"The Isle" is a first person adventure puzzle game. In the game, the players can copy the object in the environment, and spawn up to two clones at the same time, to solve the puzzles. It tells a story about game plagiarism. Now it has a demo version with 4 levels.
First person, adventure, puzzle
Individual Project
Unity,Cinema 4D
Feb.2015 – May.2015
This is a project for Master Thesis. My motivation is that I wanna create a game revealing the game plagiarism and copycat. It tells a story that you are an AI created by a game designer called "Anwir". He desires to learn from a great game called "The Isle", so as to create his own game. You will help him explore the source code of "The Isle", and collect the "Source Box", which contains the core information for building the game. Gradually, Anwir, the designer, changes his mind. He wanna occupy all those "Source Box" to make a clone of "The Isle", and gain profit. In the end, he made it, and lock you inside to delete your program. But you finally escape to the out world, but find the copy of "The Isle" is everywhere.
The graphic design has referenced from Portal, but the mechanic is quite different. From the term "copy", I generated the mechanic of "copy & paste". Players can copy most object in the game, and create up to two clones contemporarily. Another advanced mechanic is that players can connect the clones and their source to synchronize their movement. Different object has their own features that can be used to solve the puzzle. For example, the fan can blow the object forward. As players dive deeper into the game, the level will become more difficult with more complex combination of different objects.

The refund one would get will depend on the marginal tax rate of that person. But it is not a simple answer as the marginal tax rate will go down when your income less. Therefore you may get less refund.
Here is a calculator by Ernest & Young that can calculate the RRSP refund (please note this is an approximate number).
If you need actual number you need to do the tax return for both scenarios (without RRSP contribution and with RRSP contribution)
Please note the deadline for RRSP contribution for 2012 is March 1st 2013.

ANYWAY, that's who we decided to dress up as for our family theme trunk or treat costumes this year. We decided sometime in August or September I think, but it was a busy time (as it always is, amirite?). I put off and put off and put off figuring out those costumes. When there was less than a week to go I went though each of our characters and made a detailed list of what I would need to make/buy/find. It was a lot and I wasn't feeling optimistic. It was the Sunday before the trunk or treat Wednesday when I leveled with the kids. I told them I didn't think I'd have time to get our costumes done and we might need to make a last minute change to something more simple. They were understanding, and agreed we could try for Avatar again next year.
But then.
In morning prayers Monday, Afton prayed, "that we would be able to pull off our Avatar costumes."
Well, that'll do it. With new resolve I took my list to Goodwill that day, and I sincerely believe in direct answer to Afton's prayer I found every single obscure thing I needed there.
Tuesday evening Afton prayed over our dinner and added in, "And please bless that we'll be able to pull off really great Avatar costumes." And I was all like, "'Really great'? Simmer down, sister."
Wednesday I spent all day cutting felt, hot gluing things together, referring to pictures online, adding details, and ... I pulled off our Avatar costumes. I don't know if I'd call them really great, but I'm thankful for the example of Afton's faith.

Sokka was too busy talking to get an individual shot of him. I'm just glad he's willing to dress up every year.

StarNews sports department intern Galen Andress, who does some of his own blogging on the side about the Redskins in his free time, caught up with Wilmington resident Benton Miller, who had a sudden change of plans for this week — like South Beach. Rough life.
For 26-year-old Benton Miller, a full-time student who works a part-time job and takes on an internship at a local newspaper, a vacation couldn't have come soon enough. And as a member of U.S. Cellular's fan page on Facebook, he was able to enter a contest for and all-expenses-paid trip for two to the Pro Bowl.
"I just happened to be on Facebook and I saw an ad for US Cellular fans to send a text message saying 'PB' to one of those five-digit numbers," Miller Said. "It said the drawing was on January 8th, and they called me about four hours after the drawing and told me I had won."
Miller was one of two winners nation-wide for U.S. Cellular's online and text-message based campaign to give away two six-day, five-night getaways to South Florida. The trip includes hotel and airfare for two, as well as passes to a pre-game party and transportation to and from the event.
Miller will be taking his mother, Andrea Moon, along on the trip, and plans to pass the time before the event on the sunny beaches of South Florida.
"I work for the Fisherman's Post, a fishing newspaper here in Wilmington, so I definitely want to do some fishing while I'm down there," Miller said.

Montgomerie Looks To Write Another Ryder Cup Chapter
Steven Franklin, Press Officer
24 September 2006
European talisman Colin Montgomerie gets the final day singles under way at The K Club with a repeat of his famous match with David Toms two years ago.
On that magical afternoon at Oakland Hills, Montgomerie holed from four feet on the 18th green to beat former Major champion Toms by a hole and secure the winning point for the European Team.
The pair will lock horns again today - this time in the first match out at 11.15am – and each of them will be keen to make an early statement of intent to inspire those who will follow.
Next on to the first tee is another European who undoubtedly thrives on the uniquely passionate atmosphere of The Ryder Cup, Sergio Garcia. The thrusting young Spaniard was a thorn in the Americans side over the first two days, winning all four of his matches.
If he can manage to overcome Stewart Cink in the 11.27am match, Garcia will go down in history as the first European player to win a five-point maximum under the present format of The Ryder Cup.
Cink, however, as proved to be a tough competitor and his return of one and a half points represents a quarter of the USA total from the first two days.
World Number One Tiger Woods and Number Three Jim Furyk, who between them have won two points so far, will lead the Star Stripes challenge in the fourth and third matches respectively.
Furyk has the task of trying to quell the undefeated Paul Casey, a three-time winner on The 2006 European Tour International Schedule and a man who is arguably in the best form of his career. Casey has already ensured that his performances this week will be remembered for a long time to come after yesterday's hole-in-hole at the Palmer Course's par three 14th, a shot that closed out a 5 & 4 foursomes win for Casey and David Howell against Cink and Zach Johnson.
Then, at 11.51am, European rookie Robert Karlsson will go head-to-head with Woods, who, unfortunately for the Swede, started to show signs of finding his 'A Game' in yesterday afternoon's foursomes win over Padraig Harrington and Paul McGinley.
Chad Campbell and Luke Donald will then reprise their singles match at Oakland Hills, which the American won 5 & 3.
The middle two matches, which could decide the destination of Samuel Ryder's trophy providing Europe bring in some early points, features a pair of local favourites in Irishmen Paul McGinley and Darren Clarke.
McGinley takes on rookie JJ Henry, who has been one of the Tom Lehman's star performers so far, while Clarke plays another debutant in Zach Johnson.
Padraig Harrington, the third Irishman in Ian Woosnam's team, will bring up the rear in the anchor match against Scott Verplank.
The other singles matches are as follows: 12.39pm Vaughn Taylor v Henrik Stenson; 12.51pm Brett Wetterich v David Howell; 13.03pm Phil Mickelson v José Maria Olazábal; 13.15pm Chris DiMarco v Lee Westwood; 13.27pm Scott Verplank v Padraig Harrington.

