alnite replied to Awoken's topic in GDNet LoungeOne game called Ishar, a first-person team-based RPG. I played that game day and night for days, till my computer was toasted. Starcraft was another game that I got addicted to. Uncharted Waters was another RPG I got hooked. I played this so much that I could draw the map of the world with pretty good accuracy and proportion. Then there are NES games that I still play even recently. I could do no-death speedrun of Contra and Ninja Gaiden I and III. I have lost some of the timings now, but trying to get those back.
alnite replied to irreversible's topic in GDNet LoungeSome companies do this, most notably and recently is Yahoo! Mail (gasp! yes I am still using that). They would let users know before the update, and let them have the option to try it, and a feedback button. Yes at least Yahoo Mail is doing all things right when it comes to software and managing changes, although the company as a whole is a completely different story. Why they do this? I am pretty sure it varies from one company to another. On one I used to work at, it was because the product managers had a lot pressure to drive more users, clicks, and views, and when they had exhausted all options, usually a UI redesign is on the list of things to try. Did they test it out? Yes. They conduct AB testing, but I am pretty sure as a user you either see it or you won't ever. I remember catching Amazon.com UI change back several years ago. They don't seem to move forward with that idea. What about Skype or Spotify? Maybe they did, maybe they didn't. *shrugs*
Well, I still don't know what country you are from, so I am just going to assume somewhere in Eastern Europe. At least for me, there wasn't much historical coverage on Eastern European history. And to this day, I would still find interesting bits of facts about that region. All the things I have said about European colonization I guess would apply to western Europeans (starting from Germany-ish), e.g UK, Belgium, France, Netherlands, Spain, Portugal. I think Eastern Europe and Central Asia (Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, the -stans) is where the east truly meets the west, a true blend of cultures. Here in America, they would typically use "East meets West" when there's a white actor in a Jackie Chan movie, or a dating ad.
Why not. Actually discussing history should be encouraged, as long as nobody is trying to smear/hide what actually happened no matter how dark and bleak. Since I have never lived in Europe, and the longest period I have ever put my feet on European soil was just over one week, here's what I think (and was taught) happened in Europe chronologically: 1. Greek Philosophy and democracy happened. 2. Then the Roman Empire happened. Lots of the blood spilled, lots of war, but in the end, several hundred years of Roman civilization. The Romans kind-of took the Greek's philosophy and democracy into practice at a larger scale. Also, administration and aqueducts. 3. Roman Empire collapsed, then nothing happened for close to 1000 years (?) except misery, the Black Plague, and corrupt Catholic Church, until the Renaissance. 4. Renaissance happened, lots of paintings and sculptures, science, and also the crusader wars with the Ottoman. 5. Then the colonization happened, where Europeans suddenly got rich from enslaving dozens of countries. If you want to talk about politics, this is where the "white man's fault" or "whitewashing of history" practically begins its history. As someone with Asian background, we all knew that the Asians (not just the Chinese, but also Indians, Persians, Middle Eastern) had explored and traded with other continents (including America) and countries long before the Renaissance happened, but none of us really had the urge to invade or colonize at the scale of what the Europeans did (one major exception is the Mongols and the Huns, although the Huns were more barbaric in nature and cared less about building an empire). Now back to present. Many people outside of Europe still believe that Europeans are still reaping the rewards of the colonization until today. The whitewashing of history, the identity that 'white people are better looking', racial stereotypes, and so on and so forth. So much wealth and resources were earned during the colonization period that some may argue that it's still going even until today. Many countries in Europe got their 'developed' status despite their lack of natural resources, while the richer (colonized) countries who had received their independence many still stuck at the 'developing' status. They argue that this is because the Europeans purposely prevented the locals (the colonized) from receiving education because they were meant to be kept as slaves. When you give people with lack of education, lack of wealth, lack of identity, and lack of power a sudden possession of power like a country, they will turn corrupt. A typical characteristic of a 3rd world country (many of which were colonies) is a corrupt and authoritarian government but does not know how to run a country. Anyway, that's what I think of Europe, and many other people perhaps more-or-less share this view. I am not labeling the present Europeans evil, but do think that they are enjoying many benefits that they are taking for granted from the colonization era. Because of this, any white person (European/America/Australian) who formed strong and vocal but distasteful opinions of how other race look, or how people in other countries live, or (appropriation of) their culture, can receive backlash due to the assumed ignorance from living in a privileged life at the expense of others. Kind of like an ex-master who criticized how an ex-slave should live when the master himself had imposed so much damage physically and psychologically to the slave. I also think this is why the White-Black relations in America is taking a very long time to heal. You don't cripple someone then make fun of them for sitting on a wheelchair.
alnite replied to grumpyOldDude's topic in GDNet LoungeI am quite of an oddball like yourself. I don't own any modern console. Last one that I am still using is a PS3 for Netflix and media center. My laptop is running Linux. So I would only play mobile games now, but even that is limited to one game at a time. If I got into a game, I would endlessly play that game for a few months straight, and really get into it. But once I quit, I delete it and never look back. Right now I am playing none, and the bar is set pretty high for me to get into any game now. I am somewhat jealous of my gamer friends, or reading the threads on /r/gaming. I can't seem to get into it much because most games nowadays are quite demanding of your time, and also money thanks to freemium and DLC. Yet, somehow they still find that joy of gaming.
alnite replied to Gian-Reto's topic in GDNet LoungeWell, The biggest reason was because I was watching these movies for free (in hotel room and in-flight movies) :D. If I had paid, I would have forced myself to sit through them. SPOILERS ALERT
alnite replied to Gian-Reto's topic in GDNet LoungeIt's been several years since I keep up with Hollywood movies, and this is one of the reasons why I stopped watching new movies. In Hollywood last few years, there's been a surge of movies and TV series featuring female heroines. Some of them are quite fitting, but some others are forced diversity. Ghostbusters is one of them. TBH, I don't like how they rebranded Ghostbusters, although I am very okay with Hunger Games. You don't just swap a man for a woman and expects everything fits the same. Women can be heroines in their own stories. I stopped watching Star Wars Force Awakens halfway. I stopped watching XXX Return of Xander Cage 15 mins into the movie. Put yourself on the director's seat when watching these movies, and assume every shot, every frame, and every angle is intentional; they'd become shitty movies with shitty stories. People push their agendas through movies and games, though much less on games. Blizzard games tend to be better at this, maybe because their dev teams are diverse to begin with. Maybe that's what game developers should do before attempting to insert diversity in their games. If you happen to have an all-white team members, for example, don't include some random Black/Asian/Indian symbolisms and call it diversity. I find reality to be much more interesting than man-made stories of Hollywood and video games. Real people with real stories. They are many untold stories from all civilizations, much more than Hollywood can and want to cover.

