Sometimes Nintendo's weekly downloadable content offerings grant me a broad selection of game-infused paints with which to decorate the canvas of this post. And then there's weeks like these that don't even give me enough to keep a painting metaphor going.
I could try to get excited about Real Bout Fatal Fury Special, if you'd like? Hey look, it's Mai. She's pretty.
Hey look, it's that 6 Golden Coins Mario game! That's like the new game for the 3DS, only with a lot fewer golden coins! No? There's a video of the new game, that's neat, right?
LEGO Olympic recreations? You've already seen them on YouTube? Damn.
Well, the good news is that generally it's the weeks I feel are the most boring that house the hidden gems, so maybe you'll want to take a look at that Commando game, just in case.
Otherwise, here's a list.
Commando: Steel Disaster
Platform: DSi / 3DS
Price: 800 Points / $7.99
Commando: Steel Disaster is a shooting game based on a futuristic military theme. Various sectors of a military group report being attacked by some of their own war machines and that a terrorist organization led by a man named Rattlesnake is at the center of each attack.

Real Bout Fatal Fury Special
Platform: Wii
Price: 900 Points
Originally released in 1997, this fighting game is the sixth installment in the Fatal Fury series. With a system based on previous games in the series, the game introduced a more evolved two-line battle, improved the power gauge system and abolished the ring out system. These and other changes allow for greater strategic diversity. In addition to the 15 characters featured in previous games (Excluding Geese), this game includes Tung Fu Rue, Cheng Sinzan, Laurence Blood and Wolfgang Krauser for a roster of 19 characters, all truly suited to the name Special. They'll duke it out here to see who will come out on top as the strongest.
Touch Battle Tank 3D
Platform: 3DS
Price: $4.99
Only one way to win, Out-gun 'Em All! In Touch Battle Tank 3D, it's you on a solo mission against a nearly unstoppable army of killer tanks. Your strategy – keep the action going and the shells flying! Command either a powerfully armored engine of destruction or a light, agile hit-and-run variety of menacing machines capable of unleashing incredible firepower! The pick up and play ease allows you to use the Circle Pad to pilot your 3D tank and the Touch Screen to take aim in red-hot combat action! Skillfully charge through the multiple battle stages as you face increasing weaponry and constant bombardment. The enemies just keep getting bigger and more determined to crush you. Show them all that when the dust settles, you will be victorious and own the medals to prove it!
A month of Mario
Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins
Platform: 3DS
$3.99 $2.99
Temper-tantrum tyrant seizes Mario Land! In his greatest Game Boy adventure, Mario faces off against his evil rival Wario™, who has captured Mario Land and turned it into his private playground. To toss Wario off his ill-gotten throne, Mario must search new worlds for the six golden coins that unlock the gate to Mario's castle. A mob of monsters, old and new, seek to stop him. Along the way, through six zones, Mario can nab Power Mushrooms, Super Stars and Fire Flowers for extra power. And if he eats the Magic Carrot, he'll turn into a high-flying hare!
New Super Mario Bros. 2 - Warp Cannon Course Video

What It's Selling: Volkswagen Trucks
Where It's At: South America
What This Ad Literally Says: "Volkswagen Trucks. For every kind of load."
What This Ad Intends To Say: All of your consumer goods get delivered in a truck. We make trucks.
What This Ad Suggests: You need Volkswagen trucks like you need milk in your coffee.
Jalopnik Snap Judgment: Other than the unintentional innuendo with the mention of "load" and the creamy milk shot, it's a clean message and a sharp graphic. This is brand messaging, not intended to sell a particular vehicle but rather shore up awareness and positive feelings about VW trucks as a whole. Clever, clever. Another great one from the same series here

But seriously ... I care for the kitten; <smiles> she is very spiritual, like having an affair with a priest. She's grounded without being so deep she forgets to have fun ... and HAVE YOU SEEN HER ROOMMATE??!!

DETROIT, MI--Many Wayne State University Law School students have looked up at the bronze relief sculpture in the hallway of the classroom building and pondered its meaning, but few know that its inspiration was an important Supreme Court case from the 1960s.
Justitia et. al. was created in 1968 by Sergio De Giusti, an art student at Wayne State University at the time who won a contest to produce a work to honor retired Law School Dean Arthur Neef.
"I was interested in the Danny Escobedo case about giving testimony without a lawyer," De Giusti said, referencing Escobedo v. Illinois, 378 U.S. 478 (1964), which held that criminal suspects have a right to counsel during police interrogations and was a precursor for the Miranda decision of 1966.
Five figures emerge from the bronze patina in the massive piece.
"The central figure is a naked justice surrounded by a sleeping judge and a jury seen in the background," De Giusti said. At the bottom left is a man representing anyone subject to the rule of law.
"It was one of the largest reliefs cast in Detroit at that time. It was cast in sections and later welded together. I applied the patina myself. I did not make a profit, but it was very important for my beginning as an artist."
Law School Professor Stephen Calkins recently met De Giusti at a WSU reception. "I've been enchanted by this sculpture ever since I arrived at Wayne," Calkins said. "Sometimes I look at a particular face; sometimes I take in the work as a whole; sometimes I chuckle about how this or that student group has used the work. Through it all, the work has endured. I was thrilled finally to meet the sculptor and learn of the sculpture's origins."
De Giusti has created many other works on campus, including the statue of General Anthony Wayne commissioned to mark the WSU centennial in 1968 and a triptych for the Italian Heritage Room. A native of Maniago, Italy, he received his bachelor of fine arts in 1966 and his master of fine arts in 1968, both from WSU.
He collaborated with David Barr on Transcending, the large, arc-like stainless steel sculpture that stands in Hart Plaza, creating 29 bronze reliefs that are mounted on cut granite stones surrounding the sculpture.
Still a working artist, De Giusti has taught studio art and art history at WSU for 14 years, and has taught sculpture at the College for Creative Studies and the Birmingham-Bloomfield Art Center. He was also a visiting artist at the University of Michigan and University of Wisconsin.

