"As I've played and traveled in various countries around the world, I've often been in situations with another person or their family and realized that this was their very first time meeting a person with skin like mine, shaking his or her hand or breaking bread over the dinner table. It is a strange weight to go from "representing your race" to Representing Your Race, but certainly bearable.

Oh inspiration shoots, how I love thee. Let me count the ways: I adore your antique bird cages, your layered personal cakes, your colorful colorfulness, your avant-garde nature-infused hair accessories, your nest inspired couture floral rings, and your teal and yellow bumble bee ties. How you inspire me to go forth and create my own inspiration shoots, in my bedroom, with my sticker collections that I've had since I was five, and my pretty little Anthro dresses, and my Betty Crocker cake...

about the exhibition
Hudson (Show)Room
Thomas Demand
Munich, Germany
September 06–November 25, 2001
about the artistThomas Demand has had one-person exhibitions at the Tate Gallery, London, England; the Frankfurter Kunstverein, Germany; the Kunsthalle Zurich, Switzerland and the Fondation Cartier, Paris, France. Although his work has been exhibited in group exhibitions in this country, including the Museum of Modern Art; the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum; the Walker Art Center; and the 1999-2000 Carnegie International. This will be Demand's first major one-person museum exhibition in the U.S.
about the exhibition
Thomas Demand's photographs are pictures of absence—they are intricate mysteries that pose questions about the things that are not apparent in the work. Demand doles out information in small portions and he provides few clues or referents that allow for simple readings of his prosaic images. His non-specific titles— Barn, Model, Terrace—provide little help in unraveling the meaning of his work. Yet, each image refers to a highly specific and psychologically charged location: Corridor is based on the hallway leading to serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer's apartment. Like Corridor, Demand's photographs refer to absent protagonists, the now-empty (and rather ordinary) settings they once inhabited, and the often times tangled events that occurred within these places.
Although Demand bases his works on actual places, his photographs are recreations of these settings made almost exclusively from paper and cardboard. This is not always immediately apparent, but, upon closer scrutiny, it becomes evident that details are missing, elements are approximated, and, perhaps above all, everything has a hint of peculiarity. In Studi, for example, name placards are blank and the beverage glasses sitting on the table contain color rings that give the illusion of being half full. By constructing all of his models out of the same basic material, his images have a uniformity and objectivity to them. Through photography, Demand makes these flimsy and ephemeral settings permanent.
The places Demand chooses to depict are always of note but never monuments from history. Normally, the locations seem completely without interest or import: standard public buildings, common domestic settings, or other arcane locations (bathrooms, dorm rooms, hallways, offices) that have been made significant solely by the actions of people. Corner, for example, reveals the simple dorm room where the young Bill Gates developed a version of the BASIC programming language. Demand's locations and events exist on the periphery of notoriety. For him, the importance of these images resides in their subtexts.
Although he thwarts the tradition of photography as a faithful recorder of people, places, and events, Demand is interested in uncovering the power and neutralizing effect the media has on our culture. News, like history, is subject to a host of biases, distortions, and interpretations that affect how we receive information and deduce meaning about events. The photograph Poll, based on the Palm Beach County Emergency Operations Center wherethe 2000 presidential race recounts were staged, illustrates some of the shortcomings of media images. The most compelling aspect of photograph is what is not shown: the palpable tension that must have filled the room as lawyers, proctors, advisors, and the media searched for missing or dimpled chads—the controversy itself. Demand's photograph is not a picture of the Florida recount, but rather a picture about the events surrounding the recount and how media images can fail at relaying a complete story about an incident.
Poll, like many of Demand's works, has the look of the aftermath of a crime scene. Other Demand photographs—like Lawn, a nearly abstract detail of grass—appear like forensic evidence, as there is no other apparent reason for their intense scrutiny. His carefully constructed props always give the impression of being "left as they were." Demand's use of media and other reproductive sources remove his settings from their context, time, and place. Beyond the conceptual underpinnings of his process and the media-critique his work provides, his photographs are compelling visual objects. Demand has the rare ability to create images that linger in our continually distracted minds.
Thomas Demand is organized by the Aspen Art Museum and is accompanied by a fully-illustrated catalogue, with essays by Aspen Art Museum Director/Curator Dean Sobel and Lars Lerup, Dean of the Rice School of Architecture, Rice University, Houston, TX. Following its ArtPace debut, the exhibition will travel to the Aspen Art Museum, CO and SITE Santa Fe, NM. Major funding provided by the AAM National Council. Additional support provided by Charles and Peggy Balbach, Elizabeth L. Barbatelli, Frannie Dittmer in memory of Randy Beier, Dick and Sylvia Kaufman, Robert and Nancy Magoon, Dennis and Debra Scholl, Paul and June Schorr, Paul and Gayle Stoffel, and the Institut für Auslandsbeziehungen, e.V., Stuttgart.