alnite replied to Alundra's topic in General and Gameplay ProgrammingYou'd only typically worry about this when you are transferring data from one system to another, and that check should still apply even today. But, it's not a compile-time check "is my architecture big or little endian?", more like a runtime-check "is this byte array using big or little endian?" I typically just dictate that on the format of the file, that whoever is de/serializing it should use that endian regardless of the system. If you are saving game data from and for a particular system only, then you should use whichever the architecture uses.
alnite replied to Alundra's topic in General and Gameplay ProgrammingNope. Never safe to say anything like that. It's like structural engineers saying "we don't need to take earthquakes into account because we haven't had earthquake in the last 50 years anyway."
alnite posted a topic in Coding HorrorsI was just parsing huge text files without some sort of formatting. The only thing seemed apparent is that in each row the fields are separated by spaces, and there is a fixed number of fields in each row. The number of spaces are not the same throughout the file. To throw a bit more challenge to the mix, there is a date field somewhere in there in the form of "Wednesday February 10, 2000". It looked something like this: " John 10 20 Wednesday Febuary 10, 2000 Dexter 19.9 " I was reading the file, one line at a time, and start extracting the fields. I knew to not split by a space because otherwise the date field would be separated. I got an idea, how about I split by two spaces? This would put the date field into one field as expected, and automatically trim all those extra spaces in the middle. The code worked like a charm. Sometimes you'd get an extra space tagged to a field, but it could be easily removed with a simple call to trim. I wrote the tests to try various numbers of spaces, and the code can even detect invalid lines and drop them as not to corrupt the data. This was done through a simple check of the number of fields parsed, which should return 6 for all of them. Great. So I started parsing the real text files, and..got an empty result back, as in no lines were being parsed. Huh, what did I do wrong? I came back to the test data, and messed with it in many other different ways, including putting more spaces at the front and at the end of each line. The tests all came back successfully. The code successfully parsed the fields. Then, what did go wrong? An hour and dozen of printf statements later, I found out that all the lines from the real text files came back with 7 fields instead of the expected 6, and the last field is an empty string. "How did that get in there?" I copy-pasted some lines from the real files to my tests to make sure that I did not go crazy, and sure enough those lines failed tests even though they looked identical. What made them different? I turned on "show whitespace" on editor, and saw no tab characters, and I started thinking if there was some alternative unicode for a space that's messing with me. Then I started counting the trailing spaces..and they came back odd.
alnite replied to suliman's topic in GDNet LoungeI love games with this genre. I am not aware of any game where you can rotate 360 of any ship. But if you are doing research, these are (not exhaustive) the types of ships that was used back then during the Age of Exploration and around that period: Caravel Latina/Redonda Xebec Nau/Carrack (Christopher Columbus' ships) Galleon Man-of-War Sloop Pinnace Frigate Venetian Galleass Buss Full-rigged ship Asian ships: Junk Tekkousen (iron-armored ship) You can research these types of ships on Wikipedia/Google which will probably give you a better and more accurate representation.

