The patch didn't apply but I fixed it manually and then applied. Maybe Sparc64 has the same problem?

A little strange that a vice president not more firmly upholds the constitiution, but rather says that, if the majority think it is ok then the laws are also ok. A constitution guarantees certain rights whatever the majority decides. Even though 80% of the people in a certain region think sharia is the best thing that could happen to them in life, this does not mean that the rest 20% have to live by those rules. This is the reason you have a constitution. You chould never have to prove yourself or feel unwelcome just because you don't have the same faith, skin color, political opinion, way to express yourself, etc. Even though people in general might think Jews are not a fine race, the constitution must guarantee that anyone in Indonesia who is a Jew have the same right to exist on her own terms, without having to excuse herself.
Therefore in this context, Jusuf Kallas answer is alarming. In fact his answer in it self it is a gigant step towards intolerance. Yes Jusuf has lived by sharia all his life without a problem – fine – but this does not mean that no one single person in Indonesia should have to by law.
that's the point, and you missed it MAGY, the other 20 % doesn't have to live by it. Sharia and Islamic laws only applies to Muslims, non Moslems will still live by the formal constitusional laws. it's difficult to get the correct pictures regarding Islam these days, not with all these Islamophobia being spewed by the Jewish owned mainstream press all the time.
I understand your thought, however the problem with this approach is that you have to be either a Moslem or not. This is the problem. There are so many diffent interpretation of what is a Moslem. Do you have to cover yourself? Do you have to pray 5 tiimes a day? Do you have to fast? Are you not allowed to take a loan or get rent? Yes, of course not – if you are a Moslem. But – if I don't cover myself – can I not be a Moslem then? Who should be the one saying what is right or wrong? The world has arlready too many conflicts based on religion where certain people claim they are god and know what is right or wrong. RI will fall appart as a multicultural country if religous courts should decide what your relationship to religion should be. This is certainly a step in the wrong direction in 2006. Modern Moslems must also incorporate the advances of sciense, 2500 years of development and the fact that the world is becoming more and more multicultural.
We don't need bylaws for every religion.
Hassan, I'm an Indonesian Moslem, and I've commented a number of times on this website, about this issue: the implementation of sharia law in Indonesia will make me non-Indonesian and ultimately non-Islam. First you divide the society into first class citizens (the Moslems) and second class citizens (the non-Moslems). Yeah, yeah, I know you're going to argue "…in Madinah.." bla bla (cue dhimmi-type justification). I don't buy it. Then you're going to start to separate "good Moslems" vs "bad Moslems". The minority? Who knows. It's really down hill from there. See, Hassan, your mindset and the Vice President's are the reasons why Moslems in Indonesa are increasingly seen as becoming less tolerant. Shame on you. Islam yes! Sharia law in Indonesia no, no, no! Tolerant, plural Indonesia yes! Arabization no!
Anonymous_aloy, what you forgot is the fact that Muslims must live in accordance with the laws of Allah, which is sharia. the very meaning of the word "Muslim" is "a person who surrenders to the will of Allah", if a Muslim disagree to sharia then he is not one who surrenders to the will of his God, does he? we are after all, just a creation, created by the Almighty, who are we to object His laws? To be a true Muslim we MUST live according to the laws the Almighty had set upon us, if we follow any other then we had taken His right as the undisputed ruler of the universe.
What happened in Indonesia was that the vast majority, 80% of them, was forced to not follow the rules that their God had set for His creations. Now I ask you, what is the purpose of life if not to please Him, to do what He told us to do and to stay away from what he don't want us to do? the mission that Adam had failed once in the past. And how can we complete the mission? the answers can be found on His laws, the sharia (way of conduct).

Turkey: The (hi)King's Speech
If you were to believe the papers and analyst reports, the Central Bank of Turkey's, or CBT's, required reserve ratio, or RRR, hikes at last Wednesday's rate-setting meeting were a complete surprise.
That may as well be the case, but it would reflect markets' herd behavior more than anything else. For some reason, markets took CBT Governor Durmuş Yılmaz's March 15 speech to, or rather interview with, the Wall Street Journal as irrefutable evidence that the Bank would stay on hold this month.
Life, Debt and Death in Turkey
The Turkish Statistical Institute's grave-faced bureaucrats count everything, know everything.
And not only macro data that regularly find their way into your friendly neighborhood economist's columns. For example, how many eggs were produced last month? 1.09 billion. How many books were published last year? 34,857. And how many telegraphs were sent abroad in 2008? Just one – and one telegraph was received from abroad.
A Turkish Woman Scorned
The Turkish Statistical Institute's 2010 Labor Force Statistics, which were released last Tuesday, paint the well-known, but still dire, picture of female employment.
A Phantom MENAce to Turkey
With winds of change blowing in the Middle East and North Africa, or MENA, the Turkish media has focused on the impact of the turmoil on the domestic economy.
With all attention on Libya, the magic number is $15 billion. That's the total value of the projects undertaken by Turkish companies in Libya during the last four years. Although the outstanding bills from these projects are not available, revenues from construction services abroad amounted to $1 billion last year.

