Hi all,
I have been researching the cutting of the cord for a couple weeks now and have some questions I hope can be answered.
I live in Venice, Fl and according to tvfool the broadcasting towers are just over 40 miles from my house
I was looking at antenna's and trying to choose between the Clearstream 4 or the Antennas Direct DB8e but am confused about the VHF part. Some of the reviews say that these do not receive VHF channels unless the towers are very close (fox and cw channels I believe) Do I need a separate type antenna to pick the VHF channels or will I not be able to view them?
**just saw the ad on the right as I was typing this for the Spectrum8 digital TV antenna. Is this a better antenna option for my location?** (reading more it says it only connects to one tv so I guess I can not split it in the attic to feed the other TV's?
Another question is about the networking and how it all comes together.
I have a Windows 7 Pro computer I plan on installing a 3TB drive in and using it for recording shows with WMC.
I have one xbox 360 in my son's room for his basic tv.
An Xbox One (no xbmc yet) connected to a smart tv with hulu plus, Netflix, amazon prime etc built in.
Another xbox 360 connected to our living room basic tv.
My daughters room has a basic tv and a basic blue ray player connected.
And my bedroom has a network capable blue ray home theater system that has Netflix, hulu, vudu, etc., connected to a basic tv (no smart features)
From reading over web sites the antenna is connected to a splitter that feeds the different rooms (using a booster if necessary). One coax goes to a device that connects to the windows 7 computer to enable the dvr recording.
This leads to my last question (in two parts).
First part. Which device is best suited to use in the computer so I can record shows? I have seen the Hauppage devices and they seem ok review wise. Are there better options?
Second part, What device do I need to then see the recorded shows on the smart tv, my bedroom, and the living room?
Or is it one device that does both?
The living room will have an xbox 360 connected so we will be able to see recorded content through the xbmc connecting to wmc on the windows 7 computer correct?
That leaves the smart tv and my bedroom tv.
I appreciate any information and hope I did not post this in the wrong forum.
For computers go here;
For the others try here;
corrected 1st link
Recording free OTA TV for 'time shifting' has been here since 1977. Will there be DVR's to do the same when ATSC3 obsoletes existing DVR's??
The Xbox 360s will work great as extenders regardless of what tuners you use. For the other TVs (those without extenders) you basically have two options. Either add an extender, Windows PC, XBMC or go another route and add a DLNA client at those TVs. You would only be able to view live TV and would need SiliconDust's new tuners as they feature DLNA streaming.
Thanks for the information everyone.
Charles, are you talking the homerun products? Would I need one for each tv that does not have an xbox connected to it?
Thanks again,
Yeah HDHomeRun dual tuners. The tuners are shared so you need the number equal to concurrent viewing and or recordings.

eGov Portal
A national and municipal award-winning portal stands out in OST's list of achievements which includes development of 30+ client websites relating to economic development. Our staff created a standard reusable 'web development kit' which is a key strategic element in successful recurring client implementations.
Contingent Labor Procurement MSP
OST is providing managed services to a major government, saving them time and money in their procurement of staff augmentation resources. A web portal developed by OST and a leading 3rd-party VMS provide unprecedented access, transparency, and opportunity to the client, suppliers, and the public
Multimedia Tracking System
OST staff pioneered a unique tracking system which accepts various multimedia (documents, pictures, video clips, etc.) to replace existing paper-based process for a municipal client.
Professional Licensing System
Our team developed an online professional licensing system which also affords the public extensive search capabilities. OST updates these search engines monthly to ensure for optimal accuracy and currency.
Web Presence Development
OST specialists established a web presence at municipal government's portal in order to design and produce a real-time database of archive-related research. Instantaneous public viewing and manageable tracking & report generation are two key features of this system, resulting in information more tailored to the individual customer.
Labor Management Relations Portal
OST specialists launched an initial Labor Management Relations portal for a prominent federal client which provides one-stop shopping for its worldwide user base, including readily-accessible law references through its powerful search capability.
Electronic FOIA Tracking System
OST instituted an enterprise-wide web-based tracking system housed within a federal client's intranet. Our staff experts delivered a sophisticated system exhibiting many impressive features including seamless 'Chain of Command' assignments which vary the information views depending on the privilege of the user, extensive multiple secured layers, and streamlined report generation.
Web Presence Renovation and Re-engineering
OST is currently partnering with Executive Management from a major federal client to lead efforts in web presence renovation. OST experts have stepped up to facilitate monthly Web Council meetings, strategize and recommend appropriate solutions and technologies, and provide technical solutions to facilitate collaboration and information sharing nationwide. The goal of the renovation effort is to provide a more customer-focused and secure Web presence and enable the public to efficiently locate, share, and use information, products, and services. This effort encompasses institutionalizing though governance and stewardship enterprise-wide Web management processes, ensuring compliance with and authoring policy based on Federal laws, and providing a framework for management and organization of the Web and enterprise infrastructure.

From pink screwdrivers and mini toolboxes to a surge of female-targeted home improvement sites and guidebooks, the fix-it-yourself revolution has come for women in the U.S. More empowered females are taking on household problems themselves instead of spending the money to hire a plumber, electrician or contractor.
In fact, a recent study by the Medelia Monitor showed that more than 60 percent of women are more likely to tackle the work on their own. The majority of these women (63 percent) are being more resourceful to avoid the high costs of hiring a professional. And 71 percent of women say the desire to "fix-it-myself" stems from the empowering feeling of having the knowledge to improve their home.
Sound familiar? If you'd like to empower yourself and join the fix-it-yourself revolution, start by picking up a few affordable tools and products to tackle quick fixes. Here are easy tips for solving five common household problems:
Unstick sticky windows by opening them and rubbing wax or spraying silicone into the tracks on both sides. Move the window up and down several times to work the lubricant into the frame.
Fix squeaky wood or tile floors by sprinkling baby powder on the surface of the floor that's squeaking. Then place a chisel between the boards and gently hammer the top to pry up the tile or floorboard. Sprinkle more baby powder underneath the board to seal the excess space causing the squeaking.
If your drains are draining slowly or clogged completely, try a de-clogging gel that clears the toughest clogs at a fraction of the cost of a plumber house call.
Mend unsightly holes or tears in your window screens by using a screwdriver to straighten the bends in the mesh and dabbing clear nail polish to seal the hole. Allow it to dry. Then repeat the polish application until the hole is completely sealed.
A wobbly table leg may seem hard, but it's a surprisingly easy repair. Just figure out how it's attached to the seat. Then either screw the leg back into its socket or glue it back into place.

