Blindi (Pagan Blog Project)
(This one is a week late; I posted it on time over at my own blog, but forgot to share it here!)
Since I've already written at length about Odin in His guise of Bolverk (the face He wears in the Mead of Poetry myth cycle), and have at least touched on Bruni and Bjorn (both referring to His bear persona), for this post I decided to focus on a different B name: Blindi. This name quite obviously means "blind," and in fact there are several of His names which have to do with His eyesight, such as Tviblindi ("twice blind"), Bileygr ("feeble-eyed." or possibly "one-eyed"), and Baleygr ("blazing eye")–although the latter may have more to do with His gimlet gaze than with the loss of eyesight.
Odin's sacrifice of an eye to Mimir's Well is one of His most famous myths, second in familiarity only to His ordeal on the Tree. In Snorri's version of the tale, as well as in the Havamal section of the Poetic Edda, the transaction is a literal one: Odin wanted to drink from the Well guarded by Mimir in Jotunheim (twin to the Well of Wyrd in Asgard, and according to some views, the very same Well, which is so real and so fundamental to reality that a version of it appears in all worlds, just as with the World Tree itself) and the price named by the Well's guardian was one of His eyes. Not to be deterred, Odin obligingly, and without flinching, ripped an eye from His own head (no one can say which one, and last time I checked He wasn't telling) and handed it over. In return, He received His prize: a deep draught from the Well of Memory (Mimir)–basically, the accumulated consciousness and wisdom of all People, from all races—divine and mortal—throughout all time. What is more, Mimir then cast the severed eye into the Well, where it—according to some—continues to see, and somehow continues to transmit information back to the One who once wore it.
First of all, let me assure you that removing His own eye from His head is not something I would put past Odin even for a second; I could totally see Him doing it. After all, this is the same god who hanged Himself from the World Tree (ever thereafter known as Yggdrasil—the "steed of Ygg," aka Odin) for nine nights, after wounding Himself fatally with His own spear. Pain does not stop Him from achieving an end He has in sight, and while many of His human followers might (justifiably) accuse Him of harshness at times, there is nothing He would put any of us through that He would not (or has not already) done to Himself. That said, I'm not sure how literally we should take this particular myth. (In fact, mythic literalism is something I really need to devote a post of its own to one of these days, though I'm sure it will rear its ugly head many times during this series.) For one thing, there is no agreement among either Odinists or anyone else as to which eye was involved. Odin has appeared in my visions (and everyone else's that I've been privy to), sporting either a missing left eye, a missing right eye, or having both eyes present and accounted for–and this is apt to change from one Odin-sighting (if you'll forgive the pun) tot he next. For another thing, the tale itself seems to be less of a literal recounting of something Odin did and more of a Mystery—something to ponder in search of a deeper understanding of His divine nature, as well as a clue to assist guide those of us who would follow and emulate Him.
Now, when I say "emulate," I am not recommending that anyone—devotion to Odin notwithstanding—remove one of their eyes, either as a devotional act or in search of enlightenment. This would be less likely to result in wisdom than massive blood loss, the risk of infection, and possible death (due to the eye's very close proximity to the brain). We are not gods, and attempting to emulate Them too closely can be dangerous just as a general principle. However, if we assume that the story is symbolic rather than literal, why is it that so many of His devotees (myself included) have experienced eye pain, eye surgery, vision changes, and even sometimes blindness in one eye? And why is this such a common trend that it may as well be one of His calling cards? Is this a sign that the myth is to be taken literally, or does it mean something else entirely?
What if this is not the story of a literal trade, and not even merely a symbolic demonstration of how wise Odin is, or how much of His own blood He is willing to shed in pursuit of that wisdom, but is instead a warning: when you seek vision and understanding greater than that normally allotted to a mortal (or even to a god; the scale changes here, but the principle remains the same) you will pay a price, and that price is the loss of vision (focus, concentration, perspective) in the "ordinary" world, the world of consensus reality. Almost every devotee of Odin intends, in some way, to extend ourselves beyond our natural reach, to transgress upon territory beyond that which was given to us by the circumstances of our birth and the life we have built since then—in other words, our orlog, what we and those around us have laid down for us up until now. Like Odin Himself, we mean to push the limits of what we dare to become and achieve, and to leave the expectations and limitations placed on us by others behind us in the dust. And so, as we stand at the threshold of this journey into the unknown, we are issued a warning. This warning is sometimes translated into literal terms: eye pain, or changes in physical vision that mirror the changes taking place within. To part the veil, to see that which is invisible to all of those around us (the gods, the dead, nature spirits, the threads of wyrd), requires a bit of a trade-off: some of what the "ordinary" people around us can see quite clearly, can keep track of almost effortlessly (fashion trends, water cooler gossip, the latest news from the Tabloids) no longer makes any sense to us, and thus fades from our view. The deeper we journey into the Mysteries, the more true this becomes. And in turn, we fade from the view of many of those around us; they often simply do not see us, as we no longer fit in with consensus reality; we become fuzzy around the edges, like an image seen through water.
Perhaps this is the secret behind Odin's mastery of disguises: because He does not fit into the consensus reality even of most other immortal beings—the gods and giants, alfar and dwarves—it is a simple matter for Him to bend their gaze, to make them see Him as He wishes to be seen, or not at all. But we'll talk more about that a bit later in the year, when we get to G.

Futures Point to Lower Open
U.S. stocks are tipped to open lower Tuesday, weighed down by weak sessions in Asia and Europe despite strong earnings from Apple and Texas Instruments after Monday's close, says David Morrison, strategist at GFT.
Mr. Morrison calls the DJIA down 30 points at 10,167 and the S&P 500 down 7 at 1090. "Markets feel more fragile than they have since the summer, and investors are concerned that corporate earnings and market fundamentals are just not strong enough to justify current prices," he says.
On the earnings front, DuPont, Verizon, Johnson & Johnson and Yahoo, are all set to report. The day's economic calendar features S&P/Case Shiller house price data and consumer confidence data.

I also enjoy reading, gardening, cooking, spending time with my kids and grandkids, and enjoying the company of close friends.
Music, theatre and people. My family is very important, and I have three grandsons whom I adore. My friends are also important, but I count true friends as rare treasures. I'm very friendly and outgoing, so have many acquaintances...but true friends???...those are precious and modest in number.
I give great dinner parties!
Good food and good wine
Music and theatre
A comfortable home
Intelligent and witty conversation
Seeing the beauty in the world around us and appreciating the simple things in life.
In return, I don't care if you are short, bald, big, bearded, or clean cut, as long as you are well groomed and a man of integrity and kindness....a great sense of humor is a necessity!

