John Moores says it isn't the way he wants it to be but he's fine with being the majority owner of the Padres for another season.
Now that Jeff Moorad has withdrawn his application to acquire Moores' 51-percent interest in the baseball club -- to expedite the 20-year TV deal with Fox Sports San Diego as the season approaches -- Moores knows he has no choice but to bear it, even if he isn't grinning.
Just a month ago the deal to sell Moores' controlling interest in the team was thought to be a slam dunk -- until MLB plugged the rim.
"That would include me," Moores said. "This was a done deal a long time ago. We were getting ready to celebrate our success. But it's not the worst situation in the world to sit in the owner's seat from time to time for another season -- though I am conflicted about it, no question."
Moorad and his partners own 49 percent of the Padres and although they still have two years under their agreement to purchase the remainder of the franchise, it was thought the deal would be done in January. For whatever reason -- Moorad, due to his days as an agent, is said to be unpopular with some baseball owners -- the transaction was tabled. Now it really appears to be on the back burner.
Asked what his gut tells him about the sale, Moores said: "One of the things Jeff and I agreed on was not to drive people nuts trying to guess what's going to happen, so I'm not going to comment on it until the deal is in the can.
"There probably are 27 factors and 100 moving parts. There are some old wounds, some relating to philosophy on how baseball teams should be run. I quit guessing sometime back. We decided to focus on the fact that we have to get the TV deal done before everything else and we're hoping to get it done next week.
"Jeff has done the right thing for the Padres, putting the club ahead of ownership. How many people do you know who would do that? I'm hoping the TV deal is done quickly. If it's not, fans are going to be outraged. This will affect people's business lives as well. The TV deal is a home run for the Padres."
Meanwhile, the sale remains in the on-deck circle -- or in the parking lot.

Neighbor Grover sez he totally takes back all those times he didn't want to take a nap when he was a youngster.
T his is one of those smallworld stories.
Wife Pegaroo and I, along with daughter-in-law Noelia and her sons (our grandsons) Kevin and Agustin, spent last weekend in Victoria with son Ken and his boys, Esten and Will.
The eight of us were celebrating Will's eighth birthday at I-Hop, chowing down on a hearty noontime breakfast, when a familiar face entered the building.
A waitress guided this familiar face and his wife to a booth near our table, but he paused in front of me and said, "Cooke, right?"
I stood and we shook hands. "I know your face," I said, "but I can't call up a name."
"John Stewart," he said. "I grew up in Rockdale and I'm the police chief in Port Lavaca."
John and wife Carol live in Port Lavaca, about 25 minutes away from Victoria. He's in his eighth year as police chief there, commands a force of 20 officers in a town of about 15,000. "We could use five more officers," he said, "but most police chiefs would say the same thing."
I remember John's parents well. In fact, his dad John was one of the subjects in a series of World War II veterans' stories we ran several years back. And his mother, Evelyn Stewart, ran a day care for years near the football field. There's a huge chunk of Rockdale's population that she helped raise. They remember her as "MawMaw."
John said he makes it back to Rockdale occasionally, and has two sisters living here, Margaret Farr and Eileen Stewart. Another sister, Elaine (Eileen's twin) lives in California and a brother, Gary Stewart, lives in Overton.
John graduated from Rockdale High School in 1966, and while a student had a band that played for a lot of local functions. He's been picking guitar since he was six years old and still does so, exceptionally well. His band, 1090 Line, plays most Friday nights at Six Mile Bar, the only bar in Six Mile, and draws quite a following.
The Victoria Advocate recently ran a photo feature on John and his band, and how he's able to blend that with his profession of arresting bad guys and enforcing the law.
After graduating RHS in 1966, John joined the Army and was soon a military policeman, serving until his discharge in 1974. He then joined the Austin Police Department where he worked for 26 years.
"I retired from the Austin PD at age 49," he said, "but two years later I'd had enough of retirement. It just didn't take."
So he was hired by the City of Brady as police chief and stayed in that job for six years. He's been the chief at Port Lavaca for eight years.
"The city manager who hired me at Brady, Bob Turner, had become city manager at Port Lavaca," John said. "Bob had a bit of a mess on his hands and asked me if I'd move to Port Lavaca as chief. I've been here ever since."
John has always maintained his guitar skills, although he didn't play in bands during his career in Austin and Brady, mostly just pickin' at home where music was a good release from the stresses of police work.
The band grew out of a friendship with a neighbor who shared an interest in pickin' and singing. They jammed in their garages for a time, gradually added another guitarist, a bassist and a drummer. A versatile band, 1090 Line, was set.
Police Chief John Stewart, a man of good stock, still going strong, policing a lot and pickin' a little too.

