Hey everyone, I got my Ouya right on time with right ammount of controllers and everything. It even had the piece of paper that reads: "thank you for believing" although it should say "thank you for believing in our bullshit" remember this? :https://s3.amazonaws.com/ksr/assets/000/058/943/1d701166d53cb122109cfeaef93fc3d2_large.png…
It's a link to a picture oif what Ouya used to promise before they changed their motto to free to try. Their Motto changed right after I completed my purchase and it that time I just wanted to cut them down. Stop caliming for your Ouyas, claim for your money! and you'll have a quarter of what you need for a proper console. My Ouya arrived with a dent in it, the material that the console is maid of is very very poor. As well as the material for the controllers. The buttons in it are very stiff too and not ergonomic at all. The game library? Oh my god, it's like having an android phone that is cube.shaped and with a controller. It's the same apps as the fucking play store, there's nothing new about it. a few games are exclusive and all games are free to TRY not free to PLAY as they claimed before. In spit of that, EVERY SINGLE GAME IS A PAY2WIN, every single one of them, they are single player pay 2 win. Un-fucking beleivable, this console is a hoax, I solemnly regret buying this piece of Hardware (haha) and i wish I had saved that money is somthing more competent than this. Utterly dissapointed guys, don't even bother. Turned it on 2 times. First to try the console, second time to show my parents what big mistake they had done and that I was terribly sorry to ask for this. DONT WASTE YOUR TIME MONEY AND EFFORT BUY A PS4 -

Never got etched controllers, they were printed on.
Ouya "console" itself didn't have any etching or printing on it like promised.
Still sitting in the box in my closet because I'm too angry to touch it.

Creator Jarl Wijman on November 17
make it right, as if
how many updates did we get after the famous "i am pissed" update?
i sent julie quite a few tweets with questions
never answered any of them
all they did was blame others (shipping company), but the fact remains she didn't keep her promise: the bakers would get one before launch
instead it was launched, there are STILL backers waiting for their ouya
"to hell with those backers, we got their 8,5 million, now it's time to take more people's money for our broken product"
good luck to those still waiting and even more to people who still believe in this company -

What kcjnz? I'm no family member. they just sincerely righted my wrong. That is all no more no less.
Creator kcjnz on November 12
I love it when family members post!
Creator Luis P Escobar Jr. on November 11
I have to leave a a comment. I had a lot of issues with Ouya. I was overtly upset at their process and procedures. Then Julie Uhrman made it right personally. I won't get into details, but I believe she stands by her product. There have been some huge hiccups, but I think that ultimately anyone who was a backer and was less than completely satisfied will have their wrongs righted in time.
Thank you Julie and Ouya team. I know I am a little more patient then some. Especially because some put the little money they were able to and had to wait. But I was able to write it off and ignore it. I am pleased to say the OUYA team made everything right. Just have patience folks and you'll be taken care of I am sure of it.Thanks again OUYA and Julie Uhrman. It is very much appreciated.

OUYA will be carried by Target and they will have playable displays in store. Kinda surprises me, I didn't think it was doing well enough, but I guess Target sees potential.
Creator Nikki on October 24
1. Open a ticket here: https://support.ouya.tv/home (click I'm a gamer, click submit a request) and enter your backer number (if you have it) and REFUND REQUEST in the subject. By opening a ticket you have a reference number. Set yourself up with a password on this site, as you can log back in and keep adding to your ticket if they do not respond to it.
2. After you open a ticket, go to their twitter account here: https://twitter.com/OUYASupport Follow them and follow @juhrman (this is Julie's twitter account) send them both a tweet asking them to look into your ticket #. Specifically state that you are requesting a refund as they have not sent you your item. Provide them your ticket number. Make sure you keep sending a tweet until they respond to you. Ensure you add #OUYA at the end of the tweet. The reason to do this is so everyone who is reading #OUYA stuff (and there are many) will see the tweet.
3. They have a Facebook page too, which you can innundate.
4. File a complaint with the Better Business Bureau.
You have to be persistent in doing this. Do not back down and ensure you are on their back a few times a day.
Creator Saul on October 23
I was an original backer and put $190 down for this. I still have not received my console. I have tried contacting them for no response. How would I go about getting a refund?
Creator OTAVIO CORREA RIBEIRO on October 21
I am very upset because I bought over a year ago two black controllers with my name engraved and a black console for $ 225, but until today, I received only the controllers. What can I do to get my console or my money back.

