GR Frags The Vote
Posted on Tuesday, November 4 @ 15:00:02 PST by Duke_FerrisHere in the U.S. it's mid-election-day. A couple people have asked GR to take an official position and endorse a candidate.
Sorry, the only people we endorse are gamers, and since neither candidate has taken a stance on gaming (other than buying some in-game ads), GR has no opinion. I already voted, and I personally have an opinion, I'm just not sharing it.
However, some politicians up for election have expressed opinions
For the lazy, here they are: Roger Wicker (R-MS), Lee Terry (R-NE), Jim Matheson (D-UT), Fred Upton (R-MI), Betty McCollum (D-MN), Cliff Stearns (R-FL), Joe Baca (D-CA). What a bunch of jerks.
GR embraces all gamers, be they Red or Blue. Then we blow them up if they're on the other team.
Finally, you don't have to watch the whole thing (it get's preachy by the end) but you should at least get as far as "I've never done shit on drugs besides played Halo 2."
Edit: Blake wanted me to add this movie:

Author has written 3 stories for Host, and Twilight.
I'm Rainbow.Wings (obviously) and I'm on here to write stories (refer to aforementioned 'obviously')
I'm currently working on a sequel to my story Like Glue, set in the Twilight series called Sticky Diamonds. Don't ask about the titles, I still don't know what I was thinking, but you never question lightbulb moments!
There used to be links to photos of character's prom dresses but I've taken them down because the links don't work anymore, sorry to the people looking for them.
I'm from Australia and seeing as my stories are all set in America, I might make some mistakes. If I do, send me a message and I'll fix 'em up :)
I'm all for constructive criticism and compliments don't hurt either ;)
Hope you like my stories :D

text: "Fair enough" Well what can i really say, look at that on a writers website and i'm lost for words. Basically i'm what it says in the title, i am also doing an IT course at Zenos (if anybody else has heard of it, do tell me as almost nobody seems to know what im going on about) I enjoy writing, and i usually write in fantasy or warrior based worlds, magic intrigues me and i find the entire genre of fantasy fascinating, the fact that a world can be created in the mind is something that i love and that i strive to accomplish in my writing. Fierce battles, Dragons, Magic and a complex state of mind is what incorporates my characters, my worlds and my own state of mind, everything is a reflection of how i would like things to be or how i feel the world is. I'm only currently working on one story with Xelotath its turning out to be quite good. Torn in Two The only other thing i can say is really that writing is all about fun and an expression of your own ideas and your own imagination, nothing can be wrong and nothing can be stupid, its all fun at the end of the day. That said i welcome CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM not complaints. Please enjoy the reading

13 November 2012
Budding cycling stars can seize their moment to shine by taking part in the Bupa mini tour for kids next January.
The event, part of the 2013 Santos Tour Down Under, is presented by UniSA and will be held on January 27 along the Adelaide City Council Street Circuit from King William Road to Elder Park.
Minister for Tourism, Gail Gago said children aged between six and 12 could enter the Bupa mini tour for kids.
"This great event gives young riders the chance to use the UCI WorldTour track, just like their cycling heroes," Ms Gago said.
"Mini tour participants will ride along the start/finish straight of the street circuit only hours before the world's elite cyclists battle it out on the final stage of the Santos Tour Down Under.
"There is always a great atmosphere for the youngsters as they're cheered on by family, friends and cycling fans enjoying their time in Adelaide."
Bupa mini tour for kids entrants will be split into age groups, with each allocated 20 minutes to ride as many laps of the special track as they can.
Entry is $30 per child and includes exclusive access to the Stage 6 Adelaide City Council Street Circuit, a special Bupa mini tour for kids t-shirt to wear while riding, refreshments and a gift bag.
Ms Gago said children needed a bike in good condition, an Australian Standards-approved helmet and permission from their parent or guardian to participate.
"In 2013 the Santos Tour Down Under will celebrate its 15th anniversary, and what better way for children to enjoy the occasion than by riding part of the official course?" she said.
"The Bupa mini tour for kids caters for all abilities, from those just starting out on a bike to older children who enjoy longer rides with their families.
"South Australia has a large and passionate cycling community and I encourage our youngest riders to be part of the action when the southern hemisphere's largest cycling event returns."
The 2013 Santos Tour Down Under will be held from January 20 to 27.

