zombie hazmat outbreak contagion fire
Excellent. You've already got the most recent series out in Canada, ay? (sorry couldn't resist).
Great execution…as always.
Yep, they showed up Saturday night at Walmart. They just hauled them out of the stock room, and being that it was ten minutes until close, I just bought a full, unopened box. Returned the ones I didn't want the next day!
You have far to many zombies for someone who should be an expert in 'what lego feels like' fantastic shot. where are the yellow minifigs from?
The hazmat guys are from the new Collectible Minifigure Series 4. And I currently have 23 zombies — I gave one away!
Incredible, fantastic!!! I have no clue where did you get the yellow figures, but they look awsome! Awsome shot!!
They're from the new Collectible Minifigures Series 4, showing up now worldwide. Thanks for the comment!
Thank you kindly!
I appreciate your comments!
Ah, we don't have series four yet, you always seem to have things 6 months before we do!!!
Actually they've started to show up in Tescos!
you have tescos in Canada?
No no, not in Canada. You're in the UK, right? I was just letting you know they're showing up now in the UK. :D
Oh right, yeah series 3 did but only in the really big ones, haven't heard anyone say 4 was out yet. i shall have to keep an eye out – seems a bit random to put them both out so close to each other
love it :)

Virtually none ever do, so much so that often when I do stop to give way to a pedestrian they impatiently wave me to go through, despite the fact that I am following my obligations to give way. Every intersecion, pedestrians are deferring to the might of the automobile.
Actually this is something that has changed in the last 20-30 years (at least in NSW) When I came over from the UK in the 80's I was amazed that all the left-turning cars used to stop to let pedestrians cross. Didn't happen in London I can tell you!
Still happens in Newcastle a bit and up-country mostly, but not in Sydney...

Hey guys,
I recently bought a KORG MS10, which I was looking for for a really long time! I can really recommend it to anyone looking for an analog synth..
However, I encountered a small problem.. Since the synth is monophonic, I only hear the left channel when I plug my normal headphones into the "signal out" jack.. It obviously works normally when I plug it into an amp or a mixer..
Is there a way to "double" the signal in order to be able to listen to what I play with normal stereo headphones? I'd love to take the synth to some places where there is no mixer around just to jam a bit..
Thanks a lot in advance,

I have come across a magnificent piece by Domenico Losurdo, called 'Lenin and Herrenvolk Democracy'. Here Losurdo deploys Lenin's critique of colonialism and Western' democracy' to devastating effect. Let me pick out some of the more salient points.
To begin with, in John Stuart Mill's On Liberty, we find that 'despotism is a legitimate mode of dealing with barbarians', for liberty is only for 'those in the maturity of their faculties'. As for the rest, they are little superior to the animals. (This is precisely the sentiment of Aristotle in relation to ethics and democracy.) In other words, liberal 'freedom' and 'democracy' are inseparable from oppression and dispossession; one relies on the other to function.
Losurdo moves on to consider a paradox in the heart of today's beacon of 'democracy' and 'liberty': liberal democracy developed in the white community in direct relation to the enslaving of blacks and deportation of indigenous peoples. 'For thirty-two of the first thirty-six years of the United States' life, slave-owners held the presidency, and they were the ones who wrote the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution'. Indeed, one cannot understand 'American liberty' without slavery and dispossession, for they grew together, one sustaining the other. As a further example, during the so-called 'Progressive Age', in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, numerous 'democratic' reforms took place: direct election to the Senate, secret vote, primaries, referenda etc. They all took place during a rise in ferocity of the Ku Klux Klan terrorist squads and a push to deprive indigenous people of their residual lands and assimilate them. So also with the treatment of 'rogues' or 'pariahs' outside the USA ('rogue' was originally a term used for slaves, and when one had white semi-slaves, they were branded with an 'R' to signify their status): once declared a 'rogue' or 'pariah' state, the 'world's oldest democracy' (Clinton) and 'model for the world' (Bush) can crush these 'barbarians' (Mill) in order to bolster 'freedom and democracy'.
One might also compare Israel, suggests Losurdo, supposedly the only 'true democracy' in the Middle East, where 'freedom of expression and association' exist. But that can be maintained only by ignoring a macroscopic detail: 'government by law and democratic guarantees are valid only for the master race, while Palestinians can have their lands expropriated, be arrested and imprisoned without process, tortured, killed, and, in any case under a regime of military occupation, have their human dignity downtrodden and humiliated daily'.
And then in a new twist, when fading colonial powers are losing their grip, they suddenly happen upon self-determination for valuable sections of the former colony (which have themselves been ethnically, culturally and religiously engineered). Thus, when England finally had to give Hong Kong back to China, the last governer, Chris Patten, 'had a species of illumination and improvised conversion: he appealed to the inhabitants of Hong Kong to claim their right to "self-determination" against the motherland, thereby remaining within the orbit of the British Empire'. One might say the same about claims for Tibet's independence.
Finally, to what do the oft-repeated and much-vaunted claims for 'human rights', 'liberty' and 'freedom' amount? Losurdo deploys Cecil Rhodes's formula for the British Empire, which is still perfectly valid today: 'philanthropy + 5 per cent', where 'philanthropy' is synomous with 'human rights' and 5 per cent the profits to be made by waving the flag of 'human rights'.
Many of these details are reasonably well-known, but the argument is usually one of hypocrisy: they don't live up to their ideals. But Losurdo, developing Lenin, has a much sharper point. The very possibility of bourgeois 'democracy' and 'freedom' is directly dependent upon, and thereby unthinkable and unworkable without, systemic dispossession of the majority – and vice versa.

Complete NSCAA Release
Hermann Trophy Website
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Senior forward Andre Akpan of the Harvard men's soccer team has been honored as one of three finalists for the Missouri Athletic Club's Hermann Trophy, presented to the nation's top Division I men's soccer player. Akpan, who was also tabbed to the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) first team, is the first Harvard player to be voted a finalist for the Hermann Trophy.
A semifinalist for the Hermann Trophy for three straight seasons, Akpan , a forward, joins Corben Bone of Wake Forest and Teal Bunbury of Akron as finalists for the trophy this year. The three finalists will be invited to the Missouri Athletic Club in St. Louis for a news conference on Friday, Jan. 8, 2010, where the winner will be announced. A dinner and formal presentation of the award will follow the news conference that evening.
Harvard's all-time leading scorer with 127 points, Akpan also ranks first in school history with 33 assists and finished his career tied with Chris Ohiri '64 for first with 47 goals. A native of Grand Prairie, Texas, Akpan, a four-time unanimous All-Ivy League first-team honoree, was tabbed the Ivy League Player of the Year this season. Akpan has also received several national postseason honors, as he is a nominee for Soccer News Net Player of the Year and he earned a nod to the Top Drawer Soccer National Team of the Year, garnering a spot on the second team.
A co-captain of the Crimson, Akpan scored 12 goals this season to lead the Harvard offense. He also had a team-best four game-winning tallies and paced the squad with 30 points, ranking him 17th in the nation with 1.58 points per game. Akpan was honored as the Ivy League Player of the Week on two occasions this fall and scored two goals in a game on three occasions. He helped the Crimson reach as high as No. 6 in the national rankings and win its second Ivy League title in four seasons. Harvard reached the third round of the NCAA tournament for the first time since 1987, defeating Monmouth, 3-0, in a second-round contest. Akpan scored a goal in victory against the Hawks, tying Ohiri for the school record. An ECAC Division I Men's All-Star choice, Akpan also succeeded in the classroom, having garnered a spot on the Academic All-Ivy League team this year.
Akpan, who competed in the NCAA tournament during each of his four seasons at Harvard, is a three-time NSCAA All-America performer and has been tabbed to three NSCAA All-Northeast Region first teams. A two-time College Soccer News Preseason All-American, Akpan was the only underclassmen to be named to the Hermann Trophy semifinalist list after scoring 14 goals as a sophomore in 2007. During his rookie campaign in 2006, Akpan was tabbed the National Rookie of the Year by Top Drawer Soccer and was the Ivy League Rookie of the Year after setting Harvard's freshman scoring record with 34 points on 11 goals and 12 assists, good enough to lead all freshmen in Division I.
Akpan also has international experience, as he has represented the United States at the 2007 FIFA Under-20 World Cup. Last summer, Akpan competed with the Chicago Fire Player Development team, helping the squad reach the PDL title game.