John Metcalfe
John Metcalfe was CityLab's Bay Area bureau chief, covering climate change and the science of cities.
That's what the citizens of Boulder have said to a giant piece of public art that's simply the word YES!, colored bright red and formatted in classic ALL-CAPS yelling style. The city chose the bold piece, designed by Miami-based R & R Studios, in a six month-long process that saw 367 artists vying for $150,000 in grant money. It would've adorned the outside of the main public library, where people walking in could guess at its meaning (long live English rock?) and folks looking out could wonder: !ƧƎY?
But this week, facing an onslaught of criticism, City Manager Jane Brautigam said the wheels of Boulder's bureaucracy had spun a little too quickly. At issue was an "interim public art policy" that many claimed had strangled public input. Said Brautigam in a statement:
"The selection committee properly followed the Interim Policy on Public Arts and did an excellent job identifying well-known artists to participate in this project," said Brautigam. "However, it is clear that the interim policy does not provide ample community input to ensure the selected art piece adequately reflects the Boulder community. We want to revisit how the city can create more robust public involvement in selecting public art projects before finalizing the selection."
That sounds like a totally reformatted Brautigam compared to the one who praised the shouty artwork in April:
"Yes! promises to be a memorable and delightful statement for the library," said City Manager Jane Brautigam. "Not only will this sculpture enliven the area around the newly renovated building, it will provide an amusing backdrop to gatherings, events, and play as the Civic Area is re-imagined. The iconic image of Yes! will be a must-see for visitors to Boulder, and a legacy to our growing collection of public art."
Between 100 and 150 people contacted the municipal government to denounce the piece, according to the Daily Camera, which has collected a few choice quotes from critics:
Retired teacher T Valladares said he was "appalled."
"Who wants to look at the back of a sign from inside a building that is designed to give a beautiful view of Boulder?" he said.
His wife, artist Maria Valladarez, said for that amount of money, the city could have gotten multiple works of art from local artists....
"There are pieces that many people can enjoy and that are still modern," she said. "It's supposed to be about pleasure and enjoyment. Even if the art in Boulder lags behind what is in New York, it should represent the people in Boulder."
The news site has also gathered a sampling of public reactions now that the project is on hold, summarized thusly: "Thrilled." "Wonderful." "Thank God."
For those who want to know more about this MAJOR AFFIRMATIVE, here's the full set of renderings from the Boulder Public Library. They're quite a 180-degree turn from some of the city's other public artworks, such as these shifty-looking coyotes and this lineup of cute robots:

Bike equity is a powerful tool for reducing inequality. Too often, cycling infrastructure is tailored only to wealthy white cyclists.
Infrastructure like this makes it clear why Germany continues to produce enthusiasm for public transit, generation after generation.
Lexipol, a private for-profit company, has quietly become one of the most powerful voices in American law enforcement policy.
California Governor Gavin Newsom's plan to complete only a Central Valley segment of the rail link risks turning the transportation project into an economic development tool.
NYC lawmakers who led a resistance campaign against HQ2 are declaring victory. And already, they have plans to escalate their opposition to tax incentives.

What book do you wish you were reading right now?
Where would you take it to, if you could go anywhere to read for a while?
I actually wish that I was reading just what I am reading currently... Elantris by Brandon Sanderson.
Granted, I'm reading a couple other books right now as well (Leviathan Wakes is very good!), but I can't think of anything else I'd rather be reading at the moment than what I am reading.
If I could be anywhere, I'd want to be sitting outside in a comfy chair under a shady tree with a glass of iced tea.
All I need is a chair... :D

A major power transition is under way in the United States, and the global economy is reeling from the ongoing financial crisis. So who knows what the future will bring? Perhaps South Korea's fortunetellers do. They held a conference this week in Seoul where, as VOA's Kurt Achin reports, many take traditional means of divining the future quite seriously.
A lot of people have questions about the future - things like whether the markets will go up or down, or whether there will be war or peace in some of the world's hot spots.
The answer could lie in the shape of a mountain landscape - or the shape of President-elect Barack Obama's face - or, in a 1,000-year-old Chinese chart of the planets' movements.
Those are just a few tools of the trade for fortune tellers here in South Korea. Lee Sang-hyun is one of several hundred who attended a fortune tellers' conference Friday in Seoul. He says he has been divining the future for 20 years, but the tradition is much older.
He says "Yuk Hak," the Korean style of Asian fortune telling, has influenced Korean habits and thought for more than 1,000 years.
Fortune telling is never far away in modern Seoul life. The city has dozens of fortune telling cafes, offering a glimpse of the future alongside your cappucino. Plastic tents, just large enough to fit a fortune teller and a customer or two, are a common sight on downtown sidewalks.
Lee says Korean fortune tellers choose from a variety of specialties.
He says there is "gung-hap," which is the art of matching personality types. Or "poong-su" - similar to the Chinese "feng shui" - for reading the landscape. There is the face reading art of "kwan-sang." Or, there is "saju" - the art of reading palms and studying the month, day, and hour you were born for clues of destiny.
Some of the fortune tellers at Friday's conference, not surprisingly, made predictions.
Choi Wan-young has spent 35 years practicing the "joo-yuk" - the study of basic elements like earth, fire, and water.
He says signs point to an improvement in relations between South Korea and the United States. Moreover, he says, a global financial recovery will start soon after February 4.
Bae Kum-san is the chairman of the Korean Fortuneteller's Commission. He has some good news, and some bad news, for North Korean leader Kim Jong Il.
He says Kim Jong Il, widely believed to be recovering from a stroke, will be fine until the year 2010. After that, says Bae, he will be "not so fine."
Fortune tellers like Bae have no shortage of clients. Koreans frequently consult them when they are getting married, moving residence, running for public office, or starting a new job. In fact, fortune telling was one of the few industries that truly thrived during the 1997 financial crisis here in South Korea.

