text: I came across a nuBSG music video on YouTube today which I thought was pretty cool. It pairs scenes from nuBSG with music by Ayreon (progressive metal, progressive rock, usually concept albums). And I have to say, at least in parts, the results are pretty impressive. I know there are some other cool videos out there, so I thought we could post them in here. I think there was a thread on this some time ago. However, I didn't see it in the forum anymore and thus decided to go with a new thread.

The Brazil defender was strongly reported as being one of the Catalans' targets to strengthen their defence.
It was reported that Barca had placed at least one official bid to his club, but the 26-year-old said he was not interested.
"There was an official offer (from Barcelona), but I decided to stay at Chelsea," Luiz told Gazeta Esportiva.
"I am happy to play for a big club and be in the national team to represent my country."
Luiz joined the Blues from Benfica for around £20m in 2011 and has gone on to make over 100 appearances for the West London club.

Science Fiction and the Speed of Gravity
If you haven't seen the new Christopher Nolan film, Interstellar, I'm about to ruin parts of it for you. The movie touches on time travel in a scientific way using General Relativity but then makes a huge leap into an ability to influence the past via gravitational waves and wormholes. Personally, I thought that brought back the whole notion whether time travel actually implied fate (in this case yes) or could a traveler actually alter the timeline.
Anyway, if for no other reason, the movie made me go back and look at the notion of the speed of gravity. The question comes up with how gravity can influence objects over vast distances and whether if an object were to suddenly disappear whether the affects of its vanishing mass (to energy) would outrun the light. So for example, an object is orbiting a black hole at distance of several light years and that black hole suddenly exploded. Would the object continue to orbit even though there is no longer a gravitational attraction or suddenly split off into space even though the information (light) from the explosion is not yet "visible" (hence gravity effects are faster than light speed). The explanations behind warped space indicate the orbit will continue even without the mass because the warping does not instantaneously cease – like it does in classical Newtonian physics. Of course, none of those models talk about what a wave would do through a wormhole …
CIA Torture Report
The bad press for the CIA is old news, everyone already knew about the waterboarding and the torture allegations at secret sites around the world. However, everything has come back into the limelight with the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence's release of a scathing report on the CIAs' detention and interrogation programs. Originally, the document was a highly classified 6000 page report that after heavy redactions, resulted in a few hundred pages available to the public. The public version seems highly damning with regards to the methods and techniques not working effectively, but it really makes one wonder what is hidden in the other 5500~ish pages? The CIA leadership are not denying the methods but are adamant the methods were effective and continue to insist they were instrumental in located the Hide-n-Seek World Champion Osama bin Laden. Regardless of how the politicians spin the fingerpointing, the government is already bracing for reprisal attacks from the terrorist cells that can now read about what happened to their captured brethren.
NASA's Orion Success
NASA pushed itself forward again with a "successful Orion launch and orbital flight"http://www.nasa.gov/orion/. This launch utilized the powerful Delta IV booster, capable of putting 23 tons into space. Once in low Earth orbit, the second stage pushed the Orion capsule out to 3600 miles where it orbited 15x further out than the ISS. NASA notes this as remarkable because no craft designed for humans has been out that far since the lunar missions in the 70s. It's planned to be an entire system of equipment with an even larger booster set to push manned spaceflight back outside of Earth's orbit for deep space missions.
North Koreans Hacking Sony Pictures
The great hack against Sony Pictures has gotten a lot of press lately as one of the largest hacks of all time. Not only was the breach itself large, but the hackers posted an incredible amount of information to the public including unreleased movies, internal memos, salary information, and personal information about employees (medical, etc). The current belief is the group responsible for the attack is actually a state sponsored effort from North Korea. It's still unclear how the initial intrusion took place, but the security researchers are attributing the North Koreans based on similar tradecraft and tools found in forensics to include those tools containing Korean language strings. The upcoming movie, The Interview has been suggested as the motive behind North Korea leveraging its cyber force against Sony Pictures.
Global War On Terrorism Deserters
America has fought the Global War on Terror for thirteen years now. As a result of various reasons – conscientious objectors, political disagreement, cowardice, and others – a large number of Americans have deserted the military. Their stories vary, but many are hidden away in Canada facing deportation back to the United States where they face UCMJ (though allegedly only 1,866 of 35,598 deserters have been prosecuted in twelve years). Officially, Article 85, subjects deserters found guilty to death, "c) Any person found guilty of desertion or attempt to desert shall be punished, if the offense is committed in time of war, by death or such other punishment as a court-martial may direct."
Star Wars - The Force Awakens
The first trailer for JJ Abrams reboot of the Star Wars saga, Episode VII, is out in the wild. There's a quick synopsis of reveals at the Huffington Post regarding the actors and fanboy speculation. Nerds around the world have another year to wait until the actual movie is released, though.
