Steve Carell Sets His Out-Of-Office To Permanent
Monday, June 28 by
You won't have Steve Carell to push around and peanut butter scalp massage anymore.Expect to see Dwight Schrute stand on his desk and exclaim, "O, Captain! My Captain!!," because Steve Carell has confirmed that he is out this bitch. Carell told Access Hollywood that he will not re-up his contract when it expires at the end of the seventh season of "The Office." The show is expected to continue without him, but it's unclear at this point if new characters will join the cast.Despite its talented cast and writers, I can't imagine "The Office" without Carell's Michael Scott. Then again, I couldn't imagine that a grown man would paint his nude body to resemble a Spider-Man costume. That serving of crow was a tough one to choke down.
'Last Comic Standing' Judge Natasha Leggero
Monday, June 28 by Defy Media
Natasha Leggero, a Chicago native and fast tracking stand-up comic, shows us that girls can be funny and hot at the same time. She has worked on some of the best comedy improv shows around, like "Reno 911" and "Upright Citizens Brigade." While she may not be up there with Sarah Silverman for funniest (fartiest) lady of the year, she knows how to hold here own in the ever-challenging world of stand-up.A word from Natasha: "I've performed everywhere from clubs, laundromats, and even halfway houses. Halfway houses are a lot of fun, people laugh there, even though they may not have a lot of teeth."Laughing helps with the withdrawal. At least that's what my prick sponsor tells me. HAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!More pics of Natasha after the jump.

Sony Has Found Its 'Spider-Man' Almost
Monday, June 28 by
An in-depth look at Sony's casting/hazing process.Sony still hasn't decided who will take the lead in their unnecessary Spider-Man reboot, but they are at least a step closer. It's reported that most members of the casting shortlist have been forced to wear tights for "camera tests" and definitely not some sick, sex thing for studio kicks in case that's what you've heard. Nope, definitely for a camera test. Right, Deadline?I'm told that the candidates whose screen tests were viewed Friday are: Jamie Bell (the Billy Elliot star who wrapped the Kevin Macdonald-directed The Eagle of the Ninth) , Star Trek's Anton Yelchin, Kick-Ass's Aaron Johnson, Andrew Garfield (The Social Network), Logan Lerman (Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief) and Alden Ehrenreich (Tetro). Frank Dillane (Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince) and Michael Angerano (Lords of Dogtown) are also in the final list that the studio is working from.Ugh. C'mon, you guys. Just hurry up and pick one of the actors that people have heard about before. This is taking too long and we still need a few months worth of speculating who the villian will be and which girl from Twilight will play Mary Jane. (Hint: none of them.)
'Toy Story 3′ Beats 'Grown Ups' With Help from 3D
Monday, June 28 by
Toy Story 3 ruled its second weekend at the box office, bringing in $59 million. An estimated 57% of its revenue was from 3D screenings.The film easily crushed its closest competition, Grown Ups ($41 million) and Knight and Day ($27.8 million) thanks in no small part to the fact that Toy Story had a more substantial plot and more realistic, likable characters. Get it? It's ironic because Toy Story is a cartoon about toys!Ugh, never mind. (Empire Online)
Skip the Next 'Harold & Kumar'? NPH Wouldn't Do That!
Monday, June 28 by
Neil Patrick Harris (the actor and the character) is returning for the third installment of the Harold and Kumar trilogy. Harris joins the original stars, John Cho and Kal Penn, as well as newcomers Patton Oswalt and Thomas Lennon.The film, currently titled A Very Harold & Kumar Christmas, has already begun shooting at a mall in Michigan. Unfortunately, it's not slated for release until Christmas of 2011. If that bums you out, just get stoned, click here, and forget I said anything. (Empire Online)
Keven Spacey Might Make a 'Horrible Boss'
Monday, June 28 by
Last time I wrote about Horrible Bosses, I told you that at least two more big names were joining the film. Well, if you'd have listened to me and my warnings, you'd be a millionaire by now (somehow). Variety is reporting that Kevin Spacey is set to join the bizzaro cast, which already includes Charlie Day, Jamie Foxx, Jennifer Aniston, Colin Farrell, and Jason Bateman.The film centers around three co-workers who decide to kill their horrible bosses (hence the title), and Spacey will play one of the bosses in question. Given his previous work in Swimming with Sharks and Glengarry Glen Ross, he should have no problem with the role.
Tim Burton + Adams Family = Creepy Animated Movie
Sunday, June 27 by
Breaking news! Tim Burton is making a creepy animated movie! In other news, Tyler Perry is making a movie about black family life, and George Romero is making a movie about zombies.According to Coming Soon, Burton is working on an animated version of The Addams Family based on the Charles Addams' New Yorker illustrations. The film will reportedly use computer animation rather than the stop-motion techniques utilized for previous Burton films, and may be presented in black and white. If that isn't vague enough for you, the film "might" star Justin Bieber and "could possibly" feature the reanimated corpse of Dennis Hopper.

Kurtzman and Orci Developing Magician-Robbers Film 'Now You See Me'
Friday, June 25 by
Screen Junkies caught up with writer-producers Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci last night on the Saturn Awards red carpet. The duo who created "Fringe" and co-wrote Star Trek for frequent collaborator J.J. Abrams let us in on a new project they're producing. New You See Me, scripted by Ed Ricourt and Boaz Yakin, is about a heist crew of illusionists who rob banks and are actively inviting the FBI to try and figure out how they get away with it. Regarding audience expecations for magician movies, Kurtzman told us:Because I think the trick about a magician movie is that the movie itself has to be a magic act, which is an incredibly difficult thing to do. It requires cleverness and an intelligence. The magic act has to pay off in spades so the setup has to be brilliant and the payoff has to be brilliant.If we're talking Heat with magicians, I couldn't be more all about it. I'm sure they're going for a broader tone rather than a three-hour crime saga, but magician-robbers is definitely an enticing hook. I'm a huge fan of Christopher Nolan's The Prestige, which finds its conflict in dueling illusionists, so imagine adding semi-automatic wands to the equation. I just naturally assume any magician-robber worth his salt would pack a semi-automatic or sawed-off double-barrel wand.Source: Fred Topel

