Acronym for million instructions per second. A old measure of a computer's speed and power, MIPS measures roughly the number of machine instructions that a computer can execute in one second. However, different instructions require more or less time than others, and there is no standard method for measuring MIPS. In addition, MIPS refers only to the CPU speed, whereas real applications are generally limited by other factors, such as I/O speed. A machine with a high MIPS rating, therefore, might not run a particular application any faster than a machine with a low MIPS rating. For all these reasons, MIPS ratings are not used often anymore. In fact, some people jokingly claim that MIPS really stands for Meaningless Indicator of Performance.
Despite these problems, a MIPS rating can give you a general idea of a computer's speed. The IBM PC/XT computer, for example, is rated at ¼ MIPS, while Pentium-based PCsrun at over 100 MIPS.

"Nice and Smooth"
Unlike the other smaller cigras the Punch seems to deliver in quality an most of all aroma and taste. A Must to all new and seasoned smokers.Joe DLUX in Yonkers, NY December 6, 2004
"Nice and Smooth"
Unlike the other smaller cigras the Punch seems to deliver in quality an most of all aroma and taste. Recommed to all new and seasoned smokers.Joe DLUX in Yonker, Ny December 6, 2004
"My favorite smoke"
This is my favorite smoke. Slow even burning with gobs of white smoke. I love the figurado shape. I will light one up and it will burn for over an hour. A mediun to strong flavor. I highly recomend this cigarGerard Venlet in Michigan November 23, 2004
"A quality smoke for not a lot of money"
Tried my first one just recently and was pleasantly impressed. Good firm white ash. If smoked slowly you will enjoy a very good relaxing smoke. Great Construction.Mark in Greer, South Carolina October 20, 2004
"Always the same great smoke!"
Never a problem. Same good friend as ever. Always there when I need a lift.GRH Anderson in September 20, 2004
"Great cigar, some quality issues though"
I love the Champion! It's got a great taste and smokes well, but i've had problems with canoeing and a few hard to draw types as well.Tony in Melbourne, FL July 14, 2003
"The best cigar I ever smoked"
A rich earthy chocolate favor and cedar aroma. This is a great medium body cigar just to my likely. The draw was excellent and with a shape that is perfectly balanced in your hand. I will definitely be keeping these cigars in my humidor.Foy Sperring in Bay Shore, Long Island May 23, 2003
"2 hours of dynamite in a short round"
I bought four from a local store (at the usual California twice the price routine)... the purveyor said I would be pleasantly surprised. These gems are fabulous, good draw, slow burn, great long ash and not a runner in the bunch, perfect construction and 2 full hours on a 4 1/2 inch stick. About the only problem is they burn so slow you may have to relight a couple of times during your smoke... 2 hours of dynamite PACKED IN A POWERFULL short round!MACOOK in LA, Caifornia December 15, 2002
"Give it some time"
A powerful little knockout of a cigar. First few draws can be a little bitter, found a few months in the humidor eliminates that. Overall a great smoke if you prefer a heavy Honduran.Dr. Turd in Shoreline,CT June 19, 2002
"Smokes much better than the price suggests"
I saw this cigar rated in Smoke Magazine, which gave it a very high mark. When I noticed it on sale at Famous-Smoke I had to give it a try and was not dissapointed. The construction and appearance were excellent and the taste was full and smooth. It burned very nicely but the draw was just a bit firmer than I like...but not a distraction. The consistency from one cigar to the next has been excellent and although it is a small cigar it burns nice and slow. This is a must buy cigar and I will definitely get more when I go through this box.Jeff Kilgo in Spotsylvania, VA February 4, 2002

The Texas Rangers are fighting for a while card berth. They're playing the Los Angeles Angels and need to win the game but they could use some help from some other American League teams. The Minnesota Twins are playing the Cleveland Indians and the Toronto Blue Jays are playing the Tampa Bay Rays. The Rangers could really benefit from the Indians or Blue Jays losing.
The advantage for the Rangers? They're the only team of the three potential Wild Card teams playing at home. The Rangers aren't ok with just the home-field advantage they have in today's game, they have been texting former teammates on those teams to enlist some extra help in their Wild Card quest.
From ESPN Dallas:
That includes a few players texting motivational messages for former teammates or managers with a few teams who could impact the Rangers' hopes.
Closer Joe Nathan, who spent most of his career with the Twins, said he texted Minnesota skipper Ron Gardenhire to ask for help as the Twins play the Cleveland Indians this weekend. He said he wrote: 'Let's rally the troops. Let's go.'
Reliever Jason Frasor played 8 seasons in Toronto and has been texting his former teammates as well.
Right now the Indians are sitting at 91-70, while the Rangers and Rays are tied at 90-70. If that remained the situation at the end of the season, the Rangers and Rays would play a one-game playoff to determine who played the Indians in the one-game Wild Card round.
Football will take most of the attention off of baseball, but it will be a crazy day in the American League.

