The Ashran Pre-Form Argument

As the GM of Thundering Hammer Clan I’ve been leading PvP outings of every sort for over a decade now.  We host Rateds, Arenas and randoms; We’ve set up very popular Alterac Valley pre-form encounters for our guildies and associates where we ‘reset’ AV back to its classic glory – focusing on extending the killing as long as possible.  Naturally we were very excited about Ashran when Warlords began and were equally disappointed with the many difficulties the zone encountered along the way.

In all fairness, as a guild we do think some great changes have been made to help Ashran be more fun.  The best changes are probably the extension of the timers on the events and the losers buff.  (Though MQ still needs to be extended a bit more.  It is by far the shortest of the events and can still be completed in less than two minutes.)  Making the events more easily contested is essential to the health of the zone.  Capping participation at 40 each side was probably also wise – although many of us do still crave those larger encounters with hundreds of players.  One series of changes that we think are disastrous though are the recent moves to break up groups that pre-form Ashran.

Allow me to explain.  You see we have led pre-form Ashran groups from day one.  Every change that has come down the pipe has caused us to have to adapt our group forming process, but we’ve always found a way to play together.  Whether it’s just eight of us coming in and taking leadership of a disastrous pug group, or us and 40 of our closest friends having an entire instanced zone to ourselves playing together in Ashran is something we’ve loved doing every step of the way.  In spite of the rocky history of the zone, we love it because the truth is there just aren’t that many places where you can slaughter Alliance with 20 or more of your own community members.  We hate the anonymity of the random BG queue system and even though we do Rateds and love the experience, there are just times when we want to play together with more than 10 and don’t want it to be in ranked play.  Even when it is deeply flawed, Ashran meets those needs.

Over the last six months as most of you know the Hydra group has made quite a name for themselves doing the same thing with Ashran that we’ve been doing – only they’ve used Public Vent and flung the doors open wide where we’ve mostly just stuck to our local server community, providing access for friends and neighbors who frequently like to PvP with us since we are the only really organized PvP group on our server.  We also haven’t advertised as they have.  I suspect in large part that it’s the advertisement that drew the attention of the developers and led to the recent changes.

Well a few nights ago as we were seeding Ashran to get our pre-form group together we got grouped with a Hydra team that was doing the same thing.  This was the first time that we’ve been in anything with them.  We were familiar with Hydra of course and a couple of our members have run with them but most of us had never been in a Hydra group.  I spoke with their group leader and we agreed to team up.  Thundering Hammer took up about a third of the group spots that night since we had really just gone in to test a new seeding method while Hydra ran the other two thirds.

The group was great, they did mostly the same things we do.  A couple of twists here and there that are slightly different from our method, but by and large we had a great time and met some new folks we liked.  Seeing the number of groups they were running that night though, and chatting with our own gulidies on Vent I made some observations about the recent queue changes that have been made in 6.2.2 for Ashran.

The truth is that all of Blizzard’s attempts to interfere with pre-form Ashran groups haven’t really succeeded in stopping the practice.  We’ve been pre-forming Ashran since the day it opened, and of Hydra became famous for it over the last six months.  The last three weeks though seem to have demonstrated that the changes to the queue and grouping systems do nothing to stop larger organizations like Hydra or us from doing what we do.  All it takes is patience and a willingness to throw enough bodies at the problem until the dice rolls come up in our favor.  We spent about 45 minutes last night getting the right number of people into the BG and then another ten using those anchors to get the rest in.  Hydra does the same thing.

Larger, dedicated PvP communities who have the manpower and the drive to make pre-form Ashran happen are still going to succeed. The players who have been adversely affected by Blizzard’s Ashran queue system changes are the ones in smaller communities who just want to take eight or twelve of their friends into Ashran together. They want to play together with their existing community and Blizzard has essentially said to them, “No, you can’t do this because people who can leverage fifty players to turn Ashran into a windmill full of corpses are ‘ruining’ the experience for the single-queue players.” Only the changes they make will never actually stop the people with those sorts of resources from accomplishing their goal.

Today’s WoW players are a resourceful, highly networked, highly informed bunch. They are going to develop emergent gameplay to get around your limitations and they are going to do it quicker and more broadly than ever before. And in the mean-time the only people who are going to be hurt by the changes are the ones you’re ostensibly trying to ‘protect’: the less connected, less informed, more casual players.

