French Vanilla Survival Server
Why should you join Empire Minecraft?
Empire Minecraft is in a league of it's own. It is the best Minecraft survival server you will ever play on. Most servers either classify themselves as vanilla or non-vanilla. We've been dubbed by many of our loyal members as a 'French Vanilla' server. Despite having one of the most custom experiences you'll ever find in a Minecraft SMP server, you'll always have that 'Just Outside Vanilla' feeling. Whether you're all about braving it in the wild to gather resources for your amazing build, while running into Custom Mobs and challenges, or you want to dominate the market by having the best mega mall in Town, EMC has everything you need and more!
Recommended Server: SMP6smp6.empire.us
Every player on EMC gets a huge grief free 60x60 residence, on which they can build what they can please! No style guidelines, no building Rules. Just create your own epic creations! And what's best? You can claim one as soon as you join, and it doesn't cost any Rupees, or require any rank! These Residences are automatically protected to you and you alone. No griefing can occur on your residence as you control all permissions! If you have some close friends you wish to allow to help, you have the power to do that as well!
We understand that PvP is not for everyone, so thats why on Empire Minecraft, there is absolutely no PVP on our Minecraft Survival Servers! Players can rest assured that there is not a Spawn Killer waiting around every corner!
Empire Minecraft is home to a large handful of new mobs and mob bosses that you've never seen before on any other survival server. The best part is, you don't need to download any outside plugins or mods to experience them! Our creative staff and Community team is always on the prowl to come up with new and exciting mobs, bosses, and Custom Items to earn by battling them!
Another custom experience with Empire Minecraft is the ability to team up into custom Groups with your friends and earn elite bonuses and rewards for doing work with them. Have a large excavation project to work on? Simply form a group with your team and earn faster building perks. Want to go out on a mob hunt? Take your group out with you and earn better drops and experience for defeating them together! Empire Minecraft is focused on being a strong Community oriented server.
What are you waiting for?

Titles among the Damned arent always primogen or prisci. Somebody has to do the dirty work. From fighting Lupines to hunting rogue Cainites, from enforcing the Traditions to leading a crusade, a few bold vampires step forward to the head of the charge. Those vampires are the unsung champions of the night.

Eldritch Texts and Kindred Blood
Blood magic, the jealously guarded secret of Clan Tremere, has long been observed with a wary eye. Is it the power of summoned demons? An application of the Blood's mystic properties? The will of spirits? Or is it something else altogether? Only those who master its dark secrets can know.

Hidden Sorcery
While the Tremere have potent magic at their command, Hermetic tradition isnt the only source of mystic power. The ancient ways of Egyptian magic, the Sufic trances of the Middle East, sacrificial Hindu rites and the natural magic of Caribbean craft can all be used to affect the Final Nights. But what are these thaumaturgies capable of?
Centuries ago, House Tremere splintered from the Order of Hermes to become a cabal of vampire warlocks. The two established an uneasy truce until now. Desperate to reclaim its heritage, the Order of Hermes declares war on its errant kin, while the vampires hope to trap the mages with their blood sorcery, ensnaring wizards into the Jyhad. Is it the end for both or the beginni... [click here for more]
Hidden behind veils of secrecy and mystery, the Black Hand serves as the martial arm of the Sabbat. When the blood and fire of the sect's packs and prisci fail to win the night, the Black Hand arrives like a grim cavity on the cusp of the night. With all its autonomy and authority, however, the Black Hand has turned upon itself - does it ... [click here for more]
Older than both of the warring sects combined, Cairo sits perched atop the Nile like a pharaoh upon a throne, but all is not well in the city.

Not all Kindred follow the sacred Path of Humanity. Some forsake their mortal ethics, giving themselves wholly over to the vampire condition. Others abandon the moral struggle altogether - and find themselves in the throes of frenzy. How can the race of Caine steel itself against its murderous impulses?

In the world of the Kindred, vampires lurk behind every shadow, planning their machinations and watching their prey. But who watches the watchers?

Who are the most feared and mo... [click here for more]
Children of the Revolution tells the stories of noteworthy or notorious Kindred of the modern nights whose Embraces came in times of unrest, rebellion, or open revolution.

In Chains of Night and Blood
The Vampire Lucita is a prisoner to the fanatical monsters of the Sabbat, who are forcing her to hunt for a hidden enemy and powerful shadow-caster. Every night in captivity further erodes her soul and enslaves her to the sect born of the murder of the tyrannical progenitor of Clan Lasombra.
But soon enough, these concerns fade before ... [click here for more]
Into the Abyss
Lucita faces her ultimate test. Mad Lasombra attempt to raise the Clan Founder from the depths of shadow, and what they call forth risks to consume the entire world. Can she stop them and deal with the Sabbat who still want her to stand trial for her sires murder? And what does Montano, most ancient of Lasombra, want with her?

Longest day, eternal night
Among the thirteen clans of the Kindred - vampires who secretly manipulate human events - the Toreador are dismissed as hedonists. They accept this as the price of preserving that which is beautiful...particularly themselves.

