Digital Music Files Belong in Your Car, Pure and Simple
Front AUX Input Lets You Easily Connect to External SourcesBy now you might have a wide variety of music sources, from the latest digital device to the worn-out analog machine. Whatever it is, as long as it has an AUX output or headphone jack, you can easily hook it up to the source unit's AUX input right on the front panel, for continued enjoyment of all your favorite tunes.
Beat EQ for User Customizable SoundIn addition to providing 3 preset equalization patterns — BASS BOOST, IMPACT, and EXCITE — Clarion's Beat EQ even lets you freely customize the level and range of the bass, midrange and treble portions of each pattern. You can tune the sound to your liking, depending on the category of music, for a more fulfilling listening experience.
MAGNA BASS EX for Dynamic Bass ResonanceNow, Clarion's MAGNA BASS EX boosts the bass by nearly 12 dB, at even lower frequencies of around 50 Hz — lower than that of ordinary loudness circuits which are at around 100 Hz — to provide extra-low frequency impact. It even automatically compensates the volume level to ensure well-balanced dynamic bass at any level.
Low Pass Filter for SubwooferSwitching on the Low Pass Filter (LPF) will send only the low frequency range through specified outputs to ensure superb performance when connected to a subwoofer.

West Nile virus
West Nile virus, microorganism and the infection resulting from it, which typically produces no symptoms or a flulike condition. The virus is a flavivirus and is related to a number of viruses that cause encephalitis. It usually is transmitted through the bite of several mosquito species, and can infect humans and more than 200 animal species, including alligators, horses, and many common birds. A number of North American bird species, including the blue jay, crow, and house sparrow, act as reservoirs of the virus.
About one fifth of humans infected with the virus develop West Nile fever, which in most people is characterized by fever, headache, muscle ache, joint pain, nausea and vomiting, and in some cases rash and swollen lymph nodes (swollen glands). Less than 1% of all persons infected may develop a severe case, progressing to encephalitis or meningitis, about a week after the initial symptoms of West Nile fever appear. Loss of vision, tremors and convulsions, paralysis, coma, and, in some cases, death may result. Older persons and persons with a weakened immune system are most susceptible to severe cases of the disease, and they may suffer from longer-term effects including weakness and fatigue, headaches, memory loss and confusion, and depression. There is no treatment or vaccine for the virus except to alleviate the symptoms; controlling the mosquitoes that carry the disease is the most effective way to limit its spread.
West Nile virus was first identified in 1937 in the West Nile district of Uganda. It was subsequently found in much of the rest of Africa, the Middle East, and warmer regions of Asia and Europe. Its first recorded appearance in the United States was in Queens, N.Y., in 1999, and it since has spread to most of the United States and neighboring areas in North America.

The Facility:
The control booth in the Harvey M. Powers Theatre houses sophisticated lighting and sound systems. The lighting control consoles are ETC IONs (3), which control 380 sensor dimmers, as well as moving lights, atmospheric effects, and automated accessories. Our sound system utilizes a 64 channel digital sound board and CobraNET networked audio. Almost all of the sound editing for Powers theatre is done on computers, with shows played back via a Q-lab playback system on a Mac computer. In addition to the many individual bells and whistles of the sound and lighting system, the two are joined together through a MIDI connection such that the sound system can actually trigger the lighting system and tell the light board when to fire its cues. Therefore, shows may be produced in which the "Play" button for the sound is pushed once at the beginning of the show and then neither it nor the light board must be touched again until the show's completion.
In the stage right wing exists an electrics shop used for repairing damaged electrical equipment and storing electrical accessories, and on the stage left side, a paint shop where all the scenic painting supplies are stored. Also in the wings is an entire wall of lighting racks which hold over 400 ETC, Altman and Strand lighting units. Outside of the stage itself, the Harvey Powers Theatre houses an 1800 square foot scene shop. Also backstage are professor's offices, the green room, dressing rooms, and the design studio. This studio houses 8 computer stations for CAD, digital sound work and lighting design, as well as two large format photo-quality color printers, a flatbed scanner, and a data projector, all of which are available for student use. The lab is also used for traditional drafting, model making, and scenic and costume design.