The Tour day Schmalz returns this year for its seventh installment. It's an unfair and cruel look at the hardworking professionals of the pro peloton, and I guarantee that I will eventually make fun of your favorite rider. I even make fun of my own favorite riders, this just goes to show that life is, of course cruelly unfair, but you already knew that because Justin Bieber controls the entertainment world. But that's enough about barely pubescent pop stars, lets get to the business of discussing other body-hair-deficient men, shall we?
If you want the quick and dirty preview of this year's Tour de France it is as follows: Bradley Wiggins and Cadel Evans are the favorites and the Tour will essentially come down to who can most effectively avoid the most flying Spaniards in the hectic stages of the first week of the Tour (I'm looking at you, Euskaltel—you crash a lot—you know it's true).
A more nuanced analysis would tell you that this year's Tour has 96.1 kilometers of ITT (including the 6.1 prologue)—last year's Tour had only 42.5 kilometers of ITT, not including the 23 kilometers of team time trial that Euskaltel used to crush Sammy Sanchez's GC chances—so this year's Tour will favor a rider who can stay close in the mountains and make up time in the time trials. And that long and convoluted sentence serves to announce the death of Fränk Schleck's Tour hopes for this year. Thanks for coming Fränk, see you next year!
Coming into this Tour we have Bradley Wiggins on a tear with wins at Paris-Nice, the Tour de Romandie, and the Critérium du Dauphiné. Cadel won the Critérium International way back in the spring and was third at the Critérium du Dauphiné, which along with the Tour de Suisse, serves as a turbo trainer for racers to warm up on before the Tour. You could argue that Wiggo is coming in to form too early, but he has all of the science-ness of Team Sky (and their theme song) behind him. Cadel finished third at the Dauphiné this year, but he may have been playing his cards close to his chest. He podium-ed at the Dauphiné last year, and could be on target to have the same form again this year.
The GC Contenders
Cadel Evans
Let me start by saying that anyone's who's followed bikes for more than five years is still freaked out about how weird it sounds to describe Cadel as a savvy tactician who can dominate a race. It's just inconceivable. Five years ago, Cadel was written off as a timid wheel-follower who wouldn't attack and who descended like a pensioner on a balance board. But after he won the rainbow jersey, he transformed into a tenacious competitor who timed his attacks well and could grittily hang on and claw back time when he was attacked by better climbers. In 2007, I would've put better odds on dogs learning Esperanto than on Cadel turning into a calculating, winning machine, but he's done just that—and to Cadel I say, "Well done." and "No, I did not step on your dog."
And as opposed to last year, Cadel won't have to beg to have his team support him this year. There's no Thor SMASHing to contend with—BMC is all about Cadel this year. There's no sprinter taking up a spot that could be saved for someone who could help Cadel out, unlike...
Bradley Wiggins
Wiggo is essentially down two riders to Cadel with the inclusion of Mark Cavendish and Bernard Eisel. In the early stages, Sky will be putting their team at the front to help Cav wins stages against the likes of Sagan and Greipel while Cadel will be floating along in those stages in a red cloud of teammates whose only job will be to provide a soft spot for him to land on lest he get tangled up with a (not Oscar, he can ride his bike) Spaniard. This early stage hunting could serve to wear out the Sky riders for later in the race, when they might want to, you know, win the Tour.
If Cadel can gain time on Wiggo in the mountains, that could potentially offset any time he'd lose to Wiggo in the time trials. And if Wiggo is left isolated because Froome was busy heading the leadout train in the early stages while Cadel has Tejay setting the pace in the mountains, look for the slap fight of the century later at the Team Sky bus between Wiggo and Cav. Personally, I hoping they fight whilst the Sky Team Theme song is playing.
Vincenzo Nibali
Back in early May, Nibali decided to announce that he wasn't going to be riding for Liquigas-Cannondale anymore (telling them, "It's not you, it's me."), and as new team announcements go, this one was a bit early, like 4 months too early. And he hasn't named which team he will be going to, mind you, he just knows that it will be "not Liquigas-Cannondale". This does not bode well for a guy who will want some help from his teammates in the Tour.
Nibali's situation is akin to that of a gal waiting in line outside a night club who ditches her friends, chats up the bouncer to get in and giggles to her friends, "I'll see you inside!" I am sure that things at the Tour won't be in the least bit awkward at all, especially when Nibali's hotel room is filled with potential suitors that are trying to sign him for the entire race.
If Nibali can survive the "Private Pyle Full Metal Jacket" midnight visits from his teammates, he can do well at the Tour, but his urine filled water bottles may put a damper on his chances.
Fränk Schleck
The good news is that Fränk won't have to worry about looking around for Andy during the race. The bad news is that he'll be searching at 6th place—and he'll lose so much time in the time trials that he'll finish in 2008.
I guess it's my duty as an American to mention that Levi Leipheimer will be riding the Tour, it's also my duty as a person with a frontal lobe and an operating memory to mention that Levi only wins races that are about a week long. The Tour is three weeks long, and the math says Levi will be dirty dancing with fifth place.
Chris Horner
Horner got ca-bonged out of last year's race, and he almost didn't make this year's team. If I were to be generous, I'd describe the situation at Radio Shack as a tire fire in hell's junkyard. The only way Horner becomes the Radio Shack team leader is if Fränk gets sick of trying and if Klöden gets kidnapped. Horner is probably Radio Shack's plan C, but he's his own Plan A, so the first few mountain days will be interesting to say the least.
Robert Gesink
Gesink could really surprise at this year's Tour, but somehow he always finds a way to forget to race during one of the stages of a three week race. This tends to make him do things like finish 6th. Gesink won the Tour of California, but nobody noticed because Sagan won five of the eight stages there. Gesink's time trialing isn't disastrous though, so he could put in an attack in the mountains and potentially catapult himself onto the podium.
Denis Menchov
Menchov will race. He will finish somewhere in the top ten. No one will care. Menchov is the Moody Blues of bikes.
Andreas Klöden
You can't spell Klöden without öld.
Thomas Voeckler
Voeckler's dropped out of two races so far this season with knee issues. He's basically been included in Europcar's Tour roster due to his stifling Frenchness, because Rolland will likely have a better Tour than Voeckler. But that doesn't mean that France won't obsess over Voeckler, his knee will be watched as karefully in France as Kim Kardashian's keyster. But unlike last year, he won't have the benefit of the element of surprise, and won't get as much leeway if he attacks. If his knee is still attached by the third week of the Tour, watch for him to get into a break and put on the "Voeckler Show", but his odds at hitting the top ten are very slim.
Ryder Hesjesdal
Can Ryder win the Giro and the Tour? I really doubt it, as the last Tour/Giro double winner was Marco Pantani in 1998, when he was racing with blood so thick he could've used it for mortar to build a a nice brick pirate ship. Plus, it's time for him to pay back VDV for his help in the Giro, which brings me to…
Can VDV win the Tour?
Why the hell not? There's lots of TT kilometers and he can hang in the mountains, it will take some luck, but anything can happen. And I will try to not jinx anything here by mentioning the words "VDV" and "crash" in the same sentence.
The sprinters
The most exciting race this year could potentially be between Sagan and Cavendish in the sprints. Sagan has been handily winning this year, and Cav is showing good form also (although he's allegedly losing weight so he can do well at the Olympics), and I can't wait to see what happens when they go head to head. I realize that there's other sprinters that will be at the Tour this year (Kittel gets his first start this year for instance), but I can't see any of the other sprinters beating Cav or Sagan without help from Spain and gravity.
Side Stories
Daniel Oss
Never in the history of bike racing has there been a celebration wingman like Daniel Oss. No one parties in the back after the business up front like Oss, and if Sagan wins at the Tour, look for something special from Oss. I've heard he's hired a falconer.
Johnny Hoogerland
Johnny Hoogerland has become the patron saint of epic slo-mo replays with his VIP-vehicle induced cartwheel into the barbed wire fence from last year, but there were a lot of us who were into Hoogie before he went mainstream. Old school Hoogie fans will hoping for some classic attacks from 1,000k out at this year's Tour.
Sandy Casar and Jérémy Roy
I don't think there was anyone off the front for more kilometers last year than Casar and Roy. Watch for them to French the front of the race all Tour long.
The Polka Dot Jersey
The poor polka dot jersey, it's like an emo band's long forgotten myspace page, it just sits there, waiting for someone to care. Someone (probably French) will do the math about halfway through the race and will try to win the jersey, but barely anyone will remember who won the jersey after the Tour's over.
A final request
I am begging, as a person who cannot abide watching time trials, that the Tour consider using my idea of time staggered handicap starts for the final time trial in the Tour. The idea is simple, take the top 20 riders (let the rest of the guys just do a normal time trial—or none at all—take the day off Fränk!) and start them off according to their time gaps. The leader in the GC goes first and if anyone catches him before the line—they win the Tour. Who wouldn't watch this? Of course, there would be no drafting allowed, and with twenty guys it wouldn't be that hard to police. We need this to happen. And if the Tour won't do it, I'm taking my idea to the Vuelta, because they'll try anything, in fact, I'm pretty sure I could get them to eat a bug if I gave them a dollar.