The clans of Caine have only recently seen the true face of Clan Assamite.

The history of Clan Brujah has been one of struggle and passion since its first nights. Whether challenging the tyranny of feudalism or rallying against stagnant institutions, the Brujah take their fight into the modern nights.

The sands of Egypt conceal a frightening menace a cult of vampires dedicated to their fallen lord.

Embraced by a fallen clan during nights long past, the Giovanni have always had ambition. Now they bring that ambition to bear on a world they would claim for themselves. With vast wealth, the ability to command the spirits of the dead, and a strict familial hierarchy, the greatest enemy to stand against Clan Giovanni is itself.
The Final Nights have twisted the nobility of the Keepers clan, turning them into the aristocrats of that diabolical sect. Their legacy of shadows eclipses the light thrown by their packs ritual fires. But are the Lasombra truly the esteemed leaders of the Sword of Caine or do they simply abuse it to serve their own ends?
The childer of Malkav bear two curses: undeath and madness. From emotionless sociopaths to raving lunatics and everything in between, the Malkavians nonetheless command startling insight. Does what they know drive them to madness or does their insanity allow them too peer into a world the rest of us fear to see?
Of all the Kindred, the Nosferatu most resemble the Beasts they hide within. But the clan is far more than a motley assembly of twisted freaks. From their first nights to their modern incarnation as informants and spies, the Sewer Rats have as many secrets of their own as they have gathered from other Kindred. Up from the storm drains and tunnels they scuttle, but whether a... [click here for more]
Long held in ill regard by other Kindred, the Deceivers nonetheless claim one of the oldest legacies of all the race of Caine. A young, vibrant clan, the Ravnos adapt, making the most of a hostile world and turning it to their advantage as best they can. To that end, was their near-total annihilation a Biblical punishment or a rebirth from the ashes of t... [click here for more]
More than just a simple clan of artists, the Toreador helped found the Camarilla and have extensive dealings with the mortal world. More than any other Kindred, they feel the damnation of the Embrace, as it extinguishes the flame of creativity for which they long. But what passions inspire the Toreador after they receive the Embrace?
From her first night among the Kindred, the neonate Tremere leads a double unlife. Bound not only by the traditions of the Camarilla but by those of her clan, the Tremere must find a place for herself in her own hierarchy and in the deadly world of vampires. Learn the magic of the Tremere and the rigors of earning status in the clan.
From the antitribu who forged the Sabbat to dreaded Dracula himself, the Tzimisce have carved an indelible place for themselves among the society of the Damned. The modern nights have caught up with these monsters, however, who have fallen from their place as masters of hoary estates to degenerates bound by the callous whims of the Sabbat.
Noblesse Oblige Capitalists, aristocrats, crusaders and criminals: the Ventrue have assumed the prestigious but demanding role of leaders. Forever in the line of fire, they have sacrificed their own comfort for the good of all Kindred. Or is this all an empty ruse that excuses their excess and greed? the proud history and black secrets of the clan reveal the truth.

Scions of the Great Clans All Kindred froom neonates to elders accept the primogen as the voices of their clans in a prince's domain.

Gary, Indiana is a dying city.

The Roll of the Damned
For centuries, the Kindred have hidden from the wary eyes of mortals. Enigmatic creatures, the Kindred's efforts to uphold the Masquerade have often succeeded even beyond their own desires, and a few of the damned in the modern nights even know those outside their immediate domains. But the long and terrible history of the undead is as broad and sweeping as... [click here for more]
The Cities are the Kindreds Domain
The Kindred are hidden masters of cities, growing sated on the blood of the vessels within. Their domains are built on the backs of the mortals they prey upon, their fortunes made by proxies, their havens visited by the famous to the infamous. The night belongs to those who can take what it has to offer.
Break the Walls Down Kindred society is stagnant, and it favors the priveledged. Elders claim domain over rights that, by their nature, belong to all of Caine's childer. Princes and archbishops alike abuse the very social contract that gives them the power they wield. What's the answer? Open revolution. Bring down the system!
The end of the millennium is at hand. The Final Nights are here. The proud Camarilla is beset by doubt, betrayal and the rage of its enemies. The Masquerade has worn dangerously thin. Not even the most powerful Justicars are safe. But this is not the end, for the wounded beast is the most dangerous. The elders of the Camarilla will not let their dream die without a fight.

The Sabbat are depraved monsters, reveling in their Damned state and herding the kine like cattle. Or so it would seem to the uninitiated. In truth, the Sabbat wage a secret war on the elders, struggling night after night to free themselves from the tyranny of the dread Antediluvians and the Jyhad itself. But are their tactics effective or simply horrific?

Almost every Kindred has a haven, and those who dont are a sorry lot indeed. From a princes sprawling estate to the steam-tunnel nest of a Nosferatu, havens say much about their owners.