Paris, je t'aime...
It's been exactly two years now since we arrived here in Paris. And what a time it has been!
I remember it as if it were yesterday, how me and my girls were sitting in that plane holding hands while it took off, taking a last look at what had been our home for five and a half years, and how the three of us started crying. The weeks before had been very intense - the packing, the farewell parties, saying goodbye to daddy who left earlier to get us installed at our new place across the Atlantic, the last hugs and goodbye kisses from our very best friends, the early morning trip to the airport.
But I also remember the feeling of relief when we finally got in Paris - the feeling of coming home somehow, being closer to relatives again, as if a weight was falling off my shoulders. Though I really loved our Californian life, and never felt homesick (except for Fall each year, mainly because we missed the change of seasons), I often felt some sort of burden: K. and I were the only family our girls had over there, their only roots. "What if something would happen to us?", often crossed my mind. But we had wonderful years there - a good life, surrounded by the best friends imaginable. California definitely changed me. Being a rather shy person, I opened up, for one thing...
And then all of the sudden there was Paris. It just happened to us, just like California happened to us. We never planned on going abroad, but we did. Paris wasn't an easy decision. The girls would have to give up a lot: their friends, the open space they'd been used to as long as they could remember, the pools, the lovely weather, and so much more. But our main worry was the language: the girls didn't speak a word of French... how would they deal with that?
That was then. Now, we've been here for two years and we love it. The girls are doing great, are both fluent in French - to be honest: they teach me how to speak French. I'm often surprised about their amazingly wide vocabulary. I've caught my self checking the dictionary more than once, lately, to look up a new word or expression H.'s been using. Unlike K. and me, they speak it with no accent. The English is still there, but the French becomes more prominent. People on the metro often look surprised when they hear us jump from one language to the other.
Both girls made plenty of new friends, M. toughened up a bit which is a good thing (she's such a sweet, gentle and empathic girl it sometimes hurts...), and H. fits in perfectly with her natural flamboyant style. All this didn't happen overnight. It was a bit of a bumpy road. To be honest, those first six months were hard and I thought or even yelled more than once how much "I hated this place". That was then, this is now: "Paris, je t'aime!"
I'm planning on a series of posts about Paris the coming weeks.
Let that be one of my blogging plans for summer...

I felt very nostalgic reading your post today. We lived in Paris for 8 years and I can remember the point when my children really settled in and began correcting my French. It was a happy time for us and we didn't come back to England until my son had taken his Bac. They both really benefited from a French education and we all loved living there,we plan to live there again when my husband retires. Carry on enjoying it.

Rumormill: Ford Building Factory CNG F-150?
Marcus Slater
Ford already sells compressed natural gas (CNG) Super Duties in a collaboration with Westport systems, but if pickuptrucks.com is to be believed, they might be rolling out a CNG F-150 themselves soon.
Admittedly, the grounds for this assertion are pretty shaky (the have a pictures an F-150 with a CNG sticker on it), but it's not a far fetched idea. Only Ford could build a CNG truck that retains the factory backed warranty. Currently the other conversions on the market will void your warranty. That makes them great for people with older trucks, but it increases the costs of having a new CNG truck significantly.
The draw of CNG (and to an extent, LPG) is easy to understand. In most places, CNG is inexpensive when compared to gasoline. The downside is that the tanks tend to take up a lot of space in the bed of the truck. It tends to make less power and be less efficient. But it is cheap and clean.

1. What is the main reason that keeps you working on Arch with the same passion for years now?
Judd Vinet: The thrill of creating something that other people use and like. I think that's the main motivation for me now. Arch has already reached a point of "best-suited distribution for me" so it's already fulfilled the goals set out when I started it. Now I find myself looking forward to adding features that other users will find helpful, and looking forward to working with other Archers. I'm truly proud of the calibre of our community and the way we've carved ourselves a little niche in the over-crowded distro contention.
Jan de Groot: Arch suits my needs, though it has its limitations sometimes. I switched to LFS and later gentoo for a while, but didn't like them. After I switched back, I became an archlinux maintainer. Before becoming an official maintainer, I've done most of the work for new gnome releases to get into archlinux using unofficial beta repositories. I am still attracted to archlinux because it's very up to date with new software releases.
Tobias Kieslich: In 2003, when I was tired of over customized distros, I found Archlinux. It had the latest software and did not look so exaggerated complex. As a bonus I got a fast and easy package manager and a distro which makes it easy to look behind the surface and learn the basics of Linux in general.
I like to keep it this way. Make it easy for the user to understand how things work and, by the same time, provide well working packages that don't need much hassle to get in touch with the software. When I come across a new software it'll take me time to get it known by studying the docs and testing some configurations. I like to give on that experiences to the users by transparent packages.
Damir Perisa: I run ArchLinux since 0.4 and since then i never had to reinstall the OS on this laptop. Besides no need to reinstall it, i have always the latest versions of software i need.
The reason that keeps me working on Arch is easy to explain: There are some packages that i use almost daily. Maintaining them needs almost no additional effort and other people who want to use this packages have the advantage that they do not need to care to build / update them themselves. So the only effort i really have is the uploading of the packages. My connection is not the fastest and therefore while uploading my internet is unusable for other things. This is a small price to pay to offer thousands of people hundereds of pkgs ready to be used for productivity and creativity. Opensource software depend on people who are willing to offer some of their time to all the others. In the end, it's a big virtual team of thousands of people helping each other to have working software they can use as tools for their work.
Dale Blount: I love Arch's simplicity and ability to scale if I need it to.
Jason Chu: I've always liked the potential that Archlinux has. Not only is it a good base to start from, but it's still small enough to change quickly.
Tobias Powalowski: I started with 0.6 one year ago and was impressed by the simplicity. An other
point i really liked was that the community was really friendly and it was
really easy to contribute things to Arch. I can use latest features and software and most of the packages i use myself,
so it's not a big deal to upload them to the net. I was searching for a community where i can share my experience with Linux and
i found it in Arch. Quote from Damir ( it's a great explanation):
Opensource software depend on people who are willing to offer some of their time to all the others. In the end, it's a big virtual team of thousands of people helping each other to have working software they can use as tools for their work.
I fully agree to that.
Aurelien Foret: First of all, thanks to OSNews. Indeed, I came to Arch Linux because of an article posted more than two years ago here. I immediately got interested by the author's description and the new package manager he mentionned.
All in all, before discovering Arch, I was a passive F/OSS user. I never cared for contributing to the Open Source community, or even subscribing to forums or mailing lists.
Arch changed turned me upside-down. After the first install, I immediately loved it, and it gave me the will to do something. I started to answer posts on the forums, and to report bugs. Several days after I was contributing new packages, and I started to write patches for pacman (Arch Linux package manager). Only a few months later, I got hired in the development team.
To say it all, working on Arch is my way to give back to the community what it brings to me everyday: fun and one of the best OS ever.
Arjan Timmerman: I came to archlinux two years ago, after looking for a new distro on distrowatch.
The KISS part it mentions was exactly what i was looking for. I had ran slackware/debian/gentoo pre1.0 and openbsd before.
None of them suited my needs. I still think archlinux is my distro of choice. i never looked back after this. I was asked by Sarah31 too become gnome maintainer after the gnome maintainer left. The reason that they asked me, was that i builded the gnome1.4 libs so i could run gaim.