Reader... the way of my will
Please read first: Basically, I'm working on a story and I don't intend for it to be one that people can be involved in. However, I have written the first draft of the first or second chapter (depending on whether I choose to give something away in a chapter before this one) and I would like, if you have the time, for you to read it and just give me a bit of feedback. The idea behind the story I have posted in the comment box so I hope you read that either before or after reading this bit of story. At the moment it may seem complicated or not to be displaying too much of my ideas, but the intention is that in future chapters I explore my intention a bit more.
If you do read this then thank you, it is greatly appreciated :) (I apologise for the length)
The night was growing darker. Not in the normal sense of the word; not in the sense of the sun setting to make way for the blackening sky. No. This night was simply darkening in every way, on every level, though only to the eyes of one individual... for now.
Picture it, you and me, out and about after an 'after-work drink'. You've stumbled across a writer and the writer has a journey for you, the reader, to take. Isn't this unusual! Writers write books do they not? Then why is my voice a part of you? Reader, this is your story, you decide!
A slender figure is standing silently beneath a lamp-post. Not the typical flickering lamppost of horror stories, no, you don't want a horror story. It's staring at the ground, and unless it's eyes have shut and it's head has simply hung down in its own comfort, its gaze is seemingly fixed. You, the ever anxious reader, you want to know more? You may even be one of the pretentious types, who wants to 'get to know the protagonist on some meaningful 'they relate to my life' sort of way. I sigh. Well go on then. You hesitate? Why? This is your story, do as you please! Why, you may even be the protagonist if you think about it that way... and then, well then it's your duty to introduce the other characters to the story! Why friend, you're getting the hang of this. In any case, why would I speak like this if not trying to fool you? Just get on. Quick, try and take a closer look at those keen eyes! If I give you one word of caution... just don't be seen yet, you don't want it to look up do you! Ah, you've already put your foot down onto the road, taken that step off the road. You were thinking, right, that maybe this person was just lonely. Maybe you could do the one thing that people always dream of doing... being that stranger, that one with all the knowledge and culture anyone would ever want. One that lasts just a short walk but makes that everlasting impression. This seemed like a good opportunity doesn't it? Well maybe it is, I can't say! Go on, stop doubting me, why don't you see for yourself... I'm just the reporter. That's it, sneak the long way round maybe, cross the crystal road, might want to even take your shoes off or walk on tip-toe because with the water on the road like that the splashing is going to draw attention to you. Sorry, please, do as you will. That's it. Now back against that shop window, watch out for the drain, don't want any echoes. Ok, I realise these directions seem a little 'OTT' for such a meeting, I'll try and steady my anxious pen.
Shh! Wait. Listen a moment. Do you hear that? That noise?
Deep beneath the limp hair of the figure two eyelids blinked. The wet black hair twitched as if the head it hung from had suddenly awoken. The eyes were, however, open. There was something wrong. Something all-together 'not there'. The eyes, in the shadow of the figure's face, gave another blink and as they opened again their faint white colour turned very quickly to grey. The pupils widened and in the very centre a deep echo of closure seemed to resonate back into the figure's skull. In its mind it heard the thud; a sound deeper than any other worldly sound... something strangely subsonic. The eyes lifted their stare from the floor at its feet to the manhole cover in the centre of the road.
You didn't hear the noise? It just sounded like a breath that's all. But then, I suppose, why shouldn't you hear a breath and have it relax into your subconscious? That's what people do... breathe. I guess this is a dark and lonely night. You've read about nights like these. In the rain, on the street, a single stranger and just you. There's something missing. Look up. You're right, in this tale the moon is not large, it is not casting any evil glow and bats are not flying in front of it to create eerie shapes... no, nothing like that. There is no moon.
This is where you take the opportunity to 'suss out' this stranger. It has long black hair; the hair is soaked through so maybe they have been outside all day through the pouring rain that only stopped about an hour ago, around the time you left the pub. You check your watch again. It's half 2 in the morning. Reader it is bed-time go home! But then, you say, you've been out so late there is no harm in staying out a little longer now. You are not too weary or too drunk. The rain has stopped and the wind has dropped. Why, breathe a deep breath, feel that 'after-rain' smell in your nostrils. I think it's true that everyone likes the dark really. Everyone likes to have that feeling of being alone in a calm peaceful street after the rain.
But you're not alone are you? Not only do you have me to listen to, but you have that unmoving person not far away. Ha! Do I feel resentment, reader?! Can you really resent the fact that you do not have this night to yourself now?! I mean, it's not often you find city streets empty and quiet and so beautifully crystalline with the shimmer of rain on tarmac beneath faint streetlamps. Do streetlamps ever turn off in the night you ask? I couldn't say, I do not stay outdoors for nights on end. Maybe that's something you could use, yes, something intelligent you could use to spark conversation with this stranger if you really are going to put aside that resentment and say hello.
I can feel your caution. It's not good to go about fearing everything you know! After all, no-one is here but him, or her, to watch you fail if you mix up your words or stumble. Only that stranger. And hell, it's likely you'll never even see them again! You could even use this as some weird little experiment! Go on, go and get a spine! About time!
But then, I did say something earlier didn't I; I did say be careful. Well maybe I take it back. Maybe you could use this, I shall keep quiet.
The figure under the lamp swayed forward just a little. Not enough for anyone to wonder if they were about to fall or if they had fallen asleep, just in the way that one finds when one focuses on something in front of them and let's their mind fall silent again. The body took another slow breath and once again the eyes blinked, the shuddering boom came in its mind and it's eyes darkened further, now darker grey. The night around it thickened, as if some veil had come before it. The eyes lifted again to the kerb on the other side of the road. This time the head lifted just a little too, just to keep the eyes from feeling the pull of muscles. The hair, slick and heavy, pulled at the roots and the figure let out its breath as slowly as it had inhaled as if in a sigh.
Now I'm just watching you. I'm not going to say anything to you but I'm going to report what you're doing. This, friend, is my job so please, do not resent me also for intruding on your private little test.
You've taken another step only this time you've forgotten that I told you to be quiet. I assume it's because you wouldn't want to startle this person, wouldn't want to come at them from behind like some stalker or midnight killer! Hell, they wouldn't like that one bit! Wouldn't want to offer a challenge now. The wind seems to have picked up a little; you feel it on your skin like you've got moisture there. But the rain has stopped. All the same, you touch your cheek with your fingertips for a minute and find the skin to be just a little slimy. Moisture, whether it is sweat or humidity catching you, you just ignore it; may as well, you'll be home soon. You come out from the shadows. Look at you, you seem even to have grown as I watch you now! Your face seems so bright that your clothes have almost faded into the darkness about you. Yes, you're growing in confidence even now! See how the street light brings it out of you. I think you even notice it too because you look to those shadows and scowl just a bit, again feeling that moisture in the frowning folds of skin under your eyes and on your forehead. Shake your head, yes, stay out of those shadows, what were you doing, scuttling into them like a fearful mouse?! Did you sense something? Who knows now, it's like you've forgotten what I said anyway, and rightly so, you should do things of your own account!
The chest heaved again, slowly as always, but the breath it took this time was heavier and filled with greater purpose and with it came an almost silent rasp that it heard only inside itself. The hands were hidden away in the pockets of the figure's black thigh length coat, but as the breath took hold of the body a couple of the fingers twitched with life. The figure took in another breath, this time through its nose. But the breath was not whole. It stopped, mid-scent. Something caught on the breeze. The eyes widened just a little and the kerb ahead seemed to become more focused, as though each time it found a new sight for its gaze it slipped away for a moment and had not realised until now. The eyes shifted down again, to re-check the ground nearer to the feet, to find the greater focus there than they had found before. Yes, the pavement the figure stood upon was shining with a dull glitter of fallen rain; they saw this now, those eyes, instead of the swirl of dim grey it had been watching before. No thud came in that mind now as its eyes shut for a couple of seconds and opened again. Nothing flickered save the new taste on the breeze and the new shimmer on the ground. The head hung in place.

Raja has been residing in Delhi's Tihar jail over his alleged tainted role in the 2G spectrum scandal. Now, DMK leader Kanimozhi's name has also mustered up as the co-conspirator.
The investigating agency Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) named Karunanidhi's daughter as a co-conspirator in its second supplementary charge-sheet, though reprieved his wife Dayalu Ammal.
Sources informed that Enforcement Directorate (ED) may soon summon Kanimozhi for questioning about her alleged role in 2G scam. A close aide of Raja, Sadiq Bachcha committed suicide over the harassment in the spectrum jittery.
However, quite ironically, the spectrum scandal started swallowing the top leaders of the ruling party in Tamil Nadu when the state is waiting for its crucial assembly election results.
Circumstances hinted that many big names of DMK may soon experience the Tihar life along with Raja. So, one question raised here - who will reign the state if DMK will be able to cast its win over its main opposition party - AIADMK led by Jayalalithaa?

DIY build of the Pioneer C-21 preamplifier
As you probably know already, I download and study audio schematics for fun as well as for reference. The C-21 circuit has long struck me as being unusually elegant, and I've already borrowed the power supply design for my headphone amplifier. Although I can't follow it all, after a while you can sense when the designer is someone who really knows what they are doing.
Lately though I've been interested in discrete transistor pre-amplifier circuits, and of the ones I've seen the C-21 seems like the best place to start.
The circuit, edited to remove clutter, is shown below. Would welcome any opinions and comments.