'The Social Network' Teaser Thinks An Awful Lot of Itself
Friday, June 25 by
Columbia Pictures has released the teaser trailer for David Fincher's The Social Network. The minimalist approach seems to love the smell of its own farts. Utilizing voiceover and bold text, Mark Zuckerberg is called a genius and a prophet. He almost made Jesus status, but he has yet to walk on water. …Loser. Regardless, the film is directed by David Fincher which means it's mandatory viewing for humans.The film stars Jesse Eisenberg as Zuckerberg, Justin Timberlake, Andrew Garfield, and Joe Mazello. It hits theaters October 1, 2010. Check out the TEASER after the jump…
Jimmy Kimmel and Drake's Music Video 'Tweet Tweet'

Jason Biggs to Star in Monorail Movie Directed By Jake Gyllenhaal's Daddy
Friday, June 25 by
Jason Biggs, the ol' pie f*cker himself, is set to star in the film Grassroots alongside Joel David Moore, the guy who played Sigourney Weaver's lacky in Avatar. From SeattlePI: The film, directed and co-written by Stephen Gyllenhaal (Jake Gyllenhaal's daddy) is based on ex-Stranger writer Phil Campbell's book "Zioncheck for President." Grassroots retells Campbell's work with Grant Cogswell's quirky 2001 bid for Seattle City Council and support for the monorail expansion. In the past ten years, Stephen Gyllenhaal has directed a few TV episodes and movies here and there, but nothing of note. Unless you consider the "Uncharted Territory" episode of "Army Wives" something of note. The real question is, can he produce a monorail piece as prolific as this: I highly doubt it.
Peter Jackson: Back in 'The Hobbit'
Friday, June 25 by
"Quit smiling, you bastard. Now I have to direct this damn thing."Good news for dorks everywhere, and bad news for Brett Ratner fans. Peter Jackson is on board to direct The Hobbit, according to Deadline. Warner Bros., New Line and MGM are currently in negotiations to bring the famed LOTR director back to Middle Earth.Jackson will take over for Guillermo del Toro, who dropped from the film earlier this year. Although it may prove problematic and costly for Jackson to step away from his current projects, a compromise seems to be eminent.The prequel to the LOTR trilogy will be split into two films, and will be shot back-to-back in Jackson's native New Zealand.

East 13th has been under construction for months because the road was in desperate need of an upgrade. But after all the snow, city engineers say the road is practically falling apart.
Drivers in the area may not have to dodge pot holes much longer.
After just one visit to Brotherhood Presbyterian, June Hicks says it was an easy decision to become the Preschool teacher. That was 40 years ago.
"Been here ever since," June Hicks said.
What's not so easy, is her daily commute down east 13th street.
"It's a trip, bump, bump, bump. And some times I go over and I think 'I hope it doesn't tear anything out from under my car,'" Hicks said.
Hicks says since last weeks' blizzards, the street has gotten even worse.
"Oh yeah, everything is a pot hole. The whole street is a pot hole," Hicks said.
City engineers say all the snow and moisture gets into cracks. It freezes, expands, and creates new pot holes. They say they constantly have to patch up the same holes over and over.
"Even in the same day, we've been out here on some of these pot holes two or three times in the same day putting patch hole material in it," Construction Engineer for the City of Wichita, Greg Baalman said.
That's why crews have been busy finishing the north side of the east 13th, so drivers can switch over to the smooth pavement.
Construction crews will be out finishing up their work Friday morning. They hope to open up the north lanes and move traffic over by noon so they can start repairing that side of the street right away.

Phase 2 Users Workshop 2012
Starting from Period 89 ESO will request the Phase 2 material for VLT/UT2 Service Mode runs to be prepared with the new P2PP v3.2 tool. This is a newly designed upgrade of the current Phase 2 Proposal Preparation Tool (v. 2.13) which includes new important concepts on how Observation Blocks can be linked together. Many programmes will benefit from these enhanced features.
In order to assist prospective ESO Service Mode users in the preparation of their Phase 2 material, the ESO User Support Department is organizing a workshop on Thursday January 12, 2012 at ESO Garching, Germany. The program will include:
- An overview of the Phase 2 process
- An overview of the new Phase 2 tools and resources available to Service Mode users
- A hands-on tutorial of the new P2PP3 tool and face-to-face assistance with Phase 2 material preparation
If you are interested in attending this workshop, please register as soon as possible. The number of participants will be limited to ~30. Priority will be given to users who have been observing regularly and/or will have been awarded time on any UT2 instrument for Period 89. This is because the new Phase 2 tools will be deployed first on UT2 (Period 89), and later on the remaining Unit Telescopes and VLTI (deployment foreseen for P90). In late spring / early summer 2012, we will organize a similar workshop with tutorials for all remaining VLT/I instruments (in preparation for Phase 2 for Period 90).
Participants are expected to bring a laptop with P2PP3 already installed.
The new Phase 2 tool version 3 (aka P2PP3)
Principal Investigators of successful ESO telescope proposals specify the details of their observing strategies during the so-called Phase 2 process. The observations are defined using the Phase 2 Proposal Preparation (P2PP) tool, which creates the Observation Blocks (OBs) that have so far been the smallest scheduling unit executable at the telescope. In addition ancillary information is provided via the submission of Finding Charts and a README file that describes the overall observing strategy of the run.
The P2PP tool has been in use at ESO telescopes since 1997 and has recently undergone some significant re-styling. With the start of survey telescopes operations and the complex scheduling of ESO Public Survey observations, ESO took the opportunity to expand the functionalities of the observation preparation (P2PP) and observation tools (OT).
The new version of P2PP (version 3, aka P2PP3) has been introduced for the first time at the end of 2009 on ESO survey telescopes. VISTA and VST Public Survey teams were invited to attend a similar workshop in Garching where the new P2PP3 functionalities were presented. The major enhancement with respect to P2PP2 (currently used at the VLT/I) is the possibility to improve the definition of observing strategies via so-called scheduling containers (for Service Mode programmes only). In P2PP3, the following scheduling containers can be defined:
- Time-links of OBs which allow the definition of relative time-delays between individual OBs.
- Concatenation of OBs which allows the execution of two or more OBs in a sequence without any other observation in between.
- Groups of OBs which allow the prioritization of a certain group of OBs with respect to another group within the same run.
A short description of the new P2PP3 tool and its scheduling containers is available here. The P2PP3 manual provides a more in-depth description of P2PP3, including the ranking algorithm used to schedule the observations in Service Mode.
The workshop participants are expected to bring a laptop with the P2PP3 already installed. In December 2011, shortly before the start of the Phase 2 period for Period 89 the new version of P2PP3 (version 3.2) will be available for download and installation.