The coast of Louisiana is off limits to its own residents, and their livelihoods and quality of life are suffering, said the pastor of Our Lady of the Isle Parish in Grand Isle. "They can't fish; they can't swim; they can't interact with the water; they can't live off the food from the water," the Rev. Mike Tran said. "This oil spill has had a traumatic impact on the people of the island."
Grand Isle is a barrier island at the mouth of Barataria Bay, where it meets the gulf. The island is connected to the mainland of Louisiana by a causeway. "There are no more tourists; basically everything is shut down. We can't even enjoy the fresh air when we go outdoors because of the smell of the oil that is continually washing up on the beach," the priest said. "And now, with the beginning of hurricane season, the stress levels of the residents have risen even more."
Grand Isle residents and their counterparts across the Diocese of Houma-Thibodaux and the rest of the Gulf Coast were waiting anxiously for word that BP has been able to contain the oil flowing into the Gulf of Mexico after the blow-out of its drilling rig, Deepwater Horizon. Since the explosion and fire on April 20 that killed 11 workers on the rig, as many as two million gallons or more of oil have been pouring into the gulf each day, and containment efforts by BP to date have been only partially successful.
As oil continues to spread throughout the gulf, the federal government is still scrambling to find the best possible approach to limiting the environmental damage and administering justice in a catastrophe now heading into its third month. Residents of the Gulf Coast whose livelihoods have been affected by the spill are hoping that a $20 billion pledge made by BP to the White House to help residents is not too little, too late.
Even after some success by BP in mid-June to capture some of the oil billowing from a well a mile below the water surface, millions of gallons continue to escape, and there is no one-size-fits-all way to reclaim all the leaked oil without creating new problems. BP's efforts to drill relief wells are not likely to have significant effects until late summer at best.
There is much uncertainty about the long-term impact of the man-made environmental disaster, which is being called this country's worst, on the people of south Louisiana who live and make their living on the water. The Rev. Thomas Kuriakose, pastor of St. Charles Borromeo Parish in Point-aux-Chenes, said many of his parishioners are fishermen, and although they are currently working for BP cleaning up the spill, their future livelihood is threatened.
"I have spoken to a lot of people who are depressed about the uncertainty of what the future holds for them and for the seafood industry in this area," said Father Kuriakose. The Catholic Charities affiliate of the Archdiocese of New Orleans received a $1 million grant from BP in May for spill-related emergency assistance. The money does not go far. The maximum rent assistance the archdiocesan agency can give is $200.
Connie D'Aquin Bosley has seen the despair firsthand. "What we're seeing is that the desperation is growing among the fishermen. Tempers are short, and they really feel neglected," said Bosley, head of Catholic Charities' emergency management office. "The BP claims process is very slow. It's not consistent. There's just gaps right now in what BP offers and what they need right now."p { margin-bottom: 0.08in; } Read this article in Spanish. Translation courtesy Mirada Global.

Like most public library systems in America, the Buffalo and Erie County Public Library (B&ECPL) has a long history of developing and implementing strategic plans of service. It was not until the mid-1990s, however, that the B&ECPL Board of Trustees announced that an exhaustive, independent review of its operations, funding, governance and infrastructure had assumed the highest priority.
In 1997, the B&ECPL contracted with Aaron Cohen Associates, Ltd. to evaluate the Library System on many levels and issue a report that would form the basis of a sweeping new strategic plan. In October 1998, The Buffalo and Erie County Public Library in the Third Millennium was released to the public as the B&ECPL's proposed strategic plan for the years 1999 through 2003.
Many of that study's recommendations were accepted without reservation and implemented, at least in part. One observation that drew widespread resistance was that B&ECPL's 52-outlet service model was outmoded, over-extended and not cost effective. A System-wide consolidation effort to construct better but fewer libraries was recommended.
When Library leaders delivered this message to the public in a series of 22 community meetings during the first half of 2000, the public and the elected officials who represent them expressed almost unanimous opposition.
The Library Board listened and responded with a revised plan, Expanding Horizons , that stated: The Board of Trustees proposes that all public libraries in Erie County remain funded and open; however, each library's prospects are dependent on fulfilling certain obligations.
In the subsequent plan, Breaking New Ground , released in 2004, the Board stated its intention to: Collaborate with communities willing to consolidate resources (e.g., South Buffalo) to improve the level and quality of library service as well as manage rising operational expenses.
Timing is everything.
In the heart of long and fiery debates over Erie County's 2005 budget, some citizens and public officials have asked the Library to revisit the 1998 Cohen study a study that the Library's Board and administration never ignored and never abandoned.

Namely, I think that the Other Battler has to never have existed. While Battler himself opened the door to the idea of reassignability of names, in both other cases where this may be happening (Phantom Kinzo and Zombie Kanon) the interpretation that multiple people lied about what they saw in collusion works more satisfactorily than assuming that names are not unique. Only the Other Battler remains as the case of a non-unique name, and it would be much smoother if the name was somehow unique anyway.
We have the following reds from Ep4 to sort out for this:
From the fact that Ange is This Battler's little sister, we can conclude that either his mother is Kyrie, or his father is Rudolf, or both. From the fact that the attempted red cuts off at "Ushiromiya", we should assume that he was in fact born from a woman currently bearing the name "Ushiromiya", we just don't know which one, and since he was attempting to say "Asumu" but failed, it has to have been some other Ushiromiya.
The obvious candidate is naturally Kyrie, but there are other Ushiromiyas who could have conceivably give birth to him if the father was Rudolf. Namely, Natsuhi, Eva and Rosa. Natsuhi is disqualified because of "Natsuhi oba-san is pure and faithful!" in Ep5. Rosa is disqualified because she would have to have been about 12 at the time, and thus very unlikely to have given birth successfully. Eva would not change anything significantly, because Battler is still younger than George, and thus still behind George on the inheritance ladder.
The possibility of him being Krauss' son or Kinzo's son with Kyrie being his mother remains, though, however slim. The motive of Kyrie acting as a Sumadera agent for the entire time and being involved in a highly complicated long term merger plot to give birth to Kinzo's true heir who would be a Sumadera as well, thwarted by Rudolf's meddling with children in the hospital, is ridiculous, but also not impossible.
But it is not relevant as such because of the headship rules. Structurally, the Ushiromiya Group seems to be a small zaibatsu. To be precise, that means that a holding company owns all of the family's joint assets, with the current 'family head' being the president of the holding company. Branch family businesses, while being independent, have strong financial ties to each other and the holding company at the top, loaning money from it at the very least. Since whoever becomes the new holding company president can be legally determined in whatever fashion the current majority owner wants, including a silly headship contest, Battler can have headship rights in some dormant fashion even if he isn't aware about it. But it is complicated by the existence of the Other Battler, which would muddle any written instructions left over by Kinzo -- if he named "Ushiromiya Battler" as his successor, that bloody Other Battler can pop up at any time and make the issue impossible to determine.
I have so far failed to work out a suitable way to kill the pest.

@Judoh: As cool as that would be to see the adults and servants fighting over which of the grandchildren should become the head. I don't really see any hints of this anywhere, so it looks like an epic dream that won't come true.

Unless these family ties are to be seen in a broader sense, so Kyrie would be considered Kinzo's child simply because she married Rudolf and joined the family. But in that case then Battler would still be Kinzo's grandchild even if he was adopted and we'd have a lot of other possibilities.
That apart you missed to consider the possibility that Kinzo has a secret child (which was mentioned in the story), that child could work as Battler's mother as well. Not like I believe this is the case, but... for completeness sake...

