This week's Origins News Roundup features highlights from a recent conference of evangelical theologians, exciting human fossil finds, tell-tale lice, and a few words from the Pope.
Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.
Today's Origins News Round-up takes us from some cosmic data on the possible existence of life elsewhere in the universe, to some surprising theories about the origin of life, and some interesting general news and editorial items on science and religion.
Where is human evolution going? Where has human evolution been? A roundup of stories from the past few weeks.
This week in the news: a new conversation about rifts in the Christian church (sponsored by the Colossian Forum), a 46-million-year-old fossilized mosquito turns up in a Montana lake, and more…
In this series, Ryan Pettey offers several clips from his powerful documentary "From the Dust". This feature-length film is divided up into various sections, each of which wrestles with the difficult problems that arise when reconciling Scripture with the theory of evolution. A light of hope dawns on the science-faith conversation, however, as scientists and theologians engage in honest dialogue about tough issues such as the interpretation of Genesis, the nature of the Fall, and the idea of random design. Their profound insights are sure to enlighten all minds, raise deeper questions, and provoke new thought.
This entry was originally posted on February 17, 2010. In this video conversation, Jeff Schloss makes the observation that when we use the term "evolution", it is not always exactly clear what we are actually discussing unless we denote the intended usage.
This entry was originally posted on February 11, 2010. In this brief video, Professor Schloss addresses what he sees as the two primary reasons that evangelical Christians oppose evolutionary theory.
Astrobiology is the field of inquiry about the origin of life on our planet and the possibility of life elsewhere in the universe. Making a comeback is the theory that life began on Mars and emigrated from there to Earth via meteorites dislodged by collisions with asteroids.
We're excited to announce that the documentary From the Dust can now be purchased and rented through the iTunes Store!
Join astrobiologist Stephen Freeland for a look into the nature of information and the origins of life on earth. (These posts were originally published as a paper in the ASAs academic journal, PSCF, and are reprinted here with permission.)
If your core value is serving God and you believe that anything but a literal interpretation of the Bible is disobedient to God, you can't hear any of the scientific arguments, and that was the way it was with me. Until I dealt with the loyalty question, I could not proceed to the science.
This series features excerpts from biologist Sean Carroll's book, Endless Forms Most Beautiful: The New Science of Evo Devo, a well-wrought account of how the field of evolutionary development biology, or Evo Devo, has shaped our understanding of how animals evolve, by studying their development.
After we both exhaled some relieved laughter, I whispered, "I believe God created the world and holds it together. Just how he did that is up for debate, but whatever conclusions you come to about the earth's origins, God did it. Okay?"
What do today's pastors think about science? What views do they hold on creation and evolution and how strongly do they hold them? How do origins issues impact their ministries? These were just a few of the questions that motivated us at BioLogos to commission a survey of pastors on origins
Is the contemporary theory of evolution an example of good science? Biologist Michael Buratovich explore this question in a well-researched two part essay.
So what then does Resurrection mean? For Benedict it represents a new dimension of reality breaking through into human experience. It is not a violation of the old; it is the manifestation of something new.
In our current culture, we're defined by our jobs. It's having a vocation. I wanted to shift away from that. I didn't want to be a doctor first and foremost, or a scientist, but one who praises God.
To understand more clearly where Polkinghorne lies on the larger landscape of science and religion, let's consider his approach to the Resurrection. Many contemporary thinkers, including some theologians and clergy, believe that "science" has somehow made it impossible to believe in the Resurrection, the deity of Jesus, and even belief in the transcendent God of the Bible.

Huh? A 30' cabin cruiser that doesn't look like a stern drive-propelled bleach bottle? No multi-stepped, magic-lift hull? No rarer-than-plutonium construction materials? No double-turbo-electronically-controlled Mag engines? None of that stuff and it still cruises, runs and feels just fine using only single-prop drives?
The 300 Express Cruiser from Chris-Craft proves you don't need to be on the cutting edge to build a great boat. You just need a firm handle on what works. And Chris-Craft does. The 300's sensible layout, proven construction method and salty good looks inspire confidence and pride. With its competitive base price, the 300's attributes are sure to generate smiles as well. And smiling, after all, is what boating is supposed to be all about.
OLD FAITHFUL. The 300's conventional deep-V hull performed faithfully. With the test boat's 220-hp Volvo Penta 5.0 GL/SX stern drives trimmed under and humming, it rose to plane in 3.55 seconds with only a momentary loss of visibility over the bow. That performance is typical of most boats sharing the 300's steep, 21-degree transom deadrise when tabs aren't used during planing. Use them and you shave a half a second off time to plane and never lose sight of the horizon. In either case your tow toy days aren't over if you move up to the 300.
HIGHS: What a foredeck! And how about those salty good looks! A sensible layout that works well. Systems installed with style and aplomb. Nice hull - bring on the chop.
LOWS: Ouch! My head hurts. The windshield curve overhangs the port lounge. Ouch, again! Either limbo through the windshield or remove the Bimini.
On top at 24 mph the 300 ate the 2' and 3' wakes of a passing yacht squadron with ease. Its minimum plane of 14 mph, at 2600 RPM and full tabs, will get you through the rough stuff dryly and without pounding. The reason? Besides the deep-V, its 10'6" beam doesn't exceed the 3:1 length-to-beam ratio designers favor for sea-kindly hulls. On the hook for the night? Sleep tight. The 9,000 pounds of displacement and reverse chines will dampen the roll.
While cruising, you'll want to run it at 3500 rpm, enjoying the predictable and precise handling that deep-Vs are famous for and netting better than 2 mpg in the bargain. In all, the 300 delivers predictable performance that you can count on in a variety of conditions.

