text: Frankfort, KY – A judge says he will rule "in the next few days" on whether to dismiss a lawsuit that public defenders filed against the state. Officials with the Department of Public Advocacy are alleging they've been allotted inadequate funding to handle excessive case loads. Franklin County Circuit Judge Thomas Wingate took no action during a hearing this morning in which the DPA asked for permission to withdraw from cases. Wingate refused to grant the same request last summer. DPA spokesman Jessie Luscher distributed a statement on Friday saying when funding runs out in May that public defenders will "be unable to provide any representation whatsoever in any court."

Nothin' quite like the beach in spring. Here's Evan almost 9 months old now in Malibu...crawling all over, just about ready to walk, talks up a storm with "mama, dada, and gaga", loves "adult" food over boring baby food :), loves to be outside, and loves to be around people. When I think of the word J-O-Y, I think of Evan!

Catching up
I know it's been months since I've posted, so I thought I would put up some current photos of Evan and our family of 3. Our little boy is 4 months old now...don't know where the time goes...and is the happiest and most precious thing ever! I'm not kidding when I say happiest...he is always smiling, loves to laugh, loves to be around people and has quite a voice when he talks! He is such a joy to us and we love our "family life."
Sunday, September 11
Friday, August 12
New Normal
Life has forever changed and we are enjoying our new normal. Evan is so much fun and such an entertainment for us! He is a happy baby, starting to sleep better at night, loves time with his daddy and seems to enjoy being outside. Jared and I are starting to get a rhythm down and it's fun when the 3 of us have time together.
2 weeks old
He likes the swing
Our family of 3

| ATI's R580 has 16 pipelines but 48 Pixel Shader units BACK IN September, ATI told us that you need more per pixel operations then you need textures. Its the ratio that changed over the years, but we dont want to make a history class of this article. It said that it believes that the industry should go that way. Nvidia, on the other hand, believes in different ratios between pixels and textures. We finally confirmed that ATI's upcoming R580 GPU will again have sixteen pipelines only but this time it will have 48 Pixel Shader units. What does that mean? http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=28341

Top 10 Twitter Trends This Month [CHART]
It looks like a match made in heaven — the Royal Wedding and social media. The last such affair, back in 1981, was a TV-centric event, but this time around, spectators were also following along on their so-called second screens. The event broke live streaming records and as we see in the list below, dominated Twitter conversations not only for the week of the event, but for the whole month of April.
Otherwise, this month's list is fairly boring: The Bieb is back. Sports are huge and so are boy bands and holidays (including 4/20.) Perhaps the only big surprise is the appearance by My Chemical Romance, whose fans seemed to have been on a mission to get the band in the top 10. In the end, though, they couldn't beat a Royal Flush.
To see the full list, check out the chart below. Because this is a topical list, hashtag memes and games have been omitted from the chart. The aggregate is based on Twitter's own trending algorithm, and does not necessarily reflect raw tweet volume.
You can check past Twitter trends in our Top Twitter Topics section.

Royal Flush.
The only New Yorker on the team puts down a smooth switch inward heelflip in SF.
I have to give some props to the guys who do the Skim The Fat website. I have no idea if they read this or if they will ever update their site again, but it is a very useful tool to have for tracking down bits of skateboarding history.

Aces High.
After watching Alex Perelson's part in Since Day One a few times, I've been on a Colin kick. There are some definite similarities between the lip tricks that Alex does and what Colin did way back in Questionable. One video reminds me of the other. I need to watch the Chocolate Tour again sometime soon.
For some more older school vert, check out the Chromeball Incident today for Joe Lopes. Classic.

Patrick O'Dell.
I said on Thursday that the next post would be epic. Sorry if you were expecting Andy Roy, Dustin Dollin or somebody along those lines.
Pat used to be a staff writer and photographer for Thrasher. He has since moved onto documenting important figures in skateboard history for Vice Magazine with his great Epicly Later'd series. He also directs the occasional music video.
Are those Vitas?
Dennis McGrath took the photo.
Big Brother - November 1999 Issue 54
Thursday, July 21, 2011
Dave Carnie & Rodney Mullen.
Dave and Rodney break down the anatomy of a freestyle board.
Freestyle boards were usually 7 to 7.5 inches wide and about 28 inches long, if memory serves me correctly. They were very flat with minimal kick in the tail and none in the nose. Nose and tail were roughly equal in length.
One thing they didn't mention was wheel size. Freestyle wheels were usually about 55 mm. This was considered smaller than what was normally thought of as a street wheel at the time, which would have been in the 58 to 62 mm range. A few forward thinking street skaters started riding freestyle wheels in the early 1990s to facilitate more technical tricks.
I've just been picking random things out from Big Brother that were skateboard related for the week. I maybe should have done a week of product reviews, where Carnie's creative writing really shined.
I'm taking tomorrow off from work so there might not be a Friday post. Or there might be. Either way Monday or Friday will be epic.
Rick Kosick took the photo.

