I don't want to say that Academic Team is the nerdiest club at school, because then again there are clubs like the Computer Club and Math Team, and we're not that low down.
Academic Team has been stellar. I've been able to answer more answers lately, especially because at today's meeting there was a series of questions about comedies from the 80's, Ghostbusters and Caddyshack being two examples. I nailed those questions like disturbed six-year-old's nail their stuffed animals to the wall.
You can also tell what huge nerds Academic Team members are by what they talk about in their free time. At one point at practice on Monday the sponsor said, "I need to go get something upstairs. I'll be back in two minutes." She closed the door behind her, there was that typical two second silence in the room during which everyone was making sure the teacher was gone, and then someone faced the rest of the team and said, "Who all is going to the Dragon Con. this weekend?"
A dozen excited hands pumped immediately into the air and I had to suppress laughter. They went on to talk about all of the other Nerd Conventions in Atlanta, including a Magic role-playing convention some time in the next month.
Then again, I can't be the dumbest kid on the team, because last Monday I won the President Contest, (I worked so hard to memorize them--my brother says I still murmur them softly in my sleep), and somebody asked how I did it. I told them that my trick that if you take the first letter from the last name of all 44 presidents, it spells out the first few words of the Declaration of Independence. They thanked me for the tip and went off to class.
The good news is that they think the files on my laptop are recoverable. I don't want to bore you with details I don't even understand, but just cross your fingers for me. Preferably your pinky and ring finger if you can manage that. That'd be cool.
Homecoming is coming up this next month or so. I'm trying to decide which female rejections would earn the least attention from the rest of my year. I wish there was no such thing as school dances. They're so complicated. I'd rather just go with the typical,
"Wanna go out this weekend?"
So much simpler and less stupid details like which group of friends to go with and which afterparty to go to and blah blah blah. Why are there such things as afterparties anyway? Isn't one social event bad enough?!
Most importantly, check this out: Rocky Raccoon, by the Beatles. It's a music video for the Beatles song "Rocky Raccoon" WITH BABIES!!! How cool is that? (A: Pretty darn.) This is my favorite song from the Beatles this week right after "Piggies."
See you later, fellas. Take it easy.

The Fifth Nerdiest Club at School and Styrofoam Apples

Worst 14 hours of 2010? Maybe
Hello, all. "All," in the case of The Nerd Archives, referring to me and the three obese, middle-aged men who still read this blog because they can't get over their bad childhoods.
This second week of school was a pretty decent one for me. Not rejected by girls quite as often as is typical for me. I've, more or less, figured out the locker situation so that I don't have a nervous breakdown every time I unload my books into my locker. I even joined the Academic Team, which is tons of fun, even though I don't contribute very much.
And then yesterday was Friday. I was psyched for the weekend, (yes I just used that word--you're not imagining things), and I still had tiny little nerd butterflies in my stomach after one of the hottest girls in my year said hello to me. Was she taking pity on me? Almost definitely. Did I care? Not at all.
I came home, finished most of my homework, went roller-blading for the first time in ages, and even watched a re-run of Psych. James Roday is getting fat, but the show is just as lovable.
It was at about 10:30 that I turned on my computer, only to find that it had "automatically reset" itself so that a new computer account had been created, and my old account had been erased. I lost all of my files and all of my software. The only data I still have from my old account is from four dusty back-up disks I used practically half a year ago.
Everything I've written on my computer since then is lost, including about 50 pages of the novel I've been working on for about a year now.
I went to bed depressed and hopeless, and woke up in the same manner. To cap it all of, my mom made bran muffins for breakfast this morning. That may not seem tragic to you, but you haven't been forced at gunpoint to eat one.
Am I being melodramatic? Yes. As a teenager, though, I claim that right--and I refuse to be reasonable or calm in this situation.
Good. Day.

Salvador Dali and a Crippled Ken Doll
Back at school. Hurrah, hurray. I've made the socially-suicidal decision to join the Academic Team. That's beyond low--it can't even be neutralized by joining the track team. But it'll be fun. All the people there are really nice. One girl there is really hot even though she's an Anime fanatic--(I have to make the best of my options, people.) In addition to this, I'm doing the Art Club and Buddhist Philosophy Club. What a combination. This makes me an artsy, nerdy Buddhist.
I had a decent weekend too. I went to the Salvador Dali exhibit at the High Museum with a friend. I enjoyed the exhibit, even though I was constantly being verbally assaulted by the person I went with. The first thing she tells me is that I smell bad, and she also tells me which of my jokes aren't funny. Flattery, yeah? I was also chasing her the whole time. Don't ask me why....
I nearly got a Dali mustache at the gift shop, but I ended up with the practical option--a print of the painting Clocks, which will last longer at the very least.
Also went to the Folk Art Festival the same day. Very fun, weird art. And, yes, it's folk. Who imagined that all of the artists at any given art festival would be wearing overalls or Sci-Fi t-shirts.
And yesterday, I was assigned to make a diorama for English. It was depicting the theme of persevering through given obstacles in Garth Stein's novel The Art of Racing in the Rain. I left it way too late, but at one point I got to saw the legs off of my sister's old Ken Doll. Surprisingly, there was little to no moral conflict. It was like I was Anna Wilkes and it was Paul Sheldon.
Guys, where have you all gone? 30 followers and not one has commented for the last several weeks.