Young Musician Prize 2012
Charlotte Barbour-Condini performed the Vivaldi Recorder Concerto. This was a fantastic -if unusual- performance. Barbour-Condini had incorporated cadenzas of her own which at times made the recorder sound not unlike a Japanese shakuhachi. The concerto movements themselves were played with a passion. I'm not up-to-date with current thinking on how music of that period should be played but I suspect it was not a performance for the purist. Not that I wanted it to be. She managed to make the piece into something people not otherwise into classical music might flock to listen to.
Yuanfan Yang gave an excellent account of the Grieg Piano Concerto. I think it is often the case that overplayed,"hackneyed" pieces start their lives as masterpieces and it is good sometimes to reclaim them, to try and listen to them as if they hadn't been played a million times before. However, I think he would have done himself a favour had he chosen a different work. If you want to let the world know that yours is a voice to be listened to then make the listener curious.
Which brings me on to Laura van der Heijden's winning performance of the Walton Cello Concerto. This was a very judicious choice of work, I thought. To use an overused word for the second time, it's a masterpiece of 20th century music and (unlike the Grieg) it doesn't get played enough. This wasn't just a winning performance - it was a masterly, illuminating one. Van der Heijden brought an insight to it I'd expect from an exceptional cellist twice her age (she's 15).
It's hard to imagine a better advert for classical music. The prize? £2,000. And in the week when Britain's got Talent is won by a dog. The prize? £500,000. OK, I'm not comparing like with like - the Walton is about enlightenment, while Pudsey's act is about entertainment. Both, in different ways, involve hard work.The point is I'd have given both prizewinners about £20,000 each and done a bit more to encourage viewers to turn on to Young Musician. BBC4 is a great thing. However, the space a preponderance of digital channels creates for coverage of the arts can also have the effect of sidelining the arts, as only those who know they want to watch a programme change channel and watch it.

I have to admit quite liking the dancing dog and I wish the two of them all the best but...
You're quite right, half a million against £2000 for a competition which unearths some of the real talent in the country seems ridiculous.
Thanks for posting this. Walton's cello concerto (infact most stuff from Walton - I've got his 2nd symphony somewhere and that's it) is completely new to me and I'm sure I can listen to Elgar's cello concerto whenever I want.

Let's hope that young cellist has a lifetime of glorious music-making ahead of her. Can't imagine the dancing dog act will be anything more than a passing - albeit adorable - fad.
I was hugely impressed by the apparent serenity with which Laura van der Heijden played.

I suspect if the BGT show had been recorded 300 years ago, Handel would have been writing the music for the dancing dog.

I'm with Argent on this (although resistant to the adorable factor).

Thanks for these comments, everyone.
Sandy: Of all the Walton I know, his cello concerto is my favourite.
RF: Dear old Blankety Blank. Perhaps YM should simply award a golden tuning fork. Only old plated, of course, in case anyone gets any ideas.
JW: It's well worth a watch.
Argent: Serenity, or icy composure. What I liked was the way she didn't let the music carry her away - while at the same time playing very expressively.
Alan: Haha! Spot on.
patteran: similarly resistant here.

Many thanks.
Greetings from London.

You have to admit... that's a pretty cute dog.
£2,000 is a ridiculous sum even when not compared to the dog show. How can we expect to produce artists of any note if they can't earn a living?
- 21 May 2012 at 03:24
- Rachel Fenton said...
Just lost my comment...I think it's unfair to compare the dog trainer (the dog didn't train itself) and the cellist - snobbish, too - but agree the prize for BGT was ridiculously high and the YMP too low. No need to be mean to anyone though.

Dominic I'm convinced the world is nuts and we are all barking mad! Last weekend there was a dog show in Salzburg involving the attendance of 19,000 dogs from far and wide, including (for example) Russia, according to a radio report.

Thanks for these comments.
Mean? I didn't intend to be. However, I've reread the post and changed it slightly. Any annoyance I felt was meant to be directed at the organisers of talent shows, (who often, in the earlier rounds, want people to laugh at incompetent acts) not the participants.

Without ozone holes world would be even hotter !
It was the models which included human factors that most closely matched the temperature profiles recorded at the poles. "For me, it can't be more clear that human activity is responsible," says Karpechko.
Ironically, the models found that warming would have been even more marked if the ozone layer which cuts out harmful solar radiation had not been depleted by the chlorofluorocarbon chemicals once used in aerosols.

The next time bomb: Debt insurance #!###!!
Economic growth will help prevent another financial time bomb--credit default swaps, a form of debt insurance--from exploding. The nominal amount peaked at $62 trillion and is now down to $55 trillion. Renewed prosperity will enable big companies to service their debts, thus nullifying the need to ever collect on the insurance. Most of these swaps will expire within five years.
Ironically: Phoenix is dying, will it ressurect from its ashes?
NASA'S Phoenix Mars Lander entered safe mode late yesterday in response to a low-power fault brought on by deteriorating weather conditions. While engineers anticipated that a fault could occur due to the diminishing power supply, the lander also unexpectedly switched to the "B" side of its redundant electronics and shut down one of its two batteries.

Bush foolish style GOP faces historical landslide electorial defeat !
Aides to George W.Bush, former Reagan White House staff and friends of John McCain have all told The Sunday Telegraph that they not only expect to lose on November 4, but also believe that Mr Obama is poised to win a crushing mandate.
They believe he will be powerful enough to remake the American political landscape with even more ease than Ronald Reagan did in 1980.

NOW Chips, Flat panel displays and solar cells drive global warming
Nitrogen trifluoride is one of several gases used during the manufacture of liquid crystal flat-panel displays, thin-film photovoltaic cells and microcircuits
Using new analytical techniques, a team led by Scripps geochemistry professor Ray Weiss made the first atmospheric measurements of nitrogen trifluoride (NF3), which is thousands of times more effective at warming the atmosphere than an equal mass of carbon dioxide.
The amount of the gas in the atmosphere, which could not be detected using previous techniques, had been estimated at less than 1,200 metric tons in 2006. The new research shows the actual amount was 4,200 metric tons. In 2008, about 5,400 metric tons of the gas was in the atmosphere, a quantity that is increasing at about 11 percent per year.
"This result reinforces the critical importance of basic research in determining the overall impact of the information technology industry on global climate change, which has already been estimated to be equal to that of the aviation industry," added Larry Smarr, director of the California Institute for Telecommunications at UCSD, who was not involved in the Scripps study.

