Dormer S904 Series MC-X Carbide Universal 4 Flute End Mills
Introducing the Dormer's multi-application MC-X solid carbide end mills cutters that are manufactured from micro-grain, high-quality carbide to provide increased hardness and toughness for excellent wear-resistance and long tool life. The flute geometry of the 4 flute cutters is capable of contouring (semi-finishing and finishing), profile milling, ramping and slotting operations. All the cutters are centre cutting and have a robust chamfer design on the end teeth to reduce chipping, particularly important on materials with low machinability. As the MC-X cutters are multi-application one tool can be used in many different materials, which helps to further reduce costs and inventory. Flutes designed for optimum tool life, good swarf evacuation and continuous, trouble-free machining operation.
Dormer S904 series MC-X Carbide 4 Flute End Mills are available in a range of sizes from 2 mm to 20 mm:
S904 CARBIDE End Mill 2.0 mm - 666-6681

Features and Benefits:
Micrograin carbide, with high hardness and toughness properties, for excellent wear resistance and long tool life
Reinforced end teeth to reduce chipping, particularly important on materials with low machinability
Flutes designed for good swarf evacuation and a continuous, trouble-free machining operation
30º right-hand helix
Stable design for contouring (semi-finishing and finishing), ramping and slotting operations
Bright finished surface
Multi-application – one tool for milling in many materials, with the added benefit of reduced inventory
Approvals and Certification:
Shank - DIN6535 HA
Typical Applications:
The end mill removes material by their movement within the milling machine or from the cutters shape. The number of flutes (spirals on the end mill) give different results e.g.:
2 flute design allows for more chip carrying capacity and is used primarily in slotting and pocketing non-ferrous materials
3 flute design have the same flute space as two flutes, but also have a larger cross-section for greater strength. They are used for pocketing and slotting ferrous and nonferrous materials.
4, 5, 6 and 8 flute designs allow for faster feed rates, but due to the reduced flute space, chip removal may be a problem. They produce a much finer finish than two and three flute tools. Ideal for peripheral and finish milling.
End mills are used for:
side milling
face milling,
tracer milling,
plunge milling
What is this end mill made from?
The MC-X series end mills from Dormer are manufactured from a high-quality carbide.
Are carbide end mills better than HSS?
Carbide end mills provide better rigidity and can be run 2-3X faster than HSS.

The following question came to me earlier as a "side question"; something I'd like to know, but which is not totally necessary for what I'm thinking about or doing:
Consider the genus 32 curve $X_0(389)$, and denote its Jacobian variety as $J_0(389)$.
I am interested in finding an upper bound for the Mordell-Weil rank of $J_0(389)(\mathbb{Q}(i))$.
After thinking about this for some time, I turned to Google, which threw up [1]. Apparently, assuming the Birch-Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture, there is an absolute constant $C > 0$ such that for all primes $q$ sufficiently large, we have
$ \mbox{rank } J_0(q)(\mathbb{Q}) \leq C \mbox{ dim} J_0(q) $.
[Ideally this equation would be in the center]
The point of that paper is to show that $C = 6.5$ will do (existence of $C$ having been proved in an earlier paper by the same authors), but, "assuming [also] the Riemann Hypothesis for automorphic $L$-functions, Iwaniec, Luo and Sarnak have recently proved that one could take $C = \frac{99}{100}$".
Now I reckon 389 is "sufficiently large", which means (if you believe those conjectures) an upper bound for the rank over $\mathbb{Q}$ is 31. But this feels like it is way too big, maybe because there are generally so few rational points on modular curves.
Does anyone know how to get a better upper bound? Or am I wrong in hoping for a smaller upper bound?
Furthermore, since I'm interested in $\mathbb{Q}(i)$-rank, there is the following:
What is the biggest the rank can jump by when going from $J_0(389)(\mathbb{Q})$ to $J_0(389)(\mathbb{Q}(i))$?
I guess this last question can be asked in greater generality, replacing the Js with any abelian variety $A/\mathbb{Q}$. Can the rank jump be arbitrarily large when passing from $\mathbb{Q}$ to $\mathbb{Q}(i)$? Or is there a bound in terms of the dimension of $A$, say?
It's my bedtime now, so I'll pick this thread up in 9 or so hours.

Long overdue I know, but as I always say, I am posting this for my memory :)
We only confirmed that the Halloween party here would push through one week before October 31. We weren't ready, we didn't even have a costume for little K. We bought some candies and cookies for the loot bags. For the loot bags, I just bought some brown paper bags and accentuated them with orange and black art paper. Too bad I was not able to take a better picture of the bags ready to be given away during the trick or treat.
For Abi's costume, as you all know by now, we just bought a headband with tiger ears and wore it with her yellow dress. I am so glad that she was okay with something on her head :)
Like last year, we invited Tori over to join us. She arrived with her Mom and Dad, Lolo and Lola and Mamadz. We had a separate and small party at home! :) Mommy Ellen cooked some Ginataang Bilobilo, yummy!
The party at the clubhouse started with the pabitin for kids younger than two years old. I was able to grab some for Abi but my yellow cub got upset with all the noise!
Tori on the other hand got upset about another kid's scary costume that we just decided to stay on the sidelines, by the pool and play ;)
While the rest of the kids ate merienda, we waited at home for the trick or treating to start. Ours is usually the second unit kids go to, so we know we won't miss the call for house-hopping :) The boys played RockBand Beatles while we waited.
And then when the sun started to set, we heard the kids running outside. It was time to get loots! :) Mommy took care of giving away our loot bags while we went around to fill our bag!
We ended the day by sharing a nice dinner of Teriyaki Pork & Chicken and some buttered vegetables. It was a tiring yet fun day. We'll do it again next year! :)

