No. 118: New Mexico State
By Paul Myerberg // May 4, 2011
How much patience can a program have? When it's New Mexico State, one can only hope the standards are low enough where one, two, three seasons of clumsiness are not grounds for a dismissal – especially when the coach is DeWayne Walker, who has a high enough profile where he'd be hired elsewhere within days of being served his walking papers. Not that the Aggies are a sleeping giant, but when I think of patience I think of Virginia Tech, which survived a 24-40-2 start under Frank Beamer from 1987-92 but since 1993 has won at least 10 games 12 times. That's not in the cards for Walker and N.M.S.U., if only for the reason that he'd be hired elsewhere after one 10-win season, if not merely a .500 season.

Last year's prediction
It will take time for DeWayne Walker to get New Mexico State into the top third of the WAC, and no one is expecting any miracles. The offense as a whole, even with three returning on a pretty good line, will struggle to score points this season; even with a good secondary, the defense is not good enough to keep the Aggies in most games. So it doesn't look good for New Mexico State in Walker's second season. Still, there are things to like. But the Aggies simply don't have the horses to compete in the WAC, and surely not to play with the B.C.S. conference opponents on the schedule. The coach is there, however. I really believe that.
2010 recap
In a nutshell Say one thing for Walker: he owns the Rio Grande Rivalry. His Aggies are now 2-0 against Mike Locksley's Lobos, 3-20 against the rest of the world, a rivalry record that keeps some fans happy but an overall mark that screams for increased competitiveness for the sake of job security. Last fall, the two teams N.M.S.U. defeated on the year combined for two wins; U.N.M. finished 1-11, San Jose State 1-12, and the Spartans' lone win came against an F.C.S. opponent. Against the teams that weren't terrible, the Aggies were, well, terrible. There was only a five-point loss to Utah State, but each of the remaining nine losses came by at least 21 points — four came by at least 32 points. So there's room for improvement.
High point The 16-14 win over New Mexico. It was not impressive, not in the least, just more impressive than a 29-27 victory over San Jose State. Let's be honest: neither were wins to write home about.
Low point No one expects N.M.S.U. to beat Boise State, but a 59-0 home loss to the Broncos on Oct. 2 could very well been a 100-0 home loss had Boise State decided to play the game the same way as other national title contenders. For that — for calling off the dogs — Walker should be eternally grateful. There were three very, very good teams in the WAC last fall: Boise State, Nevada and Hawaii. The trio combined to outscore the Aggies by 170-30.
Tidbit How rare was Davon House's fourth-round selection in last weekend's N.F.L. draft? It had been eight years since New Mexico State had any player drafted; Siddeeq Shabazz went in the seventh round to Oakland in 2003. How long had it been since the Aggies had a pick go as high as the fourth round? Try 1988, when defensive end Joseph Campbell was taken in the fourth by the San Diego Chargers. In all, the program has had only five players go as high as 131st overall — where House was taken — since 1976: Duriel Harris went 80th overall in '76; Walt Williams went 42nd in 1977; Cliff Olander went 128th in '77; Fredd Young went 76th in 1984; and then Campbell in '88.
Tidbit (shirts edition) You've heard of a redshirt: that's when a player sits out a season, whether for physical, medical, personal reasons or otherwise, and retains a year of eligibility. You've probably caught wind of the grayshirt, when a player signs in one recruiting class but doesn't enroll until the following semester — signs in February of 2010, enrolls in January of 2011 — and thereby counts for the following year's recruiting totals. Make sense? Here's a new word for the lexicon, previously unknown to me: blueshirt, which according to New Mexico State means a prospect "that signed a National Letter of Intent in 2010 but played during the 2010 season and their signing counts against the 2011 signing class." That makes absolutely no sense to me, unfortunately. So a recruit was signed in 2010, played in 2010 yet counts towards the 2011 signing class?

DeWayne Walker (Regents College '92), 5-20 after two seasons at New Mexico State. No, the record isn't pretty. Yet such growing pains were surely to be expected in Walker's first season and should be excused even into this coming season, though perhaps not too much longer. Walker came to Las Cruces from U.C.L.A., where he served as defensive coordinator from 2006-8. Though the Bruins won only 17 games over that three-year span, Walker's defenses were typically among the best in the Pac-10, particularly against the run. Perhaps his crowning moment as the U.C.L.A. defensive coordinator came in the 2006 regular-season finale, when the Bruins defeated then-No. 2 ranked U.S.C., 13-9, in the season's biggest upset. That 2006 season, his first, saw U.C.L.A. allow nearly half as many touchdowns as the season before (27 from 48), a monumental improvement. Walker has extensive experience on the college level as both a coordinator and position coach, serving in the latter capacity at U.S.C. (2001-2), California (1996-97), Oklahoma State (1995), B.Y.U. (1994) and Utah State (1993). Early returns in Las Cruces have been positive, though not in the win column. Walker's teams play hard, his tenure seems have direction and there is no general apathy from the fan base, as there was during the last days of Hal Mumme, but Walker needs to put together a more competitive product on the field.
Tidbit (coaching edition) Three years, three offensive coordinators. Walker's first offensive mastermind was Timm Rosenbach back in 2009; he was followed by Mike Dunbar last fall; who has since been replaced by former Kent State coach Doug Martin. One note on Dunbar: he resigned, wasn't fired, but waited until March to do so. Why? Maybe it had something to do with the fact that the offense struggled, but it likely had much more to do with the $80,000 paycheck — that's small for this level of football, though not chump change. I'm not sure what N.M.S.U. will pay Martin, but he's an upgrade.
