Royals hope to rough up Rays, Faria

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Tampa Bay right-hander Jake Faria is like the Henry Wadsworth Longfellow poem about the little girl with a curl.
"When she was good, she was very good indeed, but when she was bad she was horrid," Longfellow wrote.
Faria has allowed one or zero runs in four of last six starts and in five of his eight starts. He has a 1.26 ERA in those five starts.
Faria is also one of six starters in the majors this season to allow seven runs or more in multiple starts this season. He has two such starts, as does Kansas City right-hander Jason Hammel.
Faria and Hammel square off on Wednesday in the finale of this three-game series.
Faria allowed seven runs in Friday's loss at Baltimore.
"I think there's something to take away from that one," Faria said. "I didn't have my best stuff I was able to get through six good innings and, the seventh inning, just kind of lost focus and kind of fell apart. But, I take away a lot of good from that outing. Then, going into this one it's kind of the same as the last ones."
This will be Faria's first time facing the Royals.
"They don't know what to really look for or what to expect, and the same with me," Faria said. "I have the benefit of sitting and watching them for two games."
Faria said he needs to change the eye level.
"I think for a while I was getting a little one-dimensional," he said. "Just moving the ball around, changing my game up every so often."
Faria takes a 3-2 record with a 5.09 ERA into the start. Hammel is 0-4 with a 6.13 ERA.
Hammel, too, is coming off a bad outing. He was charged with nine runs on six hits with three walks in 3 2/3 innings in a Friday start at Cleveland. The Royals, however, came back to win 10-9. It was their last victory as they've lost four straight and six of seven.
Hammel is 0-2 with a 3.86 ERA at home this season. He is 2-3 with a 4.89 ERA in seven career starts against the Rays.
Rays third baseman Matt Duffy and right fielder Carlos Gomez left the game Tuesday with injuries. Gomez exited in the sixth with right groin tightness, while Duffy left in the fifth with right hamstring tightness.
"I don't have a clear sense of who's going to be available and what we're going to do," Rays manager Kevin Cash said. "We'll probably wait and check on them tomorrow morning."
Duffy could be more of a concern since he's been on the disabled list before with hamstring issues.
"I think Matt's a pretty headsy player in the fact that he knows his body and probably learned a lot about his body the last year sitting on the DL," Cash said. "Maybe we caught it in time where we can avoid something."
Gomez said he has never had a groin injury.
"When I was running to first it kind of grabbed me and got tight," Gomez said. "So, when I bunt and I tried to run, I stopped because I feel like if I continue to run I'm going to hurt."
Gomez said the training staff checked him out.
"It looked good; looked strong, but it's a day-to-day thing," he said. "I've never had any problem with my groin, so something new for me. Tomorrow is the more important day and we'll see how I feel and we take it from there.
"But, in my groin, in my right side, is something that you use every time (swinging) and defensively. You drive with it or when you take off and run. We don't think that it's something bad."
Duffy said it is the same hamstring that landed him on the disabled list last season.
"I think the plan is a day or two and see how it feels," Duffy said. "After scoring from second in the first inning, it felt a little tight. Never really felt it grab like last time. Just kind of walking around the dugout and, yeah, it feels like it's there.
"Just kind of general tightening over the next three innings that kind of made me uneasy. Obviously, not want to really push it and at that point you're either going to hurt the team because you can't score from second running a hundred percent or you're going to hurt yourself trying to get to a hundred percent. So, at that point, say something and make it a one- or two-day thing."
The Royals played Tuesday without outfielder Jorge Soler (displaced rib) and infielder Cheslor Cuthbert (back spasms). Manager Ned Yost said both could probably play Wednesday.
The Rays won the first two games of the series. The Royals are 1-11-2 in 14 series this season.

Hey guys
haven't posted in a long while I know.... but I've been busy at my new JOB!!
I work for Fatkat Animation Studios in Miramichi. Its run by the competent Gene Fowler, and thanks to him I now have my first industry job!!! I've been working there now for the past 2 months (holy crap its really been that long). I have worked on a hole shitload of projects here thus far, increasing my animation ability to AVERAGE!!!!! (the word echoes and lightning strikes behind me, silhouetting me from my computer desk).
Thus far I have worked on Aquapods, (www.aquapod.com) After that I had the privilege of workin on a great project. I also worked on an amazing project with Flinch, its an art instructional course, to teach kids about art, and artists of the past. That's what the pic above is from and was animated by myself and the amazing Neven Nesic's (hes an animation god).
I just this past week worked on a project for a huge international animation producer on an animated show, its was a pilot for a preschoolers show that's interactive. And they loved it, thus guaranteeing us plenty of work for the future. Myself and Dave Dick worked diligently to get it finished. Now finally, were up to the present. Im working on a some straight to DVD titles with an animation studio in the states.
I think it hit me this past Friday. I was sitting drinking a beer and working on a TV pilot that we're co-producing with another animation studio, and it hit me.THIS IS FUCKIN AWESOME!!! I LOVE MY JOB!!!!!.... and my life kicks ass now! (it always did, but im living my dream now, or I should say I made my dreams reality).
that's it for this week folks, il try to post more I promise...