I would suggest to remove or reduce the compensation capacitors (470pF) after the second differential amplifier, add a 10pF Miller cap to the uncompensated transistor in the second differential and to give each differential amplifier emitter degeneration resistors. In fact, I'd probably pull all but the main miller compensation and dial up the degeneration until the circuit is stable with a a 100pF load and a 10KHz squarewave.
Another area of concern, if you are using a conventional volume pot, these really do not like to have their wiper loaded plus, neither pot or stepped attenuator like to have non-linear base currents from BJT inputs injected into their wiper.
Maybe the best solution would be to flip the polarities and use a cascoded JN-Channel J-Fet input. Of course then we would have something that looks like a Goldmund Preamp.

one for the power supply ... i am not really thrilled ...obviously there are much better ways to stabilize clean power an yes small details there are very important .
two as about the main circuit i have absolutely no issues except that as said is not something that special ...we have seen things like that before .... be sure that gain is too high for now days equipment and be sure that Japanese designers of that time had an absolute and perfect knowledge of the parts used .... that will apply to performance specs durability and better possible use .... that will mean that this preamp will not work that perfect if you use a pair of BC 546 -556 or similar and even if the specs are very very close ...

"obviously there are much better ways to stabilize clean power"
Aha, that's twice in one thread now. Please don't make statements like that unless you are willing to back them up.
The Zener/pass transistor is indeed a very basic, simple voltage regulator, but it sounds very good. In my opinion better than when feedback + error amplifier is used, at least for line level where the last word in noise filtering is not required.
Returning to the C-21 line amplifier circuit, I realize that it is "nothing special", at least in concept. Execution looks exceptionally solid though. I should have stated at the outset that I was looking for something relatively simple to play with, rather than the latest DIY fashion. Set myself the goal of 7-8 transistors: (long tail pair + voltage amp + push-pull output)/feedback loop. I still suck at reading transistor amplifier schematics, the idea is to make a very simple, yet working, "op amp" from discrete components to see how far I can get. Plan to do a fair bit of benchtop testing.
No, I will not build the C-21 circuit unmodified. Obviously the loudness control is going to go, and the gain reduced. Maybe reduce the voltage rails, hopefully get the offsets down so I can get rid of some of the coupling capacitors...

Putting 470 Ohm degeneration into the input stage and some into the VAS will lower this open loop DC gain but make the circuit much more linear.
Then again, I would probably consider the Goldmund Pre design or the Spectral DMC-10 Design (which can be found with some effort) better choices if high quality is desired.

Then you should back-up this strong statemet:
...after a while you can sense when the designer is someone who really knows what they are doing.
> Would welcome any opinions and comments
Every designer has different goals and intents and tricks. What I see is a damm-the-cost brute-force design.
Two 37V rails? What power amp needs 30V, even 15V, input swings?
It is of course from the Very high NFB era. It probably has SO much NFB as to be benignly neutral. Fashion changes.
Input stage current is quite high. Perhaps on the high side for lowest noise in a 100K volume pot. Yes, the added output pot can put the part-volume hiss super-low, but I'm not sure it is supposed to be used that way.
Mismatch between 100K bias at input and 1K resistance at backside of the pair will cause some DC offset, which does incidentally bias the big electrolytic appropriately.
C13 suggests GBW near 80MHz, however C15 C17 may be rolling-off by 0.2MHz. C11 against 13K says something happens near 3MHz. I'm not seeing elegance here. Sometimes compensation is not elegant, but it is nice when it is.
The two 470pFd loading caps are red-flags to my eyes. The thing was unstable, and was hammered into submission with BFCs. On the napkin, 7mA forcing ~~1000pFd is 7V/uS slew-rate. Which is fine for any line-level audio, but cheap chips do this well with crummy lateral PNPs; selected discrete devices "can do better".
There is a hidden 2nd-harmonic nonlinearity. Because it is worked as non-inverting there is common-mode at the input. Input pair is long-tailed with a resistor. Current in first and second stages varies with input. Second-stage current will change more than first-stage current. At the extreme (+/-2.5V inputs) there could be 20% change of current and maybe 10% change of gain peak-to-peak, hence 2nd-harmonic. I don't think this is a sonic sin, and it sure will be reduced by NFB.... but the whole pair-pair-mirror topology is often thought to null 2nd-harmonic, not be dominated by it.
I wonder how much "better" (that word again) this is compared to NE5532. (Unless you really need 20+V swings.)
The power supply seems unremarkable to me. Follower on Zener with RC filter is an old-old workhorse. 0.01u across the rectifiers may-or-may-not improve the switching noise; stout layout may help switching hash more than adding parts.

Thorsten, PRR;
Thanks for your comments. And feed free to name drop: any alternatives (transistor, with gain, relatively simple) will be given full consideration.
The 37 V rails are unusual and "costly" so there must have been a reason. Improved linearity? The output is specifically shown on the schematic as "(1V)" so it doesnt seem to have been for the high voltage swings. Also mysterious to me why then chop that to +15V for the top of the input long tailed pair.
"The two 470pFd loading caps are red-flags to my eyes."
It seems to me the circuit was designed for low distortion rather than high bandwidth. The bandwidth/slew rate was curtailed intentionally down to "sufficient" levels and stability ensured by the multiple capacitors distributed over the whole circuit...

Personally I'd probably stick J500 CCS into the tail.
Basically, they did not degenerate any of the gain stages. This creates low noise (but given the 100K Volume control this is the greatest noise source anyway), the result is very high gain. As remarked, using bipolars connected to a potentiometer will create a substantial but hidden and variable distortion (and noise) source. Using J-Fets would be better on both counts.
The output stage bias is reasonable for a linestage (max 20mA Peak into 1K = 14V) but inappropriate for headphones and if the circuit drops into class AB sound quality will suffer.
As I have remarked before, the topologically similar Spectral DMC-10 (but with Fet's on input and output and much greater output bias) would be a better choice IMNSHO, or if extra complexity can be allowed the Goldmund circuit (needs a hefty output stage though due to +/- 60V Rails).
If you can live with Op-Amp's I'd probably try an OPA627 or similar followed by a SE Output stage with a nice Mosfet and a big heatsink that runs at 0.3A or so bias and a suitable CCS (even a 317 is not as bad as it's reputation).

