re/Action fundraiser on indiegogo
re/Action fundraise on indiegogo.
Their about section explains it best, but the upshot is that re/Action is (online) critical writing about games with an emphasis on alternative and marginalized subjects/voices. The test run issues of the previous months has had some extremely interesting and thoughtful writing.
(I'm not involved in it, but I genuinely want to see it succeed. It doesn't look like it is in competition with RPS either - their basic models are quite different...)

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 18/1/2013 (1677 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: I'm struggling to get over my ex fiancé. We broke up in June because I thought I cheated. Technically I did, but I was drugged and I only recently found out about it. I thought I just blacked out from alcohol, but apparently there was more to it. He's apparently moved on, has a new girlfriend that he's introduced to his family, and spent Christmas with. It's a little soon, isn't it? I'm dying a very slow and painful death inside. I have thought of buying a gun and killing myself. I love him. I hate that he's already dating. I've been trying desperately to move on. Thinking, if he's got a girlfriend, why can't I get a boyfriend? He ignores all my messages, blocked me on Facebook and I can't date. All I see is his face. I lie awake at night wishing for death. I don't want to live. Why is he doing this to me? I thought he loved me. Why would he propose if he's so happy with someone else? I can't go on living like this. -- At The Bottom, Winnipeg
Dear At The Bottom: I am sorry you are feeling so upset and seriously depressed. Because you're feeling suicidal, you need to go directly to a hospital emergency department. Don't soft-pedal the reason why to the nurse you first see. Tell the whole truth about your state, even details like the gun. Be prepared to sit for a while, as that's reality in Winnipeg. Bring food and drink and books of your own and possibly a close friend or relative, if possible. You may prefer to be alone, but you must hang in there until you can see a psychiatrist who can look after you. Don't sit there drinking coffee after coffee with no food and getting more and more hungry and upset. Why go to emergency and not a walk-in or your own physician? Because they have psychiatrists and psychiatric resident doctors on staff at hospitals. In a suicidal state you may need hospitalization or anti-depressants that kick in fast. Then you need ongoing help set up to get past this heartbreak and to build you up, so no other heartbreak can devastate the core being that is you. Your goal is to never again be a person who thinks she has to be attached to another to feel like living. The suicide prevention line at Klinic (a crisis line which also deals with people who are down but not considering suicide) is open 24/7 at 786-8686. If they are busy, keep calling back. They also offer free walk-in counselling; call 204-784-4067 for hours. (545 Broadway on Monday and Wednesday noon to 7 p.m. and Tuesday, Friday and Saturday noon to four. Transcona location at 845 Regent Ave West. is open Tuesday noon to 7 p.m.)
As for personal advice -- when a person has moved onto another, this relationship is finished and was not meant to be in this go-round on Earth. It's a myth that are is only one soul mate on this planet for each of us. Totally untrue! There are many. Anywhere else we choose to move (where there are enough people) there are more possible mates. But, you need to get your motor running again in order to attract a new person. You need to be in healthy shape -- body, mind and soul -- for a healthy relationship. Than means you need months of counselling and relaxing time with friends more than you need dating of any kind. Be clear: you don't need this particular guy back, but you may want to find a guy who is similar to him when you are ready. And, it is clear you need help with the alcohol problem. Call the Addictions Foundation of Manitoba (944-6200) for an assessment of your drinking. As for the marriage proposal that confuses you, it was made at a time before there was trouble and heartbreak. Remember this for next time: Love is not a rock, it's a plant. When a plant is finished, you have to start with a tiny new one and grow it and be very careful with it, even as it gets stronger.

Down syndrome
Nicholas was born in May of 2011. His physical development is on target. He is able to sit up, stand and is able to walk holding onto furniture. He is very active and likes to play with toys and other children. Nicholas is also very observant; when someone is playing with other kids of his group, he watches them very attentively as if wanting to take part in it. He has been seen playing with one of the other boys in his group, they giggle and talk in their own little language, as if they know exactly what the other is saying. In general, Nicholas is a serious child, but if you make him smile he smiles. He currently eats and sleeps well.
Update February 2014: Nicholas is an active and very sweet boy. He likes to run around and gladly plays with toys and other children. He eats and sleeps well. Though non-verbal at this time, Nicholas is described as a very responsive child who understands everything that is said to him and follows instructions. His nannies adore him.
Nicholas is special friends with another little boy in his group; they giggle and communicate in their own private language, as if they know exactly what the other is saying.
Update June 2016: Nicholas was transferred to a different orphanage where he now shows a lot of aggression. He walks and eats independently, is potty-trained, and understands what is said to him.Nicholas continues to be non-verbal.
Nicholas would thrive in a loving family. Photos, videos and additional reports are available upon request from the agency.

A SHOPPING centre in Worcester could get a revamp with a new-look square as plans go on display to the public.
The public will have the chance to view the proposals for the Cathedral Plaza at an exhibition at unit 20 of the centre on Thursday, May 1 between 2pm and 7pm.
Salmon Harvester Opportunity Fund, the owner of Cathedral Plaza, will be presenting its plans for the 'remodelling' of the centre before submitting an application later in the spring.
The exhibition, which will be staffed by members of the team on the first day, will provide residents and businesses in the city centre, as well as visitors, the opportunity to understand the proposals and provide comments. Feedback will be considered by the team prior to the final scheme being agreed for submission to Worcester City Council.
Nick Webb of Salmon Harvester Opportunity Fund said: "We're excited about our proposals for Cathedral Plaza and the possibility of creating a new public square for Worcester, and we hope the city is too."

Are you entering those commands from the konsole, or from the shell prompt (after logging out of X)? I'm using BTRC2, and getting weird errors trying to shut down without exiting the graphical display first. It produces errors on the next boot too.
Have you tried 'reboot now' and 'shutdown now'? It'll probably get you the same results, but it's worth a shot.