I Finally Tried Quorn's Vegan Burger!
I've been hearing veggies talk about Quorn products for a crazy long time—everyone seems to be a huge fan. I was beyond mega bummed to find out that their huge selection of meatless goodies didn't include anything for us vegans… that is, until now!
Quorn Foods recently came out with their new vegan burger, and lemme just say, mama liiiiikes. You know what's crazy? I'm not even that into veggie burgers—the texture and coloring always seem a bit funk. But seriously, who I am to pass up trying new vegan foods? 😉
I tried this patty out yesterday for the first time, and as soon as I took it out of the packaging, I could tell it looked a bit different from standard veggie burgers—it was definitely lighter in color. Once cooked, I slathered this bad boy with Vegenaise, spicy mustard, pickles, lettuce, tomatoes and then cozied it up between two slices of toasted sprouted wheat bread, and dug in like it was nobody's business. This vegan burger was super flavorful (smoky and meaty) and it sort of reminded me of vegan chicken patties (which I lurve). It tasted like a burger/chicken patty lovechild, and I was SO feelin' that shit… so much that I made myself a second sankie! I'm not sure if that's what they were going for, but I honestly don't care. I have found myself a new fave vegan burger. BTW, these patties are soy-free! (Shannon, you can eat these!) 😉
The Quorn Vegan Burger is available in over 1,000 stores across the US, including Whole Foods Market.
If you've tried this new vegan burger, I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Tried them the other day, and all good feelgood factor went when I read that they contain palm oil 😤 So that's cows saved….orangutans lost.
I've tried every fake chicken pattie know to man & these are by far the best. Even though I haven't eaten meat in over 20 years, I actually had to check the box to see if there was real chicken in it because it tasted to realistic!
Oh please let these come to the UK! I've been vegetarian for 9 years with Quorn and I'm gradually becoming a vegan. I will miss my favourite Quorn products, but if this is happening then yay! Great review 🙂
http://www.Caring-Cosmetics.com x
They're too cheap to package them individually. That means you have to use 'em up fast or manually wrap them up. No need to buy them!
I also love the Quorn Vegan Burgers and think that they're just as good as the popular Boca veggie burgers!!
It's really hard to find stores that sell the Quorn Vegan Burger though.

Memorial Stadium Fan Experience Improvements
"Be Ready." Two words capture the excitement behind the upcoming University of Nebraska football season. The Nebraska Athletic Department wants Husker Nation to "Be Ready" to enjoy the enhanced fan experience in Memorial Stadium for the 125th season of Husker football which kicks off on August 30, 2014.
The $12.3 million Memorial Stadium Fan Experience Improvements project is underway and includes replacing the stadium's existing sound system; installing a wireless network system to improve connectivity; creating a game-day smart phone application for all fans in Memorial Stadium; and the installation of an IPTV system.
"Each of these Memorial Stadium Fan Experience Improvements are designed to provide the best college football fans in America with the best game-day experience possible," Director of Athletics Shawn Eichorst said. "It is extremely important that we strive to improve our fan experience and our customer service in all of our athletic venues. These initiatives in Memorial Stadium are a big step in ensuring that there is no better place to be on college football game day than at Nebraska."
Rendering of new North Stadium Speaker System
New Sound System to Improve Quality Throughout Memorial Stadium
The previous sound system at Memorial Stadium was more than 20 years old, and while it was still functional, the normal life expectancy of such systems is 15 years. With installation underway, a new, single-point source system will replace the current speaker cluster inside the stadium. It will use line array and beam focusing speaker technology that will provide consistent audio levels throughout the stadium. Voice and music intelligibility will also be much improved and will allow fans, in all parts of the stadium, to enjoy the full Nebraska game-day experience. In addition, all concourses, suites, and common areas will be driven by DSP (digital signal processing) technology. The DSP system will also deliver sound to the PA speaker amplifiers. Downs Electric has been awarded the contract for the installation of the new sound system with the assistance of BNT Productions and work began on April 14. Additionally, as part of the improvement, a new scoreboard design will be incorporated into the overall sound system structure. The scoreboard will display a 25-foot illuminated Nebraska "N" and topped with a graphic of a football, visible from both inside and outside of Memorial Stadium.
New State-of-the-Art Wireless Network System will be Largest Collegiate Stadium Installation
The new wireless network system has many advantages and will allow fans better access to internet applications from their smartphones, regardless of carrier or location in the stadium, which will also relieve volume to cellular networks for voice calls and text messaging. The system installed in Memorial Stadium will be the largest collegiate and second-largest Cisco Connected Stadium deployment in North America. Other stadiums with Cisco Connected Systems include Pinnacle Bank Arena, AT&T Stadium (home to the Dallas Cowboys and the largest Cisco Connected deployment in North America), Beaver Stadium (Penn State University), Stanford Stadium, Amon G. Carter Stadium (TCU), Yankee Stadium and Bank of America Stadium (Carolina Panthers).
Wireless coverage will also extend beyond the stadium to allow for an even greater area of connectivity, including the Hawks practice facility and practice fields, the Ed Weir Track, Champions Club (Surface Lot Only), parking garages 1 and 9, and parking surface lots 3, 4, 5, 8, and 12. CDW has been awarded the contract for the installation of the new wireless system and work began on April 28.
Smartphone Application to Deliver Exclusive Game-Day Information and Video
Nebraska Athletics is extending its contract with NeuLion, a leading internet video technology provider for live and on-demand interactive content for any Internet-enabled device, to develop an innovative in-venue game-day experience. Through a smartphone application, fans will be able to access in-depth information about the games, including exclusive streaming video content only available to those inside Memorial Stadium. Also available will be rosters and player bios, real-time stats and venue maps with concession stands, restrooms, and emergency stations. This experience will be added to the Official Nebraska Huskers App that is currently available to iOS and Android users. NeuLion has broad experience delivering high quality sports video experiences on multiple devices, including work with the Big Ten Network on the BTN2Go app, the National Hockey League, Ultimate Fighting Championship, the National Basketball Association and more than 175 colleges.
When asked about the impact the improvements within Memorial Stadium will have on those in attendance, Husker Athletics Director of Digital Media Kelly Mosier said: "As technology continues to improve, fans are engaging with college sports across all platforms of social media during games. Specifically addressing Nebraska football, we are excited that the added connectivity we are providing for the 2014 football season will give fans in Memorial Stadium greater access to engage in the conversations which are occurring online." The game-day application will be ready for use when the 2014 season begins.
The exclusive video content will extend the HuskerVision experience beyond the existing big screens inside of Memorial Stadium and give fans control of their video experience on their own mobile devices. To meet this new avenue of engaging fan content, HuskerVision will expand its control room in a project that was awarded to Alpha Audio & Video.
IPTV System Brings Game Day Content into Memorial Stadium Concourses, Clubs and Suites
The Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) is a system through which television services are delivered using the Internet protocol suite over a packet-switched network such as a LAN or the Internet, instead of being delivered through traditional terrestrial, satellite signal, and cable television formats. IPTV deployments tightly manage network security and performance to ensure a superior entertainment experience, including the delivery of significantly more content and functionality. An IP-based platform also allows significant opportunities to make the TV viewing experience more interactive and personalized. With the advancement of the IPTV system, every channel we provide to fans will be in HD. We are also able to ensure the ability to provide unique camera angles and live, in-game stats. IPTV is a component of the Cisco Connected Stadium solution and that is being installed by CDW.
West Stadium to Incorporate Brick Design Element
Memorial Stadium improvements also include the addition of brick on the base section of West Memorial Stadium. The brick has been donated by Endicott Clay Products Co. of Endicott, Nebraska, to match the brick they have provided for other parts of the stadium. With the addition of brick on the West Stadium side, the West, North, and East Stadiums will all feature brick as a cohesive design element.
Seat Yourself Program Concludes June 10
Nebraska Athletics was also pleased to introduce a new, online ticketing program earlier this spring for the upcoming football season called, Seat Yourself. The Seat Yourself process was designed to help current and prospective Nebraska football season ticket holders who wished to explore the option of moving their season ticket(s) or acquire new seats. The new system improved the ticketing process and included the ability to have a 3D view of Memorial Stadium, view available seats, and make changes to current seats or select additional seats. Donors, season ticket holders and those who placed their names on the initial Request List have been assisted with tickets and upgrades as part of Phase I, which ended on May 21. It was an extremely successful launch and will expand to other Husker venues in the future. Phase II will assist all those on the second Request List which began on April 1.
All fans interested in purchasing football season tickets for the 2014 football season can go to Huskers.com/memorialstadium to get on the Request List. Season tickets are $56 per game, or $392 for the seven-game season package, a savings of $113 over single-game prices. Beginning June 16, fans will be able to view remaining available seats and immediately purchase season tickets online at Huskers.com/memorialstadium with the Select Your Seat process. Don't miss the opportunity to be inside Memorial Stadium for the 125th season of Husker Football.