Huh. My first computer was a recycled Apple III and I had a lot of fun with it. Never overheated once, although it wasn't until after several years I got curious and popped off the case, and discovered a second memory module which had been rattling around loose all the time I had owned it. And nothing says technology like a 5MB hard drive.
I believe one of Apple's biggest failures was dumping that Apple line. They never made the Apple IV and moved the resources into the Mac. Granted, the Mac was good, but I still liked the "openness" of the Apple I's, II's and III's. You could open the case and put whatever you wanted into them. They were very powerful machines for their day and could have been a worthy competitor to all the "IBM clones" that came out shortly afterward.
Unfortunately, they dumped it to keep it from competing with the new L
Except that Quicktime Player 1-3 and Quicktime Player X are excellent programs. I would agree with you for everything between Quicktime Player 4 and Quicktime Player 7.
Even if you do install Perian there will be formats that Quicktime doesn't play.
VLC is still better than an enhanced version of Quicktime. (Same goes for Plex)
Perian pretty much covers everything VLC covers, the only one I know to be missing is flac, and that's easily added with another plugin.
You should try using Quicktime on OS X instead of on Windows, just like iTunes and Safari it is a lot better on OS X than it is on Windows.
No Quicktime Player? It's a turd of a program on either OS, but the windows version definitely stand out as a major PITA.
Beaten only by iTunes, also strangely not on the list.
I don't care how cool iPods are, or how well the iTunes store works, the software is horrible on Windows.
What's wrong with it on OS X?
No mention of the latest generation ipod shuffle? The one where they figured control buttons would "clutter up" the design, so instead you have to buy special, expensive apple earbuds/headphones that are all cluttered up with inline controls and only cost ten times the cost of normal headphones? So the shuffle plus a pair of "special" headphones costs more than a nano?
I'd buy a shuffle in an instant, if it had volume up / volume down / play-pause buttons on the device.
I know adapter cables are sold, and I guess I could duct tape / hot glue gun the adapter onto the shuffle, to make an almost usable "exercise ipod". But having to pay the "apple tax" and then whip out the duct tape and hot glue gun to make it usable is just going too far.
Note I'm not an apple hater, I enjoy by nano for exercise listening and my ipod touch for PDA and video use, but the shuffle is just a design disaster.
I initially ripped on the controls on the ear phone cable until I started using them with my iPhone. Now I think about how stupid it is to have to pull the device out of my pocket or go searching around on my waistband just to skip a song or adjust the volume. For example, last time I was snowboarding I wanted to adjust the song. Instead of having to go digging through my jacket I was able to just change it from the ear buds. That also alleviated the need to pull the device out in the cold air and have
As someone who has been using Macs since around 1990 I disagree with quite a number of points on this list. First of all, the worst Apple product ever is without any doubt the Performa 5200 [lowendmac.com], but not the whole performa line. I've owned several performas that were very good and compact machines. Regarding the 5200, it is true that just about everything about this machine was wrong: its weight, its design, the built-in monitor, the speed (Powermac, but slower than most 68k Macs). The next point: OS 9 was an absolutely great OS and IMHO only OS 6 was better at its time. At least, unlike OS X, OS 9 is able to remember window sizes and positions. As for the "honorable mention" color classic, this still is a great machine. I once had one and have always regretted that I had sold it. It was completely silent and with a few modifications would be quite suitable for text processing today.
Moreover, given that the author of this article claims that Power PC (especially the B/W Macs) were a failure, I doubt whether he has ever owned a Mac at all. I bought a b/w Power PC Mac just when it came out, it absolutely rocked, and was usable for around 10 years. Generally speaking, the built quality of Power PC Macs was much better (except for the Performa 5200) than today's Macs. (To be fair, the b/w Mac keyboard really sucked.) In fact, the built quality of Macs has declined constantly since the Mac Plus (I have one standing on my shelf, it still boots without problems) and is worse than ever now with the exception of that of the overprized Mac Pro.
To cut a long story short, some of the items in the list are fairly incomprehensible and I suspect the author of the article has never owned or used them.
I disagree with OS9. While it certainly was the best of the original MacOSes, which one would hope being the latest generation, it wasn't a good OS overall given when it was released.
The time had long passed since the whole "cooperative multitasking, no memory protection, static memory allocation," thing was a good idea in OSes. It was more than past time to move on. MS was in full swing doing that. Windows NT, released in 1993, went full on with features like that you should have in a modern OS. Windows 95
Gotta agree with you there.But the PowerPC chips kept the Mac alive longer than a switch to any other processor at the time; they were close enough to the Motorola 680x0 line that the OS could be ported with decent emulation to run older binaries. It was only near the end, when Motorola and IBM lost interest in going head to head with intel that Apple decided to switch again.
I think the Performa got singled out as a line despite there being gems in the mix due to how terrible it was for the stores to sell.
The author's main complaint on the PowerPC was that it was not the ubiquitous Intel... I hardly think that makes it a mistake by Apple. The change to the Intel architecture does seem to have been a good one, but that doesn't make the long time support of the PowerPC was a bad one.
In fact, if Apple would have switched from the 68K architecture to an available Intel architecture at the time, it would have been crippling. There would not have been enough horsepower to support classic emulation. Until the MMX, the Intel architecture's pipelining was just not efficient enough and even then it was marginal. So in terms of performance, the PowerPC architecture was several years ahead of the Intel architecture.
The author's comment about the PowerPC power consumption is mystifying. Compared to the Intel offereings at the time, it was best in class.
Sure, Apple's had some really bad products over time - but what do you expect from a company that big which survived that long?
And - how many open source projects died, never making it...
Apple, like any other company, doesn't always just launch brilliant products - but, at least, they're not afraid to try new things and see how they pan out...
Overall I think it's good that the DO dare making something entirely new; and more often than not fail with their products. Sometimes they even failed commercially, while still making a product people still care about (e.g. Newton).
For myself, I know many people are critical of the iPad, on the other hand, I think I will still buy one - it looks like a cool ebook reader - whether it has multi-tasking or not.
I don't think eWorld failed because of its now-ludicrous-sounding pricing model. At the time (early/mid-90s), it was the norm for online services to have monthly fees that gave only a few free hours per month, and then cost significant amounts per hour after that. In the early 90s, AOL gave 2 free hours for $7.95/month and $6/hour thereafter, and was wildly successful, so eWorld's $8.95/mo for 2 free hours and $5/hr day, $8/hr nights thereafter doesn't seem like it was so far out of line as to kill it.
Apple had to switch off the 68k, Motorola was basically putting it out to pasture. Apple was never a very big customer of theirs, so it wasn't enough to keep it alive. Crappy situation, but it had to happen. Now at that point they had two major choices:
1) Go with x86. That was the industry standard for personal computers, of course. Intel dumped tons of money in to development to make them the biggest, baddest, most powerful computer chips you could get, and it worked. They were, and are, fast as hell. Also
Except that your memories and mine differ. At that time, Intel processors weren't speed demons, and the PPC ran much faster. This was because Intel was seriously limited by backward compatibility, and the PPC was a new RISC chip. At that time, if you wanted raw CPU speed in a consumer desktop (which was less useful than lots of people seemed to think), the Mac was the correct choice.
Later on, Intel came up with ways to efficiently process a truly arcane instruction set, and CPU performance vs. memory bandwidth vs. increasing use of cache changed the balance of RISC vs. CISC desirability, and IBM and Motorola wouldn't continue to produce good PPC laptop chips, and Apple changed again.
I agree about PowerPC - but as for MacOS, I'd put the entirety of classic MacOS in there. Before they ditched it for Next, even in its day it was a poor OS (e.g., couldn't even multitask - something that Apple has seemed to enjoy doing again, with the Iphones...). This was especially true by the time it got to MacOS 9.
May depend on the specific time and area. I wasn't on the Internet at the start of the 90s, but by 1995 when I did get on, it was a flat rate for access. AOL may have still been doing hourly then, I don't know, but there were plenty of small ISPs that did flat rates.
Also, as they noted, it was designed to push hardware sales and was Mac only. That is a pretty major problem.
Love their products in general. MacPro and MacBook user myself but I hate their mice and their keyboards. They both have always sucked.
The Lisa sucked big time. As did Newton but
No guts no glory. They at least stick their neck out there and try things. Sometimes it does not always work.
Love their products in general. MacPro and MacBook user myself but I hate their mice and their keyboards. They both have always sucked
This is true.
Missing item from the "worst" list is every Apple UK keyboard ever, which is just a US keyboard with the (#) key replaced by a (£) key, leaving all sorts of punctuation keys in the US positions. Fail.
I think the mouse problem is that you really need to go out and choose a mouse that fits your hand - Apple are constrained to (a) only having one or two models (b) making it one-size-fits-all and ambidextrous and (c) being obliged to make something "different" and "designer-y". Fortunately, for ages now, any PC USB mouse has worked fine, including multiple buttons and scroll wheels.
I agree totally that their mice suck, but I adore their keyboards. To offset the mouse bit too – their track pads are by far the best in the business.
The article is just trying to point out that along with great successes, they have great failures too. The press as of late has been rather over the top fanboyish with Apple, hailing everything they do as amazing and generally projecting them as a company that makes bold decisions that are never wrong. This article seemed like a counterpoint to that. Showing that along with their successes, that everyone has heard about, there are plenty of failures, which many people have not. That will be true for any company, but in particular for companies that try something new.
I think it is a good reminder over all, given the massive over-hype that surrounded the iPad launch. Much of the tech press had worked themselves in to a frenzy and had decided it was going to be the greatest thing ever, without knowing anything about it. This has then been followed by a good bit of letdown. They seemed to have the idea that everything Apple produces is an amazing winner of a product. I think it is a useful reminder to say that no, Apple has produced some real bombs in the past. They are a company composed of people like any other and people make mistakes. They WILL fuck up sometimes.
I could add a few more recent products to that list, the cube being one, and Apple TV looking like another.
I fully agree. The fallacy in the press, and my users here, seems to be "The Ipod was successful, therefore anything else from them will be".
The fact that the Mac has always been a niche product, and the Iphone is a niche product, is ignored. Indeed, the press hype it up as if the Iphone was as successful as the Ipod!
The annoying thing is, these people aren't even consistent. By their logic, since Windows is massively successful, we should all be talking about Microsoft's Zune as if it's going to be the nex
It's strange that the early multi-coloured iMac laptops are not on the list.
Given that you use laptop both in the title and body of your post, I assume you're refering to the first generation iBook [apple-history.com].
At least Apple learns from it's mistakes. they finally found a home for the cube/box computer as the Mac Mini and a lot of people like it. and if you look at almost everything Steve Jobs has built over the years starting from the 1980's, it's like he's making the same computer over and over again. everything in one unit except for the keyboard and mouse
And the market seems to like it. Outside of enthusiasts in the PC market, most people will buy a box and never think about upgrading it until it's time to buy a new one. And in the long run, that doesn't actually cost any more than buying a grey box and upgrading individual components, either.
But in a market which is increasingly shifting towards laptops and all-in-one computers, perhaps the idea of building a computer that has everything you need in a single portable box is actually a good one? I know that
PC vendors were making machines in book and cube form before Apple was. There was nothing particularly innovative or daring about either of those ideas.
Apple dramatically improved it's marketing. That's been the most significant recent change.
At the time he had them, "they were the greatest thing ever".
Ask him about them now and he'll tell you they were all crap, with the exception of the PowerPC. He still swears by that (which I really don't understand).
Point being, with technology being what it is and constantly advancing, doesn't everything eventually become crap?
Point being, with technology being what it is and constantly advancing, doesn't everything eventually become crap?
Not in my opinion. I still consider the Sega Mega Drive (Genesis to you Americans) as one of the best consoles of all time. By todays standards it outdated and had a terrible controller, sure, but I certainly wouldn't call it crap. Now compare that to the Sega Mega CD which was pretty much crap all round. Both old, both consoles, not equally crap.
If you look back, the Power chips are RISC basic processors as opposed to CISC on the Intels. Throughout the 1990's, the PPC's were superior to vastly superior for the graphics and and audio worlds. The last time I knew anything, submarines used PPC chips for sonar analysis (not Apples, made by somebody else to custom specs) for that reason.
Although things began to change in the early 2000's. For one, companies like Newtek began optimizing their renderers for x86 and it lead to the Intel chips to become
At least they didn't invent BOB.
- i did RTFA (it happens!)
- i know Apple history
- i'm not Apple fan and don't own any Apple product (anymore) actually
PowerPC was not a failure. PowerPC's were sold by IBM in their POWER architectures and had quite a bit of success there as well. They were quick, worked well, and they allowed the transition for Apple. If apple went x86 back then, there might have been no apple today. The only "failure" would have been the G5, or in fact, the lack of G6.
Undelivered promises of updates, for 2 years, and Apple had to switch to Intel.
MacOS 9:
TFA is confusing MacOS 8 with Copland (MacOS 8 original codename).
Copland was from-scratch operating system, with true preemptive multitasking and most of the things we're used to today.
It took ages and never got completed (in fact, the failure here, was Copland).
Apple released instead MacOS 8 and subsequent updates with partial features of Copland, but no rewrite. MacOS 9 was the last of the serie, nothing more, nothing less (MacOS 9.2.2). On top of that, it is the only MacOS that could run natively inside OSX. MacOS classic pionnered todays GUI.