Where is the daily schmalz summary of the Tour de France stages? They were better than the actual races (in some instances)!
That final request idea is brilliant. By now, you must know people in high places to slide that one in somewhere in some meeting.
Re: Cadel in the past. Could it be that he could only follow wheels in the past because he was one of the only clean riders (or do we assume as much) to crack the top 10? There were some years he couldn't make it to the tour because of broken bones, then had one year of non-selection on Telekom. Then, he had Armstrong, Landis, Contador, and Sastre, Contador x 2 in front of him (and we all can assume what Sastre was on in that last TT).
...-on analysis of the contenders, i mean...
...your tt idea makes a ton of sense...prob'ly never be used just for that reason...
...instead we get yellow helmets on the lead team...for bragging rights ???..."hey, my team wore the 'casque jaune' for 10 days at le tour de france !!!"...
..."meh, no big, dude..."
...with love (& hope that ryder podiums), bgw...
I can't believe you've gone all gooey on Cadel.
you can't spell Klodi without Oldi. Great
With all of these TT kilometers do you think Dave Zabriskie will place higher than usual? He seems to get lost in the mix on non TT stages.

Questions - email@example.com
Kind of like Rocky Balboa Vs Mason Dixon
I think that Lance will ride strong in this year's tour, but it will be Andy Schleck that takes the yellow. Lance is getting old and not what he used to be.
I think that Tommy Simpson has a better chance this year than Tommy Danielson...
Will he be Radio Shack's team leader?
Not sure I get the title graphic: the heads of the contenders mixed together with the results of a 'de-meating' session?
Tom Danielson will never win the tour. Let's be realistic here
Is EFFING brilliant. I would totally watch that Schmalz!
you really dont have any super climbers this year. All diesel engine times. This is why I think Tommy D or any of the Garmin guys could win this thing. I really think it will be a boring tour of the GC guys just grinding up the hills together and then letting the TT decide it. You will have fun days with non-GC guys blowing things up but the top 10 will just ride up together.
Maybe a guy like Sanchez could do it but he is not explosive enough on the long climbs. I am waiting for Cancellera to drop 15 lbs and win this thing....
Will Tommy D break a new personal best Strava segment during the tour?
Assume the usual candidates will have their strong ITT and then watch the last hour to see how the leaders shake out. I'd rather watch a full day in the mountains, too, but don't mind the truthiness reflected in the result.
One TT only. They are excruciating to watch, and even worse for their weight towards the GC. I'd rather watch a CX or even a MTB stage.
Garmin's issues are compiled by another potential podium candidate. All three seem nice enough to follow the others despite ambitions, but who's to say it isn't Tommy D having his water carried by stage 10?
Well done Blue Ribbon, well done.
I actually think he will podium this year,. The route seems to favor him a bit. I see a new winner this year with Cadel and Basso on the podium. My prediction is that Tommy D wins this thing... Flame away
Nibali will become the first rider in modern tour history to switch teams during the race. He may even switch twice.
Johan Bruyneel will fall asleep on his sofa while watching the Tour and suddenly wake up and yell, "Did I finish? Did I finish?"
Chris Horner will win. Not the Tour, but the Save-A-Limb Century on Saturday, Oct. 20, at Oregon Ridge Park in Cockeysville, MD. www.SaveALimbRide.com. Cycling history fans will note that Floyd Landis won the SaveALimb after his Tour (ahem) victory.
I disagree, he was really spooked after he broke his collarbone, and his descending suffered.
One correction: He may have been a bit timid going uphill, but Cadel was always a bad-ass descender.
I think that sounds awesome. They do that in Nordic Combined and XC skiing events. The finish of the Tour de Ski (stage racing is still new to skiing) is a hill climb where the racer's are started at intervals equal to their time gaps and the finish is so much more exciting.
Not a joke at all, I am dead serious about that.
Not sure if you are joking but I am into that top 20 TT idea. Would be REALLY fun to watch
These guys are still racing?
I predict Lance will not finish the Tours from 1999-2005
Spot on analysis... What no Lance on the list?
You know that old box of bike parts you've put in your closet?