North Beach
Tyler (Casey Peterson) just cheated on his girlfriend, Paige (Jennifer Milmore), with a 19-year-old stripper, and now he has to cover his tracks. But that's easier said than done, because everyone knows everyone else's business in tight-knit North Beach. Tyler desperately tries to do some damage control, but his misfit friends keep sucking him into their agenda of party crashing, coffee bingeing and chain smoking. What's a slacker to do?

Published: June 6, 2011 at 11:15 AMHow many attractions? 12 or more?
Published: June 6, 2011 at 11:27 AMNo indiana and stars tour in this game, I think
Published: June 6, 2011 at 1:53 PMSeems like a fun game. Ill ask for it this Christmas, but Im just going to call is Disney Parks Adventures, because this can be referring to any Magic Kingdom/Disneyland.
Published: June 6, 2011 at 2:25 PMWow, this is a fantasy project come true! This is for all of us that can't actually go to a Disney Park as often as we'd like in real life. Bravo.
Published: June 6, 2011 at 3:13 PMMeh, it looks more like that one Gamecube game based on Universal Studios, which got very bad reviews, BTW. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Universal's parks, but the new Disneyland game looks like a repeat of it.
Published: June 6, 2011 at 6:44 PMLet's add up the score, shall we?
The Jungle Cruise is the greatest attraction EVER!
Tom Hanks and Tim Allen will make the Jungle Cruise the greatest movie EVER!
And now the Jungle Cruise (albeit in Disneyland) will be the greatest video game EVER?!
Hip(po), Hip(po), Hooray!
Published: June 6, 2011 at 7:42 PMAww man! I just remembered that the Universal game on Gamecube was terrible. IDK how this will turn out. BTW, Fist Bump! Thats the funniest E3 moment yet XD
Published: June 7, 2011 at 5:41 AMNice, my girls will love playing this. And when they go to bed, I can pop in Gears of War III
Published: June 7, 2011 at 10:32 AMReminds me of the old NES game Adventures in the Magic Kingdom. Loved that game...
We've come a long way since 8-bit games, I'd say.

