I've always wondered how Griffith's mind works after being reborn into a physical world.
We know that to be a member of the God Hand is to become an emotionless being. They sink into the evil itself which makes them get rid off emotions.
I am curious how (if) did he change after coming back. He definitely lost some of his character traits due to being emotionless, since he shows none of the childish glee he used to possess in victory when he was human. Although he had to maintain something from his former self, since he still wanted a kingdom for himself. My point is: how does he see the world now? Is he just emotionless Griffith who is aware of his possibilities and uses them for his own agenda? How does his personality work now?
I really hope that Miura will show him more as a independent person and not just a being driven by a grand scheme without his own personality.
I think you're falling into the trap of thinking of the apostles as purely evil. They seem to all have their character flaws indulged, nurtured, and as a result become more prominent. As early as the Slug Count we see some emotions as he is obviously struggling with sacrificing Teresa. Rosine has a very emotional departure and cares deeply for Jill. Griffiths new generals all have personalities and even Zodd has been shown to be multidimensional.
Considering he is also a member of the GH and not just a lowly apostle we can assume that he has more freedom than apostles.
Apostles are created differently from members of the GH, however, and so there may room to debate which faction is more "purely evil."
So to cut to the chase, Femto is pure unadulterated evil while this form of Griffith is probably much more susceptible to the human condition making him feel and act more human. While he apparently holds no more regarding for Guts, I'm sure there are other things he cares deeply for and will die to protect.
The God Hand is more evil. They have more evil power. I don't think the manga leaves us any doubt about that.
Oh boy, that's completely wrong on all fronts. Griffith right now is no different from Femto. It's the same person.And about Guts, while he did tell him he felt nothing, the child inside him (Guts' son) does feel something, which will be a key element when they eventually face against each other. Just like the boy made Griffith protect Casca from falling rocks, he might stop him from hurting his father.
They're all still indubitably evil though. That's a defining trait for each of them.
Yeah the point I was trying to make here was completely lost. Apostles are people imbued with power while the GH are transcended beings - so when an apostle kills someone they are an asshole but when a GH kills someone it is just their nature. If a dentist from the midwest kills an giraffe it' a big deal but if a lion does the same thing, well, that's just the way things go. Maybe there isn't any wiggle room here.
See here's the thing about this for me...Isn't Griffith in a human body? Similar to Jesus Christ who was simultaneously completely human and completely divine. Jesus had the full human existential experience while being a deity. That's why I refer to Griffith/Femto as separate entities - because Femto(God) does not possess a human body while Griffith(Jesus) does indeed. I may be reading into this incorrectly, but with Griffith being a prophesized mesiah I thought the parallel couldn't be ignored.
I understand that the boy is influencing his actions at times but I hadn't really figured that into the equation. My point here is that Griffith has established his Kingdom in more than one sense and I'm sure he cares about protecting that very much and is not totally devoid of all emotion.

Jesus had the full human existential experience while being a deity. That's why I refer to Griffith/Femto as separate entities - because Femto(God) does not possess a human body while Griffith(Jesus) does indeed - essentially two parts of the same being. I may be reading into this incorrectly, but with Griffith being a prophesized mesiah I thought the parallel couldn't be ignored.
I do think buttonmasher has a nuanced point on whether or not the Apostles are capital E 'Evil.' Some undoubtedly are such as Wyald, and the Snake Baron. They seem like sadists who do all they do for the enjoyment of screams and others suffering.
But we've also seen apostles help fallen human soldiers while they fought Ganishka, get angry at the death of human comrades, and rescue refugees from astral creatures.
And this may be related to the resolution we see between Griffith and Guts. I'm not expecting forgiveness or apology, but like all things Miura has done so far, there will probably be a bittersweet component to it.
How would old Griffith's kingdom look? From what I remember we only know that he wanted a kingdom, but we don't actually know how would he manage it. Was that just a desire to rule? Did he want to be a good king?

