On this week's episode of MyGeekShow we announce and begin building the Shrike, a Nova & Raptor hybrid. It's function will be to carry the AP and FPV equipment we'll install and test over the next few months. And yes, that includes the APM!
Next week we'll finish and fly the Shrike!
Question of the day: How do you seal XPS foam? We'd like some kind of "plastic paint" that was like painted packing tape, if that even exists.
See you Wednesday,
-Trent & Nick

Good job! I enjoyed the video. Looking forward to see how your new airframe works out.
like the new co-host. But now you're gonna have to call it "Our Geek Show"
Paul: Thank you! We have high hopes for it too, hopefully it performs it's APM function. We've never done a APM flying wing....
Scott: Ha ha! That is true... We'll have to rethink the name now :)
If you can't find a liquid i would recommend Covering Film. They have clear and coloured. It's rather cheap too.
You may be able to use laminating film. Check out crashtesthobby.com. Lee shows how to cover epp foam wings with 3mil laminate.
Laminating film seems like a good idea. Over on the Zephyr II forum, BCSaltchucker says this about the Zii covering:
I found this roll of 1.5mil:http://www.binding101.com/25x250-school-film.html
Wow you make it look so easy nice work! 3m carbon fiber laminate or vinyl if you can afford it or cheaper would be hear shrink plastic, plastic dip . if you can hotwire a wing out of fome you can cover it in fiber glass not hard lots of how 2 on YouTube look @ carbonfiber how . I am not sour if robber spray would melt the fome.
Hi, this is something that Hunter Parris recommended. Never tried it my self but the videos give quite good impression about the material. Can be "painted".

A Yuma Sun article ("Charges being added to APS electricity bills," Feb. 5) said that APS needed to raise their prices in order to cover fixed costs like infrastructure and power poles.
I think we need to look deeper into the real reason APS is raising its rates. There are other factors besides the fact that we aren't buying enough power to maintain their infrastructure.
One factor is that the APS consumers are funding solar energy projects all over the state. APS gives $2,400 to $7,000 rebates to every person who installs a solar energy unit. They have to raise our rates in order to fund the generous rebates. Does it make sense that those of us who are struggling to pay our power bills are expected to pick up the tab for generous rebates to people who are wealthy enough to afford solar panels?
APS is also raising our rates in order to fund the huge megawatt renewable energy power plants they are building all over the state. That's pretty expensive infrastructure and somebody has to pay for it. Supposedly we'll reap the benefits somewhere down the road, but I am not counting on it.
It's another example of how government doesn't solve problems; it creates problems. In 2010, the Arizona Corporation Commission passed rules requiring utilities to cut their customers' annual energy use by at least 22 percent by 2020. The federal government mandated green energy initiatives.
You will notice that the Wellton-Mohawk Irrigation District power costs are about 60 percent of what ours are. They are not members of the corporation commission. They are run by a local board of directors, so they are not bound by the demand to build expensive renewable energy plants. Their customers pay for the energy they use.
We have to pay for the energy we use and a little more for the cost of building plants like the 100-acre, 15-megawatt solar plant located at Luke Air Force Base. It will be a couple of generations before the plants begin to pay for themselves and by then they'll be broken-down eyesores just like the hay-bale drying plant on the north side of Highway 8 that was obsolete before it dried one bale.

In this era of uncertainty, finance professionals need to be up to date and prepared for the challenges ahead. This Executive MS program teaches modern finance theory, applications, and analytical skills, providing professionals with the tools needed to cope effectively with today's changing market, and students learn real world financial and investment decision-making under different market conditions.

This practical degree is ideal for professionals interested in upgrading their technical finance skills or for those with strong quantitative backgrounds seeking to change careers.
The Program Environment
This exceptional educational experience is designed to produce highly effective performers in today's fast-changing world of finance. Program learning is enhanced by small class size and an emphasis on group work, enabling a student to work closely with faculty and peers rich in professional experience.

The Silk Road of China (ACSR)
Geographically and culturally, Northwest China is about as far away from "traditional China" as you can get without crossing the border. The source of the Silk Road—the ancient trade route that helped create the modern world—is unlike anything you'll find in Beijing or Xi'an, and this 17-day adventure takes you deep into the China few ever see. Otherworldly experiences abound: watch the sun rise over the dunes outside Dunhuang, explore the world of the Muslim Uyghurs, spend the night in traditional yurts near Urumqi, and venture into the Taklamakan Desert to Kashgar. There's more, of course, but we've got to keep a few secrets, right?
Highlights: Walk along two sections of the Great Wall, stare down the Terracotta Warriors, ride a camel through sand dunes, learn about the Uyghur culture, stay in a traditional Kazakh yurt, bargain at Kashgar's Sunday bazaar
Indonesia Java, Bali & Lombok (AEJL)
Yeah, we've seen you perusing the Bali, Lombok and Java trips and thinking, "Why don't they just put all three of them together?" Here you go: All the natural splendour, bustling cities, remote villages and exotic wildlife of Indonesia's most popular territories in one convenient, 22-day bundle. Explore the volcanoes of Yogyakarta, endless rainforests, the rugged and untouched beauty of Lombok, bustling Jakarta and blissful Sanur's white sand beaches. The adventure of a lifetime is out there. Sometimes, all you have to do is ask.
Highlights: Visit the tobacco plantations of Tetebatu in Lombok, snorkel vibrant reefs and dig your feet into white sand, explore Hindu temples in Bali and Buddhist sanctuaries in Java, lay eyes on active volcanoes
Backroads of Central America (CRSG)
Take the road less travelled through Central America with other travellers your own age—so you can be sure to get down with other adventurers that'll keep up. This is one of our most exciting trips, filled with breathtaking scenery—from tropical rainforests alive with jungle melodies to colonial cities bouncing to a decidedly more human beat. You'll blaze your own path as you discover a region of volcanoes, craters, beaches and lush forests. Sticking to budget accommodation and public transport will keep costs down and you rooted in local life.
Highlights: Connect with your hosts in an Ometepe homestay experience, laugh with the locals during a chicken bus journey, bliss out on a remote stretch of Nicaraguan beach, stroll through Antigua's colonial streets, explore Mayan ruins, sample regional specialties like El Salvador's pupusas.
Egypt and Jordan Explorer (DPEX)
There's something indefinitely alluring about the mysteries of ancient Egypt.