In Wrath of the Lich King the Blizzard developers made a controversial design decision, placing a huge emphasis on guilds. They built systems and mechanics designed to drive players into guilds. Smaller guilds became a casualty of the process as people migrated into larger communities in order to facilitate guild-wide progress in content. Multi-guild coalitions that had been very common especially on less populous servers during Classic and BC became less and less common as the anchor guilds that supported those communities became centers of gravity that the players migrated to. There were lots of complaints and valid criticisms.

The strategy worked though. In Lich King players were more social and more engaged than ever before. Subscriptions hit their peak and player time investment was at an all time high. The complaints of the people left standing on the outside still rang in the community though and it seemed to prompt a change in design focus as the team prepared for Cataclysm and beyond.

Over the course of the next three expansions Blizzard abandoned the guild focus (no more guild levels, fewer guild achievements) and began building systems designed specifically to cater to those disconnected players who were not part of a thriving guild community. Refinements to the Dungeon queue system, the introduction of LFR, the expansion of alternate means of end game progression for those who could not find their way into a larger guild or raid – all of these systems were designed with the disconnected player in mind.

The secondary (probably unintended) consequence of the growth and enhancement of these systems over the following four years was to decrease the incentive for cooperation, for membership in a vital community. It’s easier to play solo and not have to be involved in a community – and players will do anything that’s easier. It is human nature to seek out the path of least resistance. As a result – and I admit this is anecdotal, but I believe it is representative based on conversations I have had with people on multiple servers – we have more guilds full of people who don’t actually play together than ever before.

The recent decisions of the design team regarding queue systems for Ashran are indicative to me of this new overarching paradigm that has become dominant in the cubicles at Blizzard. The focus of their thought processes has been on expanding accessibility to disconnected players, making it easier for the solo player to find his or her way into group content and progress through that content in a meaningful way regardless of their relative isolation. On the surface this sounds like a laudable and noble goal but actual experience on the ground suggests that the unintended side effects of this focus may be hurting player experiences more than they are helping.

Anonymous grouping of disconnected people results in a host of negative behaviors. (See John Gabriel’s Greater Internet Dickwad Theorem for the short form of this axiom.) The only real check for awful player behavior is the censure of other players. Online communities have demonstrated time and again that when players are empowered to deal with bad actors within the social framework they tend to police themselves relatively well. When those same communities are unable to police themselves though due to the shields of anonymity, low levels of personal cost to undesirable behavior and ease of movement between sub-units within the larger community we see the worst behaviors multiply.

This is exactly what we have watched happen in LFR groups and most notably in Ashran. Players scouting for ‘good’ Ashrans, leaving at the slightest hint of possible failure, ignoring basic mechanics and objectives while seeking the simplest path to a positive outcome, lack of concern for the gameplay experience of their own teammates – these are all behavior patterns we observe regularly in the LFR and random queued Battleground venues. These behaviors have gained special attention in Ashran.

To date Blizzard’s response has seemed to be one of catering to the lowest common denominator. They’ve taken every step possible to make encounters easier to get through and to make experiences quicker and easier to get into. The logic is easy to understand. Waiting in line to get into a BG isn’t any fun. And wiping thirty times because three members of your LFR group don’t know not to drop purple crap on the floor in the middle of healer camp wouldn’t be any fun either.

The real world results however cause many of us to question if these responses are really resulting in a better game. Surely its a more accessible game – no one argues that. Making it easier for your customers to consume your product seems like a no-brainer on the surface. But would you rather wait 30 seconds to get into a Battleground whose outcome is a foregone conclusion or wait 15 minutes to get into a Battleground whose outcome will be contested right up until the final buzzer and whose players will be forced to communicate with each other in order to succeed? In a world where you plainly cannot have both the shorter queue time and the better matched experience, which outcome would most players say is more fun?

Likewise in LFR – is the no-skill-required approach really such a good thing? I personally love that members of my guild who don’t really have any desire to be a part of our weekly raiding efforts can still pop into an LFR and see all the content. I have to question however the larger community-wide consequences of that mechanic. Are we a better community when our members can access that content for ‘free’ as it were, without having to interact with anyone else? Does that cause us to somehow be disconnected? Multiply that effect across dozens of servers and thousands of guilds just in our NA region – what is the total cost to us as a player base? I honestly have to wonder – is the reason that population numbers spike and then drastically decline really just a factor of the market moving away from MMOs and into other genres, or have the design decisions of the past four years contributed to that sea change by removing the built in incentive to connect with and be an active member of a community? Did Blizzard unintentionally short circuit the dynamo that was driving player engagement in Wrath?

