Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., offered a trenchant comment the other day about the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in December, which was carried out by Adam Lanza with a semiautomatic assault weapon that reloaded bullets in rapid succession from a single ammunition magazine. Twenty children and six adults were killed in a deadly few minutes of fire. "We do know that historically in these instances, amateurs have trouble switching magazines," the senator said, according to the New York Times. "I believe, and many of the parents there believe, that if Lanza had to switch cartridges nine times versus two times there would likely still be little boys and girls alive in Newtown today."
The same might also be said for other mass shootings such as the one that wounded former U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords in Tucson and the one at an Aurora, Colo., movie theater. These semiautomatic assault weapons are primarily versions of guns created for soldiers in war zones and have no place in civilian hands. The high-capacity ammunition magazine is functionally the most important feature of semiautomatic assault weapons, including some assault pistols, allowing a shooter to rapidly fire up to 30 times without reloading. If Congress decides to legislate a limit on such magazines, say, 10 bullets, it could save lives.
The 10-round limit was included in the 1994 assault weapons ban, which expired in 2004. Taking stock of that law, a report for the National Institute of Justice noted that studies have shown that attacks with semiautomatic weapons "result in more shots fired, more persons hit, and more wounds inflicted per victim than do attacks with other firearms." There is already a huge stock of these weapons and ammunition clips in civilian hands, but Congress could at least staunch the manufacture and purchase of new ones.
A limit on high-capacity magazines draws more support in recent public opinion polls than does a ban on assault weapons. Senators who have resisted gun control legislation out of concern for political fallout have been hinting that they may support limits on ammunition clips. One of them, Mark R. Warner, D-Va., has stated that, despite his "A" rating from the National Rifle Association, he is ready to depart from the status quo in response to Sandy Hook. The senator could do so by speaking up for a limit on large-capacity ammunition clips.
No one who owns guns for hunting, target practice or personal self-defense needs to have a 30-bullet magazine, as Vice President Joe Biden rather inartfully stated in an online chat last week.
Biden said that civilians don't need a semiautomatic assault rifle of the AR-15 type — like that used by Lanza — to protect themselves. "It's harder to aim, it's harder to use and in fact you don't need 30 rounds to protect yourself," the vice president declared. "Buy a shotgun. Buy a shotgun."
We're not offering any such shopping tips, but we do think that Congress should act for the whole nation and put these high-capacity clips beyond reach.

I was wondering if sharding is an alternate name for partial replication or not. What I have figured out that --
- Partial Repl. – each data item has only copies at some but not all of the nodes ('Sharding'?)
- Pure Partial Repl. – has only copies of a subset of the data item but no node contains a full copy of the database
- Hybrid Partial Repl. – a set of nodes are full replicas and another set of nodes are partial replicas
I thought it was a good topic, I write a really nice answer, but there was a problem when I pressed "post this answer", probably some error or mistake on their side. Anyway - this is what I have to say about partial partitioning and sharding:
Partial replication is an interesting way, in which you distribute the data with replication from a master to slaves, each contains a portion of the data. Eventually you get an array of smaller DBs, read only, each contains a portion of the data. Reads can very well be distributed and parallelized.
But what about the writes?
Those are still clogged, in 1 big fat lazy master database, tasks as buffer management, locking, thread locks/semaphores, and recovery tasks - are the real bottleneck of the OLTP, they make writes impossible to scale... As I wrote in many previous posts, for example here: http://database-scalability.blogspot.com/2012/08/scale-up-partitioning-scale-out.html.
Sharding is where every piece of data lives only in one place, within an array of DBs. Each database is the complete owner of the data: data is read from there, data is written to there. This way, reads and writes are distributed and parallelized, real scale-out can be achieved.
The idea behind sharding is great, the ultimate scaling solution (ask Facebook, Google, Twitter and all the other big guys) but it's a mess to handle, to maintain. It's hard as hell if done by yourself, ScaleBase enables an automatic transparent scale-out machine - that does all that, so you won't have too...

Check out Rob Zerban's campaign website here.
In the week before Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) launched an impeachment probe, President Trump was tweeting an average of 18 times per day. But the start of the inquiry has led Trump to double that to an average of 36 tweets a day, the Washington Post reports. Trump set his single-day tweeting record of his presidency just five days after the impeachment inquiry began with 48 tweets. He then set another record last Friday, "hitting 59 total tweets, including 33 in just 20 minutes."
A new Firehouse Strategies/Optimus poll found that a majority of Democratic primary voters in early voting states believe that President Trump should not only be impeached but also imprisoned.
A new Kaiser Family Foundation poll finds 95% of Democrats and 61% of independents say they are not confident President Trump will follow through on his promises to propose a new health care plan. In fact, just 37% of those polled were even aware that Trump had promised to release a plan to replace the Affordable Care Act. However, 81% of Republicans are somewhat or very confident Trump will deliver on his health care promises.
"As President Trump approaches his 1,000th day in office Wednesday, he has significantly stepped up his pace of spouting exaggerated numbers, unwarranted boasts and outright falsehoods," the Washington Post reports. "As of Oct. 9, his 993rd day in office, he had made 13,435 false or misleading claims… That's an average of almost 22 claims a day since our last update 65 days ago."
