Iterative Parametric Tables for Studio 4D
Local interior design firm Studio 4D contacted Demiurge to design and produce a series of 3 tables inspired by boulders. Demiurge took the opportunity to show off our parametric design and production capabilities.
Our designer began by working with Studio 4D to define a height and width for the tables, a bounding box within which each table would always fit. Using Grasshopper for Rhinoceros, we programmed a simulation which would alter a basic rectangular form by adding random facets at different points on the table. The design software was set to produce one table for every second the simulation was running, enabling us to produce as many iterations as were necessary to find visually appealing forms. The simulation was started and a series of well over 300 tables was generated to start with.
From these several hundred unique tables, we selected three sets of three tables to present to Studio 4D, and allowed their designers to select the set which was most appealing.
Following selection, we used the parametric script to unroll and label all of the parts for the tables, and used RhinoNest to create a sheet layout using custom nesting parameters that would enable us to efficiently shear the material. Parts were cut and stitch welded together to create a finished form.
Final welding completely joined the edges together after which the welds were chased and ground to a smooth finish. The piece was primed, sanded, and painted, then cured over a course of four hours to set the automotive quality enamel.

Demiurge hopes to demonstrate that the integration of fabrication constraints with the design phase of a project can yield exceptional results which surpass traditional analog design paradigms yet utilize a fraction of the resources and capital investment of cutting-edge digital fabrication. We hope to continue to develop and refine tools for translating digital information to analog processes in hopes of applying the precision of digital tools and methodologies to projects while retaining the flexibility and adaptability of traditional analog fabrication methods.

Not enough PKing for you? Try the player killing class war, available once per week for each character class. You can roll out your uber-character against your peers, in a same-class battle royal.
There are two methods to enter the PK map at the PK time of your class.
1. You will be teleported to a map by the system invitation where players cannot PK with each other, and then talk to the Class PK Escort to enter the real PK map;
2. You can find the Class PK Envoy (Twin City, 422,246) to enter the real PK map and enjoy the great fun of PK with other players of the same class.
NPCs: There are two NPCs that you need to know about.
i. Talk to Class PK Envoy and ask about the Class PK war. She can be found at (Twin City, 422 246).
ii. Wait till PK round is beginning. Don't worry if you miss the first PK War round because there are 2 rounds on Monday! Here are the times for the war:
Round 1: Afternoon 2pm, Monday (server time)
Note: You can only partake in either Round 1 or Round 2, if you participate in Round 1 at 2pm, then you can't sign up for Round 2 at 10pm, vice versa.
iii. Talk to the Envoy to enter the PK map 15 minutes before the contest starts. PK is fobidden before you have entered the PK map.
Note: All the classes will have the Class PK War at the same day, but they will be sent to different maps. That is, Water Taoists will fight Water Taoists while Fire Taoists will fight Fire Taoists.
4 groups in each round:
There will be a winner in each group!
iv. You will be teleported to a map where you must PK all the other contestants who entered the competition by Class PK Envoy (Class PK War Chief, Twin City 422 246). If you want to leave, just talk to the Class PK Escort.
v. Fight until the contest is over.
If you win the PK war nearly 3pm or 11pm, please hurry up to claim your reward, in case that you will be sent to Twin City without getting anything.

|The Game Story:
|CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA-Sophomore goalie Dave Law made a career-high 15
saves, including one with seven seconds left, to help lift Princeton to
an 8-7 win over Virginia in men's lacrosse action at Kl�ckner Stadium
this afternoon.
The loss is the Cavaliers' fourth in a row, their longest losing streak in 17 years as they fall to 1-4 this season. Princeton rebounds from last weekend's loss to top-ranked Johns Hopkins to improve to 2-1. The Cavaliers scored first on Kyle Dixon's fourth goal of the season less than three-and-a-half minutes in, but Princeton's Ryan Boyle forced the first of three first half ties with his seventh goal of the season with 7:00 remaining in the opening period. Virginia's leading scorer, Matt Ward, notched the first of his game-high three goals 91 seconds later, but Drew Casino and Jason Donegar scored in the final two minutes of the quarter to give the visiting Tigers their first lead at 3-2. Cavalier midfielder Mike Abbott tied the score for the third time in the game's first 17 minutes with his second goal of the season two minutes into the second quarter. But Casino and Whitney Hayes scored back-to-back goals as the Tigers built their first two-goal lead of the day midway through the second quarter. The teams traded goals just before halftime with the Tigers holding a 6-4 lead at the break. John Christmas returned to action after missing last week's game against Syracuse and scored his only goal of the afternoon early in the third period, but the Cavaliers were never able to get closer than one goal as the teams traded goals the rest of the way.
The Cavaliers had one last chance to tie the score following a turnover by Peter Trombino along the end line. UVa called timeout with 52 seconds left to set up the offense. The Cavaliers missed their first two shots, but backed up both times. Princeton called its final timeout with 14.2 seconds remaining. On the restart attackman Matt Ward worked free for a shot from the left side, but Law saved the low shot. The ball kicked around among a pile of players in front of the crease was called for goalie interference with 4.2 seconds on the clock. Tiger defenseman Oliver Barry threw the ball downfield as time expired as Princeton gained its first win in Charlottesville since 1994.
Virginia returns to action next Sunday (March 21) at Towson in a game scheduled to start at 1 pm.

