Piranha 3DD - Spoiler Free Review
Piranha 3D was a pretty awesome movie. It had a great mix of horror and comedy and some scene stealing cameos which made my inner nerd SQUEE. I have just got back from viewing the sequel Piranha 3DD and am left with a great sense of disappointment, both in the movie and being out £14 for seeing it.
Piranha 3D had a terrific set up and it developed the characters so you could genuinely give a shit about whether or not they survived the events of the movie. The same could not be said of the follow-up installment.
The piranha look bizarre and have a new kind of armour plated head, they also growl, which is a bit weird for a fish. One would think the setting of a water park would give a chance for the director to build tension by trapping victims in areas completely surrounded by the flesh eating fish, but the setting is under utilised and is mainly used to show the boobies of every woman who does not have a speaking line. I was left wondering if the director had actually seen the first movie as the emphasis was pro-boobies, anti-piranha's actually attacking people. The plot was quite flimsy and left several threads hanging that my suspension of disbelief would just not ignore. The main characters were so flat that I genuinely cannot remember any of their names, despite me normally being awesome at remembering characters names and I only got home ten minutes ago.
There are some highlights to the movie, the opening scene is certainly worth seeing and the Hoff's cameo (as shown in the trailer) is one of the best parts of the movie. Christopher Lloyd's reappearance is highly entertaining and the credits were worth staying for.
Fans of the first movie should not get their hopes up too high for this sequel, but people who found the first one too gorey should have no problem with this one and may even enjoy it.

Today, I went to the beach front with my kids. I found a sea shellReplyDelete
and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said "You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear." She placed the shell to her ear and screamed.
There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear.

Storymoja Festival takes place 17–21 September 2014 at the National Museum of Kenya in Nairobi
Since its inception in 2007, the Storymoja Festival has grown into an internationally established event that brings together and celebrates critical thinkers and great minds in storytelling, ideas sharing, writing and contemporary culture. It offers a platform for exposure, for local and international collaborations, and showcases creative talent to feed the minds of both young and old across cultural and social divides.
Hay Festival has supported sister festival Storymoja in Nairobi since 2009, and in 2014 offers a series of curated events under the title 'Hay Festival Presents...', including events with authors from the Africa39.
In 2014 once again renowned Kenyan and international narrators, writers, poets and creative artists will attend Storymoja. They gather to imagine a world, and beyond that to create a space that, through critical expression and interaction, will not only tell our every story, but also challenge us to strive towards improving our world; towards a world that does not allow for such events as the siege that happened on 21 September 2013 at the Westgate Mall, Nairobi. Tragically, the siege resulted in the death of, among others, Professor Kofi Awoonor, one of Africa's great voices and poets. The Professor was at that time a guest of the Storymoja Festival 2013. In honour of his memory and others who lost their lives in the terrorist attack, there are several special tribute events in the 2014 programme." Auma Obama, Festival Patron 2014

The Chicago Fire (0-0-1, 1 point) return to the Windy City this week to open up their 15th MLS home campaign when they welcome the Philadelphia Union for Opening Night at Toyota Park this Saturday, March 24 at 7:30 p.m. CT (CSN). Fire Pregame starts at 7:00 p.m. CT on Comcast SportsNet.
The Men in Red kicked off the 2012 season by earning a hard-fought 1-1 draw in front of a record crowd of 58,912 at the Montreal Impact last Saturday. After falling behind 1-0 on Davy Arnaud's 56th minute header, Fire striker Dominic Oduro brought things level, burying a pinpoint cross from Sebastian Grazzini in the 71st minute. The goal and result marked the eighth time in the last 12 months that the Fire have come from behind to earn at least a point.
The March 24 match marks the earliest regular season home opener in the club's 15 seasons, besting by two days last year's 3-2 victory over Sporting Kansas City on March 26. In that time, the Fire are 8-3-3 all-time in their first match of the year in Chicagoland.
Much like Saturday's season opener at Montreal, the Philadelphia Union have a number of connections to the Fire past. Former Fire captain, midfielder and original Ring of Fire member Peter Nowak is now in his third season as the head coach of the Union while former midfielder Diego Gutierrez is the club's Sporting Director and former defender Jim Curtin works in the club's Academy. All three men sit in the top 15 in all-time MLS Regular Season appearances for the Fire.
CHICAGO FIRE TRAINING SCHEDULE: March 19 – March 25
Chicago Fire players and coaches will be made available to media at the Toyota Park Practice Field. Media are able to begin conducting interviews after training, which runs approximately two hours. (All times central unless otherwise noted)

CHICAGO FIRE vs. Philadelphia Union
- The Fire are 8-3-3 all-time in home openers and 4-1-1 all-time in season curtain raisers at Toyota Park.
- Since Philadelphia came into the league in 2010, the Fire are 1-2-1 all-time against the Union and 1-0-1 when facing them at Toyota Park.
· This will mark only the fifth time out of 15 seasons that the Fire will play their second game at home. The Fire have a 5-2-7 all-time record in the second match of the season.
- With the one-year anniversary of his trade from the Houston Dynamo this week, Fire forward Dominic Oduro's 71st minute goal was his 13th regular season goal for the club in the last year.
- With his helper on Oduro's goal Saturday, Sebastian Grazzini has tallied either a goal or assists in nine of his 12 regular season appearances since joining the Fire last July. Grazzini currently has five goals and five assists in 859 minutes of MLS play
- With an appearance in Saturday's match vs. the Union, Ghanaian Patrick Nyarko will tie former Fire winger DaMarcus Beasley at 14th on the club's all-time regular season appearance list with 98 games played.
- Philadelphia comes into Saturday's match having dropped both games they've played thus far. The Union fell 3-1 on March 12 at Portland and 2-1 on Sunday vs. Colorado.
· The Fire are 7-6-3 all-time when facing former captain Peter Nowak. The team went 6-4-2 against Nowak during his time at the helm of D.C. United from 2004-06 and have gone 1-2-1 since the Fire all-time assist leader took the reins in Philadelphia.