Recent comments by DigitalisT:
- Kyoukai no Kanata Finale: "KyoAni Can Still Do Action!":
This series is really great compared to other KyoAni anime I've seen (and that was quite a few…) I'm honestly glad I took up the series back in October, turned out to be one of the top series of this season in my point of view.
- Top 25 Anime of Autumn 2013:
List's as good as Miley's last video, GJ.
- Top 25 Most Hoped For Anime Sequels:
I could probably name 25 more who are worth for the sequel than current anime in the list, starting with Durarara! But the only thing I always miss in this kind of lists: where the hell is Nyan Koi!? That anime was left on a bloody cliff-hanger since for the last few years. I find the lack of that name in lists disturbing.
- Top 25 Anime Based on Light Novels:
As should Durarara! be. Even though it's out there @ 11th, it should be higher, compared to most of top 10 in the list..
- Class Envy, Japanese Style:
"Hang in there and make sure this isn't the peak of your lives, kids." indeed.

HOUSTON - It's like the Revolution gods heard my prayers last week and delivered some excellent Monroe/Miles drama straight to my face.
Let's head back, back to a few weeks after the blackout. Miles and "Bas" (aka Sabastian aka Sabastian Monroe) leave the army base in search of Miles' brother, because they're all kindsa bro tight. On their journey, they see all this devastation—people being robbed and killed with no consequence—and Miles no likey. So when they happen upon these two guys beating up this other guy, Miles flies into action, has a mini heroic monologue, and shoots the bad dudes despite Monroe's feeble objections, all in the name of order and justice...
We're at the rebel base with Miles, Charlie and Nora the Uber Hot Sniper Ex-Girlfriend. Hooray! Unfortunately, one of the rebels was captured and gave up the location of the rebel base, so now everyone's in trouble. Sad face. The militia arrives and the only weapon with which this entire base has to defend itself is that sniper rifle Nora stole—KNEW that thing would come in handy. They also happen to have an expert sniper who goes to the roof and single-handedly keeps the base safe… while the bullets last. People are sick. One guy dies. Charlie cries. The bullets run out and all hell breaks loose when the soldiers storm the base. But wait! The sergeant/captain/guy-in-charge-of-the-militia recognizes Miles! But how, you ask? Remember that guy that was getting beaten up by the bad dudes? That guy who owes his life to Miles Matthieson? IT'S THAT GUY. But wait. There's more. Miles Matthieson, our hero, lover of rebel-lady Nora, uncle of Charlie who cries a lot but we are lead to believe is a badass, was the second in command of the Monroe Republic! You know... behind Monroe. He himself trained the Monroe Militia and made up all their rules, so he knows how ruthless and unstoppable they are. He trades himself for the lives of the rebels, and as he's catching up with Blonde Militia Guy Whose Butt He Saved, things blow up and Charlie and Nora steal Miles back.
Also real quick, Google Guy and English Chick somehow turned on the flashy thing and there was momentary electricity/power. BIG DEAL.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - A 12-year-old boy was indicted Thursday on first-degree murder charges in the beating death of his 2-year-old brother.
Cristian Fernandez beat David Galarriago on March 14 at the Carrington Place Apartments in the 11800 block of Alden Road, according to the state attorney's office. The toddler died at Shands Jacksonville Medical Center two days later from blunt force trauma to the head, prosecutors said.
Fernandez is the youngest person ever indicted on murder charges in Duval County.
"The fact that we indicted a 12-year-old in and of itself is a stunning event and a sad event in our prosecutorial lives that we had to do this, but it is the only legal mechanism that we can use to protect the community from this particular defendant at this point," State Attorney Angela Corey said.
Details of the killing have not yet been released.
Bianella Susana, Fernandez's mother, was home at the time of the beating, along with the 12-year-old's two other half-siblings, Corey said.
Susana has been charged with negligent manslaughter.
No one was at the family's home Thursday to comment on the indictment. Corey said the family moved to Jacksonville to Miami less than a year ago.
"In a case of this magnitude where the facts are absolutely provable as first-degree murder, then the only way that we can trust that we can fashion any kind of a sentence that both protects the public and at some point tries to help someone who is 12 years old and commits a first-degree murder is to put it in the adult system and work from there," Corey said.
Fernandez was being housed with other juveniles at the Duval County Jail. He was given access to a counselor.
Before Thursday's indictment, the youngest person to be indicted in Duval County was a 13-year-old who killed a correctional officer decades ago.

Did you know?
Some spring wild flowers, like mesembs and gazanias, only open fully in the late morning.
The Karoo Desert Botanical Gardens, at the foot of the Hex River mountains near Worcester, are famous for being the only true succulent gardens in the southern hemisphere. This falls within the Karoo biome, which also includes the Namaqualand desert wild flower region further north.
These botanical gardens are only 120km from Cape Town and offer a spectacular floral experience, particularly in spring when the vygies (mesembs) come into flower from August to the end of September.
The garden was originally located at a railway siding at White Hill, 5km east of Matjiesfontein in the Karoo, because the local station master, a Mr J Archer, had a passion for succulents.
However, due to a lack of water at Matjiesfontein and the rerouting of the N1, the garden was moved to Worcester in 1945. A Swiss horticulturist based at Kirstenbosch, Mr J Thudichum, became the first curator of the garden and personally relocated and hand-watered many of the plants, including the quiver trees (Aloe dichotoma) that are still to be seen in the spot that he planted them.
Today, about 400 plant species occur naturally and this botanical garden is also home to 300 protected species that are being propagated here. About 144ha of the gardens are maintained as a nature reserve featuring many hiking trails. The garden is also home to 70 species of birds and a wide range of small mammals such as the Cape grey duiker.
This special botanical attraction has a plant maze, Braille trail, organised tours and a nursery stocked with indigenous species. It offers a totally unique view of some of South Africa's most colourfully spectacular flowers and plants.

Topic: Recently diagnosed.
My mother was diagnosed with this disease on December 1, 2006. We were told that she had less than three months to live as she is too old (89) for surgery or radiation.
We live in Toronto and we have already set up palliative care. I will provide more information later but I do have an initial question. At the time of diagnosis a stent was put in to reduce the jaundice which seems to be working. My question is since than my mom has had none of the symptoms of the cancer. Is this a short term thing or is this something we should be encouraged with. Any reply would be appreciated as this is new to us as I am sure it is new to a lot of people.