Will I Have to Replace My Server in Six Months
Cost-to-Performance Ratio
The costs associated with your server's ongoing maintenance as well as employee productivity need to be weighed against the server's ability to perform its tasks efficiently and effectively.
Once you start to see performance degradation in your server or when components start to show signs of wearing down, you can expect increased costs to your business resulting from employees accomplishing less work or taking more time to get their work done as well as additional repair and maintenance expenses related to the ongoing operation of the server. As a result, a significant increase in the server's cost-to-performance ratio is often a key impetus for its replacement.

Vacuum Insulation Panels Research Project
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is currently conducting research into vacuum insulation panels. These panels should fully integrate with existing exterior insulated façade systems.
Project Description
The project seeks to develop a high R-value wall panel featuring vacuum insulation panels with an exterior insulated façade system. This can deliver a commercially viable wall system up to R-40.
Project Partners
Research is being undertaken between DOE, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Dryvit, and Dow Corning.
Project Goals
The goal of this project is the development of vacuum insulation panels with performance levels of R20, R30, and R40, while providing a unitized protection system of vacuum insulated panels (VIPs) that can be handled by tradesmen without damaging and losing vacuum. In addition, the handbooks for the ASTM International and the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air Conditioning Engineers will be updated.
Benefits and Impacts
Proper insulation can save homeowners money on both heating and cooling, which account for 50 – 70% of home energy use. By developing improved wall designs, the improved air sealing can reduce a buildings' energy use for both heating and cooling.

Fruit does offer plenty of benefits, so there's no need to give up your favorite berries or melons. Research suggests that fruit may reduce the risk of cancer and other chronic diseases, and it's also a good source of fiber and naturally filling. The key is moderation. Stick to two cups or two pieces of fruit each day, says registered dietitian Dawn Jackson Blatner, author of The Flexitarian Diet.
Meanwhile, the Woodstock Fruit Festival—a weeklong event in August—has extended an open invite to Kutcher. "As far as I know, from my extensive experience in the fruitarian community, no one has died or come down with an illness related to a fruit diet,"Arnstein says. "We'd really like Ashton to consider coming." The festival, which is in its third year, has seen significant growth, and more than 700 fruitarians are expected to attend this year.
[See Best Diets for Healthy Eating.]
While the debate will undoubtedly rage on, experts warn that the fruitarian diet is simply too extreme. "There is no one magic bullet—no magic food or food group that will keep us healthy," Jackson Blatner says. "Variety is more than the spice of life. It's the basis of optimal health."

I watch a lot of YouTube videos. I used to have really slow Internet, and we upgraded on July 23. My speedtests went from 1.86 down, 0.3 up to 17 down, 1.5 up. Everything else I do on the Internet has very much benefited from this upgrade, but YouTube hasn't, really. For about two days, it was great. I could watch a video in 1080p full screen and it wouldn't stop at all, whereas before I'd always had issues. For some reason, Flash wouldn't buffer more than like 30-45 seconds ahead of where I was watching. (This started around January or so.) I had always paused videos at the beginning to let them buffer all the way through, but it got to the point where, for whatever reason, I couldn't do that. I had to watch every. freaking. video in 30-45 second chunks, even on the lowest quality offered for that video.
Anyhow, so upon upgrading our Internet, it flew for about two days and then this problem came back. It's not as bad as before - I can watch a video straight through in 480p or lower. But I want HD! If my Internet connection is 10 times as fast, this shouldn't be happening. I should be able to watch a 1080p video full screen straight through like I was for those two days.
I have the AT&T U-Verse 18 Mbps connection, and it speedtests at 17 Mbps down, 1.5 Mbps up.
I have a PC that I purchased last summer. (HP Envy-14 Beats Edition, model 1260se) It has 6GB ram, an i5 processor, and discrete graphics. I use Firefox and Chrome. Firefox is currently my primary browser, but I'm working on switching to Chrome because Chrome is soooo much faster. (I have a lot of tabs that I keep open in each and I don't have time to switch them all.)
I also have a MacBook Pro that I purchased shortly after this summer's release of the new MacBook Pro (with the retina display.) Mine is not the new one, though. It has 8GB ram and an i5 processor. I use Chrome exclusively on the Mac.
Both computers encounter this problem. And no, I don't need to reboot, I turn off both computers at night.
I have checked Task Manager on my PC while this issue is happening in Firefox to see if something is weird with my computer, and everything matches the norms EXCEPT for the fact that the Flash plugin keeps consuming 10-15% of the CPU. While that's not enough to significantly slow performance of the rest of my computer, I wonder if it has something to do with this problem. Neither Firefox nor Flash are using more RAM than they should be.
Also, both before the Internet upgrade and now, every time the problem gets REALLY severe and Firefox stops responding, then if Firefox does start responding again I see a message that the Flash plugin has crashed.
I just upgraded my Flash player on my PC to 11.3.300.268 (and rebooted, though it didn't instruct me to) in order to see if that would help, but no such luck. The upgrade changed nothing.
Also, I just noticed... when I right-clicked on the YouTube video I'm trying to watch on my PC (I'm typing this on my Mac) the final option in the menu still reads "About Adobe Flash Player 11.3.300.265." What's with that? (Oh, and then right after I typed this, Flash decided to crash on me. FUN.)
Considering the amount of time I spend on YouTube, I would really like for this issue to be resolved. And to reiterate, I have fast Internet and two fast computers. Everything else works wonderfully, but YouTube doesn't.
The change to YouTube's buffering policy was deliberate and done by Google/Youtube after extensive testing that showed them this provided a better experience for more customers.
Chrome comes with it's own version of Flash Player, that's why the version you installed (268) does not appear when you right click in Chrome. If you tried the same thing with Safari or Firefox you'd see 268.
I'd recommend also posting this on the YouTube forums to see if they have any advice.
Hmm, it should have said 11.3.300.268. Can you try installing from this DMG?
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/pdc/11.3.300.268/inst all_flash_player_osx.dmg
Sorry, I must not have been completely clear - I updated Flash to 11.3.300.268 on my PC, and Firefox still shows 11.3.300.265. I haven't updated on my Mac and I haven't checked the Flash version in any browser. I am currently (trying to) watch YouTube videos on my PC, while simultaneously doing other things, including posting on this forum, using my Mac.
No, I ran the plugin installer. When I right-click a YouTube video in Firefox and click "Global Settings," the "Advanced" tab shows that I have ActiveX version 10.2.153.1 and Plugin version 11.3.300.268. However, Firefox still shows 11.3.300.265. (Also, just FYI, I had to try twice to open the "Global Settings" window; the first time I tried, Firefox stopped responding so I had to end the process for Firefox and try again.)
Oh, and I just clicked on the "Check Now" button in the "Advanced" tab in "Global Settings" and the Adobe webpage it opened (in Firefox) shows that I have version 11.3.300.265 installed. So, in Firefox, both YouTube and Adobe are saying that I have 11.3.300.265, but Flash itself is saying I have 11.3.300.268, which is what I know I installed.
So I turned my computer off last night, and when I turned it back on today I went to do the clean install, but it randomly shows 11.3.300.268 now (without doing the clean install). So I guess that's good?
I hope this fixes my issues. If it doesn't, I'll post again. Otherwise, thank you for your help!