If I understand this correctly, Ryan Reynolds as Green Lantern wears a costume for filming and it's filled with sensors for all that digital and special effects gimmickry. But this photo for the official magazine of receptionists (which is owned by the same Time Warner parent company as Warner Bros in an obvious bit of synergy) shows Reynolds in a getup digitally painted onto his body. Lame or not?
Is The New Photo Of Green Lantern Lame?
94 Comments
Does this really matter? I mean really worth a post?
Yes. Lame. CG suits were the way of Spawn.
Lame. I don't know if it's the CGI or the compositing or the weird lighting mismatch between his head and his body, but the overall effect is smack in the middle of the Uncanny Valley.
The suit looks like it might be cool in motion, though. I can't tell.
Yes, this is lame.
If Warner Bros execs and everyone working on this film have not screened DAREDEVIL they need to make sure it's on their agenda……
Yea, totally, this movie just screams DAREDEVIL. Dusting off a minor comic book superhero that is based on a ridiculous premise, has a ridiculous costume, casting a big star on the rise and thinking people will see any superhero movie thrown at them. I think this is going to be an embarrassment for Ryan Reynolds even if the movie does okay, at least when he looks back in a few years.
I remember when we were little in the 80's into comic books and toys, even then I thought the Green Lantern was a lame hero. When we'd be playing with our superhero toys the kid that got stuck with the Green Lantern toy was the one who got shafted that day.
Next up: a "Robin Begins" movie with Zac Efron as the boy wonder.
I always WANTED the Green Lantern. I think it's a great story and character. Don't know yet about the movie, and though I'm not thrilled about the design in the above pic, I don't agree with you at all about whether or not the movie is worthwhile. I definitely think it is.
Your post shows how VERY little you know of the character or it's current popularity.
not lame. i don't know why you think it is.
Relatively speaking, it's fantastic when compared to the costumes for Marvel's Thor movie.
Cover Not Lame, Making a Green Lantern Movie, LAME
For comic book geeks like myself, Green lantern is the worst character since Ben afflecks Daredevil, with movies like THOR, Capt America and the comic movie of all comic movies THE AVENGERS on the way, Warner is stupid to put this out.
Plus the the comic geeks wanted Will Smith to play G.L ( as rumored) being the Green Lantern everyone likes is Black.
Really? Green Lantern is a top tier book at DC, an epic storyline that can easily justify a trilogy AND an animated series (that's coming). A lot of these characters are only as good as their writers or artists (Daredevil in its prime can knock the socks off a superman book), and the features fare exactly the same way. I could care less about Iron Man, and look what Favreau and Downey, Jr. did there.
I learned long ago not to judge early photos, no matter how sanctioned they are. Even good photos lead to Spiderman 3. I want to see it in motion.
And THIS comic geek never wanted a Jon Steward (Will Smith, Common) green lantern until Hal Jordan got his due, and right now that's Ryan Reynolds.
You sir are a A-class moron. SHOW ME a online post where GL fans clamored for Will Smith to play John Stewart! The fans wanted Nathan Fillion and you know it. Only reasons he wasn't in the running was that no one knew his name, he was too old and Warners would never have bet a $200+ movie franchise on a 2nd tier superhero with a star no one knows. No one cared about Brandon Routh or Christopher Reeve being Superman because it was fucking SUPERMAN!
PS – If you think THOR of all movies with Kenneth (SNORE) Branagh directing and fucking Anthony Hopkins doing his best Liam Neeson in CLASH impression is a better movie that a movie about intergalactic space police, you're as dumb as i think you are. Go read up on your norse mythology, cuz I sure as hell won't! I want to stay awake.
Green Lantern has been continuously published since the 1960's in its current form. The basic characters are still loved today. The concept, the character, and the basic situation work, not the least of which is they were all laid out back when writers still had a connection to ordinary people and pulp energy.
A crummy director, bad acting, and stupid script changes can make Hamlet into the Schwarzenegger parody in Last Action Hero. Frank Miller made a lame, second rate hero (Daredevil) into one of Marvel's faves.
Sure, the movie can stink. Brandon Routh and Bryan Singer's Superman movie stunk, not the least of which was remaking the character into a Gay Christ parable. But Green Lantern is right there with Superman, Batman, the Flash, and Wonder Woman as a fan favorite and the DC Animated folks have shown how much one can do with the character.
@ development
I would respond but im sure you're just another out of work wanna be waiting tables hosting Oscar parties in his upstairs apartment
I make Films.
We should probably wait until we see some actual footage, yeah?
I couldn't disagree more with you about Green Lantern, though. Geoff Johns has completely re-energized the series and made Green Lantern one of the best reads out there. Besides, let's not even start with John Stewart being the "popular" Lantern. He's on the same level as Guy Gardner and Kyle Rayner.
I can't believe I just spent part of my Friday night arguing Green Lantern…
That is ridiculous. What has been the #1 Selling Series? The Blackest Night (Green Lantern). Green Lantern is a Top Tier character. So while this magazine cover does not look that great, don't hate on a character that is so popular. Clearly, you do not know what you are talking about.
The Green Lanterns are a bunch of kick your door in space cops. The Lantern comics feature fast action, sprawling space settings, and extensive back story.
A Green Lantern series done right could rival Star Wars in scope. Such a trilogy would have room for half a dozen a-list actors to suit up in green. But the most fitting character to start such an epic story would be either Hal Jordan or Alan Scott, the classics.
Does this film live up to that kind of potential? I dunno. But the Green Laterns have that potential.
That's a lot of Photoshop just to make Ryan Reynolds into Ben Stiller.
It looks like a green, cheap version of the suits from The Cell.
Haven't thought of that movie in a while…..uuhhhhh
I read GL back in the day (during high school) but I'm not a Comic-Con person. (I left comics behind in high school.)
But this suit looks too "digitized." It doesn't feel like a real suit.
Maybe a real suit would look too dorky but it didn't seem to hurt Spiderman or Superman.
Hopefully this is just a rushed CGI thing for press.
Hardly a "controversy" (when have fanboys ever been 100% satisfied with anything?) when a costume is slightly tweaked from a static medium like comics to make allowance for how the outfit will actually look in motion on the big screen. Thus the digital makeover. I grew up reading GL in the mid 60's, and nothing I've seen or read yet about this production makes me think this won't be a home run for Martin Campbell and Warner Bros next summer.
Who cares? Next!
"Official magazine of receptionists"? There's the author's not-so-hidden bias right there, taking a shot at the mag that employs Ausiello who regularly smokes her edit team.
What's lame is asking us to believe that's his body. And I'm an optimist.
Wow! Seth Rogen looks great! But where is Kato?
I laughed at that one!
yay. magical jewelry. :|
The well is empty.
His ring has nothing to do with magic at all, it's alien technology. If you're gonna be a critic, at least know what you're talking about.
Love Green Lantern, Love Comics, Love Movies. Hate hate hate CG fake GL suit. Looks like a giant mood ring suit.
Well said G. My sentiments exactly. I was already expecting this film to set a new record for most CGI scenes but now having seen that suit I wish they kept it real. LAME in my book.
I think the mistake here was revealing the suit as a still image instead of in some sort of brief teaser — seeing a CGI suit in action would have been a much, much better first impression. Perhaps when it's in motion, it doesn't look as fake? If I recall, Gollum in LOTR was revealed first in motion, not as a still. (I may be wrong about that but I think my first impression of him was in motion…aside from the brief, in-the-shadows shots of him from Fellowship…)
Lamer than lame.
That's Receptionist with a capital R, thank you!
green lantern is a fantastic hero and perfectly suited for today's special effects possibilities. Not only is the GL ring wickedly cool, it'd power is only limited to the wearer's imagination and willpower. And not to mention, the awesomeness of the GL oath: "in brightedt day, in blackest night, no evil shall escape my sight. Let those who worship evil's might, beware my power…green lantern's light!" so cool. Looking forward to the flick. That being said…not sold on the costume. We'll see…..
Look, Ryan Reynolds is lame. There is no way any pic of him could be not lame. Stop it.
"…for the official magazine of receptionists" ha, ha, ha, ha. Love Nikki Finke.
Look lame. This movie is gonna be a dud.

Iribarren called up as Gwynn hits DL
Brewers make move to ensure bench has left-handed bat
By Adam McCalvy / MLB.com | April 10, 2008 10:22 AM ET
MILWAUKEE -- After Hernan Iribarren got the news that he was headed to the big leagues for the first time, he phoned home to his parents in Venezuela. "My dad couldn't even talk," Iribarren said as he unpacked a Nashville Sounds duffel bag at Miller Park on Thursday. "He was so excited." Whether it is a short look or an extended stay remains to be seen. The Brewers, no longer willing to play a man short while outfielder Tony Gwynn, Jr. rehabs a hamstring strain, promoted the 23-year-old Iribarren from Triple-A Nashville on Wednesday night and placed Gwynn on the disabled list. The team's expectations for Iribarren lay primarily in his bat. Like Gwynn, he's a left-handed hitter with speed, though he's not nearly as slick in the outfield. Iribarren was a second baseman until last summer, when the Brewers decided to increase his versatility by introducing him to the outfield. On Thursday morning, Brewers manager Ned Yost said he would use Iribarren defensively, "if it were a dire emergency." Gabes Gross and Kapler will continue to platoon in center field while Mike Cameron serves his suspension. Iribarren may be a work in progress in the field, but he can certainly hit. He batted .324, with a .382 on-base percentage in his first six Minor League seasons, and was hitting .348 (8-for-23) in Nashville's first seven games this season. He played his first three games in left field, and has spent the last three games in center. The Brewers typically groom their Triple-A outfielders to play multiple positions so they can tab a hot bat when one is needed. Iribarren got the call over Laynce Nix, who was hitting .296 through seven games, and possesses similar speed with a reputation as a polished defender. Nix, though, is not currently on the 40-man roster. Gwynn's DL assignment was backdated to April 4, meaning he's eligible to return on April 19. "You can't continue playing short," Yost said. "Will [Gwynn] be ready in two or three days? Do you gamble, let him go out there and blow it? Or do you take the [nine] days and take the extra player? You look at some of the games going on; you look at the Cubs playing 15 [innings] last night. You can't get caught short for that kind of game." Gwynn understood the reasoning behind the move. "I kind of expected it," Gwynn said Wednesday night. "We sat on it for, what, six games now? I'm not lying to you guys when I say it's improving every day. It's just not to the point where it's 100 percent, and I need it to be 100 percent so I can help this team." Gwynn said he would not travel with the team Thursday night to New York, but would join the team next week in St. Louis. Cameron is also expected to travel from Phoenix to St. Louis to spend time with the team.

doxo is announcing Friday that a number of major healthcare provider systems have signed up to send medical bills and receive patient payments through the online service. According to Doxo, its new clients comprise 40 hospitals and 3,000 physicians, and include Saint Luke's Health System, Advocate Health Care and Advocate Medical Group, Novant Health, Northwestern Memorial Hospital, University of Illinois Medical Center, Rockford Health System, and Rush-Copley Medical Center.