We are nearing the end of the first week and have made some progress!
The beam we thought was load-bearing and wasn't, has presented us with another challenge.
To build it back up with a 2x4 makes it too narrow to match the wall it attaches to, and it is too narrow to attach the pendant lights the way we planned.
To build it up with a 1x6 would accommodate the pendants but require us to build up the opposing wall to match, pushing all the cabinets down the wall.
Thankfully I am married to an electrical engineer who suggested using just one transformer for the three lights, instead of trying to accommodate for one for each. It will work, and the details- well, I don't really get it. What I have explained is about what I "get"... lol
The drywall has been replaced and patched, outlets and switch boxes put in, the sitting room wall has been sanded and patched where the chair rail was removed.
You can see the red on the walls here- the paint store matched the colour of my new stove and we will paint that long wall red. We have chosen a taupe colour for what of the kitchen wall will show, and a chocolate brown (to match my chair) to paint the bookcases and fireplace mantle.
It's looking so much better with stuff patched and sanded.
Amy and I had to take another trip up to the granite place yesterday to choose the slab I like best to put on the island portion of the counter. The granite is called Golden Ray and is gorgeous- I can't wait to see it installed!
This photo makes it look like there is some greenish colour in it, but you don't see that in person. In any case, there is lots of movement and interest in this, and I am sure however it gets laid out will be beautiful.
They have started patching the floor where necessary and tomorrow is set aside for finishing the drywall- plus whatever else crops up, I guess.
The cabinets were delivered this morning and the garage is full of huge cardboard boxes! They are due to be installed on Monday and then they will template the granite on Wednesday, assuming that everything goes according to plan... lol
I will keep you updated- in between trying to stay on top of this horrible dust mess that is EVERYWHERE!!!

British giant G4S, the world's largest security firm, has announced plans to withdraw its business in Israel within the next 12 to 24 months.
The plans have set a landmark victory for Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement (BDS), after four-year-long global campaigns to pressure the British company to end trades with Israel.
In a recent public statement, BDS says G4S has lost millions of dollars in contracts with more than a dozen countries as a result of BDS campaigns against their roles in providing equipment for Israeli checkpoints, illegal settlements, and incarceration facilities.
The announcement to pull out of their controversial business in Israel came after a plunge in revenues and intensive protests against the firm's activities in the region.
G4S plans to close its entire business in Israel, which employs 8,000 people with an estimated turnover of $143m, the Financial Times reported.
Public institutions, student unions, private businesses, UN bodies, and several local councils are among those who decided to end their contracts with G4S, following the campaign pressure.
In 2014, the Bill Gates Foundation divested its $170m stake from G4S, after protests at its offices in Seattle, London and Johannesburg. UNHCR and UNICEF offices in Jordan are also among G4S' lost clients, after their decisions to terminate contracts with the British firm just earlier this month.
"As at the height of the international boycott of apartheid South Africa, BDS pressure is making some of the world's largest corporations realize that profiting from Israeli apartheid and colonialism is bad for business," said Mahmoud Nawajaa, a spokesperson for the Palestinian BDS National Committee.
According to BDS, G4S has long track records of their complicity in human rights abuses, not just in Palestine but also in prisons and detention centers across the US, the UK and South Africa.
A report by the Israeli Occupation Industry alleges the British security firm of providing security system for Israel's major prisons and compounds in the West Bank and Gaza, including Ktziot, Ofer, or Hasharon compound, where thousands of Palestinian political prisoners are interrogated and imprisoned every year.
"This latest news from G4S is welcome but it has no immediate effect on those facing serious human rights violations inside Israel's prisons today", Nawajaa added.
BDS says it will continue to boycott G4S until it completely exits from the Israel's market as G4S is infamous for breaking pledges in ending its trades with Israel over the past few years.
Until then, campaigns against the British giant remain a "high BDS priority".
Prior to G4S, a number of multinational corporates have also ended their business in Israel as a response to BDS pressure. This includes French firms Veolia, telecom company Orange and Ireland's biggest company CRH.
G4S' announcement to extract its work in Israel came after the UK's controversial decision to ban publicly funded institutions from boycotting Israeli products last month.

What do a raccoon and a possum have to do with a 7-cent increase in the wholesale price of gasoline on the West Coast?
As perhaps the most egregious example thus far of just how skittery these markets are, on the night of March 5, at two different locations in the Los Angeles area, within an hour of each other, two hapless animals set off this chain of events:
- The possum, which got fried in the process, caused a power interruption at a California Edison electrical substation.
- The raccoon, which also got cooked, interrupted power at an L.A. Water and Power substation.
- Those events disrupted operations for about two hours at an Exxon Mobil refinery and about 10 seconds (yep, that's right: 10 seconds) at a Shell Oil Co. refinery.
- Next morning, news of the brief refinery disruptions pushed wholesale gasoline prices up 7 cents a gallon.
Talk about chaos theory at work!
However bad we in the Mid-South have had it with a 40-cent rise in gasoline prices over the past few weeks, Californians have really felt the pain, with prices well over $3 per gallon (San Francisco had the nation's highest price at more than $3.70). Analysts are predicting that $3-and-up will be commonplace around the country as the summer driving season sets in.
This at a time when crude oil prices have been falling and OPEC ministers have been wringing their hands over declines in their zillion-dollar revenues.
The problem, we're told once again, lies with refineries. There's not enough capacity to meet constantly-growing demand, even when everything's running at better than 95 percent. When there are shutdowns — as there have been recently due to switching over to summer-grade fuels, equipment maintenance, and fires and other accidents — supplies get tight and prices go up.
Heaven help us all if a major disaster, such as a hurricane or a terrorist act, gets tossed into the equation.
There are, industry sources tell us, about 150 refineries in 33 states, the majority located in coastal areas. While capacity has been expanded at many existing sites, no new ground-up refinery has been built in the U.S. since 1976.
Oil companies have closed nearly 25 refineries since 1995, representing almost 1 million barrels per day. This, critics say, has enabled them to keep a tighter rein on supply … and price.
Public opposition — the Not In My Back Yard factor — and strict environmental regulations have helped thwart the building of new refineries. Some opponents of a $2.5 billion plant in a remote Arizona desert area have even lobbed charges of "environmental racism," whatever that is.
But a corollary result of extremely tight capacity has been that refineries have turned into cash cows for the oil companies. "They're making money hand over fist and crying all the way to the bank," one industry analyst says. He adds, "If you think it's bad now, you can't believe how high prices would go if a major chunk of refining capacity were taken out for a lengthy period."

