Ghost Llama Super Special!
Thursday, July 22, 2010
Since nothing too exciting has happened today, I (Lume) have a special delivery of ghost llama goodness! Enjoy the llamaness, dear people:

Dreams, Dreams, Dreams...And Chuck
Friday, July 16, 2010
Lume: LLAMAS AND BRAIN JUICCCE!
Dreams: KOALAS AND LIVER BILE!
Lume: BP OIL VS. CHUCK NORRIS!
Dreams: How would he win against the oil? o.o
Lume: It's the oil company. He will block the spillage and reign justice on their souls! (AKA, kick their asses)
Dreams: I think he should just kick the pipe shut. That would solve everything. *nods*
Lume: True, but less fun. Imagine actually *being* Chuck Norris You're just this regular guy, and suddenly people give you supa powers.
Dreams: I think we should do that. *dramatic look* Just pick someone random and make so many "cool" jokes about them that they gain popularity and... and...
Lume: Duuude...YES
Dreams: *shifty eyes* Andrew? He's a giant, "badass" Mexican.
(On the topic of Ghost Llamas...)
- Lume: We're insane. Who else would even CARE that the llama flashed funny?
- Dreams: The hobo who likes getting seizures?!
- Lume: Welllll...If he actually HAS a computer.
- Dreams: Yeahhh..
- Lume: In his cardboard box under the freeway. I think of him as maybe having one of those old TVs constantly set on that static channel
- Dreams:"Oh my God... THAT DOT! *points* It.. it wasn't there last time...! THEY ARE HERE! OH GREAT ALIEN OVERLORDS, WHAT DO YOU COMMAND?!"
"...I SHALL OBEY!" - Lume:ROFL What is that from?
- Dreams: My mind. 88DD
- Lume:My llama! That. Was. BRILLIANT!
Later that day...
- Dreams: DUDE-- off topic, but I SWEAR the TV just yelled, "TOILET RAPE".
- Lume:Maybe a politician from like, Maine. OMG WHAT? Toilet...rape..HOW THE HELLS BELLS DOES THAT EVEN...?*snickers*
- Dreams: I have no idea but I have to pee and I'm terrified.
- Lume:You just scarred me for life from the toilet.
- Dreams: If I don't come back...you know what happened.
5 minutes later...
- Dreams:BACK!!
- Lume:*HUGS YOU* I WILL NEVER TAKE YOU FOR GRANTED AGAIN!
- Dreams:YAYYY!!! *hugs back*
- Lume:*sniffle* What a beautiful mom- SQUIRREL! *head snaps back*
- Dreams:You bitch. D<
- Lume: I ams not, I ams your favorite friendy-friend
- Dreams: Bitch = female dog in this case. ;;D
- Lume:...OH, you're good...*strokes beard* Verrryyy goood
The Attack of the Ghost Llamas
- Hi y'all, this is Lume, and today I have an extra special story about ghost llamas. Now, Dreams and I were just chatting away today, and I posted a little llama smiley. I noticed the background behind it was blinking in a seizure-inducing way, so I said so.
- Dreams was puzzled at this, and sent me a screenshot. On her message, there were no flashes of doom. How strange, you might say.
- So I proceeded to try and send her a screenshot of my view. I got as far as searching 'llama' and then msn crashed. I tried again, and posted another llama. I noticed now that the background flashes of the llama had changed color, due to me logging on and off.
- I was, at the time, and you can understand, quite afraid that I had been cursed by some witch who wanted to make me have a seizure by ghost llamas. So I tried to send another screenshot to Dreams. MSN crashed yet again, and I was more afraid.
- I continued to log on and off, posting llamas each time. and decided to make a llama collage. So here it is for your enjoyment: The Curse of the Ghost Llama!- Part one
- (After a while, I had to stop being annoying to Dreams, so I began to send llamas to Andrew. If this llama fad lasts, I shall post some once a week. Hoorah! ;D)

This is why Vampires can't Exsist
Wednesday, June 9, 2010
- Lume: Okay, so, I got up this morning, and for some reason (don't ask me why) I started thinking about that good old phrase 'Don't bite the hand that feeds you.' And I was kinda rolling it around in my head, and I realized that, quite literally, that doesn't work at ALL for vampires. You know? 'Cause...for the hand to feed them, they HAVE TO BITE IT.
- Kitsune: LMAO.
- Lume: I've been waiting forever to get that out of my system
- Kitsune: *applauds
I'm proud of you. That's actually oddly insightful.
And sort of odd.
And a little ridiculous.
But overall, a witty statement.

- Dreams: I'm not subsidizing any of your shenanigans
- Lume: ...Awww. Why not?
- Dreams: Because I'll have to berate you for them, even if they make your euphoric.
- Lume: My knowledge of shenanigans is indubitable
- Dreams: You must amalgamate with me
- Dreams: *shakes head* I grow weary from these.
- Lume: These words are exuberating. Enthralling.

Expert Picks: Arnold Palmer Invitational
March 20, 2012
PGA TOUR staffEXPERT PICKS
How it works: Our experts from PGATOUR.COM select the player they think will win this week's event. By using a draft process, no two picks can be the same. The player who wins the previous week picks last the following week.

