I love the 65DaysOfStatic re-score of Silent Running... this is the whole film with it overdubbed. Just watch the first minute or so of the intro with the volume cranked up if you don't have time. Cracking.

i know how you feel i am being induced this sunday night and got a cold just a few days ago ugghhh it sucks hopefully it will go away by then

I woke up today with a head cold and so stuffy and my nose drips non stop. I live in West Palm Beach so I know how you feel... uggh and only 7 days to go.
It kills you to see them grow up, but it would kill you quicker if they didn't." Amazed that I can love two just as much!
Awww I hope you feel better quickly. I think rest, vitamin c, and fluids are about all you can do to move things along. I'll be having a c-section and when I went to my appointment on Thursday this stupid pregnant woman brought her TWO very sick children (oh and she had help, so she could have left them somewhere with her, and not exposed everyone to their germs!) in to the office and they were hacking over everything. Then she touches the cups they were drinking from on the rim so everything she touched was for sure contaminated. I actually chose to stay in another waiting room to not be around those kids. I mean come on, it's one thing to take them out in public, but to an OB's office?? I wanted to smack her! (I totally feel for the moms who have to take their sick kids with them. it was the fact that she did indeed have help and didn't HAVE to bring them out to infect the rest of the world). No symptoms yet and it's been 2 days so hopefully I won't catch it...

Or even people?
Reporter Rachel Dubrovin explains why that could soon become a reality thanks to researchers at Washington State University.
Here at Washington State University, students are preparing for robots to take over the world.
"Robots, I feel, are the next big frontier," said WSU Student Lorin Vandegrift.
"With robots, you get to see what you've done actually work in the real world, get it running around and manipulating the world around it," said WSU Assistant Professor of Artificial Intelligence Matthew Taylor.
OK, so maybe robot domination is more of an April Fools joke than a reality. But make no mistake, these engineers take robotics very seriously.
"In this lab, the intelligent robot learning lab, we have air, ground and sea robots," said Taylor.
One of the favorite robots in this lab is this flying A-R drone.
"They're taking all these different fields and incorporating them into one," said Vandegrift. "And so, I mean when you have a bunch of smart people come together, you kind of get really cool things."
WSU Assistant Professor Matthew Taylor focuses on the artificial intelligence side of robotics. His latest project is teaching robots how to teach other robots.
"Once these robots learn something, they have to be able to teach new robots," said Taylor. "So when you upgrade to a new model, you want that robot, the first one, to be able to teach it about you and your preferences."
Taylor said this intelligence will become more important as more robots make their way into households. He's proving they can be teachers using the game of Pac-Man.
"Because we're also interested in not just agents teaching each other, but also can these agents teach humans," said Taylor. "So in Pac-Man, that's going to be, 'Go up, go down, go left go right.'"
Despite how much they've learned about robots, Taylor said it'll be years before robots are actually teaching humans.
"Humans are a little more fickle," said Taylor.
Taylor also received a grant from The National Science Foundation to use dog training techniques to train robotics. He hopes to find a better way for humans to train robots, and visa-versa.

The Wildcats trailed 54-39 with 11:03 remaining, but went on a 14-0 run to energize the crowd at the Georgia Dome and threaten Florida's 25-game winning streak.
After trading baskets down the stretch, Florida opened the door for Kentucky by missing the front end of consecutive one-and-one free throw situations. The Gators went only 7-for-17 at the line.
The Cats had possession with 14 seconds remaining, and the UK staff called timeout to set up a final play, but they failed to get a potential game-winning shot off when James Young slipped on a drive into the lane and time expired during a scramble for the loose ball.
"I took too much of a wide step, and I just slipped," Young said. "It just slipped away from us."
"There's a level of luck that comes into a lot of these situations," Florida coach Billy Donovan said. "There just is."
Florida (32-2) became the first SEC team to ever go 21-0 in league play and the conference tournament. In doing so, the Gators secured their spot as the overall No. 1 seed in next week's NCAA Tournament.
Kentucky (24-10) took some big strides over the weekend in Atlanta, rolling past LSU and Georgia before giving Florida one of its best challenges of the season. The Cats had lost to the Gators by 10 in Lexington and by 19 in Gainesville during the regular season.
"What a game," UK head coach John Calipari said. "If you were watching that game, you had to get excited about college basketball. So proud of my guys. Had every chance to let go of the rope... They have stayed together. They have stayed as a unit and keep believing in each other."
Patric Young and Michael Frazier each had 14 points to lead Florida. Tourney MVP Scottie Wilbekin had 11 points and six assists, while Casey Prather added 11 points for the Gators.
Florida was shaky down the stretch, but built some nice cushion by hitting six of 13 shots from 3-point range in the first half to lead 40-30 at the break.
The one major advantage UK took into the game -- season-long rebounding dominance -- was negated by a strong team rebounding effort from Florida. The Gators finished with a 38-36 advantage on the glass, including five or more rebounds by five different players - Will Yeguete (7), Dorian Finney-Smith (6), Young (5), Frazier (5) and Prater (5).
Kentucky shot just 35 percent from the floor, but compensated with a 21-of-26 effort at the free throw line.
"For us to shoot 35 percent, folks, and be a second away from winning the conference championship is amazing," Calipari said. "It means we really showed a lot of fight."
The Cats got 16 points from Aaron Harrison and 13 points from James Young. Andrew Harrison and Willie Cauley-Stein each added 10 for UK, but its star, Julius Randle, was held to just four points on 1-for-7 shooting and saw his streak of double-doubles end at six.
Cauley-Stein, who was key during UK's surge, had a game-high 11 rebounds and five blocked shots.
• Kentucky leads the all-time series with Florida 94-37. The Cats dropped to 28-10 all-time in the SEC finals. The Gators are now 2-3 against the Wildcats in the SEC finals.
• Cauley-Stein recorded his fourth double-double of the season for UK and also became the third Wildcat in as many seasons to reject 100 or more shots .
• Aaron Harrison led the Cats with 52 points in the SEC Tournament, averaging 17.5 points per game. He and Randle earned spots on the all-tourney team.
• Andrew Harrison dished out 19 assists in three games at the SEC Tournament, the most he had over any three-game span during the season.
• Young has made at least one 3-pointer in 12 consecutive games.