MIAMI (AP) Dwyane Wade scored 24 points, LeBron James added 22 points and 11 assists and the Miami Heat survived a huge rebounding differential to beat the Minnesota Timberwolves 103-92 on Tuesday night.
Chris Bosh scored 15 points and Mario Chalmers added 12 for the Heat, who gave up 21 of the game's first 24 rebounds and wound up getting beaten 52-24 on the boards - yet still won.
Andrei Kirilenko scored 22 for Minnesota, which played without guard Ricky Rubio, who's being eased back after recovering from knee surgery. The Timberwolves dropped their second straight. Kevin Love finished with 11 points and 18 rebounds, and Nikola Pekovic had a 18-point, 12-rebound effort for the Timberwolves.
James topped the 20-point mark for the 27th straight regular-season game and 43rd straight overall.

|Does alternative medicine work for allergies?
Nasal allergies are common in children, and appear to be getting more common all the time. In Chinese medicine, acupuncture is often used to treat allergies. People report great results, but there have not been many scientific studies to verify whether this really works.
Researchers have evaluated a group of school-age children with chronic allergies. Half of the children received 2 sessions a week of acupuncture for 8 weeks; the other half got pretend acupuncture (placebo). In the real acupuncture group, needles were inserted to a depth of 1.2 - 2.4 cm, and the needles were rotated gently every 5 minutes over a 20-minute period in order to achieve 'qi'. For the pretend acupuncture treatments, real needles were used by real acupuncturists at real acupuncture points, but the needles were only inserted 0.3 cm, and they were not rotated -- in order to avoid 'qi'. The children, the parents, and the people evaluating the allergy symptoms didn't know which children were getting real acupuncture.
The results were published in the November 2004 issue of Pediatrics. Those who got real acupuncture had better allergy symptom scores and more symptom-free days, during both the treatment period and the months that followed. The effect lasted for about 10 weeks after the treatments ended -- about the length of an allergy season. Interestingly, when asked what they liked, the kids in the study preferred oral medicines to acupuncture needles, but preferred acupuncture twice a week to commonly prescribed daily steroid nasal sprays. Parents preferred acupuncture to medicines for treating their children. However, more studies need to be done on the effectiveness of acupuncture for the treatment of allergic diseases.
True homeopathic or "like cures like" remedies are often criticized by allopathic (conventional) physicians because the remedies are so diluted that no molecules of the active ingredients remain. Advocates of homeopathy reply that the homeopathic remedies retain some sort of memory of the active ingredients even after they have gone, in much the same way that a soft pillow can recall the shape of a head even after the person has left.
It is not clear if homeopathic remedies work. More research is needed.

Seeing Michael Kiwanuka on the bill at some of last summer's festivals, you saw a talent worth keep an eye on. Often appearing solo accompanied by just an acoustic guitar, Kiwanuka was a natural, likeable presence, delivering a fine line in crafted songwriting. Minds weren't exactly blown, but there was a clear sign of a promising talent. Then the BBC Sounds Of poll happened. Kiwanuka was announced as the most promising talent to look out for, the list of past winners and their success was brought out, and all of a sudden everyone was looking for him to be a big star.
So will he be? Is Home Again the album to turn Michael Kiwanuka into the next Adele or Jessie J? Thankfully, no. At this point, it's also worth pointing out that other winners of the Sounds Of… polls have included Little Boots, Mika and Corinne Bailey Rae, all acts who haven't exactly set the world alight, even if they haven't disappeared from sight altogether. Put Michael Kiwanuka somewhere in between these two positions, and you start to see a more realistic picture.
This is mainly due to the fact that, while Home Again isn't packed with 21-style mega heartbreak anthems, it's still a fine record. The first thing that grabs your attention is the production, which has been handled by Paul Butler of The Bees. There's such warmth, such depth to the sound of Home Again, that it seems startling compared to the digital precision that you might find elsewhere. Opener 'Tell Me A Tale' doesn't just sound like a track inspired by the classic acoustic soul of the Sixties, it feels like a track from that era – the flurry of flutes, strings swooping in and around Kiwanuka's rich vocals. It even closes with a sax solo – you might as well throw in a patchouli joss stick with the deluxe version to light at key moments.
This classic, rich production continues throughout the album, and is the perfect accompaniment to Kiwanuka's Bill Withers-esque voice. The singles 'I'm Getting Ready' and 'Home Again' you'll probable already know, all picked acoustics and plaintive vocals, and this is the most common pattern you find throughout the LP.
In fact, the only real negative about Home Again is that it can be a little bit downbeat, especially when 'Tell Me A Tale' shows how well Kiwanuka can do a brighter, more upbeat track. Of course, you can't force the songs you write into a form that fits, and being a little bit maudlin hasn't hindered Adele. Perhaps the tracklisting could have done with a little shuffle though, spreading the jazzy 'Bones' closer to the sparse trio of songs that bring the album to a close.
It's a minor quibble however, of a record that has clearly been crafted with great care and a terrific talent behind both the songwriting and the production. If it had been released without the Sounds Of fanfare, you'd expect a sense of admiration that'd grow throughout the year, culminating in a Mercury nomination and the establishment of a welcome talent. As it is, Home Again has to face an instant challenge that such hype brings. Once that's died down and people see it's not the next 21, hopefully Home Again will be able to stand out for its own virtues.