Honestly I don’t know – but I do know that the idea of community, of playing WITH others instead of just being in the same space with them at the same time IS on the line in PvP right now. If Blizzard wants more PvP engagement then they should be designing interfaces and systems that drive people into long-term relationship based communities rather than erecting barriers for those that want to play together.

If coordinating 40 people on one side of Ashran is making the battleground less fun for the 40 people on the other side then we at Thundering Hammer would humbly suggest that Blizzard’s best course would be to find ways to lower the barrier to entry into community because those of us who are already in thriving communities are going to find a way over, under or around the obstacles. We log in to play together and we’re going to make it happen.

Instead of trying to short circuit that very healthy drive, Blizzard should be working to make it easier for the other 40 people on the other side of the zone to group with their friends and to make new friends. Make it easier for them to connect over voice chat. Provide interface tools to make it easier to identify objectives, communicate strategic necessities and encourage teamwork. Leverage your outstanding development team and its resources to connect people instead of trying to be the referee that comes between them; Because the moment your MMO becomes about breaking groups instead of building them, you really aren’t designing a ‘Massively Multiplayer’ game anymore. I’m not sure what it is you’re developing at that point, but it isn’t what you set out to make at the start.

As always, see you all on the field.

For our ancestors, For the Clan and For the Horde!

Olafur Eliasson on

In a jam-packed 10 minutes, Olafur Eliasson talks about his work and his explorations of color, light, and space.

Saturday, January 09, 2010

The computer issue is settled for now. I picked up my machine from the shop last week and, so far, things are going well. The main lesson learned is to back up, back up, back up everything and right away. I can't afford to wait, let lots of important data build up only to disappear into the ether with a hard drive crash again. I became complacent before and can't let that happen again. I lost nine months of photographs, along with updates to my artist statement amongst other things. Luckily, some of the photos do exist in smaller resolution online, but I do have them. The good in all of this is that the computer crashing did not impact my paintings and other works.

New work is brewing in the studio again. It's coming along in fits and starts, but it's happening at least.

in Thoughts

Somehow I managed to push life away for a long time to focus on training. From January until race day in early May, I avoided going out of town, doing any major house work or having to work late.

Life came back to me in an avalanche the second I got back from Utah.

After many missed workouts and thoughts far away from triathlon, I’m a few weeks away from another race and feeling unprepared. DJ points to my training log and says “but look at those times! your swim is getting better, you’re strong on the bike, you’re running more miles then ever.” And while all those things may be true, my mind has been elsewhere.

I’m going on a three day bike-packing trip to the Olympics the weekend before Coeur d’Alene; I get back Sunday night, work 2 days, and then I’m on the road again. While I’m looking forward to spending some time in the forest (it’s been way too long), I am doubtful it will help me put my race face on.

But that’s real life; you can’t always live in a little training bubble. So I have to find my focus and my mantra for CDA.

In related news, I bought a triathlon bike last weekend and will take possession of it this weekend. So I’ll get one long ride in before the race. Thankfully, I’m pretty used to throwing shit together right before races, racing on borrowed bikes, etc, so it will be nothing new. Fingers crossed I get a comfortable fit.

Ever After High Alistair Wonderland Doll Review

Ever After High Alistair Wonderland Doll Review – The Ever After High Alistair Wonderland Doll is the perfect representation of the character Alistair Wonderland.  Alistair is Alice from Alice in Wonderland’s son.  He is a Royal on Ever After High.  So you know already that he is embracing the life that he was born to live.  It seems that his nature is naturally curious and that he grows more curious by the minute.  When it comes to exploring things, he is on the forefront and is always read to head out in the world to explore and learn something new.

  • Toy Size = 8” x 2.5” x 12.8”
  • Toy Weight = 10.6 ounces

Plus Points:

1. Male Character Perfect for Boys: Many little boys want to explore playing with dolls.  Dolls are not something that should be considered a girl’s toy because they allow a child to grow and learn how to communicate and interact with others.  If you have a son who is not willing to play with a female doll then you will love that Alistair Wonderland is that creative and fun doll that you have been looking for your son to enjoy.

 2. Encourages Exploration: Far too many children today are focused on what they have right in front of them rather than exploring the world around them.  One of the things that is great about this doll is that it encourages your child to explore what else is available to them.  They are able to check out new places and enjoy new things by going along with this fun character that is very curious and interested in the unknown.