Sean Cliver #2.
Cliver survives a trip to Japan with Jeremy Klein and Heath Kirchart.
The number of the beast is happening at the Chromeball Incident today. I had thought of doing something for my 666th post, but lost count along the way and never came up with anything. Looks like I blew it for 900 by using Hawk's famous spin last week.
Big Brother - March 1999 Issue 46
Tuesday, July 19, 2011
Pat Canale.
One of the many things that Big Brother gave us was the jaded video reviews of a Mr. Pat Canale. If something was good he would say so and if something wasn't good, he would say so as well. It's sort of like the internet is today, except Canale manned up and used his real name instead of hiding behind an anonymous tag. Cylde Singleton also deserves credit for keeping video reviews real. This was often a point of contention that Big Brother had with Transworld, as many of their video reviews tended to be way too positive for middle of the road skate flicks.
Big Brother - May 1999 Issue 48
Monday, July 18, 2011
Dave Carnie.
When I've been going through magazines looking for stuff to scan, I never find much I feel like using in Big Brother. I want to use things from Big Brother, but nothing ever looks good. Then it occurred to me that what set the magazine apart from the others was the quality of the writing. You looked forward each month to reading about what zany antics the crew had been up to. This product review is a perfect example of that.
Is that Earl Parker behind the product reviews header?
Note: That's a Darkstar Mako Urabe pro wheel in the middle.
Rick Kosick took the photo.
Big Brother - October 1999 Issue 53
Friday, July 15, 2011
Tony Hawk #2.
Remember the night when skateboarding made ESPN's SportsCenter?
Tony landed the first 900 after trying the trick off and on for a decade at the 1999 X-Games. It should be noted that Danny Way almost made one in the Santa Cruz Speed Wheels video Risk It from 1990.
I miss when wheel companies would put out videos. It's probably not feasible in today's economy.
The only photographer who caught the trick on film was Rob "Whitey" McConnaughy.
Big Brother - October 1999 Issue 53
Thursday, July 14, 2011
Bucky Lasek.
Bucky has been around a long time now. He came up in the glory days of Powell Peralta and even turned pro for them. In the years since he has ridden for Birdhouse, New Deal, Natural and Element. He recently built a gigantic concrete bowl in his backyard that is scary to just look at the pictures of. I can't imagine skating it. Much like Bob Burnquist, Bucky pioneered a lot of switch and technical tricks on vert. He could also skate street and mini ramps. Probably still can.
His first name is Charles.
The new Torey Pudwell video comes free with the new issue of Thrasher. If you hate watching things online like me, this is nice. Torey does some amazing tricks. I think it's fascinating that in a skateboard world where rail riders and huge gap jumpers are the big thing that the two leading candidates thus far for Thrasher's S.O.T.Y. don't skate either of those things and work off refining more pure street skating from the early to mid 1990s. Pudwell carries on with ledge trick evolution from the Plan B/EMB days (and let's throw in the Storm here, too) while Dennis Busenitz progresses the concept of a line. Refer to Tim & Henry's Pack of Lies, the Stereo videos, parts of Girl videos and Jason Dill's effort to bring back pushing in Mosaic among other things. I watched the parts from Pudwell and Busenitz back to back last night before going to bed. One interesting thing I noticed was that I doubt I could name all the tricks that Torey does, but could do that easily for Dennis. Make of that what you will.
Also in the new Thrasher, my friend Matt's Fluke Fanzine gets a good review. Finally, there is a tiny photo of my friend Chip from The Body in the SXSW article. Too bad there's no caption, but he still made the mag since the band was part of Thrasher's concert event.
Dave Swift took the photos.
Transworld - January 1999 Volume 17 Number 1

Peter Hewitt #3.
Peter during the 151 days before becoming an Anti-Hero. 151 was done by Imperial, which included Maple and Dynasty as well.
I finally got my first request from somebody for sponsorship. They wanted to know about sending a link for some footage for the team manager to check out. I'll get right on that as soon as I actually make products or hire a team manager. Please don't hold your breath waiting.
Michael Burnett photographed the sequence.
Thrasher - August 1999 Volume 19 Number 8

Paul Zitzer.
Monday, July 11, 2011
Colin McKay #2.
Alright, back to business.
I noticed that I sort of neglected transitions during my trip through 1998, so I figured I'd start the look back at 1999 with a week of vert.
Colin took street tricks to the ramp as is illustrated by a frontside Caballariel kickflip. He got a lot of coverage in 1999 for both street and vert.
Thrasher - March 1999 Volume 19 Number 3

Keenan Milton #4.
8/4/1974 - 7/5/2001
The decades are flying by.
I know this photo has been on the internet already, but it hasn't been on here yet. It's so perfect.
I'm taking next week off. Enjoy the holiday weekend in both the US and Canada. It's going to be the year before the year 2000 starting on July 11th. I went with a Les Savy Fav reference instead of Prince.

Hi. Has anyone had lingual braces in Western Australia.
That can give me some feed back? And what orthodontist you went too. I'm going to be going to be going to peel orthodontist in mandurah WA next month.
How much were you charged for the lingual hidden braces? Are they really over the top in price compared to the traditional braces????
I look forward too hearing some feedback

East Gate Boulders
About East Gate Boulders:
From the guidebook: "The East gate has always been the ignored little brother of the nearby Gate boudlers." This area is 100 yards East of the Gate Boulders. The undergrowth can be a pain. |
Approach: | Park at 1.1 on right (same parking as for The Swamp) walk across road and up small trail. You can also follow a faint train heading East from the gate Boulders for about 1-2 min. Look for a cluster of about 3 or 4 large boulders that form a small enclosure ("round room") accessed from the South side of the cluster. Most of the problems are here, but others are on nearby rocks in nearly every direction. On a recent visit we found that many of the problems hadn't been climbed in a while and will need to be cleaned again before climbing. There are, however, a few good exceptions, including Round Room -V6 which was clean, solid, and and incredible. |