Reviews for Double-Drizzle Pecan Cookies(18)
Sort By :
Quite sweet - mixed the chopped pecans in the dough instead of on top. My daughter took one bite and said no more - it took no more than 5 seconds before she was asking for another bite. Beware these are addicting..
i made a double batch and cut the sugar down to 2 cups instead of three and they were still plenty sweet. On a single batch 3/4 to 1 cup would be loads esp with the caramel and chocolate sauce. I used canned milk instead of cream and sauce turned out fine. I toasted the nuts and put over half in the batter and finely chopped and rolled the cookies in the rest of the pecans. Be sure not to overcook as they turn out cakey instead of chewy. I put two hours on the timer instead of two minutes lol. So cooked them for a few minutes longer than intended till I realized my mistake.
Good one!!!!!!!!!!
This is delicious. and good

By the year 2104, humanity has embraced a period of primordial peace, harmony, stability, and prosperity. Advances in
technology now enables mankind to not only reach out beyond the Sol system, but to sustain settlements on other
planets. Vaccines for conventional diseases, such as cancer, have been developed. Alternative sources of fuel have
recently been found. Discoveries regarding human physiology now indicate certain individuals have been born with
physic potential. And following the aftermath of the first Interplanetary war, a unified Earth government now
administers the small empire humanity has carved into Orion Arm.
However this new golden age is now threatened by war. The overbearing influence of the Earth government, projected by it's
military forces, has led to a growing secessionist stance among those living outside of the Sol system. And while thus far
there has been only nonviolent resistance from the members of the movement, many fear that the more radical elements of
the movement will soon take more drastic measures that could inevitably lead to a costly, prolonged all out civil war
between loyalist and separatist factions.
Unbeknownst to the general public though, Earth has already taken the necessary precautions in in the event that direct
action is taken by the radicals. An elite special forces unit stands ready to take drastic measures of it's own in order
to preserve the peace. It's roster consists of men and women recruited from every branch of Earth's militaries, ranging
from the United States Marine Corps to the Russian Army. It's members have gone through years of intensive, inhumane
training designed to allow them near-superhuman capabilities. And not only has the unit been equipped with only the best
weapons, armor and gear humanity has to offer, but it's been granted considerable liberty and autonomy in order to facilitate
a successful operation as well. Finally, while it's existence has officially been denied by the government, those aware of it's
existence have already come to refer to it's members as the..

By Catherine Pritchard Staff writer
LUMBERTON - The Lumberton Housing Authority is being audited by federal authorities and is barred from making independent expenditures or contracts following a critical report on its management and financial practices and the ensuing departure of its longtime executive director.
The agency has been told to make numerous corrective actions, including repayment of nearly $300,000 of federal money that it spent on contracts that violated conflict-of-interest requirements.
An audit begun this week by the Office of the Inspector General of the Department of Housing and Urban Development will determine whether criminal charges are filed, said Kimberly J. Jones, the housing authority's lawyer.
The in-depth look at the agency's books is expected to last eight weeks, she said.
The audit was ordered after another HUD arm - its Office of Public Housing - issued a 32-page report in January outlining problems found during a routine review in March 2012.
"The results of the report are discouraging and indicate that there are systemic programmatic shortcomings within the administration of the housing authority of the city of Lumberton," wrote Michael A. Williams, director of the Greensboro field office of the Office of Public Housing.
In another letter, Williams told James Meacher, then the executive director of the housing authority, that the agency had violated conflict-of-interest requirements, lacked adequate controls over its disbursements and failed to maintain an adequate inventory control system. Williams said that because of concerns about possible improper expenditures of funds, the agency would be required to submit all contracts and most proposed spending to HUD for approval.
On Feb. 25, during a special meeting of the agency's board, Meacher retired. He had been with the agency 33 years. He could not be reached for comment.
At HUD's urging, the housing authority requested and was granted emergency management assistance from the Pembroke Housing Authority. On Tuesday, the executive director of the Pembroke authority, Lemark Harris, was named interim executive director of the Lumberton authority, as well.
Members of the housing authority's board, including newly elected Chairman Eric Chavis, declined to comment on the situation. They referred questions to Jones, the authority's lawyer.
Jones said Harris will lead the Lumberton agency and direct the efforts to correct problems identified in the HUD report.
She said the agency's board learned about the HUD report in early February and found it to be "extremely concerning and troubling."
Of particular concern, she said, is the report's statement that the agency should repay HUD $299,775 that the report says was improperly used to compensate two companies with whom the Lumberton Housing Authority had a conflict of interest. According to the report, one company - B&A - is owned by the wife of the housing authority's inventory purchasing specialist, Ivan Watts. Since 2007, the report said, B&A received non-employee compensation of $265,545.
The report said the other company - B&L - is owned by two former housing authority employees, Anthony Brayboy and Frankie Lowery. The report said Watts, the husband of the owner of B&A, worked in his off hours for B&L along with two other current housing authority employees, Roy Rogers and Ricky Nance. Since 2011, the report said, B&L received $34,230 in non-employees compensation from the housing authority.
The 64-year-old Lumberton Housing Authority operates 729 public housing units at 12 sites in the city, provides 596 housing assistance vouchers through the Section 8 program, and runs a 24-unit project-based voucher development.
Last March, the agency was selected by the Office of Public Housing in Greensboro for an on-site review of its compliance with HUD regulations and approved board policies and procedures. It was chosen in part because of the "longevity of time" since its previous such review, the report said.
During the week-long process, the HUD team found numerous problems, including violations of policy and lack of sufficient controls.
It said the agency's board lacked the capacity and the training to provide adequate oversight of the housing authority's operations. It said board members would be required to complete such training.
Among problematic practices noted in the report: Meacher signed housing authority checks that were made out to himself and signed his own leave slips in violation of HUD rules. The report noted instances of improper record-keeping, a lack of communication between the maintenance division and public housing operations; and policies that were outdated, insufficient or simply not followed.
For example, the report said leases weren't being terminated for criminal activity or for nonpayment of rent. The agency lacked procedures for removing people from its banned list, meaning someone placed on the list as a teenagers could never get housing even years later.