Syrian Kurdish officials said clashes near Ain Eissa, a key Kurdish-held town in northern Syria, allowed 950 Islamic State supporters to escape from a camp for displaced people near a U.S.-led coalition base, the AP reports.
Poetic Justice
Buck Banks | Oct. 2, 2019
It's sad when you question your president's patriotism,
And alarming when you consider his nascent despotism.
But when it comes to Trump,
The shark he jumped —
When he congratulated the Chinese on 70 years of Communism.
"The truth is, Trump fatigue is a condition that knows no party, and many Republicans are as tired of this shit as anybody else. That's not to say they're outraged, or motivated to Make a Difference. They're just tired. You can live inside the right-wing bubble in a state of depression, resigned to the fact that, yeah, every five minutes or so, the president is probably going to do something norm-shattering or potentially impeachable, and no, you probably won't or can't do anything to change that. Sad!"
— Olivia Nuzzi
"There was no chance Erdogan would keep his promise, and full blown ethnic cleansing is underway by Turkish supported militias. This is what happens when Trump follows his instincts and because of his alignment with autocrats. … I said there would be blood, but could not have imagined this outcome."
— Gen. John Allen, the former commander of American forces in Afghanistan, told CNN that there is "blood on Trump's hands for abandoning our Kurdish allies."
"Look in the mirror and figure out how you want to be remembered later and how you feel about yourself today."
— Former Gov. John Kasich, in a CNN interview, giving advice to fellow Republicans in Congress.
"Just impeaching Trump for his bad behavior isn't worth it. But, if he challenges our system of checks and balances as he is doing, if he undermines our democracy, our electoral system, as he is doing, if he undermines his own oath of office as he is doing, it is a challenge to our Constitution."
— Speaker Nancy Pelosi, in an interview with the New Yorker.
"Try to impeach him, just try it. There will be a spasm of violence and insurrection in this country like you've never seen. Both sides are heavily armed. A politician who votes for it will be endangering their own life."
— Trump confidant Roger Stone, quoted by Yahoo News.

From Noobs to Experts: Is There an ABC for Linux Distros?
Oct 4, 2012 5:00 AM PT
"To every thing there is a season," as the old saying goes, and "a time to every purpose under the heaven."
Can the same be said for Linux distros? That is the question that's been on many Linux bloggers' minds.
Specifically, "What Distros Have You Used, in What Order?" was the title of the Ask Slashdot post that got the conversational ball rolling, and it was a provocative one.
'Ubuntu -> Arch -> openSUSE'
"Linux dude Bryan Lunduke blogged here about the top three approaches he thinks are the easiest for new users to pick up Linux," wrote blogger colinneagle. "Lunduke's, for example, went Ubuntu -> Arch -> openSUSE.
"It raises a question that Slashdot could answer well in the comments: what's your distro use order from beginning to now?" colinneagle added. "Maybe we could spot some trends."
Do Linux bloggers enjoy extolling the virtues of their favorite distros? Let's just say there aren't superlatives superlative enough for some.
Meanwhile, the nostalgia-fest hasn't died down since in blogobars throughout the land.
'My Go-To Distro for a Long Time'
"The first distro I ever used was called MKLinux, and it was on a friend's Mac," offered Google+ blogger Linux Rants down at the G+ Grill, for example. "That's what got me started with Linux."
After that, "I installed Red Hat (I think 3.0)," Linux Rants added. "Red Hat was my go-to Linux distro for a long time."
In the meantime, he tried "Slackware, Debian, Yellowdog, Suse, Linspire, Gentoo, Caldera, Storm Linux, and countless others in kind of a rush where I couldn't tell you what went where," Linux Rants said.
'I'm Back on Ubuntu'
"I used to buy CD packs with dozens of distros in them (those were modem days and a download of a distro would really annoy my roommates)," Linux Rants recalled. "I always went back to Red Hat."
When Red Hat was split into Fedora and Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), "I tried Fedora for a short while, and then along came the Warty Warthog itself, Ubuntu," Linux Rants said. "Ubuntu became my go to distro after that."
Since then he has tried "more Fedoras, SuSE again, CentOS, SolusOS, Bodhi, and Mint," Linux Rants concluded. "I'm back on Ubuntu right now, but I really enjoy trying new distributions, so who knows where I'll go next? This isn't even a complete list of the ones that I've tried already."
'I Started with Slackware'
Consultant and Slashdot blogger Gerhard Mack had a similar tale to tell.
"I started with the August 95 edition of Slackware released by Walnut Creek, then tried Red Hat a couple of years later," Mack told Linux Girl.
"When I got my first job and had to maintain 20+ servers, I discovered how much easier it is to maintain multiple servers using Debian, so I've pretty much been an exclusive Debian user for the past decade," he explained.
'My First Linux Was Slackware 2.0'
"Everyone loves a little trip down nostalgia lane," Hyperlogos blogger Martin Espinoza offered.
"My first Linux was Slackware 2.0 (kernel 1.1.47) installed from floppies on a 386DX25 with 8MB of DIP (!) DRAM, 120MB disk, and a 1MB Trident VGA card, which was enough to have the networking and development sets as well as most of X, and Netscape," he recounted.