The key is the key no matter what format it is in it will still work. If you guys set the key then you should know what it is
Hello! English is not my first language so please forgive me if I dont express correcctly.
Ok, i want to tell you people a little story. I love computers, and my brother knows it. We are continually betting, like i bet you cant write a program that does this, i bet you cant do that etc.
Yesterday he created an AP. He comes to me and says i bet you cant get in my AP. I say sure i can (he didnt know i have bactrack as my ally, stupid of him ). So i get to it. I boot my BT3 live cd and start the penetration, using aircrack, aireplay, airodump etc. This is not the first time i crack WEP's, this is not the first time i use linux (i'm writing in the newbie area because ive just registeredin the forum ¬¬) so i know what im doing.
I have the laptop running all night, and the this morning the key is found.
HERE comes the problem. you see, ive found two tipes of keys in my WEP crackings: ASCII ones like:
Decrypted correctly: 100%
and decimal keys like:
Decrypted correctly: 100%(it didnt showed me the ASCII value so i supposed watching the numbers, that they were decimal)
but the one i found this morning is like this:
Decrypted correctly: 100%
ok, i can see this is hexadecimal too. But when i was using aircrack i specified that i wanted it to show me the ASCII value. What type of key is this?Its not ASCII. I tried converting that string of hex to decimal, but it isnt the password either.
How can i know what type of password it is? i mean, when can i know when its ASCII or decimal? What password is this?
That would be all for now
I would really appreciate some help here. Thanks.
The key is the key no matter what format it is in it will still work. If you guys set the key then you should know what it is

In a joint statement, Madonna and Guy Ritchie dub earlier report of them reaching a 76 million dollars divorce settlement as "misleading and inaccurate."
Estranged couple, Madonna and Guy Ritchie, issued a joint statement Wednesday, December 17, pouring cold water to recent report claiming they have reached financial settlement in the divorce with the singer agreeing to pay the film director between $76 million and $92 million. It was the singer's longtime spokeswoman, Liz Rosenberg, who confirmed that matter to the Associated Press.
Contrary to the claim, Madonna and Guy stated in their joint statement, "We have tried to maintain a dignified silence regarding the details of our divorce for the last few months whilst accepting the obvious media interest." They continued, "A misleading and inaccurate statement, specifically in relation to the sums of money involved, was wrongly issued to AP this week."
Despite the denial, both of them didn't spill the beans on the details of their divorce though. "The financial details of the settlement will remain private, save to say that both of us are happy with our agreement," they claimed. "Our primary concern, like any co-parents, is the care and well being of our children."
Madonna, 50, and Guy Ritchie, 40, were married in a lavish ceremony in Scotland in December 2000. Their divorce was confirmed by her representative, Liz Rosenberg, in October 2008. Granted a preliminary "quickie divorce" on November 21 in the High Court of London, the pair is expected to have their divorce finalized in January 2009.

For John Leusenkamp, helping rescue four children from a burning car brought accolades and, yesterday, a bravery award. But the action has also delivered him plenty of heartache.
After pulling two of the children out of a car seconds before it exploded on a Sunday night in August he felt drawn to visit them in hospital as they battled horrific burns.
For the burly father of a girl, 12, the four children involved in the accident became "like family". When one of the boys, Chad Clay, 9 lost his struggle to survive one month later, it hit his rescuer hard.
"I was broken-hearted," an emotional Mr Leusenkamp explained yesterday.
He was speaking after receiving a Community Hero award from the Metropolitan Ambulance Service at Parliament House for his bravery in climbing into the burning car to get to Chad and his brother Ashley, 7, who were covered in flames.
The boys were in a car driven by their father Peter 41, with their sisters Rebecca 11, and Jessica, 12, when it exploded into a fireball in Cranbourne North on August 25.
Mr Leusenkamp, who lives in the area, was nearby when the car exploded and immediately jumped to help, suffering a burnt hand as he freed the boys from the car.
Another resident, Eric Holmes, doused Chad with water.
He also received a Community Hero award.
Mr Leusenkamp said receiving the award "makes you feel good. But what tops it off, was seeing Ashley come home."
The boy, just released from hospital, was at the presentation, together with his heavily bandaged sisters.
Mr Leusenkamp said counselling had assisted in banishing the vision of the burning car and screams that kept replaying in his mind,"but being around the kids has helped", he said.
The children's mother, Lynette Clay said of the men's awards: "They are two great men for what they did. They could have lost their own lives."
She said when Ashley asked her: "Do I look different?", she reassured him, "You're still Ashley inside." His ears were burnt off in the fire and he will have to wait until he is 17 to have plastic surgery.
The children find it hard to understand why they cannot go outside to play. Mrs Clay dreads the onset of summer when she will need to install shade cloth over the back yard because of the high risk of skin cancer that follows their skin grafts.
Among the other 22 recipients of the awards were economics tutor Bradley Thompson and administrative staff manager Colin Thornby, who went to assist econometrics lecturer Lee Gordon-Brown and student Laurie Brown after they were shot at Monash University last month.
Mr Thompson, 24, said his two years with the Army Reserve guided him when he entered the room and took guns and a knife off the subdued gunman.
Mr Gordon-Brown, at the presentation in a wheelchair, had been shot twice. Mr Thompson concentrated on trying to staunch his heavy bleeding and keep him conscious.
Mr Gordon-Brown, who also grabbed the shooter before collapsing, said Mr Thompson saved his life by treating him for shock, applying pressure bandages and keeping his injured leg elevated.
Mr Thompson, who was back at work the next day, said there was an air of unreality at the campus at having to face "the fact that violence could occur in a place of learning".
Mr Gordon-Brown said: "It was just a normal class." He said he knew straight away what was happening when a student starting firing but not why.
"I do not think that the university or any of the staff did anything wrong, that we all looked after that kid very well."
He is starting work tomorrow.