King Street Marketing Group and Halls Chophouse will present Rep. Leon Stavrinakis, Charleston County's representative in the South Carolina House, at Small Business Lunch at Halls, Thursday Dec. 5.
In the House, Stavrinakis sits on the very important Ways and Means Committee which impacts small business in a big way. Stavrinakis has never voted to raise property or income taxes, but the state needs additional revenue just to maintain, let alone improve, our infrastructure. Where will the money come from for our roads and bridges?
One of the most popular political figures in Charleston, Stavrinakis served on the Charleston County Council for eight years from 1999 - 2006. In an historic event, he was elected chairman of council while in the minority party. In 2007 he was elected to the S.C. House to represent District 119 in Charleston County.
Stavrinakis has constantly worked across party lines to improve planning and control growth, pass property tax reform and to fight crime and drugs in our community. As a member of the minority party he has made a name for himself with his bi-partisan leadership style.
Stavrinakis served as local prosecutor from 1993-2000 and founded the Stavrinakis Law Firm in 1996. A native Charlestonian, he graduated from the College of Charleston in 1988 and the University of South Carolina School of Law in 1992.
Each month, Small Business Lunch at Halls features a distinguished speaker from the business, civic or political arenas upstairs at Halls Chophouse with an imaginative three course meal prepared by Executive Chef Matthew Niessner.
Tickets are $29 per person for the luncheon and parking. Doors open at 11:30 a.m. and lunch is served promptly at noon. Limited seating of 70 participants provides an intimate experience with each speaker. Call the 24/7 ticket hotline at 1-800-838-3006.
Halls Chophouse is located at 434 King Street in downtown Charleston. Parking, validated at the event, is available at the Visitors Center Garage on Ann Street between King and Meeting Streets.

Welcome to GandhiCon 4
Perhaps we'll remember March 18, 2003, as E-Day. That was the day when Evans Data Corp. delivered hard numbers to substantiate what most of us already sensed in our bones: Linux was now clearly on its way to becoming the majority target platform for enterprise software development.
First came the company's release to the press. "DEVELOPERS MIGRATING FROM WINDOWS TO LINUX", its headline said, adding "52% of Developers Now Targeting Linux Used to Develop for Windows". Linux, the survey said, is pulling developers away from Windows more than it pulls from various forms of UNIX:
Fifty-two percent of respondents who currently have Linux as their target for applications say they used to write applications primarily for one of the versions of Windows. Only 30% have switched from some form of UNIX to Linux as their primary target.
Computerwire put the news in perspective, dismissing conventional Microsoft FUD:
A new survey from Evans Data Corp. appears to contradict suggestions from Microsoft Corp. that the growth of the Linux operating system has been at the expense of UNIX, rather than its own Windows operating system.
In other words, okay, we'll see your FUD and raise you a few FACTS. I immediately wrote and asked Evans Data to share a few more of those facts with us, which they kindly provided. Here are some of the target platform results:
Unsurprisingly, Windows OSes are the most common, accounting for 81% of developers' primary host environments...Linux, too, has become a contender in the most-used development OS comparison; 8% of respondents use Linux as their primary development OS, which is more than all the other flavors of UNIX combined (5.4%).
For secondary target host environments today, 32% of respondents named UNIX, and about half of those (15.5% of the total) named Linux.
For next year's plans, Evans Data said, "Linux use will increase, too; 8% use it now, but 14% expect to use the open-source OS as primary host next year. (That 6% increase is suspiciously similar to the 6% decrease in Windows use.)"
Among development platforms, however, Linux already kicks butt. Here's Evans Data:
Linux is the primary choice of host platform at 40%. Windows 2000 makes a strong showing at 29%, with Windows XP right behind at 12%. The landscape is about to change, however, as you will see below...
Next year respondents plan to increase their use of Linux as the primary development platform by 15%, from 40% to 55%. They also plan to increase their use of Windows XP as a development platform by 8%, going from 12% this year to 20% next year. Both Linux and Windows XP are taking at least some of their share from Windows 2000, since it drops 15% from 30% this year to 15% for the next. Other flavors of UNIX comprise an insignificant share of the host development platform this and next year, so Linux is obviously taking more share from Windows than any other OS.
It gets better when we look at development platforms:
The choice of OS for a development platform does not necessarily dictate the choice of OS on which to run the finished application. In this case, however, Linux tops the chart on both the development platform choice and target platform choice. Forty-percent of respondents said they most often target Linux for the OS on which their applications will run compared to 43% for all versions of Windows combined. Windows 2000 is the primary target for 23% of respondents. This distribution implies the bulk of applications are likely to be server-oriented, especially since the most often used client OS, Windows 95/98, is the primary target for only 8% of developers. Windows XP is the primary focus for 8%, as well.
And what about next year? Get ready to rock:
When it comes to the primary focus for the target platform for applications, the trend for next year follows the same trend for what respondents are going to use for their development platform. Linux gets the largest increase, going from 40% to 53%. The combination of all Windows versions drops from 43% to 33%. Windows 2000 loses the most attention, going from 23% to 13%. Windows XP picks up more focus, going from 8% this year to 17% next year. The rest of the categories continue to get an insignificant amount of attention.
Yesterday at PC Forum in Arizona, I talked with Avery Lyford, President and CEO of Linuxcare, which is one of the companies working to satisfy the demand outlined above. Avery is also an IBM veteran who knows the enterprise space extremely well, especially where Linux is involved. "It's done", he said. "Linux is a lock. The only remaining resistance is around open-source development, and that's only because a lot of IT people still don't understand it. But that will change soon, too. Count on it."
Right before I talked to Avery, an IT guy at a Fortune 50 company pulled me aside to talk about the rapid movement toward widespread Linux deployment at his firm. All he needed to finish making it happen, he said, was a few hard numbers. "Do you know any?" he said. I told him to watch his e-mail. This morning I sent him the numbers I just shared with the rest of you.
A few weeks back I asked Eric Raymond if he thought we had reached the final stage outlined by Mohandas Gandhi's famous quote: "First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win."
He replied, "Still GandhiCon 3 (they fight you), I think, though late in that stage."
I believe these Evans Data results may have brought us to the verge of GhandhiCon 4.