Idaho Wage Garnishment Laws
When someone (a debtor) from Idaho owes someone else (a creditor) money as a result of a legal order (a judgment) and doesn't pay, what can the person owed money do? One possibility is to garnish the debtor's wages.
Wage garnishment is when part of a debtor's wages or salary are sent to the creditor, to satisfy a judgment. Wage garnishment merely happens to be one of the best known and most common kinds of garnishment—any money owed or belonging to a debtor, which happens to be in the possession or control of a third party, can be garnished. Garnishment is available for any debt, including consumer debts, taxes, alimony and child support, promissory notes, debts from breach of contract, and debts resulting from any lawsuit.
A common misconception about garnishment is that a creditor can do this on its own. It can't; before there can be garnishment, the creditor needs a legal determination—the judgment—that it is owed money, and to effectuate or carry out the garnishment, it needs another court order.
Idaho Garnishment Exemptions and Non-Exemptions
States can establish exemptions to garnishment, protecting certain types of income from being garnished. Idaho has been unusually protective of debtors, and has carved out a great number of exemptions for non-wage, non-salary sources of income:
- Social Security: under federal law, it can only be garnished for child support, alimony, federal taxes, and certain other debts to the federal government. However, Idaho goes further and completely exempts Social Security from garnishment.
- Pensions: not only are public employee, including police and firefighter, pensions protected as in most states, but all retirement benefits are protected from garnishment.
- Public assistance or benefits: almost every form of public assistance or benefit is protected from garnishment, including workers' compensation; unemployment benefits, aid to families with dependent children; veteran's benefits; general assistance; and aid to the blind, aged, and disabled. Note, however, that some of these forms of aid, such as worker's compensation, are only protected up to the level the recipient needs for his or her own support; and some are subject to being garnished by a court order for the support of another (e.g. child support).
- Insurance benefits: many insurance benefits are also protected, including annuities (up to $1,250 per month); death or disability benefits; group life insurance benefits; life insurance if the policy specifies that it is exempt from garnishment for creditors; and medical, surgical, etc. benefits.
- Alimony or child support, up to the level needed for support.
In Idaho, if you are receiving some non-wage or non-salary income, there is a good chance it is exempt from garnishment
Idaho Maximum Threshold
Like a number of other states, Idaho follows federal law in terms of the maximum amount garnished. Even for non-exempt income, only a certain amount or percentage can be garnished. Under federal law, the lesser of the following may be garnished:
- A total of up to 25% of disposable income (across all debts and garnishments); or
- The amount by which a debtor's weekly income exceeds 30 times the minimum wage
The purpose of the second criteria is to allow the debtor something to live on, by guaranteeing him or her at least earnings equivalent each week to working 30 hours at minimum wage.
The maximum amount which can be garnished is not based on gross income, but on "disposable income." However, for garnishment purposes, disposable income is defined differently than it's used in common parlance. To most people, "disposable income" is the remaining income after necessary expenses, including food, shelter, utilities, medical insurance or care, and transportation. For garnishment purposes, though, disposable income is ALL income left after legally required payroll deductions, like FICA. Since there are not that many deductions mandated by law—and even deductions required by an employer (such as for health insurance) or a union (like dues) are not considered, since they are not required by law—the vast majority of someone's income will be considered "disposable income."
In addition, under federal law, certain debts, such as child support and debts for taxes, allow more of the debtor's income can be garnished. (Much more: potentially up to 50 % or more of a debtor's income.)
Idaho Statute of Limitations
A statute of limitations is the time to sue or the time to enforce a judgment. Both types of statute are relevant to garnishment, since first the creditor must sue and win, then he, she, or it must enforce the judgment.
In Idaho, the most common limitations periods for consumer debts will be:
- Four years, for open accounts (credit cards) and oral/verbal contracts
- Five years, for written contracts
Once the creditor has a judgment, in Idaho, the creditor has essentially forever to seek garnishment. The statute of limitations for enforcing an Idaho judgment is 5 years, and for enforcing a judgment from a non-Idaho court is 6 years; however, the creditor may renew those periods of time, extending the time to enforce a judgment indefinitely.
Writ of Garnishment in Idaho
Garnishment is a tool for enforcing a judgment. That means it comes after the creditor has already won in court, and after the debtor has already had an opportunity to defend him- or herself. Therefore, while the debtor will get notice of the garnishment, in the majority of cases, the debtor's own involvement in garnishment is minimal, the key issues involving the debtor having already been litigated.
The process of obtaining garnishment involves the creditor, armed with the judgment in its favor, applying in writing to the court for garnishment. This is fairly straightforward: the creditor states that money is due to it; the debtor has not yet paid; garnishment is believed necessary to satisfy the debt; and that a third party called the "garnishee" (e.g. the debtor's employer) is believed to have money available and owed to the debtor (e.g. debtor's salary or wages) which can be used for the debt.
The garnishee will then be required to verify that it owes money to the debtor. (If it does not, or if the amount which it is believed to owe is wrong, this is the time for the garnishee to present evidence or documentation correcting the matter.) Once it is established that the garnishee has debtor's money and that the judgment against the debtor is valid, the garnishee will be ordered to turn over some portion of that money for creditor's benefit. More on Stopping Wage Garnishment in Idaho.
Getting Legal Help
When faced with garnishment, a debtor or alleged debtor should seek legal help immediately. Even given that there has been prior litigation (when the judgment was rendered), there may be ways to challenge, or at least reduce, the garnishment. A few of the possibilities include:
- Was the judgment rendered incorrectly, such as by "default" when the only reason for default was that the debtor never received proper notice that it was being sued?
- Had the statute of limitations run out, for either the judgment or the garnishment?
- Is there some mistake—for example, has the wrong debtor been named, or had the debt already been paid, settled, or written off?
- Is the debtor's disposable income lower than though, so that the amount of the garnishment has to be reduced? For example, are significant portions of the debtor's income derived from exempted non-wage, non-salary sources, such as insurance proceeds, public benefits, or certain pensions?

(CNSNews.com) - Former Iowa Gov. Tom Vilsack was set Friday to become the first in a crowded field of Democrats to drop out of the race for the party's 2008 presidential nomination.
The 56-year-old former two-term governor and former chairman of the moderate Democratic Leadership Council was expected to make a formal announcement later in the day, according to campaign officials cited in wire service reports.
Last month, the Vilsack campaign described him as "the first candidate of either party to condemn the McCain-Bush Doctrine of escalating the war in Iraq."
Vilsack - who filed documents to establish a presidential campaign committee the day after the November mid-term elections - has fared miserably in opinion polls since then.
In Gallup/USA Today polls, he obtained a single point in November and one point again the following month. In January and February polls, he failed to register at all. Vilsack scored one percent in a Granite State poll earlier this month.
(The Feb 9-11 Gallup/USA Today poll gave Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.) 40 percent, followed by Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) at 21. Former Vice President Al Gore - who is not officially running - got 14 percent and former North Carolina Sen. John Edwards 13.)
Vilsack's departure leaves a large number of contenders or potential contenders in the Democratic race, including Clinton, Obama, Edwards, Sen. Chris Dodd (Conn.), New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson, Rep. Dennis Kucinich (Ohio), Sen. Joe Biden (Del), retired Gen. Wesley Clark and former Sen. Mike Gravel (Alaska).
The Republican field, or potential field, includes Sen. Sam Brownback (Kan.), Sen. John McCain (Ariz.), former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, Rep. Duncan Hunter (Calif.), Rep. Tom Tancredo (Colo.), former Virginia Gov. Jim Gilmore, Rep. Ron Paul (Texas) and former Wisconsin Gov. Tommy Thompson.