Innovation Policy (IPE)
Scott Stern, Director
The NBER's Innovation Policy (IPE) Working Group seeks to foster research by economists and other social scientists on the interactions between public policy and the innovation process, and to provide communication mechanisms between researchers and the policy community. Interactions between and among researchers and others working in government, business, and non-profit organizations can improve the timeliness, policy-relevance, and focus of academic research. At the same time, easier access to the findings of policy-oriented research can improve public policy decision-making. In keeping with general NBER traditions, the Group's activities involve many policy issues and provide useful information without making policy recommendations.

[5/13/08] Southwestern has been to the MCLA National tournament every year since its inception in 2005. Every year the team has been discarded in the first round. In fact, over the years and games at Nationals,the Bucs have managed only one win in a consolation game a couple of years ago.
If you were to talk to, well, EVERYBODY ELSE, Southwestern should have been one of the worst teams at Nationals once again this year. No one gave the Bucs a chance to win the game against the #7 Ft. Lewis Skyhawks ( a team the Bucs narrowly lost to last year in a consolation game-but who's counting). Lewis, you see if from the powerhouse RMLC D2 conference, full of multiple teams in the top 25, and all much better than the Bucs.
The problem is that someone forgot to tell the Bucs they didn't belong, that they weren't good enough, that they not only had no chance of winning, but that they could not beat a team that played so well against soo many top 25 teams all year.
All season long, the Bucs knew they were a team that was evolving at best. With a strong mix of many players with great experience and many more that were not only new to lacrosse, but new to the game, the Bucs took pride in every game they played (maybe they took a day off against a very good Texas Tech ;-)). While not every game was a win in the scoreboard, that was not the only goal as the season progressed.
While nationally the Bucs did not receive a lot of attention for the positive things they were doing, and with a mediocre record, one cannot blame them, a true fan would have to dig deeper to see the games we did play and the teams we did lose to in order to get a full assessment of our team by the end of the year. If they had, they would have realized that the meager 7-6 record was much more promising for a chance for an "upset" at Nationals than one might figure at first glance.
The Bucs knew that the Skyhawks had offensive weapons all over the field. Over the past several years, their coach and the players have put together a nice string of solid victories against some of the best in the nation. However, the Bucs idd not have Jr. Attackman Andrew Webb at nationals last year. This year, along with him, they had a group of seniors that had been throttled by San Diego and Montana, and had learned quite a bit from these experiences.
This year, despite what everyone else in the nation thought, the Bucs truly had a chip on their shoulder, even if it was self imposed. They were out to prove they not only belonged, but that people everywhere had grossly underestimated them as a team.
As if this wasn't enough, the Bucs received all the motivation they would need when shortly after the game started a defender at midfield got caught standing flat footed on a goalie clear over his head leaving McDonough one on one. The attackman decided to make a point of pointing where he was going to shoot the ball before scoring. While this was a classy move in and of itself, the goal fired the Bucs up. While the first quarter was largely spent in transition and on the defensive side of the field, the Skyhawks were able to capitalize only twice in the first, at one point taking a 2-0 lead before Senior Bryson Wersonske notched a great shot in front of the crease to bring the Bucs to within one before the quarter expired.
As the 2nd stanza began, the Bucs took control, rolling off 6 goals to Ft. Lewis's 2, to take a 7-4 lead into halftime. At one point, the Bucs lead 6-2 before Ft. Lewis scored two quick ones to bring the score to 6-4. Even with a lightning delay, the Bucs were able to maintain the focus in what was literally 100% humidity and continue to outrun the Skyhawks all over the field. Webb and the attack came alive in the second quarter along with the middies and Jake at LSM, who pretty much controlled the area between the two boxes for the rest of the day.
Not to be outdone, Cole Claiborn, Mcdonough, Carney and Fletch all played phenomenal the entire day, limiting the good looks the Ft. Lewis attackmen had and minimizing any chance they might have at making a comeback. Cole, who has been on somewhat of a scoring spree as of late, scoring in every playoff game this year, was arguably one of the better defenders in D2 that No one knew. Not only was he a shut down man, but is ability to help clear and gain possession in unsettled situations made our transition offense, our strength, that much better.
By the time the 3rd quarter started, the Bucs decided to forego their usual 3 quarter dudrums and raise the pressure a little, extending their lead and never having the game get closer than a 3 goal lead the rest of the day. The entire team was able to capitalize on the Skyhawks and play a game that the Bucs are also very good at, i.e. the run and gun transition offense.
Despite my efforts to the contrary in practice and in games all year, this is what defined us and we executed very well all day. Ft. Lewis did not have the answers for Webb, who notched 7 goals on the day and the rest of the Bucs offense. Our face off men were able to win more than they lost and Jake and the middies were able to control anything in the middle of the field for most of the rest of the day.
At one point the Bucs held a 6 point lead before the Skyhawks, who fought to the end scored a couple of more to bring the final to 12-8. As the clock clicked off its final seconds, the Bucs realized they had accomplished everything they set out to do, and the seniors, part of some epic journeys at Nationals the past few years, had become hardened warriors with a story to place in the Annals of Southwestern Lacrosse to go along with their 24-0 undefeated conference record. They also won the first ever regular season out of conference game, the first ever game at Nationals (consolation) and the first ever game at Nationals in the winners bracket taking them to a date with GVSU, the #2 team in the nation in the Quarterfinals.
Every single person on the team from Irish, Bryson, and Webb at attack, to the entire defense, and ALL the middies really had an impact on the game. For a team founded on hustle and emotion, this was the game I knew they could play all year. They played it exactly when they needed or wanted to depending on who you ask.
The Bucs left that day, not only having made history, but knowing that this was something they would never forget. As the players say on the team. LIOTF. On this day, they did, and there was no stopping them.

