|"If you ever mention my wife or my kids again…" – Chris (Mark Wahlberg).Schizophrenia can be a helluva thing and the latest cinematic version of a film that cannot control its mood swings, temperament, or demeanor is Contraband. Essentially, Contraband looks like a gritty action suspense/thriller. And a heist film. And a family drama. And a wife-and-kids-in-peril horror film. And a rooting for the anti-hero film. In short, Contraband wants to be everything to everyone and mostly fails in being anything to anyone.
Mark Wahlberg is a fine actor and as a friend pointed out to me, and this comment is completely true in analyzing his career, he is most often great when he is in an ensemble. When asked to be the sole name-above-the-title, situations typically found in his lackluster attempts to be a big-time action movie star, Wahlberg and, in turn, the films suffer. For every The Fighter, The Other Guys, The Basketball Diaries, Boogie Nights and The Departed, there is The Happening, Shooter, Max Payne, and Rock Star. And now there's Contraband.
You may think Wahlberg has an ensemble cast around him but this is clearly his film, and Wahlberg is in virtually every scene playing Chris, a former drug smuggler who has gone straight and has his own security alarm installation business, largely because he is now married to Kate (Kate Beckinsale) with two young sons. Kate, however, shown to be rough around the edges with bad hair highlights and a couple of ill-advised tattoos (sigh), has a brother, Andy (Caleb Landry Jones), who either idolizes Chris' past work or just cannot get out of his own way. Suffice to say, Andy botched a drug run quite bad, angering Briggs (Giovanni Ribisi), a Central Casting-style prototypical thug-slash-drug dealer, who now wants Andy dead for the mix-up.
As Andy recovers from the injuries he suffered when the drug deal went bad, Chris learns of what transpired and instantly knows who all the major players are. He confronts Briggs and Chris realizes that it is time FOR ONE LAST RUN!, in an effort to make things right for his family, the bad guys, and the universe as a whole I think. The run consists of ensuring the delivery of endless sheets of counterfeit bills and requires Chris and his hastily assembled team to travel to Panama
Contraband means well I suppose and director Baltasar Kormákar was the star of the original film Contraband is based on, the 2008 Icelandic film Reyjkavik-Rotterdam. Not having seen that, or frankly ever heard of it before, I have no way of comparing the two films, except that it is peculiar that the original film's star is directing the American remake. Kormákar has, shall we say, an interesting approach to his film, as that aforementioned schizophrenia in deciphering what type of film this wants to be extends out to the tone and pacing of the story. The entire film is lensed through that Michael Mann-inspired Collateral gritty, grainy Hi-Def technique, but accelerates and ramps down haphazardly so often that it becomes next to impossible to engage with what is happening on screen.
Except for Wahlberg. He is consistently Tough Guy Mark through and through and is amusing to watch trudge through all of this. Whether he is delivering the most random and absurd putdown I have heard in a film in quite some time or conveniently jamming guns down people's throats, Wahlberg is not the problem with Contraband. Likewise, although I feel as if he showed up in a completely different movie, J.K. Simmons (Juno, the Tobey Maguire Spider-Man films) has some winning moments as a ship captain, with sketchy morals, who becomes unwittingly involved in Chris' ONE LAST RUN! Add in Diego Luna (Y Tu Mama Tambien) as a crazed Panamanian drug lord and Ben Foster as Chris' best friend, Sebastian, tasked with ensuring the safety of Chris' wife and kids, Contraband has some good within its slipshod logic, direction, and pacing.
Despite liking elements of Contraband, those moments proved fleeting and the film proves to be too wildly uneven and fractured to find any real merit in it. I have no read on whether Baltasar Kormákar is a good director or not, but he appears clearly overmatched here and the screenplay by first-time feature film scribe Aaron Guzikowski does him no favors. Unable to focus, Contraband feels very long at 109 minutes and while it elicited gasps and worrisome noises from a woman directly behind me in my screening of the film, I never once found myself surprised or dazzled by anything transpiring in front of me.
Except for that wildly inappropriate Wahlberg putdown late in the film…I am still laughing about that one. Even right now.
Should I See It?
Fans of action films will be ready for this – an active film which has likely enough action, suspense, and one-liners to offer a break from those pesky Oscar hopefuls permeating the multiplexes right now.
The fact that it comprises elements of a-half-a-dozen different genres will not bother some viewers.
Scenes involving J.K. Simmons are fun, if not out of place, and Mark Wahlberg is quite good in the film. Ben Foster gives a decent if not predictable performance and some scenes are delivered pretty well. There is nothing present to make this cohesive in the slightest, but there are some fun individual moments people will talk about.
The gaps in logic and common sense take away from the popcorn entertainment angle Contraband is aiming for. Many have pointed out that the kids are too old for Chris to have just retired, Panama is not a couple of city blocks wide, and time seems to freeze and/or cease altogether in a scene involving the counterfeit bills being smuggled onto a ship. Didn't someone say, "Keep it simple, stupid."
In all honesty, the film takes a sinister turn near the end that seems forced amidst everything which transpires before it. I understand that there is a lot of guns and drugs and shootouts and violence in the film, but the final situation that Chris must struggle through feels like…it belongs somewhere else.
All of this seems so over-thought and arbitrary. There's a good film in Contraband, but Aaron Guzikowski never found it. I wonder if the Icelandic version is any better? Watch it and then tell me…chances are I won't be seeking it out…