What do you think?
Value of Being Published
Having one's work published in a trade journal, periodical, or even book is still often considered a mark of bona fides. But why? Especially now that anybody can spin up a publication mechanism or one with minimal barriers to publication. Another scam was uncovered in the peer review chains where authors were forging reviews to make their content stand out as superb. Even more glaring are the publishing mills that do not even check content which was recently exposed by the article "Get Me Off Your Fucking Mailing List" published by a notional journal. The article was nothing but a profanity laced sentence repeated over and over.
Ferguson ... America?
Ferguson, Missouri … how representative of the United States is this place? The city dealt with a series of riots and unrest after Officer Darren Wilson shot Michael Brown. And now, a grand jury has opted to not indict the police officer which has already resulted in fresh violence. The situation is clearly bad when the President of the United States has to pre-emptively make a statement telling citizens NOT to exhibit violence in the wake of the decision.
Ebola Quarantines
Short and sweet – Should a nation state be permitted to quarantine good Samaritans against their will to prevent a viral outbreak?
The case example is Kaci Hickox who returned from Sierra Leone after helping combat Ebola. She is presently quarantined to her home by the state of Maine and protests, "I am not going to sit around and be bullied around by politicians and be forced to stay in my home when I am not a risk to the American public."
Possible DPRK Tunnels in Seoul
The tunnels Kim il-Sung commissioned from North Korea to South Korea are generally forgotten by most people. Presently, there are only four that are known of a suspected 22. However, a recent discovery hints that a new tunnel has just been discovered reaching as far as Seoul. The idea of reaching Seoul is that DPRK soldiers immediately engage critical targets – embassies, C2, bases, and the homes of leadership – within moments of North Korea deciding to engage in open hostility.
Personal CNC Lower Receiver Mill
Not too long ago, the gun control advocates were going a little ape-shit over the ability of 3D printers to make AR-15 lower receivers. Although the printers were able to produce some lower receivers of moderate quality capable of firing several hundred rounds, they were still plagued by stress fractures and eventual damage. Not anymore, the Defense Distributed group has announced the availability of a personal, in-home, CNC mill designed to mill an AR-15 lower receiver from metal for the low cost of $1200. Federal law permits citizens to construct their own weapons for personal use without licenses as long as they do not sell them which means people can 3D print a receiver and then mail order the remaining parts. Voila! For about $2000, anyone can have an unregistered, untraceable "ghost" AR-15. This isn't the first 3D printed metal weapon, there are already 3D models and printers capable of producing a complete 1911 .45 as well.
Ebola in the United States
There have been Ebola patients in the United States already, typically known evacuations from stricken locations in Africa for controlled treatment. Presently, an unidentified individual from Dallas, TX is the first confirmed, walk-in patient with Ebola in America. He apparently returned from Liberia and was visiting with family members and a few other contacts within the week since his return. The CDC has a few basic bullets about how the virus really infects:
* blood or body fluids (including but not limited to urine, saliva, feces, vomit, and semen) of a person who is sick with Ebola
Boots on the Ground in Iraq
Only a few months ago, President Obama assured the American public there would be no boots on the ground in Iraq, only some advisers. Despite the adviser (stomp stomp – Special Forces) teams doing their work quietly behind the scenes, the ISIS problem has continued to spiral out of control. Not too long ago, airstrikes also began against ISIS targets using the long awaited F22 Raptor. But now the big reversal in policy is that troops from the Big Red One, 1st Infantry Division, will be deploying to Iraq. These … are regular … American … soldiers … BOOTS ON THE GROUND.
F22 Debuts in Combat
The F22 has been sitting in the American inventory for nearly a decade, first rolling out officially in 2005. It has certainly been a rough decade as well with the aircraft facing the axe numerous times and getting grounded for a myriad of issues. But after all the engineering, air shows and dust collecting, the Raptor finally took to the skies to drop some pain onto bad guys. The aircraft was involved in its first combat sorties over Syria to bomb ISIS/ISIL targets. Each subsequent mission should reduce the vehicle's ROI by 1/2 … but at $67B, those ISIS targets were pretty expensive. On a positive note, Syria is known for having a robust air defense system meaning the vehicle's radar suppressive signatures and design functioned as designed.
nVidia Debunks Moon Hoax Conspiracy
People have declared the moon landings a hoax for decades. Their assessments are based questioning shadows, tire prints, the flag … all sorts of things. Upward of 6% of Americans don't believe it actually happened. On the flip side, debunkers have been equally as ardent at disproving the conspiracy theories.
And now, there is a new contender, nVidia, the GPU manufacturing graphics company. In a nutshell, the realism of modern video games centers around all kinds of details but lighting can make or break the game. As such, GPU manufacturers try to provide all sorts of computing horsepower to render lighting, shadows, and all sorts of number crunching to calculate reflections, incident angles, etc. As part of their product unveiling, nVidia decided to team with NASA to learn about the scenario and then essentially digitally recreate the photo allowing their GPU and software to determine if the lighting was actually legitimate. The answer? It was totally viable.