This site addresses and debunks the various predictions of doom and disaster people have made for 2012.
People are considering suicide because they've been told by "reliable" sources like the so-called History Channel that 2012 will be the end. Children are living in perpetual terror because they've been told the world is going to end soon. NO CHILD should be put through that kind of terror. I know; I've been through it myself. The "best years of my life" were spoiled by people who told me that doomsday was coming and I probably wasn't going to survive to see adulthood. I believe this has permanently impacted my life because I didn't study as hard as I should have because I believed the world was going to end soon and it didn't matter anyway.
THE WORLD ISN'T GOING TO END IN 2012. The "proofs" that proponents of doom and disaster are offering are almost IDENTICAL the to the "proofs" they used when they predicted that Nibiru was going to bring doomsday in May of 2003. Alleged ancient predictions. Anomalies in the sky. Nostradamus. The Revelation. You see, these people can't just let a prediction fail. When it doesn't happen the first time, they just recycle their old materials and set a new date. Read this old article for yourself. It's exactly the same as what doomsayers are predicting for 2012, only with Sumerians instead of Mayans.
UPDATE: A mother who believed the Tribulation was nigh tried to kill herself and her two daughters. The cause of her fear isn't 2012, but it does show just how far people will go when they believe things like this.

4th Clean Cities Coalitions
To support regional economic development opportunities, diversify fuel supplies and create a healthier environment, transportation solutions are addressed at a local and regional level. The NC Clean Energy Technology Center is organizing a fourth coalition to serve areas not currently represented by the existing three North Carolina Clean Cities Coalitions. Visit our meetings page [link to cleantransportation/meetings] to learn about upcoming opportunities to get involved. Fleet managers, fuel and technology providers, environmental groups, non-profit organizations, and concerned individuals are encouraged to participate in quarterly working group meetings to share ideas, develop a plan, network, and investigate issues and opportunities to expand clean transportation technologies. Clean Cities Coalition partners benefit from emission reducing transportation strategies, gain assistance with evaluating their transportation footprint, and create connections to alternative fuel and technology vendors in North Carolina.
There are two major steps to forming a Clean Cities Coalition:
1. Complete a Fleet/Vehicle Survey which gives the group of partners a snapshot of current vehicle and fuel use, and
2. Develop a 5-year plan/strategy to reduce emissions.
Examples of some efforts that could come out of plan/strategy development:
- Reduce fuel use and emissions through conservation policies and activities: idle reduction policy, car pooling, sizing vehicles, etc.
- Diversify fuel sources by displacing petroleum with the use of biofuels, electricity, natural gas and/or propane.
- Use advanced emission-reduction technologies: diesel retrofits, truck-stop electrification, and hybrids.
- Develop organizational policies to ensure expanded use of alternative fuels and advanced transportation technologies to strengthen local economies and improve air quality.
To get involved, call (919) 513-7831, or email email@example.com.

I don't know Nets owner Mikhail Prokhorov, but I have to think he is being insulted when it's floated that he wants
I don't know Nets owner Mikhail Prokhorov, but I have to think he is being insulted when it's floated that he wants
to hire "a big name" and that explains why he might pursue Kentucky's John Calipari. I give you that Calipari is a big name in basketball, but I have to think Prokhorov is slightly more discerning than that when it comes to winning a title, which is his stated goal. There's no question Cal has an eye for talent and a gift for acquiring it; but when I look at how that talent has by and large performed at the NBA level, I have to wonder why anyone would still think he's capable of being an championship-caliber NBA coach. I do know Prokhorov was genuinely interested in Phil Jackson; the idea that he might consider Calipari as a worthwhile fallback option seems absurd. I appreciate how Calipari has evolved as a coach, overall; he's grown measurably since his days at Memphis. But there's no basis to believe that he could take what the Nets have and make it appreciably better than it is right now.

"Excellent! I have NEVER pickled anything in my life, but I really wanted to try it and this was an excellent recipe to do it with.

I put ..."

Mad Max. There, that tells you everything you need to know about the Yamaha VMX1200 V-Max, an ill-handling, raw powered Rottweiller of a motorcycle. The full power 140bhp model is the only one worth having, so skip the early 90s UK spec models with a feeble 95bhp.

The Gas Gas Pampera 250 MK III is one of the great trail motorcycles of modern times. It's particularly suitable for shorties and more inexperienced riders, thanks to its combination of easy manners and low seat height (for a trail bike).

The BMW R1200C is a Harley-Davidson rival with German engineering. Like most cruisers, it sells on looks – this one had a part in a Bond movie too. Power is pretty modest considering the 1200cc engine but it's enough. Dynamically it's better than many cruisers thanks to quality engineering and light(ish) weight.

Mar 19th 2008 7:45PM Every class is gear dependent. The difference in the case of paladins is that the paladin's baseline abilities are so underpowered that they need large amounts of gear (and be spec'd into the role to be filled) to even be viable, and once that is the case, they are still underpowered by the same offset, it is just less apparent. Gear is only mitigation against broken class mechanics. For paladins it very difficult to fill any "hybrid" role because they are so dependent on gear and spec to fill any one role well, except in the case of trivial content for their overall level of gearing.

