Skip to comments.Obama Wins Ohio - It's Over
Posted on 11/04/2008 6:21:14 PM PST by My Favorite Headache
Obama wins Ohio...it's not going to happen for McCain.
Unlike Goldberg's, half of this new book is actually devoted to the solution to reclaim traditional America. Time to get reading.
I had a long discussion with another attorney today. He claimed to be a Christian. He apparently is fairly active in a Baptist church and attends weekly Bible studies. To my amazement he told me that he voted for Obama. I flat out told him that I could not imagine how any Christian could possibly vote for Obama. He apparently was completely ignorant of Obama's radical stand on the issue of late-term abortions, and the born alive act. He gave me the standard "excuse" that "nobody is for abortion" and that somehow he was convinced that Obama was against abortion.
I explained to him how angry God was at the worshipers of Molech and Baal, and how his anger was stirred by the fact that they were sacrificing their children. I pointed out to him that there is literally no difference between sacrificing your child to Molech and aborting your child for economic reasons. I pointed out to him that 99.9% of abortions are for economic reasons and that less than 1/10 of 1% are necessitated by "rape, incest, or the life of the mother."
I also pointed out to him that God's judgment came down upon those nations that practiced child sacrifice. I pointed out how God utterly destroyed those nations, ordering the Israelites to kill every man, woman, child, God, of course, chicken, and anything else that was living and not to take anything out from the city that he ordered destroyed.
what amazed me was his utter and complete lack of understanding of the issue of the life of the unborn and Obama's peculiar stand on the issue. All he could do is make excuses for his choice to vote for Obama. I pointed out that I could not possibly see how any Christian, knowing the stand of Obama on the issue of life could possibly vote for him for president.
Unfortunately after I was done speaking with him, I was fairly well convinced at that point that Obama was going to get elected. There are simply too many "Christians" like him. There are simply too many "Christians" who think that the issues of economics, the so-called plight of the poor, and the unfairness of wealth distribution are somehow more important than the life of our posterity.
I fear that the same kind of judgment that was brought upon the nations in the Old Testament that practiced child sacrifice will be brought upon this nation at some time in the near or not to distant future.
Apparently America has spoken. Apparently America has made its choice.
This is a sad day for America. To paraphrase Michelle Obama, this is the first day in my life where I have been ashamed to be an American.
(Deuteronomy 30:19 KJV) I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:
May God have Mercy on us all.
Hubby and I are discussing tonight how we can retire early.
We done that after W. got elected in 04 - we do not regret it one bit. Go for it, and claim every tax exemption you can find in your state.
I can guess Mitt Romney will start pounding the living crap out of Obama on weekend talk shows by this time next year.
By then we will have 10 percent unemployment, and people will want to shoot themselves for voting for this idiot.
Biden will have made at least 20 retarded statements, and people will begin to realize that the aneurysm did severe brain damage.
Obama is Bush's legacy.
You know that 2 year supply that the mormons used to teach.
Stock up....to include ammo and the things that make them go bang.
A socialist makes a country communist by causing a crisis and a revolution.
There is yet a remnant, though.
I wonder what in the world pro-abortion "Christians" think is floating around in the amniotic fluid of the womb prior to its birthday?
Your lawyer friend is a feel-good, happy-clappy, religious clubber. We've all got our weaknesses and our times when we sin, but the point is that we're supposed to acknowledge it as sin. We're not supposed to explain it away.
I probably should have voted for Baldwin.
Someone will be along soon to chide you for voting (in effect) for Zero, but not me. I also voted for Baldwin, in SC, a safe-bet state. Also, for the first time in my life, I did not vote for a Republican for Senate - Pandsy exemplifies my disgust, and I'm sure he gets his lever pulled plenty without a reach-around from me.
I don't know if my vote will actually ever matter again in big elections, as I will be confining my family to "safe" states, purposely. I recognize that I prayed last night for the impossible, an electorate able to put their country/long-term, above a payday; an educated/un-indoctrinated electorate; a population where the ne'er-do-wells still had a conscious, and knew that they don't really deserve a say while they are on the teet.
I know that I am foolish.
I will honor the memory of what a group of rabble rousers were able to accomplish 235 years ago, and what millions of men with great courage have sacrificed. As a more eloquent man that I has said, "I declare that this government is no longer a constitutional and moral form of government. I will deal with it, and I will obey its laws, and I will support it when it is defending our country from foreign and domestic enemies. I will vote in its elections and participate in its political debates. But I will never accept it. I aim at a restoration of constitutional and moral order."
You "betcha"
The Bush legacy is complete...
Another thing: In the future, it sure helps if whatever candidate you have is a bit articulate.
George Bush was better able to communicate a point and argue it than was John McCain.
Our best communicator this time was Giuliani, but he was no conservative. After him it was Romney or Thompson. Even Thompson, though, wasn't quick on his feet.
Just a few short years ago I would have said East Tennessee. But our first Mexican President ruined it. East Tennessee Rural areas are still OK though. But the major cities like Knoxville, Oak Ridge and Morristown are over ran with Bush's Far South of Crawford, Texas friends.
I represent a couple of solid evangelical urban churches and am amazed that the pastors have the same outlook as the "christian" attorney you spoke to. All they could talk about was the "if you have done it unto the least of these" theme. I asked them if they knew who gave the most to "the least of these", McCain or Obama and they could not answer nor could they explain "evil companions corrupt good morals".
What is even more maddening is when the corruption and the restrictions on their liberty and pocketbook start, they will rejoice that God has counted them worthy to suffer rather than see it as God giving them the desires of their hearts and bringing leanness.
see #161 & #165
Since then, we have not had a spokesman to rival Newt.
I know it's a double standard, but if we are to set ourselves up above the Dem low lives, we need a representative who embodies his principles without his 'baggage'.
I have recently been thinking of taking courses in political science and government. I think I should be willing to "walk the walk". ( a funny choice of words, given my current 'position')
What is the leanness that God will give for turning a head so as not to see the babies in Molech's belly?
Or for helping to put them there?
He can relax, be himself. He can write new laws for Obama, that Im sure Obama will be happy to pass. Maybe he can start with the re-write of the Fairness doctrine .... or maybe Cap and trade,and banning offshore drilling. Maybe A good tax hike to nail the rich.
What is the leanness that God will give for turning a head so as not to see the babies in Molech's belly?
Or for helping to put them there?
I can agree with that. I have long held that by Divine Law national leaders are one of two things. They are either a blessing to nations with contrite and GOD fearing hearts, or used as a judgement for those doing otherwise. For our drinking of the cup lesser of evils The Tab we have ran up as a nation has just come due. Clinton was a warning. Obama will be a judgement.
Yeah, he used the old "Golden Rule" argument and had the temerity to suggest that if Jesus were alive -- (as if he were dead) -- if Jesus were alive, today, he'd be a Democrat because somehow "doing unto others" is solely a Democrat virtue. I suggested that Jesus would never rob Peter to pay Paul, which is what the progressive tax does. I told him that Jesus would advocate voluntary Charity rather than forced Charity. I also pointed out that the welfare system makes the Government "God" in they eyes of those who receive Manna from the Government and they no longer rely upon the good graces of the Church.
It was a maddening conversation, but at the end, I knew that Obama was going to be the next president, because Obama is going to the the Messiah from Washington. People have decided to put their trust in Government and abandon their trust in God.
Its a sad day.
I'm probably going to retire to the Religion Forum after tonight. Let's say we start up the Calvin/Arminian wars again. At least if we are busy arguing scripture, we will also be busy studying it. I'm sick to death of politics. God's plan was set in motion before the foundation of the Earth. Sometimes its better to just watch from the sidelines than to struggle to change it.
Everything that I thought I was seeing was just a mirage.
Reagan's Party and Reagan's America is gone now.
I'd prefer my candidates in the future to resign their other positions. He returns to the Senate; she returns to the governorship.
As a paranoid conspiracy theorist....no...as another human being, it would be easy for me to say to myself, "Doesn't matter; I still have a really good job to fall back on."
What would they do differently if that weren't true?
What if they gave a Rapture and nobody left?
I just heard Carl Cameron on Fox say that many in McCain's camp "whispered" that McCain felt Obama, as a historic candidate, "should" win.
Is that the same as hinting that McCain THREW this election?
All from the right.
"I'm probably going to retire to the Religion Forum after tonight."
I think I will reintroduce myself to K.
Our goal for 2012 .... run with a guy born after 1950 who doesn't look and talk like a recovering drunk. We might actually win.
God help us.
Am I being too much of a downer?
What if God's judgment is to make all America's deals work out, and everyone has 2 cars in every garage and porterhouse on every grill?
He makes them so comfortable that they say to themselves, "....forget about those babies being sacrificed to Molech."
That's separating the sheep & goats. And then....
Me too. I think that a lot of 401K investors are going to change their positions in a drastic way. It's silly to invest when the communist government (like the one just elected) gets first cut.
*****I'm probably going to retire to the Religion Forum after tonight. Let's say we start up the Calvin/Arminian wars again. At least if we are busy arguing scripture, we will also be busy studying it. I'm sick to death of politics.