Players to watch
I shook my head at the time. Andrew Manley was a very nice recruit for a school like New Mexico State: the 2009 Gatorade Player of the Year in Hawaii and a talented quarterback at a real position of need for the Aggies, it was somewhat surprising to see Manley end up in Las Cruces, not with the Warriors. That's not why I was shaking my head; I was shaking my head upon seeing Manley thrust too quickly into action last fall, when he tossed six interceptions against a single touchdown while completing only slightly more than 50 percent of his attempts.
It was a good move in hindsight. Manley made four starts under center last fall, sharing time with senior Matt Christian, and while he struggled, his experience will be far more useful than any redshirt season. As we enter the summer, it's pretty clear that Manley's physical gifts have given him a distinctive edge over Christian in the quarterback competition. He's young and will continue to make mistakes, but Walker and the Aggies should be excited about what Manley brings to the table.
There's reason to believe the running game — and yes, we'll believe it when we see it — will finally take a step forward in 2011. Not a mammoth step forward, mind you, but maybe, just maybe, the Aggies can average 130 yards per game on the ground. And maybe, just maybe, net 10 rushing scores. Why the reason for such unbridled optimism? Because of the experience returning along the offensive line, of course. The Aggies bring back bookend tackles Davonte Wallace, a sophomore, and Aundre McGaskey, a senior. Another senior, Mike Grady, returns for another year at center. Junior Maveau Heimuli is back at guard, though he might move to the left side. And after missing most of last season due to injury, senior Sioeli Fakalata — get your mind out of the gutter — returns at right guard. This is good. Depth? Perhaps not so much.
Seth Smith is gone, so the Aggies' running game will rely on Kenny Turner and Robert Clay, who led the team in rushing yards and yards per carry, respectively. Turner is also a valuable asset in the receiving game; he led all returning players with 25 receptions last fall. Clay was one of the stars of the spring game, leading N.M.S.U. with 52 yards rushing, while junior Victor Johnson added another 36 yards. Going three deep here would be nice.
It's rare that the Aggies produce a draft pick, as noted above, so losing cornerback Davon House is the main storyline surrounding this defense. How good was House? He went toe-to-toe with the WAC's best, more than holding his own, and leaves a huge hole in the N.M.S.U. secondary. Who steps up? No one. No returning player can replace House, and the New Mexico State pass defense will suffer mightily because of it.
At least Jonte Green is back, though with all due respect to Green, a former JUCO transfer entering his third year in the starting lineup, he's no House. But he's now the leader at cornerback, and will need to make the sort of plays commensurate with his new role. So he takes over on the other side? It could be senior Donyae Coleman, though that would involve moving him out of his starting free safety spot. If Walker wants to keep Coleman at safety, he could move sophomore Darien Johnson — House's backup in 2010 — up into the starting lineup. That's a good option: Coleman would strengthen the back end of the defense at free safety, Johnson and Green will play cornerback and sophomores Justin Smith and George Callender can battle it out to replace Alphonso Powell at strong safety.
What of the interior of the defensive line? Replacing John Finau on the nose will be a massive task. It doesn't help matters that his backup, off-and-on starter Kawika Shook, was also a senior. The good news: Shook was replaced at tackle midway through last season by sophomore Augafa Vaaulu, who steadies the inside of the defensive line. There remains a hole at nose tackle, with junior Tommy Stuart as the heftiest and most game-tested option. There are really no worries at end, where the Aggies bring back starters Pierre Fils and Donte Savage. Fils was more productive in 2009 than he was a year ago, but as a three-year starter, he's invaluable. Keep an eye on senior David Niumatalolo, who will have a role on passing downs. He tied Fils for the spring game lead with three sacks.
Two starters return at linebacker: Boyblue Aoelua — one of the great names in college football — and B.J. Adolpho finished two-three on the team in tackles, slightly ahead of departed strong side linebacker Frank Padilla. His vacant spot remains a key position for N.M.S.U., which wants to stand taller against the run. Walker went to the JUCO ranks to sign Alexander LaVoy, and while he won't be with the team until the summer, he's an intriguing option.
Position battle(s) to watch
Wide receivers and tight ends Gone are Marcus Allen and Kyle Nelson, the Aggies' two leading receivers a year ago. Back are a handful of juniors and senior accustomed to secondary roles, such as Taveon Rogers and Todd Lee, both of whom must step up to help speed up Manley's development. It would be a shame, after all, if Manley proves capable of playing quarterback in the WAC yet has no one capable of making plays in the passing game. He may have a guy in Rogers, who led the Aggies in yards per catch last fall (15.4 yards). There was a relationship there during the recent spring game: Rogers led all Aggies with 100 receiving yards, with the highlight a 29-yard scoring grab from Manley. Replacing Nelson at tight end will prove more difficult; 40-catch tight ends are hard to come by anywhere, and even if David Quiroga — a converted linebacker — can be a red zone threat, it's hard to see any one tight end duplicating Nelson's production. The bottom line for New Mexico State's pass-catchers: it's essential that they someone — or two, or three — players step up in order to give Manley something to work with.
Game(s) to watch
Once again, games against San Jose State and the Lobos look to provide the best chance at victory. Not that the Aggies, with a little improvement, can't sneak past Ohio, Idaho or Utah State, however.
Season breakdown & prediction
In a nutshell It's vital that the Aggies get road wins over the Lobos and Spartans, as losses to that pair would virtually guarantee another double-digit loss season. In fact, an 0-2 mark against those two would raise the specter of a 12-loss season, thanks to the 13-game schedule, and set Walker up with a must-win 2012 campaign. So what needs to happen in order for New Mexico State to break through its recent slide? Manley must be the answer at quarterback: he looks like a nice prospect, but he'll still be learning on the fly come September. The offensive line, as experienced as it has been in Las Cruces in years, must help produce a consistent running game. The defensive line needs to replace Finau and the secondary replace House, but I'm not confident that the defense can do either. I'm not altogether confident that this season will see the Aggies fare much better in the win column, in fact, though I don't think that should necessarily place Walker's job in jeopardy. Yes, it should put him on a warmer seat heading into 2012, but it's not as if he had — or still has — a full deck to work with. Let's give him another year.