LuaLua earns Seagulls a point
Substitute Kazenga LuaLua secured a point for Brighton as Charlton twice threw away the lead to draw 2-2.
The Addicks were leading through goals from Lawrie Wilson and Bradley Pritchard, either side of Craig Mackail-Smith's strike.
But eight minutes after climbing off the bench former Newcastle winger LuaLua marked his first appearance since October with the equaliser.
Both sets of fans joined in a minute's applause at 3.07pm to commemorate the moment Colin Walsh hit the net 20 years ago this week, Charlton's first goal since they returned to their Valley ground after a seven-year absence.
And two minutes later the home fans were cheering again when Dale Stephens whipped in a cross which flew in at the far post with Wilson claiming the final touch.
It could have got worse for Brighton but Tomasz Kuszczak palmed Rob Hulse's header over and from the resulting corner, Michael Morrison headed too high.
But the visitors responded well and should have equalised when Mackail-Smith found Gordon Greer in front of goal, only for the defender to scoop his effort over from all of four yards out.
Moments later Charlton goalkeeper Ben Hamer pulled off a fine save to keep out Stephen Dobbie's volley.
But the leveller came in the 28th minute when Morrison made a mess of his clearing header and Mackail-Smith nipped in to tuck away his 10th goal of the season.
Brighton were still in the ascendancy after the break and Hamer parried a fierce drive from Will Buckley before Dobbie fired wide.
Dobbie was left kicking the post in frustration just before the hour mark after wasting another good chance.
Dean Hammond slipped in Buckley to cut the ball back for the former Swansea striker, who slid in to meet the ball but lifted it over the top.
Will Hoskins then teed up Buckley for another crack at goal but his shot was also too high, before Mackail-Smith had an effort deflected wide.
Charlton had hardly troubled Kuszczak since their goal, but with their first genuine chance of the second half they went ahead again.
Johnnie Jackson's low cross ricocheted through the Brighton defence and Pritchard was on hand to sweep the ball into the net for his first league goal.
But three minutes later LuaLua grabbed a point for the Seagulls when his deflected shot wrong-footed Hamer and crashed into the net.

We don't say of all time with a light heart, but truly, these are the worst wedding photos of all time. Did a child take them? An elephant? A ghost? Every single one is godawful in its own godawful way.
An unlucky UK couple will have to rely on these hilariously terrible snaps to conjure memories of their special day, taken by a photography firm that's now out of business. The Telegraph reports the pictures "were also taken without flash because one of the photographers complained about being epileptic." The ol' epileptic photographer card! A likely story.
So then, which is the absolute worst of the worst?
Is it this mushy celebration of white fabric poltergeists?
A group shot with nobody looking in the same direction?
An awkwardly distant shot of the couple looking like they're celebrating a divorce?
This cake-cutting noise fest?
Or the bride exiting the room near some fire extinguishers?
At any rate, the album is either the most shocking display of photographic ineptitude we've ever seen, or a masterwork of trolling. At least the worst part of their marriage is out of the way. [Telegraph via PetaPixel]

U of A researchers back to work; university unclear on back pay
The University of Arkansas said 19 workers who were furloughed will be back to work now that the government shutdown is over.
Administrators said they were not sure if any of them will get back pay, similar to the arrangement for federal employees.
Vice Provost Jim Rankin said they are looking for ways to safeguard this from happening again. Rankin was part of the team that determined which employees would not be able to work.
He said the shutdown forced the university into some uncharted territory, "We've already gone through the exercise once. We know what federal funding we have and we know who's affected. Now we can start paying attention to that and being ready in the future."
He said, it's not clear yet if the researchers furloughed at the U of A will get paid.
The university said they are working with the state to determine how much money the furloughed workers lost in the shutdown.

One Word Prompt: LEAP/LONGING.
I stood at the edge of the mountain, a mind blowing view in front of me as the clouds rolled by and I could see almost everything in the distance. It was as if I'd become one with the sky, it was as if I'd reach up I would touch heaven above. Everything was so perfect yet all I could do was miss you. I screamed from atop, your name, it crashed with the mountains and valleys below and came back with the message that you were gone. All I wanted was for clouds to wrap me up and float towards you. All I wanted was to leap from mountains to mountains and somewhere in between find you. All I wanted from the wind was to carry your scent. Such massive beauty in front of me but all I could think of was you. And in that moment I swear the mountains moved… as my heart quivered in longing towards you.