@Garry: Still around? Did they ever sort out that adapter?
Creator Mohammad on October 19
if by now you haven't received your OUYA then game over
you either fight for refund or asked them to send you their new version which they promised they will be working on as they finish this campaign :P
I feel this company lives in Wonderlands
Creator Nathan Cooper - Chasing ∞ on October 17
Creator Jarl Wijman on October 15
@Mikito so no visible damage on the outside but instead damaged inside, which is even worse, after it being 7 months late, just because they can't be bothered to package it properly?
very nice indeed. wouldn't you rather have your money back by now?
I will never understand why a company would think this is professional behaviour....
Nor do I understand why none of the newssites/blogs have ever picked up this fiasco, not that I expect that would make any difference :( -
Creator Erik Campos on October 13
Boy do I regret backing this Kickstarter. Ouya marketplace censors games, every update undoes root (and boy are there a lot of updates), hostile forced arbitration terms of service along with holding all my purchases hostage until I click "agree" on the new update.
Way to treat your believers.
Creator Mikito Kawasaki on October 13
My OUYA LE got delivered on Tuesday, although I had to wait till Saturday to receive it since I wasn't home during the weekdays.
I was expecting a nicely packaged console we see in some of the unboxing reviews, but what I got looked more like a care package that my mom use to send me when I was abroad. Everything was wrapped in brown paper, plastic bags and thin cushioned bags, packed in a beaten up brown cardboard box. Very heartwarming if it's from your mom, but not if it's suppose to be your brad new game console.
I'm not forgiving them for this packaging, but I'm so tired dealing with them that I can just let that by. There seems to be no noticeable damage like dents, scratches, or tears.
My pledge was for OUYA LE and 3 extra controllers. I didn't pledge for the etched ones. The package included:
- 1 OUYA LE console,
- 4 LE colored controllers (1 that comes with the console and 3 extras),
- 8 AA batteries (4 sets for 4 controllers),
- 1 AC adapter, and
- 1 HDMI cable.
There were no instruction manuals what so ever.
I hooked up the console to my TV with the HDMI cable, plugged in the AC adapter to the console and to the wall socket, and pressed the button on the top, which seemed to be the power button.
The power button lights up, and I'm looking at my TV waiting for my first glimpse of OUYA interface, but my TV continues to show the "no signal" message...
I switched between all the inputs I have but still, no signal. I plug my Apple TV to where the console was and make sure that the HDMI is working, and yes it is working, but when I switch it back to OUYA, no signal.
So here I go again... -
Creator Groopy on October 10
At least Xbmc works on this thing. Gaming on it is shitty.... Steambox & controller will be an instant buy whatever the cost. Everything better than this piece of bullcrap.
Creator Omar C on October 9
@Sid Wood-19 months after they promised to deliver. Just be glad you received a system at all. Message them everyday on twitter or cut your losses and save yourself the frustration. Ouya is too busy self promoting, they no longer give a fuck about the backers
Creator Sid Wood on October 9
I still haven't received my extra controllers. Does the US have a trading standards organisation? Are we powerless to do anything about this? I feel like I've been robbed.
Creator bonuswavepilot on October 8
@helder - XBMC works reasonably well on the Ouya, though I think both the build you can download from the XBMC site, and the one in the Ouya store are not yet fully optimised.
Also, controller support at the moment is pretty simple - they haven't yet mapped things like context menus and playlists etc as nicely as XBMC on a PC with a USB controller, but I assume it is coming.
As for using it as a file server though... You can probably find some appropriate apps to share stuff over SMB or something, but support for media drives plugged in via USB is still a bit dodgy (well in the official builds, anyway - I believe Wraith has managed to solve that in his work on custom builds):
Creator helder on October 7
unfortunately i also share some of your opinion Torment Superfan,
for me the Ouya project promised a lot, but under delivered a lot too....the box is nice design though but the lack of good game and program choices make this not so great... i guess if you really want power games and choices then you have to go xbox or playstation..i now just want to know if it is possible to make it a tiny server since is android based, low power, i would not mind to make it my media server at home... anyone tried to work around/hack this thing?!
Creator Joseph Garcia on October 6
What a disaster
Creator Torment Superfan - The Enduring Exile on October 6
@mikito your best bet is to move on. Boxer8 forgot all about their KS backers a long time ago. Also Kickstarter hasn't done anything to Boxer8 over these scams they've run on KS.
Gamestick is coming out end of this month. If you want an android device that plays on your TV it might be worth a look. Personally, I think the games on Ouya look and play awful so I'm no longer interested in Android gaming.
Creator Hongfu Lin on October 5
I still not got mine!
Creator Mohammad on October 5
I guess you're no longer a priority for them, they would serve paying customers so they don't cancel orders
as for you... you're already trappedor maybe they have no idea what's going on and just stalling...
in both cases you should file a complaint about them, harass them on twitter, spam their support email until you either get your console or get a refund. personally I would go with refund since the console is totally useless
Creator Mikito Kawasaki on October 5
OUYA's excuse that they haven't had shipped mine after a week of saying they're going to ship asap:
-----[ From here ]-----
We have thousands of shipments to get out and we are still getting more consoles and controllers made so it does take some time.
-----[ to here ]-----
Do they have thousands of shipments that they still have to ship for Kickstarters, or do they lack in skills to prioritize things?
Asap means stopping the line and putting the package in front of all the other ones so it goes out first, unless the line is full of those asap shippments.
Either way, their logistic and support system is the worst I've seen or experienced to date.
Anyways, they seemed to have shipped and sent me a Fed Ex tracking # just yesterday.
I'm hoping that this is my last time I would have to complain about those idiots, but from my past experiences with them I wouldn't be surprised even if they sent me 10 controllers without the console. -
Creator Mohammad on October 5
thanx for clarifying that
I guess there is a better solution for an OUYA they call it Trash Can :P
it's useless and consuming space !!! I even tried to pair controller with my PC to make any use of it but it was laggy and unreliable !! -
Creator Mike on October 4
@Mohammad mine powered on by itself too. It's something to do with HDMI detection, it detects a display connected, whether accurately or not, and powers on. I think it might be when it's asleep though, because unless you hold the power button for a total power down, it's always sleeping. If you search you will find some discussions on this.
Creator Brent Roberts on October 4
You want to fuck over OUYA? Easy. Post pics and a review of your negative OUYA experience online and share it on OUYA fb and forums. Hell group up together and blast away. There's a special place in hell for that ugly fat cunt Julie.
Creator Mohammad on October 4
there is a ghost at my OUYA... it starts by itself ... as if it's begging me to try it :P
I started it like twice and found out how horrible it is and laggy controllers are ... what a waste !!! this could have been a big thing... but greed has killed the project

Full week has gone by since they told me that they're shipping the reproduced LE units asap without any sign of it. Deja-vu for how many times I don't know because I lost track of it...
Creator Datashifter on October 1
Thanks for trying to dick me around with the refund, fucktards! I guess the threat of a credit card chargeback finally got you to drop the game of "if you can tell us when you paid..." and FINALLY got you to give me my fucking refund. You know damn well when I paid, as you could always have referenced Kickstarter, but instead all you wanted to do was play games.
I cannot wait to see your company FAIL. I also hope you all die soon and burn in Hell, especially that dumb lying bitch Julie Uhrman who misrepresented pretty much everything about Ouya and delivered a heap of junk for a console, complete with a loud fan, shitty controllers with sticky buttons and absolutely NO PLATFORM OPENNESS AS PROMISED.
Fuck you all, and I can only pray the rest of the world sees through your bullshit before they make the mistake of investing in you, OR your product.