Refusal to Return a Head Nod
First week of school is almost over. It's been hectic, just like high school ought to be. My grade got a new set of lockers this year, but they're in rows and they're all really close together. So close together, in fact, that it's next to impossible to get in and out. I'm serious--it's a huge issue. It's like the army...or the Holocaust. I had to wait ten minutes yesterday to get from my locker to the outside of the locker complex.
Those lockers could lure out the claustrophobia in anyone--even Houdini, I imagine. Today I had a nervous breakdown at the lockers. I just threw down my books and shouted, "That's it! I've had it! I'm never coming back here again! That's right--I'm leaving. You can say your goodbye's now." Of course, nobody said goodbye, and it wasn't a very dramatic exit because...I couldn't leave.
On a different note, any of you read Be More Chill by Ned Vizzini? The main character, Jeremy, kept record of all of the bad things that happened to him socially at school. He had a chart with sections like "Snotty Comment" or "Snicker" or "People whispering behind my back." One of these such sections was dedicated to "Refusal to Return a Head Nod." This is the one I'm concerned with. Today that happened nearly ten times. At the end of the day, when I finally got to see some of my better friends, the first thing I asked them was, "You can see me, right?" I had to make sure I wasn't experiencing the same thing as Nick Powell in The Invisible.
Worse, I'm never just nod my head. I'm not subtle with those things. I'm the type of guys to wave my hand frantically in the air at someone I know and to nearly shout, "Hey, dude brother!" How can you not respond to that?
Enough of my social plots. Today we discussed summer reading books in small groups. One of the books I read was The Art of Racing in the Rain. Brilliant book, I definitely suggest it. There is this one part where a stuffed animal zebra rapes a teddy bear, but that's another story.
Thanks for reading, but where'd you all go? Everyone who used to read is gone!

First Day of School and Half-Hearted Followers
A small observation: I feel a guilty mixture of amusement and horror every time I see how the seniors treat the freshmen at my school. They refuse to move slightly to the right or left in the instance that a freshman is walking directly toward them--the freshman always has to move.
Today at lunch I was eating at the lounge...and I saw a senior walk up to a table of freshmen. He says, "Where'd ya get those sandwiches?" One freshman piped up nervously, "Over there, at that bar." The senior says, "I don't want to walk that far. I think I'll have yours." The freshman, looking pitiful, offers up his sandwich in surrender.
High school is a brutal place, especially for us nerds.
Onto my next topic, guys what happened to my readers?! Yeah, I know I've had a mite of trouble updating this blog every other day, but I try my best! Where's your effort? So far my comments pretty much come from Muse and that's it. (By the way, an enthusiastic pat on the back for you, Muse.) I'm disappointed. I miss you all--where'd you go all of a sudden?
...I need you.

My Alarming and Secretive Relationship with Harry Potter
This post has been long-await, although only by me. (I very much doubt that any of you have left at the edge of your seats in anticipation of this post.) At multiple points during the lifetime of this modest blog, I have made confessions that I am not a fan of Star Trek, I am not a fan of Star Wars. I don't read comics and I don't watch Anime. I'm not very fond of 3-D movies and cannot even be credited as a half-hearted Sci-Fi enthusiast. Hearing of superheroes, spies, and aliens tire me; and I have never played a role-playing game of Magic while dressed in a star-spangled wizard's cape from Party City. What then, you might ask, makes me a nerd aside from lack of social skills? I will tell you...
No, I did not link to a Wikipedia page explaining the background of Harry Potter or something of that sort. I fairly assumed that any reader of The Nerd Archives is also a fan of Harry Potter. If you have watched the movies but failed to read the books, I have no further interest in you. Go run off and make some friends or go outside. If you have not read the books, seen the movies, or heard of Harry Potter...you, sir, are unfit to lick the mud off the Chosen One's British tennis shoes.
I will start my story from the beginning.
'Twas a long time ago in the town of Beaumont, Texas. I was a young lad who still believed that the stork brought babies and that God cared about me...and one day my mother brought me on a trip to the movies theaters. I was delighted, even though she made me use the women's restroom instead the men's. I was delighted, you see, because the first Harry Potter film. Had just come out. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.
I am one to believe in fate, because if my mom had not allowed me to see that movie that certain day, I might not be the obsessive and delusional Harry Potter fanatic that I am today. The movie was rated PG, and my mother--being both a mother and a priestess--was reluctant to let me see it. I threw a perfect little tantrum, though, banging my tiny fists on the ground and whatnot. Maybe it was that, or maybe it was the persuasive hand of destiny, that softened her heart and let me see the movie.
I was young then. I was naive, short, and it was hard to understand me when I talked. But that day my empty head was filled with stories of witches and wizards and magic and good and evil and British accents. I left the movie theater with a grin on my face and a buzzing in my head--and I was smiling for six weeks after watching that movie.
I saw Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets after that and found it just as delightful. It was after the viewing of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban that I felt inclined to read the books that inspired these magical films. So I read them.
The books were to me like artificial pacemakers are to victims of heart disease--I depended on them. I devoured their words thirstily, bordering on obsession. I read all the way up to the sixth book in the span of a few weeks. After that, I waited a terribly long year, and read them again. After that, I read them again.
Finally, the seventh book was going to be released. All I could think about was attending that midnight party at Barnes and Noble. I heard stories that there would be the most hallucinatory and unhealthy Harry Potter fanatics in Atlanta. I heard of costumes that would stray from the typical Harry, Ron, and Hermione...and venture to Hagrid and Dumbledore and the Womping Willow. I was ecstatic.
My parents were staying in Maine for two weeks, and unfortunately my conservative aunt had been staying with us for the past week. She thought Harry Potter was about as holy under God's eyes as Catholicism, (which she considered a cult.) My parents had given her explicit orders to let us attend the midnight Harry Potter worship session, but she refused. It was until the next day, at the outrageous time of 9:43 AM, that she drove us to Barnes and Noble to purchase a copy of the book. She waited an extra day so she could be there for the CD signing with Taylor Hicks.
I was devastated. You see, I'm a fan of incomprehensible Harry Potter knowledge. I'm a legend on online Harry Potter quizzes. I've memorized all there is to memorize. I know spells and curses better than any wizard in the book does. I thought I would get a letter accepting me into Hogwarts for three years of my life. But I can never claim to have ever been to a Harry Potter party.
This is what makes me a nerd--Harry Potter. I cringe every time my mother or sister mix up their Harry Potter facts, and I clench my fists every time I hear that someone has seen the movies but not read the books. I am unstoppable.
Since then, I have come to despise the movies. I would tell you why, but I couldn't stop myself if I started. I have read the Harry Potter series five times in all, and have a shrine for him in my closet.
Thank you for reading.