Bury Blue Devils progressed into the semi-final of the Manchester Amateur Basketball League Cup after a narrow 69-61 quarter-final victory over local rivals Bolton.
Although Bury beat Bolton by 16 points in the league a couple of weeks ago, coach Mike Nichols knew the hosts would be looking for a closer game at Bolton College with a full squad to pick from.
It was Bolton who showed some early form, taking a 5-0 lead until Ergoli Togo, Chris Stainton and Charlie Cuthbert hit the target.
However, it was Bolton who finished the quarter the stronger side with a 14-11 lead.
Bury suddenly found themselves 10 down as their defence allowed easy baskets and turnovers offensively saw the game tilt in Bolton's favour.
However, the Stainton brothers – Phil and Chris – found a higher gear to help Bury to a 34-29 point lead.
With Bart Szareko and Nichols hitting the target, Bury were helped by a four point play by Chris Stainton to lead 34-33 at the half-time break. Both teams traded baskets, with neither one able to push ahead before Cuthbert hit consecutive threes for Bury.
Jay Knowles made some great assists and Conor Wilkinson also blocked a shot as the visitors began to take control.
Bolton persisted with some outstanding play of their own to trail Bury by one basket with a quarter to go.
Bury switched up the defence, putting the taller Togo on Bolton's danger man and restricting his effectiveness.
With Bury leading 65-61 with a minute and a half left in the match, it was still anyone's game.
Bolton missed a basket, while Bury remained calm as Cuthbert and Nichols added the extra baskets to give the visitors a 69-61 point win. The Devils will now play a semi-final match against a premier league team.
Coach Nichols said: "This wasn't a pretty game to watch. "We were lacking the kind of form I know we are capable of, but we stepped up when we had to.
"Credit to Togo for limiting their threat and the team for staying positive throughout tough patches. "It was a scrappy win but we'll take it!"

Now this is funny. But the real kicker is that this petition has the required signatures for the Whitehouse to actually acknowledge the concept (29,341 at this time). So expect some statement in the future from the US government about this proposed Death Star construction. lol I say we better do this quick, or China will steal the idea and get a Death Sun of their own. –Matt
Secure resources and funding, and begin construction of a Death Star by 2016.
Those who sign here petition the United States government to secure funding and resources, and begin construction on a Death Star by 2016.
By focusing our defense resources into a space-superiority platform and weapon system such as a Death Star, the government can spur job creation in the fields of construction, engineering, space exploration, and more, and strengthen our national defense.

Step By Step Guide For The 'We The People'
1. You Create a Petition
Before you start a petition, take some time to think about your goal. What you want President Obama or the White House to do? Why others should support your cause? This will help you clearly articulate your position and make your petition more effective. You should also check to be sure there isn't already a petition with the same goal on the site.
Here's how to create a new petition:
Enter Basic Information Start by entering a short (120 characters or less) headline for the petition by completing the sentence "We believe the Obama Administration should…." Your headline should be clear and compelling and describe the goal of your petition. Next you'll select up to three issue categories. If you want to add additional information about the topic of your petition, you can do that later by adding tags.

A MAN was threatened at knifepoint while sat in his car by two men who tried to get him to leave his vehicle.
The victim, a 30-year-old man, was in his car, a silver BMW M5, which was parked in front of Barclays Bank in New Road between 1pm and 1.40pm on December 22.
Two men approached the victim's vehicle, and knocked on the window.
They then threatened the man in the car with a knife, before asking him to get out of the vehicle.
He refused to leave the car, after which the other two men left the scene on foot in the direction of Tesco.
The victim was not hurt during the incident, and no items were stolen.
Police describe the first suspect as being either black or mixed race, about 6ft tall, of thin build, with black short hair and a light beard. He was wearing a blue hooded jacket with a white zip and black trousers.
The second suspect is black, about 5ft 10ins tall, in his mid to late twenties, with black short hair and light beard. He was wearing a grey hooded jacket and light grey bottoms.
Investigating officer, PC Manminder Purewal said: "This incident happened during a busy time of day within a public accessible area. If you have any information about the offence please contact Thames Valley Police via101. "
Alternatively, if you don't want to speak directly to the police you can contact the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 or online at www.crimestoppers-uk.org.

How nice, as fashion week begins, to see a new brand getting some money. Today Kering, the French luxury group formerly known as PPR, announced they were taking a minority stake in young American brand Joseph Altuzarra (that's Joseph, left, with model Stella Tennant in Altuzarra). This makes their second recent investment in a new name – they bought a 51% stake in British brand Christopher Kane last January – and their first in a US designer. Read more

In papyruses from the time of Pharaoh, the Prophet Musa (as) is regularly referred to as a magician. (The papyruses in question are held in the British Museum.) Despite all the best efforts of Pharaoh and his supporters, they were never able to get the better of the Prophet Musa (as) in their all-out war against him and the Children of Israel.
This is written on the second day of the seventh month of Payni during the reign of Ramses, the elder brother of Ammon, the Sun's son who is the administrator of justice, and who lives eternally like his father, the Sun… When you receive this letter, rise, set to work and undertake the supervision of the fields. When you hear the news of a new misfortune such as a flood ruining the entire cereals, think. Hemton destroyed them by consuming them greedily, granaries are cracked, rats are clumped in fields, fleas are like hurricane, scorpions are eating up greedily, wounds caused by little flies are too many to count. And these grieve the people… The Scribe [probably referring to the Prophet Musa (as)] fulfilled the purpose to destroy the total amount of cereals… Sorceries are like their bread. Scribe… is the first of men in the art of writing.
The reference to the Prophet Musa (as), and the "magician" accusations hurled at him, can be found in the following verses:
2010-07-03 00:07:30
They said, "Magician, invoke your Lord for us by the contract He has made with you and we shall certainly follow the guidance." (Qur'an, 43:49)
They said, "No matter what kind of Sign you bring us to bewitch us, we will not believe in you." (Qur'an, 7:132)

I'm not sure what you have an electric kiln with a hole cut into it or a converted electric to gas kiln-a better description is needed
I will need more info on what you are doing as far as the kiln?

No i have removed the coils from the kiln. It is an electric kiln converted to gas propane. I don't think that this is all that uncommon.
Posted 10 December 2012 - 03:34 PM
Try getting a better mixture with some primary and secondary air and cut back on the gas.