There was a huge debate on whether the Google Play edition phones, like the HTC One GPe and the Samsung Galaxy S 4 GPe, would get updates as fast as Nexus devices. We knew that manufacturers would be handling the updates, but some people held out hope that the process would be near instant. However, it just didn't work out that way. Once the 4.3 update started rolling out to Nexus devices, there was no word about the GPe devices except "soon."
However, we've had a few advances that prove the updates are, in fact, coming. The Galaxy S 4 GPe had a 4.3 firmware leak quite a while ago, so it must be very close to ready. And today, HTC has posted the full Android 4.3 kernel source for the One GPe. If that doesn't mean that the update is very close, we don't know what does.
Hit the source link to download the kernel source and framework files to mess around before the full update starts rolling out. And get excited, because Android 4.3 packs a few good changes that are sure to improve your device. Plus, you're still getting it earlier than any other device that isn't a Nexus! Google Play edition owners, are you unhappy with how long the update is taking, or is it acceptable?

Why is it important to make a donation?
Everything that is truly valuable requires an exchange of energy, for it is in the giving that you receive the true worth. It is then that your prosperity becomes assured, as your donation signals to the Universe that you are ready to receive.
Yogi Bhajan taught that consciousness raising technologies are most valued when something is given in return. The blessing of your spiritual name, which holds within it the key to your own destiny, is such a technology.
There has been an exponential growth in the number of requests for spiritual names over the past few years. They have grown by over 500% since Yogi Bhajan's death in 2004. In light of this incredible growth, your donations are essential in order for us to keep up with the increasing number of requests we receive. We encourage you to give a donation of at least $25 for each spiritual name request. This enables us to continue to cover the costs of providing spiritual names to whomever requests them. Expenses include the cost of providing you with a quick response time to your request, web development, translations, bookkeeping, and other administrative costs.
Your support also allows the 3HO Spiritual Names Office to continue offering the profound technology and divine gift of spiritual names.

Subject: Re: [Videolib] ISBNs: the saga continues
Adrian -
I couldn't agree with you more. That's why I sent the message a while back
about the ISAN - a designation set up for Audio-Visual. However, most
of the producers have not heard about it and certainly are not using it.
It would take a lobby effort to encourage its use.
At this time, the ISAN is in the hands of a European group.
Here's what that says:
The International Standard Audiovisual Number (ISAN) (ISO 15706) is
designed to fill a gap in the network of unique identifiers, and it will
link up with the ISRC. ISAN makes it possible for all rights holders
(authors, interpreters, producers) to identify the audiovisual work. It
does not identify rights holders and their respective shares. ISAN is
applied to all audiovisual works. The term audiovisual work means any
work, consisting of an animated series of images, whether or not it is
accompanied by sound. ISAN is not intended to be applied to fixed images
or software packages.
ISAN is now a Final Draft International Standard (FDIS 15706). An ISAN
for versions is on preparation. It is promoted by AGICOA and FIAPF.
The ISAN consists of an ISAN prefix, followed by 16 digits, the last one
of which is a check digit.
Maybe we could start a movement to request and use this number.

The polling percentage is an improvement from the 43 per cent reported during Lok Sabha elections of 2009. Basti seat recorded the highest 57.8 per cent of polling.
"The polling remained peaceful barring small scuffles and complaints of booth capturing which could not be substantiated by the Election Commission," Uttar Pradesh Chief Electoral Officer Umesh Sinha said here.
In Amethi, where Rahul Gandhi is contesting, 55.2 per cent polling was recorded whereas in neighbouring Sultanpur from where BJP leader Varun Gandhi is contesting, 57.2 per cent voters have cast their votes.
The other prominent candidates contesting from Amethi include TV actress-turned-politician and BJP nominee Smriti Irani and Aam Aadmi Party`s Kumar Vishwas.
In Pratapgarh 53.1 per cent, while in Faizabad 57.6 per cent, Gonda 52.8 per cent, Kaushambi 52.6 per cent, Phulpur 54.06 per cent votes were cast, Sinha said.

These 15 seats had 2.60 crore electorate, including 1.19 crore women, he said.
There are 34 candidates in the fray from Amethi whose fate have been sealed in the EVMs.
Of the 25,085 polling centres, 3,715 were identified as critical.
AAP candidate from Amethi has demanded repoll on at least 50 polling stations alleging that despite his repeated requests and complaints the administration did not take proper action against the anti-social elements who disturbed the polling process.
He also said that his legal adviser and former minister of Delhi government Somnath Bharti has lodged complaints of irregularities with both of the observers sent by Election Commission R Ramakrishnan and Sanjiv.
Complaints of EVM malfunction were received from nearly eight booths in Bhadohi and five booths in Bahraich which saw delay in voting process.
In Bhadohi, polling was temporarily stopped in Bhadohi, Gyanpur, Aura and Handia for nearly half an hour and began only when faulty machines were replaced by the District Electoral Officer.
A booth level officer was replaced in Bhadohi for allegedly distributing slips in favour of a particular candidate.
In Pratapgarh`s Kandhai and Madhupur area, some people were not allowed to vote as their names were not in the list.
In Shravasti, most of the villagers of Piprigram did not cast their votes till three in the evening as they were protesting against poor development and bridge in the area.
Cajoling by the district officers could not budge the villagers as by the time news was written only three out of 1272 votes were cast at the booth.
Villagers said if bridge was not constructed, their village will turn into an island and remained disconnected with neighbouring areas.