NonFiction: Getting Hired and Staying Hired, Becoming Smarter, Attitudes, and Helping the Poor
by Larry Cox on Mar. 22, 2012, under UncategorizedBetter by Mistake: The Unexpected Benefits of Being Wrong by Alina Tugend (Riverhead Books, $16 softbound)
Alina Tugend writes the award-winning biweekly column "ShortCuts" for The New York Times. She is convinced that mistakes happen everywhere and when we acknowledge and identify them correctly, we can improve not only ourselves but the world around us as well. She adds that in this age of instability, almost everyone is under the gun to do better but if we can embrace our mistakes and learn from them then, and only then, can we achieve true excellence. Her book shows readers not just how to learn from mistakes but also how to craft a sincere apology when we do and then move on.
One of the most pertinent sections of "Better By Mistake" addresses the important role cultural beliefs and values play in our response to mistakes. Why learning cultural differences can be especially beneficial, particularly if we observe those in east Asia where mistakes are handled in an appropriate way rather than with a one-size-fits-all approach.

More Than Good Intentions: Improving the Ways the World's Poor Borrow, Save, Farm, Learn and Stay Healthy by Dean Karlan and Jacob Appel (Plume, $16 softbound)
It is rather startling that private citizens in America contribute more than $200 billion to charities annually, more than three times the sum of all corporations, foundations and bequests combined. Even with this incredible giving, more than half the world's population struggles to live on $2.50 a day or less.
Dean Karlan, a professor of economics at Yale, and president and founder of Innovations for Poverty Action (IPA), and Jacob Appel, a field researcher at IPA in Ghana, West Africa, where he studied microcredit, examine some of today's most celebrated development approaches to see, for example, if microloans really do transform the lives of the poor. Their groundbreaking research could help empower the poorest people around the glove to farm, to engage, stay healthy, learn, and invest in their futures in more productive ways.
This Will Make Your Smarter: New Scientific Concepts to Improve Your Thinking edited by John Brockman (HarperPerennial, $15.99 softbound)
John Brockman, publisher of the influential online think tank Edge.org, a site the UK's Guardian newspaper called the world's smartest website, asked 150 of the world's brightest and most influential minds on the planet an intriguing question: What scientific concept would most improve everybody's ability to think? The question triggered responses from such heavy-hitters as Nobel Prize-winning economist Daniel Kahneman, Wall Street Journal columnist Jonah Lehrer, bestselling author Kathryn Schultz, and Donald Hoffman, cognitive scientist at the University of California at Irvine.
The contributors examined such concepts as controlling attention, the ingredients of well being, effective theorizing, temperament and the flow of thought. As Brockman points out, the "tools" in his book are like magic hammers in that they can help you now and through life to make the world better and to allow readers to see their biases more accurately.
Hiring For Attitude: A Revolutionary Approach to Recruiting Star Performers With Both Tremendous Skills and Superb Attitude by Mark Murphy (McGraw Hill, $28)
Mark Murphy, founder and CEP of Leadership IQ, a leadership training and managing consulting firm, claims that 46% of the people about to be hired this spring will fail within the first 18 months on the job. He adds that he real surprise in this statistic is that much of the failure is not due to a lack of skills but rather the lack of attitude.
Murphy points out that the labor market has changed dramatically and that companies aren't just looking for people with the proper skills but workers with the right attitude. Put another way, an employee who is a good fit with the company's culture.
Murphy reveals the five main reasons why new hires fail, two quick and easy tests to discover the attitudinal characteristics needed to succeed in a company, where companies find their best candidates, and six words most interviewers add to the end of behavioral interview questions that destroy their effectiveness.
By Invitation Only: How We Built Gilt and Changed the Way Millions Shop by Alexis Maybank and Alexandra Wilkis Wilson, CoFounders of Gilt Groupe (Portfolio/Penguin, $27.95)
Sometimes the best business concepts happen by chance. One September night in 2002, Alexis Maybank and Alexandra Wilkis reconnected at a student mixer for the new students at Harvard Business School. Alexis had just ended a four-year run at eBay and Alexandra was close to burnout after spending three years as an investment broker at Merrill Lynch. Four years later, they risked everything to cofound a startup company that catered to their own passions as shoppers. Their concept began with a bold idea, namely to bring sample sales online. That simple plan launched Gilt and changed the way millions shopped. The company is currently valued at $1 billion and this is the incredible story of how it all came about.

Hyperacidity of the stomach can be associated with such symptoms as heartburn, and burning in the upper abdominal area. Esophageal, gastric and duodenal ulcers may also be related to the amount of hydrochloric acid the stomach produces. Although one's constitution may play a role in hyperacidity, stress and diet can also be important factors.Herbal remedies for this condition include soothing, relaxing herbs with a cool nature that are not too bitter to avoid acid production. A soothing diet with ample soluble fiber may be useful for many people. Avoid stimulating beverages sucha s coffee and tea; try fresh water with a little lemon juice squeezed into it instead.

Arbor Eco Update: Nano Bamboo
Nano Bamboo is created from bamboo that is heated at high temperatures into charcoal and then infused into the fabric. The use of bamboo charcoal goes as far back as the 1400's during the Chinese Ming Dynasty. Fabrics infused with nano bamboo particles are quick drying and naturally resistant to mold and bacterial growth, which can cause odor and skin irritation. Arbor uses this fabrication in our boardshorts and Windward Jacket. Bamboo is today's most renewable, sustainably grown raw material.