Dream season Finally, N.M.S.U. shows some life: 6-7, 5-3 in the WAC.
Nightmare season The Aggies cut another win off their total, dropping from three in 2009 and two a year ago to a single victory this fall.

Who is No. 117? If you combined the leading rushing totals from the 2009 and 2010 versions of tomorrow's team, you'd be roughly halfway towards the total by the program's rushing leader in 2008.

I'll take a stab at who's number 117. The Lobos of New Mexico. Rodney Ferguson put up over 1100 yards in the 2008 season and they were 1-11 last season. 117 sounds about right.
Many years ago I met a former NMSU coach at an early Alamo Bowl. He explained that the program was cursed as a result of the administration's decision to force Coach Warren Woodson to retire ,against his will, at age 65 in the Sixties. Woodson was 63 -36 in Las Cruces.
Rodney Ferguson put up 1,105 yards in 2008. The leading rushers in 2009 and 2010 had 427 and 334 yards, respectively. I'd say 761 is more than "roughly halfway" to 1,105, and on that basis #117 is not the Lobos.
It's a subjective term. It's very rough but I can see the lobos meeting the criteria. I think Kenneth got it.
I'm going with Buffalo. They just couldn't replace the production of Super Bowl Champion running back James Starks.
The Warren Wodson curse is part of the lore.
It is known parochially as 'the curse of the Woody'.
The Woodson teams may not have been world beaters, but he did put together a perfect season with a bowl victory and national ranking. But we lament that was fifty years ago.
Every year before football season I read this article:
just as a reality check.
My favorite quote about Woodson:
"I don't know how a man can sound that mean without cussin'."
Ball State?
I suffer from an altogether different "curse of the Woody"!
Also I'll guess San Jose State.
Oh, and you have Neils Bohr way too low!
FWIW and after extensive googling, the term "blueshirt" is used at only one other school, and that is at Cal. Since they hate all that is red… they use blueshirt to mean redshirt.
Blueshirt as NMSU is using it seems to contradict NCAA rules.
Thanks for the link and info GonzoAggie. I admire your perseverance and good luck to your team.

Pennsylvania's Voter ID Law Struck Down
|0 Comments
Pennsylvania's law requiring voters to show photo identification at the polls is unconstitutional, a state court judge has ruled in striking down the controversial measure.
Six months after the second trial challenging the law, Commonwealth Court Judge Bernard L. McGinley has entered a permanent injunction against its enforcement.
"Voting laws are designed to assure a free and fair election; the voter ID law does not further this goal," McGinley said in his lengthy opinion, issued as not reported.
Since the Republican-led legislature passed the law, called Act 18, in the run-up to the 2012 presidential election, it has yet to be fully enforced. Almost immediately after its passage, the American Civil Liberties Union, along with other public-interest legal organizations, brought a challenge to the law and it has remained in various states of suspension since then as the challenge to it volleyed between state courts.
The Corbett administration hasn't indicated whether or not it will appeal the decision.
"We continue to evaluate the opinion and will shortly determine whether post-trial motions are appropriate," said James D. Schultz, general counsel of the commonwealth, in a statement Friday.
The Office of General Counsel said it would have no immediate comment beyond that.
It is, however, widely expected that the Corbett administration will appeal McGinley's decision on the measure. Gov. Tom Corbett is a Republican; the measure has been widely criticized by Democrats.
McGinley explained he would assess the law's constitutionality, "anticipating appellate review."
"Reviewing the voter ID law on its face, it does not pass constitutional muster because there is no legal, non-burdensome provision of a compliant photo ID to all qualified electors," McGinley said.

NUMBER 132. ATLANTA, GEORGIA. DECEMBER, 1902. Suggestions. The Negro is often advised to postpone higher education until he has achieved material prosperity. That is something like telling him to build a mansion first and study architecture afterwards. Material prosperity is to some extent the product of brawn and skill. It is to a still greater extent the product of brawn and aspiration: Most Negroes today have muscle enough and skill enough and opportunity enough to achieve much more material prosperity than they now have. The chief causes of their failure are ignorance and lack of ambition. % One. great advantage of the higher education is that it makes a Negro "discontented with his lot." When did a race or an individual ever make progress without becoming discontented with the present lot and aspiring to a better one? Telling the Negro to make progress first and indulge in aspiration afterwards is like expecting the passenger and baggage cars of a train to move on unaided, in the hope of having the locomotive attached by and by. Higher education is as necessary a locomotive for the Negro as for any other race And a fine thing about it is that it fakes only one engineer and one fireman to furnish motive power for several hundred passengers. If you expect the Negro to "move on," you must first give him the vision of some better place to arrive at. Then the desire to "get there" will stimulate motion. If his desire is only for a little more hog and hominy or the pleasures of a cake-walk, he will not have to move far, and his feet will easily carry him. If you expect him to reach a remoter and higher good, you must put at his service the locomotive of the higher education with its far-shining headlight and more effective motive power. Some people say to the Negro, sub-, stantially: "Seek ye first what ye shall eat, what ye shall drink, and wherewithal ye shall be clothed, and the kingdom of Heaven shall be added unto you." But what did the Master say? For statement of the work of At-lan'a University see last page. TWO BOOKS BY AN A. U. GRADUATE. Rev. Silas X. Floyd ('91) is the author of two books that have appeared during the present year. One is a volume of sermons, published by the American Baptist Publication Society, and named, from the subject of the first sermon, The Gospel of Service. They are largely sermons that were preached by Mr. Floyd while he was pastor of the Tabernacle Baptist Church in Augusta. They are brief, pointed, and altogether admirable. The other book, published by the National Baptist