All of that being said, perhaps you should run for Congress in '10?
Satan (the delusions of the religion of man) won this battle; take heart for yourself, your loved ones (including most here that I've gotten to know), and your knowledge of His Truth — we know with sureness He has always planned on winning the "Big One."
Stay true, and remember that this life's time is only a blink of an eye compared with the time he has in store for you. Nevertheless, you will want to proudly tell Your Father what you accomplished with this short time, how apparent it is that His wishes motivated you.
Let God continue to bless this fantastic and God-fearing community. Amen.
***What if Gods judgment is to make all Americas deals work out, and everyone has 2 cars in every garage and porterhouse on every grill?***
More than likely SPAM in every frying pan and 1 Euro style car (read: tiny) car in every driveway.
***Thats separating the sheep & goats. And then....***
We've already started. You will see FALCON make a helluva lot of noise for the next 4 years.
Hunter/Palin FALCON 2012. No worries about not calling the spade a spade.
Never mind the Rapture, I want to know how the post mils and amils can look at this mess as the Kingdom being progressively ushered in.
Maybe we have reignited the eschatological wars rather than the Calvinist'Arminian wars.
"More than likely SPAM in every frying pan"
They had the "Spamarama" cook off on the cooking channel tonight. The corn dogs made with Spam coated in a mix of cake mix, corn meal,and jalapeno peppers and deep fried looked great.
I used to buy cigarettes from Latvia back before I quit smoking. They weren't too bad and were sure cheaper than even Indian cigarettes from the reservation over in Reno!!!
Thank God that's over with!!! The poor smokers are worse off than the blacks/slaves ever were. They not only can't even sit in the back of the bus... THEY CAN'T EVEN GIT ON THE DANGED BUS!!!
No sir. It is not. No more so than after the Watergate/RINO Ford/Carter years. The seed planted by Reagan and Goldwater and Buckley many decades ago bore fruit in CA; and then the entire nation in 1980. Just in the nick of time, I might add.
The many seeds and deep roots that Reagan sowed and cultivated will lead us back to a Constitutional Republic, and away from the stinking piles of bullshit we have seen over the last 20 years since the Gipper faded away.
We are in for a rough 4 years. But make no mistake, the democrats will make Bush and Co. look like responsible stewards of our dollars, and make the Clinton Administration's foreign policy look like Patton was running the show.
We have our work cut out for us. America just elected a marxist quisling. And it will take nothing short of the total re-invigoration of conservatism - the unabashed conservatism and humor of Ronald Reagan, the brilliant natural law conservatism of Jefferson and Madison and Franklin; the deep wisdom of Edmund Burke and Adam Smith, and the 'bloody your nose' conservatism of Teddy Roosevelt and Winston Churchill - to stop Obama, Ayers and their revolutionary red brigades.
We can do it. We have no choice. But it is our sacred duty and honor, in service to He who gave this country to us, and to the memory of all the brave patriots that spilled their blood for our posterity.
It is our turn, Walt.
America becoming Obama's "world citizen" socialist mecca? Not on our watch.
Well, Xzins, we did our damndest to get the GOP to snap out of the funk it was heading towards with the Rudy McRomney chosen ones. To no avail.
Me too. Talking with my 401K folks today. Time to cash out. Money is safer under a mattress anyway. I call upon "True Americans" to protect their assets and income from thievery. Be VERY tactful and imaginative when doing tax returns. And make as much "under the table" money as you can......
The 2 mandates that I think Obama has is: (1) His tax cut for 95% who make under $250,000. (2) His universal health insurance plan. His followers also will think he has a mandate to pull out of Iraq and Afghanistan.
Oddly enough, those tax cut and universal health are contradictory unless he pulls out our troops AND raises taxes. So, he'll go very quickly for that tax cut for the 95%. That way, the tax increases starting in 2010 when the Bush cuts start expiring will end up making taxes higher when all the math is done.
He'll still need the money from the military, so he'll bring them all home and transfer the money borrowed for the war to being money spent on health care.
The message to families of our military is very sad. Since we know that Obama has set a deadline of 16 months to be out of Iraq, that means ANY death there between now and that moment in time is a total waste. We should support at this point getting out troops out.
HE is a democrat. He will not cut anyone's taxes. Bush's tax cuts are due to expire. That means a tax hike for everyone. Obama will institute universal health care. That means a significant payroll cut for all employees who are not currently under some kind of payroll plan where they get health insurance. Small businesses will be bankrupted by having to institute the health care for all their workers regardless of whether or not those workers even care about it.
Obama will cut the military, which means that defense contractors will lay off workers and military personnel will be sent into the private sector where unemployment will likely to reach 10% in the next two years.
There is simpy not enough money for Obama's grand plans, so taxes will rise not only on the rich but on everyone. Usage fees and excise taxes and luxury taxes will be doubled or tripled, which will force luxury item manufacturers (like boat builders) overseas.
There is simply no way Obama is going to cut anyone's taxes. We are now Europe. When is the last time a Socialist European Country lowered taxes?
Brace for a depression.
With double digit inflation likely in the next 4 years, your money in the mattress will soon be worth less than the straw you took out to make room for the money.