With internal flights taken care of and comfortable accommodations awaiting you every night, you can sit back and focus on the wonders in the desert.
Highlights: Marvell at ancient Egyptian temples and ruins, savour a traditional dinner in a local family's home, visit a Planeterra-supported library project, explore ancient Petra with a local expert, overnight in a desert camp and learn about the ancient Bedouin culture

I went back and reviewed that post. M-Wolverine made just a couple posts (at least ones that were left up.) One compared Brandon Brown to RDT.

He ought to have known better than that, given Brian's contempt for Dave Brandon. Two straws that apparently broke the camel's back. |

In my last diary, I mentioned that I was too cheap to contribute to beveled guilt, so I kept posting diaries to generate clicks. Last year, I was getting about 2000 views per diary. This year, it's down to ~400. I'm hoping that something has changed about how views get counted, and you all haven't just gotten tired of my schtick. Anyway, I did the calculation awhile back to see how much revenue I might be adding to MGoBlog. Ad rates vary, but I went with a conservative estimate of $20 per 1000 impressions (CPM.) For 2000 views a week, and 12 games a season, that's $480. So I figured I've done my part to keep the blog solvent. Plus, I probably view 100's of pages every day and generate lots of ad revenue that way. Someone earlier mentioned Sullivan's blog. I don't think that would work here because Sullivan has a national audience and a rather large subject area to cover. He puts up dozens of posts everyday. Of course, his stuff is mostly commentary about other news items. There is not as much original material over there as there is here. But this is a niche market compared to his. He's charging $20 a year. I think that's a nice starting point for a beveled guilt donation, or as it's holiday time, just tip Brian and the guys what you give your mail man / garbage man* / barber / doorman, etc. *I give tips to the bottled water delivery guy and the newspaper guy, but only because they leave envelopes for me to do so. I've never tipped the garbage man because I never get to see them, but I've heard other people do. |
1 week 1 day ago | MSU |
MSU lost to ND, who is receiving enough votes to be considered #28 in the AP. They won at Iowa, who would be #30, and beat Minnesota who also received votes. That's it, the highlight of their 11-1 record is a road win over #30 Iowa. Ohio State hasn't really beat anybody either, except #21 Wisconsin at home. It's basically a sham. |
1 week 3 days ago | Easily? |
We should be favored in 9 of the 12 games. If we can pull off an upset and avoid one, we're looking at 10-2. What fourth games are we going to lose easily? (I'm assuming you think we will easily lose at MSU/ND/OSU) |
1 week 3 days ago | 2015 is the year |
I don't think sticking Devin with a new coordinator in year 5 is a good idea. Let's look at his history: Year 1: QB under Rich Rod and Magee Year 2: first year under Borges, doesn't look ready for prime-time in his few apperances Year 3: starts season as WR, transitions back to QB late Year 4: first full season as starting QB And people want to stick him with a new OC/QB coach next year? If it doesn't work next year, then you bring in a new OC and let him work with Shane or whoever during the spring and fall. |