A Strange Thought: The First Kiss
Just a little thought: I think the image of the first kiss is overrated. People put too much value into it. The first kiss is totally meaningless. First kisses, if we're excluding those given by relatives, are often unremarkable and forgettable.
If you need an example, my first kiss was in kindergarden with a girl who I had punched earlier in the day. I was heading off to carpool, minding my own business--probably wearing some Power Ranger backpack with a teddy bear poking its head out. And there she was--about three and a half feet tall. She landed one on me with her lips puckered, and swiveled around to grab her mom's hand and walk away. How memorable is that?
My second kiss was pretty much the same. My third kiss was in the middle of a Boy Scouts meeting, in maybe third grade or so. (You can see where this is going. Are there any girls at Boy Scout meetings?) I was listening attentively to the leader run on about building tents or some of that helpful nonsense, when I felt wee little dry lips on the side of my mouth. I nearly fell out of my seat as I jerked backward to see what pathetic boy had just tried to kiss me.
And there he was, with an innocent expression on his face, like "Yeah, something wrong?" He stared at the disgusted expression on my face for a bit, then wiped his mouth. I didn't even answer, I just relocated to the other end of the room.
So the first few kisses are meaningless. They really are. The concept of the first kiss has become somewhat of an icon. We need to change that. Let's make it the Fourth or So Kiss that people write teen novels and magazine essays about.
Thanks for reading. Good day. Wonderful day.

Fact: Nerds Scare Small Children
I've been counseling at a kids' day camp for the past week. I bring home $1.00 an hour and a throbbing headache.
I don't get along well with the wee ones, which is especially painful because my father is notorious for being loved by younger kids. I'm not sure if I frighten them, disgust them, or if I'm just uninteresting to them--about as worthy of their curiosity as the lady bug that had just landed on my knee.
For every 20 kids there who dislike me, there's just one that's totally obsessed with me...which is sad, because there are only like 45 kids at the camp. Worst of all, we're graded by the head counselors at the end of the week. I try. I really do. But it's hard to ignore the terrified looks on the kids' faces after I ask them about their day.
That's enough about that. It really is. I'm throttling my self-esteem just thinking about it.
Please, please, please, please, PLEASE, PLEASE check out the post before this one about Sarah Silverman. She, like Jerry Seinfeld, is a comedy machine. She is consistently funny and exhales quality jokes like they're air. Silverman is brilliant.
Also--can't resist this one--here's my favorite clip from the movie Juno. I also love what Su-Chin is chanting. "All babies want to get borned. All babies want to get borned."
On yet another totally unrelated note, I just finished the movie 500 Days of Summer for my second time in two days. I'm not even going to begin to talk about how much I loved that movie, because I really know I wouldn't be able to stop.
But still, if you haven't seen the movie, SEE THE MOVIE. It's easily the best romantic comedies I've ever seen, and arguably one of my favorite movies of all time. I loved it, despite the fact that it is a romantic comedy.
Plus, Zooey Deschanel! HOT! She's up there on the list with Amy Adams and Keira Knightley.
Better go now. Thanks for reading!

Asimov (music inspired by the writings of) by Lee Rosevere
Album Description
TAGGED AS:spacey, space, outer space, sci-fi, experimental, See More...
TAGGED AS:spacey, space, outer space, sci-fi, experimental, soundtrack, asimov, See Less...
An album of original music, inspired by the writings of Isaac Asimov. Each track is named after the corresponding short-story that inspired it.
Click for the front and back artwork, and the liner notes are available as in .doc format as well as .jpg, reprinted below:
I realized after completing this album, that it would be more beneficial to the listener if they were familiar with the stories the songs are titled after.
Instead of posting the stories here (and risking some serious copyright infringement), I've written some notes as to my impressions of the stories and how the music was created around those. Although, for the best experience I would strongly urge you to seek out the stories you're not familiar with.
1. Multivac
Although Asimov doesn't have a story directly named after the super-computer, it does appear in many of his sci-fi stories, and is related to many of the stories that inspired
these compositions. So, it is fitting as it serves a bit of a 'overture', combining little pieces of sounds stretched over the infinity of time.
2. Dreaming is a private thing
A company that sells high-quality 'dreams' for those that cannot dream, is threatened by competitors who cheapen the experience for mass consumption.
There are so many interesting elements in this story that can applied to our current world in so many ways... least of all the dangers of selling the act of private creation: our world where originality is not valued as much as copying or repeating what's been done before (not a matter of using the past to create something new, but simply re-creating it with cruder methods and no context), combining that with the commodification of something that so personal is terrifying.
Are we that uncapable of doing anything for ourselves? The drums and bass guitar play the 'predictable' parts (the Luster-think) while the "Dreams Inc" tries to fly above it.
3. The Machine That Won The War:
----> watch or download the video
After defeating the Denebians, humans credit their all-knowning Multivac computer for the victory. But inside the computer, what do the humans tasked with feeding information into it do when given unreliable information? The sound of a flipped coin is hidden somewhere inside in the song...
4. It's Such A Beautiful Day
Sometimes society gets wrapped up in their own routine, failing to notice the sheer beauty that surrounds them on a daily basis, until a moment of chance changes everything.
5. Eyes Do More Than See
Matter does matter - probably one of Asimov's strangest stories (personally speaking), even with it's emotional ending.
6. The Dead Past
One of my favourite stories from his collection - not so far from the real world, as a home-made 'chronoscope' (a device that allows viewing of any place or time from up to 80 years ago) makes security and privacy a thing of the past.
7. Gimmicks Three
A fun little story about a man who tricks a demon into keeping demonic powers and remains undamned. The music doesn't reflect the narrative directly, just some of the more disturbing demonic variety.
8. The Ugly Little Boy
Two opposing melodic lines represent the story of the Nurse who looks after the "ugly little boy" from a prehistoric time, and the scientists who brought him (through time-travel) into our world and regard him as simply an experiment. Eventually, the two meet through force and the unknown takes over.
9. The Last Question
A brief story about the end of mankind, and the dawn of New Age of the Multivac. Or was the Multivac the creator all along?
10. Nightfall
One of Asimov's most famous stories, the music attempts to re-create the world that knows nothing but daylight. Unsettling, but bright sounds hint at the looming darkness that must come, ending with the crescending voices of fear and madness.
Interestingly, this piece was first constructed in the exact opposite manner that it is presented here... feel free to play it backward for a more happy ending.