Creator Nisham Supian on September 28
Received a FedEx shipment notice a few days after lodging a complain through Best Business Bureau (bbb.org), a course of action I would recommend to those backers who have yet to receive a reply from those Ouya wankers. My backer ouya should be delivered in Singapore next week, hopefully. I won't be backing these fuckers again.
Creator Squishymaster on September 26
Did I already miss the shouting match about how the console itself isn't etched like they said? Cause I wanted to join. Or how about how the etching isn't actually etching? My controllers were printed on. "Etching is the process of using strong acid or mordant to cut into the unprotected parts of a metal surface to create a design" As the dictionary says is what I expected.

Urine Test for Ketones
Topic Overview Back to top
Ketones are substances that are made when the body breaks down fat for energy. Normally, your body gets the energy it needs from glucose (sugar). If your body cannot use glucose for energy—for example, if your body doesn't make or use insulin—ketones are formed. You might also have ketones if you are not eating enough carbohydrates and your body uses fat for energy instead. Your body wants to get rid of ketones through urine.
Ketones in urine is most common in people who have type 1 diabetes. It is an early sign that there is not enough insulin, and blood sugar may be dangerously high. This can lead to diabetic ketoacidosis, a very serious medical problem.
You can test your urine for ketones at home using specially prepared tablets or plastic strips.
- Collect a urine sample in a clean container.
- Follow the manufacturer's directions on the bottle of test strips or tablets.
- If either the test strip or the urine changes color when the tablet is dropped into the sample, ketones are present in your urine sample. The test results are read as negative to 1+ to 4+ or small to large. If the results of your ketone test show that the ketone level in your urine is more than 2+, or moderate, call your doctor for advice.

