You're a techie-kind, right? Well, you better take a look at this. OleaPark helps you keep updated to what's happening in your city regarding technology. It shows public events posted on Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIN: about startup founding meetups, networking events and much more.
Beside that useful info, you can attend the events and get networking badges for it. Actually, OleaPark guides you in the process of attending networking events. Before attending, it helps you learn about attendees and arrange meetings. During the event, it detects when you arrive (GPS) at the event and help you connect people nearby. After the event, every person you've connectedwith will keep in your contact list.
The app should be enhanced in some regards though: for example, cities available (just a few so far), layout and intuitiveness. However, the app concept is great and we wish its developers great success.

Sounding a little like wolves in the night or strange jungle creatures this synthesised sound uses formant filters to get the vocalised sounds.
Perfect for my Christmas story about wolves!
This is the perfect sound for a late cold night in Alaska with wolves hunting you... and of course the aurora lights in the sky
This sounds very hauntingly dark, suitable for a dark Jungle near tombs or something perhaps Lovecraft like.
siiiiiiiiiikkkkkk nice n dark,nice 1 my friend :)

A number of stars flocked to Austin, Texas for South by Southwest (SXSW) Festival over the weekend. Zac Efron came to the event to premiere his new movie "Neighbors" ahead of its May 9 U.S. theatrical release, and Kristen Bell was spotted supporting the screening of her crowd-funded film "Veronica Mars" which is due March 14.
Efron was joined by his co-stars Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Seth Rogen, and Dave Franco at the Paramount Theatre. Meanwhile, Bell was joined by her castmates Krysten Ritter, Chris Lowell, Tina Majorino, Amanda Noret, Percy Daggs III, Enrico Colantoni, Ryan Hansen, Jason Dohring, and director Rob Thomas. At one point, the latter group was caught on camera taking a photo a la Ellen DeGeneres' Oscar selfie.
In the meantime, Matthew Bomer and Patrick Wilson came to the festival to debut their movie "Space Station 76". Ethan Hawke and Richard Linklater promoted their flick "Predestination", Jon Favreau premiered his comedy "Chef (2014)", and Nicolas Cage promoted "Joe" with Rosario Dawson.

A Carnival of Spirits
Last weekend, I had a fun opportunity to attend a different kind of tasting event. My friend, Carter Raff of Raff Distillerie, offered me some of his trade tickets to the Craft Spirits Festival at Fort Mason and I accepted happily. I had a great time, and even though I have piles of tasting notes from wine events to write up, it seems like a fun aside to quickly share a very different kind of event with everyone.
To be honest, I was a little nervous about this event. I've been to enough beer and wine tastings to know how quickly they can go downhill and spirits seemed like they could lead to a quicker and steeper descent. However, the event was organized in such a smart way, it really wasn't a problem. The event was organized in such a way that the drinking was naturally broken up a bit.
Many of the booths offered tastings of cocktails as well as spirits. Choosing a cocktail over a spirit could help slow down the rate of drinking as you enjoyed the event. My personal strategy was to find a cocktail I really enjoyed and then focus on buying viagra only tasting that kind of spirit. Despite all of the options with this strategy, I mostly focused on whiskey and tequila tastings since they're my favorite liquors.
The carnival also had another way to slow down the inebriation process. True to its name, the carnival periodically had performances for the crowd to enjoy. There was everything from aerialists to dancers to a sword eater to a contortionist. The performances were all captivating and succeeded in pulling the crowds away from the tastings for a bit. I really loved this approach to managing the drinking. It gave some fun entertainment to those just looking to have a fun weekend and allowed the serious tasters to have more access to the booths.
While the whole day was very fun, the highlight for me was the Bulleit booth. I usually like to take advantage of these tastings and try smaller producers. However, I was drawn to the booth by a colorful character, Hollis Bulleit. The bourbon descendant had an array of Sharpie paint pens and had taken to decorating bottles. After a taste of the new Bulleit 10, I knew I had to get a bottle and there wasn't a chance I wasn't going to have her paint it. I'm so excited about my addition to the liquor cabinet… even if I have no plans of ever drinking it.
Of course, I also want to tip my hat to Carter Raff for inviting me to this fantastic event! His spirits are popping up all over the Bay Area and they are fantastic. I have never really been into Gin but I love Carter's and I recommend it for Gin lovers and skeptics alike. He also makes an Absinthe and has developed several cocktail recipes for his spirits.
All in all, I really enjoyed this event. I have been to a lot of tastings and this one really surprised me with its originality and management. I definitely look forward to attending this event in the future.