50,100 Miles of Faulty Pipelines Pose Serious Public Safety Threat Across the US
By James Burgess of Oilprice.com
A recent article on Bloomberg described a disaster that occurred in 1976 in West Texas when an underground oil pipeline exploded, burning to death five people.
Unbeknownst to Cristobal Sustaita an eight inch pipe ran underground near to his house carrying liquefied petroleum gas. The pipe cracked along a faulty welded seam leaking the gases vapors. A cloud of LPG fumes built in the area, eventually igniting in a giant fire ball that rose 200 feet into the air, and covered an area nearly a mile long and a quarter mile wide. The fire engulfed his house whilst he was out visiting his parents, killing his wife and 18 month old son.
Related article: No More Spills? New Technology Could Transform the Pipeline Sector
It was the first time that attention had been brought to the faulty welds that had been made on most pipelines laid in the US before 1970. Ever since that time more and more leaks have been reported from these pipes, caused by the faulty welds; rupturing, exploding, and killing people, despite the constant warnings released by federal investigators and private consultants.
Currently nearly a quarter of all pipelines in the US (50,100 miles) were laid before 1970 and suffer from these faulty welds, carrying their explosive cargo all over the country, and offering a very serious public safety threat.
The reason that they haven't been fixed? Industry officials estimate that to replace them all would cost in the region of $50 billion.
The US Transport Department, through the Pipeline Safety and Hazardous Materials Administration, has the power to force pipeline operators to replace the dangerous sections of pipe, but must weigh the cost of such an action, against the fact that the number of accidents caused by the faulty welds is only a small percentage of all pipeline accidents.

Carl Weimer, the executive director of the Pipeline Safety Trust, explained to Bloomberg that "there isn't a silver bullet. It's going to be a hard fix and with 50,000 miles of it in the ground, it's going to be an expensive fix."
The latest major accident caused by the faulty welds was the Exxon Mobil spill in Arkansas that covered a neighborhood in oil in March this year. This may be enough to finally force industry regulators in Washington to make a decision on how to prevent similar incidents occurring in the future. Whether it be with new, more extensive tests on the structural integrity of the pipelines, or forcing companies to dig up and replace their pipelines. By James Burgess of Oilprice.com
As the US has yet again delayed a decision on the controversial Keystone XL Pipeline designed to take the hydrocarbon product of Alberta's oil sands to the Gulf Coast, Canada pushes ahead with a strategic plan for a pipeline infrastructure to the Pacific Coast.

The 5-0 vote on May 6 came with a caveat: The city intends to look around to see whether other contractors, such as the Palo Alto Humane Society, could provide the same services for less.
"It would've been better if you'd brought us into this process a lot earlier," Mayor Ray Mueller commented, addressing project representatives at the meeting. "You probably would've had an easier time with this council."
Mr. Mueller said an earlier request could have led the city to help find private donors, for example. During the meeting, project representatives said private funding wasn't explored given the lack of public relations appeal of a facility that will house dangerous and sick animals.
Vice Mayor Cat Carlton said she was aware of at least one private organization that funds this type of project.
San Mateo County plans to replace a 60-year-old animal-holding facility on Airport Boulevard in San Mateo with a new, smaller one estimated to cost between $15.1 million and $20.2 million. The county contracts with the Peninsula Humane Society for facility operations, and in turn the 20 cities and towns contract for services.
The county asked the cities and towns that use the services to contribute toward the cost of the new facility.
Menlo Park was the last of 20 Peninsula jurisdictions to reach a decision; the others have approved the funding. Under the agreement, Menlo Park will pay $23,728 to $31,769 annually. Woodside, Portola Valley and Atherton will pay $3,000 to $13,111 annually.
Should Menlo Park abandon the contract, there is no financial penalty, but the city must give one year's notice, according to project representatives. Those cities remaining under contract would pick up the extra cost.

By NAOMI SNYDERStaff WriterWOOSTER The Wayne Economic Development Council recognized a year of transition at its 2005 annual breakfast at Memories Party & Conference Center on Tuesday.Board President Steve Matthew said the council has started to go in a new direction, looking at internal and external economic opportunities."It has been a year of transition. You typically have tension as well as transition, and we certainly had that, but we had a steady leader who was thoughtful," Matthew said, referring to 2004 board President Steve Schmid.Steve Schmid also recognized the tension the council experienced as it searched for a new executive director and direction."There has been a conflict between transition and tradition," Steve Schmid said. "We figured out we need to work with a bigger community than just Wayne County."Former interim Executive Director Chris Schmid spoke about his experience as the organization searched for a new director."When I agreed to help out during the transition, I didn't know what to expect. I learned a lot. I learned I couldn't do the job by myself," he said. "Every member of the community or region can make or break our success."Chris Schmid identified the council's three main objectives project management, coordination of tax and financial benefits and information services."It took a lot of discussion because there are a lot of other things we could focus on," Chris Schmid said.He said these other things are what networking and other area agencies bring to Wayne County's economic development table."There is a tremendous spirit of support here, and building collaboration really carries a competitive advantage," Chris Schmid said.Ed Morrison, executive director of the Center for Regional Economic Issues at Case Western Reserve University, was the keynote speaker.He said it was time for Northeast Ohio to face some "basic realities.""We have no opportunity to compete on the basis of cost, so we have to compete on the basis of innovation," Morrison said."Northeast Ohio is big enough to compete globally," said Morrison, citing the region's 4.3 million residents. "Part of the challenge to Northeast Ohio is to think globally."Morrison said the best way to address globalization is to collaborate with other regions and states."We should compete by collaboration. We have a tremendous opportunity, but also a tremendous set of legacy behaviors to overcome," Morrison said.New Executive Director Rod Crider closed the breakfast, sharing his view of Wayne County's economic development."I don't believe there is any such thing as a local economy or national economy. There are many regional economies tied together," Crider said.His goal is to highlight the fact Wooster is a quality community."Quality communities attract quality companies and jobs," Crider said.New board members Chris Schmid, Lud Huck, Steve Shapiro, Dennis Boen and Scott Wiggim were introduced during the breakfast, and exiting board members Ann Obrecht and Dan Peters were recognized.Business Editor Naomi Snyder can be reached at (330) 287-1623 or e-mail email@example.com.