Africa has long been a bastion of mystery in the World of Darkness. Finally, the domains south of the Sahara are revealed - and the laws of Western Kindred hold no water here.

Let us see typically desktop-y applications: quick browsing shows regular users of Firefox (iceweasel really) at 33%, libgstreamer at 27%, evince at 26%, libgphoto2 and openoffice both at 25%. To put these figures in perspective, Apache is at 44% and Samba at 27%.
There are lots of bias in the sample: only utter geeks would install popularity-contest, and only properly connected machines will show up. I would counter that both things pretty much describe Debian's audience. IMHO saying that 50% of Debian users have it as a desktop is a good estimation.

I mean, when I said it, I meant people I actually know in person and I know what they're running.
Now, as I don't make a habit of going around asking people if they're running Ubuntu or Debian or what, my sample size is about 5 people.
One of those I know used to run a Debian laptop and I *think* he is running Ubuntu now but possibly not. I know the other 4 are running Ubuntu.

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=311185 -- as of 2007, more testing for stability required; 'realtime patch' also mentioned, I have no idea if that still exists for current kernels or whether it's been merged
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=496871 -- request for benchmarks (along with "please stop waffling", great way to interact with users, kernel team...)
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=539209 -- filed recently (July 09) but no reply
Does anyone actually have any benchmarks demonstrating the efficacy of the pre-emption options?
Posted Sep 2, 2009 16:57 UTC (Wed) by drag (subscriber, #31333) [Link]
Technically a preemptive kernel will be slower then a non-preemptive one in most complex benchmarks. This is because going from process to process rapidly means more context changes and thus you lose out on cpu memory cache and all that.
But since the desktop is idle 99% of the time then it's easy to make the justification that it's worth it to say "Ya it takes a couple milliseconds longer to open a webpage, but this way I can do it without getting my music interrupted or keep my game/movie framerate high."
Intel developed a tool called latencytop that can be used to identify processes that are hogging the system and can causing usability or deterministic time problems.
Remember the point to having 'realtime' performance is not to make things _faster_ per say.. it's to make things more deterministic. So you know how long it will take to get something done. On a very hard-ish realtime system you can say "It's going to take a maximum of 30msec to accomplish X task" and you can depend on it. On a typical Linux server system it may take 5-10msec most of the time to do the same amount of work, but if something else is going on then it may take 500msec or more; You can't tell how long something is going to take, even though it's likely to get done faster on average.
This sort of trade off is what you need to keep your video smooth, games fast, music interrupt free, scientific measurements accurate, robotic assembly machines from zapping the wrong parts of a chassis, etc etc. Anytime you need to interact with the real world....
So ya.. benchmarks are very difficult and are skirting the issue.

Blue/Orange (2005)
Joe Penhalls gripping 2000 play about three men in a
The attending psychiatrist is Bruce (John Simm), a young, new doctor
who wants to extend the patients stay, believing him to be schizophrenic.
Particularly troubling for Bruce is the fact that Chris has begun insisting that oranges
are blue and that he is Idi Amins son. Despite those new developments, the senior
consultant, Robert (Brian Cox), wants to release the patient and warns that keeping him in
the hospital too long might make a return to normal life impossible. He also wonders about
the role of race in the diagnosis of black patients.
An additional factor in the doctors argument about Chris is the
government policy of de-institutionalizing mental patientstreating them
with drugs on an outpatient basis. In
Like the original play, this adaptation reveals the cynicism behind
de-institutionalization, but goes beyond a simple critique of that policy. Chriss
borderline status precludes any easy answers and Robert points out the real stigma the
patient will endure if he is diagnosed with schizophrenia:
Its not treated with some glamorous and intriguing wonder-drug like Prozac or Viagra. . . They make movies about junkies, alcoholics, gangsters . . . But schizophrenia, my friend, is just not in the phone book.
For his part, Chris observes the increasingly ugly battle between
his doctors, which confuses him and intensifies his paranoia. Bruce and Robert come to
represent the conflicting thoughts in Chriss own mind and the camera angles
accentuate the link between the doctors external struggle and the patients
internal one. The language is especially compelling. The characters carefully parse and
rearrange key words, which serve not only as tokens of sanity or insanity but also as
weapons. The process will be familiar to fans of David Mamet, but Penhall covers new and
interesting ground.
All three acting performances are strong. Brian Cox is excellent as the
ambitious Robert, gradually and artfully revealing the baser impulses that reside beneath
the doctors polished professional demeanor. Shaun Parkess searing portrayal of
Chris is the heart of the show and he is particularly good at giving life to the menagerie
of concoctedand also legitimatefears that haunt the patient. One
misstep, however, is the art direction in one sequence. During a crucial lunchtime
conversation between Bruce and Robert, the two face off in a blue-lit lunchroom while
Robert peels an orange on the table between them. The metaphor is far too obvious and it
detracts from one of Penhalls richest scenes. Even so, Howard Daviess
direction is strong overall and the performances create an almost irresistible momentum.