Tasman Warajay® Technology is a proprietary design process and related software developed by Flexco that is used in the transfer chute design process.
With this technology, Flexco designs controlled flow transfer chute systems with optimized flow paths. These flow paths provide the controlled flow of material by keeping it in a continuous stream throughout the transfer. The geometry of the system is designed to accurately control the velocity and direction of the material stream contained within it. This allows the material to stay together, with all fines and particulates entrained in the stream.
Material discharged from the system is deposited softly and uniformly at a predetermined velocity and direction on the receiving belt so material settles rapidly and without the turbulence that typically leads to spillage and dust generation.
Flexco systems are characterized by:

Brits Hague: "A Humane Nation"
Gee ya think! that's why we the Brits and others condemn other countries for their Human Rights and much more, then we joined that same gutter thrash and expect to be justified, because well we're the righteous!!
A humane nation is a safer nation
7 July 2010 William Hague is right to put human rights at the heart of the UK's foreign policy – for practical as well as ethical reasons
The foreign secretary William Hague said last week that human rights should be the "irreducible core" of the UK's foreign policy. But he did not spell out why, or what that would mean in practice.
Ethical arguments aside, there are three practical reasons for having a human rights-friendly foreign policy. First, promoting human rights and the rule of law is a good way of securing some of the UK's most important foreign policy objectives, including preventing armed conflict, political extremism and radicalisation, and fostering economic development and political stability.
Second, championing respect for human rights and the rule of law sets a good example and is good for the UK's international reputation. That in turn helps to maintain the UK's political and diplomatic clout around the world – what Hague call's the UK's "soft power". Arguably that is even truer now that "hard" economic power is shifting rapidly eastwards towards nations such as China, which have little interest or experience in promoting human rights. If the UK can no longer justify its seat at the top table through economic and military might, then it should rely instead on its support for human rights.
And third, the UK is involved in a multifaceted struggle against Islamist militancy on several fronts. Experience has shown that this struggle cannot be won by military means alone. The ideological battle for hearts and minds is just as important, and victory on that front depends on the strictest adherence to human rights standards and the laws of war. Continued

In April '98, we were adopted by Dodger who the vet told us was a Shepard-Collie mix but we thought he had some Golden Retriever in him. Unfortunately, we had to put him down in October '09. In January '12 we adopted Stanley, a Dutch Shepard mix, from a shelter. He seems to have adapted to us quite readily.

I have been a VMS system programmer since 1983. I worked for Digital Equipment Corp. for 12 years starting in Field Service and switching to Software Services after a couple of years. I started programming on unix in November 1992 after installing linux (V0.97) on my home computer.
I mostly program in C/C++ or Perl. I got my start in programming using BASIC on a PDP/8e in High School. In those courses I also learned FORTRAN and assembler. In Tech School I took another round of computer courses that included BASIC, FORTRAN and assembler on PDP-11. When I was trying to get into Software Services at DEC I learned COBOL by reading the manuals over the weekend. I taught myself Pascal when a friend was having problems with his computer science classes. I taught myself C as it seemed to be becoming the common language for just about everything. I took a Java course in November, '00 and have done a few things with it. I've done plenty of DCL, some shell programming (bash and zsh), and lots of Perl.
I currently work for an electronic brokerage company helping improve the software that accepts and matches trade requests. This is a multithreaded program that efficiently handles several hundred client connections. My current project involves creating an event feed to external programs using Google Protocol Buffers.
I worked for a friend who is selling wine making franchises. I maintained the website used for point-of-sale activities at the stores. The software started as an OS Commerce installation but it has been heavily modified. The site is written in PHP using a MySQL database and runs on Apache.
I worked at a pharmaceutical company where I was responsible for maintaining the software that managed the automated warehouse. The system tracked inventory and controlled seven cranes that stored and retrieved pallets in the 30,000 pallet warehouse. The system was written in C, DCL, and Datatrieve. I also wrote several perl scripts to extend CMS/MMS for more effective project management.
I worked at a startup where I developed an administration utility using C++, Java, CORBA and PostgreSQL. We were working on NT but with an eventual desire to move to linux. We had trouble raising financial backing after 9/11 and the company failed as a result. The product was finished and marketable but we ran out of funds to deploy it.
In previous jobs, I worked on VMS, OSF/1 (Digital Unix), RSX-11M/M+, MS-DOS, Pick (Ultimate), MUMPS (DSM), and some other things without operating systems and probably a few more I can't remember. I have worked with Oracle, PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, Visual C++/MFC, DEC C/C++ on OpenVMS, gcc/g++ on linux, HTML, CSS, perl, X Windows, Motif, TCP/IP, Java, and more.
I have developed a set of subroutines called ftplib which implement the FTP protocol. This allows programs to send and receive files to remote machines without forking. The current release (V3) allows programs to read and write remote file data directly.
I have some Perl programs and modules that might be generally useful. I also have some applications on line driven by perl and backed by Postgresql.
I started a new site on my Alpha workstation running OpenVMS. I will be posting OpenVMS related information there.
I have been playing guitar (electric, 6 & 12 string accoustic, bass) since about 1975. I have attempted to play keyboards with little luck. I've also been known to use a harmonica on occassion. If I start singing, leave the room.
I ran the sound equipment at church for several years. I also ran sound for a friend who ran a coffee club in the basement of his church.
I was once part of a band called 9 Feet Tall. This was a collection of musicians that played worship at our church although not all were ever together there at the same time. We performed at coffee clubs and benefits mostly singing songs written by our lead singer. We recorded a CD which is available from the web site.
I recorded another CD project with some friends I played with just after High School. I did most of the recording and mixing on this project. The CD pressing company sent us a few samples of their attempts to master the audio but we thought they destroyed the sound quality by overcompressing it. We decided to use my mastering results and have received several complements on the sound quality on this disc.