Among Mitt Romney's closest advisers is failed Supreme Court nominee Robert Bork. Bork serves as the co-chair to Romney's "Judicial Advisory Committee" and offers a unique look into the kind of constitutional beliefs Romney holds dear.
So, just what kind of constitutional worldview is Romney embracing with his adviser Bork? For starters, Bork has described the federal ban on whites-only lunch counters as "unsurpassed ugliness" and believes contraception should be illegal. In fact, Bork is just fine with an outright criminal ban on sex all together.
It should come as no surprise then that Bork, and presumably Romney, believes the 14th Amendment's Equal Protection Clause should no longer apply to women. Why? Simple. Women make up a majority of students in college so clearly have conquered all societal discrimination.
I'd point out all the ways that Bork is wrong in that belief, including the need for the Lilly Ledbetter Act and the depressing census statistics that prove Bork wrong, but that would be a waste of time for someone who amounts to a legal has-been. Instead, I'm going to be grateful that Bork never made it onto the Court and remind anyone I can that the 2012 presidential elections are more about the Supreme Court than ever.
So, just how comfortable are you with Robert Bork making judicial recommendations to a President Romney?

Robert Bork is typical of the idiocy of the arrogant Republicans attitude towards women. The legislation and malevolent attitude towards women recently shown by Republican based politicians in trying to deny a women the right to choose for her body is just one example of how women are being discriminated against. If men were subjected to the same kinds of discrimination that women face every day, Bork and his ilk would be squealing from the rooftops of how life is so unfair.
Thanks for the article.
The supreme court is just one of many major issues for the 2012 election. The "Citizens United" decision is just one more knife in the back to each citizen by our highest court. Money has politicized and corrupted it for the wealthy; why can Thomas ignore the IRS and and ixhibit behavior that would get the ordinary man thrown into prison? For too many money has become their God and wealth and power their religion.
What a pathetic little boy advised by a more pathetic little boy. They both have their heads up their portholes. Pathetic little boys still wish women were chattel in this country, and still wish they had the power and authority to dispose of troublesome women in any way possible. I won't vote for this Book of Mormon thumper.
What would either of them know about women's experiences?
Thank you for those of you who sent me stars. I appreciate it.
Ladies, this is one situation that we all should unite upon and thank goodness for the men here who've voiced their opinions as to the truth of this ludicrous commentary by a little boy claiming to be a man. Since the rise of the Roman Church, women have been vilified, it was the only way they could vilify the Goddess and get away with it. From that point on they have tried to control women because they felt we had too much control over them. And I won't go so far as to say that wasn't true, we all know control freaks from both sexes, but the fact remains that control over women has gone on long enough as to be insulting and damaging to both sexes. When man and woman revere one another in terms of strength of character, ability to serve, and generosity of heart, then perhaps the wars will end. Until then, I find it very hard to see women in any subservient role that is not made freely, and I feel the same way when it comes to men. No one should have to live under those circumstances. We all have sons and daughters and it is our job to teach them to love and revere eachother - for their differences as well as their likeness'. Ignorance is no excuse for breaking the law - any attorney will tell you the same. There is only one Law - and that is Love - under - Will. So do what you will but be sure you do so with Love for to do otherwise is to break the law itself. Blessings upon my brothers and sisters
This guy is absolutely living in a parallel universe, along with the others in this repb campaign. Not one of them has said anything remotely sensible, and I am puzzled why people still don't see that? God, they do have the art of bullsh/t double-talk down though, don't they? I wish the media would press for details whenever I hear the phrase "failed policies" I'd like to know which 'policy' they are referring to? And how do they think it has failed, in what ways? But you know, that kind of questioning has to be relentless if we are ever to get an answer, no digressing, just the questions, until they accidentally answer it! Once the heat is on, they will eventually say something out of frustration, usually it's some form of truth until the next day, when they try to un-say it.
Well, women will definitely cast their frustrations against him.
Oh, THAT Bork! I thought Romney's adviser was Bjork, the Icelandic performance artist.

Anthropology, the study of both ancient and modern peoples, helps us to understand the full range of human diversity. Each of anthropology's four major fields (socio-cultural anthropology, biological anthropology, linguistics, and archaeology) shares the same goals - to understand what we are and how we came to be.
Anthropology is an interdisciplinary science that correlates closely with content standards for various subjects such as history (i.e, study of past peoples, American Indians), geography (i.e., environment and society, places and regions), social studies (i.e., culture, continuity, and change), and science (i.e., science as inquiry, evolution of human life). Incorporating some of these anthropological teaching materials and activities listed below can enhance the teaching of social studies and science courses - and the enjoyment of student learning, as well as the enjoyment of teaching.
We hope that you find these resources, most of which are on the Web, engaging, useful, and fun in your classrooms.

The quarter sawn oak Morris chair arrived yesterday with zero damage in shipping. I was blown away by the obvious "over the top" care that was taken in preparing the chair for shipping across country! I unpacked it immediately and placed it in my home, it's beautiful to look at and comfortable to sit in. I am a happy repeat customer who I know will be making additional purchases in the future.