In Brandon's blog post last week, he mentioned the seniors Lloyd Carr recruited that were on the 2011 Sugar Bowl winning team, but didn't mention Rich Rod, or his seniors. |
1 week 3 days ago | 2 good games? |
It doesn't fit your narrative, but you've got to give a little credit to him for scoring 59 points against CMU. He definitely called a good game versus ND. I think it was either Akron or UConn where Gardner started with a bunch of turnovers, and Al modified the gameplan to work around that. He built his confidence up slowly, just enough to get a win with a -3 or -4 TO margin. Putting up 42 points against Minnesota is a good result. Minnesota has played a lot of low scoring games (both teams) this year. Indiana was a record setting day - good game Borges and all around. And Ohio State was a good game. So that's at least 6 good games. I think he biffed the Penn State and Nebraska games. The other four were meh. I don't think it's as dire as some people would have us believe. |
1 week 4 days ago | Good point |
You make a good point. Rocky didn't play defense either, unless you count getting hit in the face repeatedly to be defense. The movie had better music than that stuff Special K plays. |
1 week 4 days ago | Very early 2014 prediction |
I predicted the Michigan-Iowa game would be 21-21, and Ohio-Michigan would be 42-7, so you can be sure that half of this prediction will be accurate. Aug. 30 APPALACHIAN STATE - Win, because if not, holy hell are we in trouble Sept. 6 at Notre Dame - toss up, but with a 5th year senior at QB, we have a shot. I'll go with a win in the last match-up. Serves them right for cancelling the series. Don't mess with karma ND. Sept. 13 MIAMI (Ohio) - Win because obviously Sept. 20 UTAH - at Utah would be trouble, but this is at home, win. Sept. 27 MINNESOTA* - They played better this year, but apparently we own them. Win. Oct. 4 at Rutgers* - May be very similar to UConn this year, but Rutgers is better than UConn. I expect we'll welcome them to the B14 in style. Win. Oct. 11 PENN STATE* - A sophomore Hackenburg presents more problems, but again, home field advantage is huge. Win. Oct. 25 at Michigan State* - They suffer some personnel losses on defense. We have got to turn around the narrative of this series. Win, but only out of necessity, and I'm not sure that's a valid reason. Nov. 1 INDIANA* (HC) - Homecoming vs. Indiana? That's another win. I thought this schedule was supposed to be tough, yet I have us at 9-0 so far. The eternal optimist returns. Nov. 8 at Northwestern* - they were 1-7 in BIG play this year. Win. Nov. 22 MARYLAND* - Seriously? Win. Nov. 29 at Ohio State* - Toss-up. I guess it depends on how many of them turn pro. Let's say with O-line losses and early entries, they're playing a lot of young kids and making mistakes that we made this year. Win. So it's on to the B1G championship game against... Wisconsin. Let's win that too, while we're at it. In reality, we're probably looking at losing 2 of @ND, @MSU, @OSU, and getting upset once at home. I'd be happy with 9-3 after 8-4 and 7-5 seasons. |
1 week 4 days ago | The formation |
I think that's where you (you being Borges in this example) can outthink yourself. So Ohio calls timeout after they see the formation. Do they prepare for the Dileo pass that we've seen dozens of times this year on critical plays? But maybe, they think there's no way we'd be stupid enough to run that play after we've shown them the formation, so maybe we'll do something different, so they don't prepare for Dileo. I don't know. I wish we had a healthy Gardner to run something, or a running game we could trust. |
1 week 4 days ago | Sorry, it's not on the list |
I like watching good defense and winning, so no, I don't care for yesterday's game. [EDIT: sorry, can't put aside my fandom either] |

The Day After the web black out as a strike against SOPA
The Justice Department has indicted seven individuals and two companies behind the popular file-sharing website megaupload.com, which has been touted by stars will.i.am, Kim Kardashian and Diddy, and, according to reports, has hip-hop producer Swizz Beats as its CEO.
The indictment alleged that megaupload.com and a shell company associated with the website, Vestor Limited, caused an estimated half-billion dollars in copyright losses and made an estimated $175 million in proceeds. The website was established in 2005 and at one point ranked as the 13th most-visited website on the Internet.
An hour after the indictment was announced, the Justice Department's website, www.justice.gov, came under cyberattack. Anonymous, the hacktivist computer group, claimed responsibility.

NT December 4, 2013 at 07:44 am
I'm all for development. I like shopping, and dining and coffee shops and going to the movies while…Read More riding the train as much as the next person. I'd love to have something around downtown that stays open past 6:00pm that would actually have the appeal to make downtown a destination and generate some revenue for the city. And (although I know the comment was not directed at me) I am certainly not moving to some trailer park, high desert town full of the white trash and gang bangers that couldn't afford the rent in town... that's exactly who I don't want as neighbors. Which is precisely why I have a little apprehension that a massive apartment complex including 75 Section-8 units 2 blocks south of the Village is the best type of development for our city. But considering the grading began a couple weeks ago, worrying about it now is probably moot. I do have hopes that the "mixed use" will include a more interesting "mix" than the condos on Vermont just north of Foothill for instance. An Allstate Insurance and dentist office are not exactly the urban chic I would imagine as my downstairs neighbor.
Terry December 4, 2013 at 08:28 am
NT, the city didn't approve more commercial spaces because it thinks there are too many commercial…Read More vacancies in the area. The thing is that these units are likely vacant for a number of reasons (undesirable location, high rent, neighbors, etc.) If they won't allow new ones, that doesn't mean the exist vacant units will be filled. Many businesses don't want to be situated in a strip mall (R66 corridor) or be tucked away in some unseen corner (Vermont Ave condos). These businesses will just take their money and jobs elsewhere. That cool coffee shop or trendy restaurant you want isn't going to happen next to Ace Hardware or Liberty Tax.
Grog December 4, 2013 at 10:56 am
I agree with Larry. The City Council, Mayor, and Police Chief do not give a rip about it's citizens…Read More needs or desires. EX. I asked the mayor a year ago to pave Valley Center Dr. between Gladstone and Arrow and he replied that he forwarded the request to the appropriate dept. Now a year later no paving while other streets are. EX 2 I had a problem with a teen trepassing and vandalizing my property(townhome). Called the police, mayor, and city council. They did nothing! The police chief says he had to pass it to the city attorney for analysis...That's right, it fell into another black hole! This is why Glendoran's hate their city council and police chief. These folks only represent the rich north side and business. I asked the chief if a teen came into a store and refused to leave after being asked by the owner, would the police render help or not. I got no reply.

Zak, please let us know when and where to go for the next city council meeting.
Bret Burnett November 29, 2013 at 03:29 am
Let me just say, growing up in Glendora was a good for most people. Not just because of the…Read More location, or the history, or the great education. Mark made everyone feel like they belonged. Even if you were not from here, you felt as if you were a part of Glendora's family. Nobody else that "deserved" that honor ever made me feel welcomed unconditionally, and doubt they had as much of a social impact as mark did. The Community Services Commission should be ashamed of their obvious lack of knowledge regarding what is worth honoring and what is not. They should however feel lucky that they are not in an elected position since it would probably be their last term. Where is your honor?
Paul Garcia November 22, 2013 at 01:12 pm
Not surprised by the decision although it's dissapointing. He definately had an emotional impact on…Read More many residents of Glendora. I believe that honoring Mark with this plaque would actually bring more prestige to this award.