Vocational training still vital for region
Which came first, the chicken or the egg?
A form of that question often arises in Northeast Michigan these days when it comes to vocational training. If a vocational job becomes available locally, is there a person trained to step in and fill it?
Unfortunately, depending on the job, sometimes the answer is yes, but sometimes the answer is no.
In the economic reality we live in today some of the talent pool has moved elsewhere for work, some has re-trained for other work while some never have had the opportunity to train in school for the position.
For local factories and schools, this has been a real paradigm shift from a decade ago when even in slow economic times, high schools in the region still offered multi-levels of vocational training. Today, vocational training still occurs, but not at the same level, and not with the same course offerings, as in the past. For some courses, Alpena Community College has stepped in and filled the gap. In other instances, the training just doesn't exist unless it occurs on the job.
State Rep. Peter Pettalia, R-Presque Isle, is one of several legislators looking at the vocational training opportunities in the state, and seeing if there isn't something that can be done to provide more opportunities for school districts to increase offerings.
Vocational training always has, and always will be an important component of our educational system. It deserves all our support.

Academic Challenge
Our Program
The Academic Challenge Program was established in 1987 as a college-school partnership between the nine Sussex County School Districts and the Georgetown Campus of Delaware Tech. The program is open to qualified students in eighth grade, and the five-year program offers them the standard high school curriculum in mathematics and English at an accelerated pace allowing for college course work during the junior and senior years of high school. All college courses are taught at the Georgetown Campus through Delaware Tech and the University of Delaware. It is possible to earn 12 college credits in English and 15 college credits in mathematics.
The Academic Challenge Program is suitable for students who are
- High ability
- Motivated
- Able to benefit from accelerated instruction
Students who are completing their third marking period in the 7th grade are evaluated for
- aptitude
- achievement student performance assessment in the specific subject area
- overall student performance assessment
- SAT results
- Program availability in the school district
Speak to your middle school guidance counselor for further information regarding the selection process.
Students must enter the program in the eighth grade. Only those students who transfer into the county at a later point may enter the program after the eighth grade.
Students may enroll in both English and math or choose just one subject area. They may not add an area after beginning the program.
See the Student Handbook for more information.

As I write this, JavaOne 2012 (September 30-October 4 in San Francisco, CA) is just over a week away -- the seventeenth JavaOne! I'll resist the impulse to travel in memory back to the early days of JavaOne. But I will say that JavaOne is a little like your birthday or New Year's in that it invites reflection, evaluation, and comparison. It's a time when we take the temperature of Java and assess the world of information technology generally. At JavaOne, insight and information flow amongst Java developers like no other time of the year.
This year, the status of Java seems more secure in the eyes of most Java developers who agree that Oracle is doing an acceptable job of stewarding the platform, and while the story is still in progress, few doubt that Oracle is engaging strongly with the Java community and wants to see Java thrive.
From my perspective, the biggest news about Java is the growth of some 250 alternative languages for the JVM – from Groovy to Jython to JRuby to Scala to Clojure and on and on – offering both new opportunities and challenges. The JVM has proven itself to be unusually flexible, resulting in an embarrassment of riches in which, more and more, developers are challenged to find ways to optimally mix together several different languages on projects.
To the matter at hand -- I can say with confidence that Oracle is working hard to make each JavaOne better than the last – more interesting, more stimulating, more networking, and more fun! A great deal of thought and attention is being devoted to the task.

>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: good organisation, great scenery and course, but short :(In full: A fun race which I'll definitely do again. BUT ...... a short course which is poor. I've seen 8 Strava activity records for this year's race and most are 9.7k, the remainder 9.8k.Date of review: January 26, 2015
In short: well organised, well supported, not "flat" :)In full: The "race village" in Lammas Park was varied and well organised. In addition to various genuinely useful/interesting sponsors/concessions there was slick check in for people arriving without race packs and very efficient baggage drop and recovery. Minor negative note on race timing is that the results provided online include a "grading" which is not an accurate Age Grade, but rather an Age Grade calculated using out of date Age Grade tables. Special positive mention to Xempo who, in addition to their running wear concession in the race village, provided excellent pacers at 1:30, 1:45, 2:00 and 2:15.The course really isn't "flat". I think "undulating" would be a much fairer description. None of the undulations are a serious "hill" and none of the undulations are steep, but nonetheless the course is a significant factor. Repeated gentle to medium inclines and declines take their toll over 13+ miles!BUT the course IS well lined with support. There are one or two real focal points with music and big crowds, but throughout the course you're never alone even discounting other runners.I'd certainly do it again. And I'd enjoy it again. PB this time, but there are faster, truly flat, courses out there I'm sure.Date of review: October 1, 2013
In short: friendly organisers, friendly field, great organisation and venueDate of review: December 3, 2012
In short: fast, flat, well organisedIn full: Event and car park well signposted. Parking close to event. Frequent marshals and water station.Excellent race finish with what should be the standard race finish items - bananas, cereal bars and water. Race medal too if you're into that.Good weather helped and though I've given it 1 for scenery it's actually a very pleasant, green industrial estate. I never pay much attention to scenery anyway.Date of review: September 30, 2012
In short: great course, great race - to be enjoyed year after yearIn full: My first half marathon and my first race in Bournemouth - though I lived there many years ago.The course is great, mostly straight and the few corners are easy to negotiate. The course feels almost flat and correspondingly quick though there are actually two significant uphill inclines even those though are only "noticeably uphill" for brief periods. These occur during miles 1 and 8. The steepest incline is fortunately downhill and occurs during mile 12.Well marshalled and traffic respectful. Bournemouth residents are keen to give vocal support all around the course.Today's race weather was excellent and this contributed to my inner glow.[Beware of rapid changes in weather on coast - don't believe advance weather reports! Thursday's BBC forecast suggested "heavy rain/25 mph winds". Today/Sunday's actual weather was "sunny periods/7 mph winds" ...Date of review: March 29, 2010
In short: 2010 course change causes problems ...In full: I ran most of the 2009 series over a "3 and a bit laps" 10k course. Apart from the congested start and perhaps one or two sharpish turns it was a good course.2010 sees the introduction of a new "2 laps" 10k course which allows a 5k event to be held at the same time. Squeezing 5k into each lap requires that the course zig-zags a lot and unfortunately this apparently small change has several negative knock on effects ...Firstly several turns are sharp and anyone running anything faster than a 50 minute 10k will have their speed compromised on each one. Several of these corners require you to reduce to jogging pace. Often the sharp turns are accompanied by a narrowing of the course making running a faster arc impossible.Secondly the numerous zig-zags result in the course almost meeting itself in some places. At such points marshals are directing one set of runners on one part of the course and at the same time directing another set on another part. For me this resulted in meeting a marshal who was holding a clear arrow pointing in one direction, but who - as I approached him - directed me verbally to go in the opposite direction. It shouldn't be necessary in a well organised race to query the direction to take verbally in mid race.Some of the new parts of the course were wet/muddy and one runner fell over in front of me. I appreciate these areas will dry out later in the year, but over hanging branches on several of the new sharp narrow corners will only become more of an obstacle as Spring arrives ...Right now I'm already entered into the 11 April 2010 race, but can't see myself entering any future races on this course.Date of review: March 7, 2010
In short: orienteering + 10k road raceIn full: I've done this race before. And I do like it. It's friendly, well organised (*), you name it, it has it.* BUT //even though I've done it before// I (and //many// others on today's experience) still get caught out by the registration being a long way from the car park/entrance to the park and the registration in turn being a long way from the start (which is back by the car park). If you don't want to break into a run before the race you currently need to allow //at least// 30 minutes between arriving at Battersea Park and the race start. Just to arrive, find registration, take a number and find the start.It seems that the positioning of the start and registration could and should be //much// closer together. Also that the information given on this site and on the organiser's website should all clearly describe just where everything is.Date of review: July 27, 2008
In short: Good organisation, good course - with minor blips ...In full: Good organisation meant I had no trouble finding the event location, I received my race number to my home address in good time and the on course marshalling was excellent.Minor blips:Actually finding the start was slightly disconcerting since it was labelled at knee height.I was too busy running my legs off to be sure, but surely there's a better place to actually start the race? And as others have mentioned a gun/loud thing would be nice.Out on the course the mix of road and park is fine if a little narrow (pavement) in places. But after a few km field is generally well spread out, so no problems.Very friendly and well organised finish area.Date of review: May 6, 2008
In short: Great PB potential. Friendly organisers and friendly competitors.Date of review: August 29, 2006
In short: Big City Race feel .. Sad to discover that nearly £30 of my chosen charity's money was going to the race organisers.Date of review: August 29, 2006