Publication Board, is a life of Charles T. Walker, D. D. Dr. Walker is now pastor of Mount Olive Baptist church in New York city, and is a well known pulpit orator, platform lecturer, and writer. He has in Mr. Floyd, who is now his assistant pastor, an able and appreciative biographer. Mr. Floyd is also writing poetry, having had poems appear recently in the Independent and Lippincott's. He is also writing for the Youth's Companion and the Sunday School Times. We wish for Mr. Floyd the best of success in his literary work. THE DOOR OF HOPE. President Roosevelt's letter of Nov. 26, called out by opposition to a proposed political appointment in Charleston, S. C., states most admirably what ought to be the true position towards any class of citizens. We quote a part: "I do not intend to appoint any unfit man to office. So far as I legitimately can I shall always endeavor to pay regard to the wishes and feelings of the people of each locality; but 1 cannot consent to take the position that the door of hope—the door of opportunity—is to be shut upon any man, no matter how worthy, purely upon the grounds of race and color. Such an attitude would, according to my convictions, be fundamentally wrong. If, as you hold, the great bulk of the colored people are not yet fit in point of character and influence to hold such positions, it seems to me that it is worth while putting a premium upon the effort to achieve the character and standing which will fit them..... "The question raised by you and Mr.------- in the statements to which I refer is simply whether it is to be declared that under no. circumstances shall any man of color, no matter how upright and honest, no matter how good a citizen, no matter how fair in his dealings with all his fellows, be permitted to hold any office under our government. I certainly cannot assume such an attitude, and you must permit me to say that in my view it is an attitude no man should assume, whether he looks at it from the standpoint of the true interest of the white man of the south or of the colored man of the south—not to speak of any other section of the union. It seems to me that it is a good thing from every standpoint to let the colored man know that if he shows in marked degree the qualities of good citizenship—the qualities which in a white man we feel are entitled to reward—then he will not be cut off from all hope of similar reward." Is it possible that there can be the best development anywhere, for any people, if the "door of nope" is closed against that people? We are not specially interested in individual cases, whether or not a particular colored man shall receive a special federal appointment. But we are interested in the great principle, that every class of citizens should have set before them the possibility of realizing the noblest ideals. As President Roosevelt would not take away from the American Negro the "door of hope" in civic matters, so we feel most strongly that it ought not to be taken away in educational matters. It is for this that Atlanta University stands. We would have open to the colored citizens, as well as to the white, the very best that is possible. And as far as it is in our power, in our own sphere of educational action, we shall endeavor to hold open to them this "door of hope." In the state of Georgia, according to the last census, 52.3% of the colored people were illiterate, or 379,156 out of 724,305. The illiteracy was greater in the country than in the cities, being 38.6% in the cities. In this issue of the Bulletin we give a brief sketch of the lives of four of our graduates, who have passed away since our last memorial meeting. We wish that these useful lives might have been spared to longer service. But the thought of what they have done is encouraging, and the memories that they leave behind are blessed.

More basic than I expected. It would have helped if the description had told the level of training it is giving. Showing a large number minutes of guitarist and how they want their guitar setup is a little much.
As usual, Mr. Erlewine takes you through many different points at a good pace. Very easy to watch. I've only recently started working on my guitars. Now when friends pick them up always they comment about the great setup and ask where I had it done. It is fun to be able to say 'I did it myself':) I could not have done it with out the tools and training I've found at Stewart-Mac Donald.
Well I bought the DVD's and studied the books and finally got the nerve to try my own fret job. After buying the right tools, fret bender etc., I am the proud owner of a kit Tele with the frets I really like. If you take your time and do your homework Dan steers you in the right direction...couldn't be happier with the results
This DVD is great for beginner luthiers, which are afraid to start doing more expensive and rare guitars. Dan shows you everything with lots of patience and nice talking.
would have given 5 stars, but did not discuss the floyd rose saddle numbering system and how the radius is built into the saddles. At $50, should have covered this. Overall, happy with the purchase.
I love watching Dan, he reminds me allot of Norm Abrams (New Yankee Workshop) with his easy going demeanor, clear concise instructions and of coarse his master craftsmanship and attention to detail! I think these two DVD's are a must have for any electric guitar or Bass owner, but I'm glad most don't get them cause it will mean money to me in the near future. :) I actually own these two DVD's Dan's book How to make your electric guitar play great, and the Guitar Player Repair Guide and will recommend them all. Yes there will be some overlap but there are times when the books cover something better than the DVD's and vice verse. After getting them watch them over and over you will find that you will learn something new each time!!!
I always like Dan's books. He is full of tips learned from his years of experience. Being able to see him put these techniques in action on a video is the best.
Absolutely fantastic videos Dan! The most interesting elements were your workshop innovations,but more importantly your sheer wisdom makes my investment in you a no-brainer... Stew Mac, your service is UNBEATABLE!!!
This DVD set #1,2 is a great way to get some hands on time no matter if you are doing repair and setup as a hobby or want to learn more in depth techniques to make this your career of choice. like me:) great job Dan
Dan Erlewine takes his years of knowledge and applies them to these DVD lessons.
I will definitely be buying more in the future.