I think my freckle needs realigning. Something along the lines of what I can achieve by adjusting the rotor pitch on my mini-helicopter. My default seating position when I've the donkey's tongue is right on the money, I'm dead central. I'm Simon Hughes of the Lib Dems slap bang on the fence, yet when I've achieved evacuation I notice that I've transformed from Simon into that complete shit (pun intended) Nick Griffin resulting in one side of the chod bin compromised by having bits of cack all up it.
Just like last week I had a viewing on Saturday, this time I was notified and ensured I wasn't in when the agent came to call, and just like last week the only lasting memory my potential purchasers had after viewing the flat would've been last nights tea pebble dashed over white porcelain. It was only when I got in following a trip to B&Q to get a new showerhead and a picture frame that the 'don't forget to clean the fucking bog before you leave' mantra I'd been chanting most of the afternoon was recalled. Blast.
Work on Thursday was as awful as expected and I left feeling mildly ravaged. Luckily a few pints in the pub with Frank straightened me out followed by a fantastic film with Sean Penn (bloody underrated if you ask me, finest actor in Hollywood? Maybe) Called 'The Assassination of Richard Nixon' which I recommend without hesitation, and I awoke on Good Friday a little under the weather. I had to get out the flat as soon as I awoke to meet up with my mortgage broker to sign some paperwork which means I'm now foolishly mortgaged up to the hilt. He wasn't very impressed when, after really badgering me to sign up for critical illness cover (for which he'd have received commission) I finally informed him that 'I didn't fucking want it' and went he all stroppy for a couple of minutes like a scolded child while I sat there mentally punching the air, and his face for good measure.
Shortly after Myfwt picked me up and we went to Putney to look for some suitable accessory and what have you for her birthday next week. I've learned that unless advised I'm bloody useless at buying gifts for the opposite sex, besides, I rather enjoy shopping with her believe it or not. After a travelling most of West London I was dropped off home in time for a pint with Frank, the weather was turning for the worst, Myfwt and I had already experienced hale and now temperatures plummeted like we lived up t'North or somewhere where men walk about in subzero temperatures with shaved heads and no shirts to speak of.
Frank and I drank a few in our local toasting the passing of Jebus, the place was half dead but from our pint of view, ideal, as we could get to the bar without any obstruction or hindrance from competing punters. By the time I got home I was little tipsy, I watched a very disappointing French film (called 36, it misses the mark and has an air of misogyny about it that only the French can pass off as 'romance') whose subtitles I wound up watching by squinting through one inebriated eye before going to bed late.
Subsequently Saturday was somewhat painful, this malaise caused me to spend most of the day sat in front of my PC trying in vain to download fucking Flash Player (which has mysteriously vanished from my PC) in order to view some Strutter on Youtube, over and above this I was also trying to make some Slayer happen on my fucking MP3/mobile thing via said PC.
Fucking technology, it's all well and dandy when it works but when things don't happen as they should it's enough to result in innocent shoppers in Bluewater being randomly picked off by lone-gunmen after they've failed to post a Youtube soliloquy as to why they wouldn't trot through Bluewater picking off innocent shoppers listening to South of Heaven by Slayer on their LG Viewty which, supposedly has an MP3 feature…
If this wasn't bad enough, following the B&Q shopping trip (which was a waste of time incidentally, the showerhead is shit and the frame too small) I picked up Saturdays Guardian which features a fucking interview with that cunt Jordan. For fucks sake, what the FUCK is going on here? This harridan, this prostitute for post Orwellian society, this role-model of laziness and self-harm has maintained a presence thanks to gutter journalism and the not entirely commendable ability to remain in the public eye by exploiting herself, her disabled child and the arseholes that chose to suffer her tonesless ill-informed drone in order to drop their stinking extensions into her over active fundament. We're supposed to think she's some sort of business woman as she's accrued zillions of squids by not letting a single day of our lives pass without some sort 'news' grabbing drivel about her tits being reduced/enlarged, her husband being great/a twat, her children being disables/not disabled, her joys/fears, her knickers/her lack-of, her, books, her perfume, her business, her bloody FUCKING FACE 24 FUCKING SEVEN AND NOW, MY BROADSHEET FEATURES HER LIPLESS FIZZOG IN ALL HER PROLETARIAT GLORY BY DAVID FUCKING BAILEY IF YOU PLEASE…GAH, IF I COULD DOWN LOAD FUCKING FLASH I WOULDN'T BE TYPING LIKE THIS, FOR THE LOVE OF THE CHILDREN OF THE WORLD SOMEONE HELP ME.
So, Saturday. Rubbish frankly… (though saved somewhat by a stunning roast in the evening in which I succeeded how to make drop-dead fresh gravy AND ensure the potatoes were crisper than Robinson Crusoe's sock, actually, after that I watched Das Boot, a wonderful, Lord it was good and went to bed feeling, well, okay)
Sunday conversely was wonderful. I'd taped the Grand Prix which I watched after 9am, very disappointing, dull and not the result I'd hoped for, whilst eating Hot Cross buns at speed. I left to pick up my bro and his missus, freshly back from Kerala and all tanned up, and we travelled to my folks whilst I was regaled with hilarious diarrhoea-based tales located on boats made of coconut or something. The afternoon was wasted beautifully on lunch and niece-watching and much laughter did emanate from family Piqued, then farting. My niece can now crawl and stand which is splendid for her… though I somewhat took the joyous edge of the equation as this new found movement has resulted in archaic forms of entertainment being made redundant, for example, the 'swinging robot' (a quite violent combination of airborn staccato movements requiring sound and not insubstantial arm control) which used to illicit squeals of delight now causes unbound fear.
I met Myfwt at the flat later on and she essentially said 'hello, I'm tired' and fell asleep as I watched read, this resulted in her being awake far sooner that I on Bank Holiday Monday and I was forced to suffer second hand TV noises whilst I groaned in my pit. After breakfast we took ourselves off to rectify the shopping situation caused by Good Friday's wilful consumerism which resulted in more money being spent much to my chagrin. Can't complain though, it was all rather jolly and we ate sushi wrap in the car and everything.
The weekend ended quietly with Risotto and Cava, on a final note I don't remember seeing snow at Easter before, what the bloody hell is going on with the weather? Global warming my botty.
Shoegazing anyone?

This module defines the class ConfigParser. The ConfigParser class implements a basic configuration file parser language which provides a structure similar to what you would find on Microsoft Windows INI files. You can use this to write Python programs which can be customized by end users easily.
The configuration file consists of sections, lead by a
"[section]" header and followed by "name: value" entries,
with continuations in the style of RFC 822; "name=value" is
also accepted. Note that leading whitespace is removed from values.
The optional values can contain format strings which refer to other
values in the same section, or values in a special
DEFAULT section. Additional defaults can be provided upon
initialization and retrieval. Lines beginning with "#" or
";" are ignored and may be used to provide comments.
For example:
foodir: %(dir)s/whatever dir=frob
would resolve the "%(dir)s" to the value of "dir" ("frob" in this case). All reference expansions are done on demand.
Default values can be specified by passing them into the ConfigParser constructor as a dictionary. Additional defaults may be passed into the get() method which will override all others.

Great Lakes researchers meet at University of Michigan
Great Lakes Futures Project looked at forces that will affect lakesANN ARBOR - The University of Michigan hosted dozens of Great Lakes researchers, advocates and policymakers last Wednesday for a meeting of the Great Lakes Futures Project. The consortium of universities and institutions in the U.S. and Canada worked on developing plans for long-term research projects to protect and restore the Great Lakes. More than 75 Great Lakes researchers and others attended this the meeting, hosted by the U of M Water Center. Participants discussed the forces that shaped the Great Lakes region in the past and those that will shape it over the next half-century, including climate change, energy, economics, water quantity, biological and chemical contaminants, invasive species and demographics. In October, Michigan and 20 other U.S. and Canadian research institutions announced they were joining forces to propose a set of long-term research and policy priorities to help protect and restore the Great Lakes and to train new scientists, lawyers, planners and policy specialists. The Great Lakes Futures Project of the Transborder Research University Network "will use a cross-disciplinary, cross-sector approach to outlining alternative Great Lakes futures through science-based scenario analysis," University of Michigan spokesman Jim Erickson said. About 35 million people, or 30 percent of the Canadian and 10 percent of the U.S. population, live in the Great Lakes region, the university said. "This is a critical time to bring together scholars and practitioners from across the region to chart a more protective future for this precious resource," said Donald Scavia, director of Michigan's Graham Sustainability Institute. The Great Lakes basin's economic output is at least $4 trillion, and its population is expected to grow by 20 million people over the next 20 years, Erickson said. According to Erickson, the project is starting with "white papers outlining critical drivers of change in the Great Lakes basin over the past 50 years and the next 50 years, including climate change, the economy, biological and chemical contaminants, invasive species, demographics and societal values, governance and geopolitics, energy and water quantity."