As matters become more complicated, Spenser's longtime love, Susan, begins offering some input by analyzing Eisenhower's behavior patterns in hopes of opening up a new avenue of investigation. It seems that not all of Gary's women are rich. So if he's not using them for blackmail, then what is his purpose? Spenser switches tactics to focus on the husbands, only to find that innocence and guilt may be two sides of the same coin.
With its eloquently spare prose and some of the best supporting characters to grace the printed page, The Professional is further proof that "[t]here's hardly an author in the crime novel business like Parker" (Pittsburgh Post-Gazette).
©2009 Robert B. Parker; (P)2009 Random House
"Another wonderful Spencer book"
As with an earlier reviewer I, too, have been reading the Spencer books for a very long time. I have either read or listened to them all from the first book and have always enjoyed them for what they are - light reading with an interesting story to tell, but with no serious moral issues at stake.
I would not normally have reviewed this book since I have not reviewed any of the previous Audible Spencer books I have listened to, but was convinced to do so by some of the negative reviews I saw. Robert B Parker was a master of the short sentence and short chapter. His books are full of "He said" and "She said", but they are at the core of his writing style and, over time, I have become so wrapped up in the story and the characters that I no longer even notice. Rather it is the regular characters in the book, their relationships with each other and the underlying humor that have made these books so enjoyable, at least for me. Add to that an interesting story, the process of unraveling what actually happened and who did it and the masterful reading of Joe Mantegna and you have a pleasant couple of days of listening.
I enjoy these books so much that I often listen to them again when I want to spend a couple of days just relaxing. For me, the pleasure is in the listening and light humor more than in the "who-dun-it". If you are looking for the Maltese Falcon, you are not going to find it here. I, for one, am truly going to miss seeing more of these books since Mr. Parker recently died and I assume there is no one to continue the series.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who just wants a pleasant relaxed read, but I would also recommend that they start with some of the earlier books since much of the pleasure from the book involves the relations between the characters and that is something that you need some history to understand.
"Some positive feedback"
I respectfully disagree with the first two reviews posted on Audible that expressed significant disappointment with this book. Perhaps if this was the first Spenser book I ever read (or listened to) I would have been disappointed. Having not missed a single one since the very beginning more than 20 years ago, this book was exactly along the lines of what I would have expected from Robert Parker. Spenser played his role as he always does, Susan and Hawk added some interesting perspectives, and many of Spenser's old friends played their reliable parts. The story wasn't the best one Mr. Parker ever wrote but it entertained me and I listened my way through it in less than two days and I was satisfied when it ended. I recommend this book most particularly for anyone who likes Spenser. If you haven't read him before, try one of Mr. Parker's earlier Spenser books first and you'll eventually get around to reading this one as you won't be able to stop following Spenser's travails. I can't wait for the next one and I'll happily take Jesse Stone or Virgil and Everett when Spenser is not available as all of Mr. Parker's series are entertaining (but read each series in order if you have the ability to do so--it's much more fun that way!). --A huge fan
"big disapointment"
Someone must of had a deadline to meet to publish this book. Spencer couldn't pull this story off with all his glib charm. Not much plot -- Spencer and the author wander aimlessly thru this one to a equally poor finish. I have always been a big Spencer fan but I want my money back. My biggest regret is that i tried to stay with the story thinking it might get better. Shame on you Mr. Parker we have come to expect better from you.
"Disappointing final book"
I have been an avid Spenser fan and mourn the death of Robert Parker. Unfortunately, his last entry into the series was a bit of a disappointment to me. First, let me say the positive, Joe Mantegna does his usual, excellent performance. He has become Spenser to me much like Dick Hill is Jack Reacher and Len Cariou is Harry Bosch, other favorites of mine. The story itself leaves much to be desired.
I actually found the plot quite boring. With the exception of the regulars, the new characters were so vacuous that I could not care less about their stories and if they lived or died. There was no suspense or tension as Spenser, Hawk and Susan were never in any danger and were pretty peripheral. There was essentially no action whatsoever. Finally, there seemed to be inordinately long stretches where all that was going on was Spenser and Susan dissecting the meaning of love and their relationship. It almost seems as if Mr. Parker realized this would be his final entry and was writing this to someone close to him.
Thank you Mr. Parker for all of the pleasure you have brought to us in the past. I will miss the regular entries into this entertaining series of books.
"Reader does a great job"
The reader does a great job and the book is very entertaining. It's on my better book list.
"Highly recommend"
Highly recommend for all the usual reasons - great storyline, narrator...everything you expect from a Spenser listen. I can't listen to anyone but Mantegna read a Spenser novel. Won't even consider buying the others because the few I've tried, the narrators are a huge distraction. Please re-release them all with Mantegna!
"Lenny and George redux"
It seems as though my favorite author Robert Parker in this novel, wrote two novels and had difficulty getting them together.
"Good story, good voice, great for listening."
Blackmail, sex, and mystery
I am a Spencer fan. The stories are good, they move along, the characters are interesting.
Spenser and Hawk vie for my favorite
no. I listen while I commute
"Mantegna's great!"
The narrator made this book great, especially in his voice characterizations. His voice for the muscle, Boo, for example, is worth the price of the book, in my opinion. The one problem with the audio version is really caused by Parker's writing style: the number of the times the phrase "he said" and "she said" appears in this book is in the hundreds; and that number is obvious when the book is read aloud. Mantenga's performance, however, outweighs the aggravation caused by the "he said/she said" issue, in my opinion.
Yes. This is the third of Parker's books that I have read or listened two, and I have enjoyed the plots of all of them. I haven't finished this book yet, and I still don't know "who done it."
Any scene with the mobster Boo... :). Also, the character Hawk has some funny lines, as always.
I laughed out loud on a few occasions, and often listened with a smile on my face and an occasional chuckle. Very enjoyable book!
"Heard Parts of this on XM Book Radio"
I got into listening to this story on XM Book Radio. Unfortunately they only played an hour at a time and I was missing chapters. I like the way Joe Montagna reads the story. I agree with some of the others about the
"Better to read than listen"
This is a good story but has too much he said, she said after each line.. We know they said it as Joe Mantegna has different voices he uses, it really spoilt the story for me and didn't think it made it suitable for audio, would be better read.

According to AskMen, a whole "new era" of men are important to men these days. If you take a look at the list, both Neil Patrick Harris (No. 38) and Frank Ocean (No. 8) are included, along with edgy actors Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Ryan Gosling, Tom Hardy, and Michael Fassbender (or were they jealous of his schlong in Shame?). Although James Bond is No. 1 on the list (really?), it's kind of fascinating to see men who aren't afraid to discuss their sexuality to be included.
Referring to recent conversations about the "end of men" James Bassil, editor-in-chief of AskMen said: "Despite the regular reminders that our gender has reached its end, AskMen's Top 49 list offers up plenty of examples of men who have sustained success -- and others who found it anew through reinventing themselves, just as many of our readers have had to in recent years."

EDINA, Minn. - That faint roar from the north you heard periodically yesterday? That was Laurie Brower's own personal gallery.
They had much to cheer about too. After struggling to an 8-over 81 Thursday, Brower carded a 1-under 72 Friday at the U.S. Women's Open at Interlachen Country Club.
Despite the low score, Brower missed the cut by five strokes.
But that didn't dampen the spirits of Brower's adoring fans. Clad in white T-shirts with "Brower Power" emblazoned in red, white and blue on the chest, the group followed the Lubbock native, who started Friday on the back nine, to an even par first nine holes, including Brower's first birdie of the tournament on the par-4 No. 11.
She followed with a bogey on 14, another birdie on 16 and a bogey on 17.
"My caddie made the bogeys but I made the birdies," Brower said with a chuckle. "I kept saying I've gotta quit giving these back if I'm going to make it.' "
That trend continued on the front, where Brower birdied No. 2, No. 4 and No. 8, but followed with bogeys at No. 3 and No. 9. On No. 4, a par 3, Brower knocked her 5-iron off the tee to within 10 feet before draining the birdie putt. Her 4-hybrid also left her 10 feet on No. 8, but that wasn't a problem either.
"I played like I did [Thursday]," Brower said. "But [Thursday], those par 5's got me."
Those pesky par 5 holes that haunted Brower on Thursday? Not a problem Friday, as she finished day two even par on Interlachen's five longest holes - a six-shot improvement from Thursday.
"I stayed out of those bunkers," Brower said. "I didn't get in a single bunker all day. [Thursday] I was in three or four of them, just off the tee. Two of those, I didn't even have shots out. It was a big difference [Friday]."
Her par on No. 13 also exorcised a few demons - putting behind her the ugly eight from Thursday. In the end, that triple bogey went a long way towards preventing Brower from playing this weekend.
"You can't look at it that way," Brower said. "Yeah, those par 5s and those bunkers hurt me. But everything else was good."
Brower said she'd remember this experience at the Open for a long time, thanks in large part to the friends and family that followed her - the creators of "Brower Power."
"They cheered for everybody, so they weren't obnoxious fans," Brower said. "But boy, we had a lot of fun. That's what the Open is all about."
A low score and cheering gallery: A Laurie Brower revival perhaps?
"I don't know about that," Brower said. "I need to go home and nurse some injuries. I don't know when you'll see me again."

