[ed. SANDERS, Ed]
4to, 40 tangerine mimeographed leaves, unpaginated, secured by staples running the length of left edge. Dampstaining to last few leaves causing a little ruching and wear, but staples remain tight. A very good copy.
First edition. Issue Number 7 of this key publication of the Mimeograph Revolution. Presented, confusingly as Number 5 Volume 2. Printed in May 1963.
In the 'fifties and 'sixties, one-man underground publishing enterprises such as the Fuck You Press rarely got past Issue One -- indeed, many failed even to get that far. Fuck You, A Magazine For The Arts ran for thirteen issues between 1962 and 1965, featured contributors comprising most of the principal cast of that period's counterculture scene, and is now acknowledged as one of the main freeways connecting the end of the Beats to the beginning of the Yippies. In Sanders' own words, 'Fuck You was part of what they called the Mimeograph Revolution, and my vision was to reach out to the 'best minds' of my generation with a message of Gandhian pacifism, great sharing, social change, the expansion of personal freedom (including the legalisation of marijuana), and the then-stirring messages of sexual liberation.'
Contributors to this issue include Nelson Barr, Ray Bremser, Lenore Kandel -- and making his first appearance, Peter Orlovsky, whose contribution Second Sex Experiment is a description of a jerk-off session with his long-term lover Allen Ginsberg in the form of a Socratic dialogue. (Later, Ginsberg himself become a contributor to the magazine).
Around 500 copies of each issue were produced, firstly on the nearby Catholic Worker's Speed-O-Print and later on an A.B. Dick stencil duplicator. They were then distributed free of charge wherever Sanders found himself.
A very good copy.

Topic: Is the source for the Flickr PostCardViewer also available?
I'm working on sort of a pro-bono project (getting married and trying to swap some services w/the photographer.)
The PostCardViewer works very closely to the way my client wanted his photographs laid out.
We're seriously looking at using Flickr to manage his photos and the Flickr PostCardViewer does pretty much what I need, but I'd just need to browse galleries instead of search.
If I buy the PostCardViewer source, can I also get the Flickr PostCardViewer code? If not, what would you charge for that?

Nicole Aniston Busty Blonde Goes Hardcore in her Back Yard
Nicole Aniston walks on the artificial grass wearing only her shoes and blue panties. Her bra lies unworn on a nearby bench while her lover plants his lips over her inviting nipples. The suburban backyard is transformed into a set for a porn scene as Nicole looks through the camera at you while her man has his way with her breathtaking body. He pulls her panties down and bends her over. Even as she is being penetrated in doggy-style, she gazes back over her shoulder to beckon you with her gaze.

If you guys have any questions, comments, or suggestions just leave them in the comments!
Dragon's Maze, the final set in the hugely popular Return to Ravnica block, draws nigh. Already we've heard about shockland re-reprints, a guild versus guild footrace, and at least 10 new multicolor legends to fuel the Commander fire.
The prerelease for Dragon's Maze is set for April 27-28, so be sure to check with your local store about specific times and entrance fees. The one card you know you'll get (although you can't play with it this time)? Maze's End. It's a little funny to me that the first card you get upon "entering" the Maze is, in fact, the very end of the Maze. That aside, Maze's End is a very interesting card to touch upon, so I'm going to be covering it in a two-part article series.
Here's the BW Tokens deck Brian took to the SCG Open in Charlotte earlier this month. If you want to hear all about how the deck worked and all the stories and whatnot that go with it, you should listen to the first part of Episode 218. He went into detail about all his rounds and how the deck was working and all that good stuff!
By the way, I'm posting this under his name because it's his deck and so he'll be notified of comments. He's not pompous enough to be talking about himself in the third person.
In the fall of 2004 between Mirrodin block and Kamigawa block, Brian tried his hand at set design with a set of 150 cards. Other than updating to use modern templating and keywords, these are exactly as Brian created them. It's a look back at Brian's take on old school set design. Chewie and Mike added some commentary just for good measure. You can also read the White, Blue, Black, Red, and Green cards. We hope you enjoy this trip back as much as we do!
Finally, we've got the artifact, multicolor, and land cards. Each and every artifact (except Goblin Prototype, who is just weird) is essentially based around a pre-existing card, not necessarily an artifact. Can you guess all of them? The common land cards are probably too good; New Benalia is proof of that. Nevertheless, scry always had a lot of potential to me in a limited setting, and I thought the lands were a way to give each player access to library manipulation regardless of color. I was always curious as to where they would fit in a draft pick order. Frozen Plane was another attempt at a card with constructed applications. All of the multicolor cards were fun to design, but the rares were especially so. Spirit of Rage is particularly vicious; good thing I've never been attacked by one. Hope you enjoyed the set. Let me know what you think of it, and thanks for reading!
In the fall of 2004, which was between Mirrodin block and Kamigawa block, Brian wanted to try his hand at set design. So he made a set of 150 cards. Other than some templating work and new terminology and keywords, these are exactly as Brian originally created them. It's an interesting look back at old school set design, as well as Brian's personal spin on it. Chewie and Mike added some commentary just for good measure. You can also read the White, Blue, Black, and Red cards. We hope you enjoy this trip back as much as we do!
Here are the green cards. The most obvious theme is with the Fullroot creatures, who don't really like to remain in the graveyard. All but the one-cost Speaker have a higher casting cost than the cost to reanimate, with the thought that within the set there were not many discard outlets to cheat them into play. When I made them, I thought that they were pretty fair. For a while afterword, I thought they were probably too good. With the quality of creatures these days and cards like Reassembling Skeleton (which is arguably better since the cost can be played any time), I'm back to thinking that they're probably okay. Other than the Fullroots, there are some other interesting cards here. Hillside Nest should probably be a rare. Oakwood Sage is kind of silly for limited, but then again, I'm a silly guy. It's kind of funny to me that Terran Colossus is pretty much worse than Primeval Titan – creatures really are better these days, aren't they? One final section on the way, but in the meantime, give us your thoughts.

