Right from getting a quote from Matt he was the only choice. The detail he gave when pricing up the job was first rate. He answered all questions I had and offered great advice throughout the quote and the job itself. Weather hampered the job but he still turned up and patiently waited in the van until the rain cleared. Great communication when he was unable to turn up due to persistant rain and gales blowing. I advise all users to use Matt. The cheapest quote and excellent workmanship. Thanks Matt .
Punctual, Professional and good value, will use HEating again and recommend rated people for finding quality tradespeople.

Malware Hides Behind 'Angry Birds Space'12/04/12 at 04:04:30 pm
All the time we should be very cautious. Everything that comes from an unknown source should be treated dangerous no matter how inviting it may seem. Malwares and viruses are usually hidden from too-good-to-be-true offers but in the end, it will just lead you to opening your portals for harmful links.
Just recently, an organization lead by SophosLabs analyst Graham Cluley, discover a malware that has been hidden behind a new version of the famous Roovio mobile's "Angry Birds" called "Angry Birds Space".
The game has become the game of the tech world ever since it was introduced and some people might not be able to distinguish which one is a legit version.
Basically the game is not an official Google Play (formerly Android Market) game. It came from a third party source that Cluley refused to name.
"The Trojan horse, which Sophos detects as Andr/KongFu-L, appears to be a fully-functional version of the popular smartphone game, but uses the GingerBreak exploit to gain root access to the device, and install malicious code." – This is what you get the time you would download the game from the unknown source.
Eventually the Trojan is connected to a remote website that would further install malwares into the infected Android smartphone.

Android Experience Now A Wrist Away12/04/12 at 05:04:35 am
There are times that even the simple gesture of getting your phone out of your pocket is so time consuming. However, we need to do so because we might miss some important messages or calls. If only everything can be checked just like checking time through our wristwatches.
The mentioned desire has been the inspiration of Sony to make something as convenient as your wristwatch yet as useful as your smartphone thus the birth of SmartWatch. It is a wearable timepiece that allows owners to read their text messages, emails, and social media updates — all from their wrist.
It is connected to your Android phone through bluetooth and whatever update your smartphone gets will be sent to your SmartWatch. It comes in a black rubber strap but there are also other colors like pink, white, mint, gray, and blue for color conscious clients.
The device is made of OLED touch sensitive 1.3 inches screen and whenever someone calling your smartphone it'll vibrate and diplays notification on the screen.
"With just a tap, touch and swipe, SmartWatch turns from a watch displaying the time to a remote information center for your Android smartphone," Sony said in a statement.

Twittezens Saved The Life Of A Carjacked Man11/04/12 at 04:04:49 pm
At this era, most of us are all eyes on our smartphones or perhaps on our laptops to check our social networking sites. Our day can't be complete without checking it out.
There are even some users that are sharing almost everything that they're doing, from the food they're eating, places they're visiting and whole a lot more. Being able to have this comfort at this time, there is no doubt that with proper usage, these social networking can be the best tool to solve crimes.
Just like what happened to a man on Johannesburg last Saturday. While on the road, he was stopped by two armed men and forced him to get inside his trunk. He was fortunately carrying his cellphone and texted his girlfriend about what happened. Instead of asking help to the police, she tweeted the incident: "Be on the look for DSS041GP. my boyfriend has just been hijacked and is in the boot please RT [retweet]." One of her friends forwarded the tweet to to @PigSpotter, a Johannesburg-based Twitter user known for posting messages about speed traps and roadblocks set up by local police.
From then on, the tweet reached the authorities and 2 hours later, the car has been found and drove to a roadblock. The carjackers escaped on foot but the man on the trunk was rescued safely.
There are however downsides on this great technology. It can also be a means of spreading scams and harmful information. Everyone should be responsible on everything that they're sharing.