Oct 6th 2011
The Public Company Accounting Oversight Board has received over 140 comment letters; as of the September 30 comment deadline, on its Concept Release on the Auditor's Reporting Model.
If the ideas in the Concept Release move forward to proposed and final rulemaking, they could mark significant changes in the language of the auditor's report – and, in turn, in the way that audits are conducted.
(Although directed at public company audits, any resultant changes in PCAOB audit standards could also indirectly impact private company audits, to the extent audit firms that service both types of clients move to incorporate one set of standard practices in their audits (and to the extent there is harmony with AICPA requirements for audits of nonpublic companies).
In addition to the comment letter process, the PCAOB also invited feedback on the Concept Release at a September 15 roundtable; an unofficial transcript of the roundtable was recently posted.
FEI Views on Auditor's Reporting Model
In a comment letter filed last week, FEI's Committee on Corporate Reporting provided its views on the PCAOB's Concept Release on the Auditor's Reporting Model. Read more in the FEI CCR letter.

" Brand: Rubies "
My eldest son has been asking me for quite some time to buy him a batman costume to play dress up in. There was a suit at his school when he was in the foundation unit that he dressed up in every day, so when he moved up into year one, one of the things he has missed most is this costume, so I decided to get him his own version.
There are many different costumes to choose from. There are black ones, blue ones, grey ones. I decided to go for this version by Rubies as we have bought a couple of other costumes by this company, so I knew that it should be well made and designed for robust play.
This suit is available in 3 size options - age 3-5, 5-7, 0r 8-10. I was a little unsure what size to get for my son as he is only just 6, but he is a very tall child for his age, so he has recently outgrown some of his Ben 10 costumes in age 5-7. However, 8-10 seemed as though it would be too big, so I did in the end go for 5-7 as reviews on amazon suggested others had found this suit a big fit. I agree fully with this opinion.
This was a good choice as this is the perfect length for his frame, which is around 126cm.
It is a little long but not enough to trip him up. The bagginess seems to sit in the suit, and the boots are fabric which sits over his feet. However, the all in one jumpsuit has a chest plate for the muscular frame of batman, and this is quite a hard piece which is too big for his frame and it seems to be pushed up while he is playing so it is sat under his chin rather than on his chest, and he finds it a bit uncomfortable to wear at the moment for long periods, particularly if he is sat or crouched down. It is less of a problem when he is stood up.
The cape is a thin piece of fabric which fastens with velcro around his neck. I am not fond of things being tied around my children's necks while they are playing, but if this caught on something it would come undone straight away. There is then a head piece which covers the hair, forehead and eyes, and fastens with velcro under the chin. These items are both a good fit for his size. The last piece to the costume is a yellow utility belt that fastens by tying at the back of the costume. My son is not that impressed by this bit, as he can't tie it on himself independently, and also, it is a bit pointless. If it had bits on the utility belt that you were storing there till you needed them, then it might seem more useful to him.
This costume does look brilliant, and is well made, but it is huge even on big children. My youngest son is as big as most of the 5-6 year olds in his brothers class, and is about 120cm, but when he tried this on he had around 2 foot of extra material flapping round his legs and causing him the risk of falling over. He is disappointed I won't let him wear this.
I also have to mark it down a little for not being that comfy to wear, but it is still a lot of fun for boys to dress as a superhero and my son still loves having his own batman dress up.
Like most dress up costumes, this shouldn't be washed in a machine, only sponge washed. I do risk handwashing some dressing up items, but with this I don't think I would dare too as it would spoil the padded chest plate and the fake muscles in the arms which seem to be stuffed like toys are. I think if the sizing information was better with this costume and we got the size right for the child, I would rate this more highly, but I would still give it a very respectable 4 stars.
I bought mine from amazon, paying £14.71 for it in age 5-7. This is a fair price for the quality of the costume. The company were very prompt to despatch this item, and it was well packaged. I do recommend the costume, but only if you buy it in an appropriate size for the recipient.

If you purchased event tickets through Ticketmaster between Oct. 21, 1999, and Oct. 19, 2011, you've probably already received an email informing you of the corporation's proposed settlement in a long-standing class-action suit.
Originally filed eight years ago by two men in Los Angeles, Curt Schlesinger, et al. v. Ticketmaster claimed customers were being charged excessive and untruthful order-processing and UPS "expedited delivery" fees. As opposed to a straight-up refund, the proposed settlement states that customers will be eligible for— wait for it—a $1.50 credit for up to 17 tickets bought between the lawsuit's specified dates on future Ticketmaster purchases. Those who were charged the expedited-delivery fee will see a $5 credit applied the next time they use the service.
A spokesperson for Ticketmaster described the proposed settlement to CNNMoney as "fair, reasonable and adequate as a compromise." However, the nonprofit Center for Class Action Fairness calls it "appalling," saying the "coupon settlement . . . would be illegal in federal court."
A California court will hold a final hearing for approval of the settlement May 29, 2012. From a Dec. 6 Heard Mentality post.

Cypress Hill's Eric Bobo and Chilean DJ/producer Latin Bitman have joined musical forces. The seed of the Ritmo Machine collaboration was sown earlier this year when Cypress Hill performed in South America as part of the Lollapalooza tour. After connecting, Bitman and Bobo recorded an album together in Argentina, Welcome to the Ritmo Machine, a Latin funk meets hip-hop sonic revelation released last month.
Bobo, son of the late Latin-jazz legend Willie Bobo, lends his live percussion talents to Bitman's production powers. The beats floss DJ scratches, old-school hip-hop drums, progressive electronica, Latin rhythms, funky guitar riffs and bass lines. The concoction is a unifying glimpse of the future guaranteed to be infectious from Santiago de Chile all the way to New York City.
Welcome to the Ritmo Machine also features a number of high-caliber artists. Sick Jacken of Psycho Realm and Grammy-nominated Chilean rapper Ana Tijoux share rhyming responsibilities on "La Calle." Also included are Cypress Hill's Sen-Dog, Jurassic 5's Chali 2na, Money Mark and Mix Master Mike of the Beasties.
Ritmo Machine's "Maestro" is the funky Afrobeat that sparked the creative direction of the dynamic duo, and courtesy of Nacional Records, all our loyal Heard Mentality readers can download the song for free at our music blog! From a Dec. 2 post.