That time window exists, but it would not be very relevant unless Kinzo declared that only Beatrice-2 and her descendants are to receive any inheritance -- if Beatrice-2 was treated like everyone else, she is only higher on the inheritance ladder than Rosa, as Krauss and Eva were born earlier.

On MO and murder methods, we have several, arguably:
Face Smashing: This is done in FT ep1, and for most of the deaths in ep4. We haven't, to my knowledge, ever seen a weapon or device capable of being so precise (remember, one of the things that bothers Battler in ep4 is the consistency of the wounds). Battler theorizes a shotgun or magnum or some other form of firearm. I've always thought it might be a blunt object. If I had to guess, however, the "face smashing thing," whatever it is, is not used until after the victims are dead.
Shooting: Several people have simple wounds to the chest or head, notably in ep2 and ep3. These are often staked, but the most plausible explanation is they were shot with a gun and staked later. I'm not convinced the Winchesters are the shooting weapon (except perhaps at the end of ep1 and Hideyoshi/Rudolf/Kyrie in ep3). The existence of a handgun, probably in a single person's possession, always struck me as more likely. This is very likely the weapon that killed Nanjo, which might suggest it belongs to Rudolf, Kyrie, or Hideyoshi. Unless it belonged to Nanjo himself, and was taken from him.
Strangling: This method appears only in ep3. It's improvised in both cases, once with bare hands (Maria) and once with some kind of long thin object (Krauss and Natsuhi). I'd guess an electrical cord or wire, which are sure to be around. Given the haphazard nature of these attacks, I don't think they were premeditated. They may even be self-defense.
Cutting: Stomachs and necks in ep2, necks in ep5, and people were beheaded in ep6. A cutting device, probably larger than a simple knife, does exist on the island: the cleaver. However, it's intriguing to posit that, ep6 aside (and possibly ep2 Kumasawa/Nanjo), these deaths may have been faked, and the true cause of death was something else. Something like...
Poison: Maria's body is unharmed in ep4, but Battler suspects poison. Poison, an overdose, or a sedative-and-mutilate method seems both plausible and effective. When you think on it, the stakings to the knee, thigh, etc. in ep2 make no sense. No one would die from that. Yet if there are no other marks on the body, how would they die? Poison or drugs could do it, and there's no way even Dr. Nanjo can manage a toxicology analysis. They'd just have to trust the wounds they see.

For me, names are possessed solely by the person we are introduced to as possessing them. So Kanon is Kanon, Kinzo is Kinzo, Battler is Battler... you get the idea. So far, I'm fairly confident there's no scenario where people must "trade names" to get around the red that can't be explained in a way where you don't have to.

Determining whether wounds were inflicted before or after death may also not require a lab.
Not that Nanjo can be expected to be qualified in either, though.

Well, going along with the Battler Double Theory, how about this? Kinzo, aware that Rudolf had impregnated and married Asumu, decided on Battler's name before his birth. However, he was unaware of the second preganancy with Kyrie. At the time of the birthing, Battler was born from Asumu, but the child was weak and died shortly after birth. For Reason B, Rudolf then replaced Asumu's child with Kyrie's, telling Kyrie that her child had suffered a miscarriage, and named her child, now in Asumu's care, Battler.
This way, there were two Ushiromiya Battler to come into the world, however, only one at the time of the gameboard.

As... interesting as it would be for the Other Battler to be, say, Jessica, or the Child From 19 Years Ago, I kind of feel like neither of those are actually true
And I definitely don't want to envision some kind of Kyrie + Krauss Sumadera conspiracy theory... it just doesn't seem in line with what we know about Kyrie. Yeah, she's capable of being jealous to the point of preparing herself to kill her rival, but I doubt she'd get involved with her Object of Affection's brother either for revenge or family reasons (she doesn't seem to think much of her obligation to them, if Kasumi is anything to go by...)

However, the problem with it is that it does not actually effectively deny the Other Battler. We have no solid hints to conclude that this is what in fact happened, (at least I don't know of any) and in this case it may not have, so the Other Battler might have somehow survived. What we need is to find a good reason why he necessarily does not exist anymore, or, failing that, exists as a known quantity somewhere as far away from the board as possible.

I don't know if ryukishi just doesn't know much about medical practice, or if the goal is to write Nanjo exactly like an incompetent and poorly-researched mystery novel doctor. Either way, his practice and manner are absurdly improper, especially with respect to the two living patients he's had in the games.
Maybe I'm alone in this, but I always kind of got the sense from Nanjo Jr. that he was pretty bitter toward his dad, and not just because he got killed. It could be that the payoff money (which Jr. had the moral fortitude to refuse) convinced him his father was up to something crooked. But maybe he just was glad his dad wasn't around anymore to screw up the family practice.
Would you trust him to be your doctor?

Of course, it does make sense, but I'm thinking it's almost... too easy. I don't know, I immediately thought Battler II when Natsuhi received the phone call, but here's the thing:
Natsuhi, upon picking up the line in Episode 5, comments on how the voice sounded like it could be a female's. This leads me to think of Jessica, as she is sort of the "tomboy." I don't think it was Battler's, simply because he is too masculine.
We also know this, though:
Now, if we continue to assume that Battler II is his own entity (and not a codename for another character) then I guess it could work... after all, we know almost nothing about him. But I am suspicious about Jessica as well; she was on the island with Natsuhi, and nowhere is it explicitly stated that the first phone call (before the game board begins) was an "outside call."
I haven't played Episode 6, though, so maybe my reasoning is wrong.

There is not a 100% correspondence between a metacharacter and the original it is based upon. For the most part any red that can be stated for one can be stated for the other but... MetaBattler was not born from Asumu, he was born from the author that created him.
This could explain why MetaAnge (which already knew the difference between herself and the real world self) seemed to know already how Beatrice was planning to deny MetaBattler's existence.
However we know there's some secret about Battler's birth, so this theory is not very likely.
According to what Shannon and Kanon said in EP6 we can conclude that a person who's age is 19 years exist. And that person can only be Beatrice or Battler.
Granted that I think it's a lot more probable that the child from 19 years before is Beatrice, since there is a chance that Battler might be one year older, then it's easier to explain this way how he can be Beatrice2's son.

'A voteless people is a hopeless people' video
By Communications and Marketing
Put together by the K-State chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Inc., the video "A voteless people is a hopeless people" encourages K-Staters to exercise their civic right.
The vote program was initiated as a National Program of Alpha during the 1930s when many African-Americans had the right to vote but were prevented from voting because of poll taxes, threats of reprisal and lack of education about the voting process. Voter education and registration has remained a dominant focus of this outreach activity for over 65 years. In the 1990s, the focus has shifted to include political awareness and empowerment, delivered most frequently through town meetings and candidate forums.