Re: Welcome to GandhiCon 4
Until the hardware vendors seriously get on board, and until most contemporary hardware works out of the box in its entirety, I think it's premature to talk of "winning".
Re: Welcome to GandhiCon 4
That's the thing, though... Most contemporary hardware *does* work out of the box. With or without support of the vendors.
There are still a few niggles, but to be honest, I can install Linux and be more sure that things will work than WinXP or OSX. I've had so many problems with XP drivers not existing or being broken in various ways (not to mention my friend's OSX, where basic drivers for printers are still beta after more than a year and a half). My digicam is a Kodak one... Old, but not too much so. Worked under 98, WinXP doesn't like it. It fails to install the first time, and after that, refuses to even attempt to reinstall.
TV cards are similarly easier to run under Linux than XP, where drivers really are problematic.
Add in the fact that most corporate systems and development systems are basic in hardware terms (not really a great need for Odd Dongle X), and Linux has good enough support.
If you are having problems with hardware on an old install, try installing Mandrake 9.1 and see if that helps :)

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

The Docket: Hormones, embezzlements and amnesty
There's something of a bouillabaisse of legal news in this morning's papers: no recurring theme or giant, six-column-headline story stands out, but the mix we do have sets The Docket's record for variety: hormones for transgender prison inmates, a politician (non-Milwaukee, for once) getting a restraining order in a romantic situation gone awry, embezzlement cases in the public and private sectors, and one case involving a dead deer's DNA.
The Docket is our daily summary of Wisconsin court-related news in the Journal Sentinel and elsewhere. Check this space each weekday morning for a quick digest of the state's legal happenings, and send your news tips here.
- Expert testimony led off day one of an expected three-day trial in the case of the three male prison inmates who are challenging Wisconsin's Inmate Sex Change Prevention Act, and the focus of the day was on whether their claim of gender identity disorder qualifies as a disease.
- Remember the Blanchardville bank fraud case that last summer sent a banker to prison for nine years? It's back in court and has former Wisconsin Dells Motor Speedway owner Bryan J. Severson fighting 28 felony counts for his alleged role, and the news story about it compares Blanchardville to a Norman Rockwell tableau.
- Now comes into court an alleged $56,000 embezzlement from the Village of Oostburg by the former village clerk and treasurer.
- The Journal Sentinel looks at the last of five finalists for the Milwaukee police-chief job here and adds context in a blog posting here.
- Lest anyone think that this type of thing happens only in Milwaukee (though it does happen here repeatedly), a politician outstate has gotten a restraining order against his ex-girlfriend after their situation went off the tracks to the point that State Rep. Scott Suder (R-Abbotsford)'s home was broken into.
- Amnesty day in Green Bay for outstanding warrants! On the books: 4,433 outstanding warrants and $1.16 million in fines (we'll save you the math: average fine-per-warrant: $261.67); we'll check back tomorrow with how much the one-day amnesty netted.
- Next up to restrict sex-offender housing: Mequon.
- An Ohio soccer coach has been picked up on a school sex-abuse warrant from Milwaukee from the 1990s.
- And speaking of old cases: a three-years-dead mule deer in Idaho has just led to a McFarland man losing hunting privileges for three years based in part on DNA evidence from blood at the kill site being matched to the antlers.
- Reelz Network airing show Saturday on Steven Avery and the Teresa Halbach murder
- Citing inappropriate Randa rant, 7th Circuit orders new sentencing in heroin case
- Illinois man who drove drunk at WI Boy Scout camp loses appeal
- Kenosha man seeks U.S. Supreme Court review of expanded warrantless home search