Obama's lead on McCain grows to 12 points
"Obama's expansion is really across the board," pollster John Zogby said. "It seems to be among almost every demographic group."

Intel's Larabee is actually vector based supercomputer
Intel is seems again interested in supercomputing, though this time in a small scale, highly integrated chip version named Larabee. This seems appropriate for vector specific applications.

AMD's striking new 45nm dual core Regor
Intel issues financial warning #!
"As we look to the fourth quarter, it is hard to know what impact the financial crisis will have on end customer demand," he said.
How bad can it get?
""People expect the worst,"" said Doug Freedman of American Technology Research in San Francisco, speaking of Intel earnings, which are due on Tuesday and come against a backdrop of dismal economic news that has sent stocks down
Regarding stocks, Intel have lost a half of shares value, since this year beginning.
Seems like it faces perfect desert storm.
Add to that certain legal blow up from EU. Because time is out.
Intel has asked the European Union's second highest court for more time to respond to EU charges that it paid a retailer to favour PCs using its computer chips. The "statement of objections" the Commission filed in July was on top of charges in 2007 that Intel gave computer makers rebates to limit their use of AMD chips or avoid them altogether.

Cray's Kraken AMD based supercomputer cracks Petaflop limit
Kraken is a Cray XT5 system?. In its current configuration, Kraken has 48 cabinets, contating a total of 4512 compute nodes and 48 service nodes. Each compute node has 4 cores, for a total of 18048 compute cores.
Kraken runs Compute Node Linux (CNL) on each compute node. CNL is designed to minimize system overhead, thus allowing scalable low-latency global communication. Each of the compute nodes contain 2.3 GHz quad-core AMD Opteron processors and 4 GB of memory. The service nodes consist of a 2.3 GHz dual-core AMD Opteron processor with 8 GB of memory. Each node is connected to a Cray SeaStar router through HyperTransport, and the SeaStars are all interconnected in a 3-D-torus topology. The resulting interconnect has very high bandwidth, low latency, and extreme scalability.
EDIT: Cray XT5 is actually Jaguar system with 8 socket blades using quad core Opterons. I firmly believe that Jaguar uses AMD's new, not yet announced 45nm Deneb processors with 6MB L3 inside. That will surely push Kraken's 250 Tflops beyond Petaflops limit.

Over half the total UK armed forces has gone missing #!#
A computer hard drive with personal details of some 100,000 serving military personnel, over half the total armed forces, has gone missing, the British Ministry of Defence (MoD) said Friday.
Now, who is the moron of the highest category? Also on the portable hard drive was data on 600,000 potential applicants to the armed forces and the names of their referees, in the latest in a string of embarrassing data losses by the government in the past year.
BADHARDWARE verdict: Well, who cares, UK military , contrary to NASA has solid backups !