Is this the end of Windows Server?
Well, probably not quite yet – just look at how long it's taken Unix to die in the data centre. However I can't but feel that Microsoft's announcement this week, that they will now be supporting Linux under Azure, represents a fundamental shift in the balance of power of server operating systems.
Microsoft haven't been competitive on the web server and database side of things since the middle of the decade with steady decline since then. Yet, they've held up more strongly in the traditional data centre side of things and the conventional wisdom is that historically Linux has gained at the expense of Unix – ie workloads were being migrated to Linux when they came under review. More recently we've seen that wisdom be questioned and importantly the role of Open Source within the enterprise has hit its tipping point and is now becoming entrenched as a respected method of providing software.
All of this started before we seriously began moving workloads to cloud environments though. Revenues from Azure are hard to come across but are tipped to be about $200-400M, compare this with AWS however which has just broken $1.2B this year. Azure strategists would be looking at those numbers and wondering why they weren't getting anywhere near given their marketable base (and dominance in paid server revenues) and asking serious questions about the validity of Windows Server and SQL Server within a cloud environment.
End of days?
While this post stems from an action by Azure, it's really about Windows Server and the end of an era.
The reality is that Windows Server and SQL server in a cloud environment just plain suck. I know, I've tried it – indeed for some workloads I have to use it. It's terrible for multiple reasons. Obviously there's price, it's going to cost you a lot more, even with PAYG licensing than any other OS. But more fundamentally, the Microsoft stack is too monolithic for most cloud applications to be really useful. If I want a constellation of dedicated machines undertaking different tasks that I can scale independently, I'm saddled with Microsoft's stack all the way down.
Okay sure, I don't HAVE to use IIS, I don't HAVE to use SQL Server and I don't HAVE to use .NET. But if I don't have to use any of these things, why the hell would I chose to run any of the alternatives on Windows? All I'm doing then is opening my application up to more stability, management and development problems and I become a second class citizen as a result. Only an idiot actively chooses to be a second class citizen in any instance.
Here's why that has happened. Over the last 5-6 years, largely BECAUSE of the shift to commodity infrastructure services like AWS and RackSpace Cloud etc, what we've seen is a refocussing of the efforts of hundreds and thousands of developers on tooling to support the differences in this architecture. No longer was the system design about expensive hardware that had to have maximal utilisation and so required a monolithic approach to your workloads – architecture moved towards a more modular approach (not N-teir or even service based) and take advantage of being able to run different workloads on differently instanced machines (eg high memory or high CPU or both etc) that are dedicated to the task at hand.
So now most applications and services designed to take advantage of cloud based architecture are using Linux as the core with layers on top of it to achieve this. For the web there's not just Nginx, but a host of application servers such as Gunicorn and Node that are designed to work with it for specific tasks. You've got Varnish to do content caching, memcached to do data caching. And this is just the web based stuff, before we start talking about things like RabbitMQ for messaging and the multitude of NoSQL data stores (eg Riak, Redis, Hadoop etc).
If you're building a serious new application, regardless of whether it's a web app, and certainly regardless of whether it needs to be "web scale" or not, you're quite simply not going to find the breadth of tooling available to you anywhere other than Linux. Yes, out of those applications I mentioned above, some can be run on or interfaced with Windows Server. Why would I want to be a second class citizen in my own application though? If I'm going to build a new application for our business, why would I put it on anything less than the best of foundations? No one in their right mind would run something like Gunicorn on a Windows server in production!
Back in the day, many of these applications would be ported back to Windows due to developer demand (eg Apache, PHP, MySQL etc). Now, the fact that few are bothering is a sure indicator of how irrelevant Windows Server is to new projects leading the direction of technology for this next decade. In an evolutionary sense, Linux has provided a better host for rapid development of new projects that simply couldn't or wasn't possible under Windows. As a result, Windows Server has become an evolutionary dead end and will slowly become extinct.
Given this scenario, if I was the product manager for Windows Server, I'd be seriously polishing my CV – and probably giving Canonical a call, or at least applying to the Mobile or Gaming divisions where Microsoft are doing some valid and good work.
The news that Azure is going to support Linux has probably got some old school MS employees chewing bricks but it's a smart play in the cloud space. Azure's two most serious competitors are Amazon and RackSpace, both of whom have excellent Linux support AND both support Windows. This move by the Azure team cements them into a position where they can compete effectively and if they have to jettison some old party lines about product support then so be it. Now they can get on with the job of being a credible "Top 3″ cloud infrastructure provider.
On balance this is a good thing for Azure, a great stamp of approval for Linux, and I think, the beginnings of the end of Windows server. I'm sure Windows Server will continue for many years and versions yet but I'd like to hope we don't get to see windows server 2020.

Nice post, however given the number of datacenters I know running on Unixes, the announcement of death of Unix is bit premature.
Nice post, with some actual real experience behind it, but I find myself in a small amount of disagreement:
"just look at how long it's taken Unix to die in the data centre"
I wasn't aware that it had died. As somebody who has spent a big chunk of the last 8 years in and out of data centres as a systems analyst I can confirm that at least in my experience AIX, FreeBSD, HPUX and Solaris are still the mainstream. Red Hat Linux is the main competitor though I agree in your thoughts that Canonical will push into this market quite strongly in the near future.