 3. Willing to Do Something Different: When your child is playing with a doll like Alistair Wonderland, they might even be encouraged to do something different or to try new things.  This is one of the best things about having a doll like this in your child’s toy box.  You are going to find that your child is more open minded and that they are much more willing to explore than they might have been before.

 4. Creative Fun for Everyone: Alistair Wonderland is one of those dolls that allows for you to have creative fun for everyone.  You are able to have fun with your son or your daughter.  This toy is going to encourage your child to be creative in the adventures that they take Alistair on.

Ever After High Alistair Wonderland Doll

Ever After High Alistair Wonderland Doll

 Things To Consider:

1. Less Accessories than Girl Dolls: One thing that you might instantly notice with Alistair Wonderland is that he comes with far less accessories than his female counterparts.  That’s right, you are going to get boots and a canteen but there are no additional accessories like those that the girl dolls come with.

2. Easily Broken: Of course you should know that Alistair is not made for rough play.  That’s right this doll can easily be torn apart or broken in that his hands might fall off while your child is playing with him.  Children who do not play with toys rough are not going to notice but those who are rougher with their toys might notice that there are some additional issues.

Product Summary:

Ever After High Alistair Wonderland Doll Review

It does not matter if you have a son or a daughter who loves Ever After High.  Your child is going to really fall in love with the Ever After High Alistair Wonderland Doll.  This exciting doll offers them the chance to explore their dreams and new places that they might not have felt like they could explore otherwise.  His constant curiosity might just leave your child looking at the world in a completely different way.

Sassy Turkey Sircles

Posted by Nanc

Yes. I know ‘circle’ is misspelled. I was trying to be clever. But nothing should distract from the tasty goodness of these turkey rounds. Not even the lack of a good title.

These aren’t holiday-turkey leftovers, they’re made with ground turkey. But don’t think of them like hamburger patties, either. This is better than either of those, ya’ turkey.

Turkey Patties

  • 1 lb. ground turkey
  • 1/4 c. fine bread crumbs
  • 1 egg
  • 2 Tbl. minced onion
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/2 c. mushroom, finely chopped
  • 1/2 tsp. minced, fresh ginger
  • 2 Tbl. soy sauce
  1. Blend all ingredients together in a bowl. Shape into four patties.
  2. Coat skillet with cooking spray. Cook patties over medium heat for five (5) minutes on each side.

Enjoy with some rice and a tasty vegetable, like steamed aspargas. I promise, you won’t miss the bun.

Cat Frenzy

Posted by Matty

We received a mysterious package that made the cats go crazy. What could possibly be inside? Did I mention the strange and funky smell?

The smell was strangely sweet and became more and more pungent as we unwrapped the layers hiding the contents.

Inside the box was a green, leafy weed, double-bagged in an attempt to keep the smell at bay.

A little more investigative work was in order. I checked the address label, and it was postmarked Flint, MI. My hometown. My pulse quickened, and I checked out the front door to make sure that there weren’t any cops waiting to bust down the door.

The letter inside explained it all. My friend, Kirsti (who I would link to if she got a blog — hint) sent along some fresh catnip that she grows for her own four cats.

But would our citified Dallas cats enjoy the fresh catnip — the feline maryjane, the cat weed, the kitten reefer, the tabby ganja, the — okay, that’s really all I could come up with. Could they? You betcha. Take a look at the excessive amount of pics for more fun with the cats.

    FYI to our readers – Matty promises to add some funny captions to those pics, so come on back to see where clever lives. (Hmmm, is that too much pressure?)

  3. Matty Says:

    The captions (or is it cat-pions) are up. I can’t say that they’re funny, but they are up.

  4. Jen da Purse Ho Says:

    OMG that is tooooo funny. The green fairy caption had me LOL. 🙂

    my baby goes nutso w/ the kitty reefer as well. i usually stick it in a plastic bag and throw it at her. One time i made catnip tea…set it out…she came up to the bowl…sniffed…then dunked her head in the bowl. i was screaming “NO DON”T DROWN YOURSELF!!” hahah.

    how do you like the foodsaver toy? i want one too. 🙂

  5. Betty Says:

    Oh, wow, man, the colors…

  6. botgurl Says:

    The DEA letter was really funny! Your captions rock…catnip town was a keeper.