"After that I used Caldera Network Desktop, then Red Hat itself for a while, on to Gentoo (on a K6, where it provided a notable advantage) then Debian," Espinoza added. "Now I run Ubuntu on my desktop and Debian on servers.
"Before Linux I ran Xenix on a 286 and SunOS 4.1.3 on a 4/260, and Slackware on a 386DX was really a pleasant environment to move into," he explained.
'Mint, Then Debian, Then Others'
Chris Travers, a blogger who works on the LedgerSMB project, followed yet another path.
"I started on Red Hat 5.2 and eventually moved to CentOS, Debian, and Fedora," Travers told Linux Girl. "If I were to recommend an approach to others, it would be Mint, then Debian, then others."
Still, "Gentoo looks very promising," Travers added. "The few times I have worked with it, I have liked it."
'A Good Jumping-Off Point'
In general, however, "the first thing a new user needs is a relatively soft entry," he opined. "I had no trouble with Red Hat because I was already somewhat comfortable on the shell, having a small amount of experience as a command line user on a DEC Ultrix system.
"Also Linux as a system isn't as transparent as it was in those days," Travers pointed out. "I think Mint today offers the best easy entry for users."
Debian, meanwhile, "is a fantastic distro for servers and desktops, and it is the natural progression for people who want to become serious about using Linux in business," he suggested. "It is extremely flexible and has a long support cycle, which is a rare combination.
"For those who want to go even more in-depth on the technical end, the next stage I think would be Gentoo, which is clearly BSD-inspired," Travers concluded. "It seems Gentoo would be a good jumping-off point to the BSDs, if one wants to go there."
'A Really Bad Question'
Google+ blogger Kevin O'Brien took issue with the question.
"This strikes me as a really bad question since it implies that there is a one-size-fits-all answer, and I don't think that is true," O'Brien began. "Before I would make any recommendation, I would want to know what kind of background someone has in using computers."
For instance, "if someone was a power Windows user, Ubuntu would probably just be confusing and drive them away, and something like a KDE distro would be a better choice," O'Brien explained. "If they were not very experienced, though, I think Ubuntu's Unity desktop might be a great choice.
"Another question I would ask is what they intend to do with their computer," he added. "If they want to mostly check e-mail and surf the web, almost anything would work well. If they are interested in making and recording music, one of the studio distros would be logical."
'I Get Both with Debian GNU/Linux'
Last but not least, blogger and retired educator Robert Pogson pointed to two different types of users.
"There are two cases: the user who installs GNU/Linux on his own PC, and the user who buys a distro pre-installed," Pogson explained.
"Newbies need a distro that's easy to install and to maintain in the first case," he noted. "In the second case, a newbie needs a distro that's easy to use and easy to maintain.
"I get both with Debian GNU/Linux," Pogson offered. "It has a reputation -- well-earned -- for being challenging to install, but that's ancient history. I had newbie high school students install it in minutes with little more than a demo you can find on YouTube and the advice that if they don't understand the question, accept the default."
Debian also has a reputation for being difficult to use, "but that, too, is history," he added.
'Why Use Anything Else?'
So, "the world can save a lot of anguish about which distro to choose by choosing Debian GNU/Linux or another good distro and sticking with it to learn more about it," Pogson suggested.
"I used a dozen different distros in my time, but I could have saved a lot of work by starting with Debian," he explained. "I used Caldera, Mandrake, Red Hat, Fedora, Slackware, KNOPPIX, SystemRescueCD, a few others and finally Debian GNU/Linux. If you can't do it with Debian, it can't be done."
The important thing to remember about GNU/Linux "is that the distros are all mostly the Linux kernel and the GNU utilities," he concluded. "The rest are just applications, and you can use the same applications on different distros. I recommend Debian because it has one of the largest repositories and works on the most hardware. Why use anything else?"

Xenu Hates Bloat
The GMD is currently working on a cameo for Ben Stiller's new movie Tropic Thunder. Ben of course is balls deep in bed with Tom Cruise, also committing to United Artists and the GMD to star in the Hardy Men Movie with shooting scheduled to begin next year.
Obviously willing to return the favour, Tom donned a fat suit and a bald wig in character for Tropic Thunder and was caught by the paps. Once the images started lighting up the web however his intimidating legal team swept in to crush circulation, warning of legal action if magazines and tv shows dared to air the pictures.
Why the gay gay so touchy touchy?
Well…you can hardly blame him, I suppose. This is a man whose entire career has been predicated upon the illusion of virility and youth and heterosexuality. Every queen has aging issues, and the GMD is no exception, especially now, with a fair skinned, beguiling RoboBride on his arm, it is more critical than ever to perpetuate the fraud, to say nothing of the fact that Lions for Lambs was a resounding box office bomb! Hee.
Xenu likes his Tom lean, fresh, thin, and tall(er)…with shoes lifts to assist.

1. How long should a laptop battery be charged?
You can't overcharge a laptop, the charger's or laptop's charge control system will make sure of that. So you can leave the laptop hooked up to the charger all the time when that is practical. Keeping the laptop plugged in while you use it will also maximize the long term life of the machines expensive to replace batteries.
To get the longest run time from the laptop when you can't be plugged in, fully charge the battery any time you can. The laptop will tell you when it is fully charged, usually with a simple light that comes on or turns from amber to green when the charging is complete.