Monopolistic Security Design In Finance Economies
AbstractAsset markets are usually incomplete. Security exchanges often introduce derivative securities which partially complete the market. The marketmakers make profits through a bid-ask spread. We use computational methods to determine the profit-maximizing choice of options for a marketmaker and examine how the optimal option depends on tastes

I disagree that it's a problem. Heroic encounters, as other have said, are meant to be the hardest, most challenging content out there. And the last boss on Heroic is meant to be the test by which the best can measure themselves. If 40% of raiding guild downed Heroic Ragnaros by this time, I'd see that as a serious overnerf of the content.

Singapore seems to have been spared the brunt of the haze so far. But businesses, especially those with outdoor operations, are busy preparing themselves for the worst.
SINGAPORE: Singapore seems to have been spared the brunt of the haze so far.
But businesses, especially those with outdoor operations, are busy preparing themselves for the worst.
This is because many of them, even those with crisis management plans, were hit by the severity of the haze last year.
Orchard Hotel is one of many hotels that have stepped up their preparations to deal with the haze.
It has air purifiers on standby for guests if they require it, as well as facemasks available on demand.
The hotel said last year's haze affected staff and operations the most, but it remained confident in its business continuity plans if the smog returns.
Riaz Mahmood, general manager of Orchard Hotel Singapore, said: "In spite of our best laid plans, challenges will arise and I do still see some of our employees, particularly those with respiratory issues, may find it difficult coming to work. So we will have to double up on our staffing and everything else because this is a very busy hotel.
"From a business standpoint, I do not envisage too many room cancellations. There might be the odd one here and there with the delayed flights.
"From a food and beverage perspective, I actually look forward to the business levels increasing because the people are already in-housed and because of the haze they probably won't go out. They will eat in the hotel and we will also have some programmes to encourage them to use our outlets."
Major tourist attraction Sentosa believes that having a plan which is resilient and adaptable is important to deal with all eventualities.
Koh Piak Huat, divisional director for operations at Sentosa Leisure Management, said: "Last year, when the haze hit us… in the interests of the safety of the guests and the staff, we had actually cancelled a few shows, such as the Song of the Sea.
"We also we had to make some adjustments for those in outdoor critical areas, we had to ask the staff to reduce their exposure time in outdoor activities.
"But I must say that the transition was pretty smooth because we had a resilient framework, which we had been exercising… based on the full pandemic plan, so for us it was the adaptation of the plan put into practice."
Since last year, Sentosa has expanded security camera coverage across the island, which enables it to monitor the environment and respond to emergencies quickly.