Moving is so friggin tiring, spent all day going through drawers and sorting shit into three categories: Taking with me, Goodwill, and Get rid of it. found many things I haven't seen in AGES and got rid of so many items too… This is sure going to be interesting :P
On the other hand I'm like 99% done with that guitar that i took apart freshman year to repaint it, and never finished. So I'll post photos once I'm done with it but it looks pretty good :)

I previously promised some process sketches of my recent portfolio revamp. Here you go!
I also planned to write a post-mortem. Feeling a bit not into that lately. The short-story is, lots of iteration. Lots of cutting away to the core. Conviction in pushing the format. It would be easier to fire up a CMS and call it a day, but again, I decided to try something else and saw it through (with some struggle no less!).
During my flight back from Los Angeles today, the stranger in the center seat chatted me about Sociallist. (The dear side project I won't shut up about; I was drawing frames during that terrible few minutes of no electronics ;)
He loved the idea and pitched one of his own to me: a vinyl app. Intriguing…
The best part? Turns out he wasn't an ideas guy, but simply a guy who's been traveling the world for the last decade enroute to Yosemite National Park. Has no stake in this industry.
It was clear he had a great grasp of the vinyl world (for the record, I know nothing about vinyl, pun intended) since it was enough to get me to sketch up his thoughts.
That was refreshing. The 1:25 flight passed very quickly as a result. A conversation between strangers who came from different worlds united by an inkling of wanting to create. No ulterior motives aside from a fleeting connection.
I parted with knowledge of his whereabouts for the summer and he parted with my sketch.
A handful of more sharpie sketches of various projects I'm thinking about: sociallist and a future portal page, susanl.in. I pulled the trigger for the .in domain when I learned the awesome namecheap offered it for $2.78 the first year, so cheap!
We'll show you the real thing once it's ready. Ah, speaking of which, I should set aside a teeny bit of time to clean-up the sociallist blog design.

A belated post on a project I did last year @ Vast.
(No trade secrets here, so go away competitors.)
I had the opportunity to work on a then secret project to put everyone's mug on a mug. Now the SF team has their name on a mug, but better. (Though I guess nothing stops you from using someone else's.. but that's awkward.)
All-in-all: a nice swag project to kick-off as a (then) new hire. Putting those double-tipped sharpie sketch skills to use. Also, it was a month of illustrating lots of facial hair. I don't think I've drawn that many beards before in my life.

Lynny Lenses (similar to Lensbabies) removed from Sale by Maker for Legal Reasons
Lynny Lenses, a maker of selective focus lenses in the product category occupied by Lensbabies decided to pull all their products from sale due to legal reasons. A brief statement on their website (page down below the giant picture) is as close to admission that they CTRL-C/CTRL-V Lensbabies:
"No longer will products rise based on the inspiration of others, rather it will be that they rise from the ideas of myself, completely new, unique, and original."
Duh! But Lynny Lenses are not done! They are working on their own unique designs and they have a page with progress bars. (via ePhotozine).
ePhotozine had the pleasure and unfortunate timing of reviewing these, but on the plus side, they now become an internet history archive type of thing. Here is their review of the Lynny Lens and here is a comparison review between the Lynny Lens and the Lensbaby Spark. I highly recommend looking at the comparison samples at ePhotozine, we rarely see comparison picture samples that can be evaluated with your eyes nearly closed :)