GPU clock management changed significantly with Kepler, and not all of that is correctly reflected in nvidia-settings, yet. At this point, I believe what you are seeing is strictly due to nvidia-settings reporting deficiencies, rather than the driver not taking proper advantage of the GPU clocks.So for any Kepler owners running the NVIDIA Linux driver, the graphics card should be running at the correct frequencies, it just might not be reported that way for now. Coming up tomorrow will be the long-awaited NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680 Linux benchmarks and review.
For a little more detail:
* On Kepler, select clock domains, such as what nvidia-settings calls "graphics", have a range of possible clock values per Performance Level, and the driver dynamically adjusts within the range of possible values per clock per Performance Level.
* I think what is getting reported in nvidia-settings (both in the PowerMizer page and GPU3DClockFreqs) is the minimum value of each range.
You can be confident that the clock is certainly not running below what is reported in nvidia-settings, and it is likely running above that.
We'll work to get nvidia-settings updated to correctly report clock information on Kepler.

Todd Lodwick WebsitesAthlete Photo Gallery |
With five Olympics and ten World Championships under his belt, Todd Lodwick has one of the more impressive resumes in sports—but the 36-year-old isn't done yet. After a lull in 2012, Lodwick showed that he still has the ability, passion, and perhaps more importantly, the drive to compete on the international stage in 2013. In what he considers an "up and down" season, the Steamboat Springs native grabbed a victory and a runner-up finish at the two Sochi Grand Prix events in July. He then followed that up with a sweep of the first three Continental Cups in Park City/Soldier Hollow. Lodwick experienced a dry spell around mid-season, but ramped things up for the World Championships, taking third in the short hill team event. With the 2014 Olympics right around the corner, memories of Vancouver 2010's historic Team USA silver in nordic combined come flooding back, as do Lodwick's two gold medals at World Championships in 2009. The two victories signaled a second coming for Lodwick, who had emerged from a two-year retirement to top the biggest podium of the year. Lodwick's early career included 18 U.S. titles (he has since added two more) and a Junior World Championship gold. He, along with teammates Johnny Spillane and Billy Demong, have helped grow the sport in the U.S. from relative obscurity to international prominence in a little under two decades. The evidence is in a rising wave of strong U.S. competitors. Where once Lodwick led the U.S. charge, he will now battle for his sixth Olympic team with a solid group of U.S. hopefuls—an interesting, but welcome 'problem' for one of the skiers that started it all. TODD SAYS The Olympics is the pinnacle of our sport, so coming off a year of some pretty low points, I'm just really looking forward to next year and making sure that it doesn't happen again. I learned a lot this year. I learned that I have to get used to the new style of ski jumping. I'm up for the challenge. I've got a lot of goals I want to accomplish next year and the season starts now. We've got a countdown to the Olympic Games and I can't wait for every day to be as productive as possible.

Shoppers rank Halfords lowest on the high street
Shoppers put beauty shop Lush at the top of the high street shop customer service charts, with Halfords ranked last.
Shoppers tired of poor customer service, products or even store layout have taken their revenge by ranking high street shops - and Halfords was sunk to the bottom of the list.
The car and cycle repairs shop was voted the worst, with one punter referring to staff as "unhelpful and rude" in a damning verdict for the store, which received a customer satisfaction score of just 51%. WH Smith wasn't racing much further ahead, with a score of 52%.
Consumer champion Which? carried out the research and questioned more than 11,000 people. Scores are based on price, products, service and store, as well as after sales or returns.
Top marks
Ethical cosmetics shop Lush topped the tables with a score of 83% - beating John Lewis and Apple, which both scored 81% and shared second place.
Lush was praised for its "friendly and knowledgeable staff" as well as its "high quality products".
The ten highest rated shops all scored over 70% and in addition to first and second place the list includes: Lakeland, Clarks, Richer Sounds, the Disney Store, IKEA, Morrisons and Bon Marche.
Some of those on the list match the results thrown up by another, similarly-themed survey by Verdict Research. To find out who came top of that list read The UK's favourite shop.
Bottom rung
It's highly likely that some of these stores are concentrating solely on cost-effectiveness over warm and fuzzy customer relations – Poundstretcher being a prime example. Anyone's who has stepped inside a Primark is equally likely to appreciate the price more than the ambience of the shop, which often ends up looking like it's been ravaged by looters at the end of a busy Saturday.
Here's what Halfords had to say: "At Halfords providing great products and a high level of service is a top priority. Our feedback shows that thousands of customers each week love the help we provide. We are working hard and investing to improve our offer further and to provide an even better experience for customers."
Squeezed budgets
Which? fired a warning shot to the big high street players to up their game, as people are becoming "choosier" about where they spend their money in the face of squeezed household spending and competition from online retailers.
More than half of shoppers admitted they were shopping less than this time last year and 41% of consumers said they preferred to shop online because it is cheaper and easier to compare prices.
The majority of respondents (57%) said they tend to buy more online than they do on the high street.

San Francisco's Colin Kaepernick will become just the fourth quarterback to start a Super Bowl in his first season as a starter. The list:
1 Vince Ferragamo, L.A. Rams, Super Bowl XIV: After just five regular-season starts, Ferragamo threw for 212 yards in a 31-19 loss to Pittsburgh, which won its fourth Super Bowl title.
2 Kurt Warner, St. Louis Rams, Super Bowl XXXIV: Warner, who had played in the Arena League and stocked shelves at a supermarket, was the MVP after throwing for a Super Bowl-record 414 yards in a 23-16 win vs. Tennessee.
3 Tom Brady, New England Patriots, Super Bowl XXXVI: Brady led a game-winning drive, capped by Adam Vinatieri's 48-yard FG, to lead the Pats past Warner and the Rams 20-17.
4 Colin Kaepernick, San Francisco 49ers, Super Bowl XLVII: Took over in November when Alex Smith was out with a concussion and never looked back, running the zone-read out of the pistol all the way to New Orleans.