St. Regis Mohawk Tribe, New York State Agreement Ends Exclusivity Dispute
The St. Regis Mohawk Tribe and New York State have reached an agreement that will end a three-year dispute over the tribe's gaming exclusivity zone and revenue-sharing from its slot machine profits and begin a process to resolve the Indian nation's longstanding land rights lawsuits.
Both St. Regis Mohawk Tribe (SRMT) and New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo issued press releases on Tuesday, May 21, announcing the agreement, which has been memorialized in a Memorandum of Understanding. The MOU is "the first step to addressing longstanding land claims with Franklin and St. Lawrence Counties, outstanding issues with the New York Power Authority and resolve the revenue sharing dispute with New York State," the SRMT release says.
"We've waited many years for a governor who was willing to sit down with all the parties to the land claim to come to a negotiated settlement," SRMT Chief Ron LaFrance Jr., one of the tribe's three chiefs, said. "Governor Cuomo has accomplished much in the short time we've been meeting directly with him. He has given us assurances that our outstanding issues will be dealt with fairly."
Cuomo congratulated tribal leaders for their cooperation. "By working together and finding common ground, the state and Saint Regis Mohawk Tribe have reached a fair and reasonable agreement that will grant the tribe exclusive gaming rights in the north country, and provide the state and local governments with their share of revenues from the casino," Cuomo said. "I commend the collaborative spirit in which all parties came together to forge this agreement."
As part of the agreement, SRMT will pay the state $30 million – part of the slot machine revenues the tribe has withheld in an escrow account in a three-year dispute over a violation of its exclusivity zone, which includes Franklin, St. Lawrence, Clinton, Essex, Hamilton, Jefferson, Lewis and Warren Counties. The tribe discontinued slot revenue-sharing payments to New York in late 2010, maintaining that the state had violated the tribe's gaming exclusivity zone by allowing the installation and operation of slot machines at the Ganienkeh Territorial Bingo, which is located in Clinton County about an hour away from Akwesasne, the Mohawk territory.
The state will divide 25 percent of the $30 million payment between St. Lawrence and Franklin counties, providing $3.75 million to each county, which includes the payments to the affected towns in each county. "The tribe will resume making on-going revenue sharing payments according to the regular schedule as defined in the compact amounting to 25 percent of net gaming revenue. The state will divide 25 percent of its share between St. Lawrence and Franklin counties," Cuomo's press release says.
In exchange, the MOU will guarantee that the SRMT will retain its exclusive authorization to operate slot machines within its eight-county exclusivity zone – a guarantee already established in the tribal-state gaming compact – by a promise that Cuomo's proposed legislation to authorize seven commercial casinos in the remainder of the state will exclude those counties.
The proposed legislation to expand gaming in the state requires approval by voters at a referendum that Cuomo wants to hold in November, according to the New York Post.
The MOU also provides for the governor to "convene discussions among the state, the tribe, and St. Lawrence and Franklin Counties to resolve unrelated disputes involving land claims and New York Power Authority issues." The remaining revenue share will be held in escrow pending resolution of these outstanding issues.
The SRMT-state agreement comes less than a week after the announcement that the Oneida Indian Nation and New York State has entered a historic agreement to end all disputes over land rights, tax issues, gaming exclusivity and profits between the two sovereigns. As part of that agreement, the Oneida Nation agreed to collect sales tax equal to or greater than New York State and counties' taxes on cigarettes, motor fuel and other items sold by Indian retailers to non-Indian customers and must adhere to the state's minimum pricing for cigarettes. However, the announcement from SRMT and the state made no mention of cigarette taxes. (Related story: Oneida Nation and New York State Enter 'Historic' Revenue Sharing)
St. Regis Mohawk Tribe Chief Randy Hart, who was not in Albany on May 21 for the signing of the historic agreement, said that Cuomo "reached out" to the Mohawk leadership a week ago. "We saw this as an opportunity to reopen discussions on settlement of our (land) claims. To our surprise, the governor accepted the challenge. Our claims have been in the courts of the United States for over thirty years. This is the first time since 2007, that New York State has been willing to sit down and talk settlement. We are optimistic that, with his commitment and with all of the parties at the table, we can make real progress."
The SRMT's land rights claim includes an area of approximately six square miles guaranteed as Mohawk territory in the 1796 Treaty with the Seven Nations. Last November the federal government intervened in the case in support of the tribe's claim. (Related story: Federal Government Supports Mohawk Land Claim)
St. Regis Chief Paul Thompson said Cuomo has shown he is "sincere" in his commitment to bring together all of the parties, including the tribe, St. Lawrence and Franklin counties, and the New York Power Authority, together to resolve the tribe's outstanding claims. The power struggle goes back several years. In March, 2009, the tribe protested to then-Gov. David Paterson about a unilateral decision by the New York Power Authority to divert electrical power that was supposed to be set aside for the tribe's use. (Related story: Power Struggle Sparks St. Regis Mohawk Protest)
"For the counties and the Power Authority, a negotiated settlement will bring finality and the beginning of a new relationship with the tribe," Thompson said. "We look forward to working together on these and other matters of significance to the tribe and to our neighbors." Thompson signed an agreement with former Gov. George Pataki in 2003 that was to resolve many of these same issues, according to the SRMT press release. "This governor has the ability to make things happen," Thompson said. "We believe it is about time that the state follows through on the promises made to the Mohawks in 2003, and later with the signing of the Land Claim Settlement Agreement. We thank Governor Cuomo for agreeing to help make that happen."