The 4th of July is just around the corner, so I figured we'd do a little Independence Day inspired art project.
We simply dipped a porcupine ball in paint and rolled it around a bit...
...then stamped it on black construction paper to make fireworks.
While the paint was still wet, we added some glitter to make it sparkle. (I'm sure glitter paint would work great too!)
We stuck with red, white, and blue, but I think it would be fun to mix colors and see the surprising combinations that explode across the page!

A.J. Casson Biography
(1898 - 1992) Group of Seven, PRCA, OSA, CSPW
When the young A.J. Casson first took a position as design assistant to Franklin Carmichael at the firm of Rous and Mann, he could not have known the remarkable direction his career would take. The demanding but affable Carmichael became a friend, mentor and sketching companion. In fact, it was Carmichael who introduced Alfred Casson to members of the Group of Seven at Toronto's Arts and Letters Club. The dedicated artist began to exhibit with the Group and became a natural successor to Frank Johnston when he left to pursue other interests.
In his depiction of the more settled areas of southern Ontario, A.J. Casson was deliberately seeking out subject matter that set his work apart from the preferred material of other Group of Seven members. Alfred Casson's strong design background shaped a unique painting style, characterized by graceful lines and carefully considered compositions. With the passing of time his style underwent a subtle change in which pattern became an essential element in his work.
In addition to his dedication to excellence in his own work, A.J. Casson was instrumental in the formation of important Canadian art organizations such as the Canadian Society of Painters in Watercolour, the Canadian Group of Painters and the WWII War Artists Program. There can be no doubt that over a long career, which spanned much of the twentieth century, Alfred Joseph Casson left an indelible mark on the Canadian art landscape.

If you somehow get your motorcycle to travel at speeds approaching 200 mph and happen to capture the moment on video, it's best not to post it on YouTube. Or if you do, you should lie about where the video was shot.
When Kelowna, British Columbia police saw a video of someone driving 186 mph though traffic on a motorcycle, they put out the feelers to see who it was so that they could arrest the speeder. Randy George Scott, 25, turned himself in and is now in jail awaiting a hearing.
The video is insane, and Scott can be seen weaving through cars that appear to be standing still. When the video posted online, several people identified him as the culprit.
This just goes to show that if you do decide to drive fast and film it, it's best to crop out the scenery and say you were on the Autobahn.

Fast Food: Wendy's Chili
Would you like fries (or onion rings or chicken tenders) with that?
The first food story I ever wrote for Serious Eats was an unwittingly heretical review of what a Boston-area restaurant and I foolishly called an oyster po'boy. The Louisiana precinct of the Regional Food Authenticity Police promptly informed me otherwise, which didn't diminish my appreciation for Tupelo's excellent fried oyster sandwich but did scare me away from tackling any foods that weren't either nationally ubiquitous or explicitly Northeastern.
This narrowing of my beat didn't bother me at all because, guess what? Lobster rolls and pizza! But then SE's fast food correspondent got busied up with sugar water and grad school, and now here I am trying to fill his supersize shoes.
Though most fast food aims for broad pan-America accessibility, I've noticed that a lot of it has regional pretensions, and I now find myself teetering at the edge of a greasy slope, one false move away from sliding into a hot vat of "What do you know about Cajun popcorn shrimp, you very handsome Yankees devil?"
So when the boss suggested an investigation of Wendy's chili, I initially begged off with pleas of fear and ignorance. Texans take chili too seriously and I didn't want to be the sacrificial ground cow for an army of Hosses looking to be outraged at the notion that a Northerner could have anything worthwhile to say on the matter.
The more I thought about it, though, the more ashamed I became of my cowardice. I eat a lot of chili; it's one of the yardsticks I use to measure a pub's commitment to food. A $4 investment in a cup of chili will tell you a lot about how hard a humble booze-and-chew operation's kitchen is trying.
I'm not a chili pedagogue, so I'm not on the lookout for anything specific when it comes to spice level or viscosity or meat-to-bean ratio. I'm just checking to see how far removed the cook's chili is from the Sysco can. Is it just a monochromatic dirty orange mush flavored with chili powder and hidden under a wet cheddar blanket? Or are there distinct chunks of different things that have at some point known the knife?
And does Wendy's have the right to call their spicy red beef-and-bean stew "chili"? I say yes, they do, which emphatically and forever closes that case, and now we can proceed.
Wendy's is the only fast food chain near me that offers chili and I needed a basis for comparison, so I started my research with a can of Hormel. The most important part of judging fast food is first fixing it in a reasonable context, and I think it's fair to say that Wendy's chili should be better than the leading canned version.
Well, enjoy the low-set bar, Wendy. Hormel is just terrible. It looked OK to my naked and stupid eye, because they managed to engineer a nice deep orangey-red color, and it's very thick. I've had good and bad chilis of all consistencies, but thick bowl-foods generally look more appealing than thin ones, so I got suckered into thinking a few forkfuls of the Hormel might be the perfect fuel to get me on my way to Wendy's.
The Hormel is light on beef, which is a fatal flaw when the scant meat is supplemented with mushy, characterless "red Idaho beans" (says the label) and "textured vegetable protein" (those fake-meat soy crumble things). I could actually tell the difference between the smaller soy chunks and the larger beef nuggets, which was a pleasant surprise, but the solid mediocrity of the beef was not nearly enough to save the chili. The overall texture was pasty and gummy, and the only discernible spice flavor was onion powder.
I dumped that mess down the disposal and walked to Wendy's, licking stray dogs and pay phones along the way to cleanse my palate. The first thing I noticed about Wendy's chili is that it costs little more than the canned crap: $2.19 for about 12 ounces (my pint-looking cardboard container was curiously under-filled), compared to $1.99 for 15 ounces of filthy Hormel. Plus Wendy throws in four saltines and all the napkins and plasticware you can steal.
Wendy's chili isn't much to look at, but it tastes leagues better than Hormel. It's much thinner, but the sparse beef is augmented by plenty of small red kidney beans and pinky-gray pinto beans, and there are cursory bits of tomato skin, onion and, in a huh?-but-harmless touch, celery.
The red beans were so overworked that they nearly popped when bitten, but the pinkish ones were heartier than expected. The beef tasted like it was supposed to, and the chili had notes of garlic and cayenne powders along with the onion.
To make sure my unexpectedly agreeable reaction to Wendy's chili wasn't just Hormel backlash, I headed for the 7-Eleven across the street. You may scoff at the meat sludge that comes from the 7-Eleven condiment station, but the company is headquartered in Dallas, so if they call it chili, it's chili.
It's very bland, and if not for the textural contrast it wouldn't be easy to distinguish from the corn chip on which it sits, but if you close your eyes and think of the Alamo, you can conjure a faint hint of cayenne, which means 7-Eleven chili is better than Hormel.
But it's not as good as Wendy's version. I don't know that I'll ever order Wendy's chili recreationally, but it's not bad considering the price and the competition.