Women's Basketball Starts Six Game Road Swing at St. Bonaventure
By Rachel Buck (@GBRachel)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – The Green Bay women's basketball team kicks off a string of six games away from the Kress Center as it travels to St. Bonaventure and Duquesne this weekend.
The Phoenix will face the Bonnies on Friday at 6 p.m. before taking on the Dukes on Sunday at 1 p.m. Both St. Bonaventure and Duquesne are members of the Atlantic 10 conference. Green Bay is 5-1 all-time against competition from the A-10, including wins over St. Bonaventure and Richmond last season.
Fans can listen live to the game on Green Bay's new radio partner, WNFL 1440 AM. The live audio with Bruce VandenPlas on the call will also be available for free via GreenBayPhoenix.com or on the Green Bay Phoenix App on IOS and Android devices. Live stats and live video will also be available.
St. Bonaventure enters the weekend with an overall record of 1-1. This is just the second meeting all-time between the two squads, and the second of a home-and-home series that started last season. A year ago the Phoenix earned a 61-42 win over the Bonnies at home. Senior Breannah Ranger finished with a game-high 14 points in the contest while shooting 70 percent (7-10) from the field.
This season the Bonnies lost their opener to N.C. State, 70-47, before rebounding with a 77-72 win over Colgate. Gabrielle Richmond leads the team with 17.0 points and 8.0 rebounds this season.
Sunday's matchup will be the first-ever meeting between Green Bay and Duquesne. The Dukes are 1-1 this season and will take on Kent State Thursday night before preparing to face the Phoenix on Sunday in its home opener.
1. Road Warriors: After opening its season at home for the first time in 26 years, the Phoenix now hits the road for a stretch of six games. It is just the third time in the Division I era Green Bay has played that many consecutive games on the road, as it also happened to start both the 1997-98 and 1998-99 seasons. The 1998-99 season was head coach Kevin Borseth's first season at the helm in Green Bay.
2. Winning Ways: Green Bay is currently riding a 22 game winning streak dating back to Dec. 8 of last season. It is the fourth-longest regular season winning streak in program history.
3. Weekly Honors: After missing the 2012-13 season with an injury, redshirt freshman Mehryn Kraker make her first collegiate start in the season opener against Northern Illinois, posting a game-high 13 points and two blocks in addition to five rebounds and two assists. For her efforts she was named the Horizon League Freshman of the Week on Monday.
4. Closing in on 250: Head Coach Kevin Borseth is closing in on his 250th win at the helm of the Phoenix. In 311 career games over 10 seasons in Green Bay, Borseth is 246-65 (.791). Carol Hammerle (1973-98) is the all-time winningest coach at Green Bay with 456 career wins over 25 seasons.
5. Young Guns: All five freshman on the Phoenix squad recorded at least one point in the season-opening win against Northern Illinois. The last time the Phoenix had five freshman play and register at least one point in the same game was on December 12, 2009 in an 83-37 win at the University of Evansville.

Hitman asks: With this hoopla going on right now with David Wright and the contract negotiations (Wright being dissatisfied by the contract offer in length & value), and Giancarlo Stanton being very outspoken against Miami, wouldn't it be smart to package Wright along with Johan Santana (eat about 60% of his contract), Zack Wheeler, Jeurys Familia, and Rafael Montero in order to land Giancarlo? Strike while the iron is hot, so to speak? Murph can briefly play 3rd until Flores is ready (or go get themselves another short term 3rd baseman like Polanco for one year), followed up by trading for Asdrubal Cabrera from Cleveland, either sliding Tejada to 2nd base or putting Cabrera at 2nd base.