The Weirdest Day Of Movies Ever! Moriarty Reviews POWERPUFF GIRLS And ICHI THE KILLER!
Hey, everyone. "Moriarty" here with some Rumblings From The Lab.
Okay. First things first. Fair warning. If you got linked here from some POWERPUFF GIRLS website, looking for a review of only that film, let me tell you now... I'm going to be talking about two movies in this review, and the other one is about as far from a Cartoon Network production as is possible. I'll try and give you a signal before I shift into my comments on the second film, and when I do... run. Don't walk. And don't look back.
Anyone who still has trouble understanding why Harry and I spend time setting a review in context need only look at a day like Saturday to understand how important that is to understand how a reviewer reacts to something. My movie viewing day started the night before, in a way, when I got a mysterious call. "Hello... is this Moriarty?"
I'm used to mysterious calls. It's to be expected at this point, quite frankly. "Yes. It is. Can I help you?"
"How would you like tickets for tomorrow morning to the POWERPUFF GIRLS premiere?" I looked at the clock. It was about 3:30 in the morning. Again, I'm somewhat used to this, considering the bizarre office hours I keep.
"What time is it?"
"11:00. I'll drop the tickets off tomorrow morning. Just tell me where."
I described the location of the Labs to the mysterious caller, telling him where to turn north from Franklin and explaining where the secret entrance to the Labs is, right there on the street under Kevin Smith's new house. It was more fun to spy when it was Affleck's party house. Smith's such a family man. But I digress. The next morning, when I woke up, the tickets were waiting in an envelope, and I headed out for Century City.
The red carpet outside the premiere was surreal. It's a good thing I'm too old to do any drugs harder than Metamucil, because I would have had a full-on Hunter S. Thompson moment at the sight of the hundreds of little kids running in every direction and the giant full-size Powerpuff Girls costumed characters wandering around and posing for photos with the kids. I sort of ricocheted off Tom Kinney, who does the voices of The Mayor and The Narrator for the show and the movie, and all I could think was, "Holy cow, that's Binky The Clown!" Binky Fever... catch it! Then a giant costumed Mojo Jojo almost knocked me down, and I realized that I was like Godzilla in downtown Tokyo, hopelessly out of scale, a hazard to most of the people on the carpet. I ducked through the metal detectors, grabbed one of the drinks (mmmm... watered-down small Sprites for everyone!), and found a seat. They were giving away swag everywhere you turned, but it was all kid-oriented... little hats and bags with toys and cookies shaped like the characters. There was a host onstage in the front of the theater, teaching the kids dances and songs and doing contests to give away even more swag, and I swear I don't think that guy took a breath once the entire morning. It was hard not to smile at the sheer manic energy of the whole thing. The kids were genuinely excited to be seeing this particular film, and I couldn't help but flash on the crowd at the Chinese two weeks earlier for the SCOOBY-DOO premiere. Same company, AOL/Time-Warner, also a big kid's premiere, with tons of kids in attendance. The energy was totally different, though. The kids at SCOOBY weren't interested in the film. There was a group of girls in front of us who couldn't have been older than nine, all of them already bored and cynical about the entire premiere experience, more worried about what "Freddy and Sarah" were wearing than about the film itself. It was funny and sad in equal measure. I didn't detect even a bit of that in the pre-POWERPUFF audience, though. Those kids were there to have a good time.
And, once the lights went down, they did. There's a special new DEXTER'S LABORATORY cartoon in front of the feature, and it's a pleasant enough little short. I like Genndy Tartakovsky a lot (saw him settling into a seat a few rows in front of mine just before the lights went down), and I think he's one of the best guys out there at pure cartoons right now. Still, I'm not familiar with DEXTER, really, and it seemed to be a long way to go for a fairly benign payoff at the end.
No worries, though. As soon as the short was over, the Warner Bros. logo came up, followed by the new Cartoon Network movies logo (as sweet and specific in its own way as the new Marvel Films logo I love so much), and then we're off. It's an 87 minute movie, and it never stops to take a breath. The opening credits show Professor Utonium (voiced by Tom Kane) in his lab, at work, while a monkey rampages around the lab. Anyone familiar with the show knows what's coming, but if you don't, you can just sit back and let director Craig McCracken do his job. This is, in its own way, a superhero movie, and it knows the form quite well. It's an origin story, but it's also an arch-enemy story. The first half of the film details the creation of the Powerpuff Girls and their gradual acclimation to their superpowers. The second half of the film sees them go head to head with Mojo Jojo (voiced by Roger L. Jackson), their greatest enemy.
It's pretty much just that simple. The girls are created, and they're each given names appropriate to their personalities: Blossom (Catherine Cavadini), "because she is so open, so curious, so ready to ask questions"; Bubbles (Tara Strong), "because of her bubbly laugh"; and the appealingly grouchy Buttercup (E.G. Daily), "because that name ALSO starts with a B." Professor Utonium is prepared to raise them as his own, as normal little girls, never realizing what Chemical X has done to them. The film's biggest and best sequence involves an innocent game of tag on the playground of their elementary school that turns into a full-blown discovery of their powers that almost levels Townsville. There's a real joy of animation and storytelling in this sequence, and it's beautiful in a hyper-stylized way. The girls are outcasts because of the innocent destruction they wreak upon the city, and the Professor is arrested. Just when things are at their worst, a mysterious friend shows up, a familiar monkey with an enormous exposed brain. What the girls don't realize is that they're being used for a plan that will see every human being in Townsville under the control of a race of super-intelligent monkeys, all of them under the command of Mojo Jojo, also created in the explosion that made them who they are.
And, yes, all of this is just as silly onscreen as it sounds here. That's part of the appeal.
There are moments of glorious, sublime silliness here. Personally, I love it when Mojo Jojo uses Chemical X and a machine built by the Powerpuff Girls (see the film for the explanation) to transform all the monkeys and apes in Townsville into super-intelligent apes like himself, intent on commanding them as an army, only to have each of them declare themselves the leader, with wars breaking out between each maniacal monkey despot and no one paying even the slightest hint of attention to Mojo Jojo. Many of the monkeys build robots for themselves, and one of them that made me laugh out loud actually drops little pellet bomb turds into its hand and throws them at people. Someone must have been laughing so hard they had trouble holding a pencil while they drew that. It's inventive, sweet as can be, and doesn't overstay its welcome by even a moment. If you have a POWERPUFF fan in your house or you are one yourself, you will be enormously pleased by the film, andif you're not, this is as good a time as any to check and see if the particular charms of the cartoon might work on you.