President Obama made history when he became the first sitting US president to announce support for gay marriage on Wednesday.
His campaign hopes to make history again on Thursday when the candidate for reelection heads to Hollywood for what could be the single most lucrative presidential campaign fundraiser yet. Unofficial estimates of the evening's haul are running at $15 million.
The neatly-timed announcement on gay marriage, political pundits and gay rights activists say, has given the Obama candidacy fresh steam in the entertainment world as he heads toward a face-off with presumptive Republican nominee Mitt Romney.
"Hollywood has many faces," says Sherry Bebitch Jeffe, a political scientist at the University of Southern California. "So you cannot necessarily make a blanket statement." Nonetheless, she says, there were many in various segments of Hollywood – from the business executives to the middle-class union workers – who felt that Obama had not made good on campaign promises. "This announcement gives fresh energy to Obama's appeal across many sectors inside Hollywood," she says.
The payoff has begun immediately, with iconic TV producer Norman Lear announcing that after withholding support for Obama's reelection, he and his wife will pony up $40,000 each for the night's festivities.
Openly gay Latino superstar Ricky Martin announced Wednesday that he will host a fundraiser on May 14 in New York, saying in a statement quoted on the Broadway world site, "I believe Barack Obama has shown a deep conviction to help those most in need, even if their voices are not always the ones heard the loudest in Washington."
He went on to say that Obama "has also been an exceptionally strong advocate for the Latino and LGBT communities, leading us to precedent-setting milestones such as the appointment of the first Hispanic Supreme Court Justice. … I believe the president has put the United States back on the right path and has earned the opportunity to finish the critical work that he has started."
While it is easy to scoff at celebrities-as-politicos, it's important not to underestimate their reach, says Rich Ferraro, a spokesman for the gay rights advocacy group, GLAAD. "They are influencers of the larger culture," he says, "and when popular entertainers support an issue or a candidate, their exposure matters."
He points to the explosion of celebrity tweets all over Twitter in support of Obama's newly stated stance on gay marriage. People from Russell Simmons to Alec Baldwin are speaking their minds, says Mr. Ferraro. "This also means that when someone like Russell Simmons speaks out, his comments get picked up not just on the mainstream media, but in black media and entertainment media as well."
The Thursday night fundraiser is slated for the Fryman Canyon home of actor George Clooney in Studio City, where A-list actors and executives such as Robert Downey Jr. and Jeffrey Katzenberg will mingle with the other 150 or so luminaries who forked over the $40,000 price of entry.
Joining them will be two winners of an online raffle. This record-breaking strategy dangled two spots at the fundraiser for anyone willing to donate the suggested $3 or more in an online drawing.
This points to another important facet of the Obama campaign, the power of the small donor in contrast to the big celebrity, says Gordon Coonfield, professor of communication at Villanova University in Philadelphia.
"From what other media outlets have reported concerning Obama's fundraising, it isn't the rich and famous who do the bulk of the donating – it is ordinary, everyday Americans," he says. Indeed, if the $15 million materializes from the event, it would mean that far more than half came from small donors.
Locals such as Lisa Swane, an unemployed nurse who lives in Fryman Canyon, anticipates a nightmare traffic block on Thursday, but says Obama made the right move.
"I'm not thrilled about the traffic this is going to cause," she says, sitting in a Studio City Starbucks and reading an article about the possible record intake at the Clooney soirée, "but I think Obama is smart to tap Hollywood because he needs their deep pockets to offset Romney's millions."
Starbucks barrista Andrew Manus age 20, who just moved from Las Vegas, doesn't think Obama needs the money at all, but feels the president's clarified stance in favor of gay marriage will "most definitely help Hollywood types to open their wallets. It was a very smart move."

First date: You get to kiss her goodnight.
Second date: You get to grope all over and make out.

Eco Friendly Outdoor: Fresh Air Furniture Collection From Loll Designs
Just in time for summer entertaining, Loll Designs has debuted an eco-friendly new line of outdoor furniture called the Fresh Air Collection.
The Fresh Air Collection originated from a flat-pack design that was intended to ship with a prefab, disaster-relief home. The home never materialized, but that didn't stop Loll from bringing the furniture to life.
The simple collection features a palette of poppy and neutral colors, modern lines, and unique joinery that fit right into a small space backyard. Fresh Air tables and benches are made from paper-composite Richlite for structural bracing and recycled and recyclable HDPE (from milk jugs).
According to Loll, "Fresh air is as important as healthy food and good friends, and when all three coalesce there is something special that occurs."

Warning! This guide only work for any Luna server which the server file isn't being fixed yet. I do not guarantee if Dual Wielding(able to use shield skill without shield) doesn't work on the server you play whether if its official or non official. Use at own risk.
Q. What path should I go for?
A. These are the path that you need to go :
Level 1-20 Fighter > level 20-40 Warrior > level 40-75 Infantryman > level 75-105 Rune Knight > level 105 Sword Master.
Q. Infantryman?? Is it good to go Infantryman instead of Swordsman? and if I follow this path what skills should I go for?
A. Yes, although your only going to lose 90 crit on passive, but you can counter it with crit slime anyway. As for skills here what you need :
Fighter job(level 1-20)
1. Max Fighter Heart.
2. Max Crash Blow.
3. Max Uppercut.
4. Max 2H Training.
5a. Max Sword Training.
Note : Yes you are going to be 2H user until you enter Sword Master level.
Warrior job(level 20-40)
1. Max Risk Taker.
2. Max Fighter Heart.
3. Max Warrior Form.
4. Max Wheel Wind.
5. Max Crash Blow.
6. Max 2H Training.
7a. Max Sword Training.
Note: Crash Blow and Wheel Wind are going to be your main attack, feel free to spend other sp on other skills if you want.
Infantryman job(level 40-75)
1. Level 1 Attract Circle.
2. Max Blessing Guard.
3. Max Troopership.
4. Max Enchanced HP.
Note: Yes I know this is going to be a very difficult path to level since Infantryman doesn't offer much attack skills and mostly based on defend. But trust me its worth to get Infantryman as it will benefit you later in Sword Master level. If you found this path are so troublesome, you can go for Swordsman but later on Sword Master level you will miss few useful skills provided in Infantryman. You can spend the extra sp gained here on other skills you see fit, or save it for next job which is Rune Knight.
Rune Knight job(level 75-105)
1. Max all aura's.
2. Max Burning Crash.
3. Max Earthquake.
4. Max Sword Storm.
5. Max Rune Impact.
6. Max Sword Training.
7. Max Spirit Sword.
Note: Woot! finally some attack skills, yes since you are 2H user so there are few new offense skills available for you. At this point you able to tank enough monsters and also damage them while waiting date dungeon to be reset.
Sword Master job(level 105)
1. Max Sonic Boom.
2. Max Dual Sonic Boom.
3. Max Blunt Shield.
4. Max Rune Impact.
5. Max Fighter Heart.
6. Max Warrior Form.
7. Max Dual Wield Expertise.
8. Max Dual Wield Training.
9. Max Dual Weapon Accuracy.
10. Max Blessing Guard.