Paddling Scheduled to Return to Marion County Elementary Schools
MARION COUNTY- Paddling is back, and that's after the school board voted in 2010 to ban the practice from schools.
Even after the recent majority vote to bring reintroduce corporal punishment parents and school board officials remain divided on the topic.
Corporal punishment is legal in Florida but it is up to county school boards to implement.
Marion County School Board Member, Carol Ely who recommended the change at Tuesday's says that paddling does things for elementary school students that time out can't.
And she knows from experience, she was a principal in the school board system for fourteen years.
"We don't hit very hard it's the emotional impact that we hit more than anything um because the child's in our office with their back to us and their rear up in the air, and we have the secretary witnessing so she can compare what we're doing to one child versus what we're doing to another child."
According to School Board discussions parents will be contacted for permission before a student can be paddled but only school administrators are allowed to deliver the punishment.
At the beginning of next school year parents of elementary school students will be given a form to sign if they wish for their child to be paddled.
It's still up to the principal to decide whether or not corporal punishment should be administered.
After repeat offenses a student can be paddled once a semester.

The computer version, that is, not the rodent variety. Clicks, or online sales, are delivering added cluck to his thriving poultry equipment company.
Had his daughter not been an expert in online marketing Mathews would have opted for a traditional – and costly – strategy to grow his Brisbane-based business.
Selling more ventilation or feeder systems to breeders used to mean hiring extra sales staff, and extra expenses for travel and advertising.
But Clare Lancaster, who runs online consultancy Dot Marketing, told her father if he used internet marketing potential customers would come to him, rather than him having to chase them in the offline world. "I redid their website and it's now about 300 pages," she says.
"Today they are getting leads, about five good ones a week, from areas where they don't have a physical presence. In remote communities it has definitely helped spread the word."
Her secret is search engine optimisation, a phrase most business leaders have heard about but few understand.
The basic premise involves getting a product, service or message on people's screens when they search online.
If a farmer uses the internet to search for poultry apparatus there's a decent chance – thanks to Lancaster – he'll end up at the optimised website of her dad's company, Australasian Agricultural Services.
It's easy to understand why proponents regard search marketing as a game-changer.
Unlike the scattergun approach of a traditional media campaign search marketing can deliver a qualified prospect further along the sales funnel.
"It's not interruption-based advertising," says Jeremy Bolt, executive director at leading Sydney SEO consultancy Bruce Clay Australasia.
"You're serving up what people are looking for and the potential for conversion is a lot higher."
SEO has long been viewed as the ugly sister of the dominant form of search marketing, known as pay-per-click.
Paid ads are most commonly listed as sponsored links on the results pages of major search engines.
Paid search provides the quick fix. It's easy to set up, businesses only pay when someone clicks on their ad and return on investment can be almost instantaneous.
By contrast SEO requires hard work, creative thinking and significant upfront investment. Patience also helps because the dream pay-off – number one position on Google – doesn't happen overnight.
It's also evolving as rapidly as the web itself, with social media playing a key role.
Not so long ago a search results page contained only the organic and sponsored text results.
Today you'll see all manner of "digital assets", including links to videos, images, local businesses and branded products.
Increasing personalisation also means the same search by two people will reveal different results.
The resulting SEO minefield requires businesses to be optimised where customers hang out; places like Facebook and YouTube, or Twitter and Flickr.
According to Australian industry association Interactive Advertising Bureau search marketing spend reached $900 million in 2009, including agency fees.
Bruce Clay estimates SEO accounted for just $30 million to $40 million.
But while pay-per-click attracts the megabucks, SEO generates most traffic.
The majority of web surfers – around 70 per cent – click the optimised natural listings on the first page of a search engine as opposed to sponsored links.
Natural listings are more trusted than paid ads and, unlike pay-per-click traffic – which typically dries up once you stop spending –SEO is the gift that keeps giving.
But the basic pitch – put the effort into building search marketing and customers will keep coming – proves a hard sell for marketing departments under pressure to produce fast results.
In a sector still in its infancy and devoid of a dedicated industry body or minimum professional standards lack of expertise among practitioners has also harmed SEO's reputation.
Bolt's fellow director Des Odell says the increasingly complex nature of SEO has led to a shakeout of inexperienced operators.
"People have been burnt," he says. "A lot of our clients have previously worked with two or three companies before us."
Bolt believes a mix of media including SEO and paid search works best.
It's a strategy that has worked for a 28-year-old Australian currently rearranging the flower-selling industry.
In the space of a few years Thomas Hegarty's online florist Ready Flowers has built a presence in 92 countries and expects to fill more than 80,000 orders this year.
With an annual turnover of nearly $7 million Hegarty has relocated to Hong Kong to focus on rapid growth in Asia.
In Australia Hegarty bids on 420,000 keywords on Google alone. Type the word flowers and the name of a suburb into a search engine and you're likely to see one of his ads.
"It comes down to relevancy for the customer," says Hegarty.
"It doesn't matter if you're trying to push people to make a sale, fill out a feedback form or provide a phone number.
"You have to think about the keywords they will use, and the kind of content relevant to them."
Key Points
• Search engine optimisation is a cost-effective marketing strategy
• Search marketing spend reached $900 million in 2009
• Many businesses are grasping the potential of this new marketing avenue

Over the weekend, New Mexico Highlands women's track and field was back to what has become its home away from home in recent weeks — the Albuquerque Convention Center, site of the University of New Mexico's Collegiate Classic.
The Cowgirls — ranked 11th in NCAA Division II — got strong performances in multiple events from middle distance runner Fiona James and long-distance runner Angela Ibarra.
James was sixth in the 200-meter dash and 12th in the 400; Ibarra 11th in the 3-kilometer run and 14th in the 5K.