And now, if you just came for the POWERPUFF GIRLS review, it's time for you to go. I drove across town later in the afternoon to the Egyptian, where I went to a 5:00 screening, part of the Japanese Outlaw Masters series that I mentioned a few weeks ago.
This is your last warning.
I'm going to talk about ICHI THE KILLER.
I'm not kidding.
Takashi Miike must be Japanese for "cum and blood," because I have never seen anyone so fixated on painting a screen with bodily fluids. There is a gleeful malevolence to the work that Miike does that is unequalled in film right now. If there is anyone who has taken up the mantle of "most trangressive filmmaker working" long since abandoned by cinematic institutions like David Cronenberg and John Waters, it is Miike. The man is like a tumor, a diseased organ pumping out films that are unhealthy, infected, sure to do damage.
And, god help me, I like what he's up to.
Here's a review I got in earlier today from "Izzy The Killer," a reader who was at the same event at the Egyptian. He does a good job of setting up the plot:
First time writing in and fresh from the American Cinematheque (at the Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood). I just finished up a weekend of Seijun Suzuki's "Pistol Opera" and Takeshi Miike's "Ichi the Killer" as part of the Revenge of the Japanese Outlaw Masters 4 film series. Both shows were packed, although moreso for the latter. I suspect that anticipation would be built up by Miike's growing cache as he consistently resets the bar for disturbing films deemed too violent for audience members under 18. The last Outlaw Masters film series was the debut of "Audition" and better video rental shops carry "Visitor Q", each more horrifying than the last. Next up "Ichi the Killer"...
Ichi is a hitman of sorts, who is mentally abused and brainwashed to believe that his hits are bullies and bad guys who must be killed in the name of the little guy. Ichi's mentor / boss had taken Ichi in as a small child who killed his parents. The benefactor forces false memories into Ichi - memories of torture, abuse, rape, bullying, and helplessness at the hands of children and class mates. Years later the result is a crying, unstable and unstoppable killing machine that disembowels, beheads, saws asunder, chops and slashes his hits - all the while dressed like a super hero.
Ichi is hired to kill off the Anjo clan as rival syndicate members take over the video porn industry with Anjo's demise. The killing alarms Anjo clan who go about searching for Ichi and a bag of money stolen by Ichi and his clean-up crew. Make no mistake, the clean-up crew is literally a clean-up crew who is tasked with mopping up after Ichi. Yakuza torture methods to shake down info on Ichi include piercing, burning with tempura oil, cutting off tongues, cutting off nipples, breaking off arms, etc. etc. All violence is graphic and bloody bloody bloody.
Remarkably this film is a yakuza revenge thriller comedy, and is extremely funny albeit horrifying. Somehow Miike has found a way to make a wholly unreasonable film that is both entertaining and hugely successful in Japan. Miike has completely perverted the genre of said yakuza revenge thrillers, and just in time! See this film if you are a fan of Asian cinema or gangster films, but I recommend keeping at least one hand free to cover your eyes.
As long as that's all you're using that one hand for, Izzy. I will admit to being a little disturbed by just how hard some of the people around me were laughing at certain things, but I guess that's a natural reaction. You have to do something when confronted with these images. Just sitting there in silence seems impossible. Kakihara (Tadanobu Asano) is a bleached-blonde masochist who becomes the main rival to Ichi (Nao Omari) over the course of the film. No one actually knows who Ichi is. He's a mystery, and everyone imagines a total monster, which is one of the things that Miike totally screws with. His "hero" is a snivelling, crybaby, impotent mess who kills with razor lined heels while dressed in a hysterically silly sculpted rubber costume. If you can ever watch one of the Warner Bros. BATMAN films again with a straight face after seeing Ichi in action, I admire your ability to compartmentalize. Me? I'm ruined. This movie is just so persuasively silly. Of course, it's hard to dismiss a film as "silly" when it features nipples being cut off on screen, some insane tricks with needles, tongues being severed, opening titles written in semen, rape, and the graphic onscreen death of children. It's hard to justify to someone who wants to be offended. If you're looking to get outraged, this film will do the trick. And I'm not saying you're wrong, either. I can't say that ICHI THE KILLER is making some important moral point or reaching for some sort of higher meaning with the use of these images, and I'm sure Miike would openly laugh at anyone who tried. This is a film that exists simply to sandblast your eyes and your sensibilities, a movie that assaults you with a sort of genial charm. It is fouler than Peter Jackson's DEAD ALIVE. Even Miike's earlier films like AUDITION and DEAD OR ALIVE and VISITOR Q are like mere warm-ups for the almost orchestral perversion of this film. And, oddly, it's thematically very similar to POWERPUFF GIRLS THE MOVIE. They're both knowing riffs on the superhero story, with the origin material turned inside out.
Both films also place innocents in roles where they are turned into weapons by people with shadowy motives, tricking them by appealing to their sense of what's right. The Powerpuff Girls help Mojo Jojo because they believe that he is going to help them do something so wonderful that all of Townsville will have no choice but to accept them. Ichi is convinced that he was bullied and beaten down as a child, and he doesn't want that to happen to anyone else. There's a moment where he karate kicks a 12 year old bully, practically crushing his chest, and he does it because he's standing up for a boy who is in the exact position he was brainwashed to believe he was always in. Ichi is a child, emotionally speaking, looking for some way to harness these horrible powers of his and find acceptance and peace.
Also, laying out the plots of these two films is hardly fair. These aren't films about plot. These are films about details, and both films deliver exactly what they promise. POWERPUFF GIRLS is filled with the same sly character humor as the television show, and ICHI THE KILLER is filled with the exact sort of extreme imagery that Miike fans have come to demand. Both films are extreme exercises in tone and style, and both are so extreme as to be nearly abstract.
Dear God... if not for the chronological proximity of the two screenings, would I really be comparing the films right now? And would they be making sense like that? In any case, it's extremes like this that keep me dizzy in love with what the movies can do. How else could I have had experiences this divergent in one day? I guess I could have volunteered at a daycare center and gone on a killing spree in Koreatown later that night, but there are any number of problems with that scenario.
Instead, I'm just pleased that these two films have become jumbled now in my memory, entangled. It's just the way I like it, sweet and sour thoroughly mixed, and whatever your taste, seek out the appropriate picture. You'll be glad you did.
"Moriarty" out.