I should have posted this earlier, but Fenix Tx is actually interested in Rock Band.
Now other than the three singles; All My Fault, Threesome, Katie W.(yes they only had three =/). Although Phoebe Cates, and A Song For Everyone were featured in soundtracks (so these two also have some coverage).
I would also like to see; Flight 601 (All I've Got Is Time), Surf Song, Minimum Wage.
I would love to see more, but I'm going to restrict myself for now.

2nd one is also the opening for an anime series (Mirai Nikki to be exact) but i don't think it was written for that or anything.
The various groups should try to get all the various artists and labels that were working with The Authority and Wavegroup.
Wavegroup announced several artists at the beginning, but not all of them made it, like Galactic, for example. More from any band from those 2 groups would be awesome, especially Widespread Panic.

McChrystal resignation shows Obama weakness
Many pundits have been pounding the theme that Obama must fire General Stan McChrystal to avoid looking weak. They are dead wrong. The firing of McChrystal shows much greater weakness than keeping him would. It was an unjust action, and there is nothing weaker as a leader than taking unjust action to avoid being seen as weak.

A Mentor man accused for fleeing a crash scene had his pre-trial hearing delayed on Thursday morning.
Michael Springer, 20, was set to appear in Mentor Municipal Court at 8 a.m., but had his hearing reset for June 28.
Springer is accused of crashing his car at about 4:15 a.m. on May 19 near the intersection of Roselawn Drive and King Memorial Road.
Police said the car was travelling at a high rate of speed, went off the road, hit a fence and a tree before rolling over and catching fire.
Springer then allegedly fled the scene on foot, but turned himself with an attorney around 7 p.m. that same day.
Springer was charged with obstructing official business, hit/skip and failure to control.

Well played Bill O´Reilly, well played. I often think of this line from Henry V whenever one speaks as Costas does:We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;For he to-day that sheds his blood with meShall be my brother; be he ne´er so vile,This day shall gentle his condition:And gentlemen in England now a-bedShall think themselves accursed they were not here,And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaksThat fought with us upon Saint Crispin´s day.To admit that you would fall to the floor and hope the bad man doesn´t hurt you makes me ill, and Costas should be ashamed to call himself a man...
Costas is just more proof, if any is needed, that there are no standards in media anymore, whether that media be news, sports or entertainment
Costas has said enough already. He´s spending way too much time defending his idiotic editorializing ensuring more face time. Go away!
Costas has gotten more face time on the tube in the last couple of weeks than he has in the last couple of years. The more I see him, the less I like him.
I watched the segment and Costas looked like a deer in headlights and sounded twice as dumb as he looked. If I was ruler I would decree that anyone who speaks out against gun ownership is no longer allowed to own guns or have bodyguards with guns.
Ha!Smug Costas with the bad dye job skewered by Ted Baxter.Ouch!Now he can join up with Hanoi Jane and the Ditzy Chicks in the All-American Hall of Shame.
Costas, having no true core beliefs of his own will ALWAYS be easily trapped by people who know what they believe and why. I hope he really is the sacrificial goat for the network.
He´s compensating, i tell ya. When you´re only about 5´2" tall and you have a tiny *!€¥ ....
The image of Costas face down on a sticky theatre floor is quite fitting. I'll think of it every time I hear him smarm from the announcer's booth.
but of course bobby would instruct his body guards to shoot for him
I would say that he would make a good Frenchman, but I don´t want to insult the French that much.....
Costas is incompetent in his role as America´s sports midget. What makes anyone think we care what he thinks....about anything.
Bob Costas was on NBC last night during Sunday Night Football. He´s one of those wide-eyed, pasty faced little worm-men and it´s an insult to see him seated with real men as though he, or his opinions, matter to anyone other than liberal slimeballs working to "get the guns" and help finish off America. I´d love to ask teeny little Bobby" if he thinks his screed on guns has added anything to his stature?
Millions of smug sheeple AGREE with him. They have most of the propaganda media teaching them all kinds of things about guns, hunter, self defense and gun crime. They don´t want YOU to be armed. Especially if you are legal about it. Somehow the criminals will be disarmed or more manageable with yet another, final, gun control/ban law. YOU on the other hand are an affront to them because you at least have a chance. In fact a pretty good chance since many criminals take off at the mere sight of a legal gun in the hands of someone who knows how to use it. That refutes everything in the sheeple world.