Retronautsploration: Brandish Dark Revenant, Episode 1
By Jeremy Parish Mar 23, 2009 5:19PM PST
Category: Retronautsploration
Tags: PSP
I had some good times last week with A Boy and His Blob, but ultimately I've decided not to see it through to the end. It's an inventive and interesting game to be sure, but it's also somewhat maddening, because it could be so much better. Ray recently picked up the Game Boy sequel, The Rescue of Princess Blobette, so I think I'll be content to see his take on that one while I wait for WayForward's Wii remake/sequel/whatever it ends up being. I have high hopes that the upcoming Blob adventure will shore up the original game's weaknesses -- and, curiously enough, it's my new Retronautsploration endeavor that's made me so hopeful.
On the surface, you wouldn't think that game -- Brandish: Dark Revenant, a PSP remake of an old Super NES RPG -- would have much in common with A Boy and His Blob. Surprisingly enough, though, they dovetail nicely. Both Brandish and Blob were creative but critically flawed adventures whose shortcomings tended to obscure their high points. As a result, both tend to be guilty pleasures, games whose fans tend to praise them with bashful qualifications. A "I know it kind of sucks, but I really like it anyway" sort of thing.
The crazy thing is that on PSP, Brandish is fantastic. Yeah, it's still a bit obtuse and expects you to learn to take it on its own terms. And as far as I can tell the game content -- maps, enemies, weapons, NPC encounters, everything -- is exactly the same as it was on Super NES. Yet the PSP remake is as addictive as the 16-bit version was frustrating. Amazing what a difference the little things make.
Dark Revenant's improvements are entirely rooted in its interface, but these subtle tweaks take a prickly-but-promising adventure and make it far more enjoyable. The first improvement is right there in the screenshot above: polygons. The original Brandish was a top-down dungeon crawler, and Dark Revenant moves the view slightly behind your character's head, and a bit closer to the action. Normally I resent zoomed-in cameras for dungeon crawlers since they make navigation trickier, but that's not an issue; this remake handily adds a permanent map overlay to the screen. Not a minimap, either, but a full map of the current dungeon level. It's a huge and welcome addition.
Even better, though, is the fact that Falcom has made proper use of this version's polygonal nature. Brandish actually started life on the NEC PC-9801 computer, and the limitations and odd interface requirements of the original platform were reflected in the Super NES port that made its way to the U.S. The most obvious of these was the bizarre control/interface scheme in which the player's character, Ares, always faced the top of the screen. Rather than, say, turning right, Ares remained immobile while the entire dungeon shifted around him in 90-degree increments.
That hasn't changed in Dark Revenant, but unlike the previous versions of the game the dungeon doesn't make instant 90-degree jumps. Instead, the environment rotates quickly but smoothly through these turns, giving a new sense of visual continuity that makes the game far less confusing and frustrating. There was really no reason for the Super NES versions not to do this, since rotation was one of the system's Mode 7 gimmicks, but for whatever reason this feature is new to the PSP. And it makes a huge, huge difference -- I can't really explain just how big a difference it is, to be honest. You just need to play the two versions back to back. It will blow your mind how this single embellishment changes the entire nature of the game.
Falcom has added plenty of other tweaks to make this the definitive version of the game -- or rather, the enjoyable and playable version. The full-sized map allows players to mark items of note, such as locked doors and healing pools. Players can also map three items to the analog nub for quick access to useful spells or curative goods.
Another nice touch is that enemies flash when they're about to attack, which helps a great deal with the battle mechanics. Brandish has an interesting combat system in that wading into battle, fists flying, is a sure way to die horribly. Instead, patience and timing are required in order to succeed. Ares actively blocks melee attacks when he's standing still (assuming you have a shield equipped, which you should, at all times), but he's vulnerable when striking. Once you catch onto this fact, fights become a sort of back-and-forth of waiting for an enemy to attack, blocking, then counterattacking. Not all enemies can be beaten this way, of course, so it's wise to learn how they move and attack. Projectile attacks must be blocked more actively, and magic spells need to be avoided, period. Ares is a capable fighter against a single enemy but doesn't fare so well when flanked, so it's best to watch your back and sides and lure enemies into narrow passages. It's a lot like a roguelike in that way...and a lot of other ways, too.
If you're one of the three or four people who enjoyed Nightmare of Druaga, you're gonna love Dark Revenant.
Much to my surprise, I'm already much further into this remake than I ever made it into the Super NES game -- halfway up the Tower, which is the game's second area. And I guess I'll just keep going. Apparently once you reach the end, you unlock the ability to play as Dola/Alexis, the sorceress chick above. She seems to be a fan-favorite (for what should be obvious reasons) and serves as the series' mascot of sorts, despite basically being a comic relief character who only shows up from time to time.. She was playable in Brandish 3, which was only available on PC-9801, so not having played that I'm going to guess she's good with spells and has pretty awful defense, because seriously, skimpy battle bikinis just don't cut it in hand-to-hand combat.
But the promise of tiny polygonal boobies is not a particularly compelling factor here; I'm simply enjoying the game enough to want to conquer the entire dungeon. I'm really hoping someone brings the remake to the U.S., but it's not like I can't breeze through the import. It's exactly the same as the Super NES game (except in terms of playability, where it comes out victorious), so on the off chance I end up stumped I can always check a FAQ. For now, though, I'll simply marvel at the difference such modest improvements can make in a game.

