little did I know, James Dean was actually on the down low.
Now the argument is that WiiU is better because Nintendo rushed the WiiU to market ahead of the competition since the Wii was basically stagnant. It wasn't getting any games from Nintendo and 3rd parties were dumping minigame collections onto it.

Regardless of this being a possible troll thread, power does matter to a certain point. However, they don't make the system. Video games is what the gamers care about. Why do you think the PS1, PS2, DS, and now the 3DS outsold their rivals. The original Wii was the only exception to the rule. It's not because they have the best graphics. No it's because they have the best games to a majority of people.
Whether the Wii U is stronger or weaker than the PS4/Xbox 3 is completely irrelevant to consumers. What will grab the people attention are games. Whoever delivers the best games wins.

Final Fantasy games are a good example of how graphics and console power reflect game quality. Each successive FF game gets sharper and better in terms of graphics. The latest one is looking so damn impressive, it's like a high quality CGI movie.
And if you look at what games are most popular in that series, the opinions of gamers are all over the place. Some people rank the old 16-bit versions over the last entry. If power and graphics determines how good a game is, then the latest FF would necessarily be better than the last. And that's not true.
Personally, I love FF 11 and FF 12. I love them more than the crap FF titles that came after them.
Dead Space is another good example. The first one was a very tense and immersive survival horror experience. It also had great graphics. The sequels incrementally pushed the graphics. But the devs revised game experiences in the sequels, and they were IMO not as good as the first game.

So everyone here believed that the Wii u would be on par with the PS4 and nextbox, because Sony apparently wouldn't be able to afford another high speced console and Microsoft wouldn't bother because they're focusing on casuals? Well now that reality caught up... Is it back to "graphics don't matter & multiplat games are better on pc anyway?"
Alright, so if that's your belief, obviously you agree that power doesn't matter. So why are you here barking about people who believe that? Because some people- to whom you refer as "everyone here"- were excited at the prospect of Nintendo releasing a system more powerful than the PS3 and 360? So that's your evidence that everyone said it?
It doesn't work that way, pal. Your argument is a disaster.

Everyone has been drooling over HD remakes of decade old game.
This isn't even all of the HD re-releases on the PS3. Atleast Windwaker HD looks more like an actual HD remake. On the other hand, upcoming HD releases like KH1.5 aren't as big of a graphical leap.

Chemical storage for renewable energy
Working with collaborators from the MIT campus to research groups in California and Singapore, MIT Professor Yang Shao-Horn's group has produced research that could lead not only to practical improvements but to better scientific understanding of underlying reaction mechanisms in catalysis. The research is applicable to fuel cells, lithium-air or metal-air batteries and electrochemical photo-induced reactions.

"To build a device using, let's say using either lithium as an energy carrier, or hydrogen as an energy carrier, you will have to combine either lithium or hydrogen with oxygen to form lithium oxide or water – so that basically is the energy generation process, where you can actually extract electricity from chemical energy. If you want to store that energy, you need to convert the electrical energy from the renewable source, say a solar cell, into a chemical form – that is where you need to do water splitting to generate the hydrogen or to do oxidation of metal oxide to generate lithium. So essentially if you want to utilize oxygen for storage and also for generation of electricity, we need to figure out how to promote (the) kinetics of oxygen reduction and oxygen evolution, because the kinetics of oxygen electrocatalysis really limits the efficiency, how we convert energy," Shao-Horn said.
Recent Electrochemical Energy Lab work conducted by materials science graduate student Kelsey Stoerzinger focuses on promoting the oxygen reduction reaction by tuning the chemical nature of the earth-abundant element manganese, while that of materials science graduate student Wesley T. Hong uses X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and other techniques to characterize dynamic chemical changes in transition metal oxides such as lanthanum strontium cobaltite. Precious metals such as platinum and gold can be used as catalysts for these reactions, but they are expensive and operate at limited efficiency. "Each time we convert from chemical to electrical (energy), ideally we want the conversion efficiency to be 100 percent, and currently if you are going to use oxygen, the efficiency is fairly limited to 70 to 80 percent," Shao-Horn said. Her lab is working to develop cheaper, more efficient catalysts made up of earth abundant elements. "We look for design principles, for example, what are the key governing parameters that can control activity of oxides by several orders of magnitude, and then we (utilize and tune that design, or) apply the design principle, tune the governing parameter, to enhance the catalytic activity, and we seek more molecular level, or atomic level, understanding in terms of reaction mechanisms. What are the active sites, what are the limiting steps?" Shao-Horn said. The lab measures chemistry and structure under realistic operating conditions on model electrode surfaces. "We look at how we can store electricity efficiently in chemical form, through electrochemical technologies such as batteries and fuel cells, capacitors and flow batteries. We are interested in utilizing oxygen as a key component in the electrochemical storage devices, so we have to learn how to promote the reaction kinetics of oxygen reduction, oxygen evolution, to really understand the mechanism of oxygen electrocatalysis," Shao-Horn said.
Connecting oxide physics/chemistry with functions
A research effort led by Dr. Jin Suntivich (Ph.D. 2012), a former group member and now Assistant Professor in Materials Science/Engineering at Cornell University, established that the electronic configuration of the transition metal in oxide catalysts can serve as a design principle to screen for compounds that more efficiently promote oxygen reduction and evolution. The work was followed by a demonstration that a compound of barium, strontium, cobalt and iron, predicted by the design parameters, had oxygen evolution reactivity at least an order of magnitude higher than iridium oxide catalyst in alkaline media.
Stoerzinger studied thin films of manganese oxide containing lanthanum, strontium, or calcium, to show that Mn3+ (a manganese ion which has "given up" three electrons) is the active Mn electronic state for the oxygen reduction reaction. This work, conducted with the Advanced Light Source (ALS) at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and the Canadian Light Source, opens a path to controlling the amount of Mn3+ and increasing the reactivity of oxides for oxygen reduction.
Hong's work observed chemical decomposition at the surface of lanthanum strontium cobalt oxide, La0.8Sr0.2CoO3−δ (LSC113 or lanthanum strontium cobaltite), thin films. But LSC113 with the addition of another oxide chemistry, (La0.5Sr0.5)2CoO4+δ (LSC214), decorated on the surface showed no change upon heating. The research team's report on the material, with potential use as a solid oxide fuel cell cathode, identifies methods for stabilizing surface chemistry for highly active and stable catalysts for oxygen electrocatalysis.
Stoerzinger's studies are done at room temperature in water-based solution, while Hong's studies are done by flowing oxygen gas over the sample at 500 degrees Celsius (932 degrees Fahrenheit). "The end application for these two is similar in that they can both be used to catalyze oxygen for hydrogen fuel cells, but they would be used in different types of devices," Hong said.
Stoerzinger's work applies to an alkaline anion exchange membrane fuel cell and Hong's to a solid oxide fuel cell.
"They are really making, I think, great strides towards understanding oxides and oxide physics; how they may control the activity of the oxides. So you're looking at the future leaders of oxides for catalysis," Shao-Horn said.