U.S. Marine Faces Less-Than-Honorable Discharge After Criticizing Obama on Facebook
Tiffany Kaiser
April 9, 2012 9:36 AM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
(Source: boston.com)
A Marine review board has recommended the dismissal
A United States Marine may be dismissed from the military for posting negative comments about U.S. President Barack Obama on Facebook.
Gary Stein, 26, a meteorologist at Camp Pendleton, posted on Facebook that he refused to follow orders given by Obama. These
comments were posted on a Facebook page
called the Armed Forces Tea Party.
This isn't Stein's first bout of trouble in the military. The Marine, who has served almost nine years including a tour of duty in Iraq, also got in trouble for comments that he posted on the Armed Forces Tea Party page back in 2010. At that point, he was simply told to put a disclaimer on the page saying that it was in no way affiliated with the U.S. military.
But this time, the Marines believe Stein has gone too far. After posting that he refused to follow Obama's orders, Stein later removed the comments saying that he meant only unlawful orders.
Now, a Marine Corps review board has ruled that Stein should be dismissed with a less-than-honorable discharge for his Facebook comments. This decision came after a 13-hour hearing and one hour deliberation by the board.
This recommendation will be sent to Brigadier General Daniel Yoo, who is commanding general of the Marine Corps Recruiting Depot. He is then expected to make a decision regarding Stein's fate within 30 days.
The Marines are taking Stein's actions very seriously, considering the fact that Marines take an oath to defend the Constitution and obey the Uniform Code of Military Justice, which means Marines cannot partake in political activities while in uniform.
Stein was due to either re-enlist or end his enlistment at the end of July.
This particular case is just another reminder that social media is being watched very closely by overheads such as employers and schools. For instance, employees and applicants at the Maryland Department of Corrections were
forced to hand over their Facebook emails and passwords
so that employers could take a look at their employees' private lives. Later, the government simply asked employees to log into their Facebook pages right in front of them. In addition, an Indiana high school student was recently
expelled for posting foul language on Twitter
, even though he supposedly tweeted it from home.
"We're Apple. We don't wear suits. We don't even own suits." -- Apple CEO Steve Jobs

I suggest to increase the propellant burning gas effect during the missile flight, allowing to keep seeing the missile until impact and to correct it more easily.
currently the TOW missile burning gas are only visible during the first 200m, and completely disappear afterward, while it should stay visible.
the AT5 missile (bmp2) also has the same problem since the missile range limitation has been fixed. (tracer was clearly visible before)

i'm thinking about a kind of effect similar to ACE.

A comparison video would be of help :)
ACE tracers consist of particles drop along missile's path. They may not be prettiest, but certainly are functional.
Updated by cyrilator over 5 years ago
exact, it's this functionnal part that is missing in vanila. we can't know where is the missile during flight, burning gas should be more visible.
also note that the TOW in this video doesn't make bouncing movements like in vanila when launched.
so, ACE parameters are optimum.

To be honest, in this video, AFTER the launch I can see absolutely nothing emitted by the missile during the flight (except for a red light on the back).
So you're sure you don't mean the launch itself needs more smoke?

it's not the launch moment that is faulty, but the following part of the missile flight, ingame the missile becomes nearly invisible after 200m, making very hazardous to compensate or to adjust the missile trajectory (for moving targets for example).
Updated by cyrilator over 5 years ago
This is how the real TOW missile looks like during flight. start at 0:26.
The fix would consist to add a kind of little fireball effect to the missile, like in the video link.
the AT5 missile (bmp2) already has this kind of fireball effect (maybe a bit too big) with the v1.60 final, but it's missing with the latest beta enabled.

The red "tracer" is made on purpose by the missile to be able to guide it I was told.


text: Politics 3 May 1999 What does the British Museum plan to do with all those severed penises? Sign up for our weekly email * I suspected the conversation was spinning out of control when Geoff started on about Victorian penises. Until then I'd been rather satisfied with the first meeting of Paradox, our new conversation club. Simon's opening discussion paper on the effect of information technology on our business and social lives had perhaps leaned a little too heavily on the difficulties he'd had trying to get his Powerbook fixed, but the debate afterwards had been vigorous and well-informed. Paradox is Julie's idea and owes a great deal to her quantum theory of conversation, which maintains that all properly functioning adults have a biological need for social interaction: some may require 30 minutes of conversation a day, others the best part of two hours. But if these demands are not met because of such social developments as the silent IT office, excessive television viewing or the lamentable British predilection for living entirely alone, then there will be pathological side-effects. Julie has evidence, for example, that there has been a 22 per cent increase in the number of people who wander around our streets speaking to no one but themselves. My interest in Paradox has a slightly different theoretical trajectory. It's not so much the lack of conversation that troubles me as the increasing tendency for all serious talk to regress towards the mundane. On more occasions than I care to remember I've sat and watched complex discussions punctured by nothing more than a pun, a facetious remark, an old joke, or the type of silly fact that should be reserved for a Ripley annual. Which is why Rule 3 of Paradox insists that "Conversation at the club meetings (with the exception of the Christmas party) should persistently strive to transcend the banality of everyday chit-chat". But on Wednesday night I could see night that the horse had already bolted. On the back of a conversation about the increasing tendency of museums to transform themselves into theme parks, Geoff had squeezed in the news that the British Museum had a large cabinet entirely filled with the penises that were knocked off prominent public statues by Victorian prudes. A curator friend had not only confessed to the existence of this locker but had told Geoff in confidence that a campaign might shortly be mounted with the aim of restoring all of these severed cocks to their original sites. This would involve issuing a catalogue carrying photographs of the castrated artefacts and an invitation to the public to suggest possible matches. There was even a proposed logo for the project: a portrait of a single unattached member and the legend: "Is this one big enough for Hercules?" From then on it was all downhill. Simon got a few cheap laughs talking about the problem of organ rejection by statues which felt they'd been inappropriately downsized, and Louise piled in with a singularly revolting story about an acid-bath murderer called Haigh who made a habit of visiting local pubs and showing complete strangers sets of nipples he'd removed from his victims before popping them into the hydrochloric. It was only the first meeting of the Paradox Club and one must expect a short learning period in which members wean themselves off more traditional conversational habits. But I'd have felt far more optimistic about the future if the evening hadn't ended with Geoff managing to persuade everyone in the room to join him in a spirited rendition of what he described as the best-loved musical celebration of dismemberment: "I Left My Heart in San Francisco".