Joseph Paul Griego of Las Vegas led a strong contingent of Meadow City grapplers by capturing a state championship in this past week's 2012 New Mexico Junior Wrestling Championships.
Griego competed in the 12 and under age group and won his 130-pound weight class.
Javier Mares, also reached the finals in his division, wrestling in the 10 and under group at heavyweight.
Overall, 10 of 12 competitors representing the Las Vegas Junior Wrestling Program earned medals, which are awarded to the top six wrestlers in each weight class.
Mora's Andrea Romero was nearly impossible to contain Monday night, scoring and rebounding and otherwise making her presence felt.
So the Pecos girls' basketball team sent her to the free throw line.
Romero continued to do damage there, swishing 11 of 12 free throws.
When it was all said and done, Romero had a dream stat line of 34 points, 10 rebounds, five assists and five steals. And the Rangerettes had a 60-35 win in a key district game.
Mora, the No. 2 team in Class 2A girls' hoops as of Monday night, improved to 21-2 overall and 4-1 in District 2-2A. Pecos fell to 13-9, 2-3.
Winning two individual weight classes and getting to the finals in three others, the Robertson wrestling team has a solid showing in a Los Alamos tournament over the weekend.
In addition to the Cardinals, teams from Bernalillo, Capital, Foothill, Los Alamos, Taos, Tucumcari and Valencia competed in the event, which served as Robertson's last of the regular season.
Robertson will host the district wrestling tournament beginning at 3 p.m. Friday at Mike Marr Gym.
A 28-year-old Las Vegas man died after he and his mother were struck by a vehicle on Williams Drive Friday night.
Adam Armijo sustained massive head trauma and was pronounced dead at the scene, said Las Vegas Police Commander Kenneth Jenkins. The mother, 58-year-old Christina Armijo, was transported to Alta Vista Regional Hospital.
"She remains in ICU in stable condition," Jenkins said Saturday evening.

New Mexico Highlands University regents voted unanimously last week to name the gym floor in Wilson Center after Henry O. Sanchez, a legendary coach and former mayor of Las Vegas.
"It's a great way to remember a very great man," Regent Jesus Lopez said after making his motion to accept the recommendation.
Sanchez, who served as the university's head basketball coach from 1983 until 1996, died unexpectedly of a heart attack in September. He was 74.
The proposal to name the gym floor after Sanchez had broad support.

DARPA's Grand Challenge just lost its strongest competitor, as Google keeps its vow to abstain from all military funding and research.
The FDA has officially approved the first multi-input myoelectric artificial limb. The new Deka Arm System is designed to better replicate the full range of human function and was developed in conjunction with DARPA.
For just over 500 days, the US Air Force's mysterious X-37B OTV-3 robotic space plane has been casually orbiting the Earth. What's truly weird, though, is that its payload, current mission, and combat capabilities are completely unknown. X-37B OTV-3, one of the world's largest artificial satellites, has been up there for 500 days, shows no sign of coming down any time soon, and we have no idea what it's doing or what it can do.
A new international report lays out the challenges to building Earth's next great mega-project — and they're more surmountable than you think.
DARPA, at the behest of the US Department of Defense, is developing a black box brain implant — an implant that will be wired into a soldier's brain and record their memories. If the soldier then suffers memory loss due to brain injury, the implant will then be used to restore those memories. The same implant could also be used during training or in the line of duty, too — as we've reported on in the past, stimulating the right regions of the brain can improve how quickly you learn new skills, reduce your reaction times, and more.
DARPA, the United States' military research agency, has announced its intention to fund and develop technology that self-destructs. For example, DARPA would like a high-resolution camera sensor self-destructs when it receives a certain radio signal from military command, preventing it from being used by the enemy. Other methods of self destruction are also being investigated, though, such as technology that degrades quickly under certain conditions — water, heat, stomach acid, and so on.
A robotic grasper with fewer moving parts is hitting the market, and it doesn't even have fingers. The Versaball relies on jamming transition to pick up and move objects with a minimum of hassle.
DARPA's Robotic Challenge took place in Florida over the weekend, pitting some of the world's most advanced humanoid robots against each other in a series of complex tasks, and rather fortuitously for a famously acquisitive Silicon Valley company, the winning robot was fielded by a company called Schaft — a Japanese company that was recently acquired by Google as part of its rather sudden segue into robotics. Google now officially, and probably not unintentionally, has its hands on the best humanoid robot in all the land.
Google, the search engine and advertising company, has acquired Boston Dynamics — the robotics and engineering company famous for the creation of some of the world's most advanced robots. It is clear that Google is seriously — and rather suddenly — interested in robots. What isn't clear, though, is why. Is Google planning some kind of synergistic and masterful play to integrate its AI and machine learning software algorithms with humanoid helper robots? Is this the start of a story that ultimately leads to the technological singularity and Judgment Day?
NASA's Johnson Space Center has finally unveiled Valkyrie, its "superhero robot" entry to the DARPA Robotics Challenge (DRC) Trials, which take place on December 20 in Florida. Valkyrie will compete against fellow humanoid robots, such as Atlas, on a series of eight physical tasks to test the dexterity and autonomy of the robots, with the chance of going forward to the DRC Finals in 2014, where it could win $2 million from the US government. The DRC isn't about money, though: It's all about accelerating humanity's development of advanced humanoid robots, for use in hazardous situations… such as war.