iFreeping suhks but it's better than nuttin'
No big thang Rush. No way I was going to watch the Oscars, so I didn't miss the appearance of MOOCH anyway.
Not surprised either that "Argo" won. It was a tribute to Hollywood. Also another reason why Steven Speiberg was snubbed was also because he is Jewish and there is a lot of anti-Jewish dislike in Hollywood also.
Yet in secret, the REALLY like Speiberg.
Happy Monday.
I'm a homeowner now. I think I'm going to throw up.
True that.
Correction, in public there is a dislike for Speilberg, but in private, they really like him.
Here is Ad - 1984
I thought it would be between "Argo" and "Lincoln" if you ask me for best movie.
Got to agree with Rush about Twitter.
I bet they ache to go to his parties.
Best investment you'll ever make.
I agree 100% on the useless confusion of 'twitter'. I can't follow it. I can't figure out who is talking to whom or what it is about. I've tried it twice and won't be bothered with it again.
Garbage in, garbage out. Found this:
Toilet overflows. Yuk.
I'm neither a twit nor read books about faces. Email is good enough for me.
Just dang! I was crunching data and got caught up in a Tammy Wynette loop on youtube, which turned into a Dolly loop.....I completely lost track of time for Rush!
So, I get hear and get to hear about the circle fest called the Oscars. Only the elite like to sit around yanking each others chains....
There are a lot of blood, sweat & tears ahead, but mostly big smiles, fine neighbors, noisy kids, chirping dogs, great personal satisfaction and an "Open House BBQ", which we'll all expect an invite to this Spring. LOL.
The only one who got inside Lincoln's head was John Wilkes Booth. Ya, a real riot that one. Perhaps they made a quick mental connection to JFK and decided that perhaps it wasn't very funny.
If the Oscars thought it was cute to focus on boobs, they hit their mark. The Obama's are the two biggest boobs in America. I really hope that they have worn out their welcome. Maybe we can start getting some real humor out of Hollywood now about these two frauds.
Elitists (Hollywood, journos, academics) all like to give each other trophies to put on their mantles, while the rest of us enjoy getting little "certificates of appreciation" for the work we do. Then the elitists like to take our certificates (dollars) away to give to their favorite slackers!
That is why I will not voluntarily give them any of my hard earned certificates for their bilge. Let them eat their trophies.
Thanks, but I have a feeling that this is going to turn into Mr. Blandings Builds His Dreamhouse, redux. (Classic movie reference).
His comments about the pathetic emceeing job and the emcee himself was also a bunch of babble.
Sometimes Rush has mysterious points he fails to get across.
There are a lot of blood, sweat & tears ahead, but mostly big smiles, fine neighbors, noisy kids, chirping dogs, great personal satisfaction and an "Open House BBQ", which we'll all expect an invite to this Spring. LOL.
LOL! Invitations in the mail right now. Bring your own dead animal for the BBQ.
I liked Iowahawk's quip about the Oscars. Something to the effect of:
"The value of an industry to society is inversely proportional to the number of awards it gives itself."
Omen: stay away from it. It only causes trouble, like Face-Butt.
Yikes! Call TCM!
Dead AIR LAR!!
I had to google that movie!
Hey Rush. There might be a reason that Obama is being such a good chum to Christie. In the event that Menendez should resign for some unknown reason, Obama knows Christie would appoint a Republican, but he would want Christie to appoint a flaming LIBERAL Republican.
We have not had a national malaise like this since Carter was in office.
What stinks is the intel budget was already quietly reduced this past Christmas.
Now they are hitting us again.
Rush's take on the layoff's of the contractors is off. Many Government agencies are so incompetent that they MUST hire qualified people to do the jobs that the Government Workers CANNOT do! Instead of getting rid of the dead weight, the Government retains worthless employees, and simply hires, on a temporary basis, contractors to do the work so that the Agency can function. In essence it is a sort of double hiring. The Government hires a failure, then hires someone competent to make the failure look good.
Why can't they reduce Michelle's vacation budget? Valerie Jarrett's Secret Service protection budget? White House propaganda dissemination budget?
We need the money to fund transgendered midnight basketball programs.
Intel assets are in high demand.
Kim Jong Un is popping off Nukes.
The Iranians were at the test and are about to go online themselves.
Hugo Chavez is still in the mix
Egypt and the entire north of Africa are awash in Al Queda.
Yeah, we need to cut intel, so we can bay for Obama phones. /s

THE BATTLE OVER fair and equitable school funding in Pennsylvania will soon be headed back to court, activists said yesterday.
Testifying before a panel of state lawmakers, Rhonda Brownstein, executive director of the Education Law Center in Pennsylvania, said her organization, in conjunction with the Public Interest Law Center of Philadelphia, is preparing to file a lawsuit arguing that the state has violated its constitutional requirement to provide a "thorough and efficient system of public education."
The announcement drew modest applause from the audience at the National Constitution Center, but it would not be the first time the approach has been tried. The commonwealth's state courts have consistently dismissed school-funding cases, declaring it an issue for the Legislature.

Solo Exhibition, Sterling Clinton Hundley, 2009
In science, defines the process of complex systems that are composed of their lesser parts.
Governing chaos by adhering to a predetermined set of parameters, (in this case, a rigid grid), is a statement on the way in which we perceive, assimilate, and apply information in the Modern Age. I believe that only through the passage of time, and the clarity of hindsight, can we fully interpret the larger picture of our actions, inactions, and the disparate moments that introduce chaos into our everyday lives.
places the viewer in the gray space between consequence and accountability.