howard fineman, global editorial director of the huffington post, proclaimed trump's performance to be the worst he'd ever seen, and while many will point out that hp isn't exactly an unbiased source, fineman has seen some things in the political sphere. but there's no need to take his word for it, because there has been no shortage in the last few days of republicans heading to america's national news stations to publicly headdesk.
there are lots of reasons why trump's performance could be said to be objectively terrible: he was unable to string together answers on fairly basic questions about cyber-security and nuclear armaments; many of his answers were so grammatically tortured that they bordered on word salad [something that journalists and comedians alike have skewered by reading his quotes verbatim]; he seemed to take perverse pride in the idea that he might not have paid taxes; he repeatedly made assertions about his past behaviour that were so easy to debunk one wonders if he was even conscious of what he was saying [or, as dom put it, "does he know how recording works?"]; and in one glorious trainwreck-within-trainwreck moment, he seemed to be claiming that he had done barack obama and black people in america a favour by being the public face of the birther movement.
what's truly shocking is that, if anything, trump's reaction to the debate fallout has been even worse. from doubling down on some pretty vile insults about a former miss universe [the sort of comments that will alienate college-educated, white-collar women, the group that he absolutely must win over in key states like pennsylvania] to complaining that his mic wasn't working, despite the fact that more than 80 million people heard him loud and clear to painting himself as noble for not using bill clinton's infidelities to bait hillary.
in a way, trump may have done himself a favour by calling in to fox news to defend his questionable honour in the case of the former miss universe, because talk of his always-hovering sexism has been diverted to her and away from another fact that was floating around quite a bit in the immediate aftermath of the debate: trump interrupted secretary clinton more than fifty times during the debate. this is a man with no political experience [aside from the birther movement], who faces a serious deficit with women voters, and yet he still couldn't stop from shouting over her [often just to deny he'd said or done something, so that the rest of us could check on how many nanoseconds elapsed before someone had their hands on the proof he was lying], or from implying that he was a gentleman because he didn't bring up her husband's infidelities. so great was his confidence and so profound his disrespect for the person he was debating that he didn't even bother preparing to debate her.
she, on the other hand, spent days preparing to debate him. she ran through scenarios, did mock debates, crammed her head so full of facts that she could probably have talked for the entire 90 minutes herself without slowing down, even brought in a psychological profiler to help come up with tactics. [oh, how everyone laughed when they heard that. and oh, how little they are laughing now. the reason why clinton was so particularly devastating against trump was that she simply knew how to push his proverbial buttons. that's one of the uses of psychology people don't talk about very often.]
during the debate, during his rambling, lying responses, during the half-century of interruptions, the former secretary of state retained a kind of calm that would draw applause from a devout yogi. i got convinced that she was able to induce a sort of self-hypnosis by focusing entirely on her own blinking, because there is no way that a woman that smart and that experienced would have been able to stomach the thought of this orange buffoon being her equal. she smiled fairly often [for which she was criticized by bush speechwriter david frum, the guy who invented the phrase "axis of evil" to goad people into supporting a war in iraq, as opposed to in an earlier town hall event where she was criticized by republican national chairman reince priebus for not smiling enough]. she didn't roll her eyes like al gore, or get impatient with his ignorance like barack obama did with mitt romney, or make faces and interject the way that trump was doing to her.
and some of those who have commented on the debate have noted that she handled herself that way not just because it was classy or calm, but because, if she'd handled herself any other way, she'd have been eaten alive. even telling trump that he lived in his own world was slipping dangerously close to "offensive" territory. as this piece notes, it's a situation that's all too familiar to a lot of women in the workplace. the standards are different for the ladies. no matter how much of a bully, how much of an ignoramus, or how much of a liar you're up against, you can't really fight back. you have to demure and nod and go about things politely, in ways that men just don't. and then, a lot of the time, you get to have people like donald trump equate that sort of behaviour with weakness, with being "a loser". what is trump's bizarre fixation with hillary clinton's health and stamina if not a desperate attempt to paint her as frail and ineffective in comparison with his boisterousness? and yet she's criticized for shouting if she raises her voice at a rally.
the fact that trump felt that hillary clinton was unkind to him, that he'd done her a favour by not using her husband's philandering to build his case against her, is indicative, more than anything, of the fact that he is incapable seeing the double standard that is applied. she hit him repeatedly with actual statements that he'd made. she engaged in some speculation about his reasons for not releasing his tax returns. and we're supposed to believe that the proper response to this is to do whatever it takes to humiliate and hurt this woman. that's fair game.
trump hasn't exactly shied away from taking personal shots at his male rivals, but not one of them was ever expected to stand there and just take the abuse. when he has gone after the wives of his opponents [most notably heidi cruz], the media has made no secret of its disgust. but i don't hear any of that disgust now. because hillary is a candidate, not a political wife, everything is fair game. sure, there are voices that say bringing bill clinton's affairs into the debates could backfire as a strategy [and remember, trump literally tried to bring one of the women with whom bill clinton had an affair as a guest to the debate on monday]. but there aren't any media voices that are digging in and looking at what these threats say about the mindset of the candidate and, one presumes, the people running his campaign.
well, there is one voice.
i realise that not everyone enjoys msnbc's monday- thursday "irish block" of evening programming. i do. i know that their focus is narrow, i know that they are part of the mainstream media and i know that they are beholden to corporate owners. but in an age where news is about splashy visuals and breaking news, i like the fact that the hosts are generally allowed to go at their own pace, have their own personalities and to speak without getting hung up on moving to the next segment.
last night, laurence o'donnell, who hosts their 10-11 show "the last word" opened his show with what was expected to be a 6-7 minute monologue. it ended up running nearly 20 minutes, but i'm guessing that not a lot of people noticed until it was over. he's an engaging speaker, to be sure [and a good writer- he worked on the first few seasons of the west wing] and his charming, lightly humorous interpretation of hillary vs donald as the class president vs the class clown is easy to listen to. and then the monologue took a turn, one that left me feeling like i'd been punched in the chest. that's all i'm going to say about it, because i hope that you'll take the time to watch it. view video. [i apologise, but i could not get the embed function to work and it's two in the morning.]
and there, my friends, is the rotten core behind the orange hide and behind many of the faces who support him. the debates and the campaign will continue to unfold and, if trump gets desperate, there's no telling what he'll become willing to do. but rest assured that, whatever he does, whatever he's allowed to get away with, it will be predicated on that one idea.
p.s. :: i shied away from posting both the o'donnell video and the linked article above earlier on my personal facebook page, because every time i post something with a feminist lean on either facebook or twitter, it amounts to chumming the waters. i don't get that sort of reaction for other political posts, but pretty much every post about women unleashes an epic shit-storm. it's not that there are a lot of people who respond with vitriol, but they tend to respond passionately and become enraged if i question them. instead, i posted something to the effect that i had intended to post something that was a little feminist, but didn't feel up to the torrent of rage it was likely to unleash, even if my only reaction was to delete the posts. a lot of people encouraged me to do so anyway, all of them people who've never made my life difficult in any way... so if you're reading this and you're one of the people who encouraged me, thank you very much.

Eidolon has arrived.
15 comments:
Absolutely amazing model. Defo my favourite non-primarch character model.ReplyDelete
Love it.
They are liking people standing on big robots aren't they?ReplyDelete
I like those techmarines, and Eidolon looks cool.ReplyDelete
This release makes me sad.. Got excited about the new Centurion and free shipping over £100, so i ordered a few days ago and it has been shipped.. But I want some techies!ReplyDelete
He is awesome! I like his helmet option too. Think I might try to convert a Palatine Blades squad to have jetpacks and more dynamic legs so that Eidolon can have some buddiesReplyDelete
I emailed FW the other day asking about them selling Palatine Blades with jump packs as they did with the destroyer squads. No reply so far, but fingers crossed. Perhaps if you are after getting them from FW more than one email may increase the chances of that happening.ReplyDelete
(sorry if this posts twice, seemed to disappear first go)Replies
You could get some sanguinary guard jump packs off of eBay.Delete
Would cost a lot less than buying another squad just for the jump packs.
Or he could buy a squad of assault marines and switch their backpacks around.. Voila! Palatine Blades with Jump packs and half - to a whole - unit of despoilers.. You can never have too many goons. ;)Delete
All nice ideas! I agree that getting jump packs online is a good call. Just legs then.. There does seem to be a paucity of dynamic legs out there! Are there any FW units with sexy running / landing legs you know of?Delete
Not Palatine sexy, sadly.Delete
But maybe they'd be cool enough with the legs they have already.. His pose does not suggest jumping, landing or running. I'm thinking their current legs would suit well.Delete
It's a small thing but I love that Eidolon has a bit of black on him, purple and black is one of my favourite colour duo's out there.ReplyDelete
I have zero respect for Eidolon and his rabble of filthy traitors, but I must admit, he has a kick ass modelReplyDelete
I dig that they managed to do the proto Noise Marine thing more subtly than Eidolon. He isn't one of those that mutated into the Kakophoni during the performance of the Maraviglia. It makes sense that his sonic weaponry has a more planned feel to it, worked into the aesthetics of his armor.ReplyDelete

