That's why I sold my AppleTV and bought a mini. Esp. with the Early 2009 minis that have better on-board graphics than earlier minis and both mini-DVI and mini-DP outputs. For now I have one of these on order from monoprice.com.
If Apple would put HDMI *and* mini-DP outputs on the mini, and beef up Front Row with some of the AppleTV mojo I'd bet mini sales would triple overnight.
I know people like to say that, and power-wise it's more than adequate, but the OS and GUI are not designed for being connected to a Home Theater. If you can't control the entire experience from turning it on fresh out of the box, to setting it up, to using every aspect of it with a remote then it's not a good fit for the average person who just wants a simple, easy-to-use appliance in their living room.
Technically savvy people will certainly be able to switch between a keyboard/mouse and remote easily and won't mind (actually enjoy) scouring the internet for ways to automate and code the device to make it more "AppleTV-like", but that is not the average person, especially Apple's consumers who are looking for a "just works" solution.
Exactly what I was referring to above. The mini either needs a native OS X Apple TV application or Front Row needs to get a lot more of the "it just works" functionality that the Apple TV already has. Add in an HDMI jack that will natively output 5.1 sound and the sky is the limit...
Plus, imagine what this could do for the iTunes movie franchise.
Steve, are you listening?

The midwest.
That's where it's really getting hit the was Cincinnati for example up thirty cents in just the past week.
That's a spike and this is a gas receipt from around next guest Cincinnati talk show host Brian Thomas -- -- welcome the program.
What is it you -- you think -- four dollars and eighteen cents a gallon was -- a regular.
Now it was for premium but I'll tell you the regular prices -- gone through the roof -- well I did little checking and I couldn't find it anywhere near me for less than 389 a gallon.
And when I checked on line the prices are all over town that high as well as higher up to 399 for regular gas so.
For eighteen does sound outrageous it was for premium but -- frankly it was outrageous object that you don't you don't talk show.
You've got cola just coming actual time is this registering on -- -- right job that there is a -- -- what do they think about it.
Wolf courses registering it's it's everyone's bottom line I and I think the amount of money that's going in gas tanks and I hear from listeners the amount of money that's being spent.
Just to get from point a to point B it doesn't leave a whole lot of disposable income for the particularly for the middle class folks that Barack Obama seems to care so much about yet -- -- I blame.
-- and that we -- you could -- to speculate as you can blame the oil companies you can blame Barack Obama you can blame the governor of Ohio who's getting the blame.
Well in this particular instance I think it's gonna have to be the administration -- you cool mandated us putting.
Booed in our gas tanks in the middle of a drought -- -- did we not anticipate the possibility of a drought.
It's the same way with refineries you -- refinery that goes offline he takes out 10%.
Of the entire supply to the West Coast doesn't someone plan ahead for these contingencies apparently not.
You know so I think the administration's anger and and and expressed higher and desire for us all drive tiny little cars get you know 506070 miles a gallon -- -- Is really is where the focus is right now they know what Obama's energy policy is and it's not friendly to the middle class.
-- I just wanna bring our viewers up to speed on a news item that we relate to twenty minutes ago and you just referred to this a little bit -- front.
And that is that to you Reuters reports that the spot price of gasoline in the Los Angeles market to -- on the Los Angeles market.
Went up 24 and a half cents.
Because of news about big -- at the refinery in northern California.
Brian you were referring to that when you set a -- -- takes out eight at least 8% 10% of the refining capacity of California.
So California is looking at a big increasing gas prices in the very near future.
And that adds to what's happening in the midwest.
Exactly and -- what looked.
Look at 10% 8% it's not even reflected in the speculation price -- the -- 330 gallon it doesn't take much math to figure out what an additional 10% as.
The laws of supply and demand are going to kick in.
There's going to be less supply greater or equal demand that is gonna cause the price to go up this is -- simple market economics.
You know Brian I've always been jealous of you.
You -- I think you've got -- best voice in the media.
And I'm still jail -- I'm very that's very kind of you say because you know -- I got a real us video I'm quite jealous of you as well you have a wonderful British accent that everyone just loves I'm sure it it it does very well served you very -- -- I live in new Genesee and not -- 340 -- -- And unit in Cincinnati and you played for eighteen for the premium because you drive a fancy foreign cough okay I don't hold -- against you brought you still got a great voice.
I brought Thomas they've other excellent self thanks so much for joining -- -- cannot thank.