2. Why is my Laptop battery self discharging?
If you are not using your laptop i.e. it is turned off, battery will keep on discharging. This is what you call stand by timing of a battery. New batteries can withstand 8–10 days without usage (as obviously they can store more charge) and old laptop batteries will discharge soon in 1–3 days (as their charge storing capacity is already less).
The discharge happens due to the internal chemical reactions in the battery. In the older batteries, these reactions are more powerful that they discharge the battery so rapidly.
One thing you can do to avoid this is do not place your laptop in places with high temperature. It will increase the discharge rate.
3. What is the best way to keep a laptop battery healthy when the laptop is plugged in all day?
Most batteries have built in battery management electronics that allow balanced charging and most systems will have a battery manager that allows you to select for maximum battery life either through software or on-board electronics and firmware. One thing that degrades batteries pretty fast is heat. ensure good ventilation ( don't keep the laptop on your mattress or your lap ) and don't leave the laptop in a hot car or in direct sunlight for extended periods. Avoid deep discharging the battery and switch to mains as soon as you hit 25 % or so. Some battery managers allow you to limit maximum charge to 70 % to extend battery life but you will have to deal with the reduced runtime when you cannot charge it. For example MY precision 7710 has a utility called the Dell Command - Power manager that will reduce the charging cycle to one time per day and restrict maximum charge to 70 % or so to prolong battery life. Check your laptop manufacturers recommendations and also laptop forums for more information.
If your System manufacturer does not support advanced charge routines, unless you want to pull out your batter at 60 % and store it to extend its life, there isn't much you can do to retain full capacity beyond a few initial months. If you are prepared to pull the battery and run off mains supply, why bother about the battery life ?
4. Is it OK to use our laptop when it is charging? Does it kill the laptop battery?
It's totally fine. The only thing that wears the battery is using it. If the laptop is plugged in, you aren't using the battery, so you're reducing wear on the laptop.
People have a lot of crazy ideas about how to make their batteries last longer. It's all nonsense. Laptops use lithium ion batteries that work exactly as you would expect. Keep the battery charged, avoid using the battery when you could be plugged in, and quit worrying about it. Anything you do will have a tiny tiny effect on the overall life of your battery.
Older types of batteries like lead acid (car batteries) or nickel metal hydride do have some weird properties to accommodate. For example, someone told me that laptop batteries wear out by being drained all the way. That's lead acid batteries. Not true for laptops. You might also hear about "memory" of the battery, where the first time you use it you have to charge it all the way up, then drain it all the way. That's nickel metal hydride. Not true at all for laptops.

Astronomers have come up with a livability index for alien planets and moons, and the winners are ... Titan in our own solar system, and the Gliese 581 planets in the extrasolar league.
Rating systems for Earthlike and habitable planets may not make much difference now, but the developers of the Earth Similarity Index and the Planet Habitability Index say they could be crucial in the years ahead.
"With a new generation of telescopes and missions on the way, the discovery of many more exoplanets can be expected," they write in a paper to be published in the December issue of the journal Astrobiology. "That, in turn, will drive the need for a classification scheme for assigning astrobiological potential for exoplanets based on estimates derived from quantitative data of their probability for supporting life."
If such a scheme could truly reflect whether or not a given planetary environment is habitable, that could drive the priorities for exploration in our own solar system, as well as high-resolution observations of extrasolar systems.
Habitability indexes have been in the works for at least the past couple of years. Traditionally, astrobiologists have focused on three conditions that appear essential for life on Earth: organic compounds, the presence of liquid water, and an energy source such as the sun or undersea volcanoes. But in the search for alien Earths, those conditions aren't easily determined, and they may even be irrelevant.
The newly proposed indexes take a two-track approach to the classification challenge.
"The first question is whether Earthlike conditions can be found on other worlds, since we know empirically that those conditions could harbor life," Dirk Schulze-Makuch, an astrobiologist at Washington State University who is one of the study authors, said in a news release. "The second question is whether conditions exist on exoplanets that suggest the possibility of other forms of life, whether known to us or not."
The Earth Similarity Index looks at the size, density and orbital distance of a planet or moon, as well as the size and temperature of its parent star, and compares those parameters with Earth's. Earth has the maximum global ESI of 1. Mars has a 0.70 rating, and Mercury is the next on the list with 0.60. For what it's worth, the dwarf planet Pluto and Neptune's moon Triton register a measly 0.075 and 0.074, respectively. And Enceladus, the icy Saturnian moon that is thought to harbor a subsurface ocean and perhaps life, is right down there with them at 0.094.
Looking beyond the solar system, the researchers worked up ESI values for a variety of extrasolar planets. The top finishers were Gliese 581g (whose existence is in dispute) with 0.89, and Gliese 581d with 0.74.
But that's just the first part of the job: The researchers' Planet Habitability Index looks at a different set of factors: Does the planet have a rocky or frozen surface? Is there an atmosphere, and how thick is it? How about a magnetic field? How much energy is available, either through tidal flexing or from the parent star? Could there be organics present, and is a liquid solvent available for chemical interactions?