I had a bad feeling about tonight, especially when Northeastern was up on BU 1-0, the first UMass goal was called back and two painfully, blatently obvious Too Many Men on the Ice calls against Merrimack went unnoticed by the Hockey East Officials, but UMass perservered and clinched a playoff spot.
As I see it, UMass could end up either 7th or 8th, and could end up playing @BC, @BU or @Lowell. I don't know which opponent I want, but I want UMass to finish 7th, so I'll be rooting for the Minutemen to beat the Warriors again, and for the RiverHawks to help us out and beat the Friars. Come to think of it, I don't care which opponent it is. I'm just happy I'll be at a couple of hockey games next weekend.
Glad Moore got to play. Merrimack had a shot at the end of the game which he saved, but apparently it was after the buzzer, as the box score shows he had 0 saves. Official score keeper sucks!

After spending most of the season watching on AllAccess or listening on 100.9, I finally was able to make it over to the Mullins for the game with my wife and four children (all under ten). Luckily, we had free tickets as we spent about $40.00 on concessions! Anyway, great game, great atmosphere, and a chance to cheer for the seniors in person made for a fun night out with the family (that and the fact that my wife made all the concession runs).

Good job by the team bearing down tonight and getting a solid win over a good Merrimack team. Looks like either BU or BC (or maybe even Lowell) for the playoffs. Can't wait until we are able to get a home playoff game again.

Home ice would be nice, but consider this:
If we win tonight, with a UNH and PC loss (both likely) we end up tied for sixth. Depending on what we do to Merrimack in the pairwise the five teams ahead of us in Hockey East are all in the top 15 in Pairwise nationally.
Its frustrating to see the points left on the ice against some of the lower teams, but the reality is its hard to argue that Hockey East is the toughest conference this year.

Meff, was thinking the same exact thing this morning. Other than Vermont, every single team in this league can be extremely dangerous. So, while home ice would be nice, making the playoffs in such a competitive season is acceptable. That said, I still think this team could have a significantly better record this year than it has. Look at all of the top 15 teams they have beaten. Just not sure why they cannot beat the lesser teams consistently.

Vote for BC/BU/UML as the number 1 team in the nation next week.
Also, I really hate Merrimack for renovating their rink. I'll never forget the first time I walked into the rink, tried to find my seats (bench spot really) and the Minutemen lead by Paul Dainton walked past me in full gear because they had to get to cut through the crowd to get from the visitor's locker room to the ice. It had character. Now it's just a small dump with plastic seats and a low ceiling that gets hit by the puck too much.
Hopefully I'll see some of you tonight.

To no one's surprise, a complete collapse in the last 10 minutes tonight leads to a 5-3 loss at Merrimack. Once again, a bad stretch of about 7 minutes kills them. Don't know how many times that has happened this year, but I do know it has been a lot. Now to the Heights next week to play one of the hottest teams in the country. But, that's what you get when you barely squeeze into the playoffs.

OOC: http://roleplayerguild.com/showthrea...ats-A-New-Dawn
Timberstar slowly out-stretched his claws, working the muscles in his body, trying to drown out all signs of sleep in his aching bones. Every bone and muscle in his body longed for him to fall back into his long slumber, but yet he fought off theses feelings and with quite a bit of effort, he finally pulled himself up till he sat neatly in the middle of his nest with his long, bushy tail wrapped comfortably around his paws. He waited a few seconds before fully opening his eyes, letting them get used to the morning light which crept through the entrance of his den, just about touching the edge of his nest with its rays. Slowly and heavy with effort, he raised his paw, removing the odd bit of dried moss that clung between his claws with his mouth. Doing the same to the other paw, he finally gave a silent but tiring yawn.
There was times when he was just a few moons old when he could shoot up from his sleep and bound over with all the energy in the world, ready take on the whole world… but not any more. Those years are behind him now and his age is finally creeping up on him. Skimming his tongue over his teeth, he opened his mouth wide, sucking in all the scents around him. Everything was normal, just your average forest scents. Yawning just once more, he stretched out his limbs, rising to all four paws; he toddled towards the tunnel to his den. The longing for more sleep still hung to his limbs, making him as unsteady as new-born kit. Finally reaching the exit to his den, he dipped his head as a rush of the morning breeze ruffled through his fur. Once outside, he relaxed his hind legs into a sit as he curled his tail in front of his paws. From there, he scanned the camp for any dangers or anything thing seemed off. But all he could see was the slow movements that came inside the other dens as the other cats seemingly started to stir.