Look who's talking about judicial independence
YOURSAY 'The chief justice is not helpless - he can use whatever powers he has left in his office to encourage the PM to follow the constitution.'
CJ urges PM to defend judicial independence
Anonymous_4031: It is heartening to hear from the chief justice (CJ) that the rule of law must always be upheld; and the independence of the judiciary must be jealously defended and protected at all costs.
When this is done, the people will have confidence in the judiciary. In turn, it will promote confidence among investors, both foreign or local.
Investors who have grievances will know that they still have the judiciary to execute justice and fairness. It is for the well-being of the nation and its people.
When people are happy with the judicial system, they will accept the judgments made by the judges. That is the right way to go.
OMG!!: Judiciary independence is earned and not dished out.
If the chief justice still keeps pace with the laws, which he obviously has forgotten, he would recall that the independence of the judiciary under the Westminster model is due to the judges having the balls to stand up against a hostile executive, unlike in Malaysia when none of the judges dare to cite Dr Mahathir Mohamad for contempt for his relentless assaults on the judiciary during and after his tenure as the PM.
The situation is not helped by some corrupted judges who would sell off their brethren.
Kee Thuan Chye: The CJ should also say that Parliament must reinstate in the federal constitution the independence of the judiciary by reinserting Article 121. That is the statement of principle that recognises the separation of powers.
It was taken out by Mahathir in 1988. If PM Najib Razak wants to bring about reform, he must move to reinsert Article 121. In fact, it's not even reform, it's putting back what should be there.
Pemerhati: CJ Arifin Zakaria was one of the judges on the panels that according to law expert Abdul Aziz Bari turned the law 'upside down' in the Perak cases and legally handed the state over to Najib's BN.
After that despicable behaviour by him and his other cohorts, most of them were on the fast lane to promotion. Now at a public forum, Malaysia's number one judge is trying to sound reasonable by making some suggestions that he knows full well will never be implemented by the top BN leadership as many of them have allegedly committed various crimes such as murder, rape and stolen billions of the people's money.
Only trusted judges like him and others, such as those who showed their loyalty to Najib and BN by turning the law 'upside down' in the Perak cases, will be allowed to take on the cases which BN wants to win.
Starr: Clearly, it's the sworn constitutional duty of the prime minister to defend and uphold the independence of the judiciary and as such there should not be any interference from the other two branches of government (executive and legislative).
The judiciary crisis following the removal of lord president Salleh Abas has shaken the foundation of the government, resulting in massive loss of public trust and confidence in the administration.
Since then, the judiciary has been seen as a mere 'tool' of the executive. Attempts to repair and restore the independence of the judiciary have been haphazard and the road to full recovery is indeed a long and winding road ahead.
It's easier to destroy public confidence than to rebuild it once lost. This is perhaps a lesson of Mahathirism that the country should never forget.
Sinner: Mr Chief Justice, when he was in power, Mahathir had cowed the judiciary to such extent that when he said, "Jump", most of the judges would have asked, "How high?".
This was especially so after Salleh Abas was sacked by Mahathir in 1988. Some of these "compliant" judges are still on the bench. We need nothing less than a new government to exorcise this ghost of 1988.
Swipenter: What the CJ can do for judicial independence is to make sure that appointment of judges are free from any form of interference from the executive and these judges are not afraid to be independent of the executive arm of the government and dare to exercise their judicial powers without fear or favour.
Judges must rule according to the rule of law and not by law. As CJ, you are morally bound and responsible to defend the independence of the judiciary and not the prime minister.
Keturunan Malaysia: CJ Arifin Zakaria, the glaring fact that you are making this call shows that there is no real judicial independence.
Boiling Mud: Instead of calling upon the PM to do the unlikely and unthinkable, and if this CJ is any different from his predecessors, he should have the backbone to stand up tall to lead the defence of judiciary independence against the burgeoning executive.
After all, his post is appointed by the Agong. As a learned man (which I presume he is) of the law, he should know all the clauses in the constitution to do just that.
Failing this, the call is nothing but another hollow grandiose gesture for the sake of making a public speech. It takes one brave man to light the torch and the mass will help to carry it through.
Joe Lee: Let's give the benefit of the doubt to Chief Justice Arifin Zakaria. The chief justice is not helpless - he can use whatever powers he has left in his office to encourage the PM to follow the constitution.
He also has the support of the vast majority of civil society (sans Perkasa and other such gangster organisations); he can get the people to back him if he needs to confront blatant abuse of powers by the PM.
So what say you, Mr Chief Justice?
Anonymous #12566075: The Honourable CJ, please tell us if the PM refuses to carry out his duty to ensure separation of judiciary from legislative and executive arms as stated in our constitution, what alternative action do we have?
Onyourtoes: Justice Arifin, let's cut the long story. So do we have judicial independence or not today in Malaysia? If we do not, please quote instances where such violations have taken place.
What about you? Do you have responsibility to maintain judicial independence? If you have, may I know how are you living up to that responsibility?

Suri Cruise: Vanity Fair Outtakes
Check out all of the non-scanned Suri Cruise pictures from Vanity Fair! SOOOOOOO CUTE!!!!!
If you missed the debut last month, these were the very first official Suri Cruise pictures from October 2006 issue of of Vanity Fair. Proud parents Tom Cruise, 44, and Katie Holmes, 27, were on the cover with their beautiful baby girl. Katie Couric first revealed these pictures during her broadcast of CBS Evening News saying, "After much speculation as to why she's been undercover for so long, here is proof positive. Yes-Suri (Yessirree), she does exist!!"
Vanity Fair's celebrity go-to photographer Annie Leibovitz snapped the photos at Tom's home in Telluride, Colorado back in July when baby Suri was 3+ months old. Tom said, "It seemed only natural to have Annie take the first public photographs of Suri. Annie is the only professional photographer who ever shot Bella and Connor as children." The magazine scans can be found here.