Ban Thai Restaurant Review: When locals who have visited Thailand seek a remembrance of their adventures, they come to Ban Thai for home-style food that captures the essence of the playful Thai esthetic. The flavors of galangal and coconut milk in the chicken soup called tom kha play tart and sweet on the tongue. And the licorice undertones of holy basil spring to life when matched with hot chilies in the chicken ka prow. Beef larb in its kicky fresh lime juice dressing packs a powerful wallop, while basics like pad thai and panang curry are better than good. Heat lovers will want to request the four-part condiment tray for an arsenal that ranges from tingly to incendiary. The kitchen is happy to vary dishes to suit customers' dietary needs, and provides a generous assortment of choices for vegetarians. A renovation spiffed up the décor, and added a sushi bar. |

The Obama Social Network
Facebook resisted for days before eventually making some efforts to gag those pages and their commenters.
But criticise Obama and some anonymous kid wearing a knitted cap deep in Facebook's bowels will silence such observations in a twinkling. Here is what Facebook has refused to allow:
It is not just governments that believe a gagged populace is a quiet populace.

Thanks for the site Dave. I rarely go on faceache but I just did and (blush) liked it.
Nothing new in Governments shafting their ex soldiers though. Have a look what successive Australian Governments have done to Service Pensions.

Asking the Leftist media to rein in Obama is like asking Beelzebub to rein in Belial.
ReplyDelete Given what we know, the statement on the University website that hosts the video is something less than candid.

Looks like Obama's got everything in place for his final move…
Executive Orders he has issued in the last three and a half years. I found this article in Western Journalism that should frighten all of us. Get out the vote in November folks!!!
A Comprehensive List Of Obama's Worst Executive Orders JUNE 15, 2012 BY _LAURIE ROTH_ (http://www.westernjournalism.
There have been over 900 Executive Orders put forth from Obama, and he is not even through his first term yet. He is creating a martial law 'Disney Land' of control covering everything imaginable. Some of the executive orders he has signed recently have been exposed thanks to 'Friends of Conservative Action Alerts.' They have compiled a choice list of 'Emergency Powers, Martial law executive orders':
Get your headache medication out while you still can without a prescription.
* Executive Order 10990 allows the Government to take over all modes of transportation and control of highways and seaports.
* Executive Order 10995 allows the government to seize and control the communication media.
* Executive Order 10997 allows the government to take over all electrical power, gas, petroleum, fuels, and minerals.
* Executive Order 11000 allows the government to mobilize civilians into work brigades under government supervision.
* Executive Order 11001 allows the government to take over all health education and welfare functions.
* Executive Order 11002 designates the Postmaster General to operate a national registration of all persons.
* Executive Order 11003 allows the government to take over all airports and aircraft, including commercial aircraft.
* Executive Order 11004 allows the Housing and Finance Authority to relocate and establish new locations for populations.
* Executive Order 11005 allows the government to take over railroads, inland waterways, and public storage facilities.
* Executive Order 11049 assigns emergency preparedness function to federal departments and agencies, consolidating 21 operative Executive Orders issues over a fifteen-year period.
* Executive Order 11051 specifies the responsibility of the Office of Emergency Planning and gives authorization to put all Executive s into effect in times of increased international tensions and economic or financial crisis.
* Executive Order 11310 grants authority to the Department of Justice to enforce the plans set out in Executive Orders, to institute Industrial support, to establish judicial and legislative liaison, to control all aliens, to operate penal and correctional institutions, and to advise and assist the President.
* Executive Order 11921 allows the Federal Emergency Preparedness Agency to develop plans to establish control over the mechanisms of production and distribution of energy sources, wages, salaries, credit, and the flow of money in U.S. financial institutions in any undefined national emergency. It also provides that when the president declares a state of emergency, Congress cannot review the action for six months. It is more than clear that Obama is planning for the total control and takeover of America via Martial Law. Food, energy, transportation, work, banking, and health. He has it covered.
While Obama is busy pulling executive orders out of the sky to control everything inside our country, he has been issuing executive orders to force us to submit to international regulations instead of our Constitution.
Sher Zieve exposed this in one of her recent articles. "Damn the U.S. Constitution, damn the American people and damn U.S. sovereignty."
We must send faxes, emails, and make calls to all congressman and demand they stop Obama's perverted, extreme, and Unconstitutional abuse of Executive Orders. It is time to demand our elected leaders start protecting America, our sovereignty, and our Constitution. So far, they seem to be protecting the Obama – Marxist takeover plans peppered with a little U.N. and Islam.

Yeah i bought a new jeep last weekend. i would have gone with something a little more fuel economical but cars ride too low to the ground. (i live in the sticks) plus i figure i can haul stuff with it, women, dead hookers, and general stuff i have accumulated over the years.
its an 08 jeep liberty. i got it for less than invoice and the dealer is throwing in free leather seats.
other than that tire i had to buy this morning so far i like it. (i ran over a nail and it punctured the sidewall, but i bought tire insurance so it wont happen again)