This route climbs a seam in a slab about 100 feet right of the falls. On the left side of this slab is a bolted line (The River's Edge, 5.10b R **). Look for a seam. (1) Climb up this seam through a small roof, and past a few more pins/bolts at horizontal cracks. Use every available pro. Stop at the second tree and belay. From the lower tree, you can definitely top-rope if you set up some directionals. (2) On pitch two, climb up through the roof (5.9) or around it to the right (5.8), up through some bushy cracks to a 2-bolt anchor. The bolted line above is Evening Falls, 5.10a *. Descent: Rappel the route.
Mostly small stuff on a standard rack
Did Evening falls years ago, and the crux was protected by an old leeper with a cracked hanger. Fun moves though. The crack above is great , a retro fitting of this route woould restore a great line to safe climbing. go do it.
Man, I love this climb! It's been years since I've done it, but I think that it is an LCC sleeper classic!
I also felt the roof crack was harder than 5.9-.
I climbed this for the first time last week and thought it was a very fun route. However, I was a bit surprised by the width of the crack over the top of the bulge on the 2nd pitch. I was expecting a hand crack the whole way, but it's much wider (#8 Metolius size). I agree with the consensus that it's harder than 5.9-.
great route-the first pitch has some good slabby moves on it and is a bit run out between the manky pin and last bolt before the anchors. the second pitch crux was definitely harder than 5.9- for me; you have to make the move with most of your weight on your hands, and for me it was cupped hands. still, it's a really short move and the rest of the climb is like 5.6. super fun-needs more traffic. toproped the 10a bolted slab next to the first pitch- really fun- a must do if you have done the first pitch.
Good route, tr'd the first pitch last night. Easy to walk up to the tree at the top of the first pitch, which also gives you easy access to the Rivers Edge anchors. When did the pin get replaced? I was kinda bummed to see the new bolt, sorta changes the character of he route. The pin was pretty bomber last year, at least more so than the first pin you encounter. There is another old pin maybe 5 ft above the bolt. If this pin gets pulled, please do not replace it with another bolt. If it does get pulled, try to pull it so natural protection can be used; unlike the other pin which didn't leave a pin scar when it was pulled/hammered/chipped out of place.
This is a great line that takes gear great. The runout section is not bad at all. Don't let the runout stop you from climbing this awsome route. This should see alot more traffic.
Keep his route 5.8 and skip the one-move-wonder-gruntfest on the second pitch. The 5.8 moves around the right of the roof are way better.
Both ways over the roof are pretty good, one is easier, and the other a bit more of a grunt, but both good.
First pitch is amazing. Linkup with Evening Falls for a classic romp.
Based on the description here of 160' and Ruckman's topo showing an 80' first pitch, I took a single 70m for this. The second pitch (from the chains, not the tree ledge) is really about 120', so we did a short pull from the tree. Moving the first belay to the block right of the tree just makes too much sense to me. Seems the tree used to have slings?
Yeah, RP, tree used to have slings (the tree below the roof used to be the end and anchor on the first pitch). Was there a two bolt anchor on the upper face of the first pitch? That thing has to go. Maybe someone already took care of it? You can rap down to River's Edge, too, and hit the ground from that anchor with a single 70 (maybe 60).
Yessir, two-bolt anchor on the face shortly after leaving the corner. One bolt and a pin above this belay before reaching the ledge. Seems out of place. Saw River's Edge anchors too late. Edit: Just did this last week so that belay is surely still there.
Chop chop.
The added anchor is still there. Right in the fucking middle of the spiciest part of that first pitch. There are also two new sets of anchors on River's Edge, one that obviously allows you TR/rap with a 60 and another 20 feet above that, right before the 5.9 second pitch of Daddy Long Legs. Same hardware as a certain fuckwad we all love, albeit sans autograph. If someone with some know-how will head up with me this weekend, I'm happy to help chop.
And was still there yesterday... That anchor needs to go! It is unnecessary and sticks out like a sore thumb! I'm game unless the FA'ers step up and claim something (not sure that is possible on this one), aside from that, I will be more than happy to help remove them as well. PM me if/when you are thinking of going and doing it.

Our Weekend
These last few weeks have been really tough for blogging. As alluded to before, I was sick for almost 2 weeks (my immune system really let me down!) and didn't really bake at all during that time. Now I am finally better but the temperatures around here have been over 90 and frankly, the last thing I want to do is run the oven in those temperatures! Plus, this weekend Shane and I spent 2 days in Boston watching the Visa Championships for women's gymnastics! It was amazing - we had such a good time! Well, I guess I had a better time than Shane as it's really my thing, but I think he enjoyed it too. We saw some great gymnastics and got to spend some good quality time together. We took Thursday and Friday off to attend, and it reinforced my opinion that every weekend should be at least 3 days long!
I hope the temperatures come down soon so I can get back to cooking/baking...I've got a huge backlog of recipes I want to try!

Bequeathed to the British nation in 1897 by Lady Wallace, the Wallace Collection opened to the public as a museum on 22 June 1900.
Apart from breaks during the two world wars it has been open ever since.
Although by the terms of Lady Wallace's bequest the Wallace Collection is a closed collection (i.e. nothing may be added to it or taken away), many changes have taken place in the way it is presented.
The most spectacular of these was the Centenary Project of 1997-2000 which created many new spaces and facilities.


text: Inspiration can come from so many places. Sometimes a word or a picture will stir a memory. As I trace the thread of a memory it often weaves a tapestry in my mind of vivid images, ready to be transformed into art. A few words triggered such a moment recently when I remembered a favorite childhood book that I'd shared with my children, "Frederick" by Leo Lionni. I went searching through the bookshelf of children's books in our home that we'd kept even after the children had outgrown them. I found "Frederick", and began flipping through it. Next I picked up "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" by Eric Carle and paged through the beautiful illustrations. Sometime later I emerged from my journey through "The Giving Tree" by Shel Silverstein, "Where the Wild Things Are" by Maurice Sendak, and "The Tale of Peter Rabbit" by Beatrix Potter. I was flooded with ideas and inspiration for projects. The experience brought a smile to my face as I realized that the simple little story of Frederick had been an inspiration my life through. Much like Frederick, I've always labored to collect colors and imagery, things that aren't always tangible but have a value all the same. What things from your memory inspire you? Have any of them shaped how you value art? Tell us your story in the comments below (now through May 31, 2012), and we'll choose our favorite to win a Pattern Making Kit (a $64 value) which you can use to turn your memories into real patterns!

