of Cal State Bakersfield, the Roadrunners attempted to return the favor to the Tigers from set one, rallying from five down to close the with in one point at 24-23. Lindsy DeGeare did most of the work for the Roadrunners in the set, posting five kills including three in the Roadrunners rally. Despite the attempted comeback, Pacific was able to shut the door on Cal State Bakersfield before needing extra points, closing the set on a Gibson kill to take the two sets to none lead.
In additon to their play at the net in the second set, the Tigers picked up important points behind the service line as Pacific posted three service aces in the set, half of its full match total. Gibson picked up one of her match-high two while Engelhardt and senior Olivia Riley (Agua Dulce, Calif.) picked up their first aces of the season.
After playing a pair of close sets to start the match, set three was completely different for the Tigers as Pacific pounced on the Roadrunners early and often, running out to a 20-8 lead before pulling back and cruising to the match victory. Up big, the Tigers were able to get their freshmen into the game as Gabby Cowden (Danville, Calif.) and Andrea Terpstra (Ripon, Calif.) enter the game as attackers while Pihanakealoha Kea (Honolulu, Hawaii) entered as the Tigers' setter. Kea picked up a pair of assists in the contest while Cowden and Terpstra combined toegther to pick up a block for Pacific. In addition, Cowden etched her name in the scorebook with her first career kill.
For the match the Tigers posted 45 kills in 116 swings, led by senior Masha Vaysburg (Livermore, Calif.) and sophomore Rebekah Torres (Wahiawa, Hawaii) who each had 10 kills. Vaysburg added three blocks on the day, combining with Gibson twice who had four blocks including two solo tallys. Additionally, Gibson dropped in seven kills and two aces to go along with her four blocks.
The Roadrunners were led by DeGeare who also tallied 10 kills on 30 swings. As a team, Cal State Bakersfield posted two team blocks and hit .137 from the net. Pacific will look to take home the championship hardware from the Fresno State Invitational at 7:00 pm on Saturday, August 29, when the Tigers face-off against Fresno State to close out the tournament.

Di Canio on 'important point'
by Kate Smith
Head coach forthright with post match verdict.
Sunderland boss Paolo Di Canio gave a frank assessment after watching his side play out a draw with Southampton at the Stadium of Light.
"Today's point is a very important point," the Head Coach told safc.com, however, he also conceded:
"We didn't deserve to win the game because Southampton did a better job than us.
"With 15 minutes to go we were 1-0 up and could perhaps taste the victory, but it didn't happen.
"I needed more from the players," Di Canio continued, "I have to be honest, after the first 25 minutes I could have made changes.
"I expect much more - my demands are very high."
Sunderland now head into the final game of the season to face Tottenham and the Black Cats boss insists that the team must only concentrate on their own performance.
"We have to move on and make sure we're fully focused on our next game. I want to see a different performance from Sunderland.
"Even after Tuesday's result [when Arsenal host Wigan] – whatever that may be – I want to see a professional performance at Spurs because we need to build a different mentality for the future."

Dear Car Talk Friends,
It's hard to imagine but it's that time of year again. My son Henry just turned three which means a really great cause is just around the corner!
In case this is all new to you, here's my story.
I'm a former Car Talk Producer who managed to survive my years working with Tom and Ray, and have recently found myself hauled back into life at Car Talk.
During the intervening years, however, I had my beautiful son Henry (soon to be Mayor of Car Talk Plaza).
Tragically, he was diagnosed with cancer at birth and immediately began the fight of his life.
Henry is a miracle boy who has been cancer-free for 2 years and 10 months! He's been through it all: chemo, surgery, blood transfusions, ambulance rides, feeding tubes... you name it. And today, he's a hilarious little guy (clearly something inherited from Tom and Ray) who loves fishing, dinosaurs, chocolate ice cream, and construction sites.
Now, here's the "great cause" part and where you come in!
Henry's survival is thanks to recent medical advances in the treatment and diagnosis of childhood cancers. Ten years ago, he probably wouldn't have made it. But, it all comes down to money. Yup, cash-ola. From generous people like you who open up their hearts and wallets and contribute to ending childhood cancers.
On August 2nd and 3rd, nearly 5,500 people will take to their bikes in the Pan Mass Challenge to raise money to fight and treat cancers. They hope to raise $34 million! For the past two years, Henry's amazing oncologist Dr. Sam has ridden in the PMC. This year, one of his former patients is riding in his place. A truly heroic woman named Rebecca - a brain tumor survivor. That's right. Rebecca beat brain cancer and is now hopping on her bike to help find a cure.
To read more about Henry, the Pan Mass Challenge, and to make a donation, click here.
Henry and I, and all of us at Car Talk Plaza. hope you will join in this effort. Please donate what you can to this important cause.
Every dollar counts towards saving a kid's life.
Catherine & Henry