Bicycle Power!
Here's an update on the progress of GoFast.
First: spent an evening cleaning handlebars bought at Bikerowave swapmeet. Attached integrated shift and brake levers and PINK bar tape.
Then I spent an evening screwing in the rear derailleur (it just screws into the frame, ain't that easy!), screwing on the front derailleur, and not installing the chain. (From previous post you know I spent a couple of nights on the chain.) I also attempted to install the brakes I picked up at the Bikerowave swapmeet, but discovered they were recessed and not nutted. So that was a set back.
Oh derailleurs and shifters...
After a few days off (mostly due to work schedule) I dove back into the bike assembly by tackling the last major assembly: cables. I picked up the appropriate cable housing for both shift cables and brake cables, and the cables too. I easily attached the cable to the rear brake, but since I hadn't found a front brake yet, left that one off. I thought about pilfering the front brake off the Death Machine, but took the advice of a friend and waited to see if I could get the derailleurs working.
Well, it turns out that not all shift levers and derailleurs are the same. There is this thing called indexing. Of course I understood the principle of friction shifters, but this indexing thing was new to me. With some guidance from the online cycling community, I discovered that (after many hours trying to adjust the tension on the front derailleur) that I needed a cable stop with tension adjuster and the clamp from downtube shifters to attach it to. I haven't finished this component yet, but hope to tomorrow. However, I moved onto the rear derailleur, and after some adjustments, clicked through the gears while turning the crank arm and will wonders never ceased! It shifted through all the gears. Woohoo!
Following are just some random pics, including the state of my living room.
I wish I had taken pictures along the way of the whole chain fiasco. So here we go:
Step 1: Order a pink bicycle chain from a seller on eBay.
Step 2: Buy chain break tool from Catalina Bicycles on 3rd Street and Catalina.
Step 3: Watch tutorial on how to use a chain break tool on www.BicycleTutor.com.
Step 4: Completely disregard tutorial as follows:
a) Tutorial says to turn handle of chain break tool until pin comes almost all the way out but not all the way.
b) Drink glass of Diet Pepsi and Bicardi Select Rum
c) Break chain
d) Don't take rear wheel off
e) Spend an hour fighting with rear derailleur, chainring, and chain
f) Get fed up and leave for next day
Step 5: On 2nd day of chain installation, realize that you're an idiot and take freewheel off.
Step 6: Begin to put chain together, stop paying attention because you're watching Star Trek, and push pin all the way through the other side
Step 7: Smack yourself upside the head
Step 8: Use needle nose pliers to hold pin while hammering pin back into chain link
Step 9: Repeat Steps 6 through 8 three times.
Step 10: Take a deep breath, pay attention, and push pin into chain link slowly and successfully.
End result:
I actually ended up taking out a few links after this episode too. So it doesn't quite look this loose anymore.
A little help, please!
I always feel at odds with this "Bicycle Community". I don't feel like I fit into it, like I am somehow outside the mold of the particular kind of cyclist the community welcomes into its fold. I'm not an activist, nor do I really want to be. I'm not a hipster on a fixie (yes, I know that's a stereotype but that is one of the kinds of cyclists in this community). I'm not a "Fred" who owns a $3000 race bike and gets geared up on weekends. Sometimes I don't even feel like I can call myself a cyclist because I feel so out of place with what the "leaders" of this community cater to.
But here are the facts on me: I don't own a car; my bike is my transportation. When my other bike was stolen, I could only afford to buy a bike off Craigslist for $140 (and that was a little over budget for me). I don't make much money, but I'm not poor. I have a master's degree, and I'm an artist. I don't own a car because I can't afford one and because I just don't want one. I don't own an expensive race bike, even though I'm training to race. Right now I'm working a second job with long hours (10-12 hour days) on weekends (which I commute to by bike sometimes 40 miles there and back) just so I can afford a beat up, used triathlon TT bike for my races. I've ridden a lot of long distance rides—centuries, double centuries, two day "tours"—completely unsupported. I'm also building myself a new commute/tour bike. My current bicycle (which all of the above-mentioned riding occurs on) is a 56cm and I need a 50cm frame. I also wanted more modern shifters, so I decided I could pull together enough used parts and a used frame and just go in for a good shifting system to make a nice bike I can be proud of (no offense to the Death Machine).
The bike build project is where my continual feeling of odd-cyclist-out with what should be my community comes into play this week. With all this background, here is my letter to the Bicycle Kitchen, which describes the recent not so happy experience I had with them.
"Dear Bicycle Kitchen:
First off, let me say that I appreciate the service you provide to the community and the gap you try to fill for education on bicycle repair and maintenance. I first heard about you from a young man in a bicycle shop when I mentioned wanting to know how to work on my bicycle myself (back when I was riding a Huffy mountain bike before it got stolen). The young man said there was this place up in Hel-Mel called the Bicycle Kitchen, and they will teach you how to work on your bike. I thought, "wow, how cool is that?"
I never did make it up there with the Huffy as it was stolen. But as I became more familiar with the cycling community here, I found articles about the Bicycle Kitchen and was really happy there was such a place in my neighborhood. (I live about 1.5 miles south in the northern edge of Koreatown.) However, my joy in the foundation of the Bicycle Kitchen ends with the notion of it, because I've twice been denied help there, put off for one reason or another.
Let me say that I understand the purpose is to teach you how to work on your bike. It's not a bicycle shop and it's not a repair shop. I get it. I wasn't asking for either.
My first off-putting experience was when I came into the Kitchen during ArtCycle. I explained that I wanted to build a bike from scratch as a learning project, but also to ride, and asked what kind of frames they had. Now, based on everything I read, that's exactly the kind of project you can do at the Bicycle Kitchen, exactly what it's there for. But the "cook" there just looked at me and said, "well, we don't sell frames". I made it clear, again, that I wasn't looking to buy a bike, I wanted to build one, myself, I would need some direction, but this wasn't about "buying". The cook continued to brush me off, so I left with my friends and went back to ArtCycle. My impression was that they just didn't want to help me. I was very sad and had to wonder what this "community" was really about if these leaders in the community were going to discourage me for some reason or, dare I say, bias of their own.
So I embarked upon my bike build myself. I went to swapmeets, garage sales, searched online, and compiled used parts for my project over the course of a few months. Every time I talked to people about my search for parts they would say, "oh, you should visit the Bicycle Kitchen." I had to shake my head sadly and say I'd already tried that. However, as I began to assemble the bike, in my living room on the floor without a bike stand, I realized I needed an integral part to install my shift and brake cables. Last night, on a group ride, we stopped to show an out-of-town guest the Bicycle Kitchen. I went inside, explained that I was building a bike at home, and needed a cable clamp for the downtube. The cook politely showed me a cable clamp but would not give or sell it to me. He said, "We're not really a bicycle shop. You can bring it here and work on it." I explained to him that the bicycle was in pieces, I don't own a car, and I would have to carry it here, which isn't really an option, because I'm not walking through Hel-Mel and Koreatown at night, carrying my bicycle (and let me be clear, nighttime is the only time I have to work on this project). It's absolutely ridiculous that he even expected me to. Hello! There have been muggings, and recently cyclists have been held at gunpoint for their bikes in this area! I'm a 30-year-old woman, and while carrying the bike isn't the problem, I paid good money for all the parts I had to compile, since the Kitchen wouldn't help me in the first place. I wasn't trying to use them as a shop. I had a legitimate need, a legitimate situation, and could've used a little help. Regardless of my explanation, I was again refused any help and left very angry that I was being told that the only way I could get help was to do something I deemed dangerous.
Bicycle Kitchen, I don't know why you wouldn't help me. I clearly wasn't trying to use you as a shop; I was clearly trying to use you for exactly what you have been praised for in so many articles and blogs. It's not my place to tell you how to change; the Bicycle Kitchen is your organization. But I wanted to bring my experience with you to light because I feel like, for some reason or another, because I'm not a kid on a fixie or because I'm clearly not impoverished (but I don't make a lot of money), I was denied help. After I explained the danger in carrying my bike at night to the Kitchen for a clamp, I feel the volunteer should've been a little more understanding. It's not like I walked in and said "I need a clamp, how much?"
Women are an indicator species for cycling, and this community goes on and on about getting women on bikes. But it seems to me that you were very discouraging to this woman. Food for thought, and I hope you will think about it.
Thank you for listening to this complaint. Good luck in your continued mission to serve the bicycle community.
Amanda F. Lipsey"
Trust me, I don't like writing about unhappy experiences in my blog, but this blog is about my life without a car. And this is one of my experiences. I wouldn't have written about it, except that I really felt like the man who insisted that I carry my bicycle through a bad neighborhood just to get a clamp was so unsympathetic. I have been turning it over in my mind all night. It was all I could think about on my ride to work this morning. I guess I just hope that maybe this community can acknowledge that there is a segment of the community that's like me. And while we're small right now, aren't we the exact segment that you want to build? Except when we come to the table, you treat us poorly. What gives?
In reviewing my post, reading the list of things I have accomplished on my beat up old Schwinn that doesn't fit me, that should be impossible for me to ride comfortably, makes me want to cry. All I want is to build myself a working, sturdy bike that fits me. I'm not asking for much. I wasn't asking Bicycle Kitchen for much. I just don't get it.
GoFast is almost here
Last week and Monday, all the parts I had won or ordered via eBay or online stores arrived. Last night, I attached the Shimano Sora shifters to the handlebars and installed pink grip tape. Tonight I'm hoping to plow my way through the rest of the job...think I might need a few beers to enjoy while doing so. I do have pics of handlebars with shifters and grip tape. Just no time to post them right now.
Here's tonight's to-do list (in no particular order)
1) Pick up chain tool, some missing bolts and screws, cable housing, new brake shoes, and brake cables from 3rd St. Bike Shop
2) Install front & rear derailleurs
3) Install brakes and new brake shoes
4) Install shifter & brake cables
5) Install chain
6) Adjust derailleurs
7) Install pink toe cages
8) Install pink tires
9) Install bicycle seat
10) Install pink water bottle cages
11) Remove rear rack from Death Machine, install on GoFast
12) Remove cyclocomputer from Death Machine, install on GoFast
So yes, I will be working all night on the bike. I will probably fall asleep on the yoga mat next to my bike work station. I don't care. On Wednesday night, I want to take her out for a test spin.
GoFast! No, I mean GO FAST!
Some of you who follow me on Twitter know that the last few weeks I've been on a desperate search for wheels. Bicycle wheels, to be exact: 700c preferably, with a 7 speed cassette. After weeks scouring Craigslist and eBay and asking around, I finally sauntered into the Bike Shop on 3rd Street (near Alexandria). It's owned by a nice Korean family, and they always do good by me.
I noticed they had one used freewheel hanging up. The young lady took it down and confirmed that it indeed was a 700c with a 7 speed cassette. I squealed. I told them I was so happy I came to them, and it just confirmed how much I like supporting my local bike shop. They expressed their happiness to have loyal customers.
Anyways, they located a matching front wheel, and after the young lady conferred with her father, they set a price at $70. I probably could've bargained, but they always do right by me, and after the searching and searching I've done, I was willing to be a little overcharged. At the same time, I asked if the had a used working downtube shifter, 3x7 for my friend @cyclo_astro's Rike (Red Bike), and they threw it in for $10.
I highly recommend this little Bike Shop. They do repairs on the spot, and they are willing to make some deals. Anyhow, below are some pictures documenting the process of putting together GoFast. (The new bike is named GoFast.)
I know I'm beautiful and I can stop traffic, but seriously, I don't need help crossing the street
I wanted to link to Will Campbell's post about drivers who think they are being polite at an intersection, trying to wave you through, but really are just putting you at danger, but I can't search quickly enough and I need to post this. Recently there have been hit and run collisions/incidents in the news in which one lane of traffic stops for a cyclist or pedestrian, and other drivers, who can't see why traffic is stopped, zoom around into the other lane just in time to smash the poor ped or cyclist into pink dust. Do these people not watch the news and see these stories? What I love the most is when they try to bully you through an intersection. I'm sorry, you can't bully me.
Today at Highland and 4th, I pulled into the intersection and waited for traffic to clear, and about 10 cars in a row tried to stop and wave me through (while they had a green light ahead and no traffic behind the set of cars). When I waved them through to keep going and not stop traffic, they take it as a personal affront. For some reason, not one of them paid attention to the fact that I waved through the car in front of them, shaking my head. Most of them just shrugged and kept going, but one fat asshole (and I'm not kidding he was pudgy) decided to roll down his window and say something indiscernable as he finally pulled through. I really don't care about his good opinion compared to being dead.
Another instance: lLast week, while running on 4th Street, I came to a four-way stop that had a lot of cars backed up in all directions. I jogged in place (on the sidewalk, minding my own business) and waited for the cars that were going west to have the right of way, but some idiot going north stopped traffic for a full minute trying to wave me through, like I was actually paying attention to him. I wasn't standing on the curb and acting impatient or unpredictable, in fact, I was about 10 feet or more back from the curb, jogging in place. Now, forgive me, but I'm not putting on a show for anyone. So if you think you're going to wave me through and get to watch my ass bounce through the intersection, you're wrong. I'll sit down on the sidewalk and cross my arms before I do that. But also, cars were honking at him to go, what the hell was he doing? He started to yell at me as he drove past and I couldn't resist just smiling sweetly and giving him half a peace sign.
Here's the deal motorists: I implore you to do two EXTREMELY SIMPLE things: first, just obey the fucking right of way and, second, don't stop traffic when it's clearly not necessary and a cyclist or ped is shaking their head "no" and waving you through. I have no legal obligation to pull through an intersection because you decide to stop traffic. I can see far better than you when it is safe for me to go through the intersection. AND, I DECIDE WHEN IT'S SAFE FOR ME, NOT YOU! So don't roll down your window and yell at me like I'm insulting you because I won't let you decide my fate. I do not need help crossing the street.