The Calloway girls made a goal to drink and dance tonight, which I translated as: We're getting drunk.
Connor, Ryke, and I promised them that they could go crazy and we'd be the responsible ones, fit to take care of them. For once, I'm on the other side of things. And it feels pretty good.
I like knowing that I have the power to keep Lily safe. Before, all of that seeped away with each whiskey I downed. So yeah, this is new. But it's a good new.
The crowds aren't as large as the concert yesterday, and Connor bought a balcony table so we can keep an eye on the girls. We're seated on the highest level, and the psychedelic lights strobe around us—well, around Connor and me. Ryke is still in the bathroom.
I have a clear view of the three Calloway girls, all of them hovering around the square bar. Rose carries two glasses of some pink concoction, handing one to Daisy.
"Have you ever seen Rose drunk?" I ask Connor. The event has to be like a lunar eclipse or something.
"I don't think she'd allow herself to exceed her limits."
I nod in agreement. I've never even seen her beyond tipsy. "She's probably too afraid she'll get wasted and lose her virginity to a guy with an IQ less than hers."
Connor breaks his usual placid expression, his mouth opening in slight surprise.
Oh shit. "What did I say?"
He takes a small sip of his wine and his face resumes its normal composed regime. "I didn't know she was a virgin."
Shit. Fuck. Shit. Lily is going to kill me. Hell, Rose is going to have my balls first. I should have known better than to open my goddamn mouth.
"I'm sorry," I say slowly. "I thought you knew." I scratch the back of my neck.
He stares at his glass and shakes his head. I can't even begin to guess what he's thinking. So I have to ask. "Is this a bad thing?" My heart crushes instantly at the thought. As much as Rose and I bicker and fight, I'd never want to ruin her relationship. Especially not with Connor, a guy who is pretty damn perfect for the girl.
He doesn't say anything, and all my guilt suddenly morphs into anger.
"Hey, she's a virgin, not a f**king leper." I point a finger at him. "And if you dump her because of this then you're a f**king prick. There are a million guys who would gladly be with Rose. For whatever reason, you met her incredibly high standards, and if you hurt her because she's not experienced, I swear to God, Connor, you are going to wish you never met me." I finish my rant, surprising myself as much as Connor.
I've learned a lot about myself being sober.
I guess I'm kind of protective of Lily, Daisy, and even Rose.
"Lo," he says my name like I'm five years old and just threw a tantrum. "I don't care that she's a virgin. I care that we've been dating for six months and she hasn't told me. Obviously, I've overestimated the progress in our relationship." His eyes flicker down to Rose as she sways to the music beside Lily, and then he looks back to me. "And while I appreciate the sentiments behind that threat, it's really unnecessary. I have no intention of hurting Rose."
He pacifies me with a few sentences as if his words are liquid morph**e, but I still feel obligated to defend Rose since I divulged her secret. "She likes you," I say quickly. "She's just..." She's Rose. I don't know how else to explain it.
"I know."
Of course he does. He knows everything.
"When she was twenty, I had a suspicion that she lost her virginity to someone on her Academic Bowl team," he opens up, sharing information that he usually keeps to himself. "She used to slide out of hugs, but she let him rest an arm around her shoulder. I even saw him kiss her in a hallway. She didn't recoil." He shakes his head, staring at Rose from faraway. "Turns out she was playing me."
"What do you mean?"
"She knew I was watching. She knew that I could tell how inexperienced she was, so she stomached whatever revulsion she had towards male contact—just so I would form the idea that she was no longer a virgin." He sips his wine. "I shouldn't be surprised. She was never ashamed of it as a teenager, but whenever her virginity was brought up in front of me, she'd get defensive. I think she assumed I'd use it against her."
He sounds more genuine than usual. I wonder if this is the real Connor Cobalt, a guy not saving face for investors or future contacts. Just him. "You knew Rose when she was a teenager?" I ask.
Connor sets down his empty wine glass. "Since she was fourteen. We'd both attend the circuit of academic conferences with our schools, Model UN, Beta Club, National Honor's Society." I feel like I hardly know him. We've been friends for months now. How could I not know this? "I'm a year older than her, by the way."
"Wait, what?" I frown. "I thought you're twenty-two."
"Were you held back as a kid or something?"
"Fifth year senior," he says. "I triple majored, so I had to stay an extra year at Penn to finish my courses." He keeps his gaze on Rose.
"Why haven't you told me this before?"
"You never asked. And really, is it that important?" I'm beginning to think that Connor Cobalt only lets people into his life halfway. Maybe he's more like us than I believed.
We drop the subject as Ryke returns from the bathroom. Melissa rejoins the girls on the dance floor, which she wasn't willing to do when we first arrived. She was clinging to Ryke pretty fiercely, so I assume Ryke went down on her in the toilet stall. She seems appeased at least.
I want to change the topic off of Rose's sex life, so I say the first thing that comes to mind. "What kind of a name is Ryke?"
He sinks into the seat beside mine, a can of Fizz Life in his hand that I'm pretty positive doesn't have any alcohol in it.
"It's a middle name," he says like I don't know. But last year at the Christmas Charity Gala, when he admitted to being my brother, I made him show me his driver's license. Jonathan Ryke Meadows.
"What kind of a middle name is Ryke?" I clarify.
He lets out an aggravated noise. "What the f**k did Jonathan give you as a middle name?"
"I don't have one. I think he realized sticking me with Loren was torture enough." My name was the target for teasing in elementary school, despite the guy-version spelling.
"Ryke," Connor muses. "From Middle English, a variant of the word would mean power or empire. Though, your spelling is a little off."
"Yeah, my father is an egotistical douchebag," he says roughly. "My name literally means Jonathan empire."
I can't help but laugh into my next sip of water. For the first time, mine doesn't seem so bad.
"I don't know why you're f**king laughing. You have a girl's name and no middle name."
I flip him off.
"Speaking of names," Connor says casually, and yet, I sense his mischief as his eyes set on Ryke. "You realize if you ever married one of the Calloways, she'd have a p*rn star name."
"And which Calloway would that be?" I snap. "Poppy is married, I'm dating Lily, you're dating Rose, and Daisy is sixteen."
I don't like hypothetically, but maybe this will deter Ryke from even thinking about a possible future. So I play into it. "Daisy Meadows," I say, inwardly cringing at the idea. "Sounds like someone who knows her way around a—"
"Don't even finish that sentence." Ryke glares.
"I was going to say camera. Why? What were you thinking?" My voice remains edged and cold.
The lights flicker as the show begins to start and we both sit back, trying to calm down. We know how to push each other's buttons, and I wonder if that's a brother-thing or just because we're both products of Jonathan Hale.
The room darkens except for the stage and the servers—the latter of which walk around with flashlights to take drink orders. An Elvis impersonator struts on stage and starts singing with dancers gyrating beside him. The oldies song is remixed so it beats with the hypnotic atmosphere.
I sit a little straighter, watching Lily who dances in a small space with her sisters and Melissa. The lights flash brightly, illuminating the dance floor in a wave of colors.
It doesn't take long for some guy to approach Lily from behind. I stiffen but stay in my seat, trusting her as I should. His hands slide along her hips, and all these memories of seeing her dance with strange guys flood me cold. I would settle at the bar, keeping a trained eye on Lil so she wouldn't get hurt, watching as she led some half-witted man to the bathroom. And I'd drown my misery in Maker's Mark.
As soon as his hands plant on her, his fingers slipping underneath the hem of her blouse and another falling to her skirt, she flinches and darts right into Daisy's chest. I can't help but smile. Some months ago, she would have played into his advances. Finally, she's chosen me.
But my happiness is popped when the guy approaches her, not taking the clear hint. His half-lidded, droopy gaze drives worry into my gut. He is drunk and definitely prepared to dance right on Lily's ass again.
I'm about to rise and descend to the dance floor, but Daisy shoves his arm hard and points a finger in his face—a Rose move that I wouldn't think possible from the youngest Calloway.
I glance at Ryke, and he rubs his lips, curiosity swimming in his eyes. She intrigues him as much as her actions concern him. The mix is not good, and I don't need to remind him of that. He's heard me shout it in brutal warning.
Lily slinks behind Daisy's body and then spins around, looking up and meeting my gaze. She gives me a small wave and then turns back to her sister. Daisy physically moves him out of their area. He has his hands up in peace, but he's staring at her br**sts that are pushed up in a short strapless dress. He licks his bottom lip.
"This is killing me," Ryke says under his breath.
"You can't play hero to her," I remind him. "If she was in trouble, I'd go down there. You can't."
He runs his hands through his hair and sits forward with his hands on his legs, watching carefully.
Daisy thrusts the guy back again, and then she gestures to a group of girls in bandage dresses about ten feet away. She breaks from Rose and Lily's side to bring him over to the girls who bounce up and down. He's too obliterated to protest, and it's not long before he's mesmerized by four more sets of tits.
He forgets about Daisy, and she leaves him to return to her sisters easily.
Lily hugs Daisy in thanks and whispers something in her ear. Both girls smile wide before they laugh.
"Do you trust her?" Connor asks me. I'm sure I look ready to spring down there and glare at any guy who so much as hits on Lily. But I don't want to be that guy, the one who is so insanely overprotective that he suffocates a woman. There's a happy medium somewhere. And it does come with trusting her.