Foreign Minister Rohitha Bogollagama at a meeting last Saturday (02nd May 2009) with Japan 's Representative for Peace Building to Sri Lanka, Ambassador Yasushi Akashi, stated that Sri Lanka is encouraged by Japan 's continued interest in seeing the establishment of peace in Sri Lanka and its continued constructive engagement in Sri Lanka. The Japanese Special Envoy was in Sri Lanka on a three-day visit last week to meet Government leaders and officials. Pointing out that Sri Lanka is on the threshold of defeating terrorism unleashed by the LTTE, the Foreign Minister stated that the next phase in this aspect is post-conflict rehabilitation, reconstruction and rebuilding for 'sustainable development' in bringing about lasting peace for the people of Sri Lanka. He expressed Sri Lanka's appreciation for Japan 's continued support for the immediate needs of the IDPs and for post conflict development efforts in the country.
Minister Bogollagama conveyed Sri Lanka's gratitude to the Government of Japan for their decision to pledge US$ 4 million grant aid through UN agencies for IDPs. Ambassador Akashi was briefed on the ongoing efforts by the Government and the close collaboration with the international community as well as UN agencies and the ICRC, in supplying the needs for the displaced population including food, shelter and health facilities. Further, the Minister briefed the Special Envoy on the additional measures in place for the long term resettlement as well as the rehabilitation of the ex- LTTE combatants. The Minister informed the Special Envoy that Japan ese assistance towards the de-mining process would facilitate and expedite the resettlement of the displaced civilians in their original places of habitation.
The visiting Japan ese Representative thanked the Foreign Minister for the detailed briefing and appreciated the extensive ongoing efforts undertaken by the Government of Sri Lanka in managing the current humanitarian situation. Ambassador Akashi emphasized Japan 's concern on the current situation, particularly the conditions and the welfare of the IDPs. He further encouraged the Government of Sri Lanka to continue its cooperation with the UN agencies and ICRC and, look at the possibility of providing more access to the international community, especially the friends of Sri Lanka, in order to bring transparency to the efforts of the Government in dealing with the current situation. He welcomed the re-settlement process of the IDP families in their original places and noted that the Government is targeting 80% of all IDPs to be resettled before the end of the year, provided mine clearing operations are completed.
The Japan ese Special Envoy had a breakfast meeting earlier in the day with President Mahinda Rajapaksa during which present developments, including the reintegration process of the post-conflict scenario were discussed. He also toured the Kadirgamar and Ramanathan IDP welfare villages in Chettikulam on the previous day (01st May 2009) and met with Minister of Resettlement and Disaster Relief Services, Rishad Bathiudeen. During this visit, Mr. Akashi also had the firsthand opportunity to talk to the IDPs and inspected the facilities provided to them.
The Ambassador of Japan in Sri Lanka, H.E. Kunio Takahashi, Director of the South & West Asia Division in the Japanese Foreign Ministry, Yusuke Shindo and other officials accompanied the Special Envoy to the meeting. The Foreign Secretary, Secretary to the Ministry of Justice & Law Reforms, Secretary to the Nation Building and Eastern Infrastructure Development were present with other senior officials of the Foreign Ministry.

Hate Story Box-Office Prediction
Direction: Vivek Agnihotri
Production: BVG Films
Cast: Paoli Dam, Gulshan Devaiya, Nikhil Dwivedi, Mohan Kapoor
Music: Harshit Saxena
Release Date: April 20, 2012
Star Value: There aren't big names in Hate Story although Paoli Dam is very much popular in the eastern region of India due to her bold acts in Bengali films.
Hype: The promos of Hate Story have managed to raise eyebrows due to the bold scenes and dialogues. Such high level of boldness is rarely seen before in Bollywood. However, the hype that one would associate with this film is missing despite the fact that the boldest Bengali actress is making her Hindi film debut.
Music: Songs of Hate Story have failed to become popular. There is not a single song that has managed to catch viewers' attention from the promos and radio broadcast.
Prediction: At the most, Hate Story will get an average opening. It not only needs to impress initially, but, after that, will also require positive word-of-mouth if it has to succeed at the box-office.