Hints from Heloise: Charity recycles used greeting cards
Dear Heloise: I was wondering if you have the address for mailing used greeting cards. I have a box of cards that I have received during the past few years, but not the address to send them to. -- Eleanor
Dear Eleanor: You want to send these cards to St. Jude's Ranch for Children (a fantastic organization that for more than 30 years has cared for children who have been abused, neglected or abandoned). Old cards are recycled and new ones created, which are sold to help fund its programs.
Here are some things to know:
- Cards are accepted all year long.
- All types of greeting cards are accepted: birthday, thank-you, holiday and all-occasion.
- Only the front of the card is used. Make sure there is no writing on the backside.
- Five-inch by 7-inch size or smaller is the best to send.
- No Disney, Hallmark or American Greetings cards can be accepted.
- The most cost-effective way to send these card fronts is in a Flat Rate Box from the U.S. Postal Service.
Mail donations to: St. Jude's Ranch for Children, Recycled Card Program, 100 St. Jude's St., Boulder City, NV 89005.
You can go online to www.stjudesranch.org for more information. To purchase greeting cards created by the children, call (877) 977-7572. -- Heloise
Dear Heloise: Is there any chance of removing clear nail polish from one of my favorite pairs of slacks? I've tried nail-polish remover and then laundering, with no success. Any suggestions? -- Lenore F. in New Jersey
Dear Lenore: Spilled nail polish can be a real pain. The nail-polish remover you tried on the stain probably was nonacetone, which is too gentle to truly "lift" the nail polish from the fabric. Go to a beauty-supply shop or drugstore and pick up pure acetone; test it in a small, concealable spot for discoloration. Then place the stain facedown on paper towels and gently sponge over the stain before laundering. Be sure the stained fabric does not contain triacetate or acetate; if it does, you can use only amyl acetate to treat it so the fabric doesn't disintegrate. -- Heloise
Send a great hint to: Heloise, P.O. Box 795000, San Antonio, TX 78279-5000. Fax: (210) 435-6473. Send e-mail to email@example.com.

On the way to 100 books: a mid-year reading report
I set myself a goal for this year of reading 100 books. Through June 30, I'd read 58, slightly ahead of the pace I need to reach my target.
That sounds like a big pile of books to some of my friends and coworkers, but I'm aware of people who will read more books, in some cases many more books, this year than I will. »Read Full Article(2)

Reading the John Updike stories: 'Walter Briggs'
I'm reading and commenting on a story from The Library of America's recently published 'John Updike: The Collected Stories' each Wednesday until I finish the collection or give up.
In Updike's slight story "Walter Briggs," the young married couple Jack and Claire are driving back from a thing in Boston with their two droopy little kids in their car. They're passing time in the enforced setting, as these young Updike couples of the late '50s seem to do, with a verbal game: "Who's Best?," riffing on people from their past. »Read Full Blog Post

A little update on my life: I have been busy with the whole college thing and cannot buy any games. In fact, I only have a tiny group of games to play on ps1, xbox, and gba sp. It is a sad thing, but at least I have more than I did last year. On to what I have been playing...
World of Warcraft: I never really played it a lot until this year. With that said, I am definitely NOT hardcore about it. My dad got me my own account, at the beginning of the year, because he wanted me to play with him. My goal was to get to level 80 by the end of the year. I don't think that will be possible because I have a lot of other things to do. Right now I am in the 40s. Not to mention the fact that MMORPGs are not my favorite type of game. I won't get into that right now.
Legends of Dragoon: It is an old game that I never finished playing. Now I am starting over and am determined to beat the game. I remember why I didn't think the game was awesome.
My plan for the blog: I decided to post my opinions about a game after I beat it. If something incredibly interesting happens in an online game or when playing against friends: I will mention that as well. Unless I get a new flow of gaming opportunities...I probably won't be posting much.

Isola Pizza San Diego
Posted By: Mad Greek on February 26th, 2016 0 Comments
Isola Pizza San Diego, nestled into the comfy corridor of Little Italy in… you guessed it, San Diego… WHAT? Did you think I was going to say… New York? There's no such thing as Little Italy in NY anymore and on that note, New Yorkers should be ashamed of themselves to trade thin crust pizza for fried wontons and pork lo mein. But enough of my rant, let's get to the reasons why Isola Pizza is the Best Pizza in San Diego, CA.

Old pre 1920 South Bend metal turning lathe in good shape. Was a flat belt drive from a line shaft but was converted to a motor drive. Runs good and well tooled. This was taken apart to be moved out of a basement. Delivery is possable, also assembly. Please don't ask for pictures as is is still apart. If you want to see what it would look like to http://www.lathes.co.uk/southbend/page2.html the top picutre is on the one.

The Bangarra dancers have just emerged from two weeks back home in our little creative cave, the studios on the wharf, where we have had the much needed time to pay attention to our bodies, regaining strength and energy, and resting those parts of the body affected by repetitive strain. We also had the pleasure of changing our focus to the regional tour program Kinship, rehearsing Brolga undergoing some sort of metamorphosis, melting into a flock of birds. The process is treasured especially by those of us who have birds as traditional totems, mine is the black cockatoo so to be a bird must be deep within me somewhere!
We spent most mornings running Blak, and I found that running the show repetitively but without performance quality made me focus more on my execution of the movements. In addition, the extra time out of the theatre encouraged most of us to spend extra time strengthening and stretching our bodies, giving that never ending reach for perfection in technique a little attention. I must say that Robert Curran, with his wealth of ballet knowledge, and general understanding of the body, has prompted a physical change in all of us – we are on the road to a better understanding of our dancing bodies!
The focus shifted last week, however, as we prepared for the Sydney opening night last Friday. We are back at the Opera House and the familiarity is wonderful. We settle in, and sink back into our Opera House routine. It is very special to perform to Sydney city, the town that has been home to the company since its birth. So it's heads down tails up as we work hard to make Blak a beautiful soul experience for our audiences at the Drama Theatre.