14. Max Sword Storm(optional for AoE leveling).
15. Max Sword Spin(optional for AoE leveling).
16. Max all aura's
17. Max Spirit Sword.
18. Max Sword Training.
19. Max Heavy Armor Expertise.
20. Max Enchanced HP (optional).
21. Max Heavy Weapon Accuracy.
Note: Congratulation on achieving Sword Master path. Yes as soon as you enter Sword Master you must use the skill reset. After that get all the skills I mention above. If you can't raise all to max, get the Sonic Boom, Rune Impact and other passive mention above.
Q. Does shield skills work with Dual Wielding?
A. Yes it does. That is why I provide the Infantryman path since you will get 2 stun skills at Sword Master level as well as Shield Barrier.
Q. What gear do you prefer for me to use and what are the stat build?
A. I recommended the Holy Iron Chain Knight gear since its an Heavy Armor gear so your defense would be boost nicely due to Heavy Armor Expertise. The stat build should be full STR on Sword Master path.
Q. What are the leveling spots you recommended?
A.The leveling spot are like this :
Level 20-40 = Tarintus, Moon Blind Forest.
Level 40-75 = Way to Howling Ravine, Howling Ravine, Howling Cave 1F/2F
Level 75-105 = Howling Cave 2F, Ghost Swamp Valley, Naila Harbor.
Note: You need to do date dungeon as well.
Q. Which npc should I talk to for the job change?
A. Here are the npc list for job change:
1. Warrior : Wiff in Alker Harbor.
2. Infantryman : Wiff in Alker Harbor.
3. Rune Knight : Celerian in Alker Harbor.
4. Sword Master : Cindamook in Naila Village.
Q. Can I pvp/pve well in Sword Master if I follow this path?
A. Yes, as for PVP, you are able to rune impact the target and follow up another stun skill with Blunt Shield. This would result a stun locking thus bully your opponent until he or she fed up. lol . As for PVE yes you should able to solo boss easily due to stun lock and for monster, you need to get Sword Storm and Sword Spin as your AoE skills.