The quaint small city of Bath is twenty minutes away with many intriguing establishments in the downtown area, including antique shops, a variety of boutiques and specialty stores, a farmer's market, and several good restaurants. Bath is a world famous shipbuilding city and is host to the Maine Maritime Museum. The museum includes a restored working boatyard, many wonderful maritime exhibits and a vintage sailing ship. The museum offers boat rides on the Kennebec River as well as "lighthouse lovers" and picnic cruises that include excursions into the ocean.
Scenic boat cruises are also offered by several local captains on the island. In addition, power boats and kayaks are available for rent in the area. There are many uninhabited islands and beaches nearby to explore. The striped bass fishing in the Kennebec is excellent, and you can fish from the dock in front of the cottage. Guided fishing trips are available from a number of area guides. For golfers, the area has several excellent public and private golf courses.
There are many picturesque lighthouses close to the cottage. Two are visible from White Rocks. Perkins Island Light is located just south of the cottage, and can only be reached by water. Squirrel Point Lighthouse is directly across the bay from the cottage, and can be reached by a hiking trail.
White Rocks is 10 minutes from Reid State Park, which features the most beautiful beach in the State of Maine. The park includes two beaches, hiking trails, a warm salt water lagoon with lifeguards that provides safe swimming for young children, and numerous tidal pools. We include a free pass to the park with the cottage rental. This pass will admit you to all the state parks in Maine. The Josephine Neuman Wildlife Sanctuary is also located close to the cottage and has miles of hiking trails. Admission is free.
Georgetown is relatively undeveloped compared to other mid-coast Maine communities, and has a small year round population. The island is not a busy tourist area with outlet malls or amusement parks. The pace is a little slower on the island, although there is plenty to do.
Freeport, with its outlet stores (including L.L. Bean), and bustling Boothbay Harbor, with its many restaurants, shops, sailboats, and sightseeing tour boats, are both located about 35 minutes away. There are many other attractions in Brunswick, Wiscasset, Damariscotta, Camden and Rockland (such as seafood festivals, summer theatre and concerts, art museums, etc.) all within an easy day trip from the cottage. And don't forget, the fall foliage in mid-coast Maine is stunning.
If you are looking for peace and quiet, along with beautiful scenery, then we are certain you will love White Rocks Cottage.
White Rocks has a screened porch and a deck that both overlook the water. The cottage is in excellent condition and is nicely furnished with a combination of antiques and modern furniture. Every room in the cottage has authentic wide plank pine wood floors. White Rocks has two bedrooms that comfortably sleep four people. Both bedrooms are located upstairs and have water views. The main bedroom has a queen sized bed, and the second bedroom has two twin beds. A sofa bed in the living room has a full-sized mattress and will sleep two people. The kitchen is equipped with an electric range, a refrigerator, a microwave oven, a coffee maker, glasses, dishes, utensils, and pots and pans (including a lobster cooking pot). A gas barbecue grill is located outside on the deck. White Rocks has a separate dining room, a large bathroom with a full shower, and a comfortable living room. The cottage has a flat panel HDTV, DVD player and CD player. White Rocks has electric heat and the bedrooms have overhead fans. We provide sheets, blankets, towels and kitchen linens.
White Rocks is located just steps from the water and has its own dock and cove. The cottage also has a large lawn where you can play catch, croquet, or simply sit in the shade.