The Galaxy Model for the Atom
The Galaxy Model for the Atom is a Theory of Everything
that describes matter as basically being made from smaller
versions of itself, like galaxies are made from atoms.
Atoms are modelled as spinning discs, like galaxies.
The Universe is proposed to be a fractal, based on an
atom/galaxy iteration. Galaxies are 10^22m in size.
Atoms are 10^-9m in diameter. The matter making up atoms
must be 10^-40m in size. And so on down.
This means that there is "fractal radiation", as well;
fractional emr that is 31 orders of magnitude smaller
than our own. Space must be full of these smaller
photons and neutrinos produced by the mini-suns
that make up electrons and fuse this mini-matter.
And finally, it means that none of us is alone.
We are completely awash in intelligent life that
inhabits every one of our own Milky Way
Carbon atoms.
The above animation suggests that discs may be used to
model atoms. The animation below turns these discs
once every time they precess twice in order to
provide a model for Benzene that needs no "delocalization"
or mathematical sleight-of-hand.

A pinch of Twin Peaks, a dash of Fargo, and a heaping handful of Professor Layton are the main ingredients in Puzzle Agent. Telltale Games has thrown a curveball with its latest game, ditching its usual point-and-click adventure style for pure puzzle-solving spiced up with a storyline about snowy weirdness in Minnesota. The overall game is less than the sum of its parts, though, firing on all cylinders with its quirky setting, characters, and distinctive cartoon artwork but chugging when it comes to the puzzles that you're called upon to crack.
But when it comes to setting a stage and telling a tale, Puzzle Agent succeeds brilliantly. You play as Nelson Tethers, a mousy agent in the puzzle division of the FBI who has been sent to the tiny town of Scoggins, Minnesota, to discover why the eraser factory has been shut down. To unravel the mystery, you explore the snowy hamlet and the surrounding wilderness of ice-fishing shacks, as well as spooky forests, as in a point-and-click adventure. Most of the time, you're interacting with the kooky locals, most of whom affect accents straight out of Fargo and all of whom seem to be hiding something. Garden gnomes run around the woods, a sinister cult chants in a lodge, and a grumpy guy hangs out in front of the hotel…you're dealing with a lot of first-rate weirdos who might have had something to do with the strange explosion at the eraser plant.
You really get drawn in by the story and setting. Eccentric artwork by alt-cartoonist Graham Annable (best known for his Grickle series and now working as a creative director for Telltale), gives the game a charming, offbeat personality. Characters and backgrounds resemble '60s-era animated TV shows, but with extra artistic flair like fuzzy outlines that look like those found in charcoal drawings. The game looks a lot like somebody's sketch pad just came to life. Audio is equally memorable. Every character in the game is voiced by superb actors who somehow manage not to oversell the cheesy Minnesota accents. Dialogue is a match for the talent, too. The script conveys a lot of laughs but also some dark moments that keep you on edge. One moment you're chuckling at the Marge Gunderson-sounding innkeeper; the next you're running into a guy frozen to death in the woods. And the music is understated and more than a little bit spooky, reminiscent of the tunes that scored the Twin Peaks TV show.
From there, however, the game takes a turn for the worse. Instead of picking up objects as in the usual Telltale Games effort, such as its Sam & Max games, Nelson trudges through the snowdrifts by solving set-piece logic puzzles. All are pretty standard. You figure out your room number at the Scoggins Hotel by breaking a code. Factory explosion suspects are sorted by putting surveillance photos into order. A woodstove is fired up by twisting and turning a maze of pipes. The winner of an arm-wrestling competition is figured out through clues given by the contestants. What owls and bluebirds can carry is used to decipher how many garden gnomes they're carrying. That sort of thing.
Unfortunately, weirdness is the most distinctive part of the puzzles. Many can be quite challenging, although that is mostly because they aren't explained well. You frequently have to experiment to determine what you're supposed to be doing, which hurts your final score as you're rated according to how many attempts you need to come up with the right solution. Even the hints accessed by having Nelson boost his concentration by chewing on pieces of used bubble gum found splattered around the scenery (um, eww?) often do little but muddy the waters. The early hotel room key problem, for instance, comes with a trio of hints that confuse you even more by indicating that you should be examining spaces between dashes to decipher a code when you're actually just looking to connect the dots and complete a written-out number.
While there are some high points here, Puzzle Agent isn't a fully realized game. It doesn't feel like it's all there, as if the mediocre puzzles were wedged into a sharp-looking adventure that was already finished and sitting on the shelf. A lot could have been done to liven up the mostly generic puzzles, and simply adding thorough instructions and sensible hints would have gone a long way toward making the game more playable. With that said, the price is just $10 and there is a lot of room for the game to grow, as it is just the first in a planned series of episodes.

Chris Read scored his 1100th run of the season and will resume day two unbeaten on 78 after Notts closed on 294-8 against relegation-haunted Sussex.
Needing to take 20 wickets to stand any chance of avoiding relegation, Sussex won the toss and elected to field but made little progress in a morning session punctuated by the sole dismissal of Alex Hales who went lbw to Lewry.
Hales shared an opening stand of 70 alongside Bilal Shafayat who struck a four off the first ball of the day and went on to make a useful 45 before Samit Patel joined Mark Wagh at the crease and shared a 51-run partnership.
Samit deflected a Martin-Jenkins delivery on to his stumps and was quickly followed by younger brother Akhil who went for a fourth ball duck on his Championship debut, lbw to Dwayne Smith.
The wobble continued when Ali Brown edged to Rory Hamilton-Brown at second slip for 10 but that signalled the arrival of Read, the model of consistency for Nottinghamshire this season, and his 78 included 10 fours and a six.
Indian spinner Piyush Chawla removed Mark Wagh (67), Mark Ealham (13) and Andre Adams (3) as Notts lost three wickets for just 54 runs to cap an encouraging evening session for the vistors.
"Chris Read looked the most comfortable of all of our batsmen and he didn't play and miss in the way that some of the others did but there's a bit going on and the ball was seaming around," said Nottinghamshire Director of Cricket Mick Newell.
"We're reasonably happy with where we find ourselves because we thought at the start of the play that 300 would be a decent score but every point is crucial and we have to try and put on more runs in the morning."
Elsewhere, Warwickshire collapsed to 148 all out to enhance Notts prospects of a second-placed finish.