The Central Connecticut men's soccer team fell to Belmont on Friday night 3-2. The game was finished well after regulation, going into two overtime periods. The Blue Devils fall to 1-4-0 on the season after the loss. They have dropped four straight games on the road.
The Bruins appeared on the score board first as Brandon Tarr put in his first goal of the night in the 15th minute of the first period. The assist came from teammate Nico Olsak.
Senior captain Reece Wilson struck first for Central, netting the Blue Devils' first goal of the game in the 63rd minute of action. Wilson scored off of an assist from classmate Thomas Obasi answering Belmont's first goal of the game. The goal was Wilson's first score of the 2012 season.
After the score being locked up at 1-1 going into the half, Central netted the first goal of the second period putting in a shot at the 63rd minute of play. Junior Eddy Bogle scored his third goal of the season off of an assist from senior Jesse Menzies.
Tarr of Belmont struck again as he took yet another assist from Olsak and scored the Bruin's second goal of the game to knot it up at 2-2.
Neither team could cut the tie before the end of regulation, sending the game into it's first overtime period. After three combined shots from both teams, two from Central and one from Belmont, the first overtime period ended with the same 2-2 result.
Brandon Tarr of Belmont earned a hatrick as the Bruins edged Central with under two minutes remaining in the second overtime. All three assists were made by Bruin teammate Nico Olsak as he fed Tarr in the 108th minute of play to score the Bruin's game winning goal.
The shot count proved to be even between both teams after two regulation periods and two overtime periods. Belmont slightly edged the Blue Devils in shots on goal with nine over Central's eight.
Sophomore Rafal Krauze saw his first start in goal for Central Connecticut on Friday night playing for 45 minutes in the box. He tallied two saves off of three shots on goal and let up one goal in the contest. Junior Josef Abele picked up the loss after totaling 63 minutes in goal for the Blue Devils. He managed four saves off of six shots on goal.
The Blue Devils return to the pitch on Sunday, September 16th as they face off against Lipscomb at 1:05 p.m. (EST). Sunday's match will conclude competition for the Blue Devils at the Belmont University Invitational.

Man, 30, charged with attempted murder after boy, 15, contracts HIV after sex
A 30-year-old Sunrise man is charged with attempted second-degree murder and criminal transmission of the AIDS virus, along with five other charges involving sex with a 15-year-old boy, according to Pembroke Pines police.
Keith "Keyoko" Sumlin was arrested Wednesday after the boy told his mother the two had sex and that he later heard the older man was HIV positive, according to a police report.
The mother took her son to Memorial Regional Hospital in Hollywood for an HIV test. The preliminary result was positive, according to the report.
Before they had sex, Sumlin said he was 21 and asked the boy, "Are you really 18 years old?" according to the police report.
From the report: "The def asked 'Are you really 18 years old,' and the victim replied 'no.' The def then asked, 'Are you 17,' at which point the victim replied, 'Younger.'"
The teen later told a friend that he had met Sumlin via a mobile phone app and that he had invited the man to his home in Pembroke Pines, where they had sex without condoms.
The friend told the boy that Sumlin was HIV positive and "has a secret Facebook page wherein he posts videos of himself engaging in anal sex with males that appear to be under the age of 18," according to the police report.
Pembroke Pines police detective Michael Silver wrote in his report that during the investigation he viewed a video of Sumlin posted on a social networking website.
"I f---ed this little boy, videotaped it and added it to the online group," Sumlin said in the video, according to the police report. "And I don't use condoms when I have sex and you call me sick, don't worry about me, worry about who gave it to them."
Sumlin, who is being held at the Broward County Jail on $280,000 bond, told police he had sex with the teenager but wore a condom, the report states.
Police believe there may be more victims. If you have any information, call Pembroke Pines police at 954-436-3200.

Jason Rosenblum's '41 Chevy
It's one thing when a guy says he's been interested in old trucks since he was kid, and yet entirely another when a kid tells you he's actually customized a classic truck. Our case in point is 18-year-old Jason Rosenblum of Farmingdale, New Jersey, and his '41 Chevy pickup. It all started when Jason was 11 years old and his parents gave him the okay to get on eBay and dig something up. Jason's dad, Barry Rosenblum, recognized at a very early age Jason was displaying a lot of the advanced mechanical tendencies his grandfather had. With his parents backing, it didn't take Jason long to find the '41 for sale in Iowa for $1,500 and arrange to have it shipped to New Jersey. For the first few years, Jason tinkered with the '41 by sanding on rust holes and cleaning off the cobwebs acquired by sitting in a barn all those years, but admitted it was pretty overwhelming. Then around the time Jason entered high school, Barry asked Joe Baird of Shelbyville, Indiana, to enter the picture. Before Joe took on the job, he spoke with Jason a little bit and recognized the kid really had a keen interest in this stuff. Joe's shop, Joe Baird Antique Cycles & Racecars, is located in the 183,000 square-foot building Joe bought from Jason's grandfather. Before Jason's grandfather used the massive warehouse to manufacture kitchen cabinets under the name Excel Wood Products, it was used by Admiral to produce radio and television sets.
Each summer Jason would show up and Joe mentored the kid, providing him with a rare opportunity to learn skills the bulk of his generation will never know existed. They started with the stock '41 frame and installed a Total Cost Involved 4-inch-dropped Mustang II-style clip with Flaming River rack-and-pinion steering. To strengthen the '41 rails to handle a V-8 transplant, the 'rails were boxed and eventually the frame ended up painted to match the truck's body. A '40 Ford gas tank from Bob Drake handles fuel storage with access from inside the bed. For rear suspension, Joe custom-fabbed a four-link and installed a Panhard bar to keep it located. RideTech ShockWaves hang off the Ford 9-inch rearend packed with 3.50:1 gears. For tires and wheels, the '41 rolls on Michelin Pilot tires stuffed into 17-inch Budniks at fore, and 19-inch Budniks at aft. A chrome-plated Covette master cylinder, and brake booster punch DOT 4 brake fluid through a Ford proportioning valve thanks to a '66 Pontiac brake pedal assembly. Directional changes are handled via a Flaming River steering column topped with a Flaming River shrunken vintage Corvette steering wheel. The dashboard was plucked out of a '59 Chevy Impala and fitted with digital gauges readily available from Dakota Digital. The sound system features Pioneer products and the seatbelts are from Juliano's.
For upholstery, the truck was shipped down to Joe's old stomping grounds in Louisville, Kentucky, where Larry Sneed stitched red leather over a pair of Lincoln Navigator buckets and Ultrasuede in the overhead console. A Lokar shifter is used for gear-changing the '41's 4L60E transmission managed by a TCI control module. Under the hood sits a 6L 2006 Chevrolet truck motor pulled from a rollover with only 10,000 miles on the clock. To rid the LS1 of its octopus eating an air-conditioner appearance, the stock fuel injection was pitched in favor of an Edelbrock Performer LS1 kit. The Edelbrock four-barrel carb and manifold LS1 kit is a really clean retrofit solution without losing much horsepower on the top end.
The exterior of Jason's '41 is where things really look different. Joe Baird said there were at least forty-two major changes that contribute to the Chevy's radical departure from its stock appearance. The first and most obvious is its deep 4½-inch chop with a cab full of dark-tinted glass by Adam's Glass Shop. The '37 Ford hood and front fenders are another area where major custom fabrication has taken place. The left side of the hood was flipped to the right side, and followed up with steel sheets formed to make up the running board. On the left side, the right hood side was flipped to match the opposite side, and ditto for the running board. In the tradition of the bed on the Rod & Custom "Dream Truck" where Bob Metz of Shelbyville, Indiana, had rounded the front bedrails to contour with the cab many years ago, Joe shaped the '41's bedrails. Indy racer Bernie Hallisky is the guy responsible for custom-making the front bumpers and roll pan. The "home of chrome" since 1970, Shelby Plating handled all of the brightwork on the '41.
The paint on Jason's '41 was done in-house by Baird's; it's a special mix using DuPont products from start to finish.