Arlington, Va., Dec 1, 2012 / 01:04 pm (CNA).- As his 99th birthday approaches, Missionhurst Father John Morel hardly seems as if he's a man reaching the century mark. Sure, he sometimes struggles to remember certain dates. And he said he now feels the incline on the walk from the Missionhurst chapel in Arlington to his residence next door.
But Father Morel clearly still can recall memories from his childhood — events and dates and even who-said-what-whens. He reads the newspaper every day and watches the Missionhurst campus comings and goings from his second-floor room in the big brick priests' residence.
Since his retirement in 2002 from being pastor of Our Lady of the Blue Ridge Church in Madison, Father Morel has been living with his fellow retired Missionhurst priests on their north Arlington property. After 32 years in the Arlington Diocese, Northern Virginia has become his home even though he was born nearly 4,000 miles away.
Early life
Born in Brussels Nov. 18, 1913, Father Morel lived through two world wars, segregation, the civil rights movement, the 1960s riots in Detroit — and that was all before he moved to Virginia in 1980.
His parents, Lawrence and Alice, raised him Catholic and sent him to Catholic school. After Alice died when he was 11, his "Papa" (who lived until he was 103) remarried Marie.
While in school and influenced by the priests around and teaching him, Father Morel began to consider the priesthood, but he had some concerns — mostly that he wasn't "good enough."
He began to see a spiritual director who assured him: "Nobody is good enough to become a priest, but just try to do your honest best … and God will show you the way."
Father Morel began borrowing magazines from his spiritual director, and one day picked up the one belonging to the Congregation of the Immaculate Heart of Mary (CICM), known as Missionhurst priests in the United States. He was transfixed by a photograph on the wall of a man "with a big heavy coat and a cap with flaps" atop a small horse. He found out that the man was his spiritual director's best friend and a Missionhurst missionary in China.
Carrying all these things in his heart, Father Morel went to Mass and stayed after to pray.
"I didn't do much meditation," he said. "I would just sit there and tell Jesus that I love Him very much and to tell me please what He wants me to do with my life. One day it was so clear: 'You go to Missionhurst.'"
"What a relief," Father Morel said. "I don't have to worry anymore."
And, as an added bonus, he found out that the CICM house was right there in Brussels, only a short trolley ride away.
The life of a missionary
Father Morel entered the CICM order Sept. 7, 1933, and was ordained Aug. 6, 1939. At that point, the missionaries were very active in China, and Father Morel assumed he'd join his confreres there. But God and the Communists had other plans, and China was closed off to those doing mission work.
Instead, Father Morel spent four years as a parish priest in Brugge, Belgium, before being sent west in 1946 to the United States and St. Ignatius Church in Philadelphia. At that time, race was a big factor in the inner-city church, but Father Morel quickly realized that the only thing different between a black person and a white person truly was color. When receiving Communion, their hands and their tongues were the same as anybody else's, he said.
Still, he said, speaking on the heels of the re-election of President Barack Obama,
"I never thought that in my lifetime there would be a black president."
After nine years in Philadelphia, Father Morel was sent in 1954 to St. Leo Church in Detroit — another challenging assignment in the time of the civil rights movement and race riots. In downtown Detroit white people moved to the suburbs and African-Americans moved to the city, he said. But no one ever touched church property. And he knew the community members appreciated the presence of the church and the school.
In 1980, Father Morel came to the Arlington Diocese. For several years he lived at Missionhurst, taking care of the order's many aging priests. In 1989, he was appointed pastor of Our Lady of the Blue Ridge, where he stayed until his retirement in 2002.
Madison was a total change from his former urban parishes. When he arrived, the parish was primitive: no sanctuary, Mass in the basement and three liturgies with few congregants. He also was hesitant about being in a part of the country where Catholics were, by far, the minority.
"I'll have to be very careful here and learn and watch my words and watch my doings," he thought. But then, one after the other, the ministers and pastors from surrounding churches called to introduce themselves.
"I was very, very welcomed," he said.
In his 13 years in Madison he built up the church, literally and figuratively. Among the Blue Ridge Mountains and unable to see any other house from his own, he embraced the outdoors.
"I am a nature man," he said. "I always loved gardens or parks and woods and rivers."
99 years strong
Approaching his 99th birthday this weekend, Father Morel is not quite as mobile as he used to be. When he first moved back to Missionhurst in 2002 he could walk everywhere and would regularly work in the garden. Now he uses a cane or a walker (which he calls his "Cadillac") and tries daily to complete five laps around the property — meditating on one line of the Apostles Creed per lap.
Though Father Morel no longer does any pastoral ministry, he stays as busy as he can and he's grateful to be where he is.
A stack of birthday cards sit on his desk, with messages from former parishioners and his Missionhurst confreres. You never realize what an impact you can have on people, he said, and he is grateful for the acknowledgments.
"I'm well taken care of," he said. "And God blesses me with good health."

How The Press Misinterprets Scientific Studies
from the dream-recording-machines dept
Click image to see full version
You can see the original Nature story here, followed by the BBC piece that focuses on dreams, even though that's not in the actual research. At least it admits that such things are far, far away. Others in the press weren't so careful. There are plenty of other such reports, but my favorite may be Metro in the UK that claims we're on the "brink" of recording people's dreams, despite that not being even close to true. For what it's worth, it appears some sources, such as Reuters did not parrot the dream recording angle, but plenty did.
It's a pretty good reminder that, especially when it comes to scientific research, you really shouldn't believe everything you read.
Oh, and as a random aside, while this story from Moran is entertaining, it does not come close in entertainment value to this other story that Cerf told at a different Moth event about his life as a bank robber. Seriously. No matter what you're doing today, find ten minutes to watch this next video:

Planning & Organizing
It's that time of year.
I'm shamelessly susceptible to commercial marketing. Candy corn never crosses my mind until midway through September when the backpacks and crayons disappear and Halloween candy floods retail stores. I'm first in line for a gingerbread latte on November 1. Right now, it is in the high 80s in Southern California and I still bought a pair of gloves last week.
According to the retail stores, we are currently in the three-week window (before the Valentine's Day rush) when we should be organizing our homes as we pack away winter holiday paraphernalia and find places for the gifts we received.
If you've been bitten by the organizing bug, consider taking some time to organize your child's home program.
Physical Space
Organizing therapy space is very dependent on the nature of your child's program. I recommend checking in with the lead therapist or supervisor before making any major changes, as they may have some specific ideas that will improve the efficiency and effectiveness of your child's home program. With that in mind, here are a few organizing suggestions.
– Create a home base for the therapist. This space should be large enough to store and organize therapy supplies that stay in the home, including pens, Post-Its, tape, scissors and stimuli. Ideally, it would also be a place where the therapist can store his or her bag during sessions. It should be inaccessible to your child and their siblings – with regularly used reinforcers kept here. If not, they need to be stored in another location that will not provide your child with free access.
– When organizing toys or clothes that you expect your child to use (and clean up) independently, use labels that your child understands. If your child is not reading, label bins or drawers with pictures or drawings rather than words. Adhesive business card sleeves are my personal preference. They stick to bins and drawers and you can easily change the label when you change the contents by sliding in a new picture or written label.
– Store toys and reinforcers in clear bins. Just as we might do an inventory of our pantry before going to the store, when children see the contents of their bins, it serves as a reminder of what they have. This increases the likelihood that they will mand for these items because they can see the options available rather than having to recall all their toys from memory. If for some reason the therapy team needs to store an item out of sight from the child, a clear bin can always be lined with paper or the item placed in a bag.
Therapy Space
– Find space in your home for the therapy team to store toys and materials that will be inaccessible to your child outside of sessions. Motivation is essential to an effective ABA program. If your child has free access to toys and materials used during sessions, they may quickly lose motivation to access those items during therapy. This can dramatically slow learning and shift the focus of therapy from learning new skills to identifying new items and activities that are motivating. Communicate with the therapy team to see which toys or materials they would like kept out of reach.
– Keep things close to the location where they will be used. This practical approach to organization isn't always our first instinct. For example, you may currently store all your child's homework supplies in her bedroom, but if your child always does homework in the dining room, it makes sense to keep those supplies in the dining room where they will be used. This reduces the task demand for doing homework because your child will not have the added chore of gathering and putting away homework supplies.
– Once you find storage locations that work, be consistent, especially if the therapy team and your child will be going to those locations to access items. Knowing where things are located reduces frustration and confusion for your child and increases their independence at home.
Paper Organization
– Some ABA programs, like Skills® are now web-based. Having worked in the field for many years before the advent of tablets and web-based data collection, I cannot overstate how fantastic this new technology is! No overflowing log books exploding during a clinic meeting, no need to file data, and no risk of losing valuable information because of leaky sip cups or a sibling who wants to "collect data" all over the behavior graph. If you aren't already using web-based curriculum and program management such as Skills®, now might be the time to start.
– Store additional documents electronically with a scanner. Organize and save IEP records, school work, assessment reports and medical records on your computer or a cloud. If you have a large backlog, this might take some initial work, but getting rid of that foot-high stack of papers will be worth it, and it makes retrieval and sharing of documents much easier too.
Wishing you and your family a productive and Happy New Year!