Washington DC Update – Now is the Time to Act on Tax Reform
What Can You Do?
August Recess Is Here – Are You Ready?
Throughout the month of August, your congressional delegation typically puts business on hold in Washington D.C. and heads home. The "August recess" is designed to give members of Congress and their staff some time to reorient, so it's one of the very best times for constituents to meet with their members of Congress. Your advocacy during this period of time means the most because it allows your senator and representative to come face-to-face with the impact of federal preemption legislation, especially because of the deep fiscal effects they have on localities within their districts.
GFOA Submits Letter on IRS Political Subdivision Proposed Regulation
In 2016, many GFOA member organizations responded to proposed regulation that would redefine political subdivisions according to the Internal Revenue Service. These proposed regulations would make it difficult for authorities to issue tax-exempt bonds.
House Subcommittee Holds Hearing on Legislation Affecting State/Local Regulatory and Tax Authority
On July 25, 2017, the House Judiciary's Subcommittee on Regulatory Reform, Commercial and Antitrust Law held a hearing on H.R. 2887, the "No Regulation Without Representation Act of 2017." The bill, sponsored by James Sensenbrenner (R-Wis.), was introduced in the 114th Congress and reintroduced for the 115th in June. GFOA and other national organizations have opposed the bill as a broad preemption of state and local government regulatory and tax authority. Click here to view GFOA's comments for the record.
Senate Finance Committee Holds Hearing on Tax Reform
On July 18, 2017, the U.S. Senate Finance Committee held its second tax reform hearing of this Congress, "Comprehensive Tax Reform: Prospects and Challenges." While the hearing focused on broad principles and challenges to reforming the federal tax code, it did involve some discussion on the state and local tax (SALT) deduction. Preserving the SALT deduction has been a long-standing priority for GFOA, and it remains so as the debate on tax reform evolves. Committee members heard from four individuals who served as Assistant Secretary for Tax Policy in the U.S. Treasury Department.
Protecting Local Control in Our Tax Code
On July 11, 2017, Government Finance Officers Association's (GFOA) Executive Director, Chris Morrill, will moderate a panel discussion with The Big Seven before Congress about state and local tax (SALT) deduction.

GFOA Submits Second Comment Letter on MSRB Rule to Require CUSIPS for Private Placements
On June 30, 2017, GFOA filed comments requested by the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board (MSRB) on a second draft of its amendments to Rule G-34. The amendments are intended to clarify exceptions to the proposed rule on obtaining CUSIPs for securities sold in private placement transactions.
Striving for Level 5 Leadership
Don't confuse leadership with personality, warned best-selling author and leadership expert Jim Collins in an address to delegates at GFOA's 111th Annual Conference on May 22, 2017. Charisma is a personality trait, and leadership is not about personality – so it's OK if a leader has what Collins calls a "charisma bypass." In fact, he suggested that might be for the best, and that organizations need to put aside the notion that charisma necessarily leads to success.

The historical odds of Denver having a white Christmas
Since 1882, snowfall in Denver on Dec. 25 has brought a white Christmas just 19 times.
As meteorologists told The Denver Post earlier today, it's beginning to look a lot like (a snowless) Christmas for the Denver area this year.
It seems warming temperatures and a break in storm fronts could leave the Front Range high and dry for the holiday. Even still, the National Weather Service in Boulder has mined hundreds of years of weather records to determine the probability of Denver having a white Christmas.
According to records beginning in 1900, when snow depth measurements began, there is a 38 percent chance of having at least one inch of snow on the ground on Christmas Day.
But if you're a white Christmas purist, and having a white Christmas means snow actually falling on Christmas Day, the odds drop to 14 percent. It has snowed on only 19 Christmas Days since 1882, when snowfall measurements began.
If you recall, last year was one of those 19 times. Snow began falling late in the afternoon on Christmas 2014 and continued through the night. By midnight, 3.4 inches had officially been recorded at Denver International Airport — the third-most snow to fall on the day since 1882.
Denver has yet to see a major snowstorm on Christmas Day, according to NWS records. The most snow to fall on Dec. 25 was 7.8 inches in 2007. The most snow to be on the ground on Christmas Day, however, came the day before when 24 inches fell during the massive Christmas Eve Blizzard of 1982.
And for those bemoaning the thought of snow on Christmas, remember back to 2005 when temperatures reached a balmy 69 degrees.