#1: Larry Ellison, Oracle
Total Compensation: $96.2 million
2012 Performance: +29%
The top spot on this list should hardly come as a surprise to most people. Oracle (NASDAQ:ORCL) CEO Larry Ellison has been in the top three of the list for the past six years and more than doubles second-place Richard Bracken's pay. Ellison's total compensation stops just shy of $100 million.
The bulk of that came in stock, of course, but Ellison is the king of extras, too. He racked up a whopping $1.5 million in perks — nearly fives times the average — with most of that going toward security. As The New York Times reported: "He pays out of pocket for the installation and maintenance of home security systems; Oracle covers the cost of the security personnel."
I guess on the bright side, Oracle outperformed in 2012, gaining almost 30%. But that's even better for Ellison too, as a good chunk of his wealth is directly tied to that performance.
As of this writing, Alyssa Oursler did not hold a position in any of the aforementioned securities.

Indeterminacy under input-specific externalities and implications for fiscal policy
In this paper, we introduce input-specific externalities in a dynamic general equilibrium model with heterogeneous households and a finance constraint (Woodford (1986)). In contrast to existing papers, average labor and capital have not a positive impact on the total productivity of factors, but respectively on labor and capital efficiencies. Focusing on not too low degrees of capital-labor substitution, we show that indeterminacy requires not only a lower bound for the elasticity of capital-labor substitution, but also an upper bound, although the returns are increasing. As a direct implication, the well known wrong slopes condition (labor demand steeper than labor supply) is neither a necessary nor a sufficient condition for indeterminacy and larger increasing returns promote sadlle-path stability when inputs are high substitutes. Using this framework, we are also able to analyze the role of variable tax rates on capital and labor income on the dynamics. In contrast to existing results, we show that tax rates decreasing with their tax base do not promote instability due to self-fulfilling expectations when capital and labor are sufficiently high substitutes, but rather have a stabilizing effect.

Learn the methods used by mystics and seers worldwide to awaken consciousness in the dream state.
Among the ancient mystics, shamans, Egyptians, Tibetans, and even modern investigators like Carl Jung, consciousness and the dream state have been of the utmost spiritual and psychological importance. Astral projection, lucid dreaming, out-of-body experiences and vision quests are all part of the extensive practical science of Dream Yoga, the sacred knowledge of consciously harnessing the power of the dream state. Any sincere practitioner who actively utilizes the clues in this book can open the doors to the inner dimensions of nature and the soul, and thereby come to know the truth of the mysteries that exist beyond the reach of our physical senses.
"Whosoever awakens the consciousness can no longer dream here in this physical plane or in the internal worlds. Whosoever awakens the consciousness stops dreaming. Whosoever awakens the consciousness becomes a competent investigator of the superior worlds. Whosoever awakens consciousness is an illuminated one. Whosoever awakens the consciousness can study at the feet of the master. Whosoever awakens the consciousness can talk familiarly with the Gods who initiated the dawn of creation. Whosoever awakens the consciousness can remember his innumerable reincarnations." —Samael Aun Weor

Camping Weekend – Ends Quickly
Margaret and I wanted to go out and get the "woodsy feeling" and go camping over the weekend. That's not me in the picture, but it gives a good example as to what we were doing in the woods. Nothing. Little did we know that our little camping trip would end with one of the most frightening endings there is. It wasn't a bear, it wasn't a pack of wolves and it wasn't a forest fire. It was the Park Ranger.
Friday morning rolled around and I got through the Morning Show and did my lunch hour here at the office, made a camping plan and hit the road. John James Audubon State Park was our spot, so we settled down, pitched a tent and started hitting the trails. We knew that it gets quite dark in the woods at night, so we left to get some lights and a deck of cards.
On our return, the gate had become closed to the entrance. The exit was still open and since our tent and backpacks and such were still at our campsite, we had to go back in. Big mistake. The Park Ranger quickly grappled us up and thought we were just causing trouble. He explained that trespassing is very illegal and that we would have to spend some time behind the bars.
I explained that we had a campsite all set up and we were just out looking for some trees to sleep in between. He called up Local P.D. and had me lead him to the campsite. We ventured out the trail to our (I have to say incredible) incredible campsite. He was impressed and didn't think that anyone knew about this spot but him. All I said was that we were hiking a while and came across it.
The tent came down and went back in its bag. All I can think about is the fact that if I have to go to jail tonight it is not going to go over well with anyone I know. The Ranger's words were speeding through my head like a broken record. "You are going to jail" played on repeat in my brain for 20 minutes.
Okay, everything is down and in its bag. We put all of it in the trunk of the Ranger's car and he took us back to my car. He explained that he doesn't have any tolerance for people trespassing on closed property and I agreed. I thought we were in the clear at this point. Park Ranger then said, "I want to conduct a field sobriety test to make sure you are okay to drive." I had to follow the finger and passed with flying colors. I passed my first and last sobriety test, and we hit the road. Got outta Dodge.