Backstage & Runway Gallery: ASOS SS13 at the Sydney Opera House
Includes Rachel Rutt and good dresses.
Last night at the Sydney Opera House, ASOS presented their new SS13 collection, which is available online now to Australia before the rest of the world. Virtual high-five.
Almost five hundred ASOS fans gathered for the three shows, which saw Rachel Rutt walk the runway. In our interview with ASOS earlier this week, Head of PR Annette Burke told us about one of the challenges that comes with the online retail environment: "we obviously don't have a brick and mortar store environment so we don't have the opportunity for things to jump out at people in the flesh; for the consumer to be able to touch and feel them." But the event last night brought about some next-level interactivity, with shoppers being able to really get a grasp of the products IRL. Mission accomplished.

Doubles, Rolls - Finger Cymbal, Zills Patterns
for Beginners (Youtube video) |
"For Beginners" (ZAGHAREET! (July/Aug 2008) by Anthea (Kawakib) Finger Cymbals for Beginners ...and teachers who want to teach this skill and need a few ideas. Get Your Cymbals On! Last issue you learned where to buy the best cymbals, and how to attach the elastic so they not only sound good when you play, but look professional too. Now as promised, here are some simple patterns, and tips on playing well. (Don't worry, I learned how to play from reading instructions too - especially Mary Ellen Donald's book, which helped me figure out rhythms (and rhythm notation); but my teacher taught me when and where playing cymbals is appropriate, and had me play them when I did bellygrams. And that's how I got most of my expertise in cymbals - and in improvising, audience rapport, and plain old "showbiz" too, from bellygrams!) A quick etiquette tip: if you are lucky enough to get finger cymbal instruction in class, then follow your teacher's directions even if they conflict with what you read here - at least while you're in class. Every teacher has her own method, so just follow along without "helping" her by announcing that you've learned something different. If you're really concerned about it, bring up the subject with her outside of class. Hit 'em Hard Put your cymbals on, and open up your hands into their regular dance position. Now bring the middle finger to the thumb quickly, and with force. Don't be a wimp - we want a clear RING. Immediately open your fingers up again because you must keep the cymbals from hitting each other accidentally and messing up the sound. That's all for sitting down, now you have to get on your feet! Do the rest of your practise while in basic dance position; and most importantly, keep your elbows up, pointing toward the back. In the pattern notation below we'll use a capital H for the dominant hand and a lowercase h for the other one. Whatever your dominant hand is, right or left, that's the one that usually starts patterns as well as hits the beat or rhythm accents, which we'll explore later. (I've put some video online to help demonstrate what's covered in this article, on my Youtube channel: www.youtube.com/user/DanceEternal It'll be easier for you if you can hear what I mean so you don't get confused. There is also a clip of some of my students playing cymbals in performance, and there's also a link to my Finger Cymbal Solo, which is on Serpentine Video's channel.) Your Basic Cymbal Patterns The patterns that follow are the building blocks of our typical bellydance cymbal patterns. They are very simple, which is good because right now you're learning cymbal technique as well as how to think about and count the patterns. If you like, find a song with a slow, simple 4-count beat (beledi works if it's not too fast), or better yet, a metronome at about 70bpm (Beats Per Minute); there are online metronomes you can use, for instance www.MetronomeOnline.com/ - We'll start with Singles: 1 cymbal hit (stroke) per beat, in 4-beat sets (so 4 strokes per set, or "measure"). Arms in dance pose from #1 through #5: 1. Use alternating hands: H h H h (1,2,3,4). Go ahead, slowly count 1 2 3 4, and play along. Congratulations on your first cymbal pattern! 2. Now shift your weight from side to side on the beat, like this: right, left, right, left. (Yes, even if you are left-handed). Continue to count out loud (1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4) in time with your weight change, and play your cymbals as before. 3. Next, walk around while you play - one cymbal stroke per step - in a circle if possible, like you're onstage. Walking also helps your timing stay steady. 4. When that's comfortable, practise starting and stopping your cymbals: that is, continue walking the whole time, but play cymbals for 4 steps, then NO cymbals for 4 steps, etc. 5. When that's comfortable, then do your practise pattern of "4 steps playing, 4 not playing" while walking forward for 8 counts, then backward. NOTE: you may want to start #4 and #5 with the silent measure (4 steps not playing), to get your body moving first, then add the cymbals. Continue for several measures, then stop, then start again and continue for several measures. Starting and stopping on time is a skill too, that's why you practise that as well. After a couple of minutes, take off your cymbals and relax, that was great (I hope)! While you're relaxing and getting some blood back in your fingertips, read about Doubles: two strokes per beat (so that's 8 strokes per 4-beat measure). We will still use alternate hands, that is, HhHhHhHh, and you can count the beat like this: 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and. Do you see how your DOMINANT hand "H" will be playing on the numbers (the metronome beat/click) and your NON-dominant hand "h" will be playing on the "ands" (the silence in between each beat)? OK, now please get up again and try Doubles in your dance pose (#1 through #5, above): or start out walking again - you are walking the same speed as before - but now you have a faster cymbal pattern! Each step gets its own "H h". (Side note: are you way ahead of this already? Good for you. But if you are new or having trouble "getting your cymbals on" then don't skip this - it's basic programming for your new cymbal-playing brain cells.) Practise your Doubles as you did Singles: - walking in a circle (same speed, right?) - walking in a line going forward and backward - starting and stopping - extra points: keep walking in your line of dance, and alternate your two cymbal patterns: 4 steps Singles, 4 steps Doubles. That's awesome! Getting fancy! Drum roll please.... because now YOU are going to do "Rolls"! Good Rolls are the secret to good cymbal playing...and also where the messiest messes happen if you don't practise! So what you just did with Singles and Doubles, you are going to do with Rolls. Rolls are 4 strokes per beat, or 16 strokes per 4-beat measure: HhHhHhHhHhHhHhHh (the bold shows where the beat is - it always falls on the DOMINANT Hand) Go through all steps #1 - 5 as you did with the other patterns; and you can count it like this: 1 a and a 2 a and a 3 a and a 4 a and a 1 a and a 2 a and a 3 a and a - etc. etc. etc.! Yes, each step gets 4 cymbal strokes, and the dominant hand is always the first one on each step. Remember, you are stepping on ONLY the numbers. When you are comfortable playing all 3 patterns while walking (Singles, Doubles, and Rolls), substitute Hip Sways in place for steps.... remember to also alternate your patterns as well. What fun you are going to have! Will that keep you busy til I get back from vacation? Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions about your cymbal playing; and check my Youtube channel for updates.... 'til next time, happy cymbals! |