SLEEPER PICKS: Who will surprise at Bay Hill?Expert picks: Arnold Palmer Invitational Expert
Pick order Player selected
SmithsonTIGER WOODS. Very tough week to have the No. 1 pick. Phil is here this week, but he hasn't played Bay Hill particularly well. Even with his WD two weeks ago, it's tough to leave him on the table, no? I sure wish Luke Donald was playing. Mike
McAllisterSERGIO GARCIA. Really wanted to go with Phil Mickelson here, but his track record at Bay Hill has been spotty in his last four starts. Sergio seems on the verge of breaking his four-year drought on TOUR, and he's had six top-10s in 10 career starts in this event. If McAllister had the top pick ... Woods Chris
DunhamHUNTER MAHAN. Five top-25 finishes in as many starts in 2012, Mahan had three in a row at Bay Hill until a shaky weekend derailed him a year ago. The Urban Hunter is hitting 70 percent of fairways and greens, especially helpful on a tough track like Bay Hill. If Dunham had the top pick ... Mahan Lauren
DeasonPHIL MICKELSON. It's true that he hasn't been consistent at Bay Hill in the past, but he's finished in the top 30 in the last two years. Mickelson already has a win and a playoff loss this season -- I like Lefty's chances at Arnie's place. If Deason had the top pick ... Garcia John
SwantekERNIE ELS. There's no doubt that Ernie was stung by his final two holes at the Transitions, but he's a veteran with perspective who understands how well he played all week. He knows how to navigate Bay Hill, having just won there two years ago. If Swantek had the top pick ... Woods Helen
RossJUSTIN ROSE. He's already got a win and a tie for fifth during the Florida Swing. And this week is a home game for Rose, who tied for third a year ago at Bay Hill. Great ball-striker at a course built for great ball-strikers. If Ross had the top pick ... Els Anne
SzekerBUBBA WATSON. Plenty of good news here: 1. Bay Hill is friendly to bombers 2. Bubba's already shown that he can score here (he tied for eighth in 2008), and 3. He's currently one of the hottest players on TOUR, with two top-fives in his last four starts. If Szeker had the top pick ... Woods John
SchwarbBRANDT SNEDEKER. Vanderbilt's basketball team didn't last too long in the NCAAs, but this Commodore has shown staying power this year -- six stroke-play starts, six cuts made including the win at the Farmers Insurance Open. That's what I need in Picks. If Schwarb had the top pick ... Mickelson Amanda
BalionisJIM FURYK. It looks like Furyk's putting is back on track. The Lancaster (Pa.) County native (we Lancastrians have to stick together) also has finished 11th here the last two years, so expect a strong performance from the Maheim Township alum. Go Blue Streaks! If Balionis had the top pick ... Mickelson Brian
WackerWEBB SIMPSON. Seriously, how did Simpson fall this far and into my lap? He has three top-10s this season and a few years ago tied for 11th at Bay Hill. He's also coming off a tie for 10th at the Transitions Championship. If Wacker had the top pick ...

Sealed subwoofer system
Hi Guys
I have been tinkering with some designs with WINISD using the Lambda SB15. I have configured a system with 2 SB15s, sealed that is flat to 30Hz with a drop of 7 dB at 20Hz. How much gain can I anticipate in the room? How much would the response pick up at 20Hz? I love the sound of sealed systems and with all my playing around with different drivers and box sizes, this combo seems to work well as the group delay peaks at 10ms at 25Hz...lower than that everywhere else. The program is predicting sensitivity of 94dB also...which is nice and high. What am I missing? Limits to max SPL? Distortion issues? Power Hungry? what? Lastly, what is good source for 250-350W sub amps? I plan on using electronics for crossover. Thanks! Jim |

Re: Sealed subwoofer system
PS: For 15 inchers, the approximate cone area is 132 in². Multiply that by your one-way excursion, and you have the displacement volume of the Stryke. Volume Displacement For SPL Chart

High power amp for subs
You could try the high power designs by Randy Slone. You can buy his High Power Audio Amplifier Construction Manual and try building some of his designs. He used to sell PCBs of his amps, and even finished kits, on his Website, www.sealelectronics.com. But he appears to have decided to close down this business.
He still writes and answers email from readers, though. I can vouch for the fact that he has infinite patience, going by the number of stupid technical questions he has patiently answered for me. His books include 400W amps (that's 400W/channel if you build a stereo amp), driven by L-MOSFET output stages. And performance for sub-woofers should be absolutely fine, because good transistor amps, even if they exhibit distortion, do so at high frequencies, which become irrelevant for subwoofer apps. In fact, Randy Slone's high power amps are good enough to be used for full-range applications, giving you 0.5% THD at those power levels. Tarun |

Here is a link to a chart of Room Gain. This is an approximation-other charts will differ slightly.
It's all guesswork because of the room and it's modes anyway, but at least you can get an idea. http://www.speakerbuilding.com/content/1020/rge.gif

Here is a page with sub amps at pretty decent prices. Those power ratings are into 4 ohm speakers-they only put out half their power into 8 ohm speakers. Parts Express had other subwoofer amps, some with remote control, for similar prices. so does Madisound at www.madisound.com http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showd..._ID=9388&DID=7 Here is a somewhat more expensive 500 watt, (8 ohms), sub amp. It gives 720 watts into 4 ohms: http://www.adireaudio.com/diy_audio/...iers/hs500.htm

funny i notice that drivers with big Xmax have low sensitivity. that means you are using a lot of power to produce high SPLs.
Ex: Driver with Xmax 27mm sens is 84db, Driver with Xmax 13mm Sens is 89db and Driver with Xmax 9mm Sens is 92db (all these 3 are well known 12" drivers). What you should actually look at is what is max SPL the driver can produce. All things remaining equal, if a driver can produce 100db at 50hz using only 50W it is better than a driver that can produce 100db at 50Hz using 200W. the driver that has a sens of 84db will need to thermally handle 100W to get to 104db but the driver that has a sens of 92db need only handle 10W to get to 102db. Again these are thermal handling capacities and are not directly realted to physical Xmax limitations but it vaguely illustrates what I am trying to say. Does this make sense?