About Michael F. Adams
For Adams, the road began and continues in the South, with a short detour through the Midwest.
He was born in Montgomery, Ala., on March 25, 1948. He spent the first through ninth grades in Atlanta, Albany and Macon. At 15, he moved to Chattanooga with his family, as his father climbed the corporate ladder at Kraft Foods.
The next few decades were a whirlwind of getting an educationboth in and out of the classroom. He earned a speech and history degree at David Lipscomb College in Nashville, where he met his wife. He then earned a masters degree in communication research and a doctorate in political communication from Ohio State. He parlayed those degrees into a five-year job as chief of staff for U.S. Sen. Howard Baker. He had a run for Congress in 1980, and then he went to work as deputy commissioner of economic and community development for Tennessee Gov. Lamar Alexander for a few years.
It was then that he jumped into education administration. He became vice president of university affairs and a professor of political communication at Pepperdine University. While there, in 1984, his parents moved back to Atlanta. His sister was living there, as well.
In 1989, he became president and professor of government for Centre College, a small liberal arts school in Kentucky. He stayed for eight years. When he tossed his hat into the ring for the UGA job, it was the last day to apply.
My whole mentality was in [doing] some kind of service, he says. My mother wanted me to be a minister, and I didnt think that fit me full time.

imo mastery is just going to be a nob blizzard is going to use to toon classes. my big worry, other then the new rage system, is that we may get another ArP situation. where its not that great in the beginning and gets buffed then in later content since the gear is available you try to cap out at 100%. Alot of people are rather annoyed with ArP so much that its getting taken out of the game except thru mastery. can we cap out ArP once more? 51 talent points will get us 24% how many more on gear to get 50% 100%? will they nerf it back down with this nob? will that make mastery lack luster for warrior due to the new rage system.
Mr. Rossi I do hope that they decide to give you a golden ticket to the beta. I may not be a good typer or poor at my ideas across but you are not :P you also have a firm grasp of the mech of warriors
No ArP is getting removed because it is so complex and non-linear that even Blizzard didn't understand it properly. IIRC ArP was the only game mechanic that was explicitly defined by Blizz because the EJ-types couldn't figure out the formula.
Due to the fact that even Blizz didn't understand ArP properly it got out of hand. But it getting out of hand isn't the reason it is getting removed. Blizz wants the average player to be able to understand their class without resorting to 3rd party sites. The decision won't be between a higher tier piece of gear with no ArP and a low tier piece stacked with ArP (which currently might be a better choice) it will straight up be based on what basic stats your class/spec needs and mastery points.
There's no way to stack armor penetration, aside from the first 51 points you put in a tree that has that as a secondary mastery. No tree has armor pen as their primary mastery, which is the only one the mastery stat on gear can affect. While it seems not unlikely to vary up and down from one patch to the next as balance issues become more clear to the devs (and players), without the ability to stack it unbalancing amounts aren't really possible.