Two Mini-Workshops at the University of Ulster
This was just a quick one-day trip across the Irish Sea to Northern Ireland, someplace I had never been. I flew into Belfast and then was taken by taxi on the 90-minute drive to Derry. I had no idea Northern Ireland was mountainous -- we went up 1000 feet crossing the Sperrin Mountains before returning to sea level again, and the mountains were covered with snow.
The University of Ulster Magee Campus in Derry has just started up a new degree program in game development, and to help promote it, they asked me to come and give a couple of half-day workshops. The first one was for local high school students, the second, for students already in the engineering program there. As usual in my workshops, each team was given a different idea to work on. The team in the picture created a game for little girls about becoming Miss World, and despite the unfamiliar subject matter, they did a fine job. The second workshop was equally enjoyable; the students were older and so tended to flex their imaginations a bit more.

|Bijou's Secret
|Written by Briony Kidd
|Thursday, 24 May 2012 13:42
Presented as a double bill with Legs, Lips Elbows, Bijou's Secret is a new solo performance by Fiona Stewart and the first play she's written.
Bijou's Secret is the haunting story of the three generations of women, and how their lives have been blighted by the bitterness of the unacknowledged past. Stewart plays the three: the French matriarch Bijou, a single mother; her daughter Mireille, an alcoholic poet; and her daughter, Sandra, a down-to-earth artist.
Fragments of monologue, with songs arising naturally from the reflections of the women, this is an atmospheric yet earthy piece of theatre that doesn't overstay its welcome. It explains its characters lives, gives them each time to say what they need to say – the pain that still burns for each of them – and then departs, like incense wafting through an open window (an effect that's also a literal element of the simple staging in the gallery space-turned-theatre of the Sidespace).
Stewart is a singer of considerable experience – she spent 10 years as a jazz performer in France – and here incorporates songs by Gabriel Fauré, Kurt Weill, Artie Butler, and one of her ownMother's Song. Musically, accompanied by classical guitarist Julius Schwing, she engages her audience effortlessly.
But what really sustains Bijou's Secret is the mystery at its heart, and the believable construction of the three women who, while living very different lives, and each quite self-contained, are inextricably intwined.
Bijou has held onto the facts around Mireille's paternity and early life. Sandra, along with the audience, learn the truth of this, and understands that Mireille's life has been damaged, stunted perhaps, by Bijou's decision to withold the truth.
The specifics, concerning a relationship with a German soldier during World War II, are poignant, but not as shocking as the contemporary ripples of that story – inescapable realities such as a mother and daughter who have always misunderstood each other, a wife who cannot fully love her husband, and an artist whose talent has been squandered.
The emotional devastation is leavened by music and the dry wit of the women. Mireille in particular is a superb creation, ruthlessly judgemental on one level, and yet sensual and passionate, largely to her own detriment. She's a bit of a monster, and yet the people around her, her mother, her daughter, and the husband she's treated badly, seem to adore her. Perhaps they're making allowances, for the missing part of her they somehow sense.
This is an intimate and entertaining piece of theatre, constructed with precision and attention to detail. It might sound strange to say, considering the richly melancholic subject matter and Bijou's sense of drama in telling her own story, but it's also delivered with a pleasing lack of sentiment. It doesn't labour the point. Perhaps this comes from an understanding that all of us have secrets that are just as devastating, in their way.

Workplace exposure to secondhand cigarette smoke or environmental tobacco smoke (ETS)is widespread, effecting between 19 and 49% of the U.S. workforce. The first part of this study is designed to test whether exposure to ETS in the workplace effects a person's risk of developing chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease and cancer. The second part of this study is designed to test whether antioxidant supplementation in this group of ETS exposed individuals can reduce their risk of developing chronic disease.
The study will look at 375 non-smokers who either work on a casino floor or as bartenders or cocktail servers. Initial baseline data will be collected (questionnaires and blood samples taken) and the subjects will be randomized into one of three groups, placebo, low antioxidant supplementation and high antioxidant supplementation. They will be followed over a two-year period, coming in for follow-up testing every six months. Statistical analysis will be conducted to see whether this group of ETS exposed individuals has a greater risk of developing chronic disease and whether the use of antioxidant supplements can moderate any risks.

Like It in the Park
Optimist's free Shakespeare show
There are some really good performances here, though. Clayton Hamburg is charmingly magnetic as love-struck Orlando desperately trying to prove his love for Rosalind. And though Kristin Hammargren doesn't manage to render much depth as Rosalind, she's got a charisma that supports the role quite well.
Featuring the short and athletically built Hamburg as Orlando and the toweringly mesomorphic fight choreographer Christopher Elst, the wrestling scene at the beginning of the play was exquisitely executed and a great deal of fun.
Other strong performances pepper the production. Todd Denning is cleverly comic as the jester Touchstone. He has a solidly whimsical comportment in the role with excellent physical and vocal comic timing. Alison Mary Forbes is delightfully cast as Amiens. Forbes delivers brilliantly to the mood of the show in song and spirit, even managing to breathe some much-needed life into a couple of scenes that were otherwise lacking.
Optimist Theatre's As You Like It continues through July 21 in the Kadish Amphitheater. All shows start at 8 p.m.