... Every single mouse ever produced by Apple. Ever!
C'mon Steve, get over your button-o-phobia already!
TWO is the right number for buttons a mouse. Two buttons, one on each side of the mouse, with definite clicky tactile feedback.
Not one big clicky button in the middle (with no right click).
Not some vague number of buttons with zero tactile feedback and random results if a stray finger is slightly touching the mouse somewhere else.
I disagree, 5 main buttons is what you want for a mouse. Middle click is essential and back/forward buttons are very useful.
"Everything Apple does is over-priced. A the mark of a great Apple failure is being both over-priced and under-powered."
That's pretty much what they had to say about every product listed.
I used to love Apple II series computers. They were the tinker and learning machines of the day. People pushed them to all sorts of uncharted limits. Macs were too expensive to hack on so most people who owned Mac paid so much for them that they were afraid to hack on them. (Yeah, I know there were still some hacks and

NEW BEDFORD — The sounds of monitors beeping, staff conversations and the sterile smell of disinfectant left Heather Church feeling like giving birth to her first child by caesarean section was just another trip to the hospital.
NEW BEDFORD — The sounds of monitors beeping, staff conversations and the sterile smell of disinfectant left Heather Church feeling like giving birth to her first child by caesarean section was just another trip to the hospital.
"Julian's birth felt less personal than I had hoped and my emotional response was stifled by the rigidity of the medical procedure," Church wrote in an email. "This momentous event felt as though I was having routine surgery rather than the sacred experience of bringing a child into the world."
Three years later, while Church was pregnant with her second child, she viewed a video produced in a United Kingdom hospital that performed "gentle caesareans" with less staff conversation, dimmer lights and with doctors immediately handing the baby over to the mother rather than whisking it off to another part of the maternity ward, she said.
That was what she had wanted, a warmer way of giving birth, she said.
St. Luke's Hospital doctors delivered Ella Rose Yarmac, Church's second baby, by gentle caesarean last September, a first for the staff performing the procedure, said by medical experts to provide a number of health benefits to both the mother and child.
"We're hoping it becomes the norm," said Janine Fontaine, Director of Women's Health for Southcoast Health System. "It's about involving the family in the birth of the child. Birth should not be like having your gallbladder out."
The gentle caesarean takes into account family requests such as having music playing for the mother, turning off lights aside from those above the ones above the operating table and immediately providing skin-to-skin contact between the mother and baby, all the things that are done in a standard vaginal birth, Fontaine said.
"Babies in utero are used to hearing their mother's heart beat," she said, adding that the immediate contact makes initially nursing the child less difficult.
The procedure is nothing new, however, but never caught on in the New Bedford area, Fontaine said. Tobey Hospital in Wareham, also a part of Southcoast Hospitals Group, performs gentle caesareans fairly regularly and the procedure tends to be common outside of the country, she added.
Dr. Kerry Gowell, the obstetrician who delivered Ella Rose, said New Bedford tends to have a higher rate of emergency caesareans, which could be the reason why the procedure never caught on in the city until recently.
"Typically, in New Bedford, you might be dealing with higher acuity patients," Gowell said, adding that the gentle caesarean does not take any longer to perform, but does require some preparation on the part of staff and family.
And expectant mothers should know the procedure still involves the same anaesthetics and surgery of a regular caesarean.
"There's nothing actually gentle about it," Gowell said, referring to the fact that the procedure is called "gentle" because it takes the family's requests into account and tries to recreate a standard birth.
The small comforts make a huge difference, Church said.
"It may not seem like a big deal, but when I had my first (caesarean), the operating room was cold and bright," she said by phone earlier this week. "And the biggest thing was having them give me the baby as soon as she came out."
She encouraged women to explore the procedure, adding, "It's just so good for mom and baby, and what could be better than that?"

Its a good thing Valentines Day only comes once a year. This is one of the most anxiety-ridden holidays of all. People lose sleep trying to dream up a gift.
That probably explains why Valentines Day ranks number one when it comes to cut flower purchases. It is responsible for over 30% of holiday sales.
Overall most people spend between $80-$100 on Valentines gifts.
In a recent survey people were asked what they would like to receive for
Valentines Day. For the most part the women wanted flowers. Men said their first choice would be dinner and a card. At the bottom of their list were the traditional gifts, such as chocolates and flowers.
Unlike chocolates, flowers are guilt-free. We feel no qualms about enjoying them. There's a lot of talk about obesity, and chocolate only makes the matter worse. Flowers have no calories. No one can ever get too many.
Flowers are a calorie-free gift that brings so much pleasure to the recipient. This year you can even buy organic roses. A company called Organic Bouquet is marketing these products. The roses are raised organically in Ecuador. The flower farms are certified organic by a USDA-accredited organic certification organization.
This year the company is offering 20 varieties of roses. So far as price is concerned the organic ones usually dont cost any more than the non-organic. Last year the company introduced its first organic bouquets. For the most part the flowers are grown in Oregon and California. But there are other growers in other countries to ensure that the flowers are available year-round.
In addition to roses and cut flower bouquets there are other choices for Valentines Day. Flowers are back in style as a fashion accessory. Corsages are a traditional way of wearing flowers, but there are other options. They can also be worn on a ribbon choker around the neck. Wearing flowers is an age-old custom. The Edwardians wore sprays of orchids in the early 20th century.
Once people even had special posy-holders or bouquetiers. These were actually miniature flower vases that were attached to a womans dress, worn on her finger, or held in her hand. These tiny vases contain a minute quantity of water to keep the flower fresh longer. Alas these posy-holders are no longer manufactured. They went out of style early in the last century. The Smithsonian has a collection of these that were donated to the organization.
Why not buy some nontraditional blooms like anthuriums or tulips, and create your own Valentines arrangement? Make a topiary using a bunch of tulips or roses. Or follow the color-illustrated, step-by-step instructions for other projects in Coles book. She has many inspiring examples that seem appropriate for the holidays. These include orchids in a copper bowl and tea roses in a silver bowl. Whatever the season she has appropriate examples of breath-taking projects.
Eventually the flowers you present to your loved one will fade, so why not include a lasting gift with that posie? Flower lovers would just love to receive stationary and note cards with floral themes. My favorite is 'Francine Barkan Bouquets,' part of the Galison Portfolio Notes series. The set of twelve notecards features four different unforgettable bouquets by this renowned artist.
Galison has also released an incredibly beautiful address book that is especially suitable for floral designers and gardeners. "An Alphabet of Flowers" begins with amaryllis and ends with Zenobia with gorgeous full-page botanical drawing of the featured blooms. The art is reproduced from historic works, such as Robert Sweet's "The British Flower Garden," published from 1831-1838.
Make this Valentines Day a memorable one with fresh flowers and plants.