SUSPERIA, the extreme melodic metal band from Norway, will release a special-edition EP entitled "Devil May Care", later in the year via Tabu Recordings. The EP is expected to contain some of the cover songs that the group have occasionally been performing at selected shows, including "Lack of Comprehension" (originally recorded by DEATH), "Wild Child" (originally recorded by W.A.S.P.) and the much-sought-after version of "The Sun Always Shines On TV" (a worldwide hit for fellow Norwegians A-HA). The CD will also include the "Unlimited" album track "Devil May Care" as well as a new song, "Venting the Anger". As an added bonus, the release will contain the promo videos for "Chemistry" and "Devil May Care".
SUSPERIA released their third full-length album, "Unlimited", last year through the Tuba label in Europe and Candlelight in the USA. The album went on to become a firm favorite with both fans and media around the world, being recognized with a nomination in the "Metal" category at Norway's prestigious Alarm awards. The video for the song "Chemistry" continues to receive regular airplay through such video outlets as MTV2's "Headbanger's Ball", Havoc TV, NRK and Scuzz.

How to balance aesthetic tastes (Kant, Beethoven, Homer, etc.) with political commitments is an unanswered philosophical question, as far as I know. In addition, political commitments may clash with a taste for creative, but politically uncorrect authors: Nietzsche, Dostoyevsky, T.S. Eliot, even contemporary figures of lesser weight such as Mario Vargas Llosa or Michel Houellebecq. One learns fairly young that the most creative authors are not necessarily the most politically correct ones and that certain aesthetic pleasures seem "sinful" from the point of view of one's political commitments. I guess one has to play it by ear in this area, so to speak.

Were you familiar with his critique of Marx? of his work on race in general?

You've probably read the other Tobias Wolff's childhood memoir, "This Boy's Life," if only out of curiosity. If not, I can't recommend it strongly enough. It's a testimony to sublimation. Equally good, though very different, is his brother Geoffrey's "The Duke of Deception."

Twins for Twin Sisters All Over Again!
Seeing double? Identical sisters Kerri Bunker and Kelli Wall are both moms to one set of fraternal twins each. Remarkably, the sisters are at it again—pregnant at the same time, with another double dose of fun due next year.
"To have twins twice is incredible," Wall said. (We think so too!)
In keeping with the all-in-the-family theme, the sisters are also teachers at the same school, where their principal used to mix them up often. Plus, the gals married best friends!
And adding to the family fun is Bunker's 2-year-old daughter, Sadie, who provides a unique twist to the gang: she's a solo child with no sidekick to share a birthday with, which is pretty cool for her.
So how are the sisters so in sync? The first set of fraternal kiddos were born when the sisters used in vitro fertilization after they both struggled to get pregnant. The next time around, neither woman underwent in vitro. Wall learned she was pregnant first, in June. On a hunch, Bunker took a pregnancy test two weeks later, which was positive. Both were shocked to discover it was twins again. That's a lot of toys and pacifiers to go around!
Bunker says her twins, 3-year-olds Kole and Hallie, and Wall's 4-year-old twins, Madison and McKell, are best buddies and adorably protective of each other.
The bond between sibs is a great thing. And as for what it's like to have all these twins around: "Truthfully, there's nothing better than having a best friend with you all the time," Wall said.