"I felt so good to be back with my brothers, you just don't know," Johnson said. "Words can't really explain. It was so emotional to come to the Dog Walk, I mean I'd been greeting the players in the locker room but to go through the Dog Walk knowing I'm fixing to hit the field was emotional for me. So I just felt good."
Mississippi State's offense shared that feeling. True, they had performed quite well enough already through five victories with no lack of pass-catchers and route-runners. Still there was a degree of Dog anticipation about getting Johnson back. He'd shown enough signs as a 2011 redshirt freshman with 11 catches, three of them for touchdowns, to tantalize what '12 might hold.
Besides…with Marcus Green and Brandon Hill hauling in all those balls, there was a sense of missing out on the tight end fun this season. "I knew coming in the offense we were going to run from the jump. So there was a little pressure to get back soon and help my team. I mean…yeah, kinda!"
It didn't take long to get Johnson involved against Tennessee, as he was the successful target for Tyler Russell on a 25-yard connection. "Yeah, that first catch was a good one too. It got my nerves down. Basically I was back so it was good, too, to get my feet wet." But the best was yet to come, at the very end.
On the nine-yard line with fourth down and 15 seconds remaining most at Scott Field—not least the visiting Volunteers—expected Russell to take the snap and either ramble around to burn clock or hand it to LaDarius Perkins for the same purpose. That was not what the Bulldogs said in the huddle, where Johnson heard his name.
"Yeah, the play was called for me so I knew I had expectations. And Coach had trust in me at that time of the game. So I felt I had to prove myself." As Russell quick-dropped before a fooled defense Johnson slipped clear off the left side and to the end zone, where he saw the high throw. A very high throw.
"I told him that!" Johnson smiled. "But I understand why he was doing it. He was throwing it for only me. If I can't catch it nobody else can catch it. It was just a smart play by Tyler knowing the situation. He was doing what he had to do." So, Johnson did what he had to do going left-to-right along the back line; he jumped, stretched, and reeeeeached.
"Yeah, that comes in practice and practicing over and over so you're prepared for the game. Like Coach Mullen says, if you practice well you'll be prepared for the game." Maybe, but it took more than simple preparation to make the one-handed grab with the left hand and come down with the shoe—a bright pink one which made identification easier—unquestionably in bounds.
It's a catch that will make many a highlight video of 2012, not just Mississippi State's. It also affirmed Johnson was all the way back from tearing his right pectoral muscle in a scooter accident at home. Yes, by the way, he says he could have done it with the right arm just the same if necessary. "It's good, fully, no pain, no nothing."
"I give all my credit to strength coach. Coach Balis and his staff and Justin and the trainers. Some days I felt down and some days I felt a little tired. But they kept staying on me, kept me motivated, so when I did get healthy I could hit the ground running."
By the same token Johnson did not waste valuable pre- and in-season time just watching the tight ends and wide receivers at play. He worked, on his own if necessary, just a man and his Jugs machine which Coach Dan Mullen thought was going to burn-out from constant use.
"I try to catch as many balls as I can," Johnson explained. "I have like a rule: if I drop one ball in practice I try to catch a hundred Jugs for that one ball." Though to be fair, few have witnessed Johnson dropping even one ball in a practice day. Not for nothing is he regarded as having the best hands on the squad, a reputation earned last season with some excellent catches and magnified this past spring.
So when he took a bad fall and tore the chest muscle, it caused real concerns in the Bulldog camp. Fortunately a sixth season for Green and the development of Hill, like Johnson a converted wide receiver, filled the tight end bill just fine for half a season.
Now with Johnson back? "It takes a lot of stress off Green and Brandon and Rufus. And it takes a lot of stress off the offense." For that matter it relieves Johnson's own tensions that had built in August and September while he watched and waited and wondered when.
"God puts us through tests. I've went through a lot of test and stayed faithful and kept my head high and kept working." With the first-game-back results which bode that much more for the rest of this season. The potential of this complete offense is only beginning to be recognized, even if it means spreading the ball around to one more Dog.
"I mean, everybody has a job to do," Johnson said. "That's why I feel this team is on the same key, everybody is working for the next guy. You have to understand every play is not designed for you, but it's designed for somebody so you have to do your job to make the play as good as possible."
And the possibilities seem boundless for this bunch of tight ends…as long as they can keep Johnson from taking another tumble. There wouldn't be any offers from teammates of sharing a ride or sticking to a bicycle, hey? "Nah, they haven't given me any grief, that's past!"

Blood Lust
This is sorta like the house of night series. (Exept way better! Jks) It's about this girl who- yeah when I try to write a summary for it, the first thing I think about is the house of night, so yeah imagine the house of night turned into the -like- house of faeries! Sorry I suck at summaries so plz dnt kill me! And plz read I'm desperate, it's my first stroy on here! And if you dnt read, it'll slay you1 And if you do read it'll slay you anyway, cos it's that good! Yeah you heard it here first f
Chapter 1:
I struggled to pull my limp body across the wet floor of the disused warehouse bathroom where I had woke up, the lights were of but through a box window above a cubicle I can see the moons light shining through onto a small patch of crimson liquid which covered the base of the room, my hands groped around for something solid to hold onto but could only find a red sticky liquid that clung to my hands and clothes, the wet on the floor should be a crimson thick fluid that I would hate to touch but the solution that was covering me wasn't something I would hate touch it was something I loved I shouldn't though I shouldn't, especially with what it was, what I thought it was, what it shouldn't be, it wasn't, it couldn't be, my whole body shuddered with the thought of what the juice that my body longed for most probably was
My whole body craved for it I felt I would die without it, it couldn't hurt to taste it, could it? Nobody would mind...no-one would know...would they? I felt my tongue crawling out of my mouth and sliding down my face it licked my wet, matted hair and...then it touched it the salty liquid that was causing my whole body to shake with joy as I realised I had found the best thing in the world, but then I realised something was wrong, very wrong. I felt my eyes snap back in my head and then every vein in my body shuddered violently as they started to thump as my heartbeat started to get faster and faster, the thudding inside me got so fast that I thought my heart was going to take off and fly away, just as my heart reached the pinnacle of the thudding the noise suddenly stopped taking the pain in between my two lungs with it...then...there was nothing.
No sound whatsoever inside me the beat of my heart, gone, my heavy breathing, gone, I could think. The thudding of my heart no longer took up every thought in my mind, and now there was silence. And it scared me and the only thought that occupied my mind was the prayer that filled every corner of my mind. I was hoping, praying that something would make a sound; someone would come, walk into this bathroom and find me.
But no-one came here.
It was closed down 50 years ago.
Along with the whole neighbourhood.
No-one lived here...my thought pattern got slower...no-one came here...except me...no-one would find me...I would be here forever. And then it dawned on me why my heart had stopped, I didn't breathe, the deafening silence, I was going to die, suffocate and I knew why and I didn't care, all I cared about right now was the air I was desperately trying to inhale, I wanted to breathe so badly that the fight for air became so important that I forget how long I had gone without air, and survived. I realised something massive, yet didn't want to accept it. I couldn't accept it. I mean how could I tell everyone when I got home, "Oh hey everybody! I'm a ..."
I can't even think it so how could I say it?
I'd stopped fighting for air I knew that much, I knew I was going to die and I knew that I had made the worst decision of my life and knew I was going to regret it.
And then I remembered they don't need air, well that what all my books say anyway, but that's fiction, right? I slowly got up trying to realise what had happened to have all this...Blood... here, had I killed someone? Where would I go? What would I do? What did I look like?...What did I look like? I turned around and looked at what was left of the mirror,...had I wrecked that as well as the rest of the bathroom? I saw someone's skin, I saw someone's lips, I saw someone's hair, I saw someone's face, I saw someone's blood, I saw my eyes.
My eyes. The same piercing blue that I had before I become this familiar stranger. Yet this stranger seemed so familiar. Like when you see someone in a crowd, and you swear you know them because they are so familiar yet you obviously don't. Well, that's me the familiar stranger. It's not me, but it is. Then the questions again.
Do I?
Are my?
I felt my hands feel up to my ears, and felt the points that had developed there. They were pixie points. I was a pixie and I was beautiful. Apart from the fact I had pointy ears, I was now a different species and I was a familiar stranger. Yeah, apart from that I was beautiful. What used to be filthy, golden brown hair, was now clean shiny golden hair, what used to be spotty greasy too pale skin, was now smooth spot free olive coloured skin, where chewed up too short discoloured nails were, there were now perfect sized smooth nails. My eyes were the same magnificent sky blue, yet there was something different, there was an elegance to my stand, I stood on the balls of my feet and no longer on the whole foot, I didn't fell as though I was unbalanced and I was going to fall over, I twirled around and watched my hair spread out as though I was flying.
This imposter was not me.
But it was.
And then I remembered, I was one of them now. I was a beautiful mythical creature now, wasn't I? But why me? Why did they choose me? I mean you read about things like this happening, but the people who are chosen are always those brainbox kids or some sort of popular sporty kid. But seriously though, me? I'm not particuly good at anything I'm average really, I don't excel at anything, I'm not good at sports. I'm definitely not popular. I've got no magyck connections at all!
But I could...I know my foster parents don't, but what if my birth parents did? What if I did? What if I was magyck? I guess even if I was magyck it can't stop my foster parents grounding me, or getting mad that I've been "chosen"! But there's nothing else I can do except go home and hope for the best. So that's my great plan, go home and hope for the best...
Don't ask me how I got home I just did. I ignored the whispers and cries of shock that escaped peoples mouths as they saw my face, and controversed over how beautiful I was. I think. They probably could of definitely been whispering about the fact I was covered in blood. Probably. Definitely. But I bet they was gasping a little bit at how beautiful I was. A teeny bit. Not really. And that's why I ran the rest of the way home and why I was crying as I burst in through the back door of our house. And probably why mum started crying when she saw me too. But not for the same reasons.