Dear Linux Magazine Reader,
Despite all the talk of alleged patent infringement issues with Linux, no one seems to have any details. Given that problems are everywhere and nobody has any real answers, I've always thought the Open Source community
should get off the defensive and start raising some new arguments. A closer look will reveal that patents are nowhere near the biggest risk a software customer will face. The GPL assures the right of the user to copy software. The closed source industry, on the other hand, makes if clear you are in big trouble if any software they sell your company gets copied. The chances of a customer getting sued for flakey and ill-defined patent nuances is extremely small, but the chances of a customer facing lawsuits for rogue employees pirating closed source software is very real.

Definition from Nolo's Plain-English Law Dictionary
A term commonly used to describe both the process of submitting a document to a court -- for example, "I filed my small claims case today" -- and to describe the physical location where these papers are kept. Traditionally, a court's case files were kept indefinitely in one or more cardboard folders. Today most files -- especially those for inactive cases -- are stored electronically.

By Randy Tucker
Medicare provider payments will be cut by nearly 30 percent on Tuesday that would affect nearly 2 million beneficiaries in Ohio, most of them elderly.
The cuts stem from Medicare's sustainable growth rate formula, which was established to keep payments to doctors under control. But the formula routinely cuts too deep for doctors to continue providing care, so Congress each year since 2003 has passed a so-called "doc-fix" to fill the gap.
Obama has proposed eliminating the growth rate formula as part of his plan to avoid the fiscal cliff, but no deal is imminent.
That means Medicare payments would be cut by 27 percent beginning Monday on top of a 2 percent reduction called for in sequestration.
"It'll just end up restricting access for Medicare patients," said Baird of the Dayton Physicians Network. "We would have to try to change our patient mix and extend those Medicare visits out farther…so it might take a lot longer time to get an appointment."
In past years, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services has delayed processing claims until Congress took action to avoid significant cuts.
Even if that were to happen this year, it would not offer much relief to the Dayton network's 36 members and their Medicare patients, which comprise about half of the practice's clients, Baird said.
"Being an oncology practice, we do a lot of high-cost procedures that cost us a lot of money, so it's important that we maintain our cash flow," Baird said. "So even if Medicare was to delay it (payment cuts) by two weeks…it would still result in a huge cost increase for us and a decrease in our cash flow.
"If this were to go on for an extended period, we would have to try to change our patient mix and look at limiting the number of Medicare patients we could take," he said. "And if it gets really severe, we would have to look at our business and determine if we would be able to do anything with salary, staff and any of the locations we have."

http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/ and http://www.tonymacx86.com/forum.php I'm sure i forgot some important other forums. I do not see a good reason, why we should start here from point zero. And we have neither a flood of hackintosh-related posts on MR nor a big need to compare Mac Pro and Mac mini computers to hackintosh computers. Correct me, if i'm wrong! I've convinced myself, that a hackintosh is not necessary for me (software development & video encoding). However, i see where such a computer can be useful (labs, industry, et cetera).

Your best bet is to use those two forums for your hackintosh needs. There is the odd hackintosh thread here but for specific and dedicated help you can't beat those two sites.

How to Make Fingernails Grow Faster
Long fingernails are sexy and elegant. Here's how to make them grow faster.
Nails grow at different rates, but there are some general rules of thumb — no pun intended — that apply to everyone. The longer the finger, the faster the fingernail will grow. Nails grow faster in warm climates, so that means your fingernails will grow faster in the summer. Nails also grow faster when your body is fighting the flu. On a diet? Your nails will grow slower. Your pinkie nail grows the slowest, your thumbnail the next slowest. And sorry, ladies: Men's fingernails grow faster than yours, and the speed of your fingernail growth probably peaked by the time you were 14. But on average, fingernails grow about 1½ inches per year. That said, there are things you can do to make your fingernails grow faster. Here's how:
- Check your nutritional habits. Extreme dieting, especially diets low in protein, can cause fingernails to weaken and break, which impedes their growth. Make sure you consume a sensible number of calories every day, and modify your diet to include protein-rich foods like lean meats, chicken, eggs, low-fat cheese, and soybeans. Not sure your everyday food intake is optimal for growing fingernails faster? Drink a protein shake and take a multivitamin daily.
- Got milk? Drink some every day. The vitamin D in milk will strengthen your nails and promote growth.
- Vitamin A has been shown to help fingernails grow faster. Up your intake by eating carrots, mangoes, and apricots.
- Drink your vitamin C in orange juice. This helps the production of collagen, which helps skin stay firm and allows for healthy, fast nail growth.
- Get the blood flowing to your nails to stimulate growth. It's no secret that pianists have long fingernails that require constant trimming. Why? Because blood is constantly flowing to their fingernails, stimulating growth. Other fingernail growing activities are typing, sewing, gymnastics, cooking, gardening, and any other tasks that require you to use your hands a lot.
- Stay warm. Nails grow faster in hot climates. If it's cold outside, be sure to wear gloves and keep your hands warm at all times to increase blood flow to your fingernails and stimulate growth.
- Use a nutrient-filled nail polish to make fingernails grow faster. Apply a layer each night to make fingernails grow even faster.
- Get manicures regularly. You can do them yourself or have them done by a professional. Good hand and nail hygiene and maintenance improves the health of your nails and will keep them growing strong.
- Here's an odd one: Rub garlic on your fingernails to help them grow faster. Leave on fingernails for a half hour and then rinse. Rub a lemon on your fingers to remove the garlic smell.
A proper diet and some special attention to your hands can make your fingernails grow faster.