Braising Pans & Steam Kettles Buyers' Guide
Steam kettles and braising pans allow you to cook large batches of food. These units are popular in large cafeterias and commissaries, where many gallons of soup or sauce are often cooked at once. The addition of a steam kettle or braising pan to your kitchen can help you streamline production by allowing you to cook larger batches at once and freeing up your range for cooking other items. Learn more about these helpful pieces of equipment to determine if your commercial kitchen will benefit from adding one or both of them.
Braising Pans
A braising pan, also known as a tilt skillet, is one of the most versatile pieces of equipment you can have in a commercial kitchen. It has the ability to braise, sauté, boil, fry, and simmer food. These skillets are powered by electricity, which is more energy-efficient, or gas, which heats faster.
Braising pans are available in a wide range of sizes, with countertop models starting at 10 gallons and the largest floor models holding as much as 40 gallons. To make distributing large amounts of food easier, each of these pans has a pouring spout and a tilting mechanism, which may be a lever, hand wheel, or electric motor.
Some tilt skillets will have a removable strainer in the pour spout to allow more flexibility in deciding what to dispense. For example, if you made soup and wanted to pull off some of the broth without losing any of the meat or vegetables, you could insert the strainer before opening the spout. Some models will also include a draw-off valve at the bottom of the pan for draining grease or liquids. The inside walls of the braising pan may have etched or embossed measurement markings to make adding the right amount of ingredients simple. Most tilt skillets come with lids, some of which will have a built-in adjustable vent to let you control the humidity in the pan.
Steam Kettles
Steam kettles use a steam-jacket design to heat the food inside the kettle. The jacketed design allows you to heat the food evenly with little supervision, with no hot spots scorching food. There are two options for creating the steam in the jacket:
- Self-contained kettles feature jackets that are factory-filled with distilled water. An electric element or gas burner heats the water into steam. Because no external boiler is needed, this type can be used in any kitchen with access to the required power source.
- Direct-steam kettles use steam from an external source to fill the jacket. This simpler design is more economical, but it can only be used in kitchens with external boilers or steam generators, and will require more maintenance than self-contained kettles. Some direct-steam units have an additional water connection for cold water, to help cool food quickly to meet temperature regulations.
Steam kettles come in sizes as small as 6 gallons, which are countertop units with a hand lever for tilting, or as large as 150-gallon capacity floor models, most of which have a hydraulic tilt mechanism to prevent injury to the operator.
To make dispensing food simple, steam kettles come with a pour spout, and most large models include a draw-off valve at the bottom of the kettle. Most models also include etched or embossed measurement markings inside the kettle to make adding ingredients simple.

Currently, more than 1200 buildings/houses (some partially) and 9000ha farmland are flooded. So far, 730 families from the district of Shkodra have been evacuated from the flooded areas. Many displaced families are sheltered in student dormitories provided by the Government. The rest of the displaced people are sheltered by friends and relatives. The Albanian Government foresees that in the coming days 3000 to 3500 additional families have to be evacuated. It has declared the ?state of civil emergency? and has established an Inter-Ministerial Committee.

I am grateful to be alive, as I had cancer 2 years ago at the age of 31. I have had 2 years of clean scans (they can't say I am in remission until 5 years out). And, this July (an early X-mas gift), we were blessed with our daughter, Savannah Rose. We were told we couldn't have kids from the treatment, but she is a miracle and the best Christmas gift.

Just a little heads up, and note to self – today is the Blue Beanie Day 2007 . A great way of preaching the way of the web standarista. The Blue Beanie Day is an event created by the Designing With Web Standards group on Facebook, a group so good almost worth joining Facebook for in itself.
Attending is easy, just snap a photo of yourself wearing a blue beanie. Or bluish headcover if you don't want to be picky. And upload it to the Flicker Blue Beanie Day 2007 Pool, and change your profilephotos and avatars on whatever and any other social network you are part of.

You could literally spend hours reading one blog post after another, one devotion or article after another, all by people who love the Lord and have something they want to impart. And that is a good thing.
We each have a different style and different approach and that is because God made all of us unique.
I want to write words that jump into your heart and are real.
I want you to know that I mean them. I am not just saying them.
There is a reason that I write what I write and say what I say.
I am in this too.
We are in this together.
This day to day battle for our hearts and minds in an ever increasingly evil world that needs the light of Jesus. (I don't enjoy writing these words but look around. Our world is getting darker, not lighter.)
We need to help each other be strong in our faith because we are the message carriers of the reason for our faith and that is Jesus.
I don't write about having a close relationship with God just because I want you to spend x amount of time praying or reading your Bible or having a sweet time of fellowship with the Lord. (Yes, all of these are vital to the health of our spiritual growth.)
I write about having a close relationship with God because that is what strengthens and prepares us and helps us endure the trials and battles we face.
The simple reason I write is because I want us to walk close with the Lord who is the source of our strength, on our good days and in our difficult times. When He is the source of our strength we will stand strong in our faith.
1 Corinthians 16:13 Watch, stand fast in the faith, be brave, be strong.

Any one have any suggestions for this – I shipped LTL 3 weeks ago and the amazon warehouse rejected it twice. the trucking company says they are rejecting everything right now because they are so busy – now I am out of inventory and loosing my sales rank – should I call the amazon warehouse?
- amazonse9 asked 3 years ago
they are forwarding my case on to someone else and will be back to me in 24-48 hours : / shipping LTL was so much cheeper and easier then taking all the cases to UPS individually but this has been such a headache
- gogold answered 3 years ago
I ship LTL all the time and never came across this problem! I hope it gets sorted out for you! I do know that LTL takes about a week longer to check in than shipping UPS.
- juango answered 3 years ago
I finally got an email that my inventory has been checked in and in receiving status – lesson learned – open a case right away – thanks for all the feedback