Talk:Slipknot (band)
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
What are you people talking about ' slipknot is pretty close to being the heaviest band ever!!!! hey mordillo theres 9 guys!!. burn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- I laughed. --SadisticWolf 15:54, May 25, 2010 (UTC)
Wasn't Josh Brainard the guitarist before Jim Root?
yeah, but who gives a rat's bikini?
Why are all articles about bands just written to insult the band or the people that listen to them?
because this band is awful? that might be it.
Dude you dont know anything, id like you to tell me what the hell you listen to. what lil wayne or some emo bullshit like black veil brides? really dude everything else these days is wanna be bullshit. slipknots the only band thats been playing for a while and is still accualy producing music that doesent suck.
Everything else is wanna be bullshit? Good God, you're ignorant.. Slipknot are the ultimate wannabes anyway, they want to be a metal band but they just can't do it. And I could name plenty of bands who've been going longer whilst keeping their discography consistent.
I think this may be one of my favourite Uncyclopedia articles (and THAT is saying something!) Just ROFL! MinxieLoli 16:07, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
Slipknot is a good band but this aritcle is halarious!
really, why cant i edit anything, the edit tab isnt appearing! i demand an answer >: i 188.8.131.52 21:45, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
edit hey
why cant i edit the slipknot page? theres no edit button Ritzbitz00 01:25, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
- This page is semi protected so only registered users can edit it. You wanna make it funnier? Get an account and wait three days. -OptyC Sucks! CUN21:55, 22 May
Can someone edit this page to make some kind of acknowledgement that their bassist died..? In a respectable way, because death is only funnny sometimes.
edit Slipknot Is A Rip-Off Of Mr.Bungle
Slipknot ripped the mask gimmick off of Mr.Bungle, Mr. Bungle started doing this in 1985, Slipknot was formed in 1995. Slipknot's first album, "Mate.Feed.Kill.Repeat", is A complete rip-off of Mr. Bungle. Mr. Bungle was an experimental rock group that would sometimes mix heavy metal, death metal, thrash metal, alternative metal, Beach Boys-type pop, techno, and skaa into their music. Slipknot tried to do that, but failed miserably at it. At least Mr. Bungle had a reason for wearing the masks (They didn't want people knowing that Mike Patton was in the band, but after everyone found out, they stopped wearing them). Slipknot, on the other hand, have one of the worst reasons ever heard for wearing their masks: They claim that they're actually telling us more about themselves by wearing the masks than by showing their faces. What a lame excuse. The masks are used as a gimmick, and they even make a big deal about it when they change the things. They all play very sloppily and, hoping that no one notices, play as loud as they can to try to cover up their lack of talent. As for the fans of Slipknot - ignorant teens who listen to the band because they think it makes them 'tough' or 'cool'. Also of note is the fact that they'll insult anyone who hates the band, showing that they can't handle others opinions. Chances are, any metal band that has a DJ in the group or comes up with a name for their fans are going to suck. How ironic that real-life maggots are insects that fester around feces. ImBetterThenYou 05:29, 4 February 2010
- NOBODY CARES, YOU CLEFT --SadisticWolf 15:54, May 25, 2010 (UTC)
"How ironic that real-life maggots are insects that fester around feces." Notice the fact his username is also coincidentally "MAGGOT4LiFE666" and he cannot spell the word rot! Am I the only one who finds that ironic? ImBetterThenYou 17 August 2010
its pretty fucking sad that you wrote all that shit about mr bungle just to prove a point and STILL nobody gives are fuck who they are, what they do and why they even bothered making music in the first place. slipknot have been given the credit for their uniqueness. why? cos they're better. suck it, faggot. RIP PAUL GRAY. ps. this article is piss funny.
You would know who the bands Mr. Bungle, Faith No More, Fantômas and Tomahawk were if you were brought up around 1985, judging by what you have wrote, you are another ignorant teen who listen to Slipknot because they think it makes them 'tough' or 'cool'. ImBetterThenYou 17 August 2010
i gotta say that mr bungle may have done it before slipknot but slipknot did not take the mask idea from them, they origionally based their masks on the masks from the film clockwork orange and they have developed that over time. Now has basically become slipknots image so dont bash them for it seeing as that image has made them very popular through out the world. (Slipknot and Mr. Bungle are both awesome.)
I'm gettin kinda annooyed with the 2 sides here slipknot are good and even if you don't liike them you've gotta respect them for how popular they are, but also slipknot aren't the only band on earth and i sometimes get kinda annoyed with people acting like they are, there are lots of other bands out there not all of them are metal bands but they're still very good and respectableso if people start listening to other band they might actually like them. (I'm not trying to judge anyone here i just want people to see that if a band is popular you should respect them for doing whatever it is they do (apart from if it's justin bieber,).)
edit NOT IMPRESSED!
It was originally made for those who like the concept of a band but hate, or even know what is, music. Now it caters to nearly all the people who have an I.Q. less than 50 okay now you are calling me dumb because i like listening to slipknot and i have a I.Q. of over 50! And i dont care if you put nearly!