Athens gives great service and the city did the right thing.

People like Brubaker and his pal Smith never have a positive thing to say about the city and their comments can be tossed aside, they don't matter and never will. Harrold pops up now and makes accusations but does he offer any proof? Of course not, and the voters have let he and his pals know time and again what we think of them and their brand of politics but guess it just hasn't sunk in. Keep grasping at straws John because that's about all you can do isn't it?
Tina Gonzales November 20, 2013 at 07:03 am
It seems Athens has been doing an adequate job for the City. But knowing the City is entertaining…Read More other offers would/should encourage Athens to continue doing or even improve on their performance, and it may even keep them from increasing rates, knowing there are other offers.

WALLDORF, Germany, Oct. 10, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- SAP AG (NYSE: SAP) today announced that Chartis Research has positioned the company as a "Category Leader" in two recent reports, "Data Management and BI for Risk" and "Basel III Technology Solutions." The rankings were based on Chartis' evaluations of data and risk management, predictive analytics, data mining and reporting capabilities for banks within the SAP HANA® platform.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110126/AQ34470LOGO)
"As we continue to expand SAP's global footprint, we have found our banking customers dealing with an unprecedented amount of risk and regulatory requirements," said Falk Rieker, global head, Industry Business Unit Banking, SAP. "The results of the Chartis reports reflect our commitment to providing customers a comprehensive, enterprise view of risk. SAP solutions for Basel III, data management and business intelligence complement our overall strategy of building in-memory solutions with a data model that supports different aspects of finance, risk and compliance to provide real-time, consistent calculations."
Chartis Research is dedicated to analyzing the systems, products, vendors, applications and trends in the risk technology marketplace. In the "Data Management and BI for Risk" report, Chartis examined 16 technology vendors' risk management solutions and noted SAP's experience with risk and finance integration as a key differentiator. Data management and business intelligence solutions (BI) from SAP are built on SAP HANA and consist of three layers to support an integrated architecture with in-memory technology for real-time processing.
Chartis also considered 19 vendors for the "Basel III Technology Solutions" report, and highlighted the SAP platform, which leverages SAP HANA to provide enterprise-wide risk reporting designed to meet the Basel Committee's principles. SAP software for Basel III enables reports on market risk, credit risk, operational risk, liquidity risk, capital definition and risk-adjusted return on capital.
The reports use Chartis' RiskTech Quadrant™ to explain the market structure, which employs a methodology of in-depth independent research and a clear scoring system to explain which solutions would be best for buyers depending on their implementation strategies.

Reviews for Company Mac and Cheese(25)
Sort By :
I made this last night for dinner with a rotisserie chicken and it was awesome. I questioned the cream cheese at first because I had never thought about adding that to Mac and cheese but it made it so creamy!!! Next time I may add a little more cheddar cheese than the recipe calls for to give it a bigger cheesy flavor! I am already planning on making this again for a Christmas party this weekend, can't wait!!!!
Delicious! I added garlic powder and used panko instead of break crumbs. Knocked everybody's socks off!
Your review is terrible. You simply have no right to lower a rating when you didn?t even use the ingredients required. The mustard adds the ?flavor? you said was missing and doesn?t taste like mustard at all when combined with everything else. People like you should be banned from commenting or rating things.
Excellent!! This is the best Mac & Cheese recipe I've ever had. Don't change a thing, it's absolutely delicious...
Excellent! Seemed just a bit salty to me; not sure why; maybe I used too much salt in my pasta water; would not use any next time. And it has a lot of bread crumbs, could probably cut back on that a bit. Very good!! And easy.
Very good. I didn't use the mustard because I didn't think I would like the taste. I will def make again. Hard to go wrong with cream cheese, in my eyes.

Does your dog give you a sad look when you hitch up the boat, and leave him home in the crate? If he's like my golden retriever Copper, his head hangs low and his tail stops wagging. Fortunately, dogs and boats go together quite well—as long as you know the ins and outs of having a pup aboard.
IN – Carpet remnants. Take one about five feet long and three or four feet wide, and lay it in the cockpit so the dog has a place to stand. Many breeds have trouble getting a firm paw on fiberglass decks, and their claws make them skid and slide every time the boat takes a wake. With the carpet remnant on-deck, however, they'll have a firm footing.
OUT – Baited hooks or lures, left swinging from the rod tips. Most pooches will see these as yummy toys, and could get a mouthful of trouble. Be very, very careful to de-bait and secure all hooks and lures, every moment they're not in use. And don't leave extra bait sitting un-guarded on the cutting board, unless you want to give the dog an extra-special snack.
IN – Treats, and lots of them. On a boat, you have to be able to control the situation at all times. If a large wave is coming, a storm is brewing, or a mechanical issue arrives, you have to know that you can control the dog in a heartbeat. As most canine owners already know, a sure-fire way to accomplish this is to have some of the dog's favorite treats with you at all times, so you can grab his attention and hold it, at any time. If your dog is so amazingly well trained this isn't a worry, of course, you can leave the treats at home (and, how much do you want for him?)
OUT – Leashes, once you're off the dock. The dog will be curious, especially at first, and he'll want to look over the side and stand as high as possible on the deck. But it's extremely rare that a dog will actually take a flying leap. At least, it is for most dogs—some poorly-trained duck hunting dogs may break at the sight of a paddling mallard. But in both cases trying to tie the dog down often does more harm than good.
IN – A well-filled water dish. On freshwater lakes, this is no big deal. But the saltwater environment dehydrates humans, much less dogs. On any saltwater body, make sure you have plenty of the fresh stuff and a dish to serve it up.
OUT – A sad pooch, left at home in the crate.