Logitech MX Air Mouse
We have a friend that uses a gyroscopic mouse for surfing the web on his tv while sitting on the couch. It takes some getting used trying to navigate with your hand in the air like you are conducting an orchestra but is surprisingly easy after a little while. Although the gyro mice that we have used tend to work just fine, none of them look particularly beautiful. Enter the Logitech MX Air Mouse.
This mouse combines the functions of both a traditional desk top mouse and gyroscopic mouse. The inclusion of touch functionality allows for a very sleek design while still maintaining all the functions of a dual function mouse. Maybe we will consider setting up our system through our TV.

WATCH: Howard Dean Hosts Countdown
No one around is talking about healthcare reform half as effectively or convincingly as Dr. Howard Dean. So when Keith Olbermann stepped away from the big desk at Countdown with Keith Olbermann for a few nights, Dean was the perfect choice to pinch-hit.
In this clip from last night's Countdown, Dr. Dean looks at the perfect model and best argument for government-run healthcare: Veterans' Affairs.
As a journalist, guest Phillip Longman (Best Care Anywhere) was on assignment to find the best healthcare system around. What he found surprised him: a model of efficiency and cost control that was, yes, government-run.

Medical Definition of Repair, hernia
Repair, hernia: Also called a herniorrhaphy, a surgical repair of a hernia. Hernia repair may be done under local or general anesthesia using a conventional incision or a laparoscope.
The alternative term "herniorrhaphy" comes from hernio-, referring to a hernia + the Greek rhaphe, a seam = putting a seam (or suture) in a hernia.Source: MedTerms™ Medical Dictionary

New York Liberty Guard Crystal Robinson to be Enshrined
(Credit SOSU Sports Information)
The NAIA announced that Robinson will be inducted in to the NAIA Hall of Fame Women's Basketball Athlete category on March 18, 2003, at the Hall of Fame Banquet in Jackson, Tenn.
"It's a great honor to be inducted into the NAIA Hall of Fame," said an elated Crystal Robinson. "My goal was never to receive recognition only to play the game that I love. Although I'm very happy and proud that my hard work has earned me this honor."
Robinson completed her fourth season with the New York Liberty in 2002 leading the team in three-point field goals made per game (67), third in points per game (11.8 ppg) and third in three-point field-goal percentage (.371). The Atoka, Okla., native recorded a season-high 24 points including 6-of-9 shooting from three-point land versus the Indiana Fever on June 25, 2002.
"I can not think of anyone more qualified for this honor," said SOSU Director of Athletic Dr. Don Parham. "She is the best women's basketball player ever produced by Oklahoma high schools and certainly is the greatest female athlete in Southeastern's history."
(Credit MSG Photos)
After her stellar career with the Lady Savages from 1993-96, Robinson left SOSU as the NAIA's fifth all-time leading scorer with 3,023 career points. As of today, she still holds the career national tournament scoring record with 177 points in SOSU's three trips to the event. She is the Lady Savages all-time leader in points, rebounds (1,165), assists (547) and steals (376).
Over her four years at Southeastern, Robinson averaged 27.0 points and 10.4 rebounds per contest, both SOSU career records, over her 112-game career. Throughout that span, the Lady Savages boasted a 90-22 overall record including a 35-2 record during the 1995-96 season when SOSU claimed its only Oklahoma Intercollegiate Conference regular-season title. Robinson was a four-time First-Team All-OIC selection and was selected as OIC Player-of-the-Year after the 1994, 1995 and 1996 seasons.
"Crystal is a once in a lifetime player," said Lady Savage head coach Nick Keith. "I have always felt that it was one of the greatest joys in my life to coach her. Not only was she one of the greatest players around, she was an unbelievable teammate. I have never coached a more unselfish player."
Robinson, who was chosen to The Daily Oklahoman All-Century Team for both Oklahoma high schools and universities, becomes just the third women's basketball player ever to be enshrined by the Association, joining Kelly Litch of Southwestern Oklahoma State University (1991) and Jo Metzger of Western Washington University (1992).

I have a dragon cake due Oct 3. I have made all of the gumpaste parts. Started the board and will be doing the RKT head and neck this weekend. I ordered the cake sparklers. What I want to know is can I cut the fondant scales in advance or will they crack when I apply them? I plan on using a WASC recipe and maybe ganache. I may have more questions down the line. http://cakefixation.blogspot.com/2012/03/how-to-make-fire-breathing-dragon-cake.html
I have found that it takes longer to do that part ahead. I think the scales will be harder to glue on when dry.
When they are fresh and damp, they will adhere without sugar glue
Holy smoke! I just looked at those instructions! My ADHD kicked in real quick and I started scanning...I can't wait to see this cake Batterup!
Me too!!! I saw thsi tutorial. I am a hobby baker but I think you could make the scales in advance? It is such a detailed cake i would try and do as much in advance
I have been studying this for months. I was originally supposed to make it for the couples younger daughter earlier this month but something came up on their end so I am doing it for their older daughter. The husband is doing $500 worth of home upgrades in exchange...
This is what I have done so far as well as 1 wing. I bought my rice krispies this afternoon and will probably start those tomorrow. (Promised myself to set firm working hours 6-5 as I was working straight up to 10pm every night and making stupid mistakes!) It was kind of hard to judge what size to make the spikes and horns since I don't have the body sitting in front of me...If anyone has any tips or advice I'm open.
I would definitely not punch out the dots ahead of time. You are going to want them to be flexible and bend all around the body. Just have a helper punch them out while you put them on.
I've learned to wait to do some things ahead of time...like spikes & horns until I'm sculpted. Those little kinds of thing (with tylose) will harden fast and can be made once you are sculpted. Sometimes, like you said, it's just hard to judge the size of some things.
I do understand getting all organized and getting as much done ahead as possible. I like doing that too.
I can't wait to see this!
I wish I had a helper!!! Lol...well I hope I don't have to redo them. Although they weren't as time consuming as I expected. I know I will begetting stressed as time closes in.
Batter it might be too late this time, but for next time print out the pic of the cake the size you want it to be. Then use that as your guide for sizes of premade pieces like nails, eyes, ears, ect. Then use the same print out as your guide to sculpting. Then every thing is in sync. I agree with Ddaigle don't make them in advance. Make them day of. Just get your texture board. Cut the circles press on board and attach. They will lay better on the curved dragon and less cracking. If you make them in advance they are going to have one shape.
The little scales on the face CAN be done in advance. They are so small that the curves won't affect them. I remember the trade for this cake and wish you luck it
looks like a super fun cake!
AI remember when you started talking about this! Your getting your new cabinets right?!
Anyway, one of my favorite bloggers Angie from Sugar Sweet Cakes mentioned making pieces in advance and she stuck them in the freezer and said they were still pliable when she pulled them out. Might be worth trying for some of them if you want to work ahead. I've seen the cake and that's a ton of work :)
It will look really cool when you're finished
new built in shelving unit....I think the toughest part is cutting all of those circles. I may try freezingsome fondant circles for a couple of days as a test. I'm going to at least go ahead and color all of my fondant (5 lbs!!) and probably decorate the head ahead of time....
AIf you don't mind me asking how are you cutting the circles?
I have a set of circle cutters...one at a time! lol
AAwwww good luck!!
Grrrrrrr....I was going to do Swiss chocolate WASC with Peanut butter Swiss meringue filling. But she asked the little girl and she said vanilla/strawberry. Am I the only one who gets annoyed when out of about 30 flavors people ask for the same thing they always eat. I don't even have vanilla cake on my menu. I know, I know it is their cake and they should have whatever they want but I don't like making the same ol flavor they could get anywhere.
AI use Fondarific and it will stay soft for a whole. If you placed them in between Saran Wrap and laid them flat in a large ziplock you could also try to do the circles in advance that way.