MRC fellowships are personal awards for talented researchers to support key transition points in their careers. Many of today's leading biomedical and health researchers look back on their MRC fellowship as a significant stepping stone in developing their career. We offer a range of fellowships to meet diverse needs, allowing training placements in the UK, abroad or in industry.
MRC Vision for Fellowship support:
- Individuals transitioning to the next level in their careers, normally through a change from an existing / current role
- Protected time to focus on your own research, shielded from other professional commitments. Clinical fellows may undertake clinical duties as part of their award
- Funding for a challenging research project and an ambitious programme of research training which offers accelerated personal and career development
- Progression towards fulfilling long term career goals, which includes an aspiration to strengthening the UK research base
- A clear commitment from the Research Organisation to supporting, developing and mentoring the fellow
Supporting key career stages
MRC has clarified the skills and experience required to be successful at a given career stage and recognises the transition to independence as a particularly critical step.
There are different routes to enable scientists to transition to independence. Find out more about how MRC supports this critical career stage.
Supporting Skills Development
The MRC has a leading role in identifying the skills required for future UK medical research and we have recently published revised MRC skill priorities which apply across all our support mechanisms.
In a sub-set of skill areas, there is a need to provide training for very early career researchers in, or individuals changing disciplines to, MRC priority areas. Skills development fellowships provide this training support.
Supporting clinical careers
Supporting non-clinical careers
Assessed by the Non-clinical Training and Career Development Panel
- Skills Development Fellowships (assessed by the Skills Panel)
- Career Development Award (CDA)
- Senior Non-Clinical Fellowship (SNCF)
Career re-entry
All MRC fellowships are open to individuals returning to research following a career break (PDF, 40KB).
In addition to our current fellowship schemes, the MRC sponsors at least two Daphne Jackson Fellows a year, aimed at people returning to research after a career break and offering an opportunity to re-establish scientific credentials whilst retraining and renewing skills to underpin their future career.
For full details and Fellows' stories, please refer to the Daphne Jackson Trust.

Brief Synopsis
In 1834, Squire Brown sends his eleven-year-old son Tom to live and study at the Rugby School, an English public school, warning Tom that he must maintain his honesty despite the school's challenges. Arriving by carriage, young Tom is met by East, a classmate who helps him fend off the other boys's badgering and insults. During the first week of class, one of the masters threatens Tom with a birching, claiming that, despite headmaster Dr. Arnold's attempts to reform the school of such brutality, beatings continue to be his own favorite form of punishment. Still feeling ostracized, Tom attends a soccer game at which a goal is about to cost East's team the game. Tom steps in as the goalie and saves the game, thereby winning popularity with his classmates. Later that night during supper, Tom is initiated by the other boys when they insist he sing a song while they pelt him with food. With encouragement from East, Tom sings every verse and the boys congratulate him. Later that evening, sadistic Flashman, son of a wealthy family, along with several other older students, decides to teach the younger boys a lesson in "obedience." Tearing Tom and East from their rooms, the bullies take each boy and use a blanket to toss him into the air. Despite the cruel treatment, Tom's classmates warn him not to "snitch" for fear of even worse repercussions. The next afternoon, when Tom refuses to carry Flashman's books, the older boy beats him mercilessly. Distressed by the students' tyranny, Tom seeks solitude in the church, where Arnold sees the boy's suffering. Slowly, Tom adjusts to school life and begins to enjoy his classmates' company, as they swim, play and fish on the grounds of the school. Later in the term, the students contribute money to a betting pool for a local horserace and then draw racehorse names from the lottery. When Tom draws a favorite, assuring him the chance of winning some money, Flashman tries to force him to relinquish the ticket. After Tom refuses, Flashman, Diggs and another boy "roast" Tom, holding him in front of the fireplace until he faints from the burns on his legs. Mrs. Wixey, the housekeeper, takes Tom to the sick room where Arnold tells him he knows the culprit is Flashman, but Tom refuses to confirm his suspicions. Arnold meets with the master teachers, warning them that once proof against the offender has been established, the student will be expelled. Later, the masters argue among themselves about the use of corporal punishment. The younger Judd ardently supports Arnold's reform, but the older masters insist on the use of the traditional methods. Later, Arnold orders Judd to apologize to the other masters and advises him that only through faith, not argument, will change occur. Over the summer vacation, Tom learns to box from his relatives so that he might return to school prepared to fight Flashman. The next school year, Arnold puts diminutive George Arthur in Tom's charge, explaining that he trusts Tom to help the vulnerable George adjust. Soon after, Flashman finds George in Tom's room and, pulling him by the ear, orders him to be his personal attendant. After Flashman leaves the room, Tom announces to the other boys that they are officially at war with Flashman. Tom then seeks help from Diggs, who has since regretted his participation in Tom's roasting. Diggs agrees to tell Flashman that George has already been assigned to him, then release George from any duty. Diggs offers Tom his cricket bat to use against Flashman. Soon after, Tom and East attack Flashman in Barnes Hall, and with a few well-practiced punches, Tom causes Flashman to fall and hit his head on a table's edge. The bully concedes defeat but warns Tom and East that they will be punished. Days later, Tom and East decide to sneak into the Hare of Hounds nine mile race, which is reserved for senior boys. When the "hare" or lead boy takes off, the "hounds" follow a trail the hare leaves. George soon catches up to Tom and East, who order him to return home, but George is determined to follow his older friends. They soon become lost and come upon Flashman fighting a neighborhood man named Ned Taylor, who has forbidden Flashman to meet with a young girl from his farm. When Flashman falls into the swift-moving Barby Weir falls during the fight, Tom and East jump in to save him, but Flashman tries to drown them. As George, who is unable to swim, tries to lend a hand, Flashman pulls the boy into the water and saves himself instead. The three boys narrowly miss the river's falls, help each other to safety and return to school soaking wet late that night. Arnold tells Tom that he has failed the school by acting so irresponsibly, adding that George has become deathly ill from the outing. The next day, Arnold tells Tom that George assured him the accident was not Tom's fault. Later that night, when Tom tries to enlist East in a prayer for George's recovery, East defensively retorts that despite his own prayers for his mother's return years ago, his prayers have failed him. However, when Tom begins to pray, he notices East quietly doing the same. The next morning, Tom and East are called into Arnold's study where Flashman claims that Tom and East were teasing George along the banks of the river and watched the boy fall in, while Flashman attempted to save George from drowning. Arnold then asks Tom and East if they witnessed the fight between Flashman and Taylor, but they refuse to "snitch." Arnold then calls in Taylor, who reports that his own anger towards Flashman prevented him from helping his enemy, but he watched as Tom, East and George attempted to save Flashman. Arnold expels Flashman and shows Tom and East to George's mother, who tells them that their friendship gave George something to live for. George told her that when he had fallen into a deep sleep nearing death, he heard Tom and East calling him back while they prayed. The boys finally come to understand the power of friendship, faith and the school's reformation, enabling them to appreciate their days at the Rugby School.