It seems that while XFX does some ipressive OC that is only holds true for an xxx version, not an XT one =( , and Asus kicks some major ass overall . So now I'm really tempted to get an Asus Card....
I compared results from benchmarks on the net... I looked at the test system specs and most were similar or better than mine... Its quite suprising...
Such a comparison is never, ever valid. Multitude of reviews where HD4890 is compared to HD4870 show HD4890 is atleast 10% and upto 30% faster than HD4870 depending on scenario.
you can just use voltage factory plug in for rivatuner,so get the cheapest. i have the asus model and it clocks well with the fan up 100%
i'm sry purecain i just took the card out last night and did not see your post asking till today i knew i should have just dumped the bios when i first got it
my ek water block arrived... wooooo! 26C idle, 42C full load @ 1000 core/1150 mem, 1.42 volts and running furmark stress test gonna write a review of this thing of beauty
very nice mandalore, that's 4,600mhz on the memory now isn't it? dam hope that baby doesn't die too soon
ohh ,that's great overclock on stock voltage , i like the memory overclock and see the bandwidth rise up cuz that's what the ATI card need , im think go pick up one like yours and crossfire it with my 4870 1G
Purchased a Asus 4890 - 1Ghz Core 4600 Memory This card is great, sold my Asus 4870 DK and purchased the EAH4890 voltage tweak. I wanted 1ghz core and did with no problems. Also hit 1150 (4600) memory speed. Core V set to 1.375 Ran Crysis warhead and Farcry2 at max settings with both set to 8X AA. My OC'ed Asus 4870 DK (825 Core/4000 Mem.)was not fast enough to run 8X AA. This beast will eat through 8X AA period. Ran Farcry2 included benchmark program with the above indicated settings and got a 35.5 FPS average. Purchased from ewiz for 224.99 after the 20.00 instant rebate they had last week. Great overclocker. People are getting core speeds over 1ghz using rivatuner. Someone hit 1025Mhz core speed on air.
@cool mike... could you please use atiwinflash to save your bios and upload it here.... thankyou.... as of yet not one person has uploaded a working version of an asus 4890 bios... gpu-z only extracts 64kb of the bios... this card has gddr5 so the bios size should be 128kb.
hmm. It is not hard d/l ati winflash from the download section on this site. Extract and run as admin (make sure catalyst control centre is closed or it will not run) click on save rom image give it a name then compress it into a zip folder then upload it to here
I try flash asus bios on my HD4890, but asus SmartDoctor always say not found asus display card. My HD4890 only 950/1100.i try use rivatuner add Core Voltage, but run 3dmark say lose driver.
The way you are typing you are not making very much sense at all, if possible please check the grammar of your post.
I think he means that his card VPU recovers/stops responding even after using rivatuner to increase voltages for a more stable clock.
for 1 he doesn't specify Which 4890 he has, 2 I dont believe RivaTuner Supports the 4890 Currently or needs to be revised.
Agreed. It can adjust voltage though. http://www.guru3d.com/article/overclocking-the-radeon-hd-4890/2

Quote reblogged from Man Down with 173 notes
Men in sleep aren't boys, but aren't
exactly men, either— they soften,
revert to animal,
curled-up beast […]
Not without violence, even now,
your hands clasp when brushed,
or seek out my haunch, my wrist, and hold
for a time, release with a soft grunt, affirm
that I'm here, or someone is.
From "The Merchant of the Picaresque," a poem in Fair Copy by Rebecca Hazelton, reviewed at The Rumpus by Tory Adkisson. (via therumpus)
It's weird to have a ~thing~ for guys when they are asleep, right?
(via whatwhatwhat)
I swear to you my boyfriend morphs into a baby bear cub when he is asleep and it just absolutely slays me.