unctuous duchess said: this is an honest query: why make a graphic for tees that shows or imply stinkage? without the stink smoke swirls, the graphic would have been more compelliing.
I'm pretty sure that's smoke. Like a car, or a train. It implies a steam or coal powered machine and contrasts with the plant, to me. Smell never entered my mind. -
NeoAkira said 220 weeks ago
Pretty cool art, but I'm not sure if I like the picture being so small on the shirt. -

i absolutely love the design! it's reminds me of the movie wall-e a little bit. :)

Designing School Grounds
Schools for the Future
- Author:
- Department for Education and Skills
- Publisher:
- TSO (The Stationery Office)
This Schools for the Future guide, 'Designing School Grounds', encourages schools to consider how best to use their grounds for the educational, recreational and social needs of their pupils. It gives practical case studies of where schools have transformed their environment and brought new learning and excitement for their children, staff and the wider community.
The guide is designed for everyone involved in developing school grounds: teachers, headteachers and governing bodies, local authorities, architects, dioceses, and sponsors. It is particularly relevant to people who make decisions about capital and revenue spending, want to increase the educational opportunities offered by schools, or are involved in designing school sites.
The guide is divided into four sections that cover:
Guidance on the process of creating or improving school grounds
How school grounds can benefit staff, pupils and the wider community, and how to design to maximise that benefit
Where to go for practical advice and how to access the available sources of funding

After all, what's the point in being a Duchess if you can't borrow the Queen's jewels every now and then?
But still modest. Perhaps too modest.
Dressed like hipsters!
Katy, Miley, Britney, the gang's all here!
This is a bit of a fashion duck up.
The future King of England wore a tiny yellowed boy-dress.
There was nothing bumbling about her fervent laundry room romp with the troubled Young Ian Somerhalder lookalike, Leo.
Never underestimate the Duchess.
The new nanny hired to tend to little Prince George is the same one who helped raise Prince William, as Wills leaves the Royal Air Force to spend more time with his family.
Just like the commoners over whom she presides. Plus, more super important news you can use.
Sometimes humidity just happens. Even to magical unicorns like K-Mid.
One month after giving birth, Kate Middleton already looks slim, trim, and radiant.
Kate Middelton wears a maternity dress that you can buy too!
New photos of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and little Prince George are positively regal.
If you have sick obsession with Kate Middleton, the Banana Republic Issa London Collection is the designer collaboration for you!
We all knew it was coming. But so soon?
Kate Middleton makes her first appearance post-baby in polka dots.
Here he is, people.
It's official: Kate and Will headed to the hospital, the Palace has confirmed.
Or not! Nobody knows!
Out with the 13th, in with the 24th.
These beautiful blue-blooded people are having a baby and waiting for it arrival is making the world lose its collective marbles.
Evidently passing on virginal white is... the new black?
You'll likely see a triple rainbow form overhead, or a pack of doves flying in a heart formation.

Prospective law students and the "market" generally would benefit from more analysis along these lines. However, Professor Schlunk's analysis appears to be so limited and so oversimplified that it is of very limited utility. Drawing return-on-investment conclusions for career decisions with long-term consequences based solely on first job out of law school salary strikes me as flawed on its face. While working with manageable parameters makes sense and communicating with plain English is helpful, one would need to consider more than the first year salary to approach a meaningful financial analysis. (This comment is based soley on the article, which may or may not accurately capture the substance of his work.)

As a recent grad from Rutgers School of Law with no real prospects of employment, (grades in the 50th percentile or do and over 40) I am more than happy with my choice of going to Law School. I planned on working for myself, and now have an opportunity to do so in a career that I find much more interesting than my previous job.
Talking opportunity costs ... How much is a mind numbing soul sucking job really worth?

Poor investment on my part. Still paying off the loans (to be fair: I did go to school at an older age than most), still pounding out the billable hours and have not had the time for an real out of town vacation in years. Actually looking to switch careers at 40.

For so long law school has been the premier idea for the middle class to become rich and the poor to become middle class. That idea seems to have totally torpedoed with the rising tuition at law schools across the country, and the one minded focus on rankings and less on where the law school student ends up. Sclunk was on the ball when he first released his report, now everyone knows it even some of the graduates who have resulted to suing their alma maters.