GP7200 Engines Recognized for Fuel Consumption Benefit
Airbus recently revised its performance handbook to indicate that GP7200-powered A380 aircraft have been demonstrating fuel consumption levels better than previously stated. This latest revision – the third positive adjustment since 2007 - reflects an additional 0.5 percent improvement to the previous version of the performance handbook and further increases the GP7200-powered aircraft's competitive advantage. Aircraft purchasers frequently refer to these assessments as a predictor of aircraft and engine performance.
The GP7200 engine entered service in 2008, and 32 GP7200-powered A380s are now in service. Current operators include Emirates with 21 aircraft, Air France with six and Korean Air with five. Other GP7200 customers include Air Austral, Etihad Airways and Qatar Airways. To date, Engine Alliance GP7200 engines have been selected to power 56% of all A380s.
The Engine Alliance is a 50/50 joint venture of General Electric and Pratt & Whitney.

I don't see that in the summary. Perhaps it's been edited already?
Nevermind... it does say that. Clearly the word "glide" in that sentence should have been omitted.
"The powered segment of the flight will be powered by a glide..."
Surely you meant "The powered segment of the flight will be followed by a glide..."
And both can be technically accurate - a powered glide would seem to describe a flight plan in which the craft is basically in a glide but the engines are on standby to provide any minor adjustments or emergency thrust necessary.
An "underwater flotation test" would likely be termed a "buoyancy test" in most circumstances, but the former might be more informative if you're discussing a craft intended to float on the "surface" of a sharp density gradient such as between two non-mixing thermal masses or an und
to compliment their earlier unpowered glide flights
Last I looked, Republicans were pushing the Senate Launch System while Democrats were pushing for NASA to buy private sector launch services to ISS. Numerous people have commented on what an absurd reversal that is.
Given the total amount of money spent on private spaceflight vs the amount of tax dollars poured into public spaceflight. I have to say the private guys are doing pretty good. Give them time and money and they will be better than the public sector.
Yea, they're doing well because they've gotten the benefits of _both_ the dollars "poured into public spaceflight" AND the private subsidies. What, you think they're reinventing the rocket from the ground up?
NASA is the only R&D shop working for the public benefit. And now that they've done the hard work, we're going to now start funneling our tax dollars into private corporations for them to make private profit off of public funding. "Privatizing profits and socializing debt" indeed...
Yea, they're doing well because they've gotten the benefits of _both_ the dollars "poured into public spaceflight" AND the private subsidies. What, you think they're reinventing the rocket from the ground up?
NASA spent about the same to put a fake upper stage on a shuttle SRB and launch it into the sea as SpaceX did to develop a brand new rocket engine and two rockets and launch them into space.
NASA is the only R&D shop working for the public benefit.
Really? That would come as a bit surprise to DARPA, NIST, etc. Do you know who invented the Internet? Not to mention all the universities, astronomical observatories, private foundations, etc. What "public benefit" do you think NASA should be working for, if you never want the results to be "funneled" to the public?
Umm, this is how government funded R&D is supposed to work. The government spends money on projects that are too risky or too long-term for private companies to easily justify funding on internal dollars. Then when a higher level of technical maturity is reached private companies can take the body of knowledge, develop their own products for the government and private users, and start selling products to the government (and other customers) for less money than the government would have spent to build
Where were they 20-30 years ago then? I mean, they're all coming out now (but not commercially available yet, still undergoing testing). Considering we archived orbital flight 30 years ago, they have 30 years of experience to build with.
Or could it be perhaps today there's actually enough money being thrown around by people who want to be astronauts that there's now a good enough ROI? 30 years ago, there was no ROI so no one invested in it (other than NASA).
We had the technology to do so 30 years ago. Yet t
Yet these private companies advertising orbital flights (for the last decade or so) still haven't launched a commercial service yet (I'm not talking preorders. I mean launching and recovering now as a regular mission).
The ULA (and its predecessors, Lockheed Martin and Boeing) have launched many things into orbit over the past twenty five years. Orbital Sciences has launched stuff for about 20 years. These are private companies advertising orbital flights.
Funny you should say that, since none of Virgin, Scaled Composites, and XCOR are working on orbital flight.
XCOR has a two-stage fully reusable orbital system in early development to directly follow the Lynx. XCOR CEO Jeff Greason has mentioned this during several talks, but the company in general avoids speaking about things which are not actual hardware yet.
Rest assured, however, suborbital systems in general are steeping stones to bigger things, much like Mercury was to Apollo.
Mercury was orbital after the first two manned flights, which used the same vehicle on top of a smaller rocket. Scaled Composites' work is not something that will apply to orbital flight (unless you want to re-create the space shuttle, and take a long time to get there).
Hardly a similar comparison. We know what it takes to get to space.
Hardly a similar comparison. We know what it takes to get to space.
Yes, and IBM, DEC, CDC, etc. knew how to build computers. So it *is* a "similar" comparison.
But there's a difference between merely "getting to space" (which was the goal in the 1960's) and getting to space affordably (which is the goal today).
If you just want to stuff an astronaut into a capsule and shoot him into space, regardless of cost or safety, that can be done pretty quickly. Especially if you buy the capsule from the Russians.
But that's not what we're looking for. The goal for companies like
Would we be better served via the public sector?
To develop much of the technology and necessary knowledge in the first place, probably. But to take it further and bring the costs down to within reach of more people, the private sector probably has a better chance. There's a role for both.
Their powered gliders are not susceptible to brute force attacks.
Coolest transformer..Powerglide G1. When is he launching? Yet another instance of life imitating art. His head is pointy though, maybe an ablative heat shield hat for re-entry!

Untapped potential in Agri-Environment Measures
The WWF study covers the Rural Development Plans (RDPs) of the 8 EU Member States in the Baltic Sea region and notes that countries seldom use agri-environment measures in a targeted way to achieve agreed objectives.
Also, there are no signs of cooperation between countries in setting targets, devising schemes, or evaluating effects on issues such as water quality, nutrient runoff and eutrophication, one of the most acute threats to the Baltic Sea. One conclusion is that even if the support clearly has positive effects, it clearly could be much more efficient.
The study also refers to assessments made by the OECD and the European Court of Auditors that show similar results.
- All these nations bordering to the Baltic Sea have a common interest in saving it. They should cooperate better on the issue, pooling resources, having the same objectives and be transparent toward NGOs and the civil society at large, says Lennart Gladh, Baltic Specialist at WWF.
Baltic Sea Member States and the EU have together allocated around € 8 billion to Agri-Environment Measures for the period of 2007-2013. The measure covers hundreds of environmental schemes, all unique to the country where they are in use.
- Today the system of Agri-Environment Measures is a maze, a thicket of countless sub-measures all over the place, says Lennart Gladh. There is no possibility to get an overview of what is being done and what the results are.
The WWF Baltic Ecoregion Programme is an active agent of change in the conservation and sustainable management of the Baltic Sea. It is comprised of WWF and NGO partners in each of the nine coastal Baltic Sea countries.