A 36-year-old mason, Samuel Kwadwo Dankwah, has allegedly killed two of his step-children, following a misunderstanding between him and his wife over housekeeping money. The suspect allegedly dumped the bodies of Evans Kwame Abban, seven, and Dorothy Maame Ama Abban, four, in the bush and absconded with his own child, Michael Owusu, two.
Although the incident occurred on June 22, 2012, it was not until June 26 and June 29, 2012 that the bodies of Evans and Dorothy were retrieved from the bush at New Bortianor.
Briefing the Daily Graphic on the incident, the Accra Regional Police Public Affairs Officer, Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Freeman Tettey, said the mother of the deceased children, Obaa Yaa, 30, who was co-habitating with Dankwah, allegedly left the children to visit her father after a misunderstanding over housekeeping money on June 20, 2012.
Giving a background to the misunderstanding, Obaa Yaa told the Daily Graphic that Dankwah gave her GH¢7 as housekeeping money for the day. She said she told him it was inadequate and demanded more, but Dankwah ignored her and left for work. She said upon his return that evening, Dankwah demanded dinner but she told him she could not prepare dinner because she and the children spent GH¢4 on breakfast and lunch and, therefore, what was left was inadequate to prepare dinner.
According to her, the next morning, she demanded housekeeping money when Dankwah was leaving for work but he assaulted her and asked her to use the remaining GH¢3 to buy food items to prepare meals for the day.
She said Dankwah then entered the room, brought out a machete and threatened to butcher her. She then ran out of the house and only returned after Dankwah had left for work. 1 According to Obaa Yaa, her father, Mr Kweku Abeku, coincidentally called her on her cell phone and demanded to see her urgently at Kaneshie for a discussion.
She said when she met him, the father complained about Dankwah's failure to perform the marriage rites, after staying with her for four years. She claimed she then told her father about the misunderstanding over housekeeping money and the resultant fisticuffs between her and her partner.
Apparently worried about the development, the father asked her to follow him to Bawjiase, where he lived, and promised to invite Dankwah over for the issue to be discussed. According to her, after staying for some few days, she decided to go back to check on the children, only to be told that their bodies had been sent to the mortuary.
Throwing more light on the incident, DSP Tettey said Obaa Yaa brought her three children, identified as Akwasi Eric, nine, Evans and Dorothy, all from a previous relationship, to live with Dankwah. Obaa Yaa and Dankwah later had a fourth child, Michael Owusu.
According to him, Obaa Yaa allegedly left the house with the reason that her father had invited her to come over for an urgent discussion.
Mr Tettey said about 4 a.m. on June 22, 2012, when Eric woke up to attend the call of nature, he discovered that his sister, Dorothy, was not in bed and suspected that she might have gone to sleep with their step father (Dankwah). He said when he (Eric) woke up to sweep the compound about 6:30 a.m., he detected that Evans too was not on the bed, although Michael was still lying in bed.
Mr Tettey said when Eric asked his stepfather about the whereabouts of Evans and Dorothy, the father claimed that the two children had gone to visit their grandmother who lived at another suburb of New Bortianor. He said Eric, however, decided to visit the grandmother after sweeping to confirm if his siblings were there.
Unfortunately, he said, the grandmother denied that the children had been there. Based upon that, Eric and the grandmother decided to go and question Dankwah about the whereabouts of the two children. Mr Tettey said when Eric and the grandmother got to the house, Dankwah and Michael were nowhere to be found.
According to him, a farmer saw Evan's body strangulated with a shirt in the bush on June 26 and immediately raised an alarm. He said the police were duly notified and the body was taken to the Police Hospital mortuary. Mr Tettey said Dorothy's decomposed body was also discovered in the bush on June 29, 2012 and was also taken to the morgue.

By Ken Stephens - The Hutchinson News - firstname.lastname@example.com
Reno County Commission Chairman James Schlickau wants to see a better cost estimate for adding bicycle lanes to Old K-61 highway between 43rd Avenue and Medora before deciding which way he'll cast what could be the deciding vote on whether the county should apply for a grant that could cover 80 percent of the construction costs.The Kansas Department of Transportation turned over responsibility for maintenance of Old K-61 after the new four-lane highway was completed this year. With the speed limit lowered from 65 to 55 mph and traffic greatly reduced on Old K-61, the commission first discussed the possibility of adding bike lanes a couple of months ago. Initially the thought was that they could simply restripe the roadway to designate bike lanes on the existing pavement.
However, engineer Sid Arpin of BG Consultants advised the commission Tuesday that the existing roadway wasn't wide enough for two lanes of traffic and two bicycle lanes at the recommended 5-foot width for each. Striping bicycle lanes would convey to riders that they were in a protected lane, but the county would expose itself to possible litigation if there was an accident, such as a rider being blown off a bicycle by a truck, because the roadway was too narrow.
Instead he reviewed a 2008 feasibility study that explored two options - one involved widening the pavement by two feet on each side of the road to accommodate a bicycle lane on each side, and the other involved construction of a single 10-foot-wide bicycle path not connected to the road but still on the county right of way for the road.
The first plan would cost about $50,000 a mile, or about $250,000 for the approximately five miles from Medora to 43rd Avenue, where the city of Hutchinson's master plan calls for connecting a city trail to K-61. The second plan would cost about $185,000 a mile. The costs for both were estimated in 2008.
County Public Works Director David McComb said the county probably will do a new asphalt overlay on Old K-61 in 2014, and Arpin said that would be the perfect time to widen the road for bicycle lanes because with a construction crew already at work on the overlay, economies of scale could reduce the cost.
There was no discussion of the second option, but even the cheaper first option drew strong opposition from Commissioner Brad Dillon.
The county has until mid-February to apply for a Transportation Enhancement Grant from the Kansas Department of Transportation. That grant could pay for about 80 percent of the project. But that would still leave the county on the hook for about $50,000 in construction costs plus the cost of design and engineering work.
"That's a long way from where I thought we were going," Dillon said. "I know people like to ride bikes. But (Old) K-61 is a nice place to ride without spending anything. These costs set me back.
"... I don't understand why it's so important that we have bike lanes on this road. It's not travelled much with cars now," he said. "It's already being used by bikes. And especially if we're going to do an overlay, it will be a nice place to ride and we don't have to do anything. I don't support any of this. There are too many other things I want to accomplish with public money and bike lanes aren't on my list."
After asking a question about simply restriping the existing roadway, Deming, who has advocated doing something to make Old K-61 more amenable to biking from the beginning, argued that when the county does the overlay in 2014 would be the ideal time to take advantage of state funding and begin building the bicycle lane connection between the Dillon Nature Center and Sand Hills State Park proposed in the 2008 feasibility study.
Schlickau said he didn't want to simply add bicycle lanes by restriping the existing roadway. To his mind, that left two options - do nothing or try to get a state grant to cover most of the cost of widening the road. Before he makes up his mind, however, he wants to know more and he asked Arpin to get back to the commission with a firmer estimate of the cost.
Arpin told the commission that the mileage would be less than his rough estimate of 5 miles because the existing pavement is wide in Medora and Old K-61 wouldn't have to be widened in those places where other paved roads cross it.