Another "good" Miike film - Dead or Alive
by WeedyMcSmokey
Its got everything you want in a Yakuza flick - Shotgun blasts that show you what victims had for dinner, 40-foot lines of cocaine, jugular wounding off a guy in the midst of raping another guy, and shotgun-offering clowns (you heard me). And that's all in the first ten minutes. Following this there is some kind of story about cops, locals and the Yakuza, but I had trouble really giving it the attention it so richly deserved after seeing the bestiality sequence (Japan is fucked up - porn wise). Anyhoo - Miike may try (and succeed) in pushing the audience to new heights of blood-letting comedy, but the man nows how to reward his audience with a kick-ass ending. This one is indescribibly good. Its a real pay-off, if you make it to the last reel without throwing up.

John Kricfalusi is alive and well and prosperous up here in the great white north. On Canadian cable T.V we have a station called Teletoon (similar to the Cartoon Network in the USA) On this station John K. has a new 'toon called "The Ripping Friends" which contains whacked out humour, potty-jokes, manic characters and all the stuff we loved about Ren and Stimpy. The show is about a group of super-heros who are 30 years old and live with their mother at Ripcot headquarters. It's a great show.

by ThePoleOfJustice
First off, PLEASE tell me that "Minority Report" is not gonna be the next AOTC, wherein it shows up in EVERY DAMN TALKBACK, regardless of relevance! Please, keep discussion of that shit sandwich where it belongs. Also, although I absolutely loved "Audition," I thought "Ichi" was ungood. Hopefully, the enormously talented Miike will focus on making real movies, and not the glorified faux-snuff flicks that "Ichi" represents. Notice that nobody really speaks of the storytelling or characters in "Ichi?" 'Cause there's no point. If you're a gorehound, you may have some use for this, but six reels of special effects don't mean squat to me. Yeah, it's disgusting, but so was "Visitor Q," and that was worth watching. "Ichi" will probably have some cachet, simply because it's so far out there, but it pains me to see Miike do this...sorta like watching Hitchcock make a Herschel Gordon Lewis crapfest. Anyway...The Powerpuff Girls movie? HELL yeah. The "Meet The Beat Alls" episode was inspired and thick with geek detail...God only knows what kind of hipster havoc McCracken will wreak with this...And to the above poster concerning "Samurai Jack," I always saw that show as being about the artwork, and not the storylines (frankly, I feel the same way about Dexter's Lab.) And for seeing obscurities in Ohio, The Cleveland Cinematheque is about it, since Cowlumbus' Drexel seems to have misplaced it's testicular fortitude(hard to believe this is the same theatre that ran the first "Tetsuo" when I was working there.) They seem solely interested in running the (please pardon the term) "chick flick" end of the independent spectrum. Hell, there isn't even really a place to buy import DVDs around here, unless you wanna count the Virgin Megastore (I don't, although I should mention that I snagged a copy of Tsukamoto's "Gemini" on a gorgeous Korean DVD from a rental place in German Village.) Never believe we have one of the largest University cultures in the country, would you?

Miike's films availability in the states
by Ein210
Audition as most every knows is available domestically here in the states. Dead or Alive 1 has been picked up by Viz for a North American DVD release, but noone seems to know when its happening. Tokyo Shock has acquired rights to both Visitor Q and Ichi the Killer, scheduled for NA DVD release in October. Otherwise, quite a few of Miike's films are available subtitled on DVD but in PAL format. If you can only run NTSC, then there is always the bootleg tape realm. Ebay is always good for that kindof crap.

As for PPG, I love the show (best animated show since "R & S"), and I was curious as to how they`d be able to stretch it into a feature-length movie.

Y'know, I'm getting the somewhat disturbing feeling that we probably know each other...the scene here in Cowlumbus ain't big enough for that not to be the case on SOME level. Also, Yes, Jeff and Kathy Franks are fine people, and oh yeah, THE DAY...was way cool...but I stand by my assessment that they're playing it pretty safe. I mean, c'mon, right now the closest thing we have to indie cinema is "Monsoon Wedding." Nothing against it, but...c'mon. What was the last thing you saw here in town that made you say "Aw, Hell yeah, I can't believe THAT came here?" And I'm with ya on IMAR, picked up my copy of "Shaolin Soccer" there. I guess I'm just a little frustrated at watching all this stuff go by without a single blip of it coming here...that, and Campus Partners have completely gutted my beloved campus/record store strip...and the music scene is dying a slow death...and...**SOB** ;)

Ichi the Killer is absolutely the most fucked up, violent movie I have ever seen. I have seen a lot of violent movies, but nothing like this. It's as if Miike thought, "Well, what has never been filmed before?" and then proceeded to shoot everything his perverted mind could come up with. Jesus. It's hard to say if this is an enjoyable film, but I know I'm going to see his THE HAPPINESS OF THE KATAKURIS tonight.

goldmember.....SPOILER.... from the washington post Forget Dick Cheney's constant complaints about leaks. Yesterday New Line Cinema, citing everything but national security, pleaded with us not to publish details of the glitzy cameo appearances in "Austin Powers in Goldmember," the studio's summer blockbuster starring Mike Myers, which opens July 26. According to a source closely involved with the production, the opening sequence is an elaborate movie-within-a-movie featuring Tom Cruise as Austin Powers and Gwyneth Paltrow as the "busty babe" who keeps his mojo going. Danny DeVito plays Mini-Me and Kevin Spacey emotes as Dr. Evil.Director Steven Spielberg yells "cut," and the real story begins. We hear other cameos include Ozzy Osbourne and his family, John Travolta and Nathan Lane.

When I saw this I laughed my ass off. If you see this as a comedy, a VERY VERY VERY SIIIIIIICCCKKKK comedy, then there's a slight chance you might survive Ichi the killer. Also, a lot of people, and i mean a lot(!)walked out of this during the first 30 minutes. In terms of violence and gore, you can compare it with............well, actually nothing. Not even Peter Jacksons brilliant Deadalive (a.k.a. Braindead).

Boot logo
Rather than show the
dmesginformation during boot-up, Ubuntu 9.10 shows this minimal boot screen based on the Ubuntu logo. The same logo is used during installation and later on when booting into Ubuntu 9.10 from the hard drive

Once booting from the CD is complete, this is the installation screen that welcomes you. Note the release notes link at the bottom.

Release notes
Having a working instance of Firefox within the installation environment is a nice touch.

Astronomy with a helping of physics and a pinch of the other sciences.
First X-Class Solar Flare of 2013
The picture above is a blend of two images from NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory, showing a significant solar flare which peaked at 10pm EDT on May 12th, 2013. One image shows light in the 171-angstrom wavelength, the other in 131 angstroms. The flare classified as an X1.7, making it the first X-class flare of this year, and was also associated with a coronal mass ejection (CME).

Before you go and get your panties in a bundle, note that this hear portable gaming system is just a concept. That's right, it doesn't actually work but if it did you'd be playing your favorite Xbox 360 games any where you went. Putting aside the battery life issues, and where the disc would fit, the Xbox 1080 rocks a pop out LCD screen and a set of buttons to facilitate not only your gaming needs but your media ones as well. Hopefully Carl Archambeault, who came up with the concept, can make good on the tease and provide us with a portable Xbox 360 even the master Ben Heck would be proud of.
So this begs the question: will Microsoft create a portable gaming console like the PSP? Or is that market too saturated at this point? Personally I wouldn't be interested and with the iPhone in my back pocket why would I want to hull around yet another device.