By those measures, Earth has a relative PHI of 0.96, which is nearly as close as you can get to the maximum of 1. Based on what's known about the rest of the solar system, the runner-up is not Mars, as you might expect, but the Saturnian moon Titan (0.64 vs. 0.59 for Mars). The Jovian moon Europa is next on the list (0.47), but Enceladus (0.35) ranks lower than Venus, Jupiter and Saturn (0.37).
The authors stress that expectations based on earthly life may not apply to extraterrestrial environments.
"Habitability in a wider sense is not necessarily restricted to water as a solvent or to a planet circling a star," they write. "For example, the hydrocarbon lakes on Titan could host a different form of life. Analog studies in hydrocarbon environments on Earth, in fact, clearly indicate that these environments are habitable in principle. Orphan planets wandering free of any central star could likewise conceivably feature conditions suitable for some form of life."
So how does the Gliese 581 system's PHI look? Gliese 581g's value was estimated at 0.45, 581d registered 0.43, and 581c came in at 0.41. By that scale, the chances of finding life in a red-dwarf system 20.5 light-years away (or sustaining life if we ever get there) are about as good as they are for Europa. OK, but not great.
It's important to keep a couple of things in mind about this research: First of all, there's a fair amount of speculation about the various factors and their relative value for habitability. Further observations may shift the values for those factors, as well as the mathematical formula into which they're fed.
Perhaps more importantly, the numbers game can't take the place of actual observation and exploration. The ESI and PHI may well turn out to be thought experiments like the Drake Equation, which takes your assumptions about a variety of cosmic factors (How many planets like Earth come into existence every year? How likely is it that intelligent civilizations arise on alien Earths? How long do they last?) and turns them into a number. At least that's the message from David Morrison, director of the Carl Sagan Center for the Study of Life in the Universe, headquartered at the SETI Institute in Mountain View, Calif.
Here's what Morrison told me in an email:
"Very interesting. Discussing such conceptual indexes is a good way to organize our thinking about worlds that may be suitable for life. But it doesn't actually add value, in my opinion. For the Earth Similarity Index, we already have thought that liquid water, and a solid surface, and enough gravity to hold on to a substantial atmosphere, are important indications of habitability. Hence the interest in Earth-size planets within the habitable zone (meaning surface liquid water is possible). To go further, as by considering the composition of the atmosphere, we are quickly into the effort to identify life by its chemical signatures, not just habitability. The broader habitability index in also interesting, but we just don't know how to define habitability. And if Titan is an example, we may never have the data on exoplanets that could distinguish the hydrocarbon liquid lakes that we see on Titan.
"Bottom line: This (like the Drake Equation) is a good teaching tool. It helps is to organize our thoughts. But I doubt it will be very useful as a research tool, because we know so little about what properties truly define habitability. Without a much better idea of what alien life is like, we don't know how to define habitability. And probably nature is much more creative than we can imagine."

It's official: Spring is coming soon!
February 25, 2014 at 10:30 am smithsoniangardens 2 comments
One of the most glorious harbingers of spring, Hamamelis x intermedia 'Arnold Promise' is in full glorious bloom in the Mary Livingston Ripley Garden. The blooming of the Witch hazels is a sure sign that the end of this dreadful winter is near.
You cannot miss these beauties—they are often referred to as trees, but in actuality they are mature shrubs. The specimens in the Ripley Garden are probably over forty years old and are about twelve feet tall and fifteen feet wide and covered in small golden spider-like flowers. What I find so magical is that the flowers will curl the petals up on a cold day and unfurl once again when the sun hits them. Although they look dainty, they are built for cold temperatures. I have often seen them blooming while covered in snow.
Oh, and did I mention the fragrance? Exquisite, dreamy sweetness. The entire south end of the garden is perfumed.
Also in bloom, but a little more subtle:
-A couple of newly-planted Adonis amurensis have recently bloomed. Golden two-inch flowers peak out just above the soil on naked stems. After the flowers start fading the lacy foliage will emerge for a few months then go dormant in the summer.
-Dainty little yellow Eranthus hyemalis—this ground-hugging Winter aconite looks like little yellow bubbles above a ruff of foliage. The "bubbles" are actually the five-petaled flowers curled up before they fully open.
-The first signs of Daffodil 'Rinjvelt's Early Sensation' –not a prize daffodil, but one of the earliest, so thus it is very special to me!
-And a few Crocus tommasinianus, the sweet, self-sowing, little 'Tommy Crocus' which I have planted under a mature Harry Lauder's walking stick (Corylus avellana).
Come on out – I am sure every day something new will be emerging from a snowy slumber. We will post more photos of the Ripley Garden soon.
-Janet Draper, Smithsonian Gardens horticulturist
Did I jinx myself by saying that I had seen the Witch hazel in the snow? Guess what is happening in Washington, D.C. right now?. Yep, More snow. YUCK. (But, I must confess, right now it is pretty magical out there.)
Just of few things that caught my eye:

Difference between revisions of "Nin.com"
From NinWiki
Latest revision as of 21:44, 17 February 2020
nin.com is the official website for Nine Inch Nails. It has had a long and storied history. It went live in 1999 and the first Halo to mention it was The Fragile.