Alexis Rivera, owner of Little Pedro's Blue Bongo in downtown Los Angeles, was riding his bike to work one night when he saw Nathaniel Anthony Ayers playing violin near the mouth of the 2nd Street tunnel. Rivera stopped and listened for more than an hour before approaching Nathaniel with a proposition.
"He played so beautifully," said Rivera, who had read about Nathaniel and knew he had been diagnosed in the 1970s with schizophrenia while a student at Juilliard. "I really love Los Angeles, and sitting there watching him as all these cars were whizzing past, with helicopters going by in the shadow of Disney Hall -- if you took a video image, it would perfectly capture the city."
Finally, Rivera walked up to Nathaniel and offered him a job at Little Pedro's on 1st Street.
Nathaniel was taken aback.
"He said, 'What? Nobody has asked me to do that in 30 years.' "
Nathaniel expressed doubts, saying he was too dirty to do a show, and there'd be nowhere to put the shopping cart that contains all his belongings.
It took about 15 minutes for Rivera to persuade Nathaniel to serve as an opening act on Tuesday nights, from 7 to 9, for rhythm and blues singer Mickey Champion. Rivera told Nathaniel if he got there early, he could have dinner for free.
" 'If I have dinner before I perform, I'll throw up,' " was Nathaniel's response, Rivera said.
On that first Tuesday, Nathaniel ran so late, Rivera wondered if he'd forgotten. When he finally arrived, Nathaniel seemed very nervous and took so long tuning his violin he never started. Shannon Murray of Lamp, the skid row mental health services agency that has been reaching out to Nathaniel, used her usual perfect touch in consoling and encouraging Nathaniel.
"I was horrible," Nathaniel later told me, but he said he was eager to do better next time. In fact, he said, he was putting in lots of practice time.
I arranged for a couple of psychiatrists to watch his next show with me at Little Pedro's, not just to get their assessment of Nathaniel, but because California is on the verge of the greatest growth of mental health services in four decades. Under Proposition 63, which voters approved in November, more than $700 million a year will be available statewide to expand and improve mental health care.
Darrell Steinberg, the former state assemblyman behind Proposition 63 -- which put a 1% tax on Californians with income over $1 million a year -- believes that if the money is spent wisely, the state can make a huge dent in homelessness caused by mental illness and begin to relieve the suffering of both the mentally ill and their tormented families.
"We have a historic opportunity to help a lot of people who have been ignored," Steinberg said. In Los Angeles County alone, the homeless count is estimated at 90,000.
The new money is "the most important thing to come along in 40 years," said Dr. Roderick Shaner, who joined me at Little Pedro's and is medical director for the Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health.
Shaner, who is helping to prepare the county's plan for spending an expected $100-million annual shot in the arm, said some of that money would go toward efforts to cajole people like Nathaniel off the streets and into therapy and housing.
But he realizes there are no easy cases, and Nathaniel provided the latest proof. As 7 p.m. came, the stage at Little Pedro's was empty.
Had Nathaniel forgotten?
When 7:30 rolled around, Vera Prchal, a Lamp psychiatrist, seemed as concerned as I was, and she hadn't even met Nathaniel yet.
Just before 8, I decided to go look for him in his usual skid row haunts. I was losing hope. But Nathaniel was already on his way.
A block from Little Pedro's, I saw the familiar shopping cart, which is festooned with palm fronds and contains a Ford hubcap, two violins, a cello and the sticks labeled "Beethoven" and "Brahms" that he uses to scatter rats when he beds down for the night.
"I had another engagement," Nathaniel told me without explanation.
Nathaniel left his cart in the parking lot, where Rivera had a watchman keep an eye on it, and strode into Little Pedro's with all three of his instruments. Eight or 10 patrons were waiting when he finally took the stage.
There's both madness and dignity in Nathaniel's appearance. He's got matted hair and grimy layers of clothing, including a sweat shirt tied around his waist to conceal a wooden club he carries in anticipation of someone attacking him on skid row. But he is meticulously neat to the extent possible, and he moves with polite bearing that suggests formality and respect.
He tuned his violin for several minutes, reacted somewhat nervously to a warm round of applause upon being introduced, and began to play.
I've heard better, more passionate playing from Nathaniel. He seemed tentative and at times turned away from the room, as if he was too uncomfortable with his own performance to face his audience. Performing here in this setting, with people focused on him rather than walking or driving past, must have been both thrilling and terrifying.
He began with something Beethoven-like, as he had planned, but seemed to lose the thread. Nathaniel is inspired and haunted by music and his history with it -- a history scrambled, interrupted, incomplete. More than once, he apologized to the audience.
I could only wonder at what was going through the mind of this man, who 30-plus years ago studied bass in New York City as a young phenom from Cleveland. I've talked to his friends of that time -- people who saw great promise unravel as Nathaniel's mind began playing tricks on him and the music he revered seemed ever more elusive.
After switching to cello at Little Pedro's, Nathaniel was still a bit disorganized but much more comfortable, and there were moments when both his music and his expression -- head thrown back in pained delight -- were things of beauty.
Dr. Shaner later called it tragic that Nathaniel, or anyone who is chronically mentally ill, is left to live on dangerous streets. The civil rights concerns that led policymakers to empty the state's mental hospitals over the last three decades were well-intentioned, but the move helped create today's problem. Society has failed to deal with the stigma and destructive reality of mental illness.
"I'd like to seduce him into treatment, and he needs seduction," said Dr. Prchal. She said it wouldn't be easy -- Nathaniel needs medication as well as counseling on how to pull his life together. But there is greater success with those who -- like Nathaniel -- have no addiction problems, Prchal said.
"People with his IQ, tremendous ambition and achievement don't like to be ordered around. But this man has to be treated. I will try to meet with him and slowly start some dialogue about the possibility of treatment, and slowly also see if he would want to have his own room, maybe if only to store his instruments at first."
When I spoke to Nathaniel after his performance, he bowed his head and apologized.
"I was really, really bad in there," he said.
I encouraged him and handed him the tips that had been left. He said he wasn't worthy, but I folded the money into his hand and asked if he'd return the following Tuesday, an offer Pedro's owner Alexis Rivera is happy to extend.
"If they're interested in having me back," Nathaniel said, "I'll be here."

German Pirate Party Scores Another Electoral Victory: Gets 4 Seats In State Parliament
from the german-pirates dept
It's also important to note that the campaign in this case didn't focus on copyright issues (even with ACTA still being a hot topic in Germany). Instead the campaign focused on "transparent government, access to education as a prerequisite, and the right of the people to actively partake in the decision making process." If the Pirate Party is actually going to grow, I think it's important for it to do much more to highlight its position on these kinds of issues, so it's good that this resonated. I've said in the past -- and I know plenty of people disagree with me -- that I think the Pirate Party's name, while good for getting it initial attention, has the potential to limit its effectiveness and appeal in the longterm, in part because I didn't think people would take its other policy issues (which have always been a part of the Party's efforts) seriously. However, if they worked here, that's surprising, but encouraging.

"If there's ever been an operating system that could use some slimming down, it's Windows Vista. Enter vLite, a donation-supported software tool by Dino Nuhagic that lets you create a Vista installation DVD that leaves out drivers and programs you don't want, installs Vista so that it begins with settings and options that you do want, and lets you install Vista without responding to any prompts. It does this by automating procedures that are thoroughly documented by Microsoft , but which normally require hours of work modifying installation files by hand. I used vLite to create a slimmed-down automated Vista installation DVD that let me get a new system up and running faster and more efficiently than the DVD that I bought from Microsoft. As long as you make these changes only to your own copy of Vista, and you don't distribute the resulting DVD, this seems to be a perfectly legal way of automating changes that Microsoft supports anyway."

"It's taken longer than expected but it has finally happened: unsigned desktop applications run on Windows RT. Ironically, a vulnerability in the Windows kernel that has existed for some time and got ported to ARM just like the rest of Windows made this possible. MSFT's artificial incompatibility does not work because Windows RT is not in any way reduced in functionality. It's a clean port, and a good one. But deep in the kernel, in a hashed and signed data section protected by UEFI's Secure Boot, lies a byte that represents the minimum signing level." Good stuff. Very good stuff.