A quick Google or Bing search and you'll find no limit to the number of articles on databases that tell you that using "SELECT *" is a terrible terrible thing to do. Your code will be more fragile. It is bad for your data dictionary. You'll end up with conflicts when you join, the list goes on. You can find a more reasoned argument from Markus Winand but ultimately for the majority of the time, the potential drawbacks outweigh any convenience benefits of using SELECT *.
Some time ago I've demonstrated the non-cost based decision for applying the temp table transformation when using CTEs (Common Table/Subquery Expressions). In this note I want to highlight another aspect of this behaviour.Consider the following data creating a table with delibrately wide columns:
create table a
rownum as id
, rownum as id2
, rpad('x', 4000) as large_vc1
, rpad('x', 4000) as large_vc2
, rpad('x', 4000) as large_vc3
connect by
level <= 1000
exec dbms_stats.gather_table_stats(null, 'a')
There are at least three different ways how the Oracle optimizer can come up with a so called TEMP table transformation, that is materializing an intermediate result set:- As part of a star transformation the repeated access to dimensions can be materialized- As part of evaluating GROUPING SETs intermediate result sets can be materialized- Common Subquery/Table Expressions (CTE, WITH clause)Probably the most common usage of the materialization is in conjunction with the WITH clause.This is nothing new but since I came across this issue several times recently, here's a short demonstration and a reminder that this so called "TEMP Table Transformation" - at least in the context of the WITH clause - isn't really cost-based, in contrast to most other optimizer transformations nowadays - although the unnest transformation of subqueries also has a "no-brainer" variant where costing isn't considered.The logic simp
After doing a number of 12c installations, I decided it was time to write something new. I figured I'd pick something easy to start off with, so here is the first thing off the press.

BUSINESSES must do more to combat crime, a meeting in Huddersfield has heard.
David Sykes, senior consultant with the Government-backed advice and support group Crime Concern, said many firms under-estimated the impact of crime on their operations.
And he urged them to promote the message of crime prevention among their employees.
Speaking the Mid Yorkshire Chamber of Commerce Kirklees area council, Mr Sykes said: "Firms must get employees to recognise that crime against their company could cost them their jobs."
Mr Sykes, a former policeman in Huddersfield, said many businesses were now run by managers who did not live in the area or know the area well.
They were often ignorant of local patterns of crime, anti-social behaviour or vandalism which could affect their business.
He said Crime Concern was working with companies, local authorities, health authorities and the police to tackle crime and its causes.
Mr Sykes said: "Crime affects business in many ways.
"For example, if an employee is assaulted and off work, that has an impact on production and efficiency.
"A crime-hit area with burnt-out cars and vandalised buildings will deter new investors or new business ventures from locating there.
"Businesses are also targets for thieves seeking items like mobile phones to sell to fund drug habits."
The Aspley-based chamber is campaigning to get the Government to give business crime a higher priority.
The chamber has already called for business crime to be specifically listed in police performance targets.

In today's time when everything is getting digital. We need all our data to be accessible at all the times. And losing the data is not even an option. Floppy Disks are out of date. Now-a-days data is transferred using DVDs, USBs and wirelessly. All because they can hold larger amount of data and can transfer data at greater speeds. You have to keep Originals, Backups, Backups of Backups so that you can handle situations where data loss happens. There can be many reasons for data loss such as Corruption of data in DVDs due to scratches or USB drive failure. Or risks of data loss of modern days are malware attacks which can take country overnight. Because of all these reasons you just can't rely on a single copy of data. Backing up USB drives is easy peasy lemon squeezy. But copying a Copyright protected DVD is an issue which we will help you to overcome today.

4. Fastest DVD Ripping Speed
One of the reasons why we call WinX DVD Ripper Platinum is the best DVD ripper in 2018 is that it supports Hardware acceleration. It is very important to speed the DVD rip speed.