Jill Stuart
2010 September 12
Runway Reviews: Lacoste, Jill Stuart, Charlotte Ronson, Z Spoke by Zac Posen
Getty Images View Gallery
Like the origins of Lacoste, Spring 2011 was Bauhaus-inspired sporty and chic, with a very minimal yet French sensibility of living the good life. Christophe Lemaire worked with the usual cotton tricot and terrycloth in a warm and sunny palette of brown, blood red, and orange with short shorts, micro minis, raglan and Kimono-sleeved cover-ups and jumpsuits. To add a bit of humor and irony he introduced the summer legwarmer: terry cloth wristbands on the ankles paired with ankle-wrap sandals. For men, he stayed true to the brand's preppy heritage, showing seersucker and lightweight suiting material on tailored jackets and pegged stovetop and flood cropped pants.
Expect your spring to be a very white one. A majority of Jill Stuart's Spring 2011 collection featured white silk with black graphic prints or trim, dreamed up on blouses and dresses. Curved leather skirts and shorts in black were overshadowed by white silk t-shirts. If you're brave enough to venture into color, then might we suggest a navy silk duponi cape with bold shoulders? We caught a glimpse of Jill herself wearing some pretty great boots backstage, and the same nude patent leather and black cap-toe boots were on the feet of every model.
Charlotte Ronson isn't afraid to get a little grungy, and she reveled in all things '90s for her Spring 2011 collection. A big proponent of the slouch-appeal, Ronson's offerings were loose and relaxed—nothing too form-fitting. Calling on the early 1990s, denim vests, oversized striped sweaters and floral frocks looked as if they might have been plucked out of Blossom's closet. Even the camisole over t-shirt look made an appearance once or twice, although Ronson also catered to a current-day girl with silk rompers and ruffled skirts that were both feminine and updated.
No more 9 a.m. timeslot at the Altman Building! Zac Posen returned to the tents this season, but this time to debut his Z Spoke by Zac Posen collection. Pre-show, Posen was his usual gesticulating and effervescent self, exclaiming, "I'm feeling major. Over the past year we've built a new brand, a new direction and a new American look." True to form, Posen offered something for a plethora of personas, a look for whatever color your moodring may be. Strawberry print gowns and fruit cocktail blouses were bright and frothy, although Posen was sure not to leave out those who aren't quite bold enough to try a kitschy print: Hilary Rhoda closed out the show in a simple black crepe jersey gown.

This Is Not The Blog.
Very soon there will be a blog post from Tarol Hunt (Thunt), explaining what's happened and what's going on with the Goblins updates. This is not that blog.
Very soon there will be a blog post from Tarol Hunt (Thunt), explaining what's happened and what's going on with the Goblins updates. This is not that blog.
As always, thanks for reading (and keeping me company on the live feed).
"When is Goblins: Alternate Realities coming out?"
Short answer… Everyone who backed, should have the game by June.
Longer answer…
I remember testing the G:AR card game with Evertide Games at Gencon last year. I was so nervous that people would hate the game or walk away bored or worst of all, not even show up to play it. However, I was delighted to find that not only did our player spots quickly fill up, but we had to create extra seats, which also filled up.
Everybody enjoyed the game and many of the players wanted to play again. I was very happy. However, Richard James (the main designer of the game) wasn't as excited. He explained to me that while watching people play G:AR, he'd noticed a number of unbalanced rules that could be exploited by players. Some of these details were easily fixed, but some of them went deep into the heart of the game and would require some hefty redesigns.
Well those redesigns are finished and now it's just a matter of finishing the final details, printing out and shipping the massive amount of boxes and loot. I'm really proud of the quality, talent and amount of work that's been pumped into this project and I honestly can't wait for you guys to play it.
As a thank you for your patience, Evertide is adding a set of Not-Walter character and action cards to the game for all the backers.
If you have any other questions, feel free to send me a tweet and I'll answer what I can.
As always, thanks for reading.

What's new?
I've been away for a while and I needed it. My priorities in the past 6 months have shifted pretty drastically from the last few years "hacking, blogging, hacking, blogging". It was a long overdue shift to grow in new ways, form new relationships, and rediscover old hobbies. So, here's the latest:
I Love Smash Brothers
For years, traditional competitive sports haven't clicked for me. I compare myself to others reflexively but avoid active competition. I'm trying to compare myself to others less, bad habits die hard. But I encountered a documentary series about Smash Brothers back in October and was reminded that a video game is the one place I've found competition fun, win or lose.
It's crazy how much free time I've spent since then learning about a game I'd already put a few thousand hours into in college. There is incredible depth to the game and while I grant that calling a video gamer an "athlete" sounds ridiculous on its face, I now believe eSports are deserving of a mainstream audience even if they never find it.
Personally, I'm enjoying getting better at the game and learning to be patient with my own progress. I've gained some appreciation for how people get so excited about traditional sports. I'd strongly encourage you to watch the first episode of the documentary if you have any interest in competitive gaming whatsoever, even if you think the very notion silly.
I Love Electronic Music
I've told myself for a long time that I would try to make music one day. I've played the guitar and the drums though am self-taught at both and never got serious enough to develop a real aptitude. I also have a long held love of electronic music, particularly sample-based wizardry such as Amon Tobin's Supermodified.
I'm finally pursuing this passion. I've purchased a copy of an old-school "tracker-style" software called Renoise. While I'm not composing actual songs yet, I've been greatly enjoying sampling music and video games from my youth and constructing odd melodies and instruments. I've also been learning the basics of sound synthesis from my friend, Matt Simpson. Sound design is a crazy, crazy thing.
I Love My Job
I've been working for Emcien since May and it's been a great environment to grow as a software engineer. Aside from me, there are 5 engineers and I've been able to pair with people to quickly get up to speed on the products and learn new tools and techniques. In particular, I've enjoyed doing my first serious C hacking ever on the engine that powers Emcien's data analytics products.