CLEAR LAKE — Energy was the big topic at a District 4 legislative cracker barrel session in front of about 30 people at the Clear Lake Municipal Building Saturday afternoon.
Sen. Tim Begalka (R-Clear Lake) and Democrat Reps. Jim Peterson (Revillo) and Kathy Tyler (Big Stone City) took a variety of questions at an event sponsored by Dakota Rural Action.
Peterson and Begalka are the prime sponsors of a tax bill relating to the Big Stone power plant. In 2006, lawmakers granted the Big Stone plant a property-tax exemption on the additional environmental equipment needed to meet clean-air regulations, but the law didn't account for the construction period. HB 1153, as Peterson explained, is designed to cover that gap and moved out of committee unanimously.
Begalka used his opening remarks to address his efforts to eliminate the contractors excise tax. Calling it a 'burr in the state's saddle,' he explained how South Dakota is the only state to have it. Begalka explained the three measures to address the issue have been tabled and 'don't stand a very good chance.'
Tyler is in her first term in Pierre. A member of the House Education and Local Government committees, she described the early going of the session as a 'good learning experience.' She said that in her committees about 10 days ago, she dealt with two gun bills in two days, adding 'that livened up my life and my email.'
The gun bills Tyler referred to were the conceal and carry bill, which was killed in committee, but, Tyler explained, is being watched carefully as a candidate to be revived and sent to the full House; and the school sentinel bill, which made it out of her committee, through the House and into the Senate State Affairs Committee.
Topics brought up in the open session by district residents included:
• Net metering of renewable energy.
Dakota Rural Action is introducing a bill (House Bill 1207) to implement a "net metering" policy designed to provide that surplus kilowatt-hours of electricity sent back to the utility by a customer with private generating capacity would cancel the same number of kilowatt-hours which that customer had purchased from the utility. At present, South Dakota utilities pay the avoided cost, minimal rate for such electricity sent to them, at a fraction of the amount they charge customers for the same quantity of energy.
Dave Patterson of Toronto initially brought up the issue, asking for a change in how rates are credited for landowners who install renewable projects to the wholesale rate.
Tyler said as of now she agrees on the position espoused in the bill, saying she has been in contact with those drafting the bill.
Begalka followed by pointing out the different cost burdens of rural electrics.
"You shouldn't have to force the REA to buy electricity from you at a rate higher than they would on the market," he said.
Peterson said he agreed.
"They (REAs) bear the costs of the lines," he explained. "We can't expect if you pay six cents, they should pay you back six cents, because you don't have the infrastructure costs they have."
Peterson said he did support the wholesale rate plan.
• Wind development/transmission.
Peterson used the net metering discussion to open up a larger talk about future wind development in northeast South Dakota in general and District 4 (all of Grant and Deuel counties and the majority of the rural portions of Codington and Brookings counties) in general.
"You are going to see tremendous wind development on the Coteau/Buffalo Ridge," he posited. "We are going to see generators starting in North Dakota and running all the way down to the Ridge. The wind speeds are just so much better than other places in South Dakota."
He continued by saying that the White-to-Minneapolis transmission line planned by Iberdrola Renewables, LLC is expected to be under construction next year at this time and will 'really open up wind development in the area.'
"I think it's going to benefit Deuel County and Grant County in the long run from the taxes and payments being made to the farmers," he added.
Begalka did add his concerns about the efficency of wind power versus hydroelectric and coal.
• County and township tax revenues.
Deuel County Commissioner Gary Jaeger asked the delegation how they felt about House Bill 1189, allowing counties to tax $1 per $1,000 of valuation and townships 50 cents per $1,000 for bridge and road upkeep.
Peterson said he will have a hard time supporting the move because of the potential size of the tax increase.
"It's a potential 10 percent tax increase and that's a big deal," he said.
Tyler was more sympathetic to the move, pointing out the caps on the potential increases.
"Personally, it's something a county commission may do, they are not forced to," she pointed out.

The saga of Cabrini-Green compels us to engage some hard and fundamental questions. It is not enough to ask: who benefits from public housing redevelopment? We must also ask: how we measure such benefits and who gets to do that measuring?

 When the last of the Cabrini-Green towers was demolished by the Chicago Housing Authority a year ago, where did the residents go? Urban historian Lawrence Vale looks at the politics and policies of subsidized housing in the city and interviews the developer of the mixed-income "village" that replaced the old public housing projects (and excluded many of their residents).

 In a related feature, sociologist David Schalliol documents this transition in a slideshow featuring photographs of CHA projects and sites.

Figurative sense of "make motionless or helpless, as with amazement, terror, or grief" is first recorded 1640s. Related: Transfixed; transfixing.

Check Out This Deer's Bus Ride! [VIDEO]
I'm not sure where he was going, but he was asked to leave because he couldn't pay.
This bus driver in Johnstown, PA (which I happened to live about a half-hour from in college) got an interesting passenger on his route earlier this week. In a bizarre accident, a deer ran in front of this speeding bus, but somehow managed to jump THROUGH the dashboard, seemingly nearly unscathed! The deer is obviously confused and frantic, and flips his lid in the bus… But he makes it off safely, seemingly uninjured! What the chaos right HERE!

Guy P. Harrison. 50 Popular Beliefs That People Think Are True. Prometheus Books, 2012.
Bartholomew and Radford's book carries on from a number of other titles by Bartholomew, looking at social delusions, as well as another book on panics and hoaxes co-edited with Hilary Evans. This seems to be a rather slighter volume with over thirty topics dealt with mostly in fairly short chapters.
Although most of the panics and hoaxes covered will be fairly familiar to Magonia readers there are a number of topics which I have not seen covered in similar compilations, such as the racist Internet and media-led rumours surrounding Hurricane Katrina, and a number of scares resulting from over-realistic TV and radio dramas, including not only the Orson Welles broadcast and its violent South American sequels, but the invasion broadcast that caused a crisis in the Caucasus. The authors also do a good job of looking at the way some genuine concerns were dramatised by the media – 'Bird Flu', 'video nasties' and a number of over-the-top 'elf'n'safety' panics.
There are a couple of specific points I would take issue with. The account of the 'Mattoon Gasser' ignores some recent research which suggests that much of the panic may have been the result of the activities of one specific individual. I also feel that the chapter on the 'Satanic panic' is very much US-oriented and does not examine the rather different nature of the allegations in the UK and Europe.
There are some contributions by individual researchers who are able to examine in more detail topics in which they have a specific interest. David Clarke gives a comprehensive account of the 'Crying Boy Painting' legend and the role that the tabloid Sun played in promoting it. The chapter by Felicity Goodyear-Smith and Helen Petousis-Harris gives a useful background to a number of vaccine panics in New Zealand and elsewhere, but could perhaps have benefitted from a more international outlook.
If there is a problem with this book it is that it tries to cover too much ground and does not go into most of the stories in sufficient detail, (but there are comprehensive references, many with Internet links, for those who wish to delve further), and perhaps there is insufficient distinction between out-and-out hoaxes (or even April Fool spoofs – I would like to have read a description of the BBC Radio Merseyside hoax which led to thousands of Liverpudlians rushing to the Pier Head to see the alleged 'record low-tide' which was allowing people to walk across the Mersey to Birkenhead! * ) and media panics which may or may not have been helped along by vested interests. In all though the book is an interesting compilation of tall stories and their factual backgrounds.
Perhaps brevity as a result of trying to cover too much ground is also a problem with Guy Harrison's book. Probably the clue's in the title, and 50 beliefs is just too many to plough through in one volume.
I actually find little to disagree with in most of the arguments that are presented here. The chapters on Roswell and UFOs are generally sound, and Harrison, unlike some other sceptical writers on Roswell, is secure enough in his argument to defend the 'crash-test dummies' explanation for the Roswell 'aliens' by outlining the problems of misleading memories of events from twenty, thirty, or more years ago. He gives an interesting example of 'false memory' from his own experience.
A slightly irritating feature (apart from the cartoons) is the way that topics are introduced by chapter headings which are a series of dogmatic statements: "Most Conspiracy Theories Are True", "A TV Preacher Needs My Money", "Television News Gives Me An Accurate View of the World", even, presumably for the sake of balance, "All Scientists Are Geniuses and Science Is Always Right". Clearly Harrison has little difficulty in demolishing these straw men.
There's very little that's actually wrong with this book (apart from the chapter on global warming) but I think one chapter heading missing is "Prometheus Press Really Needs to Publish Another Fairly Superficial Round-up of Skeptical Opinions Which Is Only Going To Be Read By People Who Agree With Them Already". I think that statement would be fairly easy to refute. – John Rimmer.