Bombardier Adds Line Maintenance Facility in Nigeria
Bombardier named ExecuJet Nigeria as an authorized service facility to its business aircraft aftermarket services network. The Lagos, Nigeria, facility is now a Bombardier line maintenance facility (LMF) for Challenger 300, Challenger 604, Challenger 605, Global 5000, Global 6000, Global Express and Global Express XRS business jets.
"We are honored to have been appointed as a maintenance facility by Bombardier in Lagos, Nigeria, and this complements the services offered by our Bombardier ASF facility in Lanseria," said Ettore Poggi, managing director of ExecuJet Africa.
Bombardier now has a total of 60 LMFs and authorized maintenance facilities (AMF) worldwide, and plans to open a new wholly owned facility in Singapore later this year. More

The Office of Global Intergovernmental Affairs and the Bureau of Diplomatic Security co-hosted a Symposium on Security for Major Sporting Events in New Orleans, April 30-May 1, to advance U.S.-Brazil state and local cooperation. On the sidelines of the 2013 World Cultural Economic Forum (WCEF), co-hosted by Mayor Landrieu and the U.S. Conference of Mayors, the two-day Security Symposium convened security officials from the Brazilian states which will host the 2014 World Cup Games. Officials from eight U.S. federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies responsible for the organization and support of Super Bowl XLVII in New Orleans shared best practices on the coordination of the largest annual sporting event in the United States.
The recent tragedy in Boston has underscored the importance of effective collaboration with local officials on the security of major events. With U.S. state and local officials readdressing security measures in the wake of the Boston marathon bombing, the WCEF included a Special Session on Hosting Large International Sporting Events, moderated by Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson, which featured Mayor Landrieu and Michael Anderson, Director, FBI New Orleans.
The Security Symposium featured panel discussions which provided unique opportunities for peer-to-peer exchanges between the U.S. and Brazilian officials. After providing welcoming remarks to the Security Symposium, I participated in the lively discussions and witnessed first-hand the keen interest and information sharing between Symposium participants. One of the most valuable presentations, provided by the Public Safety Director of the Mercedes-Benz Superdome, detailed the successful management and security requirements which ensured the safety of 80,000 people attending the Super Bowl.
The Security Symposium also provided opportunities for U.S. and Brazilian officials to interact on a social basis forging relationships which will lead to future discussions to advance U.S.-Brazil Cooperation. With fewer than 400 days until the start of the World Cup, we will continue to collaborate with Brazilian local officials on a wide range of areas, including security; youth development and training; women in sports; social and racial inclusion; accessibility, English language training and cultural exchanges.

HTC Sensation 4G
May 23, 2012
When the HTC Sensation 4G launched on T-Mobile it was late to the party. T-Mobile was already selling 4G phones and struggling to attract their tech-forward consumer. We needed a campaign that gave the phone cool. We teamed with Google Goggles and local artists to develop original content. The result was a campaign that took a late-to-the-party phone and turned it into an icon for cutting-edge culture.

Los Alamos National Laboratory
Exploring Mars with Curiosity subject of next Los Alamos National Laboratory Frontiers in science lectures
- Steve Sandoval
- Communications Office
- (505) 665-9206
LOS ALAMOS, New Mexico, May 1, 2013—Los Alamos National Laboratory scientist Roger Wiens talks about the NASA Mars Curiosity rover, its journey to Mars and some of its discoveries on the Red Planet thus far in a series of Frontiers in Science presentations beginning May 7 in the Duane Smith Auditorium at Los Alamos High School.
Wiens repeats his talk on:
- May 9 at the New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science, 1801 Mountain Road N.W., Albuquerque
- May 14 in the James A. Little Theater of the New Mexico School for the Deaf, 1060 Cerrillos Road, Santa Fe
- May 16 in the Taoseño Room of the Taos Convention Center, 120 Civic Plaza Drive in Taos.
All the talks begin at 7 p.m. and are free and open to the public. After the talks, Wiens will sign copies of his book "Red Rover: Inside the Story of Robotic Space Exploration, from Genesis to the Mars Rover Curiosity."