Bagels and ballpoints appeared in profusion Wednesday morning in a Jesuit High conference room, where seven Tigers baseball players joined basketball standout Jack Fleming in signing with their respective college programs.
The seven signees tied the 2011 class for the largest single-day signing group in Richie Warren's six-year tenure as coach. The group consisted of: C/RHP/3B Adrian Chacon (North Carolina), LHP John Kilichowski (Vanderbilt), 2B/SS Vincent Miniet (USF), RHP Jordan Parnell (High Point), RHP/1B/OF Daniel Portales (USF), OF Leland Saile (Navy) and RHP/SS Spencer Trayner (UNC).
Wednesday marked the start of the NCAA's early signing period for most sports other than football. The National Letter of Intent signed by the athletes is binding.
All own GPAs of 3.1 or better, with Kilichowski and Saile currently above 4.0. Three of them -- Chacon, Miniet and Saile -- hit .333 or better last season, when Jesuit reached the Class 5A state tournament. On the mound, Kilichowski and Trayner both worked at least 30 innings last season, posting ERAs of well below 1.00.
Saile, who also began the 2012 football season as Jesuit's starting quarterback, is in the process of trying to receive a congressional appointment to the U.S. Naval Academy -- a prerequisite for admission. The grandson of a Vietnam War veteran, he must serve a minimum five years of military service upon his commissioning after graduation from the Academy.

Sears Says Lampert Will Remain as CEO, Earning $1 Salary
Edward Lampert, the billionaire hedge-fund manager who controls Sears Holdings Corp. (SHLD), agreed to remain the retailer's chief executive officer with a $1 annual salary after taking over last month amid slumping sales.
Lampert's new contract is effective Feb. 1, according to a regulatory filing yesterday. During the first three years of his tenure, he'll participate in the company's incentive plan with a target payout of $2 million a year. Lampert, 50, will also get $4.5 million a year in Sears stock.
He took over in February after Lou D'Ambrosio stepped down for a family health matter after less than two years, as the department-store chain works to snap a streak of quarterly sales declines stretching back to May 2007. Lampert is the Hoffman Estates, Illinois-based company's fifth CEO since he merged Sears and Kmart in March 2005.
The retailer has been selling outlets and assets and last year completed the spinoff of its smaller-format Hometown and other stores in a move that raised $346.5 million from a rights offering and a $100 million cash dividend from Sears Hometown. D'Ambrosio had worked to cut inventory and debt, increase online sales and use data from loyalty-program customers to spur revenue growth.
Last month, Sears posted a fourth-quarter deficit that was larger than it had forecast. The $489 million loss, narrower than the $2.4 billion it posted a year earlier, was wider than its prediction for a loss of $280 million to $360 million, excluding the potential impact from store closings and other items. Revenue fell 1.8 percent to $12.3 billion.
Loyalty Program
In a letter to shareholders, employees and customers, Lampert highlighted improvements such as better clothing sales and the retailer's growing loyalty program.
For the current full year, analysts on average estimate the company will report a loss of $313 million and sales will fall 7.4 percent to $36.9 billion, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Sears fell 1 percent to $51.79 at 10:52 a.m. in New York. The shares had gained 26 percent this year through yesterday, compared with a 9.3 percent gain for the Standard & Poor's 500 Index.

Scott's Miracle-Gro
Dividend Yield: 3%
OK, Scotts Miracle-Gro Co. (NYSE:SMG) admittedly could use some of its own product, at least as far as earnings are concerned — while annual earnings still are on pace to grow from last year's numbers, they're still inconsistent on a quarterly basis and well behind 2009 numbers.
However, SMG's dividend has been blooming relatively steadily for the few years it's been in season. The company started paying in 2009 and increased its payout by another 8% to 32 cents in the most recent quarter, bringing the yield just over 3%.
Scotts is in the red so far this year, but there are signs that could pick up. Boyar Intrinsic Value Research head Mark Boyar tells Barron's that the baby boom favors SMG as older folks tend to garden more. Plus, he says there's a chance the company could again be taken private, and Scotts' strong business means shares likely would go at a premium.
The recession has been weighing on the company's success, as the lawn usually gets second billing when families are pinching pennies. But if consumer spending gets back on track — and recent research suggests it's poised to — expect people to hit the dirt with Scotts products in hand.

Aniston spoke a little to the press, noting that she has some non-rom-com movie projects in her future, including The Goree Girls, based on the true story of an all-female country-western band that formed at a Texas prison in the 1940s. Aniston says the band was "sort of the Dixie Chicks of their time."
She also mentioned another project, tentatively called Counterclockwise, that will focus on the studies of Ellen Langer, a renowned Harvard psychology professor.