One of the greatest philosophers of the East, Al Ghazali, wrote in A.D. 1111: 'Everything that exceeds its limit changes into its opposite.' This is the core idea that I would like to convey to my students. As lawyers and legal educators, we are obliged to first recognize and then pursue justice. However, that pursuit must be tempered by reason and an ability to see the limitations of any position. We must realize that blind pursuit of any cause, ideology, or goal can turn a just cause into an unjust one.

The Story of Charlotte's Web
The Story of Charlotte's Web
E. B. White's Eccentric Life in Nature and the Birth of an American Classic
By Michael Sims
Walker & Company, Hardcover, 9780802777546, 307pp.
Publication Date: June 7, 2011
In The Story of Charlotte's Web Michael Sims's shows how E. B. White solved what critic Clifton Fadiman once called "the standing problem of the juvenile-fantasy writer: how to find, not another Alice, but another rabbit hole." By mining the raw ore of his childhood in Mount Vernon, New York, in the first decade of the twentieth century, White translated his own passions and contradictions, delights and fears, into a book that would be read the world over. Building on a visit to White's farm in Maine, viewing his handwritten first draft of Charlotte's Web, Michael Sims chronicles White's animal-rich childhood, his writing about urban nature for the New Yorker, his scientific research into how spiders spin webs and lay eggs, his friendship with his legendary editor, Ursula Nordstrom, the composition and publication of his masterpiece, and his ongoing quest to recapture an enchanted childhood.
"Immensely charming"—Boston Globe"A fine stylist, Mr. Sims portrays these scenes with a beauty and an economy of language that would make the co-author of The Elements of Style proud."—Wall Street Journal "Thorough...clear, direct and concise...a lovely and empathetic testament to E.B. White's vision."—The Washington Post "The Story of Charlotte's Web is a paean to a great work and a window into the uniquely gifted man who created it."—Christian Science Monitor "Sims offers an affectionate homage to E.B. White"—Entertainment Weekly "An engaging, distilled, highly focused biography of White"—Salon "Built on revealing glimpses"—USA Today "A really lovely book"—Science Friday "Unpacks the appeal of Charlotte's Web"—Smithsonian "Goes back to Zuckerman's farm"—Vanity Fair "A pocket biography"—Chicago Sun-Times "Beautifully written and researched, the book is well worth anyone's time"—Monica Edinger, Huffington Post "An affectionate biography…Packed with the same kind of sensory detail its subject reveled in, this account is an honorable addition to the literature of letters."—Kirkus Reviews
In his new book, The Story of Charlotte's Web, writer Michael Sims traces the life of E.B. White. From White's childhood in suburban New York and rural Maine, to his adult years as a New Yorker writer, Sims shows how White's experiences in nature shaped his classic novel. More at NPR.org

PARIS, Nov. 22, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Researchers from the Quotium Seeker Research Center identified a security flaw in Facebook privacy controls. The vulnerability allows attackers to see the friends list of any user on Facebook. This attack is carried out by abusing the 'People You May Know' mechanism on Facebook, which is the mechanism by which Facebook suggests new friends to users.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20131122/PH22080LOGO )
With attacks being on the rise, Facebook is often targeted by hackers for the information it possesses. Users rely on Facebook to maintain their privacy to the best of Facebook's ability.
FB responded that: "If you don't have friends on Facebook and send a friend request to someone who's chosen to hide their complete friend list from their timeline, you may see some friend suggestions that are also friends of theirs. But you have no way of knowing if the suggestions you see represent someone's complete friend list." However, research of this issue has shown that most of the friends list, often hundreds of friends, is available to the attacker. In any case, even a partial friends list is a violation of user-chosen privacy controls.
Since this vulnerability renders the privacy control to hide friend's lists from other users irrelevant, we hope Facebook will change its mind and this flaw will be addressed.
For technical details see http://www.quotium.com/research/advisories/Facebook_Vulnerability_Discloses_Private_Friends_list.php
Irene Abezgauz, VP Product Management at Quotium and Seeker Research Center leader is credited with the discovery of this vulnerability.

Generic parts guys advice is a complete waste of time guys. They are just trying to sell you a product that you won't bring back to the store because they squeal or fall apart in a year, while maximizing profit.
This is an enthusiast website. You're trying to push an inferior product in front of people that wouldn't buy anything but oil and wipers for their BMW from the napa or pep boys you sell jobber parts out of. I think most of us do our own brakes, but if we didnt we most likely wouldn't use a shop that buys parts from your store either.
Wow! a lot of assumptions and undue hostility bro.. I am not trying to steal your obviously much coveted status here. The OP asked for info on pads that produce less dust than OE pads and I offered a couple of viable and completely appropriate suggestions. I fail to understand that because YOU don't like them, my (VERY educated) opinion is somehow negated.
How is it that knowing nothing about me you assume I am a "generic parts guy"? I have spent more than half my life in automotive and have done everything from delivery driver, counter sales, wholesale sales, purchasing, inventory management, customer relations, machinist, lower management, upper management, AR/AP, human resources, payroll, IT/network administrator, CFO and CEO. I have attended countless tech seminars, product development consortiums, toured numerous manufacturing facilities and as a VERY pertinent side note, I have also been a European parts specialist/consultant. Not to mention being in close relationships with more automotive experts that I could possibly count. I do this stuff all day, every day. Our facility is privately held and the largest, most successful operation of it's kind in Colorado Springs and we didn't get that way by being a typical Pep Boys, Autozone type of robot operated, generic chain. Where do you get your highly self elevated expertise and credibility?
I personally don't care one iota if anyone here ever buys any of the products that I have recommended but I will say that anyone that does buy parts from me has FULL, no questions asked satisfaction backing. I get maybe two to three people a YEAR that bring back parts that they aren't happy with. You know why? First, because some people are never happy with anything (shoe fit?) and second, because I know cars and parts and I don't recommend parts that I think they will be unhappy with.
Also, I know this is an enthusiast website and guess what? I joined because I'm an enthusiast. I may be new to you but I'm not new to this. There are many flavors of enthusiasts in case you are too self absorbed for that to register. Some like to track, some like to street race, some like to cruise, some like to tour and so on. I have recommended products that certain segments of this enthusiast site would be very happy with. I know this because I'm happy with them and I'm an enthusiast. Would I recommend Akebonos or Posi-Quiets for the track? Absolutely not! Would I recommend them for WHAT THE OP ASKED FOR?? Absolutely yes and if they were bought from me, I would insist he be happy with them! As far as inferior product, Really? Akebono is one of the largest, most sought after, respected and cutting edge names in brakes whose reputation is firmly rooted in OE. OE on your Accord by the way (maybe you can explain how they can be an OE downgrade when they ARE OE lol.). They also have the lowest defect rate in the industry and have over 100 people in research and development alone. You can't even get them at the big box generic stores. Please tell me and everyone else here, how you can justify saying that they make an inferior product.
Lastly, if you lived in Colorado Springs and took your Beemer to a shop to have it worked on, most likely it would be one that does buy from us.
People, beware of advise from someone that makes blanket, uninformed statements like "Stay away from anything ceramic" when that's the direction that the ENTIRE automotive industry is headed.
You may get back up on your high horse now.