But we do need a way to store these DVDs in a safer location, far away from scratched, damaged. This is why you should consider this before spending a dime on any DVD ripper software. Again, WinX DVD Ripper Platinum is one of the few programs out there that is built with this feature.

23 Dec Barton in the dock again
Joey Barton has been charged by the Football Association for misconduct in relation to betting.
The governing body has said Barton is alleged to have placed 1,260 bets over a 10-year period.
Barton, who earlier this week signed for Burnley until the end of the season, is alleged by the FA to have placed bets between March 26, 2006 and May 13, 2016.
The 34-year-old was handed a one-match suspension for breaking Scottish Football Association betting rules during his short stint at Rangers.
The midfielder admitted breaching the SFA's zero-tolerance rules, which forbid players gambling on any match.
He placed 44 bets on games between July 1, 2016 – when his Ibrox deal started – and September 15.
His Scottish suspension will carry over into his Burnley career.
He has until January 5, 2017 to respond to the latest FA charge.
Although the news broke just three days after Burnley revealed Barton would be re-signing with them in January, Press Association Sport understands the charge has not been announced now just because the midfielder is due to return to English football.
The FA is understood to have been investigating the matter for the past few months having received information from a bookmaker and, given the sheer volume of bets placed over the 10-year period, the probe has taken longer than most cases.
Barton could therefore still have been charged by the national governing body as a free agent.
Burnley released a short statement on Friday confirming they were aware of the charge and would discuss the issue with Barton.
"Burnley Football Club have today been made aware of FA charges brought against Joey Barton relating to historic betting on football matches," it read.
"The club will be discussing the matter with Joey and his legal representatives and will be making no further comment on the matter at this time."
That statement, and news of his charge, followed Clarets manager Sean Dyche's press conference on Thursday afternoon when he did not discuss the impending move for Barton in great depth.
"He's not a contracted player at Burnley Football Club," Dyche had said.
"We've just had a chat with him and agreed in principle the idea of it going forward."

Re: Michael Ackermann born 1828 Budenheim West Germany
Shelley Hagan 5/30/06
Hi Russell and Shelley,
I am an Ackermann descendant as well, through the Eva Ackermann( 1860- 1936 )from Hill End.

Sensory Processing Disorder and Halloween: Although most kids love Halloween, it can be a sensory nightmare for children with sensory issues.
It's October, and as leaves turn from green to rust, our family starts looking forward to November. For most of the country, Halloween has exploded in popularity among all ages. Now parents dress alongside their children as buckets and pillowcases are filled with sweets. Parties are becoming more and more common, and everyone, it seems, in on the festivities.
What used to be a sugary day for the kids when I was a child has exploded into a marketing dream. But for those of us with children who have SPD (Sensory Processing Disorder), this time of year can be incredibly difficult, especially if she is a sensory-avoider (as opposed to a sensory-seeker.)
Not familiar with SPD?
The way we explain it to others is that the sensory world is a little upside down. In our daughter's case, light touch strongly bothers her, but she may not notice if she bumps into something. Certain sounds, especially loud ones, cause her physical pain. A scary scene from a movie or holiday display runs like a looped video in her head for days, even weeks. Many other kids with SPD notice seams in socks, and it drives them batty. Others can't handle bright or flashing lights, while for others loud noises, such as fireworks, are exhausting. For some, all of the senses are affected, while for others, it may be just one. And for some kids, instead of avoiding these stimuli, they actively seek them out, loving extra tight bear hugs or blaring the volume of the TV. Regardless how each child is affected, SPD is very real.
Which brings us back to October.
When our daughter was young, she wanted so badly to dress up. But, the visual stimulation of kids dressed in anything beyond a princess or a penguin often caused overload, as haunted imagery truly bothered her, visually. Add to that the standard Halloween playlist of mysterious noises in the winds, and now we have the ears assaulted. We've always taught her that she doesn't have to like the scary side of this time of year, but it is good to respect the choices of others. Still, it was very hard for her, especially as she wanted to drop candy into pumpkin buckets, but the thought of a mask with fake blood running about was too much to handle. (Can you tell she isn't aiming to be a surgeon?)
To be honest, even as I type this, I find this aspect quite hard to communicate well. We've had many people tell her to "get over it" or "stop babying her," which isn't fair. Sometimes, it seems as one of those "you have to be there to get it" sorta things. For instance, over a year ago, my husband suffered a hemorrhagic stroke. In an instant, his world changed, which included his sensory world. For weeks on end, sounds were too loud, lights were too bright. He commented that he knew she struggled, but now he "got it".
If you're a mom wondering how to help your kid who is in a similar situation, let them know it is ok if they don't want to go trick-or-treating, or to the party, etc. Sometimes, our kids worry they will let us down, and make their decisions based on that. Also, our kids do grow and change. My daughter still has SPD, but she has been able to overcome some of her personal challenges and has grown immensely. In other words, next year may be different – keep looking up!
Best wishes!
P.S. If you want to know more, please head on over to the Sensory Processing Disorder Foundation for more info. Marla Roth-Fisch has a great book, Sensitive Sam, which addressed it from a child's point of view.