1993 was a variable year and a bit of a challenge for growers. It began with a warm spring that ended with rain during the bloom in May, lowering crop size by 20-30% from the start. The summer was moderately cool, with several heat spikes in August and September, forcing growers to harvest in spurts of activity as ripening alternately accelerated and slowed. It was a very good year for early-ripening varietals, white grapes, and Pinot Noir.
It was a good to very good year for the Cabernets and late-ripening grapes, with complexity and moderate depth and power. But, one wonders how much better they could have been if they had enjoyed more even weather conditions. A sound vintage that turned out some excellent wines, but it is mostly outshined by the 1992s and 1994s on either side of it.
Cabernet Sauvignon has been the flagship red grape of the California wine industry for decades, and its popularity shows no sign of abating. Napa Valley is the heart of Cabernet Sauvignon production and is clearly an ideal region for creating world-class wines. If any Cabernet-based wine is capable of giving Bordeaux a run for its money, it's Napa Valley's examples. However, due to the extremely high cost of purchasing and developing vineyards in California, and the cachet of Napa Valley on the label, this has largely become a category for the well-heeled wine lover.
At their best, Napa Valley's Cabernets are characterized by fruit notes of cassis, black cherry, and licorice and sweet oak notes of chocolate, mocha, cedar, and tar. Today, most of the best wines are aged entirely or almost completely in French oak barrels, which tend to produce somewhat more refined wines than do most American barrels. (These latter barrels often introduce exotic and pungent suggestions of scotch, bourbon, tar, coconut, and dill.) But the use of expensive French oak is no guarantee of a good bottle: too many wines today, due to high crop levels or insufficiently ripe fruit, do not have the stuffing to support their oakiness and can quickly be dominated or even dried out by their wood component. The best California Cabernets mellow and soften with five to ten years of bottle aging, developing more complex and less fruit-dominated notes of tobacco, leather, and earth, with mellower wood tones. Compared to the top Bordeaux, however, many California Cabernet Sauvignons merely endure in bottle rather than truly become more interesting. There are no shortage of quality producers, even if these wines are rarely values. And it remains to be seen if today's outsized showstoppers, made from superripe grapes and undeniably impressive on release, will reward extended bottle aging or will turn out to have been best suited for drinking in their youth.
Many wines labeled Cabernet Sauvignon contain small percentages of other so-called Bordeaux varieties -- chiefly Merlot and Cabernet Franc but also Petit Verdot and even Malbec (varietally labeled wines in California must contain at least 75% of the variety named).
Cabernet Sauvignon also flourishes in Washington State, Australia and even Chile. In Washington, prices have been creeping up at the high end, with some producers aiming to compete with cult wines from the Napa Valley. Consider Chateau Ste. Michelle and Woodward Canyon. In Australia, look to the Coonawarra and Margaret River regions. Chile can reveal excellent bargains to those who know where to look: Montes makes a strong range of quality bottlings, as does Casa Lapostolle.
As Cabernet Sauvignon is bold and assertive on the palate, it pairs best with foods like grilled red meats. Taken together, the proteins and fats in the food neutralize some of the stronger tannic qualities of the wine, leading to a harmonic combination that enhances both partners.

Throughout North America, the Ramah camping movement has flourished over the last 60 years. Ramah has helped strengthen Conservative Judaism and provide intensive leadership training for our own rabbis, cantors, educators and lay leadership, as well as the leadership of so many segments of organized Jewry here and in Israel. Now more than ever, with many challenges facing American Jewry, Ramah camping, with its proven record of success in building Jewish identity, can become a major Jewish force in the Southwest, partnering with Conservative organizations to inspire our youth.
The local Ramah Committee in Colorado, led by David Engleberg, Don Skupsky and other committed local leaders, has been searching for property for a number of years. Last May, committee members identified a site in Deckers, Colorado, and have been working tirelessly in Denver to broaden their committee and raise funds to purchase the land. During this process, the Ramah Committee and the leadership of the Allied Jewish Federation of Colorado, together with their partners at the Robert E. Loup Jewish Community Center, which runs its own summer camp (The J-CC Ranch Camp), agreed that the JCC and Ramah would join forces to build two camps on the one new site. The cost savings for each camp will be significant, as Ramah and the JCC will jointly support the development of the site, as well as the ongoing upkeep of camp infrastructure. The two programs will remain distinct, with each camp retaining its own mission and operating its own portion of the camp site.
A joint lay committee of Colorado-based Ramah and JCC leaders has been working hard to raise money for the land purchase. The Allied Jewish Federation of Colorado has been a crucial partner. Some very generous lead gifts have helped to reach the goal of the $3.5 million needed to acquire the site. An estimated additional $15 million is required for initial site development, the next stage of the process.
The National Ramah Commission, working with the leadership of the existing Ramah camps, will decide in the coming months on the catchment area for Ramah in the Rockies. It is anticipated that a full-service Ramah camp with state-of-the-art outdoor education and equestrian programs, along with other specialized activities, will be established.
Currently, some families in Colorado and Texas send their children to Ramah camps in California, Georgia or Wisconsin. With the creation of a new, local Camp Ramah to serve these areas, the potential number of Ramah campers and staff members will soar. There is nothing as wonderful as the spirited voices of Ramah campers and staff returning to their communities.
We congratulate the local leadership of Ramah in the Rockies on this great accomplishment, and look forward to the continued development of this important venture.