2 Min Demo: Verwalten von IC-Transaktionen
Mit CCH Tagetik können Benutzer in einer benutzerfreundlichen Umgebung Transaktionen zu den Intercompany-Matches überprüfen, hinzufügen und anpassen. Dieses Video zeigt, wie diese Transaktionen während des Close- und Konsolidierungsprozesses intelligent verwaltet werden können.
Managing inter-company transactions using CCH Tagetik.
In the previous two minute video I discussed how we run the IC cockpit, but how do the transactions that get used in the IC cockpit get into the system and how do we adjust them, once they're there.
Well, one approach is to run one of our QTL or ETL processes, two source these directly from a third-party database or the ERP system itself.
Another approach is to run this cockpit, this will open up the table that houses those intercompany transactions, to see the amounts as well as the counterparty relationships, but there's more you can do here: if you wish to add transactions manually, you simply do that by hitting the plus over here and filling in the appropriate information over here on the right using the provided dropdowns.
You'll fill in the entity currency amount and if you wish you can also enter a different transactional currency amount provided you to identify the transactional currency that it took place in.
You'll want to add a note because when I go to hit save the system will actually know that this particular transaction wasn't sourced by a third-party but was sourced by me.
Finally we can also manage the transactions here, inside the intercompany cockpit, now as you can see as you recall we have matches appeare but in this case there's additional information: we have Chicago's already locked their relationship vis-à-vis me New York, so when I go to look at these transactions I only have the option to show the IC, however down here in New York and Rome are still work in progress and here we have a mismatch but now when I select on this to have the ability to edit the IC.
When I open it up you can see the transactions that are used of course, one in US dollars, one in Euros, but maybe in discussing this with my Rome counterpart it's been revealed that I entered the wrong amount for the US side, so now I want to make an adjustment to account for this.
So this is how you can do it: I go ahead and hit the plus down here and again make the appropriate selections over here on the right, you fill in the amount as well as the invoice currency and of course you're going to add a note explaining exactly how you came about this, now I want to go ahead and hit save.
The system will not only save that note, it will also save the amount and it will note it on my dashboard with this underlined that an adjustments had been made by myself, so they'll never be any confusion as to where these transactions came about when doing your intercompany matching.

Mo'olelo's play inspired by horrific violence unfurls with surprisingly calm, poetic power
For a play inspired by horrific violence, "The Amish Project" at Mo'olelo Performing Arts Company unfurls with surprisingly calm, poetic power. Playwright Jessica Dickey penned and first performed this beautifully written solo piece in 2008, just two years after the fatal shooting of five girls taken hostage along with their classmates at an Amish school in
Actor Iliana Carter performs the 85-minute piece at Mo'olelo, morphing through seven roles including two of the girls, the gunman and his haunted wife. The real subject of "The Amish Project," however, is not violence but forgiveness, the quality of compassion offered by the Amish community to the shooter's wife and family on the very day he took the girls' lives and then, ringed in by police, killed himself.
The Amish Project
When: 7:30 p.m. Thursdays-Saturdays; 2 p.m. Sundays. Through Oct. 20.
Where: Mo`olelo Performing Arts Company, 10th Avenue Theatre and Arts Centre, 930 10th Ave.
Tickets: $15-$30; discounts available.
Phone: (619) 342-7395
Online: moolelo.net
Though Dickey adheres to the basic facts of the case, the characters are fictional. So instead of a big cast docudrama like Moises Kaufmann's "The Laramie Project" about the homophobia-bred murder of Matthew Shepherd, "The Amish Project" offers a focused meditation on the quality of mercy as it impacts an imagined cross section of the Pennsylvania town.
Set designer David F. Weiner also conceives the world of the play poetically. Onstage is the simple wood frame of the schoolhouse, its floor already a grassy field, a tree growing through its roof and a beautiful cloud-flecked sky visible beyond its windows. The only props are a small blackboard, a straight-back chair and a beat-up tool chest.
Director Delicia Turner Sonnenberg subtly maps the terrain of the stage so there's rarely any confusion about which character is speaking during this collage of scenes. Carter wears traditional Amish clothes throughout — a modest blue dress and apron, dark stockings and lace-up shoes, a white bonnet under which her dark hair is neatly tucked. At first she's young Velda, a precocious child sharing her own romantic dreams and describing her older sister, Anna.
In one ingenious directorial touch, Velda draws on the chalkboard little stick figures of her and her sister in their bonnets, their father in his flat brimmed hat. The specificity of language in Dickey's script and such detail in Sonnenberg's direction allow Carter to create differences among the characters with small changes of posture and voice.
The playwright avoids all the potential minefields of preachiness, exploitation and sentimentality in this painful subject matter. She creates a college professor, Bill, who has studied the Amish and their ways for decades. And though, at first, he seems a device to provide exposition for the audience, he soon becomes as real as the others, a man with a history and a need to resolve his own guilt into self-forgiveness.
The liveliest of these word portraits is America, a Latina grocery clerk, with troubles of her own, and a natural empathy for the shooter's bullied wife. Carter is wonderful in those scenes, a plucky teenager embroiled with her mother and happily bewildered when the circle of forgiveness extends eventually even to her.
Dickey doesn't attempt to explain the motives of the shooter, here called Eddie Stuckey. And neither does Carter try to make him likable. She creates of him just a regular guy, a milkman whose affectless suicide note suggests he's snapped from chronic depression into an illness far worse. The most conventionally dramatic moment comes when Carter's Stuckey pops open the toolbox and the items inside show that he intended to bind and rape the girls before killing them.
After that, the play resumes its steady, almost stately pace back toward its quietly devastating and truly thought-provoking conclusion.