BatterUp, when I made my Christmas tree cake, I cut the leaves ahead of time. I don't remember exactly how far ahead but at least a week. I layered them between waxed paper in an airtight container. They stayed soft and flexible until I was ready to decorate the cake.
AI showed my son that cake when I tried to make one for him - I told him - mommy isn't that good honey. But he still loved his Nightfury (little on the brown side) ;) and it Did breathe Blue Flame candles! :-D Good luck!
I don't see it being that difficult, just time consuming. I know how to carve cake, sculpt RKT's, and cut fondant circles. I wouldn't attempt it if it was supposed to be smooth fondant. I don't expect it to turn out perfectly and Jessica is fine with that (we go back years)and if it turns out even close Olivia will love it. We'll see how the head and neck come together tonight! But I am confident that I can produce a close facsimile.
If you add more crispies to the neck and lips I think you'd be fine with covering with chocolate.
It was a bit hard to tell from the tutorial but I think the lips aren't as protruding. Otherwise if you used the MC you could sculpt it after you put it on. You are doing great. Looks really smooth already!
I crush my RKT up before I make the batch so I don't have a bumpy sculpt. It also helps with the cellulite look that a sculpt can show. Since you have a few holes, I would use white chocolate and fill in the holes before covering. I always use white chocolate on my RKT sculpts before covering in fondant. Looking good so far!!
I did crush them but apparently not good enough. Last time I actually mixed the MC in with the RKT's because they weren't holding their form. This batch of RKT's were great to work with. I just made a batch of candy clay so I am going to try that first. It will fill in the holes and it's easy to smooth in out with a warm finger...I'llsee how that goes. Luckily the fondant doesn't have to lay smooth so the little bump will be easy to mask. I mean what self respecting dragon doesn't have war wounds from fighting?
True...most dragons haven't had facials! LOL Gonna be fun following this.
I'd take off the 'lips' before covering, that will be even more exaggerated once covered, otherwise it might look like he's pulling a duck face :)
The mouth is defined liked yours, but tapers in, instead of puckering(?) I don't know how else to describe it, haha.
I meant smooth compared to the tutorial ...lol that thing was LUMPY...but again its not gonna matter once covered with chocolate and scales.
Grrrrrrr....I was going to do Swiss chocolate WASC with Peanut butter Swiss meringue filling. But she asked the little girl and she said vanilla/strawberry. Am I the only one who gets annoyed when out of about 30 flavors people ask for the same thing they always eat. I don't even have vanilla cake on my menu. I know, I know it is their cake and they should have whatever they want but I don't like making the same ol flavor they could get anywhere.
What a fun cake - Can't wait to see it finished. Very cool indeed :)
My most requested is chocolate with raspberry filling. With the exception of my B'day cake ( I refused to make chocolate) my last 6.
just a thought.
Rolling out fondant, letting it semidry and layer them one on top with corn starch (say 5 layers) and use a cutter to cut through all at a time; so you get 5 instead of 1.
Has anyone tried this ? will this even work ?
I may give this a try

KUALA LUMPUR (Reuters) - Health authorities in Asia should diagnose Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients early so that drugs may be given to stabilize symptoms and relatives, or caregivers, can be better prepared, experts said on Friday.
AD is set to explode in Asia in coming decades with a fast-aging population, and dementia patients are forecast to reach 64.6 million by 2050, more than half the global estimate of 115 million in that year.
But diagnosis of this fatal brain-wasting disease that affects memory, thinking, behavior and ability to handle daily activities is almost always made so late that the few drugs that may stabilize symptoms are no longer effective.
"That brain region gets worse and worse linearly. By catching it earlier, it's easier to stop whatever is going on," said Professor Barry Reisberg of the Alzheimer's Disease Center at New York University School of Medicine, who spoke at a regional conference on Alzheimer's disease in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
"There are a lot of ideas to stop progression, exercise for better cardiovascular health, mental (exercise). People need to be aware and make choices," he told Reuters later.
He presented a study published in early 2010 in "Alzheimer's & Dementia," where he and his colleagues monitored for 7 years 200 participants who complained of memory lapses, or "subjective cognitive impairment." Ninety went on to develop mild cognitive impairment, the stage before dementia.
"It is possible to detect as early as 22 years before AD symptoms show. This is something scientists can address."
AD not only affects patients but relatives and caregivers tending to the sufferers, who need 24-hour help in advanced stages of the illness. AD, the most common form of dementia, lasts for around 10 years and robs people of their memory and thought processes and eventually, bodily functions.
David Dai, a gerontologist and AD expert in Hong Kong, said: "There are drugs to stabilize symptoms. They are especially useful in early and middle stages so the person can be better managed at home. But it can't stop progression of the disease."

Photographer's Note
Finally, we have a wonderful spring here!
This was taken in Corbeni, a commune in Argeş County, south central Romania. It is composed of eight villages: Berindeşti, Bucşeneşti, Corbeni, Oeştii Pământeni, Oeştii Ungureni, Poienari, Rotunda and Tulburea.

Hello Daniel,
Nice capture of this rural scenery ! The blue paint of the house adds a nice taste to your compo.
Good chosen portrait format and nice framing.
TFS and have a nice weekend

Bonjour Daniel,
J'ai bien hâte que le printemps arrive cette année. L'hiver fut très dur. J'aime beaucoup ce cadrage vertical tout en verdure. Une belle contre plongée qui donne de l'ampleur.
Hello dear friend
I love the spring in my opinion is one od

I like the upwards point of view on this distinctive blue cabin. Also, the light and colours. Spring has arrived at long last.