Believe me, I've considered asset flipping. Unfortunately my viewpoint is way bigger than EOB, DM, Captive, Knightmare, Walls of Illusion, Ishar, etc. Also my perspective is different if you look at it; the "camera" is equidistant from floor and ceiling. Also also, none of the above have murderous antelopes with horns and tusks, soldier ants with chitin spears, or manticores. (I don't want boring monsters such as orcs, goblins, undead, etc.)NGF wrote:
I have also considered real time but it feels like it's one upper level of difficulty to code/complexity to the game so I might skip it and make it more like the Elvira games.
Ok, you have the exact solution to the viewpoint as I have with alot of IF's. As long as it works I guess.. But I can't escape the feeling that it should be a easier/shorter way to calculate view
About the graphical assets, why not "borrow" some graphics from Eye of the beholder / DM as a start and then edit them beyond recognition for your own needs?
I wish you good luck with the game!
And there must be an easier way to calculate it, I'm sure, however, brute forcing seems to work for now.
Don't knock Elvira / Waxworks. They're good games. I'm told that they actually started with a graphical MUD engine and basically bashed it until it fit their purposes. I think you could probably do the same in STOS no problem. Compact each location image together with its mask (a secondary image that might include all variants such as objects taken / not taken, etc.) and a directory of where each mask element goes, a room description, exits and where they go to, and examine descriptions into a single .MBS file, then load it in, BLIT everything into place, wait for player input, and you've probably got something a bit like the Legend Interactive adventure games on PC (Companions of Xanth, Spellcasting series, Death Gate, Shannara, etc.)
I believe one of our number in the Facebook group has also worked out how to do a resolution split as well, so you can have low res to show the image in colour and med res to make the text less chunky at the bottom...

J. Cole — Mr. Nice Watch (feat. Jay-Z)
Cole World
[Verse 1: J Cole]
Everybody got a bad side
Lemme see that shit
What you say "Cole ain't hot," what?
Where you read that shit?
You believe that shit?
All cause some lame niggas tweet that shit?
Have you seen my shows? Have you seen my hoes?
If I wasn't hot would they be so thick?
Guess not, got the game in a headlock
I'm blasting that, I'm laughin' at you old niggas, Redd Foxx
Don't mind me boy, I'm red hot
Uh, nigga they not. I'm over here, I'm over there
I'm everywhere, they not
You never play me: nice try
Balling in a nice spot
No more Mr. Nice Guy
Hello Mr. Nice Watch
You don't want no problems
Put yourself in a tight spot
So, you can look, but don't touch
I stay on my toes like the White Sox
It cost me a lot, my chain and my watch
They say time is money but really it's not
If we ever go broke, girl, then time is all we got
And you can't make that back, no you can't make that back
So let's ball while we here, let's ball while we here
Like ain't no tomorrow, like ain't no next year
Drink away all our problems
Make it rain with no care
Like I make that back, I make that back
Nice watch!
I know..
No more Mr. Nice Guy, hello Mr. Nice Watch
[Verse 2]
Stack on black
I ain't never been a high-roller
Now it's racks on racks
Never thought that I would ride Rover
But I'm back on track
Add to the fact that I never really drive sober
Cole World but I'm hot as shit
Do that mean that I'm bipolar?
Young, black, and gifted, I rap like its Christmas Eve
Coach wouldn't let a nigga off the bench
Now wonder why I didn't quit the team
I'm cut from a different sleeve
Cole World til our wrists are freeze
Hurry up with your pictures please
I gotta make history
[Verse 3: Jay-Z]
I got a Hublot, I call it Tebow
I strap that bitch with a gator band
Y'all niggas ball half-time
Y'all niggas like the Gator band
Y'all niggas need a time out
Who got these niggas all wound up?
Cocksucker, I'm 730
Y'all know where y'all niggas gonna wind up?
No more Mr. Nice Guy, hello Mr. Nice Watch
Only but a matter of time before I hit you with a nice shot
Y'all niggas betta not call the law
Get no blood on my Audemar
Meaning y'all better not waste my time
When y'all ready I take you all to war
Meanwhile I'm just chopping off doors
Put the front on the back, cause I'm back and forth
Put the front on the back of the 'bach like a boss
So I'm fronting on niggas when I'm backing off
What up, Cole? It's your time. Let's these niggas know
Adjust your Rollie on these motherfucking hoes
Whenever you ready, go

RAIDERS FOOTBALL: Torrington head coach Dan Dunaj resigns
TORRINGTON >> Torrington football head coach Dan Dunaj has announced he his resigning from his coaching position after five seasons as the Raiders head coach.
Over his tenure, Dunaj was 30-21 with the raiders.
In Dunaj's last season, he finished 6-4 record last season. His last win coming on Thanksgiving day when the Raiders defeated Watertown 35-21 to win "The Helmet."
With Dunaj's efforts, Torrington developed a weight lifting program that is not just for football but for all of Torrington's athletic programs.
After a very stressful season with the program being in and out of the headlines, Dunaj said his resignation was because of "family reasons".
Dunaj said he was put in a very opportune situation when he was hired in 2008.
"I was very fortunate, we had great kids come through the program," Dunaj said. "The program exempified great kids and great students."
Over his coaching career at Torrington High School, Dunaj said he taught his team values to use on and off the field.
"Be a man and do the right things," Dunaj said. "You may not always make the best decisions but be successful in what you do."
The love of football has not left Dunaj's thoughts, the former coach sees the sport will still be in his life in the future.
"I have plans in the future, I don't think I'm done yet," Dunaj said. "I'm not sure about my coaching future but I plan on returning to the sidelines."
In a message to his Red Raiders, Dunaj said they need to keep the unity within the team.
"Be a man and handle change," Dunaj said. "You don't always get what you want, stick together and come together as a team."
Torrington High School athletic director Mike McKenna said he did not wish to comment on Dunaj resignation because the letter has not gone through the Board of Education.

Back in 1903, in his groundbreaking book The Souls of Black Folk, W.E.B. DuBois argued that the defining element of African-American life was being viewed as a perpetual problem--one's very existence as a problem to be dealt with, managed and controlled but never solved. More than 100 years later, DuBois' rhetorical question seems as relevant as ever: How does it feel to be a problem?
There is a profound difference, of course, between having problems--which all people are allowed--and being a problem. One of the reasons that Trayvon Martin's tragic death resonated so powerfully with millions of people of color, black and brown men in particular, is that it was one of those rare situations in this so-called era of colorblindness when suddenly the curtain was pulled back. All the usual rationalizations for routinely treating young black men as problems and up to no good, were stripped away. There was just a young teenager on the phone with a girl, carrying a bag of Skittles and an iced tea, and he was viewed for no logical reason as scary, out of place, on drugs--someone who needs to be confronted, interrogated and put in place.