I`m looking for A new videocard and i`ved noticed the 6950 poweredition from msi, a really nice card if you ask me!! But my buddy says get a 560 ti HAWK instead because it`l perfom better and will have a higher overclock, i still fancy the 6950, but with the games i play, crysis2 and bbc2, NV has better performance and then i even didn`t mention BF3....most of the time i play on 1080p. what should i do? my specs are: asrock 870extreme3 4Gb ddr3 1600 corsair dominator C8 phenom II x6 1100t@3,7 2xsamsung 1 terrabyte corsair TX650 powersupply Haf 922 thanks for the advice.. GRTZZ Don
depends is the 6950 a 2gb or 1gb version if its 2gb id take the 6950 as more and more DX11 titles come out 1gb vram dosent seem to be enough. so whatever but if its 1gb 6950 vs 1gb 560ti id take the 560
Tough one. In most games HD6950 is indeed faster and with some luck you can unlock it into HD6970. But 560Ti is faster in certain games that are favored by NVIDIA. I suggest you check out 6950 TPU review and see which are those games. It's a tough choice indeed. I was also thinking between these two but then decided for AMD again as i just somehow prefer it. Partly because of MLAA i guess and the way how drivers look, work and are updated.
its the 2gb version alright....but with games i play are almost all twimtbp...but i still fancy the 6950 poweredition somehow someone the releasing reason to buy the 6950 poweredtion? maybe the 2 gb are more futureproof..
I'm getting MSI 6950 2GB TwinFrozr III sometime next week (probably around wednesday). As for the games, at least for Crysis 2 i can tell you that it doesn't really matter. I was running it on HD5850 and it was running super smooth with everything maxed out. I do have slightly smaller res monitor but that probably wouldn't change much as Crysis 2 just isn't demanding at all.
no crysis isn`t, but maybe it will be after the dx11 patch? you never know where i`m most afraid of is BF3...
Nah. You shouldn't worry really. Both are high end cards and to make it easier for you to understand, HD6870 is twice as fast as your current HD5770. HD6950 is even faster than HD6870. So i wouldn't really worry about it. Because if that's your concern you really have to look at dual GPU or CrossfireX solutions which are, well, twice as expensive in most cases.
Alrighty then the hd6950 poweredition it`s going to be!! but was the 6870 not the answer from amd to the GTX460 or 560 non-ti? i mean the 6870 isnt as fast as the 6950 or the 560 ti so its not really to compare..
Yeah thats true but crossfire or dual gpu`s are not always working very well. so iv`e read in a few reviews.
That's the same reason why i prefer buying higher end single chip graphic card than buying 2x low end cards and crossfire them. They don't always work too well, there are often graphic anomalies, they produce more heat and they consume more power. I never had any problems with my single chip Radeon cards. Crossfire imo really makes sense when you get to a point when single chip solutions just aren't fast enough for your needs.
How do 2x5770 scale? like one 5870? (off-topic) I`ve just heard that i`ve become uncle!! my sister got a baeutifull baby-girl my day can not be ruined any more
I would go with the HD6950, AFAIK it's tessalation performance is comparable to the GF110/GF100 series silicones, GTX560 Ti is cut down GF110(lesser tessalation, DX11 performance)
I always haed SLi/Crossfire capable boards and i had thought of buying the same secondary gfx card but i always decided to just sell it and buy a new single chip gfx card. It just works better for me. Especially later on when you'll have to sell 2 cards which might be a problem sometimes (sometimes it takes ages to even sell 1 card).
i tought it was the other way around...that the geforce cards where better in tessalation.. or am i wrong here?
They have slight edge indeed. But after checking reviews only big one is in Unigine benchmark (couldn't care less) and few specific games. But still after looking at framerates, they were both still doing over 50fps so i'm perfectly fine with that.
You`re right if you look at the FPS it isn`t that much of a difference, so i`ll stick with the 6950, i`ve noticed that there aren`t much people that reccomend me to buy the 560 HAWK ti instead..at least not in this topic
the hawk is a good a card it overclocks well but if your gettinga 2gb 6950 theres no reason to recommend a 560ti, the extra vram is neccesary for DX11 titles at 1920x1080 or higher.
thats probably true but there`s a 560 ti out there also with 2gb vram only it doesnt have any performance increase, if i read the review`s right that is!
like crazyeye said, 2 gigs of vram is needed for games like BF3 at 1920x1080 and full detail with AA and AF.
they didnt test it on games or with settings that matter most current games in reviews wont max out the 1gb frame buffer but.. Oblivion with mods Fallout 3 with mods Fallout New Vegas with mods Metro 2033 Shogun II Grand Theft Auto 4 all use more then 1gb of vram, and that will become more common as newer games are released so short term no different long term there will be a difference good example look back at 4870 512mb crossfire vs 4870 1gb crossfire at 1920x1080 its an old example but since its power in DX9 is the same as a 5870 youll see a difference due to vram bottleneck. as i posted in another thread my settings in Oblivion brought my 5850 xfire setup down to 1fps average but 2x 470s managed 55fps avg due to the extra 200mb of vram headroom was just enough to cover my settings and ini tweaks. its something to keep in mind.