The monsoon floods in August hit a country already grappling with high levels of malnutrition, high food prices and a humanitarian crisis along its border with Afghanistan. Here are eight facts that show the full extent of hunger and poverty in Pakistan.
1. 20 million affected by the floods
The Pakistan floods this summer impacted the lives and livelihoods of some 20 million people, around 10 million of whom required emergency food assistance.
2. Nearly one in two Pakistanis at risk
Pakistan suffered from widespread hunger even before the monsoon floods, with an estimated 82.6 million people – a little less than half the population – estimated to be food insecure.
3. Widespread poverty
An estimated 36 percent of Pakistanis live below the poverty line and almost half are illiterate. Poorer households typically spend over 60 percent of their income on food.
4. Poor sanitation
50 percent of all Pakistanis have little or no access to clean toilets and drinking water, a condition that renders them vulnerable to infectious diseases.
5. Child mortality
The biggest killers of children under five in Pakistan are diarrhea and acute respiratory infections. Undernourishment is an underlying cause in 38 percent of those cases.
6. Violent conflict
Conflict along Pakistan's northwestern border with Afghanistan has forced millions of people to flee their homes. Since 2008, WFP has provided over 2.6 million of them with food assistance.
7. Rising hunger
Volatile food prices over the past seven years have pushed the number of people who depend on food assistance in Pakistan from 38 percent of the population in 2003 to 49 percent in 2009.
8. Wheat dependent
Wheat is Pakistan's main staple crop and most important source of calories. As a result of the flooding, which submerged around 16 percent of all arable land in Pakistan, the upcoming wheat harvest is expected to be around 15 percent smaller than usual.

As a way of sharing my genealogical journey with friends and family, I've created this blog. My plan is to post articles about what I've done and learned on my trip in the "past lane": places visited, people met, information discovered.
I come from a blended family where not everyone is related in the same way. I hope that, regardless of how you are connected to me, you will find the posts interesting! Let me know what you think by commenting.
As we enter the holiday season, I plan several posts on our family holiday traditions. Watch for them in the next few weeks!

Our Momentics IDE has always been powerful and rich in functionality, but at times it required our developers to be experts in Eclipse to use it successfully. As smart as our developers are, we would rather they focused on the job of coding and tweaking than on figuring out how to use the IDE. This is why we have made a conscious effort to improve the usability of Momentics along with the other improvements to the BlackBerry 10 Native SDK out of box experience.
The first thing we did is rewrite the installers. In the past we used to bundle the BlackBerry 10 Native SDK target libraries with the IDE in monolithic package . Not only did this result in significant download sizes, but it also didn't scale well. This is why we have introduced a new streamlined installer with the BlackBerry 10.2 SDK beta. When you install the IDE and SDK from our developer site, our installer will walk you through a wizard that will determine what device and target you are using for development and based on that will download and install the appropriate SDK for you. We hope this will not only simplify your workflow but also avoid you having to download targets that you might not need.
We have also introduced the concept of an API level. In the past, the API was tightly integrated with the target OS that you were using. This meant that you would have to figure out which build you were running on your device and match that with a suitable IDE update. In this beta we have disconnected the APIs from the target OS. As a developer you only have to worry about setting your minimum API level based on a two octave number (10.0, 10.1 etc). While there is a global default, API levels can be set on a per project basis as well. As an example, once you set your app API level to 10.1, it means the app should be compatible with every 10.1 based device irrespective of what target OS is on that device.
It doesn't stop there. Once you launch the IDE, you will see a refreshed UI along with a new welcome screen. We have incorporated a lot of the feedback we've been receiving from the community in this new UX. I hope you find that it reduces the amount of clutter on your desktop. That being said, it is important to note that we've not removed any features. We've just done some housekeeping and moved more advanced functionality into advanced menus and settings where they belong.
The new welcome screen also provides links to our forums, documentation and samples. This way you are connected to the rest of our developer zone without having to leave the confines of the IDE. My personal favourite aspect of the welcome screen is the samples. If you are like me, I learn best by playing around with samples and we've made it easier for you to acquire and import samples. When you click on the samples link via the Momentics welcome page, you will see a list of samples that you can download. Clicking on any of the samples, provides you with a download option. Click on download and import and you are ready to go.
There are just a few of the numerous new features and improvements that have been introduced. Rather than have you read about them here, I recommend you download the new BlackBerry 10 Native SDK and start developing with it. We also previewed the new Momentics at BlackBerry Live 2013, so if you didn't have a chance to join us, you can watch a recording of the session here.
While the out of box experience is a key highlight, it's not the only thing that is new in our NDK. We have introduced several new APIs in this release with many more to come with the gold release of the BlackBerry 10.2 SDKs. We hope you continue to enjoy your experience developing on our platform. Your enthusiasm and feedback is valuable in helping us improve our products.