  7. Kirsti Says:

    My kitties are all-out nip heads so I thought I would share with Matty and his Katties. Nothing beats the fresh stuff! I was a bit scared of the DEA pounding on my door, but I guess their dogs know the difference. I just wonder what the mailman was thinking? I am glad to see that they enjoyed it! Dill reminds me of my Pixie when she is doped… just kinda lays there. Sprite gets the munchies, and Simba and Rajah get some all-out brawls going. For more of my cat stories, I will be starting a Yahoo 360 thing that my sister-in-law is into. I guess that may be a way for me to finally join the world of blogging. It may take a year or two for me to figure it out, but my name is Kirsti B or something like that. I had to join the info superhwy at some point… But I am on the shoulder walking very slowly, so please don’t run me over! By the way… Hello, Rachel!

LAX sets another record for passengers in 2018

Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) set a new all-time record for passenger traffic in 2018 with 87.5 million travelers, up 3.52% over 2017’s previous record.

International passenger traffic slightly outpaced overall traffic growth at LAX, with a record-setting 26 million international travelers last year. More than 61 million domestic passengers traveled through LAX.

In 2018, nonstop flights from LAX served 109 U.S. markets and another 93 internationally. Top international markets included London, Mexico City and Seoul, while New York (JFK/Newark), San Francisco, Chicago and Las Vegas were the most popular U.S. markets.

 Over the last five years, LAX has experienced continued growth. From 2014 to 2018, LAX added 21 new airlines and 36 new nonstop routes to international destinations. Passenger traffic has grown 31.2% during that time, maintaining LAX’s position as the second-busiest commercial airport in the country. In 2018, these new routes included Lomé, Togo; Shenyang and Xian, China; and Buenos Aires. New domestic routes included Arcata/Eureka, Calif., and Flagstaff, Ariz.

Miami-Dade overhauls airport concession process

Miami_International_Airport_Logo.svgMiami-Dade Mayor Carlos Gimenez has taken over the leasing function from Miami Dade Airport Aviation Department, the authority that oversees concessions at Miami International Airport.

In a memorandum issued to Miami-Dade Aviation Director Emilio Gonzalez on October 30, Mayor Gimenez said that he had decided to make “certain strategic changes in the operation of the landside business opera-tions structure and management oversight.”

Gimenez announced that effective immediately, one of his top aides, Leland Salomon, will supervise the leasing and purchasing functions of the airport, reporting directly to the mayor.

“All procurement related agenda items relating to Miami Dade Aviation Department shall require the recommendation of the Chief Procurement Officer for the Internal Services Department (ISD) and the Mayor’s Special Assistant for MDAD Landside Business Operations before being presented to the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) for final approval. There will be no exceptions.” [underline in original document]

Under the section entitled “Organizational Changes,” the memo says: “As my Special Assistant, Leland will provide management oversight for all action items involving MDAD’s Airport Con-cession Business Development, Real Estate Management and Development, and Hospitality and Transportation Services.

Gimenez’s MIA reorganization also calls for ending bidding out individual retail and restaurant spaces, to be replaced by a master concessionaire system. These master concessionaires would be responsible for subleasing space without county involvement.

Within the next three months, the Mayor’s Procurement Manager will issue a Request for Qualifications for developers or commercial manager concessionaire(s). A Request for Proposals (RFP) will be sent immediately after to those developers who are qualified, for Terminals E (and E Satellite), F and G (Central Terminal) and H and J (South Terminal at MIA.

A second solicitation will be issued from those qualified through the RFQ process for Terminal D (North Terminal), since the concession contracts there do not expire until 2024.

This process will allow “sufficient time for transition” before the contracts expire, says Gimenez.

The memo also says that a separate simplified solicitation shall be issued every 12 months for pop-up business ventures in Terminals D, E, F, G, H and J.

These contacts will be for two-year terms. The memo spells out addi-tional details.

Retailers request hurricane rent break

The reorganization reportedly follows discontent among certain airport concessionaires who are complaining of lower passenger numbers. In the latest clash, MIA’s concessionaires asked for a year-long break in their MAG payments through 2018 to recover revenue lost from Hurricane Irma. The airport was closed or offered reduced operations for about 5.5 days during and following Hurricane Irma in September, and with lower overall traffic for the month, some concessionaires estimated their sales could be down as much as 30%.

The mayor’s office, after reviewing all documentation, denied the concessionaire’s request to waive their minimum rent requirements for a year. Instead, his office calculated the percentage of operational impact on all concessionaires, and agreed to credit the MAG payments for those days. The refund equals about $1.1 million.