Joe: OverwhelmedMature
Word Count: 554
I turned at the mention of my name just in time to see David shoot at a zombie that tried taking a chunk out of his leg. I replicated this as another came up from behind him. The hordes were getting thicker and more consistent, how many zombies could one small hospital hold? It was stupid of me to go rushing out like this.
'Go back David!' I shouted at him. 'It's not safe out here.'
He turned round to see a handful of zombies pouring through the double doors. He charged towards me and grabbed my shirt, hauling me in the opposite direction.
'We have to get out of here!'
'Why did you follow me?' I ducked round the corner and spotted a locked door ahead with glass windows. They looked sturdy enough; maybe we could get in there and barricade it up?
David seemed to know what I was thinking and ran towards them grabbing an office chair that lay abandoned on its side. He threw it at the windows and they shattered easily. My hope ebbed slightly; maybe they weren't as strong as I thought. The pursuing hordes were getting closer; I could hear their moans. That wasn't something you ever got used to: the sounds they made. It was enough to drive a man crazy if he let it.
David reached through the broken glass and twisted the handle. The door swung open and we shot inside. A lone zombie in the corner of the room looked up at us and hissed.
'I'll take care of this, you board the door up,' I instructed. David nodded.
I aimed the gun at the creatures head as it began to run towards me.
Pulling the trigger, I waited for the bullet to hit it.
Nothing happened.
The gun clicked, but no bullet came out.
I didn't even have time to think about this before the zombie was on me and I was fighting for my life. It sent us both to the floor, the gun went flying out of my hands and it started snapping its teeth towards me. I grabbed its head and tried prying it off me, but it was determined and instead turned its head to try and bite my arm. I managed to pull away just in time and it snapped at the air.
I inclined my head in the direction of David and saw him struggling to keep the doors shut. We were going to be overwhelmed. He looked over at me and I saw the defeat in his eyes. Shaking my head, I mouthed the word NO.
I kneed the zombie on top of me in the stomach and managed to scrabble out from underneath it. My eyes darted manically for a weapon to defend myself with before I remembered the knife in my boot. Of course Joe you dumbass!
I pulled the blade out and the zombie did the rest of the work itself. It literally ran onto it. Blood and brains coated my arms and the zombie jerked once before sliding off the knife and onto the floor.
'Joe the doors aren't gonna hold!' David yelled over the sounds of the dead outside.
'I think my gun's out of ammo,' I replied. His face drained of colour.
We were well and truly fucked.

Massive Arcade Button with LED - 100mm Green
|Adafruit Industries
This 100mm diameter arcade button with a 16mm deep plastic base is giant! We've seen these on some games of skill in arcades, they're easy to mount on nearly any kind of enclosure. They're not waterproof or weatherproof, so best used indoors.
This button has a domed green plastic cover with a black retaining ring around it. There's an optional LED included that will light up the button. The LED has a built in resistor so you can run it up to 12V but given the massive size and shallow depth of the button, it doesn't illuminate the entire button face evenly. The button activates a common arcade microswitch (included), the switch contacts are normally open. When the button is pressed, the contacts close.

my styles range from anywhere from deep, latin house to minimal, tech house and progressive and trance, but my preferences and 'sound' can be described as drum-filled, soulful latin house as well as that intense, 'dutch' electro sounds with epic and funky vocals, all with a base of minimal-tech house gluing everything together.
i can incorporate several styles into a single set, being diverse and interesting – yet consistent; appealing to wide ranges of crowd and venue types, while retaining my signature sound.
i perform live using any of the following:
- traktor scratch pro / cd-j's
- ableton live 7 & 8
residencies held:
past gigs:
i am self taught in music production. i have been done 'bootleg' remixes and various mix sets, and some originally produced work of my own. i have produced my first original track "Seance" as well as its follow-up, "Exorcism" with long-time friend Dan Grashof; a classically trained musician and aspiring producer as well, and several other original solo productions. my production style tends to differ from my performance style; i tend to prefer to produce the darker, minimal-tech type of sound. i am experimenting with other styles of production, and will be diversifying my portfolio of work as time goes on.

Drogba left this summer to join Shanghai Shenhua, and Mourinho believes his departure will hit his former team.
The Portuguese told Sky Sports News: "I believe Drogba is the big difference for them. I don't think you can replace him. You can buy top players and invest like Chelsea did, but there is only one Drogba, in the Premiership and Chelsea's history.
"Drogba means crucial moments. The final, a top match, Drogba is there. When the team is losing at home, Drogba is there. Chelsea will miss Drogba and Drogba will mean a few less points. But the team is good, with good players and they are European champions."

Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN
Follicular bronchiolitis is a bronchiolar lesion characterized by the presence of hyperplastic lymphoid follicles with reactive germinal centers distributed along bronchovascular bundles. This disorder can be idiopathic or occur in association with systemic disorders such as connective tissue diseases or immunodeficiency syndromes. Relatively little is known regarding prognostic implications and treatment of this disorder. Herein, we report a case of successful treatment of this condition with a macrolide antibiotic.
A 45 year old ex-smoker who initially presented to her primary care physician with shortness of breath. She was treated at that time for a presumed chest infection, but had no clinical improvement. Subsequently, pulmonary function studies revealed a reduced diffusing capacity and oxygen desaturation with exercise. A CT scan demonstrated a mosaic attenuation pattern. Bronchoscopy was non-diagnostic with negative cultures. She experienced symptomatic improvement with prednisone treatment but her dyspnea and fatigue worsened again as the prednisone dose was tapered. She had no significant environmental or occupations exposures. She had no clinical or laboratory features to suggest an underlying systemic connective tissue disorder or immunodeficiency syndrome. Surgical lung biopsy revealed histopathologic features of follicular bronchiolitis. Clinically, she had done relatively well, but was experiencing the side effects of chronic corticosteroid therapy including weight gain and hyperglycemia. A trial of azithromycin was initiated along with further tapering of the prednisone dose. After 3 months of azithromycin therapy, she was noticing improvement in her respiratory symptoms. After one year of therapy, she had normalization of her oxygen saturation with exercise and slight improvement of the diffusing capacity.
Follicular bronchiolitis is an uncommonly form of bronchiolar lesions that can be idiopathic or occur in association with connective-tissue disorders –particularly rheumatoid arthritis, immunodeficiency syndromes including AIDS, pulmonary infections, or ill-defined hypersensitivity reactions. Patients usually present with progressive dyspnea and variable pulmonary function abnormalities have been reported, including obstructive, restrictive, and mixed patterns. The predominant finding on chest radiography is bilateral, small nodular, or reticulonodular infiltrates with intrathoracic adenopathy, though occasionally chest radiographs may look normal. The cardinal features of follicular bronchiolitis on HRCT consist of bilateral and diffusely distributed centrilobular nodules measuring 1 to 12 mm in diameter, variably associated with peribronchial nodules and patchy areas of ground-glass opacity. Treatment is generally directed to the underlying disease when such association is recognized. Those patients with no identifiable underlying cause have generally been treated with bronchodilators and corticosteroids. More recently, Hayakawa and colleagues reported on the therapeutic benefits of chronic erythromycin therapy in patients with follicular bronchiolitis associated with rheumatoid arthritis. Based on this preliminary data our patient was also treated with chronic macrolide therapy and had experienced improvement. Macrolide antibiotics possess non-bactericidal immunomodulatory properties that include inhibiting inflammatory cell chemotaxis, cytokine synthesis, adhesion molecule expression, and reactive oxygen species production.
Follicular bronchiolitis is a bronchiolar lesion that can be idiopathic or occur in association with systemic disorders. Relatively little is known about the treatment or prognostic implications of this disorder. Our case suggests that chronic macrolide therapy may be useful in the treatment of follicular bronchiolitis in the non-rheumatoid population.

The first thing the Viera Remote app does is look for and recognise your model of Panasonic TV (an L42WT50 in our case). After that your activity is based around a list of control icons along the bottom of the screen, kicking off with 'Cursor'.
As its name suggests, this leaves most of the screen clear so you can use finger movements to directly control a pointer on the TV. Also present are representations of the red, green, yellow and blue 'shortcut' buttons found on normal Panasonic remotes, plus Exit and Return buttons to aid menu navigation, and a shortcut to the TV's Viera Tools multimedia menus.
As a means of navigating menus, and especially the web browser which we'll get to in a minute, this is a vastly superior solution to both normal remotes and the unhelpful touchpad remote Panasonic provides free with all WT50 TVs.
The next icon says Remote, and reproduces a virtual representation of all the key button sections of a normal Panasonic remote control on your smart device's screen. We say "sections" because it splits groups of buttons across multiple swipe-to pages. The first page just has the mute, TV, AV, channel up/down and volume up/down buttons, for instance, while swiping right once calls up the main cursor navigation and OK buttons. Swiping right again calls up shortcuts to key features like 3D, Media Player, Aspect ratio. And so on.
Net benefit
Things start to get more interesting with the browser button. This calls up a Panasonic browser, which you can either use as normal on your table or phone, or 'throw' onto the TV's screen if you want to share a website you've found with the rest of your family.
All you have to do to make the browser appear on your TV is hold your finger down on your portable screen until a little icon with an arrow at the top appears, then swipe your finger up. This tells the TV to replace what it's showing with a reproduction of the browser screen on your tablet. You can then control the browser via the cursor screen in the app in conjunction with a row of thoughtfully useful icons along the top of the on-TV browser.
It's worth reminding you here that if you're using the Android version and you select a text input field, a little Mic icon within the on-tablet/phone keyboard lets you speak the text you want to insert into the field.
The next function icon, dubbed Media, lets you play on your Panasonic TV the photo, video and (on the Android version) music files you've got stored on your portable device. Just select the photo, video or song you want to play and it can be sent to the TV via a simple 'throw' icon at the top of your portable screen.
If you've selected a photo, you can easily scroll through your photo collection via forward and backwards buttons on the app screen, while your photos on the TV are accompanied by some entirely unpleasant piano music.
An Apple crash? Surely not!
During our tests this Media feature proved a little unstable, especially on Apple devices, causing the app to crash out fairly regularly. But doubtless this will get sorted by future updates.
It's the next feature, the Viera Viewer, that really makes the new Viera app special, though. It lets you watch the broadcast being shown on the TV on your portable device, or even broadcasts you've got recorded onto an SD card if you've got one slotted into the TV.
You just select the TV or SD card content you want to watch from the Viera Viewer list, and after a short delay while the video stream is transcoded, the picture on your TV miraculously appears on your portable screen too. The pictures on your portable are a few seconds behind those on the TV, but this doesn't really matter under most circumstances.
It's a good start and hopefully as more new Pans appear the app will improve and give more functionality. It won't help with my current TV though - a 4-year old Pan TX37LZD85 - but hopefully next year (when my Pan is 5-years old) I'll but getting a new bigger plasma Panasonic. With the way technolgoy is developing, who knows what it will achieve!
To be quite honest I'll just stick to my ordinary remote control.All these apps just drain the smartphones batteries ( not so much a problem with me as I got 2 batteries with my phone ) but the remote batteries with my TV go on for a couple of years. These apps are just for show off's not the average man in the street. Just imagine as your battery goes flat some one tries to phone you to tell you your mother has just been taken into hospital!!!!!!!!!!!
So why not produce a Viera Remote "app" to run on a PC laptop so I can play video files from the PCs hard disk or display TV on the Laptop's screen? It seems completely daft to have to reply on a cabled USB connection to do anything like this....
im confused. bought a txl32c4b a year ago
just got round to checking features (as i was rmainly interested in tv)
can connect to router ok , all connection tests pass
but cant do anything - no 'internet' button on remote
what can i do, if nothing then why does it have network connectionll
when does the panasonic viera voice control come out? and what month? please
it's already out long time ago. not in every country yet. New model TV
very sad... daughter tried to surprise me by downloading the app onto Sammy Tab2 only to then find out some functions work and some don't. A quick scan of the list provided above confirmed it, my ST30 aint a dual processor so functionality useless. I do despair. A nice to have gimmic if nothing else
Any idea when the viera-2 will come o windows platform. W8 store has an 'unofficial' Panasonic viera remote, but it does not have the swipe and share feature. It is quite frustrating actually. I don't want to change my phone for this little thing.
Not connecting to tv wifi is on done everything im suppised to do help ??