Dying Kodak doesn't have to leave its jewels to Apple, says court
Attempt to clear out grandma's sideboard stymied
Failed camera biz Eastman Kodak says it has been given permission by the bankruptcy court to sell patents that Apple claims it owns.
Kodak won approval on Monday to go ahead with a planned auction of 1,100 patents, known as the Digital Capture and Imaging Systems and Services portfolios, the firm said.
"We are gratified that the court has enabled us to move ahead with our patent auction in a timely manner and with clarity on ownership for the winning buyer," Timothy Lynch, top intellectual property officer at Kodak, said in a canned statement.
According to the bankrupt company, it can sell the portfolios "free and clear" of Apple's claims at an auction.
Apple and ex-Apple subsidiary FlashPoint had earlier filed motions with the court to stop the sale, which is expected in early August. Both alleged that they own the same ten patents from the portfolio.
The designs in question were developed during the 1990s when Kodak and Apple were working together, and the fruity firm has claimed ownership of the blueprints. FlashPoint, however, said it bagged the patents from Apple when it ceded from the Cupertino firm.
Kodak said the patents would now be sold in a process overseen by the court and the highest bidder could "obtain an order that protects it against any third-party ownership claims".
Naturally, the hard-up company is saying that Apple and FlashPoint's allegations are totally without merit, but it doesn't matter anyway because it can still offload the portfolio by getting protection from the court. However, Kodak said the court had allowed it to "sell the patents subject to Apple and FlashPoint's claims, if mutually agreed between Kodak and the winning bidder".
"Today's ruling provides a court-approved process allowing buyers to acquire the patents free and clear of all ownership allegations, regardless of the status of the dispute with Apple and Flashpoint at the time of closing," Lynch added.
As well as filing its objections in the bankruptcy court, Apple also started a lawsuit in the district court and said that's where patent disputes properly belong. Kodak accused the iPhone-maker of "frivolous" suits that threatened to scupper its bankruptcy proceedings.
The camera company said it will be seeking a dismissal of the district court case in July. Apple had no comment on the decision. ®

Rule #1 - Be Patient - Rule #2 - Don't ask when, if you don't contribute - Rule #3 - You have coding skills - LinuxMCE's small brother is available: http://www.agocontrol.com
Hi - I am new to linuxmce and am starting to learn more about it. Before I found Linuxmce I came across an interesting approach to Internet TV: Miro (http://www.getmiro.com/). I'm not quite sure what the long term strategy is for Linuxmce (is it meant to replace DVD players, cable boxes, my alarm system box, all of the above) but I thought an interesting strategy would be to support some form of Internet TV. This would differentiate LinuxMCE from all the other things I've seen because it could do all the things it does now and provide a platform to watch Internet TV on my big screen. (I'm not a developer so I can't do this myself
It is possible to use videos downloaded by Miro in LinuxMCE already. You simply need to "fix" the permissions on the LinuxMCE videos folder (/home/public/videos/) and perhaps create a miro folder in there, then in the Miro options (on your Kubuntu desktop) point Miro to download to that folder (if you don't fix the permissions it won't let you change to that folder for saving). Once you do that, start downloading some videos and they'll show up in the Videos section of LinuxMCE shortly. The one downside (and a reason for more tightly integrating it) is that some shows don't use a nice file naming convention, they assume you'll be using the RSS for your metadata and so when looking in LinuxMCE all you'll see is some obscure filename. Thankfully many publishers are slightly smarter than that.