According to an article in the Miami Herald on Nov. 1, the Hurricane Irma shutdown is just the latest tension between the airport operators and the concessionaires.

Companies such as Newslink, among others, are complaining that American Airlines has decreased layovers, shortening the time that passengers have to shop, a situation that has also cut into sales.

Traffic for all of September was also down significantly as bad weather swept the region.

MIA Director González resigns

Emilio González – who has been considered a superb manager over his four years at the helm of MIA – announced that he will be resigning as director and CEO of the Miami-Dade Aviation Department on Feb. 1, 2018. He submitted his resig-nation on Nov. 1.

González led the completion of MIA’s $6.5 billion capital improve-ment program and transformed the airport into a global gateway.

He insists that his resignation is completely separate from the reorganization announced by Mayor Gimenez.

Hello Vietnam!

After a comfy flight from New Delhi (via Bangkok) with Thai Airways we landed at Hanoi. With our bags and souvenir box (from India) we found our driver to take us to the hotel.

The drive was pleasant and quick and we arrived at the hotel in under 30 minutes. Travellers are spoilt for choice in Hanoi, there are plenty of hotels/hostels in Hanoi’s Old Quarter, suiting all budgets. We decided to stay at the Tulinh Palace hotel 2, after reading great reviews on Booking.com and TripAdvisor.

We’re looking forward to see what Hanoi has to offer, I’m so excited to get to try local Vietnamese food!

Game recaps for week 2

Week Two Results
Bomb Squad (59) v. Eagles (47)
The second week brings Bomb Squad versus the Eagles! Bomb Squad looks to start the season 2-0. The Wong bros strike again! Last week it was Matty...this week brings you Nick! With 17p 5r 4a 1t, Nick led his team to a convincing victory over the Eagles! Matty Wong also chipped in 17p 4r. Bomb Squad was able to build their lead versus the Eagles in every quarter to cruise to a 12pt victory, 59-47! Mikko scored 18pts for the Eagles and Quez added 13pts. The Eagles need to have all their weapons working next week, they do not want to fall to 0-2!

Quez 13p 3r 3a 1t
PayProTec (66) v. Jumpmen (56)
This next game features two powerhouse teams! Defending champions PayProTec take on perennial powerhouse Jumpmen! PayProTec started this season like they were going to go for a repeat! They started the game on a 24-10 run and never looked back! The scoring was done by Sunny Margate with 26pts but the star of the game was Jason Rockwell. His all around game (11p 8r 4a 3s) was the difference. Jumpmen, after a slow start, finally came to play! Unfortunately, they just ran out of time! Joe Scott scored 16pts and James Maldonado 18pts. Next week they'll hope to get it rolling sooner!
Sunny Margate 26p 1r
Jason Rockwell 11p 8r 4a 3s
James Maldonado 18p 7r 2s
Joe Scott 16p 5r 4a 1s 2t
Beastion (65) v. Dubs (61)
A matchup between two teams that called D2 home now battle in D1! After the first quarter, the Dubs were leading a tight game 17-15, but because of a less than stellar second quarter (Beastion outscored Dubs 17-7) they fell behind 32-24 at halftime. It was the same scenario in the second half. Dubs came out strong (20-11 in the 3rd period) retaking the lead behind 17p 8r by Vince and Adlai's 13 second half points. The game was decided in the final period. Beastion, led by Chris Knight's 22pts and Tyler Lee's 12pts (4-8 3pt) won a close game, 65-61! Good showing by both teams!
Chris Knight 22p 5r
Tyler Lee 12p 3r 1a
Vince 17p 8r 3a 2b 1t
Adlai 13p 4r 3a
The Fam (55) v. Strokers (52)
A rematch of last season's championship game had The Fam looking for revenge as they took on the defending champs, Strokers! This was a close battle throughout! Leading the team in scoring were Warren with 12p (6-7 fgs) 8r and James Soy also had 12pts. The Strokers took the lead after the third period by 4pts, 34-30! The Fam took the lead for good in the fourth period behind 6pts by Warren. The Strokers were led by G (18pts) and Lloyd (11pts).
The Fam
Warren 12p 8r 1t
James Soy 12p 2r 3a 1t
G 18p 3r 1a
Lloyd 11p 5r 3a
Hapanese (68) v. Gators (65) F/OT
Both of these teams are new to our league although some of the players have played before for different teams. The Gators jumped ahead of Hapanese, 32-25 at the half behind Jordan's 11pts and Mickey's 13pts (both players finished with 18pts). Hapanese came out strong in the second half! Tommy continued his torrid shooting with 13 of his game high 26pts and Tye came through with 16 of his 21pts in the second half and overtime! Again at the end of regulation the main culprit were FREE THROWS! The Gators went to the line twice to either tie or win the game and they split both free throws. The Gators ended up losing a thrilling game, 68-65!
Tommy 26p 8r 2a 1t
Tye 21p 10r 7a 2t
Jordan 18p 8r 4a 2s 1t
Mickey 18p 9r 2a 1s 1b 2t
GPC (53) v. Putties (36)
Here's a battle of old and new! As the Putties take on newcomers GPC. The Putties only had 5 players but they said that they were up for a challenge. A challenge is what GPC gave them! The Putties went up 17-15 after the first quarter behind Jason Ree's 12pts (18pts for the game) and Derrick's 5pts! Unfortunately, the lack of a bench proved to be too much for them to overcome! GPC scored consistently throughout the game led by Jordan Tso's 20pts and 8rebs and he was accompanied by Tommy Doan's 11p 8r! GPC didn't shoot well but it was enough. They were 19-51 (37% from the field) and 12-15 (80% from the line). GPC is 2-0 while the Putties fell to 1-1.