In Ford Coppola's Dracula, the Count (Oldman) turned his back on God after his wife committed suicide thinking her husband died in battle. Then some 400 years later he becomes obsessed with Mina (Ryder) who bears an uncanny resemblance to his late wife.
Oh, for olden times when all that happened in a vampire/Dracula movie was some Transylvanian coach driver would go (in an ill-suited Dorset accent, usually), "Oh, no, don't go up to the castle tonight, master, there's evil afoot!" Oh, for Bela Lugosi or the lusty fangs of Christopher Lee. Oh, particularly, for the bit in the Hammer Drac-fests where Francis Matthews (worst actor ever) opens the creaky coffin lid and reels back in preposterous "terror". Coppola has made some excellent films, it cannot be denied: The Conversation, Apocalypse Now and of course the Godfathers Part II and III. Gothic horror, however, is evidently not his forte. He fails to make his Dracula laughably lovable, a la Terence Fisher (Hammer supremo) and he fails to make it in any way frightening; he simply manages to make it terribly, terribly dull an achievement in itself.
Gary Oldman's Count turns into a skinless bat and green mist and a strange old git and a festival of rats; Keanu Reeves, as the weedy Jonathan Harker, struggles with his Anglo-toff accent. There's sex: Sadie Frost has it off with a werewolf (Dracula in crafty Mr. Disguise kit); mad baby-feasting vampirellas provide Keanu with painful-looking "blow" jobs. There's death: slow-motion decapitations aplenty and men stuck on sticks. There are irksome discussions on the meaning of love within the Goth heavy metal-styled settings of foggy castles, and the special effects ranging from the gory to the patently absurd are ladled over the whole like an impossible soup. There's even Sir Anthony Hopkins as Dracula's nemesis, Van Helsing, sniffing away dementedly like Hannibal Lecter all over again.
The film is a calamity, a muddle, a mishmash, nothing but blood spouting from the mouths of the undead. Fake accents steal up upon you without warning does Gary Oldman really say, "I am the last of the Formica?" Probably not, but it makes little difference so laboured is the plot. Bram Stoker's Dracula is all style, no content (though Tom Waits as the insect-craving crackpot Renfield is rather marvellous), so if "horror" hokum is your particular cup of tea, might I direct you instead to The Abominable Dr. Phibes. You know where you are with Vincent Price.
Has a film ever promised so much yet delivered so little? There was so much potential, yet when it came down to it, Coppola made his Dracula too old to be menacing, gave Keanu Reeves a part and took out all the action. So all we're left with is an overly long bloated adaptation, instead of what might have been a gothic masterpiece.

Another work of art!!,
Planet Pit is the latest offering from MR. 305/Pitbull himself whom has been gaining momentum in the charts in the past few weeks, this album is no disappointment you will like 90% of the tracks that are found in this album, heck even the intro is awesome! If you have been following Pit since the Unleashed Mixtape days, you already know he's up to the game, or he'll catch up - he's not afraid to try new genres from rap, spanish, now electronic/dance - and Planet Pit is just that electronic/dance with a splash of that latin flavor. The only thing I wish is that an old school freestyle rap flow added as a bonus.

Digitalism in C.H.I.C.A.G.O
Dust off your leather jacket, and put your skinnys on; Digitalism is on the road. Coming off their second Studio Album, "I Love You Dude", the German Techno duo hit Chicago last week to kick off their nationwide tour. It's only a quick three week skip across the US if you happen to live in one of the lucky cities.
11/28 – Chicago, IL – Metro
11/29 – Toronto, ON – Mod Club
11/30 – Montreal, QC – SAT
12/1 – Boston, MA – Paradise
12/2 – New York, NY – Webster Hall
12/3 – Philadephia, PA – Trocadero
12/5 – Washington, DC – U Street Music Hall
12/7 – Asheville, NC – Orange Peel
12/9 – Austin, TX – Parish
12/10 – Dallas, TX – Granada Theater
12/12 – Solana Beach, CA – Belly Up
12/13 – Los Angeles, CA – The Music Box
12/14 – San Francisco, CA – Mezzanine
You can expect a whole lot of pulsing synths and droning basslines, and scantily clad ladies passing out Jägermeister swag. The stage set up was pretty sweet, with rows of programmed LED bars and Two Heart Shaped projector screens providing the visual ambiance. It was my first time seeing Digitalism live, and they definitely didnt leave me hanging, playing favorites like "I Want I Want", "Digitalism in Cairo", and of course "Homezone" – Here is a video from the show.
They also played a bunch of new songs off I Love You Dude, including the new single, 2 Hearts, as well as some other album standouts such as Miami Showdown, and Circles. Make sure you go out and support if you are one of the lucky ones that gets a chance to see them.

FRESNO, CA -- Blackbeard's, a 35-year-old family entertainment center here, said it plans to partially switch over to solar power in the fall. The facility will break ground on June 25 on a new solar-energy system that should be operational within four months.
The system will include 824 photovoltaic panels mounted horizontally on tree-like poles. While soaking up energy from the sun, the 40-sq.ft panels will also provide shade for the FEC's picnic area and parking lot. SEE STORY
The new power system is expected to generate more than 316,317 kilowatt-hours of electricity in the first year -- enough energy to power 29 homes.
A popular regional destination, Blackbeard's facility encompasses 15 acres and features an amusement arcade, mini golf, go-karts and laser tag, among other attractions. Greg Florer opened the FEC in 1977.
Renewable energy sources like solar and wind still provide just a small fraction of the world's electricity. But they're growing fast, and Blackbeard's is part of the expanding trend.