Well he was portrayed as a bad king, almost a tyrant I think in episode 1 of '97 anime. I know it's not canon, but makes you think why someone can see him like that.
Not only is it not canon -- it's nonsensical.
Actually I would like see Griffith as a tyrant without Falconia.
he doesn't really do anything on his own and shows no real personality.
I think that Griffith getting a normal kingdom and then going for Falconia could be better than what we got. Mostly because as I mentioned earlier - there was no struggle. He is a demon king but he got everything without any effort, that made it pretty boring in my opinion. The only struggle he has ever felt so far after becoming Femto was conceding to Guts and Casca's child. It is going to be his undoing but still, it's not that much now.
First off, I'm glad you're not writing the story. Second, you actually call the Millennium Falcon arc boring? Really? The apostle army assembling in Shet, Ganishka's nightmarish restyling of Wyndham, the Holy See assembling in Vritannis and the Kushans' subsequent attacks (with the Pishacha and then the regular army), Griffith's reversal of the situation, and then Ganishka's unthinkable transformation into "Shiva", the titanic battle of the apostles and humans against Ganishka's spawns and Femto's unleashing of the Astral World... culminating with the reveal of the World Spiral Tree and Falconia. You call that boring? Wow.That aside, I think you're mistaken about Griffith's role in the story. He's the antagonist. He's not the one meant to be struggling; that's Guts. Guts struggles in the mud while Griffith soars in the sky, that's how Berserk was conceived.
Anyway try to see it at different angles, it's not like everything the author of Berserk has done is perfect.
You know, I actually wonder why you're reading Berserk at all. I mean I don't have to see things at "different angles", because I'm pretty damn sure I see more angles to Berserk than you ever will. You're entitled to your opinion of course, and if you think Griffith is boring then there's not much I can respond except that your opinion sucks. But I'm curious why someone who hates Casca and finds Griffith boring is reading this series. I'm sure you also have secret complaints about other key characters, so I think maybe this just isn't the right series for you? I'm just laying it here because there's nothing else for me to say, I'm not going to argue with you about why the story is interesting if it's not obvious to you just by reading it.
You think about yourself as a superior, it definitely shows.
You disregard every opinion that is opposing your way of thinking in way that you almost disregard it entirely. I understand that. You see more than me, you know more than me, I will never be as cool as you, but dont tell me what is for me or not, because i dont appreciate those kinds of things.
Maybe its not so obvious for you (although it should be considering how smart you are), but to appreciate the true work of art is to embrace and understand its flaws. Maybe I am not right in everything I am saying in this thread, but at least I am trying to think about it critically. For you discussing Berserk is just to discuss plot points and characters, but to actually see out of that picture?
As I see it now, there is no point in discussing anything with you, if it clashes with your opinions. I hope at least a small part of this will sink into your head and you will actually consider something out of your mind as something valuable.
Oh so this is about me now? I'm an administrator of this forum, its most prolific poster, am involved into all aspects of the community, and I've been a fan of Berserk for over 15 years. I value my own opinion more than that of a newcomer who probably found out about the series by reading it in one sitting a month ago, and whose posts (including the very first one) consist of a long series of misconceptions about the main characters of the series. Do you honestly expect anything different? Since you're good at viewing things from different angles, try to imagine what things would be like if our roles were reversed. Maybe you'll see then how nice I actually am with you.
You also say what's happened with him has been boring and call him a "shounen character", even though what you would have preferred is a stereotypical villain, a tyrant cackling in the "normal castle" of his "normal kingdom". Well I fucking disagree. I think your vision sucks, is unoriginal and actually conforms perfectly to a million uninteresting "shounen characters" that already exist. And I think what Miura has done with Griffith in the Millennium Falcon arc and the Fantasia arc so far has been fucking stellar. Again, I wouldn't have kept reading the series for over 15 years if it hadn't been the case.
It sounds like you believe you're laid down some kind of high level critique here. I regret to inform you that you did not.
A discussion is an exchange of ideas and points of view. If you expect a discussion to be me agreeing with everything you say, even when it's basically that Berserk sucks, then no we can't have a "discussion". And no, there is nothing valuable for me in this thread, or in any interaction I've had with you so far. But I don't begrudge that.
Well, I am not glad that you see Miura as someone who doesn't do mistakes, at least I am getting that vibe. Anyway try to see it at different angles, it's not like everything the author of Berserk has done is perfect.
I dont blame you because its pretty typical to feel better than someone based on various things. As I said though, its very destructive when it comes to discussing things with different people.
You have jumped to a conclusion to early. I dont want a typical, mustache twirling villain. I want someone who can stand on his own not only by his looks, but also for his personality. Griffith seems to be empty now, to the point he has become not so interesting he used to be. Its not even because he is different, he actually didnt gain anything from being Femto. It brought up his arrogance and that stuff more but thats it.
No, that was a basic critique. Even that seems hurtful for you.
This is exactly what you do, you expect me to agree with you, because you see yourself as one who has better understanding of everything. You will also disregard everything Ive said now just because I havent read this manga 10000 times. Whats the point then? Tell me.
But I don't think I'm better than you. I just know Berserk better than you do. Big difference. I'm not 14 years old and I don't think of knowledge as a measure of greatness.
He gained power, and he's been using that power. But he's also lost a part of his humanity. And that's how it's meant to be. I'm just repeating what I've already said here so I don't want to ramble on. The fact Griffith seems empty to you is because he's unreadable. He's not human anymore, he's alien. He's Femto. He looks otherworldly, and like he's above it all. Because he actually is. And he's like a fairytale hero who always wins... because the "fairytale" was set up in advance so he would always win. All of that is key to the story, and that's what he gained by becoming Femto. I don't know what more to tell you other than I like how that was done, and I find Griffith's alienness actually interesting, meaningful and logical.
Look we're not going to spend hours on this. I do think I have a better understanding, not of everything, but of Berserk. But that's besides the point. I don't care how many times you've read Berserk. All I care is about what you're saying. I disagree with some of the things you've said, so I've responded to tell you about it. That's literally how a discussion works. Sometimes people agree, sometimes they disagree. Here I disagree. We disagree. You also keep replying to tell me I'm wrong, don't you? By the way, you know what I'd do if I truly disregarded what you were saying? I'd ignore you. I wouldn't bother talking to you. But I do.

Window Treatments & Blinds for High Windows
- Cover high spots for additional privacy
- Consider light control needs on high windows
- Protect interior from UV rays and heat gain
- Versatile top down/bottom up to preserve view
- Add motorization for easier operation
A tall wall full of windows provides great views and plenty of light, but may let in damaging UV rays or unwanted heat. Hard to reach areas usually require custom made blinds for high windows. Determine how much light control you need and if you'd like your shade to be adjustable. If you don't plan on raising or lowering your shades, choose a cellular shade with light filtering qualities that fit your needs. For total control over your shade, we suggest motorization that will allow you to raise, lower, or tilt your blinds with a remote control instead of struggling to grab a hold of those hard to reach window treatments.