What New Year's Day bowl game are you most looking forward to watching?
My wife - A UM alum - has purchased us tickets to the Outback. It's pretty close to us. I agreed to go, so long as I could 1. wear what I wanted & 2. we agree in advance that I will not be "rooting" for her team. That said, I admit I do want them to win - I mean - The B1G really, really, needs some damn Bowl wins....
The world is full of kings & queens who'll blind your eyes & steal your dreams - it's heaven & hell - Ronnie James Dio.
Post a blog about how you met, how you reacted inside when you first found out she was a UM alum, and how you dealt with the conflict of interests during courtship. (I imagine a scenario where you met, went out on a date, sat there thinking to yourself "holy shit, this woman's amazing", and then screamed inside when she told you where she went to school.)
I'm serious about this... I bet it's an interesting story!
(not trying to be nosey though)
I agree. This would be an interesting story. Maybe Poison Nuts could write a book and make a few Benjamins off of it.
What would the name of the book be? maybe...
"The Courtship of Poison Nuts: A love/hate relationship"
Two blondes were driving to Disneyland. The sign said: Disneyland Left... So they started crying and headed home.
I imagine it to be something like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CD29UmTyzmk
except in the end, Poison Nuts and his wife get together again :)
"There is a force that makes us all brothers, no one goes his way alone." --Woody Hayes
@Baroclincity & BuckeyeDude - You know what's funny, I had a big blog post about this very thing all set up to put out right before The Game but I had very little time to finish it & didn't, but it is an interesting story that I'll write about on here someday...
The world is full of kings & queens who'll blind your eyes & steal your dreams - it's heaven & hell - Ronnie James Dio.
I'll watch the Michig@n/South Carolina game, but can't say I'm looking forward to seeing Spurrier or Hoke. I do have interest in seeing if Northern Illinois can deflate all things Seminole. I'll be rooting for the upset/MAC Champ, however if FSU dominates the game, I'll lose interest real fast.
I'll be making the trip accross the state to the Orange Bowl, cheering for the upset.
I honestly cant remember a more disappointing slate of bowl games

Paula's grandmother, Emma Harte, took a failing department store and turned it into the powerful Harte Industries retail empire, and now that Paula has inherited the family business, she is determined to expand their international success by launching a new store in Hong Kong. However, Paula's cousins Jonathan (Christopher Cazenove) and Sarah (Claire Oberman) are determined to wrest control of the company away from Paula, and begin running interference in her plans for global expansion. Paula soon learns that Harte Industries is on financially shaky ground, and her personal life begins to crumble under the strain of keeping Hart Enterprises afloat. As Jonathan uses the firm's financial woes to his advantage, Paula finds that Jack Figg (Anthony Hopkins), the company's head of security, may be her last line of defense against her devious relatives. Originally broadcast in August 1992, To Be the Best was a follow-up to 1983's A Woman of Substance, another miniseries based on a Barbara Taylor Bradford novel, which covered Paula's life before she took over the family business; Diane Baker played Paula in the earlier series. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Based on the novel by best-selling British author Jilly Cooper, this drama looks at the highly competitive world of equestrian show-jumping. Jake Lovell (Michael Praed), a gypsy half-breed born into poverty, has through hard work and his remarkable skill with horses risen to the top among competitive riders. Jake now finds himself challenging his arch rival Rupert Campbell-Black (Marcus Gilbert), a gifted rider but a contemptible cur off the course; Jake, who is just as sure a hand with women as he is with horses, extends his rivalry off the riding field when he makes a play for Rupert's wife Helen (Arabella Tjye), to whom Rupert is chronically unfaithful. Riders was originally produced and aired as a mini-series for British television. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Doctor Who: Delta and the Bannermen, Episode 2
In the second episode of the three-part story "Delta and the Bannermen," the Doctor (Sylvester McCoy) and Mel (Bonnie Langford) are still stranded in Shangri-La -- not the fabled Tibetan lamasery, but instead a run-down holiday camp in Wales. While Mel learns a few surprising facts about her new friend, Chimeron princess Delta (Belinda Mayne), the Doctor attempts to rescue both ladies from being assassinated by a stalker in blue-suede shoes. Written by Malcolm Kohll, "Delta and the Bannermen, Episode 2" originally aired on November 9, 1987. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Doctor Who: Delta and the Bannermen, Episode 1
Winning a trip to the Disneyland of 1959, the Doctor (Sylvester McCoy) and Melanie (Bonnie Langford) collide en route with a satellite. The would-be vacationers end up in a Welsh holiday camp called the Shangri-La -- which is presently under siege by the Bannermen, a pair of genocidal assassins who have targeted another vacationer, Chimeron princess Delta (Belinda Mayne). American funnyman Stubby Kaye guest stars as Mr. Weismuller, while British TV game show host Ken Dodd appears briefly as the Tollmaster. Written by Malcolm Kohll, the three-episode "Delta and the Bannermen" began its original BBC run on November 2, 1987. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Rita Rizzoli (Whoopi Goldberg) is a crusading narcotics cop assigned to track down the source of some killer crack cocaine in this pretentious and preachy anti-drug crime drama. Rita poses as a prostitute and is soon hot after two small-time hoods (Brad Dourif and Mike Jolly) who murder their way up the drug-dealing ladder in hopes of becoming kingpins. Cheech Marin and Catherine Blore provide interesting cameos in this feature that co-stars Ruben Blades and Sam Elliott. Contains stereotypical characters and gratuitous violence. ~ Dan Pavlides, Rovi