Department of Pediatrics
Gabrielle Lapping-Carr specializes in the provision of care for children with benign and malignant hematologic (blood) disorders. She often treats patients with primary immune deficiencies, myelodysplasias, sickle cell disease, congenital bone marrow disorders, and leukemia or lymphoma who are undergoing stem cell transplantation.
An active researcher, she and her colleagues developed the Chicago Sickle Cell Disease Research Group. She has established an extensive database of samples from patients with sickle cell anemia at different key points during their disease. Using the database, she identified serum markers that play a role in endothelial integrity and response after ischemia. Her goal is to understand the variations in lung pathology across the affected population, in order to provide personalized care to those at higher risk and to develop novel therapies.
Lapping-Carr earned an AB in biology, with a concentration in neural and behavioral studies, from Bryn Mawr College. She received her MD from the University of Illinois College of Medicine at Peoria. She then completed her internship and residency at Rainbow Babies and Children's Hospital in Cleveland, as well as a fellowship in pediatric hematology/oncology at the University of Chicago.

While any job loss is difficult, if it is an unexpected loss without time to prepare financially, it could be even worse. However, there are different measures you can take to get through the tough times until you're able to get back on your feet again.
Determine What Benefits Are Available
The first step you need to take after an unexpected job loss is finding out if you're eligible for unemployment benefits and health insurance coverage. If you had employer-provided health insurance, you might be able to stay on through COBRA (Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act). To help cover the income gap, you might also be able to apply for unemployment compensation. Eligibility and length of benefits vary depending on where you live and the length of time you worked.
Put Together Your Financial Plan
Take a look at your monthly expenses and figure out how long you can continue to pay them while you're looking for a new job. Create a budget by trimming away as many nonessential expenses as possible. For example, take a look at your cable bill and see if you're paying for extra services or channels that you don't need. While you need a cell phone to contact companies and conduct interviews, you might not need all the talk, text, and data that you now have.
Search for Another Job
Image via Flickr by neetalparekh
Start looking for your new job immediately. Call friends, family, and former work colleagues to let them know you're looking for work. Also take a look at the field you're in and decide if a career change is necessary. If so, look for free classes or tutorials to help further your education. Consider enrolling in a few training programs to help keep your résumé fresh and polish your skills.
Look for Creative Cash-Flow Solutions
Take a look around your house and see what you have in the way of unused items you can turn into cash. If you have a lot of furniture and household goods, you can put together a garage sale. Clean out your closet and sell your gently used clothing at a consignment shop. You can also try selling your items online through websites like eBay. If you end up with items that you can't sell, you can give them as a donation to a charity for a potential tax write-off.
Consider a Personal Loan
Sometimes, major household repairs, such as a roof leak or burst pipes, can happen at the worst time. Or, if you've lost your job and your health insurance, a sickness or injury can lead to some major expenses. If you need another option for extra cash, consider taking out a personal loan. Companies such as Avant and Prosper offer personal loans that can help you cover unexpected expenses including medical costs and home repair. There are no hidden fees, so you know exactly what you're paying. There are flexible terms to help ease your stress.
While an unexpected job loss is one of the most stressful situations a person can go through, by following these five tips you can help weather the storm until you've found a new job.

I had a very productive day today I caught up on my Project Life, finished a layout I had started last weekend and started going through a large box of UFO's (unfinished layouts) and finished some or ditched the others I'm about half way through it so hopefully will finish it tonight while I listen to the cricket. Some of these layouts were so old, I had made a heap of packs up for some retreats I went on now I haven't been on any retreats for years lol. Here's my January In review layout it's from Pip Prosser's Cut and Paste Feb double up packs.
I should stop being lazy and scan the layouts rather than photograph them, they look better scanned.

Lowry Research Update: Market Going LowerPublished July 13th, 2009 in Trading
Today's market strength isn't surprising as we looked at different breadth measures that suggested that in the short term, the market was approaching oversold.
But today's strength notwithstanding, looking out further along the time horizon, we are probably going to see lower prices. According to the latest report from Lowry Research, their proprietary Buying Power Index, which measures the demand side of the market, has falling dramatically.
Concomitantly, the Selling Pressure Index - their proprietary measure of supply - is now heading up after meandering for a few months. These two taken together mean that the stock market may even retest or go through the March lows.
The usual script for a new bull market is very shallow retracements and an immediate and aggressive bounce from any oversold condition. We are not really seeing that, at least so far - which leads many to conclude that we are not in a bull market but rather continue to trundle through a brutal bear market.
Although Lowry Research is probably best known for Paul Desmond's seminal study of the role of 90-90 days in the birth of bull markets, they themselves follow their two proprietary supply and demand indicators for guidance on future market prices. To read more about Lowry's methodology and charts of Buying Power and Selling Pressure indexes, see this: Lowry Research On Current Market Conditions.
You can also watch Paul Desmond's recent CNBC interview where he mentions basically the same arguments for a defensive position going forward.

Proprietary research or public simple research lead to expect a major decline of the market.
the US markets are expensive… very expensive…
To the point where the PER on the S&P 500 is at the highest since 1936 (since inception!) and has been hovering above the incredible figures of the peak of the tech bubble: Historical PER record value on the S&P 500
So if you hope for the PER to hit 7-8 with the current earnings… the S&P should be trading 80% lower… scary…
Conclusion, even if the recovery was here, that earning would indeed raise dramatically, the market would still be extremely expensive…
Jul 14th, 2009 at 10:16 am
Pej, historically that's not the way stocks are valued at the beginning of bull markets. Do you remember what the trailing or forward P/E ratio on the Nasdaq was in October 2002?
Jul 14th, 2009 at 10:50 am
Jim, I'm not talking about methodology, but just plotting the historical quarterly PER values of the S&P from inception to date. I believe there has been other "beginning of bull markets" besides the 2002 bottom. Secular bottoms are usually marked by very low PERs, not extremely high ones
Jul 14th, 2009 at 11:13 am
Thanks for the update from Lowry's. Please make more frequent posts to update us on Lowry's buying power and selling pressure in the current market.
Jul 15th, 2009 at 7:11 pm
Be careful failed head and shoulder patterns often lead to major rallies.
Jul 21st, 2009 at 8:22 am
Babak, it seems Lowry's timing was quite inaccurate…
Please Wait