Links to HEAD: | (view) (download) (annotate) |
Sticky Tag: |
use double-quotes when loading diffstat.js
adapt stattrans.pl alioth URLs (view/diff/download) after wagner upgrade
this should fix po/TODO: # TODO: there a bug here: if the translation .po files doesn't exist (i.e. # nothing translated), the stats are incorrect.
fix #690331 copypage and stattrans cleaning
Mention the host and time for hit data on stats pages.
Add i18n bot informations to web site translation statistics, closes: #642017
Remove useless Translation and Origin columns (data available in Diff columns)
Fix gettext stuff and update POT file; (fr) sync
Markup fix: added missing required type attribute to script tag.
Add legend for Total column
Remove useless revision attribute [ Nobuyuki Morita ]. Closes: #624717
Makes "files" and "bytes" translatable in per language statistics
Makes website translation stats available in other languages
(validate) Delete spurious ' and
 tags
Actually correct output directory
Correct output directories and give error information
Write WML files instead of HTML to enable the use of the new layout
Push international pages at the end of the list, since translators are not expected to translate them
Added an option for fetching website hit data from UDD, and enabled it by default. It falls back to alphabetical sorting if some required modules are not available or the fetch fails. Also added a note to the stats page mentioning the new sort order.
Added support for sorting files based on hit count.
Fix typo: Statistiks -> Statistics
Fix minor HTML error and use one 	 for [V] and [F]
- Always show link to log, so move it outside of if-condition - Add a link to view the translation source file
Switch links of CVS repository from cvs.d.o to alioth.d.o
Use charset from $lang/.wmlrc for HTML generation
Display current version of original document for untranslated files Helps to set the translation header correctly. Have not investigated why some documents get an empty version.
Don't die if a translation such as Malayalam doesn't exist yet
Add a link to the translated file in CVS http://lists.debian.org/debian-www/2008/11/msg00139.html [Jean-Edouard Babin]
since we have a fairly crowded table already, rather than displaying only one type of diff based on the -d option, display both, but let the option decide the ordering of fields; fixed up output formatting a wee bit
Apply patch by Luca Monducci to fix syntax error; minor other changes
List international/index.wml under general pages
Also make international pages a separate category
Fix typo
Improve section titles and index, minor HTML improvements, whitespace consistency
Split translation statistics for untranslated pages into three categories (general, news items, Debian consultants/users) to improve overview for translators and help them prioritize which pages to translate first
Made the percent calculation easier and added a decimal place to the number of translated files, in analogy to the size of translated files
Removed unneeded formatting functions
Added closing
 tags
Fixed another calculation error
Fixed an error in the rounding of percent values for statistics
summaries for tables and some other minor changes to make tidy happy
HTML strict and inclusion of CSS - patch announced on 20051109
Fix not translated bytes count
add stats on bytes to be translated (Closes: #256891)
Change address of FSF in GPL references Also fix some old paths (usr/doc and old common-licenses location) that I found while searching for the addresses
Hmm, of course my change did break something: stattrans.pl and the list of translation coordinators. However, on second thought I only need the entry in %trans and the sorting stuff anyway, not the entry in %langs which is causing the problems. So just removing (and removing the hack in stattrans.pl, too)
Fix broken languages due to changes in template/debian/languages.wml
Fix generated HTML code [Luca Monducci]
Fix the "no longer exists" bug Check if translation version is not too high Assume english is the original in case of missing translation-check header
Fix chinese stats
Apply patch by Nicolas Bertolissio to align the numbers (Closes: #256890)
Indentation, and remove some useless code.
Also display zh-tw stats in main index file.
Fix indentation
As requested by Chuan-kai Lin, generate zh-tw stats. Figures are similar to zh-cn, but links to translated files are different.
Avoid divisions by zero.
- Support files with suffixes other than .wml - Check files with .src suffix
Add link to log on cvs.d.o for outdated files.
* fixed handling of files where the original is deleted * some code cleaning (fixed my lists...)
Replacing , with \. makes no sense, do it for . instead ;)
don't display question marks when there's no maintainer, that's stupid and pointless for most translations
strings and pages are plural --> are instead of is
Repports about how many pages (or gettext strings) are to be translated
Repport the maintainer of outdated pages when known (to see who we should contact to offer help)
TOC entries shouldn't be on a paragraph on their own, a
 is enough.
Found bug, remove debugging output
Temporarily add debugging output to track a bug related to msgfmt
Fix anchors
wording fixes
Fix HTML
Moves the details of gettext files to the specific page about each lang ; leaves only a summary on main page ; implement TOC in specific pages
Do not abort when no translatable strings are found in PO files
Cosmetics to write valid HTML pages
Add stats about PO files
Fixed outdated translations statistics. Closes: #146893.
cut down on the spurious uppercasing
changed on www-master
standardize on this key's name so it actually works
The less the untranslated and outdated, the better
no need to continue after an error here (to do: write a proper help screen)
Sorry for the confusion, I thought we are calculating the up-to-date and outdated percentages with translations and not all the files - fixed that in the (mis)fixed outdated handling.
"English isn't necessarily the original anymore" -- It's not necessarily the original neither - I guess "Origin" is the most approriate term.
English isn't necessarily the original anymore
Added proper rounding to percent values for we are int()ing right there. Calculated percent_o in the same manner as percent_u.
Fix outdated percentage.
Simplify handling of non-english originals, remove outdated translations from up to date list, and ensure that percentages sum to 100.
Process pages which have no English version.
Display English translation status on summary page.
There was a revision number mismatch when checking pages that do not have an English original: X --> english --> Y did perform the same version checks as X --> Y, which is obviously wrong. [reported by Gerfried Fuchs and fixed by Matt Kraai]
Update these scripts to use modules found under Perl/
argh. this is the right match.
commented out arabic from the hash because we don't actually have an Arabic translation right now :/
devel/wnpp/wnpp.wml should be counted, just not linked to
removed this exception, doesn't exist anymore
added colors to the other columns. if too many people say it's butt-ugly we can revert it :)
Change the color sequence to go from red to yellow to green.
synced %langs with languages.wml (TODO: fix this), and it's sorted now
added more exceptions, thanks to Noel Koethe
fixed getopts; fixed mkdir (somewhat); added -l so you can generate stats just for one lang (TODO: several -ls?)
display language names with the first letter uppercased
added (modified) patch from David Martinez to display diffs
web site. Debian.
g+s dir (duh)
g+w dir
kludge around zh having sublangs by forcing -cn; empty ?_body variables before reusing so the english page is correct; skip checking english for outdated files; discard files that aren't there in english (doh)
made all variables use the long language name, so it's consistent; beautification of the program verbose output
getopt; nitpicks
made percentages hashes
made scanning functions be run only in one loop, and included outdatedness check under the translated; added stat for just up to date files; beautification
paths; cosmetics
use a proper htmldir
added a script to produce statistics about translations, made by Joey
This form allows you to request diffs between any two revisions of this file. For each of the two "sides" of the diff, select a symbolic revision name using the selection box, or choose 'Use Text Field' and enter a numeric revision.

Happy 234th, Marines. Semper Fi!
Posted by Max Barron in Personal on November 10, 2009
On this day in 1775 (also known as the 8th day) in a small tavern in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, a committee of the Continental Congress drafted an historical resolution – one that would forever change the nature of warfare, tilting the tables in favor of the United States in virtually every conflict and war since.
There, in Tun Tavern – a fitting birth place – a committee of the Continental Congress drafted a resolution to create two battalions of Continental Marines. These two small contingents of warriors would eventually swell in ranks and number and acquire a well-deserved reputation as the fiercest, bravest, strongest fighters since the days of Caesar's Roman Legions: the United States Marine Corps.

When looking at home wine making, there are many pros and cons to using a home wine making kit. This article will discuss both in an attempt to highlight those pros and cons.
Some of the pros to using a home wine making kit are basic in that the home wine making kit provides instructions for the inexperienced wine maker. They are very often easy to use and come with all the necessary chemicals needed to make a fortified wine. They are also quite inexpensive. This helps the wine grower in producing many wines in a short period if he or she wishes to sell the wine when done fermenting and bottling.
The home wine making kit also provides a system for producing a quality product that provides for all the needs of the wine maker. The actual juice for the kit comes in concentrated form, which you then would reconstitute, and the winemaking follows a very simple process outlined in the detailed instructions included with each kit. The wine is usually bottled after six to ten weeks. This provides a quick turnaround time for the wine maker.
Some of the drawbacks of using a wine kit are numerous. The main complaint or con to making wine from a kit is that the kit wine tends to lack some of the depth and intensity of wines made from fresh or frozen fruit, since the juice usually comes from concentrate. Another drawback is that often times certain things will get mixed into the batch that shouldn't be there out of carelessness or afterthought. Some juices often get mixed in that make the wine too tart or too bland.
Some of the natural juices often can evaporate. Also you have to be careful that you time your wine correctly. A lot of patience is involved in making sure the proper steps are followed and maintained. Also, one must really take the time to watch the mixture in case of problems so the recipe comes out the way it should.
All in all, the pros and cons to wine making with a kit shore up on the positive side as long as you follow the specific directions.