An excellent piece, but let's not be shocked: friends in the right places, who go to bat for their colleagues, might be considered another form of prostitution and will likewise, will go unpunished. In my mind that's why the really smart players resist the opportunity to go into the public eye. They can likely participate in this kind of conduct, but avoid the embarrassment of public discussion. And there's no one to tell the innocent victims like spouses, family members, etc.
I'm not so much a cynic, as a realist. -
Of course, you also need to ask why there was no interest in pursuing charges against David Vitter, the Senator from Louisiana who was also caught patronizing prostitutes. At least Spitzer resigned. Vitter is still serving as a Senator.
Not to mention that a high-profile prosecution against Spitzer might bring some uncomfortable issues to light. For example, why was the DOJ investigating Spitzer in the first place? It was an investigation of Spitzer that lead the DOJ to the prostitution ring, not the other way around. What evidence did they have have that justified such an intensive investigation of a Democratic Governor.
We might also ask why the the Public Integrity team in the Bush DOJ bring four times as many cases against Democrats than they did against Republicans.
Quite frankly, a lot of people are happy to see this thing go away.
Is there anything we can do as citizens to overturn the U.S. Attorney's free pass? It doesn't seem right that those with money can get out of just about anything…

While you and your crew kick in a few bucks to catch the Pacquiao / de la Hoya fight tonight, keep in mind you're witnessing the launch of a new network, Event TV HD. The new high definition version of TVN's linear Pay-Per-View net promises to bring boxing, MMA and wrestling action in crisp 1080i and 5.1 surround. That usually includes All Day Event tickets if you want to see a replay, or themed programs during the week. TVN sells its package to cable, satellite and other providers who then pass the PPV on to you, so when Pacman takes this, remember who was responsible for bringing it to you.

The Battle of Mount Dingjun was fought between the warlords Liu Bei and Cao Cao in 219 during the prelude to the Three Kingdoms period of Chinese history. Liu Bei's victory in the battle marked a major milestone in his Hanzhong Campaign.
The battle[edit]
In 217, Liu Bei led a campaign to attack Hanzhong, which was under the control of Cao Cao. His force met with resistance led by Xiahou Yuan at Yangping Pass (陽平關). The confrontation dragged on for more than a year until one night, Liu Bei set fire to the barbed fence around Xiahou Yuan's camp at the foot of Mount Dingjun. Alarmed by the attack, Xiahou Yuan sent Zhang He to defend the eastern corner of the camp, while he guarded the south. Liu Bei's main force pressed against Zhang He, outmatching the latter. Xiahou Yuan had to dispatch a fraction of his own troops to Zhang He's rescue.
Accompanied by drums, the division led by general Huang Zhong then descended upon Xiahou Yuan's dwindling force. The battle became a rout and Xiahou Yuan and his son Xiahou Rong were both killed in action along with his deputy.
In Romance of the Three Kingdoms[edit]
In chapter 71 of Luo Guanzhong's historical novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Xiahou Yuan had his camp set up on Mount Dingjun, so he could easily see the enemy camp at the bottom of the mountain. Huang Zhong moved his camp nearer and nearer to Xiahou Yuan's camp every few days.
Later, Xiahou Yuan came up with a strategy to lure Huang Zhong and capture him. He sent Xiahou Shang to Huang Zhong's camp, challenging Huang to come out and fight him. However, Chen Shi, Huang Zhong's subordinate, volunteered to fight Xiahou Shang. Xiahou Shang feigned defeat and retreated. Chen Shi would not give up and pursued Xiahou Shang, but fell into an ambush set by Xiahou Yuan and was captured. Xiahou Yuan was not very happy as he had expected to capture Huang Zhong. Xiahou Shang was later captured by Huang Zhong in battle.
Xiahou Yuan decided to release Chen Shi in return for Xiahou Shang, which Huang Zhong agreed. The next day, at the frontline, where the prisoners were exchanged, Huang Zhong fired an arrow at Xiahou Shang and wounded him. Xiahou Yuan was furious and wanted to fight Huang Zhong but was stopped by Zhang He. Xiahou Yuan had no choice but to return to his camp and defend firmly.
At the advice of Fa Zheng, Huang Zhong moved his forces to Mount Tiandang, a nearby mountain with a higher peak. Xiahou Yuan could not tolerate enemy forces having the vantage point, and decided to attack Mount Tiandang. Huang Zhong, however, kept his forces back and did not engage Xiahou Yuan.
Later, Fa Zheng saw that Xiahou Yuan's forces were dispirited. He then signaled Huang Zhong to attack Xiahou Yuan. Xiahou Yuan could not respond in time and was killed by Huang Zhong, who cleaved Xiahou right beneath the shoulders. The victory consolidated Huang Zhong's position as one of the Five Tiger Generals.
When Cao Cao heard of Xiahou Yuan's death, he broke down in tears. Only then did he understand the words of the soothsayer Guan Lu (管辂):
- Three and eight run criss-cross (The year was the twenty-fourth of Jian'an or AD 219);
- A yellow Pig meets a Tiger (It was the month of the Tiger in the year of the Pig);
- South of the halted army (Actually the south of Mount Dingjun (which means a halted army));
- A limb will be lost (Referring to Xiahou Yuan, who was said to be a good, loyal friend and cousin of Cao Cao).
In popular culture[edit]
The battle is also reenacted in Peking opera, based on the novel. It was said that the actor playing Xiahou Yuan would get a red envelope for his performance during the Chinese New Year, since it is considered bad fortune to be "killed" on stage at that time of the year. The first Chinese film ever made, The Battle of Dingjunshan (1905), was a recording of the Peking opera.