Which things people are most impress in website?Content or Design?
Depends on how you want to impress.
Design impresses ONCE -- it's that first impression. The problem is if you have content of value that people visit frequently, big fancy animated graphics heavy media heavy DESIGN is just going to piss visitors off.
Content is the gift that lasts -- it's the be-all end-all reason to even HAVE a website in the first blasted place; it's why for SEO the first thing you'll be told by anyone qualified to open their yap on the subject is going to be "content of value" -- it's why semantic markup and progressive enhancement exists.
In many ways, it's why the best design is one the user doesn't even notice; because if the visitor notices the design before they notice your content, you've probably done something wrong!
... and again, as I often say look at the big success stories of the Internet -- Google, Amazon, E-Bay, FaceBook, Slashdot... these are NOT exactly what you'd call a "visual tour-de-force"; they have content of value and design is more an afterthought. Hell, look at one of the shocking success stories -- CRAIGSLIST -- that design is so bad it makes Photoshop jockeys -- to borrow from Larry the Cable Guy -- have thier willy shrink in so far it ends up poking out their backside.
Though naturally all the scam artists at houses of ill repute like ThemeForest and TemplateMonster cry like five year olds every time you try to explain that to them.
Both are important but design comes first because a visitor first see the design of the website if he found the design interesting then only he will read the content. There are only few visitors who read the content first.
Design of a website is more important then the content. if you have a bad design user will leave your website immediately
actually its depends but in my opinion design is and the content both matter for the user attraction design matter and for the content matter for the seo point of view
When any user land on the site , Then first they check there look and feel .All the navigation work properly and user friendly . Then user check the content on this website .
thaversantosh;1344227 wrote:When any user land on the site , Then first they check there look and feel .All the navigation work properly and user friendly . Then user check the content on this website .
I hear people say that, and... well... I don't get it.
When I land on a website, the first thing I'm looking for is what brought me to the site in the first place, the content I'm looking for. If I notice something other than that, it's usually because some 'designer' pissed all over the page in photoshop making it difficult to actually do so.
Though I guess you could call that good design vs. bad design -- since as I said before a good design is one you don't actually notice and drives you right to what you landed on the site for in the first place -- the CONTENT.
On page of your website should be proper, always use quality and fresh contents to your website. The most important thing is always making use of related content to your website's niche and use knowledgeable and unique contents to your website.
In my opinion Both are the impotent content as well as design good content is interesting to read and design makes everything appealing.
I guess people always look for the exact information so if the website is designed in such a way that just a glance is enough to know everything, then it will good for the visitors. Also some eye catchy images attract the visitors most.
I think that it is important to distinguish between what you may look for in a site and what others do. I suspect that you are strongly content-orientated, and that is fine in itself. Historically the web has been predominantly an information medium. What is less appropriate is your apparent belief that others are, or should be, equally content-orientated. That is not necessarily the case. Increasingly, the web is becoming an entertainment and commercial medium. This does not negate the need for good original content, but it raises the importance of visual design alongside it. Web design has an important role to play.
Therefore I would suggest that you should distinguish between your views, and the views you think others SHOULD hold, and the views that others DO hold, however misguided you may feel that those views are.
Both Design help to user to visit your website & Content helps to bind up user more time.
jedaisoul;1347251 wrote:Increasingly, the web is becoming an entertainment and commercial medium.
Increasingly, the web is becoming an entertainment and commercial medium.
In which case my statement stands -- since that entertainment (media) is CONTENT.
You say "content first" and for some reason people seem to think you only mean text -- if you have a content image or movie you say that element's filename and alt text (or whatever is appropriate to the media type) in your starting flat text file.
If it's what the user is there to get, it's content. Therein that's the ONLY part of the site that really matters. Doesn't matter if that content is text, a movie, a sound file, or an image -- that's what people are going to the site FOR. Everything else is window dressing.
... and I'm not saying you can't make it attractive, but that should be the last step, like siding and paint on a house. There's no sense in trying to paint a house that the architect hasn't even laid out the frame for yet. It's akin to hiring an "artist" to design a skyscraper who knows nothing about architecture -- some thirteen years later and you're still pushing back the opening date after billions of dollars of cost overruns. Just ask New York City about that one.
... and if I'm pushing these views a bit vehemently, it's because I'm sick of watching people being led down the garden path to failure. Most of the 'artists' out there sleazing out PSD's simply don't know enough about HTML, CSS, emissive colourspace or accessibility to be 'designing' a blasted thing for anyone, which is why at the scam artist whorehouses like ThemeForest and TemplateMonster all you are going to find is a bunch of nube-predating bull none of which has any business being deployed on a real website.
Lemme put it another way -- ever wonder why Vimeo, or worse smaller sites have NO CHANCE of ever making a real dent in Youtube's traffic? How about how most official game websites are useless messes nobody goes to, allowing fan sites to blow them out of the water? Rockstar's official game sites vs. sites like GTAGarage (and it's dozen sister sites like gtav.net) comes to mind.
You don't have to look very deep to figure it out...
Oh, and yes, GTAV.net is a media heavy design heavy site with a lot of accessibility failings -- it's also content driven and a dozen times more useful than the steaming pile of artsy-fartsy crap Rockstar has because of it's clean navigation, layout and ability to actually SHOCK get at the content. I could rip it a new backside for the endless pointless DIV for nothing and outdated site building methodologies, but at least the content is there in a useful manner... there's no reason what a site like that has couldn't have been built the way I'm saying, faster and in less code for less effort, while being more accessible... but you go to http://www.rockstargames.com/V/ and all you end up with is the overwhelming urge to punch someone in the face from the splash screen/age verification ALONE. You get inside the site, it's such a slow loading bloated inaccessible mess of "I can haz intarnets" I would be genuinely shocked to find anyone who could call that site useful, much less worth visiting. It REEKS of letting some artists and scripttards just walk through a pile and track it all over the web!
There's a reason the 'design first' and "accessibility, what's that" approach to development is restricted to certain types of sites; most of which are miserable failures -- Brick and Mortars for whom a web-presence is an afterthought, small personal sites where someone got duped into paying their way into thinking they have a website, Official gaming sites where they are so obsessed with "wow" they don't care if anyone actually visits the pages, and of course, the personal sites of such designers themselves.
... and there's a reason you'd be hard pressed to find a major successful website using any of that crap. Unless you have a magical cult of followers like Apple or Ikea, flash over substance thinking is the road to failure.
We can't all have followers who go "I'll buy anything shiny with an Apple logo on it"
In my opinion both are important in a website.
Well written content keeps a user interested while design grabs the attention of a user.
It varies from people to people, I personally like Content over design, It doesn't mean I dislike design. They are still important factor to publicize your website among large amout of croud.
Probably the whole website design and of course its contents.
Thread closed.

What a great resource!ReplyDelete
I wasn't sure if I should buy this or not, but trusting your thumbs up as a sign I should.ReplyDelete
The enthusiasm everyone is showing for a magazine makes me so happy because I keep ending up having arguments with people about the importance of books and newspapers as a reading experience, and not giving in to letting the kindle or online media takeover from paper publication. So hurrah for pretty pictures on pages we can turn with our own fingers - excELLEntReplyDelete

Question - if someone asks me for the fountain for their party, am I supposed to provide the chocolate too? I know I shouldnt be responsible for the dippings, but the way the request was worded I am not sure if she thinks she is giving me the opportunity to use my fountain (I said something about using it in larger groups or the chocolate goes to waste, and she said 'you should bring it to XX party I am having', so I dont know what etiquette is for this one.
I love cheese dipped in chocolate. It's actually really good.