In a rare moment of slipknot empathy, the band was too nice to tell Joey to leave, and kept him on anyway. His mask is a kabuki mask and we're told it's very scary. Joey is a good drummer and if u think he is not then u don't have to put it up pn the internet! Keep it to yourself!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ur saying he is a bad drummer listen to one of his solo's: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5d7blA_dbIY&feature=related
3 Chris Fehn- Backup Drums, Backup Growls: Chris was the third drummer to join the band because dammit, two just aren't enough; his other job is to "sing" backup for Corey, so in theory, he could leave the band and it probably wouldn't make much of a difference at all. He is the only member of Slipknot who does not wear a mask, as no mask in existence could fit over his dildo-like Pinocchio nose. It would make a difference if he left the band and also he does wear a mask and his mask is awesome!
I THINK THIS ONE ANNOYED ME THE MOST: 2 Paul The Pig- Bass: Paul started out as a pig, then a chipmunk, then this dog thing. Why the obsession with animals? It's what he eats for dinner. Sadly, Paul was killed by Oprah while fighting the empire on the planet Coruscant in his native state of Iowa sometime last Thursday. THAT IS JUST DISRESPECTFUL!!!
Paul's real death info: Slipknot's Paul Gray's death has been ruled an overdose.
The bassist, who passed away last month, was the victim of a lethal combination of morphine and the narcotic painkiller fentanyl - both injectable substances.
According to E! Online, Polk County Medical Examiner Dr Gregory Schmunk issued the death certificate on Friday (June 18).
Schmunk also confirmed that Gray had been suffering from heart disease.
Investigators have not found evidence that Gray had a prescription for either substance, and police officials have said that it is possible charges could be filed in the case at some point in the future.
A hypodermic needle and pills were found near his body in his hotel room in Des Moines, Iowa, but the coroner determined that the pills did not contribute to his death.
does that mean no one can disrespect Hitler? just cause someones dead doesn't mean automatic respect, slipknot are talentless hacks anyway, just like all of the other 'hard rock/metal' groups like nickelback, mushroomhead, theory of a deadman, three days grace, saliva, shinedown, seriously, fans may want to put them in the category with slayer and big metal bands of that sort, but they are closer to The nickelback of the metal community. just disgraceful really. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 220.127.116.11 (talk • contribs)

First WirelessHART sensor powered by energy scavenging #pauto
Industrial Wireless Temperature Transmitter Powered by Heat
ABB and Micropelt Prove Thermal Energy Harvesting to Solve the Battery Issue of Wireless Sensors
Freiburg, Germany -- March 10, 2010. Wireless sensors are rather inexpensive and can be deployed almost anywhere. Deploying more sensors would lead to safer and more efficient process control, and much reduced maintenance cost – if cost and effort of battery maintenance could be obviated.
Energy harvesting is used by the ABB R&D Centers Ladenburg, Germany and Daettwil, Switzerland, and Micropelt, Freiburg, Germany to replace the battery with an unlimited, green, sustainable, maintenance-free power supply. As the result of a joint development project an ABB WirelessHART temperature transmitter has been equipped with a thermal energy harvesting unit containing two Micropelt Thermogenerators MPG-D651 with a footprint of 6 mm² each. A temperature gradient of 30°C between the sensed medium and ambient air is sufficient to fully cover the power demand of the mesh-networked wireless instrument. Dr. Marco Ulrich, ABB's project leader, sees a major breakthrough: "Wireless instruments provide for a much more flexible and comprehensive use of sensors at much reduced total cost, particularly under difficult conditions. However, none of our customers can accept having to exchange batteries with hundreds or thousands of instruments on a regular basis. Our technology demonstrator proves the concept of large, complex sensor networks at a fraction of the previously accrued total cost of ownership."
Dr. Joachim Nurnus, Micropelt's CTO, adds to the point: "We certainly save some hundreds of thousands of high power batteries, but far more important are all the additional sensing points which will help producing more energy-efficiently, optimize the utilization of process equipment, and shift to the highly cost-efficient condition-based maintenance. We have only just begun to understand the enormous economical and ecological potential of ubiquitous wireless sensing. Now, we very much look forward to sharing this with our customers along with a host of other self-sustaining wireless demonstrators and prototypes at the upcoming sensors shows in Nuremberg, Germany, in May and Chicago, IL, in June."
I usually don't add the obligatory "about" data from the release, but in this case, I thought Mcropelt is so little known that it would be helpful:
About Micropelt
Micropelt GmbH, a 2006 spin-off from the research cooperation between Infineon Technologies and Fraunhofer Institute IPM Freiburg, develops and markets the world's smallest and most effective thermoelectric elements for clean-tech power generation (energy harvesting) for sensing, cycling and cooling. Readily available standard products from the pilot-production plant at the company's headquarters in Freiburg, Germany are currently being evaluated by and incorporated into the products of more than 40 customers. A large-scale production facility, fully financed and currently under construction in Halle, Sachsen-Anhalt, Germany, is expected to raise capacity to some 10 million devices per year by mid 2010.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 4/7/2013 (1507 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The Winnipeg Jets have filled a significant hole on their depth chart by re-signing goaltender Al Montoya.
The Jets announced today they have inked the Chicago product to a new deal, one day before the National Hockey League free-agent market is to open. Montoya, who earned $601,000 last season, has reportedly signed the same one-year deal for the 2013-14 season.
"I really enjoyed my time last year," said Montoya in a conference call today. "This is a good group, a good team. We came so close last year and, for me, I like the coaching staff and I love working with the goalie coach there, Flats (Wade Flaherty). So, it was pretty simple.
"The city is great, my family liked it and I think the team is moving in the right direction."
Montoya, 28, played in just seven games for the Jets last season while battling a groin injury that sidelined him twice. He finished with a 3-1-0 record, 2.91 goals-against average and .899 save percentage. He also posted the only shutout of the year for the Jets, in a 1-0 victory over Ottawa on Feb. 9th. A former first-round draft pick of the New York Rangers in 2004, Montoya has appeared in 63 career games with the Phoenix Coyotes, New York Islanders and Jets for a 24-18-10 career record, 2.77 career goals against average and 0.906 career save percentage.
Montoya figures to get more playing time this winter, if he is healthy, especially knowing Ondrej Pavelec will likely be part of the Czech team at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia. Asked how many games he might expect to play, Montoya said:
"Oh, who knows. I know it's going to be a crazy year. Injuries were a part of (last year) and it was a screwy year with the lockout and having to take care of your own body with no one else really looking after you in the first half of the year. I feel great now and I'm just excited to get back.
"As for the playing part… with the Olympic break coming up I don't expect the pace of this season to be much different from the last."