Bulldogs Beat Big Green 5-3
NEW HAVEN, Conn. – Kevin Peel sat out the last three games with an injury, so the senior defenseman was the least likely Bulldog to have a multiple-point night with his team fighting for home ice in the men's ECAC Hockey Playoffs before a sellout crowd at Ingalls Rink. He notched a goal and had a big assist as Yale beat Dartmouth 5-3 to take sole possession of eighth place on the second-to-last weekend of the regular season.
Peel was on the ice for just four shifts. Senior forward Brian O'Neill, who had as much ice time as anyone in the game, notched a goal and two assists to help Yale (11-13-2, 8-10-1 ECAC) snap a two-game skid with three games remaining before the post season.
The Bulldogs, who swept the Big Green this year, converted three of seven advantages while getting goals from five players. However, the Yale penalty kill may have been more important tonight, killing off all seven Dartmouth opportunities with help from Nick Maricic's 27 saves.
"Our penalty kill in the second period was huge (3 kills). If we don't' have those kills, it doesn't give our power play the chance to bail us out," said Keith Allain '80, Yale's Malcolm G. Chace Head Coach.
Dartmouth (9-13-4, 6-10-3) outshot Yale 30-28 and got 23 saves from James Mello.
Yale had the best chance to score early, including a two-man advantage for 74 seconds. Mello came up with three saves and the Big Green killers did a great job clearing the puck, but the Bulldogs continued to put on the pressure.
O'Neill hit pipe with 3:40 left, which led to the game's first goal. On the ensuing shift, Andrew Miller (2 assists) fed Anthony Day and the freshman winger sent a shot off a defender that bounced over to their linemate. Kenny Agostinto, looking for his 11th of the year, smacked it back into the net with 3:13 left.
The Big Green, who had a 12-11 edge in shots in the first, evened things 6:51 into the second on a short-ranged one-timer by Brandon McNally, who converted the backhanded crossing feed from Paul Lee. Maricic had no chance as the pass came across from the just below the left circle to the same spot on the right.
The Elis grabbed the lead back less than a minute later on O'Neill's rising snap shot from the inside edge of the left circle. The Yale captain took Colin Dueck's quick backhanded pass from behind the net and sent it over Mello's shoulder at 7:45 of the second to make it 2-1 on his 18th of the season.
"Colin (Dueck) got it out to me, and I had all day to do something with it. It's pretty tough for a goalie to stop a shot when you have that much time. I think it actually rolled a bit before I shot it," said O'Neill.
A great lead pass off the boards that turned into a 3-on-2 rush enabled the visitors to tie it again in the second. Lee hit Brandon McNally and then he found defenseman Connor Goggin, who jumped on the rush. The senior zipped across the slot, waited for a commitment and then flicked it over the Yale goalie at 16:15.
The home team used a goalie interference penalty on Dartmouth to get the game's first power-play tally and take its third lead. Jesse Root was the recipient of the perfect pass to the right circle from O'Neill. Root (4th goal) re-directed the feed by winding up and sending the puck top shelf in the third.
Dartmouth continued to take penalties and the Elis jumped on another chance to take a two-goal lead. Chad Ziegler (7th) re-directed Peel's shot from the point at 4:27.
Doug Jones' long wrister from the high slot beat Maricic on the glove side with 9:37 left to make it 4-3 and put the crowd in a tizzy.
Maricic followed with a great save on McNally with 7:13 left on a mini-breakaway, and Yale got another break when Agostino was taken down to put Dartmouth on the kill with under two minutes left. With Mello out for an extra skater, Root tapped the puck to Peel who went the distance for the empty-netter.
BULLDOG BITES: Andrew Miller tied Denny Kearney for 4th on Yale's career assist list with 86… Brian O'Neill's goal was the 66th of his career… This is Yale Hockey's Alumni Weekend, and the annual alumni game is Saturday at 9 a.m… The Bulldogs host Harvard on Saturday at 7 p.m. at the Whale. The game is sold out.

Former world number one tennis player Caroline Wozniacki stuffed a couple of towels down her top and skirt to imitate Serena William's curvy body during a match against Maria Sharapova in Sao Paolo on Saturday.
The public went nuts for the performance and Wozniacki even won the point she played 'in costume'. It was all fun and games until the video made its way to the internet and people started calling her act racist.
Feminist site Feministing.com featured the story of the Danish blond impersonating the African American in their 'Weekend in racism and sexism' section, claiming that a white woman making fun of a dark one would be considered racist in today's society because of the current history of racial standards of beauty and the over-sexualization of people of color.
" When a white woman makes fun of a black women's body, especially in a way that hypersexualizes her and draws on the stereotype of black women's big butts, it's racist," the article stated.
The performance drew both negative and positive comments on YouTube where comments have gone from calling Wozniacki a hater and a bigot to a fun tennis player with personality.
Wozniacki was the first Scandinavian woman to hold the top ranking position in Tennis, she held the tittle for 67 weeks as of January 23, 2012.

Hi Everyone,
I am new to kitesurfing. Had 9 hours of lessons and can basically get up and go for about 100m. I kite at Mui Ne in Vietnam.
Finding it really difficult to choose the best suited kites for my first purchase.
Im 85kg and 175m.
I know the general feedback is to try the kites and see which one feels better but as I am still fresh they all seem to feel equally difficult hahahaha
I have been given advice by 2 of my instructors (who dont sell kites) and friendly strangers who have all guided me in different directions. I wanted to confuse myself with more opinions before I make my final decision.
I have been told the below kites are good to learn on and also good enough to keep you satisfied as you become more experienced.
SS Rally 2012 or 2013
Ozone Catalyst 2013
Best Kahoona 2012 or 2013
Best TS 2012 or 2013
I am going for 8m or 9m and a 12m
My initial preference was the 2012 RPM seeing as I can get a good price on them but have read mixed reviews about how easy/difficult and forgiving they are to fly.
I have no knowledge about the SS Rally. I havent been able to find anyone that rides them yet.
The 2013 Ozone Catalyst seems to be getting awesome reviews and seems like an easy kite to fly but is pricey.
I have no idea about BEST kites although they look to be the cheapest which is always nice when you are on a budget.
I really want an easy kite to fly to learn that can still get me excited once I know what im doing.
If anyone has any tips or experience with these kites let me know?