Our criminal-justice system has for decades been infected with a mind-set that views black boys and men in particular as a problem to be dealt with, managed and controlled. This mind-set has fueled a brutal war on drugs, a get-tough movement and a prison-building boom unprecedented in world history.
Today, millions of people of color are stopped, interrogated and frisked as they are walking to school, driving to church or heading home from the store. In 2011 alone, the New York City police department stopped and frisked more than 600,000 people. The overwhelming majority were black and brown men who were innocent of any crime or infraction. Their mere existence was cause for concern, just as the sight of Trayvon Martin walking leisurely through his own neighborhood was enough to make George Zimmerman call the police.
Studies have consistently shown that people of color are no more likely to use or sell illegal drugs than whites, yet black people have been arrested and incarcerated at grossly disproportionate rates during the 40-year-old war on drugs. If people who abuse illegal drugs were viewed as people who have real problems--rather than people who are problems--then drug treatment would be the obvious and rational response rather than putting people struggling with addiction in cages, treating them like animals and stamping them with a lifelong badge of inferiority.
Once released from prison, most people find that their punishment is far from over. Felons are typically stripped of the very rights supposedly won in the civil rights movement, including the right to vote, the right to serve on juries and the right to be free of legal discrimination in employment, housing, access to education and public benefits. They're relegated to a permanent undercaste. Unable to find work or housing, most wind up back in prison within a few years. Black men with criminal records are the most severely disadvantaged group in the labor market. In some places, more than 50% of people are in this demographic.

CAIRO (AP) - A string of sexual assaults on women during celebrations of Egypt's presidential inauguration - including a mass attack on a 19-year-old student who was stripped in Cairo's Tahrir Square - prompted outrage Monday as a video emerged purportedly showing the teenager, bloodied and naked, surrounded by dozens of men.
Seven men were arrested in connection with the assault and police were investigating 27 other complaints of sexual harassment against women during Sunday's rallies by tens of thousands of people celebrating Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi's inauguration late into the night, security officials said.
Sexual violence has increasingly plagued large gatherings during the past three years of turmoil following the 2011 uprising that ousted autocrat Hosni Mubarak, and women's groups complained Monday that tough new laws have not done enough.
Twenty-nine women's rights groups released a joint statement accusing the government of failing do enough to address the spiraling outbreak of mob attacks on women. The groups said they had documented more than 250 cases of 'mass sexual rape and mass sexual assaults' from November 2012 to January 2014.
'Combatting that phenomena requires a comprehensive national strategy,' said the statement signed by the women's groups.
Last week, authorities issued a decree declaring sexual harassment a crime punishable by up to five years in prison. The decree amended Egypt's current laws on abuse, which did not criminalize sexual harassment and only vaguely referred to such offenses as 'indecent assault.'
Sexual harassment has been one of Egypt's enduring social ills, embedded in the country's patriarchal conservative culture, where women are seen as inferior to men. Movies often portray women as sex objects, leaving them vulnerable to men who feel empowered by the absence of a strong legal deterrent.
Sexual assaults have increased dramatically in ferocity and in number in the three years since Mubarak's ouster, with Tahrir square, birthplace of the 2011 uprising, the site of multiple sexual attacks on women amid the large crowds.
In the latest incident, video footage posted on social media purportedly shows the student completely naked amid a crowd of men, parts of her body bloodied as policemen struggled to escort her out of Tahrir. The video appeared authentic and was consistent with AP reporting of the incident.
Seven men were arrested in connection with the attack on the student, who was hospitalized, said the officials. They did not elaborate on her condition and spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media.
The Interior Ministry, in charge of police, identified the seven suspects and gave their ages as between 15 and 49. It said they were arrested for 'harassing several girls' but made no mention of the student. A policeman was injured while the seven were being arrested, the ministry added.
Authorities investigating other reports of sexual assaults were examining a dozen videos from security cameras or from bystanders who filmed the incidents on their mobile phones, the officials said.
They said the footage suggested organized attacks, with groups of men luring victims away from densely crowded spots before encircling them as they assaulted them. Many brandished knives which they used to threaten victims or against anyone attempting to come to their rescue.
Further causing an uproar were comments by a TV anchorwoman during a live report from a correspondent covering the Tahrir celebrations. When the correspondent for al-Nahar TV told the anchorwoman there had been several cases of sexual harassment, she laughed and said it's 'because they are happy.'
The anchorwoman, Maha Bahnassy, denied Monday that her comment was in response to the harassment incidents.
'I was, along with my guests, commenting on people's joy, not the harassment,' she said on her Facebook page.
The anti-sexual harassment decree issued last week amends Egypt's current laws on the abuse. Those convicted face six months to five years in prison, with the maximum punishment reserved for offenders holding positions of power over their victims, such as when the offender is the woman's boss or is armed.
Repeat offenders would see their sentences doubled, the decree said. Along with the maximum five-year sentence, offenders can be fined up to 5,000 Egyptian pounds, or about $714.
Last year, a joint report by the United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women, Egypt's Demographic Center and the National Planning Institute found that more than 99 percent of hundreds of women surveyed in seven of the country's 27 provinces reported experiencing some form of sexual harassment, ranging from verbal harassment to rape.
The breakdown in security in the wake of the 2011 uprising that toppled Mubarak has left Egypt's streets even more unsafe for women.
Initiatives to counter harassment have multiplied. Volunteer groups started escorting women, especially during political gatherings. Activists offered self-defense classes for women and social networking sites launched 'name and shame' campaigns.

NEW ORLEANS – Federal prosecutors have secured new indictments against a former BP engineer and a former BP executive charged separately with obstructing investigations of the company's 2010 oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
Wednesday's indictment of former BP executive David Rainey adds language alleging that he knew of the pending congressional investigation he is charged with obstructing. A federal judge had dismissed the obstruction of Congress charge from Rainey's original indictment, in part because it didn't contain that allegation.
A grand jury also issued a new indictment Wednesday against former BP engineer Kurt Mix, who is charged with deleting text messages about the company's response to the spill. The new indictment makes few substantive changes to the version it replaces and doesn't add any new counts.