I fire gas kilns every week with no smoking-me or the kiln do not smoke.
Posted 11 December 2012 - 08:58 AM
what types of burners are you both using that you are getting so much soot.?
In Montana when I first started teaching, the kilns had home made burners on natural gas and the start up got soot every where. ..kiln room, classroom, and ceiling of the auditorium. The mechanics room for a 7 story building was attached to the pottery room and sucked the soot into the ventilation system.
Very bad situation. natural gas varies significantly.

I'm using Ward burners - we upgraded the ones provided by Olympic. I can't GET enough air into them - we've considered adding a blower. (Husband wants to add Oxygen - I'm reluctant.) Small kiln (18"), the two burners are probably 'too much'. But the worst offender in the problem was the really sad pilot that came with the kiln - a long tube with small holes along the length, it produced prodigious amounts of soot. We're in the process of replacing that, but haven't gotten the new pilots completely functional. I've fired once since their installation (the gas/air flow blow out the pilots, and the room smells of gas - can't/won't fire again until we resolve!) There was much less soot this time, but still I can't get enough air to clean up the flame at candle.
blower is fine once it gets going

Better yet fill the dog house with propane and throw a lit ball into it-If you like this result continue with the explosive gases.
A small variable speed blower on a rheostat will fix your issue safely.
Posted 11 December 2012 - 03:23 PM
Look into an old electrolux vacuum that you can reverse the hose for blowing more air. Or look into a small squirrel cage blower from Grainger's and blow some air with that. Ideally you need to mix the air with the gas inside the burner proper OR around the burner into the secondary air space. Can you turn the pilot off once the burner is lit?
Posted 11 December 2012 - 05:58 PM
Mark - I feel compelled to point out that oxygen is not explosive. It just makes things burn better. Not that I'm leaning that direction, but let's keep the science real.
Posted 11 December 2012 - 07:30 PM
Alice,Oxygen is classified as an oxidizer, not as a flammable gas. "O2 appears to be agnitable/explosive at any percentage." It will support oxidation (i.e. burning) but oxygen itself does not burn.
It needs something to mix with say natural gas or propane are you using any of these gases in your kiln????If not then you are ok if so then you have a larger problem.
I own and use a broco underwater torch which only uses oxygen to burn at 10,000 degrees yes 10,000 degrees-it will cut a rock -makes cone 10 look like kid stuff.
You can read about it here
I know about oxygen -its not to be taken lightly.
Posted 12 December 2012 - 07:48 PM
ps. adding oxygen will solve nothing and entail enormous expense. Kiln conversions are created not designed. My experice with the people at Ward's is that they will help you redesign your conversion. they need to know the volume, the inlet sizes, the burners you have , the orifice sizes, and the vent system and its dimensions, as well as the kind of supply system you are using including the specifications of your regulators.

This stack would be set on after loading as this is a top loader-it could be just about made from anything light-metal-tin-stainless or whatever.Check out a local scrap metal yard.
You are firing this out side I assume?
Posted 12 December 2012 - 10:09 PM
. At higher altitudes you need a higher stack. You can test your draught by lighting some newspaper and see how the flame gets drawn into the kiln. Hold it a little to the side of your burner port is in the bottom /floor of your kiln. See if the flame gets drawn into the kiln. Until you see the flame pulled into the kiln, you may have an insufficient ventilation system in your converted kiln. As Mark says, a steel pipe can work. Flue tiles, bricks. But if you are building on top of a soft brick lid, you may have to suspend whatever you use in some other way than setting it on the lid of your electric kiln body.

Just saw this. Another sad day in Redsland.
Just saw this. Another sad day in Redsland.
try this one -
Some people play baseball. Baseball plays Jay Bruce.
Purkey threw a nice knuckler. RIP to one of the Reds great pitchers of the 50's and early 60's.
Talent is God Given: be humble.
Fame is man given: be thankful.
Conceit is self given: be careful.

I was too young at that time to remember Bob Purkey pitching but I know from what I've read about the man... he was good.
I second what you wrote, Randy, Rest In Peace Bob. You will be missed.
Sorry about the link not working. This was what it mentioned:
BETHEL PARK, Pa. (AP)Bob Purkey, who pitched in three All-Star games and one World Series with the Cincinnati Reds, has died. He was 78.
Purkey died Sunday, according to the Paul L. Henney Funeral Home.
Purkey had a 129-115 record and a 3.79 ERA over 13 seasons with the Pittsburgh Pirates, Reds, and St. Louis Cardinals, last appearing in a game in 1966.
He tossed a complete game in the Reds 3-2 loss to the New York Yankees in Game 3 of the 1961 World Series. He was used in relief later in the series and had an ERA of 1.64 over 11 innings. The Yankees won the title in five games.
Purkeys best season was in 1962, when he went 23-5 with a 2.81 ERA and 18 complete games.
Purkey was 103-76 in 217 starts over seven seasons with Cincinnati (1958-64) and was inducted into the Reds Hall of Fame in 1974.
Purkey is survived by his daughter, Candy Holland, and was preceded in death by his wife, Joan, and their son, Bobby Jr.
Talk about bad Karma. I was flipping through my cards, compiling what Reds I had from certain sets, when I realized I have a lot of Purkey cards just a few moments ago.
May he rest in peace.