Biography of RAPHAEL KARIBO
Am jes a young man who hails from the family of five, am a native of Abua...Amalem to be precise all in rivers state of nigeria.i love reading novels listening to inspiring music.
RAPHAEL KARIBO Poems
My Pet Name(Cupcake)
A name sweeter than sugar itself, i relish hearing it.... Even in fury state, when called i briskly jump in felicity....
Alone In The Dark
Standing beneath the dusky clouds alone, like that ageless building stucked there beside me Drenched in tears like the clouds spitting on that statue placed outside
If By Chance We Meet
Aye you've been averting it from happening, but please if it does happen just take it as a pleasing view.....probably like one, two hours, but not till the falling of the night dew......
A Parting Hug
Beneath an apple hue! A pathing hug, She huddled
First Day
Sit dreary, thoughts weak, unwilling to leave, the first day the inner person speaks in silent to go, but the mulded wants to stay
Christmas is forsooth ploding....lolly is been saved....intense happiness waits.
I Want Us To Live In My Dream
After the drab day, i found my radiant eyes swooning in fatigue, straight to that bed i ploded.myself i found in wold the dream-land.....busy flapping bees, lotty buildings engulfed with radiant lights i guess is england....
I shall plod on that endless sea, to the intense to pluck you a beautiful flower to wish you happy birthday.... Zilch shall touch thee, till your head grow grey.... Close your eyes, make a wish....
I'M The Cloud
I am the cloud, that wacky and enormous cloud.my radiant eyes shines round thee, i watch the busy bees flapping. My daughter, the thunder, she roars like that gold coloured hairy hungry lion, oh that brisk, swift lightning showing her fury state.
Remember Me
When that stale, malign wind shall push fussy news into your ears, don't debar to allow it flux.......i'm convinced and very sure that you will flummox....... But plesae remember me!
My Very End
sailing on a rocky and slippery path, yes that dusk lane.beneath the gloomy clouds trecking in the heavens. I shall notice my very end, that arena, that yard embellished wih hard work, restless nights, joy, endless happiness.
After been drenched, after those forlorn days, after those days of lotty and colourless flummoxing and flux, summer is come, now our pullovers are now our enemies!
I Am Just Ill, I Will Not Die
After the stroll from that dusky lawn....i noticed that i just experienced dawn.... I found my nicely built frame drab....wasn't worried cause i knew it is ephemeral....
I Can'T Help But Wait(Nengi)
I can't help but wait...yes like that beautiful kingfisher intending to feed on that fish beneath the sea, i'll hold myself in faith.... Am likely to meet malign thoughts, pseudo friends but still tacturn into there ears, i'm jes but a swain.....zilch shall make me pensive, cause i know am not waiting in vain....