In the average American big city among 17 assessed, only about 34% of the high school students graduate. About 60% of those same young people have a sexually transmitted disease (STD).What does this say about America's future? And why aren't we hearing solutions to these glaring social ills from our candidates for President of the United States?
"The mind of this country, taught to aim at low objects, eats upon itself," wrote Ralph Waldo Emerson in 1837.
Wouldn't he be proud of today's teenagers, their parents and teachers?
In the most recent study of high school graduation trends, seventeen of the nation's 50 largest cities had high school graduation rates lower than 50 percent, with the lowest graduation rates reported in Detroit, Indianapolis and Cleveland, according to a report released April 1, 2008.
The study was conducted by America's Promise Alliance, an organization founded by former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and Secretary of State Colin Powell. His wife Alma chaired the assessment group.
Colin Powell while serving as Secretary of State. We at Peace
and Freedom have the utmost respect for Colin and Alma Powell for their work.
"When more than 1 million students a year drop out of high school, it's more than a problem, it's a catastrophe," said Powell. "This has to stop. We, as a nation, must correct this problem."
"We must invest in the whole child, and that means finding solutions that involve the family, the school and the community," said Alma Powell.
While more than one million boys and girls drop out of high school, more than 3 million girls nationwide have a sexually transmitted disease (STD).
"This is pretty shocking," said Dr. Elizabeth Alderman, an adolescent medicine specialist at Montefiore Medical Center's Children's Hospital in New York.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention sponsored the STD study.
"Those numbers are certainly alarming," said sex education expert Nora Gelperin, who works with a teen-written Web site called sexetc.org. She said they reflect "the sad state of sex education in our country."
"Sexuality is still a very taboo subject in our society," she said. "Teens tell us that they can't make decisions in the dark and that adults aren't properly preparing them to make responsible decisions."
The Associated Press reported that the teens were tested for four infections: human papillomavirus, or HPV, which can cause cervical cancer and affected 18 percent of girls studied; chlamydia, which affected 4 percent; trichomoniasis, 2.5 percent; and genital herpes, 2 percent.
Dr. John Douglas, director of the CDC's division of STD prevention, said the results are the first to examine the combined national prevalence of common sexually transmitted diseases among adolescent girls.
He said the data, now a few years old, likely reflect current prevalence rates.
Disease rates were significantly higher among black girls — nearly half had at least one STD, versus 20 percent among both whites and Mexican-Americans.
Besides high school graduation rates and rates of sexually transmitted diseases, how else might we seek information on American teenagers?
One area already assessed is the rate that our nation reads and "self-educates."
We've written about and commented about reading trends several times in multiple publications.
But a Washington Times editorial published November 21, 2007 said it best: when it comes to reading many Americans have decidd not to.
Bombarded with media, computers and video games, their reading habits are declining measurably. Nor is it simply the young.
In an unprecedented research synthesis released this week, the National Endowment for the Arts shows how reading habits have declined in recent years with a grim picture of what could only be called the nation's nonreading public.
Here are some of the troubling highlights of "To Read or Not to Read: A Question of National Consequence."
From 1982 to 2002, the percentage of 18- to 24-year-olds who read literature dropped from 60 percent to 43 percent. Fifty-two percent of the same age demographic said they read a book voluntarily in 2002, which is down from 59 percent a decade earlier.
The percentage of 17-year-olds who read for pleasure almost every day dropped from 31 percent to 22 percent over the period 1984-2004. It also seems that a college education is ever less a guarantee of good reading skills. The sole bright spot occurs among 9-year-olds, whose reading comprehension has improved over the last decade.
Barring this exception, the results are remarkably and troublingly consistent in study after study. Money spent on books in the United States dropped 14 percent during the period 1985-2005 when accounting for inflation. Seventy-two percent of employers report finding high-school graduates "deficient" in reading comprehension.
And the number of adults with bachelor's degrees who score "proficient in reading prose" fell from 40 percent in 1992 to 31 percent in 2003.
With the rise of the Internet and online news consumption, some might argue that queries about "reading" fail to capture the entire picture if they do not account for online activities. But all modes of reading are not equal.
We might take this argument more seriously when teenagers are found reading Shakespeare or Herman Melville online. Far likelier they are surfing MySpace or Facebook.
Our increasing failure to read constitutes a kind of creeping national illiteracy which should concern everyone, not simply librarians and booksellers.
Literacy is an integral aspect of civil society. Substance, culture and literature should not be the ironic casualties of the "Information Age."
All we've discussed here still leaves out the disabling impact of drugs, alcohol and teen pregnancy on our younger generation.
The only conclusion one can possibly draw from reading the reports on high school graduation rates, sexually transmitted disease rates and reading trends among American youth is this: unless action is taken we are a nation with a future at risk.
There are about 300 million Americans just now. There are about 1.3 billion Chinese.
And China has a world recognized machine for turning out the educated young people it needs.
One has to draw his or her own conclusions.

Study Suggests Antioxidants in Caffeine Play a Role in Coffee's Impact on Health
By Jennifer Warner
WebMD Health News
Reviewed by Louise Chang, MD
May 6, 2011 -- Caffeine's jolt may do more than just keep you awake. A new study supports the health benefits of coffee by showing how the antioxidants in caffeine fight damage-causing free radicals.
Researchers say their experiments explain the chemistry of how the antioxidants in caffeine seek out and destroy free radicals associated with Alzheimer's and heart disease.
Free radicals are molecules in the body that attack healthy cells and cause damage that can lead to disease. The health benefits of antioxidants are largely due to their effects in protecting against damage from these free radicals.
Recent studies have shown that coffee is one of the richest sources of antioxidants in the average person's diet. But little is known about how these antioxidants, including caffeine, work against free radicals.
In the study, published in The Journal of Physical Chemistry B, researcher Jorge Rafael Leon-Carmona of Universidad Autnoma Metropolitana-Iztapalapa, in Mexico, evaluated the five different theoretical mechanisms of the chemical reaction between the antioxidants in caffeine and free radicals.
They found that a mechanism called the radical adduct formation (RAF) is the main mechanism involved in caffeine's ability to protect against damage from free radicals, which is consistent with previous studies in animals.
Researchers say the results support the notion that caffeine is a major source of antioxidant activity in coffee.