New Service in Fixer Upper
I am and will be looking for various types of advice. As the eldest of 5 - as a child I helped my father build the addition onto the back of previous home as well as work with other projects. In short I have some knowledge yet am by no means an expert.
the question is on a fixer upper 2 Unit APT bldg (turning into single family) total of 10 rooms including kit & bath. I have a carriage house over garage that will need demolished - reframed and ultimately have utilites in it.
Can someone please tell me with only 100 AMPS coming in from the pole - IF I need a 150 AMP panel box?
Would 150 AMP service panel be overkill or Am I on the right track to avoid future costs? To be run -general appliances, forced AC/heat/, treadmill eleptical machines, TV, and 2 computer servers. These are the largest power hungry items to be in use.
I had been considering the 150 because I will add the carriage house to the line in the future - I wanted to leave room for growth and I dont want to ultimately do the same work twice.... Would like to be able to run a service line from one structure to another and start wiring in the future.
Please help?
100 amp most likely would be ok, but a load calc needs to be done. If upgrading I would go 200 amp.
The cost in materials from 150 to 200 is small.
If the carriage house is going to be a separate residence, most likely it will need its own drop and meter. Really need to check with your utility. As for the 2 unit, even though you are stating that it is single residence now, what is the current feed from the POCO to the structure now? If going to 150, what are you adding that you feel is going to use more power?
I have 100 amp service, and only use maybe 5 to 7 amps per hour. Monthly, we use maybe 50 amps on average. So again, what are you planning on installing that uses electric, that you feel that you need 150 amps, and how many people are going to be living there. Figure that out and find out what the utility is going to charge to change the service from 100 to 150, then get a hold of few electricians to see if their costs are worthwhile for the install. That including what they would charge for 100 amp drop to the carriage house.

Young, Joseph A. & Pailthorpe, Bernard (2010) High resolution tiled display walls. In IEEE e-Science 2010 Conference, 7th - 10th December 2010, Queensland University of Technology, Brisbane, QLD. (Unpublished)
Scalable high-resolution tiled display walls are becoming increasingly important to decision makers and researchers because high pixel counts in combination with large screen areas facilitate content rich, simultaneous display of computer-generated visualization information and high-definition video data from multiple sources. This tutorial is designed to cater for new users as well as researchers who are currently operating tiled display walls or 'OptiPortals'. We will discuss the current and future applications of display wall technology and explore opportunities for participants to collaborate and contribute in a growing community. Multiple tutorial streams will cover both hands-on practical development, as well as policy and method design for embedding these technologies into the research process.
Attendees will be able to gain an understanding of how to get started with developing similar systems themselves, in addition to becoming familiar with typical applications and large-scale visualisation techniques. Presentations in this tutorial will describe current implementations of tiled display walls that highlight the effective usage of screen real-estate with various visualization datasets, including collaborative applications such as visualcasting, classroom learning and video conferencing. A feature presentation for this tutorial will be given by Jurgen Schulze from Calit2 at the University of California, San Diego. Jurgen is an expert in scientific visualization in virtual environments, human-computer interaction, real-time volume rendering, and graphics algorithms on programmable graphics hardware.