Centralised emergency lighting system
A centralised emergency lighting system consists of a central back-up power unit that starts in the event of a power failure. Parts of the normal lighting or specially intended emergency lighting e.g. an emLED-sc, are connected to the unit.
In rooms where luminaires are placed up high, a centralised emergency lighting system is often preferable. With a decentralised system, the luminous flux is often not sufficient as the light source in such a system is operated with greatly reduced effect. With a central solution there is almost the same luminous flux in emergency mode and in normal operation, and furthermore the risk of difficult battery changes is avoided. Even in high risk areas, where higher lighting strengths are important, a central emergency lighting system often works better than a decentralised one.
Centralised emergency lighting systems also work well in cold areas or outdoors, assuming that the central emergency lighting unit is placed at normal room temperature (indoors).

While Oktoberfest is a fest, it's also a specific style of beer. The tradition of Oktoberfest beers can be traced to the beginning of the festival, which was supposedly inaugurated in 1810, when Prince Ludwig of Bavaria took the unusual step of celebrating his marriage in a public festival with the plebeians—instead of a private royal one. The goodwill associated with this feel-good move gained momentum and still exists today.
The irony of the Oktoberfest beer is that it often carries the name of another month—in German, Märzen—March. This owes to the fact that before refrigeration, it was not possible to brew reliable beer in the summer. Because of the heat, fermentations would often go awry, resulting in bacterial infections and spoiled beer. The last feasible time to brew was in March, hence the name Märzen. The beers were brewed to higher strength, as alcohol is a preservative, to further guard against spoilage. Brewed in large quantities in the spring and then sequestered deep in cool caves throughout the summer, these Märzen/Oktoberfest beers would make their long-awaited debut during the fall festival season. Technically, they must be brewed in Munich, though Oktoberfest-styled beers are now made all over.
Appearing in color anywhere from a burnished gold hue to a deep brown with shades of red and orange, the beers are characterized by sweet, almost humid maltiness that's balanced by a slight bitter note from the hops, though not enough for the beer ever to be considered bitter. Alcohol levels generally hover between 5 and 6 percent.

Thinking, relating and choosing: Resolving the issue of faith, ethics and the existential responsibility of the individual
Neil Alan Soggie
Which is worse: Doing evil or being evil? If we are free to define ourselves through our choices, as existentialism posits, then the latter is worse. This paper attempts to resolve the issue of the difference between religious (group) ethics and the ethics of a person of faith that embraces individuals with an existential understanding. In the existential view, the individual (whether the self or the other) is the primary concern, and so the issue of personal relational morality supersedes religious narratives, social morality and popular ethics (White, 2002). If we think and choose, there is the possibility that we may occasionally make a mistake and do evil. However, if we do not think about our choices, and if the conventions we hold happen to be flawed in some way, then we become defined by a continual cycle of mistakes. Existentialism teaches that we become who we are in the process of making choices; therefore the difference between doing evil and being evil can be found in the small but important flow of thinking, relating and choosing.

Those Brockwitz "Curved Star" celery vases (company pattern name was Zurich) were made in the 1920s and 1930s.thanks Glen honey
I believe that the full name for what in English is called "celery" is "bleekselderij" in Dutch...bleached or white celery and with the Dutch penchant for lumping words together( a la German!!) you would get "bleekselderijvaas" :roll: No, I'm sure that it's not valid in this case :lol:

Uncertain times come and go in American life, but five aphorisms comprise the recipe for a successful life, former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman told Weber State University graduates Friday.
"Be you. Find a cause. Embrace failure. Find someone to love. And give back," Huntsman said, before adding an extra ingredient: "Never forget to rock and roll."
Huntsman was the keynote speaker at the Ogden university's commencement for 4,327 graduates with associates, bachelor's and master's degrees. The erstwhile presidential candidate has succeeded his father, Jon Sr., as chairman of the Huntsman Cancer Foundation, which supports the University of Utah's Huntsman Cancer Institute.
Today's graduates may feel like their college careers are ending just as the "wheels are coming off the bus," but there have been other turbulent times, Huntsman said, referring to his own youth during the Vietnam War.
"And in each case, we recover, we learn our lessons and we become ever more resilient," Huntsman said.
"Hold on to your sense of optimism," he said. "Despite our dysfunction, we are still as full of potential as ever."
Pianist Fan-Ya Lin, the student speaker at commencement, told how she passed up admission to Juilliard to enroll at WSU in 2008.
Her first formal piano lesson at WSU, she said, lasted six hours.
"I was thinking … what was I signing myself up for?"
But such personal attention from faculty is what drew the native of Taiwan, who soon won a national college student competition sponsored by educators. Last month, she performed at Carnegie Hall.
Lin, who wants to become an international concert pianist, is headed next to Juilliard for graduate work.
Gentry Phillips, 24, of Ogden, said she also found personal attention to be a hallmark during her years at WSU. She was awarded a bachelor's degree in psychology with a minor in sociology on Friday.
Phillips, who also works as a pharmacy technician, will continue research with WSU professors as she applies to doctoral programs.
"There's a joke that you 'go to 'Just Weber,' " she said. "But I've loved it."