Sculpture Park
This site is dedicated to the University of Rio Grande Sculpture Park. The sculptures pictured here are all located out of doors on the University of Rio Grande Campus. The locations are listed at the end of each description. Or, for more adventure, you may just find a sculpture on campus, look around and you will see another. The majority of these works are on loan from various artists to support a perpetual sculpture exhibition developed for the enjoyment of school children, Rio Grande students and faculty, and for the citizens in the community and Southeastern Ohio.
All the works were created by professional sculptors from throughout the United States. The concept for establishing the park was initiated by our friend and arts consultant Brooks Jones. It was then launched with the donation of "Folded/Circle Ring" by Fletcher Benton, along with generous financial support from Bob Evans. Both Brooks and Fletcher were natives of Jackson county who developed international reputations in the arts. Bob Evans was a nationally famous businessman and entrepreneur and life-long supporter of the university. They each deserve our enthusiastic appreciation. Brooks had always been a lover and promoter of the arts and upon his death also donated an outstanding collection of art from his private collection. This collection can be seen on the second floor of the Greer Museum and Gallery. Fletcher still lives and works in San Francisco.
As you explore our campus, enjoy our efforts to provide and maintain this collection of contemporary art which is relatively unique to the region. See what your imagination will do with this variety of stimulating and thought provoking objects. Comments and questions about this project should be directed to professor, sculptor, and curator Kevin Lyles.
Painted Steel Fletcher Benton Benton has a refined and classical technique and it is apparent in "Folded Circle/Ring." This piece is kinesthetic; whereas, movement is an option but not the focus of the work. The audience may manually move this circle to change the view and interpretation of the piece. The use of form, color, texture, and symbolism was motivation for this piece. If all communication were obsolete or unattainable, what is the symbol most humans would understand and identify with? The circle...... Folded/Circle Ring began our exhibition and is considered to be our anchor work. (Between the Berry Center for the Fine and Performing Arts and the Greer Museum)

If you're a PlayStation 4 owner you may be aware that todays software update (4.5) adds custom wallpaper support, allowing you to use any screenshot on your console as a home screen wallpaper. This of course lets you set any of the screenshots you've taken in video games as a wallpaper (like the ones I've been sharing in our screenshot thread of the beautiful Horizon Zero Dawn), but you can just as easily use external images for this too:
Simply navigate your PS4's browser to the URL of the wallpaper image you'd like to use, fullscreen it and take a screenshot with the share button. Then head to your Theme settings, choose 'Custom' & you'll find your screenshot in the 'Other' folder. Easy!
If you'd like to use the same STR wallpaper as I tweeted above, just point your PS4 browser to http://bit.ly/2m2rGn3. Alternatively, you can find lots of other STR wallpapers on our main site here as well, should you fancy!
(You can ofc use this as a desktop wallpaper too)
Have fun

IBM Publishes Migration Guide From Windows to Linux
IBM has published a guide to help enterprises migrate their systems from Windows to Linux. It pays a special attention to the users who want to migrate from MS Office to equivalent Linux-based products. The guide also covers the use of Kiosk tool to limit the configurability of the KDE desktop and contains an appendix about desktop automation and scripting talking about KJSEmbed, DCOP, Kommander and other tools. The title of the guide is "A Practical Planning and Implementation Guide for Migrating to Desktops Linux" and may be directly downloaded in PDF.
Uuuuuuuu ... first post
Good thing. Not so much as a valuable document as a signal to enterprises.

Strange migration
Why does IBM recommend a migration from an operating system to a kernel?
It would be much more logical to migrate to another operating system like GNU.

Re: Strange migration
I kde.news the right forum for this particular debate? I think not.
By Apollo Creed at Wed, 2005/01/12 - 6:00am
Re: Strange migration
I think it is the right place to discuss. Any mention of KDE as a desktop alternative and KDE tools by "better-known" companies and media should be encouraged. Frankly this is what KDE is lacking as compared to GNOME. A little bit of hype never hurt anyone :-)
By Kanwar at Wed, 2005/01/12 - 6:00am
Re: Strange migration
I think you don't get it. Apolo Creed is taking about the fact that Mr. Ouzie-Bouzie is bitching about calling linux gnu/linux. Given his name "Mr. Ouzie-Bouzie ", I guess he's probably trolling.
By Pat at Wed, 2005/01/12 - 6:00am
Re: Strange migration
He is clearly trolling, all here know the correct term are KDE/Linux.

Re: Strange migration
> Why does IBM recommend a migration from an operating system to a kernel?
The migration guid is hardly specific to Linux or to GNU. Almost everything mentioned in the migration guide is true for BSD as well. It would therefore best be named: "Migrating Windows to KDE or GNOME".
For a worker in a company that has migrated from Windows to KDE, it doesn't matter whether the sysadmin chose to run Linux+GNU or BSD or whatever below the user interface.

Re: Strange migration
So how many people work in your company? Any side-effects of this?
By Adrian at Fri, 2005/01/14 - 6:00am
Re: Strange migration
linux has a kernel, but the term is now used by all (except Mr Ouzie-Bouzie and some FSF stalwarts) to describe the complete distro that is distributed by the likes of Red Hat, Mandrake, Debian, &c.
I remember several years ago hearing Free Software Foundation folk explaining that the GNU operating system was going to be based on Carnegie-Mellon's hurd, not linux, then later hearing Richard Stallman explaining that linux should be called Gnu linux, but the linux community stuck with the FSF's original position, that the operating system could only be called Gnu if it had the hurd as its kernel. Since the linux community doesn't have corporate positions on topics such as this, there isn't any mechanism for changing it. linux has been the name of the operating system for more than ten years now. When folk wish to distinguish the kernel as such they normally refer to it as "the linux kernel".
By Richard Royston at Thu, 2005/01/13 - 6:00am
Re: Strange migration
Nice post!
I'm tired of this old debate, and I think it does more harm then good to keep bitching over it. As in: We all want GPL'ed (or similar) software to be the defacto of the world. But keeping this old flamewar alive is actually spreading FUD whithin our own ranks.
QOTD: "Burry the hatched! Democracy has decided that the name of the child is Linux, but all of us in the know, know where it all began and what's really the backbone of it all". ;-D
By Macavity at Fri, 2005/01/14 - 6:00am
Re: Strange migration
"It would be much more logical to migrate to another operating system like GNU."
Then what would one use as a kernel? HURD? Then, you'd have to use GRUB; but LILO is so much prettier and less intimidating.
Just a little bit of irony. Linux is, whether Stallman likes it or not, common parlance for a system that uses the Linux kernel; the Linux kernel itself is called The Kernel, a name not used for other kernels.
Plus, GNU/Linux is unfair to the other tools that people use. Beside glibc, I doubt there are any other GNU tools that the average desktop user uses. Even the display manager will hide bash from the non-sysadmin. But X, KDE, Mozilla and other tools are integral to desktop and corporate Linux.

By Dexter Filmore at Wed, 2005/01/19 - 6:00am
Good News!
I like the way Appendices C and D talk about application scripting, Kommander, kdebindings, DCOP etc and some of the features that make KDE a great scripting and development environment for writing custom (ie in house) applications.
I think KDE is usually seen as a bunch of pre-written applications with accompanying desktop, and not enough emphasis is given to the fact that it's also a killer application framework. And especially if you don't necessarily have to write your apps in C++ via the various projects in kdebindings..

Linux usability at its best!
Wonderful. IBM tells corporate users to use GIMP - surely the face of linux usability! Just wait till they start trying to draw lines.
Well, at least they're ahead of Novell which also tries to get business users to unmount floppies and cds...
By c at Thu, 2005/01/13 - 6:00am
Re: Linux usability at its best!
If you want to *draw* lines, use a *drawing* application like Inkscape ;-)
For all its many usability flaws, one nice thing about The GIMP is that it doesn't follow Adobe's tendency to mix painting and drawing tools together.
By Tom at Thu, 2005/01/13 - 6:00am

Or use the Gimp's vector drawing abilities.