This Photo Shows Which Major Difference Between The War In Europe And The War In The Pacific?
What were the MAIN differences in the war in the Pacific to the war in Europe?
By this I mean... Was their command structure different? What about the Terrain? The enemies that they were fighting?
- print Print
- list Cite
2 Answers
There were many important differences between the war in Europe and the war in the Pacific. Obviously, the first difference was in the terrain. The war in Europe was fought primarily on land. Yes, there was submarine warfare and naval blockades and crossing of rivers and the Mediterranean Sea and of the Atlantic Ocean. But the war in the Pacific was dominated by the huge expanses of water that had to be crossed, on the water or by air, in order to engage the enemy.
Weather was another variable that affected the two theaters differently. Over the stretch of the war, those fighting in different areas of Europe experienced weather ranging from summer in the Sahara Desert to winter outside Moscow or St. Petersburg. The conditions challenged men and equipment, both directly and in terms of medical complications caused by cold, heat, precipitation of all kinds, etc. In the Pacific, the weather caused different kinds of challenges as fighting took place under tropical heat and humidity with the presence of health complications related to that part of the world.
There were differences in command structure for sure. In Europe, the US and the British had to share command with, for example, Eisenhower and Montgomery disagreeing with one another quite regularly. By contrast, the Pacific was completely an American show. There was no real need to coordinate with Allies in that theater.
Another major difference was the sort of weapons that could be brought to bear. The European theater was influenced strongly by tank warfare on the plains of Europe. By contrast, the Pacific theater offerred very little in the way of open spaces. Fighting in the Pacific was much more reliant on infantry and was done in jungle to a large extent.
In addition, the enemy was very different. The Germans were much more of a traditional enemy who would do things like surrendering. By contrast, the Japanese defended so unrelentingly that very few Japanese defenders survived battles like those on Saipan and Iwo Jima. This made for a very different fighting experience.

Brian McIntyre: The whole world saw the punishment that Jay Cutler took two weeks ago on Sunday Night Football. How much of the blame pie would Cutler, the offensive line and Mike Martz be accountable for, and what steps are the Bears taking to keep those games at a minimum?
John Crist: To be perfectly honest, the Giants game wasn't all that different from the Cowboys game back in Week 2, when DeMarcus Ware and Co. tore Cutler limb from limb in the first quarter and it looked like No. 6 was going to leave on a stretcher. But Martz and offensive line coach Mike Tice made some adjustments after two or three series, Martz going to more quick passes off three- and five-step drops and Tice shifting Frank Omiyale from right to left tackle after the injury to Chris Williams. Those adjustments worked beautifully in Dallas, with Cutler having perhaps his best performance in a Bears uniform in that 27-20 victory, but similar adjustments simply didn't make any difference whatsoever in New York, not to mention the fact that Cutler played a good portion of that 17-3 loss after already being concussed.
Everyone in football knows the Bears have one of the worst offensive lines in the league, so I'd give the big uglies 50 percent of the blame, with 25 apiece going to Martz and Cutler – Martz for subjecting his quarterback to too much punishment and Cutler for holding on to the ball too long.
BM: Matt Forte averaged 2.7 yards per carry through the first month of the season before busting out for 166 yards on 22 carries last week. Was that an anomaly, or have the Bears discovered the missing ingredient for a successful running game?
JC: One of the "missing ingredients" you speak of when it comes to the running game is actually calling running plays, which Martz obviously wasn't doing the first four weeks of the season – Forte got 17, 10, 11 and 12 carries in those games. Since Cutler sat out last Sunday's contest with that concussion and backup Todd Collins was making just his 21st career start in 16 seasons, surely Martz was going to lean on the ground attack more than he had in the past, especially facing an inferior opponent like Carolina. Credit the blocking for finally being able to change the line of scrimmage on someone, plus Forte's vision was especially sharp, but I don't expect the Bears to all of a sudden rush for 150 yards per game, as Martz always has been and always will be more interested in throwing the ball.
I like Forte and Chester Taylor as running backs because both of them have a very well-rounded skill set, but the fact that they are similar players and the defense does not have to make any adjustments from one to the other could be a factor in Chicago's overall lack of success on the ground.
BM: After emerging as a favorite target of Cutler's late last season and catching five balls in the season opener, Devin Aromashodu has vanished. Is he in the doghouse, or have the other receivers simply earned that playing time?
JC: While Aromashodu did look to be Cutler's primary weapon in Week 1 with 10 targets, he only caught five passes when it should have been seven or eight – most glaringly, he dropped a beautiful over-the-shoulder throw from Cutler in the end zone. Starters Johnny Knox and Devin Hester were only asked to learn a single position in Martz' offense, Knox at split end (X) and Hester at flanker (Z), but Aromashodu was asked to learn split end, flanker and the slot (Y) in order to be some sort of jack-of-all-trades pass catcher. However, at the end of the day, he is not as good of a fit working out of the slot as Earl Bennett is, and neither Knox nor Hester is losing his job any time soon.
Right now, Aromashodu is only on the field when Hester is getting a rest, which happens from time to time because the coaching staff wants to make sure the two-time Pro Bowl returner is as fresh as possible when the enemy lines up to punt.
BM: In addition to being Exhibit A in the NFL's defense of accusations of colluding to reduce free-agent spending, what affect on the Bears' front four has Julius Peppers had this season?
JC: Cynical Bears fans thought Peppers' best days were behind him and he'd never live up to the franchise-record $91.5 million contract he signed in free agency, but the greatest player in Panthers history is off to a rousing start with the Bears. It's hard to tell from the stat sheet, as the 6-7, 283-pound physical freak only has 11 tackles and two sacks in five games, but he has also intercepted a pass, knocked down four others, forced two fumbles and gets credited for a QB pressure practically every other drop-back. The thinking behind the Peppers addition is that he would create winnable one-on-one matchups for the rest of the D-line, and although Tommie Harris is a shell of his former self at the three-technique tackle position and hasn't benefitted at all from No. 90's presence, Israel Idonije has come into his own as a starting end and already has four sacks – three of them last week in Carolina.
At this point, in my opinion, Peppers has to be considered a candidate for the league's Defensive Player of the Year award, as he seems to have single-handedly gotten Chicago back to the glory days of Lovie Smith's Cover 2.
BM: Chicago shook up its front office this offseason, which included the hiring former Seahawks general manager Tim Ruskell. How much sway within the organization does Ruskell have?
JC: The Bears used to employ a pro personnel director (Bobby DePaul) and then a college scouting director (Greg Gabriel), but Ruskell is now the player personnel director and essentially condensed two jobs down into one. A lot has been said about Ruskell and general manager Jerry Angelo being old pals from their time together in Tampa Bay, and it has even been suggested that Ruskell called Angelo and basically begged him for a job after it didn't work out in Seattle. That may or not be true, but Angelo explains the decision by saying the communication between the pro scouts and college scouts hadn't been very good, so putting the entire scouting department under the same umbrella makes it easier on everyone.
I'm reserving judgment until Angelo and Ruskell do a draft together, as Chicago's track record in the first few rounds hasn't been pretty lately – a pair of 2009 third-round picks, defensive end Jarron Gilbert and wide receiver Juaquin Iglesias, didn't make the 53-man roster this year.