Every generation thinks it's invented the wheel -- or the computer or the killer app. But technology in one form or another has been around for a long time, along with tech problems, surprises, and suspicion of foul play. In fact, years ago I inadvertently played a role in a system crash that at first put me under suspicion, then led to a bigger discovery that benefited the manufacturer as well as customers.
This story goes back to the mid-1970s when I was a lieutenant in the U.S. Navy working in computer support for a division of the Defense Communications Agency. Occasionally, my job required a small amount of assembly-level coding. I already had some basic skills in that area, but my boss decided I should attend a two-week advanced assembly-level language class.

The class was in the nearby Washington, D.C., area. For our class "projects," we used a Honeywell mainframe owned and managed by the U.S. Customs Department. Class members were allowed to use time-sharing and could submit batch jobs via punched cards.
I liked this arrangement because we used Honeywell mainframes for several critical and highly classified applications at the Defense Communications Agency. I could do some of the class projects from my office, then turn them in when I got to class.
For one class assignment at the end of the first week, I did my work back in my office over the weekend, but I ran into a small snag. I had heard, and soon confirmed, that the collating sequence for the military version of the Honeywell GCOS operating system was slightly different than the civilian version used by the Customs Department's system. But there was a utility program that could produce a compressed version of the card deck of my code that could then be uncompressed on the Customs Department's computer, so I could then show my work to the instructor.
The first part worked, and I dropped off the card deck the next Monday before class, expecting to pick up my output the next day to turn it in to the instructor. Was I in for a surprise!
When I came in on Tuesday, I couldn't find my card deck among the others. Worried that my class project was lost and I'd have to redo it, I asked the operations person on duty if he knew where my output might be. He asked me who I was, and I told him. He got a strange look on his face and said, "Ohhhh. My manager wants to see you right away."

Our new price increase went into effect last night and I wanted to take a moment to explain the background to it.
As always, we've worked very hard to control costs with our raw ingredient suppliers this year, but some increases were unfortunately unavoidable. Meat prices (in particular turkey and beef) were affected by grain costs which have sky-rocketed in recent months.
Our commitment to not using any ingredients from China means we also have much higher over all expenses because domestic and European produce costs much more. However, we strongly feel that the higher cost is worth the peace of mind.
We continue to maintain two supply options for the majority of our ingredients, so that we're protected to the extent possible from cost increases due to harvest failures in particular regions. As we continue to grow, and see ingredients being planted exclusively for The Honest Kitchen, we're working closely with suppliers to find an economies of scale – with quality of course being our primary focus above everything else. We will pass on any future savings we do see as food markets begin to settle, as we have done in years past.