They're not paid. They can work odd hours. They're often called upon to move chairs and tables.
The perks are few. They get gaudy Hawaiian shirts. Sometimes they get a free lunch, usually burgers and fries from In-N-Out Burger. But that's about it.
And yet the eight or so volunteers who do all the little things to keep the Flight Path Learning Center at Los Angeles International Airport running say they love what they do. They're the type of people who often say they have jet fuel running through their veins. The airport is where they want to be.
They're people like 73-year-old John Eckberg, who retired in 2005 following a long career in maintenance and engineering for several airlines, including Delta. Three days a week for six hours a day, he helps out at the aviation history museum, guiding visitors, leading tours of the museum's DC-3 airplane, and helping the small paid staff set up for events.
"We're just the helpers," Eckberg said. "We do a lot behind the scenes. They treat us good. We get all the free coffee we can drink, right, Duke. "?
He leaned over and smiled at fellow volunteer Aldon "Duke" Ellington.
Ellington is 84, another member of the three-day-a-week, six-hour-a-day club, and a more than 50-year veteran of the aviation industry. He finished his career in maintenance for Cathay Pacific after working 36 years for now defunct Pan American World Airways.
Ellington said he also can't think of a better way to spend his time. He said he relishes sharing aviation history with the museum's visitors.
"I'm not a golfer," he said. "This is in my blood, I guess. "
For Ellington, the museum's DC-3 is the highlight. It's parked outside the museum on LAX's tarmac just north of Imperial Highway. It reminds him of 1947, when he began his career in aviation.
He said he likes showing it to kids.
"A lot of them have never seen propeller airplanes," Ellington said. "You go out to the DC-3 and that's a thrill for a lot of them to see how it was in the old days. "
Not every prospective volunteer makes the cut. Marie Happ runs the program - she is also in charge of making the occasional In-N-Out purchase - and she said not all applicants have the right can-do attitude. Or they're not reliable.
But those who make it can be counted on. Some even take on special projects, like making signs, framing pieces or even creating new exhibits. Patience is a required trait, as some of the museum's daytime visitors are developmentally disabled.
"They're from the old school," Happ said of her volunteers. "Responsible. Dependable. "
There are some younger volunteers, too. While they don't have the decades of experience of Eckberg and Ellington, all volunteers share the duo's zest for aviation.
Jorge Chavez, 32, is one of them. He volunteers every Saturday. In addition to leading visitors through the museum, he helps staff produce videos. One of them is a 10-minute video on the space shuttle Endeavour's 2012 brief but logistically complicated trip from LAX to the California Science Center in Exposition Park.
Chavez has a full-time job, and yet he says there's nowhere he would rather be on his weekends.
"I find it extremely rewarding," he said. "It's an opportunity to hang out and enjoy the hobby and the history and share that with other people. I don't really see it as work. It's not really that. It's more like play in a sense. "
Plus, he gets to wear that snazzy Hawaiian shirt, the one emblazoned with palm trees and the letters L-A-X. All the volunteers say visitors ask where they can buy them.
But they're not for sale. And full-time staff don't even get them.
They're just for those who work for free.
"We get a lot of compliments on these, by the way," Eckberg said with a grin. "People really like the shirts. "

Europa: Color, Photometry, and the Appearance of Surface Features
C.B. Phillips, A.S. McEwen, P.E. Geissler (LPL), B.E. Clark (Cornell), R. Sullivan, R. Greeley (ASU), Galileo SSI Team
The new Europa images currently being acquired by the Galileo spacecraft, in addition to the Voyager dataset, provide an excellent starting point for understanding the properties of Europa's icy surface. Classification of spectral units on the surface of Europa is important for relative age dating of surface features [1,2], but first we must normalize variations due to photometric angles and global exogenic modification pattern(s). Accurate cartography is also important to compare tectonic features with global-scale stress patterns. We report continuing progress in the production of global-scale merged mosaics of Europa, combining Voyager and Galileo data taken in a variety of colors, resolutions, and phase angles [3]. Due to the limited nature of this dataset, understanding how the appearance of surface features changes due to various perturbations of these parameters is necessary for compositional analysis, geologic mapping and classification of features, and relative age dating. Overlapping datasets can also be merged to produce images which retain characteristics of each individual observation. We will show examples in which low-resolution color, medium-resolution albedo, and high-resolution topography observations have been combined to produce a single image which reveals both spectral information and relative ages of surface features. As described by Geissler et al [1], distinct spectral units of the surface may represent different exposure ages of surface material, which could have important implications for the geologic history of Europa, and by extension the other Galilean satellites. It is our hope that a careful analysis of the merged Galileo-Voyager dataset for Europa will result in an improved understanding of this problem.

We Loved It!: Veendam Cruise Review by Caribbean Voyage
Overall Member Rating
We Loved It!
Destination: Bermuda
Embarkation: New York (Manhattan)
The ship offered extraordinary room service. Every morning I'd have coffee and danish sent to the room, and every morning this wonderful gentleman from room service would call me to make sure everything was all right. This was such a special touch!
Also, their entertainment in the lounges was spectacular. Don the Piano Man was a tremendous performer as well as a talented pianist, and the man on the electric guitar was very entertaining as well. However, the production shows were very mediocre -- too loud, too canned and came across as being amateurish.
The food on the ship was very good -- not exactly gourmet, but very good. The big problem is the main dining room at night. It took us 2 More 1/2 hours to eat there. The service was extremely slow because Holland America has cut back on the wait staff, and these overworked people just had too many tables. Finally, I just asked the waiter to bring everything at once. I couldn't take the half hour waits between courses. Toward the end of the cruise, we ate dinner up on the Lido deck because it was convenient and much more private. Everyone on the ship was talking about these cut backs on staff, but it was most noticeable in the dining areas. Another problem was the lack of attention given to Mariner guests. We were supposed to get a pin -- never happened, and the recognition lunch was a poorly planned event with no special awards given out. The Mariners were generally neglected - something Holland America has never done before. I don't think cutting costs on recognizing your best customers is a good idea.
Holland America also destroyed the aft pool area by ripping out the most gorgeous pool to make room for more cabins. They added hot tubs and big thick walls that look right out of Carnival. Needless to say, like most guests, we never went back there. What a shame!
Also, a note about the port of Hamilton. Our cabin was on the starboard side of the ship which faced Front Street while docked. At night, all night long, we were awakened by loud rock music coming from the nightclubs. If you want a peaceful night's sleep, book a cabin on the port side of the ship.
Despite the few problems, we really liked this cruise because of the ship and also that Bermuda is paradise on Earth! I'd go again in a New York minute! Less

bob718-0wrote a question about The North Face Varius Guide Jacket - Men's on December 13, 2011
I bought this jacket last week and went...
I bought this jacket last week and went skiing with it and it felt great. However, on the day I went the weather was high 20's and sunny. I'd like to know how this coat handles on the mountain for skiing when the temp is in the teens and high wind chill. Will this work with proper layering, or should I get something more substantial?
I've asked this before, but would like to hear from those that have used this coat in extreme cold and their thoughts on its performance.