1. Couchbase Memory Allocator
Description: Couchbase currently uses the "the system allocator" to allocate continuous memory chunks and tcmalloc on certain supported platforms. This works well for allocating a lot of variable sized objects but not very well with large objects. Internally, we don't need continuous memory allocations so this task is about replacing the use of the system allocator with a "block allocator" and enhancing tcmalloc to work in such scenarios.
Expected results: After this project is completed, Couchbase's memory allocator should be a block allocator.
Knowledge : C++
Difficulty : Hard
2. Add data structure support in Couchbase
Description: Application use different data structures for different functions. For example, queues can be implemented using lists and state can be stored using hash signatures. In this project, you'll extend Couchbase to support advanced data structures such as Lists, Sets, Sorted Sets and Hashes. These data structures need to be in-memory and persisted on disk.
Expected results: After this project is completed, application should be able to store different data structures in Couchbase.
Knowledge : C/C++ and updates to Couchbase client (Java, .Net, C/C++)
Difficulty : Medium
3. In-Memory compression technique for Couchbase
Description: Couchbase currently stores keys, metadata and potentially document contents in memory. This project involves coming up with efficient technique for compressing objects stored in memory.
Expected results: After this project is completed, data in-memory should be compressed efficiently.
Knowledge : C/C++
Difficulty : Medium
4. Integrate Google Breakpad
Description: Couchbase relies on coredumps being available on the system in order to gather crash information back to engineering. In some deployments, users prefer to not have this enabled since it takes for instance a fair amount of time to dump core of a binary with a 64GB memory footprint, and a fair amount of diskspace. In these circumstances it would be better to gather some simple diagnostics instead of just the simple "the program crashed".
The goal of this project is to integrate Google Breakpad into the various components of Couchbase, and make it configurable to enable it.
Expected results: All components of Couchbase may be configured to use Google Breakpad (including documentation on how to enable/disable this), and the crash information is submitted as part of the generated diagnostic sent back from Couchbase.
Knowledge: C/C++ and build systems
Difficulty : Easy
5. CBFS Blob Chunking
Description: CBFS (a.k.a Couchbase Large Object Store) is built on top of Couchbase Server.
File content in CBFS is represented as a single sequence of bits. Large files require large blobs to move around during replication. Small changes to large blobs require full duplication of the common parts. Simple block-based chunking will make it a lot easier to move bits around and make appends (for example) cheaper.
Expected results: cbfs has file -> [blob, ...] instead of file -> blob
Knowledge: The student should be comfortable working in the GO programming language.
Difficulty : Medium
6. Couchbase Drupal Adapter
Description: Write an adapter to run the drupal platform on Couchbase.
Expected results: After this project is completed, Couchbase should be the primary backend platform for Drupal.
Knowledge: PHP
Difficulty: Medium
7. Mobile Application on Couchbase
Description: Over the summer, you'll get a chance to team up with a member of the Couchbase mobile team to come up with a multidata driven mobile application built using Couchbase Lite.
Expected results: An application that uses Couchbase Lite for storage and sync. Potential applications include (but not limited to):
* Turn based word game
* Photo Sharing
* Wiki Editor
* Geo-enabled life-logging apps
* Shopping List
* Links share / bookmarks / comments
Knowledge: You should be comfortable with iOS or Android UI programming, and interested to learn about NoSQL databases and cloud API's
Difficulty: Medium
8. Couchbase Worker Queue
Description: An important part of a distributed application is a means of asynchronously processing work. Many users have attempted to create their own work queues, but often in problematic ways. By providing this as a service, users can build reliable, scalable applications significantly faster.
Expected results: Design a well thought about API on the wire for doing work management. Modify a client of your choice to implement this.
Knowledge: Any programming language.
Difficulty : Medium
9. Couchbase Big Data Testing
Description: Testing large volumes of data for correctness is a challenging tasks. Here are a few options you can think of - (1) sampling smaller datasets and testing the validity, (2) building indexes on existing smaller datasets and verifying the data after the tests are run, (3) tracing a smaller dataset injected from start and end of test, monitoring it, (4) compressing/hashing data and compare hash values at end of large scale testing, and (5) identifying similar patterns in data and identifying outliers. The challenge here is having deterministic and predictable measures from this large volume of data with random sampling.
Expected results: Create measures/tools for finite and deterministic large data tests.
Knowledge: Any programming language.
Difficulty : Medium
10. DataMapper Adapter for Couchbase's Ruby Programming Language
Description: Datamapper is a good ORM framework. Currently it supports plenty of storage types but does not have one for Couchbase.
Expected results: Provide rubygem which will implement Couchbase adapter for datamapper allowing people to integrate it more smoothly into their applications.
Additional resources:
[1]: https://github.com/couchbase/couchbase-ruby-client
Couchbase ruby client, which implements the protocol and networking. And also provides lower-level API to Couchbase server
[2]: https://github.com/couchbase/couchbase-ruby-model
Standalone experimental implementation of ORM
Knowledge: Good knowledge of the ruby programming language. Ability to build good API's.
Difficulty : Medium

AIC Art, Essay, and Film Contests
The American Islamic Congress is proud to present annual contests to engage the minds and talents of youth in the U.S. and abroad. Click on the contests below for more information about each.
The "American-Muslim Life" Art contest. What does it mean to be Muslim in America? A single definition does not exist, while media headlines, family expectations, stereotypes, and attitutes from overseas all contribute to shaping different perceptions. This contest explores the insights and visions of young people about what it means to be Muslim in America today. Whether you consider yourself Muslim, or come from a Muslim background, we want your perspective on these issues. You don't have to be an artist or an expert – just be yourself (anonymous entries accepted)
For more information, click here.
The "Dream Deferred" Essay Contest on Civil Rights in the Middle East
Launched in 2005, this annual contest inspires young thinkers to share their dream deferred for the Middle East civil rights movement. With $10,000 in awards as well as 50 book prizes, the contest provides incentive for young Middle Easterners to express liberal ideas – and at the same time serves as a recruiting mechanism to identify emerging leaders. Indeed, past contest winners have gone on to play important roles in the "Arab Spring" and other grassroots efforts for individual rights. Outstanding essays from the first five years of the contest are collected in the anthology "Arab Spring Dreams" (Palgrave-Macmillan), featuring a foreword by Gloria Steinem and an afterword by Nobel Leaurate Lech Walesa.
For more information, please visit: http://www.hamsaweb.org/essay/ (French, Arabic, Farsi)
"From the Eyes to the Heart" Film Contest
A polite Arabic expression of thanks translates literally as "I show my appreciation by focusing my eyes upon you." The phrase reflects a classic Middle Eastern concept that truths of the heart can be expressed by the focus of one's eyes – and conversely that the eyes are the gateway to the heart. This nexus between sight and sincerity inspires this annual contest, which encourages young Middle Easterners to investigate key aspects of moral character through the creation of short films. Some viral videos have made a profound impact on young Middle Easterners' perceptions of character – but these are suicide bombers' glorifications of hatred and "martyrdom." By offering $20,000 in prizes and film festival venues, the contest cultivates a new brand of short films that deepen appreciation of humility, curiosity, entrepreneurialism, future-mindedness, and diligence.