At the World Economic Forum meeting, Microsoft discussed the potential of Natural User Interface technologies to address greater societal issues.
Editor's Note: Because tomorrow is Data Privacy Day, we are marking the occasion by profiling Microsoft's Chief Privacy Officer and digging deeper into the privacy implications of location-based services. We've also asked Dr. Ann Cavoukian, the Information and Privacy Commissioner of Ontario, Canada, to share her latest thoughts on "Privacy by Design." Dr. Cavoukian is widely credited with originating the concept of Privacy by Design, which is a major focus of the Federal Trade Commission's recent report on online privacy.
The U.S. Federal Trade Commission's recent Do Not Track proposal has been attracting a great deal of attention in business circles.
While supporters and detractors debate whether the proposal addresses the mounting concerns about online behavioural tracking, industry leaders – including Microsoft, Google, and Mozilla – are rising to the challenge, announcing Do Not Track features in upcoming browser releases.

Since 2007, Microsoft's Innovative Schools program has been connecting educators from around the world to share ideas and best practices for creating new learning models, and inspiring students to engage more deeply and direct their own education.
This year, we are excited that four schools in the United States have been selected to participate in the Innovative Schools program as Pathfinder schools. A Pathfinder school is a school that has a vision for or is in the early stages of implementing innovative programs.

Technologies and services that track, analyze and share individuals' movements have proliferated in recent years. With more and more people connecting to the Internet through mobile devices, and with location based services surging in popularity, new concerns are emerging about how individuals' movements are tracked and analyzed.
In recognition of Data Privacy Day on Jan. 28, Microsoft is releasing new research on consumer awareness of location based services and their privacy implications. We commissioned a survey of 1,500 people in the U.S., United Kingdom, Canada, Japan and Germany to evaluate consumers' understanding and use of location based services. We found that respondents expressed strong concerns about privacy and how location-based data is compiled and used:
This year, we're doing something a bit different at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.

October 19th, 2011: Last year there was a Dinosaur Comics missed connection that ended okay and inspired a Feel Free To Talk To Me If I'm Wearing A Dinosaur Comics Shirt Day.
We're doing it again.
EARLY WARNING: I'm gonna call December 19th, 2011 as this year's official Feel Free To Talk To Me If I'm Wearing A Dinosaur Comics Shirt Day! Here's what I said the first time around that still totally applies!
If you're single and you'd like to meet someone who maybe reads the same comic as you, THIS IS YOUR CHANCE. If you've got one of my shirts, wear it, and if you don't have one, you can keep an eye out for someone who does! And if something awesome does happen, please email me about it: it'd be totally amazing if everything works out.
Okay, so the problem is - what if you're happily in a monogamous relationship or if you're NOT looking for anyone or whatever? You can not wear your shirt on the special day, or if you do, you can politely let folks down easy as I'm sure you're used to doing, and I say this because every reader of my comic I've ever met is attractive. Not even a joke there. It's kinda crazy.
And please note that this is not "Feel Free To Be Totally Creepy Around Me, That's Awesome Day". This is just a day where an small group of clothing articles has been semantically overloaded for a self-selected group of people to say "Hey, talking to strangers can be hard, but here's your opening, and here's maybe a hint that I'm not against meeting someone new."
Good luck everyone!! Here's what to wear and what to keep an eye out for. Everyone find happiness, OKAY??? I'll remind you again as we get closer.
ps: if you see someone carrying around T-Rex with them you should already be talking to them, I mean COME ON
pps: facebook event! To make sure the best gifts ever in time get to you when you want them, here are the HOLIDAY SHIPPING DEADLINES. Orders placed before these dates will get to you in time for Christmas! One year ago today: i assure you second place remains first loser; once again i am forced to reiterate: NO FEAR – Ryan
December 5th: All shipping methods except U.S.P.S. First-Class Package International Service� are safe.
December 6th: International orders made not selecting U.S.P.S. Priority Mail Express International� shipping will likely arrive in January.
December 11th: USPS FIRST CLASS and STANDARD may not make it in time and neither will USPS EXPRESS MAIL INTERNATIONAL.
December 16th: ALMOST NOTHING IS SAFE. USPS EXPRESS is the only safe USPS option.
December 19th: A CHRISTMAS MIRACLE (IF THINGS PLACED ON OR AFTER THIS DATE ARRIVE BY THE 24TH, THAT IS)

For generations, children have cautiously guarded their behavior at Christmastime, careful not to end up on Santa's "naughty list." For 24 days, parents warn children to behave, noting that Santa is always watching. However, in recent years, Santa has gotten new little helpers to watch over boys and girls.

If I use 2 RS150's as the mids I would not need all of their combined gain and will have to pad them down. My question is should I connect them in Parrallel or Series? I do not know what the gain would be in series. I know it will be 6db in parrellel. I do not know how 16 ohms will affect my amp which is rated at 4 and 8 ohms.

Colonel Carl Pfeiffer retired from the United States Army in 2009 and is the author of three books, It Never Ends, The Terrible Life of Carl and It Never Ends, Comrades, Crimes and Conspiracies. His third book Someday! is about being a Buffalo Bills fan.
Throughout his life Carl regaled friends and family with the stories of his crazy life, each time leaving his audience laughing or crying and saying, "You should write a book." For years Carl had the desire but could never find the time. After retiring from the Army he suddenly had the time to write and what emerged was The Terrible Life. A hilarious account of his life as a teenage loser growing up in suburban America. Inspired by the reaction to his first book, Pfeiffer continues to write in his funny, witty and unique conversational style. Among his varied interests, Carl first and foremost is a fan of the Buffalo Bills. Since 1977 Carl has cheered on his hometown team and in his book Someday! Pfeiffer compiles his emotions and dreams about the team he so wishes could just once win it all.