|JMX remote managmentContext and firewall
|Thu, 12 Feb 2009 02:50:49 GMT
First, I want to clarify the requirements I have: 1. use a remote box jconsole to control activemq 2. use ssl for jmx 3. use ldap login authentication for jmx 4. activemq instance is running on a firewall protected machine which restrict ports very careful All 1-3 is doable when I use SUNJMX to define the following: -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=1099 -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.access.file=jmx.access -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.login.config=<file contains ldap info> -Djavax.net.ssl.keyStore=keystore -Djavax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword=password -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=truststore -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword=trustword 4 is troublesome because jmx rmi is opening two ports, 1 port where the RMI Registry can be reached which is defined by com.sun.management.jmxremote.port and the 2nd port is where the RMIServer and RMIConnection remote objects are exported which is chosen by the RMI stack--random from 32000-65535. therefore if you only open port 1099 in the firewall, the remote jconsole will not work. you can see on the server, it is listening on 1099 but will not work because of that 2nd port thing unless you open all those ports which seems quite unacceptable. Please refer to this useful post: http://blogs.sun.com/jmxetc/entry/troubleshooting_connection_problems_in_jconsole which provides workaround using -javaagent my question is 1. Is activemq already providing any solution for scenario 4? 2. managementContext documentation is not clear. If I use managementContext to define JMX port, how can i define client authentication. it is not using anything defined in SUNJMX, if someone can clarify, please do. cheers, ying -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/JMX-remote-managmentContext-and-firewall-tp21969017p21969017.html Sent from the ActiveMQ - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Kindabeep lite
by: Globalapps R • 100
All Android applications categories
by: Globalapps R • 100
Is it possible to know first what the other person has to say, and then decide whether you want to talk to him? And be prepared for the conversation. Yes! Kindabeep em all!
Unlike the full version:
- contains ads,
- there is no widget for quick turn on,
- no dictaphone,
- no option to upload your own melody.
If you like this app, you can support us buying full version.
Some features:
1. Fake telephone beeps (for listening thoughts). When people hear the beeps while waiting for respond, when they call someone, they usually thinking aloud. And usually they think about person, to whom they ring up.
2. Seven types of realistic phone beeps, including euro and american beeps.
3. Fake beeps when you need to imitate, that you try to call someone, but he does not respond.
This program is designed to eavesdrop other people's thoughts. For the using the program, you need TWO phones. Install software on one, by the other receiving a call. If you have one phone, and the software is installed on it, and you are waitng a call in a particular time, you can make temporary forwarding (through calling settings) to wire phone, or to your friend`s phone (if he does not mind).
What the program does, and how to eavesdrop the thoughts?
When a person calls you, waiting for your response to the call, that is, until the sound beeps, he can articulate his thoughts out loud. And he may have something to discuss with someone who is close to him. And these discussions are likely to be somehow connected to you. It is not intended for your ears.
What kind of situations it can be?
Hundreds, but here are a couple of examples.
- A guy calls a girl, and while waiting for the beeps, declares his love. Or asking for forgiveness. It can also be the opposite, that the girl is calling the guy.
- Subordinate calls his boss to lie he is ill. He will say it in hoarse voice. But while hearing the beeps, discussing something with someone in a normal voice, and even laughs.
You yourself have done so many times, and you can imagine. When a person hears the phone beeps, he thinks it is harmless. He can tell all the thoughts, all the secrets. Both good and bad. They can blame you, they can confess in love.
How does it work?
Our application allows you to quickly turn on a realistic simulation of telephone beep signal. Which people usually hear in the tube while waiting for a response.
For the functioning of the application, you need two phones: on the one you are taking a call, on the other - the application runs. If you have one phone, waiting for a particular call, you can temporarily activate a forwarding: a wire number that you have on hand, or a friend's number. Thus, the application is installed (and runs) on your phone, you are taking (due to forwarding) the call to your number, but on the other tube.
So, someone calls on the phone. Phone in which the application is installed, is near you. You quickly turn on the fake beep in the application (clicking the widget). After that press the "answer" in the phone to which someone calls. A phone with "kindabeep" should be located near the microphone of the phone to which someone calls. At the time, when you hit "answer", the caller can hear a click, but in telephone lines is always something rustles.
So, the one who is calling you, keep hearing beeps, he does not know that you already listen to him. And he can while waiting for an answer share his secrets out loud.

The consensus approach to monitoring online privacy is more effective than imposing inflexible rules
Data protection is unique among legal disciplines in that it is defined in large part by societal attitudes rather than on a rule or legal precedent. These attitudes evolve, changing the standard for compliance around a particular practice or disclosure. As a result, best practices can be an integral part of data protection compliance as they help define a de facto standard.
In rapidly evolving industries such as technology, best practices are important in defining a baseline data protection standard that balances innovation with privacy.
The EU Cookie Directive, which arose out of 2009 amendments to the directive on e-privacy, requires notice, "informed" consent and the ability to opt out from cookies and other online trackers. The informed consent mandate is especially problematic, as requiring consent every time an ad is served results in a negative user experience. It can also disrupt the flow of online advertising and add to compliance costs.
Companies have been slow to comply with the directive. Many have resorted to simpler fixes, such as directing users to change their browser settings rather than investing in the notice, choice and control mechanisms required. And there's been little EU enforcement of the informed consent standard.
On both sides of the Atlantic we have seen the development of transparency standards through a consensus process involving stakeholders from government, industry and the advocacy community.
In the EU last year a cross-industry self-regulatory initiative was developed to introduce pan-European standards to enhance transparency and user control for online behavioural advertising (OBA). The European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance (EDAA) is responsible for enacting key aspects of these and acts as the central licensing body for the OBA icon that signifies compliance. To date, more than 180 companies have signed up.
In the US, the Department of Commerce was tasked with leading multi-stakeholder proceedings to develop codes of conduct for privacy – starting with an effort around mobile transparency. Most stakeholders coalesced around a mobile short-notice format that uses a mix of icons and descriptions to provide disclosure.
A consensus-driven effort has been shown to be best at maintaining the privacy-innovation balance. There are examples of other industry-based, consensus-driven processes that have not gone well – efforts around 'do-not-track', for example. However, in areas such as data protection and privacy, which are shaped by societal attitudes, a standard that has investment from a broad range of stakeholders is better than a mandate.
The EU Data Protection Regulation just came a step closer to becoming law, with a key vote in the European Parliament. However, if the regulation is to succeed it needs not just to jump regulatory hurdles but also to achieve consensus from all those who will have to comply with it.