Verdict: Switched codes just two years and 52 appearances after making his debut for Wigan in 2005. He failed to win any major accolades in rugby league but his first season at Northampton saw him help the side to Premiership promotion with 39 tries in 25 appearances. Impressed during his third England cap in 2010 with a full-length try against Australia and equalled the record for the most tries scored in a test match in the following year's Six Nations against Italy.

From: Andy: Indiana
Comments: While this spinnerbait looks good in the package, the front blade does not turn. I purchased 6 spinnerbaits and they all run straight but the front blade does not turn. I would not recomend this bait.

Hello, all:
I have a question about intonation on the strings that cross the treble bridge. When a course is consistently sharp on one side of the bridge and consistently flat on the other, I'm guessing that that means the bridge is not positioned correctly, but is there a "quick fix" to shorten the flat segment of each string of the course, to achieve the correct intonation for both segments? (Okay, if "segment" isn't the correct terminology, please tell me what to call it!)
Also, just out of curiosity, is there such a thing as a hammered dulcimer with floating bridges (treble and bass, not the one-course or two-course bridges), or are the treble and bass bridges always glued to the soundboard?
Thanks in advance for any advice!

Valentine's Day gifts for her
Designer Erin Fetherston may not "kiss and tell," but she certainly will "kiss and create" when inspiration strikes.
As it did last year when she was out with girlfriends and became fascinated by the wide variety of lipstick prints they all left on napkins. Mwah! Each one unique. So she gathered kiss prints from her gal pals in her studio and designed a custom lipstick print, which appears on various items in her spring line, including a strapless dress, skinny pants and a cosmetics bag. No surprise-- the line is called "Sealed with a Kiss." And perfect for Valentine's Day.
We've gathered a bunch of other ideas, available in stores or on websites--which for a little extra shipping fee can get goods to you by Thursday. -- Joseph V. Amodio

Alcuin c. 735-804
(Also known as Albinus) English scholar, theologian, letter-writer, and poet.
Alcuin is recognized as a brilliant scholar and a key intellectual figure in Charlemagne's effort to reform education, often referred to as the Carolingian renaissance. As an instructor in Charlemagne's Palace School, he helped to transmit the great ideas of Latin culture from England to France. Without his contribution, many of the classics would be lost to modern times since English manuscripts did not fare well under the regular ransacking of the country by Vikings. Through his teaching, Alcuin spread the thought of St. Augustine, St. Ambrose, Gregory the Great, Bede, and others, instructing not only the King and Queen, but also their sons and daughters, clerics, and some of the most promising men of the continent. Under his supervision, numerous manuscripts were copied and circulated to monastic libraries. Alcuin was also instrumental in developing the Caroline Minuscule, a neat script that was easily read and written; in 769 Charlemagne decreed that all books and official records follow this style. Numerous great works of the past were recopied, specifically many classic Greek mathematical texts that would otherwise have perished. As a theologian, Alcuin worked on a revision of the Latin Vulgate version of the Bible, chiefly to rid it of errors made by copyists, and composed numerous letters and tracts refuting the positions of heretics. The Missal that he compiled was adopted by the Frankish church and gained popularity throughout much of Europe, leading to improved church unity. As Charlemagne's secretary, Alcuin undoubtedly edited and wrote numerous official statements under the King's name, but details about these efforts are scarce. He also wrote numerous educational treatises, but critics consider them relatively unimportant because of their lack of originality; much more valued by Carolingian historians are his hundreds of extant letters (most written between 793 and 804). Scholars note that it is difficult to underestimate Alcuin's influence, because many of his pupils took on important government and church posts in widespread locations, in turn impacting the lives of countless others.
Biographical Information
Alcuin was born in Northumbria in about 735. Little is known of his parents except that they were probably of high social rank. In about 740 he enrolled in the York cathedral school, founded by Archbishop Egbert. He soon drew the appreciation of Egbert and the master of the school, Aelbert, and accompanied the latter to the continent on several occasions in search of rare manuscripts. In 767 Alcuin assumed duties as director of the school, working to build it into one of the finest in all of Europe, including an impressive library. In 781 he met Charlemagne, who invited him to join the Frankish Dynasty at his Palace School in Aachen in order to develop an educational curriculum and a library. Alcuin kept this post from 782 until 796, returning to England only twice on assignment, between 786 and 787 and between 790 and 793. In 796 he was appointed Abbot of St. Martin at Tours, a position he held until his death in 804. Most of Alcuin's writings originate from the time of his service under Charlemagne.
Major Works
Alcuin wrote in Latin. When he composed his educational works, he was not striving for originality; he wanted textbooks for his students and drew largely from the works of previous masters. These treatises, all from 782 or later, are typically in the form of dialogues and include the Ars grammatica (On Grammar); De orthographia (On Orthography), a work indebted to Bede that consists of a list of problematic words and tips on using and spelling them correctly; Disputatio de rhetorica et de virtutibus sapientissimi Regis Carli et Albini magistri (Debate of the Wisest King Charles and the Teacher Alcuin, about Rhetoric and the Virtues), a fictitious dialogue addressing the choice of correct subjects for debate; De dialectica (On Dialectics), which again finds Charlemagne and Alcuin in dialogue, discussing the differences between rhetoric and dialectic; and Disputatio regalis et nobilissimi iuvenis Pippini cum Albino scholastico (Dialogue of Pepin, the Most Noble and Royal Youth, with the Teacher Albinus), a dialogue of riddles between one of Charlemagne's sons and Alcuin (who sometimes referred to himself as Albinus). His most popular moral treatise was De virtutibus et vitiis (On the Virtues and Vices), which drew on the ideas of St. Augustine. His theological works battling Adoptionist heresy include: Adversus Felicis haeresin libelles (798 or after; Book against the Heresy of Felix); Contra Felicem Urgellitanum episcopum libri VII (800; Seven Books against Felix of Urgel), Contra Elipandum libri IV (800; Four Books Against Elipandus); and De fide sanctae et individuae Trinitatis with the appendix De trinitate ad Fredegisum Quaestiones XXVIII (802; On the Faith of the Holy and Undivided Trinity). De fide was his most important and popular single work, and exists in nearly one hundred surviving manuscripts of all or part of its text. It covers topics from creation to the fall, to Trinitarian relations and eschatology. In it, Alcuin asserts that faith is the first prerequisite to true happiness. Alcuin also wrote several lives of saints and kings and some 130 poems. Perhaps his most celebrated poem is "Versus de patribus, regibus et sanctis Eboracensis ecclesiae" (780-82; "Poem on the Saints of the Church at York"), a history of the church at York. His poem "De clade Lindisfarnensis monasterii" (793; "On the Destruction of the Monastery at Lindisfarne") concerns the first Viking attack on England. Other significant efforts include "O mea cella" ("Alcuin's Cell") and "Verses de cuculo" ("Verses on the Cuckoo"). Perhaps the most important of Charlemagne's declarations actually penned by Alcuin is "De Litteris Colendis" ("On the Study of Letters"), which details the King's plan to reform education.
Critical Reception
Although Alcuin's accomplishments in the Carolingian renaissance have always been praised, his literary reputation was more that of a compiler than an original thinker. In modern times, however, critics are considerably more appreciative of Alcuin's contributions. Mark Damien Delp examines De dialectica and rejects criticisms that characterize the work as mediocre and merely a compendium. Delp explains how Alcuin transforms his material to meet theological needs. This skill is also examined by John William Houghton, who describes how Alcuin variously develops permutations of others' thoughts, takes portions out of context, and sometimes uses parts of an idea in order to argue a view antithetical to the original. Peter Dale Scott contends that Alcuin is also extremely underappreciated as a poet. Scott writes that in subordinating rhetoric to a functional role, Alcuin was taking "an important step in the evolution towards modern notions of poetry." In an essay on "Verses de cuculo," Scott declares Alcuin "the innovator of Christian pastoral," skilled in the use of symbolic imagery. Colin Chase argues that too many modern scholars make the mistake of imposing their theories, concerns, and preoccupations on the Carolingians, resulting in anachronisms. Chase examines one of Alcuin's most celebrated poems, "O mea cella," which is also analyzed by Joseph Pucci. Pucci writes: "Because his engagement of Virgilian pastoral is so convincing, Alcuin places himself in the paradoxical position of seeming to embrace precisely what he rejects at the poem's end: a love of earthly beauty." Andrew Fleming West examines Alcuin's educational writings, particularly Ars grammatica and De Orthographia. West states that, "in spite of their puerile character, they did more good service than anything else he wrote." Celia M. Chazelle analyzes a letter dealing with a theological issue and Martha Bayless analyzes Alcuin's "remarkable" riddle collection, the Disputatio regalis et nobilissimi iuvenis Pippini cum Albino scholastico.