The Rescue of Princess BlobettePosted: Mar 23, 2009 12:00AM PST by redhedgehog
Ugh, the Game Boy sequel to A Boy and His Blob was so much worse than the original. The level design was worse and there was no point to collecting treasures and the game could be won using about three jelly beans. It just screams sloppiness.
BrandishPosted: Mar 23, 2009 12:00AM PST by cartman414
Brandish did have a unique charm, looking past its obvious issues, so I'll definitely be picking up the PSP version if it comes over. By the way, weren't the computer Brandish games mouse controlled or something?
Nice.Posted: Mar 23, 2009 12:00AM PST by johntv
Bought this on launch day, but it wouldn't work with my PSP custom firmware, and I haven't had a chance to upgrade...until today! Looking forward to taking it for a spin tonight. :) Thanks for the impressions!
BTW, was Nightmare of Druaga good? I think I have a review copy somewhere but I never got around to playing it (they wound up cutting the review after they'd sent me the disc). Worth playing?
BrandishPosted: Mar 24, 2009 12:00AM PST by Cary Woodham
I'm a pretty casual Falcom fan. I've enjoyed stuff like Legacy of the Wizard, Gurumin, and the new Legacy of Ys DS game. I've never tried Brandish, though. I didn't know there was a SNES version. I'd like to try that one sometime. --Cary
@johntvPosted: Mar 25, 2009 12:00AM PST by baddie
If you like rogue-likes and Chunsoft then it's definitely worth a go. I'll be honest that I didn't get much of a chance to get super deep into it but my initial dungeon excursions were enjoyable and I didn't find the game distasteful at that point. I definitely plan on revisiting it once I find the time. Not to mention I found the English version for $9 on Amazon, and couldn't pass that up.
I actually had never heard of the game until I watched the Tower of Druaga anime series that was released recently, and a subsequent Wikipedia investigation lead me to the existence of Nightmare of Druaga.

"This machine feels much more "flimsy" then what I come to expect from Bosch. Although quiet when it runs, It gives a very high pitch whining sound that can a bit annoying to some. The hatch for the tablets seems to some times open during the cycle, with the result of the tablet falling out and poor cleaning as result, even if I ensure that it is closed before start. Not a bad machine, but all in all I expected better from this brand, that I use for everything else in the kitchen."- 23 July 2015

"This dishwasher suits my family needs perfectly; it takes plates etc when the house is full of family (12) or when the house is down to 2. Half load full load, I cannot fault it. The cutlery tray is so much better in my opinion that the cutlery basket in my previous dishwasher. The dishwasher washes, rinses and dries without a problem and should you need it, it even has a boost for drying. AND At this point I would add if you are browsing to buy and have looked at other websites, ao.com have THE most wonderful customer service department, good old fashioned 'lets help the customer'"- 22 June 2015