Out of all the computing hassles you can face, nothing quite compares to dropping your laptop on a hard floor. Because, typically, that's the end of your laptop.
Or maybe not.
What happened was this: I had my backpack on my kitchen table (it's a "gathering table," and therefore higher than most). I went to slip my laptop into the zippered side pocket as I've done a hundred times, but just at that moment, something distracted me.
Milliseconds later, I heard a terrible thunk. Not realizing I'd missed the pocket, I'd released my grip on the machine, and it went tumbling to the floor. Landed right on its corner, too.
I'm sure you can guess the rest: the casing cracked, the screen splintered. My laptop lay broken, bleeding. Oh, the humanity. I envisioned a difficult data-extraction process and an expensive visit to Amazon or my local computer store for a replacement system.
Except none of that actually happened. When I picked up the unit, I was shocked to discover it looked fine. Like, 100-percent fine. Not a nick or ding or anything on it. And it booted right up, no worse for the wear.
Let me pause right here to note that when it comes to buying computer gear, I'm as cheap as they come. I typically buy the least-expensive hardware I can find, my rationale being that it's usually just as good as the pricier stuff, at least for my needs.
But earlier this year I found a great deal on a Samsung Series 9 ultrabook, one that was too good to pass up. It had exactly the features I wanted--thin, lightweight design, SSD storage, backlit keyboard, etc.--so I splurged.
What never entered my mind was the value of an aluminum chassis, which is what enabled the system to survive its fall. So tough is the Series 9, in fact, that it dented the floor. My Pergo-covered kitchen floor, which has withstood every form of punishment two children can exact, showed a small divot where the laptop landed.
Ultrabook 1, floor 0.
The moral of the story is this: it may cost extra, but a metal laptop is much better at withstanding sudden bursts of gravity than a plastic one. That's something to consider the next time you go shopping.

Russian only grants 30 day visas, and considering the train itself takes about 7 solid days, it doesn't give you a lot of time to do what you wanna do as you make your way along the journey. That combined with the fact that I got side-tracked into a visit to Kazakhstan cut my Russian time down further still. However, the Trans Siberian being the Trans Siberian, I found enough time to fit in some pretty crazy experiences along the way:
Breakfast with the Russian Spetsnaz:
On the Irkutsk to Omsk train, I knew my 2 friends and I were stuck onboard for 2 whole days. We woke up on the second day, a bit groggy after a night on the slim train bed, one of my friends was missing, I assumed he was in the dining cart. I made my way there, and there he was sitting down with 2 of the biggest dudes I've ever seen, heads the size of watermelons and fists twice the size of that.
After them greeting me with non-optional vodka shots and beers (for breakfast, naturally) we tried to talk, although with my non-existent Russian and their nonexistent Russian communication was proving difficult. It transpired that these 2 dudes were part of the Spetsnaz, Russia's most violent, dangerous and trained special forces with quite a dark history.
A quick show of tattoos to prove themselves and some bullet wounds on their arms were enough to convince me. A couple more (equally enforced) breakfast vodkas and beers later, these boys were knocking entire glasses over the dining cart, shouting in Russian to the waitresses in what sounded like less than polite terms. It was getting a tad uncomfortable, and all our requests to not drink anymore were falling on
After the 5th beer hug I was victim to (friendly guys apparently), and countless enforced drink, these guys were ready to collapse thanks to their two empty vodka bottles in the front of them so when they disappeared to the toilet, we scarpered back to our carriage hoping to never see them again. I think i probably dodged a bullet with that one, perhaps literally.
Lunch with the Mafiosas:
In Irkutsk, my first Russian stop, I went scouring the streets for a cheap eatery for lunch. After finding one I sat down, ordered some dumplings and potatoes, and sat in the corner. After about 30 seconds a Russian guy came and spoke to me (by 'spoke' I mean he shouted the 10 words he knew in English, repeatedly), I smiled at him but before he could finish his friendly tirade he had bought 4 beers and pulled up a chair.
Before too long his 2 friends had joined, one young guy who spoke a bit of English and one 40 year Russian version of Tony Soprano. They sat down, 4 more beers, we chatted a bit, 4 more beers, cheers to Russia, 4 more beers, cheers to Ireland, 4 more beers. You get the picture. I asked them what they did for a living, they gave me the sketchiest answers imaginable, something about the Israeli army, owning telecommunications in Siberia and gambling with his 'Russian friends' in Atlantic city. Hmmmm, dodgy.
Then they invited me out for more beers "Let's go and shout at the f*cking police, they won't touch us". Thanks but I'm washing my hair tonight. "Ok, lets go and f*Ck some girls, if you have money, we can give you everything" What a kind offer, but really, I'm ok.
Suddenly the police burst into this small, quiet coffee shop, batons drawn, demanding the Russians (who at this stage we had confirmed were in fact part of the local mafia) go with them. They laughed, shook my hand, shouted "f*cking police", told me to wait a second and went outside. I saw out the window, the English speaking guy, the alpha-male, was giving the police a piece of his mind, shouting at them, gesturing etc at which point the police disappeared, the gangsters went the following way. We waited until the coast was clear, finished our beers hastily, and shot back to the hostel in double quick time!
Getting locked in by the Kazaks:
Day 1 in Kazakhstan, I was wondering around the city centre admiring the amazing new architecture found across Astana, the new capital. 2 Kazak guys approached me, speaking excellent English, saying "hey guys, it's 5pm, drinking time! Wanna join us?". I always try to say yes to all opportunities so off I went to his swanky, huge apartment 100m away from the iconic city centre.
Within 5 minutes two bottles of vodka were cracked open. The Kazakhstanis drink their vodka in shots, no mixing here, so before too long the music was cranking and more people were at the gathering.
I was with my two friends and we wanted to check out a bar in the city, to see what the vibe was in Kazakhstan. "Sure guys, that's the plan, just some more shots". This continued for another couple of hours, more people turned up, more booze and other dubious substances.
By this point I knew it was time to go, I whacked on my sneakers and made my way to the door. Bham. Door shut. Half friendly, half sternly the new guy 'suggested' we do more shots, we obliged.
We heard all about the politics within the Government, what the Kazaks really thought about their new found oil money, about the 20 year rule of the 'democratic' President. Sporadically we tried to leave, shut down every time until finally we made one last combined effort. After much protestation we managed to squeeze out the door, down the lift and onto the main road, taxi straight to our place.
Why they wouldn't let us leave, I'll never know but let's just say I'm happy we left when we did!
Bus station accommodation:
In the last 6 years I've stayed in some skanky accommodation, bed bugs, no running water, hookers drifting in and out of rooms – none of it phases me too much, but this little beauty is right up there with my worst accommodation!
Located in the bus station (yep, actually in it), we rented a twin room, with no running water, no bathroom, no sheets and 2 very battered mattresses and some strange stains on the floor.
I only stayed one night, but it was long enough to work out that the stains were in fact puke on the floor and that the holes in the walls were rat dens. The rat den discovery was due to the fact that in the shared bathroom was a sticky tab to catch creatures, I went for a pee and was greeted by a squealing, gyrating rat stuck to the tab, fighting for his life, 30cm from the toilet. Wonderful way to start the morning.
The worst thing about this place was that it cost $27 a night! Damn that new oil money dragging the prices up everywhere.
Shaman possession:
I wrote an article about this here. In a nutshell, I stayed with a nomadic Mongolian family who's son recently became a shaman, he then became possessed by two spirits. I stayed in their tent on a night of a full moon when the Shaman became repossessed so he had to excorcise the spirits from his body immediately, while I sat there for 2 hours watching the ritual. Amazing.
Traveling cattle class:
In a bid to maintain my budget travel policies I choose to book 3rd class tickets where available on the Trans Siberian journey. This consists of 6 beds to each section , with 10 sections per carriage. Each section is about the size of a king-size bed, so it's cramped beyond belief.
After sharing booze with a Uzbek family, drinking with Russian soldiers, sharing salami and hard liquor with Kazaks, getting my photo taken endless times and having entire conversations with people despite the fact that my Russian is constricted to about 3 words, I discovered that if you really wanna 'feel' the Trans Siberian, cattle class is the only way to go.
Renting out a gay Russian bath house:
I've written an article about this little mishap, which ultimately turned out pretty cool (read about it here), but suffice to say a naked Russian bath house with a mirrored bedroom as the centre piece and naked dudes all over the walls is probably not the standard Russian bath house the people in the Lonely Planet were suggesting we visit. Ooops.