Gaming Clubs Are the Future
Retail gaming stores are a dying breed. Amazom.com, et al. are killing them for reasons too numerous to list, but most (or all) of which youre well-aware. At this point, some metropolitan areas dont have retail gaming stores serving them (unserved areas), while areas with gaming stores (served areas) see them going out of business. The DC area is fortunate to have six stores servings the area, though even we have seen some attrition with the closing of the Woodbridge Game Parlor. (The stores are Dream Wizards, Game Parlor, Labyrinth Game Shop, the Family Game Store, Curio Cavern, and the Game Vault.)
Gamers in unserved areas are clamoring for the same support given to served areas, but WotC is unwilling to do so because they need a brick and mortar location to which to send the materials. Otherwise, theyre just sending adventures to their customers at home without charging them. Thats not a good business model for a company that makes money by selling those products to their customers.
Unfortunately, theres a reason areas are unserved. Opening a retail gaming store is tough. Even Borders went bankrupt, and they had a broader product line, which in turn leads to a broader customer base, and as a result they had the advantage of being able to sell in bulk due to a larger inventory. If you plan to opening a more focused shop that serves only a small segment of the overall population, and your metropolitan area is small, you should file for bankruptcy the next day. It just cant work in the digital age.
Gaming Clubs Are the Future
Unlike retail stores, the existence of gaming clubs is in no way dependent on retail sales. Gaming clubs arent usually profit-bearing operations, and meeting their rent can be as simple as charging modest dues or establishing a pay-per-play system. Some might be lucky enough to find free space to organize their games at a church, community center, etc. In short, they can survive the move into the digital age despite a smaller client base and focused set of products and services.
Show Me the Money
When I brought up the issue with a couple of WotC folk at DDXP, they both asked the same question: What do you want from us? The real question, is what do they want from us, but if their answer is, Nothing; were good, then theyre dropping the ball in a serious way. Gaming clubs arent just an opportunity to grow the hobby in small areas; theyre bound to be the only opportunity to grow the hobby in any areas. If WotC feels that D&D Encounters and Living Forgotten Realms are effective marketing tools and they must considering how much money theyve invested in them in the past and present then theyre going to need a vehicle to support it long after the retail stores close.Originally Posted by WotC
Nevertheless, I answered the question, admittedly in a crude, simplistic way, just to keep the conversation going. I suggested that, without spending one more dime then theyre already spending on their website, WotC could put a link to the Gamers Syndicate on their homepage as the "gaming club of the month." Imagine the publicity that would provide us. Wed have more members, and a new influx of GMs qualified to run both D&D and other games. Wed get bigger, and people would buy more product. Moreover, it would inspire other gamers to start their own gaming clubs, knowing that doing so might get them front-page exposure. This would have a snowball effect on the national scale, and in a way that isnt impacted negatively by the move to the digital age.
As a side note, for areas like Washington, DC, a gaming club program shouldnt encourage gamers to operate out of non-retail space. Supporting retail gaming stores is still the best way to serve the community and surest way to assure the programs accomplish their goals, so as long as an area is a served area, the programs should still operate through those stores. Ill leave it to the game publishers to determine the details.
Clearly, Im placing this burden on WotC, because, regardless of how you feel about them, theyre the industry leader, both financially and in terms of vision. Theyve supported multiple living campaigns over the years, theyve provided a program for new players (i.e., D&D Encounters) with top-notch production values, and theyve provided a suite of digital tools that, despite criticism, is like nothing else provided by any other company in the industry. If this idea is to take off, it will do so because WotC proves it works. Considering my ideas dont have the costs associated with D&D Encounters and DDI, Id expect that proof would inspire other companies to follow suit. Remember, this idea isnt designed to get us free stuff were the paying customers. Instead, its (ultimately) designed to improve game publishers sales, which in turn provides us with the gaming opportunities to which weve grown accustomed and for which were more than willing to pay.
Exactly who loses in that situation?

A Florida woman who claims that she was injured by Teva's generic version of a brand drug manufactured by Wyeth and Schwarz Pharma can't sue any of the companies, an Eleventh Circuit panel ruled on Tuesday. The panel found that the woman's claims against Teva were barred by a U.S. Supreme Court ruling, and that her claims against Wyeth and Schwarz were barred by Florida law.