During the Fragility period, nin.com was designed with backgrounds and art in the style of the album artwork created by David Carson. The site contained journal entries which were posted on the site by Rob Sheridan, who had been newly hired to update and organize the site, detailing the progress of recording the album, as well as a discussion board. Sound loops from the songs "Starfuckers, Inc." and "The Day The World Went Away" were posted on the site prior to the release of The Fragile and are available here. Images, backgrounds, sound files and screen shots of this version of nin.com have been archived at The NIN Hotline here. A huge and very detailed chronological archive on everything related to nin.com from this period can be found here and here. As best as possible restored versions of the different versions of nin.com during that time can be found here, here, here, here and here
Fragile-era nin.com screen-shots:
pre-With Teeth
From 2003 onwards, prior to the release of With Teeth, nin.com had a sparse and minimalist layout with a plain white background and black smudged typewriter font. The site contained a "Current" section that was updated occasionally with photos and information on the progress of the album, a "Body of Work" section with information on each of the Halos and a visuals section with music videos available for viewing. A Q&A section titled Access was also a feature of the site where members of NIN answered user submitted questions. A huge and very detailed chronological archive on everything related to nin.com from this period can be found here. As best as possible restored versions of the different iterations of nin.com during that time can be found here, here, here, here and here.
With Teeth
In 2005 for the release of With Teeth, nin.com was updated with a front page with links to purchase the album and watch "The Hand That Feeds" video. Viral teaser trailers were also hidden pages on the site, named with lines from songs that would appear on the album.Later, the front page was changed to display photos taken at various destinations on the With Teeth Tour, and called the site "nin.com V6". The pages of the site which had previously had blank backgrounds were changed to With Teeth-style art and the font was also changed. A blog section titled "TR" was added, where Trent would post comments and messages. The Access section continued to be updated by Reznor, with Aaron North and Jerome Dillon answering a set of questions, titled "part one", however, due to Dillon's departure from the band, it was to be the last time the section was updated. The site also contained a downloads section containing desktop backgrounds. All With Teeth-related pages except the nin.com/visuals page have been removed as of March 24, 2008. All With Teeth-era videos, trailers and downloads can be found here. As best as possible restored versions of the different iterations of nin.com during that time can be found here, here, here, here.
Year Zero
Following the release of Year Zero, nin.com was updated to V6.9 with a YZ-themed background and font. All previous pages, apart from Performance and Merch were deleted, leaving a basic front page with a photo on. As the Performance 2007 tour began, more pages were added to the site, including a page written in Russian, a page in Chinese and a page in Korean, added as the band performed in the countries for the first time. Links to the Year Zero site and NIN's official youtube account were also added, the former is where live performance videos and video diaries have been uploaded. A photo blog was also added to the front page and updated several times a day during the tour. At present, the band are back in the studio and the front page of nin.com is updated periodically with messages from Trent, photos and Youtube videos showing work in the studio. Additionally, site visitors may comment on the current picture. As best as possible restored versions of the different iterations of nin.com during that time can be found here and here.
Here is the archive of all images posted on the 6.9 version of nin.com:
july 2007 :: august 2007 :: september 2007 :: december 2007 :: january/february 2008 :: Current
Ghosts I–IV
On announcement and immediate release of the new album, Ghosts I–IV, in March 2008, the site was altered so that it had an album-themed design. The site still contains links to all Year Zero pages as well as an additional Ghosts I–IV player and a link to the new official NIN flickr page and a page containing RSS feeds. A reconstructed page of this version of nin.com can be viewed here.
Here is the archive of all images posted on the Ghosts version of nin.com:
April 2008 :: Current
The Slip
After the digital release of The Slip in May 2008, the site was updated with a new album-themed design. As the new tour kicked off, the nin.com photoblog continued. The complete archive of photoblog images and posts can be found here. A reconstructed page of this version of nin.com can be viewed here. Following are some of the photographs that were posted to the front page:
July 2008 :: Current
The Slip-themed design of the site continued to be updated to the nin.com 7.0 layout; beginning on the 14th of August 2008 when Spiral and ETS members were informed by Rob Sheridan that a new beta of the site would be up shortly. The links to the new site were soon announced with a forum, IRC chat and links hinting to future updates to the site. Subsequently, on the 3rd of September 2008, nin.com publicly launched the beta, with anyone who has a nin.com account able to use it, completely free, including full use of the forums, IRC chat, all sub-sites and a comprehensive links page, linking all official and non-official nin pages from the ninternet. Here is the official welcome message originally posted on nin.com by Trent Reznor:
"Welcome to the beginning of the new nin.com! There's a lot of new stuff here we've been working on for quite some time and MUCH more coming over the next few weeks. We're aiming to create the ultimate community and resource for all things related to nine inch nails. Be sure to register to create your own profile and take full advantage of what's here - it's 100% free and will remain that way.
Early 2010
Beginning on February 9th 2010, photos titled "?" started being posted daily on the nin.com photoblog and then linked to via twitter and facebook. These photos may or may not be related to the How To Destroy Angels project.
Hesitation Marks
The 7.0 layout from Fall 2008 continued into the first half of 2013. In February when a new tour was announced, the site gained a simple no-frills black intro page with a graphic containing the NIN logo and the text 'nine inch nails' and 'twenty thirteen'. After clicking through to the main page, the 7.0 theme was still present. This layout continued until June, when Hesitation Marks was formally announced. It was then updated with visuals relating to that album. Links to the forum and the original user-populated photo/video sections were not present. A new fan content area for photo/video uploads was added to the tour.nin.com section in October. In 2014, the main page was set up to accommodate a feed from the official NIN tumblr account. As the tour progressed, a photo from each city would also display at the top of the page, much like what was done during the With Teeth tour.