Purkey was a fave of mine back when I was a kid. As I understand it, he was one of the last few guys to throw a knuckleball as a change of pace in addition to a full fastball-curve repertoire. Plenty of guys used to do that, but somewhere in the '60s the idea took hold that you had to devote yourself to throwing the knuckler almost exclusively, like taking monastic orders...
"In baseball, you don't know nothin'"...Yogi Berra
Bob Purkey always reminds me of my grandmother (who incidently died 41 years ago tomorrow) - she had a parakeet named Purkey - although now as an adult I assume it probably really was named "Perky"; but I thought it was named after the pitcher since she was such a huge Reds fan.
Boy that Reds staff in the 60's was loaded, probably one of the best pitching eras for the Reds (Purkey, Jay, O'Toole, Maloney, etc.)
In the same way that a baseball season never really begins, it never really ends either. - Lonnie Wheeler, "Bleachers, A Summer in Wrigley Field"

Anyway, he was a great part of Reds' history. I remember when he was traded for Roger Craig and my dad told me they had traded a one time twenty game winner for a one time twenty game loser. It made the trade seem a lot worse.
We need Reds37 to chime in here.
"I am your child from the future. I'm sorry I didn't tell you this earlier." - Dylan Easton
Bob Purkey was my favorite Red as a kid. He had that infectious smile and won games. ONe player once said facing Purkey was like going to the dentist. He was a gentleman and a damn good pitcher.
Purkey, as someone already mentioned, didn't throw the knuckler all the time, but boy was he effective, especially in 1962 when he led the league in winning percentage, but didn't win the Cy Young because he wasn't a Dodger named Drysdale. That year, Drysdale was 25-9, but had a 3.59 ERA. Purkey's was 2.81.
He was 17 games in 1958 and 1960 and won 16 in the championship year of 1961.
I was such a fan that in 1986, when I was considering going into the insurance business, I found his agency adress and asked him if he thought going into the insurance business was a good idea. Purkey was a successful insurance agent after leaving baseball. To my surprise, i got a response from him advising me to go into the business and inviting me to visit him sometime at his Bethel Park office. I always planned to do so since my in-laws live in Pittsburgh, but never got around to it. I am regretting that now.
For years I used Purkey's card as an avatar, and I will put it up again, replacing the picture of James Hylton and me. He'll always be my favorite Red. Watching Willie Mays look stupid on one of his floaters is a constant memory.

One moe thing about my hero.
When the Pirates traded Purkey to the Reds, the Pittsburgh press had a field day with the exchange. I may have mentioned this before, but the Charleston, WV paper reprinted a poem about him coming to the Reds as supposedly authored by a Pittsburgh sports writer:
There once was a pitcher named Purkey,
Whose major league future was murkey,
On Thanksgiving Day they'll trade him away,
For two infield vets and a turkey.
Some turkey. He won nearly 100 games for the Reds in only six seasons. We should be so lucky to have a pitcher like him today. Typical Pirate misjudgment.
I was just looking at that 1962 season when Purkey won 23 games. That Reds team won 98 games that season, but finished third behind the Giants (103-62) and the Dodgers (102-63). The Pirates at fourth place won 93 games and all in all, seven of the ten NL teams had winning records.
The staff that year was Joey Jay (21-14), Purkey (23-5), Jim O'Toole (16-13), Jim Maloney (9-7) and Joe Nuxhall (5-0). This is how the staff was listed by baseball-reference.com, but five other pitchers started games that season. I can't recall if the 1962 season is the year about which reliever Jim Brosnan wrote his classic book "The Long Season".
This is also the period of Reds history where I became cognizant of the team - I turned seven the previous December and these are the guys I first knew. These clubs from the early 60's were good teams. The next year, 1963, the first of the Big Red Machine would enter the stage with Pete Rose making his debut. Later that summer, an integral piece, Joe Morgan, would also get a late summer call-up. In Purkey's final season with the club, the Reds would come down to that magnificent (albeit heartbreaking for Reds and Phillies fans) fnish to the 1964 season when the Cardinals clinched the pennant.
We had some sterling starters back then.

RIP, Bob.
Is it solipsistic in here, or is it just me?
If those late 60's teams would have had that pitching, they would have been hard to beat.The staff that year was Joey Jay (21-14), Purkey (23-5), Jim O'Toole (16-13), Jim Maloney (9-7) and Joe Nuxhall (5-0).