An entire community: volunteers, police and fire fighters combed through woods, rest stops -- all over Morenci and parts of Ohio looking for 5-year-old Tanner Skelton, 7-year-old Alexander Skelton and 9-year-old Andrew Skelton.
Katie Henricks joined the search efforts on Monday and like everyone gathered at the Morenci Fire Department, "I want to make sure we find these boys and bring them home."
Larry McCrea was going hunting today but quickly changed his plans when he thought of his own grandchildren, "I felt a calling to come look for these little boys."
More than two hundred people who were mostly strangers to the Skelton family spent all day looking for the missing children. Some were bused by caravan to Northern Ohio and some stayed near the border in Morenci to search the Green Valley Campground.
"We're going to eave no stone unturned," said volunteer Penny Ricker who has four children of her own and felt a personal connection to the Skelton family. "Hopefully we can bring them home," said Ricker.
Police say the boys were last seen on Thursday afternoon in their father's backyard on the 100-block of Congress Street in Morenci. But the details after that are unclear as the police say they're having a hard time believing the father's story.
"We can confirm that there's no established relationship between he and Joann Taylor," said Morenci Police Chief Larry Weeks.
Joann Taylor is the woman John Skelton said he met online and maintained a relationship with a few years ago. Skelton claims he gave the boys to Taylor so they wouldn't see him try to commit suicide. But police say the Joann Taylor that Skelton claims to have met -- does not exist.
"We can find a number of Joann Taylors so to say one doesn't exist is negligent. What I'm saying is a reported relationship between John Skelton and Joann Taylor does not exist," said Chief Weeks.
The Toledo Blade newspaper reportedly found Skelton's facebook page where he wrote as an update on Wednesday: "I love my wife very much. May God and Tanya forgive me."
Skelton has been admitted to a hospital in Ohio where he is being treated for mental health problems.
"How could someone do this to three innocent children?" asked volunteer Henricks.
"I hope they're alive and I hope I can find them," said McCrea.
"We're going to keep searching until we can't search anymore," said Ricker.
Police do believe the boys are in danger and have not ruled out the father as a suspect. If you have any information, even if you believe it to be minimal, call the Morenci Police Department's tip line: (517) 458-7104.

Main Site - :: Why Won't God Heal Amputees? ::
It was very frustrating because i had so many questions. If i opened up to my family or to people at school, i immediately met their anger. They, for some reason, were determined not to ask themselves these questions. I on the other hand couldn't get them out of my mind. I was told there was something wrong with the way i though, evil in fact. I was cautioned and advised but never answered and as my frustration grew i knew (and this because i had heard the story many times before) that despite all my religious perseverance and retaliation that i was bound to one day completely leave the faith.
While in college i entered that phase many of you probably know where you begin to openly challenge God. It begins in jest at first: snide remarks about prayer, faith, Christians, anything i felt might get me in trouble with his royal highness. Slowly however it got more serious. I went on this sort of crazed power-rush with it and in time my life had turned into this barefaced moral disregard for God as anything more than an idea or a guideline for human living. The very mention of God could set me off, i didn't care. The religious indoctrination had collapsed and i was loving the freedom.
What happened next is that i met what some men call 'the uncommon Christian'. A roommate in my fourth year i wont mention his name. He was very interested by my ideas and my views on life. His of course were very different from mine and so we hardly ever agreed on anything. The point though was that he listened, he reasoned and he rebutted. He found my ideas fascinating and listened much in the way that one listens to a child. At first of course i found this extremely frustrating. This was my life, my doctrine after all; they were the questions that had made me what i was and yet sometimes he would just laugh and shake his head. Others had refused my questions because it shook their beliefs, but that never bothered him. He didn't shrug them off either; I would watch him handle the statements, reason through them carefully, and yet even when he had no answers you would never see the slightest hint of doubt in him. This may not be so amazing to you but to someone who had lived his entire life filled with questions and doubts, i can looking back understand why i was so drawn to him.
One time a bunch of us followed him out somewhere and something happened then that completely changed my life. It was as if i all of a sudden had this revelation of who i was standing next to. When i went to sleep that night i knew i was a believer but i still didn't know what faith was. Back then i thought i believed because of the experience i had but with time, even when i began to doubt the experience, i still never doubted God. It was as if the belief had all of a sudden been grafted into my DNA.
I still have questions and i still have doubts, but despite everything i seem sure, you could say inside myself, that God is.
Sometimes i tell myself that i shouldn't be so sure, i lay down for hours considering all my doubts and reasoning how there are so many conflicting religions with no evidence. Sometimes i reason that Atheism of neutrality is the only bright choice, but once i get up and take a few steps, my thoughts float, carrying only so much weight as a brilliantly conceived fiction.
I've heard alot of the arguments, when i look at my mind and consider how i think it seems like i should be joining the Atheist camp but I'm just not. Can anyone relate to this or explain this in a way that is rational?

Frequently Asked Questions
Please add questions here.
I get errors about /dev/mapper/control when I try to use the LVM 2 tools. What's going on?
Is pvmove reasonably atomic? If the system goes down mid-pvmove, is my data hosed or do I just need to restart and try again?
I think I found a bug. What information should I gather and how should I report it?
Is there a way to activate/mount a copy of a volume group taken with a disk-array based point-in-time copy on the same host? The problem I have occurs because the disk-array copy contains all information on the disk, including PVID/VGID's, which is confusing for Linux's LVM.
I am using LVM2 in a shared SAN environment, and would like to restrict access to a single server, and periodically switch the access of the volume groups from one host to another. Under vxvm, "vxdg <import/deport>" does this, and for LVM1, I could use the "System ID". Can I do this with LVM2?
What does "Found duplicate PV bUO24Zb2mJGJrTSTRs87Lwrumlu72A1T: using /dev/loop2 not /dev/loop1" mean?
Can I use pvmove on root volume ? What's special with it ?
- Problem is that move will suspend (and lock) the root volume for short periods of time, and the program must not wait for something accessing it while that is the case or you may get deadlock. Selecting certain program options can cause this to happen.
- In particular, you must not set log/activation to 1, use in-filesystem metadata stored in that filesystem or use any --verbose settings. Using -i0 to avoid unnecessary userspace code and terminal ouput may also help.
Alternatively, to perform pvmove of root device you can
Boot from different device (live cd) and perform move from here.
If not possible: prepare environment and avoid some locking issues
- obviously, backup data on the volume you are trying to move
- - try to avoid moving swap (deactivate it)
- use statically linked binaries lvm.static (and dmsetup.static) (use lvm.static pvmove <pars> instead of pvmove)
- - move these binaries to ramdisk or volume not included in root (moving) volume (keep in mind that shell runs from moving volume too !)
- - run pvmove
- you can use pvmove --abort to abandon it or pvmove [or with same source pv as before] to retry.
- If it fails (or gets stuck)
- - if you reset machine, pvmove will restart automatically.
- (dangerous): you can wake up suspended device (which caused deadlock) by running dmsetup resume <suspended device>
- If it fails (or gets stuck)
Note if you are trying to do some debugging: What you're looking for is anything that attempts to access the device being moved (e.g /dev /var /etc) while it's suspended - that process will block, and if it happens to be holding on to any resource that pvmove needs before unsuspending the device, things will lock up when pvmove tries to get that resource. It helps to get several backtraces from the deadlock situations - need to include *every* process - and look for things that they have in common. See if you can get it working in simpler environments first - e.g. disable locking in the config file; try with /etc, /dev, /var etc. in ram filesystems.
How can I debug problem myself ?
- For reporting debug information use lvm_dump (see question above)
- Common debug practices
- get version of all subsystsems (LVM/dm library/kernel driver)
lvm version uname -a
- get version of all subsystsems (LVM/dm library/kernel driver)
reproducing problem with debug messages enabled set in lvm.conf
log { ... activation = 1
- and run command with debug switches
<command> -vvvv
- Get info about device mapper state
dmsetup info -c [--noopencount] dmsetup table dmsetup status
Sometimes adding --noopencount avoids the hang of dmsetup
- Provide process and memory information from kernel
echo t > /proc/sysrq-trigger echo m > /proc/sysrq-trigger ls -R /sys/block/dm*
I see "reload ioctl failed", what's wrong ?
- If you get
device-mapper: reload ioctl failed: Invalid argument
- .. and you recently updated kernel/lvm/device-mapper Check for versions (and update all components)
device-mapper package
lvm2 package
I cannot create more than X (usually 32) snapshots...
- Known problem - will be partially solved by new DM-IO interface.
- But anyway, current snapshot implementation is not properly designed for such type of operation (many snapshots will significantly slow down all IO).