Access to the Internet will predominantly be from mobile devices including smart phones and machine-to-machine interactions. Most information exchanged in mobile internet will include spatial components.
In support of OGC members and society, this OGC Interoperability Program initiative aims to help develop the consensus standards infrastructure necessary to achieve the full societal, economic and scientific benefits of location information in mobile applications worldwide.
OGC members and the public are invited to participate in this project's activities, which currently includes:
The purpose of this IndoorGML Standard Working Group is to develop an application schema of OGC GML and progress the document to the state of an adopted OGC standard. The goal of this candidate standard is to establish a common schema framework for indoor navigation applications. This SWG will start from the discussion paper (OGC 10-191r1, Requirements and Space-Event Modeling for Indoor Navigation), which summarizes the requirements and basic idea of a standard for indoor navigation.
This project is currently in concept development.
What is it? An inter-disciplinary, inter-agency and international virtual observatory system for water resources information from observations and forecasts in the U.S. and Canada, building on current networks and capabilities, designed to support these functions:
This project is currently in concept development.
In June 2011, the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) opened an initiative called EarthCube in a partnership between the Geosciences Directorate (GEO) and the Office of Cyberinfrastructure (OCI). This seeks "transformative concepts and approaches to create integrated data management infrastructures across the Geosciences." A Charette was held near Washington DC, 1-4 November 2011, in which OGC staff, members, and over 100 others from the research community participated to define a set of capabilities the EarthCube program needs to address.
In December 2011, NSF released a Dear Colleague Letter with additional details on the process and requirements to explore ideas to receive funding in support of EarthCube goals (available at http://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2012/nsf12024/nsf12024.jsp).
See (and subscribe to) http://earthcube.ning.com/profiles/blog/list for the most current status reports from NSF on this initiative. Other pages on this website provide background materials and whitepapers submitted prior to the charette, as well as ongoing group discussion on various topics. Anyone interested can register and join these discussions at any time.
OGC staff are working with interested members and the broader geosciences research community on organizational framework and other proposals to support this initiative. If you are interested in coordinating with OGC on a proposal for EarthCube, please contact David Arctur on OGC staff (darctur AT opengeospatial.org).
The GeoBI Ad Hoc has been renamed to GeoBI DWG upon approval during the December 2011 TC/PC meetings.
Business intelligence (BI) aims to support better business decision-making using computer-based techniques used for identifying, extracting and analyzing business data. Geospatial Business Intelligence (GeoBI) adds geospatial technology to BI.

Dragon in the Ice Castle at the Saranac Lake Ice Festival (feb. 2014).
Crossed eyes and focus on middle image to view.
Dragon in the Ice Castle at the Saranac Lake Ice Festival (feb. 2014).
Crossed eyes and focus on middle image to view.
A nice picture at Point Au Roche State Park on Christmas Eve day 2013. I like the way the 3D works with the docks and tree lines. (Cross eye view)
I recently upgraded to new iPhone 5 from a cr*ppy cheap smart phone wanna be that will remain nameless. This gave me the chance to try out and then buy the 3D Camera app ($1.99). It actually works extremely well. The two main rules for non-3D cameras apply here too, 1) no movement and 2) keep level. You will also have to learn over time how to space your paired shots, where to focus and to avoid certain edge clutter and too many skinny vertical objects. The learning curve will be greatly reduced with the instant feedback you get with this app.
This app also has a feature to make gif wobbles. I am still learning these wobbly Gif rules. Here are some 3D's made with this app from a recent trip to the Montreal Museum of Fine Art straight off my iphone with no touching up. I have a bunch more made with my other camera and stereomaker that I am processing and should be up soon.These stereograms work the usual way, cross your eyes and focus on the middle image and vary your distance from the screen (make the one middle dot). Scroll down for some interesting wobbles. I couldn't resist the Venus of Montreal!
A Flutter By!!
I did a wobble of one of my wife,s butterflies (see wizardislanddesigns.com). For this one I used StereoPhoto Maker and resized with Gimp. Anabuilder is sort of past it now and will not even run on a Mac anymore.
This beaded stuff has me thinking … . . more to come.
Ice and Death after Nemo
We went snow shoeing at Point Au Roche State Park in upper New York on Lake Champlain on the Sunday after Nemo hit. The storm blew piles of lake ice onto the shore. We also found one unfortunate casualty, a deer, that appears to have frozen to death during the storm. I thought it was nice that it turned into a natural bird feeder, but Karen was grossed out. It is kind of gory so be warned. All of these are set up for cross eyed 3D (cross your eyes and try to focus on the middle image as you vary the distance you are from the screen). The last one is particularly cool in my opinion but challenging to get the effect.
Went for a drive today to check out the leaves. It's been gray and rainy but we still had some nice views.
Cross eyed images taken at Point Au Roche State Park in New York. Cross your eyes and focus on the middle image to view. Frogs are ideal models, they either jump right away or they tend to hold very still while you take their pictures.
The Natural History Museum at Oxford is a 3D photography paradise, lots of interesting architecture, dead things and rocks that all tend to hold very still. Unfortunately, my camera is packed away for a move and all I had was my iphone. Did get these three to work however.
To view:
1) cross your eyes
2) focus on the middle image while varying your distance from the screen
A couple of cross-eyed images from Cox Cave in Cheddar Gorge. The reflection on the water in both is kind of cool and not quite right at the same time.
To view:
1) cross your eyes
2) focus on the middle image while varying your distance from the screen

Is it safe to have Tummy Tuck and lipo of the bra roll at the same time?