[In the following essay, West surveys Alcuin's didactic works.]
Alcuin's writings have been preserved to us in tolerable completeness, and may be classified under a fourfold division. First come his theological works, which embrace the greater part, perhaps two-thirds, of all that he wrote. This theological portion may in turn be divided into four parts, exegetical, dogmatic, liturgical and practical, and lives of the saints. Of the remaining third of his writings, the major parts is embraced in his epistles, and least in extent are the didactic treatises and poems which make up the rest.
It will thus be seen that the greater part of Alcuin's writings have little connection with the history of education, and yet, even his theological works have incidental interest in this respect. Besides a few scanty gleanings from his exegetical writings, there are two of his practical treatises, On the Virtues and Vices and On the Nature of the Soul, which have a general connection with education, but beyond this there is nothing to be found. The epistles are of high value for the general history of the times, and more particularly for the abundant light which they shed upon the activity of Alcuin in his relation to...

[In the following essay, Scott credits Alcuin for helping shape the evolution toward a modern role for poetry, in which formal rhetoric is subordinated to a functional role within the structure of the poem.]
Much has been written in our century about the question of belief in poetry, and much about the question of rhetoric. I hope in this article to deal with both these aspects of convention (nomos) or habit: rhetoric being considered as linguistic convention or habit, and belief as a habituation of the mind. Style, which begins as a mode of persuasion or appeal to belief, eventually becomes transfixed in an exploration of linguistic habit for its own sake; but a period subjected to appreciable cultural and social change will ultimately come to look back upon this fixation of language as mannered and oppressive. To harmonize our inner and outer habituations, a readjustment of rhetoric and belief is called for. This occurred, for example, during the Romantic Revival, and many have called for it in our own time. I propose to study Alcuin, not just as a poet in his own right, but as an example of such a readjustment. In his age as in our own, language, the great conservative medium of a culture (in which all is convention and only the habitual...

[In the following essay, Scott examines the symbolic meaning of the cuckoo in a poem by Alcuin, arguing that he used this central image as a means of sublimating the expressions of desire contained within the poem.]
Though I believe Alcuin to have been the innovator of Christian pastoral, I cannot claim that he showed any great interest in perfecting the genre as such. Indeed, he seems almost to have stumbled upon it by accident. We must remember that, when he began to write, the terms pastoralis and ecloga were both too vague to have any precise connotation, though by his death they were re-established as formal genres.1 From the standpoint of his contemporaries, Alcuin's "pastorals" are always examples of some other form: the Conflictus Veris et Hiemis is a rhetorical synkrisis; his poems to Corydon and to Cuculus are each an epistola ammonitorialis currens.2 Though each of those poems, to some extent, echoes the formal arrangement of Virgil's Eclogues, and to good purpose, this formal echo is less important than the pastoral symbolic imagery which can also be found in Alcuin's other poems.3
The poem to Corydon, by its failure, shows that Alcuin did not easily...