Hours: Two surveys compared
January 06, 2005
The Current Population Survey (CPS) measure of hours worked is, on average, fairly close to the American Time-Use Survey (ATUS) time-diary estimates of hours when the diary day is in the CPS reference week.
However, the CPS measure of actual hours in the reference week is about 5 percent higher than the hours data collected in ATUS for the other 3 weeks of each month. The fact that the CPS reference week was selected, in part, to avoid holidays both explains some of the difference and simplifies the task of tracking trends in work hours using CPS data.
Analysts must keep in mind, however, that a measure of monthly hours worked constructed from CPS weekly hours data would overstate actual hours worked during the month.
The data used here are from the Current Population Survey and the American Time-Use Survey. To learn more about their concepts, definitions, and data on working hours, see Harley Frazis and Jay Stewart, "What can time-use data tell us about hours at work?" in Monthly Labor Review, December 2004.

|Special Issue - March 2004
| SCIENCE FICTION - Intuition and fantasy
It was in 1623 that the German astronomer Johannes Kepler wrote Somnium, a detailed account of a journey to the moon. He noted how 'agreeable it is to anticipate what is going to happen years in advance'. This venture by a man of science marked the beginning of a new literary genre: science fiction. Today, we find the European Space Agency (ESA) collecting texts, taking the measure of 'futuristic' ideas and organising a science fiction literary competition. Who knows – one day this pursuit of the imagination may even serve to inspire our scientists and engineers.
As technical progress accelerated, it increasingly fuelled the imagination of writers as they anticipated the technologies of the future. Yet the world of fiction can often be far removed from reality, and only a very small percentage of works of science fiction describe feasible inventions.
But is that any reason not to make a more serious study of certain visionary ideas? NASA recently carried out a detailed study of the concept of the space elevator which Arthur C. Clarke imagined in his novel The Fountains of Paradise (1979). They concluded that 50 years from now it could well be the best mode of transport in geostationary orbit.
ESA scouts the field
David Raitt, project leader at the European Space Agency, has a maxim: stay realistic without putting the blinkers on the imagination. 'I am not a scientist or an engineer and I don't read science fiction. But that does not stop me having certain ideas. One of these was simply to look at old works of science fiction to see if some of the concepts they describe could be feasible today, using our more advanced technology. For example, a number of authors described tools which involved what they called miniaturisation – and miniaturisation has recently become a possibility.'
So, David Raitt suggested that the ESA should look for ideas in the vast pool of science fiction literature. 'The scheme did not meet with such a favourable reception at first. The fear was that people might conclude that the Agency lacked imagination and was turning to science fiction as a last resort. But in the end I managed to persuade them to allow me to make the study and, when announced, it was welcomed by the general press and scientific journalists as an innovative and refreshing idea.'
The experts investigate
Two partners embarked on the adventure: the Maison d'Ailleurs (The House of Elsewhere), a Swiss museum which houses more than 400 000 works of science fiction, and the OURS Foundation, also Swiss, which promotes cultural activities on space-related subjects, such as conferences and exhibitions. Following an Internet appeal, some 600 people (including engineers and scientists from various space agencies) expressed an interest in the project. They divided up the work, studied the literature and gave their opinions on what they thought might and might not be possible. They identified 250 concepts or technologies which are currently being studied by a group of experts. The proposals are grouped into categories: techniques of propulsion, space colonisation, energy, communications, robotics, materials, etc. 'When the process is complete, there may be just five or six concepts remaining for an in-depth study. But that is more than enough,' believes the project promoter.
Encouraging literary creation
The ESA also organised The Clarke-Bradbury International Competition, an SF literary competition that awarded first prize to Lavie Tadhar, a 26-year-old living in the United Kingdom, for his short story Temporal Spiders, Spatial Webs. 'We received many interesting stories from 36 countries, about 50 of them written by women. Lavie's story was chosen for its excellent writing, underlying technological concept and poetic qualities. The impression it creates is of a strange and very different future. We will probably hold a similar competition again next year.'
Literary creation has the merit of immersing us in the realm of the feasible. Space exploration is an excellent example. Patrick Gyger, director of La Maison d'Ailleurs, believes that science fiction prepares the public to accept – or challenge – science. 'I think that one of the secondary effects of science fiction – secondary to the extent that it is not necessarily sought by the authors – is to make people dream. As innovative technologies are the key to some of these dreams, it leads the public to be more ready to accept them. However, science fiction also warns us against the uncontrolled use of techniques such as cloning or genetic engineering. It can therefore motivate certain researchers to work in a particular field and at the same time make them more aware of the use they or others could make of their discoveries.'
Prehistory, or SF in reverse
However, the future is not the only unknown terrain explored by writers. The past can be similarly murky, especially if you travel back to the time before man appeared on the scene. Geologists, palaeontologists and archaeologists painstakingly seek to reconstruct history from the vestiges of the past. But what about the gaps in our knowledge? In his presentation of the novel by Jean-Pierre Andrevon, L'homme aux dinosaures, the palaeontologist Stephen Jay Gould argues on behalf of the imagination. He states that 'fiction can add a great deal to scientific inquiry, providing interesting intellectual insight that the scientists themselves, given the norms that govern their profession, are not enabled to envisage in their publications.' Gould also expresses the regret that researchers 'are denied this rewarding approach to scientific questions'.
The meeting of Neanderthal and Cro-Magnon man is one example of a fascinating period in human history which still holds many mysteries. It therefore provides excellent raw material that writers have turned to for some very well thought out scenarios (1). In addition to speculating freely on the actual events of the past, novelists are able to use another ingredient that is normally out of bounds to the scientist: the reconstruction of the subjective world of human beings in these distant times, complete with their emotions and interactions. Here, too, the imagination can make a significant contribution to scientific knowledge. Jean Auel, for example, began writing his trilogy The Earth's Children by asking how prehistoric man ate, drank and 'prayed'. In his novels, Björn Kurtén, a palaeontologist as well as a novelist, brings together the white-skinned Neanderthals and black-skinned Cro-Magnon. To each author his scenario, and to each novel its universe – time itself will provide the necessary elements to support or dismiss their hypotheses, as indeed is the case for scientific theories.
(1) In particular, William Golding (The Inheritors), Björn Kurtén (Dance of the Tiger), Joseph-Henry Rosny Ainé (Quest for Fire), Pierre Pelot (The Clay Eaters), or Jean Auel (The Earth's Children).