I am a man and my age is over 30 years old. I like footsal and soccer. I belong to the Red Amigo(since last spring) of a footsal team at the Saitama prefecture. I've took part in the team meeting about two times per month and enjoyed to kick a ball or drink beer with my friends. There are many young persons in the team and they have recently called me the Presbyterian despite I'm not a starting member of Red Amigo. I sometimes take a running near the river and muscle-trainning so as not to be defeated by young friends because I never want to be defeated. I started footsal for the purpose of diet and exercise. Despite I'm not young in the team, I'm so serious to do footsal now because I want to defeat a special footsal team for me.
Nowadays the photos of a bread, a sweet, and a box lunch made by my wife are mainly introduced in this site despite the footsal is indicated first. My family consists of three persons who are my wife, my son(7 years old), and myself. We like eating and have a home party so as to eat delicious foods two times per week. But we diet ourselves after the party day.
Besides my son started to do the Beigoma a few month ago and I also got to do the Beigoma thanks to my son. My son and I frequently have the Beigoma battle in the recent holiday. I'm also serious to do the Beigoma because I never want to be defeated by my son. By the way, not only the Beigoma battle but also the battle of taking foods we frequently perform(I'm ashamed of the battles).
Let me introduce the coffeehouse SORA to you. This coffeehouse is well-known to me and is a little smart. You can taste both cake and Japanese sweet in the coffeehouse. You can drink a wonderful coffee provided by a graceful women too. I recommend you to go inside the coffeehouse SORA if you would be near there.
Location is just in front of SUWA shrine near SAIEN temple which exists along the old road of Inawashiro SKI, Japan.

Genetic markers provide primate link in human evolution
12 March 2014
Genetic markers provide unprecedented primate link in human evolution
Genetics provide stunning new answers to the question of human evolution, according to Auckland cancer researcher, Dr Graeme Finlay.
Genetic markers that are used to follow the development of populations of cells have exactly the same character as those that track the development of species, says Dr Finlay who has just published a book on genetics and human evolution.
His book, 'Human Evolution: Genes, Genealogies and Phylogenies', was published by Cambridge University Press late last year.
Dr Finlay is senior lecturer in Scientific Pathology at the Department of Molecular Medicine and Pathology, and an Honorary Senior Research Fellow at the Auckland Cancer Society Research Centre, in the University of Auckland.
"Controversy over human evolution remains widespread, but the human genome project and genetic sequencing of many other species has provided myriad precise and unambiguous genetic markers that establish our evolutionary relationships with other mammals," says Dr Finlay.
This book identifies and explains these identifiable, rare and complex markers including endogenous retroviruses, genome-modifying transposable elements, gene-disabling mutations, segmental duplications and gene-enabling mutations.
These new genetic tools also provide fascinating insights into when and how many features of human biology arose: from aspects of placental structure, vitamin C dependence and trichromatic vision, to tendencies to gout, cardiovascular disease and cancer.
The book brings together a decade's worth of research and ties it together to provide an overwhelming argument for the mammalian ancestry of the human species.
Dr Finlay says he hopes the book will be of interest to professional scientists, undergraduate and college students in both the biological and biomedical sciences, and to anyone including theologians concerned with the scientific evidences for evolution.
He says when he entered University he was fascinated by cells and DNA, but had no interest in evolution.
"I was aware of conflict over evolution from people who were very suspicious of science and I found a lot of their arguments were very disturbing because they were simply not true," he says.
"In my early days as a cancer researcher, the early 1980s, a whole new understanding of cancer arose, from people working with viruses called retroviruses. These are viruses that are very cunning parasites."
"I read avidly about retroviruses because they were telling us so much about the genes that cause cancer. That was in the days when the AIDS virus was discovered and also a leukaemia virus was discovered, and they are both retroviruses too. They were fascinating times," says Dr Finlay.
"As part of that reading, I stumbled on the fact that we all inherit pieces of retroviral DNA in our genomes," he says. "They are part of our genomic structure. In fact eight per cent of our genome is contributed by retroviruses, whose strategy is to insert their DNA into our DNA," he says.
"To discover that we share particular retroviral sequences with chimps, gorillas, orang-utans, gibbons and other primates, was to me extraordinary, because it was an overwhelming demonstration of common ancestry."
"I've spent a bit of time writing and trying to spread these ideas in church circles. I decided we need a book so people can really appreciate the compelling nature of the evidence," says Dr Finlay.
Finlay is himself a Christian and believes that there are excellent theological reasons why the evolution of the created order should be acceptable to all Christians.
"This book was the result and was extended into other areas, like jumping genes that make up another 40 per cent of our DNA and have just been accumulating there over our evolutionary history."
"Jumping genes are like tiny little parasites that insert themselves into our DNA and every now and again they copy and paste. Some cut and paste. Again we share millions of those with chimps and other primates," he says. "And this is even more interesting because we share some with rats and mice, bats and whales. It enables us to develop very extensive evolutionary family trees."
He says it is the same logic in cancer research, because jumping genes are increasingly implicated in cancer. They also establish how you can map out the development of cancers.
"You can work out the evolution of cancers, by looking at how cancer cells express genetic markers. They indicate, for example that most cancers are monoclonal. The cells might share a single mutation, so you know they came from a single cell in which that mutation occurred."
book 'Human Evolution: Genes, Genealogies and
Phylogenies' by Dr Graeme Finlay is available from the
Cambridge University Press.