Last night was Len's "Side-by-Side" challenge, which ended with the two comedians on the bottom of the scoreboard and Zendaya and Val on top. Also: Jacoby Jones got some air, and had some fun with an air horn.
They're getting the most out of that corridor thing from last night, as the group number opens in it. And, hey! They got the Stig from Top Gear to come dance. Oh, wait, this is some weird futuristic space thing, with all sorts of weird projections on the dance floor, resembling either the lunar surface or a grid of laser beams and everybody is stomping around very purposefully in space suits.
I mean, it's an impressive routine but I watch this show for ballroom dancing. Leave the other stuff to "So You Think You Can Dance." Oh, apparently that was coordinated by Mark and Derek. We should just be thankful it wasn't "Spats in Space."
Brooke is sporting bangs tonight. She shouldn't.
All the couples are on stage waiting for results and we find out the first couple who is safe is Kellie & Derek. Those two are slowly approaching having the same haircut.
The first couple in jeopardy is Ingo & Kym. Booooo. I like Ingo, even if he's not a great dancer.
Surprise! Celebrities who signed up to be on a dancing show like to talk on camera. Sean makes a rose joke, Andy goofs around with a cape, Jacoby is a menace with an air horn.
And now for the encore dance, Len announces that they're making Jacoby's dream come true. Yay! I loved this routine last night and am more than happy to watch it again. Jacoby does the leap over Karina again and this time with even less of a running start. Impressive!
They show footage of Bruno and Carrie Ann teasing Len last night during the in-ballroom playback of him explaining the "side-by-side challenge" gimmick. It's funny to see them be goofy like that.
Tom brings out Zendaya & Val and Victor & Lindsay and then has Maks come out as well. With Zendaya flanked by Chermkovskiys (Chmerkovskies? I'm not sure how you're supposed to pluralize that. I just know it involves a lot of hot wax and spray tan). We find out she's safe.
Victor is feeling good tonight, but last night he really wanted to visit the little boys' room before their routine. And we find out he can indeed pee in under three minutes. And they're in jeopardy.
The Band Perry performs. Tristan and Witney dance. Witney doesn't wear shoes. I want to give haircuts to the Perry men.
"Pep talk" segment from Len. He wears a cardigan, but is no Mr. Rogers. We see a moment of Len dancing down a hallway and I'll reiterate my desire to see Len on the ballroom floor before this show eventually goes off the air.
Jacoby & Karina are safe. Duh. Aly & Mark are safe. Mark does dumb victory poses.
Next week will be the first team dances and they let us know Zendaya and Kellie will be team captains. Team Paso will dance to "Higher Ground," and Team Salsa will dance to "Superstition." When Zendaya is asked which one she wants to dance to, she says either will be great. I wonder if she's covering for not knowing either of them because she's so young. I hope not.
Andy & Sharna are in the skybox and Brooke asks Andy whose team he hopes to end up on. He says that while both dancers are amazing, he hopes Kellie chooses him so they can be "Team Pickler Dick." Now, I'm not the professional comedian, but I think "Dick Pickler" is funnier. Brooke freaks out that he can't say that while Kellie thinks it's hilarious and hugs him. When Brooke gives up and pitches it to Tom, he says, "For the first time in 16 seasons, I got nothing." Love you anyway, Tom.
A gelfling by the name of Kerli is performing her song while two barefoot people dance a routine choreographed by Stacey Tookey. There's emotion everywhere.
Selena Gomez goes quasi-Bollywood for "Come and Get It" and it's cute how she's wearing a mike when I'm pretty sure not a single syllable of this song is being sung live.
Sean & Peta are safe. Andy & Sharna are safe which means the dream of #DickPickler lives on. D. L. & Cheryl are in jeopardy.
With the three "in jeopardy" couples on stage, Ingo & Kym are revealed to be safe. Wonder how low they really were in scoring if they weren't bottom two. Did they just want to put the fear into Ingo's voting base?
D.L. is going home. Can't say I'm that upset. Victor's kind of growing on me and I'm glad to see him sticking around.
D. L. says jokingly the only thing he's going to miss is Cheryl.
See you next week for Stevie Wonder week. Tell me in the comments which of his songs you're hoping to hear next week - myself, I've got my fingers crossed for "I Believe (When I Fall in Love It Will Be Forever)".

Paneer bhurji is an Indian dish made of scrambled Paneer and spices with other optional veggies.It is a dry dish and can be used as a topping for bread or sandwich filling or with rotis or for me consumed as itself.There are several versions of this dish and I know I need not say much more about it.
I decided to make a vegan version by using tofu instead of paneer.Several of the Indian dishes are vegan or can be veganized.I have already made Tofu Akuri where instead of eggs I used tofu and now I wanted to use tofu in a similar scrambled way with other spices replacing Indian cottage cheese Paneer.I am a fan of paneer and have also been using tofu.I have also simply replaced paneer in an earlier dish Peas and Tofu Masala and I could not feel any taste difference with this replacement.For the scrambled dish ,I have used wonderful DK of ChefInYou's hearty Tofu Burji recipe without any changes.
Tofu:2 packet drained for atleast 1 hour on paper towels or 3 cups firm tofu grated
Peas: 1/2 cup
Capsicum/Bell Pepper: 1 big cubed
Red Onion: 1 chopped long & thin
Tomato : 1 cubed
Green chillies:2-3 slit
(Spices can be adjusted as per taste)
Garam Masala:1/2 tsp +
Turmeric Powder:1/4 tsp +
Jeera/Cumin seeds :1/4 tsp+
Coriander-Cumin Powder:1/2 tsp +
Ginger -Garlic Paste:1 tsp
Cilantro/Coriander: few sprigs chopped
Olive/Vegetable oil:1/2 tbsp
If your tofu comes in water-locked packets like mine,then make sure you drain it in several sheets of paper towels for atleast an hour changing the sheets as and when necessary.
Grate tofu in a big bowl.Add to it, garam masala,turmeric powder,coriander-cumin powder along with oil,clit green chillies and ginger -garlic paste.Mix well using hands till well blended and keep it aside covered for 15-20 minutes so that tofu absorbs the flavours.
In a deep dish pan/kadai/skillet,add chopped onions along with little salt.The salt brings out the water in onion which prevents them from sticking to the bottom of the skillet and also cooks/browns them faster thus avoiding the use of oil.You can add oil at this stage or any other stage though.
Once the onions are browned,add cumin seeds and saute for 1 minute, then add bell pepper and tomato and cook till soft.Then add tomato puree and continu cooking until the raw smell of puree disappears. Then add the spiced tofu mix and saute till everything is blended.Then add peas and stirfry till the peas gets .Garnish with cilantro and serve hot with rotis,on top of breads or anyway you wish.
The dish was very hearty and I enjoyed it as itself.I couldnot feel any difference by using tofu in this dish also instead of Paneer.Hearty tofu bhurji is on way to IAVW:Indian,an event by Vaishali of HolyCow, and currently hosted by Graziana of ErbeinCucina .Hearty Thanks DK for the excellent recipe and also the lovely step by step pictures
Updated on 18th September 09: The yummy and spicy dish is also travelling all the way to MLLA:15 ,a legumy event by Susan,The wellseasoned Cook and hosted this time by Sia of MonsoonSpice .


text: Junk Fued. A rather clever name IMO. In all honesty, I hate junk food. I eat it only when i have nothing else to eat and when im too lazy to make or get something. healthy food is so muchbetter, but it always harder to make and more expensive. I try to only spend like $10 a day on food. that comes out to 3650 dollars a year on eating out. I dont think thats too bad considering my income. thats actually very low considering what most people would spend, but i beleive in saving and not splurging. Im ecstatic with my busienss but i know it wont last forever, as much as i hope it does. when it ends and starts to slow, ill have to adapt. me buying a porsche or ferrari is just out of the question for a few years. i like vacation homes in southern frace and switzerland. i will do whatever I can to get those and maybe the pizza place down the street before i buy a 200K car. I have a 4 year plan and Im just about 1 year into it and im thrilled. hopefully it only gets better. anyway, more from me later.