Kingsford tennis 11-0
ESCANABA – Kingsford continued its mastery over opposing girls' tennis teams Thursday, handing the Escanaba Eskymos an 8-0 loss.
The victory enabled the Flivvers to improve to 11-0 in dual meets this season.
Some matches were competitive, however, especially No. 2 doubles in which Ali VanPembrook and Jadyn Jennings outlasted Esky's Audrey Wilson and Breanna Dault 5-7, 7-5, 6-4.
"That was an important match for seeding purposes heading into the (Great Northern) conference meet," said Kingsford coach Mark Shanks. "That was obviously the match of the day."
Wilson and Dault led 3-2 in the final set. The Flivvers, however, tied the count when a return by Dault sailed out of bounds, then gained a 4-3 lead on a double fault.
Esky pulled even at 4 on a double fault. But VanPembrook and Jennings then put the finishing touches on their victory just as rain began to move into the area.
"We've improved in some flights," said Esky coach Dennis Lueneburg. "What I like about our girls is they're always trying to compete as hard as they can. Sometimes their frustration shows. Competing like this is new to some of our girls. What they have to understand is they sometimes need to have short memories. They also need to understand how to let the game open up to them, which you can only get through more court time and hitting a ton of balls."
Wilson and Dault led 3-0 in the second set, but were unable to keep the upper hand.
"They (Wilson-Dault) brought their A game," said Lueneburg. "Only, they had some line issues and it bothered them. They were sad when they lost the last set. I'm actually glad when the girls get a little upset when they lose. But after about a half-hour, they should get over it. Win or lose, you should never walk off the court totally satisfied because you can always do better."
The remaining doubles matches were also competitive. Anna Shanks-Kate Lamy topped Olivia Berquist-Shelby Gregoire 6-2, 7-5 in No. 1. Megan VanPembrook-Taylor Jacobson defeated Olivia LaForest-Emily LaFave 7-5, 7-5 at No. 3 and Abby Johnson-Kelsey Bennett beat Paige Lancour-Mary Houle 7-6, 6-3 in No. 4.
"I know 8-0 makes this look like a blowout, but it really wasn't," said coach Shanks. "Escanaba has really improved from the first time we played them (in a 7-1 victory at Kingsford on Sept. 4). They have some good players."
Lueneburg had similar thoughts on that issue.
"I'm happy with our scores compared to the last time we played them," he said. "We just played better today. Kingsford has a lot of kids who've been playing a while and they're good kids."
No. 1 singles was also reasonably competitive where Kingsford senior Hannah Tresedder took a 6-3, 6-3 decision from Johanna Snowden and this cloudy and windy day.
"It was a good match," said Tresedder, who hopes to play tennis in college. "She's a good player. I enjoy playing her. It took a while to get used to the wind. It's actually easier playing into the wind because you can hit the ball harder. When you're playing with the wind on your back, it tends to carry the ball further than you want."
The Flivvers are idle until Wednesday when they host the GNC meet. They also host the Upper Peninsula Division 1 Finals Oct. 2.
"It will be nice to be home for the GNCs and U.P. Finals because we're used to the courts," said Tresedder. "We also don't have to get up as early and ride the bus."
The summary:
No. 1 – Tresedder, K, def. Snowden, 6-3, 6-3; No. 2 – Walters, K, def. Burch, 6-3, 6-1; No. 3 – Bianco, K, def. VanPortfliet, 6-0, 6-2; No. 4 – Hicks, K, def. Beversluis, 6-0, 6-1.
No. 1 – Shanks-Lamy, K, def. Berquist-Gregorie, 6-2, 7-5; No. 2 – A. VanPembrook-Jennings, K, def. Wilson-Dault, 5-7, 7-5, 6-4; No. 3 – M. VanPembrook-Jacobson, K, def. LaForest-LaFave, 7-5, 7-5; No. 4 – Johnson-Bennett, K, def. Lancour-Houle, 7-6, 6-3.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (194 votes).
In short: Far hillier than reviews said not PB potential for me In full: Good organisation ..nice to finish on grass rather than concrete .. found the runners mainly club runners than any 10k I have done previously and not very friendly.. too interested in themselves . Expected hills but the one between 4/5 and near the finish real killer .wont be doing this again though beofre anybody says anything back ..i like a challenge and after taking up running only 4 years ago and taking 61 mins can now do a 10k in 50 mins and that was the percy pud.Date of review: January 31, 2010
In short: 3rd race and glad I made the effort.Date of review: November 24, 2009
In full: A large field of very good runers always guaranteed here. More ups than downs, so not really a PB course. Excellent organisation. The t-shirt seems to have divided people this year, but it made me smile & reminds you of those HILLS!! Prize structure is excellent...for those who are nifty enough on their pins...but pace is fast. More races should follow Barnsley's example with prizes. It keeps us regulars coming back!Just two gripes. The fellow announcing the winners at the end spoke too quickly & not clearly enough for anyone to hear properly unless you were stood right next to him looking at the results sheet! & lastly, chip times need to be included on the results sheets which are posted out for 50p.Date of review: November 22, 2009
In short: Defineately need Portaloo's for next timeDate of review: November 19, 2009
In short: Love this course - the hills, the mixture of people and the weather was perfect too!Date of review: November 19, 2009
In short: 2nd year doing this one, annual runDate of review: November 19, 2009
In short: Enjoyed the race as it was a pb by about a minute there was a few challenging hills but nothing to fierce.overall it was well worth travelling from beverley for this well organised eventDate of review: November 17, 2009
In short: Comfortable if you know whats coming and can planIn full: The first time I did this, the hills between mile 4 and 6 and especially thr final climb were a bit dispiriting but being able to anticipate them this year made it a bit easier to plan for. Still very tough thoughDate of review: November 16, 2009
In short: Big hill at the end, justifies the slogan on the T shirt which my husband loves. Date of review: November 16, 2009
In short: Fairly hilly course but enjoyable .In full: Portaloos next year please! Free massage was most welcome. Muddy finish was not.Date of review: November 16, 2009

OSU royalty ... or British royalty?
The Columbus Dispatch - October 01, 2012 02:11 PM
43 YEARS AGO: Ohio State University Homecoming Queen Joan Kulp accepts her trophy and thanks the crowd of 86,576 at Ohio Stadium. "Miss Kulp's smile sums up the mood of the day," The Dispatch reported. "... a beautiful, sun-drenched homecoming and a 41-0 victory over Illinois for the first-in-the-nation Buckeyes."
* * *
When I was looking through our archival photos of the 1969 Homecoming at Ohio State, I saw a familiar royal smile that made me pause.
Then I realized that the OSU Queen that year, Joan Kulp, looked a lot like Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge -- also known as Kate Middleton -- does today!
Joan Leslie Kulp was a 19-year-old sophomore majoring in Education and a member of the Rho Mates of Alpha Gamma Rho when she was named Ohio State's homecoming queen in October 1969. The news of the announcement was on the front page of The Dispatch.
Ironically, she was from Glencoe, Ill. -- and the Buckeyes were playing Illinois on game day.
Members of her court were Linda Vogel, Kappa Kappa Gamma; Jeanne Philby, Bradley Hall; Marie Gallo, Zeta Tau Alpha; and Mary Beschenbossel, Alpha Xi Delta. Kulp was crowned queen at a homecoming dance on Friday at the Ohio Union. She and her court were crowned in pre-game ceremonies.
Ohio State was back in undisputed first place in the Big 10 after the game, a 41-0 thrashing of its opponent. It was the 19th in a Buckeyes winning streak that spanned three seasons.
* * *
OSU Homecoming 2012 events run this week (Oct. 1-6) with the football game this Saturday night (8:00 p.m.) against the Nebraska Cornhuskers.
Here are the men and women of this year's OSU Homecoming Court.