My opinion is that amplifier power is cheap for sub purposes it's
not like you need a Pass Labs X series to run a sub so I don't generaly give much thought to the sensitivity of a sub woofer. Rythmik audio makes a high power plate amp (350W RMS If I am not mistaken) that would work well with the Lam or the Stryke HE or AV series. I think the web site is http://www.rythmikaudio.com/ I have no personal experiance with this company but John Janowitz is working with Brian from Rhythmic and plans to carry the 350W plate amp in the not so distant future. Or the Parts Express 250W Plate Amp or you could always run a Pro amp like something from Crown or QSC. As far as X-Max, X-Sus and X-Mag is concerned. The drivers with the smaller values are most likely higher sensitivity due to a less stiff enclosure, they have far less displacement and travel and do not need the heavy suspension that big excursion drivers require. Low excursion drivers need some seriously large enclosures to produce the same SPL as a large excursion driver will in a much smaller enclosure. Plus they won't reach as low as most large excursion drivers will. I run an AV-12 in a sealed .5Q Enclosure fed 500W RMS and I can bottom it out if I am not careful and that's with 23mm of linear travel and more than 30mm of X-Sus.. Granted I am running that driver in a 14" x 14" x 15" enclosure Read: Small |

Actually, Brett, I think the way it works is this. The magnetic gap working on the voice coil is where the driving power comes from.
Two drivers both have a magnetic gap of 0.25" and equal magnets with equal magnetic power, (flux), in that gap. The driver with a 0.5" voice coil winding will have half it's voice coil in the magnetic gap at any given time. The driver with a 1" voice coil winding will have only one quarter of it's voice coil in the gap at any given time. The 1 inch voice coil driver has greater excursion and air moving ability, but the 0.5" will play louder on the same power input.

Sorry I didn't go into detail about the magnetic gap I was just speaking solely of the suspension. The suspension alone is never the full measure of any driver obviously. It's highly unlikely that a driver with a robust suspension will have a short voice coil as that goes against what it was designed for. That being said, give me the large excursion driver any day, no matter what the sensitivity is.. I don't even consider sensitivity unless I am looking at midrange and tweeters. |

A conceptual rendering of the resort casino proposed by Mohegan Sun and Suffolk Downs for Revere.Credit: Mohegan Sun/Suffolk Downs
Picture a Revere and North Shore with tens of millions of dollars in new and improved roadways, thousands of workers with well-paying jobs and a booming tourism industry.
Now picture, as the Rev. David Martinez put it, a "hell" where the problems of addiction, crime and traffic would continue.
Those were the messages from the sides pushing for and against a proposed casino in Revere in the final hours before the Massachusetts Gaming Commission's expected vote on Tuesday. The vote will decide if a new plan to locate a casino on 42 acres of the Revere side of Suffolk Downs can move forward despite voters in East Boston rejecting an agreement and voters in Revere approving of it.
Martinez, of the Tabernaculo Evangelico in Revere, was joined by other faith leaders from Revere and East Boston on Monday to express their opposition to the new Revere-only project at the racetrack.
"In the community we've got enough already. We've got addiction, we've got crime … Gambling is one more on the list," Martinez said, adding that the jobs the casino would bring wouldn't outweigh the consequences that would also come with the project.
"In the beginning it will look beautiful, but in the end it will look like hell," he said.
Rabbi Joseph Berman of Temple B'nai Israel in Revere said his concerns include traffic and if the potential jobs at the casino would pay a living wage.
"The bigger picture is that the casino would have a negative impact on the community," said Berman. "If you look at a slice of it, it might look good."
Proponents of the casino believe the proposal does look good.
Surrounded by municipal leaders from North Shore communities as well as members of local chambers of commerce, Revere Mayor Dan Rizzo on Monday led the group in speaking about the economic benefits the casino would bring to the region.
"It's the jobs, it's the transportation improvements and it's the economic development opportunities that's going to spur from this," Rizzo said. "Those are the benefits, the local investment that's going to be spent in our local economies, those are the things that excite me."
Rizzo said he expects that Revere would get more than $15 million in payments from the casino. Officials also said that they expect the project would bring 2,500 construction jobs and 4,000 permanent jobs to the city.
Proponents also talked about what Revere would look like if the state gaming commission voted against the casino plan.
Officials from Suffolk Downs had said earlier that the future of racing is in doubt without a gaming development at the facility.
If Suffolk Downs were to close, it would be "devastating," Rizzo said.
"We still have a 36 acre parcel in the middle of our city that's barren. So I shudder to think what could happen over here on another 52 acres in the city of Revere if we're not allowed to go forward with this project," Rizzo said, referring to the Wonderland Greyhound Park that closed in 2010.
Bob Upton, president of the Revere Chamber of Commerce, sees the casino as an opportunity to improve the economy of not only Revere, but the entire North Shore.
"Travel and tourism is a huge segment that's going to be rejuvenated, no question about that," he said. "Depending on what your prospective is you can paint any picture you'd like, but I personally think this is a great opportunity."