Gail: Happy New Year, David! How do you think we're doing so far? I guess if you're going to plunge over a cliff, it's better to hop back up again before the end of the long holiday weekend.
David: I would say so far the start of 2013 has given new meaning to the word inauspicious. If I'd been in the House I would have been sorely tempted to vote against the fiscal cliff bill. The measure was supposed to improve our fiscal situation. It was supposed to be balanced between tax hikes and spending cuts, like the president promised. It has some tax hikes but effectively no spending cuts. In other words the law fails to fulfill both of its primary objectives. When a law fails to achieve its objectives, aren't you supposed to vote against it?
Gail: Well, not if you're on a cliff. I was disappointed that the White House rolled over on the $250,000 bar for tax cuts. Give me a break. It should have been $75,000 from the beginning. But we're all supposed to make compromises, right?
The Fiscal Riff: Brooks and Collins on some other cliffs we might fall off and the overlooked virtues of constitutional monarchy.

does one always need a reason?
I sit here reading my comics, learning about ethics, monism, and neoplatonism.. I think to myself, why? What makes the reason of one more reasonable and exotic than the other, and why do we even ask that question?
Art, novels, and most laughed at "liberal art" subjects in the world, do nothing but contribute to the mind and imagination, and sometimes consequentially narcissism.
We have some intelligent people on this forum, so I ask the question: does one always need a reason? Can one create for the sake of creating without being chastised? Also think of the reasons why people ask this question, are they curious or just daft wobbo's? :hi:
Pure creativity with no functional purpose will always be questioned and frowned upon by most people, likely out of our culture's massive insecurity and generally low self esteem. If you don't understand it, then it could be threatening, either on a social, psychological, or practical level, couple that with a high likelihood of insecurity and you end up with a culture that has a bias against the new and different.
This article addresses how social networking has affected common interacts and experiences through "FOMO".
It's funny because so much modern abstract art is actually more about reason and expression of underlying emotion or sentiment but to me something like a Pollock is so much more about spontaneous creativity for its own sake than say the Mona Lisa. I don't for one believe that we have to have a reason to create, but ultimately even just the fulfillment of the desire to do so is in itself a reason. Everything we do has some reason even if unconscious. Purpose is not a static concept that can be completely ruled out of any stage of organic life even if just because we are aging for the purpose of... Evolution. Everything we do, even dreaming, has reason though subconcious. I think that even when we try to assert the malleable concept of id in interpreting our personal system of rationalization and reason we admit that we have rationale for everything we do even when unknowing it. Of course, conscious reason is far more assertive than subconcious, but the whole nature of reason is so intrinsically engrained into the physiological self, I do not think you can ever say reason is completely abandoned, even in sacrificing your life for some purpose. Hell, through decomposition and withdrawal from one food chain and arrival in another even in death we serve a reason like it or not. Now do I always feel compelled to deliver some explicit message through creation of art or writing, no, but in that sense even leaving it open to interpretation has a deliberate and calculated methodology. As long as we have life and even in death we serve a purpose and have reason.
Mine is to penetrate as many women as humanly possible and stay high, lol. With reproduction out of the way my true essential reason has already been realized.
I think smoking pot is the reason you launched this discussion. ;)
Reason and purpose are human-made subjects. There is no reason why matter, universe, or us exist. We're just here. One of the fundamental laws of physics that asymmetric void creates symmetric matter. Then you can relate the science of what I mentioned above to what Nietzsche said about mind vs body. Why we tend to find ourselves asking why questions.
In short, no.
WTF are you nerds talking about?
Tell us more.
^^ agree
We have reason behind everything as humans are naturally greedy, little or a lot. We will benefit from our creations in some way.
Reason, validation... it leaves an empty, useless, lucky person... lucky because all that person has is a life without self purpose.
You said constipation and you're B_Cyrus, so I'm just going to sit out of this one.
Yes, always. I only do things for the money.

Q: I have two ferrets. They were to be two females but one is a small female the other is a big white male. It is extra hard to change the litter box. We have to tie it in or the male turns it over and they play in it. Or sleep. What litter do you recommend?
A: Try thinking outside the (litter) box! Cats want to dig/hide their scat. A ferret wants to get their business over with and move on to more interesting things. So litter boxes aren't natural for ferrets and have some disadvantages. Many pet stores cover display floors with shavings, so kits (baby ferrets) may not learn good litter habits. Tying the box in may help, but it does not allow easy changing and sanitizing. It can also be difficult if the cage door is not large enough to take the box in and out easily. If your ferret trains to a box and it works for you, great! But if not, there's an option.
In our shelter, ferrets live in a room with vinyl flooring. We use newspapers in each corner – two opened sheets folded up against the wall, two overlapping the other direction – and we change them daily. Cover hardwood floors first with clear, sticky shelf-lining, or use a boot tray beneath to protect carpeting. You can use paper in the cage, also. It is easy, cheap and ferrets train to it in a snap. Some folks use puppy piddle pads, which have plastic bottoms to avoid soak-through.
Ferrets prefer to back into a corner and/or hide under something when they eliminate – as a small animal, that's a vulnerable moment. If they are eliminating someplace inappropriate, block it off or place bedding there to discourage use. Be aware that ferrets nearly always go in front of a closed door. I think it's a form of protest!
So try some flat paper, folded up a couple inches, on the cage bottom. It might work great for you and your fuzzies.

Project DescriptionBuilder's Choice and Custom Home Awards Finalist
The owners asked for an efficient, off-the-grid, house that would be one with their site. It is a "diamond in the rough," a precisely detailed modern structure on a rustic, agricultural farm.
The 850 square-foot structure is anchored to the steep hillside with a series of retaining walls and cascading exterior decks, each linked to an interior space. This act of at once embracing the hillside and relating inside and outside at every level is an ambitious concept for such a small house, and is also minimally intrusive to the natural topography. The circulation is directed to the views while the fenestration protects from the hot southern sun in favor of soft northern light.
The exterior is predominantly light-grey zinc expressed in horizontal panels with articulated reveals. Stained grey redwood is used for the sun screens, providing a unified and textured facade.