Religious leaders joined hundreds of children and parents in a march around Baltimore's Inner Harbor on Thursday afternoon to protest Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake's proposed budget cuts to after-school programs.
"Our children are our jewels, not the Inner Harbor," Bishop Douglas Miles, co-chair of Baltimoreans United in Leadership Development, said in front of the Baltimore Convention Center as children and parents cheered.
Parents said they rely on after-school programs threatened by Rawlings-Blake's budget to provide opportunities for children to play and learn.
"The children feel like they're safe there. Why take that from them?" said Tanika Rucker-Blackmon of Brooklyn, who attended the rally with her husband and two of her children.
Miles, the pastor of Koinonia Baptist Church, said that Rawlings-Blake had reneged on her campaign promise to doube funding for after-school programs. At a forum for mayoral candidates during last summer's city primary, Rawlings-Blake emphatically answered "yes" when asked by BUILD leaders if she would double funding for after-school programs.
Instead, Rawlings-Blake, grappling with a $48 million shortfall, has shaved $200,000 from the budget for after-school programs, reducing it to $4.6 million. She plans to fund only after-school programs serving designated "community resource schools." There are currently 20 such schools, although that number could increase, officials said.
That means that as many as 30 after-school programs that are not associated with the community schools could be in jeopardy. Which programs will receive funding will not be announced until early June, said Kevin Keegan, executive director of the quasi-public Family League, which administers the funding.
Ian Brennan, a mayoral spokesman, said Thursday that Rawlings-Blake's affirmative answer at the campaign forum indicated that she supported increasing funding in the abstract, but the city's financial limitations prevent her from doing so.
"She did say yes, she's in favor of increased funding," he said. "It's not that hard to support it. It's a challenge when year after year you have budget deficits."
The city is facing a $48 million shortfall in its $3 billion budget, due in part to the rising cost of some fixed expenses, although overall spending increased by 0.01 percent. The mayor has filled the gap in large part by trimming health care costs, but she also made some cuts to services.
Some departments would see increased funding in Rawlings-Blake's budget, including the mayor's office, the City Council and the comptroller's office. Budgets for the Finance Department, transportation, public works, fire and police all increased by millions of dollars. Spending on police patrols alone will increase by nearly $43 million to $220 million.
Keegan said he expects that the overhaul of after-school programs will lead to more children receiving services. Currently, about 5,000 kids attend programs supported by the city, he said.
"The emphasis is on the number of kids being served, not the number of schools or programs," he said.
His organization expects to award contracts to run the after-school programs during the first week of June, when the city budget process is nearly complete. Until then, it will remain unclear which programs will receive funding and in which neighborhoods, he said.
Miles says that is unacceptable. His Northeast Baltimore church has offered an after-school program for 18 years that serves children year-round and is supported by $75,000 in city funding.
Cutting funds for such programs is "unconscionable," Miles said. "This will leave thousands of young people without after-school activities," he said.
Miles vowed to fight against any tax breaks for development projects, especially a proposed expansion of the arena and convention center, until the mayor fulfills her promise.