The Dance Insider Illustration, 3-14: Dancescapes
Ananiashvili Brings it Home
Art & Text by Robin Hoffman
Copyright 2008 Robin Hoffman
Put in context, the unevenness shown by Nina Ananiashvili and the State Ballet of Georgia on February 29 at the Brooklyn Academy of Music pales compared to what they have achieved. Ananiashvili has only been working at the helm of the company since 2004, and she has transformed a broken institution into something presentable if not rivaling world-class just yet.
Four years is not very long to absorb some 18 new ballets (in addition to the classical repertory), unify training, develop dancers' talents, and surmount additional challenges in a place that lacked an artistic director, public performances, and even protection from the winter blowing into the dance studios in the years prior to Ananiashvili's arrival. So it wasn't a big surprise, for example, that though the star herself looked at ease in Balanchine's "Chaconne," the work sat uncomfortably and unevenly on the rest of the large cast. There is a unique stylistic learning curve with Balanchine.
I was mentally balancing my expectations this way through the evening when suddenly the tables turned. For the final piece on the program, "Sagalobeli," Ananiashvili had called upon her friend and former partner at the Bolshoi, Yuri Possokhov, now resident choreographer at the San Francisco Ballet. There could have been no one more perfect to give the State Ballet of Georgia a signature ballet. My Dance Insider colleague Aimée Ts'ao has previously noted Possokhov's talent for bringing out "the best in dancers and show(ing) facets of them that have not been even hinted at before." He did that and more for the State Ballet of Georgia. In the program notes, the choreographer (who hails from the Ukraine) writes, "For anyone who lived in the former Soviet Union, Georgian polyphonic songs, folk dances, theater, cinema, and art are an essential part of cultural awareness." Possokhov can bend ballet vocabulary to suit an expression, and he gave the audience and the dancers a ballet that spoke joyfully of a connection with the land and rhythm of life in that region. It was confidently and dynamically performed; truly owned by the dancers. (The traditional Georgian Folk music was performed live on traditional instruments by the Sagalobeli Ensemble.)
Sometimes, we don't need a company to be another Bolshoi or another New York City Ballet, we just need it to really be itself.
Nina Ananiashvili and the State Ballet of Georgia conclude their 2008 U.S tour this weekend at the University of Minnesota, with a mixed program tonight and with Ananiashvili
starring in "Giselle" tomorrow, before returning to perform at home in Tbilisi beginning April 5.