The Von Matrices - Wednesday, February 19, 2014 - linkThe market for this is limited. Cryptcoin miners care about profit above everything else (or else they wouldn't be doing mining). No one doing mining professionally is going to spend $250 on a case. Reply
A5 - Wednesday, February 19, 2014 - linkAnyone doing it "professionally" is probably trying to transition away from GPU mining at this point. There probably was a market for this product, but it was a year or two ago. Reply
JarredWalton - Thursday, February 20, 2014 - linkSHA256 -> scrypt -> scrypt-jane and Adaptive-N-Factor scrypt
And let's not forget quark, X11, and SHA3 (keccak) that are used as well. ASICs have taken over SHA256, and they're coming for vanilla scrypt, but scrypt-jane and adaptive-n may never really see ASIC support due to the RAM requirements, and SHA3 is new enough that we're at least six months (or more?) away from a working ASIC.
TL;DR: GPU mining is still quite profitable, and is likely to remain so barring a complete collapse in the belief of investors that currently supports the cryptocurrency network. Reply
martyrant - Thursday, February 20, 2014 - linkEthereum is also using a hybrid PoW/PoS for mining and looking to the community to come up with a better idea on how to keep mining at the CPU level. Reply
ImSpartacus - Wednesday, February 19, 2014 - linkIf cryptocoin miners cared about profit, then they wouldn't be mining. It's an obscenely risky investment. Individuals are not smarter than the market. There's no beating the market in the long run.
And yet, individuals still try to mine. We see this in the record prices for AMD GPUs.
Since we're dealing with individuals that really aren't thinking straight to begin with, I think it's very reasonable to expect the DopaMINE to satisfy a sufficient market need. Reply
martyrant - Wednesday, February 19, 2014 - linkThere's insane prices on GPUs and shortages still because it IS profitable, sometimes extremely so. Obviously the market is dictating that right now, else you would sell a mass exodus of cards for below MSRP in an attempt to recoup a loss. Pretty sure used 7950s were still going for nearly $400 just the other day.
There isn't just money in Bitcoin, there's money in marscoin, peercoin, namecoin, doge, panda, sexcoin, florin, whatever the MARKET dictates that day/week.
Obviously this is revolutionary and most people don't even understand the big implications of the underlying invention of Bitcoin--the great thing isn't that we can send money flawlessly without a third party and without insane fees now (though that's nice, and why people flock to it)--the blockchain, or distributed asset ledger, allows for much greater things to be built down the line (distributed autonomous organizations, anyone?) Reply
The Von Matrices - Wednesday, February 19, 2014 - linkI completely agree. While the media continue to focus on it as a currency, the truly innovative part of Bitcoin is its usefulness as a protocol, and that is what will cause Bitcoin to grow in popularity. Bitcoin is as important as the Internet. It reminds me of the 1990s where when people thought of the internet all that came to mind was BBS, and now today we have rich web interfaces, social media, video sharing, computer gaming, etc. Reply
The Von Matrices - Wednesday, February 19, 2014 - linkYou're confusing mining and investing. You don't need to invest in order to make a profit mining. Many of the people I've met with large numbers of miners convert to conventional currencies immediately. In that case the only risk is that the hardware become worthless, which is a minimal risk considering that the graphics cards still have value for non-mining situations. If the currency completely fails, your risk is only a short period of profits (usually a day) . Reply
GhostMop - Wednesday, February 19, 2014 - linkThe chassis reminds me of the Silverstone FT02 which I use for my gaming PC. Reply
R3MF - Thursday, February 20, 2014 - linklikewise. Reply
Subyman - Wednesday, February 19, 2014 - linkHeck with using it for mining, I want one for my gaming PC. It certainly looks unique! Reply
ingwe - Wednesday, February 19, 2014 - linkI have no interest in mining, but it looks like a pretty cool case.
I would never buy it, but it looks cool nonetheless. Reply
atean - Wednesday, February 19, 2014 - linkI use Xilinx Virtex-7 FPGAs for mining. Reply
Notmyusualid - Thursday, February 20, 2014 - linkVery cool product.
Could be useful for 'password recovery', and some other GPU compute task.
But a year too late to market for coin mining. Its all FPGAs & ASICs now. Really.
And if you were to continue with GPUs, then you might still waste your time in the Americas / Europe (especially Denmark), best to come to Thailand where electricity is cheap. Almost half the price....GPU mining might still work here, but for how long? Difficulty rises all the time... Reply
Death666Angel - Thursday, February 20, 2014 - linkFor SHA256 cryptocoins maybe, but scrypt based ones are still superior on GPUs. There is one ASIC chip I'm aware of that does ~1/10 the hash rate of a 7950 (60KH/s vs 600KH/s) but costs 100USD. Reply
ET - Thursday, February 20, 2014 - linkThere are a few ASICs on the way which promise a lot better rate than GPU's. For example Alpha Technology's Viper 5Mh/s at under 70W and 25Mh/s at 300W. The days of GPU mining are numbered. Reply
cryptomarket - Thursday, February 20, 2014 - linkI have been wondering lately if the overly high rates of new coin release every week are actually sustainable from a mining perspective. Will the release rate eventually exceed the supply of miners willing to put the money down to start? Will a processing power crunch eventually create a dire situation for all of the cryptocurrencies? For more insight please go to crypto-market-news.weebly.com Reply
MrSpadge - Thursday, February 20, 2014 - link6 GPUs, well cooled and accessible, in a case which is far cheaper than any "professional" solution. This could be a game changer for any GP-GPU or PCIe-Accelerator number cruncher, who doesn't need to fit the boxes inside racks. There is a market for this outside *coins. Reply
Fenton - Thursday, February 20, 2014 - linkDid anyone proof read this before hitting publish? The chassis is interesting, but the writing is dreadful. It is genuinely hard to read as every paragraph is riddled with issues. Reply
Ian Cutress - Thursday, February 20, 2014 - linkPlease email me your concerns - email@example.com Reply
Fenton - Thursday, February 20, 2014 - linkTo be honest an email shouldn't be necessary, just read the piece through. If you can't see the numerous glaring errors then perhaps writing isn't the career path for you.
A few of the low points:
"With the ups and downs of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Litecoin and Dogecoin now part of the zeitgeist; notable trends are starting to happen."
"Up until this point, finding ways in which to place your GPUs can be tricky – this is especially true if you are in a limited space environment."
"At least three of the regular editors here at AnandTech are casually involved in mining to various degrees of success, including me – I am running a few systems at around a dozen cards, which can be quite noisy and generate some heat."
"The early bird versions are currently $200 each, with the main run will cost $250 – this includes shipping within the US, add $50 for international shipping."

Did you know?
A married Zulu woman is no longer considered a part of her own family, but of her husband's.
Zulu villages, found all through the KwaZulu-Natal province, are an integral part of this fiercely proud people's traditional way of life.
The Zulu, meaning 'people of the heavens', were once a disparate group of clans and chieftainships that were melded into a mighty, feared kingdom by Shaka in the early 19th century.
Because of the exploits of King Shaka, the Zulu are arguably the best known of Africa's tribes. Their language, tending to be idiomatic and proverbial in nature, is the most widely spoken in South Africa.
In the Zulu villages, you will see how the Zulu people hold their culture in high esteem, observing many of their old traditions, rituals and ceremonies. The typical nuclear family (or umndeni) still exists in rural KwaZulu-Natal.
The umndeni typically includes all people staying in a Zulu village – be they direct family members or 'extended family'. Everyone will stay in the homestead, which is often made up of circular, fenced huts with thatched roofs. Among the huts are sleeping quarters, with one for cooking and another for children.
Traditional clothing still worn in Zulu villages is often intricate, carrying meaning with each outfit. Men, women and children wear beads as accessories. Men wear the amabeshu - an apron made of goat or cattle skin, but worn at the back. In addition, men decorate their heads with furs and feather, while also wearing goatskin bands on their arms and legs.
Women in the Zulu villages of South Africa wear the isidwaba, a traditional Zulu skirt of goat or cattle skin. If a woman is not married, she will cover her upper body with a string of beads.
Ornate traditional wear usually comes out during celebrations, where much singing and dancing will take place. The men dress as warriors, stomping their feet to the sound of drums and unified voices while the women ululate.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 19/9/2013 (1434 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The Winnipeg Jets hit the half-way point of their NHL pre-season schedule tonight when the Minnesota Wild come to town for a 7 p.m. start at the MTS Centre.
It's Winnipeg's fourth of eight exhibition games and its first against one of its new division rivals.
The Jets and Wild will play in St. Paul, Minn., on Saturday but tonight, it's the Jets, 1-1-1 so far, who will ice the more experienced lineup.
The Wild are believed to be leaving front-line players Zach Parise and Ryan Suter at home today.
Winnipeg on the other hand is sending its top line of Bryan Little, Andrew Ladd and Blake Wheeler into the game, as well as defenceman Zach Bogosian, Toby Enstrom and Dustin Byfuglien, who will be paired with rookie Josh Morrissey for this one.
Also in tonight is right-winger Devin Setoguchi, who will be facing his old team. He came over via trade in July.
Setoguchi said this morning he didn't think tonight's affair will match up to the regular-season meetings, and expected little chirping about it.
"Oh, none" he smiled. "I don't think there will be any. It's pre-season. We'll save that talk for when the season starts and that's when you can go out there and it means something."
And when it means something, Setoguchi said, it should be a whole lot more interesting.
"We play all these teams a lot of times, four or five times, so at the end of the day you've got to beat those games to get in the playoffs," he said.
Left-winger Eric Tangradi left this morning's skate at the MTS Centre and didn't return.
"He won't be in the game," coach Claude Noel said later. "He's day-to-day. We just have to keep him out of the game. It's just a training-camp fatigue."
Noel wouldn't disclose who Tangradi's replacement for tonight would be.
"It's a, 'Where's Waldo?'" the coach chuckled.
Noel, who will put rookie Mark Scheifele between wingers James Wright and Matt Halischuk tonight, said progress is essential, no matter the opponent or the night in the pre-season.
"What we're looking for is to get better from one game to the next," Noel said. "What we're trying to do is play the right way and I find some of the guys doing some of the things we've done in the past that we've tried to change last year.
"Pre-season, players are anxious to get on the board, anxious to do some things. I want us, for example, to have shorter shifts and better line changes.
"And I want us to play more of a team game, be more to the identity we'd like to be, be hard to play against."