"Perfect Fit"

Great price on these Bali Shades. The color enhances the room and makes it cozy when the shades are drawn. When the shades go up they are thin and almost go away. Great product and have recommended them for years.View this product

Lamont Ferguson
Lamont Ferguson started his comedy career at the ripe age of 17. Having been a highly touted musician throughout high school, it seemed only natural. Lamont's trumpet playing got him such prestigious gigs as opening band musician for Miss Ella Fitzgerald as well as various Las Vegas performances. Lamont made his first stand-up appearance at the La Jolla Comedy Store and according to him it's been "one long war of attrition after that." In the past 20 years he's played everywhere from Anchorage to Yuma and all letters in between. He's been honing his craft for all those years. "I feel like if I can provide a good living for my family doing something that I love, then in a sense I have made it…but a pay raise can never hurt," says Ferguson. Lamont's act is constantly evolving, changing with him as he grows. "That's what makes Cosby so great, he's been funny, I mean double over funny for the past 30 years!" That's what I base my plan on. "Seattlecomedy.net wrote about Ferguson: "Having the benefit of seeing Lamont a few times … I am constantly impressed by his professionalism. He simply doesn't make mistakes–he doesn't stumble over words, he doesn't step on the audience's laughs, and he drops every punch line at the perfect time to deliver maximum impact…and yet, he never seems over-rehearsed or too polished. Everything he says, somehow, seems to be coming right from his head to his lips…as he is so in the moment– That is a gift."Lamont is the father of 3 children; Alex 25, Sydni 23, and Noah 11. His daughter, Sydni is in the business. "Sydni was more successful at age 5 than I had been in the first 10 years in this business!" Sydni landed a lead role in the movie Spawn as her first acting job back in 1995. On Dec 10, 2012, Sydni made her Broadway debut in Mamma Mia. "My kids think I'm funny, although they're at that age where they're starting to think an adult being silly is a bit embarrassing especially when it's dad, but they'll come around"Ferguson has gained the respect of many in the comedy community. His act is clever, intelligent, original and insightful. He is considered to be a professional amongst professionals. Lamont started a company in 1999 called Sprocket Entertainment. Sprocket Entertainment is produces the critically acclaimed "West Coast Funnies" currently touring the Western part of the US. The comedy variety show has been called by Time-Warner cable as "The west coast's answer to Saturday Night Live!" Lamont's comedy role models are people like Bill Cosby, Jerry Seinfeld and Jim Carrey. "I admire them for the one thing they all have in common, perseverance. You can't succeed in this business without it"From high school band member to McDonald's manager to open miker to working comic, Lamont Ferguson has stayed steady on the path to making people laugh.Ferguson has appeared on Comedy Central, Comics Unleashed and ABC's Family Channel. He was the Winner of the Seattle International Comedy Competition, three time semi-finalist at the Boston Comedy Festival and finalist in the San Francisco International Comedy Competition. He has the distinction of being one of the only comics in the country that has opened for all of the following comedians: Bill Cosby, Steve Harvey, George Lopez, Larry Miller, Garry Shandling, Richard Jeni, and George Carlin.

Remembering Commander Shepard
Today, in an interview with VG247.com, BioWare Montreal's Fabrice Condominas confirmed what we've long suspected: Commander Shepard will not appear in future Mass Effect games. "There is one thing we are absolutely sure of," commented Condominas, "there will be no more Shepard, and the trilogy is over."
Now, at the end of Shepard's journey in games, I look back on Mass Effect and what the commander meant to me.
[Warning: this story contains spoilers]
The Mass Effect series is a seminal accomplishment for multiple reasons. Not only did BioWare craft a trilogy rivaling the great science fiction films, but also unified them under one story arc better than any of its individual parts. There's a core experience that everyone who has played Mass Effect shares, but it's the choices they make that ensure they see it differently. At the heart of it all is Commander Shepard.
Although Shepard is an iconic character, everyone sees the commander differently. BioWare didn't even specify the gender of their flagship protagonist. From the outset, you're granted characterization options that let you shape Shepard's background and appearance. I opted to play as a male war hero from Earth. After altering his facial appearance, he looked nothing like the soldier gracing the cover of the Mass Effect case. BioWare gives you these options for fleshing out the commander, but it all ends there; the rest is in your hands.
Shepard isn't a silent protagonist. However, for a character that does so much talking of his own, I'm immediately empathizing with him. Dialogue choices allow me to inject my own personality into the story, and in turn affect it in my own way. I decide who comes on missions with me, who joins my squad, and even who lives or dies. When the moment arrives that forces me to choose between Kaidan and Ashley, I'm torn. I've been growing more and more attached to Ashley, but this isn't a minor decision; their lives are in my hands. After lengthy contemplation, I choose to send Kaidan to his death, cementing Ashley's place in the remainder of the trilogy.
The full weight of my choice wasn't driven home until years later, during my first playthrough of Mass Effect 3. Ashley returned to my squad after her hiatus in Mass Effect 2, but my friend was fighting alongside Kaidan in his game. This divergence from the set cast of most games astonished me, and almost required me to import the save file in which Kaidan survived. I couldn't believe that my choices made such an impact on the entire trilogy plot, and I felt more attached to Shepard than ever.
Throughout Mass Effect 2, BioWare places the responsibility of the Normandy squad on my shoulders once again. As Shepard, it's not only my job to improve my allies' abilities, but also create personal bonds with them. I'm enraptured with every loyalty mission and conversation in an effort to gain their trust, knowing that it could pay off in the long run.
When the final suicide mission rolls around, I feel ready to delegate tasks to the squad members I trust the most. I was able to learn everyone's strengths, weaknesses, and personalities, and it helps me in the end. I'm thinking as a commander, but also as a friend. The fates of others are placed in my hands, and I'm struggling to leave emotion out of my decision-making, but BioWare once again places me right in the shoes of the hero in a tense situation. I trust Legion to navigate the vents and open the door in our way, and I know that Samara is a powerful biotic who can shield us when we need it. Upon defeating the Human-Reaper, my involvement in the game pays off; I can almost feel Shepard's relief emulating from the television screen as I escape the mission with everyone alive. The second installment of the Mass Effect trilogy is my favorite for several reasons, the chief one being the way my actions as Shepard crafted my own unique story.
Mass Effect 3 brings every choice from the two previous games to bear. The weight of the Reaper assault is falling on the civilizations of the universe, and Shepard is the greatest hope of defeating them. Unfortunately, the ending drew negativity as many fans felt like their decisions weren't accounted for in the script. On the other hand, many loved the ultimatum that was thrust on them in the final moments of the trilogy. I find myself in the latter camp. I love how all of my involvement in Shepard was brought to the forefront in my attempt to stop the Reapers by any means necessary. Should I choose destruction, control, or synthesis? After spending three games in the role of Shepard, I opt for synthesis, believing it to be the only way the Reapers can be stopped for good. It was a fitting end to a character I felt so attached to, and I can't wait to experience the whole story again.
Many video games allow you to shape your character any way you want. Whether it is appearance, abilities, or play style, you're free to do as you please. The reason that Shepard makes such an impact is that not only can you affect your own story, but the entire Mass Effect plot as well. Most memorable video game characters are loved because of the shared experience gamers had with them. Shepard is unusual because he accomplishes the same feat in so many different ways, and that won't easily be forgotten.