Cork vs Procelain Tile
2 Attachment(s)
We are in the process of a high end kitchen reno. We are concerned that if we go with cork it will ruin the look of the kitchen. We are having granite counter tops and custom made Maple cabinets. I wold like to go with cork for the additional comfort and the temperature on your feet.
We are currently looking at Wicanders or Torleys cork.
Any thoughts on whether this will ruin the look of a high end kitchen ?
if 5BOYS is how many you have, i'd for sure go with the cork! dents pop right back out, it's extremely durable, dishes dropped on it normally bounce, not break, etc. great for cold weather areas too....but what do i know? i'm just a cartoon mouse.....
Yep 5boys is what we have although they are older now 15-23.
I don't think it's fancy enough -- go with wood or a laminate that looks like wood -- or tile if you don't mind the hardness.
My vote is for cork. As stated earlier it is much more durable, and as you seem to know more comfortable to walk on with bare feet. In my opinion it can look just as good as other tiles, especially because it's not too common these days.
If it makes you feel any better, one of the absolute best high-end kitchens I have seen used stained concrete for the flooring...
Ridiculous. Aesthetics and personal taste aside, yes, cork is more durable than wood and vinyl. But it isn't in the same neighborhood as ceramic, porcelain or many natural stone floors. Not even close!
If it was so durable and maintenance free, why not recommend it for the counters instead of granite?:whistling2:
so what should she use for her new countertops? shag? berber? sculptered? gonna be a bytch for her to vacuum with that upright though.......
Haha, I think a nice shag countertop would go well if the walls were done in a similar fashion along with a large disco ball above the island...
Sorry Deb, let's get this thread back on topic!
the disco ball is a given with the cork floors..... EVERYone knows THAT!! for warm feet, cork is my choice. (and the wife's...another given.)
I vote cork...get the right complement to the counter tops and you'll have a stellar look!!:thumbup:
I said aesthetics and personal taste aside, because that is an individual preference that tile wins with most people. Ceramic and natural stone offers endless design possibilities. When it comes to ease of cleaning and sanitation, no contest. I won't even bring up the cost factor. Ceramic and porcelain wins every comparison. The main reason it is the best flooring is because it is a hard surface. Soft flooring, are not as durable, scratch and may not be easy to maintain?
Anyway, there are many good choices today. Take your time.
Both are valuable floors.
The only person who is right on which is better is the consumer.
Cork has been in the library of congress for over 100 years.
Then again, tile has been installed in areas around the world for alot longer.
Planning on living in the home for 400 years?
thank you Florcraft. it IS up to the end user after all. she wants warm feet. =o) i've never had to replace a cracked or broken cork tile......
Ok so I think we are leaning cork> but now is the decision of brand. The 2 top ones seem to be Torleys and Wicanders. Any thoughts on that?????
As for the shag counters> I don't think that will work a little hard to rake up there especially when your only 5'3".
Thanks for most of the input:laughing:

In response to lingering questions about the state of Media Blasters in general and licenses like Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei in specific, founder John Sirabella has posted a rundown of what's happened at the beleaguered company, and what the plans are going forward. Get a look after the jump.
American anime distributor Media Blasters has been showing lots of signs of life lately. Retailers have been informed that Squid Girl Part 3 (Season 2) is slated for March 12, 2013. Conversely, the company has used their Facebook page to tell fans not to expect Bakuman or Rurouni Kenshin from them any time soon. More after the jump.
Capcom's new mystery adventure for 3DS Nazo Waku Yakata was released August 4th in Japan. The game uses motion and voice controls, so it's billed as an experience you can have only on the 3DS. The current issue of Famitsu features a manga-style ad with Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei characters. Check it out past the break!

The root of all benevolent actions is filial piety and fraternal love.
And so I take the opportunity of slipping it in here—just out of filial piety!
Susa-no-o's filial piety and Susa-no-o's cruelty were not easily to be reconciled.
Nevertheless her filial piety was at that moment a touching sight.
It was claimed that by choosing such subjects he had infringed the laws of filial piety.
And what is the root of all goodness but filial piety and fraternal love?
If a woman be married, it is good that she should treat her parents-in-law with filial piety, and her husband with reverence.
It was even said that in some countries the stork was the symbol for filial piety.
Then the man understood and loved his child the more for her filial piety.
Or was it genuine nature; pure filial affection and filial piety?
in Confucian thought, one of the virtues to be cultivated, a love and respect for one's parents and ancestors

Hello there people…
I'm looking forward to publish my first PSD web template. I have seen many different widths in preview images, so if anybody can tell my what is maximum allowed width…
You can provide additional preview images. They must be JPGs no larger than 900×900px, and named in the order that you want them to appear using the following format: 01_preview1.jpg, 02_preview2.jpg, 03_closeup.jpg. Create a .zip folder containing your additional preview images.
But I think you can use any size, just try to keep filesize within reasonable limits.
Yes you can use any size. 1200px, 1600px will do the trick. Or you can alternate them. If you have a page that needs a bigger width, you can try also 1920px… any other resolution bigger than that i think is unnecessary.
Thanks for fast answers, will go with 1600px I guess
I can't link it to you but i think i saw somewhere in the envato's support about preview images and there the ( strongly ) recommended was 1200px width for templates and unlimited height.
That will depend on you how your site to be shown online, but for working on themes, that is a different story. You have to work on the right specifications.

Chanel Joues Contraste in Espiegle ($42/ #65 Fard a Joues Poudre Powder Blush Espiegle) is a beautiful addition to Chanel's legendary line of Joues Contraste blushes. In the lovely pressed powder format that imparts an incredibly natural glow, Espiegle is a warm mix of peach, gold and a touch of pink.
I was pleased to see that Espiegle uses the familiar soft, finely milled powder formula that U.S. beauty lovers have come to know and love. Note that although Espiegle uses the U.S. formula, the blush is made in France.
In the pan, Espiegle has a slight gold shimmer, it is unquestionably a warm-toned blush.
Here, it swatches lighter and more coral that Chanel Joues Contraste In Love. I thought it helpful to compare it to a few other warm corals in my collection, including the more pink MAC Hipness, as well as a discontinued Bobbi Brown Coral, which also has gold shimmers (this Bobbi Brown blush is in the round pan).
Here is Espiegle on Liz, together with Chanel Rouge Allure in Flamboyante:
Liz is wearing Chanel Lift Lumiere in Ivoire, Guerlain Le 2 Mascara, a bit of bronzer as a brow powder, and Caron powder. She uses a black pencil liner on her lower lashline. She applied Espiegle a touch more than she would normally wear it, to ensure that you can see the color well on all types of computer monitors, cell phones or the like.
Another, same makeup:
Like the rest of Chanel's Spring 2011, Espiegle has a luminosity and a subtle color that looks absolutely lovely. Few blushes match the texture of the Joues Contraste blush, and Espiegle is a lovely addition to the already legendary line.