"This model of dishwasher is the closest we could find to the build quality of our old Hotpoint which has given up after 20 years plus good service. Like most things the technology has evolved and needs getting used to. The method of loading is a matter of trial and error. The cutlery tray is a vast improvement over the cutlery basket. So far so good."- 02 June 2015

"I am particularly delighted with the cutlery tray. I never liked the old baskets. This way each item of cutlery is kept separate and much easier to load/unload. Luckily I don't share the problem an earlier reviewer had regarding the loss of height for the middle tray. For items which need the height I use the bottom tray. I like the choice of programmes with the clear display and countdown. I never got on with a minutes only display. And this machine is really quiet. I just wish it had included the pegs for holding plastic items in place; I'm not sure why it didn't. Oh and it switches itself off when done. Nice!"- 14 May 2015

Gov. touts expansion of CSA programMarch 15,2013
MONTPELIER Vermont Gov. Peter Shumlin says the state is expanding statewide what was a three-county pilot program to get state employees involved in community-supported agriculture.
So-called CSA farms recruit consumers to sign up by making payments to farmers in the spring. Farmers then use the money as working capital and consumers get locally produced food as crops come in and animals are slaughtered.
Vermont launched an effort to get state employees to participate in such programs in Washington, Addison and Windsor counties last year.
Laura Olsen of the Green Mountain Girls Farm in Northfield said her farm saw 20 percent more CSA members as a result. Now Shumlin and Agriculture Secretary Chuck Ross said they want to take the program statewide.MORE IN Vermont NewsBURLINGTON Gov.

India's space mission to Mars, expected to be launched in October, will look for signature of life and the reasons for loss of atmosphere on the red planet, a top scientist said here.
Work on the Mars Orbiter Mission, announced by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in his Independence Day address last year, is going on full steam and equipment of the five experiments planned during the mission are expected to be delivered to ISRO in March.
"We should get the five payloads by March and we plan to start integrating them in the satellite from April," Jitendra Nath Goswami, director of the Physical Research Laboratory and closely involved with the Mars mission, said.
ISRO's trusted warhorse rocket PSLV-XL is expected to launch the mission some time in October from the spaceport Sriharikota which will first keep orbiting the earth, achieving the necessary velocity to escape the earth's gravitational pull.
As per existing plans, the satellite is expected to exit the Earth's orbit on November 26 and embark on the journey to Mars which is expected to last for around 300 days.
The scientists have drawn up plans to insert the satellite in an orbit around Mars on September 22 next year.
Once in the Martian orbit, the satellite will start taking pictures of the red planet with an onboard colour camera and infra-red spectrometer, while the Lyman-alpha photometer would measure atomic hydrogen in the Martian atmosphere.
"The previous missions to Mars have shown that there was water on the planet. We would want to know how and why the planet lost water and carbon dioxide," Goswami told reporters on the sidelines of the 100th Indian Science Congress here. "Nobody has done research why water was lost. We are trying to do things which were not precisely or exactly done," Goswami said.

The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.

The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.

My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Flagship 2030 Task Force on Enrollment - Subgroups
The subgroup structure was developed by Fred Pampel, Lou McClelland, and Deb Coffin on 3-6-08. Subgroup membership is indicated on the roster.
All subgroups will be focusing on implementation of Plan 2030, and all will use the assumptions on enrollment stated in Plan 2030 and implemented in the associated year-by-year enrollment estimates. The assumptions:
Graduate enrollment - Fred Pampel, chair. Focus on opportunities for and obstacles to growth in graduate enrollment. Formal link to Plan 2030 graduate task force.
Undergraduate enrollment - Lou McClelland, chair. With a modest 15-20% increase in undergraduates to 2030, the focus will be on management of processes and policies for recruiting new students, for allocating undergraduate enrollments across colleges, and for considering opportunities for and obstacles to improved undergraduate retention and graduation rates. Formal links to the Plan 2030 undergraduate education task force, and to the ongoing campus "enrollment prediction" group also chaired by McClelland.
Year-round learning - Deb Coffin, chair. Consider opportunities for and obstacles to displacing fall semester on-campus activity, particularly coursework, in space and/or time; recommend which apparent opportunities are worth pursuing further. Examples of displacement include increased summer activity on campus, and off-campus terms such as study abroad, internships, and service semesters. Formal link to Plan 2030 facilities task force.