We are proud to bring you the stories, opinions and musings of a long time pilot who has dabbled in everything New Eden has to offer, he writes and podcasts about his opinions and adventures at Ninveah.com
About five minutes after I read Ripard Teg's post on the new Gnosis battlecruiser on Singularity test server, I was up and downloading the latest client. This concept this ship represents appeals to me from way back, like April 2009 (emphasis added):
4. Tech II versions of the tier 2 battlecruisers (Drake, etc) and tier 3 battleships (Rokh, etc) as well as tech II carriers and dreadnoughts. I'd like to see some more non-combat-focused ships like a scientific explorer or a ship dedicated to managing the battlefield of multiple fleets or a ship specialized for salvaging.
Well, the Gnosis vessel appears to satisfy this role at first glance nicely: damage bonus? Check. Scanning bonus? Check. Sufficient tank to survive rats? Well we are going to find out.
Click for full size. |
First off, I'm a big fan of the model, very sci-fi and menacing, looking like a combination between sleek and strong. The slot layout and bonuses are setup so as to allow for any type of weapon system and defense, a jack of all trades if you will (and expert of none but we'll talk a bit more about that later).
I decided to try a blaster fit with shield buffer thank and see how it compares to a Drake / Tengu.
Note: I did not spend hours on fitting. |
First thing I found out is that you will have lots of fitting room on this ship unless you try to go for an Expanded Probe Launcher, then things get tough. With the Core Probe Launcher though I found I had no problems with power grid or CPU when going for Heavy Neutron Blaster IIs, two Large Shield Extender IIs, and two Adaptive Invulnerability Field IIs along with a meta MWD and webber.
So yeah, fitting is a dream. With five mids and five lows and even resistances to start, there are no holes to plug and it does not favour armour tanking over shield tanking or vice versa. I went for shield tanking only because I wanted the mag stabs and tracking enhancer to improve turret effectiveness. I found I could get a fair amount of raw shield hits points with average resists (17K with ~68%) which is comparable to a Drake; you could probably squeeze more tank about of that with some tuning.
I wasn't sure what to do with all the lows and could have easily fit a third magetic field stabilizer on there with the remaining CPU. The two nanofibers and MWD gave me a top speed of 1557 m/s which is very nice but I'm not sure if I had my low grade snake implants in at the time so your mileage may vary.
The drone bay is 75m3 with a bandwidth of 50mb, so I went with Hammerhead IIs for DPS (expecially nice considering drone bonus ofthe hull) and a backup flight of Warrior IIs for interception. The damage with the hammerheads and Void ammo comes out in the 770 DPS range according to Eve client which feels a little low for a battlecruiser setup for damage; its not embarrassingly low but it is also not worth writing home to mother about. After looking at some other Battlecruiser stats I have come to the realization that the DPS of this ship actually is not half bad outside of the Attack versions (i.e. Tier 3s) especially considering the ease of fitting.
Overall this is a very flexible ship. It won't out DPS some ships and won't out tank others, but it finds a nice spot in the middle road and the scanning bonus makes it as good as the Tech 1 scanning frigs for finding PvE content.
I think I'd go with missiles and an active armour tank for a real serious PvE exploration boat. I might play with that one next as it would give more cap and range to play with while freeing up the mid slots for some code breakers / analyzers. Stay tuned.

PETA files complaint after killer whale injured at SeaWorld San Diego
Killer whale, Nakai, receives treatment for injury

SAN DIEGO - Officials of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals announced Friday they have filed a complaint with the Department of Agriculture for conditions at SeaWorld San Diego, where an 11-year-old killer whale suffered a gaping injury to the lower jaw.
A SeaWorld statement said the whale, a male named Nakai, was injured during a nighttime performance Sept. 20, but did not make clear how the injury occurred, other than to say it occurred during "normal social behavior."
"Nakai is currently receiving antibiotics and the veterinarians are pleased with the healing progress of his wound," the statement read. Despite the injury, the whale is "swimming comfortably and interacting with other killer whales" in the Shamu Stadium pool complex at the marine park, according to park officials.
PETA, however, contends in its blog, the "PETA Files," that a whistleblower said Nakai was attacked by two other orcas, Keet and Ikaika.
In the complaint to the Agriculture Department, PETA said it wants SeaWorld disciplined for not keeping the whales separated as required under the Animal Welfare Act. According to PETA, the law requires incompatible marine mammals to be kept in separate enclosures.
In response, Dave Koontz of SeaWorld San Diego issued another statement late Friday that said, "There is no organization in the world more committed to the physical, social and mental welfare of its animals than SeaWorld. All of our trainers, animal care staff and veterinarians are tremendously passionate in caring for our animals."
The well-being of animals at the park is "paramount" and stewardship of the animals at SeaWorld is taken very seriously, Koontz said.
U-T San Diego quoted Dr. Nancy Anderson, a veterinarian with the UC Davis Wildlife Center and a former veterinarian at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom, as saying Nakai's injury was too smooth to have been caused by another orca, and was more consistent with getting snagged on something and trying to pull away.