Faster, harder, stronger! The Nissan-Motivity 400C Sport Cars Concept by Tryi Yeh. The 400C has the Maglev engine system in each tire, making it quite floaty and speedy. The 400C has a wild, new triangle shape that reduces drag, while the driver seat controls retain their classic build. It is the latest creation of the brilliant visor and stunning feature characteristics from the side of Nissan by Tryi Yeh. But spreading his periphery, the Taiwanese designer has designed a car that takes you straight into the future.
Maglev, or magnetic levitation has been hailed as the future of high speed transportation since long, but the idea is predominantly based on trains. With the Motivity 400-C design proposal, designer Tryi Yeh intends to bring magnetic levitation from train tracks to roads.
Nissan Sport Cars Concept Motivity 400C by Tryi Yeh Relies on Maglev
This concept car uses maglev motor system that has made it even stronger with each deck, which allows great control, functionality and style. The triangle-shaped bode this car reduces drag of air, therefore, this car offers better acceleration and is able to save more power. Wheel was traditional, so the driver can have the ultimate driving experience.
A little more info on the Maglev concept: The use of the physical properties of magnetic fields generated by superconducting magnets to cause an object (as a vehicle) to float above a solid surface. Merriam Webster Dictionary ; This method has the potential to be faster, quieter and smoother than wheeled mass transit systems. The technology has the potential to exceed 4,000 mph (6,400 km/h) if deployed in an evacuated tunnel.
Nissan Sport Cars Concept Motivity 400C by Tryi Yeh Relies on Maglev. Also, it turns out that if you use the technology to its max potential and in an evacuated tunnel, you might even reach speeds up to 6,400 km/h. Of course, this is pure theory and one that applies to bullet trains on magnetic levitation tracks…

Shark Tale is an animated film, though after you see it you might wonder whether the term is intended as oxymoronic. Put simply, it has no life in it at all. Not even the kids roped into an afternoon preview screening seemed terribly interested. Perhaps they've grown tired of computer-made cartoons, their little tummies too full of big-screen cotton candy that's appealing to stare at for a few seconds but stomach-turning after ninety minutes. Or maybe there's a reason Mark Cuban has assembled a panel of tykes to ferret out the frauds who'd pick the pocket of The Benefactor: They're little bullshit detectors, incorruptible and wise when they sense someone trying to offer them crap while calling it fudge. You could hear them squirming and fidgeting over the sound of silence, where presumably DreamWorks intended peals of laughter to mask the soundtrack bereft of a single joke worth recounting, much less telling at all.
Likely DreamWorks would counter that Shark Tale, with its casting of Robert De Niro and Martin Scorsese and Sopranos refugees doin' dat goombah ting dey do to friggin' death, isn't intended for children at all. This isn't an excursion into the land of fractured fairy tales, like Shrek or its far-superior sequel. (This movie's codirector, Vicky Jenson, made her debut on Shrek.) There's nothing at all sweet or endearing about Shark Tale, no warmth compensating for the clinically cold computer-generated animation. In fact, it's downright mean-spirited, stunningly violent (for a movie ostensibly created to sell Happy Meals and action figures and bathtub floaties), kinda racist (all the Italians work for the Mob, all the African Americans live in squalor), and cynically crass. If you don't think Katie Couric wasn't cast as newscaster Katie Current for some extra free pub on Today, then perhaps you also think Coca-Cola and the Gap receive their plugs gratis, out of the kindness of DreamWorks honcho Jeffrey Katzenberg's heart.
The plot, such as it is, has to do with a little fish named Oscar (Will Smith) dreaming of escaping his graffiti-covered ghetto 'neath the sea and movin' on up to a deluxe apartment in the sky, or at least a little closer to the surface. Sporting the bling, though unable to afford bling-bling, Oscar works his crap job at the whale wash, scraping tongues and chatting up his lovestruck best friend, Angie (Renée Zellweger), whose affections Oscar doesn't notice. On the other side of the reef, De Niro's Great White Shark Don Lino is putting the protection squeeze on whale-wash owner Sykes (Scorsese) and trying to teach his son Lenny (Jack Black, playing Italian but sounding vaguely Irish) to be a killer, when he's just a softie vegetarian.
Turns out Oscar's been borrowing money -- about five thousand clams, nyuck -- from Sykes, who needs the money to pay the don, so Sykes has his Rastafarian jellyfish goons, played by Doug E. Doug and Ziggy Marley, torture Oscar when he can't pay up. The scene of the two translucent stoners zapping Oscar into an X-ray is torture enough; like most of the movie, it's played for laughs that never materialize. But what makes it especially irksome is the use of Bob Marley's "Three Little Birds" on the soundtrack. Ziggy even joins in, all but corrupting the piece about singing "sweet songs of melodies pure and true." But the movie thrives on inserting these dirty little details into a kids' story: the black eye Oscar sports after the jellyfish get hold of him, a shrimp begging Don Lino for its life by explaining that it's raising his dead sister's crippled child, a shark being killed by an anchor that drops out of nowhere, a homeless and deranged crab who lives in a Dumpster.
Even if this were an adults' comedy, more South Park than Shrek, it wouldn't matter, because the jokes don't work. The movie's so wildly uneven in tone and texture, it could make you seasick -- and worse, Shark Tale prompts the question of whether a parody of a parody is indeed a double negative. Where Shrek existed atop a pile of pop-culture references cobbled together to create a screenplay, its sequel used those throwaway references to TV shows and other movies only as slight, sly accents. The first movie, with its Matrix gags and Rupert Holmes digs, had all the energy of a sitcom; its successor smartly chose story over satire and was warmer to the touch for it.
Shark Tale, written by first-timer Rob Letterman, can't even muster up the energy or the smarts to put its handful of pop references into context. It's enough, apparently, to parody The Godfather and The Untouchables for the umpteenth time and merely set it underwater, or to have Will Smith shout "Oscar bomaye!" and "You had me at hello" at no one in particular and for no reason at all, while Zellweger's character raises an eyebrow as if in pity. (And it's just embarrassing to hear Scorsese shout "Raise the reef!") It's stunning, really, to consider how much time and expense went into something so chintzy and dull -- a script full of non sequiturs shouted by a screen full of chum.

WASHINGTON — The District of Columbia is preparing a contingency plan to deliver essential services in case of a federal government shutdown.
Mayor Vincent Gray said Monday that the D.C. government is the only U.S. jurisdiction prohibited from spending local funds during a federal budget impasse. He says that highlights the injustice of the district's lack of budget autonomy.
Under the contingency plan, police, firefighters and EMS units will be on duty. Public schools also will be remain open.
Some agencies would have to close, including the Department of Motor Vehicles, Department of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs, the Department of Public Works and the D.C. Public Libraries. Trash collection would halt for a week, and street sweeping would be suspended.
There would be limited operations in the health and human services departments.