FIFA president Sepp Blatter has reiterated his desire to introduce goal-line technology after Ukraine's 'goal that wasn't' against England at Euro 2012 last night (Tuesday).
Losing 1-0, the co-hosts needed victory to reach the quarter-finals of the competition from Group D, and would have been a step closer had Marko Devic's shot correctly been given as a goal.
Instead, John Terry's clearance preserved a clean sheet for the Three Lions, with Wayne Rooney's 48th minute header proving to be the difference between the two sides in Donetsk.
Having felt their own sense of injustice against Germany at the World Cup in South Africa two years ago, supporters of England will claim some sort of justice, but for Blatter the situation must now be resolved.
"After last night's match #GLT is no longer an alternative but a necessity," tweeted the president.
The International Football Association Board are set to discuss the possibility of introducing goal-line technology on July 5th in Zurich.
If one of the systems currently being tested is given the green light, then its introduction is likely to come for the start of the 2013-14 season, although individual associations like UEFA could still opt against implementation.

makepkg is used for compiling and building packages suitable for installation with pacman, Arch Linux's package manager. makepkg is a script that automates the building of packages; it can download and validate source files, check dependencies, configure build-time settings, compile the sources, install into a temporary root, make customizations, generate meta-info, and package everything together.
makepkg is provided by the pacman package.
/etc/makepkg.conf is the main configuration file for makepkg. Most users will wish to fine-tune makepkg configuration options prior to building any packages.
Architecture, compile flags
CFLAGS, and
CXXFLAGS options are used by make, gcc, and
g++ whilst compiling software with makepkg. By default, these options generate generic packages that can be installed on a wide range of machines. A performance improvement can be achieved by tuning compilation for the host machine. The downside is that packages compiled specifically for the compiling host's processor may not run on other machines.
[...] ######################################################################### # ARCHITECTURE, COMPILE FLAGS ######################################################################### # CARCH="x86_64" CHOST="x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu" #-- Exclusive: will only run on x86_64 # -march (or -mcpu) builds exclusively for an architecture # -mtune optimizes for an architecture, but builds for whole processor family CPPFLAGS="-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2" CFLAGS="-march=x86-64 -mtune=generic -O2 -pipe -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4" CXXFLAGS="-march=x86-64 -mtune=generic -O2 -pipe -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1,--sort-common,--as-needed,-z,relro" #-- Make Flags: change this for DistCC/SMP systems #MAKEFLAGS="-j2" [...]
The default makepkg.conf
CFLAGS and
CXXFLAGS are compatible with all machines within their respective architectures.
On x86_64 machines, there are rarely significant enough real world performance gains that would warrant investing the time to rebuild official packages.
As of version 4.3.0, GCC offers the
-march=native switch that enables CPU auto-detection and automatically selects optimizations supported by the local machine at GCC runtime. To use it, just modify the default settings by changing the
CFLAGS and
CXXFLAGS lines as follows:
# -march=native also sets the correct -mtune= CFLAGS="-march=native -O2 -pipe -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2" CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"
march=native flags are, run:
$ gcc -march=native -E -v - </dev/null 2>&1 | sed -n 's/.* -v - //p'
Further optimizing for CPU type can theoretically enhance performance because
-march=native enables all available instruction sets and improves scheduling for a particular CPU. This is especially noticeable when rebuilding applications (for example: audio/video encoding tools, scientific applications, math-heavy programs, etc.) that can take heavy advantage of newer instructions sets not enabled when using the default options (or packages) provided by Arch Linux.
It is very easy to reduce performance by using "non-standard" CFLAGS because compilers tend to heavily blow up the code size with loop unrolling, bad vectorization, crazy inlining, etc. depending on compiler switches. Unless you can verify/benchmark that something is faster, there is a very good chance it is not!
See the GCC man page for a complete list of available options. The Gentoo Compilation Optimization Guide and Safe CFLAGS wiki article provide more in-depth information.
MAKEFLAGS option can be used to specify additional options for make. Users with multi-core/multi-processor systems can specify the number of jobs to run simultaneously. This can be accomplished with the use of
nproc to determine the number of available processors, e.g.
-j4 (where 4 is the output of
nproc). Some PKGBUILD's specifically override this with
-j1, because of race conditions in certain versions or simply because it is not supported in the first place. Packages that fail to build because of this should be reported on the bug tracker after making sure that the error is indeed being caused by your MAKEFLAGS.
man make for a complete list of available options.
Package output
Next, one can configure where source files and packages should be placed and identify themselves as the packager. This step is optional; packages will be created in the working directory where makepkg is run by default.
[...] ######################################################################### # PACKAGE OUTPUT ######################################################################### # # Default: put built package and cached source in build directory # #-- Destination: specify a fixed directory where all packages will be placed #PKGDEST=/home/packages #-- Source cache: specify a fixed directory where source files will be cached #SRCDEST=/home/sources #-- Source packages: specify a fixed directory where all src packages will be placed #SRCPKGDEST=/home/srcpackages #-- Packager: name/email of the person or organization building packages #PACKAGER="John Doe <firstname.lastname@example.com>" [...]
For example, create the directory:
$ mkdir /home/$USER/packages
Then modify the
PKGDEST variable in
/etc/makepkg.conf accordingly.
PACKAGER variable will set the
packager value within compiled packages'
.PKGINFO metadata file. By default, user-compiled packages will display:
pacman -Qi package
[...] Packager : Unknown Packager [...]
pacman -Qi package
[...] Packager : John Doe <email@example.com> [...]
This is useful if multiple users will be compiling packages on a system, or you are otherwise distributing your packages to other users.
Signature checking
The following procedure is not necessary for compiling with makepkg, for your initial configuration proceed to #Usage. To temporarily disable signature checking call the makepkg command with the
--skippgpcheck option.
If a signature file in the form of .sig is part of the PKGBUILD source array, makepkg validates the authenticity of source files. For example, the signature pkgname-pkgver.tar.gz.sig is used to check the integrity of the file pkgname-pkgver.tar.gz with the gpg program. If desired, signatures by other developers can be manually added to the gpg keyring. Look into the GnuPG article for further information.
The gpg keys are expected to be stored in the user's
~/.gnupg/pubring.gpg file. In case it does not contain the given signature, makepkg shows a warning.
[...] ==> Verifying source file signatures with gpg... pkgname-pkgver.tar.gz ... FAILED (unknown public key 1234567890) ==> WARNING: Warnings have occurred while verifying the signatures. Please make sure you really trust them. [...]
To show the current list of gpg keys use the gpg command.
gpg --list-keys
If the pubring.gpg file does not exist it will be created for you immediatly. You can now proceed with configuring gpg to allow compiling AUR packages submitted by Arch Linux developers with successful signature checking. Add the following line to the end of your gpg configuration file to include the pacman keyring in your user's personal keyring.
[...] keyring /etc/pacman.d/gnupg/pubring.gpg
When configured as before, the output of
gpg --list-keys contains a list of keyrings and developers. Now makepkg can compile AUR packages submitted by Arch Linux developers with successful signature checking.
Before continuing, ensure the base-devel group is installed. Packages belonging to this group are not required to be listed as dependencies in PKGBUILD files. Install the "base-devel" group by issuing (as root):
# pacman -S base-devel
To build a package, one must first create a PKGBUILD, or build script, as described in Creating Packages, or obtain one from the ABS tree, Arch User Repository, or some other source.
Once in possession of a
PKGBUILD, change to the directory where it is saved and issue the following command to build the package described by said
$ makepkg
To have makepkg clean out leftover files and folders, such as files extracted to the $srcdir, add the following option. This is useful for multiple builds of the same package or updating the package version, while using the same build folder. It prevents obsolete and remnant files from carrying over to the new builds.
$ makepkg -c
If required dependencies are missing, makepkg will issue a warning before failing. To build the package and install needed dependencies automatically, simply use the command:
$ makepkg -s
Note that these dependencies must be available in the configured repositories; see pacman#Repositories for details. Alternatively, one can manually install dependencies prior to building (
pacman -S --asdeps dep1 dep2).
Once all dependencies are satisfied and the package builds successfully, a package file (
pkgname-pkgver.pkg.tar.xz) will be created in the working directory. To install, run (as root):
# pacman -U pkgname-pkgver.pkg.tar.xz
Alternatively, to install, using the
-i flag is an easier way of running
pacman -U pkgname-pkgver.pkg.tar.xz, as in:
$ makepkg -i
Tips and Tricks
Generate new md5sums
Since pacman 4.1
makepkg -g >> PKGBUILD is no longer required as pacman-contrib was merged along with the
updpkgsums script that will generate new checksums and replace them in the PKGBUILD:
$ updpkgsums
Makepkg source PKGBUILD twice
Makepkg sources the PKGBUILD twice (once when initially run, and the second time under fakeroot). Any non-standard functions placed in the PKGBUILD will be run twice as well.
WARNING: Package contains reference to $srcdir
Somehow, the literal strings
$srcdir or
$pkgdir ended up in one of the installed files in your package.
To identify which files, run the following from the makepkg build directory:
$ grep -R "$(pwd)/src" pkg/