British hate preacher`s permission needed for jihad, witness tells trial
An American Muslim convert told the New York trial of British hate preacher Abu Hamza on Friday how the cleric`s permission was required if recruits wanted to fight in Afghanistan.
London: An American Muslim convert told the New York trial of British hate preacher Abu Hamza on Friday how the cleric`s permission was required if recruits wanted to fight in Afghanistan.
David Smith, who converted to Islam in 1997 at age 17, said he listened in Seattle to recordings of Abu Hamza`s sermons and discussed with British radical Feroz Abbasi, who was later jailed at Guantanamo Bay, how to go fight in Afghanistan.
"To go to the mountains for jihad, I had to make myself available to the Sheikh," Smith told the court in reference to Abu Hamza, the 56-year-old Egyptian-born cleric then living in London.
"He would grant me permission to go up to the mountains for jihad," Smith told the Manhattan federal court.
Smith duly went to London in 1999 to meet Abu Hamza at Finsbury Park mosque. He said he also received weapons training from a Swedish Muslim called Osama Kassir, known as Abu Kadija, at a mosque in Seattle with five or six others.
Kassir taught them how to take apart and assemble an AK-47, how to make a silencer and explained how a bullet "tumbles and rips up flesh," Smith said.
US prosecutors say Abu Hamza had sent Kassir and Haroon Agwat, a British Muslim, to the United States to set up an Al-Qaeda-inspired training camp at Bly in the northwestern state of Oregon.
Kassir flew to Seattle from London with his wife and children in late 1999. Agwat, who later died in Afghanistan, went too.
Smith, who is no longer a Muslim, never traveled to Afghanistan.
Mustafa Kamel Mustafa, better known in Britain as Abu Hamza al-Masri, is pleading not guilty to 11 kidnapping and terror charges which pre-date the 9/11 attacks.
He faces the rest of his life in a maximum security US prison if convicted by the 12-member jury after a trial that is expected to last four to five weeks.Dressed in a T-shirt and grey trousers, his hair and beard white, Abu Hamza has closely followed all court proceedings, taking notes on Friday with a special prosthesis.
He is blind in one eye and lost both arms, blown off at the elbow, in an explosion in Afghanistan years ago.
He is set to take the stand himself during the trial.
On Thursday, the US prosecution laid out its case, branding Abu Hamza a "global exporter of violence and terrorism" intent on waging war against non-Muslims.
It is the second high-profile terror trial heard in a Manhattan federal court after Osama bin Laden`s son-in-law, former Al-Qaeda spokesman Suleiman Abu Ghaith was convicted on March 26.
Abu Hamza`s charges relate to the 1998 kidnapping in Yemen of 16 Western tourists, four of whom were killed, and conspiracy to set up an Al-Qaeda-style training camp in Oregon in late 1999.
He is also accused of providing material support to bin Laden`s terror network, of wanting to set up a computer lab for the Taliban and of sending recruits for terror training in Afghanistan.
His defense lawyer Joshua Dratel told the court on Thursday that his client`s "harsh" anti-US and anti-Israeli opinions may be unpalatable, but that they were only words, not actions.
The trial marks the culmination of a 10-year legal battle.
He was first indicted in the United States in 2004 and served eight years in prison in Britain before losing his last appeal in the European Court of Human Rights against extradition.

The "irreplaceable" British actor Roger Lloyd-Pack, best known for playing Trigger in classic UK comedy Only Fools and Horses, has died. He was 69.
His agent, Maureen Vincent, said he died of pancreatic cancer at his London home on Wednesday night, surrounded by his family.
'Alright, Dave': Trigger's Best Only Fools And Horses Bits
After a career spanning almost 50 years across stage and screen, Lloyd-Pack was also known for roles in The Vicar of Dibley and Doctor Who.
His recent film roles included Barty Crouch in 2005's Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and a role in Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy.
He was also a staunch socialist, often spotted at political marches and rallies for nuclear disarmament and left-wing causes.
Upon the news, Graham Linehan - creator of Father Ted and The IT Crowd - tweeted: "Very sad news about Roger Lloyd-Pack. Trigger was an ancestor to (Father Ted's) Father Dougal and I'm glad I once had a chance to tell him so."
And John Challis, who as car dealer Boycie appeared alongside Lloyd-Pack for years in "Only Fools", said: "I spoke to Roger two days ago. Roger said it was a bit awkward to talk at that particular moment. It is very sad and very distressing.

9/16 Roger as the gun-toting 'The Chief' in 1990
10/16 Celia Imrie as Julie Vernon and Roger Lloyd Pack as Eddie Vernon in The Food Of Love, 1991.
11/16 He starred opposite Martin Freeman in Margery and Gladys in 2003.
12/16 Right through his career, Roger knew how to rock a Trilby. Again in Margery and Gladys, 2003.
13/16 He was no stranger to the stage, either. Roger starred in Shakespeare's Richard III in 2012.
14/16 Looking regal as the Duke of Buckingham in Shakespeare's Richard III, 2012.
15/16 Reunited with his Only Fools And Horses co-stars John Challis and Sue Holderness in 2004.
16/16 Roger starred in several films in his later career, including Harry Potter: The Goblet Of Fire.
"My thoughts are with his family. He was a remarkable man and he'll be missed. Roger is irreplaceable. It's a very sorry day."
The Apprentice's Lord Sugar added to the tributes, tweeting that Trigger was "one of my favourite TV characters," and actor James Corden tweeted: "So sad to hear about the passing on Roger Lloyd Pack. What an incredible actor and person. May he rest in peace."
Lloyd-Pack was born in Islington, north London in 1944, son of Hammer horror actor Charles Lloyd-Pack. He will be remembered for one of British comedy's most popular running jokes: Trigger's insistence on calling Only Fools and Horses' Rodney "Dave."
But, in reference to the breadth of Lloyd-Pack's work, his friend Clive Merrison tweeted: "I suppose the Trigger thing is inevitable but there was much more to his work than that."

I was baptised in this font in July 1948. My late grandmother's family were parishioners at St Leonard's and will have been baptised there too. The family is connected to carpet weaving in the town, one of whom was the first Axminster weaver. That family name was/is Head and there are still members of the family active in this church, although it is now under the care of the Redundant Churches Commission. Lots of information on this church available in Bridgnorth Library and the Church itself.