College Hockey:2006-07 Quinnipiac Season Preview
As their first year in the ECACHL commenced last year, few knew what to expect from the Quinnipiac Bobcats.
The results: a run close to a home-ice spot, and a first-round win over Rensselaer in the conference playoffs.
Now people know what the Bobcats can do — challenge the best in the ECACHL.
"As a team we were pleased with our first year in the ECACHL," said head coach Rand Pecknold. "We defeated five nationally-ranked teams and beat 10 of the 11 [other] teams in the league. Winning our first league playoff series, on the road no less, was another important step for this program."
Now that the Bobcats won't be taken lightly, there's hope in Hamden, Conn., especially with a new facility coming, and an attitude that it's going to help the program out tremendously.
"Everyone is excited about the prospect of playing in our own on-campus facility," said head coach Rand Pecknold, who recently signed a long-term contract extension as he enters his 13th year behind the Bobcats' bench. "It's going to be a great environment for players, coaches and fans alike."
Up front, the Bobcats lose five forwards, but 10 return including the line of Bryan Leitch (14-31-45), Ben Nelson (17-21-38) and Jamie Bates (21-20-41). They lead a talented group that has shown that it can score with the best, and which will be a force.
"With a strong mix of returnees and newcomers, I feel we have the capability to match our offensive productivity from a year ago," said Pecknold. "However, we can't automatically expect the same results. Out players aren't a mystery to the league any more."
One player who has never been a mystery is Reid Cashman. The senior defenseman is one of the best in the nation, and will anchor the defense. He will be marked, but he always finds a way.
"We're fortunate our blueline will again be anchored by one of the top defenseman in the nation in Cashman," said Pecknold. "A big key for us this year is our depth. We have nine defensemen that can all make an impact."
Back along with Cashman are Matt Sorteberg, Dan Lefort, Dan Henningson and Andrew Meyer. Add in John Doherty, Josh Duncan, Sami Liimatainen and Jordan Zitoun and the Bobcats indeed should have impact defensively.
In net Bud Fisher (.904 save percentage, 2.56 GAA) returns after a stellar freshman season. He will be pushed by Zach Kleiman.
"For us to be successful this year, goaltending is the key," said Pecknold. "Fisher stepped in right away last year and he showed a lot of poise and won some big games for us. We're expecting him to progress this year. Kleiman comes in with an impressive background and should battle Bud for playing time right away."
The Bobcats are not going to be a mystery this year; instead, the mystery may only be whether the Bobcats have enough to reach a first-round bye in the ECACHL playoffs in just their second year in the league.
"We are going to be tested by many top opponents in the first three months of the season," said Pecknold. "Our goal is to be playing some of our best hockey when we open the [new] building, and then to continue to play well as we head into the stretch run and, ultimately, the postseason."

Kittens and cats are very independent animals with personalities that are extremely unique. For ages they have made the purrfect house pet. Even though their love for you is unconditional they can be finicky, anti-social and hold a grudge. Cats are curious creatures and can be found in the darnedest places doing what pet owners and humans considered strange behavior and acts.
Today is an interesting holiday. It is a day specifically designed towards the pet owner regarding their cat. January 22 is "National Answer Your Cats Questions Day"! This gives the two legged creatures time to ponder what the answers to the questions are if your cat could talk.
What kind of questions would your cat ask?
So many times a cat and the owner have a conversation, both of which speak their natural languages it would be nice if there was a way to convert all the squeaks, meows, screeches and purrs into words we too can understand.
Here are some questions your cat may ask and need answers to:
- You don't really think dogs are the only four-legged animals that can fetch?
- Why do you place a great smelling blanket on the bed and chase me out of the room?
- Why am I not allowed to sit on top of the china cabinet, refrigerator or bookcase?
- Why do you let strangers come into my house?
- Why do you insist on petting me when it is obvious I have had enough?
- Why do you constantly have to close doors to rooms you know I want to investigate?
- Why do you insist on squeezing me into that cage and taking me to that horrible place?
Here are some answers to the questions you can tell your cat when they ask:
- To be honest, dogs are known for playing fetch. Until now I didn't realize that you could also play fetch with that sloth mouse you play with all the time. I am glad you do because it is fun and good exercise for both of us.
- This blanket is for our bed and it smells nice because it was just washed and dried with some fabric softener. The reason you are chased off is so that at night we won't be breathing in cat hair all night long and when you roll around on it you leave way too much fur behind.
- For one, we don't want cat hair falling down upon us every time we open the refrigerator door or getting inside. Second, even though you are agile and have a flexible bone structure you can still get hurt falling from a high place in the house. And last but not least, there are things on top that we definitely don't want knocked down and broken when you decide you need extra room to stretch out.
- Little did you know the house isn't yours it is ours, you just think you have domain over it. Second, those people aren't strangers they are friends and relatives whom we love and care for too. There isn't any reason for you to run and hide only to creep back out later and make friends with them once you feel a sufficient amount of time passed to investigate them.
- We know you can be temperamental at times and have limits but it is such a wonderful feeling to have you in our laps and to hear your purr as we pet you we didn't get out fill of that wondrous feeling and sound even though you might have.
- Bedrooms, the baby's nursery and the bathrooms aren't rooms you need to be in getting hair all over everything. Those doors are kept closed because we too need some privacy and want to keep them clean from flying fur. You shouldn't complain since you have the rest of the house to romp and sleep in.
- We wouldn't have to squeeze you in to that cage if you would just relax and get in calmly. As for that horrible place, you aren't there that long and we take you there to make sure your health is tip-top and get any medication you might need to keep you safe and healthy. It is only for an hour so, what's the big deal, if it didn't take that long to find you and get you in the cage you wouldn't have all that pent up anxiety.
What part of meow don't you understand?
Meow, meow, meow, purrfect!
Enjoy your cat and have fun talking to them while you celebrate "National Answer Your Cats Questions Day"!