When it comes to gaming, Microsoft couldn't be more focused as far as the Xbox One is concerned, as it plans to announce a number of big projects for the console next week. However, that isn't the only medium that the company is reaching out for, as it intends to do more gaming-oriented content for PC as well.
Phil Spencer, Xbox head of games, explained that the PC market should get just as big a focus as console gaming. When a fan inquired about a re-release of Rise of Nations on Steam, Spencer replied through his Twitter account (via Gamespot). "Steam is a great place to sell Win32 games. We acquired the IP for future work; I'm a big fan of the franchise."
But that's not all. When a user asked if such games would come to Games For Windows (in favor of downloading Steam), Spencer was quick to respond. "I agree that Microsoft needs to up our gaming presence on Windows. Part of my Xbox role is to bring back our Windows gaming focus." However, there's bound to be a different means to bringing them to the service, as Games For Windows Live is rumored to be shutting down next month. (A new way to get games is expected to be announced, perhaps as soon as E3 next week.)
Microsoft will continue to push for new ways to get games, as it's very pleased with the progress of some developers, such as Valve. Spencer has expressed gratitude towards the company in the past, and has promised "more focus" from the PC games division as a result.

Oracle's Sun Java JDK packages are to be removed from the Ubuntu partner repositories and disabled on users systems. Oracle, in retiring the "Operating System Distributor License for Java," means Canonical no longer have permission to distribute the package. The change will affect Ubuntu 10.04 LTs, Ubuntu 10.10 and 11.04 users only. Users who have the "sun-java-6" package installed on their system will see it removed via a future software update -- the exact date of which is "TBD."

RE: Forced removal
by chemical_scum on Wed 21st Dec 2011 17:58 UTC in reply to "Forced removal"
I'm sure anyone who knows their way around dpkg knows how to get around this, but still... nasty shock for the poor end-users, isn't it?
You don't even need to know anything about dpkg to avoid this. Just don't tick any updates for Java in software updates. I didn't know they were going to remove the plugin when I updated on Sunday so I lost it.
What is irritating is that after the inclusion in 2006 of the Sun binaries in the Ubuntu repositories it made it easy for new (and old) users to install Java. Now a new user has to deal with the command line and edit profiles to set environmental variables to get Sun/Oracle Java working. It's OK for me as I have been installing Java on Linux since 2000 but it's tougher for a newbie.
I need to run the Sun/Oracle Linux because a lot of scientific applications (and websites for the plugin) depend on the Sun extentions so I have to have it on my system rather than the OpenJDK for me to be able to work.

2012 Men's Soccer
Andrews and Johnson-Evers named All-HCAC
Andrews and Johnson-Evers named Second Team All-HCAC
November 8, 2012
BLUFFTON, Ohio - A pair of Bluffton University men's soccer players were honored for their work on the pitch in 2012. Sophomore Jordan Andrews (Clinton Township, Mich./Chippewa Valley) and freshman Ryan Johnson-Evers (Muskego, Wis./Muskego) both earned Second Team All-Heartland Conference acclaim.
Jordan Andrews moved up to the midfield after playing primarily as a defender during his freshman campaign. He was one of just four Beavers to start all 16 matches in 2012. Andrews fired 13 shots, placing three on frame. He has started all 34 contests in his two years at Bluffton.
Ryan Johnson-Evers was the backbone for Bluffton's defense throughout his first season of collegiate soccer. The freshman started all 16 Beaver soccer matches, finishing with two shots.
In conjunction with the All-HCAC selections, the Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference also announced the All-HCAC Sportsmanship Team for the fall of 2012. Sophomore Caleb Berlon (Kettering/Fairmont) was selected to the All-Sportsmanship Team from Bluffton. This award has been developed as part of a conference-wide sportsmanship initiative. Members of the All-HCAC Sportsmanship team are selected by the coaches and their teammates as individuals who demonstrate the ideals of positive sportsmanship both on and off the field/court of competition.
The Bluffton University men's soccer team finished their 2012 campaign with a record of 2-14 overall and 0-8 in the Heartland Conference. Full statistics and information on the 2012 men's soccer season are available online at www.blufftonbeavers.com/menssoccer.