Hcc1 necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 134 diseños de 25 diseñadores freelance.
We a a small group up developers bootstrapping a social media website and mobile web application that will help people decide where to go by knowing where the crowd is now.
The audience for this Logo and Icon are people who are frequenting bars, restaurants and any other social gathering place.
The Logo will be used next to a square QR code and the words "Scan the Code. Know the Crowd" will be below the QR code. This will be placed on stickers, place cards, tent cards, etc to be located at participating venues. The object is to get people to log in with their mobile devices to tell us what is happening now.
The winning design will look great in either Color or Black & White. It will include a Logo and an Icon that can be used as a iPhone app Icon.
The Logo should work equally well on a webpage, mobile phone app, business card, letterhead, tent card on a bar, sticker on a bathroom wall, or posted on the front window of a restaurant. It will be classy yet immediately attract attention. The logo does not need the .com in the name WuzUpNow is fine.
The Icon should be sized for the iPhone and a larger version should work well in Point of Purchase print ads. Ideally, a small 16x16 pixel version would also maintain its identity and look good as well. The design of the Icon might convey the concept of "checkin" (without confusion with the foursquare icon) or maybe concept of measurement as in a thermometer or speedometer. The idea is to create a easily memorable, unique icon that people will associate with reporting on crowd activity or associate with getting reports of crowd activity.
The design of the icon and the message it conveys is the area that we are looking for the most creative input. The typeface and color scheme of the WuzUpNow name should simply support the icon and attract memorable attention. The Icon will be used alone often. WuzUpNow will mostly be accompanied by the icon and will be used alone only rarely.

The Good:
This is definitely a great driver. It makes a distinct sound as your swing slices the driver through the air on warmups. Upon proper ball contact you should see a difference in your driving distance if you have a good swing. As an added bonus your ball will leave a dusty fingerprint on the clubheads mirror liquidmetal surface and will show you exactly where you made contact.
The Bad: This club is somewhat pricey, but again is supposed to be well worth every dollar. It also is not as forgiving for slices as some other drivers. Thus, you need a decent
swing if you're going to see some improvement with this driver.
Overall: If you can afford it and have a good swing, this driver will be an asset to your bag and will make you the envy of your friends.

RozBeste necesitaba un nuevo diseño de papelería y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 136 diseños de 27 diseñadores freelance.
I'm just starting my own business in Canberra, Australia and I'm in need of a logo and business card. My business is visiting clients' homes or businesses to provide computer training, advice, set-up or repair.
Typical work would be setting up a wireless network, removing viruses from a computer, fixing a computer problem or training someone on Microsoft Excel.
Being female is unusual among on-site technicians so I want my business to use this feature to stand out.
The image I want to portray is female (so probably red or pink), warm, friendly, nice but with professional, quality, reliable service.
Ideally the business card would also have one or more of my Microsoft certification logos (probably on the reverse side)
All customers are welcome, but I'd probably be targeting women business owners and women home users who would prefer to be taught by (or have their computer fixed by) a woman - maybe because they are nervous of a strange male coming into their home or small business.
Older computer users are also a target market as they may feel that a female would be more patient, honest and fair with them.
The logo will use the word Geekette - possibly just the word with nice formatting or maybe including some graphic (if you want to draw me somehow, I have a pony tail, no glasses and I'm most likely to wear jeans and a polo shirt - no skirts, high heels or make-up, please - I am a geek after all!)
The business card needs the following information:
Geekette - Computer training, advice, setup and repair
On the reverse of the card:
Training in: Excel, Access, Outlook, Photoshop and more
Fix your PC
Set up your wireless network
Remove a virus
Also on the card, one or more microsoft logos. Microsoft are very touchy about their logos as follows:
Microsoft Logos can appear in two colors or in black-and-white.
Color Pantone Match 4-Color Process RGB Hex
Green PMS 357 C89 + M0 +Y100 + K39 R0 + G88 + B37 #005825
Blue PMS 279 C70% + M30% R0 + G153 + B255 #0099FF
Microsoft Logo may not be combined with any other object, including, but not limited to, other logos, icons, words and graphics.
A minimum amount of space must be left between the Logo and any other object such as type, other logos, borders or edges. The required border of space around the logo must be "x" wide, where "x" equals the height of the word "Microsoft" in the Logo.
The minimum acceptable size for the Microsoft Logo is 1 inch (2.54 cm) long in print

Back Again
Reflecting back on the 2012 season, the one I've labeled, "the season of disbelief," it reminded me of another such season in Phillies history.
1976-77-78 we won the eastern division crown and failed to make it to the World Series each year. (There was only one round of postseason play before the Series back then).
During the winter meetings in 1978, we had the biggest free agent signing, Pete Rose, $3,225,000. He was the missing link to get us to the World Series. Leader, Mr. Hustle, plenty of postseason experience with the Reds.
Fresh from back-to-back 101 win seasons in '77-78, we finished fourth in 1979. Late in that season, Danny Ozark was replaced by Dallas Green. The elusive World Series title finally came in 1980.
The "season of disbelief" has carried over to other teams in the postseason:
**The Reds hadn't lost three in a row at home this season until the NLDS.
**The Giants have hit the fewest homers among the postseason teams yet they hit three in one game in Cincinnati to win a game.
**The Giants starting pitching, supposedly their strength, has struggled but they are now 1-1 in the NLCS. Last night was the first time their starter lasted into the 6th inning.
**Without Pujols and Furcal, the Cardinals keep on winning, including a giant come-from-behind clincher over the Nationals. Twice they were down to their last strike and yet won that game.
**The Nationals, owners of the most wins in the league, saw their season end in disbelief.
**The Orioles had won 16 straight extra inning games and were 76-0 after the eighth inning until they ran into the Yankees.
**Ibanez is the first player ever to hit three homers after the eighth inning.
**The Yankees can't hit. Cano leads the way with 2-32.
**The Rangers, in the World Series the last two years, were eliminated by the Orioles in the wildcard playoff.
Exclusive Company
Adam Greenberg and Fred Van Dusen have something in common. They are the only players ever to be hit by a pitch in their lone big-league at-bat.
It happened to Greenberg seven years ago while with the Cubs. Van Dusen, 1955 with the Phillies.
The Marlins brought Greenberg back during the final game of the season to pinch hit. They also flew in Van Dusen and his wife for the special occasion.
There's a great story in www.phillies.com/alumni about these two guys. Check it out.
Happy Birthday
Today, closer Jack Baldschun, 76 and catcher/broadcaster Tim McCarver, 71.
A reminder you can follow the day-by-day adventures of Phillies postseason history and fondest postseason memory of Alumni on www.phillies.com/alumni.