I am the cloud, that wacky and enormous cloud.my radiant eyes shines round thee, i watch the busy bees flapping.
My daughter, the thunder, she roars like that gold coloured hairy hungry lion, oh that brisk, swift lightning showing her fury state.
Those radiant chilly tears of my sibling descends to thy hard works to help them spry,
At time i feign to cry out, and i notice those bees beneath me flapping in fury.
I'm that cloud up there, yes that very up...

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) Jane Hoeppner wanted her husband to have one last game day.
So players dressed in their white jerseys and red sweat pants, met at Assembly Hall and even got a pep talk from the coach's wife. But when Terry Hoeppner couldn't lead them across the parking lot to the football stadium, his spirit did.
Hoeppner's players and coaches, friends and colleagues gathered Saturday in Bloomington to say an emotional farewell to the coach who spent two seasons reinvigorating Indiana football.
"I want you all to know how genuine and how sincere his love and commitment to this place was. It was just magical," the coach's wife said before addressing the players. "This is the start of something great and don't let anything get in the way of it. You are going to be a team, and we are going to go to a bowl game and coach Hoeppner will be there with us."
A crowd of several thousand showed up for Saturday's public memorial service, four days after Hoeppner, 59, died from complications of a brain tumor. The family had a private funeral.
For most of the 90-minute service, the crowd sat silently, listening to nearly a dozen speakers, some of whom fought back tears and most of whom struggled to get through their prepared text.
When the service broke up inside, most of the crowd reconvened outside Assembly Hall for one final tribute, "The Walk," a tradition Hoeppner introduced to Bloomington two years ago.
It was billed as a celebration of life, but those closest to the Indiana coach struggled to put their feelings into words.
"I just don't know what to do without him," star receiver James Hardy said. "He's been a father figure for me. He told me he had my back and he did at a difficult time in my life. It's the responsibility of the players on this team to make sure his legacy continues forever."
The service included speeches from university and athletic department officials, Hardy and co-defensive coordinator Joe Palcic who played for Hoeppner at Miami (Ohio). It also included two video tributes, one a collection of family photos, the other a football video that captured some of his favorite phrases such as "We have no problems, just opportunities" or "Play 13," a reference to reaching a bowl game.
Some fans sat in the crowd with crimson shirts that read, "Coach Hep Got Me," a play on Hoeppner's advertising phrase: Coach Hep Wants You.
Among those in attendance were singer John Mellencamp, outgoing Indiana president Adam Herbert, former women's basketball coach Sharon Versyp, former trustees president Fred Eichhorn and Miami (Ohio) athletic director Brad Bates, who hired Hoeppner as the RedHawks head coach in 1999.
Bates read a letter he wrote to two other ex-Miami coaches who have died in the past year, Northwestern's Randy Walker and Michigan's Bo Schembechler.
"Dear Bo and Randy, we miss you, but we know a good friend has arrived," he said. "We know you'll be arguing about the merits of a college football playoff or debating your offensive philosophies."
He ended with this: "Terry's immortality is down here because he influenced thousands. Take good care of him, as you always have."
But the most poignant words came from Hoeppner's own family.
Jane Hoeppner talked about how she savored the time she had with her husband during his 18-month battle, which included two brain surgeries and three medical leaves from the team.
Drew Hoeppner, their son, described memories from his childhood and explained how he, like many children, thought his father was invincible. One of the Hoeppners daughters, Amy Fox, explained the lessons her children learned from their grandfather while the other, Allison Balcam, choked away tears when describing her parents' close relationship.
Jane Hoeppner often attended her husband's news conferences and stood with him on the sideline.
"I know he's in a better place now, but it's tough to believe," Balcam said. "I know that because for him to go anywhere without her, it must be a tremendously awesome place."
Indiana athletic director Rick Greenspan, who hired Hoeppner, in December 2004 drew laughter as he recounted the first job interview he had with Hoeppner, at a small hotel in Franklin, Ind., a town just south of Indianapolis, and Hoeppner's exuberance at seemingly mundane experiences.
"He'd come back from a Big Ten meeting and say 'You know what I did today? I spent the whole day with Joe Paterno. How cool is that?' " Greenspan said. "A couple of weeks later, he'd come in and say, 'You know where I'm going? To a party at John Mellencamp's house. You know R-O-C-K in the USA. His most endearing characteristic was his boyhood spirit."
That's what the Hoosiers will miss most.
Hoeppner went 9-14 in two seasons at Indiana, but his energy, enthusiasm and passionate belief that the Hoosiers could win was what won over fans, players and coaches.
Each speaker urged players to keep Hoeppner's legacy alive with a message he would always discuss on game day.
"Hoeppner still wants you," said former Indiana star Anthony Thompson, now a church pastor. "I say to his players, Hep still wants you to play 13."