With the upcoming launch of DDR II motherboards it is safe to assume that DDR550 may be one of the last major speed grades available in DDR I from Corsair memory as they shift their attention to DDR II. While Corsair won't confirm or deny that this will be the fastest DDR I module that they ship, they do admit it is a possibilty.
The TwinX1024-4400 is intended for use on motherboards based on the Intel 875P (Canterwood) chipset. The 1Gb memory kit that we are looking at today contains two 512mb matched memory modules. The latency is set by SPD to 3-4-4-8 which is loose, but is required due to the IC's available that can reach these speeds.
The memory we are testing today are TWINX matched memory pairs that have been specifically designed for motherboards using chipsets with dual memory channels. All Corsair XMS4400 memory kits consists of two ultrahigh-speed memory modules that have been tested together at DDR550 (275MHz) on an ASUS Canterwood P4C800-E dual channel motherboard. Corsiar uses this ASUS board because it is one of the few that can reach speeds of 275MHz with stability (if all the right hardware is used). In all honesty the boards that can run DDR550 out of the box with no modifications can be counted on one hand, leaving this memory for the select few that have the right hardware and the need for speed. Since this memory is rated so fast and so few boards and processors can handle 275+ MHz FSB above this memory should be reserved for the extreme Intel enthusiasts who are wanting to run the highest possible memory speeds. To be able to run such amazing speeds these modules come with relaxed latency settings, but this is a key factor to allow extraordinarily high clock speeds for optimum performance in many system configurations.
The Corsair XMS4400 modules are designed to be run in overclocked systems and they do carry a full lifetime warranty. This means that Corsair products are guaranteed to operate, as specified by their datasheet and in the operating environment for which they were intended, for the life of the product.
As the label states Corsair's XMS4400 memory is speed rated for 550MHZ (PC-4400) speeds at loose timings of CL 3-4-4-8, 1T.
Once I removed the heat spreaders I found one of the newest Hynix IC's on the market for high speed memory modules — Hynix D5's. The full part number was found to be HY5DU56822CT-D5. If you want to sound like an uber hardware specialist these are known as Hynix Revision "C" IC's in the D5 speed grade. For those of you who don't know, these are the first IC's from Hynix in the TSOP form factor that are rated above 400MHz. Actually, the D5 IC's come rated at 500MHz, but with relaxed timings of 3-4-4. Corsiar takes batches of these IC's and screens out the top performers that are found to be stable at 550MHz DDR for use on their PC-4400 memory line.
For those of you that want to know the inside scoop on everything we broke down what the codes on the IC mean below. If you would like to do this on one of your personal modules or to double check us you can find the most current decoder right here on the Hynix site.