RE[7]: Seems like a lot of work
by Nelson on Mon 7th Jan 2013 17:59 UTC in reply to "RE[6]: Seems like a lot of work"
Its a reality to expect to have to take such measures because Win32 moving forward is of limited strategic importance to Microsoft, as such, it is unlikely that they relent on their position.
So if a company *really* wants to run their full fledged Desktop app on Windows RT, this is the only avenue they have.
Not that its a good solution. Its much better to just sideload a Windows Store app without restrictions (as I've mentioned in one of my comments below) because you get integration with the new lifetime process manager for free.

6 Muslims charged with murder for alleged role in sectarian violence in Myanmar
YANGON, Myanmar – A court in Myanmar has charged six Muslims with murder for their alleged role in an outbreak of sectarian violence that shook the country in March, authorities said Tuesday, as a rights group raised concern over a judicial system that has so far failed to prosecute Buddhists who brutally hunted Muslims down in the streets and torched whole neighborhoods.
The charges issued Monday are the latest legal action against minority Muslims in the central city of Meikthila, one of several recent flashpoints for anti-Muslim violence that the New York-based group Human Rights Watch said included an organized campaign of "ethnic cleansing" in the Buddhist nation.
At least 43 people were killed and 12,000 displaced during several days of unrest in Meikhtila, which descended into anarchy as Buddhist mobs rampaged through the town and police stood idly by. Most of the victims were Muslim. Since then, authorities have detained 50 people, including members of both religious groups, but so far no Buddhists have been formally charged with serious crimes.
Containing the violence has posed a serious challenge to President Thein Sein's reformist government as it attempts to institute political and economic liberalization after nearly half a century of harsh military rule. It has also tarnished the image of opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi, who has been criticized for failing to speak out strongly in defense of the country's embattled Muslim community.
All six Muslim men charged Monday face possible death penalties for allegedly killing a Buddhist monk, Advocate-General Ye Aung Myint said. He told The Associated Press that police on Monday also opened a case against 15 people — including two Muslims — for the more minor crimes of robbery and looting during the unrest.
The March violence started after a dispute between a Muslim gold shop owner and several Buddhist customers triggered a wave of anti-Muslim violence across the city that left entire Muslim neighborhoods in flames and charred bodies piled in the roads. The government declared a state of emergency and deployed the army to restore order.
The gold shop owner and two employees, all Muslims, were sentenced by the same court in April to 14 years in prison on charges of theft and causing grievous bodily harm.
Human Rights Watch said it was seriously concerned about a "lack of accountability for crimes committed against Muslim communities."
"The authorities need to demonstrate that investigations and prosecutions aren't discriminatory and are in line with international standards, but they aren't doing that," said Matthew Smith, a researcher for the group. "What we are seeing in Meikhtila is consistent with what we are seeing elsewhere in the country — a failure to bring perpetrators to account."
Among those killed in the riots was a Buddhist monk who was reportedly pulled off his motorbike, attacked and burned. The six men accused of attacking him were part of a larger group, and authorities are searching for four more men, Ye Aung Myint said.
The sectarian violence in Myanmar first flared nearly a year ago in western Rakhine state between the region's Rakhine Buddhists and Muslim Rohingya. Mobs of Buddhists armed with machetes razed thousands of Muslim homes, leaving hundreds dead and forcing 125,000 people to flee, mostly Muslims.
Human Rights Watch has accused authorities — including Buddhist monks, local politicians, government officials, and state security forces — of fomenting an organized campaign of "ethnic cleansing" against the Muslims in Rakhine state. The government has denied the charges.
The Rohingya living in Rakhine state are widely seen as foreign intruders from neighboring Bangladesh, and are largely denied citizenship even though many have lived in Myanmar for generations.
Since the Rakhine violence, religious unrest has morphed into a campaign against the country's Muslim community in other regions. The latest violence flared last week when several Muslim villages north of Yangon were burned to the ground.
Thein Sein vowed Monday that his government would do everything it can to protect the rights of minority Muslims.
In a speech broadcast on state television, Thein Sein said his "government will take all necessary action to ensure the basic human rights of Muslims in Rakhine state, and to accommodate the needs and expectations of the Rakhine people."
"In order for religious freedom to prevail, there must be tolerance and mutual respect among the members of different faiths," he said. Only then, he added, "will it be possible to coexist peacefully."
Associated Press writer Todd Pitman in Bangkok contributed to this report.

Selective mutism is a condition in which a child who can speak stops speaking, usually in school or social settings.
Selective mutism is most common in children under age 5. The cause, or causes, are unknown. Most experts believe that children with the condition inherit a tendency to be anxious and inhibited. Most children with selective mutism have some form of extreme social fear (
Parents often think that the child is choosing not to speak, but usually the child is truly unable to speak in certain settings.
Some affected children have a family history of selective mutism, extreme shyness, or anxiety disorders, which may increase their risk for similar problems.
This syndrome is not the same as mutism. In selective mutism, the child can understand and speak, but is unable to speak in certain settings or environments. Children with mutism never speak.
- Ability to speak at home with family
- Fear or anxiety around people they do not know well
- Inability to speak in certain social situations
- Shyness
This pattern must be seen for at least 1 month to be selective mutism. (The first month of school does not count, because shyness is common during this period.)
Exams and Tests
There is no test for selective mutism. Diagnosis is based on the persons history of symptoms.
Teachers and counselors should consider cultural issues, such as recently moving to a new country and speaking another language. Children who are uncomfortable with a new language may not want to use it outside of a familiar setting. This is not selective mutism.
The persons history of mutism should also be considered. People who have been through trauma may show some of the same symptoms seen in selective mutism.
Treating selective mutism involves behavior changes. The childs family and school should participate. Certain medications that treat anxiety and social phobia have been used safely and successfully.
Support Groups
For more information and resources, see
Outlook (Prognosis)
Children with this syndrome can have different outcomes. Some may need to continue therapy for shyness and social anxiety into the teenage years, and possibly into adulthood.
Possible Complications
Selective mutism can affect the childs ability to function in school or social settings. Without treatment, symptoms may get worse.
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Call your health care provider if your child has symptoms of selective mutism, and it is affecting school and social activities.