"Thank you for the fantastic book case. We are very grateful to know that some dealers take the time to protect the items they ship. It was truly a pleasure purchasing from you." Thank You!
James & Rosemary from Panama City, Florida
We bought a table from Dennis in late 2010. About a year later, my daughter caused some damage to the table. Dennis thought she might have exacerbated a hairline crack. Dennis drove close to two hours to our house, examined the table, took it to a craftsman to be repaired, and paid for the repair himself. That is a level of service that one rarely sees these days. It is a delight to deal with someone who looks after the customer. I would not hesitate to recommend Antiques by Design.

Please try to get a server in the Costa Rica-Panama-Colombia region. Between us and Central America, Venezuela, Ecuador, Peru and the Caribbean we are a lot of players. The lowest ping I've ever had was 98 ms and I don't even know how cause regularly is 120-150 ms. Everywhere I play, people complaint about my ping.
For some reason, Chilean/Argentinean servers give me a lot more ping than others with the same distance (200-250 ms, while US servers give me 120-130 ms); it feels like European servers which are unplayable for me (although I find German servers playable for some reason). There's a vacuum between U.S. (or Mexico, I don't remember if they have servers) and Chile/Argentina.
Get a server in Panama or Colombia! I beg you.
With that said, that region is on the exact same situation Brazil has been for years: you have to reach id software with a proposal, meeting all the requirements (bandwidth, pc and so on. Remember on each location it's like 50 servers uploaded at the same time), willing to pay for all expenses, having some people responsible for that, the lot. They have not done that in 4 years but the only thing they do is complain and think someone is going to give them away money for free, when it has never ever done in quake (all the old school servers were community uploaded, not id) nor in fps games really.
So yeah. It has nothing to do with begging or asking id to upload servers. That initiative has to come from the community, like it has always been but with the added requirement of reaching the company in order to make those servers appear on the server browser.
For that what's needed is a community behind that in each location. If there are no proposals that means there's not a worthy community there but just a vocal minority that's spread all over the place (at least create fb groups).
edit: Here are two sites that show the amount of players of each country based on the in-game flags
First link (top100) shows all players from each country no matter if they have played duel or not. Second link shows the amount of players of countries that aren't listed in the top100 but has to be done manually (change the last 2 letters of the link, for example PR is puerto rico) and is mod specific, so it shows 41 players in panama and 43 in ca, again by changing the mod on the link ("duel" to "ca").
As you can see on both links, there are way too few players on your region, all countries included and even considering inactive players. This last bit is of the essence considering I checked the players from panama on the second link, duel only: Out of the 41 listed there I checked the top20 and there's literally one (1) player still playing the game rofl, casually the top1. Tough luck, but probably can still get a server accepted if someone there is willing to finance a server on his own like practically all not NA servers are.
More concretely, Chile and Argentina have servers because they pay for them, did all the necessary arrangements and have 10x more players than all the rest of southamerica combined, not counting brazil which does have the amount of players but have been lazy for 4 years straight and counting. The only thing they ever do is complaining and demanding free stuff no one gets in the world lol.
The new Argentina location is a paid location. For the record, we looked into, and certainly would like to provide one for Brazilian players, however dedicated servers are extremely expensive in that region compared to what we found in neighboring countries and the rest of the world.
Thank you very much for your reply Megaman3, that was enlightening; I thought Id arranged for the servers itself. I guess we are screw over here 'cause I know nothing about running a server and even if I could, my girlfriend would nailed my nuts to the wall if she finds out what it is for :S.
In that case, people please don't ask me to leave because of my ping anymore; since I can't do nothing about it, it would be the same as asking me not to play Quake Live altogether. Besides, is not that bad, if I can play, so should you, right?
Also, there's no way your girlfriend wouldn't find out about a hole of several thousands dollars in your yearly budget so you better forget that .
Finally, I have something to say about this topic and the kind of comments we find in these kinds of topics :
It's fine to complain about your favourite location disappearing. It's fine to tell that whichever replacement location proposed doesn't suit you well. But the whole "Omg I have 20 more ping now" or "id software is now dead to me" is getting old. On the other hand, "Omg stop complaining about servers" is annoying too. Such complaints can be valuable information. Just make sure you're respectful, people... a lot seem to have problems with that and it's sad.
Update: Argentina Location Paid but Laggy... :/ :\
I am French. I like QL but its my last pro account. Now only .de server with ping playable. No more :/

|Sep. 28, 20153:48 PM PT4:48 PM MT5:48 PM CT6:48 PM ET22:48 GMT6:48 AM 北京时间3:48 PM MST5:48 PM EST5:48 PM CT2:48 UAE (+1)18:48 ET21:48 - Peterson rushed for 126 yards and scored twice in Minnesota's win over San Diego.
Analysis: Peterson had a great follow-up to his 134-yard effort in Week 2 against Detroit and seems to have shaken off any rust from missing most of last season.
|Sep. 21, 20151:43 PM PT2:43 PM MT3:43 PM CT4:43 PM ET20:43 GMT4:43 AM 北京时间1:43 PM MST3:43 PM EST3:43 PM CT0:43 UAE (+1)16:43 ET19:43 - Peterson looked like his old self Sunday against Detroit, reeling off 134 yards on 29 carries, though he couldn't find the end zone.
Analysis: Peterson, who also caught two passes for 58 yards, showed that Week 1 was a fluke. He's an elite RB1 as long as Mike Zimmer and company continue to give him the rock.
|Sep. 15, 20159:37 PM PT10:37 PM MT11:37 PM CT12:37 AM ET4:37 GMT12:37 PM 北京时间9:37 PM MST11:37 PM EST11:37 PM CT8:37 UAE0:37 ET3:37 - Peterson ran 10 times for 31 yards playing his first game in more than a year following paid leave and then a suspension last year in the fallout from a child-abuse case against him in Texas.
Analysis: He had just four carries in the first half then doubled that total on the initial series after halftime.