5.0 Mustang & Super FordsHow To Wheels Tires
Brake Cooling Kit Install for 1994-2004 Ford Mustangs
5.0 Tech Inspection
We acknowledge that when it comes to racing Mustangs, most of our coverage happens at the dragstrip. Putting the coals to a stout Pony and then measuring how quickly it runs at the strip is a mainstay of our hobby.
While going straight in a hurry puts several Mustang systems to the test, brakes are only critical the end of the fun. When it comes to running hard on a road course or autocross, or bombing downhill through a canyon full of switchbacks, the brakes are always on duty.
Carving corners has been the realm of the Mustang fanatics at Kenny Brown Performance since 1986. As experts in this segment, Kenny Brown engineers have developed innovative parts for improving a 'Stang's handling and stopping.
Running hard heats the brakes and leads to increased stopping distances. As such, Kenny Brown developed this Front Brake Duct Kit '94-'04 Mustangs (PN KB-71200NK; $278). Highlighted by 3-inch (diameter) silicone hose and a pair of spindle-mounted, front-brake ducts, this kit is designed to reduce front-brake operating temperatures. Lower temps lessen the potential for brake fade, which keeps stopping power consistent, and actually improves the life of the rotors and brake pads.
Ricardo Topete and his team and customers at GTR High Performance are avid participants in autocross and open-track events held throughout Southern California. Pedro Paszoldan also participates in these events with his New Edge Pony, making it a perfect candidate for installing the Kenny Brown brake-cooling hardware.
In this Tech Inspection, we highlight the key points of the cooling-duct install. As per usual, the procedure was performed by Ricardo at GTR's 'Stang center in Rancho Cucamonga, California. This setup definitely can be installed as a DIY deal, but it's much easier to document with Ricardo spinning the wrenches.

A little slow paced stretching workout for you! A nice relaxing one.
Holly started pole dancing after admiring the grace, skill and elegance of pole performances and immediately falling in love with the style. After half a decade of bruises, struggling and then the satisfaction of success, her own pole school Firefly Poles was born. The vision is to share that same passion with others.
Holly wished that there was more Pole Dancing help available when I was learning, so now she aims to provide that help through writing, blogging and teaching here on PoleFreaks.
Holly is also a Level 4 advanced personal trainer and an ambassador for Dragonfly pole wear, and also writes regularly for the Dragonfly blog .

A diversified mission of astronomy, commercial space research and International Space Station preparation gets under way as the Space Shuttle Columbia climbs into orbit from Launch Pad 39B at 2:55:47 p.m. EST, Nov. 19, 1996. During Mission STS-80, Columbia's five-person crew will deploy and retrieve two free-flying spacecraft, conduct two spacewalks and perform a variety of microgravity research experiments in the Shuttle's middeck area. The veteran crew is led by Commander Kenneth D. Cockrell; Kent V. Rominger is the pilot and the three mission specialists are Tamara E. Jernigan, Story Musgrave and Thomas D. Jones. At age 61, Musgrave becomes the oldest person ever to fly in space; he also ties astronaut John Young's record for most number of spaceflights by a human being, and in embarking on his sixth Shuttle flight Musgrave has logged the most flights ever aboard NASA's reusable space vehicle. The two primary payloads for STS-80 are the Wake Shield Facility-3 (WSF-3) and the Orbiting and Retrievable Far and Extreme Ultraviolet Spectrometer-Shuttle Pallet Satellite II (ORFEUS-SPAS II).