Outsider test
The Outsider test for faith (OTF) is a criterion for rational belief. Religious affiliation is largely determined by that of one's parents and native country. Believers are encouraged to test their beliefs by trying to see them from the perspective of someone outside the faith. Using this criterion, believers would be required to treat books such as the Bible with the same critical skepticism that they would apply to competing holy books, such as the Koran or the Book of Mormon.
The term "outsider test" was proposed by John Loftus, a former Christian apologist turned atheist. Quotes from Loftus on the subject:
- "Test your beliefs as if you were an outsider to the faith you are evaluating."
- "The best way to test one's adopted religious faith is from the perspective of an outsider with the same level of skepticism used to evaluate other religious faiths."
- "Tell believers to examine their faith critically and most all of them will say they already do. But tell them to subject their own faith to the same level of skepticism they use when examining the other religious faiths they reject and that will get their attention."
The outsider test codifies a form of argument that has existed in critiques of religion for some time.
Thomas Jefferson in a letter to his nephew Peter Carr, offers some advice on how to study religion:
- "In the first place, divest yourself of all bias in favor of novelty & singularity of opinion....You will naturally examine first, the religion of your own country. Read the Bible, then as you would read Livy or Tacitus....In fine, I repeat, you must lay aside all prejudice on both sides, and neither believe nor reject anything, because any other persons, or description of persons, have rejected or believed it. Your own reason is the only oracle given you by heaven, and you are answerable, not for the rightness, but uprightness of the decision."
Robert Ingersoll from his lecture "The Gods" (1872):
- "All that is necessary, as it seems to me, to convince any reasonable person that the Bible is simply and purely of human invention -- of barbarian invention -- is to read it. Read it as you would any other book; think of it as you would of any other; get the bandage of reverence from your eyes; drive from your heart the phantom of fear; push from the throne of your brain the coiled form of superstition -- then read the Holy Bible, and you will be amazed that you ever, for one moment, supposed a being of infinite wisdom, goodness and purity, to be the author of such ignorance and of such atrocity."
In Bertrand Russell's speech "Am I An Atheist Or An Agnostic?", Russell said that he could not prove there was no God, but could not disprove the existence of the Homeric gods either. More recently, Richard Dawkins argued "We are all atheists about most of the gods that humanity has ever believed in. Some of us just go one god further."
A similar slogan, coined by Stephen Roberts and used in many internet taglines, says, "I contend we are both atheists, I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours."
The basic idea of the outsider test has also been applied to questions more specific than the existence of God. For example Richard Carrier, in an article on Jesus' resurrection, argued "Can you imagine a movement today claiming that a soldier in World War Two rose physically from the dead, but when you asked for proof all they offered you were a mere handful of anonymous religious tracts written in the 1980's? Would it be even remotely reasonable to believe such a thing on so feeble a proof? Well — no."
In his Natural History of Religion, David Hume gives a long discussion of how the beliefs of one religion may appear absurd to another, though he draws no explicit conclusions from this fact. Included in this discussion is an imagined exchange between a Catholic and a pagan:
- "How can you worship leeks and onions? we shall suppose a SORBONNIST to say to a priest of SAIS. If we worship them, replies the latter; at least, we do not, at the same time, eat them.* But what strange objects of adoration are cats and monkies? says the learned doctor. They are at least as good as the relics or rotten bones of martyrs, answers his no less learned antagonist. Are you not mad, insists the Catholic, to cut one another's throat about the preference of a cabbage or a cucumber? Yes, says the pagan; I allow it, if you will confess, that those are still madder, who fight about the preference among volumes of sophistry, ten thousand of which are not equal in value to one cabbage or cucumber."
*This is a reference to the doctrine that in communion, the bread literally becomes the body of Jesus, whom Christians worship, putting them in the position of eating their god.
Comparison with mental illness[edit]
- "If you take a belief someone holds and you don't cloak it under the robe of religion, then this would be tantamount to the guy being schizophrenic and 'let's commit him to a mental hospital'. [For example,] this prophet has gone on a winged horse somewhere [e.g. heaven].[1]"