I'd like to second Guy's assessment of the Altixes. Our group owns a small one and I routinely use much larger ones. They're fantastic for large memory problems, easy to develop on [they're Linux, so the tool chain is identical to my laptop ;-)], relatively easy to maintain, and pricey for the initial purchase. And one certainly can question the longer-term viability of a chip (Itanium) that costs so much to develop and sells so poorly. But then the Altixes are running Linux so its trivial to port your application(s) elsewhere should that chip vanish in the coming years. Ed -- Edward H.

text: A Sprite Engine...from a Slightly Different Point of ViewKyra is a simple, fully featured, industrial strength Sprite engine written in C++. It is built on top of SDL and has been tested on Windows and Linux. Kyra is licensed under the LGPL. For more screen shots, take a look at the Demo page. What is a Sprite Engine? A Sprite Engine is the drawing and rendering component of 2D and quasi-3D games. Examples of this kind of game are Civilization, Donkey Kong (classic arcade), Pharaoh, Zeus, Warcraft, Diablo, Frogger, and Pirates!, among many others. It is so called because the "characters" or "little men" are referred to as "sprites". Simple and Easy to Use. Kyra has a clean and simple C++ interface. Or at least as simple as an engine can be. It comes with several examples to get you started, as well as full documentation for the API and the tool chain. Fully Featured. It is fully featured, supporting top-down, side, and isometric rendering. It supports the 'Sprite' as its basic type, but also supports Tiles and user-drawn Canvases. It can draw to a traditional bitmap surface, and supports OpenGL hardware acceleration. Industrial Strength. Kyra has a complete tool chain including a sprite editor and encoder. It's fast and capable, with specialized code for rendering and rectangle updates. ...From a Slightly Different Point of View. But Kyra does some things differently. It supports color transformations and alpha blending (!). All objects in Kyra are inserted into a containment hierarchy, and children are transformed by their parents. So a complex object can be moved simply by changing the coordinates of the top level object, and color transformations and alpha transformations work the same way. The alpha blending can be applied at a per-image or per-pixel level. Objects can be scaled up or down when drawn, or scaling can be pre-cached. The screen can be split into sub window views, and each view has its own object transformations. Includes Isogen. A utility for quickly and easily generating isometric art. Use as is. Kyra is currently working and ready for use. You can put it into your programs and start using it now. It has been used enough to mature some and be already bug fixed.

Dirty, dehydrated and starving, itching all over with poison ivy and bug bites, 12-year-old Alexandra Bain and her 8-year-old sister Kyliyah Bain lay face-down in a swath of northern Mississippi woods -- their kidnapper by their side.
Thirteen days earlier, authorities say the girls were abducted from their Whiteville, Tennessee, home by Adam Mayes after he strangled their mother and 14-year-old sister.
And for the last three days, Alexandria and Kyliyah had nothing to eat or drink.
Their weary, young bodies were prone, right along with Mayes, about dusk Thursday near a logging road in an area populated with deer and an occasional hunter, but little else.
Then a state officer -- one of scores of law enforcement agents who had been working round the clock to find Mayes and the Bain sisters -- yelled, "Get your hands up."
One girl picked her head up, soon followed by the other. Mayes himself then began to raise his head, all the while holding a 9 mm pistol.
"I hollered 'Gun!' three times to let my team know that there was a weapon involved," recalled Master Sgt. Steve Crawford, head of the Mississippi Highway Patrol's special operations unit.
"Then he raised to his knees, never brandished a gun toward any of us or the children, and at that time took his own life."
That single gunshot wound to the head ended a manhunt that spanned several states and involved about 24 law enforcement agencies, said FBI special agent in charge Daniel McMullen. It also captivated the nation, rocketing Mayes from obscurity to a spot on the FBI's "Ten Most Wanted" list practically overnight.
And most of all, it tore apart a family -- leaving two young girls motherless, but alive.
It is "just a very, very close-knit, loving family. And it's a family that didn't deserve this," Rick Foster told HLN's "Nancy Grace" show Thursday, hours after talking to his relieved good friend Gary Bain, who had just learned his two daughters were alive.
For all the new details provided by federal and state officials at a press conference Friday in Jackson, Mississippi, many questions remained. Chief among them -- and one that may never be fully answered, with Mayes dead -- is why he did what he did.
The two people who may know best, Alexandria and Kyliyah, ideally can "shed some light" whenever they "get to where they can speak, when they calm down," said state Department of Public Safety Albert Santa Cruz.
But for now, authorities say they are just thankful that the girls are alive.
The sisters "didn't cry" after Mayes shot himself "within inches" of them, seemingly relieved the worst of their ordeal was over Thursday night, said Crawford. After getting a drink of water, they were whisked off by ambulance with two female agents, said FBI spokesman Jason Pack.
Then, some time between 2 and 5 a.m. Friday, they were released from Le Bonheur Children's Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee, hospital spokeswoman Sara Burnett said.
"A lot of prayers were answered when we found these two young ladies to be safe," said Lt. Lee Ellington, a state Department of Fisheries, Wildlife and Parks officer who was on site when Mayes committed suicide and the girls were rescued.
"At the end of the day, the two young ladies returned home to their father safely, as did all officers."
The saga began April 27, when Jo Ann Bain's husband, Gary, called police to report that his wife and three daughters were missing from their Tennessee home.
The Bain and Mayes families are connected through Gary and his former wife, Pamela, who is Adam Mayes' sister, explained Shana Johnson, a lawyer for Adam Mayes' mother-in-law, Josie Tate.
Tate has said that Adam Mayes believed the two girls he allegedly abducted were his children.
But Brenda Foster firmly denied to HLN that Jo Ann Bain, her close friend of 26 years who was back in school pursuing a degree in elementary education, was ever "intimate" with Mayes. Her husband, Rick Foster, explained how the Bains had embraced and trusted Mayes -- with their daughters calling him "uncle" and Gary giving him odd jobs and treating him like "a son."
Even then, authorities say, Mayes violently turned on the family.
Police said that his wife, Teresa Mayes, told police she was in the Bains' garage when her husband killed Jo Ann Bain and her eldest daughter, Adrienne Bain. According to a law enforcement source, the two were strangled.
Johnson, Teresa Mayes' attorney, said Thursday that her client last saw Mayes and the Bain girls in Mississippi on April 27.