Given Apple's recent Q2 numbers indicating a 113% growth in iPhone sales, it's no real surprise that people love their iOS devices. Many businesses and organizations have been slowly loosening their grip on forcing employees to use 'sanctioned' devices (read: BlackBerrys) in order for provisioning and providing support on their corporate network. Employees are now being allowed to put their consumer devices to business use, provided they meet certain requirements. The US government is no different.
The US Department of Commerce recently signed off on a $44,000 purchase of 'Apple Equipment', which consists of 55 iPad 2 tablets and 5 16GB iPhone 4s. The acquisition request was put through by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and was approved just a few days ago. One of the most relevant things to keep in mind, is that NIST provides mandates and standard procedures for FISMA (Federal Information Security Management Act of 2002). Among other things, FISMA governs the development, documentation and implementation of information security and information systems within government agencies. Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) are used to define standards developed by the US federal government for implementation in computer systems. This is where FIPS-140-1 and FIPS-140-2 come into play, which define a standard for cryptography modules.
As seen above, NIST has recently updated their Cryptographic Module Validation Program Process List (PDF) to include both the iPad and iPhone FIPS cryptographic module tests. Both are in IUT (Implementation Under Testing) phase as of August 1st, 2011. This comes just after RIM announced the PlayBook to be the first FIPS-140-2 compliant tablet for deployment within federal agencies.
Could this be an indicator that the US government is aggressively looking to bring iOS devices to their federal workforce instead of simply renewing contracts with Research in Motion for legacy BlackBerry devices? RIM has had the government supply market locked up for decades, it's a very strict niche, but if anybody can force their way through, it's Apple.

Most hilarious California political story of the holiday season so far: Assembly Speaker John Perez and State Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg are running for lieutenant governor in 2018!
At least, the Sacramento Bee reports that Perez and Steinberg have opened campaign accounts to raise money for the lieutenant governorship in that year.
U.S. & World
And why not? The race is less than six years away!
In trying to fashion a reaction, I'm reminded of the words of many, many novelists who say how hard it is to invent fiction than surpasses non-fiction.
For how often do you see top elected officials formally announce that they intend to seek a taxpayer-funded vacation, six years in advance?
It's like one of Tony Soprano's crew declaring, years ahead of time, that he'll eventually take one of those no-show jobs at the Newark docks. Or Gary Busey declaring that he intends to be a full-time bum in some years hence.
Yes, yes, the lieutenant governor does have a few narrow duties (serving on higher education boards and the State Lands Commission), and the current occupant of the office, Gavin Newsom, has done as much with the post as one possibly can.
But as Newsom himself has acknowledged, it's an unnecessary job. And it's a complete waste of time and energy and talent to put a smart, hardworking politician in such a gig. Perez and Steinberg are both smart and hardworking, so why would they throw away their lives?
Beats me. As I've written before, the lieutenant governorship is the perfect gig for writers who need a day job of no real importance so they can pay the bills while they think and write. In other words, I'm the perfect candidate.
So let me announce here my candidacy for lieutenant governor in 2018. As someone with no qualifications to do public service, I am obviously the best qualified candidate – and far better qualified than Perez and Steinberg for the job.
I promise to resign if governor dies and turn things over to whoever is next in the line of succession. My only agenda will be to end the job. When it comes to my other duties, I'll die not trying.

Some of our main application processes hanged today (not the database only the processes) while i was at lunch time. When I arrived the company my manager asked me to look at the database for understanding the cause of hang. I simply realised that there is a lock on somewhere which is waiting other sessions.
I followed the following way to understand what was going on for solving the problem.
1- who is blocking
select holding_session from dba_blockers;
2- what is he blocking
select sid,serial#,sql_text,username from v$sql s,v$session se where se.sql_id=s.sql_id where sid='holder';
3- when i looked in the sql_text i understood session is working on table X
after that i looked at what is the type of lock for being sure about the cause of the problem.
/*who is locking ? what type of lock ?*/
select A.sid,A.type,DECODE (A.REQUEST,
0,'None' ,
1, 'Null' ,
2, 'Row-S' ,
3, 'Row-X' ,
4, 'Share' ,
5, 'S/Row-X',
6, 'Exclusive'
DECODE( A.lmode,
0,'None' ,
1, 'Null' ,
2, 'Row-S' ,
3, 'Row-X' ,
4, 'Share' ,
5, 'S/Row-X',
6, 'Exclusive'
0, 'None' ,
from v$lock A, v$locked_object B, dba_objects C
where B.session_id=A.sid and C.object_id = B.object_id
AND OWNER='OWNER' and c.object_name='X;
4- The session was one of the DBA's session so the session could be killed and i killed the session
alter system kill session 'sid,serial#'
5-I looked back to blockers table and became sure that the problem is solved.
select holding_session from dba_blockers;