Hi all, I am in the midst of replacing the two transaxles on my 91 Camry FWD 4 cylinder US made vehicle. I have managed to remove the transaxle from the hubs, but I can't figure out how to remove it from the transmission. Can anyone enlighten me, I would be greatful
Gordo, I just went thru this exact same exercise on my wife's '93 4 cyl, what I eventually found out....after much anger and the temptation to throw things.......was that the intermediate shaft, the shaft that goes from the right side drive axle into the transaxle, does not necessarily need to be replaced when the drive axles are replaced. The inner cv joint boot can be opened up, and the new driveaxle can be installed onto the existing intermediate shaft, as the shaft itself and it's bearing rarely fail (it's usually the outer cv's that go, shortly after the boots split and let the dirt and water in). I tried to remove the intermediate shaft too, I figured what the hell, I paid for it, but the bearing was seized into the cast motor mount bracket, and it was not going to come out. All of the above only pertains to the pass side of the car, the drivers side is easy, once the wheel hub has been removed from the driveaxle and dropped out of the way, the axle can be pried out of the transaxle, there is only a split ring holding it into the trans. If it doesn't cooperate, pry on it and gently tap on it as well to get it moving, it will "pop" out, and the new one should "pop" in. Good Luck, Ed

Sometimes basketball teams win games with sharp shooting, fast-break layups and great passing. Other times they just have to grind out results when they are at less than their best.
The Henry County Lady Cats' weekend victories over Spencer County on Friday night and Kentucky Country Day on Saturday would go in the latter category.
After a slow start the Lady Cats pulled away late to defeat the Lady Bears by a score of 32-25. On Saturday in a physical defensive battle, the Lady Cats hung in to get the 33-30 win against KCD.
When the Eminence Warriors first squared off against Owen County on Jan. 24, it was a rough 82-36 win for the Rebels.
Eminence knew what it needed to do against the streaky-fast, hot-shooting team.
"Our game plan was to hold the ball," Eminence head coach Chris Nethery said. "If they didn't have it, they couldn't score."
Henry County High School senior Victoria Paynter made history Friday.
The senior soccer player became the first female player from the school to sign a letter of intent to play college soccer when she signed with the University of the Cumberlands.
She was joined in the high school library with family, friends and former coaches to share in the momentous occasion. Paynter's parents, Leesa and Skip, observed the signing, along with her former coaches, Shannon Snider and Charlie Pait.
When the health care law was passed, the Democrats cleverly front-loaded some of the goodies, but left the most troubling mandates and requirements to be implemented at a later date. When the Obama administration recently released its contraception mandate, we all got a glimpse of what is coming from Washington as the health care law is implemented.
File those Receipts
When we bought our home in 1992, we installed ceiling fans in every room. I know decorators hate them, but who cares what they think? Anyway, in 2008, my Mom reached up and pulled the chain on the fan in her bedroom and kaboom! It shorted out and burst into a ball of fire.
Thankfully, my husband was home and he was able to disconnect it and save the night without anyone getting hurt or the house burning down.
Arts & Crafts
The Henry County Arts & Crafts Guild will meet at 6 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 16 at the Henry County Extension Building on U.S. 421. Anyone interesting in joining is welcome to attend.
Free adult scrapbooking offered at the Eminence Community Life Center from 10 a.m. to noon, on Thursdays.
Religious services
Any Eminence business that sells alcohol may soon be required to have its employees STAR-trained.
That would include the city's liquor stores, as well as other businesses that sell package beer. Server Training in Alcohol Regulations already had been part of the city's alcohol ordinance for restaurants, but one council member felt that the requirement should go a little further.
Currently, the regulation requires only that one employee per shift be STAR trained.
A UPS delivery from California resulted in the arrest of a Louisville woman in Henry County last week.
Henry County Sheriff Danny Cravens said Sarah A. Scott, 33, was arrested after she allegedly accepted a UPS delivery containing 30 pounds of marijuana.
The marijuana carries a street value of about $40,000 to $45,000.
Cravens said the San Bernadino, Calif., Sheriff's Office contacted him last week to notify him of a possible drug-trafficking operation.
They say timing is everything, and so it was for Eminence High School senior Alyssa Jones.
Jones, who has been involved in her church choir since she was very young and began taking voice lessons from Ruth Ann Mills-Moore in New Castle as a fourth-grader, participated in the music program during her three years at Henry County High School.
Last summer, she and her family moved to the house in Eminence where her late grandmother lived. That meant transferring from HCHS to EHS for her senior year.
After more than nine hours of deliberation, a jury found Johnny Lee Gibson not guilty of five felony charges related to a 2008 home invasion in Smithfield.
Rob Riley, who defended Gibson, said his client was "ecstatic that he finally had his day in court," and that Gibson was "happy as a clam" with the verdict.