Play it Cool: Solving Thermal Problems
Thermal problems have been a major bane of computers since the very first computer was plugged into AC power. This series explores how a system can be built to monitor and report room temperatures using methods that can be duplicated for a variety of uses.
In Review
The previous two articles in this series Play It Cool: Remote Monitoring of Equipment Room Temps and Play It Cool: Incorporating Reporting Mechanisms from Physical Devices showed how a modular scripting system was built around a single temperature sensor connected to a serial port. The system read the temperature from the sensor, reported it in a variety of ways, and could even read the temperature audibly at regular intervals. This article improves upon the serial-port communication between the scripts and the sensor, and shows how an analog button can be added to perform certain functions on demand.
Note: This series of articles uses Linux as the operating system of choice, with scripts written for the shell (Bash) and in Perl. For the tasks outlined within this series, I found Linux to be ideal. If you're using a different programming platform, or if you're unable to replicate these methods on Linux, you'll still gain value from these articles. Where possible, I'll point out analogous possibilities in Windows and other operating systems.
Faulty Readings
After using my temperature-reading mechanism for a few weeks, I noticed some disturbing trends in the data. Sometimes the sensor would report "32 degrees Fahrenheit." After investigating the various pieces involved in the mechanism, I determined that Kermit was the root cause, returning bogus results that the rest of the mechanism interpreted as 32 degrees.
I've never quite determined why Kermit wasn't reading the sensor data correctly, but suspect the way that Kermit initializes the serial port. The temperature sensor relies on power from the RTS and DTR serial lines-I suspect that Kermit might drop those lines when initializing the port. Occasionally the script runs faster or slower than normal, catching the sensor without power, and hence returning bogus readings.
In any case, a new mechanism was needed to read the sensor. For a variety of reasons, I settled on Perl, with the addition of the Device::Serial module to handle the communication.
Note: The Device::Serial Perl module handles most of the rigors of serial-port manipulation, allowing the programmer to concentrate on what to send to and receive from the port. Device::Serial is available packaged for most Linux distributions or from CPAN (Comprehensive Perl Archive Network).
Of course, most languages available today have serial-handling modules available. My choice to use Perl in particular was driven by many factors, but other languages (C, Python, etc.) could be used just as easily.
Implementing Perl and the Device::Serial Object
The Device::Serial module provides an object-oriented interface to serial ports. Using this interface follows the typical methods for such interfaces:
- Create a new serial-port object.
- Configure the new object.
- Manipulate the object as necessary.
- Destroy the object.
My original Kermit script wasn't very flexible-it operated only on one serial port, which was hard-coded into the script. At the time I was poised to rewrite the serial-port handling part of the mechanism, my employers were also looking to implement a system for monitoring their server room and lab. I decided to write the new Perl script to be more flexible, by accepting the serial port to poll as an argument on the command line.
Note: As you might recall from the previous articles in this series, it's important to keep the system modular in design and not load any one piece with more than one task. In this case, the modular task is returning data from the sensor connected to a serial port. However, that data has one purpose-to be converted to a temperature value-so this script was designed to read the raw data and convert it to a usable temperature value.
The complete script is shown in Listing 1. The comments included in the script appropriately outline and document its functionality.
Listing 1: The readtemp.pl Perl script
#!/usr/bin/perl -w # Declarations use strict; use Device::SerialPort qw( :PARAM :STAT 0.07 ); use vars qw /$VERSION/; ($VERSION) = '$Revision: 1.0 $' =~ /([d.]+)/; my ($num, $char, $countchar, $buffer, $argument, $port); # Get argument(s) from command line if (@ARGV) { $port = ""; # Note that the server room sensor is connected to # serial port 1 (ttyS0), lab sensor to serial # serial port 2 (ttyS1) $argument = (shift @ARGV); if ($argument eq "ttyS0" || $argument eq "server") { $port = "/dev/ttyS0" } if ($argument eq "ttyS1" || $argument eq "lab" ) { $port = "/dev/ttyS1" } # If the port is set, proceed if ($port ne "" ) { # Open port my $PortObj = Device::SerialPort->new($port); # Init port and protocol vars my $STALL_DEFAULT=10; my $timeout=$STALL_DEFAULT; $PortObj->baudrate(9600); $PortObj->parity("none"); $PortObj->databits(8); $PortObj->stopbits(1); # don't wait for each character $PortObj->read_char_time(0); # 1 second per unfulfilled "read" call $PortObj->read_const_time(1000); # Raise DTR and RTS my $dtr=$PortObj->dtr_active(1); my $rts=$PortObj->rts_active(1); # Clear buffers $PortObj->lookclear; $char = $PortObj->read(4); # Send temp read command $countchar = $PortObj->write("!0RT"); # Read two-byte response (discard first byte) $char = $PortObj->read(1); # Close and destroy port undef $PortObj; # Convert to temp reading and output if ($char ne "") { $num = (ord($char) / 2 * 9 / 5) + 32; } else { $num = "Error reading temperature!"; } print "$numn"; } else { # If port not set, wrong params given on # command line; display usage &usage } } else { # If no arguments are given, display usage &usage } # Display usage sub usage { die "nUsage: readtemp.pl ttyS0 | ttyS1 | server | lab$!nn"; }
As the code shows, specifically in the usage() function, the script accepts four parameters to determine the serial port that you want to access. Because the script was meant for Progeny's use, I included "server" and "lab" as shortcuts for the ports to which the appropriate sensor was connected. Users who were unsure of which port was for the lab sensor could simply run the script with "lab" as the parameter, to have the script return the temperature in the lab. An even more flexible construction would have been to create a configuration file that mapped the ports to human-readable forms as needed. However, that was overkill at the time, when the script was intended for limited use.
This one script replaced the use of Kermit and its script, as well as the Perl routine to convert the sensor's reading to a temperature value. The new script functioned much better than the Kermit solution-no errors in reading, and a lot less overhead.

(CNN) -- Although both Republican Rep. Allen West and Democratic challenger Patrick Murphy picked up votes in a weekend recount, the unofficial numbers did not change each man's standing - with Murphy still ahead - and, regardless, the latest count may not factor into the final totals.
Following the recount of early ballots cast in St. Lucie County, Murphy had 65,841 votes to West's 52,704 in that county.
Those numbers, however, were not included in unofficial results reported on the Florida Secretary of State's website Sunday evening. The campaigns acknowledged the county did not meet a noon deadline for submitting recounted vote tallies to the state.
As of Sunday evening, Murphy led the incumbent West 166,257 to 164,353 in Florida's 18th district, which includes three counties.
Murphy's campaign manager Anthony Kusich said in a statement Sunday, "No matter which results Allen West looks at, he's lost.
"This recount should once and for all lay to rest the false claims that West somehow was 'cheated' out of a seat in Congress," Kusich continued. "It is beyond time to put this campaign behind us and put the interests of the people of the Treasure Coast and Palm Beaches first."
Murphy has declared victory on previous occasions after results were reported.
In his own statement on Sunday, West said, "Since Election Day we have been working for a fair and accurate accounting of the election outcome in which voters can put their full trust. We will review the results of today's recount and the other available data to determine how to proceed.
"I have been humbled by the support we have received, and the hard work of so many to ensure the integrity of this process. We look forward to the report which will be issued by the Secretary of State's auditors this coming week, which we hope will shed light on some of the outstanding issues."
West was referring to officials sent to the county by the state after irregularities surfaced, including an uncounted box of ballots and West's assertion that some early votes were counted twice.
St. Lucie County Supervisor of Elections Gertrude Walker ordered late Friday that all early votes in her county be recounted beginning Saturday morning. West's court petition for a recount was denied Friday, but a canvassing board ordered the retabulation, citing sufficient concern to grant the re-examination of the votes, according to CNN affiliate WPBF.
West, a first-term congressman and retired Army lieutenant colonel, and Patrick locked in one of the country's most expensive U.S. House races, according to a ranking prepared by the Center for Responsive Politics. West raised $17 million through mid-October and Murphy brought in $3.7 million, according for Federal Election Commission records.