In the conclusion of the three-part story "Delta and the Bannermen," the Bannerman Warfleet steps up its efforts to assassinate Princess Delta of Chimeron (Belinda Mayne), as well as the infant heir apparent to the throne. In trying to prevent this, the Doctor (Sylvester McCoy) and Mel (Bonnie Langford) learn to their surprise that the Chimeron infant doesn't really need any help. Watch for the Doctor's eyeglasses in the climactic chase scene (though quite nearsighted, actor McCoy was determined to drive a motorcycle without the assistance of a stunt man).

In this run-of-the-mill horror film, it is the Christmas season, and derelicts who need money for food and/or booze get jobs playing Saint Nick in the city's department stores. An insane killer has taken a strong dislike to these Santas and either violently does them in or disfigures them in very ugly ways. A Scotland Yard detective (Edmund Purdom, also the director) has been assigned to capture the serial killer, but when he is unable to get results fast enough, he is replaced by Sgt. Powell (Mark Jones). The list of suspects includes the Scotland Yard detective, a reporter who happens to be on the scene just after one of the crimes is committed, and another fellow who was also around for several of the attacks and is indirectly related to one of the victims. The puzzle will hopefully be solved while some Santas (Father Christmas in England) are still around. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

This feature-length story about the heist of $10 million in Nazi diamonds primarily rides on star Tom Selleck's popularity as TV's Magnum, P.I., (a 1980s show), since the plot turnarounds, slighted character development, and stock situations are not that engaging on their own. The setting is 1934 and Nick Lassiter (Selleck) has been strong-armed by the Yank and Brit governments into stealing the diamonds from a German agent (Lauren Hutton) -- if he can track the gems to their hiding place. Along the way, he travels through London of the 1930s -- marketplaces, warehouses, and watering holes that lend an atmosphere to his search. His lady love Sara (Jane Seymour) more or less stands around to lend support while the suavely suited-up Lassiter battles a crooked cop (Bob Hoskins), his real arch enemy. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

Meant to be a whimsical sword-and-sorcery film about a prince out to save his princess from the jaws of the Beast, Krull has enough scenes borrowed from blockbuster predecessors (Raiders of the Lost Ark, E.T., Robin Hood, Star Wars) and is gentle enough to be rather derivative, ordinary fare. Prince Colwyn (Ken Marshall) has inherited a kingdom under siege by the evil Beast, and not only has to rid the land of the monster, but he has to rescue his bride Lyssa (Lysette Anthony) from the Beast's clutches as well. In his magical land, horses can sometimes fly, medieval castles can harbor weapons that light up, and before he can defeat the Beast, the prince has to get his hands on the
(French for "double-edged sword"), a razor-sharp, magical weapon capable of killing the monster. One of the more notable aspects of Krull is that a 30-year old Liam Neeson plays the bit part of Kegan, in only his third full-length feature film. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

Vivre pour Survivre
Although the title is the same, this film is not related to the 1953 White Fire by John Gilling, except for their mutual interest in diamonds. Beau (Robert Ginty) and Ingrid (Belinda Mayne) are siblings who were raised by Sam (Jess Hahn) after they were orphaned while very young. Now all three are involved in smuggling diamonds, a successful enterprise thanks to a security officer at the mines who is willing to look the other way for a price. Even though all three are ostensibly after a famous 2,000 carat diamond known as White Fire, the plot suddenly flip flops, and Ingrid is killed. Her brother meets a woman who agrees to undergo plastic surgery and replace Ingrid -- and lo and behold, she is converted into Ingrid's twin, and their covert diamond business can continue. In the third or fourth plot detour, Beau then falls in love with his sister's look-alike, and shades of incest are not so subtly cast over their liaison. Eventually, the different threads weave their way to an inevitable ending. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

Death of a Centerfold: The Dorothy Stratten Story
Death of a Centerfold: The Dorothy Stratten Story is a surfacy TV-movie rehash of the same real-life events which inspired the 1980 theatrical feature Star 80. Jamie Lee Curtis stars as Dorothy Stratten, here depicted as an ingenuous, highly vulnerable Canadian girl who aspires to show business stardom. Decked out with a generous toupee, Bruce Weitz co-stars as Paul Snyder, the "fringie" who married Dorothy and managed her career. The girl is discovered by Playboy publisher Hugh Hefner, who features Dorothy in a nude foldout spread. As Dorothy's fame grows, Snyder becomes more obsessive and difficult to control. Dorothy tries to make a clean break from Snyder, which culminates in tragedy. Death of a Centerfold initially aired on November 1, 1981. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