All tickets will be honored for a new date which is currently TBD. EXPRESS LIVE! - 405 Neil Ave Columbus, OH 43215 POSTPONED, DATE TO BE ANNOUNCE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE Doors open at 7:00 PM $45.00 In Advance & Day of Show General Admission - All Ages This show has moved outdoors rain or shine! Artist Link http://www.marilynmanson.com/ Marilyn Manson, the self-proclaimed "Antichrist Superstar," became a mainstream antihero, much to the chagrin of conservative politicians and concerned parents. His vision of dark, arty, industrial metal pushed many of his singles -- including "The Dope Show," "The Beautiful People," and a cover of Eurythmics' "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)" -- into the upper reaches of the modern rock charts during the late '90s and early 2000s. Born Brian Warner, Manson was raised in Canton, Ohio. At the age of 18, he relocated to Tampa Bay, Florida, where he worked as a music journalist. In 1989, he became friends with guitarist and fellow outsider Scott Mitchell; the two soon decided to form a band, with Mitchell rechristening himself Daisy Berkowitz and Warner adopting the name Marilyn Manson. With the addition of bassist Gidget Gein and keyboardist Madonna Wayne-Gacy, the group -- originally dubbed Marilyn Manson & the Spooky Kids -- began self-releasing cassettes and playing gigs, their gothic stage show notable for Manson's elaborate makeup and homemade special effects. In 1993, Nine Inch Nails' Trent Reznor came calling, offering both a contract with his Nothing Records label as well as the chance to open for NIN the following spring; Manson accepted both offers, and the group's debut LP, Portrait of an American Family, appeared during the summer of 1994. With new bassist Twiggy Ramirez replacing Gein, the group's notoriety began to soar. Manson's cult following continued to swell, and the band broke into the mainstream with the release of 1995's Smells Like Children EP. The glam-inspired Mechanical Animals followed in September 1998, becoming the band's first to top the charts. The resulting tour yielded a live album, Last Tour on Earth, one year later. May 2003 saw the release of The Golden Age of Grotesque, which spent a week atop the album charts and ended up on several critics' year-end Top Ten lists. At the end of September, Manson released a greatest-hits affair titled Lest We Forget. Late in 2005, the band announced that a new album was nearly finished; however, it wasn't until 2007 that Eat Me, Drink Me was released. The record was largely written, performed, and produced by Manson and guitarist/bassist Tim Skold, who left Marilyn Manson's lineup shortly thereafter and was replaced by returning member Twiggy Ramirez. Manson and Ramirez then began writing material for the band's seventh studio album, The High End of Low, which arrived in spring 2009 and reached number four in the charts. Recording began one year later for The Pale Emperor, which saw release early in 2015 on Loma Vista for the U.S. and Cooking Vinyl internationally Tickets on sale online at www.ticketmaster.com or chaharge by phone at 800-745-3000.

The Texture Pop: Episode 46: Devil May Cast
0:00:30 Gaming News
Arkham Knight's PC Port is awful
Just to reiterate, the PC port was outsourced to a different studio. Still, this is another example of the PC audience getting shafted when it comes to big publishers.
Eurogamer Interview with Destiny's Creative Director makes him look like a jerk.
This is one of the worst interviews I've ever read. Eurogamer did a great job staying professional and asking all of the right questions, but the responses were just awful. You have to read it just to get the full force of it.
0:14:08 Chris has beaten Murdered: Soul Suspect (Spoiler Alert after 0:15:56)
Though it isn't the first time we've talked about it, I am glad that Chris finally played the game. It may not be the best game out there, but it does a lot of interesting things with its premise.
0:25:00 Chris and Sam played Dragonball: Xenoverse together.
I honestly think the Chris and Sam sold me on the game during this conversation. The only catch is that they play on the PC. Even with my new laptop, I'm unsure if I could run it well. I'll do some research and wait for the next sale before making a decision.
0:39:23 Sam and I talk about our escapades recording Interactive Friction: Watch_Dogs.
Alternate sub-title: The Watch_Dogs save system is GARBAGE!
When the next Interactive Friction episode comes up, I will go into more detail about why this particular problem perplexes me.
0:43:30 I played the Devil May Cry HD Collection
This convinced me to get the Special Edition of DMC4. That tells you enough about my time with the game.
0:55:45 I played Call of Juarez: Gunslinger
I love the unreliable narrator trope, so of course I would love this game.
1:02:01 I played Rayman: Legends
Really, you can't go wrong with Rayman Legends. It's scientifically impossible to dislike it.

kharris:langers1972: Gary, can you confirm if the issue with incorrect padding is being addressed in this next update as mine doesn't add anything to the END of any shows I'm recording even if I've set the padding to five minutes which means I'm losing the end of 90% of what I'm recording
Did you delete all you planner entries and set them back up again after you changed the padding time? The change only takes affect on new recordings. Sounds dumb ay but unfortunately it's true.
You're having a laugh?!!!!!
I'l try that but hope that can be made more intelligent