News from the world of Maths
This summer the Royal Institution is running a series of workshops as part of its Engineering Week where you will have a chance to try your hand at engineering and discover it is rocket science, underwater robotics, hip joint design, crash testing and much more!
The UK has won two gold, one silver and two bronze medals at this year's International Mathematical Olympiad! and 1 Honourable Mention. The team came 17th out of 101 participating countries, and also received one honourable mention. It has been fifteen years since the UK team was last awarded two gold medals.
In our Science fiction, science fact project you told us that you'd like to know what time is. So we've gone and talked to an expert — Paul Davies — and we'll publish his response shortly. Meanwhile, we're opening our poll for the second round, to see which question you'd like to have answered next. So get voting!
Has your school been using our sister site Maths and Sport: Countdown to the Games as a learning resource? If yes, your commitment could earn you a reward from London 2012.
Mathematics is the language of the sciences, and the 2011 British Science Festival will be speaking volumes about how exciting maths can be. From events exploring the impact of maths on ground breaking scientific ideas to the role of statistics in professional sports, there's enough to bring out the mathlete in everyone.
he Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh will visit Bletchley Park today to unveil a memorial to the codebreakers who played a vital role in the second world war. To celebrate their visit the Queen has challenged UK children aged between 13 and 16 to crack six secret messages.
What's a particular piece of mathematics good for? It can take decades, or even centuries for an answer to this question to materialise. In today's climate, in which scientific research is increasingly judged according to its impact, this can pose a problem for pure mathematics. Now a collection of examples of mathematical ideas that have found applications long after their discovery has been published in the journal Nature.
Sometimes people are nasty when it would have been better to be nice.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Flygirltasha from Bad investment The dress fit great but I was only able to wear it once because, as per instructions, not one dry cleaner would clean the item. They all (I went to four) said the black fabric would bleed on the white fabric. Extremely disappointed.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Jsio from Can't clean properly!! I agree with that last review...I got this dress wore it and it was cute on! Was a little lose at the bottom like the other reviewer stated! And then I took it to get it clean..which the instructions state.. Took it to three dry cleaners and they all said the same think! It can't be clean cause the black leatherette will c bleed into the rest of the dress.... Very disappointing.. This was a one time wear dress what a waist of money!!!

Rated 1 out of 5 by Maria23 from The WORST quality I could imagine!!! Especially from bebe!!! I bought this dress online and it fitted perfectly on me. The label indicates hand wash only. So I washed it on hands, but the die from the black "leather" part, which sooooo far from leather colored the white part with darkish traces. Long story short I had to throw an absolutely new dress!!!!! I couldn't return it as I used it and those black spots were horrible. Did not know bebe can sell such a poor quality stuff!!! VERY DISAPPOINTED!!!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by NYanonymous from Sexy Fit I think this is a great dress. Of course everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but I had a different experience with this dress - I tried it on and purchased it in a Bebe store under the harsh store dressing room lighting and didn't notice any panty peek through the white fabric after heavily scrutinizing the fit of the dress in both my normal dress size and one size smaller. The fabric is not a heavy winter weight white fabric, but I thought it was a thicker, quality white fabric appropriate for spring and summer without being cheap or too thin. I don't think that a slip has to be worn with the dress to prevent it being see through as long as the right color undergarments are chosen (white or nude) with it. The full zip front made the dress provide a sexy, figure hugging contour without being too tight. I ended up purchasing the larger of the two sizes I tried so I could have the option to wear it to work, even though the stylist in th store thought the smaller size looked better and showed my figure off more.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Delia2013 from The perfect dress I went to the store because want to try a different white dress, but a manager show it and was perfect. Nothing wrong. My best advice if you don't like wasting your time, ask your BB associates "show me the ones look good" and you will be surprise.
Date published: 2013-04-04
Rated 5 out of 5 by VIKINGGODDESS from Feminine & Classy Perfect fit for my figure & taste. It's not super tight on my hips which makes it comfortable and nicely flows on my slender curves. So far my underwear is not showing.
Date published: 2013-03-26
Rated 3 out of 5 by SewerGal1 from Too see-thru Tried this on in the store and the dress fit nicely, however as the other reviewer stated, the bottom half is very see-thru even tho the dress has a built-in lining. An additional slip would more than likely be needed to wear this dress, which probably wouldn't look very good.

Talking of the innovation Mr. Manish Khandelwal, Business Head, Personal Protection at MKU elaborated, "Today soldiers in combat zones face problems due to heavy loads of equipment they carry and body armour contributes largely to this load, keeping their load carrying capacities and combat zone operability & ease we at MKU have developed an extremely light weight Armor insert for protection against Rifle ammunitions which amazingly weighs in 1 Kg only." Further speaking he said, "It did take us quite a bit of extensive research and a detailed study on practical problems which soldiers face in the combat zones. These unique 1 Kg Armor inserts are a very innovative armor solution which enhances the effectiveness and efficiency of a soldier apart from protecting against Rifle threats. Due to their light weight, and application ease of inserting and & removing it."
MKU always keeps on developing new and innovative Armor protection solutions to enhance the comfort of soldiers, as it understands that Combat operations sometimes take longer than expected and carrying extra armor for long durations becomes very cumbersome.