What now? I don't know, you tell me
What now?
I have no idea and it will tax my creative abilities, I think, to get us through the next couple of weeks here.
Worlds are over – and I would have picked the USA to win, honest! – and media day at camp doesn't arrive for two more weeks and if there's a way to get a 1,000 words and a handful of marginally entertaining items here every day between now and then, I probably should get some award.
So, did the best team win the worlds? Yeah, probably.
The Americans were full measure for their win, Kevin Durant was the best player in the tournament as it turns out (I still would have had Luis Scola as MVP if he'd taken his team to the final) and they did beat back all the opposition.
But having seen a lot of games in person and on the tube, I don't think this means the Americans are head and shoulders above the rest of the world by any means.
It was a good win by a good team against good competition and I honestly think that when it comes to worlds and Olympics, you can never, ever suggest any team is going to have an easy time getting to the medal podium.
And it's going to make future tournaments even better.
When I started doing this eons ago, there was never a doubt about who was going to win; no there is and it's great.
This has been, I think, a very educational summer with regards to international basketball, the depth of talent out there and the style that's played.
We haven't really had a chance to watch it closely because of the absence of the Canadians from any truly significant tournament since the 2002 worlds and it's been kind of cool.
Hope you enjoyed it.
Okay, here's the deal on what the American win at the worlds does for Canada.
Not a heckuva lot, actually.
Yes, the United States now becomes the first team to qualify for the 2012 London Games and I guess that makes it a bit easier for Canada to get in but, really, not a whole lot.
There are still only two – TWO – spots for FIBA Americas and seeing how there are teams like, you know, Argentina (the hosts) and Brazil in the region, it's still a very, very, very long shot Canada gets there. The most likely way would be for Canada to get invited to the last-chance tournament that will be held next July and has the final four Olympic berths at stake.
The Olympics are so, so hard to get into, some of us figure Canada's destined to sit out the men's tournament until it expands from 12 to 16 teams, which FIBA is pushing for in time for the 2016 Games.
Right now, the field is:
The world champs, one each from Africa, Asia and Oceania, two from Europe and the Americas and four out of the final qualification event.
So yes, technically, it's a good thing, I suppose; in reality, it doesn't really do a lot.
Remnants of the mail and there's more to parcel out this week:
Q: Doug. Thanks for good international hoops reporting plus as always travelogue experiences. Help us understand what you learned about the MAIN DIFFERENCES between NBA play and play at the world basketball championships? And, what can we conclude about HOW players play for their national teams vs how they play professionally ( e.g. Turk ). What might explain the differences: spirit, effort, teammates, native language, fans, coaches, int'l style of play?
Charles N, Toronto
A: Aside from the technical stuff – exponentially more moving screens, a lot of grabbing and more drive and kick to three-point shooters than you'll see in a month of NBA games – there was one thing that really, really struck me: The passion.
Of everyone from players to coaches to fans.
I think because it's a shorter tournament with so much at stake and representing one's country means so much, the intensity level is so much more consistently high, it always catches me by surprise when I get to things like worlds or Olympics every second year or so.
That energy does not translate into a long, drawn out NBA season and it really is what makes the international game stand out.
You know how I'm always saying there are no "new" plays and everyone runs the same stuff and it's all about execution and reacting to what defences do? Well, I hope more than a few of you watched my Beloved Storm beat Atlanta in the WNBA Finals opener, a totally delightful game before a packed house with all kinds of drama.
Well, the game comes down to a final possession in tie game and what does Seattle run?
High screen-roll with Sue Bird and Lauren Jackson, Bird comes off the screen, gets some space and drills the game-winner with less than two seconds left.
It's the same play you'd see run in deciding moments of games at every skill level.
Game 2 goes Tuesday.
So Super Wife's about to celebrate Birth Week in the not-too-distant future (a concept I invented that's now been co-opted by the entire dang family) and I'm terrible at gifts.
I'm always looking around for ideas out there in the big wide world and whilst prone on the couch last night, it hit me:
Lady Gaga shoes!
I was kind of watching the big MMVA's last evening – I know, a total departure from form – and I have to say this without equivocation: I do not get it. I guess I'm not supposed to get it but, still, I really, really don't get it.
One thing we're going to be all over here in the next little while is the national women's team, which is in Europe in the final stages of preparation for their world championships that begin next week in Czech Republic.
They went 1-2 at a tournament in France over the weekend, beating Japan and losing to the hosts and to Belarus.
The loss to Belarus is the most interesting part of the thing, that's a team that's in the same preliminary-round group as Canada at the worlds and one it'll have to beat to have a legitimate chance to advance.
But, as we know, any "exhibition" game ahead of a worlds is just that; it's the same on the women's side as it is on the men's in that teams have a tendency to hold things back a little bit, especially against teams they'll have to face when it really counts.
The women are off to Athens this week for a couple of games against Greece in their final tuneup.
How 'bout those Catch-22s?
Who? Remember back in the day when I kind of blew the reporting of the Greatest Dragon Boat Team Known To (This) Man and I got in the doghouse a wee bit from Super Wife, who finally decided to give this thing a read and noticed the error?
Well, I'm told (and I only witnessed one of four races) that they rowed paddled (she got me, again) to glorious victory in their division at the Great White North regatta on the weekend and, seeing how I like to eat and live and all, I better mention it and get it right.
Way to go, team.

A download manager can save you time if you download a lot of large files from the Internet, but it can be annoying to have to grab a link from your browser and pass it to the download manager manually. With the FlashGot extension for Firefox, you no longer have to. FlashGot sits between the two applications and fuses your favorite download manager with your Web browser.
This tutorial shows how you can install and use AVG Antivirus on an Ubuntu Feisty Fawn desktop. Although there aren't many Linux viruses out there, this can be useful if you often exchange files with Windows users - it can help you to not pass on any Windows viruses (that don't do any harm to Linux systems) to Windows users.
Wireshark is an open source network protocol analyzer. It allows you capture packets from a network interface and then analyze their contents. Wireshark can be downloaded and installed from Ubuntu's repositories:
Until now, Parallels has had problems compiling the the newest ubuntu kernels and now is working absolutely great on my ubuntu machine, i just ditched qemu, virtualbox, and vmware! Dont ditch yours just yet untill you have a feel of this Virtualization Solution that has suprised the hell out of me.
So far I have tried Windows XP, and PC-BSD and they both run much smoother on my box, it has new technology that takes full advantage of your hardware.
Here are some features..and a direct download :)
I am writing this guide as a concerned member of the Ubuntu Community. Security is a concern for us all and in welcoming new (and experienced) users to Ubuntu I would like to demystify the complexities of security that come with your new OS.
The Mythbuntu team is happy to announce the release of Mythbuntu Alpha 4. This release is also based on Gutsy and should be considered Alpha quality until final release. It is at a very usable stage, and sports bleeding edge packages.
The Common UNIX Printing SystemTM, or CUPS, is the software you use to print from applications like the web browser you are using to read this page. It converts the page descriptions produced by your application (put a paragraph here, draw a line there, and so forth) into something your printer can understand and then sends the information to the printer for printing.
IBM will join the OpenOffice.org community and contribute code and resources, the company announced today. IBM has been a major supporter of the Open Document Format (ODF) which originated at OpenOffice.org, but hadn't yet taken the plunge to help out with the development.
If you have a point-and-click digital camera made by Canon, you may be able to turn on all sorts of features usually reserved for more expensive SLRs. That includes live histograms, depth-of-field calculation, under and overexposure highlighting, and -- best of all -- shooting your pictures in RAW. The secret is CHDK, an enhanced, free software replacement firmware.
Normally Linux systems can only read from Windows NTFS partitions, but not write to them which can be very annoying if you have to work with Linux and Windows systems. This is where ntfs-3g comes into play.