|Learning About Computers and the Internet
System restore is an important tool for guarding against system file corruption or loss. Here are some facts about it.
What System Restore does
The System Restore function in Windows XP is one defense line against file corruption or loss but it is far from a complete backup. Many PC users are confused about what System Restore actually does. When you create a restore point, what is actually being saved?
System Restore monitors certain parts of Windows XP known as the "system state". The system state includes the Registry, COM+ Class Registration database, boot files, and certain file types. The file types that are monitored are listed at this Microsoft page and include EXE and DLL files. If you can read XML, you can also see the list on your computer at %windir%\system32\restore\Filelist.xml. Note, however, that these file types are not necessarily protected if they are placed directly on the desktop.
Periodically (usually once a day) System Restore takes a snapshot of the system state and stores the various files in a condensed form. At some later time, the system can then be rolled back to a previous system state. By no means, however, does that include all your files.
What System Restore does not do
Contrary to what many think, System Restore does not back up the computer. It does not monitor changes to personal data files such as documents, pictures, email, and so on. For example, one folder that is not monitored by System Restore is My Documents. So if you use My Documents for your personal files, you will need another way to keep them backed up. Also not backed up are your Internet cookies and favorites and many other types of files created by the user. System Restore monitors only a core set of specified system and application file types.
Configuring the space allotted to restore points
By default, System Restore will set aside 12% of each of your drives for saving restore points. Although you may have a big hard drive and no need of the space, a lot of extra restore points can slow down processes such as virus checking, disk defragmenting, and other procedures. I discuss the details of the procedure for changing the amount of space that is reserved on another page. Also discussed there is how to turn off System Restore for drives or partitions that do not need to be monitored. If you use a separate drive for a dual-boot system or if you have partitions for data, turn off System Restore for these volumes. There is no benefit from monitoring non-system or non-XP files.
Make System Restore easily available
I try out a lot of system tweaks and new software and that means that I
am frequently creating new System Restore points. Opening System Restore
from the All
Programs menu or from Control Panel is a bit tedious. So I
prefer a shortcut. (I discuss the details of how to make shortcuts to
programs on another
page.) To make a shortcut to System Restore use the command:
Another quick way to make a restore point is with a script. I have wriiten one that can be downloaded here.
Srdiag.exe- a little known tool
The restore point files are saved in a hidden system directory in a proprietary
binary format. They should be left alone. Advanced users who need to troubleshoot
System Restore can use the tool srdiag.exe to obtain information
about the restore points in text form, Either navigate to \Windows\system32\Restore and
run the program srdiag.exe from there or open Start-Run and enter
System Restore and System Protection in Windows 7
System restore is much expanded and improved in Windows 7, where it is part of a larger backup feature called "System Protection". The Windows 7 feature is discussed on this page.

Other things like quality time with my sisters-in-law; sitting on the beach telling them things I'd usually only put in my journal. It gave me time with Scott to surf new waves, because when we wake up in our neighborhood we get pretty hooked on surfing the same ones. It gave me time with my DeMint family not just to tan our skin and swim the days away, but to navigate challenges like the torrential downpour, 40º air and gale force winds that greeted us at the top of Haleakala.
To be totally honest, our time in Hawaii put me out of my comfort zone a bit. I'm an unwavering introvert, as you may know, and the thought of traveling with nearly 20 people made me want to pack a cloak of invisibility just in case I needed time in my own world. It turns out, I was mostly fine (I only cried once) and this is where the new perspective came in. This trip wasn't meant to be about me, unless only for me to see that I needed to forgo control and put others first. Did I succeed? I'm not sure. There were at least two times when Scott and I went surfing instead of hopping in one of the vans with the whole clan. I'm glad I had those waves, we both are, but this is where hesitation creeps into my conclusion.
This vacation may not have been filled exclusively with selfless moments brought to you by yours truly, but it was a step in the right direction. I'm working on myself all the time and this trip gave me a compass to where I'd like to head next. Introversion can't be an excuse to be selfish.

Article lengthEdit
Is it just me, or is this article . . . disproportionately large to Hatcher's importance to Star Trek? It's bigger than the pages for some Star Trek regulars. I realize that this is due to Hatcher's relatively more successful career than some Star Trek regulars. But I'm just not sure MA is the place to play an extensive game of Seven Degrees of Separation. I don't think any reasonable person would call her a "Star Trek" actor, per se. Wouldn't the article be better if it focussed on those appearances with other actors she actually encountered during her lone guest shot on Star Trek? Also, there are some fairly misleading "blue links" in the article, which initially suggest to the reader that, for instance, Pierce Brosnan and Dean Cain were Star Trek actors. Anyone object to a pruning here? CzechOut ☎ | ✍ 02:48, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
- Pruning? Yes. Objections arise. Removing the "blue" links to non-trek-people? No objections from this one... -- Sulfur 05:41, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
No credit....because Edit
I've read in an article about Hatcher in a German tv guide that her part was decreased and that this is the reason why she refused to have a credit in the end credits of the episode. – Tom 12:03, June 8, 2010 (UTC)
- Add it in, cite the magazine issue. :) --From Andoria with Love 18:35, June 8, 2010 (UTC)
- And thats the problem. I only have the article and know that it was a 2006 issue of "TV Movie", which is released every two weeks. ;) – Tom 19:03, June 8, 2010 (UTC)
- Ahh. Well... cite it anyway. :) If you can upload a scan of the article and link to it, that would probably be a good idea, too. --From Andoria with Love 23:48, June 8, 2010 (UTC)

In a measure of how far Mitchell Pearce has come as a leader, the NSW halfback is a strong chance to replace Anthony Minichiello as the next Roosters captain.
Like the Blues, the Roosters have invested plenty of faith in Pearce, signing him to a new four-year deal at the start of the season. At just 24, he is considered a senior figure at state level, and will equal Peter Sterling's record of nine consecutive Origin appearances for NSW on Wednesday night.
The Roosters also view Pearce as a leader, with coach Trent Robinson appointing him as one of four vice-captains alongside Boyd Cordner, Jared Waerea-Hargreaves and Jake Friend. Minichiello is tipped to finish up at Bondi Junction at the end of the year, and Robinson confirmed Pearce is a strong chance of being their next skipper.
''He's definitely in contention there,'' Robinson said. ''Pearcey's a part of that, he's developed as a person and player for us. That's why I chose the four vice-captains, I thought they were working hard to take over from 'Mini' at some stage.''
Pearce, now in his seventh year in first grade, has long been viewed as captaincy material. Ricky Stuart called for him to be the skipper of the Blues when he was just 20 years old and, while the move didn't materialise, the No.7 could be an option when Paul Gallen eventually finishes up. But first he must turn potential into performance by finally dominating Origin and ending Queensland's seven-year streak.
While much has been said of Pearce's new-found maturity - ''Enough has been written about how much he's evolved'', Robinson said - the ultimate test will come on Wednesday night.
''He's proved he's got clearer as a player and person, and he's going into a period where he's had a great 11 games for us,'' Robinson said. ''He's ready to go in the Origin series. He's worked hard on himself and on his game. He's ready and Jimmy [halves partner James Maloney] has helped with that this year as well.''
The fact Queensland's influential trio of Cameron Smith, Billy Slater and Cooper Cronk play together on a weekly basis at the Storm is considered a huge advantage. Another gamebreaker, Greg Inglis, has also played plenty of football in Melbourne, ensuring there is familiarity in the team's spine and three-quarter line. Robinson believes NSW's selection of Roosters Pearce, Maloney and centre Michael Jennings could be in their favour.
''I definitely think Pearcey and Jimmy have a good understanding of each other,'' Robinson said. ''Queensland's ability to play so many times together and the amount of combos that Smith and Slater and Cronk have in that team is important. And then you have Inglis playing there as well.
''The [Roosters trio] have prepared well, they've earned their spot and they should be confident about their combinations.''