Like father, like son?
There were plenty of reasons I went to see The Wallflowers last Friday. I mean, just get a copy of "Bringing Down the Horse," and turn it up. For me, that one's worth the price of admission right there. It's a great album, and since I recently tracked down 3 or 4 more CDs, it was time for me to go check these guys out.
I guess it was serendipitous that this show fell close to Father's Day – and what a cool way to acknowledge the fact that the lead singer of The Wallflowers has an unbelievably big name in the music business for a father.
One really cool thing that I kept noticing throughout the show was that before some of the songs started, he would step back, turn around and tune his guitar. I kept looking at that shadowy outline, and it just seemed like I was looking at something inherently familiar.
And then he'd step up to the mic, a brown fedora hat tilted on his head, and he'd close his eyes to sing – the resemblance was unmistakable.
It was just like looking at his dad, and for the life of me, I couldn't get that image of out of my mind.

You say you don't believe in destiny but that you believe in character. What do you mean by that?
|John McCain recites the 23rd Psalm
You're obviously talking about many different traits in the book. Which trait do you feel is most important?
I think the most important trait is to stick to your ideals. Don't ever waver from them. All the rest is fairly easy after that.
Do you feel that we all have the potential to become people of good character?
We all have the potential. It all depends on the choices we make. I believe the influences that young people receive today sometimes are not always the best.
The subtitle of your book gave me the impression that maybe you felt young people today don't know who true heroes are.
|John McCain on talking to God
Almost all of the people you list as your heroes are dead. Why is this?
|John McCain on intelligent design
Which Americans today do you find as exemplifying good character whom you didn't include in the book?
I think there are many. Off the top of my head-Rudy Giuliani is one, and all those police and firepeople-first responders-who reacted so bravely during and after 9/11.
Why would you say Rudy Giuliani has good character?
Because in a time of terrible crisis he displayed the leadership and inspirational qualities that provided comfort and encouragement, not only the people of New York, but to the people of this country.
[Other exemplary Americans include:] my friend Max Cleland who lost three limbs in the Vietnam War and still continues to contribute. Bob Kerrey, who was a governor, a senator, and now president of a college in New York [The New School University]. A big guy by the name of General Jack Vessey who is still alive who fought in four wars and was chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. A guy who I have really gotten to admire because of his character and accomplishments is [former hockey star] Wayne Gretzky. [He's a] modest man from humble beginnings who attains fame and fortune. He has a wonderful family and is now coaching the Phoenix Coyotes. He's a great role model, but maybe that has to do with the fact I was a mediocre high school athlete and admire athletes so much.
He recently passed away, but I thought Pope John Paul II was an inspirational leader because of his role in the downfall of the Soviet Union. I'm sure I could think of many more.
Which politicians in Washington do you feel exhibit good character?
[Connecticut senator] Joe Lieberman, [New Hampshire senator] John Sinunu, [Arkansas senator] Mark Pryor, [South Carolina senator] Lindsey Graham. Most of the men and women I serve with are of good character.
What about President Bush?
Oh yeah. I think he's a very fine man, a very decent man.
What do you feel is his most inspiring characteristic?
Probably his core beliefs and convictions, which are unshakable.
In the chapter on your experience as a POW in Vietnam, you say that you needed two things in order to survive-hate and faith. How were you able to balance this as a Christian?
I think that it's important to maintaining your strength to dislike people that are doing bad things, not only to you, but to your comrades. And that gives you a certain amount of strength. And at the same time, I think afterward you can love your enemy.
When you lose your dignity, you become less human...

CAMBRIDGE, Mass.—UMBC freshman goalkeeper Lauren Kadet (Oakville, Ontario/St. Thomas Aquinas) was named America East Rookie of the Week for the week ending Sept. 26, the conference announced Monday.
Kadet posted her first career shutout in UMBC's 2-0 win at Vermont in the America East opener on Sunday, making eight saves between the pipes in her first career victory, which snapped the Retrievers' eight-game winless streak. It was the first shutout by a Retriever freshman since Catie Bukowski blanked Albany on Oct. 9, 2005, and the first shutout for UMBC since a 1-0 win over Hartford on Oct. 11, 2009. Earlier in the week, she stopped five shots in a 2-1 overtime loss at Loyola.
Kadet finished the week with a 0.99 goals-against average, an .867 save percentage and 13 saves. She leads the America East with 6.89 saves per game and ranks third with an .805 save percentage.
Kadet is the second Retriever to be named Rookie of the Week this season, as forward Amy Savage (Ottawa, Ontario/Sir Wilfrid Laurier) garnered the honor on Sept. 13, marking the first time that two Retrievers have earned the award since Ashley Singer and Morgan Warrington in 2007. In addition, senior midfielder Sandra Vacarino (Mantua, N.J./Clearview Regional) was tabbed the conference's Player of the Week on Aug. 30, marking the first time that three Retrievers have been honored with America East weekly women's soccer awards since 2003, UMBC's first year in the conference, when Lori Quintavalle earned a Player of the Week nod and Amanda DiCarlo and Christie Sikorski were both named Rookies of the Week.
Kadet and the Retrievers return home on Thursday to host defending America East champion Boston University at 4 p.m.

Trying to compile a very simple test app using GLEW, I'm getting unresolved externals trying. I've simplified it to the following:
Code :#include <GL/glew.h> #include <GL/glut.h> void render() { glClear( GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT ); glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW); glLoadIdentity(); glutSwapBuffers(); } int main ( int argc, char **argv ) { glutInit( &argc, argv ); glutInitWindowSize( 500, 500 ); glutInitWindowPosition( 100, 100 ); glutCreateWindow( "GLEW Compile Test" ); glutInitDisplayMode(GLUT_RGBA | GLUT_DOUBLE); glutDisplayFunc(render); glewInit(); glutMainLoop(); return 0; }
Compiling this linking against glut32.lib and glew32.lib gives me:
I ran a dumpbin.exe /EXPORTS of glew32.lib and glewInit is there, so I have no idea why it's having problems. I tell you, I've NEVER had as much problem compiling code as I have since I started working in Visual Studio. I can't track down what could possibly be causing this.1>Linking...