I've also spent a huge amount of time this year with my beautiful girlfriend, Norma, and her two dogs. I've tried to see friends in town a bit more, I've played video games and read sci-fi novels a bit more. I'm remembering what leisure feels like and I have no regrets. I still want to finish the Lisp NES emulator and other projects but I'm branching out for a little while ... and my timeframe is flexible. Good luck with your 2014.
I'm still on a break from recreational programming. I've been gaming a bit to remember why I was writing an Emulator in the first place and got the idea for this article. Here are 16 games that left a major impression on me (and 4 honorary mentions) presented in something close to Autobiographical order:
Elementary School:
Middle School:
- Command & Conquer: Red Alert -- also, Starcraft
- Pokemon Blue
- The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
- Final Fantasy VIII
High School:
- Metal Gear Solid
- Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 -- also, Thrasher: Skate & Destroy
- Gran Turismo 2
- Freelancer -- also, Descent: Freespace
- Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri
- Super Smash Bros -- also, Super Smash Bros Brawl
- Ratchet & Clank
Certainly there have been other titles/series I've enjoyed putting hours into: Naughty Dog's Uncharted, Bethesda's Skyrim, Borderlands, and so on. But the above are the games which uniquely effected me. Each holds special nostalgic value, many represent discovery of a genre or fictional setting that I've come to love. Hell, the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater series got me skateboarding in real life and I'm not sure I would have owned an Acura NSX if not for Gran Turismo.
It would be fun to do a similar list for Movies (would I have become a programmer without Hackers?) or Music. I'll call this good for now. :)
My Recent Absence
You may have noticed it has been two months since I've done any serious hacking on my open source projects. That is no accident. It has been a little over 5 years since I decided that programming would be my future.
That decision worked out far better than I could have hoped. I find programming immensely rewarding and, for someone who has only been doing it for 5 years, I think I'm doing reasonably well. I have a steady job that I'm happy with and rewarding friends and hobbies.
But I'm tired. I'm stepping back and trying to take stock of how I use my time at a high level. I'm not micro-optimizing. I'm asking, for the first time in quite a while, how I want to divy up what free time I have and what my priorities are. I'm not sure when I'll come back to programming. I am sure that when I do, my focus and enjoyment of it will be improved. But there is so much I want to do besides code.
It's been a big year. I had two jobs before my present one. I briefly had a supercar. I started a new relationship for the first time since 2007. So perhaps it is no surprise that I haven't found as much time for hacking. That other forms of creation have fallen by the wayside a bit.
I miss the huge chunks of time I had in college. I want to both consume and create. To consume music, video games, MOOC courses, books I've been meaning to read for ages. To create code, mixtapes, music of my own, and who knows what else. But even though its hard to think of all that I get done versus all that I want to do and each weekend flies by like a screaming jet, I have to admit that things are going pretty well.

This will be the last post about emulation that doesn't involve graphics or disassembly of old NES games, I promise. cl-6502 0.9.5 is out and, in my testing with SBCL, pretty snappy. The book has received updates and is also available on lulu. Below is the 'Lessons Learned - Common Lisp' chapter:
Structures can be preferable to classes
Structures are much more static than classes. They also enforce their slot types. When you have a solid idea of the layout of your data and really need speed, they're ideal.
CLOS is fast enough
CLOS, for single-dispatch at least, is really quite fast. When I redesigned the emulator to avoid a method call for every memory read/write, my benchmark only ran ~10% faster. I eventually chose to stick with the new scheme for several reasons, performance was only a minor factor.
Destructuring is more expensive than you think
My second big speedup came, indirectly, from changing the arguments to the
opcode lambdas. By having the opcode only take a single argument, the CPU, I
avoided the need to destructure the opcode metadata in
step-cpu. You don't
want to destructure a list in your inner loop, no matter how readable it is!
Eval-when is about data more than code
That is, the times I found myself using it always involved computing data at
compile-time that would be stored or accessed in a later phase. E.g. I used
it to ensure that the status-bit enum was created for use by
set-flags-if and
*mode-bodies* variable was bound in time for
defaddress. Regardless,
try to go without it if possible.
Use DECLAIM (and DECLARE) wisely
DECLAIM is for global declarations and DECLARE is for local ones. Once you've
eked out as many algorithmic gains as possible and figured out your hotspots with
the profiler, recompile your code with
(declaim (optimize speed)) to see what
is keeping the compiler from generating fast code. Letting the compiler know the
FTYPE of your most called functions and inlining a few things can make a big
cl-6502 0.9.4
I haven't been doing any hacking on coleslaw or famiclom for the last month. I've been focused almost entirely on my 6502 CPU emulator. In particular, I've been optimizing it and turning it into a "readable program".
The optimizations have gone swimmingly, taking cl-6502 from 3.8 emulated mhz circa May 1st (commit eecfe7) to 29.3 emulated mhz today (commit b729e8).(0) A factor of 8 speedup feels pretty good though it would be fun to coax more speed out later.
(0): All figures obtained with SBCL 1.1.4 on Debian 64-bit on an old Thinkpad X200. See this 6502 forum post.
I feel that the readability of the program has remained, maybe even improved, through all that optimization. The same overall design is in place; most refactorings were, approximately, tweaking macros and their callsites. The readability is especially improved when the code is broken into chapters, each with an introduction for context, and typeset with LaTeX. The latter is done thanks to a simple Makefile and some very nifty code swiped from Luke Gorrie's snabbswitch. If you've been curious about how cl-6502 is implemented or just wanted to dive in, there's never been a better time. Grab the book!
NES + Lisp + Static Analysis = ?