Best Of :: Bars & Clubs
Ziggy's transformation from Sun Devil-themed sports bar to popular punk-rock hangout wasn't truly complete until the owners took the Best of the Pixies CD off auto-repeat and finally got the jukebox stocked with kick-ass discs handpicked by DJ Jefe, who also books bands there. Ziggy's definitely amped up its cool quotient by bringing live rock 'n' roll, rockabilly, punk, garage and Americana to Mill Avenue not long after Long Wong's shut down, but now that we can pop in some quarters and hear whatever tunes we want, it's almost as fun just to grab a burger or a beer and rock out during the off hours.
One of the surprises of moving to Phoenix for the first time from some place like Los Angeles or New York is being able to have a pint of P-town's "home brew" -- Kiltlifter Scottish Ale -- on tap at a local saloon. Let's be honest, when you're a newbie transplant with some of that El Lay or Gotham 'tude, your first reaction to PHX -- not knowing the area -- might be, "Why, God, why?" But a draught of Kiltlifter, the flagship ale of the Four Peaks Brewing Company in Tempe, is enough to convince you that not only is there civilization in P-town, but it has produced a damn fine brew-ha-ha, one worthy of incessant quaffing. Kiltlifter is an award-winning, Scottish-style amber ale that uses peat-soaked malt (the same used in making Scotch) to give the beverage a smoky sweetness, accented with a touch of English hops. It's a sophisticated, refreshing drink, and Phoenicians should be as proud of it as they are of the Arizona flag.
To borrow a line from John Belushi in Animal House, now that Arizona has gotten off its keister and extended the drinking cutoff until 2 a.m., we advise you to start drinking heavily. And there's no better place to start drinking heavily than at McDuffy's Wide World of Entertainment in Peoria, which has 21 different beers on tap and at least the same number in bottles. This sleek, 13,000-square-foot sports bar is jam-packed with large-screen TVs tuned to all of your favorite athletic competitions, and then some. McDuffy's also offers off-track betting year-round, so you can lose your shirt (or win a bundle) while getting hammered. And the kitchen prepares some of the best bar food, bar none, everything from beer-battered fish and chips and roast beef sliders au jus to hand-crafted pizzas, made to your exacting specifications. Moreover, with its half-price happy hour -- and a reverse happy hour on Sundays that includes Sabbath tourneys of "beer pong" (Yahweh must love that one), McDuffy's has become a destination drinking, dining and fun zone for the entire west side. If only Belushi were still around, he'd love it. Readers' Choice: Four Peaks Brewing Company
Hey, Dancing Queen, if those shoes haven't scuffed a dance floor since disco, it's time to leave the house. Deciding where to bust your latest Beyonc moves isn't easy, but there are a few diva-worthy dance floors out there -- all of them inside the confines of The Buzz.
The Buzz is perfect for the schizophrenic dancer who's not really sure what groove to follow. The maze of bars and themed rooms surround a large dance floor lighted by hypnotic lasers and energized by scratch-happy DJs who spin everything from house to funk to hip-hop.
Save the last dance until you've perused the rest of the two-story fun bar. The Rat Pack Lounge offers a little Sinatra-inspired R&R -- perfect for rejuvenating yourself -- and the rooftop patio is essential for airing out those sweat-soaked digs of yours. Don't lounge around too long, however. The Buzz is best experienced by dancing yourself dizzy. Readers' Choice: Axis/Radius
This place would impress even the Queer Eye guys. From the opera bar to the leather couches to the jumbo shrimp appetizer, everything about Amsterdam is perfectly appointed, particularly the help -- and the clientele. You'll feel like you've died and gone to cable when you sink back with a martini (we recommend the French) and enjoy the, er, view, as well as the live piano music and frequent drag shows. For you fag hags (and boys who do the mani-pedi thing), we highly recommend "Martinis and Manicures" -- just $5 for a mani, $10 for a pedi, 7 p.m. to close, plus $5 martinis.
Don't bother asking for a "facial." It's not that kind of place. Readers' Choice: Amsterdam
Thankfully, you'll be hard-pressed to find a mullet here. E-Lounge draws patrons of all ages, but its largest draw is the twentysomething crowd. With ample, cushy couches, reasonably priced drinks, and hordes of hot women, E-Lounge is fast becoming the nightclub that local lesbians have wanted for years. The inside decor resembles a grotto inferno, with dark red brick walls, paintings of exotic, scantily clad women, and a spacious, sunken dance floor -- a perfect pit for exhibitionists, and a great eyeful opportunity for voyeurs. Add some of the Valley's hottest DJs (Domenica, Pete, and Laura B.) to the mix, and there's bound to be beautiful booty shakin' until last call -- and maybe more booty after that.