for sure need to cam my cobra. i miss the lope of my last 302 so this being my first Cobra whats the best cam to go with? i was thinking comp cams extreme enegry 2. any thoughts and suggestions are much appreciated.
Comp makes an Xtreme Energy that is supposed to be their high end rendition of an E-cam. I believe it is the 351-8 grind. Sounds like an E-cam, but light years better, and it gets along with your ECM better than the alphabet cams.
I'm gunna base my response off of ratio411 because it sounds like he's done the research I'm to lazy to do but If it has a better "breathing" grind than the E303. DEFINITELY go with it. Don't mind JordanB21 though.. Not everyone has money for a whole top end upgrade.. I can't stand asking question or reading forums looking for answers to see "That One Guy" always saying what you should do rather than answer the question at hand. Plus with stock 289 heads w/ work + 11:1 compression, Dual plane intake + 650 dp Holley and stage 1 comp cam. Launches are pretty violent... But yes; Heads and intake would do some work to the power, They are also not a necessity.
ok so heres another question i found a set of afr 185's cheap can i just bolt those on and be good? ive seen a few posts on the forums that i may have to have my piston heads fly cut? i would end up going with a b303 cam for shorter duration so i wouldnt have to do anything for valve relief but the valves on the 185's are bigger so will i end up having to have them fly cut anyway?
Best thing to do would to just clay check it. Bigger valves will cause more chances of interference though. But just to give some what of an answer, the duration isn't what's going to cause piston to valve clearance issues. Because with my e303 (@ valve 282 dur. .498 lift) had less clearance than my comp cam (@valve 304 dur .520 lift.) It's the overlap that does it if i'm correct. Really it comes down to: When did the cam grinder decide the valves would open in relation to the piston movement. That's why it's good to have a degree wheel. When you clay test it; If its to close on the intake side then retarding the cam will give more clearance (Which you'll give up low end power doing that.) And the exact opposite if the exhaust valve is to close. Different heads will most likely change what your pushrod length will be too. I can tell you for sure that you wont be able to just get the heads and a cam and put it together without having to get other things too.
And If your going higher in combustion CCs you might not notice a big difference because you losing compression ratio. Say I went from 58cc heads to 62cc heads. My compression would go from 9.65:1 (58cc) to 9.2:1 (62cc.) So its your call man. I'm not going to be the guy to tell you how to spend your money. But the bigger the cam and higher flowing heads.. Honestly you'll have to match it with higher compression or else you'll lose power.
so how do i go about bringing up the compression. i usually ask advice of a builder in my area and he said with the afr 185's and a b303 cam i should make around 300 to the rear wheels. i actually just paid for the heads and i got 1.6 rockers and head studs with them for 800$ shipped i know it was a good deal i just want to make sure i didnt spend 800$ to see a minimal gain in rwhp
You are probably going to want a better intake manifold/ported manifold as well so you don't choke those heads. To take advantage of the 185s over say 165s I would guess you would have to spin up the motor higher which with that B303 cam, it doesn't sound like you plan on doing. I don't think you are going to make 300 to the rear wheels with that setup. But you should still make more power then stock so don't think of it as a waste of money ;-)

That was my next thought about attacking the problem. I�d prefer being able to enable my desired behaviour with some sort of pragma somewhere and then not have to do anything special in the affected code, though. If I have to do any extra work at all (and if it�s just remembering to instantiate a particular IO class instead of just calling open), I�d rather stick to doing dumb and simple extra work than adding insufficiently magic complexity to the code. Makeshifts last the longest. In reply to Re^2: How do I make the garbage collector throw an exception when it fails to auto-close a filehandle?

Learning the Structure of Deep Sparse Graphical Models
Winner of Best Paper Award
Deep belief networks are a powerful way to model complex probability distributions. However, learning the structure of a belief network, particularly one with hidden units, is difficult. The Indian buffet process has been used as a nonparametric Bayesian prior on the directed structure of a belief network with a single infinitely wide hidden layer. In this paper, we introduce the cascading Indian buffet process (CIBP), which provides a nonparametric prior on the structure of a layered, directed belief network that is unbounded in both depth and width, yet allows tractable inference. We use the CIBP prior with the nonlinear Gaussian belief network so each unit can additionally vary its behavior between discrete and continuous representations. We provide Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithms for inference in these belief networks and explore the structures learned on several image data sets.

I have seen this similar writing in the past this it is strange one can read the message.
ReplyDelete My oldest child (11) would be able to read this message. But my younger school-age children (6&7) would have great difficulty with it. You first have to learn how words are spelled properly BEFORE your brain can start to skip over the letters, thereby increasing your reading speed.

stay tuned for part two, sometime in march. stop by, scavenge a bit.
after the sale we busted out the goose egg. it was a present, but we're thinking maybe there's room for a goose on the urban farm, the way these ladies produce. also, my trader joe's flower find.
goose egg, meet chorizo. get acquainted. sorry you're out of focus, but the chorizo needs some love.
potatoes from last night, you're about to get a makeover.
meet the goose egg and friends.
that's all for now...
someday soon, more focus?
raw food = ick. i miss cooking. i miss tasting ungrassy (and ungassy) food. still we press on, with a couple of modifications: eggs for breakfast and hummus whenever we crave it. (oh, and that whole liberty market pre-opening party. yeah, i cheated with a capital HELL YEAH! last night, and, i'm not gonna lie, it was the best white pizza i've ever eaten. very much worth it. especially the bacon crumbles.) only one of us is holding out 100% for the whole month. it definitely is not me, and i'm probably a little too ok with that.
but, juicing in the morning, afternoon or evening is awesome, and i have found that some sun-brewed chai tea with almond milk and agave syrup satisfies my "i don't even drink coffee but i want a pumpkin latte, dammit" cravings. at least until i overdo it, like the watermelon/kale juice. and for dinner, there's always the old standby of guacamole...on flax "chips". yeah, those are getting old, too. october has been pleasantly breezy and cool, which makes my attitude even worse as i realize i cannot turn on the oven and bake something "tangy and delicious." twenty-one more days. or not.
some shots of the soon-to-be-tilled summer side garden. peace be with you.
to support a roommate and her mom through their decision to go raw, most of us in the house have committed ourselves to eating raw for the month of october.* i wish we were earlier in the year, since cold soups, salads and juices would be more appealing, say, in august at the height of monsoon season, but october around here is pretty warm - we still hit 100 or higher most days, unfortunately. over the next few weeks we will gradually slide into the 90s, then maybe the 80s if we're lucky, then by halloween we might feel like reaching for a jacket to go trick-or-treating. so, this diet will ease us through the last few oven-hot days, and hopefully by november we'll have a laundry list of healthful recipes to combat the holiday season. to be honest, i am going to miss the stove and oven...a lot.
but so far, eleven hours into day one, it's pretty fair going. i've been promoted from "house cook" to "house raw chef," and have been sprouting, soaking and making nut butter and milk for a few days in preparation. it's been very consuming, but that's ok, since i'm still not working. we have a vita-mix blender on loan (grateful for that, though i've already overheated it and had it go into auto-lockdown on me within hours of getting it), and a champion juicer should be on a brown truck making its way to our house this very moment. or, at least, by the end of the week. i borrowed a dehydrator from my mom and already have made potato "chips" and have little individual crusts of almond, date and coconut...pate?...in the dehydrator for our first dessert. we found four raw salads at whole foods for those days when we have to rely on fast food, but i've stocked the top two shelves of our fridge with things we can grab quickly, otherwise i likely would go insane.
i don't want this to turn into a raw food blog, but a couple of things i'm learning are advance preparation and creativity. i'm already tweaking recipes to suit our tastes, and am trying to stay on top of soaking and sprouting so we always will have protein and fresh almond milk (mylk?). anyway, it's going to be an interesting october, for sure.
*full disclosure: a couple of exceptions to our all raw diet include oktoberfest and tour de fat. 'cuz in the girl house, we really like beer.
at the botanical garden after dropping off cori at the airport.
i mean, it'd be nice to have money, a routine and the bit of security that comes with a job, but it's not all bad. sometimes i get to have cheap lunch at pete's with reese and gage. and sometimes he doesn't eat, but instead we watch him chase the pigeons chickens around in his now-filthy socks, throwing french fries at them and screaming "eat, chickens, eat!" sometimes a crunchy piece of fish and a two-year-old are all you need.