We demonstrate spectral shaping of entangled photons in the telecom band with a programmable, fiber-based optical filter. The fine-resolution spectral control permits implementation of length-40 Hadamard codes, through which we are able to verify frequency anticorrelation with a 20-fold increase in total counts over that permitted by the equivalent pair of monochromators at the same input flux. By programming the complex spectral transmission function corresponding to a Mach–Zehnder interferometer, we also construct variations on Franson interferometers that are free from mechanical instabilities, demonstrating spectral phase independence in the slow-detector limit, in which all temporal features are unobservable. Our configuration furnishes a single, compact arrangement for manipulating telecom biphotons and characterizing their quality.

So you think that it's impossible (almost) to kill animals in large numbers without feeling stress or pain. I disagree, but rather than argue over the logistics of how such a thing could be accomplished, I want to know if you feel differently about killing animals in small numbers?
Like you, I'm partly still sorting through this. In my case the dilemma is a bit different, though. I work with animals in scientific research, and I find it one of the hardest parts of the job. We need them, of course - we need them very badly, and research really could not move at the rate that it does (if at all) if they were off-limits. While many of my colleagues see them as just another research reagent, I can't help but view them as the living organisms that they are. I've been doing this for over a year now and I find that I'm still not desensitized to it (which is a relief). Perhaps many years down the road I'd be fully desensitized - I don't know. The best I can do to avoid feeling more guilty than I do is to ensure that the animals are as comfortable as possible, all procedures are carried out as quickly and painlessly as possible, and that the inevitable death is also quick and painless (and to rag on my colleagues when they're too rough or don't observe the proper anesthesia procedures).
If you're morally impaired and money-focused, most of us here (and anyone else who finds out) will likely shun you, but good news - you'd be very successful as the CEO of a large company. Those are the behavioral traits that many top CEOs seem to have, anyway - possible career path, there.

Since the dawn of time till the end of time, someone or something must die for something else to survive. It's something that cannot be ignored or denied. Brooding over the nonsensical is a pointless waste of time better off worrying about more important things, like your own personal survival and happiness.

blinded by blood
Her point is that humans living in an industrialized society with a certain income level do not need to eat meat to survive, because we have available alternatives that fill every nutritional need. Her perspective is that if we choose to eat meat when we don't have to, we're needlessly causing suffering for reasons of convenience or pleasure rather than survival.
I don't agree, because I like to eat meat and I don't consider it immoral to kill animals for food or other useful products (such as leather).
I also don't agree with a desire to legislate against meat for economic reasons. The livestock industry is enormous, a multi-billion dollar industry that supports the lives of millions upon millions of people. If the consumption of meat were to be banned, millions of people would lose their livelihoods. Some nations would experience a full-on economic crash.
That is considerable harm and suffering beyond anything that the livestock industry could ever produce even in their most cruelest moments. As I mentioned in the environmental thread, you have to think beyond just surface appearances. Banning certain things--whether it be meat consumption or oil consumption--could have far-ranging economic consequences that have a high chance of doing far more damage and causing far more suffering than simply letting things be.
After all, would you rather have worldwide nuclear war, or a bit more CO2 in the air? Would you rather have a shattered economy with millions of people jobless and poverty-stricken, or would you rather allow livestock to be raised for meat?