Along the leading edge of the invading polar blast, accumulating snow will spread from the Midwest to the East Coast on Tuesday.
The snow will come courtesy of yet another Alberta Clipper set to drop through the Dakotas and Ohio Valley on Monday through Monday night with accumulations on the order of a coating to 2 inches.
The snow will become heavier as it streaks across the mid-Atlantic on Tuesday, then makes a northeastward turn toward southern New England late in the day and evening.
Travel conditions will deteriorate with slippery roads and flight delays expected to unfold. As colder air invades the storm, winds will increase and cause some blowing and drifting of the snow.
For part of the mid-Atlantic such as the District of Columbia and a large part of Virginia, Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, and southeastern New York state including Long Island, this could unfold to be the biggest snowfall of the season so far.
The storm could rival the storm from early December in parts of southeastern Pennsylvania and Delaware.
According to Winter Weather Expert Brian Wimer, "For Washington, D.C., this could be the biggest storm since Jan. 26, 2011, when about 5 inches of snow fell."
Accumulations of 3 to 6 inches are forecast over a heavily populated part of the mid-Atlantic to southeastern New England.
The mountains of Virginia and West Virginia will likely have upwards of 6 inches from this quick-moving storm. Other locations near the mid-Atlantic and southeastern New England coast have a chance at a 6- to 12-inch snowfall.
Senior Meteorologist Bernie Rayno stated, "The heavy snow may expand northward along the coast, as the storm approaches the Atlantic Ocean and taps into more moisture."
Much less snow will fall over northern Pennsylvania, upstate New York and the northwestern part of New England. In these areas cold, dry air will win out.
"Even though the storm is coming during the day Tuesday, Washington, D.C., Baltimore, Roanoke and Richmond, Va., Dover, Del., Philadelphia, New York City, and Atlantic City, N.J., will have enough snow to shovel and plow," Wimer stated.
Accumulating snow is also forecast for southeastern New England, especially on Cape Cod, Mass. AccuWeather.com meteorologists will continue to monitor the storm for the possibility of more of southern New England experiencing this steadier snow band.
Will It Snow on Feb. 2 in East Rutherford, N.J.?
Interactive Radar for the South
Forecast Temperature Maps
With a few inches of snow in the forecast, Tuesday's snow could lead to slick roads and even some flight delays.
Motorists planning to travel along I-64, I-66, I-68, I-70, I-81 and I-95 should use caution and prepare for possible slowdowns. Gusty and chilly winds developing on the back side of the clipper will blow the snow around, causing some reduction in visibility for motorists.
A little snow will even drop southward to Greenville, S.C., and Charlotte and Raleigh, N.C., on Tuesday. A coating to an inch of snow is forecast in these areas Tuesday afternoon and evening.
In the wake of the snow, the door will open for cold air to settle across the entire East for midweek. Highs on Wednesday will be held 10 to 20 degrees below normal, even down to Miami.
Sunday morning was the coldest so far this winter across most of South Florida. Frost even made a rare appearance in Naples and the western suburbs of the Palm Beach metro area.
Wednesday night will not be as cold as Sunday morning, but frost could return to the coldest interior locations of the Florida Peninsula.
After the midweek cold snap, another dose of cold air will follow later in the week for the South.
Senior Meteorologist Alex Sosnowski contributed content to this story.

DECstation is the name for a MIPS-based workstation series manufactured by DEC during the 90s. The major models have been the DECstation 2100/3100, the DECstation 5000/1xx, the DECstation 5000/2xx and the Personal DECstation 5000/xx series. They are supported to a varying degree by Linux/MIPS. The major Linux distribution that supports them is the Debian/mipsel port.
Processor Options
DECstations have been equipped with various CPU types ranging from the MIPS R2000 (in the models 2100 and 3100), MIPS R3000 (in the models 5000/20, /25, /33; 5000/120, /125, /133, 5000/200 and /240) over the MIPS R4000 (in the models 5000/50 and 5000/150) to the MIPS R4400 in the model 5000/260.
The models 2100 and 3100 can be equipped with up to 24MB of RAM, for the 5000/xx the limit is at 40MB, the 5000/1xx can take up to 128MB and the /2xx models can theoretically be brought to a maximum of 480MB. Memory modules are DEC-specific: the 5000/xx and /1xx take small-sized 80pin SIMMs with either 2MB or 8MB; in the /2xx series you find quite big daugtercards with either 8MB or 32MB per card.
Graphics Options
The Personal DECstation 5000/xx has onboard graphics which can display 1024x768 pixels with 8bit color. The DECstation 5000/1xx and /2xx series do not have onboard graphics but are normally equipped with a TurboChannel graphics adapter. The DECsystem 5000/1xx and /2xx are headless variants of the equivalent DECstation series, which can be "converted" to a DECstation by adding a graphics board.
Up to now, only a few graphics options are (at least partially) supported by Linux-MIPS:
- Personal DECstation onboard graphics: 8bit color, 1024x768 pixels
- PMAG-A: monochrome, 1280x1024 pixels
- PMAG-B: 8bit color, 1024x864 pixels, dumb framebuffer
- PMAGB-B: 8bit color, 1280x1024 pixels, smart framebuffer (acceleration features unsupported in Linux/MIPS)
Storage Options
SCSI cotroller is based on the NCR 53C90 also known as ESP216 or asc.