3 Tbs of Ghee for rolling the kaja's

Australian Bureau of Statistics
International Year of Statistics |
INTERNATIONAL YEAR OF STATISTICS A message from Brian Pink, Australian Statistician
The rapidly changing real-world of information presents both significant opportunities and challenges for governments, businesses, academia and the community. Advances in the digital economy and society have seen the rapid growth in data assets, the exponential increase in the demand for information, and the emergence of new analytical methods and technologies which are transforming all aspects of our lives. A key challenge for National Statistical Organisations and official statisticians all over the world is exploring the opportunities these data assets represent, and identifying how we can convert this deluge into knowledge. This data has the potential to help us make better decisions, be more innovative, productive and competitive, leading to better outcomes for Australians. It provides opportunities for the community and decision makers to unlock the potential of existing data sources and to create new valuable information assets for informed decision making. This data also presents many challenges. We need to ensure that we protect confidentiality, have sound data management practices, prioritise and optimise our essential statistical assets and develop our statistical capability and capacity to build a rich statistical picture of Australia. By doing this, we can work together to inform public debate, discussion and decision making by all levels of Australian society now and in the future. The Australian Bureau of Statistics has been providing Australians with the high quality statistics necessary for informed decision making for over 100 years. We are a proud supporter of the International Year of Statistics which enables us to continue celebrating the important role statistics play in building a better nation for all Australians. In this, the International Year of Statistics, I would like to ask you all to be statistics champions, to stay connected to the statistical community and continue to celebrate the power and impact of statistics in our lives. Brian Pink Australian Statistician FURTHER INFORMATION To find out how the ABS is participating in International Year of Statistics, please visit the ABS participation page for more information.

August 24, 1998 Displaced Children in Southern Sudan at High Risk; New Feeding Centers PlannedIn its ongoing effort to fight the famine in south Sudan, MSF carried out a new nutritional and mortality survey indicating that displaced children in the famine-stricken area of Panthou in Bahr el Ghazal, southern Sudan, are at extreme risk of death. According to the assessment, displaced children in Panthou are almost 17 times more likely to die of starvation or starvation-related illnesses than resident children from the area, despite the fact that the levels of malnutrition within the two groups are similar. "This survey shows just how much more vulnerable displaced people are. They have limited access to shelter, and no or few family members around, and they are often exhausted after walking for days before reaching our centers," says Stephanie Maxwell, medical coordinator of MSF's relief programs in Panthou. In order to prevent further displacement to Panthou, MSF is now planning to open feeding centers both in Ajac and Tieraliet—the two locations from which most of the displaced in Panthou have come. New MSF Program in BangladeshAn MSF exploratory mission last week visited the Chittagong Hill Tracts in Bangladesh, an area which until recently was closed to all aid organizations. As the result of a peace agreement, some 60,000 tribal people have returned there since last December after spending 30 years in exile in India. The displaced populations have yet to receive land allocations and monthly food rations promised in the peace accord. MSF has visited all the area healthcare institutions and evaluated current healthcare needs. The clinics appear to be suffering from a shortage of medical personnel and drugs. Malaria in its most serious form poses the greatest health risk to the tribal population. MSF is launching a program at a regional health clinic that is visited by both tribal and Bengali patients. |

"When people stop coming to you with their problems, this indicates a failure in leadership." – Gen. Colin Powell
If players are truly the driving force behind the success of any franchise, and clearly they are the end result on Sundays, then ownerships should continue to explore new ways of maximizing their talents to the fullest extent. Many might argue that it's the very "team concept" of football (more than any other organized sport) that requires rigid emphasis in the face of the core values of the "Me" player.
Certainly this has been a popular focal point over the past few seasons with regards to League imposed discipline, as well as with the Club selections of leadership and management. But a new generation of athlete may be forcing us to quickly relook at our own values with regards to "team building" and open up a whole new way of managing professional sports franchises.
A partnership approach may be the wave of the future. Clubs that show flexibility and understanding towards the leadership and development of their "Me" players will undoubtedly find the road to a championship a little easier to navigate. "Me" players willing to integrate as individuals into all facets of a club's internal culture will in turn maximize their opportunities both on and off the field.
I disagree with the notion that to build a successful team all its members should be treated in a "cookie cutter" fashion. Individual dynamics are what make a team strong. It's the inability of leadership to manage, motivate and direct the individual that is toxic to a team environment. The very nature of the "Me" generation probably scares most who are unprepared to deal with this differing viewpoint of life and the workplace.
NFL owners can meet this challenge by understanding their core values/needs and providing the leadership and environment that will cultivate their best efforts as members of their club.
In an earlier post I mentioned five issues that are related to the "Me's" and it would behoove ownerships to address these if they wish to bridge the GEN Y gap; development, feedback, parental influence, compensation and retention.
FEEDBACK – The "Me's" are in constant need of it and require a positive approach. Eliminate any ambiguities by clearly defining your requirements with regard to everything. "Dog cussing" a player into toughness won't get it done. I've seen this technique in action and it flat doesn't work. The coach may think he's getting the point across but he's only getting "dog cussed" back and this is no way to build consistent loyalty with your roster.
As a former Air Force Officer, coach and General Manager I'm not saying to coddle players by any means. I will say that if I had been on the field in turn "dog cussing" our coaches for their own inefficiencies they wouldn't have liked that much either. This is a group that wants "in" on the whole picture. They require a lot of teaching and coaching, not regurgitation of information. Clubs will need to "listen" and be open to the concerns of their players.
I've probably spoken with close to 150 or 160 current and former NFL players over the past two to three years. In canvassing their concerns with issues between players and clubs, by far the number one answer was "lack of communication". Little to no feedback is ever given by the club's coaches or personnel staff regarding most issues facing players today.
How do you envision the communication between your team and its players? Is it even important to you?

Obama transition
The latest news on Obama transition
WASHINGTON (AP) — Big changes are coming to President Barack Obama's administration — just not right away.
A spectacle of precision, marred only by one memorably flubbed line, for President Barack Obama.
Unprecedented crowds throng the National Mall to celebrate the first African-American president.
A whopping 83 percent of Americans approve of how Obama has handled the transition.
Two thirds of Americans can name one Obama appointee; 43 percent could name a Bush pick in 2001.
With the theme "a new birth of freedom," Obama has modeled his inauguration after Abraham Lincoln's.
Obama's attorney general nominee tells Dems that waterboarding is torture, defends Rich pardon to GOP.
Evangelicals and liberals have drafted new policies on culture war issues for the president-elect.
Americans support the president-elect, while the GOP has credibility problems on economic issues.
Republicans warn her against overreaching, but Democrats want Jackson to reverse Bush legacy at EPA.

Senator Dick Lugar will be remembered as standing on the "right side" in American history
Tuesday, May 8th, 2012The Tea Party extremists are revealing their game plan little by little. They had their targets set on a fine statesman such as Senator Dick Lugar of Indiana. Apparently Lugar was not extremist enough for them in much the same way the Tea Party supporters viewed Senator John McCain of Arizona when they backed JD Hayworth who was within 5 points of McCain at one time during the 2010 elections.
What was the difference?
The Latino population in Indiana is not as high as it is here in Arizona. Mexican-American voters were the key swing vote for McCain that ultimately got him re-elected in the Senate preventing the Tea Party nativist JD Hayworth from winning that seat. The same was true in the State of Nevada when Hispanics saved Senator Harry Reid's position when Sharron Angle depicted Latinos as criminals.
Does this mean Latinos should never have tried to rock the Latino vote in the State of Indiana in support of Senator Lugar?
Latinos did the right thing in utilizing resources, talents and energy to support Senator in every way that we could. We owed it to Lugar to give it our all because he voted for our youth via the DREAM Act. The Democratic Senate Candidate via Joe Donnelly did not vote for the DREAM in 2010 as a Congressman, and now he is collateral damage to the Democratic Party for the upcoming 2012 Presidential elections as Latino leaders and immigration leaders become hawkish — particularly in key swing Presidential states.
Just as we viewed the dixiecrats during the Civil Rights era in American history, and Civil Rights Act supporters in the 1960′s … we will view Senator Lugar as one of the few and last Republican leaders who supported immigrant youth and children in our current struggle and era. Both Richard Mourdock and Congressman Joe Donnelly are the modern-day dixiecrats and both will be remembered as such as politicians continue to cast votes that are recorded and remembered by the fastest growing demographic in our Nation.
Senator Lugar will be remembered to Latinos as an amigo, because he was one of the few who had courage to do the right thing while the others cowardly demonized immigrants in December of 2010.
We want to thank Lugar from the bottom of our hearts. And if he ever wants to run for the President of the United States of America, he will be remembered as an amigo that did not betray us or use us for political expediency when all others jumped on the bandwagon to demonize Latinos and immigrants.
The results from tonight's Indiana race confirms one thing to us: We must continue to focus on states with high Hispanic population where our political leverage is the best.
The Tea Party will ultimately be the demise of the GOP as the Republican Party has allowed Kris Kobach, the Heritage Foundation, American Works, Americans for Tax Reform to be the face of their Party. The Party of "Hell No" can only get them so far and it is simply unreasonable to believe politicians cannot work from across the aisle.
Thank you, Senator Lugar. You are the epitome of a boyscout.
Matthew Tully of Indystar.com said it best when he wrote:
For Sen. Richard Lugar, this isn't the way it should have ended.
A revered and reasonable statesman shouldn't lose in a low-turnout election marked by voter anger and non-voter apathy. His career shouldn't end with an ineffective campaign that turned desperate and even sad in its final days. Most important, a lawmaker who spent decades diligently addressing big issues and tackling looming crises shouldn't be treated as a pariah simply because he viewed the other side as fellow Americans, and not enemy combatants.

The rainfall started when it was expected to, but ended earlier as a fast-moving squall line developed near Corpus Christi and tracked right up the coastline eventually reaching Galveston by about 2:35am. Police in Galveston reported power poles down across the Island starting in Jamaica beach to Downtown. The Galveston airport reported a max wind gust of 38 KTS or 44 MPH. That's under severe criteria by 14 mph. Nevertheless it seems there were a few microbursts along the path given the reports of downed power poles. A total of just under an inch of rain was recorded at the airport in Galveston.
South Houston also had it's fair share of nasty weather with wind gusts to near 40 MPH and rainfall of about 0.75 inches.
Picture below shows rainfall estimates for this weather event. Most of the heaviest rainfall remained offshore.
Click the link below to see a quick video of the squall line as it moved through.
5.11.12 HGX Radar.swf <--Radar loop of last nights squall line/bow echo.
Going forward today, we're not completely out of the woods as far as heavy rainfall threat, but the good news is that the squall line really zapped much of the instability out of the atmosphere and it will take some time and quite a bit of sunshine to reignite storms by this afternoon. It looks like the storms will begin very scattered in nature. Severe threat is minimized, but there will be a slight chance for damaging winds and hail with a few storms that form. The coastal areas will be under fire again and areas north of Houston can expect only a few passing thunderstorms or rain showers.
As for rainfall, the ground is soaking up last night's rainfall and as long as the rainfall rates remain below 2-2.5 inches per hour, the risk for flooding is much less than it was yesterday.
The sun will be shining for most of the day and it will be very comfortable until this afternoon when the humidity returns with daytime heating.
You can see the tale-tell comma shape to the low pressure. You can also see some new development towards north central Texas. We shall see what this will mean for us by this evening.
Mother's Day is shaping up to be a top 10 day as the weather is pushing through quicker than previously thought.
Have a great weekend!!

Word of Mouth Means More Than A Recommendation For Inn Above Onion Creek
Word of mouth advertising is a double entendre for locavore-oriented Inn Above Onion Creek. Dedicated to pasture-to-plate cuisine, this luxury inn, poised on the edge of Texas Hill Country in Kyle and just 25 miles from Austin, goes to great lengths to keep its cuisine fresh, local and eco-friendly. Taking sustainable cuisine beyond green, the Inn Above Onion Creek, has partnered with some of Texas's most renowned farms to bring guests a farmer's market experience right in their own backyard.
Just like everything in Texas, the culinary experience at the Inn Above Onion Creek is big. With an eye toward personalized cuisine, Chef Marcos Galvan and his team of sous chefs design the meal menus a week or so in advance with the dietary considerations of guests coming to stay in mind. Fresh, local ingredients are used whenever possible, including produce and herbs from the inn's own garden and Millberg Farm, in Kyle. The neighboring Michaelis Ranch, a leader in Texas farming history, provides "Mom's Beef", also served at the inn.
M. G. Michaelis Sr. founded the Michaelis Ranch in the 1890's and in the ensuing years became known as the largest jack and jennet (a female donkey) breeder in Texas, contributing to Kyle's dubious honor of being "jackass capital of the world". In 1934, Michaelis brought the first Charolais bulls to the ranch making him the first breeder of Charolais cattle in the United States. As an aside, his daughter-in-law, Helen Hall Michaelis, later lived on the ranch and was one of the founders of the American Quarter Horse Association. Today, while the mules may have been replaced by cars and more modern forms of transport, the age-old dedication to the finest quality foods is shared by the Michaelis Farm and its neighbor, the Inn Above Onion Creek.
How important is the food at the Inn Above Onion Creek? The inn maintains a blog dedicated entirely to sharing the recipes for favorite comfort foods served at the inn. To the best of my knowledge, the Inn Above Onion Creek is the only inn I know of with a blog dedicated entirely to their food and recipes.
Stay at the Inn Above Onion Creek and you're in for a tasty getaway. All room rates include a full breakfast and three course dinner. When I stayed, I also enjoyed the delicious cookies and lemonade served in the afternoon. Yet, just as the cuisine makes a Texas sized impression, so do the guest rooms and cottages here. Spacious accommodations and some of the nicest baths I've ever experienced are among the treats here. Add an inviting pool and the balconies with rockers to the roster of amenities, and it's no wonder that the Inn Above Onion Creek was selected among the Top Ten Inns Overall in the Best of BedandBreakfast.com Awards.
For culinary travelers, locavores and those who love foods with a Texas sized impression, the Inn Above Onion Creek offers a sanctuary for the senses.
When You Go:
Inn Above Onion Creek,4444 W FM 150, Kyle, TX 78640, 800-579-7686
The Inn Above Onion Creek is located on 88 acres of scenic Texas Hill Country, just 25 miles from Austin. The rooms are large, luxurious and comfortable, and the views are spectacular. You will be amazed that such peace, relaxation, and tranquility can be found so close to the metropolitan areas of Austin and San Antonio.

Here's why we need more conversation about consent.
Editor's note: This is a difficult article to read, and to publish. It is a frank, open confession about a certain commonly-accepted form of rape culture, and readers with rape triggers should probably avoid reading it. We at the Good Men Project do not endorse or support the author's worldview. We only believe it speaks to a common experience that is often taken for granted, often dismissed, and rarely talked about, except in vague and theoretical terms. We want to make very clear that we do not agree with the author's conclusions, but we want people to understand that this type of thinking about party culture and consent exists.
When you party, when you move in party circles, you accept certain tradeoffs.
You accept that you'll always be the bad guy in after-school specials and sitcoms about teenagers. You're the bad kid who offers Buffy Summers a beer and gets her almost eaten by a snake demon. You accept that you won't always be able to piece together everything that happened the next day. You're forced to enjoy Katy Perry's "Last Friday Night" not because you like Katy Perry but because you just plain recognize it.
You accept these tradeoffs because they come with amazing times. They come with glowing memories of an intensity entirely beyond the mundane, they come with crazy sex with amazing people, they come with living a few hours at a time in a world where anything, anything at all, can happen. I've moved from one party scene to another my whole adult life, because nobody wants to be that creepy old person or that inappropriately young person, but there are always plenty of people who won't walk away from that incredible sense of liberation and possibility that you only find at the bottom of the bottle and a hot room full of crazy people.
I swear to God, it is only after the fact that you start figuring out that one of the tradeoffs you've accepted is a certain amount of rape. The way crooked businesses accept paying fines for their infractions as the cost of doing business, you gradually, an inch at a time, realize that some of the stories you've heard, some of the stories you've lived, didn't involve what they call good consent nowadays.
With what I've learned as an adult, I'm pretty sure I'm technically a rapist. Technically nothing. One woman told me herself. Our encounter was years before—I'd been in a drinking contest and she'd been drinking and flirting with me (yes, actually flirting) all evening. As blurry and fucked-up as I was, I read her kiss of congratulation to me as a stronger signal than it was, and with friends hooting and cheering us on, I pressed her up against a wall and… well. Call it rape or call it a particularly harsh third base, I walked away with the impression that it had been consensual, if not really sensible. (She had a boyfriend at the time, but their boundaries were fuzzy.)
Years later, she was in a recovery program—not for alcohol, ironically—and she got in touch with me during the part where she made peace with her past. She wanted to clarify that what had happened between us was without her consent, that it hurt her physically and emotionally, that it was, yes, rape.
We talk about who is and is not a rapist, like it's an inextricable part of their identity. "I'm a Libra, a diabetic, and a rapist." That doesn't work, though. Evidently I walked around for years as a rapist, totally unaware. Nobody stuck that label on me, I certainly never applied it to myself, even now it only feels like it fits when I'm severely depressed. The label, the crime, simply coalesced for me one day, dragging years of backstory behind it.
That is the damnable thing. We all cluck our tongues at those evil bastards who force themselves on girls—or guys—who are insensibly passed out. At the same time, we all acknowledge that a glass or two of wine helps pave the way for a lot of good times. And in the trackless, unmappable gray swamps in between, we cough and change the subject.
In the real world, especially among experienced drinkers, being blackout drunk doesn't necessarily look like being passed out on the floor, helpless prey for any passing predator. It can look like being drunk, but fully in control. It can look like being passionately excited. It can look like being a great dancer. It can look like being very sexually aggressive.
It's not just booze, of course. Ecstasy makes everything incredibly tactile and you want to touch everyone. Weed makes some people insatiably horny. I had to fend off a young woman recently who was talking a mile a minute and sliding her hands inside my shirt, I was still together enough to tell she wasn't all there, on what turned out to be a mixture of acid and cocaine. There is plenty of fun stuff out there, but mostly it's booze. For the majority of people, it's going to be drinking they have to watch out for.
A friend of mine once told me about a girl who he knew for a fact had only had two drinks. He didn't know she was on prescription medication that amplified those two drinks beyond all measure. He thought she was just very horny when she wouldn't leave him alone or take "Are you okay?" for an answer. It wasn't until she kept calling him by the wrong name and couldn't remember the right one that he realized she was not able to consent, and called a halt to things before they went any further. He says he had to dissuade her from pursuing things further, because she was really into it, apart from not knowing who he was or where she was.
"Can you imagine?" he tells me in horrified tones. "I was almost a rapist."
How do I tell him that I was in a similar position and made a different call? How do I tell him that I am what he's terrified he almost was?
Here's the plain, awful fact: people can have more and better sex drunk than they can sober. Some of the best, most fulfilling relationships of my life have started out with joyously drunken sex. I've had amazing times, orgies sometimes, where it's simultaneously true that everyone's consenting and having fun, and that they wouldn't be consenting and having fun if they were stone sober.
Those aren't the times that bother me. The ones that bother me are the ones where I got loaded, had some fun with a lady, and then she never wanted to contact me again. Messages go unanswered, social contact is dropped.
There are men, rape-apologist pieces of shit, who will tell you that women cry "rape" every time they have sex they later regret. I carry no brief for those assholes. What eats at me is that there've been cases, more than one and less than six, in my life where either explanation would seem plausible. If a woman had consensual sex with a guy because they were both drunk, and later she decided he was a loser and she regretted it, she might refuse to have further contact with him because, hey, awkward. But if a woman was raped by a man who thought she was still capable of consent when she was too far gone, she might refuse to have further contact with him because, hey, rapist.
That's not the worst part either.
It's been pointed out to me that I'm using a lot of heteronormative language here, men/me as rapist, women as rape victims, and I honest to God don't mean to do that. It's just the linguistic habits I grew up with.
But there have been times I've cut off all contact with women after drunkenly fooling around with them, the same criterion that, in reverse, makes me suspect myself of rape.
There have been times of "I regret going to bed with her" and times of "I don't recall going to bed with her."
There's been at least one time I was informed, days after the fact, by multiple eyewitnesses, that I'd had sex with a girl. This came as news to me, and explained a couple messages I'd gotten from her, a girl I generally had no interest in getting involved with.
It must be bad manners to admit to being a rapist and to also say one is a rape survivor, all in one article. I don't know any set of social mores where that's okay. I certainly don't feel like a rape survivor, whatever that's supposed to feel like. I just can't quite find a workable standard where I'm one but not the other. I don't say that as any kind of apology or justification for my actions or my mistakes. I'm just trying to state the facts nobody ever quite wants to state.
Some might think it's monstrous of me to keep drinking, keep partying. But I have had so many good, positive, happy experiences because I took a chance and altered my state and connected with someone else sexually, it seems crazy to throw all that away. Do people who've been in car accidents give up driving?
When I sit down and think about it, it seems like I've accepted a certain amount of rape as the cost of doing business, and so have most of the people I know. And that seems like the most sick, fucked-up, broken solution to anything ever. And maybe finding it livable-with condemns us all to hell. I don't know. I can't even talk about it under my own name.

Review: Torus Feeel
Joeri Woudstra (a.k.a. Torus) is a young Dutch producer with clear intent behind his lilting, organic beats. With Feeel—which is being delivered both as an eight-song digital release (that includes two remixes) and a truncated 7" single—he limits the sonic palette to only a few options, mostly relying on homemade percussion and field-recorded ambience to set the mood for his sedate instrumentals. In doing so, Woudstra's restrained EP winds up sounding like the stony offspring of LA beatmaker Samiyam and Bad Vibes-era Shlohmo, though he makes less of an effort to delineate between cuts than those hazy producers. What instead emerges is a series of similarly captured moments, in the form of tracks, that often seem to successfully slow down time by virtue of their placid, unflappable direction. Without question, Woudstra's work is intriguing; however, when the EP is viewed as a whole, the isolated moments or feelings he expresses appear somewhat less significant, mainly because of his self-imposed sonic rules.

Coach: Evaluating a Prospect's Physical Gifts
Posted By Anthony Macri On November 3, 2011 @ 2:45 pm In All,NBA Draft | No Comments
In this multi-part series on evaluating potential NBA talent, Coach Macri will explain a typical process for the breakdown of players and what kinds of things the average fan should consider watching college games with an eye on who their team might select. In this week's article, he provides considers how to judge a player's skills and talents.
In the first article of this series, I gave examples of things to look for when it came to evaluating a prospect's offensive and defensive game understanding. Last week, the topic was how to judge specific skillsets and player aptitudes. This time around, the focus will be on physical gifts – both measurable and observable.
Physical Gifts
One of the most common areas to make a mistake in the evaluation of a potential pro is looking at his physical gifts. This is the proverbial 'eye test' that some folks, fans and "experts" alike, use to judge a prospect. Many disparage the measurable characteristics of a prospect in one breath, then use them on the next to compare one player to another. Given this reality, what is the best way to judge physical gifts in relation to a player's game understanding and skillset?
It should never be denied that physical gifts are a critical piece of being a professional athlete. How much weight it receives in the overall evaluation of a player is very observer-dependent. For me, the physical gifts are often the first thing I notice, or the thing that allows the player to (in some cases literally) leap out from the crowd. However, after the initial identification, my own weighting tends to put those physical gifts more toward the back of the priority list. Instead, I examine things like game understanding and skillset, both of which were discussed in the previous articles of this series.
Many are interested in seeing the measurable statistics that come out at the NBA "combine." However, evaluators must be sure not to overvalue those statistics. The real measure of physical gifts is not the measurable, but rather how it translates into game situations. An easy example: a long wingspan or standing reach is nice, but how a player employs that wingspan to alter shots in the paint is much more important.
The easiest way to understand how to observe physical gifts is to explore how an evaluator might see them in practice. To do so, we'll break down three physical traits, and how folks attempt to measure them, but most current methods tend to fall short.
Start and Stop: An interesting test at the combine is the box drill. In this drill, players must run, slide, and backpedal in a pattern in a box shape (using the lane markers), and it is for speed. The drill purports to test speed, agility, and the ability to start and stop. If basketball was a game of predictable patterns, it would have a lot more value than it actually does. Like most tests, it actually becomes a tool to evaluate how well you perform that specific action, not how your abilities might translate into games. However, what it wants to do is extremely valuable.
Back during Blake Griffin's time at Oklahoma, I wrote about his need to start and stop better for Basketball Prospectus. Like many young athletes, he put himself into trouble on the court when defenders would take away straight line drives, because he could not slow down, change direction, and then burst forward. While he had obvious tools like speed, strength, and agility, it was his inability to start and stop that could have held him back to some degree. He has since worked on this aspect of his game (and in fact, I would say it is the thing he improved the most during his 'off year' as he recovered from injury.
John Wall is an excellent example of a guy who had the obvious ability to start and stop, change direction, and get burst. He has always displayed it. One guy I would look for this ability from this year during the college basketball season is Austin Rivers. How much command does he have of his body and his ability to start and stop? That could make all the difference – we know he can shoot. What about this physical gift?
Repeatable "Wow" Factor: One of the first columns folks look for from the combine is results from the various vertical jump tests. Achieving a new record in standing vertical and maximum vertical seem the holy grail for basketball players everywhere. How to improve vertical jump measurements is a question I get all the time in both my chat and via email. However, just looking at the number on a page is not enough. How does a player use that in game play?
When we see a display of explosive or unusual power on the court, we take notice. It's often enough to make coaches and general managers scribble on their notepads about "raw athleticism." However, it is only consistent and repeatable feats that should really draw our attention. As opposed to how high a player can get in vertical, I like to look at how quickly he explodes up after returning to the ground after the first jump and how high he can get off the floor on consecutive jumps. This is a transferable skill that means something in games.
When I watched Derrick Williams last year, I did not look for how high he got after coming down the lane or spinning in the post for a dunk, but how well he did in second chance opportunities after gathering an offensive rebound above the rim and bouncing off the floor for a quick finish dunk. That is true value.
When Evan Turner was having his great year at Ohio State, there were many who felt strongly that he had a great future in front of him. However, physically, I failed to see him do anything that consistently "wow-ed" me. Occasional glimpses are simply not enough to justify this trait. Watching Harrison Barnes this past year, early in the season, I saw much of what I see in Evan Turner – a lack of consistent explosion and power. However, as the season wore on, and especially during the ACC and NCAA Tournaments, Barnes started to show those physical gifts more clearly. That was valuable for him – and an interesting subplot to this year is whether he has continued that trajectory or not.
Space-Eating: It is a lot of fun to look at wingspan and standing reach. We see players whose hands hang at their knees and think about what kind of terror they can be on the defensive end. However, possessing freakishly long features is no guarantee of success. Hasheem Thabeet possessed a 7'6" wingspan and 9'5" standing reach in 2009, but his lack of fundamental understanding of the game has held him back from actualizing his potential on the court (full disclosure: Thabeet spent some time this summer with the Pro Training Center, and we are hopeful that he is able to live up to some of his measurements this season and in the future).
The real question for this measurable is does the player utilize their length to eat up space. The court is standard width of fifty feet, and the basket is always 10' high. The more length that is actually deployed effectively, the better job defensively a team can do in limiting offensive options. When I watch prospects like John Henson or Anthony Davis, I am wondering if their unusual frames are able to alter the space around them. It is more than just an ability to block or change shots, but more an ability to change an entire plan of attack by the opponent. Some players do that – others do not.

As much as mental health experts and criminologists may point to all these "warning signs" in the behavior of mass killers after a tragedy such as the Newtown shootings, the reality is that there are hundreds of thousands of people who fit that profile, Levin said. It's very hard to predict who will commit such a crime.
Planning for a crime
Carrying out planning rules out a diagnosis of psychosis, which is associated with a disconnect from reality, Garbarino said.
"The overwhelming majority of mass killers are not psychotic, and they're quite methodical in the way they commit an execution of the people they feel are responsible for their problems," Levin said.
Many shooters do appear to plan their attack over time, Ash said. From a passing thought, they become obsessed with revenge fantasies. They will read about previous shootings online; the websites they read may hint at what they're planning. From there, they move toward scoping out a location and deciding what they will wear.
That assassinations occur after a planning process like this is an insight from the U.S. Secret Service, Ash said. If agents come across someone who has been tracking the president's movements for six months, that's a much higher-risk situation than someone who just has an idea about attacking.
In the April 20, 1999, Columbine High School shootings, Harris and Klebold had clearly done significant planning. Officials found a piece of notebook paper "showing a diagram of the Columbine High School cafeteria with two X's next to the pillars," and a list of how many people were there before and after the first lunch period, the sheriff's department said. Both boys had written an itinerary for the day of the shooting.
The largest single school shooting in U.S. history, which occurred at Virginia Tech in 2007, was perpetrated by Seung-Hui Cho. Cho had been declared mentally ill and "an imminent danger" to himself by a Virginia special justice, CNN reported in 2007.
The massacre, in which Cho killed 32 people before turning the gun on himself, was not spur-of-the-moment, either. During the two hours between the two shootings he committed at different dormitories on April 16, 2007, Cho mailed a package with 27 videotaped messages and an 1,800-word statement to NBC News. "You forced me into a corner and gave me only one option," he said in one of the videos.
Schizophrenia is a diagnosis that has come up in some instances of mass killings -- for instance, Jared Loughner, who killed six people and wounded former U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords outside an Arizona supermarket in 2011.
Ted Kaczynski, the "Unabomber," received a diagnosis of schizophrenia from court-appointed psychiatrists. This is an especially likely diagnosis in cases when the shooter is in his late teens or early 20s, because symptoms often do not develop until that age, Levin said.
But in other cases, the shooters' "pathology" is more clearly tied to their situations, Levin said. They have given up hope for the future, and they seek revenge. They believe they are the victims, and the people they are shooting are villains.
School shootings
School shooters specifically tend to come from middle- or upper-class families, Garbarino said. In poorer areas already rife with violence, kids with the same vulnerabilities may drop out of school or end up in the criminal justice system much earlier than in a resource-rich community, so school itself might hold less meaning for them.
"For school shooters, they're sort of emotionally living and dying in high school," Garbarino said.
Kipland P. Kinkel, a freshman at Thurston High School in Springfield, Oregon, killed his parents and two students in his school's cafeteria in 1998. His parents were both teachers. His family had taken him to therapy, concerned about his obsession with guns and explosives.
"They got every possible resource, and it still didn't work," Garbarino said.
Garbarino interviewed a young man who had brought guns and bombs to school on Valentine's Day of his senior year of high school. The boy had studied the Columbine shooting and contemplated killing himself or his tormenters, who had been bullying him. Before he acted, a couple of girls saw him and found his behavior odd; one of them went to get a police officer. He surrendered and went to jail. He said in retrospect that he didn't want the girls to get hit if he started shooting.
School shootings by students dropped significantly after Columbine because schools took action to encourage everyone in their communities to bring threats to school officials' attention, Ash said.
"We've averted a number of mass killings at schools around the country in recent years because young people are beginning to inform when they hear one of their peers threatened in the hallway," Levin said. "They may inform a resource officer, a parent, a teacher, a school psychologist."

Padres 2, Dodgers 0: Robbie Erlin worked 7 2/3 superb innings and fellow rookie Jedd Gyorko homered and drove in both runs as host San Diego posted its fifth win in six games.
Will Venable recorded two of the five hits by the Padres, who must win their nine remaining games to avoid a third straight losing season.
Skip Schumaker registered three of National League West champion Los Angeles' six hits. The Dodgers, who clinched the division title with a victory at Arizona on Thursday, have lost six of eight.
Erlin (3-3) limited Los Angeles to four hits and one walk while striking out seven in improving to 2-0 at home. Luke Gregerson retired the only batter he faced and Huston Street struck out two with runners on the corners to notch his 32nd save.
Gyorko opened the scoring in the first inning with a groundout that plated Chris Denorfia, who reached on a two-base error while leading off and stole third. The lead was doubled in the fifth when Gyorko deposited a 2-0 offering from former Padre Edinson Volquez (9-12) over the center-field wall for his 20th home run.
GAME NOTEBOOK: Volquez, who was released by San Diego in August, yielded two runs - one earned - on five hits and four walks in 6 1/3 innings. ... Dodgers 1B Adrian Gonzalez had a pinch-hit single off Street in the ninth inning after sitting out Thursday's division-clinching win with a quadriceps injury. ... Los Angeles fell to 24-12 in its last 36 games against NL West rivals.

Internet Protocol
What is Internet Protocol?
The Internet Protocol is the principal communications protocol used in exchanging data packets across an internetwork using the Internet Protocol Suite.
Responsible in routing packets across network boundaries. And it is also the primary protocol that establishes the Internet.
IP is the primary protocol in the Internet Layer of the Internet Protocol Suite and has the task of delivering datagrams from the source host to the destination host solely based on their address also known as IP Address. For this purpose, IP defines addressing methods and structures for datagram encapsulation or packet encapsulation.
Historically, IP was the connectionless datagram service in the original Transmission Control Program introduced by Vint Cerf and Bob Kahn in 1974, the other being the connection-oriented Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). The Internet Protocol Suite is therefore often referred to as TCP/IP.
The first major version of IP, now referred to as Internet Protocol Version 4 (IPv4) is the widely used protocol of the Internet, although the successor, Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) is in active, growing deployment worldwide.