I suspect from just glancing at the last page and seeing the ever complex answers from something that typically could be a yes/no answer, that a few vegeterians that are kicking up a fuss.
*hides her kebabs*
But to answer a simple question, yes I do and cannot imagine giving it up. It's prob woven deeply into my ethnic dishes and lifestyle (Food served at funerals, b'day parties or christenings, etc), so it's as natural to me as lions eating zebras or snakes eating mice or anteaters eating ants.
Now only to breed a species of something that could help wipe out the mosquito population down a few billion
The issue that does come up in question is 'consumption', but that's a problem with maintaining balance and checking out how many resturants must serve burgers and junk food. (close a few Maccy D joints perhaps?)
Gonna drop this graph, which is a bit intresting, dunno how much authenticy it has on accuracy but still interesting nonetheless.

Like I say, the only reason I don't actively object to the way things are done now is that the horrible conditions aren't the desired results. They're just byproducts of a commercial enterprise focused on turning a profit. That doesn't mean that I'm "okay with it," don't care, or wouldn't try to do things a lot differently were I given the opportunity, though.
I mean, if people shouldn't do things they don't need to in order to survive, then I guess I should toss this computer out the window, because I don't really need it.
Of course, if you restrict that to only a "ban" on things that cause "needless" suffering, then... well, I guess I should still toss this thing out a window, because I'm pretty sure someone, somewhere, had to get stepped on during the manufacturing process. A lot of the things people do for their own enjoyment cause "needless" suffering. So do a lot of things that other animals do. They're not actually trying to cause the suffering as the end product though, it's just a byproduct. To me, that's just fine. If someone causes an animal pain just because they get off on it, then I'm going to have a serious problem.
I guess my main standpoint can really be summed up by saying that I think all animals have the right to be selfish and attempt to enjoy their life to the utmost, as long as their sole intent is not merely torture. If I do something for my own enjoyment, and the only way to do it causes harm to another creature in the process, then said creature and its entire species has every right to attempt to throttle me.

Also, it depends on the extent of pain which suffering is greater. For example, there are methods of torture that wouldn't allow you to contemplate your situation much, yet you might still wish you were dead.
Animals also have a psyche that can be damaged. For example, chickens and pigs are very social creatures. Preventing them from social interaction will lead to abnormal, often self-destructive and aggressive behaviour that isn't easily "fixed". It's a sign that even though they are not contemplating the meaning of life, their suffering might very well be able to compete with that of a healthy human adult in the same situation. Again, not understanding something doesn't necessarily make it better.
If you know you are only supposed to kill ten cows before the day is over, you can take your time and make sure the animal doesn't suffer more than necessary. However, if you have to kill a hundred cows or more, you have to hurry, or you might lose your job.
I still think it would be wrong.
This is another issue that bothers me. I'm glad there are at least some people in this field who feel for the animals, but this is another thing I oppose. However, since I don't think humanity is selfless enough to drop this kind of research any time soon, I can only point to the book "Animals like Us" and nod my head in agreement to about every single point the author makes about this (and the meat eating issue, of course).
At the moment, I'd be conetent already if animals at least wouldn't be used for things anymore for which there are alternatives.

You can't handle my dreams...
...none of you can.
oddest "dream" ive had is probably during a night while i was tormented by insomia. I would fall asleep for a few sec and be awake for a few sec, back and forth like that all night.
so basically i was awake while dreaming, so instead of actually being in a dream, i started seeing dream stuff in my wake. Likes my headphones mysteriously walking around the room and my sister somehow managing to color my hair green white and red.
Eventually the clock clicked its way to 6am and i could walk away from it...

Sometimes before I fall asleep (lying on the bed with eyes closed), I will somewhat dream of stepping into either a drain or a big hole and falling into it. The fear of falling makes me wide awake again.
Do you guys have experiences before sleeping like this?

Hm... Those i've talked to who take in more anime seem to have more stranger, vivid, and realistic dreams than those who do not. It is a theory I have that anime effects the area of the mind (or parts of the mind) that influnce what you dream.
Back-to-back, with every anime I watch, my dreams become more strange and realistic.
The latest strange dream I had involved a dark city where the sky slowly turned an odd orange as I got closer to a bus station... It was hard to see the actual buildings, but I could only see the lights. It was like moonside from Earthbound. When I reached the bus stop, it became hard to breathe, and then I woke up.
Very strange indeed.

I had a weird dream last night. It was my little sister and some other girl trying to get what I think was my Ipod. I got so pissed at the other little girl that I punched her. Then I woke up and realized that I had punched the wall right next to my bed...and it hurts... I think this is the first time that I did something in reality that was in my dream...