User talk:Edmontonenthusiast
"Taking sides"
Regarding [1], the purpose of discussions is not for people to "take sides". It's to attempt to reach consensus through addressing others' arguments and attempting to find common ground. Feel free to delete this message, I'll know that you've read it (-: Cheers, JYolkowski 18:13, 8 January 2009 (EST)
I've blocked you from editing for 24 hours for edit warring, in accordance with your previous warnings on the subject. "arrogancy" can be defined as an "offensive display of superiority or self-importance; overbearing pride." That's an insult, and is not appropriate for talk page discussions. Gorilla Jones 00:01, 9 January 2009 (EST)
Gorilla - are we supposed to work on this site with a face that is so fake it is going to crack and where we lie so we don't get in trouble? Or are we one that is gonna be vocal about if they want something changed, are angry, and have a negative opinion of someone. You can't sugar coat it. It may be harsh - but it should be said. Grow up - and you are the adult? I don't mean to be rude, but it is simply how I feel. I am not saying we should completely humiliate a person till they cry, although Peter surely doesn't have much a problem with that. But, we should definitely not be ridiculed for having a negative opinion. edmontonenthusiast [ee] .T.A.L.K. 19:59, 11 January 2009 (EST).
Re: peter
Copied from my talk page:
If I may also interject, EE, occasionally I have to just ignore things on Wikitravel. It's called a wikibreak and sometimes they're needed -- just stop working on things and get your bearing about you and start contributing when you want to again. It doesn't have to be an all out vacation or break, but, if you feel like you're getting to your wits' ends, simply do not focus on perpetuating the issues that you and Peter have been having. Simply take a few steps back, focus on contributing to guides and that's it. Do, however, realize that you shouldn't disregard advice from the community -- we're all here to see a free, open source travel guide that's useful take root and better the world for travelers and the community provides you with advice because we all want to be successful in the project. I recommend that you listen to LT and focus on your areas of expertise and letting the conflict simmer down so that everyone around can take a step back and analyze the situation from a not-so-heated perspective. -- Sapphire • (Talk) • 11:27, 9 January 2009 (EST)
Hi EE, I noticed your recent message on Lt Powers talk page and the Deletion policy talk page and wanted to comment and provide some (hopefully helpful) advice.
First off, Peter deleting your comment. Reading through it, I found the tone on the provocative side. Saying stuff like "you and Peter are truly the only culprits" and "deal with me in a proper way" is only going to raise tensions further and when you're trying to make a point or get someone to respond to you in a constructive manner, that's one of the worst things you can do. I believe you've also been told in the past to watch the wording/tone of your comments. A number of admins (and I'm guessing Peter is one of them) take the position that if a user repeatedly makes provocative/aggressive/insulting comments after being advised they shouldn't, then the comment will be reverted.
Another example of this is your post to Lt Powers page, where you used language like "is getting quite arrogant". I do understand that it's hard to write something calm and civil when you're upset, angry, etc (I come from a family that likes to speak their mind). Regardless of how you're feeling though, and whether you're right or wrong or both, it's nothing more than a quick way to irritate the other person and get the comment reverted. And saying I was frustrated or provoked into it doesn't work. The people who best negotiate their way through conflict situations are those who stay calm, regardless of the provocations, and don't say things the other side can see as an insult. Your post would have been more effective if you had simply ended with "Why did Peter delete that?".
As a smaller point, jumping into Nrms' comment thread also seemed unnecessary. It was a discussion between Nrms, Peter and Cacahuate about the actions Peter was taking. You don't need to interject your side, many of us know it and we can all read the recent changes and the history and get up to speed pretty fast on what happened.
Finally, posting this comment string on Wikitravel talk:Deletion policy. First of all, as Ryan said when he reverted it, it was already covered on other pages. But secondly, there is a time to talk and make your case and there is a time to stop and keep quiet, and in my opinion, you do too much of the first and not enough of the latter. As I said above, we can all read the recent changes and the history pages and figure out what is going on. You don't need to repost comments from other pages and jump into discussions. As Sapphire and Lt Powers mentioned earlier, the best way you can help yourself right now is to take a break or do what you're good at (working on Edmonton, Alberta, Vancouver, Winnepeg, etc). Just lurking around and posting comments on talk pages repeating your position isn't going to help us move on, which is what I think we all need to do.
Cheers - Shaund 22:52, 10 January 2009 (EST)
Getting back on track
You have done a really nice job with the Edmonton pages, which are vastly improved over what they were in the summer [2], and hate to see you sidetracked. Try to stay focused on content, and avoid the project pages and talk pages, unless discussion specifically pertains to improving articles. If you need to, clear out your watchlist of all non-article pages. (that worked well for me on Wikipedia)
If you can get back on track with the Edmonton pages, I would be happy to provide some assistance. I did live in Edmonton for several years and do remember spending a lot of time ice skating in Hawrelak Park, as well as some of the indoor places (for free!). Also, spent plenty of time rollerblading along the river in the summer, cross-country skiing in the winter, and even playing ice hockey :) And Canada Day was tons of fun. Though it's been a few years since I was there. Now, I'm probably not too up-to-date on things, and might recommend restaurants that no longer exist. :( However, I could provide some peer review and guidance.
My time is fairly limited, so I would want you to stay focused on the articles and I can make some time to help. But, if you keep responding to drama on talk and project pages, then I don't see things being productive, and probably not worth my time to help. Let me know what you want to do. Cheers. Aude 19:40, 9 January 2009 (EST)
User block 2009-01-09
Hi Peter,
Just wondering what the block situation with Edmontonenthusiast tonight was about. I see nothing in his contrib log before the initial ban was put in place, and there is no obvious reason given for that block. Does an admin undo remove the edit record from the user's contrib log? You comment about Marc being w.in bounds of policy I find hard to justify when the raon of edit war-ing is given, but with no obvious trail. If things are removed from the user's contrib log on an admin undo, can I strongly suggest these be avoided so that the history is preserved so that people can see the edit war that was going on.
To be quite frank, I am starting to tire of this whole situation between yourself and Ee... While you are an admin (and a sysop?) and therefore a community member I has respect for, the constant battle between yourself and Ee is starting to get overboard. Yes, I know other admins have been involved, but it is your name that I see far more than anyone else's when dealing with Ee. I am not condoning his behaviour... I agree he has acted childishly at times, and against advice of others. However, he does appear to be trying to take things on board, but it's also clear that the 2 of you are now merely provoking each other, and it's going to cause more harm than good. The only way you are going to get through to Ee is to ban him. Remeber, he is young and so probably not used to this sort of collaborative environment and working with other people. However, the war this is turning into is not going to help him develop those skills; and, it has to be said, he is the future!
Can I suggest that you step back from the situation... There are other admins who Ee seems to listen to and who are, perhaps, more willing to take the time to re-educate him without things descending into a war between 2 people. Yes, I know others have tried and lost patience, but I would much rather someone who can get through to Ee take over and try and deal with this is a more constructive way. Plus there are many of us on here who are happy to do monitoring work to take care of any obvious problems.
I'm sorry if you are unhappy with anything I have said here Peter, and I hope you understand I am trying to take this from a totally neutral standpoint. I've not been here as long as you, and realise that as someone who has risen to the rank of admin you have put a lot of time and effort into the site. But I want to be clear that I am not taking anyone's side... As I said above, Ee has really not helped himself, but I do feel both parties here are now just provoking each other, which is only going to spiral into anarchy or a lot of bad fallout. However, I am just trying to be honest and offer a view on this from someone who has tried to remain as outside of the situation as possible.
As Ee himself would say, Keep Smiling! and I am more than happy to listen to anything anyone else has to say on the matter and try to find a constructive way forward for everyone for the sake of the project.
Nrms 17:03, 9 January 2009 (EST)
Peter's talk page
Remember how everyone agreed that you can delete comments from your talk page? That applies to Peter, too. If you can delete comments from your talk page, he can delete comments from his talk page. So if he deletes your comments from his talk page, leave it alone. Focus on something else. Gorilla Jones 18:30, 11 January 2009 (EST)
When Peter deletes only my stuff:
Maybe after reading this you can see my frustration. edmontonenthusiast [ee] .T.A.L.K. 18:34, 11 January 2009 (EST).
User page
EE, please give serious consideration to undoing this recent edit on your user page. Peter has agreed to step back from this, you should too (i.e., stop posting about it). Shaund 20:28, 11 January 2009 (EST)
Your recent edits
Welcoming new users
Hi EE, as we've discussed several times before, would you mind not welcoming new users? I'm not going to repeat the reasoning. I'm sure you can see how this would look provocative in light of current events – cacahuate talk 21:57, 12 January 2009 (EST)
Routeboxes - Banff
Hi EE, a little while back I raised an issue on the Talk:Banff page about whether it should be a control city between Calgary and Vancouver for the routeboxes. It's not a big city, but it gets something like 4 million visitors each year (about as many as Calgary). I think it should be a control city on the Calgary-Vancouver route, but I was wondering what you think before I did anything. Shaund 23:43, 12 January 2009 (EST)
User ban nomination.
I'm not trying to suppress your opinion. Far from it. You are welcome to create a section, and state your piece, or opinion or anything else. In my opinion that would be far better than tagging some lines on the end of everyone else's responses, which disorganises the process, and does you no favours. There is no benefit to anyone in stringing this out. If you really want to make a proposal, think about what it is, and put it in writing. --Inas 19:24, 13 January 2009 (EST)
EE, you mentioned that you have "some ideas". Is there a reason you're not sharing them? JYolkowski 19:46, 13 January 2009 (EST)
One month voluntary wikibreak
You have been asked on Wikitravel:User ban nominations whether you would accept voluntarily taking a one month total break from Wikitravel. Your options are:
1. "Yes", I accept the voluntary one month cooling period, during which time I will not contribute to any Wikitravel article (content or talk), under any name or anonymously (which can easily be traced to you through the logs). 2. Anything else, or no response within 24 hours, which will be taken as "No".
I strongly suggest that you accept: it will gain you respect and make it easier for you to come back. Jpatokal 00:25, 15 January 2009 (EST)

SANFORD — Goodall Hospital has a new digital x-ray and fluoroscopy room.
Shimadzu's Sonialvision boasts state-of-the-art digital technology that yields high-speed, high-definition images. Digital imaging means that Goodall Hospital's technologist never leaves the room because images display on a monitor in the room at the blink of an eye, allowing for safe, timely exams.
The adjustable height of the exam table allows a safe and easy transition for the patient to get on and off. The heavy-duty design supports up to 700 pounds, making it easy to accommodate bariatric patients.
The digital technology incorporated in this room allows for greater detailed imaging while also reducing the amount of radiation needed to create the images.
"This means patients will get a lower dose," said Kristen Hill, the marketing manager at Goodall Hospital. "Our mission is for exams to be safe, smooth, and stress-free."
Goodall Hospital's diagnostic imaging department offers services in Sanford, Kennebunk, and Waterboro. For more information on the services, visit online at www.goodallhospital.org.