FRAIL pensioners in bungalows are living in fear of an unwanted development of 55 houses on their doorsteps.
Developer Taylor Wimpey is pressing ahead with plans to build the homes on land off Eastward Road, Malvern, despite opposition from residents and the fact the land was rejected by local planners for inclusion in the emerging South Worcestershire Development Plan (SWDP).
A residents' group called the Eastward Road Action Group is fighting the plans.
It has concerns over increasing existing traffic problems, fears local infrastructure will be unable to cope and says it would set an unwanted precedent for developing on countryside in the "significant gap" between Malvern and Leigh Sinton.
But chairman Richard Bamford, who lives in Eastward Road, said it was "the human element" that was the biggest cause for concern.
"Eastward Road is essentially a retirement area with the majority of residents of pensionable age, many in ill health, and if this development went ahead it would seriously affect even their already reduced quality of life," he said. "All of the site traffic will have to go up and down the road and the elderly residents will basically become part of the building site. Some of the people here are scared to death of what is going to happen to them. There is a real human element not mentioned anywhere in the planning documents."
Taylor Wimpey has submitted a planning application for the 55 homes, which will be decided by Malvern Hills District Council.
A spokesman said: "We consider the application offers the opportunity to help meet the recognised need for housing in Malvern, which is currently not being met by the South Worcestershire Development Plan.
"The scale of the proposals means existing services will be sufficient to accommodate the development and there will be a minimal impact upon traffic in the area."
Mr Bamford believes the developer is trying to push its plans through before the SWDP – which still needs government approval – is formally adopted.
He believes councillors must stay true to what they have voted on in the SWDP and not fear having their decisions overturned on appeal until it is adopted.
"I think they have to stand firm behind their own plan," he said. "They have always protected the significant gap and we hope that they will do the same this time."

Volume 9, Issue 4: Magistralis
Gregory Dickison
While most Christians take exception to recent judicial interpretations of the establishment and free exercise clauses of the First Amendment, we consider the basic doctrines they embody to be fairly sound. We want the civil government to acknowledge the authority of Scripture and honor God in legislation, but we also agree that it has no business setting up a national church and taxing the citizenry to support it. We're comfortable with a state that leaves the church and us alone in spiritual matters, and allows us to worship God (or not) as we see fit.
In 878 Alfred [king of England] defeated the Danish king, Guthrum. The terms of the surrender stipulated not only that Guthrum withdraw from Alfred's kingdom but that he and his leading men be baptized also. In the laws agreed upon and enacted by Alfred and Guthrum the commitment to "love one God and zealously renounce all heathen practices" stands first.[1]

Hey, don't listen to those African bishops! Unless you're an African in Africa...and even then! They haven't the fullness of our light![/caption]Yeah, I am sorry; I try not to get into the politics of the church and all that -- because I hates it -- but Cardinal Kasper is falling victim to the easiest temptation to the ego: to keep talking into microphones when you really should stop.

Gradualism: Two More Thoughts on its Gravity #Synod14 – UPDATED
I: It is instructive, and a little depressing, to watch Catholic social media come alive with reactions to the synod's relatio text, which -- let's remember -- is going to be revised and clarified in another week, and then studied, thought about and prayed over for at least a year. The secular media is, naturally, trying to drive the narrative to its preferred talking points (and they're making sure to beat up on poor old Pope Benedict XVI, so whisper up a prayer for him).In social media, … [Read more...]

The Extraordinary Synod for the Family is only half-completed, and its denouement will not be known until October 2015 or even later, but if the relatio post disceptationem, the mid-term report of this Synod is any suggestion, then, as Vaticanista John Thavis suggests at his blog, it's going to be a bumpy year, Bette; a bumpy year!The relatio emphasized the "principle of graduality" – the idea that Catholics move toward full acceptance of church teachings in steps, and the church needs to … [Read more...]
Why Francis and Benedict are Right: Proselytizing is Folly
Do you know why, as Pope Francis rightly noted (as Benedict did, before him), proselytizing doesn't work?Because it is not Incarnational. It has nothing in common with the example set by the Word when he condescended to join humanity and "set his tent among us". Not near humanity, but still apart; not above humanity, overseeing it, but among and with and in commonality with us.When Proposition 8 was roiling California in 2008, a group of Evangelical Christians decided to make a weekly … [Read more...]
Burke's "Exile" to Malta**: What if Everyone is Wrong? UPDATED
The rumors appear to be true, and it looks like Pope Francis is "demoting" Cardinal Raymond Burke from being prefect of the supreme tribunal of the apostolic signatura to "cardinal patron" of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta.Burke is only 66 years old; the current "cardinal patron", Paolo Sardi, has just turned 80. That's kind of interesting.There's lots of analysis around, and some odd tweets. Everyone seems to be seeing this as a demotion -- some are using the word "exile", whi … [Read more...]