94 HASKINS & SELLS December T H E average person who has had no oc-casion to give particular thought to the matter would probably be shocked by a statement to the effect that the government of the United States has no provision whereby there is drawn up in advance a general financial program for the operation of the government. Under the present plan the appropriation bill and other bills calling for the disbursement of funds originate with the legislative branch of the government. Such bills may be reported out at any time during the session; hence, it is difficult to determine how much the government plans to spend until the legislative branch adjourns and the President has either signed or vetoed the bills. There is now (December 1, 1919) before the Senate a bill introduced in the House by Mr. Good of Iowa, (H.R. 9783) the purpose of which is to provide a national budget system and an independent audit of government accounts. This bill passed the House on October 21, 1919. The bill provides for a budget bureau and an accounting department. The former would be established in the President's office; the latter would take over the functions of the Comptroller of the Treasury and the auditors for the various departments and would be under the direction of an officer to be known as the Comptroller General. The bill takes the estimates of appropriations out of the hands of the Secretary of the Treasury and requires that they shall be submitted to the President. The latter, with the assistance of the Budget Bureau, is required "to transmit to Congress on the first day of each regular Session after the calendar year 1919, a document to be known as a budget and to contain (1) balanced statements of revenues and expenditures for the preceding fiscal year, (2) of the resources and liabilities at the close of the year, (3) estimates of revenues and expenditures (a) for the current fiscal year, and (b) of the revenues and expenditures needed for the ensuing year." The Budget Bureau contemplates two functions; one to conduct investigations and compile data from the various government departments; the other to assist the President in the preparation of a budget. The Comptroller General would be authorized to investigate matters relating to the receipt and expenditure of public funds and to submit to Congress at the beginning of each regular session a report on the work of the Accounting Department with recommendations as to legislation deemed necessary to facilitate prompt rendition and settlement of government accounts. The Comptroller General would have access to all books and records of the executive departments and the power to enforce from such departments any information desired. A National Budget System

My husband caught a small, two-foot rockfish (striped bass) in the last week of the open season - it was the perfect size to feed four. I did this pretty little piece of fish justice with this amazing recipe that I found on Food.com. I can't wait to make this again - you can use any mild, white, flaky fish. I served it with roasted brussel sprouts and these yummy and beautiful stacked potatoes. Enjoy! Wishing you best dishes and yummy dreams!

Love the folded flower look? For hands-on instruction and tons of fabulous Fold-It Swirls projects, head to our Paper Wishes Weekly Webisodes archive to check out 2 Fold-It Swirls segments: Fold-It Swirls Template and Fold-It Swirls Punches!
Laura Nicholas
A tip from Laura: I accented the border on this mini album page with a series of five folded flower shapes tucked halfway under the border. Rather than tucking half of the shape under the border, you might also try cutting the folded shapes in half and tucking the cut edge under the border. This will minimize the amount of bulk under the border and allow it to lay flat. To tie the flowers in with the rest of the layout and allow the viewer to see the whole flower shape, I added one whole flower overlapping the edge of the border and one underneath the photo. Attaching the folded flowers with a brad in the center of each also ensures that all the folded petals stay in place.

Are you an ADAPTIVE ScrumMaster?
As a Certified Scrum Coach (CSC) I do a lot of work with ScrumMasters in organisations who are looking to find new ways to engage their teams and move their Scrum implementations forward past the basic Scrum framework. When Coaching ScrumMasters I recommend they try to become more ADAPTIVE. As you might have guessed from the fact that the word is capitalised, it is an acronym for a number of behaviours. Following on from my blog post about ScrumMasters getting RE-TRAINED, an ADAPTIVE ScrumMaster:
- Helps the team to hold themselves ACCOUNTABLE
- Leads the team to DIVERGE before they converge
- Helps the team take ACTION to improve
- Asks POWERFUL questions to make them think about the root cause of their challenge
- Encourages the team to TRY something new
- Ensures everyone is INVOLVED as much as possible
- Makes data VISIBLE to help the team investigate and the organisation improve
- Names the ELEPHANT in the room
A good Scrum team is mature enough to explore many options before making commitments to each other and then hold themselves accountable as to whether they achieve them or not. If they don't manage to achieve their commitments (or even if they do!) they will treat that as a learning opportunity and find ways to improve, feeling comfortable enough to experiment with new ideas or theories.
Self-organisation is a very new concept to many teams and so the help of an attentive ScrumMaster is incredibly important to facilitate this new way of working and, of course, an investment of time for them to grow. ScrumMasters often need to develop their enabling and people-facilitation skills and this is something that comes with time and practice but can be helped along tremendously by learning from existing techniques. I am lucky enough to have been exposed to multiple teams in varied industries across multiple countries over the last 10 years. Along the way I have picked up, and created, many techniques that have been helpful to teams working with Scrum.
If you would like to learn more about these areas and, in particular, learn some specific tools, techniques and games related to them, then perhaps you might consider attending my Advanced ScrumMaster class.
One of the things I focus on in my Advanced ScrumMaster class is providing tools, techniques and games to help ScrumMasters be more ADAPTIVE. It's good fun, practical and hands-on with techniques you can take away and use with your teams straight away. You don't need to BE "advanced" to attend and you don't even have to be a ScrumMaster (Product Owners have found this class equally valuable) so don't worry about that! If you are part of a Scrum team, or even just work with a Scrum team and are keen to find new, fun and interesting ways to help them improve then pop along.
I offer coaching support to individuals who are bold enough to develop themselves and maximise their potential.

Archery Sights: Things to Consider on How to Choose: Archery Sight Tape
If you are an archery hunter or planning to become one, then you should know the importance of having archery sights. The sight on the bow will either make or break your hunting experience. When you want to take that clean shot and make it count which is the main purpose of your hunting, then the sights matter.
Using a bow sight that comes with good quality is vital for success. In this article, we will read about some of the important things which you should look for when purchasing an archery sight. There are three main things which matter a lot when hunting, which are accuracy, durability, and the ease of use.
The bow sight has to shoot accurately to help you hit the target. Otherwise it is of no use. Depending on the distance you plan to shoot, you need to make use of the sight. This is when you can consider making use of adjustable or sliding sights. Good sights come with very high adjustability.
When you are able to adjust the sights, you can hit the target without many problems.
The material of the bow sight is also vital for your hunting cause. Unless you are making use of a quality material, it is not going to last you and sometimes during shots, it will fail you. When you are making use of a bow sight with bright fiber optics, then the pins will not break and bend. The breaking and bending problems happen often in poor quality sights.
Hence you will avoid making use of low quality materials which can become damaged easily.
Ease of use
The hunting equipments you use should be easy and simple to handle. Archers sort of find it extremely difficult to make use of tools which are light and safe. That way hunting becomes easier as the weight of the equipment do not wear you down when taking aim. It is not surprising one bit to notice that experienced archers making use of Allen wrench tools that enable them to adjust the set up.
When they are sighted properly, you can effortlessly take aim and shoot. The chances of your hitting the target with the help of this tool give you an advantage. Go for a light weight tool.
Whether you are a professional or amateur hunter, you will want to know that the archery sights for hunting are crucial and the end results depend a lot on it. Only when you are able to choose the right kind of sight which suits your action and skill, you know that you can succeed or at least hit few targets.
When you want to ensure that your sights are good then always see to that you have the ease of use, accuracy, and durability. Hence choosing your bow sights wisely enables you to perform and exhibit your talents on and off the range. You can also immensely improve on your hitting percentage, which is the first reason you need sights.