Reliability and superb styling of the Opel vehicles could be brought to US once again with new compact SUV. In cooperation with General Motors, 2017 Opel Antara should be model interesting on both continents, North American and European. With many updates, both in styling and technical, new Antara is going to lure different profiles of people. Fuel economy is its another advantage, and with low price, German carmaker could shake things up in this class.
2017 Opel Antara platform
General Motor's concept used for Chevy Captiva should be shared with new 2017 Opel Antara. This Theta platform has been shown as very successful, so part of the cooperation will be borrowing of this concept. That means Opel SUV could get unique and new grille, completely different from these used in the past. Sleek look will be boosted with new headlights, made in LED technology. Taillights are also revisited, while 19-inch alloy wheels complete aggressive design. Other exterior features worth of mentioning are new damper with chromed bezels and stronger suspension springs.
2017 Opel Antara interior
Luxurious features are being prepared for the 2017 Opel Antara. However, few will be used, so it won't raise the price of compact crossover significantly. Its functionality is superb, so entire equipment has some purpose. Comfort is improved with leather seats, while cabin's look gets new styling. Stitches, details and big things will make you enjoy while riding in 2017 Antara. Also, cargo area is enlarged, so SUV can take more luggage. Features list is long, from touch-screen display, navigation, climate control and air-conditioning, to safety systems with air-bags and parking sensors.
2017 Opel Antara powertrain
Last model of the Antara took power from 2.0-l Ecotec engine. This unit will be carried over as base option. However, it is available as gasoline and petrol drivetrain, and depending on that, we will have different outputs. All options are mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission, which sends power to front wheels, while AWD remains optional. Reduction of emission and improvement of fuel economy are two things to be brought by 2017 Opel Antara. Also, its price of $20,000 is very attractive.

This week I read Holes. This is one of those books I probably should have read as a kid, but I didn't.
- Read Harder Challenge
- Listed in Book Lust 2
What You Should Know:
- This is a YA book primarily read by boys, but is great for girls too
- This is the first in a series
- There is a movie adaptation of the book
- This book is considered a YA classic
- It won the Newbury award
I have two questions I want to answer here.
1- In what ways is the saying "You can't judge a book by its cover" a good one for this story?
I have talked about how I do judge books by their cover. This is one of those books that I would have ignored based on the cover. Is it fair? No, but it never is fair. The cover of this book does cover part of the story. You get a sense of what the titles means. What you don't see if 2 other stories within this book. What you are also missing is that I am not the intended audience for this book. Even when I was younger, this book cover is designed for boys. There is presumably a boy on the cover. The holes with the shovel suggest something a younger teenager could be interested in. Maybe I am not inclined to read this, but this cover is not for me.
There is another cover for this book: the movie inspired cover. Part of my hates when books do this, but the other part of me sees the logic of it. How many people discover a book because they saw the movie? Many! How many children and teenagers do this? I suspect most. To connect the potential reader to a medium they recognize is important. Sometimes it is merely the movie poster, but a smart way to do this is to use the movie in a different way. The second cover for Holes is one of the movie posters, but it is a good movie poster and accomplishes much of what the original cover does. You see the boys, you see the hat, and you see them looking down a hole. This time it was a good choice to use a movie poster and recognizable characters to entice readers.
2- Even though his fate is uncertain, Stanley is suddenly very happy as he lies awake on the top of the mountain, staring at the stars. Why does he feel this way?
I remember somethings about the years between childhood and being a teenager. I remember everyone being evil. These were the years I was bullied. These were the years where I was torn between what my parents wanted me to be and discovering who I was. For years I remained torn between a desire to control and plan my life and a desire to let life happen as it will. It would take me into my 20s to realize that I needed to have a bit of both. It took me that long to realize that working hard at something I enjoy (even if I didn't ever think I would enjoy it) makes me happy. As I read the book I realized Stanley was probably lucky to discover there is happiness in this simplicity. I still look back at the difficult times in my life- except my depression- as moments of happiness. I have heard this from other people. There is something about difficult times that makes us more alert and invested in our happiness. I am not yet sure what that is though.
Media Tie In:
In 2003 Disney adapted the book into a movie with Shia LaBeouf.
Other Books Read This Week:
- The Witch of Lime Street: Séance, Seduction, and Houdini in the Spirit World – I saw this book when I was in DC and promptly added it to my holds list. That was October and I just got it about a week ago.
- The Reader – from Book Lust. I have been reluctant to read another book about Nazis, Germany, and World War 2. This one begins in the 1950s, but has to do with a woman who worked in the camps. It's was wonderfully written and I enjoyed it.
- Sword of Honour – Also from Book Lust. It wasn't that I read so many books this week, but that I read short books and finished other books. This is British Napoleonic era naval fiction, but not one of the better series (in my opinion). More on these another day).
- Sisters – I covered Smile a few weeks ago and this one is for the Read Harder challenge. It was a quick and enjoyable read.