Mariah Carey officially named to 'American Idol' judges' table
Kevin Reilly, Fox President of Entertainment, seemed to be taunting the journalists in the audience at his TCA press tour panel. He promised that he was getting the latest addition to the judges table at "American Idol" onto the phone, noting that this person was a "megastar."
"He's kidding around, right?" whispered one journalist. Even Reilly's struggle in getting his phone call through to this megastar seemed like it could be part of the joke.
But it wasn't. Soon the very recognizable voice of Mariah Carey reverberated through the room. "I am so excited for the journey Idol," she said. "I wanted to be there today, wish I could have been there myself to tell you. This happened real quickly, so I can't wait to get started in a couple months! Have a great TCA and I will see you in January!"
It was a quick phone call, and Reilly promised that he didn't want to get "too deep" into "American Idol" after it was concluded. "There's really nothing else we can confirm," he said.
But Reilly did go on to confirm a few things nevertheless. He said that the decision to add Carey to the judges was no surprise to the existing (and outgoing) judges. "We've been very transparent with our talent," he said, noting that the possible exit of Jennifer Lopez and confirmed exit of Steven Tyler came from a "mutual decision." As for Randy Jackson, he was not only on board with the deal; he was part of it. "We have so many moving parts, I don't want to talk about Randy. He has worked with Mariah and he was very instrumental in doing this deal."
As far as Lopez and Tyler's exits, he said that "no one was slamming doors on anyone," but did confirm that Lopez was definitely out. "I think Nigel [Lythgoe] said 99 percent; I can say it's 100 percent that Jennifer won't be back to the show.

History Channel Civil War: Secret Missions treats what should be a rich historical palate as a first-person shooter backdrop and nothing more. Both parties – history buffs and shooter fans – will be disappointed. This is essentially Battle for the Pacific re-skinned and repackaged.
A bland title with weak and nonsensical mechanics, as well as generic visuals and sound. This doesn't impart a sense of these missions, nor does it cover enough of the Civil War to do the battle justice.
If you see it in a 99-cent bin somewhere...avoid it. If someone leaves it at your doorstep, call your local anti-terrorist organization and have forensics experts find out who would do such a heinous act. Yes, I'm being a bit harsh here, but so was Activision when they decided to create a game that offers absolutely no value, terrible gameplay, awful visuals, and poor audio and charge nearly full price for it.

I want to hear from YOU.
A couple weeks ago, I made a plea for surfers get in touch with me. I got some great feedback that will lead to some great upcoming sports sections.
Now, I want to hear from anyone that has any type of sports related story they think I should hear. I know there's got to be a ton of interesting athletes in St. Johns County, and I want to learn about them. I want you to let me know what I'm missing.
Send me an email, (email@example.com) or hit me up on Twitter (@CodyErbacher).
Is it just me, or is this Olympic men's hockey team a little overblown? To even compare it to the "Miracle on Ice" disturbs me greatly. Hockey is not what it used to be. America is no longer some pushover. How many Americans are in the NHL? A lot. That alone should push this idea of some stirring upset out the window. It's not like we don't play the sport here.
Is there a more sordid group of employees than the talent that roams ESPN's halls? Although there are plenty of great people there, there are more than a few rotten apples. Former Mets GM Steve Phillips took the Tiger Woods train out of the building. Michael Irvin did "something" wrong and former Baseball Tonight analyst Harold Reynolds apparently barked up the wrong tree. Not to mention, the odd rumors that led to Sean Salisbury getting the boot.
If you were watching snowboarder Shaun White last week, you had to hear his coach, Bob Keane. NBC wasn't using its trusty tape delay and broadcast an exchange between the two that had parents from here to Vancouver cringing. Simply put, there were more F's in that conversation than there were in my report card in my junior year of high school. Yes, quite a few.
There is a strong part of me that wants to bash Danica Patrick right now. However, like the majority of human beings on this planet, I'm actually interested in what she does. That realization has made me question my sanity lately. I actually watched part of the Nationwide race on Saturday. There is less than zero chance I would have done that before. Her story is an intriguing one, even if it makes me cringe.
While I wasn't even interested enough in Tiger Woods' apology to watch the whole thing, I am a little interested in what happens when he starts playing golf again. Hey, remember, he used to be a famous golfer. An item from The Associated Press has me more interested. The article says Woods' caddie, Steve Williams, claims he won't allow heckling when the star returns to playing. I can't wait to see that. Williams has a history of dealing roughly with fans who interrupt Woods in any fashion. If he thinks he can beat up every fan who has something nasty to say in the vicinity of Woods (especially after the sex scandal), golf is about to become a serious action sport. At least for the spectators. Stuart Korfhage
There are so many different opinions on Tiger Woods right now that I want to lock myself in a closest and wait for it to end. The only thing I'm concerned with is his playing career. I've had about enough of everything else.
What will Tiger say? Will he admit anything that we don't already know? Does anyone care that much? Of course we do.
So, we all know that Tiger Woods is going to talk on Friday. But when will Tiger really talk? When is he going to have to face some tough questions and not keep ducking behind Web-site postings and press releases?
While much of the world is captivated by the Olympics or the impending start of baseball's spring training, some of us are starting to get excited about the NCAA men's basketball tournament. But there might not be much excitement in Florida, despite the fact that we'll have some games right here in North Florida. Unless one of our state schools wins a conference tournament, I think the Sunshine State is going to be shut out of the field. Florida and Florida State could still play their way in (as could South Florida), but they all have a lot of work to do. Stuart Korfhage
Now I know why the NBA plays on Christmas Day and the NFL dominates Thanksgiving. It's all to avoid leaving us with a day like Monday, perhaps the lamest Presidents Day in the history of sports. Really, what was there to get excited about? Anytime Floyd Landis makes it back into the news you know it's a slow day. That's like bringing your girlfriends dog to the park. We all know it's a sham.