Analysis: Peterson returns following paid leave and then a suspension last year in the fallout from a child-abuse case against him in Texas.
|July 25, 20153:47 PM PT4:47 PM MT5:47 PM CT6:47 PM ET22:47 GMT6:47 AM 北京时间3:47 PM MST5:47 PM EST5:47 PM CT2:47 UAE (+1)18:47 ET21:47 - Peterson has reported to Minnesota State University for Vikings training camp.
Analysis: Peterson was bothered enough by the public backlash against him last fall and what he felt was a lack of support from the non-football side of the organization that he first balked at resuming his stellar career in Minnesota. Ultimately, of course, the situation came down to cash. The Vikings pledged to rework Peterson's contract to give him the guaranteed money, meaning security for injury that his agent, Ben Dogra, was pushing for.
|July 21, 201510:08 AM PT11:08 AM MT12:08 PM CT1:08 PM ET17:08 GMT1:08 AM 北京时间10:08 AM MST12:08 PM EST12:08 PM CT21:08 UAE13:08 ET16:08 - Peterson and the Vikings have agreed to restructure the final three years of the running back's contract. The Vikings made the announced Tuesday, four days before players will report to training camp.
Analysis: Terms of the revamped deal weren't disclosed. In a statement distributed by the Vikings, Peterson said he appreciates their willingness to address his contract to provide him "additional security." Peterson's existing deal called for a $12.75 million salary this season, but neither of the two years beyond that was guaranteed.
|May 28, 20152:35 PM PT3:35 PM MT4:35 PM CT5:35 PM ET21:35 GMT5:35 AM 北京时间2:35 PM MST4:35 PM EST4:35 PM CT1:35 UAE (+1)17:35 ET20:35 - Peterson took to Twitter on Thursday to express his frustration over criticism he is receiving while staying away from the voluntary portion of the Minnesota Vikings offseason. Peterson has come under fire after saying he wanted a long-term commitment from the team after missing most of last season while addressing a child abuse charge. He has three years and $46 million left on his deal, but none of that is guaranteed.
Analysis: Peterson says he knows "hundreds of players" that wished the team would have honored their contracts as he is being asked to do. Coach Mike Zimmer said on Wednesday that Peterson has two choices: he can either play for the Vikings next season or not play at all.
|May 27, 201510:03 AM PT11:03 AM MT12:03 PM CT1:03 PM ET17:03 GMT1:03 AM 北京时间10:03 AM MST12:03 PM EST12:03 PM CT21:03 UAE13:03 ET16:03 - Minnesota Vikings coach Mike Zimmer says Adrian Peterson has two choices: He can either play for the Vikings or he cannot play at all.
Analysis: The star running back has missed the first two days of optional team practices and is not expected to attend any of the optional workouts this summer. He has been upset with the team for a perceived lack of support while he faced a child abuse charge last season and his representatives have said he should play elsewhere next season.
|May 24, 20157:10 PM PT8:10 PM MT9:10 PM CT10:10 PM ET2:10 GMT10:10 AM 北京时间7:10 PM MST9:10 PM EST9:10 PM CT6:10 UAE (+1)22:10 ET1:10 - A person with knowledge of the situation tells The Associated Press that Peterson has informed Minnesota Vikings coach Mike Zimmer that he will not be attending the team's optional practices that start on Tuesday. Peterson is not required to attend any team functions until a mandatory minicamp next month.
Analysis: Peterson has been unhappy with the Vikings for a perceived lack of support from within the organization while he addressed child abuse charges last season. The person spoke Sunday on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly on the issue. The Vikings have said they have no plans to trade Peterson, who could lose out on a $250,000 workout bonus by skipping the practices this week.
|Apr. 20, 20154:02 PM PT5:02 PM MT6:02 PM CT7:02 PM ET23:02 GMT7:02 AM 北京时间4:02 PM MST6:02 PM EST6:02 PM CT3:02 UAE (+1)19:02 ET22:02 - A person with knowledge Peterson's offseason workouts tells The Associated Press that star running back has decided not to attend Minnesota's spring strength and conditioning program. The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the situation on Monday, the first day Vikings players gathered at team headquarters for supervised workouts.
Analysis: Peterson's absence was expected, of course, given his expressed disinterest in returning to the organization. Even in a normal year, Peterson's presence during the offseason has been rare. He spent some time in Minnesota last year to get acclimated to coach Mike Zimmer's staff, but Peterson's preference has been to prepare with his personal trainer at home in the Houston area.
|Apr. 16, 201511:17 AM PT12:17 PM MT1:17 PM CT2:17 PM ET18:17 GMT2:17 AM 北京时间11:17 AM MST1:17 PM EST1:17 PM CT22:17 UAE14:17 ET17:17 - The NFL has reinstated Peterson, clearing the way for him to return after missing most of last season while facing child abuse charges in Texas.
Analysis: The league announced its decision on Thursday. Commissioner Roger Goodell sent Peterson a letter advising him of his reinstatement. Goodell wrote that Peterson will have to fulfill all the obligations of his plea deal with authorities after he reached a plea deal to reduce a felony charge to a misdemeanor.
|Mar. 20, 20151:09 PM PT2:09 PM MT3:09 PM CT4:09 PM ET20:09 GMT4:09 AM 北京时间1:09 PM MST3:09 PM EST2:09 PM CT0:09 UAE (+1)16:09 ET19:09 - Peterson will meet with the NFL on Tuesday to discuss his playing status.
Analysis: Peterson was suspended under the NFL's personal conduct policy through at least April 15 due to a child abuse case involving his young son, a decision he appealed. Commissioner Roger Goodell has said he planned to meet with Peterson before that date to determine his status.
|Mar. 10, 201511:29 AM PT12:29 PM MT1:29 PM CT2:29 PM ET18:29 GMT2:29 AM 北京时间11:29 AM MST1:29 PM EST12:29 PM CT22:29 UAE14:29 ET17:29 - Peterson and the Minnesota Vikings are still working on their relationship.
Analysis: Two people with knowledge of the visit, speaking Tuesday to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the situation, confirmed that Peterson met with Vikings owners Zygi Wilf and Mark Wilf and general manager Rick Spielman in the New York area. This was a sequel of sorts to a trip that Spielman and coach Mike Zimmer took last week to Peterson's home outside of Houston.
|Mar. 4, 20151:59 PM PT2:59 PM MT3:59 PM CT4:59 PM ET21:59 GMT5:59 AM 北京时间2:59 PM MST4:59 PM EST3:59 PM CT1:59 UAE (+1)16:59 ET20:59 - The Minnesota Vikings have made their in-person pitch to Adrian Peterson.
Analysis: General manager Rick Spielman and head coach Mike Zimmer spent about four hours Wednesday afternoon at Peterson's home north of Houston. Photographers captured Spielman and Zimmer leaving together, dressed in sport coats and blue jeans. This was the first time meeting they've had with Peterson since the star running back was placed on the exempt list in mid-September following his indictment in a child abuse case involving his 4-year-old son.
|Feb. 18, 20159:58 AM PT10:58 AM MT11:58 AM CT12:58 PM ET17:58 GMT1:58 AM 北京时间10:58 AM MST12:58 PM EST11:58 AM CT21:58 UAE12:58 ET15:58 - Minnesota Vikings general manager Rick Spielman says he expects Peterson to stay with the team this season.
Analysis: Several high-ranking Vikings officials have expressed their desire to bring Peterson back in recent weeks, and Spielman's comments to reporters at the NFL scouting combine in Indianapolis were the strongest yet. Spielman, however, declined to comment about whether or not the Vikings would ask Peterson to restructure his contract. His deal calls for a salary cap hit of $15.4 million in 2015.
|Feb. 6, 20153:20 PM PT4:20 PM MT5:20 PM CT6:20 PM ET23:20 GMT7:20 AM 北京时间4:20 PM MST6:20 PM EST5:20 PM CT3:20 UAE (+1)18:20 ET21:20 - The latest dispute between the NFL Players Association and the NFL over the league's personal conduct policy was aired Friday in federal court, as Adrian Peterson listened to arguments about his suspension that the union is trying to have overturned.
Analysis: It was more criticism of the disciplinary process that Peterson and the union have derided as arbitrary and unfair since punishment was levied by the NFL after the running back was charged in a child abuse case involving his son. He resolved the case with a plea bargain last year. Peterson and the union would prefer a ruling before March 10, when the league's free agency and trading period starts.
|Feb. 5, 201512:41 PM PT1:41 PM MT2:41 PM CT3:41 PM ET20:41 GMT4:41 AM 北京时间1:41 PM MST3:41 PM EST2:41 PM CT0:41 UAE (+1)15:41 ET18:41 - Peterson remains in NFL limbo and his union's latest attempt to restore his playing status will take place in federal court.
Analysis: Attorneys for the NFL Players Association are scheduled to argue Friday for the Minnesota Vikings running back's reinstatement from a suspension levied by the league under its personal conduct policy.