Now that we know what the memory is rated for by Corsair and what exact IC's are being used on the Corsair XMS PC-4400 memory kit we can look at our testing to see how it really performs.

"Glee" might need to make a big change in the U.K.
Britain's high court ruled Friday (July 18) 20th Century Fox must rename the musical show, since it breaches the trademark of The Glee Club comedy chain.
The Associated Press reports Judge Roger Wyand ruled in favor of Comic Enterprises, owner of The Glee Club, in February,
saying there was a "likelihood of confusion" between the two brands.
Fox reportedly has plans to appeal the decision calling the ordered name change "unnecessary, unfair and disproportionate."
Wyand spoke out about the decision saying, "I find it hard to believe that the cost of the re-titling and
publicizing of the new name would be so prohibitive compared to the
value of the series. I was told many times during the course
of the trial how this series is a 'blockbuster.'"
The judge admitted the Court of Appeal might take a different view and put the name change order on hold until appeal judges have been able to analyze the case.
Comic Enterprises is seeking damages and 20th Century Fox has been ordered to make an interim payment equivalent to $170,000.

Our program strives to meet the needs of the resident based on previous PGY-1 residency experience, interests, and individual goals of the candidate. The residency program is divided into four 3-month block rotations, with the first rotation devoted to orientation to the Internal Medicine/Primary Care, Diabetes, Anticoagulation and Pulmonary Clinics. An individual training plan is created for each resident. All residents complete a research project and present their study results at a regional residency conference in the Spring.
The purpose of the PGY-2 Ambulatory Care program is to prepare the resident to obtain a position as an Ambulatory Care Clinical Specialist. Residents will take full responsibility for the care of each patient served. Residents will provide necessary education for both medical professionals operating in the outpatient clinic as well as all patients treated. All pharmacotherapy and disease state issues will be addressed and resolved while taking into account potential barriers in the implementation of the pharmacotherapy plan (i.e. patients' socioeconomic status, insurance status, and/or cultural barriers).

PvP Progress: A Few Arena Battles
My new nemesis.
I tried my hand at arena to get some last minute conquest, along with a patient Holy Pally guildmate. I called our ad hoc 2v2 team Maceinyourface, and our record is a crappy 3-8. Beginner's 2v2 seems to be hit or miss in terms of difficulty, but mostly miss for me.

A Proper Introduction
Before I dive too far in, I should say a few things about myself.
I played a little in 2005 as a Tauren Hunter, but honestly, I don't even remember the name of the guild I was in. Death Something or other. Something generic and forgettable, whatever. Doesn't count. My point is, I know what pulling and chain trapping used to be.
I started playing again in Feb 2010, quietly leveling in Eutopia. When I reached level cap in July, I geared up and started raiding ICC. As a group, we did not down LK, but we were close. It was a great run, but patch 4.0 dispersed us, and we never fully formed back up.
I reluctantly left Eutopia this summer and started shopping around for a new guild. Not to call people out, but a lot of guilds are full of
morons and slackers
. Even the big names. I know that sounds weak coming from me, but it's true. After many months of PuGs and yet even more incompletions (Haven't done Al'Akir to date, much less Rag), I've settled into Ephemera, and started doing Rated Battlegrounds.
Never did I imagine I would like PvP. I got to 1600 on my Hunter, 1700 on my Priest at the end of Season 10, though I kind of jumped in to the tail end of it. For Season 11, my goal is to help keep Ephemera on top of Durotan Rateds, and get to 2000 rating on both my Hunter and Priest. I might also do some arena with my Shammy.
Anticipated Changes to Pet Buffs
*This is reposted from the
WHH forums
The recent live developer Q and A contained one comment that has significant implications to pets and their buff/debuff system. Only one debuff provided by pets (+bleed damage) was mentioned, but the implication is that the entire buff/debuff system is under review. From the Q and A:
Comment From Spinner:
What will happen to passive abilities like trueshot aura, arcane tactics, improved icy talons and unleashed rage? Where will they go in the new talent system?
Ghostcrawler: Many of those become passive abilities you get for your spec. We are removing some of the less interesting buffs and debuffs (+bleed damage, armor, 3% damage, resists are all on the chopping block at the moment).
Now, just because they are on the chopping block doesn't mean the specific examples given are going away for sure. Also, I do want to point out that GC didn't say unimportant or underused buffs/debuffs would be cut, but "less interesting" ones. This begs the question: "What defines an interesting buff?"

How To Choose Professions: Min/Maxing, Making Money, Self Sufficiency
"What professions should I choose?" There's not a one size fits all answer, as it relies heavily on your motivations. Do you want to min/max your profession perks? Do you want to make gold? Do you want to make gear or items for yourself and friends? Likely, it's a combination of these. I'll go over each of these motivations and how professions benefit a Hunter most.

Hunter's pets and class identity.
Today on
Scattered Shots
, Frostheim offhandedly mentions "...a handful of hunters who'd like to do away with pets entirely". I despise this idea with a passion. I'm not a dedicated Beastmaster Hunter by any means, and it's my least played spec, but merely the idea of removing pets, even just for Marksman Hunters, puts a bitter taste in my mouth.