Hello Daniel,
what a lovely springtime picture! I like the vertical format in here which influences the whole composition. The fence frames it in very nice way and the blue house catches an eye with its bright color. The tree in the orchard is in full blossom and it has all the fresh spirit of this season.
Thanks for sharing

Hi Daniel,
this is a very attractive spring photo, where you have captured a fantastic mood. The various shades of greens make the overall impression very beautiful and the blossoming tree is a good eye-catcher. The bold perspective is wonderful. My compliments!
Warm regards

Hi Daniel
we have had some warm days here too, although it looks like it cracks up and get cold again this weekend. Nice image to celebrate the arrival though, with lots of warm light and characterful elements in this beautifully rustic shot. Like it a lot!
Have a good weekend - B.

Hello Daniel
that is a masterful composition with perfect balance and superbly handled exposure. fantastic framing with the fence in the foreground and the lovely colours of the old house. the tree reaching all the way to the top symbolizes the advent of spring perfectly.

Beautiful spring composition with the pretty blue house in the flowery meadow. I like it!
Have a nice Week-end my fiend.

Ciao Daniel
la primavera arriva e i fiori colorano le compagne.
Questa foto è di un po' di tempo fa, ma credo che sia molto veritiera rispetto a oggi.
Buon we

Hello Daniel,
a delightful image of the arrival of spring in the countryside. The upward perspective has brought dynamism to the vertical frame, which features simple and enchanting elements. I like how the blue house is surrounded by the graphical fence, the impressive tree, the lovely green and grey tones in an attractive combination. I also like how you played with the light achieving great clarity and atmosphere. Congratulations and thank you!
All the best, have a great weekend,

Hello Daniel
Very well framed scene in a pleasant warm light. The promise of spring lies beautifully in the air. The colors are pleasant and the way the old garden fence leads beautifully up the blue house.
have a great sunday

hello Daniel,
what a nice composition here. I like the blue cottage at middle with that nicely textured tree at back. Great composition. Enjoyed it a lot. Tfs.

Hi Daniel,
beauty of the spring and rural life-superb juxtaposition!
Especially because of so well contrasting details.Greenery vs.blue house provide us with really great graphical effect of the scene.
Have a nice sunday

Hello Daniel,
very good idea to share this spring view with us here on TE. Excellent choice for low pov and very good colors and sharpness. I like your contribution to TE here very much.TFS.
With regards from Luxembourg

I think this is a marvelous composition. the dominatn blue of the house is a bit put to the background, giving the fence, the flowers between it and the light behind it the attention it needs.
Regards, Jan

Hi Daniel,
beautiful composition with the charming blue house. The blooming tree introduces this typical spring touch, it looks great set against the bright sky. Difficult light but perfectly used here to create an outstanding final effect.
Very well seen and captured,

A barrage of goal scoring chances undone by inept finishing left Portugal with an uphill task of making the World Cup. A Liedson goal kept their slim chances alive. For the money, Nicklas Bendtner shows why Adebayor was so expendable. Great trap and shoot.
Stephen Anderson came up with some timely saves till the Liedson goal. Portugal now lie in fourth place, 7 points behind group leaders Denmark. They have two matches against the surprising Magyars in second place and their last match is with bottom dwellers Malta.

The cause of hepatitis C infection is no mystery: The virus is spread by exposure to the blood of someone who already has the disease.
For many years, blood transfusions were the principal causes of hepatitis C transmission. This was before the early 1990s, when not much was known about hepatitis C -- when it was not even named. In 1992, all donated blood began being tested for hep C, essentially eliminating transfusions as a problem.
Today, needle-sharing -- almost always by users of illegal drugs -- tops the list.
Here are the leading causes of hepatitis C infection today:
• Use of needles and other paraphernalia in order to inject illicit drugs.
• Use of contaminated tattoo or body-piercing tools.
• Sharing a toothbrush, razor blade, tweezers, nail clippers and other personal care items with an infected person. (Bleeding gums, for example, could infect toothbrushes, dental floss dispensers.) Some experts extend this warning even to hairbrushes.
• Exposure via work in the medical or law enforcement fields.
• Rough sex, usually involving unprotected anal intercourse.
• Sex with a person who has HIV. Read the latest information on homosexuals and hepatits C, and the HIV-HCV connection.
Having the hep C virus shouldn't have much of an effect on how you go about your day-to-day activities and how you relate to people. According to the Centers for Disease Control's hepatitis unit, you are not in danger of spreading HCV by way of the following activities.
• Hugging, kissing and cuddling
• Coughing or sneezing
• Sharing eating utensils or drinking glasses
• Food or water
• Breast feeding
• Casual contact