Albion net goalgetter Charlie
1:17pm Friday 6th July 2012 in Sport
Albion have added non-league goalgetter Charlie Oatway to their development squad.
Oatway, son of the club's first team coach of the same name, has agreed a one-year deal.
The 20-year-old scored 34 goals for East Preston last season as they won division two of the Sussex County League.

Wauwatosa police officers responding to a call at 2:10 a.m. Dec. 28 say they found a drunken 30-year-old Wauwatosa woman urinating on the side of her ex-boyfriend's house in the 8000 block of Woodland Avenue.
According to the Wauwatosa police report:
The 34-year-old Wauwatosa man, the ex-boyfriend, called police after the 30-year-old and her friend, a 53-year-old Wauwatosa woman, knocked on his door and rang his bell for three minutes.
The two had broken up earlier that day. The woman met up with her friend and started drinking.
The younger woman was confused and constantly asked police not to "beat her up." She sat in a puddle while she was being arrested, got up, was unsure of why her bottom was wet and then asked the officers if they had urinated on her.
After pleading with police not to beat her up, the woman's and her friend's tone quickly changed. "You know, you're pretty sexy," one of them said. They continued flirting and asking the officer if he was single.
Both women were arrested, the 53-year-old for disorderly conduct and the 34-year-old for drunken driving. Neither agreed to a breath test, so they were taken for a blood draw.

Blur TV ad takes aim at Mario Kart
In Mario Kart, you use green, red and blue shells. In Blur, you use more powerful power-ups. Do the math.
Thu, Jun 11, 2009 | 09:02 BST
Bizarre: Blur is "adult Mario Kart"
It may not have red shells, but Bizarre Creations' Blur owes more than a little to Mario Kart, the company's admitted.
"The PR people don't really let me say this but Blur is like an adult Mario Kart," Blur dev boss Ben Ward told Develop.
"It's what you want from the next-generation of karting games."
Blur's out later this year for PC, PS3 and 360. There's an interview here.
Mon, Jun 01, 2009 | 09:50 BST
Blur will be like Mario Kart, only not limited to one platform, says Griffith
Activision boss Mike Griffith told assembled journos and analysts in its pre-E3 presentation yesterday that racing game Blur should attract both the hardcore racing fans, and the mainstream Mario Kart crowd. The difference however, is that Blur won't be limited to one system.
"The concept of Blur falls in between the hardcore tuner sims and just-for-fun arcade racers," says the Gamespot transcription of the event. "Mario Kart in particular shows the potential for a well-crafted mainstream racing game."
"But where Mario Kart was limited to one system, Blur will be multiplatform," said Griffith.
He goes on to say that Activision wants to do for racing games what Call of Duty did to shooters.

Schachter calls for more Wii third-party hits
UBS analyst Ben Schachter has called for higher profile third party titles for the Nintendo Wii following the May NPD software numbers.
"While overall hardware and software trends for the Nintendo Wii continue to be strong, we would like to see more third-party hits on the platform," said Schachter.
"To date, Guitar Hero III, Sega of America's Mario and Sonic: Olympic Games, and TTWO's Carnival Games are the only third-party Wii games that have sold more than 1 million units to-date according to NPD, and there are many third-party Wii exclusives that have come-and-gone with minimal reaction from the market," he added.
"Nintendo's share of software dollars on its platform has approximated almost 50% since the Wii was introduced, and reached an all-time high in May of 68%."
The statement comes after it was revealed that Spielberg's Boom Blox only sold 60k, although NPD analyst Anita Frazier puts the poor performance down to EA's puzzler being released in amongst "Super Smash Bros. Brawl, GTA IV, Wii Fit, Mario Kart and the upcoming Metal Gear Solid 4″.
Thanks GameDaily.