Donald "Don" Duane Timmer, age 78, passed away and met his Savior at the University of Minnesota Fairview Hospital on November 21, 2013, after a courageous battle with pulmonary fibrosis.
Don was born January 23, 1935, to Fred and Jeanette (Vugteveen) Timmer in Pease. Don attended Pease Christian School, graduated from Milaca High School in 1954 and then served in the U.S. Army for four years. He returned to Pease and farmed with his father, met his wife Margaret Dahlberg, and they married on June 15, 1957.
Don carried on the family farm with his brother Gary and also worked in the AI industry for more than 50 years. Don and Margaret were blessed with six children, 13 grandchildren, and seven great-grandchildren.
Don loved fishing, photography, gardening, adding to his many collections, and spending time with family and friends. He also loved to talk politics with a willing debater. Treasured times were family vacations, attending grand childrens sporting events, and playing cards and dominoes.
Don volunteered so much of his time with so many organizations. His history of service includes Pease School Board, Milaca School Board (18 years), Dollars for Scholars, Bock Vocational Center Board, Mille Lacs County Agricultural Extension Committee, the Minnesota Agricultural Extension Committee, and Mille Lacs County Fair Board. Don loved the Pease Christian Reformed Church and his church family. He was a lifetime member and served as an Elder. His faith took him on a mission trip to Africa with the Hour of Power organization in 2008. Most recently he was very involved with prison ministry.
He is survived by his wife Margaret of 56 years; children Dwayne (Peggy), Sandy Rowland (Arnie), Lori Hjort (Dean), Gwen Kalor (Butch), Heidi Peper (Todd), and Patti Christy (Mike). Grandchildren Michael (Linda) Timmer, Sarah Timmer, Melanie (Jeremy) Gothman, Rebecca (Nick) Biehn, Randy (Joelle) Hjort, Tonya Hjort, Devin (Danielle) Kalor, Dylan Kalor, Trent Peper, Riley Peper, and Brooke Peper; six great-grandchildren, brother Loren Timmer, sisters-in-law Carol Timmer and Shirley Timmer, and many nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.

BWW Interviews: Broadway Vet Natalie Toro Releases New Single 'Just in Time for Christmas'
Broadway veteran Natalie Toro is thrilled her latest tune debuts just in time for the holidays. Toro's version of JUST IN TIME FOR CHRISTMAS, penned by Nancy LaMott, is already drawing fan raves, and it's only been a few days since its release.
Adding to her Broadway and touring credits (LES MIS, IN THE HEIGHTS, A TALE OF TWO CITIES, JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR, CATS, A CHRISTMAS CAROL), Toro is thrilled to continue recording songs that are meaningful to her. This latest song is reflective and emotional without being sentimental, and its non-denominational appeal crosses a variety of barriers, she said recently.
The song bemoans the commercialization of the season while casting hope for genuine love, with scenes of New York landmarks framing the tune. "The words are so profound," she said in a recent interview. "I sing about how commercialized Christmas has become, yet I've found true love which reignites the passion of the holiday's true meaning. Everyone seems to be rushing around buying gifts for people they don't even know and neglecting to find the true meaning of Christmas."
Toro insists that the love sung about could be about anyone. "All of a sudden, this love interest comes in and it could be anyone -- a lover, a parent, even a dog," she said with a deep-throated laugh. "It's not even necessarily a love song, whoever listens to the words can figure out what that love represents."
The Broadway talent got her start at the famed Apollo Theater in Harlem when she was barely 5 years old. "I remember insisting that I wanted to hold the mike, and the audience got behind me. So I got the mike! she recalled. Before her big song, she had noticed a hot dog vendor near the theater and Toro wanted one. "My father said if I sang all the words he would buy me five hot dogs," she said with a laugh. It was a good bet, because not only did Toro remember all the words to the song, she won. So five hot dogs later, Toro was one happy camper. "And now I'm a vegetarian," she said.

A truck driver has been charged after he was caught travelling on the wrong side of the Hume Highway.
Victoria Police spokeswoman Senior Constable Melissa Seach said Epping police received reports of a semi-trailer heading towards the city from
Donnybrook Road, Campbellfield, on the wrong side of the road about 4.30am on Wednesday.
When officers tried to stop the truck, the driver ignored their directions and continued at a slow speed along the freeway.
The 64-year-old Shepparton man eventually pulled over near Cooper Street, Campbellfield, police said.
According to police, the truck had smashed side mirrors and a damaged front grille. The driver was given a roadside drug test, and allegedly returned a positive reading.
He was then taken to a police station to to provide a blood sample for further analysis.
The man has been charged with six offences, including two counts of conduct endangering life, driving in a dangerous manner and driving while impaired.
He was bailed on Wednesday and is expected to appear at Shepparton Magistrates Court on June 23.
Victoria Police spokeswoman Senior Constable Kendra Jackson said police were awaiting the results of the blood test to determine if any other charges would be laid against the man.

The reddish-brown color of the fruit is another distinguishing character of Seckel.
Seckel is an American pear distinct in type from any European variety.
Since there are few good late pears to follow Seckel, there may be a place for Dorset.
This was a hybrid produced from the crossing of Seckel with Belle Lucrative.
Seckel, Sheldon, and Beurr dAnjou have remarkably distinctive color as young trees.
The fruits lack the rich, perfumed flavor of Seckel on one hand, and the piquant, vinous taste of Winter Nelis on the other.
The pears are also more brightly colored than those of Seckel.
While the pears are larger than those of Seckel, the yield is not as great as the trees do not bear as regularly, nor abundantly.
Well grown, the fruits of Ansault rival those of Seckel in quality.
The parent tree stood near a Seckel and it is considered that Reeder is a cross between the two varieties.

Today In Crazy: Brides Are Now Going On Feeding Tubes To Lose Weight
Meet Jessica Schnaider, a woman profiled in The New York Times' Style section this weekend. Jessica, 41, wanted to lose weight for her wedding, but instead of doing the typical thing that most brides-to-be do — hire a trainer, go on a diet — to make their perfect wedding dress a reality, she went for a more, oh, extreme solution.
Jessica decided to put herself on a feeding tube.
Yes, Jessica voluntarily put herself on a damn feeding tube so she could drop a couple dress sizes in time for her wedding. And it worked! Actually a little too well. She lost 10 pounds in eight days. Jessica actually went off the feeding tube a couple of days early because she was dropping weight so quickly.
How does a feeding tube work? By restricting your calorie intake down to 800 calories a day. The cost of a feeding tube of your very own is not cheap — $1,500 for 10 days. And it also requires that you be of sturdy emotional stock. "People think I'm sick, I'm dying," said Jessica, who said she refused to pick up her daughter from school, because "the children, they would be scared."
So this sounds like a totally reasonable weight loss solution. Starve yourself, turn yourself into a social pariah, but hey, you'll be able to fit into that dress for your big day. But what do the doctors say? The Times asked Dr. Oliver R. Di Pietro, who offers women this treatment at his clinic in Bay Harbor Islands, Florida.
"At first I decided not to do it for people who just want to lose a few pounds," he explained. "But then I thought, why should I say 5 or 10 pounds are not enough? People want to be perfect." Wow, that sounds totally ethical and on the ball.
"It doesn't matter if it's through a tube, a straw, a meal plan," said another doctor — one who doesn't offer feeding tube diets — Scott Shikora. "They all work, if someone goes from 3,000 calories a day to 800." And plus, just like weird juice fasts, cleanses and the like, putting yourself on a goddamn feeding tube is trying to find a quick fix — at your body's expense. It also hyper-fetishizes the whole wedding day experience for women, and reinforces the idea that weddings are supposed to be some kind of pinnacle moment in women's lives. Maybe they are for some, but is a wedding really worth jeopardizing your health over? [NY Times]