Mozilla Firefox is one of the most popular Web browsers around today. But what does the Mozilla team have in store for us along security lines? To find out, let's take a look at the pre-release version of Firefox 3 (code-named Gran Paradiso 1.9 Alpha 7).
Following on from my recent exploration of Heretic, I next tried Hexen. This has been motivated by my curiosity; while we've all played Doom and Quake to death, these two interim games just never seemed to get the press.
The latest Firefox 3 (code name Gran Paradiso) development release (nightly) includes the very important and expected ability to pause downloads and resume them across sessions, that is even after restarting Firefox.
Beagle support in Ubuntu has been less than stellar up until this point (across all releases), and unfortunately, the best that we can really hope for in the immediate future is acceptable.
Ubuntu users: When you try to compile and install an application from source, occasionally you will run into missing packages that you just can't seem to find with apt. A tool exists in the form of an IRC bot that can help you locate exactly what package you need to install.
Lenovo is choosing Linux distro for their laptops, vote for Ubuntu! More hardware vendors offer Ubuntu, better drivers and collaboration with Canonical to come.
Linux enthusiasts talk top news stories, trends and any other subject regarding Linux and Open Source!
When, in June 2006, Ubuntu Dapper Drake was released, it introduced a very exciting new feature: the ability to run it from a USB drive (also pendrive, USB bar or memory stick). This would work just like a LiveCD, with the big improvement that all your data could be saved onto the USB drive! This means not just your documents, but also e.g. network settings or your desktop background. You were practically carrying around a fully-functional operating system on your USB drive!
I personally hate myspace due to the spam and lameness, facebook for me is a little better, but for those people with girlfriends that are nagging, "why did you change my operating system, I need myspace IM" blah blah blah... Here it is, a reverse engineering hack for myspace IM...

it is slower and can you please add the date when the discussions where started??
I Think its Cool.
I Wish you all Would Add Music and Appearance to Members. we have no control of groups like we had before.
I Just love Linkin Park
New Site doesn't load on IE9 (at least for me) - it flashes before your eyes and is then a blank page (never gets to the circular loading screen).
However, if you bring up the developer tools (hit F12) and then refresh the page, it will load properly and work (even after you close the developer tools) - until the next restart of the browser. You need to repeat the process.
Also, since IE8 appears as obsolete, that means any user running XP and not running an alternative browser won't access the site.
Please fix.
The new site doesn't work with Internet Explore - it goes all white. I was forced to download Google Chrome and use that instead. Not cool.
To be honest, I don't like this website design much, using Mozilla Firefox. Why only black/grey/white design? Now when Living Things Album is out shouldn't the website be more colourful? A Living Thing isn't black and white. Overall doesn't look much up to date for 2012 standards. Sorry for crtitique, but that's how I see it.
Yo fellow Linkin Parkers,
This site's appearance is damn nice- I mean, bang on! It looks so modern... But at a cost.
It takes hell of a time to load!
And please make it a bit colorful....
With regards..
The design of the site is really great! I just think that the site is very complicated and confusing. Instead of having one central site where I can add blog posts, add friends, etc. (like on LPU.com), here I have to go to the single sections. It took me ages to find out how to post a blog, because I expected that there is an "add blog post" button on "My Page", but instead I had to go to the "Blogs" section. It's probably easy when you know the site, but it takes a long time to find everything.
It took me a while to figure out how to navigate, it's not the most user-friendly site out there, but once I learned I'm not having any problems moving around. Visually the site is nice, if a little monotone. I haven't had any problems clicking links or getting the drop down menus to show up (I use Firefox 14, just for info) but for some reason pictures are having issues loading.
The spammers are really trashing the place though.
I can't figure out how to create a new discussion.
I'm trying to create a new discussion in "Linkin Park Live".
It looks really nice from what I've seen so far! One complaint is that the second tier of the bar at the top seems a bit small. Keep having to back-track. If you don't know what I mean by second tier, I'm talking about like Community>Forums and things on that red bar.
Everything is coooool, but we need to think more about best connection peoples & Stuff, like:
1.Make able to share Facebook Groups to be part of linkinpark.com
2. Community pages i mean the First Make Personal line, aside having blog, video, group, we should be able to have page in linkinpark.com and we must be able to share our FB's page as community page in LP site
3. linkinpark.com should have straight chat room, like when u come in page, u could be able to see your online friends and open personal chat room with open activity symbols,
4. able for video online chat for members and fans, together, whenever they went from site not skype, not mix not anything else, a personal chat line like right of the page we have
LP Blog
we should have another line to name
Video Chat
but IN THE END Everything Going Cooool
this site makes better if there is a chatbox.. chatbox for the forum sites creating bridges of communication for bloggers and web surfers. Chatwing is working excellent as a free chatbox and chatroom. Also, the group chat feature is working very good for groups of any size you can create your personal vanity URL like:
Gamers can now rely on the Chatwing chat widget when it comes to fast and real-time communication. Now, gamers can discuss tips, walkthroughs, and other information through the simple Chatwing application.
The Chatwing chat widget is now on the mobile scale. This chat application can be used for different online purposes such as blogging, social media expansion, and even online marketing. The Chatwing chat application is geared to become mobile-friendly, flexible, and versatile.