Obama on Cairo Speech: Just Kidding
10:27 AM, Jun 14, 2009 • By STEPHEN F. HAYES
"The administration will deal with the situation we have, not what we wish it to be."
That's what a senior Obama administration official told Mark Landler of The New York Times.
Of course there is a third, less passive, option. The president could seek to affect that situation. He is the most powerful man alive, after all, and a man whose transformative words, his supporters tell us, can change the world. His Cairo speech, we were told, was just the beginning.
In his passage on democracy, Obama started by saying that no form of government should imposed. He then positioned himself an unapologetic advocate of democratic governance. He spoke of: "Power through consent, not coercion;" a "commitment" to "governments that reflect the will of the people;" a pledge to "welcome all elected, peaceful governments - provided they govern with respect for all their people;" and an "unyielding belief that all people yearn for certain things: the ability to speak your mind and have a say in how you are governed; confidence in the rule of law and the equal administration of justice; government that is transparent and doesn't steal from the people; the freedom to live as you choose."
And yet in the face of what appears to be a plainly fraudulent election in Iran, the most his administration can muster is a flaccid statement from the press secretary praising the enthusiasm of those whose votes are being discarded and promising to monitor reports of "irregularities." (Hillary Clinton also offered a meaningless comment.)
The relative silence is disappointing enough. Worse, though, are the comments from administration officials in Landler's article pledging to engage Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's illegitimate government. Even if that's true, why talk about it at a moment when there is a chance -- fleeting though it might be -- to further delegitimize and destabilize that dangerous regime? If you are a student in Tehran or a reformer in Isfahan thinking about risking your life to join other protesters on the streets, why would you do it?
Administration officials talk about their belief in "smart power." But what good is "smart power" if you don't exercise it?