In December 2016, a fresh version of nin.com was launched with the announcement of Not The Actual Events. This time, a very clean minimalist approach was taken, with an all-white background, NIN logo and short menu on the left, and news items taking up the majority of the main space, per usual. The forums and user-populated media sections were not present. The refresh was designed by The Creative Corporation[1] with input from new NIN art director John Crawford. Sub-sites of nin.com became dead links and it is not currently known if some of them may eventually return.
Over the years, nin.com has had various sub-sites to coincide with releases. Here is a list of all sites linked with nin.com:

Game 15: Texas at Toronto pregame
Walked into the Jays' clubhouse this afternoon and Alex Rios and Vernon Wells were yucking it up over at Rios' locker, watching a video clip of a Wells interview that has been making its way around the internet. I'm sure you can find it if you're really interested.
I'm sure there are some who are going to try to turn this into some sort of controversy — some reporters were even whispering about it and chasing after Wells and Hill today. I mean, sure, it was a tad risky for Wells to say some of the things he said, but c'mon, it was all in good-natured fun and it's Wells doing his typical deadpan routine.
Hill and Wells are good buddies and it was just a joke. No big deal. I told Wells today I had a good laugh over it and he cracked up. This reminds me of when Frank Thomas slammed a kid with a pillow in a Blue Jays commercial. A lot of people here were up in arms over it. It was all in good fun and some people overreacted. Anyways…
On to other items…
Lineup below look familiar? That's because it's the sixth time Cito has used this one this season. It's a much different feeling than when John Gibbons ran the show, mixing and matching the lineup on a daily basis. The hitters definitely like the lineup stability, and why change it while it's working?
Gaston was also asked today about leaving Marco Scutaro in at shortstop in close and late situations this season. Last year, John McDonald was turned to as a defensive replacement in late innings. This year, McDonald has been rarely used — mostly as a pinch runner. Cito said last year it was more because David Eckstein was at short.
"I think that was the case last year, when Ecks was here," said Gaston, who added that he believes Scutaro is underrated defensively. "Scutaro's a great shortstop, too, so there's no need to bring in Mac so far to do that. I'm pretty sure that was the only reason I did it last year, when Ecks was at shortstop."
Today's lineups:
1. Ian Kinsler, 2B
2. Michael Young, 3B
3. Josh Hamilton, CF
4. Hank Blalock, DH
5. Marlon Byrd, LF
6. Nelson Cruz, RF
7. Chris Davis, 1B
8. Jarod Saltalamacchia, C
9. Elvis Andrus, SS
Starter: RHP Brandon McCarthy (1-0)
1. Marco Scutaro, SS

LOL!!!!!!!!! that vid is awesome!!!!!!!!
Let the guys have fun! People take things too seriously sometimes! Great Video!
6 hits in the first game against Oakland, 7 hits over 12 innings in the second game, 5 hits in the third game and only 6 through 7 tonight. Offense seems to be slowing down! Has Wells had a meaningful hit all season? His homers and RBIs always seem to come when the team is way ahead, otherwise he pops up or strikes out. Why does he have normally terrible starts? Because everyone is close to the leaders in April. In June when the Jays are 10 games out, he heats up. He can't handle the pressure. By the way Rios has had one decent season in the Bigs, like Hinske, Sprague, and many others. He is a rally killer.
CBS) A Tampa-area high school pitcher threw his way into the state record books, pitching a fourth straight no-hitter Monday, reports CBS affiliate WTSP.
Patrick Schuster, a senior at Mitchell high school in New Port Richey, Fla., struck out 17 Pasco batters Monday in the 5-0 victory. He broke a 24-year-old state record held by Ben Webb, who threw three straight no-hitters for Gonzales Tate High School in 1985.
During his streak, Schuster has recorded 60 strikeouts and now has 30 straight hitless innings as the Mustangs wrapped up a regular-season district championship.
After the final strike, an apparent slider that froze freshman Trejon Smith, Schuster pumped his arms in the air as his teammates rushed the mound.
"It hasn't hit me yet," said Schuster, according to the Tampa Bay Tribune. "I was trying so hard not to think about it. I told my outfielders the last two innings, 'Please, just come in. I don't want to give up a bloop hit. That would be the worst way to end it.' I'm still on cloud nine right now."
Schuster is committed to the University of Florida Gators. His time in the national spotlight will continue while he chases the national high school record of six consecutive no-hitters.
didn't care for vernon wells interview AT ALL, goes along with what i think of him as a player and tonight's display.
I thought Vernon's u-tube is extremely poor taste and offensive. Neither of these two guys will be ball players for ever, but this u-tube video now will be.
After watching the US presidential cycle and seeing the harm made of stitching sound and video bites together from u-tube videos, Vernon should know better.
It shows all too well, Vernon's lack of judgment and maturity and if I was Vernon, I'd make sure it was taken down immediately and apologize to Hill and Cito for his childish attempt at humor.