ISE Storage Systems
Intelligent Storage
The ISE storage blade is an easy-to-use, high-performance Fibre Channel storage system leveraging the industry's best SAS HDDs. ISE storage provides enterprise-class reliability with self-healing capabilities. ISE storage systems are an excellent solution for Microsoft SQL Server, Hyper-V, SharePoint, Exchange, Oracle, VMware vSphere, Citrix XenServer, or other database and virtualization solutions.
ISE Storage Blade Unique Attributes |
Linearly scalable performance and capacity |
High performance SAS HDD FC-SAN storage system |
Supports high performance throughout entire lifecycle |
Fully active-active controllers |
Self-healing storage with head-level sparing and full internal telemetry |
Easy to use and fast deployment |
Cloud-based RESTful management interface |
Lowest power consumption in the industry—700 Watts |
Low TCO with zero-touch maintenance and free 5-year hardware warranty |
Supports optional synchronous replication called ISE Mirroring |
Solving a Data Storage Dilemma
Purpose-built for server and desktop virtualization, cloud computing, and other applications with multi-tenant workloads generating near-simultaneous I/O requests to shared storage resources, ISE storage systems are a simple and efficient way to rapidly deliver critical information across the enterprise.
Predictable Performance
Unlike every other storage array within the industry the ISE maintains rated performance at full capacity. ISE delivers predictable, consistent, high performance, throughout the entire product lifecycle.
High Performance Storage
ISE 200 series is a Tier 1 and Tier 2 all-HDD storage array offering between 9.6 and 38.4 TB of useable capacity and up to 13,500 IOPS in a single 3U system. ISE 200 series provides an ideal balance of price, performance, capacity, and reliability. ISE storage systems are designed to manage multiple simultaneous streaming and random I/O patterns. ISE outperforms traditional disk systems by delivering 2-3 times the number of IOPS per disk and up to 1,400 IOPS per terabyte.
Highly-Available High Reliability Storage
The ISE is engineered from the ground up to be highly-available, and to support high-availability application configurations and architectures. Redundancy at every level of the product ensures that if failures do occur within an ISE, the ISE continues to be available. ISE provides true split-second active-active failover delivering high availability to the applications it serves, at rated performance and capacity.
Traditional storage arrays and SAN products, assume that drive and component-level failures will occur and depend on human intervention to recover from those failures. The ISE is built based on the understanding that the vast majority of media failures can be detected and repaired in situ, while the storage array simply continues to operate, with no impact to performance or capacity.
The ISE is the storage industry's only storage array designed to repair, rather than replace, failing and marginal storage media, using a set of software tools and algorithms we call Managed Reliability.
No Cost 5-Year Warranty
X-IO is so confident in the ISE's technical and operational superiority that it warranties the ISE for five years at no cost to its customers.
Temperature & Vibration | The two most frequent causes of Hard Disk Drive (HDD) failures | ISE storage blade's mechanical design dramatically reduces heat and vibration | |
Undetected Data Corruption | Rarely mentioned but quite pervasive are silent data errors that go unreported and undetected, resulting in corrupt data being provided to applications | ISE is one of the first storage technologies to incorporate ANSI T10-DIF making it possible to detect and identify data errors including misdirected, lost, or torn writes | |
Long RAID Rebuilds | If a rebuild is given a low priority to be completed in off hours, it can take days. The RAID group is also subject to higher risk of another failure and data loss (except RAID 6) | ISE automatically performs preventive and remedial repair of components to eliminate RAID rebuilds. ISE "heals-in-place" | |
Service Avoidance | A system of 240 HDDs can expect a failure rate of 40 drives per year.* 67-90% of failures are No Trouble Found (NTF) after run through manufacturer's repair process | Each ISE includes spare redundant capacity to replace a hard drive in the rare circumstance that "heal-in-place" does not solve the problem | |
*Carnegie Mellon study that reported FC and SAS drives have a realistic mean time between failure of 52,560 hours, or an annual replacement rate of 16.67%. Study and results presented at 5th USENIX in 2007. |

This is the same number as will be displayed in disk management software (Disk Manager on Windows, fdisk or similar on Unix) rather than the number quoted by other vendors who use 1GB = 1000MB etc. It is also after sparing, metadata and RAID.
2Performance is based on industry standard benchmarks. Your results, based on different workloads and/or system configurations, may vary.

Pop Etc - Time Off
Last month, The Morning Benders released this statement regarding their decision to change their name to Pop Etc. In short, the American group discovered that "bender" is a derogatory slang for homosexual in the UK and parts of Europe while they were on tour there for the first time. Bummer.
The associations with the demeaning term "bender" prompted the band to change their name to Pop Etc, which also signals a significant shift in the music of their previous albums. The band are certainly taking the 'pop' term to heart when they released a mixtape in March. Old fans may be shocked by the sonic shift and there is definitely a notable absence of the live instruments associated with The Morning Benders.
My favourite track on the mixtape could easily have been mistaken for an interlude as it clocks in at just over 30 seconds. I really feel that the group could work with Time Off and develop it into a full length track. Whether or not Pop Etc. decide to do so on their upcoming third LP is yet to be determined.
You can download the mixtape indirectly by following the links here or you can preview individual tracks on their Soundcloud page