Weight loss benefits tend to be viewed in the long term as opposed to the short term. We know that if we were to lose weight we would feel slimmer sometime in the future; we would feel healthier and more full of energy. We would look better and be able to wear smaller sizes in clothes. But how do these weight loss benefits relate to us now, in this very moment?
Similarly we know that the long term effects of losing weight include a decreased likelihood of cancer, diabetes, asthma and so on. But how do we feel about these benefits of weight loss right now?
weight loss supplements, general motors weight loss diet program, acupuncture for weight loss,
The answer of course is that we don't feel these health benefits now; they are as distant from our minds as our expectation of winning the lottery is at the time your ticket is purchased. And therefore these very real and proven future health benefits of weight loss do not provide motivation to lose weight. A thought which has no accompanying emotion has no effect. You have to FEEL the effect of those weight benefits NOW for them to become a motivating force in your quest to lose weight now.
This is why sometimes to lose weight very quickly at the beginning of a diet is a powerful motivating force and predictor of successful weight loss in the long term. Conversely, it can also explain why so many people fail to lose weight as slower weight loss can feel so slow that you do not notice any benefits at all. But the same weight loss programs or methods do not work for everyone. We are all unique and have to focus upon our individual weight loss benefits.
What can you do to bring those long term benefits forward in your mind and see and feel them more clearly right now? For example, if you are overweight and your excess weight is placing stress upon your bones and muscles, you might like to consciously place more awareness upon how your body feels; the simple act of connecting the real pain which you experience now with the knowledge of being overweight can trigger your motivation to lose weight right now. But to keep this motivational effect you have to remain aware of your levels of pain, and relief from pain, as you begin to lose weight. As you feel less pain, this immediate benefit serves to motivate you to keep on losing more weight.
For most of us however, we do not have this immediate feedback in terms of feeling less pain. We still need to experience immediate weight loss benefits to keep our motivation high. We can do this by utilizing our imaginations. You might wonder how this helps, but please bear with me whilst I explain the key role which visualization plays in successful weight loss programs.
When you dream you find yourself vividly imagining things and you experience an immediate emotional reaction, don't you? Night mares are of course the ultimate example of the immediate and intense emotional experience one has when events are vividly seen in your imagination. Those feelings are undeniably felt RIGHT NOW.
Our innate ability to visualize enables us to experience a powerful emotion STRAIGHT AWAY. In a night mare the emotion is negative and scary. But you could intentionally visualize yourself slim and healthy, having lost weight, feeling sexy and looking fantastic. The more vividly you imagine yourself losing weight and feeling sexy, sassy, slender or slim, the more positive emotional energy you will experience; this is the fuel which motivates successful weight loss.
As you visualize yourself slim you bring those long term benefits forward in time, right into the forefront of your mind and so you feel your weight loss benefits right now. You can make your visualizations and emotional fuel more powerful by employing hypnosis.
Hypnosis provides access to your subconscious mind and also frees up your creative juices. Your imagination will thus flow more freely and your visualizations will become more vivid and powerful. Your weight loss benefits inevitably become a powerful magnetic force which pulls you forward to where you want to be - slim, healthy, sexy and happy.

Close-Up View of Galaxy NGC 4314
This image, shows Hubble's close-up view of the galaxy's core, taken in December 1995 by the Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2. The bluish-purple clumps that form the ring are the clusters of infant stars. Two dark, wispy lanes of dust and a pair of blue spiral arms are just outside the star-forming ring. The lanes of dust are being shepherded into the ring by the longer, primary stellar bar seen in the ground-based image. The gas is trapped inside the ring through the stars' gravitational attraction.

You play very well, and you show it. you are a good player, and you are young. Tighten up the screws a little bit, and don't play as sloppy. Your style could use a little variation, too. Don't be scared to make softer music.