Boys' Stanton short in garment-dyed chino is rated out of 5 by 21.
Rated 5 out of 5 by toosie from Perfect shorts for summer! My son wears shorts to school everyday of the school year (even when it is cold). These are perfect! They look nice, wash well and are durable.
Date published: 2015-05-20
Rated 5 out of 5 by Pattycakes from MUST HAVE FOR US These shorts last. My son is 3, and I purchased him a some of these Stanton shorts last year with much success. He's small, so the fact that they run small helps us. I like the colors. I like the quality. They are durable (and he tests their durability every day). They hold up in the wash (and even hold up through the many stain removal treatments we put them through). I would have spent twice as much buying and replacing other shorts. We're already stocking up for this summer.

Rated 5 out of 5 by emilydc from Standard shorts in my kids' closets I buy these for each of my boys (5 and 8 yrs old) in a wide array of colors each summer. They are durable, comfortable and the color stays true after long days at camp and through the wash. My boys are very slim and these fit well even after cinching tight the adjustment straps inside. Great colors, preppy and clean but casual and cute.

Today, as Christians enter the six-week period of repentance and self-denial that leads to Easter, some are gearing up for one of their biggest projects of the year: the Lenten fish fry.
The tradition helps out Roman Catholics who abstain from eating meat on Fridays during Lent. Over the years, many fish fries also have grown into community events requiring large staffs of volunteers and drawing people of various faith traditions.
You might find beer, raffles, music or children's crafts. And the gatherings can make thousands of dollars to benefit the host parishes.
They are offered at dozens of churches throughout the Roman Catholic Diocese of Columbus, mostly sponsored by local councils of the Knights of Columbus men's service group. Menus might include french fries, macaroni and cheese and pizza (hold the pepperoni), as well as fish. And there are lots of homemade desserts.
Several fish fries in central Ohio call themselves the "best" in town.
The website www.bestfishfry.com advertises the fish fry at St. Joan of Arc Catholic Church in Powell, and Knights of Columbus leader John Page said the event, along with the church's summer festival, is "the highlight of the year for the community in terms of bringing people together."
At Church of the Resurrection in New Albany, co-organizer Sean Morrisey said the menu makes him feel as though he helps run a restaurant for six weeks. The operation brings in about
500 diners a night and about $8,000 in profit for the local Knights of Columbus.
St. Michael in Worthington touts a drive-thru service, and Chairman Scott Mergenthaler said it accounts for about 40 percent of the 800 or so meals sold each night.
At St. Margaret of Cortona in Marble Cliff, the fish batter contains a secret ingredient that organizers never write down, said Larry Pishitelli, who has headed the event since it was founded in 1999.
Fish-fry organizers say that some of the gatherings have prompted visitors to join parishes or attracted new members for the Knights of Columbus.
Not eating meat is a way for members of the Catholic Church to participate in a communal fast and share a moment of grace, said the Rev. Thomas Blau, chaplain at Ohio Dominican University.
But he noted that the gatherings, and the restaurants that serve fish on Fridays, offer another advantage by drawing people from beyond the Catholic community.
"It's a little echo of the Catholic Church influencing the rest of society," Blau said. "That's not a bad thing at all. We need to see little glimmers of it, that it is possible, and I think the fish fry does it."

Less than a month into the New Year and the e-retailer and marketplace announces plans for three additional U.S. fulfillment centers.
Amazon may be readying for a tablet war
Three more Kindle tablets could spell trouble for Apple.
There are new reports, based on information coming from Taiwanese electronics manufacturers, that Amazon.com Inc. may be building three new Kindle tablets that would debut later this year. They would compliment Amazon's breakout first tablet, the Kindle Fire. Amazon reports it has sold millions of Kindle Fire tablets.
The device is the first real competitor to Apple Inc.'s market-dominating iPad. Like Apple, Amazon.com has created a mobile ecosystem around its tablet. The Fire comes connected to a user's Amazon account and, with a few taps, can buy a nearly endless supply of digital content from Amazon. The Kindle Fire and the iPad are designed for media consumption, and they come enmeshed in vast media empires.
This is where other tablet manufacturers have failed. None of their devices have come with a world all their own. And none of them have had retail and m-commerce powerhouses like Apple and Amazon behind them.
I believe three new Kindle tablets could score a direct hit on Apple because they would offer different sizes and prices and would live in the successful Amazon ecosystem. Reports say that one of the new Amazon tablets will have a high-resolution screen nearly nine inches in size. That comes very close to the iPad's 9.7-inch screen. If anyone can give Apple a run for its money, it's Amazon. And if reports are true, Amazon plans to do just that.
Just this morning I was talking with the director of marketing at e-retailer Gilt Groupe. He passed along a surprise: The company has built a Kindle Fire app. That's amazing news, as few retailers, so far, have focused on the Fire. All attention is on the iPad. But that soon may change if Amazon floods the market in 2012 with a load of new tablets.
Keep your eye on the Kindle Fire. It's become very popular. And keep your ear to the ground for rumblings of new tablets from Amazon. Just like Apple, it seems like anything Amazon touches turns to gold. So be prepared for a tablet war—and be ready to build two tablet apps, not just one.