Folk song writer shares insight with students
EUGENE, Ore. -- A seasoned folk musician is speaking to students at the University of Oregon this week about the power of the English language.
Tom Neilson considers himself a musical journalist and his lyrics often reflect an air of political satire.
He credits his inspiration to growing up in the 1950's on an upstate New York dairy farm. Through the years Neilson's seen a lot of social changes, and it has always stayed imprinted in his memory.
"In the 60's, with the civil rights movement and the Vietnam War I was just drawn to speaking what I thought was my truth and singing what was socially relevant," says Neilson.
Neilson took the residency at the University of Oregon to share his talents with aspiring authors.
Although some may consider his music controversial, he says he will continue writing songs and hopes to give people a voice. Those interested in catching one of Neilson's live gigs around town can visit his website for more information.

|I thought this was a really fun route, probably worth three stars if not for the choss band (plenty solid) and the circuitous-wandering nature of the line. The bottom is definitely 5.8R, but that's significantly below the grade, so I think it's more of a PG-13 route, Jalape�o spicy. Tricky but good gear, a little spaced here and there. I found Loweballs to be very useful and inspiring in many of the thin cracks and flakes. Aaron's description sums it up well, I would probably not use the flexing, suspect KB on Easter Island next time as there is a good nut ~3' below and the single bolt is 6' directly L. of this pin causing some awkward drag with both clipped even with long slings. Definitely bring at least a half dozen shoulder slings. Exciting, technically sustained climbing past the bolt and out the notch. Well worth seeking out, pretty classic Eldo style. An unknown gem of a line, nice work, Mike!

A Review of This Ocarina


text: Longtime bourbon drinker here, rather new to site, Been through a lot of threads, but haven't found the answers i seek. My father was a tech-rep who often worked at Stitzel-Weller (around 1970) and our basement was full of Cabin Still (Old Cabin Still?), Old Fitzgerald, and SW products, many of which I spirited away and consumed--and much enjoyed--in my late teens/early 20s. In the intervening years I've gone through Scotch, Irish, rye, cognac, and other phases, while still enjoying bourbon, usually of the well variety (Jim Beam, 10 High, Early Times, and such). But my dad's stock was always my favorite, and judging from the posts I've read, that means I like wheaties best--but not sure what percent of the mash I prefer is wheat; it's till mostly corn, right? So cleaning out my late parents house I found two treasures (still sealed, no apparent evaporation, stored in dark basement, etc.): a cute half-pint of Old Weller 107 and a fifth of Very Old Fitzgerald BIB (barreled 1960, bottled 1968). Would you guys recommend I just break them open and enjoy, or should I re-train my palate with some currently available quality wheaties (or others)? If so, what wheaties are recommended? Thanks. -Chuckles

Outlook for 2013
Pub Date: Dec 23, 2012 - 3:00 pm
The euro has defied expectations, ending the year much higher than predicted. Alice Ross, the FT's currencies correspondent, asks Jose Wynne, head of foreign exchange research at Barclays, what effect the ECB's Outright Monetary Transaction scheme would have on the euro if implemented next year. Also under discussion is the outlook for the dollar if a deal is reached on the fiscal cliff, and whether the yen will finally weaken.