I have amazingly vivid dreams every single night lately. My dreaming powers "leveled up" somehow after an accident I had when I was 14 which left me with a significant amount of brain damage. It's nice though, because my dreams are more entertaining than some movies.
I usually can only vividly recollect them if I recall them within 5 minutes of waking up, otherwise I'll forget most of what the dream is about. It's been 30 minutes for me this morning, but I'll try to remember as much as I can.
There was some resistance faction that was hiding away in a half cave/half sewer. The entrace was blocked by this big rock, which you needed some sort of password to get into. There was a young, ambitious woman in the group (early 20s), and one day several years ago they brought in a new guy. They didn't think that he was any different at first, but then they quickly learned that he had been cursed his whole life with "goat syndrome". It basically meant he was blind, partially deaf, and no sense of smell. Despite that, he somehow developed a sixth sense that determined changes in his surroundings (like a motion detector) so when the faction was attacked by paramilitary groups, he could dodge bullets and everything.
Back to the present, I think they were trying to rescue some girl from being house arrested. There was an outdoor pool area, and I remember that one of the assilants who fought back had the ability to call purple lightning strikes, so if you fell into the pool you were a dead man.
I honestly can't remember more than that right now, but it was a really interesting story about the goat man overcoming his disabilities and being perceived as normal by others.

Sorry for the double post, I didn't see this. A few times over the course of my life I've had the same dream. I'm suddenly riding my bike, no worries at all, then all the sudden something happens and WHAM, I fall off to one side. Now everytime I get to the WHAM part in that dream, I always fall off my bed just as it happens and get rudely awaken when I hit the floor.
It might be something subconcious, because I have fallen off a bike before and broke my collar bone and got pretty banged up. I also got hit by a car when I was riding a go-ped once, which nearly killed me when my unprotected head flew through the air with the rest of my body and slammed into a concrete sidewalk. Ouch.

Crazy Crossover Dream Between Mahoraba and World Of Warcraft
I really should stop playing World Of Warcraft for a week or two.... not only has it taken over me waking hours, but my dreamwolrd like an electronic Freddy Kruger....
Deep in slumber last night, I was under the basement of the Narutakisou Appartments, in the middle of a warm, sentimental spring Night, going through an earth-floored tunnel towards a "secret dormitory" where romantic minded tenants through the years held chaste slumber parties with pillow fights, where the tatami and blankets are so soft and warm you could sleep all day in... Kozue-Chan my cutecute and VERY huggable landlady and childhood sweetheart was there too....
Sudden multi colored crystals appeared, not so bad.
But when a glove shaped cursor appeared out of nowhere, and when it moved over each crystal a "mining" timer appeared in mid air, I started to worry.
Making matters worse, when little Tarantulas, Funnelwebs and Redback spiders started coming out of every nook and cranny, with Hit Point
(Life Point) Counters floating over thier eight eyed heads, I started shaking.
Thankfully, there was a plastic milk crate handy nearby, and I started swinging, and with each swing a "Skinning" cursor appeared over the formerly-spider paste....
Everything was going so well (hey, I was earning 500 XP a spider!!) when a tarantula with a Golden Dragon surrounding its portrait appeared...
A level 60 elite Tarantula stands between a fluffy pillow battle with Kozue-Chan. Not on my watch. :wink:
The first swing went well, as half a tarantula turned to paste. I was grinning when I FELT (it felt so real) the Tarantula PUSH THE MILK CRATE UPWARDS WITH THE STRENGTH OF A MAN that I realized it still had HALF A HITPOINT meter. At that exact moment a speech bubble appeared with a cute SD flashback of Tamami-Chan raising her hand in class saying "A Tarantula has the poportionate strength of ten men-desu!!" (Not exactly accurate, but its a dream so bear with it)
I pushed down harder and when I saw 1000XP float over the green and yellow striped gooish paste that I realized I could go on to the pillow fight.
Covered in dust, I opened the sliding paper door and was about to jump into the warm embrace of my teddy beared pajamaed cutecute sweetheart Kozue-Chan when....
....a message in the chat window said "Dream Reset in 2 seconds..."
...and I woke up.
Dammit!! When World Of Warcraft starts intruding on the cute romantic Harem-Anime dreams, its time to really log off....

That didn't hurt as much than the dream were I was machine-gunned in the back. I have to be careful in my dreams because I actually get hurt in them and wake up with killer aches where the damage was done. That dream with the machine gun really made my day painful.

All hail Facing Worlds!
That's all I can think about with the news that Epic Games is making a new Unreal Tournament game. The developer announced it's writing the first lines of code today, and the game's development will be a collaborative process in the coming months (years?).
"The game will be true to its roots as a competitive FPS," the company said in a blog.
For the moment, it's only being developed for PC, Mac, and Linux.
When it's eventually released, the new Unreal Tournament won't cost anything to play. Epic hopes to make back its money by allowing modders to sell content in a marketplace where the company takes a slice of the profits. It sounds similar to Steam workshop.
The company is going to document the game's development on Twitch, and there's a stream ongoing as this story is being published.
More details on how you can become involved in the development are in this blog post.