The following table shows the traditional classification of the common taxa of garden insects. In total, there are between 26 and 29 living insect orders. The exact number changes over time as new evidence on evolutionary relationships come to light. The majority of people will recognise many of these orders, at least by their common names. Others, such as the Hemiptera, may not be so familiar, but this order includes the aphids, which are known to all gardeners.
Classification table
|Common name
Wingless primitive insects
|Silverfish - more common in damp sheds than in the garden, medium sized, flattened, silvery scaled.
|Springtails - The most common insect in soil, small, possess a jumping organ, some taxonomists do not include these with the insecta.
Winged insects
Division Exopterygota:
Wings develop externally, and the young (nymphs) look like small, wingless adults.
|Mayflies - Mainly aquatic, found near rivers and ponds, large wings, three "tails", large compound eyes.
|Dragonflies - acrobatic aerial predators, and very large, grasping "raptorial" jaws to capture prey.
|Crickets and grasshoppers - often found in larger gardens where grass and native trees are allowed to go a little wild, feeds on plants.
|Earwigs - found under rocks in most gardens, elongate and dorso-ventrally flattened.
|True bugs - feed on plant sap, using their specialised piercing, sucking mouthparts, can be large.
winged insects
Division Endopterygota:
The larvae look very different to the adults, and undergo metamorphosis in a pupa where the wings develop internally.
|Lacewings - common predators of other insects, including aphids, relatively large wings
|Beetles - the most diverse group of organisms on Earth, some are important predators of garden pests
|True flies - recognised by having just one pair wings, the second pair are modified into halteres, which act as balancing organs.
|Butterflies and moths - the most easily recognised garden insects, herbivorous larvae (caterpillars) feed on plants, adult feed on nectar through a long proboscis
|Bees, ants and wasps - critically important pollinators in every garden, many small wasps are parasitic, others induce galls on plants. Some show very complex social behaviors.

Frankfurt (AFP) Feb 24, 2011
German insurance giant Allianz said Thursday that it foresees an operating profit of eight billion euros ($11 billion) this year, give or take half a billion.
Allianz chief executive Michael Diekmann told a press conference in Munich, southern Germany, that uncertainty caused by new European capital requirements for insurers made it hard to give a more precise outlook.
"For the 2011 exercise, we foresee an operating profit of eight billion euros, give or take 500 million owing to uncertainties," Diekmann said.
Shares in the biggest European insurer were then hammered in midday trading on the Frankfurt stock exchange.
Allianz was exposed to a maximum of 300 million euros in losses from the earthquake on Tuesday in New Zealand and torrential rains in Australia early this year, its boss acknowledged.
But "that is a very provisional estimate," Diekmann said.
He underscored optimism for the full-year but warned a new set of EU capital requirements known as Solvency II needed to be clarified because they might entail risks for some of Allianz's activities.
"Owing to uncertainties over Solvency II we cannot make any large acquisitions," Diekmann noted.
The new regime is to take effect in 2013, but some details must still be finalised and an insurer might have to raise its capital significantly, which would undermine earnings and make some activities unattractive, he explained.
Allianz finance director Paul Achleitner said the uncertainty could also affect Allianz's investments in financial markets.
For 2010, the group reported a 17 percent jump in operating profit to 8.2 billion euros, exceeding its own target and analyst forecasts thanks in part to 500 million euros in exceptional items, including positive effects from foreign exchange rates.
Allianz's net profit leapt by 20.1 percent to 5.05 billion euros.
Revenues gained 9.3 percent to a record high of 106.5 billion euros, and Allianz directors will propose a dividend of 4.50 euros per share, up from 4.10 euros in 2009.
Investors apparently had hoped for more and the group's share price plunged in midday Frankfurt trading, showing a loss of 3.06 percent to 101.4 euros while the DAX index of German blue-chips was 1.10 percent lower overall.

Minutes g-Eclipse 20070606
Attendees: Harald K., Ariel, Mathias, Pawel, Mariusz, Mateusz, Martin, Thomas, Sylva, Christof, Nicholas, Harald G., Markus, Ashish
This and that...
- Ariel and Harald were in contact with the GILDA guys. So we currently wait for infrastructure. It was agreed that we have to provide the WMS&LB Version 3.1
- Pawel reported that the L&B and WMS 3.1 is installed in Cyprus. He was able to submit jobs and to get first results out of the LB system. But some of the WS services changed from 3.0 to 3.1, so the Stubs for the clients needs to be reengineered. The new version uses a different improved (hacked) security layer:
- WMS is now running https without GSI
- LB is using https with GSI
both services use currently https
If this has am impact on the httpg protocol used by SRM needs to be tested.
There are problems with the new WMS and LB:
- The geclipse VO is currently not supported
- The endpoint must be published in the InfoSystem (and in the geclipse forum)
Therefore the following actions are needed to improve in job submission:
- Fix the installation and configuration of the WMS and LB at UCY.
- Pawel creates the stubs for new service and tests the implementation for job submission.
- PSNC tests the interoperability with SRM implementation
- George reported on some problems with submitting Jobs via Globus. The problem occur evenwith out file staging. The availability for file staging is urgent for the benchmarking features.
- Propose a solution for the GridJobStatusUpdateManager: Pawel and Mathias discussed this issue last week, and proposed a first solution. The interfaces are agreed and the implementation will come soon. Pawel will send around the interfaces. The implementation for gLite will come as soon as the LB problems are solved. The Globus implementation should be available next week, even if there are problems with the Globus API.
- Markus and George agreed on the usage of the Derby database system, which is provided by Eclipse. George is looking for a Java persistence framework from XML to RDBMS or from Java objects to a RDBMS. This persistence framework is not a showstopper and a decision will shifted after RC1.
Technical Discussion:
- Nicholas demonstrated some new features of the JSDL editor and the Mariusz did the same for the JSDL creation wizards.
- Mathias asked the WP leaders to define and adjust the different perspectives with him until the Poznan meeting.
- The grouping of jobs was discussed. One can create folders for jobs in the Grid project workspace already. Also the Jobs View supports that. We can currently live with this solution, but we have to discuss during the PSNC meeting.
- Mathias showed the new Connection Creation Wizards... which looked good.
- Sylva is in discussion with Markus to integrate the VTK tools in the framework
- Harald G. promised to demonstrate the "Queue management tool" next week.
- Ashish promised to demonstrate the Workflow tool next week.