After losing 80-52 Saturday afternoon at No. 25 Cincinnati, the Bisons, 4-6, immediately turned their attention to Arizona, 4-5. Tip-off time at the McKale Center in Tucson is 8 p.m.
The Pac-10 team poses some problems similar to the ones that the Bisons faced against Cincinnati. Arizona is also a tall, athletic and speedy team.
Coach Scott Sanderson has been preparing his team as quickly as possible for Arizona with approximately 48 hours to get his Bisons up to speed. While the time is short, he is happy to be able to quickly put the Cincinnati game in the background.
"A lot of guys did not play particularly well," Sanderson said. "They are not being accountable on both ends of the court. I told our bench players to be ready because some of our starters may give them the opportunity to play."
Arizona is averaging 77 points per game at home and is shooting at a 45 percent clip at the McKale Center. This will be the first game for the Wildcats in nine days.
Senior point guard Nic Wise leads Arizona with 16 points per game. Derrick Williams, a 6-foot-8 freshman forward, is averaging 14 points per game. Jamelle Home, a 6-7 junior forward, is averaging 11.1 points per game and is leading the team in rebounds with 8.1 per game.
"Wise is one of the better point guards in the country, not just scoring, though he can score," Sanderson said. "He creates shots not only for himself, but for a lot of other people.
"They do a lot of stagger screening for their shooters. They do a lot of ball screening for Wise late in a play."
The Bisons are led by junior center Adnan Hodzic with 21.4 points and 7.3 rebounds per game. Junior guard Josh Slater is averaging 15.8 points per game followed by junior forward Brandon Brown with 12.9 and sophomore guard Jordan Burgason with 10.2.
Defensively, Sanderson expects Arizona to primarily guard man-to-man with a 2-3 zone mixed in.
The game with Arizona closes out the pre-Christmas schedule for the Bisons. They will return to action Jan. 2 at Allen Arena when Stetson visits for an Atlantic Sun Conference game.