What does one say when they are in total awe? Early in the days of Poser... they were Awesome.... now.... Words fail me. No one matches their level of artistic and technical vision. In the olden days the phrase "The Genuine Article" was used when something was of the highest standards. AlfaseeD is that Genuine Article as far as our business goes. I am proud to call them friends and am personally humbled every time they release a package with us. A & E... can't wait to see what you are cooking up for us this year. I am all strapped in and ready for my mind to be blown! All my Love and Admiration.
Congratulations! Totally deserved award! Very awesome to have them as part of the Daz/Poser community and hopefully in 2013 we will see them in PRISON!! Again congratulations to a most deserving pair with an incredible imagination, artistic abilities, vision and workflow! Thank you for all the years of great art and inspiration! Told you RDNA was your house!!!
lowreg what an awesome comment......Thank you.
Eric's comment also brought back memories of the very first "As Shanim" free product. Right out of the gate it was like......mind blowing.
Alfa and Seed you are just shining stars in so many ways, and getting to know you as the people that you are, was one of the best experiences I've had. Your support of our site "The little engine that could", defines the reality of DNA for us.
Our team, the entire DNA crew of moderators, admin, creators, friends and members, are unique, so thanks for putting the "U" in that for us, and letting us slap on an exclamation point at the end of that.
Now, this is true. There is so many wonderful vendors in the marketplaces, but you can always reconise AS work. Also from the client point of view, no matter what you buy it is always more than you expected. Not only beuatifly crafted, with great detail, but also the items have so many possibilities.
And to this they are so nice I do "bother" them sometimes on DeviantArt, and never was ignored. Thank you for that AlfSeed
And wish you great and prosperous 2013
To me, the genius of AlfaSeed has always been that you can combine pieces from 3 different outfits and come up with a unique look that still has a certain harmony to it. Even though I do very little 3D work anymore, every new release from AS ends up in my cart for that "someday" when I'm going to get back to the hobby.
Very much a well deserved honor for two of the best content artists in any marketplace.
I've really just "discovered" AS. Everyone knows who they are, of course, but for some reason, one of their outfits caught my eye over the holidays -- during the sale -- and I got it. Now, I'm hooked. You guys really do set high standards. Your modeling, morphs, texturing, and almost uncanny ability to anticipate user needs when using your stuff is just...amazing. If I wore a hat, I'd take it off to you two, but all I can do is like you on Facebook and buy your outfits. :-) So keep that fantastic merchandise coming, and I'll keep saving my dollars! BTW, I really like the Desir hair.
P.S. And I completely forgot to congratulate you for being recognized for your talent and hard work. So, congratulations!!!
First of all this was utterly unexpected so, thanks very much for the honor!
We're happy and proud to be at RuntimeDNA, and to be considered so representative. There's no other place in the Poserdome where you can find people so dedicated, that's true for the admins, the whole team and the vendors.
What we like is that DNA isn't a place for just hugs and kisses, most importantly it's a place where you can seek advice, suggestions and confrontation.
This is very important for an artist, to feel appreciated and supported, to feel listened and to know they can ask fellow creators for advice.
Syyd, Eric and Colm have created a place where artist feel welcome and where they can easily learn from their peers, ask fellow vendors when they have a doubt how to do something and so on.
There's a lot of talent at DNA and we're happy to be part of this wild bunch.
As for the new year, we have, as always, tens of projects, old and new. We'll be bringing back some "classics", that represent our history as content creators, pieces that Colm, Syyd and Eric certainly remember very well.
Alice/Yly will also come later this month with many interesting features and we'll try to bring back beloved freebies as well.
If we manage to achieve a "normal" life, maybe we'll also branch our and create a complete videogame!
Luckily the DNA guys manage to keep up with us (sometimes it's no easy task) and they're as supportive as one can imagine, thanks, thanks a lot from the both of us!!!
p.s.: and of course thanks to all the customers/supporters that share our visions, enjoy our creation and feed our creativity !
You folks are amazing in your skill, ability, and creativity.
You always inspire me, and I can only say thank you, and may you have many more decades of fulfillment in all you do.
Since getting into making pictures in Poser i`ve brought a lot of stuff for my runtimes, AlfaseeD`s items all are right up on the top of my favorite items, each one has huge detail and love put into it, and are always easy to work with and adapt to what is required.
I eagerly await every new release from them and whenever i`ve commented or messaged them about anything i`ve always had a reply.
They without doubt deserve the award and i`m looking forward to seeing all the magic they create in 2013.
Well deserved and the most inspiring products out there!
Congratulations to the both of you!
How wrapped up in class do I need to be, to miss an article of this awesomeness??! Kudos, on a VERY well deserved award!!! Your skill with modeling, with texturing, and everything that goes into creating 3D content is nothing short of an inspiration. Whenever I want to make something, I ask myself: What would AlfaseeD do? You truly set the bar high and, with every new thing you create, it only reaches greater heights. May you always fly in in warm and sunny skies, with the wind at your back and the fires of creativity ever taking you to new and wonderful horizons.
Thank you so much for sharing the fruits of your artistry with us!!!
You guys are truely twisted! But that must be what it takes to create the amazing products that you do. Not only is each piece a masterpiece but all of your creations can interchange parts. Every time I purchase your products I feel like I just got a new lego block set. The added and on-going value is incredible. I don't think the two of you realize the impact you have on everyone you touch through your work.
Congratulations, best of luck in the future and thank you for your generosity.
How can I top what everyone else has said so well? I can't of course, and can only add my sincerest thank you's for your outstanding work and products. They transport us into a magical world of color, texture and long limbs glowing with unexpected strength and the ancient old pull between sexes. You are topmost in my list of artists who inspire me to work harder, take unexpected paths of creation and always strive to travel down roads of new adventure. Thank you for being you and sharing your beautiful world and products with us. Onward into the awesome worlds of AlphaseeD in 2013!
I honestly cannot think of folks more deserving of accolades within the digital scene. I have been working with your creations almost as long as I have been working with Poser now. Let's skip how long it has been... *cough* Congrats to you for getting this award, I look forward to what the future holds in the way of AlfaseeD Products.

I should also say that...things were just spiraling and exploding for everyone...in The Beatles and the in the world, at that time. It was a period of great acceleration, and rapid growth overall.
Things happened as they did, and The Beatles made great albums, they had great George Harrison songs on them...even if they were a bit light of the potential full load in this area .
And... George got to have a monster coming out party...maybe the most monster coming out party ever. "All Things Must Pass" was needed to help end The Beatles in a powerful, and severe way. "Plastic Ono Band" did that in a heavy, though very different, way too..."McCartney" much less so; fine album that it is.
And there was just so much material flowing through The Beatles in the post-LSD awakened period...they were all producing at a pretty furious rate. Faster than they could keep up with as it was...and that is because they were growing apart and the end that was approaching was beginning to encroach in on them ever more, as the past that had thrown them together so tightly was receding and unraveling. This change meant working together wasn't as easy, and with the girth of songs to handle it was just yet another weight on a back that was bowing towards the eventual break. I think Harrison role in the band tells a whole lot about what was going on, and how it went on. But what a ride it was. Blessings!

Nice summary, Little Lamb. Definitely his "next step" after ELECTRIC ARGUMENTS.
Can't make up my mind on "On My Way To Work." At times, I like it. Or large sections of it. Then, there are times I think it is dreary and repetitive with that assembly line sounding percussion.
However, as I think I may have mentioned in my review (all those days ago), that assembly line sound might be INTENTIONAL, as part of the atmosphere of, you know, going to WORK. And, it can actually sound hypnotic when one is in the right frame of mind. Or wrong frame of mind. Or some kind of frame of mind.
And, then, I start reading probably way too much into it, thinking Paul is trying to write about how our humdrum, every day lives clash with our dreams, and our questions on what it's all about. As in, "in years to come/they may discover/what the air we breathe and the life we lead are all about/but, it won't be soon enough for me."
Of course, then I think, nah...it's just a pop song. It's NOT THAT DEEP!
I'm still on the fence...