rufus and "rooster," the big chicken. so ashamed. (and no cracks about rooster's tail being bigger, jamie. hims can't help it.)
so, jamie...well, let's say i accept being the pot to her kettle. slow and steady vs. high and whiney. wait - unfortunately i'm usually the kettle to her pot. sigh.
i thought that not a lot had been going on, but i was wrong. after i "graduated" in may (yes, sr. lloyd, i now acknowledge the fake-ness of it all), i continued my work study position at asu through july 3. i was released at the end of my allotment, only later to find that "they" had added an extra K to my funding, a little too late. so i've been home for four weeks (four...weeks...), and have reached the end of myself many times over.
the first few days were easy-peasy, with a little bit of sleeping in followed by garden watering, chicken feeding and egg wrangling; a few hours job searching and sending resumes to postings on craigslist, monster, jobbing, careerbuilder, etc; then a few hours of cleaning the kitchen, grocery shopping and cooking dinner most nights. i had an interview the first day of my work-cation, but managed somehow to tell the interviewer that, actually, i went back to school to get out of the mortgage/corporate world. it was hard to mask my relief at not being offered an auditor position, but i was able to feel sufficiently snubbed just the same. (come on, people, i know auditor and editor kind of sound the same, but i'm pretty sure what i applied for was editor.)
the second week came and went like the first, and though i had an infinite amount of free time, i ended up on the couch a lot that week, not doing homework to finish my last class strong, but just sitting there. i think i got through another season of alias that week, lost in the exciting life of sydney bristow and her burgeoning romance with agent vance. my dreams took up a sense of urgency that week, so i have taken a little break from sydney and will try to keep it to two or three episodes per week, rather than per afternoon.
then it all went to hell.
my housemate wendi had already been to new hampshire and back on the first leg of her sabbatical vacation, and was home not quite 24 hours before starting off on The Road Trip. i decided (rather wisely, i thought) that i should not spend time and money on a road trip when i could stay home for free, and hopefully have a job lined up when she got home ten days later. so off she went and it was just joyLynn and me in the house, since we had managed to get cori on a plane to ecuador for her seven-week stint with engineers without borders. i made a free initial training appointment with my gym, got my butt kicked by the nice trainer man then declined his very pricey services since i am broke with no prospects, and came home to a ringing cell phone. "this is air1 calling, and we're just catching up with our listeners to make sure we have current contact information." (well, i haven't "listened" to air1 in about 5 years, more like a stop there from time to time when going through all the stations.) "are you still at [current address]?" yes...though how would they possibly know that? "ok, good. well, is there anything we can pray about for you?" i told her that yes, i am looking for a job and having a terrible time finding anything to apply for, then i started crying and quickly got off the phone. and, at least on the inside, i haven't stopped crying since.
so i made an appointment to see a counselor at school since that week i was stuck in the mire of depression, and also made a stop at jamie's for some wine, couch and jamie at home (funny, huh? jamie dvr's my tv-boyfriend for me) therapy. and after both sessions i feel better, more hopeful. still tired and frustrated, but not so close to the end of the rope. wendi came home just over a week ago and rushed jacy and me off to the biltmore for some swim-up bar time. sushi and martinis at blue wasabi, then chocolate cake from room service lifted our spirits enough to enjoy the super luxurious down-covered beds, where we all stayed until just before check-out time. we had some drama by the pool, with a stolen hat and a bee that marked my head for his target, but it was a nice "other side of town" get-away just the same. and with wendi around, there's little time for tv. we have almost finished a new chicken fence so that we can take back control of the patio and compost pile. and i've come back around to cooking and baking a bit...just need friends to eat the end results since i usually cook enough to feed a small village.
yesterday morning i had my second interview of those four weeks. i think it went well, though that makes me nervous because usually i am offered positions after interviews that suck. but i shall wait and keep applying, and if i am not chosen, well, let's just hope the interviews start stacking up a little more frequently. trader joe's told me to try back in august, so try back i will. in the meantime i am babysitting for home church kids and family, and maintaining my role as housewife by keeping up with the dishes and vacuuming. my last class of undergrad work ends this friday, praises be. below, a little picture gallery of projects and day-to-day happenings. i'll try to blog more and hopefully will have good news of the "i was offered a job" sort soon. very, very soon.
...to be the pioneer woman, though i'd like to live on a farm.
making green chili pork, from random recipes and head. these onions came from our front garden, the last of the six or seven that actually took root and grew.
and so it went, into the crockpot. because what better to do on your day off then procrastinate even more by making dinner? i stopped taking pictures because the only camera i have is on my phone, and it got annoying taking, saving, sending at each step.
and now, "carpenters" on pandora...thumbs down to you, barry manilow.