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

Birthday Chimney sits in the corner between Birthday Crack (route 9) and Caesarian West Face (route 11). The route isn't really climbed as an offwidth chimney. Climb this route using face holds and ledges on the wall to your left and the tower to your right. Step up on ledges with your feet, using an occasional stem between the face and the tower. For novice leaders there are plenty of nice resting spots, making this a good route to try out the sharp end.
Stadard Rack
It can be climbed as a true chimney, however, it gets really thin about half way up. Unless you are really skinny (which I am not) you will only be able to get about half of your body into the chimney. I, myself, only manage a leg and an arm and that, in itself, is hard to manipulate when "jammed" inside. Fun little route.
I am fairly skinny and could not do the route in the chimney. The bottom half is just too thin: the upper half is fine. The left/north face has good holds and edges outside of the chimney proper.
Boy Scouts love this route.
This is a great beginner or warm up route! If you're skinny, the first part of the chimney works well, but move to the left or you'll get stuck. Either way, great stemming, smearing, and holds to get you up quick!

The blue eyes that belonged to the daughter of the moon looked across the armies of Equestria that blanketed the badlands between the cities and it's boarders. She seemed deep in thought and almost looked relaxed were it not for the slated blue armour that clung tightly to her body, the tip of her sword buried in the ground as her hands rested upon it's hilt. "I am unsure about this formation of ours Tia, I expect he knows of it and has prepared a plan" she spoke, her words much more softer and kinder then they had been hundreds of years ago when her banishment from the moon had subsided. Celestia, the daughter of the sun turned to look at her, a soft smile across her features which was slightly masking the sadness underneath. "I'm confident in our plans Luna, I think today is the day the fate of all Equestria is finally decided. To change our plans now is to assume doubt in our judgement, a slope I do not care to wonder close to" she replied before turning back to look over their forces. Luna let her words sink in before eventually nodding, "I understand. Let us win this battle and protect our people" she spoke, filling herself with confidence as she looked on towards the horizon. Any moment now the enemy would be upon them, and the great war would finally have it's ending.

Tory Bodeen returns to her South Carolina hometown to reclaim her life in the town where she suffered a violent childhood. But Tory has the gift of visions, and coming back means reliving the horrific images that flashed through her mind the night, years ago, that her childhood friend Hope Lavelle was killed. Tory's unique role in Hope's death makes her not only the focus of the Lavelle family's hatred, but the likely next choice for Hope's killer.

"I don't know why you felt like you had to drag Jack along for this."
My husband has uttered those words many, many times. Family photos, Saturday morning trips to the farmers' market, short jaunts to the grocery store, weekend getaways to the mountains...I always want "my first born baby" to come along for the ride.
Jack is a miniature schnauzer--a breed well known for their loyalty and devotion to their families. In fact, the Encyclopedia of Dog Breeds (2011) states: "The Miniature Schnauzer is intelligent, devoted, and serious about being a member of the family--he needs to be included in everything that goes on." And, as Jack's mom, I'm usually more than willing to comply with his instinctive needs.
He dresses up for Halloween.
He loves to go hiking.
He's always included in family photo shoots.
He loves hunting for Easter eggs.
He always gets special birthday-boy treatment.
I even attempted to include him on our bike rides (this didn't work out so well).
Obviously, I enjoy having Jack around. And although his presence can, at times, cause more stress than I'd like, I'd still rather have him with us than sitting at home by himself. So, in spite of my husband's feelings on the issue, Jack comes with us. Just about everywhere we go. And he loves it.
How could you say no to this face, anyway?
How close are you with your pets? Do they tag along everywhere you go, or are they better suited for staying home?

West Allis - A number of local athletes helped the West Allis Lightning volleyball club boys 18 team capture the national junior championship in Dallas.
The Lightning defeated SCVC 18's QuickSilver of Southern California, 25-27, 25-22, 15-10, in the title match. Trevor Novotny of Catholic Memorial was named the 18 Open division most valuable player and Adam Kessenich of Shorewood, Nick Olson of New Berlin Eisenhower and Peter Hutz of Marquette High School were named to the all-tournament team.
"The boys worked extremely hard all season," co-coaches Jake Cosson and Shane Reid said. "Learning new skills, systems and mentalities were the biggest obstacles. Throughout the season, the goal was always the same, to win the national tournament, and the players never let that goal go."
Cosson and Reid surprised the boys the week before the tournament by taking team to a team ballet lesson.
"The boys were very skeptical at first, but they warmed up to the idea very quickly and enjoyed every minute of it," Cosson said. "It was definitely a moment that brought us together as a team."
Of the 12 members of the team, eight will continue their volleyball careers at the collegiate level, with Novotny, Hutz and Olson at Loyola University of Chicago, Josh Kirchner at the University of Southern California, Conrad Kaminski at Stanford, Michael Michelau at Erskine University of South Carolina, Kyle Rohde at Lewis University of Illinois, and Kessenich at St. Ambrose University of Iowa.
Other Lightning teams also fared well. The boys 15 finished fourth in the national event, with Mark Heinen of Marquette and Danny Brozynski of Catholic Memorial receiving all-tournament honors, and the boys 14 came in fifth.