Stan Lee, the famous co-creator of countless Marvel superheroes, will be unable to attend his scheduled appearances at Comic-Con this Friday and Saturday. The 91-year-old comics legend was scheduled for a meet-and-greet and DVD signing session Friday afternoon to promote his Mighty 7 franchise.
A spokesman for Stan Lee told the media today that, "Unfortunately, Stan Lee has lost his voice due to laryngitis and is unable to attend this year's San Diego Comic-Con, and has regrettably had to cancel his appearances. Stan is otherwise well and in good health, though he is disappointed to miss the event and wishes everyone a great time."
Fans of the legendary writer might be able to catch a glimpse of his cameo in Guardians of the Galaxy on Saturday at the Marvel Studios panel in Hall H at Comic-Con. While Marvel is keeping silent about its plan, people are speculating that Marvel will do something to promote the upcoming movie, either more footage or some appearances by the cast. The cast of the film includes Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista, Vin Diesel, Bradley Cooper, Lee Pace, Michael Rooker, Karen Gillan, Djimon Hounsou, John C. Reilly, Glenn Close, and Benicio del Toro. Fans can only hope that Marvel is scheduling a cast appearance as the surprise on Saturday.
If attendees have hope of an early screening, that is probably off the table. Director James Gunn, back on July 5th, said that there will not be an early screening. Unless plans have changed, it is unlikely that fans will get an early screening. It remains to be seen how Marvel plans to surprise the Comic-Con attendees.

The following question has been bothering me for sometime and any help will be greatly appreciated. Let me first fix notation. Let $G$ a group and for $a\in G$, let $\phi_a(x) = axa^{-1}, \forall x \in G$. You may take for granted that $\phi: G \to Aut(G)$, the map sending $a \to \phi_a$ is a group homomorphism.
Let $G$ be a normal subgroup of $M$. Denote by $C_M(G)$ the centraliser of $G$ in $M$. You may assume that that the function $f: G \times C_M(G) \to M$ defined by $f(g,m) = gm$ is a homomorphism of groups.
I would like to show the following:
(1) If $\phi$ is surjective then so is $f$
(2) If $\phi$ is injective, then so is $f$.
Thanks in advance!

Excerpt from Part One: What You Need to Know

In the Beginning, There Was the Microwave

You may be wondering why we didn't just make a vegan cookbook that requires a, you know, stove. Well, we know you're busy. After spending hours on end cramming Shakespeare into your head, we're positive that the last thing you want to do is stand in front of a hot stove stirring sauce or waiting for a pot of water to boil. And c'mon—a microwave is so much more accessible than a stove. Microwave in the student union or your dorm room? Check.Stovetop? Not so much.

Microwaved vegan food. Yum! Okay, we're not totally naïve here—we know this probably conjures up an image of a bowl of nuked, wilted kale or some other oh-so-healthy (but possibly gag-inducing) green food. However, at PETA we're all about breaking stereotypes, so we've created a cookbook dedicated to vegan food that doesn't require a stove and tastes delicious.