Jason Ree 18p 5r 1a 2s 3t
Clifton Szeto 6p 6r 2a 1s
Jordan Tso 20p 8r
Tommy Doan 11p 8r 1a 1b 3t
Team Royalty (44) v. MonStars (31)
The last game of the day brought two teams looking for their first victory of the season as Team Royalty took on the newbies MonStars! Both teams came out scoring 10pts each in the first quarter. The second quarter was a different story as Team Royalty outscored the MonStars 17-2! Which gave them a commanding lead at the half, 27-12! Led by AJ with 17p and 12p from Irish, Team Royalty held off the MonStars winning the game 44-31! The MonStars are slowly improving. Being the youngest team in the league with an average age of 22. They haven't had their entire team show up at once so the jury is still out...
Team Royalty
AJ 17p 4r 1a 3s
Irish 12p 7r 2s 2t

Alex 16p 8r 1a
Eldrik 6p 2r 2a 2s 5t

Fuel economy hit record-high last month

Wednesday, March 5, 2014

ANN ARBOR—For the fifth straight month, gas mileage of new vehicles sold in the U.S. topped 25 mpg and was at a record-high 25.2 mpg in February, say researchers at the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute.

Average fuel economy (window-sticker values) of cars, light trucks, vans and SUVs purchased last month was up 2.5 mpg from just three years ago and up 5.1 mpg from October 2007, the first full month of monitoring, according to UMTRI researchers Michael Sivak and Brandon Schoettle.

In addition to average fuel economy, Sivak and Schoettle issued a monthly update of their national Eco-Driving Index, which estimates the average monthly emissions generated by an individual U.S. driver. The EDI takes into account both the fuel used per distance driven and the amount of driving—the latter relying on data that are published with a two-month lag.

For the second consecutive month, the EDI registered its best mark ever at 0.78 (the lower the value, the better) during December. The index currently shows that emissions of greenhouse gases per driver of newly purchased vehicles are down 22 percent, overall, since October 2007

    Free and Open Source software was at the center of the first image of a black hole. The team used three different imaging software libraries to achieve the feat. Out of the three, two were fully open source libraries – Sparselab and ehtim.

Black Hole Image Has an Open Source Connection

  • Black Hole Image Has an Open Source Connection

    Two imaging libraries responsible for the image are fully open source.

    Last week the whole world was stunned by seeing what was unseen – a black hole. Scientists were able to create picture of a black hole named Messier 87 in the Virgo A galaxy. The black hole is more than 55 million light years away.

    The first image of a black hole is the outcome of the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) project, which created a virtual telescope as big as earth by networking 8 ground-based telescopes. The telescopes generated more than five petabyte of data. Collecting data was the first part of the puzzle. The team of scientists used various algorithms to fill gaps in this data to be able to generate an image of the black hole.