Detroit Tigers Minor League Baseball Commentary and Analysis
[powered by WordPress.]
In order to be a baseball player there are two things one must come to terms with in order to stay sane and keep performing at a high level. One is, that there will be a lot of games played and you will travel a lot. The pressure never really goes away and you must keep having fun. The other thing that is absolutely essential to survive in the realm of pro-ball is that you must be able to embrace really, really bad tan lines. For me I like to embrace this as sort of a badge of honor, and wear it proudly. For others the thought having to walk around two toned is about a shameful as a "bad night out." Thus, the introduction of the tanning bed comes into play. I've never been one for this phenomenon but whatever helps a player deal with his scars is up to them. Now let me explain just what exactly it is that I have to deal with on a daily basis; On my head, I have a darker face, and a bright white forehead. I also have a tan line on my arms three quarters of the way down my arm because of the undershirt I wear and then the best of all when I take off any white undershirt, it still looks like I am wearing it. Now my situation is not as bad as some of the hitters however. Some of our guys have to deal with wrist tape lines and my personal favorite, the eye black circles. If you have no problem with really bad tan lines, and are lucky enough to do something which reinforces them everyday, my hat is off to you and just maybe there is a little bit of ballplayer in you too.
The Flying Tigers had plenty of hitting stars in their 11-5 win over Dunedin but Brennan Boesch had a particularly big game. He went two for five with a triple, a homerun, four RBIs and two runs. Scott Sizemore was one of two hitters who had three hits and he scored three times.
Matt O'Brien improved to 4-1 on the season with a solid start. He gave up four runs on seven hits and two walks with two strikeouts in five innings of work.
Lucas French fell to 3-5 on the season with a tough start in the SeaWolves 8-6 loss to Altoona. He gave up eight runs on twelve hits and three walks with two strikeouts in 6 2/3 innings.
Danny Worth went two for five with a solo homer. Jeff Frazier went three for five with a run.
Denny Bautista fell to 0-1 for the Hens in a 3-2 loss to the Knights. He gave up an unearned run on a hit and a walk with two strikeouts in two innings of relief. Yorman Bazardo had a decent start and he gave up two runs on six hits with three strikeouts in five innings.
Brent Clevlen had two hits including a solo homer, his ninth long ball of the season. Dane Sardinha drove in the other Hen run with a solo shot of his own.
The White Caps managed just five hits in a 6-1 loss to South Bend today. The lone run came on a solo shot by Casper Wells. Roger Tomas was the only hitter to reach base twice with a pair of singles.
Jonathan Kibler fell to 5-2 on the season. He gave up four runs on six hits with eight strikeouts in 7 1/3 innings.
Lauren Gagnier fell to 1-5 on the season in the White Caps 7-3 loss to South Bend. He gave up four runs (two earned) on three hits and four walks with five strikeouts in six innings.
Casper Wells doubled and belted a solo homer. Ron Bourquin singled, drew a walk and scored a run.
Lakeland lost Tampa 5-4 despite coming back from three runs to tie the game. Unfortunately, Nicholas Martin gave up a run in the ninth inning and that cost Lakeland the win. Jonah Nickerson had a mediocre start and he gave up four runs (one earned) on five hits and three walks with three strikeouts in 5 2/3 innings.
Cale Iorg was the hitting star with a three run blast. James Skelton went two for four with a run and an RBI.
Brent Clevlen had a monster game in the Hens 10-2 win over Buffalo. He went three for four with six RBIs, a homerun and a run. Mike Hessman went one for three with a walk and three runs. Jackson Melian homered and drove in two runs.
Casey Fossum improved to 3-0 on the season with a nice start. He gave up two runs (one earned) on three hits and three walks with ten strikeouts in 6 2/3 innings.
Erie won a shoot out with Reading 9-7 in a game that saw plenty of hitting stars. Maxim St. Pierre went two for four with a three run homer while William Rhymes had a game high three hits with a run.
Daniel Christensen improved to 2-4 despite a mediocre start. He gave up five runs (two earned) on nine hits and three walks with three strikeouts. Brendan Wise pitched a shutout ninth and he earned his first save as a Seawolf.
The majority of family and friends who follow my stat line always ask about the column labeled BK. This is the statistical sign for a balk and yes I have two this year, in the same game no less. That is neither here nor there however I get mad at myself for doing it in the first place whenever I have to explain what exactly a balk is. For those who may wonder what a balk is, it's very hard to explain without acting it or using a diagram so just Google "balk rule" and that should save me some headache. The more I sit and talk about it, the more ridiculous the whole concept of the rule sounds. I realize that rules are rules and it's a part of what keeps baseball such a great game, but there are certain rules which umpires in particular like to take to the limit. Our team this year has already balked more times than the last two seasons combined. Balking happens, it's one of those little mistakes that happen over the course of a long season. This amount of balks however, lends me to question whether or not there was a rule change or if umpires are looking extra hard for one of the smallest details in pitching; coming to a stop. This also triggers bad blood between pitchers and umpires, but the umpires will always win because at the end of the day whether we like it or not they can control how we do. Baseball is a game of details and inches, and every little bit and piece is equally important no matter how hard it is to admit. None the less I will have to make my adjustment and my new pre pitch thought is, aaaaand, stop.