View 5 doctor answers to Is Tummy Tuck with Back Lipo Safe?
Comments (2)
I had both the tummy tuck an lipo done at the same time and did absolutely fine. If you are seeing a board certified surgeon they will do what is best for you.
- Reply
You'd need to have a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon who could examine you first, but assuming you're in good health, it is not uncommon for women to get a tummy tuck and lipo at the same time. If you go for it, please come back and post a review so we know how it went!

A 7-year-old boy in western Pennsylvania was suspended from school, after he accidentally brought a toy gun to class.When Darin Simak realized he had brought the gun to school, right away he took it to his teacher, according to his parents.The boy thought he was doing the right thing.
"I handed it over and said 'I'm not supposed to have this'," Simak said.But soon after, school officials called the parents, and said their son wasn't allowed back in class."I never claimed to be a perfect parent.," said the boy's mother, Jennifer Mathabel. "I didn't raise a perfect child."But she says Darin did the right thing by turning it over to the teacher."Handed it over, and said I'm not supposed to have this," said Mathabel. "She said that he could not come back to school. I sent him the next day anyway."

By Femina | June 3, 2013, 1:33 pm IST Relationships
While it takes a lot of patience to hold on to a fatigued relationship, it takes even more courage to walk away from it. Many of us carry on with empty relationships even when we know deep down that we deserve better, and we could get it. Though, pretending to be happy can sometimes be easy, living a lie is always tough. So, listen to your heart when it says it's time to move on—as these three women did.

Hit me up on Steam (Captain "Vagax" Morgan)
i hope senpai notices me
I rip the skeeeeen.
Well my daddy taught me some things too, like ahm.. how no to rip the skin using someone else's mouth instead your own hands
Hmmmmm I see that daddy gave you a good advice
Oh shit I'm sorry
Oh I'm sorry
Sorry for what? Our daddy taught us not to be ashamed of our dicks.
I fear it isn't all that easy for me; I can identify some, but never all. And besides, I'm still relatively new to my job.

30kg squat today
It makes me sad that I've slid backwards so much
But I'm happy that I'm regaining lost ground pretty fast :)
30kg squat today
It makes me sad that I've slid backwards so much
But I'm happy that I'm regaining lost ground pretty fast :)
Yet again, it's been a while.
I've had my settling in period, it's time to cut the crap.
Being in a new country on the other side of the world, with limited food/cooking options and the inability to go on a run without coming home entirely drenched in sweat (even at 4am!)…it's gonna be interesting. Also my work load is getting really serious. I'm just gonna have to avoid wasting my time like I used to.
Back to the old routine. Back to lifting, back to yoga. If I can deal with the crazy sweating it would be nice to start running again properly as well. I need to be careful not to break myself, I've had a couple run ins with my abs not taking kindly to being stressed. I gotta look after myself.
Graduated C25K? Here's what you can do next!
So I'm back. Well probably. I'm going to try and get into a thing of posting regularly again on here but it'll probably be mostly personal rather than dash stuff.
Lot of stuff going on. I got out of hospital. I finished my exams. I ran a 5k (in the craptastic time of 41mins and I'm still pleased with myself, ha). Now I'm on internship at a control systems company!
And to get to that internship, I am biking 16 miles a day, at what I've worked out to be about 18.5kph.
So with any luck by the end of this I will totally have legs and abs of steel! Am doing push ups and a spot of yoga to balance things out a bit. And I found a C25K+ running plan like the one I did originally but to help increase speed and distance after you "graduate" so I might throw a spot of that in at the weekend, maybe do a speed or distance run once a week or something?
I am also potentially helping my gf's family (who I am currently staying with) to get fit…this is quite the challenge. They (her mum and sister) have said they would like to because they know that struggling to walk for more than 30 mins is kinda not great. So I'm just going to offer encouragement, get us out the house on walks as much as possible (kinda doing c25k but with walking/brisk walking) and help them figure out some healthy meal ideas (fussy eaters in a very meat and two veg house!)
Meanwhile I've got more cardio than I've ever really been bothered to do before (because I kinda need it to get to work!) and I'm trying to resist the office biccies and have had lots of delicious healthy lunches so far (today was light hummus, roast chicken, cashews, salad, grapes and black pepper in a tortilla, tomorrow the same without the chicken and some stir fried pork and veggies!)
This is gonna be a good summer for me!
Oh yeah I guess I should have updated. I am out of hospital. I have an epic crap tonne of work to do. Such is life.
Revision is going so great.
*not an actual diet but what happens when you are hospitalised for stomach adhesions.
0/10 would not endure again.
I feel like shit and I feel dizzy every time I stand up.
My muscles are sad.
On the plus side I ate some mashed potatoes now and I swear they tasted like the most delicious thing I have eaten in my entire life.
Yoga involving being upside down.
Even rotations compress my stomach too much :( Just sticking to flexing my legs to stop my calves contracting too much.
Second shot at free fluids.
I haven't thrown up all the things yet, and I've managed a milkshake and a latte.
Also I'm finally getting some work done.
Feel like I've forgotten how to work automatically though, and I've lost half a stone in a not-good way.
Hospital sux but I am getting better (and K is here with me again <3)

Under $20: 5 Video Game Classics Reimagined
Here are five affordable titles with classic video game characters reinvigorated for the modern day gamer on a budget:
1. Super Mario Galaxy: $15.17
There's arguably no video game character more iconic than Mario. In Super Mario Galaxy, the adventurous plumber gets a wide range of new experiences during his journey, like flying and riding on stars. It's essentially Mario in space and it's awesome fun.
2. Pac-Man 3: $16.69
Most people don't realize Pac-Man has a whole new line of games for the Nintendo DS. There's no dots to eat, but there's lots of monsters. Kids and adults will get a kick out of the format.
3. Rayman Origins: $14.67 - $19.99
Rayman is a 90's creation, but he already has a classic feel to him already. In Origins we get to see the home of this zany creature. This game is great for groups, because the play style is designed to work together when necessary, but open ended enough to let each player do their own thing.
4. Metroid Other M: $15.23
As a teenager, I worshiped Samus Aran of Metroid. Most people think Tomb Raider was the first strong female protagonist, but helmet-hidden Samus was the original butt-kicking lady of the video game world. Fair warning, this modern lady in space game is rated Teen.
5. Sonic Generations: $16.17
Sonic the Hedgehog is another iconic creation of the 1990's, but he persists. His unique moves and gameplay style is even more fun in three dimensions on the Xbox 360.
(Images: as listed above)
2 Comments
If you actually like the character of Samus Aran, I cannot in good conscience recommend Other M.
Play any other Metroid game. Just... not that one.
We played through both Mario Galaxy games as a family. Our then four year old got really good at using the star and it was incredibly fun. The gravity switches make for a much more exciting challenge.