We nearly had a man in crisis here. Deadlines, problems," and all kind of #^&* going on. Can't someone get this man a ""hearty"" mug of Yule Punch? or", as Scrooge might say after his transformation, a Christmas Bowl. Time top start the Christmas party early, I think. Start choosing designated drivers now!
A Menagerie of Strings and Things
I hope you realize how much I actually enjoy putting these strings of words, like Christmas lights, together. The possibilities are endless, really. I remember, over Thanksgiving, talking about music with my unmusical uncle. Him saying, "You know, I always wonder why musicians decide to put one note here and one note there. Why did they decide to do it this way, rather than that way?" Good question. One particular musician, writer, artist might have a good answer. I don't. What do I have? As I write this, I have a scruffy guy in dirty jeans crawling in the whiteness above me. He's tugging blue wires, green wires, silver wires, and I don't know what else from one end of the office, through the ceiling, all the way to the other end of the office, and it's making an awful racket. Why? I don't know why, exactly, but I imagine the reason is good.
Those wires need to be up there like this sentence needs a paragraph of its own.
I have pissed-off writers really excellent writers, the kind you like to keep happy totally pissed-off, and for good reasons. I have Products of the Year award presentations to schedule, and you'd think that manufacturers would be happy to accept an award, wouldn't you? I have 5000 e-mails and several red lights flashing, questions and complaints waiting for me in my innocent-looking phone. I have "Letters to the Editor" and "Follow-Up" to proofread. I have an office full of heavy boxes to ship back to their manufacturers, but make no mistake: I have no office. (This is not a cry for one, either. This is just writing.) We have no paper in our printer. I have a lot of stuff to print out. I have a photo shoot to arrange. I have a bunch of other stuff that I'm forgetting right now. I have a bad memory, it seems, but no: It's just not easy to keep three month's worth of work and invoices and life straight, all at once. And what month is this, anyway? I have Christmas presents to buy. And I know you've got all your own shit, too, and you don't have this blog to use as an outlet, as a release, as a vent. What else have I got? I've got friends who are leaving soon.
I've got Bill Withers singing some sexy-ass shit about
If I can't be the one you love,
let me be the one you need.
Take a look into your heart,
and try to find a place for me.
And, last night, I was listening to this Bill Withers "Best of" compilation for the first time in a long time, in some sort of silly attempt....
Hold on. Now, I've got a fire alarm. We've just been asked to line up pleasantly or accordingly or some stupid, unrealistic, adverb like that. When the alarm rings we must line up, and the alarm is ringing now.
Here, I guess, I can make some metaphor about how life doesn't line up pleasantly for any alarm, but:
And, last night, I was listening to this Bill Withers "Best of" compilation for the first time in a long time, in some sort of silly attempt to figure out what type of music my system likes best, what type of music makes my system really sing. I've been having a difficult time with this. Every time I begin to think I have a handle on it, I lose my grip. I second-guess myself. I have visions and re-visions. I can't tell you what type of music my little system likes best.
I can tell you what types of sounds I've had the most fun listening for within an entire piece of music, whatever type of music that may be: percussive sounds drums (duh), tambourines, maracas, and bells, congas, acoustic guitar, and piano.
I wonder if this has something to do with the speakers' designer, John DeVore, being a drummer. Maybe I'm onto something, or maybe I'm full of shit.
I also really enjoy listening to voices. Special voices raspy ones like Tom Waits' or breathy ones like Sam Beam's or ethereal ones like Diane Cluck's or mountainous ones like Jim Teacher's or Thalia Zedek's are all especially fun to listen to. And I think I'm talking about "definition" or "resolution of detail" here. I'm willing to bet that my little system excels in these areas. Give it some decently-recorded, airy music, with all sorts of fun little things going on, and listen as it offers each instrument and sound its own special space.
I've been wondering: Is there some correlation between percussive instruments and voices that would explain my attraction to the two?
Also, while listening to this "Best of" compilation, I found that my little system vested in me certain powers to marry an individual track to its original album. For instance, after listening twice through, I could tell, from the sound of the recording, that "I Want to Spend the Night" came from Menagerie, "Who is He (And What is He to You?)" came from Still Bill, "You Just Can't Smile It Away" came from Watching You Watching Me, and so on. I could never do this with, say, a Magnavox boombox.
My little system also gave me the sense that Feist had been listening to a lot of Menagerie when she recorded Let it Die. And, now, I want to go out and buy Menagerie.
"I like your sweater," she says, out of nowhere.
"Thank you."
"Nonsequitur, I know, but, nevertheless."
This has been an unusually loud, busy, frustrating morning. But, all at once, a lot of little somethings just happened: the Bill Withers CD came to a quiet end; a fax to our Accounts Payable department in Harrisburg, PA, went through successfully; we found some paper for our printer; the awful racket in the ceiling above me was transformed into the lulling and warm sound of air traveling through vents.
There's this one line in Feist's "Let it Die" that goes
The saddest part
of a broken heart
isn't the ending
so much as the start.
That kills me. I just wanted to mention that.
I think I'll tie a knot in this particular string of words right here for no real reason and move on to some other things.
"What's the blog about today?" asks JA.
I like Todds' comment--I really think there's something to it. The idea that these sounds you describe as the most fun to listen to in Hi Fi are also the oldest (human voice, things banging together," etc.) makes a lot of sense. Your reptile brain is simply responding to sounds it recognizes as sounding ""right"" or natural. When everything's good", listening to music can feel that way. A direct connection to the music, with nothing in the way. No gear, no world outside, no overdue bills. I love that.

Discussion in 'The 10 Ring' started by post-apocalyptic, Nov 15, 2011.
Ah, shaddup you sig-line stealin biotch.
Mike Willard died about three weeks ago. The ammo, unfortunately, will not be coming.
And post-apocalyptic, GLOCK TALK doesn't really like profanity, even the misspelled variety.
Thanks guys..
Since he died I'm not sure anyone waiting for orders or refunds will get them. You actually might try a snail mail letter as the person handling his affairs may not have access to his computer email.
Trusting your hard earned dollars to a small ammo maker does have some risks. BTW Kevin (Underwood), how have you been feeling lately?
Good question!
When is the last time you had an ECG? How about a heart stress test? You taking your vitamins? Gotta stay healthy kevin!
Well, I guess it wouldn't hurt to lose 15-20lbs...but other than that, I think I'm doing alright. I'll keep you posted.
Looks like the 200gr XTPs are now available on the website: 40 units in stock, (as of now).
You are on the ball for sure! I check the site last night and it was still back ordered.
I just placed an order for some 200gn and 130gn (and saved on shipping since they will now ship together instead of being backorder and shipped separate)
Now if only Lonewolf would get the stock length and 1/2" over G20 barrels back in stock. (they keep backing up the date)
Wow, I didn't know that. That really sucks, losing a serious contributor to the 10MM community. I ain't worried. It's only a few bucks.
That is a killer sigline. PA, send me a box of Swampfox, and I'll let ya have it back!
I waited what turned out to be too long, (RIP M. Willard), so I never got any Swampfox 10mm. I do have some Underwood though, and I'll be glad to give ya a few rnds real fast, from ~50 yds away.
I don't have a crono(on my list wish list) I can only go by the add. and the way it feels. I have federal 1060fps,miwall 1040, bvac 1200, dt 1250, dt 1305, all 180gr. and the bonded defense is not 1100. I have heard many people say DT is not what it says it is.Never seen or heard of a real test or proof ,just people saying it. If it were true I would be the first to switch.
YouTube...it is true. Has been for years now.
Same price as BVAC but 1100fps,the 1200 from BVAC is closer to my edc ammo. Thanks
check out the 10mm auto facebook page, or look up 10mm chronograph on youtube, a guy on there has chronographed nearly every 10mm load there is. He's also got a compilation of all the loads he tested put together in a spreadsheet...there's your proof!
I was a long time user till I was able to chronograph the ammo myself. Its way under what they claim. I tested 3 of the 10mm offerings, In specifics, I tested the 200 gr WFNGC that DT state will do 1300 fps from stock G20. I averaged 1060 fps 3 rounds were 1040 fps. I emailed the company to ask why and received no reply to several emails. I shot Buffalo Bore and some hand loads that same sesion that all recorded normal numbers. This verified that they LIE and no it!
I now use Buffalo bore or my own hand loads. I will not do another transaction of any kind with Double Tap. I even bought some components to hand load and found them to be wanting in quality. Beartooth makes better hard cast bullets so they have my money now!
Why am I angry, I bought 10mm hard cast ammo designed to defend against animals in the woods. They are advertised at a 10mm specific power capability yet offer 40 s&w power levels. 200gr at 1300fps is 750ft lbs. Move the velocity to 1060 and the energy drops to 499! This is more then just embellishing on the numbers! Glad I am loading my own now. I despise dishonest people that take my money with deception!
Yeah... My opinion is that Mr. McNett should get as many Africa hunts in now as possile because one of these days someone will find a smart enough and willing enough lawyer to cause him some well earned grief.
I used to buy a lot of DT and at one time or another have chronographed most of the 10mm offerings. None have come within 200 fps of advertised. I once asked McNett face to face to respond to his critics on GT. His response was that he was busy enough that it wasn't worth it.
With the Beartooth bullets; Have you noticed weight variances bullet to bullet or do they seem relatively same-same?
Dang!, I already was very unhappy with them. Now I'm more unhappy but try to stay away from pure hatred. Where does that leave me?
I've watched a lot of those video.
Almost everyband overstates there velocity (when shot out of a Glock 20)
I only know of two that match or beat what they claim: Underwood, and Swampfox.
Those that doen't include:
Double Tap
Buffalo Bore