I'm still planning to make famiclom a full NES emulator. I won't consider it done until I can play Mega Man 2 with it. Hopefully using a USB controller. It doesn't make much sense for Lisp in Summer Projects though. I've already started the project, the scope is ill-defined, and I want to work on something fresh and new to me. So I've come up with a project that I can't possibly complete instead. It'll be great!
In short, I intend to rewrite Super Mario Bros 1. ... in a not-yet-existing lisp-like macro-assembler/incredibly simple compiler. I already have a 6502 assembler/disassembler in cl-6502 and a tool to parse NES roms in romreader. There's also a very thorough annotated disassembly of Super Mario Bros floating around. I've got a good start on a static analyzer that will take the SMB binary and an entry point and try to build a CFG of the game. The current scheme won't work with memory mapped titles but it's good enough for Mario.
Wild Speculation
Once I have a graph representation of Mario Bros, I'll try both manual analysis of the annotated disassembly with a pen and pad, and automated analysis on the graph using Lisp. I'll try to find as many idioms and patterns as possible to condense and improve readability of the code. Then, somewhere in early August, I'll start trying to rewrite the source and see how far I can get.
This approach is probably completely: insane, unworkable, unviable, inadvisable, and just all around wrong. But I think I'll have fun and learn something, so it's good enough for me. And hell, who knows, maybe I'll get lucky and be able to attend ECLM next year. :)
Every. Single. Time.
Installing linux on a Mac never manages to be pleasant. I always remember, "Oh, yeah. I got this to work before." and dive in cheerily only to shortly recoil at what a fucking nightmare it is.
These days I use crunchbang, a very clean Debian-based distro. It's hard to even know who to be mad at. You'd think the installer would just detect the EFI/GPT stuff and "do the right thing" by now. Or be able to resize HFS+ partitions.
Out of Desperation
For whatever reason, I had to resort to this:
Resize OS X with Disk Utility to 50% of the current partition size.
Install rEFInd as rEFIt is now deprecated/unmaintained.
Burn a CD (!!!) since EFI doesn't want to boot from unrecognized USB drives.
Boot from the CD and install linux to the freespace.
When prompted to install the bootloader, install it on the linux partition, not the disk!
Do whatever it takes to get a linux command prompt, rescue disk, whatever. Mount the new install at /target.
mount -o bind /dev /target/dev mount -o bind /sys /target/sys mount -o bind /proc /target/proc chroot /target
Now you can actually do useful things, like fix the broken fucking bootloader! Note that you may need to
ifconfig eth0 up && dhclient eth0for network access.
Install and use gptsync on the drive with the linux partition:
apt-get update && apt-get install gptsync && gptsync /dev/sda
Reboot and pray.
In Conclusion
Now your glorious Linux distro should boot on your "is-it-designed-not-to-work-with-a-single-fucking-Open-Source-thing?" Mac. Of course, you may need to apt-get remove the busted radeon drivers and add xforcevesa to the linux invocation in your /boot/grub/grub.cfg and remember to always gptsync after any future update-grub operations but...yeah, fuck all these goddamned computers.
Coleslaw 0.9.2
It still amuses me that my most successful project to date is a blog engine. Not that I'm complaining about having contributors. When I last mentioned it, version 0.8 had just been released. Since then there have been 2 new contributors and a bunch of new features. I think the code has mostly improved in cleanliness.
The biggest changes are new shiny docs, a new tags implementation, cleanups to theming, and plugins for Google Analytics, Github Pages, and Sitemap Generation. For the full details, see the changelog.
My plans for 1.0 are primarily to take advantage of the extensible content types added in 0.8 and add some sort of tumblr-like auto-embedding support. But I probably won't get around to working on that for a spell. Why?
Other Lispiness
Because my lisp emulation experiment/art project is ongoing. Nyef was kind enough to share some code he'd hacked up for NES emulation years ago and it helped give me the motivation to rewrite famiclom's PPU (Graphics Card). The former code was largely cribbed from Patrick Walton's sprocketnes and I didn't understand it very well. I've hit the nesdev wiki again and am getting more comfortable with the PPU's actual workings. The code is on github in the
new-ppu branch and I'm hoping to spend more time on it this coming week.
I also spent the last week porting cl-6502 to clojurescript for giggles. Heresy, I know. ;)
cljs-6502 is in a basic working state but there are bugs aplenty and I haven't implemented the assembler or disassembler. The must frustrating part was dealing with A) differences in macro hygiene and B) poor macro debugging facilities.
The browser is a fun target though. I'll have to try parenscript or ... jscl! JSCL is a full CL->JS compiler in early development, which I contributed a tiny patch to for
fboundp. It's a great project and if you have any interest in helping implement a lisp, I'd encourage you to get involved. The maintainers are very approachable and there's plenty of fun hacking to be had.
All for now. It's time to play around trying static analysis of Nintendo ROMs with Lisp. I'm bound to learn something...hopefully.
A Recent Obsession
"I pretended to work like others from morning to evening,
but I was absent, dedicated to invisible countries."
- Czeslaw Milosz, Nonadaptation
When I started programming, I quickly became fascinated by a question that many of us ponder at some point. Why isn't there a 'best' programming language that makes it simple to express our thoughts and intents to both each other and the machine? That transformed over time into a different question, "Why is programming so hard", but that still wasn't quite right. I think I've finally settled on the real question which is, "Why is modern software so incomprehensible?"
On Modern Software Systems
"As far as his own weak head is concerned, the thought of what huge heads
everyone must have in order to have such huge thoughts is already enough."
- Soren Kierkegaard, Fear and Trembling
I recently informally looked at the size of my software. The answer was predictably both bewildering and unsettling. The day-to-day software I use is comprised of about 35 million lines of source code.