Patricia Goldman-Rakic (pronounced Template:Respell; born Patricia Shoer; April 22, 1937 – July 31, 2003) was an American neuroscientist/neurobiologist known for her pioneering study of the frontal lobe and her work on the cellular basis of working memory.[1]
Life Edit
Education Edit
Born in Salem, Massachusetts, Goldman-Rakic earned her bachelor's degree in neurobiology from Vassar in 1959, and her doctorate from the University of California at Los Angeles in Developmental Psychology in 1963.[2][3] Goldman-Rakic mentored and nurtured many students and colleagues while at Vassar College and she considered her graduate students her "scientific children." Interestingly enough Patricia and her husband Pasko never had children. Co-major Karen Dahlberg VanderVen '59 remembers Patricia's lively intelligence in their senior psychology seminar and her generosity and grace in helping Karen design the recruitment and coding of subject for her complicated thesis [4]
Family Edit
Goldman-Rakic had two sisters—her twin Ruth Rappaport and younger sister Linda Shoer—both of whom earned PhD's in science. Goldman-Rakic was married to Pasko Rakic, also a neuroscientist; they had no children. Before they were married, Goldman-Rakic and Rakic maintained a long distance relationship between 1974 and 1977. They were married in 1977.[2]
Career Edit
After postdoctoral positions at UCLA and New York University, she worked at the National Institute of Mental Health in neuropsychology and ultimately as chief of developmental neurobiology.[2] She moved to Yale School of Medicine in 1979 where she remained until her death. She was The Eugene Higgins Professor of Neuroscience in the neurobiology department with joint appointments in the departments of psychiatry, neurology, and psychology.[5] She was The Eugene Higgins Professor of Neuroscience in the neurobiology department with joint appointments in the departments of psychiatry, neurology, and psychology [6] Goldman-Rakic was influenced greatly by her mentor Haldor Enger Rosvold. Rosvold established the first laboratory at the National Institute of Mental Health for the study of higher cortical function and complex behavior. In 1965 Goldman-Rakic joined the lab of Rosvold, one of the few scientists doing studies on the prefrontal cortex, which at the time was considered the most inaccessible region of the cerebral cortex [7] Clare Bergson, associate professor of pharmacology and toxicology at the Medical College of Georgia, was one of many postdoctoral students whom Goldman-Rakic supported.[6] Goldman-Rakic was known for saying, "My life is devoted to science." CNN agreed, and in its celebration of the new millennium, it named her "America's best neuroscientist" in 2001 [4] One of her main contributions to psychology was to the understanding the pathophysiology of schizophrenia, Parkinson's, and Alzheimer's disease.
Death Edit
On July 29, 2003, Goldman-Rakic was struck by a car while crossing a street in Hamden, Connecticut. She died two days later, on July 31 at Yale-New Haven Hospital. Goldman-Rakic was 66 years old.[5] She is buried in Grove Street Cemetery.[8]
Contributions to science Edit
Goldman-Rakic was the first to discover and describe the circuitry of the prefrontal cortex and its relationship to working memory. Before Goldman-Rakic, scientists thought that the higher cognitive functions of the prefrontal cortex were beyond the scope of scientific study. Goldman-Rakic's research showed that methods employed to study the sensory cortices could be adapted to the highest order prefrontal cortical areas, revealing the circuit basis for higher cognitive function.[9] Because of Goldman-Rakic, scientists began to better understand the neurobiological basis of higher cognitive function, and of such disorders as schizophrenia, Alzheimer's, A.D.H.D., cerebral palsy, Parkinson's, and dementia. She used a multidisciplinary approach, applying biochemical, electrophysiological, pharmacological, anatomical and behavioral techniques to study working memory.[8] She pioneered the first studies of dopamine influences on prefrontal cortical function, research that is critical to our understanding of schizophrenia, A.D.H.D. and Parkinson's Disease. A review of her life's work, including her special role mentoring women scientists, can be found in the journal Neuron.[10] Goldman-Rakic is also the founder of the Cerebral Cortex Journal, a specialized publication by Oxford Press.
Goldman-Rakic is credited with having the first detailed structure and function of the brain's frontal lobe. Amy Arnsten [7] describes Goldman-Rakic's first major discovery thus: "Pat injected tritiated amino acids into the sulcus principals and found stunning results: patches of input in striatum (the very first description of the patch/matrix organization of this structure) and columns of input in the contralateral P.F.C." After this at the National Institute of Mental Health, Goldman-Rakic assembled a multidisciplinary team (in itself a pioneering move) and proceeded to map "the exquisite order and structure of this brain region [7] Goldman-Rakic broke down gender barriers in her field and made a name in a scientific world where women were not expected to succeed [4] Goldman-Rakic became chief of a laboratory section at the National Institute of Health in a time when few women rose to senior levels. Goldman-Rakic was an author and collaborator on hundreds of papers and she also won numbers honors and awards. Among them: The Karl Lashley Award from the American Philosophical Society, the Distinguished Scientific Contribution Award from the American Psychological Association, and a Merit Award from NIH [6] She was also the first woman honored by the Max Planck Institute for Psychiatry with its Emil Kraepelin Professor für Psychiatrie Award. Goldman-Rakic concentrated much research on what she called "working memory," describing it as the "blackboard of the mind" or "online memory" [6] For many years, the frontal lobe was considered inaccessible to rigorous exploration. Goldman-Rakic's focus was an in-depth elaboration of the workings of the frontal lobe from single cells to…how cells communicated with each other to how primates behaved [6] This was all part of her work and part of what made her a pioneer. Goldman-Rakic's research and discoveries with the prefrontal cortex spread throughout the area of schizophrenia research. According to Amy Arnsten [7] Goldman-Rakic single-handedly elevated it from phenomenology and speculation, to an understanding of basic mechanisms of disease. Goldman-Rakic was not alone in attributing an important role in working memory to the frontal lobes, an area of the neocortex largely expanded in primates but she was, however, rare in her unwavering belief that the key to understanding something as complex as working memory lies in understanding the interactions of multiple elements found in this cortical region [11] Studies she did in the 1970s demonstrated that the loss of dopamine in the prefrontal cortex led to severe disruptions in working memory, a profound discovery for neuropsychiatry [6] Those studies helped with the understanding of how drugs were used to treat the symptoms of a broad range of mental illnesses. She developed intricate and delicate procedures for placing minute lesions into the prefrontal cortex to explore how the lesions affected the animals' learning and memory functions [4] A quick search on Medline will document the magnitude of Goldman-Rakic's influence on neuroscience [7] In the 16 years before the publication of her seminal 1987 paper on prefrontal cortical circuitry and function, only 628 papers were published on prefrontal cortex. In the 16 years since 1987, there have been over 6,800 [7] I think this substantial increase in the number of published works just goes one step further to explain why her colleagues call her a pioneer of her field. She led the way for women as well as other neurobiologists into a field that was previously thought of as untouchable. Goldman-Rakic was not alone in attributing an important role in working memory to the frontal lobes, an area of the neocortex largely expanded in primates but she was, however, rare in her unwavering belief that the key to understanding something as complex as working memory lies in understanding the interactions of multiple elements found in this cortical region [11] Studies she did in the 1970s demonstrated that the loss of dopamine in the prefrontal cortex led to severe disruptions in working memory, a profound discovery for neuropsychiatry.[6] Those studies helped with the understanding of how drugs were used to treat the symptoms of a broad range of mental illnesses.