New Jersey Weather Heats Up: Alan's Weather Blog
Most high temperatures yesterday reached the middle 80's, but in Newark it managed to get up to 89. Today we'll do one better. It will be in the lower 90's, in fact Newark may have a shot of 95. There's just the chance of a thunderstorm late today in Northwest counties. It will be mostly sunny, hot and humid all day.
Clear skies and humid tonight, mostly in the 70's.
Tomorrow it will be in the 80's, with some sun and clouds. There's also a good chance of a shower or thunderstorm.
It will be partly sunny and less humid after the chance of an early Friday shower. Temperatures will be in the low 70's.
A cool and pleasant weekend is in store for us, with temperatures in the low 70's on Saturday and mid to upper 70's on Sunday.
Gabrielle is near Bermuda, and will be turning Northwest and then North and Northeast, but there's enough of a concern to make the ocean swells increase.

In a mood more anti-Obama than pro-Romney, Idaho Republicans are hammering out their 2012 platform this weekend at their annual state convention, being held on the campus of the College of Southern Idaho in Twin Falls.
"We're engaged in a battle for the heart and soul of the American people," Idaho's junior U.S. Sen. Jim Risch said Friday. "And I'm convinced that this November's race for the White House will come down to three states: Ohio, Pennsylvania and Florida. If you can tell me who wins two of those three states, I can tell you who will win the White House. We can win Florida. We'll probably lose Pennsylvania. I think it comes down to a knock-down, drag-out fight in Ohio."
Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Luna teamed with up with Idaho First Lady Lori Otter to tout the so-called "Luna Laws," which are being challenged in three referenda on the November ballot, but Luna was quick to share the credit for the reforms.
"These laws are not the work of Tom Luna," he said. "I want to thank Gov. [C.L. "Butch"] Otter and all of the Republican legislators here today that helped make them a reality."
Luna said the reforms were the only path to turn what he called "good" Idaho schools into "great" schools.
"I tell people that I'm comfortable with a good marriage, but my wife wants a great marriage," said Luna. "And that transfers to other parts of our lives. We need greatness."
In particular, Luna targeted Idaho teacher unions for launching formal opposition to the changes.
"The union doesn't like this because the money doesn't sift through their fingers during collective bargaining," said Luna.
Luna said papers had been filed with the Idaho Secretary of State's office, laying the ground work for a formal political action committee, designed to advocate for the Luna Laws.

Frank, They are in the British Library,If you want to search the indexes, first go to the National Archives website http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/ and search for say 'St Helena muster' and then click on the link. It will direct you to the British Library site. The musters are in bound volumes indexed under IOR/L/MIL/13/1-14 eg from 1789 to 1859. The early ones just give Company, name and rank but after 1813 they also give the name of the ship they arrives on, where they came from, previous occupation, age.

The same way I think we have a tendency to perceive our feeling as being about neutral when we are confortable, negative when we feel more suffering and positif when we feel less suffering. — Raphi
On the surface, it seems implausible that a consciousness could only experience different variation of suffering, but you have to take for account that our brain is also, according to me, really good to entertain illusions, making itself believe that life is more than just suffering. — Raphi
But the same way temperature is just about the presence of energy, I think our feeling is just about the presence of suffering. The way you formulate it, it almost look like your perception of pleasure rely on faith more than reasonning, but I might be wrong. — Raphi
Evolution by natural selection explains practically every characteristic associated with living things. — Raphi
it makes consciousness experience a feeling that has the main characteristic to be unpleasant. — Raphi
Well, my perception is far from over simplifying human experiences, and I don't deny that people live what they call independently-good experiences. (I just dont see them that way) In my perception, suffering manifest itself under many different forms, (all the possible feelings people would call negative), and the feelings people call positive would be explained by some periods of time where those forms of suffering would be less intense than normally. I don't understand why the presence of chemicals in the brain would refute my hypothesis. Can't these chemicals be the ones that makes you "forget" certains needs during a certain amount of time, which would fit nicely with what I say? — Raphi
Can you just give one example or two of such features please ? I don't doubt that they exist if you say so, but I am not aware of their existence. If there is indeed such features, then that premise is wrong, but I put it there just as an explanation of how the features I was talking about came to be. So I don't think it would affect the rest of my reasonning. (I don't imply that you thought so) — Raphi
bout the "unpleasant" feeling, I understand very well what you say, but I feel like everyone misinterpreted my hypothesis. I don't think that people are constantly conscious of their suffering, — Raphi
I wouldn't say that suffering can obtain if it's not a present-to-consciousness state. — Terrapin Station
Don't you think evolution by natural selection is better described by "change within a species leading towards better survival and reproduction mechanisms" (or something like that). That definition seem way more appropriate considering what we know about it as educated beings. In that way, the fact that the organism is suffering is not a factor forcing change. It can affect it, but it is not mandatory. — Raphi
"I don't think people understand that what they are experiencing is always some sort of suffering, — Raphi
Get involved in philosophical discussions about knowledge, truth, language, consciousness, science, politics, religion, logic and mathematics, art, history, and lots more. No ads, no clutter, and very little agreement — just fascinating conversations.

Power Delivery for Platforms with Embedded Intel Atom Processors
High performance-low power Intel Atom processors are being designed into a wide range of embedded applications that would not be practicable with mobile, desktop or server CPUs. While many Intel Atom processor power supply requirements have a lineage that trace back to more conventional mobile and desktop processors, there are differences due not only to the reduced operating current, but also the high levels of integration. This paper explains what is required to deliver power to embedded platforms with Intel Atom processors. The significance of the Intel mobile voltage position specification is explained as well as the roles of the system management controller and power management integrated circuits.