The Best 11 Movies of 2011
01.1.2012 | By Jack Rico | No Comments">No Comments
Happy 2012! A whole year has gone by and with it all of last year's memorable and very forgettable movies. But now we enter the televised film award season recognizing the best of the best for your personal viewing enjoyment. But forget the Oscars, the Golden Globes or any other film organization.
I have compiled the Best 11 movies of 2011 (a mix of the finest commercial and independent fare), so that you can buy that movie ticket without having to clutch it to dear life, or, watch that movie on your streaming or DVD player without feeling you wasted your 2 hours of your existence. Why 11? Just to piss off the rest of the people who create Top 10's and to give a nod to the year that just left us.
So trust me on this. Relax and have some peace of mind that these films will either change you or just remind you why going to the movies can be a soul-satisfying experience.
11. The Help
And we begin with #11. Authentic, visceral, funny, melancholic, disturbing and powerful is how I would describe Tate Taylor's 'The Help'. An aspiring author during the civil rights movement of the 1960's decides to write a book detailing the African-American maid's point of view on the white families for which they work, and the hardships they go through on a daily basis. What you need to know is that a best actress award will come out of this film at the Oscar's and it'll be between Viola Davis and Octavia Spencer who bring home the gold. The cast ensemble is the second best of the year and it's ardent, sensitive subject matter of racism is sure to trigger emotions you didn't think could rise from you in a movie theater.
Talk about a film that came out of nowhere to leave me dumbfounded at how crazy good it was. This crime thriller, full of twist and turns, brought back Matthew McConaughey to a place of respectability again amongst the garbage he's been starring in since 'Fool's Gold'. The Lincoln Lawyer's plot which is about Mick Haller (McConaughey), a bad-ass, but sleazy defense lawyer who works out of his Lincoln towncar. When a wealthy Realtor (Ryan Phillippe) is accused of raping a prostitute, Haller is asked to defend him. But his client has a foolproof plan to beat the system. It's up to our protagonist to get over his crisis of conscience and see if he can see the difference of right and wrong in his profession. The reason this film comes in at number 10 is because compared to most movies this year, you can't seem to unglue your eyes from this engrossing "did he or didn't he do it?" storyline. It is so well paced and acted that the flaws are almost non-existent. There's enough action, tension and mystery here to satisfy even the most stubborn of spectators. PS: Look for one of the best scenes in the film with scene-stealing star Michael Peña who goes toe to toe with McConaughey. It's a memorable one.
9. The Beaver
I have some major beef with those people who have knocked on this film simply for Mel Gibson's off-camera deeds. If one would just judge the work, one can see that 'The Beaver', is by far, the most underrated movie of 2011. The Beaver is a powerful dark dramedy about a man on a journey to re-discover his family and re-start his life. Plagued by his own demons, Walter Black (Gibson) was once a successful toy executive and family man who now suffers from depression. No matter what he tries, Walter can't seem to get himself back on track…until a beaver hand puppet enters his life. Gibson delivers what I can only describe as one of the most visceral and compelling performances of his career. It is my belief that his performance was as equivalent, if not better, than Michael Fassbender's in 'Shame'. This to me is at least worthy of a nomination. Jodie Foster is also on her directing A game too. Her choice of a story is outside of the box weaving it in with a tragic sense of farce that somehow connects with anyone searching for who they truly are inside. If you like first-rate acting and the antithesis of the banal Hollywood fare, then this film must be placed high on your choices to watch.
8. The Artist
Without question, one of the most hyped films of the year is 'The Artist'. It deserves its label for reviving the obsolete format of silent films with a retro-fresh perspective, and by possessing the most charming performance of any actor this year by Jean Dujardin. But even though a film like this was given the greenlight for cinephiles to indulge in, after the first half hour the novelty begins to wear off exposing the screenplay to a story we've seen before. Similarities linger from 'All About Eve', '42nd Street', 'Sunset Boulevard', 'Veronika Voss', and most recently, 'Burlesque' amongst others – a veteran star sees their success flutter away while the new kid in town embarks their march into stardom. Nevertheless, 'The Artist' provides an experience that is unique and unlike anything you'll pay to see in a theater this year. Will it win Best Picture at the Oscars? Most likely. Does it deserve it? No. Novelty is king this year.
7. War Horse
Yeah, maybe Steven Spielberg lost some of that magic touch since he won an Oscar for 'Saving Private Ryan' 14 years ago, but that doesn't mean he forgot how to make an Oscar worthy film. Enter 'War Horse', the closest thing to a dramatic masterpiece we're going to see from a director all year. The story of a horse and his young owner, which has hues of 'Gone with the Wind' and 'Saving Private Ryan', doesn't possess the most stellar acting or dazzling dialogue, but darnit, it does possess beautiful cinematography and one hell of a feel good, tearjerker story that will squeeze those tear ducts to oblivion. It starts slow, fleshing out the characters, and builds up to an emotionally rousing crescendo, like a Beethoven symphony. I mean even Whoopi Goldberg (an Oscar winner mind you), said: "Someone needs to give that movie an Oscar", on her way out of the screening in New York I attended. What must be witnessed here is how Spileberg made that horse seem human!
You're really going to enjoy 'The Ides of March'. It's such a satisfying political thriller, that it will from now on be discussed in the same breath as 'A Few Good Men', 'The Firm' and 'All the President's Men'. You'll see an all-star cast in George Clooney, Ryan Gosling, Paul Giamatti and Phillip Seymour Hoffman giving us first-class performances that will leave a lasting impression on you long after you leave the theater. This is arguably the best ensemble of actors of any movie this year, and boy, do they deliver the goods. The characters they inhabit are placed during the frantic last days before a heavily contested Ohio presidential primary, when an up-and-coming campaign press secretary (Ryan Gosling) finds himself involved in a political scandal that threatens to upend his candidate's (Clooney) shot at the presidency. This movie is all about skillful acting, astute plot twists (this one had three!), cerebrally stimulating dialogue and an enthralling story. Clooney, who directs it, is now officially a bonafide helmer with a reputation of creating artistically-crowd-pleasing movies. All in all, you will not be dissapointed with 'The Ides of March', a piece of cinema that is a must see for anyone looking to see the best of the best films this year.
5. Hugo
Martin Scorsese's 'Hugo' is probably the sleeper surprise hit of the year because you expect one thing and end up getting something better. How often does that happen for the price of your ticket? It also somehow manages to linger in the crevices of your mind for days. The more you think about it, the more you end up loving it. The catch here is that 'Hugo' is a fairytale for adults, but one that doesn't ignore the kiddies. The 3D experience is absolutely sick and one of the year's best. You only have to see the opening sequence to understand how masterful Scorsese truly is. If you're a film fanatic, one who appreciates silent films and the importance of film preservation, then you are in for a treat that you'll cherish for a long time.
4. Rango
Just when I thought animated films couldn't get any better, 'Rango' had to go out and prove me wrong. This odd and eccentric project, led by the voice of Johnny Depp, was challenging to be, arguably, the best film of the year upon its release in March. The opening sequence, where Rango performs a brilliant and audacious acting monologue, a la Sanford Meisner, instantly set it apart from any other computer generated movie ever created in its genre. It began to play above the level of any Pixar before it. Here is its plot – after a car accident, the chameleon Rango winds up in an old western town called Dirt. What this town needs the most is water, but they also need a hero and a sheriff. The thirsty Rango instantly takes on the role of both and selfishly agrees to take on the case of their missing water. Also credit to the writers for injecting a Latino flavor that was palpable right from the beginning. 'Rango' is not for kids, it is really adult fare with a nod to children. With a script that is cerebral, original, accompanied by highbrow humor, and splendid voice performances from a top notch cast, this movie is one of the best animated films I have ever seen.
And you thought he had lost it. If 'Matchpoint,' 'Vicky Cristina Barcelona' and the underrated 'Cassandra's Dream,' weren't enough to get you to believe in him again, then perhaps 'Midnight in Paris' will. Allen is in rare form, back to the man that created the seminal films 'Annie Hall' and 'Hannah and her Sisters'. This is one of his finest works, an ode to the most romantic city in the world, Paris, where Allen seems re-inspired. He stupefies us with an ingenious and simple plot full of love, nostalgia, and of course, wit. There are no outstanding performances, or awe-inspiring directing, just actors who are able to breathe life into the words of Allen's brilliant script. This tale centers around Gil (Owen Wilson), a successful Hollywood writer who is struggling on his first novel. While in Paris with his demanding wife Inez (Rachel McAdams), his obsession of 1920's Paris comes to life every night at midnight where he befriends the greatest writers, artists and legendary figures of the 20th century. This is a beautiful film that will capture your imagination, seize you in its philosophical message and have you buying a ticket to Paris as soon as possible!
2. Drive
I have to go back to Louis Malle's 'Elevator to the Gallows' from 1958 to know what it feels like to experience the coolest movie I have ever seen. 'Drive' is not just cool, it's uber-cool. It's a sophisticated action movie drenched in sexiness and artistic violence. Have you seen a man get sliced up to classical music or a protagonist without a name? The hardcore boys will love it and so will the sassy girls that will beg to go see 'It' man of the moment – Ryan Gosling. After a slew of fantastic performances this year (Crazy, Stupid, Love, The Ides of March), this film consecrates him as the new Brad Pitt in Hollywood, and, director Nicolas Winding Refn as the new Quentin Tarantino. Also watch for Albert Brooks' (Broadcast Network), supporting performance, as it should strongly compete with Nick Nolte for the honors at the Oscars. The plot revolves around a Hollywood stunt performer (Gosling) moonlighting as a wheelman who discovers that a contract has been put on him after a heist gone wrong. I would catalog this film as an instant cult classic you'll be talking about for years.
1. Warrior
Since no one has the balls to say it, then I will. 'Warrior' is the best film of 2011, with 'Drive' right on its heels. It possesses the best combination of drama, humor, plot intrigue, superb acting and relentless fight action for your movie ticket. I swear I almost broke down in tears THREE times! No other movie has the privilege of boasting that this year. It's the mounting, rousing crescendo towards the end that gets to you. Nick Nolte should get a nod for Best Supporting actor at the Oscars and win it. The movie is about the youngest son (Tom Hardy) of an alcoholic former boxer (Nick Nolte) who returns home, where he's trained by his father for competition in a mixed martial arts tournament — a path that puts the fighter on a collision against his older brother (Joel Edgerton). Mark Wahlberg's 'The Fighter' has nothing on this film. Don't believe other critics who say that this movie isn't all that. It's a crowd pleaser. If you're looking for strong acting, a gritty drama, a good dose of movie violence and desire to shed a tear or two, then get ready to titillate your senses.