A 19-YEAR-OLD who had already been convicted of 20 offences and spent most of the last four years behind bars was given an 86-day sentence.
Stephen John Shaw, of Broadmead Park, Newport, was given the sentence after admitting assaulting a man with learning difficulties, taking his bicycle, criminal damage, three thefts, failing to comply with a young offenders order and obstructing a police officer.
Shaw pleaded with magistrates in Cwmbran to spare him jail as he feared he is becoming "institutionalised"
by being "sent to prison over and over again".
But chairwoman of the bench Carolyn Brooker said non-custodial sentences have proved unsuccessful after prosecutor Mark Salter read out details of his offending.
Past offences include common assault, for which he served 12 weeks, and robbery, for which he was handed a four-year-sentence at Cardiff Crown Court in 2008.
In 2011 he was also handed a 26- week sentence for affray.
Shaw admitted assaulting 18- year-old James Baines by beating, criminal damage to Mr Baines' bicycle and taking a bicycle without consent following an incident in Bryn Road, Blackwood, on November 22 last year.
Mr Baines was riding when Shaw stopped him and said, "let me have a go on your bike".
When he refused, the court heard, Shaw punched Mr Baines to the face and took the bike.
Shawalso admitted obstructing a police officer at Blackwood bus station on April 27, 2012, after they tried to arrest a man suspected of distributing valium.
He also admitted thefts from Asda, Newport, of clothes and alcohol on April 29, 15 bottles of lager on May 2 and whisky from B&M Bargains, Newport, on May 6.
Shaw told police: "I was off my trolley, dancing with the fairies.
I'd taken so much valium I didn't know what I was doing."
Defence barrister Linda Reid said: "He feels he's becoming completely institutionalised and hasn't been given the chance to show he can live in society."
He was given concurrent sentences of eight and four weeks for assault and criminal damage and a consecutive sentence of 30 days for breaching a young offenders order, with no terms for the other offences.

Saint Leo Moves to 14-3 on the Season
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – The Saint Leo men's tennis team picked up a hard-fought 5-4 victory over NAIA No. 1 Embry-Riddle on Wednesday afternoon at the Crotty Tennis Complex. Five of the matches in the four-hour, 40-minute contest required extra play to determine the outcome, and Saint Leo came out on top as the Lions managed to hold on for wins in four of those contests.

Cap off the cold.
There is an insane amount of energy and time spent to give helmets excellent air flow and aerodynamics. This, however, is less than ideal when the mercury drops. The Gore Bike Wear Universal Thermo Beanie fixes that downfall by employing proprietary fabrics to offer cold-weather comfort.
Thermo-stretch fabric helps retain heat while pulling perspiration from the head to keep you warm and dry. The fabric is very low-profile to easily fit under helmets, and it packs very small for stuffing in a rear pocket. The Gore Bike Wear Universal Thermal Beanie comes in ones size, and two colors, Black or Red.

I am a daily commuter and rely on my tried and true winter kit more than anything at this time of the year. When i recently lost my old Turtle Fur Beanie, i went for this beanie as a replacement, and sad that i did. While the beanie is well made, of warm materials, its one size fits feel geared toward the youth and riders with small heads and/or no hair. No matter how much i tugged on it and how tight i made my helmet, I could not keep my full ears covered. Too bad, I really wanted this to join my winter kit.