A Man Called Intrepid
Based on the best-selling book by William Stevenson, this three-part NBC miniseries begins in 1939, just before the outbreak of WWII. With his warnings of Hitler's treachery going ignored, out-of-power politician Winston Churchill (Nigel Stock) approaches patriotic Canadian industrialist Sir William Stephenson (David Niven) with an unusual request. Sir William is asked to use his own funds to secretly organize an Allied espionage network, to be set in motion the moment Hitler shows his hand. Joining in this covert operation is American president Franklin D. Roosevelt, who, risking possible impeachment, encourages Sir William to establish a training base for spies in Ontario. Other concerned parties include the courageous French expatriate Madelaine (Barbara Hershey) and Sir William's right-hand man Evan Michaelain (Michael York). Location-filmed in England, Norway, and Canada, A Man Called Intrepid was originally broadcast from May 20 to 22, 1979. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Fedora Backpedals on Password Free Installation
A new feature in Fedora 12 was that users could install RPM packages from signed repositories without a root password. "Not good," said many users, so the project decided to reverse the policy.
On November 19, project lead Paul W. Frields announced the update to Fedora 12 that would reverse the unprivileged package installation policy. In his words, "The update will require local console users to enter the root password to install new software packages," no matter what the origins of the packages are .
One reason for the original change in Fedora 12 was to forego the complicated password dialogs in previous Fedora releases, with the root password required at the end anyway, but rather to rely on a role-based mechanism. Many developers and users were pleased by the new policy. Unfortunately the way that the policy was implemented for the release, it didn't work well on multi-user systems in that the privileges applied to all local users.
Details on the reversal in the PackageKit policy and the reasons behind it are in a posting by Owen Taylor. In it, it becomes clear that the password policy originally implemented for Fedora 12 was not the intended solution, but a quick compromise to get Fedora 12 out on time as promised. A Fedora 12 update should be available "quite soon."
there's a way...
Well, I added myself to the "wheel" and "adm" groups and, now, I need my own password and not root's to install and mount things... cool, huh?

Sparking Growth for the Future
Dscoop8 provides much opportunity for business owners and staff members to get the year off to a good start
Nashville, TN—or Music City—was the host for this year's annual Dscoop convention—Dscoop8—and it was probably one of the most successful as well. More than 2,000 attendees from all around the world were able to take part in the learning, educational, and networking sessions.
In addition to the specialized sessions for Indigo and Scitex/Designjet users, there was a new "marketing and creative" educational series also offered. This track was designed to further educate creatives and graphic designers that work with Dscoop's member companies—both internally and externally. The sessions are showed how creative sales tools and digital printing can help in delivering higher ROI and impact.
Dscoop8 Spark Highlights
During the opening session on Thursday evening, Eric Hawkinson, Dscoop's executive director unveiled two new specialized offers to Dscoop members: Dscoop University and the Dscoop Print Directory.
According to Hawkinson, Dscoop University—powered by HP—is a community-driven training program for PSPs. One of Dsccop's main missions has been to educate its members and this program has a single objective: build printers' knowledge to drive business growth. The curriculum will span multiple market segments and functional tracks that include marketing, sales, operations and technology-specific topics.
The course curriculum will largely be derived from the real-world knowledge and experiences of Dscoop members, supplemented by HP resources and best-in-class industry information providers.
"A unique attribute of the Dscoop community is its 'members helping members' platform of knowledge sharing," said Hawkinson. "That same element of member-driven content will significantly factor in Dscoop University's value for its attendees. It will also be a real differentiator against other business development and training programs offered elsewhere in the print industry."
Currently Dscoop is looking to hire a Dean of the University to help to keep the curriculum continuously updated in order to maintain its relevance and value amid shifts in market behavior and technology advancements.
Dscoop University will offer dual-platform learning through both online and in-person venues. Through a secure web portal, attendees will have 24/7 access to course content. Additionally, interactive instructor-led classroom sessions, based on member needs, will be offered on a range of topic tracks in various locations.
Additionally, the Dscoop Print Directory will be launched as a web-based tool for brand owners and designers. This tool is designed to provide users with a quick way to research and connect with digital PSPs. The Directory will provide more than just contact information; it will also offer qualitative information about each participating PSP's capabilities. Any brand owner or designer can now efficiently source services according to their specific requirements.
The Dscoop Print Directory will be publicly viewable by any site visitor. Visitors will be able to search or browse according to print service provider name, location, print technology or capability, and other selection criteria.
Hawkinson said he views this Directory becoming the "Trip Advisor" for the graphic communications industry.
The Dscoop Print Directory will launch in the spring and will be translated into nine different languages. Dscoop members are now able to access the directory and populate their information prior to launch.
Highlights from Dscoop Solutions Showcase Partners
Dscoop hosted more than 90 Partners in its Solutions Showcase at Dscoop8, featuring a variety of pioneering new products that are designed to "Spark" creative ideas in attendees' minds.
A few highlights on the show floor included:
