A great success!If you have a 17-month-old male toddler, I can hardly think of a better present! "Ball, ball!" and then spent the rest of the day bashing the balls.

When the apocalypse hits, what do you want to be driving?
Twenty-eight days. That's all it took. My world, the only world we ever knew, has been completely wiped out. They always joked that it would be zombies, but this is so much worse. Whoever ends up reading this (if it even finds another pair of human eyes) should know that in these last few hectic days I was able to get my hands on the most indestructible pieces of machinery known to man. At a time when every other manmade structure had become obsolete, I found five perfectly operational vehicles. Roads are few and far between, but at least we can once and for all settle the argument of which cars should be labeled as the toughest in the world. Below is my testament to the indestructible on four wheels.
Volvo 240
Waking up in the city long after the lights stopped working, I had run into four of these parked illegally right next to the impact zone. Apparently the thrill of one last Instagram photo capturing impending doom was too much for these urbanites to pass up. I tossed out the Modest Mouse-heavy iPods and stocked one of the spacious powder blue wagons with extra gas. People used to drive these cars ironically…it's ironic that they're all dead now. Note: I never learned how to use irony properly. Had to walk away from the 240 because it was just too depressing- even for post-apocalyptic Earth.
Peugeot 404
Apparently those broken web pages had it wrong. The 404 is one of the few things that can be found. After perfecting my stand-up routine in front of cardboard cutouts of those Hunger Games kids (I'd managed to find two relics- the 404 and a Blockbuster video store) I used the Peugeot to get myself from Santa Monica to Denver while driving 50 in the passing lane the whole way- still felt like a jerk.
VW Beetle (Original)
They always said that the only things that would survive a nuclear-type explosion would be the cockroaches. Well, go ahead and add Beetles to the list. I drove one of these across Nebraska before the squealing engine finally got to me. I'll take the dreaded sound of a lifeless world over the Beetle's drone any day. Plus I'd found a Hostess manufacturing plant and could use a little exercise.
Toyota Hilux
Back when electricity flowed freely, I would watch the Top Gear episode where they beat the hell out of the Hilux while laughing and shaking my head. The only time I've laughed in weeks was when I found one of these sitting among the rubble of what I believe was an ice cream parlor, practically unscathed. Got bored one day, rolled it into Boston Harbor to see if it would float. It didn't.
Paramount Marauder
Turns out my Hilux adventure was a blessing in disguise, as I found one of these washed up on Revere Beach (yes, apparently this is possible) not too long after setting off on foot again. I now spent my days crushing and re-crushing random objects while waiting for my time to come. I feel like it's getting close now, as the sun flares are getti
Buying a new car doesn't have to be a nightmare. Need Proof? Here's CarWoo!

Zombies Anyone?
This party was a bit different than our usual setup and strike labor. A zombie part for Slant 6, launching their newest video game Raccoon City which is part of the Resident Evil video game series. We started early with a slough of pickups from film industry supply and rental locations to help this event have the authentic feel that Sarah (Dream Group Productions) had in mind as the coordinator and brains behind this event. Once we had all of her items onsite the setup began. There was everything you would see in a feature zombie movie from blood and guts, body parts, bullet casings, police cars, street lights and yes even zombies…
It was a fantastic display of creativity, and the guests had nothing but wonderful things to say as they departed the nights events!
Cleanup was rather new to us as well, as we had never taken care of a cleanup that had blood all over windows, floors, vehicles and any other surface you could imagine!
We have a few conservative pics below.
To see all pics (caution! Blood and gore) check out the post on Dream Group's blog

Survey of Energy Resources 2007
The Changing Role of Hydropower
Most of the early hydropower projects were built to provide a primary 'base load' to the power system and this pattern will continue in countries where hydropower occupies a significant share in the power generation mix. As other technologies have been introduced, hydro has tended to evolve into a supporting role - responding to gaps between supply and peak demand.
The challenge is to continuously improve hydropower technology in terms of environmental performance, materials, efficiency, operating range, and costs. From the smallest to the largest, all developments have a footprint, especially evident in the cumulative effect of many small schemes. Smaller-scale hydro plays an important role in remote areas, in community developments, and in maximising the value of multi-purpose infrastructure - applicable in both developed and developing countries. Large schemes will continue to be the most environmentally benign in supporting grid systems and powering industrial and urban centres.
The least-cost option for producers desiring additional capacity is almost always to modernise existing plants, when this is an option. Equipment with improved performance can be retrofitted, often to accommodate market demands for more flexible, peaking modes of operation. Most of the 807 GW of hydro equipment in operation today will need to be modernised by 2030.
There are many recent cases of incremental hydropower, both where current capacity has been added to and where existing infrastructure has been reworked, resulting in entirely new hydropower facilities. There are 45 000 large dams in the world and the majority do not have a hydro component. While this is not always an economic option, there is a significant market niche in this area.
Development of hydro has a long-term economic advantage. With annual operating costs being a tiny fraction of the initial capital cost, hydro's autonomy from the fuel price is a distinct advantage. The flexibility of storage hydro (using reservoirs) also makes it a compelling partner to ensure security in mixed power systems. Another driver for hydro development is the increasing need for water management. Multi-purpose hydro reservoirs can bring security of water supply as well as power.

First of all, so there's no confusion, this route is NOT on the diamond. It is just filed under that rock. I give this route one star, but not because it is a bad route. It is an excellent first technical alpine route for a beginner. After doing the route, however, I would probably not be interested in doing it again unless it was a winter ascent, which would be different. The history of the route is kinda interesting. I'm not sure of specific dates, but in the early part of the 1900's a thick steel cable was bolted to the rock with huge eye bolts (much like the bolts on the 3rd). Non-technical climbers would use this as an aid to climb up this face of Longs. That is until people started to realize that a 1in. thick cable bolted to the rock for hundreds of feet is a great conductor of electricity. The cable was removed, but a couple of the eye bolts still exist at the belays. This climb is best started from the boulder field at the base of Long's approaching from the East. From the boulder field, the hike is only about 0.25mi. to the start of the climb and about 1.5mi. descent from the backside (W. side) of Long's. Otherwise, you're looking at a 6 mi. hike just to the boulder field with a full pack of gear. Best climbed mid summer through early fall (unless you bring crampons). I climbed it mid-October in 1998 and it was cold and coated with a nice layer of verglass (thin ice). This changed the grade from easy 5.4 to very contemplative 5.6-7ish. There is only really one full pitch of technical climbing, then it's very easy 5th and 4th class for a pitch or so. After this, 3rd class get you to the summit, taking the line toward the edge of the diamond, then back to the summit. The ranger station at the Longs trailhead has a nice 3D model of Longs and a ranger will be happy to show you the exact line. Descent is a downclimb of the same route (raps possible from the eye bolts) or via the standard Keyhole route.
Very minimal rack. A few large stoppers and some hexes or tri-cams. Several shoulder slings. A 50m rope is sufficient.
As a side note to this description, I would like everyone to know that the North Face, or Cables Route, is the quickest way to descend off the summit of Longs to the Boulder Field. From the summit, walk pretty much NE down the third class slopes which are cairned and almost have a trail. The technical pitch or two at the bottom of the face can be easily downclimbed by a confident climber or rappelled even easier using the fixed eyebolts as anchors. With one or two ropes I believe it is a double rappel either way. This deposits you at Chasm View, where you get a great view of the Diamond, and it is only a short scramble down to the Boulder Field, where you can pick up the trail. I have done this from summit to Boulder Field in less than an hour before, as opposed to three miles of strenuous hiking down the Keyhole.
Fun training hike/climb winter, spring, summer and fall.... Find the first eybolt at the bottom of the slabs and the route follows a plumb line, would be moderate friction climbing if not for the water that runs down the slabs, make mental note of all eyebolts for the winter white out descents!
The crux has got to be the step out of the dihedral on the first pitch. You have to teeter from the left to the right in a dynamic move that places your entire weight on one foot at a small (3 inch) wet/icy ledge as you step up and out of the dihedral. At that moment you are above about 30 feet of air and a decent fall.
Climbed this route in March of 2000 with Chris Cavallaro. Mistakenly not realizing that the technical crux pitch was right after Chasm View, we were not roped up and ending up free soloing the crux pitches with crampons and ice axe. Not the best way to climb it for sure, so my advice rope up early, even before Chasm View if you want. Simul-Climbing is the way to go for the majority of the route. Tons of fun in the winter, some nice mixed climbing, pick the line that looks best to you and enjoy.
In response to the questions posted to cb-d... the top eyebolt for the rappel can normally be found in the winter though it can be a bit challenging. A double 60m rappel will get you WAY past the "technical" section. One doubled 60m rope should get you to easily down-climbed terrain if not past all difficulties. For pro, it depends, some shoulder-length slings for slinging the eye-bolts, a set of nuts and some mid-size hexes (and a hammer to pound them in if the crack is iced up) should do it. There's normally not enough ice to take a solid screw. A Spectre might work if you trust them.
Kevin's comments are right on. There are 3 huge eye bolts (shoulder sling) to a final 4 one at the end of the technical section. They were clear and plain as day to see on a March 22 ascent, and I believe that you'd have no trouble finding them unless the entire ramp was completely covered in snow. I used one additional mid-sized hex between bolts, and the entire technical pitch seemed about 150'. For descending, a single 50m rope works fine, in two raps, to get you to the base of the technical section.... though it's kind of close, so tie your rope ends together.
Just did Cables this weekend (4.6.02). Conditions were great on the North side. The first eye bolt at the base of the 5.4 pitch is gone, but the bolt at the top still seemed solid. Still a little ice in the dihedral, so it was nice to have a tool ready at hand, but easy climbing overall. Made the mistake of descending the Keyhole, which was a crappy mix of hard icy-crusted snow and rock. Definitely go back whence you came in the early season. The "tourist" route is just as exposed, longer and more dangerous until it melts out. -Brad Hill
Not to give away my usual non-technical approach or standard descent off the Diamond but really, the combination of the "Loft" approach and "Clarks Arrow" is by far the fastest, easiest, approach /descent of Long's. I've used it at least 15-20 times and once you have been up/down it once it's a piece of cake. Be warned that you are on your own and there aren't a horde of tourist's to follow and there are route finding problems for the novice "Peak Bagger" but in regards to a the "Fastest/Easiest" route this is the best!
The running records for both one-way and round trip on Longs were done via the North Face cables. You may save time higher on the mountain by being over on the Loft, but trailhead to summit it is certainly not the fastest way. I would also think descending the NF is the way to go for most Diamond routes, certainly considering how straight forward this descent is and how quickly one can get to non-technical ground. P.S. I think the running record for trailhead to summit is 1:18, by a Fairview track team member and student of Roger Briggs.
Well - with such a dry winter the route is 99% dry right now. Go really light for this thing - every other stopper and hexes from #5-#9 and maybe a few Friends from 1.5 to 2.5 for the timid. Approach shoes that you can climb in - it is slabby 5.4 for the (relatively short) technical part. Slings to tie off the eyebolts. There are two eyebolts during the technical climbing, and one after you step out of the dihedral. Dont belay here if you have a 60m but move up 10 more feet to another eyebolt on much easier ground where you can unrope. From there go left a little ways till a ramp goes right up to another eyebolt next to a cairin. Wander up to the top. This route is quite easy in the summer and a quick but more technical route than the Keyhole route. Significantly more challenging (and more fun) in the winter. Casey Bernal
Did this route on Monday, 9/23. Weather was great, but the technical part was iced up pretty good. If it wasn't verglas on the slabby portion, there were several little "waterfalls" making things a little difficult (especially when you exit left to get to the upperbolt) - probably more like the 5.6, 7ish feel as previously suggested. Decended the "Clarks Arrow" or Loft route to make a nice Tour de Long's. Another note of interest to us ice climbers as well...looks like the waterice coming off the loft is forming up nicely. The entire route was covered - but obviously still a little thin!
Did the Cables in September and for the most part, the route is rather icy or wet. Another variation does exist without the eye bolts just to the left. A small, left facing dihedral falling off the Diamond/Chasm Wall eats up nuts and goes at about 5.5. With this season being a wet one, this route might be the one for the summer for the rock climbers.
Powder, lots of powdery snow, snow up to your waist, up to your ears even! If thats your cup of tea, go get'm. Not yet campers. Be patient and you shall be rewarded. Most routes in this area have been completely shat uppon by the last few storms... go somewhere else.
Me and crazy nut from Kansas City (Chris Johnson), ascended Long's via the Cable Route on May 17, 2003 and found tons of snow and sunshine. We ascended Chasm Lake via The Camel Coulior in which we encountered deep, soft snow to some ice. Snow was encountered all the way up to the base of the rock section which was partially covered with snow! The first and only pitch was 30 feet in length in which three eye bolts were visible. Above the rock pitch was wonderful, wind scoured snow with an approximate maximum angle of 50 degrees all the way to the summit. No eyebolts were noticed though above the rock. We ascended the snowfield unroped since the snow was soft enough to allow you to plant your feet about one foot deep into the snow. Beware of rocks below thin layers of snow that had a layer of ice on them! We descended the same way we came up by using our steps we created during the ascent. I recommend to take advantage of this awesome snow pack on the Cable Route which I heard is rare!
This webcam can be helpful to get an idea of conditions on the Cables route: www.nps.gov/romo/images/netcam.jpg.
Just did Cable Route this weekend (10/11/03). The technical section had some hard packed snow and very little ice. I lead with lots of dry tooling. My partner used ice axes and soft boots to smear the rock face, which seemed to work much better. All eyebolts exposed.
Climbed on 7-3-04. The climbing was entirely on snow. Guess those June storms really add up.
Climbed on 9/12/04. I've climbed this route twice before (Jan and June '01) and this is the most ice I've ever seen!Bodes well for ice season this year! Unfortunately, it's enough ice to require crampons but not solid or well-bonded enough for good screws or completely comfy tool sticks. The "normal" exit slab is *covered* in thin ice. Much better to go all the way up to the overlap which has a nice iced-up ledge below it and a relatively easy exit left - ice is pretty thick in the corner for this last 50-60'. On Sunday, I rated this climb M-Scary though in retrospect probably M4(+?) right now; definitely harder than the several times I've climbed Dreamweaver.Only good news was good rock pro (yellow #2? Friend, mid-sized nut) at the 2 one-move cruxes, but I really didn't want to fall with all the pointy things I had on and in my hands! Also of note, the bottom eye-bolt is gone (someone's new red tri-cam is fixed/frozen here now) as are one or two other eye-bolts up higher. There's still one bolt just above the start, one after the first crux (in current conditions), one after the exit left at the overlap, and one (best belay) about 10 ft above that. There is also at least one more higher up that is useful for rapping on the way down. The N face itself is snow/rock and can be done with either boots or crampons. Go straight up from the belay for about 100 - 200' then traverse left and up avoiding the ice and slabs.
Adam, Hike up to the boulder field and make a judgment call yourself. casey
Adam, Your response to slithering Carl was spot on. For current conditions, you can sometimes save a trudge up to the Boulder Field by checking out www.nps.gov/romo/images/netcam.jpg which gives a decent view of the route. Adrian
Is that a real Webcam? Because yesterday's picture looks just like today's, and last night looked just like the night before. I think something funny is going on here. I wonder if it's one of those websites where the take a bunch of pictures and randomly post them as actual webcam shots. And they say it's a webcam just so they can boost their hits. I don't think if that were the case that BC would allow a link to it. I'm going up there tomorrow and try to find it.
Hey guys. I did this route on 1/22/05, and wanted to post a little beta on the eye-bolt situation. I have never done this route before, so I'm not entirely sure if accurate, but we found one eye bolt at the end of a large snow slope at the start of the technical section. The next pitch had one bolt exposed along the way, and there were two bolts exposed at the first belay station. We used the second, uppermost bolt for the belay anchor because there was a party behind us. We stayed roped up for only one pitch, and my partner found the location of a last eye bolt covered in snow. We dug it out and used it to rap down to the first belay spot. I hope this beta helps anyone attempting this route-which is why I come to this site.
As of 2/06, all the eyebolts are exposed and easy to spot. Pretty much no ice.
There was a small stream down this route on August 11. Even with the stream, the route is 5.4 at the hardest. A reasonably experienced leader can easily do this route using only the bolts for protection, though we used one piece between bolts because we brought extra gear. On the whole, it's a fun and easy route, as well as an easy route to find.
Hello, I am not as confident in my alpine rock and snow as I am in traditional rock climbing. Is June a good time to climb this route, or is it better to wait until maybe July? I have climbed quite a bit in the Winds, which has some alpine style climbing, though the highest peak I climbed there was 13000 ish, and not technical. Is this a good one for some one with about my experience? Thanks, Pete.
The North Face is 50 times better than the Keyhole Route. Chasm View is unreal. This was my first real look at the Diamond, and it blew me away.
Just wondering if anyone has been up the Cables route in the past few weeks. What's it lookin' like?
Climbed it 8/8/07. The one pitch of technical rock was pretty wet, and even running with water in places, but still 5.4. Long hike, but fun climb. Note: a descending climber said there was some ice this morning in the Homestretch of the Keyhole hiking route!
FYI- I posted some pics and info on here: www.14ers.com/php14ers/tripreport.php?trip=6430&cpgm=tripmai>>>
Climbed this as my first climb up Long's yesterday. There was snow and thin ice on much of the route. All the bolts that remain were visible (there are four, I think). Altitude, the approach, and the slick rocks made it feel harder than 5.4. After the fourth bolt and the cairn we continued straight up, off-route. That was easier than the lower part but still low fifth class. Is there a name for this route, besides mistake?
Climbed The Cable Route for the first time this morning and loved the change of pace from The Keyhole. We roped up and also placed pro along the way (more for practice of placement than out of necessity). Turned it into a 3-pitch climb due to the water running down the face of the rocks which made it slightly more dangerous for a potential slip. We made quick work of the "technical" portion even though we probably could have free soloed it considering there is practically little snow to be found (patches on the ledges leading into pitches). Spent less than 30 min at the peak before descent and then simul-rapped down to the first bolt in order to speed up our descent. This was a good move as the weather quickly changed by the time we were crossing the boulder field. All things considered, I was very pleased with the "ease" of this route. Don't forget to take a peak over the ledge by the first bolt and you will get a good view of the Diamond. Busy day on the Casual Route :)
Subjective: Very fun climbing and a great alternative to the mobs on the Keyhole. Pretty quick way up and certainly down the mountain. Ascent: Roped up at the upper ledge. It's easy enough to solo up to here. 1 pitch from the upper ledge. The whole dihedral was soaked, but the climbing is very easy, 5.4 at most. I placed 1 piece in addition to slinging the 4 bolts and that will be more than sufficient for any reasonably experienced leaders. There is a short bolt (4th?) right at the end of the technical section followed closely by a longer bolt (5th?) that is a great belay point. Descent: By downclimbing just a few feet from the long bolt (5th) a single rap on a 70m got us to the upper ledge, just. Can't wait to do it this winter!
We did this on the 4th of July 2013. Still a bit snow at the base and above. Had to climb through a small stream descending the route. Lovely way up and down. We went down The Keyhole. I'll never do that again. This is the way to go if you can climb.
Climbed with my son in late august 2012. Fun route. Had it all to ourselves, when the Keyhole must have had a hundred people on it. The small technical part was easy. We climbed in hiking boots and would not have roped up had the route not been running water. Placed one piece of gear other than slinging the eye bolts.

"A Simple Life" paints portraits of two good people in gentle humanist terms. It filled me with an unreasonable affection for both of them. Here is a film with the clarity of fresh stream water, flowing without turmoil to shared destiny. No plot gimmicks. No twists and turns. Just a simple life.
The life is that of Ah Tao, who was orphaned during the Japanese occupation of Hong Kong, spent her entire life in the service of four generations of a Chinese family, and is now the servant of the only family member still living in China. He is Roger, a movie producer. They have a settled routine: During a meal, he puts out his hand, knowing she will be standing behind him with a bowl of rice. No words.
But this meal, which opens Ann Hui's film, doesn't contain the full truth of their relationship. That is something we discover at the same time they do, when Ah Tao (Deanie Ip) suffers a stroke, and Roger (Andy Lau) takes charge of her care. He assumes she will continue to live with him and says he will hire her a caregiver. She wants nothing to do with that. She wants to live in an old folks home, and that's that.
Throughout the film, she resists his money, protests that his presents cost too much, tells him to spend more time at his job and less on his visits to her. This despite the fact that she literally has no one else in her life (all the members of Roger's family now live in America).
Is she angry? Not at all. She eagerly awaits his visits. But having spent a lifetime caring for others, she now feels badly about being cared for. The retirement home at first seems a grim and barren place, with toothless old people staring vacantly into space. Although the supervisor tells her she has the "coziest" private room, it is a sterile cubicle with no ceiling, so the cries and calls of others can easily be heard.
She doesn't complain. Deanie Ip, who won half a dozen "best actress" awards for this role, achieves the miracle of giving Ah Tao integrity, humanity and lovability without seeming to try. She is a beautiful and serene woman. The role of Roger is taken by Andy Lau, a big Hong Kong star, who here seems more ordinary and less heroic than in most of his roles.
We see that although they have never articulated it, they have become dependent on each other. She raised him from infancy. When we meet his mother, she seems perfectly nice, but there isn't the same unspoken bond. Neither Ah Tao or Roger is demonstrative; I found myself waiting for a hug that never came. But they care.
Life in the nursing home seems less grim than at first. Ah Tao recovers from her stroke, and there is a wonderful scene when they go on a walk and he teases her that old Uncle Kin (Paul Chun) has a crush on her. She tries to hit him for that — playfully, like a girl.
What we understand is that "A Simple Life" is content to regard these two inward people as they express love and care in their quiet ways. A movie in which the old lady is forgotten by the family would have been predictable melodrama, but how much more moving it is when she is remembered. The movie has an emotional payoff I failed to anticipate. It expresses hope in human nature. It is one of the year's best films.

BERLIN (AP) — Michael Schumacher on Tuesday announced he has called off his much-anticipated Formula One comeback because of lingering injuries from a motorcycling crash earlier this year.
The seven-time world champion was to fill in for injured Ferrari driver Felipe Massa and hoped to return at this month's European Grand Prix in Valencia, Spain.
Schumacher said on his Web site he informed top Ferrari officials on Monday evening that "unfortunately I'm not able to step in for Felipe."
Schumacher, 40, retired at the end of the 2006 season. Since then, he has raced occasionally in a motorcycling series but was injured in a crash in February.
"The consequences of the injuries caused by the bike accident in February, fractures in the area of head and neck, unfortunately have turned out to be still too severe," Schumacher said. "That is why my neck cannot stand the extreme stresses caused by Formula One yet.
"I really tried everything to make that temporary comeback possible. However, much to my regret it didn't work out," he added.
"Unfortunately we did not manage to get a grip on the pain in the neck" which arose after he tested an old Ferrari at the Mugello circuit in Italy, Schumacher said.
The German won 91 races in 250 starts in an F1 career spanning 15 years beginning in 1991.
"I am disappointed to the core. I am awfully sorry for the guys of Ferrari and for all the fans which crossed fingers for me," Schumacher said.
"All I can do now is to keep my fingers crossed for the whole team for the coming races."
Ferrari president Luca di Montezemolo thanked Schumacher for his loyalty to the team in attempting an F1 comeback.
"I am very unhappy that a problem means that Michael cannot return to racing," Montezemolo said. "In the past few days, I could appreciate his great efforts and extraordinary motivation which had spread through the team and fans around the world.
"No doubt his return would have been good for Formula One and I am sure it would have seen him fighting for wins again," he added. "In the name of Ferrari and all the fans, I wish to thank him for the strong attachment he displayed for the team in these circumstances."
Schumacher's younger brother, former Formula One driver Ralf Schumacher, said the pullout was "a great shame for everyone who had been looking forward to Michael's comeback."
But he added that "it is absolutely clear that a burdensome Formula One commitment is not possible if (his) state of health does not allow it."
Schumacher's manager, Willi Weber, said the crash in February was "the most serious accident that Michael had in his motor sports career."
"Michael was totally fit, that would not have been a problem," he said. "But after the first test laps, there were no improvements in the area of the neck muscles."
Ferrari announced that team test driver Luca Badoer will race in Massa's place at Valencia. Badoer, a 38-year-old Italian, was first floated by Italian media after a crash took Massa off the race circuit.
The 28-year-old Massa underwent surgery on multiple skull fractures after he was hit in the helmet by a loose part from another car and crashed into a protective tire barrier during qualifying for Ferrari at the Hungarian Grand Prix last month.
Montezemolo said Ferrari decided to give Badoer "the chance to race for the Scuderia after he has put in so many years of hard work as a test driver."
Last week Schumacher said he was slimming down for the race, but complained of some neck pain.
"I only have to admit that my neck pinches a bit. We have to get a grip on that as health has priority — that's the clear arrangement made with Ferrari and, by the way, with my wife, too," Schumacher said.

For martial artists in wuxia, what he/she learns at the very foundation/beginning of his/her training can greatly determine the direction and extent to which his/her skills eventually develop, even if those early skills are, in of themselves, not particularly great or formidable. Witness Gwok Jing in LOCH: he started off training with the Gong Nam 7 Freaks' martial arts - not exactly world-beating stuff, but provided him the sturdy foundation he needed to learn much greater skills later on.
When Yeung Gor developed his ultimate skill of the Sad Palms, he synthesized the many different skills he had learned during his youth into a new skill that had certain attributes of all of them. The Sad Palms is described as a skill that combines tremendous raw power with unusual, counter-intuitive strokes that are extremely difficult to read and counter. Despite being called Sad *Palms*, it's actually a full-body skill that uses many parts of the body to attack.
Doesn't that sound familiar? You bet it does. It sounds *a lot* like West Poison Au Yeung Fung's skills - particularly after he tried to combine his twisted faux 9 Yum Jen Ging skills with his native Ha Mo Gung technique.
Yeung Gor learned his first significant martial arts skills from Au Yeung Fung. Although Au Yeung Fung didn't teach Yeung Gor that much, what Yeung Gor did learn of the Ha Mo Gung became the foundation for all the myriad skills he would gain in the years ahead. Thus, it's not surprising that the Sad Palms came to resemble faux-9 Yum Ha Mo Gung to a great extent.
This raises the question: if Yeung Gor hadn't learned Au Yeung Fung's Ha Mo Gung skills, but nevertheless learned those many other skills that he later did, would it have made a notable difference in the path of his martial arts development? Would Sad Palms have ended up looking/working very differently?

BOOKS review of Nicholas Phillipson's "Adam Smith: An Enlightened Life" (Yale; $32.50). 1776 was a good year for big ideas, a rare thing. It was also a big year for good ideas, an even rarer one. Our own big-deal Declaration was, in its way, the small pugnacious summary of Enlightenment ideas that had reached their apex that winter, in London. In February, Edward Gibbon published the first volume of "The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire." Then, a month later, his friend Adam Smith published his big book, "The Wealth of Nations." Classics of English prose, Gibbon's and Smith's books don't just belong to the history of ideas; they helped establish the ideas of history and economics. But where Gibbon is a clear figure in shadowy light, a figure of the Enlightenment who found his place in the twilight of history where reason fell, Adam Smith is a shadowy figure in clear light. He is to most of us the invisible-hand guy, the Scottish face on the British twenty-pound note—the one who showed that greed was good, that the market, left to its own devices, would always set the right price and favor the right goods. Yet a very different Smith is current in the academy. This Adam Smith is seen not as the apostle of the free market but as one of the fathers of the French Revolution, albeit the nicer, warmer bits of the French Revolution. None other than Noam Chomsky is a fan of this Smith, while one of the most original and mind-altering academic works of the past decade, Emma Rothschild's "Economic Sentiments: Adam Smith, Condorcet, and the Enlightenment," claims him for sentimentalists more than for stockbrokers, as a man who believed that feelings of sympathy and engagement preceded impulses of industry and ambition. By cutting off "The Wealth of Nations" from his other great book, "The Theory of Moral Sentiments," we not only cut off one half of Smith's mind from the other but lobotomize our own understanding of modern life, making economics into a stand-alone statistical quasi-science rather than, as Smith intended, a branch of the humanities. Phillipson's new biography tries, very successfully, to pull together the two Smiths, letting us see how the man of feeling became the little god of finance. Tells about Smith's childhood in Scotland, his friendship with philosopher David Hume, and the development of his ideas. Discusses the three main arguments Smith advances in "The Wealth of Nations."

Has anyone used Hitwise for business research, and if so, how did you find it. We would like to deploy this service, but wondered if it was more consumer based research?
On 17:32:09 24 January 2008 NatalieBroome wrote:
From our use of Hitwise so far we have found it invaluable for:
- Profiling our market in terms of size, traffic to competitor sites and subsets of our industry (travel)
- Identifying new partnerships opportunities (via clickstream)
- Evaluating our share of the paid search and organic search market and new opportunities to exploit
- Other options such as mosaic profiling are additional costs so I haven't used these.
In terms of competition, Alexa isn't very accurate (based on their stats versus our analytics) and doesn't even begin to offer the level of detail that Hitwise does. I couldn't find anything else in the marketplace that could provide us with this information so Hitwise is the obvious solution.
In terms of whether it is worth the money, you are going to need to use it regularly to make it worth your while. I know previous colleagues and friends that have had Hitwise in the past and never quite got round to using it! This is pretty easy to do, it depends on how proactive you are.
If you are planning to use it as part of a major e-commerce initiative, I'd say it would be worth purchasing. However, I would consider how much 'market profiling' you can actually undertake using the web as a start, given your company is yet to transact online. If you want to identify online competitors in your marketplace, what their proposition is, what search terms they bid on, how well they perform for SEO and their estimated size in the online arena, I think you would be able to gauge this initially from having a hunt around Google.
I guess it depends how much detail you require....
Hi Katie
As per my earlier post in this thread, we did look at Hitwise for us (E-consultancy.com) and found that the data was just not robust enough to use for our purposes.
The problem is (and I believe this is still the case) Hitwise just refuse to tell you what exactly their data is based on, other than the % reach of the UK internet population they report on.
Their data is based on activity logs from ISPs. But they won't say which ISPs. The rumour always used to be that it was almost entirely Freeserve data (now Orange) but I've no idea what the case is now.
Either way, I think it is safe to assume that their data is heavily skewed towards 'consumer' ISPs and excludes the thousands of smaller business ISPs and corporate networks.
This doesn't really matter if you are a big B2C brand as their data is no doubt as good as any (maybe better than any). And certainly the tools, interface, products and services they apply to their data are very clever and sophisticated - they milk the data well!
But for us, as a B2B niche player, where almost all site traffic is during work hours from users browsing at work, via corporate ISPs mostly, we found their data to be unusable. To be fair, there's no-one else who can provide what we want either.

Hi Guys, Which is the best TV Tuner card to record TV shows in 1080P HD ? It should also record HD TV channels. Please guide me. I need to buy it.
I believe this will: Ceton InfiniTV 4 Quad-tuner Card for Watching Digi... However, I understand the Ceton Tuner requires the same control card as your basic cable box. This is something you will have to ask your cable provider to....well provide. They should not have a problem with this.
-HDTV (ATSC and PAL) is 1080i, not 1080p. -Computer TV tuners do not work with digital cable. They need QAM decrypters and that's basically non-existant. You'd have to get the tuner directly from the cable provider. Edit: TheLaughingMan's suggestion looks like it overcomes this issue. -Computer TV tuners are only good for over-the-air signals and potentially analog signals. Edit: TheLaughingMan's suggestion looks like it overcomes this issue. -If you're intending to just capture a signal from another device, you need a capture card, not a TV tuner. I have an Asus NyCinema EH3160 Combo card. It works great for OTA HDTV and analog using Windows Media Center. The FM tuner works well but it clearly has buffering problems. If you listen to radio for 30-60 minutes, it will eventually start skipping. I have to pause it for a while then resume. It'll stop for a while until it gets caught up and runs into buffering problems again. Kind of annoying, but it works.
i have a hdhomerun dual its awesome for OTA HDTV and has dual tuners as the name implies but only takes in one input. if you need to do this with hd cable then you will need either the ceton or the hdhomerun prime... both can do 2/4 channels with the right cable card from your cable provider... satellite gets a little tricky...not sure on it probably a capture card. maybe firewire used to work...but never tried it.. the nice side to network turner (like my dual) is any pc that is connected can use the tuners and it works from mac/linux/windows and you can watch two channels at the same time.
After some USB tv sticks i use a PCI-Express card: Hauppauge Capture HD, and it is MUCH more stable than anything I 've had before.
I have several ATi HD750 based tuners in USB form all of which work well with WMC. They are cheap, work, have good drivers and are available from almost any manufacturer you can think of.
I use the HDHomeRun Prime w/ a Comcast cablecard and have had great luck with it - my biggest complaint is that 3 tuners is not enough. To get more tuners using silicon dust components, you need more cable cards. Comcast charges an HD outlet fee for each card along with the card rental - so the $2 a month rental is really $12 a month. The next caveat is that to record HD shows - most likely they are copy protected or have some form of DRM. This requires you to use Windows Media Center to record - which works fine, but may not be your first choice. There may be some workarounds, but I have not found any. Ceton just released, or is about to release a single box (InfiniTV6) with 6 tuners that uses a single cable card. If my HDHomerun Prime didn't work so well, I would probably buy one of these. My fear is that I have 4 televisions set up using my current config and it just works. It took a bit of work to get there and I hate the thought of messing it up.
I have a Happauge WinTV HVR-1800 that does ATSC\NTSC\QAM with 1080i support. Randomly has a FM tuner as well, but it's nowhere near the quality of my 70s Kenwood receiver.
It's funny how poor most FM receivers are these days. My 70's pioneer is also quite good compared to what I run into today.

By Aaron Beard The Associated Press
CHARLOTTE - Bruce Irvin raced by an offensive lineman and chopped down on Cam Newton's arm as the quarterback loaded up to throw downfield.
The ball popped free and into the hands of a teammate, capping the latest strong performance by a Seattle Seahawks defense that made life miserable for Newton and the Carolina Panthers.
Rookie quarterback Russell Wilson threw a 13-yard touchdown pass to Golden Tate with 35 seconds left in the third quarter, while the defense kept the Panthers' offense out of the end zone in a 16-12 win Sunday.
Wilson shook off two third-quarter interceptions - including one returned for a touchdown - and outperformed Newton on a struggle-filled day for the Carolina offense, which finished with only 190 yards.
That included forcing Newton into an incompletion on a fourth-and-goal from the 1 with 3:47 left.
"It wasn't easy; it might have looked like it was, but it wasn't easy because of all the stuff they do," Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said. "And they tried all their options and stuff, and we were able to stay in sync with it, so it's a fantastic job defensively.
"Nothing can express it more than standing up on the goal line down there and finishing. That was awesome. It's what defensive players and coaches live for - those challenges and opportunities - and the guys came through in a big way."
Wilson threw for 221 yards, while Marshawn Lynch ran for 85 yards for the Seahawks (3-2) in their first road win.
Newton threw for a career-low 141 yards on 12-for-29 passing and he was sacked four times. He also ran for 42 yards.
"When you know what guys are doing and you still can't beat them, they're just good at what they do," said Newton, last year's No. 1 overall draft pick.
"Let's call a cat a cat and a dog a dog. They're a great defense. We knew what we they were going to do before the game even started."
The Panthers' only touchdown came on Captain Munnerlyn's 33-yard interception return early in the third quarter.
Carolina started the season with plenty of optimism with the return of Newton to lead a high-scoring offense, but the Panthers (1-4) couldn't rebound a week after losing 30-28 to the Falcons on Matt Bryant's field goal with 5 seconds left.
"This is by no stretch done," second-year Panthers coach Ron Rivera said. "This is 1-4, and we're not going to quit. We're going to show up, and we're going to be back on the job (Monday). We will find answers and we're going to win."
The offense never found a rhythm while Newton was frequently off target, completing just 3 of 15 passes for 40 yards in the first half.
"We know he's a great dual-threat quarterback, but once we bottle it up and frustrate him, we know he's going to tank a little bit," Seahawks safety Earl Thomas said. "We were able to do that today."
Carolina had two chances to take the lead in the final minutes Sunday but came away empty each time.
After driving the Panthers to the 1 for the fourth down play, Newton rolled to his right and spotted Ben Hartsock open in the end zone, but he threw a one-hopper on the short pass.
Then, after the Seahawks took an intentional safety, Carolina got the ball back at its own 31 with 54 seconds left and no timeouts. That's when Irvin, a rookie, stripped Newton for his second sack. Defensive tackle Alan Branch fell on the loose ball to seal the win.
The game marked a homecoming of sorts for Wilson, who first gained acclaim as a quarterback at N.C. State. He also played minor league baseball in Asheville and Gastonia before returning to college football and finishing up at Wisconsin.
The rookie hadn't thrown for more than 160 yards in a game until Sunday, but didn't panic when he threw two interceptions and bought time with his mobility on several plays.
"I felt like we had so much control there," Wilson said.
"I made sure everyone was on the same page, and even changed the snap count a lot. We did a lot of great things today."

This is astonishing, or is there something I'm > missing in this thread? The technology mentioned isn't really earth depends on the scale and environment. when I built my first cluster (started at ~48 nodes), I had controllable power and a serial network for bios/console. I never actually wired up the latter, and once the system stabilized, actually removed the controllable power. for small clusters (<= few racks), neither should really be necessary, since your hang/crash rate should be very low. if you have quite fat nodes, the marginal cost becomes negligable, though, and worth the convenience. for larger clusters (say, >256 nodes), even occasional manual fiddling is dubious - may still be OK if you have lots of people. my organization has ~2500 nodes, many remote, and ~5 admins who need to spend most of their time doing systems/net/storage/web programming, etc. so it's pretty important to avoid a lot of driving and/or labor-intensive operations...