I have recently started playing Sacred 2 on pc to see the differance between the xbox 360 version and pc version. The layout of the game on pc is quite differant and in my opinion better. Anyhow I am having problems with the pc version, and theres me thinking only the xbox version was broken. I am trying to do a BFG seraphin and can't seem to equip some armors. the armor is at the correct character level and when I equip the armor, it just falls on the floor, but shows the armor equiped even though you can't see it on the character. When I then try to pick the armor up of the floor, it does'nt register. "GREAT" I now have a armorless BFG seraphin. Has anyone please got any anwsers as to what is going on here?. Had simular probs with the Shadow Warrior, but not quite as bad. If this helps, I'm running sacred 2 on windows 7. Thanks guys, happy gaming.
Great news about Sacred 3, just hope its kept the same as Sacred 2.

Didn't they just say this? What's going on here?Who will join Sting, Kurt Angle, Samoa Joe and Magnus to battle the Aces and Eights? Tune in and find out as the final member is revealed!
Why should we care?- Speaking of the Aces and Eights, they will hold a club meeting to select a new VP!

It's a tournament within a tournament... With a battle royal sprinkled on top... Talk about overkill.- The ongoing "Bound For Glory Series" will feature a "Joker's Wild" competition on Thursday night, with a HUGE 25 points going to the winner! All of the BFG Series participants will be randomly paired up for tag team matches, with the winners advancing to the main event that night - a Six-Man Gauntlet Match! Whoever wins the Gauntlet Match will earn the 25 points and take a big leap in the point standings!
Why do I feel like this match should be for the KO Title as opposed to being for a shot at said Title?- Also on Thursday is the much-anticipated Knockouts Ladder Match with Gail Kim vs. Taryn Terrell, and the winner will be the new #1 Contender to the Knockouts Championship! After their acclaimed war at Slammiversary, you don't want to miss Gail vs. Taryn in a Ladder Match on Thursday night!
Shouldn't he hand over the X-Title the night of the actual event? Seems odd.- Also on the broadcast, Chris Sabin has to officially hand over the X Division Championship to Hulk Hogan to confirm he is cashing in the title for a shot at the World Heavyweight Championship against Bully Ray on the July 18 "Destination X" IMPACT special on SpikeTV! More news on the "Destination X" event will be announced on Thursday night as past and present X Division stars collide for a night of high-flying action!

Whither Cooperstown?
posted at 10:09 am on January 9, 2013 by Ed Morrissey
The tradition of MLB's Hall of Fame continues today, with an announcement due on the Class of 2013. The Steroid Era's biggest figures — pun definitely intended — are now eligible for enshrinement. Names like Barry Bonds, Sammy Sosa, and Roger Clemens are on the ballot. However, my friend Paul Mirengoff points out that sportswriters and baseball fans are in a catch-22 that may end Cooperstown's luster once and for all:
Regardless of the outcome, the Hall is in an untenable position. What sense does it make to have a Hall of Fame that doesn't include the most successful hitter (Bonds) and the most successful pitcher (Clemens) of the past 50 years? Both players presumably would have coasted into the Hall of Fame based on performance that preceded the period during which they are believed to have been on steriods.
On the other hand, it seems like a breach of good faith to bestow baseball's ultimate honor on cheats. That, at least, seems to be the sentiment of a number of Hall of Famers who have said they will boycott its ceremonies if Bonds, Clemens, or Sosa is admitted.
In my wasted youth (i.e., up until the age of 45), I used to spend hours pouring over baseball statistics trying to determine, say, the top 20 second basemen of all time. Who in his right mind would indulge in such a hobby now, when we don't know (1) which players from the 1990s and early 2000s gained an unfair advantage through drugs, (2) the precise period in which they gained it, or (3) the extent of the advantage?
If the game didn't care enough to maintain the integrity of its history, why should we care enough to obsess about that history or even to worry who makes the Hall of Fame?
I lost my enthusiasm for baseball in the Steroid Era. I'm pretty sure that was not a limited phenomenon.

Ya this story has been making the rounds for a few days now, I think it's a bit of both.
I'm a compulsive post editor, you might wanna wait until my post has been online for 5-10 mins before quoting it as it will likely change.
I know I seem harsh in some of my replies. SORRY! But if you're doing something illegal or posting something that seems to be obvious BS I'm going to call you on it.
Below is from an article which is about 'The Lone Gunmen'; a spin-off series from the X-Files: Taken from http://www.farshores.org/dy21.htmA report by the US Federal Aviation Administration this week raised concerns that a passenger aboard the new Boeing 787 "Dreamliner" aircraft might be able to hack into the aircraft's systems via its internet connection. -- Taken from the article
It's obvious, if this 14year old kid can do this at the present day. What would stop the US Government from doing this [with all their resources and knowledge] in 2001?...It's obvious. That link above also states why every media representative never recalls the episode. It is more annoying that the authorities think we 'the public' are this stupid.The X-Files spinoff series, 'The Lone Gunmen,' had its pilot episode concerned with a federally-sanctioned/terrorist plot to fly an airplane by remote-control into the World Trade Center! The pilot was written by Chris Carter, Vince Gilligan, John Shiban and Frank Spotnitz.
he wasn't necessarily incredibly smart, but the people that installed the system were dumb.
A third party security audit is the IT equivalent of a colonoscopy. It's long, intrusive, very uncomfortable, and when it's done, you'll have seen things you really didn't want to see, and you'll never forget that you've had one.