I have broken the categories down fairly well. However, sometimes you don't know which category to look through. Luckily, there's an easy fix to that problem. There is a way to strictly search the library for what you need.
In the upper right hand corner of the resource library, there is a button to strictly search the library(see thumbnail). This should take you to all links that you are searching for.

Let's admit it: Torrey Smith is correct.
The Ravens receiver met with reporters Monday and spoke honestly about Saturday's 38-35 playoff victory over the Denver Broncos that catapulted Baltimore into an AFC title-game rematch with the New England Patriots.
A fair point.
The Ravens resembled anything but the AFC's second-best outfit down the stretch. A slumping offense and tired defense did nothing to foretell the double-overtime stunner over Denver, the AFC's hottest team heading into the weekend.
That title arguably now applies to the Ravens. Some want to pin Baltimore's January surge on emotions attached to the pending retirement of Ray Lewis, but back-to-back playoff wins have more to do with tangible improvements on the field.
The Ravens rolled the dice on offense against Denver, triggering a rare, near-perfect performance from quarterback Joe Flacco, who found Smith three times for 98 yards and a pair of scores.

The Ravens will be challenged to duplicate that effort against the Patriots, but Smith dismissed any weight attached to last year's crushing loss to Tom Brady and friends.
"Last year is in the past. We came up a few plays short," Smith said. "We're a different team now."
This time, we believe him.

My friend is making a film...
Here you can chat about anything that's not Warriors related.
Moderators: Mr. Crackerz, JREED, Guybrush, 32
Postbellum means "existing after a war." This film delves into that meaning through the mind & heart of our main character, Corporal Sean Gara. A late 20's physically disabled veteran who is misunderstood by society and is pressured by his love ones to get help when he might be the only one who sees things clearly. Using my own experiences of losing my only brother, a 4 year battle with cancer that resulted in the amputation of my arm, and current events we explore postbellum.
And he's looking for backers:
https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/post ... ationships
Sorry to ask JREED but in that description where it says "lost my own brother to cancer", that isn't you having lost your own brother is it?
My condolences if so and blessings to you and your family for enduring that if in fact that is the case
My condolences if so and blessings to you and your family for enduring that if in fact that is the case

At this link you will find a letter that denounces NASA's support of Climate Change having human activity as a major cause: http://www.livescience.com/19643-nasa-astronauts-letter-global-warm...
On that webpage you can find a link to the report regarding this letter.
If their motive is looked at carefully, what would we find?