The newly anointed American cities of the late capitalist moment appear preoccupied with the reconstitution of urban space. More accurately, select parcels of urban America have been reconfigured into multifaceted sport, leisure and tourism environments designed for the purpose of encouraging consumption-oriented capital accumulation. Within this paper, the focus is a critical exploration of the ways in which tangible and intangible forms of heritage have been employed, utilized and exploited within these urban transformations. Through focus on a city emblematic of the processes that have molded downtown cores under US capitalism – Memphis – the paper points to the role of heritage in the reconfiguration of the Memphian 'tourist bubble'. In particular, discussion centers on the often problematic selection of histories and historical elements, forms and practices within the interests of capital space and thus raises a host of localized questions about whose collective memory is being performed in the present, whose aesthetics really count and who benefits. Conclusions address how such urban space is imbued with power relations, that is, how increasingly leisure-oriented spaces can be seen as important sites of social struggle in which dominant power relations can be constructed, contested and reproduced.

Colin James gives Turia Politician of the Year
Colin James writes:
The Maori Party's Mr Harawira also spent taxpayers' money on personal fun, in Paris. Confronted, he reverted to Hone, the abusive teenage protester. For that he earned a grandmother's fierce disapproval.
That gutsy, determined kuia five years ago held off Labour's heavy hitters and earned their fury for what they saw – and see in exchanges as late as last week – as duplicity. She went solo and now has four MPs alongside her. The party's future is far from secure and many National policies are anathema to its voters. But it is in the game and winning points.
In that game it is Tariana Turia who anchors the party. Whacking Mr Harawira quarantined a threat to its important third constituency (after two sorts of Maori): an intrigued and respectful white middle-class that ungrudgingly (so far) concedes the points the party wins.
Mrs Turia is my politician of the year.
Kiwiblog readers also voted Tariana the Minor Party MP of the Year. I can recall the days when she was seen as electoral poison. She has achieved something quite remarkable with her establishment of the Maori Party, as I suspect it will be one of the four parties still existing in 2030.

So apparently Moffat's quote about not making the episode a "fanfest" and "looking to the Future" is the official line for making it an 8th Anniversary Special. If I was Baker I to McGann I'd refuse to take part in any of the 50th Anniversary celebrations that they might be asked to. Moffat casting a brand-new Past Doctor while giving them the Finger really sums the man up perfectly.
I keep seeing comments like this and it is silly. Just because there aren't any returning Doctors from the classic series doesn't mean that the special won't celebrate all of the show's history. There are more ways to celebrate than having returning Doctors, or does fandom lack that kind of imagination?
It's nothing to do with "lack of imagination". It's to do with Respect, something Moffat seems to lack towards the people without whom he wouldn't have a series to be running into the ground through his incompetence. This is the last chance to bring any/all of the Original Series Doctors together to celebrate their contribution. Having paintings of them appear, which seems to be what's going to happen or sticking Tom Baker's scarf on a Guest Star is worse than simply pretending the series didn't exist before 2005.
Sorry, I don't buy that. Just because the story they are choosing to tell doesn't involve the old actors doesn't mean there is any lack of respect for the old series. It just means the story they wish to tell for the anniversary doesn't require them. And you would really prefer they ignore the classic series rather than have other references to it other than the one you prefer? That is childish. Isn't it the quality of the story that is important, not some fan check-list of things that certify that the show is showing the proper amount of respect for the old series? Once again I say, maybe we should wait to see the show before declaring what a disrespectful mess it is? Of course, I'm sure some of those here who have already made up their minds to hate it will hate it no matter what happens.
I don't see having a quality story and bringing the Past Doctors back in some fashion, however briefly, as being mutually exclusive. Sadly that seems to be a concept that the man getting paid hundreds of thousands of pounds to ruin, sorry run the Series can't seem to grasp.
I do sort of agree. I actually like Moffat and his impact on Dr Who, and I know he's a huge, long-time fan of the series. So, this approach (assuming it's correct) really, really puzzles me. It's possible to include a classic Doctor in such a way that it doesn't confuse newer fans. Not all classic Doctors need to appear. So, the notion that it's impossible to effectively include all the classic Doctors is just a red herring. If we get a good story that is well executed, I probably won't be complaining much about the lack of a classic Doctor. But, why not do a good, well-executed story with a classic Doctor? I'm not convinced that Hurt is a new, real Doctor, so I'm not offended by that, yet. However, if it turns out that Moffat is inventing a new Doctor rather than bringing a classic one back, that IS offensive. Mr Awe
Quoted for truth. I'll judge the anniversary special when I see it (and I may judge it harshly) but I'm sure as hell not going to prejudge it based on what it may/may not contain. A good quality episode without the classic doctors is preferable to a disaster with them...of course one way or another some section of fandom will not be happy. Just read some of the comments/critisisms of The Five Doctors... http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/classic/episodeguide/fivedoctors/detail.shtml
^ Again, including a classic Doctor is not mutually exclusive to producing a good story! There are good stories that can be told with a classic Doctor. Most times, it's totally fine to choose to tell a story that doesn't involve any classic Doctor. However, this is the freaking 50th Anniversary. This is the time to specifically choose a story that does use a classic Doctor! Mr Awe
I'd actually say that it's a lack of imagination to not be able to conceive of a good story that effectively uses a classic Doctor in such a way that won't confuse newer viewers. Mr Awe
They're not mutually exclusive, but neither is having a quality story and not having past Doctors return. It would be cool to have some of those actors back, but not having them back doesn't automatically mean the result will be disrespectful crap. Just as having them back wouldn't automatically make it a masterpiece anniversary special.
^ For 99% of the stories, it's totally appropriate to not have any classic Doctors appear. That's as it should be. This is a special occassion so a special story should be choosen that celebrates all of the actors who contributed to the main character!
Regardless of it it turns out to be a good story or not, I'm a little disappointed no classic Doctors are appearing.
I'll admit I'm a bit disappointed, but at the same time just getting to see Tennant's Doc again sounds pretty damn cool. And I don't buy that it's because Moffat has no respect for the past. He probably just thought it would be a lot more fun to watch these two Doctors go on an adventure together, than to have another special with 4 or 5 Doctors talking and bickering endlessly for an hour (which is usually what tends to happen in these things). And as others have said, there's many more ways to pay respect to the history of the show than by just trotting out the original actors. In fact that's probably the least original thing you could do.
There aren't, there are lots of choices, I'm just trying to keep an open mind until I see the damn thing.
Remember, the notion that you'll have 4-5 Doctors if you open it up to classic Doctors is just a red herring. You can include just one in a major capacity. And, the bickering is only present if Moffat writes it that way. Obviously, he can write it to not include the bickering. Including the original actors is the most honest way to celebrate their contributions. But, I agree that Moffat does respect the classic series. That just makes it all the more puzzling to me. Mr Awe
Let's hear some then. Paintings? A scarf on a random character? That's really an equivalent to, you know, seeing the people?
Fans and Moffat have two entirely different meanings for the words "Anniversary Special." For Moffat, an "Anniversary Special" is "a special that airs on the 50th anniversary." For fans, an "Anniversary Special" is "a special that celebrates the 50th anniversary." I'm reminded of something that Miles and Wood wrote in the fifth volume of About Time in regards to "The Five Doctors." They called the episode the equivalent of a comic book crossover or a Star Trek convention. The story was, basically, a thin excuse for bringing all the old faces back. (Now, I should say that I enjoy "The Five Doctors" a great deal, and the story generally works for me.) I suspect that Moffat is treating the special in the same way he approaches the Christmas specials; he has a vague tie to the date, but then goes on and does something else. (I'm not sure what "Wardrobe" and "Snowmen" had to do with Christmas, to be honest. But then, none of RTD's Christmas specials had anything to do with Christmas, either.) So I think Moffat will trot out a bunch of things from the past -- scarves, Daleks, Cybermen, etc. -- for quick cameos, and then he'll get on with just another story about the eleventh Doctor and Clara.
Unfortunately, for me, it seems like it's the end of End of Time all over again. They aren't celebrating 50 years, they are celebrating just the last 8. Trotting out Rose is one thing. Then we get Freema, who is busy updating her Twitter account with pictures on the set of Martha, Mickey, and their son, from the set. What are the odds we'll get Donna*, Amy, and Rory thrown in too, with absolutely no one from the classic series? * I would love to see Donna again, don't get me wrong. But I would much rather have actors/characters from the classic series in the 50th special. Save Donna, Amy and the others for 2015.