xml2abc is a command line utility that translates MusicXML into ABC+ notation.
The folowing elements are translated:
notes, rests, tuplets, beams, ties, key signatures, time signatures, tempo markings,
lyrics, grace notes, slurs, wedges, dynamics, barlines, several note ormanments,
text annotations, chord symbols, repeats, voltas, clefs, mapping voices to staves with
groupnames, partnames, braces and brackets. Midi instruments are assigned
to all voices.
From the header work title, movement title, composer and credit fields are translated.
All other notation is discarded.
The latin-1 and utf-8 character sets are supported.
The program translates all examples in the set from MakeMusic. The translated examples produce reasonable score when typeset with abcm2ps. In Mandoline, one of the samples, you can compare the output of xml2abc (via abcm2ps) with that of MuseScore 1.2. Another example from the set produces this score: Ave_Maria (Schubert). (see also the generated ABC of Mandoline_abc and Ave_Maria_abc)
When you have Python installed:
> python xml2abc.py [-h] [-u] [-m] [-c C] [-d D] [-v V] [-n CPL] [-b BPL] [-o DIR] [-x] [-p FMT]
[ ...]
When you use the Win32 executable:
> xml2abc.exe [-h] [-u] [-m] [-c C] [-d D] [-v V] [-n CPL] [-b BPL] [-o DIR] [-x] [-p FMT] file1 [file2 ...]
Translates all .xml files (MusicXML) or compressed .mxl files in the file list
to ABC-notation. Output goes to stdout unless the -o option is given. Wildcards in
file names are expanded.
Option -h prints help message with explanation of the options
Option -u turns off repeat translation and unfolds simple repeats instead.
Option -m output commands for midi volume and -panning and the channel number when it is different from the voice number. These commands are output in addition to the midi program number which is always output when it is present in the xml file.
Option -c C sets the filter level of the credit filter. This filter tries to eliminate redundant T: fields. The level C goes from 0 (default) to 6 (no filtering). A higher level does less filtering. The default filters as much as possible and only includes the xml credit elements if no title of movement-title is found. Level 6 does no filtering and includes all xml credit elements as T: fields.
Option -d D sets the unit length for the ABC output to L:1/D. This overrides the computation of the optimal unit length per voice.
Option -v V. The default (V=0) translates volta backets in all voices. V=1 prevents abcm2ps to write volta brackets on all but the first voice. (A %%repbra 0 command is added to each voice that hides its volta's.) When V=2 abcm2ps only typesets volta brackets on the first voice of each xml-part. When V=3 the volta brackets are only translated for the first abc voice, which has the same effect on the output of abcm2ps as V=1, but the abc code is not suited for abc2midi.
Option -n CPL sets the maximum line length for ABC output to CPL characters. The default is 100 chars per line. An integer number of bars, at least one, is always output. How many bars fit into the maximum line length is calculated from the note line, not from the lyric lines. Line- and page breaks in MusicXML are translated to '$' after the previous barline [or volta number]
Option -b BPL sets the number of bars per line. Every line of ABC will have BPL bars (measures). When both -n and -b options are given -b is ignored.
Option -o DIR translates every .xml file to a separate .abc file with the same name into directory DIR. For example, -o. puts all abc files into the same directory where the input files reside.
Option -x disables translation of xml line breaks. No abc score line breaks ($) will be output.
Option -p FMT, FMT=scale,pageheight,pagewidth,leftmargin,rightmargin,topmargin,botmargin. The specified pageformat parameters are included in the generated abc code as pseudo instructions (%%scale, %%pageheight etc.) For example: -p 0.7,25,15,1.2,1.2,1.2,1.2 sets the scale to 0.7, the page height to 25 cm, the page width to 15 cm and all margins to 1.2 cm. After -p should follow 7 (floating point) numbers separated by comma's and without any spaces! Alle measures are in centimeter (cm). The scale value is the same as used by abcm2ps, i.e. a floating point number somewhere around 1.0
Option -pf (this is option -p without number list) Enables the translation of xml page format specifications into abc page format instructions (%%pageheight etc).
The python script: xml2abc.py-63.zip (the change log)
Stand alone win32 executable: xml2abc.exe-63.zip
New: xml2abc-js: translate a MusicXML file to ABC in your browser. Select a local MusicXML file on your computer and save the ABC translation. A preview of the score is also shown, using abc2svg. No server processing is involved. All data and computations remain local on your computer. More info about the abc2svg is on: abc2svg.
abc2xml converts ABC to MusicXML. Docs and download from abc2xml.
Shortcomings in xml2abc:
- In MusciXML slurs can span staves. As far as I know this cannot be expressed in ABC. The script only translates slurs that remain within one voice.
- MusicXML allocates chords, text, wedges and dynamics to specific staves. The script translates these elements into the first voice belonging to the specified staff. Key changes are translated to all voices of the specified staff.
- Absolute positioning instructions in wedges and slurs are ignored.
- MusciXML can have separate names for parts and part-groups. The translation puts a part-group name, when present, in front of the partname with a colon as separator.
- Many notational elements are not translated.