[In the following essay, Chase takes other scholars to task for projecting their own attitudes and interests onto those of Alcuin.]
In recent years, a marked tendency towards deductive analysis has characterized Alcuinian studies. The purpose of the deduction has been to abstract from Alcuin's work a systematic treatment of areas of human thought which he dealt with only implicitly or casually. Thus, in 1959, Luitpold Wallach in Alcuin and Charlemagne1 outlined a political philosophy based on his analysis of the Dialogus de Rhetorica et Virtutibus, though Alcuin purported to be treating only the subject implied by his title, that is, the essential nature and manner of acquisition of the art of rhetoric and the four cardinal virtues. Again, in 1965, Wolfgang Edelstein in Eruditio und Sapientia concentrated on the letters in order to deduce a sociology for Alcuin and his period.2 Finally, in 1978, W. F. Bolton in Alcuin and Beowulf compiled references, drawn from the whole corpus, but principally from the exegetical commentary, the didascalia, and the polemical writing, to construct a theory of literary criticism according to...

[In the following essay, Chazelle outlines Alcuin's rejection of the theory of the atonement, which states that Christ's Passion was a ransom he paid to Satan in order to liberate mankind.]
Towards the end of his life, Alcuin wrote a letter to his emperor and friend, Charlemagne, concerning the significance of Christ's Passion. The letter, epistola 307 in Ernst Dümmler's edition of Alcuin's letters,1 focuses on Paul's statement in 1 Corinthians 6.20 that man's salvation was "bought with a great price," and seeks to answer the question of to whom Christ is properly said to have made such a payment. Alcuin states that his letter was prompted by a request from Charlemagne for comments on the teachings of a Greek doctor et magister visiting the Carolingian court, who had advanced the claim that the price's recipient was death.
The doctrine that the Greek magister defended, commonly known as the ransom-theory of the atonement, is the concept that through the Passion Christ paid Satan or struck a bargain with him for man's release from captivity: in return for the life of the God-man, Satan allowed humanity to go free. While various forms of the ransom-theory had survived in eastern...

[In the following essay, Pucci analyzes Alcuin's use of Virgilian pastoral language.]
The artistic, generic, and stylistic features of Alcuin's carmen 23 (MGH [Monumenta Germaniae Historica]), commonly called the cell poem, are novel, marking an advance on Merovingian poetics1, and symbolizing an invigoration of poetry-writing after several centuries of relative abandonment. Such features have inspired several generations of scholars at once to praise the poem and to agree upon the unities and assymetries involved in its creation2. Alcuin combines in this poem an array of literary modes that in other circumstances might well collapse of their own weight. Generically, he writes an elegy in mature couplets but his topic is almost entirely pastoral. Beyond the mere conflation of form to content is the addition of Virgilian pastoral language that is set side by side with Christian imagery. Additionally, the poem moves beyond the confines of a form that is already challenged by its content when, at its conclusion, it takes up the theme of lament with which it began, making it more properly elegiac again.
Moreover, Alcuin was able in writing the cell poem to concentrate on the strengths of Latin, especially...

[In the following essay, Delp urges a favorable reappraisal of one of Alcuin's short texts on logic, De dialectica.]
In surveying the scholarship on Alcuin's educational writings, one cannot help noticing the negative judgements leveled on his little text on logic, De dialectica. Although older scholarship tended to be harsh, using adjectives such as "miserable"1 and "mediocre,"2 more recent scholars have brushed aside De dialectica as a mere "compendium." The best that scholars seem able to acknowledge is that Alcuin was a great teacher and introduced important new material (such as the Pseudo-Augustinian Categoriae decem) to his contemporaries. On the contrary, however, Alcuin made important interpretations of his sources in De dialectica, and incorporated these interpretations in later anti-adoptionist treatises and letters.3 Thus, far from being an isolated compendium with a narrow educational purpose, De dialectica remained a useful reference work for Alcuin in his later years.
In his De dialectica Alcuin for the most part quite carefully follows source texts by either quoting verbatim or paraphrasing; and yet he also often uses and transforms select logical...

[In the following essay, Houghton contends that Alcuin was a skillful weaver of others' texts, not a mere compiler, and that his work speaks in a single voice.]
Depreciation—ridicule, even—of the Carolingian renewal of the empire is an ancient, if not venerable, tradition1, reaching back to contemporary sources: the Byzantine chronicler Theophanes the Confessor reports the events of Christmas Day, 800, with the mocking observation that the Pope anointed the King of the Franks "with olive oil from head to foot," i.e., that the Bishop of Rome did not even know the proper form for anointing a Roman emperor.2 The Chapel which Odo of Metz designed for Charlemagne's palatium at Aachen invites, by its borrowings of plan and material, a comparison with its models, San Vitale in Ravenna and the chrysotriklinos, the imperial throne room in Constantinople; but today, as in the ninth century, such a comparison easily suggests that the Franks were not up to the task they set for themselves. Even modern scholars of the Carolingian period often find themselves assessing the Carolingians as derivative and unoriginal, mere compilers inferior to their sources. At one recent conference of...