Lighten up you guys!!! If any of you have acutally been apart of a team sport you will know that ribbing and makeing fun of eachother is what takes place on a team. This is Wells just having fun with a reporter that obviously isn't to be taken seriously.
You know a team is tight when you can make fun of eachother, if guys are walking around all serious all the time then I would suspect they don't interact and play around with their teammates enough. Or they simply don't get along well enough to poke fun at eachother. A tight team is a team that can say anything to eachother including calling the other guy "racist".
I have been part of numerous team sports, including baseball for a long time so make no assumptions without asking the question.
Ribbing is part of the process, no doubt, BUT putting it on u-tube is a whole new dimension and it never goes away. What they say and do in the club house is part of the game and that's where it should stay.
I, for one, don't see anything wrong with this video. In fact I think it's quite funny. It's nice to see athletes letting loose once in a while and having some fun with each other. There is nothing offensive about it.
Vernon Wells has been in the media for many years now, and I think he knows better than any of us what is appropriate to say in front of the camera, and how far he can push things. Obviously the interview wasn't very serious to begin with judging by the way the girl was conducting it.
Here's to a fun tight clubhouse!
I had no problems with it. I thought the best part was as soon as he mentioned that Hill is a racist you can see him trying to hold back a smirk….classic. So what if it's seen forever, 15 years from now Wells will be retired and no one will give a d@mn anymore. It was made to get a laugh and it did the job in my opinion, in fact i'd like Hill to make one of his own now.
Also, no one seems to be bringing up the fact that the woman used a word that's considered racist too so why is it just Wells that's being targeted for the "childish attempt" at humour ?

The next generation of the Acura MDX SUV will be previewed at the Detroit auto show in January. Acura released a teaser sketch of the concept on Wednesday and said it will use "aero sculpture" design language. The sketch shows a vehicle that is more rounded than the current MDX.
Expect the redesigned MDX to arrive this fall as a 2014 model. It will continue to use the platform it shares with the Honda Pilot and Odyssey. It will use the V6 engine from Honda's new Earth Dreams family, expected to produce about 310-hp and also used in the Acura TL.

After enjoying Jaap van Zweden's fine performance of Bruckner's 8th Symphony with the Dallas Symphony at Myerson Hall earlier this year I was excited to get hold of these Japanese imports from the little known Exton label. All three discs are hybrid CD-SACDs of studio recordings made at Hilversum in the Netherlands and then mixed and mastered in Japan. The Netherlands Radio Symphony, usually overshadowed by its near neighbour the Concertgebouw, reveals itself to be a fine Bruckner orchestra, and the two of the three discs, the 4th and the 7th, confirmed my initial impression of van Zweden as a superb Brucknerian. The 9th is a more workmanlike performance, but with some fine moments.
Van Zweden plays the 1880 version of the 4th Symphony, which to my mind is completely misrepresented by Bruckner's own program notes with their references to medieval towns, gates opening, knights on proud horses, and so on. What emerges so nicely from this performance is the sense of mystery that permeates the first two movements. The chamber-music like sections in the first movement are brought out with fine woodwind playing and a very well-judged dialog across the orchestra. The dialog continues in the Adagio, which is played with grace and delicacy, even in the funeral march, which on occasion comes close to breaking into a dance. In the Scherzo mystery is replaced by drive and momentum, with some brief interludes in the Trio. There is no question about the destination – the horn calls at the start of the Finale. The overwhelming impression from the Finale is self-assurance, with the bucolic moments lacking the fragility of their Mahlerian counterparts. All in all, a very satisfying performance.
In the 7th Symphony, van Zweden succeeds in bringing out the organic unity of the score. For example, the cantabile section at more or less the midpoint of the movement is perfectly paced, leading up to the force of the C minor section. The inner logic of the movement emerges very clearly, and the closing bars of the first movement have a real sense of inevitability about them. The overall architecture is also dominant in the Adagio, although here van Zweden allows a greater degree of dynamic contrast (e.g. in the transition to the second thematic group and then back to the first group – as well as in the reintroduction of the main theme at the start of the great crescendo). The resplendent climax, with full percussion, gives way to a well-paced and clearly articulated coda. The Scherzo seems to lack edge initially, but grows more urgent after the Trio. Conductor and orchestra bring out the structural and thematic complexity of the final movement, in a fine end to another very strong and recommended performance.
The 9th Symphony, however, was rather less satisfying. I found that the performance of the opening movement failed to bring out its large-scale structure, with the climax in the coda seeming rather disconnected from what has gone before. The Scherzo and Trio are more four-square than demonic, obscuring the symphony's inner momentum. The Adagio is much more compelling, however, as van Zweden offers a much clearer sense of the different elements of Bruckner's very complex composition (e.g. the return of the first theme at around 8'40" and the return of the chorale at 17'). Where the first movement seems to meander, here there is much more of a sense of graduate progression, building to the magnificently dissonant climax. The conflict and dissonance dissolve in the coda. But, despite the merits of the Adagio, the performance as a whole fails to convince.
From the point of view of the US purchaser, these are very expensive discs (with the 9th retailing at $45 on Amazon). I would recommend the 4th and the 7th for enthusiasts with fairly deep pockets. All but completists can pass on the 9th.