v0.4.0 released
Extended default view ranges and removed several problems with getting a good LOS.
- Default maximum range to identify vehicles increased to 3m (was 1m).
- Recognition of infantry always takes precedence over vehicles, buildings and objects, so that you can now see someone even behind a vehicle or building that you can't see.
- No longer automatically detects alliances, so ALLIES recognition now acts the same as SIDE (temporarily disabled until better solution found).
- Helipads, ammo-boxes and dropped equipment completely block LOS, to a vastly greater degree than the model implies [Reported by ATOW players].
- When standing next to a vehicle, even when not looking directly at it, you will "recognise" that vehicle rather than any other vehicle or infantry you are looking at.
- Helicopters are detected in a massively larger area than the actual body of them (that is, the "LOS" hitbox is based on the size of the rotors, not the size of the actual helicopter). This error is also found with other vehicles to a lesser extent.

Back in the 1970s, on a routine visit to a record store in New York City, Allan Evans bought an LP recorded by a Hungarian pianist whose name meant nothing to him. But the moment he heard the music, he felt like he'd discovered a "musical Tutankhamen." Sara Fishko tells the tale of how Evans unearthed the work of a extraordinary classical pianist who was nearly forgotten.

Re: LOGARITHMIC AXES
Steve I forgot to put my name at the bottom of my last
post. Maybe you could substitue this instead.
Jad Succari writes
>How do create a log axes?
There is a function LogScale that is available in the Standard
Package Graphics`Graphics`. This can be used as a setting for
the tick mark option of Graphics objects. Rather than create
log axes specifically it is often easier to use one of the commands
like ListLogPlot which come with log axes (using the LogScale
In[1]:= <<Graphics`Graphics`
In[2]:= ?LogScale
LogScale[xmin, xmax] gives a list of "nice" values between xmin and xmax
suitable for use as tick mark positions on a logarithmic scale.
LogScale[xmin, xmax, n] attempts to find n such values.
In[2]:= ?LogListPlot
LogListPlot[{y1, y2, ...}] or LogListPlot[{{x1, y1}, {x2, y2}, ...}] generates
a plot of Log[yi] against the xi.
In[2]:= LogListPlot[ {10^2, 10^3, 10^4}]

Have you ever had the chance to go to thrift stores all over a city you don't live in and experience the high of rummaging through unconquered territory?? I have to say the feeling is quite remarkable. To put it into terms a Fashionista would understand (which is not me by a long shot)…it's like getting the chance to rummage through your new friends closet and picking out what you want. Only it doesn't stop at just one. You have a day of digging through multiple friends' closets. You get to look at their scarves, shoes, shirts, skirts… and it's all yours for the taking!! Have I peaked your mind yet???
Ok now pretend you have one day to do it and only a few hours to do it in. And not only that, you are looking for something specific and times running out. Boo… yeah it's not quite the high you were hoping for and quite frankly it blows tissue puffs! (This is my new expression)
This is the scenario of what I did this past weekend. My sister Andrea and I moved our younger sister Olivia, to her new home of Austin Texas.
We got up early on Saturday morning and came back the same night, so we were limited in our "shopping around Austin" time. Once Liv gave us the list of items she still needed for her new place, we busted out my phone and mapped the top thrift stores in Austin. You KNOW I was on cloud nine when I heard about our venture. It was like someone poured coffee on me and it electrified every little tendon in my thrift store loving system. It was on!
BUT…..a few hours and over 10 thrift stores later…we found one single side chair. That's it. Nothing more. And you have to know that we were like mad women in search of a treasure!! The hardest part was that we didn't have time to really RUMMAGE through all the other goods the stores had to offer. We were on a time crunch after all ;(
It was pretty defeating not to have found what we were looking for, but it didn't take long for us to realize that at the end of the day, it didn't really matter all that much after all. Just spending the day together (like crazed women) in a new city was quite awesome! We laughed like crazy, talked about life, dreams, passions, kids, art, creativity, just about everything really. We learned a lot about each other on this little road trip even when we were delirious near the end. I found out that one sister is to espresso as I am to wine. We gave one sis a new nickname... Big Silky! We were inspired by all of what Austin has to offer (see photo below). Liv Facebooked my quote of the day "Either do what you LOVE today or want to stab your eyes our tomorrow' which was said to her when discussing following your dreams.
(Vintage awesomeness found in Liv's new home! Care of Austin Texas!!)
It was truly a great day regardless of the non-thrift store finds. What we found was more than any thrift store treasure had to offer. So here's to road trips, sisters, espresso, old school music, and quotable quotes!
Love you girls!