All the DT members decided to bring something Alice-related to the tea party......my choice was the CUPS AND SAUCERS.
A while ago I saw this post on EFFIES BLOG and so I decided I was going to MAKE my cups and saucers!
Effie had used a template that I had also seen and stored the idea away for future use.......it's here on ANN WOODS BLOG.......be sure and check out the rest of Anns blog....she makes INCREDIBLE owls and other birds!
So using the template I cut out 6 cups.......I then wanted to do the papier mache covering with old book pages.....but I didn't have the wallpaper paste suggested so went back to my childhood and mixed some good old flour and water paste! It was a messy, gooey process but fun!
After setting the cups aside to dry.....they took a couple of days to be completely dry.......I painted them with gesso......let dry again and then with paint, some of which I removed with baby wipes so you can still see some text.
Each cup was then decorated with a different pattern and a black pen.
To make the saucers I cut a small circle, then cut a slit into the circle and overlappeed the edges to give a slightly concave shape.......tape in place and then cover with paper sand paint as per the cups. The concave shape means that the saucers don't sit completely flat.......press them down a little to get them flat enough for the cups to sit on them........I wanted them slightly wonky to fit into the MAD tea party theme!!!

Bicycle Haiku
eBook (PDF), 156 Pages
In 1979 I rode my bike from San Francisco to New Jersey the long way. It was my first trip in the US. I pedalled up to Oregon, down to Texas and back up to Indiana and then across the Appalachians to New Jersey, where my parents lived. It took 3 months. Instead of taking my trusty camera I took a blank notebook and a pen. I did a sketch with a haiku each day of the trip. Many years later I scanned this notebook. This book is a reproduction of that scan.

Hydraulic crab pot pullers are important time- and effort-saving devices used by crabbers and lobstermen. The hydraulic system is powered by the main engine, which is belted to the hydraulic pump. The hydraulic fluid is carried through the system in a series of hoses. When activated, the puller rotates with considerable mechanic advantage and is capable of pulling up the heaviest of loads with great ease. The trap float line is led through a V-shaped pulley on the puller, which pinches the line and allows the puller to pull the trap off of the bottom and up to the boat.

- 1
Find the best spot for the crab pot puller and mount it. Ensure that the puller is firmly mounted and is positioned for the rail man to easily engage the float ropes in the puller. Consider the pull angle and any blocks that the rope must pass through before reaching the puller when choosing a mounting location.
- 2
Mount the hydraulic pump onto the main engine as per the manufacturer's instructions. The pump may be a hang-on type that mounts on the engine and is belted to the main shaft pulley, similar to an alternator, or it may be a free-mounted pump that must be bolted to the engine bed or another strong point close to the front of the engine. Refer to the pump manufacturer for specific mounting instructions.
- 3
Connect the pump to the puller with high-pressure hydraulic lines. Tighten the fittings on the lines securely in their ports with a wrench. Ensure that the hydraulic lines do not contact any moving machinery that may chafe through the line and cause it to fail.
- 4
Position the on-off switch close to the puller. The switch should be located where the rail man or the helmsman can reach it to turn it off in case of emergency, such as a crew member becoming entangled with a line or with the puller itself. Run the wires for the switch in a safe route, avoiding chafe points and bilge water, and connect the switch to the terminals on the hydraulic pump clutch. Crimp terminals to the wires and install them on their terminals.
Tips and warnings
- Hydraulic systems that are run by the main engine can be very strong. A crew member can easily become entangled with the puller lines with serious injury as a result. Many captains prefer to have a second switch near the helm in case of emergencies. Foot switches are also popular as they act as a "dead man's switch" for the rail man. Foot pressure actuates the switch and, in case of emergency, the puller can be disabled simply by lifting one's foot off of the switch.

Marietta, Ga. - Lockheed Martin's [NYSE: LMT] F-22 Raptor returned to the skies today here in a series of test and production flights, the first since a four-month fleet stand down was lifted on Sept. 19, 2011 by the U.S. Air Force.Aircraft flown are preparing for delivery to the U.S. Air Force. Specific delivery schedules and flight activities are being aligned in conjunction with customer specifications and testing parameters. F-22 final assembly line schedule was not impacted by the stand down and the team continues to roll out Raptors on time, with final aircraft completing in December 2011.
"It's exciting to see the F-22 Raptor back in the skies," said Jeff Babione, vice president and general manager of Lockheed Martin's F-22 program. "We are dedicated to supporting our customer in return-to-flight activities. It takes a strong team to design, build, maintain and operate the Raptor. I'm proud to be part of such a team."
As the world's only operational 5th generation fighter, the F-22 Raptors are counted on to project power, deter threats and promote stability around the world. F-22 units also frequently deploy to Kadena Air Base, Japan, and Andersen AFB, Guam, as part of rotational support assignments designed to enhance security in the Pacific theater.

California Bill Would Let Patients See Out-Of-Network Providers
Health insurance plans have networks of doctors and hospitals that policyholders must use. If a patient wants to see an out-of-network provider, they face higher out-of-pocket costs. But a pending bill in the California Senate would require insurers to offer timely access to care. If that wasn't possible, patients could see a non-network provider without having to pay more. —Kenny Goldberg, KPBS, 06/06/14 More »

Couldn't be happier. Looked exactly like the photo on the website and super sharp in my red Miata with black interior. High quality materials, fit perfectly on the floor right down to the anchor holes at the bottom. Highly recommended.