Erie came back from a 6-2 deficit to beat Reading 8-7. Kody Kirkland singled, drove in two and scored a run while Ryan Roberson went two for four with a double, two runs and an RBI.
Anthony Tomey improved to 3-3 with two shutout frames. Casey Fien gave up a run in the ninth but he struck out the side and he picked up his third save of the season.
Virgil Vasquez' disappointing season continued as he dropped to 3-5 in the Hens 5-3 loss to Buffalo. He gave up five runs on eleven hits and a walk with three strikeouts in just five innings. Vasquez has a 6.22 ERA and while his strikeout to walk ratio of 35/9 is very solid, batters are hitting .324 against him. And there's basically no platoon split (just .004) so both righties and lefties are mashing him.
It took Mike Hessman a few days but he finally belted his 20th of the season. He hit a two run shot while Timo Perez went four for four with a solo homer. Derek Wathan got a hit in his second straight game since taking over first base for Jeff Larish.
Duane Below improved to 3-3 with a nice start in the Flying Tigers 4-0 win over Tampa. He gave up just two hits and a walk with seven strikeouts in seven shutout innings. Jay Sborz struck out two in two perfect innings to close out the game.
Jeffrey Kunkel was the hitting star in the win. He went two for three with a double, a run and an RBI.
Emmanuel Miguelez had a tough time and he fell to 1-3 in the White Caps 8-3 loss to South Bend. He gave up five runs (four earned) on eight hits and two walks with three strikeouts in 5 1/3 innings.
Christopher Carlson had a pair of hits, one of which was a solo shot. Ron Bourquin drew a pair of walks and he drove in a run.
There are certain skills a ballplayer acquires while on the job. These include, but are not limited to; being able to name any scene from any movie ever made or any song played over a loud speaker before a game. We can also carry on a conversation using only quotes from television shows or movies. Some players can heave little airplanes made from gum wrappers over twenty yards. And last, we have the special breed, the category that I fall into. This is the person who has spent so much time watching TV in hotels, watching movies and listening to music on a bus that we can impersonate just about anything, karaoke included. I have a theory for why this is so and it is that we, as players, have two things to focus on; playing baseball and the things we do while not playing baseball. Then all this seemingly useless knowledge gets stored into the non-baseball area of our brains and comes out during bus rides and down time. Yes some are more gifted than others, for instance, my Harry Carry can usually get a rouse out of anyone. However none of this is really all that useful beyond popularity points, unless that is, somehow by a stroke of luck you are selected to be on a game show about useless knowledge.
Chris Lambert fell to 5-2 on the season with a tough start in the Hens 5-3 loss to Buffalo. He gave up five runs on eight hits and two walks with five strikeouts in 4 2/3 innings.
The Hens managed just eight singles and they were all by different hitters. Mike Hessman reached base three times with a single and two walks. He's now drawn six walks in his last six games as pitchers try to duck him.
The Seawolves scored a run in the ninth to tie the game but that tie was short lived as Angel Castro gave up a run in the bottom of the ninth and he fell to 1-1. Brendan Wise was the most effective pitcher in his first game after getting promoted from Lakeland. He gave up two hits with a strikeout in 1 2/3 shutout innings.
Jeff Frazier went two for four with an RBI and a run. Dusty Ryan doubled, drew a walk and drove in a run.
The White Caps couldn't push a single runner across the plate as they were held to five hits in a 5-0 loss to Dayton. Joseph Bowen was the only White Cap to reach base twice with a single and a walk.
Alfredo Firgaro lost just his second decision of the season. He gave up four runs (three earned) on nine hits with four strikeouts.
One of my other passions outside of baseball is golf. I like to consider myself an avid golfer when the opportunities arise, and for the most part baseball and golf end up going hand in hand. There is plenty of down time around the game we play, so to stay busy most of us like to grab the sticks and hit the links. Through my endeavors with golf I have learned that there are plenty of lessons which can be carried over into baseball. Here are a few I have come up with:
-Get out of trouble as fast as you get into it (this rule applies on and off the field).
-Use the catcher like a caddy, he knows the lineup pretty well so when he tells you what to do, you grab the pitch and throw it.
-If you are serious about playing, stay away from the beer cart at all costs.
-Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good.
-Have a "go to" pitch/ shot (like Tin Cup's 7 iron, or Rick Vaughn's "eliminator").
-The perfect game/ round usually never happens so don't try to go for it, let it happen.
-Play your game, either go for it or know when to lay up.
-Warm-ups usually don't indicate how you'll do.
-Lost balls are never a good thing, they usually indicate you will be going home soon.
Virgil Vasquez had one of his better starts of the season in the Hens 6-0 win over the Bats. He gave up eight hits and one walk with four strikeouts in seven shutout innings. Francis Beltran threw perfect innings to close out the game and to complete the shutout.
Mike Hessman had three hits and three runs and one of those hits was his nineteenth homer of the season. Timo Perez and Brent Clevlen also went yard.