malagasy needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 65 designs submitted by 13 freelance designers.
We are a new business. We are licensed agent in charge of distributing Australian Loto (lotery) Products overseas.
Our business mainly focus on distributing loto products and representing French-speaking customers all around the world and most particularly in most of the French-speaking island in the Pacific.
Our target audience are
- French-speaking customers.
- Male and Female aged 25 to 65
We are trying to attract clients who:
1. think and realise we are truly professional in what we do
2. think we also deliver a great service and game atmosphere
1) The logo needs to have something unique. Just some good looking lettering won't be enough. We need an icon or a symbol or something that goes with the lettering and is recognisable.
2) Don't get too playful .
3) Don't get too serious either.
4) Must reproduce in 1-color. We'll use the logo in full color (web, print, etc), but it'll also need to have a 1-color version for other purposes (envelopes)
We want a logo that will be simple, and modern.
It's important to keep in mind that the logo has to send a positive playful image while also send the seriousness and professionalism of the business.
We don't want something too complex, just something that goes straight to the point.
Remember that we distribute AUSTRALIAN LOTERY products OVERSEAS
A good inspiration could be fdjeux.com ... the company in charge of the French loto but we don't want work that will be copycat of existing logos.

I begin with this: Except for CNN, which makes an honest effort to
report real news, cable news in America has let the nation down. If
Joe McCarthy had a reality television show on NBC, I wonder if NBC would
have promoted McCarthy then the same way it promotes Donald TrumpDonald TrumpSocial media users troll GOP, Trump over ObamaCare repeal The Memo: Winners and losers from the battle over health care Trump angry Kushner, Ivanka went skiing during health debate: report MORE and
his campaign for birthers and bigots now?
Cable news in general has turned American democracy into a freak show,
where bigots and nuts receive a free megaphone, where shills and hacks
parade to the cameras to treat the audience like idiots dishing out
spin that many of them don't even believe, where serious issues are not
treated in serious ways while celebrity fluff is force-fed to small
audiences who often turn elsewhere for news and information.
Now here come Al GoreAl GoreOvernight Tech: Trump's tech budget - Cyber gets boost; cuts for NASA climate programs | FTC faces changes under Trump | Trump to meet with Bill Gates Trump's NASA budget cuts earth, climate science programs Obamas sign with agency for speaking gigs MORE, one of the pre-eminent statesmen of our times, recipient of both the Nobel Peace Prize and an Academy Award among many other well-deserved honors.
And here comes Keith Olbermann, the highly rated former MSNBC host, who unveils his new show on Current TV in June, a moment I for one eagerly await.
Olbermann at his best carries the standard of Edward R. Murrow, speaking truth to power with a fearless integrity. Olbermann not at his best is just another cable lefty endlessly reminding viewers which righties he despises.
Here is what is interesting and important about the new Gore-Olbermann venture in cable news:
Olbermann has expressed concern, as I and many others have, about the influence of corporate ownership of news media. Until Gore entered the picture it was impossible to fully quantify the impact of corporate ownership of news.
Now Olbermann's corporate owner will effectively be Al Gore and Gore's company. This is the first time in the history of news when corporate ownership of news will reside in the hands of a statesman and recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize and Academy Award.
For Keith Olbermann, this is beyond the opportunity of a lifetime. Keith will be unchained from even the slightest hint of corporate interference in news. As the U.S. Army says, Keith will have the opportunity to be all that he can be, and news will have the opportunity to be all that it can be, at a moment when more than 70 percent of the nation does not trust television news, according to Gallup.
If Keith raises the standards of cable news the sky is the limit in terms of quality, ratings, credibility and influence.
If Keith essentially repeats his MSNBC show on Current TV, with minor changes, it will simply mean that Current TV and MSNBC will divide MSNBC's current ratings in half, and suggest that the problem never was corporate interference but is rooted in the culture of what is called cable news today.
For Al Gore, the moment will also have lasting meaning because it will visibly define the "Gore brand." I am not sure whether Gore thinks about this, or cares about this, but we will soon learn what happens to cable news when the ownership is not interested in promoting the reality show of a bigot, or becoming an appendage of the Republican Party, but rests in the hands of a Nobel Laureate and Academy Award recipient.
The possibilities are endless if the Current TV mission succeeds at a time when cable news is either distrusted or ignored by most of the nation, when there is a global yearning for serious news and information about the United States and the world, when the new technologies of social networking and inter-active media create enormous opportunity to expand and bring together the universe of news consumers who are not the idiots that many in cable television believe they are.
Will Keith Olbermann unchained from corporate influence lift the standards of cable news and bring new viewers to the table? Will ownership by a Nobel Laureate raise both the quality and commercial clout of cable news? Or will the cable news freak show just continue with one new entrant into a playing field that most Americans do not trust, or watch?
Stay tuned.