I am up2date with most of the "bigger" news allmost every day so i
am sure i know what's going on around the world, also here as well due

New Birth Missionary Baptist Church Disputes Rumors That Bishop Long's Wife Has Moved Out
Source: Fran Jeffries / The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
New Birth Missionary Baptist Church is disputing rumors that Bishop Eddie Long's wife, Vanessa, has moved out of the couple's home.
"That claim is completely and absolutely false," according to a statement from church spokesman Art Franklin. "Mrs. Long is very much a loving, dedicated and committed wife and mother."
Eddie Long and New Birth are rebounding from allegations of sexual misconduct. Last fall, four young men accused Long, senior pastor of the Lithonia megachurch, of coercing them into having sex. Their lawsuits were settled in May, then dismissed.
The statement said New Birth church has, as a rule, chosen not to respond to rumors, but felt obliged to respond after blog entries surfaced claiming to have anonymous sources stating that Vanessa Long had moved out of the house.

In response to an announcement by the White House that it will end public tours due to sequestration, Rep. Louie Ghomert, R-Texas, filed an amendment to the House GOP's six-month continuing resolution that would prevent President Obama from using federal dollars to go golfing, a favorite pastime of his, until the tours are reinstated.
Gohmert's amendment to H.R. 933 states:
"None of the funds made available by a division of this Act may be used to transport the president to or from a golf course until public tours of the White House resume."

The Legendary Faron Young Sits Down With Ralph Emery
Subscribe to KXRB-AM 1000 on
Wasn't it great to turn on the TV back in the 'Nashville Network' days and see who Ralph Emery might have on the couch?
Ralph was kind of the Johnny Carson of Nashville, and everybody who was anybody would stop by, sing a song or two, and then meander on over to the chair (or couch, depending on who else might be on) and shoot-the-breeze with Ralph about, well, almost anything.
In this great clip, the Country Music Hall of Famer Faron Young talks with Ralph. Let's listen in…

Next week the Sundance Channel premieres a new reality series -- though, by some accounts, it's already a hit.
People have been buzzing about Girls Who Like Boys Who Like Boys for months. The show follows gay men ... and the straight women who love them. (I know I can relate.)
In the pilot, viewers are introduced to a series of devoted couples who bicker, hug, cry and depend on each other just like most duos do, only these happen to consist of folks with differing sexual preferences. Some are looking for love, while others are in happy relationships. Pretty much all of them dress well.
One of my favorite couples in the bunch is Elisa and David, who run a vintage clothing store in New York. They met in 1983 at NYU.
"I don't know what drew me into her (dorm) room, whether it was the Joni Mitchell albums or whether it was the smell of cannabis," David muses.
You can learn more about them here:
The Sundance Channel has tons of video from all cast members on its website. (Some isn't appropriate for the workplace.) Get ready for the series premiere, which happens Dec. 7 at 10 p.m. ET.

From 60 seconds of freefall skydiving, being chased by a pig, surfing beautiful beaches and attending a festival of 18,000 Elvis impersonators, Chief Funster Andrew Smith has seen and done it all.
The Californian native has spent the last six months proving that New South Wales is the "most fun" place in the world. How did he do this? By travelling across the state, from regional cities to its far reaches, recording and sharing his experiences on social media.
After documenting over 821,000 experiences as part of the Funster Experiment, Smith is hanging up his Chief Funster hat.
"Calling Sydney and New South Wales home has been a dream come true," he said in a statement.
"I've had an incredible time and would encourage anyone with a passion for travel and sense of adventure to come here for work, study and play.
"It's a place that will positively change your life forever."
Smith was named Chief Funster and given the task of completing the experiment after being named one of the six Tourism Australia's Best Job in the World winners. The global competition was launched in March 2013.
The Funster Experiment required Smith to uncover 802,000 "moments of fun", one for each square kilometre of the state, with real-time tracking of his adventure challenge.
Smith ended up with a tally of over 821,000 "fun moments" that included: taking 2,105 steps to climb the Sydney Harbour Bridge; stomping on 1,500 grapes in the Hunter Valley; doing two hot laps with The Stig at Top Gear Festival Sydney; and seeing 18,000 Elvis impersonators at Parkes Elvis Festival.
Even with such a long list of "fun" experiences, Smith's favourite moment by far was skydiving in Wollongong. A 60-second experience, he believes was made most memorable by the views of the coastline and national parks above this seaside city.
"New South Wales is huge and truly has it all," he said in the statement.
"Every day, everywhere I went, I was blown away by the diversity."
Over the past six months, Smith has attended over 40 events, made 419 Instagram posts, received over 230,000 likes on Facebook, made 994 tweets and posted 13 videos on Youtube.
A video compilation of Smith's fun moments in New South Wales has been watched by over 113,000 people. The video shows Smith feeding pelicans in The Central Coast, riding a bull and being chased by a pig in Tamworth, taking a dip in The Big Swim in Sydney, and caving in the Blue Mountains.
Tourism Australia has not yet announced if they will continue with the Funster campaign. For Smith, whose role as New South Wale's Chief Funster concludes on Wednesday, 18 June, more travelling is on the agenda. This time, his travels will include the rest of Australia.
Destination NSW says Smith's role has helped youth interest to the state with increased the number of visitors to its campaign website.
According to Tourism Research Australia, New South Wales has received the highest number of youth visitors since the International Visitor Survey (IVS) began in 2006. It says there has been a 5 per cent spike to 999,200 for the year ending March 2014, as well as a 5 per cent increase in the number of nights spent in New South Wales by youth travellers during the period.