All of that software is free and works well. By that measure alone, we might judge software engineering a success. It is popular in some circles to rail against software engineering methodologies and, often, modern software as well. We must acknowledge, however, that the demands placed on modern software far exceed the demands placed on the software of yesteryear.
This is also reflected in the way we teach Computer Science now. For example, MIT's new undergraduate curriculum shifts focus towards building systems with unreliable, incompletely understood components. The fact that we can build software this way points to a culture of library reuse as our chief abstraction rather than the humble function.
Defining Comprehensibility
"When you have a problem with X, have you pulled up the X server internals?
Have you dug into the problems with your drivers?
No, because the kernel is 10 million lines of code and the only way in is grep!
Fuck that, that's not helping me."
- Brit Butler, Wanting Types, Demanding Mirrors (video coming soon)
But I still yearn for the days when you could conceivably understand your computer soup-to-nuts. In October, I'll have been doing "real programming" for 4 years and I still accept a large portion of the day-to-day workings of my machine as magic. How many of us really have a complete picture of what is going on under the covers? We don't wrap our heads around the workings of a 1-billion transistor processor, much less the massive body of code atop it.
I'd wager 100 kloc is the upper bound on a well-organized system I think I could mostly keep in my head. That's 2000 pages or 5 400-page volumes at 50 lines/page. While prose is very different than code this would seem to be roughly the same order of magnitude as prominent fiction series like LOTR, Harry Potter, Game of Thrones, etc.
There is a torrent of OpenGenera floating around that contains about 870 thousand lines of Lisp. It should be about 20 years old. That means my current desktop is a 40-fold increase in size over Genera. Windows 3.11 is probably bigger than Genera and the size of a Desktop OS probably hasn't doubled every 4 years for the last two decades...but it is an interesting figure.
MenuetOS is a more provocative example. Menuet is a desktop OS written exclusively in x86 assembly. There is an open source 32-bit version and a closed source 64-bit one. I haven't read it so I can't say whether or not it is comprehensible. It is only 36 kloc for the kernel and 58 kloc for the apps though. Even with limited hardware support, 94k for a graphical OS is a noteworthy point in the design space.
What I Want
"So. I ask: how many people does it take, at a minimum, to maintain
our current level of technological civilization?"
- Charlie Stross, Insufficient Data
I am explicitly not asking for a world where desktop OSes are limited, comprehensible systems over full-featured ones that can't fit in one human's head. I'm not worried about bus factors. But an Operating Systems and Hardware/Software Interface course are not enough!
I want a completely open, comprehensible system that does something cool. It doesn't have to be self-hosting. It does have to be something I can study and change, observe and modify at every level of the system. It should be something that actually shipped to consumers at one point. The absolute lack of such a system for people trying to learn frustrates and disappoints me.
My Little Contribution
"We should burn all libraries and allow to remain only
that which everyone knows by heart."
- Hugo Ball
All this is exactly why I started working on a Nintendo emulator in lisp. It's still early days but it's my forever project until it's done. 6502 emulation is done, some basic Nintendo functionality is working. Once the NES is 90% complete, I plan to try writing a simple lisp-like language that targets the NES. I'll then use that to produce an annotated, high-level reconstruction of my favorite childhood game, Mega Man 2. It is a bit ridiculous and probably overreaching but it's worth a shot. And in some way, it's the computing toy I've always wanted.
It's been a while since I posted some poetry. Since I'm pretty sure I'll need glasses in the next year, here's a piece by Milosz about eyes.
My most honorable eyes, you are not in the best of shape.
I receive from you an image that is less than sharp,
And if a color, then it's dimmed.
And you were a pack of royal greyhounds once,
With whom I would set out early mornings.
My wondrous quick eyes, you saw many things,
Lands and cities, islands and oceans.
Together we greeted immense sunrises
When the fresh air set us running on trails
Where the dew had just begun to dry.
Now what you have seen is hidden inside me
And changed into memories or dreams.
I am slowly moving away from the fairgrounds of the world
And I notice in myself a distaste
For the monkeyish dress, the screams and the drumbeats.
What a relief. To be alone with my meditation
On the basic similarity in humans
And their tiny grain of dissimilarity.
Without eyes, my gaze is fixed on one bright point,
That grows large and takes me in.

No, the Mattingly Balistk Round Handle: BTKFP Fastpitch bat will not have the most up to date stamps from ASA or USSSA.
I have a cf4 all ready and i was wondering if i could use this in the batting cages, because i cant use my other on in them. Also i dont like aluminum bats, so would a hybrid be the best for me because i love composite bats?
Really, any bat can be used in the cages, it's just recommended you have a seperate bats to use in games. This bat features a composite frame with an external alloy shell and will display good durability. This isn't full composite though, so if that's what you want, you may need to look at different bats.

Bank of America Merrill Lynch announced it has consolidated multiple systems in its Global Transaction Services business into a centralized data repository. Eliminating these silos and creating a single repository will allow BofA Merrill to offer enhanced information reporting and analytics capability to its clients who access their bank data via the CashPro Online, CashPro Connect or CashPro Mobile services, the bank said.
The centralized repository allows clients to search across all Bank of America accounts and selected accounts at other banks, while system users can now look up transactions from the previous 365 days by various fields including payee, amount and date without needing to determine which account was utilized for the transaction, according to the bank. This was previously not available.

"This reporting hub enables us to transition our information reporting services to an enhanced client-centric model," said Cindy Murray, head of Global Treasury Product Platforms and e-Channels. "Clients now have much greater control over and increased flexibility with how they want to see the data and generate reports. Their reporting details will be configurable by individual client, and can change as their own company's needs evolve with system integration and upgrades. The end result will be a movement from reporting systems to reconciliation platforms with improved visibility, flexibility and responsiveness."