UNH Faculty Senate
Motion on Plagiarism
UNH Faculty Senate
Motion # IX-M22
Plagiarism software
1. Sponsoring committee: Student Affairs Committee
2. Motion presenter: Liza Finkel
3. Date of Faculty Senate discussion: May 2, 2005
4. Motion:
As a part of a broad effort to address plagiarism on campus, the university should adopt Turnitin for a period of at least one year. During that year, the Student Affairs Committee of the Faculty Senate should continue to explore other strategies for preventing plagiarism. In addition, CIS should document how many faculty members are using Turnitin and how useful faculty find it is; and CIS should report that information to the Student Affairs Committee of the Faculty Senate.
5. Rationale:
Terri Winters of CIS met with the Student Affairs Committee to review her research into available technologies for detecting and discouraging plagiarism. She identified a piece of software called "Turnitin" that she feels is most appropriate for our needs. It is used by a large number of other universities and can be integrated into Blackboard which we already use and for which we already have technical support. Faculty often indicate that they suspect plagiarism but are not able to find "evidence" that it has taken place. This software, which searches a large database of e-journals as well as student papers previously submitted to Turnitin, can help provide that evidence.
The cost for the software, for one year, integrated with Blackboard, will be $11,056.25. For 3 years it would be $27,356.25, including Blackboard integration. The software can only be purchased for use by the whole faculty; it is not something that we can buy for one or two people to use.
Faculty members could either access the software through Blackboard or through the Turnitin website (if they prefer not to use Blackboard). Students submit their papers, and the program provides a report to faculty of what percentage of the paper is "original." The program highlights plagiarized parts of the paper and provides a link to the website where the material was originally published. As students add their papers to the website, the database grows. Terri was not sure how the program distinguishes between a correctly cited quote and plagiarism, but she is going to find out for us. There is no problem if all faculty do not use the software, as it searches an already established database.
6. Senate action: passed, on May 2, 2005
Vote: a voice vote with one abstention
Senate chair's signature: Mimi L. Becker

The American Foundation for Equal Rights (AFER) has posted a guide for when the new expansions of marriage equality will take effect. Washington's law will take effect December 6 (30 days after the election). Maine's law could take effect as early as December 6 as well, but it depends on when the governor officially proclaimed the result of the vote. Maryland's law was set to take effect January 1, though that is a government holiday and licenses don't take effect for 48 hours, so January 4 is the earliest day a same-sex couple will be legally married there. In addition, if the Supreme Court decides not to hear the Proposition 8 case when it conferences on November 20, the Ninth Circuit ruling takes effect and same-sex marriage becomes legal there.

I'd be interested too. All I know about is the 30 min chicken and the bread pudding recipes!
Would you all share your favorite DCB recipes for the microwave? It's getting hot, and no one wants to heat up their kitchens around here.
If someone's already put together a document of DCB microwave recipes, please let me know. I've searched and found lots of recipes for the oven.
Also, I'd love it if someone could share a roast recipe for the DCB in the microwave.
Thanks all!
I'd be interested too. All I know about is the 30 min chicken and the bread pudding recipes!
Sometimes you just have a taste for chili even in the summer. I LOVE the Turkey Chili recipe that was featured. Shows lots of products, easy to make, and yummy!!!!
Just a quick comment on the Caramel Apple Bread Pudding in the DCB in microwave: I did it twice and both times it got ALL over my microwave. I would recommend doing it in the oven at 375 for 45 minutes with a TRAY underneath. I emailed the test kitchens about it and they didn't know what to say really.
Did you check out http://www.chefsuccess.com/f7/recipes-product-12982/ and the recipes in the booklet there? The document we created is Deep Covered Baker.doc . I'm willing to update the document with any new recipes we get so post away.
I did see that thread and the booklet. The recipes look very yummy, but none of them were for the microwave (unless there are two "Deep Covered Baker.doc" files) except the bread pudding and 30 minute chicken.
I'm specifically looking for a recipe for roast, but any others will do, too.

so I never have to answer these questions again...
it took about 2 months to make, although I didn't animate like every day because I have school and that is important
I used the program helium frog to take the pictures of this, which is in fact, free.
Tilman made the music, look him up
I do not know German, my friend Tilman translated for me
I used 1800 sheets of paper
well here it is, please enjoy.
Music by Tilman. Short monologue about Tilman. He is a fantastic musician and a hard worker (busting his ass to be a lawyer, wow). He's very nice and very funny. He's also a fantastic artist. He made all of my music in one day, staying up until 4 AM just to finish before my deadline. Please go check out his profile. The guy also made an interactive sound board to teach me German. What a guy.
sorry for the excessively large file, you won't be seeing another one of these for a while.
thanks to Zyphonee for dealing with my crap and importing the file to flash.
and thanks to mindchamber who contacted wade who upped my uploading limit.
also I can't crop out the sides, so don't ask me to, thaaaaanks.
this is my first daily feature, yaay.
also if you wanna watch something surprisingly similar watch jumping turtles, I made it about a year ago, so its probably not as good compared.

That was awesome!
That was one of the best animations I've watched in a long time, thoroughly enjoyed it! I definitely think it was enhanced by the fact it was hand drawn rather than produced digitally.
Music and sound effects were absolutely spot on, the dialogue was perfect and I loved the part where he suddenly started speaking German!
My only qualm was that at times it was a little hard to see what was happening because the action was quite small on the page, although this did contrast well with his growth spurts! Maybe zooming in on a central square following the credits rather than viewing the entire page might have made it slightly easier to watch, but really it didn't detract that much.
In all, a brilliantly made animation, with a wonderfully whimsical plot that could've been fractionally better if it was a spot larger! I can't wait to see what you produce next!
next time I will try to make better compositions so its easier to see, but hopefully it was easy to see for the most part.

Lotta patience.
What program did you use to put them together? I've tried doing this, but the time between each frame was much to large. Anyways, nice, loved the turtles POV.
helium frog is the program, and its FREE!!!