We had reported earlier today that Italian club Roma were interested in Newcastle's Italian International left-back Davide Santon.
This is why Davide Santon doesn't want to leave Newcastle
Newcastle are asking £10M for the Italian, even though he has said a number of times that he is happy on Tyneside and wants to stay.
But with Mike Ashley's Newcastle it's all (or should we say only) about the money, and as soon as any club comes in with £10M for the 23 year-old Italian he's gone, and it doesn't even matter what Alan Pardew thinks.
Ashley putting a price on every single player's head was first seen back in late August of 2008, when Kevin Keegan had to try to explain to the press why James Milner had suddenly been sold to Aston Villa for £12M.
Kevin said that he didn't want to sell James, but that every player has his price – which sounded very odd coming from Kevin.
Of course Kevin left Newcastle within days of Milner leaving, when Dennis Wise brought in two players Kevin hadn't even heard of – Xisco and on-loan midfielder Ignacio Gonzalez, but Wise gave him some YouTube videos, so at least he would know who they were and how they played.
Xisco was a flop and played 11 times for Newcastle over his five year contract – which was said to be worth £50K/week – so those 11 appearances and one goal cost Newcastle around £12.5M in wages alone, and the fee was £5.7M from Deportivo.
And Gonzalez made only two substitute appearances, and was injured most of that season, which turned out to be our relegation season.
So it seems in this summer's transfer window we are again dependent on other bugger clubs, as to which players we will keep this summer.
Davide Santon will not be at Newcastle come September, if any club comes in with the £10M fee, and we'll have to replace him if he is sold.
This is no way to run a football club – not a successful one in any case.
Football is more than just about money, it's about building up a top squad who can win, and you cannot do that if you keep selling your players.
What do you think?
Comments welcome.

There's your problem (in bold). MediaWiki thinks that a parameter "http://www.google.come/search?source" should be defined, rather than having that mess as parameter 2. You can fix the template to have {{{2}}} become {{{url}}} and just use url=(that mess) where you just have the URL.

A growing mood of antimilitarismand a cult of détente
British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain emerged from the 1938 Munich Conference, having ceded a slice of Czechoslovakia to Hitler, and made his slogan "peace in our time" synonymous with disastrous appeasement. Chamberlain's policy was largely a reflection of the popular pacifist sentiment in prewar Britain. Only a hopeless alarmist would suggest that such calamitous history might be repeating itself today. But Western military experts and policymakers are undeniably concerned by an increasing reluctance by Europe's man-in-the-street to accept the necessity of self-defense.

Summer- Ahhhhh, yes. Sunshine, swimming pools, tank tops and flippy flops (Which in turn gives me a fabulous excuse to say 'I really need a pedicure'.) LOVE IT. Oh, and not to forget the grill. Nothing defines summer more than the smell of a fired up grill on a smoldering Texas evening. The versatility of the grill is nameless- overwhelming the shelves with cookbooks and grill tools, you can practically prepare anything on the grill, whether it be wood-fired, charcoal, and even propane (I admit, I've got one of these.) I was browsing my William Sonoma summer catalog and came across some really neat items, from a Vertical Chicken Roaster to a Pizza Stone, the possibilities are endless!

With that being said- you must not miss out on this grill gadget, even a woman can appreciate! The Nonstick Grill Basket makes it so easy to grill delicate items likes seafood and vegetables. The openings in the grill basket allow for even cooking over a hot grill. Make plans to pick up one of these for something easy and different for any night of the week.
2 large zucchini squash, sliced thick
2 medium yellow summer squash, sliced thick
1 lb asparagus, cut into thirds
1 medium red onion, sliced thick
1 red bell pepper, sliced
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
Preheat your grill to medium heat. In a large bowl toss together the first 6 ingredients of vegetables. Drizzle the olive oil over the vegetables and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss together until coated well. Pour veggies into the grill basket or pan and place directly over the heat. Cover grill and allow to cook, tossing every 5-6 minutes. Continue cooking until vegetables are softened, about 25 minutes. Remove from heat and serve immeadiately. (or place a foil tent over the basket until ready to serve.)

Yesterday, I posted a blog on Babble Kid Scoop (why yes, I do blog there, thank you for asking), titled Fear of Dying Was NOT in the Baby Books. I wrote about how becoming a mother has made me very afraid of anything related to death, especially my own mortality. It's true, I think about it all the time, daily even. It's exhausting to be "perpetually terrified" (my lovely new friend Candace said that in her comment on the Babble post, and I thought it fit how I feel perfectly). I'll be honest, I don't talk about this kind of thing EVER, but after experiencing these feelings for over eight years, I thought it might be time to get it out. I'm not sure why, but I sat down and wrote that post very quickly, and hesitated about posting it. I was worried about the reaction, truth be told.
Within the hour, the post had hundreds of hits, and many great, supportive comments. I was shocked, because every person who commented spoke of having experienced similar feelings, and here I thought I was the only one. Seriously. It was a very liberating feeling.
For me, this is why I started blogging. I needed a community of people that I could relate to, commiserate with, learn from. That is what blogging and Twitter and social media has done for me. It's a wonderful thing, not to feel alone about one's experience as a mother, as a woman, as a person.
So I guess the point of this post was to say a big thank you for your support, here and on Babble and Twitter and wherever we may interact. I appreciate you!