College is supposed to be the time in your life when you're really figuring out how to fend for yourself. You're already trying to figure out physics and how to get out of going to your 8 a.m., so who has time to learn how to flambé or frappé? Did you know you can actually make pasta without a pot or pancakes without a pan? Well, believe it, buddy. We can teach you all you need to know to make simple, effortless meals. You'll have plenty of time later on in life to make friends with your stove.

We're betting you've been there—nuking package after package of ramen. Opening the freezer with your fingers crossed, hoping there's a frozen burrito lurking behind the ice tray. Or gagging down some pizza, trying your hardest not to dwell on the fact that mold makes interesting shapes in a week—anything to put off actually spending time and effort cooking a meal. That's where we come in.

Why didn't we make a cookbook that's just like every other one out there? Because we love being the black sheep, the lone wolf, the creep in the back corner. Okay, maybe not that last one, but you get the idea.
We dare to be different, and we bet you are itchin' to do the same.

Heads Up
So we know you are old enough and smart enough to know how to work a microwave safely, but we still worry! Please humor us and keep the following in mind when using a microwave:

Take extreme caution when removing containers of hot food and boiling water from the microwave to avoid spills and burns. Burns don't feel so hot. (Get it?)

Although most plastic containers are microwave-safe, please double check before putting one in the microwave. When in doubt, use a container that is clearly marked "Microwave Safe" or "Microwaveable."

Of course, no metal objects in the microwave! You know you don't want to be that guy—the person in your dorm or apartment that catches the only working microwave on fire.

Also, FYI, all of these recipes were tested in 700-watt microwaves and heated on the HIGH setting unless otherwise mentioned in the recipe. Cooking times may vary depending on altitude and microwave.

OK , that should cover all of the boring, lecture-y stuff. On to the fun part!

We use these everyday at our office! We love that do not "ball up" after washing - like some of the other materials. Only negative thing I can say is that we have received a few that became undone (small area/whole) with just one washing. But we were able to sew it up and use many times more.
Excellent! Now I wish I had bought the sheets to go with the face covers.
covers are exactly what I needed... except I wish they came in more variety of colors

I'm attempting to log into my Amazon EC2 instance running Ubuntu 14.04 server edition. I'm running FreeNX. I installed FreeNX more-or-less following the instructions in the Ubuntu FreeNX documentation. I modified my
/etc/nxserver/node.conf file by setting
and adding the line
COMMAND_START_GNOME='gnome-session --session=ubuntu-2d'
which I got from this gist that I randomly found online.
I ran the following commands to enable
passdb authentication for my primary user (
sudo nxserver --adduser ubuntu
sudo nxserver --passwd ubuntu
I installed Ubuntu desktop
apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
and a slew of other desktops based on this Ask Ubuntu post:
sudo apt-get install gnome-shell
sudo apt-get install xfce4
sudo apt-get install gnome-session-fallback
My current problem is that, although the login seems to be working, I'm getting a black screen in my NX client; I've tried both the NoMachine and OpenNX clients on my mac. If I mess with my client configuration, I can access a terminal over NX, but I can't start any desktops.
When I attempt to start using the default "gnome" configuration, I get a black screen. I can't figure out how to start any other shell. I'm most interested in getting some form of gnome working, but I'll take what I can get.
The primary question: why am I getting a black screen when attempting to connect to a gnome shell and what can I do about it?

and changes in behavior or mental status. We have over 30 years experience providing quality mental health care in coordination with our older adult care partners. Our office is in Somerville, and we offer limited home visiting. To
find out more about these services, call our referral line at 617-591-6033. Please note that currently all patients must have a PCP at Cambridge Health Alliance.
Please note: Due to a high demand for our services, CHA is
prioritizing appointments for patients who are either enrolled in
Primary Care at CHA or are residents of our service area (Cambridge,
Chelsea, Everett, Malden, Revere, Somerville, and Winthrop, MA). If you
or your child do not meet these criteria, our staff may be able to
assist you in finding a referral service.