[In the following essay, Bayless examines Alcuin's collection of riddles.]
The early medieval period saw a flowring of riddles and riddle collections, both religious and secular, both earnest and light-hearted. To date the greater part of scholarly attention has been focussed on the Old English riddles of the Exeter Book, on the grounds both of literary merit and of mystery—the text does not include the answers, an omission that has provided happy occupation for decades of scholars. These two features—literary merit and mystery—also appear in what is perhaps a yet more remarkable riddle collection, the Disputatio regalis et nobilissimi iuvenis Pippini cum Albino scholastico of Alcuin.1 The Disputatio is unusual in that it intermingles prose riddles with wisdom literature; that, unlike all other examples of the form, it puts the dialogue in the mouths of contemporary interlocutors (one Alcuin, the other Pippin, the son of Charlemagne), and represents itself as conversation between them; and that, to a degree rarely seen in dialogues, it is playful, teasing and genuinely witty. For the most part,...

Police have identified two homeless people who were injured, one seriously, after they were hit by a vehicle Thursday night on Ramsey Street.
Terry Pearson, 39, was in critical condition Friday at UNC Hospitals in Chapel Hill, a spokesman there said.
Pearson and Angela Armstrong, 43, were standing in the roadway at 6:36 p.m. when they were hit by a Ford van driven by 25-year-old Adam Pelles of the 100 block of Buckingham Avenue, police said in a news release.
Pelles was traveling south toward Fayetteville on Ramsey Street and was attempting to turn left on Mullins Avenue when his van hit the two pedestrians, police said.
Armstrong suffered minor injuries and was treated at Cape Fear Valley Medical Center, the release said. A hospital spokesman said there was no record that she was treated there.
No charges have been filed, police said.

Seeking surplus value: Risk-free wins
by Kyle BoddyFebruary 06, 2013
At every level of every organization, baseball teams have a group of players they call "organizational players," or more accurately, "non-prospects." At best, they exist to provide depth for the team, and at worst, they exist to put a team on the field so the prospects can get plate appearances and innings pitched.
However, when organizational players make the leap to prospect status—or even major league regular—it's seen as a huge surplus value for the organization. Turning 30th-round draft picks into average major leaguers is something that not only the Tampa Bay Rays and Houston Astros can get jazzed about. For each cost-controlled player produced in this way, the New York Yankees and Los Angeles Dodgers can spend that many more millions of dollars on free agents, draft compensation and international pool spending.
Surplus value drives everything that front offices do when it comes to player acquisition and retention. However, while teams continue to pour money and understanding into the scouting and analytical departments, player development continues to lag. As I mentioned in my previous articles about how baseball failed two non-prospects, players who are no longer considered to be part of the pipeline to the big leagues tend to get shoved to the wayside.
Two anecdotes follow about my experiences with training baseball players:
An acquaintance of mine was a top-five-round draft pick as a pitcher out of college, and he earned a significant bonus as a result. However, after a few years of declining velocity, he began to fall out of favor in the organization. Desperate for help, he found out that the organization had a very expensive biomechanics facility where multiple high-speed cameras could film and digitize his pitching motion. Not knowing much about this, he tracked down the pitching coordinator and arranged to go through the lab.
After he did so, the researchers handed him and his coaches a printout with the relevant mechanical data (kinematics, kinetics, joint loads, angular velocities, etc) and he inquired on how this data could be used to improve his pitching performances. The coaches had no idea, and basically trashed the report, leaving him with a stack of paperwork that required an advanced understanding of kinesiology to grasp.
A current client of mine has been in the minor leagues for some time, having already been involved in a trade for another non-prospect. He sought out our program to improve/maintain fastball velocity, and despite having been in two "progressive" organizations, he said that the information I passed on to him was completely lacking at the professional level. He will be attending his first big league camp in an attempt to break into the parent organization's bullpen, and he felt he needed to look outside the organization for a reasonable fastball development program.
In a blog article I wrote titled Making the Sabermetric Argument for Increasing Fastball Velocity, I discussed what it would be worth to an organization to increase a replacement-level pitcher's fastball velocity from 86 to 90 mph (a common drop in velocity in journeymen pitchers—a great example being Scott Kazmir). The not-so-surprising answer is that it's worth a heck of a lot!
And so, I propose a basic risk-free model to adding surplus value: Take the group of pitchers you plan on releasing from baseball due to declining fastball velocity (this is a large group in any organization, I promise you), and offer them the chance to go through an experimental program in extended spring training or another venue to improve their arm strength. If they refuse, release them. If they accept (and many would, knowing the writing was on the wall), test out a six-to-eight-week program designed to improve their velocities. What do you have to lose?
Kyle Boddy is the owner of Driveline Baseball and Driveline Biomechanics Research, both in Seattle, Washington. At his facility, he's melded statistical analysis, strength & conditioning, prehab/rehab, and advanced biomechanical analysis concepts to develop improved efficiency, durability, and fastball velocity of baseball pitchers. He is the author of The Dynamic Pitcher, a comprehensive book and video set dedicated to developing elite youth baseball pitchers.

The massive storm that battered the Northeast last month first pummeled Santiago de Cuba in the southeastern section of the island, leaving many people homeless, Miami Archbishop Thomas Wenski said.
"The damage in Cuba was tremendous," said Wenski, adding that more than 100,000 homes and at least 13 churches were damaged. "The scale of destruction is very large."
The small cargo plane was donated by Raul Dube, owner of Miami Air Cargo.
For the past two weeks, the more than 100 parishes in the Archdiocese of Miami have been collecting money for storm victims in Cuba, the Caribbean and the Northeast, Wenski said. The archdiocese then bought food in bulk to send to the island.
The Rev. José Espino, pastor at San Lazaro Catholic Church in Hialeah and the liaison between the Archdiocese of Miami and Caritas Cuba, said Monday's delivery was a "drop in the bucket."
"There is a lot of need there," he said, adding that the challenge is actually shipping goods to the island.
Wenski said he is hoping Monday's shipment of food — which was expected to get there by Monday afternoon and be distributed by Caritas Cuba and Daughters of Charity — is just the beginning.
"We are looking at other ways we can help," he said.