Now, see if you can get your grandchildren (or maybe great-grandchildren) to teach you how to use the newfangled thing.
And while you're at it, see if you can get them to haul the old tube TV away - because after next week the trash man won't take it.
The state Legislature recently passed the Covered Device Recycling Act, and it takes effect Jan. 24. After that, no more tossing unwanted electronics in the trash. You'll have to take items to a recycling collection area.
What kinds of electronics are we talking about? Pretty much all of them - from A (answering machines) to Z (Zenith televisions). See the full list below.
The law is a good idea. Keeping the heavy metals and other hazardous, toxic materials contained in these devices out of landfills will certainly be good for the environment. And much of the material can be reused.
So kudos for the environmental motivations behind this new law.
But the devil is in the circuitry when it comes to complex efforts - and it remains to be seen how well this will all work when implemented. As it stands right now, it looks like we could be tuning in to some confusion over where to take items and when.
In the short term, it seems likely that a lot of old electronic items will just wind up collecting dust in the basement or out in the backyard because people don't know where to take them or just don't have time. Or worse, we could see a lot of rural dumping - look out, Codorus Creek, for a cannonball by an old Canon copy machine.
There is no curbside pickup of the items. They will have to be transported to collection sites.
Currently, there are 11 such sites identified in York County - and when those sites are open is a confusing mishmash. Some are open during weekday business hours (not convenient for those who work). Some are open on weekends - but not every weekend and not all day. Some are open on seemingly random days - a York Township site, for instance, is open Feb. 16, May 18, Aug. 17 and Nov. 16.
It would be nice if there were at least a few strategically located facilities that were pretty much always open - weekdays, weekends, evenings.
Maybe that won't be necessary and everything will work out really well as currently configured.
Or maybe state and local officials will have to work a few bugs out of this well-intentioned effort - CDRA 2.0. (If you don't get that 2.0 stuff, you might be better off hanging on to the Philco for a few more years.)
P.S. As a recent letter to the editor notes, there's another option to get rid of unwanted devices: Take them to a recycler who will actually pay you for your items. That might even help cover the cost of gas to transport the electronics (and you can't help but wonder if requiring people to transport their items to collection sites, burning fossil fuels, counterbalances the environmental benefits of getting electronics out of the waste stream).
What to recycle
The following electronic devices can be recycled at any of 11 collection sites across York County:
Answering machines, cellphones, computers and peripherals, computer mice, copier/fax equipment, desktop computers, disc players, duplicators, electric typewriters, gaming products, hard drives, keyboards, laptops, mainframes, microwave ovens, modems, monitors, power cords, printed circuit boards, printers, radios, remote controls, stereo equipment, tape players, telephone equipment, televisions, testing equipment, transparency equipment, uninterruptible power supplies and VCRs.
Recycling locations
Electronics are accepted at these 11 collection sites in York County, during the times listed:
1 p.m second and third Saturday of January, and first and third Saturday of February through December. All York County residents and businesses can participate.
111 Walnut Valley Ct.; 717-244-6813; Weekends: 7 a.m. to 10 a.m. second Saturday of every month. Township residents and businesses can participate.
8 a.m. to 4:15 p.m. Monday through Friday, except holidays. Weekends: 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. every Saturday, except holidays. All York County residents and businesses can participate.
8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 8 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. Friday, beginning Feb. 1. All York County residents and businesses can participate.
10 a.m. to 2 p.m. first Saturday of every month. All York County residents and businesses can participate.
7 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. Feb. 16, May 18, Aug. 17 and Nov. 16. All York County residents and businesses can participate.

Why do you keep hiring these girls to cover sports? That's crazy.
They're women. Bright young women with a passion for sports and telling stories. I hire them because I want to provide customers like you with the best sports coverage possible. Don't prejudge. Give them a chance. You'll be pleased with the results from them and our entire staff.
Mike, who do you see West Virginia losing to?
In the Big 12? OU-WVU is a push. I think the OSU-WVU is too. But WVU has K-State and TCU in Morgantown, so I wouldn't say the same about those games ... I'd like to say I see them losing to Maryland but come on.
I watched college football media days. Seems like Tennessee coach Derek Dooley is on the hot seat this season for sure. Do you think he gets fired after this season?
Tennessee's football coaching spot is one of the hottest seats in the country because Vols fans have an unrealistic view of the program. Big does not equal Great. They're not Texas A&M fans on the unrealistic scale, but they have no patience. I really wish UT would get back to being a factor, because it's important to that state and I love Tennessee. Lived there for five years (Brentwood, TN). Great place, good people. But they think (mistakenly) that SEC title contention is a birthright. It's not. Give Dooley some time. What's it been? Third season?
Ibaka has been playing great for Spain. Where do you side on the Harden vs. Ibaka debate? Who to keep?
If they have to choose keeping Harden has to be the priority. Berry Tramel makes this point: Who was standing with Durant and Westbrook, watching from the corner of the bench in the final minutes of the Heat's Game 5 title-clinching performance: Harden. He's hard-wired into the culture of the team and its top two stars. I realize Ibaka's upside and it's probably greater than Harden's. But he's also going to be more expensive and he's less woven into the fabric of the franchise. It's a tough call though.
Who's going to run the ball for the Sooners?

The November 2nd election is fast approaching, and candidates are in an all-out sprint to the finish.
Each election cycle, it seems like political ads become more and more detached from talking about actual issues. For some reason, this feels like it may be an especially over-the-top year.
This isn't a partisan thing. I've seen campaigns on both sides of the aisle putting out ads that are over-the-top and even just plain odd.
Just yesterday, I saw that Canadians have entered the fray.
Have you seen some ads that have you shaking your head? That seem wackier than normal? Post a link in the comments for folks to see.
And if you want to get beyond the odd ads and to actual facts on the issues? If you want to see where candidates stand on important issues – in their own words? Go to www.aarp.org/yourvote to view voter guides in your state.
Because it shouldn't be about ads. It's about your right, your decisions, your vote.

Representative Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, of Florida, has become the first sitting Republican member of Congress to unequivocally support marriage equality.
Asked by the Washington Blade whether she's a supporter of same-sex marriage in addition to backing DOMA repeal, Ros-Lehtinen initially expressed confusion about why the question was being asked, saying, "I don't know why you're asking that. It's such a weird way." But she later affirmed she's a supporter of marriage equality.
"Oh, yeah, I am," Ros-Lehtinen said. "I thought you were trying to get some tricky thing here. No I am."
Her office did not respond to Blade inquiries following up on the remarks.
If you have been following developments on the DOMA repeal front over the past year, Ros-Lehtinen's support perhaps does not come as much of a surprise.
She of course became the first Republican House lawmaker to sign on to the Respect for Marriage Act. The legislation, which she decided to sponsor late last year, would repeal in its entirety the Defense of Marriage Act that bans the federal government from recognizing same-sex marriages and therein precludes same-sex couples from the federally governed rights and benefits associated with marriage.
Ros-Lehtinen has also been the only House Republican to sign a letter petitioning the IRS to re-examine tax rules when it comes to how it treats same-sex couples who, because of DOMA, often face higher tax rates because they cannot file jointly.
During the Washington Blade question and answer session, which was held at the launch of Young Conservatives for the Freedom to Marry at the Capitol Hill Club in D.C. on Tuesday, Ros-Lehtinen also confirmed that she does support presidential candidate Mitt Romney, but was keen to qualify that support thus: "Well I support him because of his views on the business issues and the economy. There are a lot of issues in which I disagree with Mitt Romney, but there are a lot of issues in which I disagree with members of my family. But I love them all the same."
Romney has of course pledged to back a federal marriage amendment banning same-sex marriage.