I covered that too, and dying off is important to the narrative because it's the alternative explanation to moving for *why they aren't there*.
No it isn't. It is compatible. Some died and the rest moved away. Doesn't change the fact that European diseases did most of them in.
So... what are you disagreeing with me about? European diseases is part of dying off... I agree with all of these things! lol
And still, none of this relates to climate change.
You and I are talking about different eras. The indian population I speak of died out about 1100-1300 CE, before any Europeans came to the America's. As far as archeologists can tell, they were wiped out by massive droughts that occurred in sync with little ice ages.
For more information, consult:
Brody, J.J. "The Anasazi: Ancient Indian People of the American Southwest, Rizzoli, New York, 1990.
Hohmann, John W., and L. B. Kelley. "Erich F Schmidt's Investigations of Salado Sites in Central Arizona." Museum of Northern Arizona, 1988.
LeBlanc, Steven A. "The Mimbres People: Ancient Pueblo Painters of the American Southwest. Thames and Hudson, London, 1983.
Lister, R. H., and F. C. Lister. "Those Who Came Before: Southwestern Archeology in the National Park System. Tucson, Ariz, 1993.
And of course you can always Google to find other archeology studies.
Southwest Archaeology Lecture Notes
" Great Drought from 1276 - 1299."
"1539 Fray Marcos de Niza visits Zuni. This is the first recorded contact."
"Hot With Decades of Drought: Expectations for Southwestern United States."
"A 60-year drought like that of the 12th Century could be in our future."
Try again, Ben.
While living in Arizona and very active in water resources, the info I saw said drought drove the Anasazi Indians from the state many years before Columbus left Spain.
Long before our Declaration of Independence, drought drove the hunter-gathers from what is now the Phoenix area.
So far as I now know, no one knows where either group went.
Tom, that is my understanding as well.
I already know the things I brought up are not sound arguments against climate change--I never said they were. I brought them up to show that for those who don't have time to do research (most people), there are enough conflicting messages flying about from legitimate sources to justify a large amount of confusion.
I was drawing a distinction between scientists and activists because they're doing different things.
Scientists like David Keith are generally pretty sober. Climatologists readily admit that the amount of warming we'll see for a given among of CO2 has a large error range. They point out the things that could go wrong if we do nothing over many many decades and reality turns out to be nearer the upper error bar. But they give it a sense of proportion instead of making it a scare tactic. They also point to both long term solutions for reducing emissions and shorter term solutions like geo-engineering. They realize that the predictions they make are shocking and they take the time to calmly confirm to the rightfully initially skeptical public that yes, they're not making this up.
Activist may not be the optimal word, but who I'm talking about are a subset of liberals--not all liberals--, who use climate change rhetoric as a shibboleth to identify people they can feel justified in calling stupid, immoral and evil. They accuse anyone with doubts or skepticism about climate change of being retarded, and they accuse anyone with hard questions about their pet solutions of being an idiot, malicious or both.
Activists are using climate change to further authoritarian political agendas and/or a hipster-ish elitism complex. Their rantings are hurting the legitimate cause of the scientists, but no one will point it out because they're afraid of being labeled uncool.
Remember Love Canal? Neighbors began to notice foul smells, feeling ill and officials ignored their situation. The community formed a group and were successful in getting federal funding to test basements and soils. Indeed, Love Canal contained 20,000 tons of buried toxic waste filling homes with toxic fumes.
It was not the builders who warned of toxic dangers, it was ordinary citizens who insisted on studies that revealed the effects on humans, water, soils, air, flora and fauna.
"A Corporate, Governmental, and Fatal Error
In all, 20,000 tons of 248 assorted chemicals were buried at Love Canal, including: the pesticide hexachlorocyclohexane (known as Lindane), chlorobenzenes, chlorinated hydrocarbons, benzene, chloroform, trichloroethylene, methylene chloride, benzene hexachloride, phosphorous rocks, polychlorinated biphenyls, and 1, 3, 7, 8- tetrachlorodibenzo- para-dioxin (or just dioxin). There was an estimated 130 pounds of dioxin contained at the Love Canal dumpsite; it has been estimated that three ounces can kill in excess of one million people."
The Love Canal Disaster: An Error in Engineering or Public Policy?
Remember Kellogg, Idaho? Tests revealed school children had dangerously elevated levels of lead in their blood. Infants revealed signs of lead poisoning. Mothers' milk contained lead. It was an outcry of "activists" who called these details to attention of the government. Bunker Hill Mining Company had contaminated the entire Coeur d'Alene River water drainage area from the mines, and into streams, lakes and rivers.
"The Bunker Hill site, located in the Coeur d'Alene River Basin, is one of the largest environmental and human health cleanup efforts in the country. Historic mining practices generated an estimated 70 to 100 million tons of mining waste that are now spread throughout regional streams, rivers, flood plains and lakes. The contamination resulting from these mining practices affects all media and poses public health risks, particularly to young children and pregnant women due to exposure to lead. Ecological affects include sterile river regions and hundreds of avian deaths each year."
Superfund Program Implements the Recovery Act, Bunker Hill, Kellogg, Idaho.
It was not the mine that notified health risks to humans, but the citizens themselves who spoke up and successfully revealed the effects on local residents and later studies revealed how far and wide water, soils, flora and fauna contained contaminated toxins.
In my opinion, a good citizen is one who observes situations and events and calls attention to things that need attending. These citizens can be called "liberals", "activists," or whatever name you want to choose. These citizens perform heroic acts in the face of painful challenges.
Did you ever read "An enemy of the people" an 1882 play by Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen?
What did you intend this wall of text to have to do with global warming?
Are you implying that CO2 emissions have always been known to be a problem (like dumping hazardous pesticides has been) and we are justified in calling those that released either of them evil?
Are you implying that a few people have secretly dumped CO2 into the atmosphere and now responsible citizens (like yourself) are needed to bring the existence of the pollution to light?
Are you implying that any company who's released CO2 (basically all of them) deserves to be ruined like companies who've poisoned ground water? or that we therefore shouldn't worry about the effect on the economy of attempts to fix the situation?
Hopefully you meant something else as all of those connections will appear dubious at best to those reading this, and completely irrelevant to my point. You need to tie your examples to your primary subject better so that we understand which parts of the stories you're sharing you believe to be relevant.
Also, if you're going to bring up a play satirizing Victorian moral hypocrisy that most readers here won't have heard of, tell us what's in it and why it's important to your argument instead of just asking the person you're talking to whether he's read it. I realize it was probably not your intent, but the way you brought it up makes it sound like a transparent attempt to appear more intelligent/well read.
I'm totally with you that people who bring the dumping of toxic waste to light deserve praise, but CO2 is only toxic like water is toxic, not like pesticides are toxic. Too much and we die, but we definitely need some of it and we can get by just fine with a wide but somewhat uncertain range of it. Too much CO2 is a problem, but we've all been part of the problem not just one of those rare unscrupulous people or companies.
Regardless of which of those is your argument, I explicitly drew a distinction between people who are simply bringing up hard facts and people who assume their opposition is evil or are using downsides of technologies they don't like to try to demonize the instruments of our economic success. Why are you smudging the line of that distinction?
I have given you examples of natural climate changes that clearly can be observed by archeology studies.
I have given you examples of the role citizens take in protecting themselves from improper corporate action and inadequate government regulations.
Do I really have to spell out in lengthy detail what I mean by these comments? Do you think these few examples are just random events, or that don't reveal patterns?
I haven't mentioned global warming as caused by human activity because we have plenty of evidence that natural disasters occur that force great changes in peoples lives. It is not the people who describe events that cause economic disruptions, it is natural disruptions that cause economic disruptions. What is the point in blaming the messenger?
Wow Ben what an array of attacks, insults, and unproved assertions about activists and climate change. Sure there are occasional people on both sides of the issue who go to extremes, but attacking only people on the pro-climate change side (there really isn't another side) you make your own posts and discussions uninformative and downright insulting.
There are just as many, if not more, anti-climate change denialists with outrageous claims of conspiracies and anti- freedom of religion, freedom of speech, etc. Why do you discount those people? The political tone to the discussion is a large part of why we won't attack the real problem. Once again I invite you to have a discussion about what approaches are best and feasible. I'll start by discussion geo-engineering. Unfortunately it seems to be the newest excuse for not dealing with the underlying issues. At most these might delay the tipping point of extreme effects. We really need to find real solutions.
Right now geo-engineering is alot of talk about technologies with zero science. Climate is such a complex system that any technology can't be used without understanding it's global effects. The dollars spent on these could be better used finding better ways of powering civilization. Just an example - the plan to add particulates to the atmosphere to decrease the amount of sun reaching the globe - the sun is a perpetual source of energy, producing 10,000 times as much energy to the earth than all fossil fuels ever, in a single day. It also powers the entire food chain, water cycle, climate, ocean currents, etc. etc. Another issue with this particular idea is any failure means warming at a much faster rate with the added issue of extreme acidification of the oceans. Before talking about geo-engineering we need to get the science. Until that's known and understood talking about geo-engineering as a solution is moot.