Spelling Bee Winner, Age 13, Is Aspiring Playwright!
Students wage battle of words
On March 14, in front of an enthusiastic crowd of families, mentors and staff at the East Harlem Center, Joshua Torres was crowned the winner of the first Children's Aid Society Spelling Bee. Joshua, 13, attends our East Harlem Center and is truly a champion speller, advancing through the rounds as the words grew increasingly difficult. His love of words and language has led him to write a screenplay that he intends to turn into a musical.
Twenty-four middle school students from the East Harlem, Dunlevy Milbank and Frederick Douglass Centers were challenged in an official spelling bee environment, using the rules of the University of Wisconsin. Tension ran high as the words got progressively more challenging and the field of contestants narrowed.
The students are part of Children's Aid's Project LIVE (Learning Through Industry and Volunteer Educators) one-on-one mentoring programming. A group of dedicated volunteer mentors worked with the students as they prepared for the Spelling Bee using the Defined Mind learning program. Defined Mind is a curriculum that utilizes popular contemporary music to help students learn the words they will need to excel on their SATs and to succeed in school and in life.
Jessica Gooden and Leoneesha Serrano, both 13 and attending Dunlevy Milbank Center, placed an impressive second and third, respectively. In addition to trophies, Joshua, Jessica and Leoneesha received gift cards. Every participant was awarded a certificate celebrating his or her involvement in the Spelling Bee.
The students all received hearty applause for their efforts and gained not only a knowledge of spelling, but the confidence to stand in front of a crowd.
After the Spelling Bee, the contestants and their guests were treated to a concert by the Defined Mind Band. Rodney Willie and Avon Marshall performed a few of the songs that the students used to prepare for the Spelling Bee.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 25/6/2014 (1149 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
"It's quiet out there. Too quiet."
In the old Hollywood movies, that's the line one of the intrepid explorers utters just before all hell breaks loose in the jungle. But the army chiefs are probably saying it in Thailand, too.
It's just over a month since the Thai army overthrew prime minister Yingluck Shinawatra and took control of the country. The elected government, which had faced months of street protests by an anti-democratic opposition movement that sometimes used violence, knew the coup was coming. Indeed, the demonstrations were explicitly intended to cause a military coup. Yet the government's supporters have remained silent. Curious.
Officially, the army puts this down to popular support for the coup. "Thai people, like me, have probably not been happy for nine years, but since 22 May there is happiness," said Gen. Prayuth Chan-Ocha, the army chief who now rules the country. And his soldiers have been doing their best to prove it, at least in Bangkok, organizing street parties that offer free food and drink, music and dancing, even free haircuts and a petting zoo.
Some Thais clearly are happy about the military coup: They take selfies of themselves with soldiers in riot gear in front of big banners that say HAPPINESS. But their clothes suggest they belong to the prosperous middle class of Bangkok whose constant anti-government demos were intended to trigger the coup, so why shouldn't they be happy?
Others, generally less well-dressed, are a lot less happy. In a striking example of cultural crossover, some of them make the three-fingered salute that is used as a gesture of defiance by the oppressed population in the Hunger Games films when they pass soldiers in the street (although you can get arrested for doing that). But where are the mass protests everybody expected when the long-awaited coup finally happened?
The Thai army has some dozen coups to its discredit, but the country has been democratic most of the time since the mid-1980s. Politics nevertheless remained largely a game played out between rival sections of the Bangkok elite until the 2001 election, when Thaksin Shinawatra, a self-made telecommunications billionaire from humble origins, won a landslide victory.
Thaksin's government openly favoured the downtrodden majority: the mass of poor farmers in the densely populated north and east of the country, and their children who had migrated to the factories of Bangkok.
His welfare policies and cheap government loans began to transform their lives -- but they also aroused the bitter opposition of better-off people in Bangkok and the south.
The army overthrew Thaksin in 2006, and he has lived in exile ever since. Every time the generals handed power back to the civilians, however, they voted in another government loyal to Thaksin: most recently, to one led by his sister, Yingluck Shinawatra, who became prime minister after the 2011 election. By then, the conservative parties had concluded they could never win a free election -- so they decided on "reform" instead.
The street protests that began last November were led by the People's Democratic Reform Committee, which demanded the resignation of Yingluck's government.
The PDRC said it would also disrupt any new elections until a committee of "good people" (chosen by the protesters and their friends at court) reformed the constitution to stop poor or badly educated people from voting. Only then could the right people finally win a "free" election.
That's still the plan, and the army seems to be fully committed to it. The junta leader, Gen. Prayuth Chan-Ocha, says there will be no new elections for up to two years, by which time they will be conducted under a new, "reformed" constitution. So why have the "red shirts" (as the mostly poor supporters of the Shinawatras are known) not taken mass action against the coup, as most observers expected they would? Why is it so quiet out there?
One plausible answer is the leaders of the "red shirts," hoping to avoid a civil war, are waiting for King Bhumibol Adulyadej to die. The 86-year-old king generally sympathizes with the "yellow shirts" (as the coup's civilian supporters are known), but he is in poor health. Crown Prince Maha Vajiralongkorn was close to Thaksin Shinawatra when he was prime minister, and if he succeeds to the throne the whole crisis might be resolved peacefully
But Bhumibol might linger on for years, or the "yellow shirts" might even try to break the rules of succession and put Crown Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn (who favours them) on the throne instead. The disenfranchised majority won't stay quiet forever. What is lurking silently out there in the darkness is a civil war.

A friend of mine wears skirts all the time, and sometimes, simple skirts are great to throw on in the summer when I'm shopping or out with friends.
I ordered the swing skirt in black. It would go with everything, I reasoned, and it looks like a good basic skirt. The only problem was that it's so popular that they were sold out, but eventually my skirt arrived and to my delight, it was perfect. In fact, I've worn it a lot and I'm not even a skirt kind of girl. The material is light and falls well, but it's also substantial so I'm not worrying about it being see through in the sun. The skirt washes up well, and the best part? I can dress it up a little if I need to, or throw on a tank top and sandals and it's a great run around town or wear to a BBQ kind of skirt as well.
When I had to pack to go somewhere, the skirt folded up really small and was great for throwing in my bag for a quick motorcycle trip, and it didn't get all wrinkly and frumpy looking either. In all our travels I've looked for a lot of vacation clothes for women, and don't always find things that look good and will keep from getting all creased up in my bag. I would highly recommend the swing skirt as a women's travel skirt if you want to have something cute to wear that doesn't take up a lot of space.
Fresh Produce ships to Canada, but I would check about having to pay duty or brokerage fees, so you don't have any surprises. They also offer Plus Sizes,kids clothes, and accessories, which can all be kind of fun. When I first ordered my skirt, I misjudged the sizing and ended up with a swing skirt in grey, which is now sitting in my closet, completely unworn. I offered to ship it back, but Fresh Produce encouraged me to give it away.
So, I have this skirt in a size XS, (check out the sizing chart here for measurements) in a medium grey color. Any takers? Let me know in the comments. Whoever nabs it first if you live in Canada, it's yours!
Disclosure: Fresh Produce did not pay me for this post. They asked me to choose something from their site and try it out, which I did-and love!