Thank you, Representative Ileana Ros-Lehtinen. As a republican myself, you make me very proud. I am not gay, but we hosted a gay
wedding at our home. It was beautiful! I feel that when two people are in love, they should be able to marry one another with the same rights my husband and I have. That said, I was feeling like I was not one of the better republicans, but ask me if I care. The main thing I care about now is getting rid of the socialist party that ran on the democratic ticket that is currently occupying the white house!
Never mind, it's on Urban Dictionary: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Tealiban
Great minds think alike, I guess.
Rose, my dear, the Tealiban (I have never seen this word used before, so maybe I did coin it!) has all but taken over the Republican Party. They are the fringe of the fringe, the extreme right. The Republican Party has become more and more exclusionary over the past 30-some years. Pro-choice and pro-GLBT factions are all but drummed out of the party.
When the Occupy movement was making headlines, I don't believe very many Democrats were particularly supportive of them. They did not take over the Democratic Party. There may be a few fringe elements in the party--not many--but the Democrats are not going to let some fringe group take them over.
So, excuse me, but the saner elements do prevail in the Democratic Party. What you think is so far to the left they're falling off the edge of the earth is centrist or right-leaning in almost every other industrialized nation in the world.
if it's a lie then she's one that needs something or someone to help her because she is obviously incompable of doing it on her own. if it is the truth then thank you for the backing. i am getting so tired of hearing this or that. marriage is a civil matter, not a county matter, not a state matter, not a federal matter, as far as i know civil means city. what difference who you live with, marry, go on vacation with, it is none of my business unless it is something that is deadly or harmful. when someone says it is not right for 2 people of the same sex to be together what the hell, it's not like they are having to come over and eat with the couple. they go home to their disfunctional family and don't even think about one person that's sexually different from them. what is in your house is NOBODY's business exact the person who is paying the rent. and it is amazing how ALL this got started because one person many years ago made a statement.
I am sure behind that statement is a hidden agenda
Troy G is right on. This is a pure political move for her. Without the gay community in Dade-Broward County she will lose and she is one of these nut job anti-Castro ex-Cubans who just cannot get their head around that 50 years of embargo did not bring down the Cuban regime but made it worse for the people that she supposedly cares about.
Smoke and mirror. Don't put your hopes up.
A Republican female standing up for marriage equality? What a thought! if only she will hold her ground when the party decides who deserves to be treated with equality, dignity, and respect......
Well, at least one GOP member isn't hiding behind religion to push biogtry.
I can only hope her support isn't purely politically motivated. Of course, it is. But I can hope there's some of her true ideology in there too.
If so, it might mean the right wing is slowly turning around. Unfortunately, though, I suspect it's just to get votes in her community.

Ancient fossilised forest, exposed by winter storms, to go exhibition
Posted: March 26, 2014|
An ancient fossilised forest uncovered on a beach near Penzance during the winter storms is to go on display as part of a new exhibition.
The ancient forest, which was discovered on beaches at Long Rock and Wherry Town, is estimated to be between 4,000 and 6,000 years old.
Items including a sub-fossil tree trunk, pine cones and hazel nuts will all feature in the new exhibition Penzance 400 at Penlee Gallery and Museum.
From medieval times onward the occasional exposure of the remains of the submerged forest has fuelled local mythology, including tales of the lost land of Lyonesse.
The Cornish name for nearby St Michael's Mount, Karrek Loos y'n Koos - meaning 'grey rock in the forest' – is thought to possibly refer to a time when forests extended across Mounts Bay.
Frank Howie, Cornwall Wildlife Trustee and chairman of the Cornwall Geoconservation Group said: "The fossil forest exhibit was planned early this year as part of the PZ 400 celebration – before the severe winter storms re-exposed long-buried peat beds, tree stump and trunks on Wherry Town and Chyandour beaches – and newly collected specimens have been used to help explain the origin of this spectacular site."
The exhibition carries the full title - Penzance 400: A Celebration of the History of Penzance and its Charter of Incorporation in May 1614.
It has been scheduled to coincide with the 200th anniversary of the foundation of the Royal Geological Society of Cornwall in Penzance in 1814, where early descriptions of the Mount's Bay 'submerged forest' were published in its transactions.
The winter storms have also revealed a number of wartime explosives and also the remains of the SS Belem which sank near Bude in 1917.
The Royal Navy removed a number of unexploded devices from Westcountry beaches, including two at Watergate Bay near Newquay.
The exhibition is open now and will run until June 7.