"I'm Waiting for the Man" by The Velvet Underground (VIDEO)
Listen to "I'm Waiting for the Man" by The Velvet Underground, No. 13 on our list of the 100 best NYC songs.
Wed Mar 7 2012
13. The Velvet Underground, "I'm Waiting for the Man" (1967)
Like many of the Velvets' songs that focus on New York City's dark underbelly, "I'm Waiting for the Man" is supposedly based on fact. Legendary downtowner Lou Reed wrote this gritty track about scoring heroin for $26 at a Harlem brownstone—which he claims is a true story, aside from the price he paid. The song addresses the daily issues of addiction—traveling to a sketchy neighborhood, impatiently waiting for the dealer and coping with an angry girlfriend. Even the frantic drumbeat reflects a junkie's anxiety.

Missouri politicians are trying to remove Mark McGwire's name from a six-mile section of Interstate 70 in the St. Louis area now that the former Cardinals slugger has admitted to using steroids.
It's been the Mark McGwire Highway since in 1999, the year after McGwire hit a then-record 70 home runs to break Roger Maris' record.
But that was then.
The Missouri state senate now wants the portion of the road to honor author Mark Twain. The measure goes to the House. (Click here for some background from the St. Louis Post-Dispatch)
Republican Sen. Kurt Schaefer believes it might be prudent to name roads only for dead people, as they can't do anything that would cause a name change. McGwire is back with the Cardinals in his first season as hitting coach.

I have an account that has maggots in the cracks of the concrete next to the building. The maggots are in the hundreds. The compactor is in the same area. I have treated the crack with a microencapsulated product which did not work. I have not dealt with this issue before and do not know where to go from here. Some guidance in the treatment would be greatly appreciated.
I'll go with the fact that these are, indeed, maggots, and thus probably from blow flies. I have also seen some great images of a rare phenomenon where thousands of small fly larvae of fungus gnats are migrating en masse out from under a concrete slab, perhaps heading off to a better place to pupate. But, this is pretty unusual and these larvae are far smaller than your typical maggot.

Boulder, CO (SPX) Nov 12, 2012
Understanding Earth's paleo-hurricane record cannot be more timely and important in a light of Hurricane Sandy, which shocked the U.S. East Coast last week. Talks in this Wednesday afternoon session at the GSA Annual Meeting in Charlotte, North Carolina, integrate field, lab, and model analysis of past hurricanes and future scenarios, covering a wide range of temporal and spatial scales.
Session co-organizer Daria Nikitina of West Chester University says that "gaining understanding of past events provides the context for future coastal vulnerability. Given predicted global warming, the frequency and magnitude of severe weather events will probably increase and with it the likelihood of more coastal devastation" like that witnessed in New Jersey, New York, and Connecticut last week, as well as associated weather events further inland.
Presenter Scott P. Hippensteel of the University of North Carolina at Charlotte will talk on "The effectiveness of traditional paleotempestology proxies in backbarrier marshes from the Southeastern Atlantic Coast". Writing for the Geological Society of America's science and news magazine, GSA Today, in 2010, he notes, "Growing populations and recent hurricane activity along the Atlantic and Gulf coastlines have made clear the need for a more accurate and extensive record of storm activity" (GSA Today, v. 20, no. 4, p. 52).
He also writes that "the field of paleotempestology has never been of more importance," especially "in the current period of climate change" (GSA Today, p. 53).
As early as 2001, presenter Jeffrey P. Donnelly of Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution addressed "Sedimentary evidence of intense hurricane strikes from New Jersey" (Geology, v. 29, no. 7, p. 615). In the article, he warns, "Intense storms present a significant threat to lives and resources and can result in significant alteration of coastal environments."
He discusses, "The most famous storm affecting the New Jersey shore in the twentieth century was the Ash Wednesday northeaster of March 5-8, 1962... Storm surge associated with this storm overtopped many of the barrier islands of the New Jersey coast and deposited overwash fans across backbarrier marshes there." In Wednesday's session, Donnelly will speak about "Late Holocene North Atlantic hurricane activity" at 1:35 p.m.
Michael E. Mann of The Pennsylvania State University, who spoke earlier this week in a late-breaking panel on Hurricane Sandy, will deliver a talk on "Relationships between basin-wide and landfalling Atlantic tropical cyclones: Comparing long-term simulations with paleoevidence".
Online at Session 266: T118. Paleotempestology: Proxy Record Development and Climate Forcing Mechanisms - Heading the session with Nikitina are Andrea D. Hawkes of the University of North Carolina Wilmington and Jon Woodruff of the University of Massachusetts Amherst. Hawkes is a co-author on the Donnelly talk; Woodruff is a co-author on a talk presented by Christine M. Brandon, also at U-Mass-Amherst, "Constraining hurricane wind speed at landfall using storm surge overwash deposits from a sinkhole in St. Marks, FL."

I have a million dollar view covered behind a million traces of mold window that cannot be cleaned :). This company installed 4 casement style Dixie Super window thermal with tripple pane glass filled with crypton gas between all panes. There was supposely a 50 year warranty on entire window, it's been 6 years since the installation and the windows are filling up with an ugly black mold between the tripple pane. It is impossible to clean them as it is inside. Now my million dollar view is almost totally obstructed by the black mold covering almost the entire window and it gets worst every day. I try to contact the company regarding this problem but I did not get an answer from them. Please stay away from this company. They do crappy work and do not help you at all.