Rally to be held for Habib in Sydney's west
Page Tools
A welcome home rally will be held for released Guantanamo Bay detainee Mamdouh Habib in Sydney's west tomorrow.
Mr Habib stepped off a government-chartered Gulfstream jet at Sydney airport this afternoon before being flown by light plane to Sydney's suburban Bankstown airport.
Arrested in Pakistan in October 2001 and transferred via Egypt to the US base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, in May 2002, Mr Habib has been accused of training with al-Qaeda and having prior knowledge of the September 11 attacks.
He was detained without charge, and the Australian government today said it was unlikely he would face charges here.
His release leaves Adelaide man David Hicks as the only Australian held in Guantanamo Bay. Hicks is awaiting a military commission hearing on terrorism related charges.
Tomorrow's rally, organised by the Justice for Hicks and Habib Campaign, will start at 11am (AEDT) at Paul Keating Park, Bankstown.
Campaign spokesman Marlene Obeid said it was unlikely Mr Habib or his family would attend the rally.
"We're not expecting (them) to attend but it will be the (Bankstown) community's way of welcoming him home and showing our support," she said.
"I know that many who have viewed events relating to his arrest, imprisonment and torture over the years will be joining the welcoming party at Bankstown."
Speakers from the NSW Council for Civil Liberties and Bankstown community organisations are expected to address the crowd.
"This event is also intended to demonstrate to (federal) Attorney-General Philip Ruddock and other authorities, both state and federal, that Mr Habib is not alone: we believe he is innocent of all (allegations) directed at him and that he deserves justice at all levels of the law," Ms Obeid said.

A matrix compositor was a component of a starship's warp core.
The warp core matrix compositor of the USS Malinche became fused after being attacked by a booby-trapped Cardassian freighter and three Maquis raiders in 2373, leaving the ship adrift in space. Captain Sisko beamed a damage control team to the Malinche with twelve micro-power relays to assist Captain Sanders with repairs. (DS9: "For the Uniform")
This may have been shorthand for a theta-matrix compositor.

This tournament saw a great mix of past, present and promising players making their way in the game
Manchester, United Kingdom (PRWEB) June 18, 2014
Alex Davidson, founder of Ultimate Golf Advantage (UGA), today releases a new commentary on this year's US Open at Pinehurst. Mr. Davidson discusses Martin Kaymer's sensational victory cementing his return to form, the history of Pinehurst and key takeaways from the tournament - the interview is available in full at http://www.UltimateGolfAdvantage.com/interview-alex-davidson-talks-kaymers-historic-us-open-win/
In an exclusive interview released today, Alex Davidson, author of Think to Win: Mastering the Mental Side of Golf, gives his view on Martin Kaymer's historic win at the 2014 US Open and discusses the influence of the mental game in this year's tournament with particular reference to Erik Compton's impressive runner up position.
Mr. Davidson's new interview offers insight into Kaymer's second major championship win this year and also explores other stand-out performances from the tournament, as well as addressing comments and questions received by the Ultimate Golf Advantage team as the tournament unfolded over the weekend. Mr. Davidson commented:
"UGA is built on an unwavering commitment to provide real-world views and commentary on the most important advances in the industry." He added: "In this interview, I comment on the stand-out performances from this year's tournament while offering valuable advice for golfers looking to improve their mental game."
Taking a closer look at the frontrunners' performances from this year's tournament, Mr. Davidson comments on Erik Compton's inspirational determination, which saw him secure second place despite recently recovering from his second heart transplant. Mr. Davidson attributes Compton's success to his mental focus despite not being in his best physical form. He commented:
"Erik Compton received a lot of admiration after tying second in what was only his second championship since his second heart transplant." He continued:
"Compton's mental game really helped to keep him on form stating, 'you've just got to make the best of it' and 'never give up'. His determination this weekend left me stunned."
In his new interview, Alex Davidson offers advice to golfers by suggesting that lessons can be taken from the successes of the pro golfers, particularly during the intense tournament environment. He also offers insight into his own golfing experience and the importance of the mental game. He said:
"This tournament saw a great mix of past, present and promising players making their way in the game. This is a great testament to my belief that golfing has no age limit." He continued:
"Inconsistencies and flops in my game are often a reflection of my wavering mental state. While I'll continue to perfect my swing and warm up routine, my mental state is something I know will often bear the greater influence on my game."
Alex Davidson's latest interview is available now at the UGA website, at http://www.ultimategolfadvantage.com/interview-alex-davidson-talks-kaymers-historic-us-open-win/
About Ultimate Golf Advantage:

BOSTON (Reuters) - Meaningful words stated in the declarative mood, assertively, and positively are more likely to beget meaningful actions, says Harvard Business Review.
The Management Tip of the Day offers quick, practical management tips and ideas from Harvard Business Review and HBR.org (www.hbr.org). Any opinions expressed are not endorsed by Reuters.
"Meaningless phrases, such as 'To be honest' and 'Like I said,' often creep up in meetings and presentations. Using these expressions undermines your credibility.
Try replacing this filler language with meaning by doing the following:
1. Switch from conditional to declarative. Couching statements with phrases like 'I believe' or 'We think' weakens your argument. Strengthen your points by cutting to the chase. If you must use the conditional, try the stronger 'We're confident' or 'We expect.'
2. Be positive. Negative statements sound defensive and fail to provide information. Instead of saying 'What we're not is...' tell your audience exactly what you are."
- Today's management tip was adapted from "Replace Meaningless Words with Meaningful Ones" by Jerry Weissman.