In true camera company style, Canon has gone and released about five million cameras all at once, and it falls to yours truly to summarize the pages and pages of PR into something readable at a glance. I'd scribble it on a napkin and scan it if I could, but I learned better than that at blogger school.
We've already covered the 50D, but these new point-and-shoots are virgin territory. Shall we, then? Click on through for all the stats on the new A-, E-, and S-series cameras.
To be honest, they're extremely straightforward, even more so than normal point-and-shoots, so I'll just give you the basics. They all feature optical image stabilization (nice) and the usual shooting modes, face detection, and so on.
Let's go in alphabetical order, like we found these filed at a liberry. Cameras not shown at actual size.
A1000 and A2000 ($200 and $250, respectively)
Both the A1000 and A2000 have 10 megapixels and the same extra features. Difference is the A2000 has 6x zoom instead of 4x, looks better, and has a 3″ LCD instead of a 2.5″.
The E1 is their hip little purse-cam. "Teens and tweens can now capture every 'OMG moment'," like the moment the PR person who wrote that sentence realized their life is a sham. But seriously, its stats are identical to the A1000: 10 megapixels, 4x optical zoom, 2.5″ LCD. This one is for people who want to color-coordinate, assuming you wear only pastels.
The "fool's DSLR," made to look serious but just packing the usual heat. It does have 10x optical zoom, which is nice, but you'd be hard pressed to hold it steady even with the OIS on. It has a 3″ LCD and 9 megapixels to its name.

DAYTON, OH -- (MARKET WIRE) -- Jul 07, 2009 -- Woolpert announced that the firm has signed a strategic alliance with Pelydryn, a LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) hydrographic survey company founded by former UK National Hydrographer, Dr. Wyn Williams and Geomatics Data Solutions, co-founded by Carol Lockhart.
Through this teaming agreement, Pelydryn and Geomatics will complement Woolpert's topographic mapping capabilities with technology and expertise in mapping and processing hydrographic data, which can be critical in providing accurate water modeling and improving port security. Pelydryn's cutting-edge technology, HawkEye II, is a bathymetric and topographic airborne LiDAR system that provides fast and accurate surveying of shallow waters, shorelines and coastal areas.
"Partnering with some of the world's leading hydrographic experts, including Dr. Williams and Pelydryn's Managing Director Peter Hobson, as well as bathymetric LiDAR processing expert Carol Lockhart, Woolpert will be able to expand its mapping capabilities to provide complete coastal mapping solutions," said Jeff Lovin, CP, Woolpert vice president and director of photogrammetry and remote sensing. "Through this partnership, federal clients such as the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the U.S. Geological Survey and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration will be able to obtain coastal and shallow water mapping data through a single resource."
Dr. Williams, Former Chief Executive of the UK Hydrographic Office and National Hydrographer, is a Chartered Scientist (PhD in Physics) and Chartered Engineer. As a research scientist he was involved in laser technology and electro-optic systems and brings considerable experience and expertise to Pelydryn. Hobson, Former Royal Navy commander and FIG/IHO Category A accredited surveyor, was instrumental in the inception of one the first companies to use airborne LiDAR along with Dr. Williams.
"Forming Pelydryn enabled us to bring together some of the leading minds in airborne laser bathymetry. This strategic partnership brings together unprecedented expertise, with the ability to provide the highest quality data spanning land and coastline, quickly and efficiently -- this is very good news for our clients," added Dr. Williams.
According to Lovin, the combined capabilities of Woolpert, Pelydryn and Geomatics will provide clients with a unique, high-resolution means for mapping the coastal zone in a single pass. Combined with existing digital imagery capabilities, LiDAR data capture will result in detailed information for assessing coastal change and beach movement, together with water color and imagery.
"The strength of this partnership lies in our ability to provide a single source for seamless mapping, with the ability to merge terrestrial and marine data as well as quality-controlled final products prior to delivery," said Lockhart.