when will this show be offically realised??
ermm. i don't know, looks like it is still in the process of casting
which means it will be long timeOriginally Posted by Sugar
Given the elapsed time between the release of LOCH-TLBB-ROCH, my best guess is that the series will probably be released sometime in fall-winter of 2007, with SSWRB thrown somewhere in between.
By the way 0-0-0, is your avatar that of Jiang Xin? I sure wouldn't mind seeing her as one of WXB wives.
I say 2008...and HSDS will be in 2010Originally Posted by TrinketWei
Here's my picks for the 7 wives:
Shuang Er- Shu Chang
A Ke- Chen Zi Han
Mu Jian Ping- An Yi Xuan
Su Quan- Meng Guang Mei
Zeng Rou- Yang Mi
Fang Yi- Jiang Xin
Jiang Ning Gong Zhu- Hu Jing
Chen Zi Han is quite pretty but...I don't find her particularly stunning. However, she looks really good in the second picture that was posted, I do not know why....
I think Wang Lin who acted as Wei Zifu in Da Han Tian Zi I could also be cast among the wives. She is not stunning but very attractive in her own simple way in Da han.
I second any role with Jiang Xin in it Though I'm surprised noone mentioned Xu QingOriginally Posted by 0-0-0
I want Yang Rui in it as well. Yang Rui mentioned in an interview that she was looking forward to a role that actually has a happy ending with a male partner. Guess she was bummed by being casted as Zhong Ling and Lu Wushuang.

my picks are really spur of the moment, who i think of...
i wouldn't mind seeing Yang Rui again in DOMD either
the actresses i want to see most are Jiang Xin and Shu Chang
Latest news: DOMD will begin filming in July 2006. An audition will be held to pick the young WXB on the 31st of May. The criteria would be that the actor has to be about 14yrs of age, around 1.55m tall and has to look cheeky and adorable. A young actor will be used for two fifth of the series while an adult one will be used for the remaining series.
ZJZ also mentioned that DOMD will consist of 50episodes (hasn't he learned his lesson from ROCH yet?) and he is planning to cast newcomer Wang Qian in the role of Ah Ke. He finds her very suitable and says that she will become the next LYF.
DOMD will start filming in June/July and is scheduled for release in mid 2007. After that ZJZ is planning to film his last JY series which is HSDS. He will stop doing JY adaptations after HSDS, which he is bent on filming as it would serve as a closure to the condor trilogy (LOCH, ROCH and HSDS).

I don't see LYF as ZM at all.. and being ZZR.. hmm, i doubt she would take the 2nd lead role.
but anyways... 50 episodes? Wow.. don't expect to see this series in about 3 years .. they aren't even past picking roles yet
IMO...Best candidate for ZM would be Yang Mi. I have a feeling she'll get the part.

Increasing evidence suggests that mitochondrial abnormalities are involved in the development and progression of AD (reviewed in Reddy, 2009). Further, it has been proposed that mitochondrially generated free radicals and oxidative damage are involved in abnormal processing of APP and in generating Aβ peptide by activating β- and γ-secretases (Reddy, 2006; Reddy and Beal, 2008). There is some evidence to support this hypothesis (Tamagno et al., 2008; Jin et al., 2008). Further, recently several groups (Crouch et al., 2005; Caspersen et al., 2005; Manczak et al., 2006; Devi et al., 2006; Hanson Petersen et al., 2008) found that Aβ peptide is localized to mitochondrial membranes and the mitochondrial matrix, and that mitochondrially localized Aβ peptide interacts with mitochondrial proteins, induces free radical production, decreases cytochrome oxidase activity, inhibits ATP production, and damages AD neurons. In addition, recent structural studies revealed that Aβ fragments mitochondria, suggesting that mitochondrial structural abnormalities (caused by Aβ) may be critical for mitochondrial dysfunction in AD (Wang et al., 2009; Mao et al., 2009). Overall, these studies suggest that Aβ and mitochondrial dysfunction play a big role in AD pathogenesis.
To determine the role of overexpressed SOD2 in AD pathogenesis, Massaad et al. crossed SOD2 transgenic mice with Tg2576 mice and studied cognitive deficits, Aβ1-42 and 1-40 levels, and Aβ deposits in Tg2576 mice and double mutant mice (SOD2xTg2576 mice). They found decreased Aβ deposits and reduced cognitive deficits in double transgenic mice relative to Tg2576 mice, suggesting that mitochondrial superoxide dismutase improves cognitive functions in AD. However, it is still unclear 1) how overexpressed mitochondrial superoxide dismutase alters the ratio of Aβ1-42 to 1-40; and 2) how overexpressed mitochondrial superoxide dismutase improves learning and memory functions in double mutant mice. Further research is needed to find answers to these questions, and the answers may have some important implications to AD patients.
Overall, findings of the study by Massaad and colleagues, together with previous studies (Hirai et al., 2001; Swerdlow et al., 1997; Reddy et al., 2004; Manczak et al., 2004; Caspersen et al., 2005; Manczak et al., 2006; Devi et al., 2006; Hansson Petersen et al., 2008; Wang et al., 2009), improve our understanding of mitochondrial oxidative damage in AD pathogenesis. Given the limited success of recent clinical trials using natural antioxidants in AD patients, findings from this new study may have some important implications for the development of mitochondrially targeted therapeutics for AD patients.

I apologize if this topic has been covered. I searched and couldn't find an answer to our specific issue. We are total newbies. We are trying to create transparent backgrounds with a visible foreground image (brush) in Aura 2.7 that we can than use as overlays in VT5. It appears the background is transparent by default in Aura but when we try and use the graphic in the CG module or in a DDR the background is visible. We are trying to create over the shoulder graphics without a background and have floundered around for a couple of weeks. If someone could give us the answer or point to a step by step process online that would be great.