Quality is wonderful and I appreciate the great customer service.
This is me. Unplugged.
Simple story, really. I spent several years after graduating college working in the marketing and communication in the non-profit, corporate, and education sectors. In July 2004, I was blessed with my beautiful daughter Lillian. In 2006, we relocated from New Hampshire to Virginia and with that I traded running between board meetings (and the coffee maker) to running between the sewing machine, princess dress-up, back to the sewing machine, to games of freeze tag and tea parties, then back again to the sewing machine. Life couldn't be busier...or better.
As a young child, my Nonny (aka grandma) taught me the sewing basics during our family visits in Wyoming and my mother, also a skilled seamstress and quilter, carried on the lessons with me. and I couldn't feel more blessed with the ability to sew, create, imagine and make it happen. So, combining my greatest passions of family and sewing (ok, I admit it it...I'm a self-professed "fabric-holic") grew my line of products, inspired by my daughter's artistic love of drawing and coloring. She's the "Lil B." of Lil.B.Designs ...and now that she's old enough to understand this, she loves to "offer" her own opinions, suggestions and marketing flair! She collects my remnants for her own projects, and I can see already we have the next sewing apprentice blossoming in our family -- the old adage "it runs in the family" rings true in our clan!
Handcrafting my products is by far my creative outlet (along with DIY home projects, painting and giving new purpose and life to thrift store finds), and Lillian is my constant daily inspiration. It brings me such joy to share my love of sewing and the creative process with her...and to share my products with you. Happy Doodling!

About Javanese
Javanese is a language spoken by people in the central and eastern parts of the island of Java, in Indonesia. It belongs to the Austronesian (Malayo-Polynesian) language family. More than 75,500,000 of people are natives user of Javanese, and in Indonesia it has several regional dialects that have differences in many words and dialect. For example, Javanese in Tegal, a district in Central Java is different from Javanese in Pekalongan, even though both of them are located in the same province. Like for 'hungry', in Javasene in Tegal is 'kencot', while in Javanese in Pekalongan it is 'ngelih'.
In Javanese, there are three levels of languages that we use for conversation. There are Ngoko, Kromo Madya, and Kromo Inggil. According to Javanese culture, the way of speaking to someone younger is different than to someone older. We use Ngoko to talk to our friend and whoever who are younger than us. To talk to somebody whom we respect or to stangers we use Kromo Madya. And, we use Kromo Inggil to talk to our parent and some people in important positions. Kromo Inggil is used as well for some ceremonies in formal situations like wedding parties.

text: Many have complained after seeing the World Cup TV schedule that a significant number of the games are on ESPN2, which does broadcast in HD but most companies don't carry. Comcast has announced they will add ESPN2-HD in "several markets" tomorrow...but they didn't say which ones. So for all the soccer futbol fans out there, you might be in luck...or you might not. If anyone can get ahold of the list of cities or areas where ESPN2-HD will be available or if other carriers will add the channel as well, please let us know in the comments.

The site where twin NASA spacecraft impacted the moon on Monday has been named in honor of the late Sally Ride.
Ebb and Flow, the two spacecraft comprising NASA's Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory (GRAIL) mission, were commanded to descend into low orbit and impact on a mountain near the moon's north pole. Ebb and Flow, which were launched in September 2011 to orbit the moon, were running out of fuel to continue their scientific missions.
"Sally was all about getting the job done, whether it be in exploring space, inspiring the next generation, or helping make the GRAIL mission the resounding success it is today," GRAIL principal investigator Maria Zuber of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge said in a statement. "As we complete our lunar mission, we are proud we can honor Sally Ride's contributions by naming this corner of the moon after her."
"Sally Ride worked tirelessly throughout her life to remind all of us, especially girls, to keep questioning and learning," said Maryland Senator Barbara Mikulski. "Today her passion for making students part of NASA's science is honored by naming the impact site for her."
Ride, the first American woman in space, passed away in July at the age of 61 after losing a prolonged 17-month battle with pancreatic cancer. She also held the distinction of being the youngest American in space and the first lesbian, though she never spoke about her private life in public.
Among those listed as survivors in Ride's obituary was Tam O'Shaughnessy, who became romantically involved with Ride in 1985, just two years after she made history as the first American female in space aboard the NASA space shuttle Challenger.
Last month, Ride was inducted into the GLBT Hall of Fame in Chicago.

In Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) applications, the receiving antennas are usually placed at a relatively higher level. The receiving antenna levels from 3 meters up to rooftop level are considered possible in FWA application. This paper shows the variation of radio propagation path loss at different receiving antenna heights. An radio propagation path loss model based on measurement was developed as a function of distance and receiving antenna's height