Neon: A Wannabe Linux Distro For KDE Lovers

KDE Neon is a bit of an oddball Linux thing. Linuxland has an impressive collection of oddball things. Neon looks and feels much like a Linux distribution, but its developers assert quite openly on their website that Neon is not a real Linux distro. It just installs and functions like one -- sort of. That can make deciding to use it a little confusing. Neon appears to be a Linux operating system. It boots your computer. It displays a full desktop environment. It runs *some* applications so you can go about your computing tasks much like using any other -- ahh -- real Linux distribution. That last part is a clue to what makes KDE Neon different. Getting somewhat technical for a minute, KDE Neon is more of a specialty offering than a fully endowed operating system. Other distros support a wide range of applications from the same software format type. For example, Ubuntu runs .Deb formatted packages from the Debian Linux family. All .Deb packages will run on Ubuntu- and other Debian-based distros. Which desktop environment is used does not matter, be it KDE, Xfce, GNOME or whatever. Ditto for RPM-based Linux distributions, like Fedora and Red Hat. All you need is a package management tool or knowledge of the commands for apt, yum or pacman, depending on the distribution's Linux family. However, that is a skill set that lots of Linux users never had to learn. Not so with KDE Neon. Neon runs only a specific category of KDE applications: the latest. Neon's developers assert that their "pseudo" distro does not support most other software. In fact, non-KDE packages most likely will not even install on Neon. Read more

  • Data in a Flash, Part IV: the Future of Memory Technologies

    As it relates to memory technologies, the future looks very promising and very exciting. Will the SSD completely replace the traditional spinning HDD? I doubt it. Look at tape technology. It's still around and continues to find a place in the archival storage space. The HDD most likely will have a similar fate. Although until then, the HDD will continue to compete with the SSD in both price and capacity.

  • Jonathan McDowell: Upgrading my home server

    At the end of last year I decided it was time to upgrade my home server. I built it back in 2013 as an all-in-one device to be my only always-on machine, with some attempt towards low power consumption. It was starting to creak a bit - the motherboard is limited to 16G RAM and the i3-3220T is somewhat ancient (though has served me well). So it was time to think about something more up to date. Additionally since then my needs have changed; my internet connection is VDSL2 (BT Fibre-to-the-Cabinet) so I have an BT HomeHub 5 running OpenWRT to drive that and provide core routing/firewalling. My wifi is provided by a pair of UniFi APs at opposite ends of the house. I also decided I could use something low power to run Kodi and access my ripped DVD collection, rather than having the main machine in the living room. That meant what I wanted was much closer to just a standard server rather than having any special needs. The first thing to consider was a case. My ADSL terminates in what I call the “comms room” - it has the electricity meter / distribution board and gas boiler, as well as being where one of the UniFi’s lives and where the downstairs ethernet terminates. In short it’s the right room for a server to live in. I don’t want a full rack, however, and ideally wanted something that could sit alongside the meter cabinet without protruding from the wall any further. A tower case would have worked, but only if turned sideways, which would have made it a bit awkward to access. I tried in vain to find a wall mount case with side access that was shallow enough, but failed. However in the process I discovered a 4U vertical wall mount. This was about the same depth as the meter cabinet, so an ideal choice. I paired it with a basic 2U case from X-Case, giving me a couple of spare U should I decide I want another rack-mount machine or two.

  • Public Statement on Neutrality of Free Software

    F-Droid won’t tolerate oppression or harassment against marginalized groups. Because of this, it won’t package nor distribute apps that promote any of these things. This includes that it won’t distribute an app that promotes the usage of previously mentioned website, by either its branding, its pre-filled instance domain or any other direct promotion. This also means F-Droid won’t allow oppression or harassment to happen at its communication channels, including its forum. In the past week, we failed to fulfill this goal on the forum, and we want to apologize for that.

  • An Indian research university has assembled 73 million journal articles (without permission) and is offering the archive for unfettered scientific text-mining

    The JNU Data Depot is a joint project between rogue archivist Carl Malamud (previously), bioinformatician Andrew Lynn, and a research team from New Delhi's Jawaharlal Nehru University: together, they have assembled 73 million journal articles from 1847 to the present day and put them into an airgapped respository that they're offering to noncommercial third parties who want to perform textual analysis on them to "pull out insights without actually reading the text."

    This text-mining process is already well-developed and has produced startling scientific insights, including "databases of genes and chemicals, map[s of] associations between proteins and diseases, and [automatically] generate[d] useful scientific hypotheses." But the hard limit of this kind of text mining is the paywalls that academic and scholarly publishers put around their archives, which both limit who can access the collections and what kinds of queries they can run against them.