Make us proud.
Our alumni have distinguished careers as doctors, entrepreneurs, researchers and professors, and their work takes them as far afield as Africa and Antarctica. Their work impacts science and improves lives.
- Stephanie Botsford (MS Mathematics '13) says about her experience at DU, "I was specifically drawn to DU because the department is so theoretical, and my background in philosophy and pure mathematics coincided with the emphasis of the mathematics researched there. Not only did the math department seem like a good match with my interests in abstraction... The program itself has transformed my mathematics. The professors are more than willing to put in extra work with anyone whom wants to improve and perfect their mathematical rigor and clarity, and the courses offered are both fundamental and diverse. The goal of the department is quite clearly geared towards preparing students to masterfully enter the mathematical community, and this stems from their focus on teaching students and their love of serious and exploratory research. My path has led me on to another masters program in Liverpool, England. I will start my MSc in Computer Science and Internet Economics at the University of Liverpool in September 2013. The Math Department at DU has opened many doors for me, and I will forever appreciate the time I spent there".
- Martha Symko-Davies (PhD physics '97) works at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory managing a photovoltaic incubator program that provides grants to start-up companies with cutting-edge approaches to generating solar power.
- Biology alumna Kristi Moore (BS '97) helped build a new Antarctic research station, and environmental science graduate Matt Harwood (BS '03) worked as an assistant lab supervisor at Antarctica's McMurdo Station.
- Brent Petrie (BA geography '72) is part of a team modernizing diesel power plants, upgrading village fuel facilities and developing alternative energy sources including wind turbines for the Alaska Village Electric Cooperative, which serves 53 rural villages.
- Epidemiologist Karen Gieseker (BS biology '87, MS biology '95) has traveled the world controlling disease outbreak. Now she teaches epidemiology as an assistant professor at the Institute for Public Health at Georgia State University.

Food & Community
Imagine a nation where all children, families and communities have equal access to good food and opportunities for physical activity. This is the goal of our Food & Community work.
Why This Work Matters
Access to good food and opportunities for physical activity are critical to children's overall health. Good food (food that is healthy, sustainable, fair and affordable) is also a driver for academic success for children and economic opportunity for families and communities.
Through Food & Community, we seek to address some of the root causes of health inequities – access to good food and opportunities for physical activity – so that all children have the opportunity to thrive in school and life.
Food & Community is also about cultivating connections: uniting people to the land, to each other and to their own cultural heritage and traditions.
Today we have an unprecedented opportunity to address the crisis of escalating chronic illnesses, many of which are linked to poor diet and physical inactivity and which disproportionately affect low-income communities and communities of color.
Working together to improve access to healthy food and places for physical activity, we can strengthen our communities, reinvigorate local economies, reduce health care costs and address historical inequities so that all children reach their full potential.
What We Support
We work with national and local partners to transform thinking about and approaches to early food and school food, to improve community access to good food and physical activity and to shape a national movement for healthy people, healthy farms, healthy communities and healthy economies.
We support efforts to connect early child care centers, family care providers and schools with small and midsize farms, and encourage school food directors, food service companies, farmers, producers and distributors to work together to change the way we feed children in child care settings and schools.
We support community efforts to strengthen the "value chain" of local food systems from seed to table, through sustainable production, farmers markets and cooperatives, fair treatment of farmworkers and investment in local economies.
We support six Food & Fitness collaboratives across the country, which bring community organizations and residents together to create healthy places where all children thrive.
By supporting coalitions that help raise awareness, shape conversations and develop leaders, we foster collaboration among partners, strengthen the capacity of national advocacy groups and amplify Food & Community issues.
