The 1952 release of Harry Smith's Anthology of American Folk Music was a compilation bringing together a selection of Smith's personal collection of 78rpm records. As such, it was effectively a bootleg and operated under the legal radar until it was digitised, re-mastered and fully licensed in 1997.
The recordings in the anthology are those from the early days of the record industry, a time which saw the establishment of a system that fixed collectively-authored folk lyrics and melodies to individual authors in an attempt to control the flow of this previously fluid cultural material.
The Parallel Anthology project aims to map the public/private territory of Smith's anthology and to scrutinize different levels of access to the material – researching details of future dates when compositions will enter the public domain, sourcing alternative versions of recordings, and gathering together fragments of archive manuscripts and lyrics.
Parallel Anthology volume 1 begins the process of collecting together alternative versions of tracks and makes available a small selection of public domain versions not closed down by copyright. Future volumes will collect, publish and distribute recordings whose proprietary interests have expired, along with new versions and remixes of the material collected.
The project re-envisages Smith's anthology as a series of nodes in a larger network and employs a kind of sonic virology – tracing songs across spatial and temporal distances.
A parallel collection is proposed: a new roots and future anthology, distributing rich material that remains open for use and reuse.

Robocode is an application that allows robots (small tanks) to go to
battle in an arena. You have to design the intelligence of your robot
yourself. This is done in the Java programming language. A while back,
I designed two simple robots. This page is dedicated to them. What's
really cool about Robocode is that by implementing just a couple of
methods, you can have immediate visual feedback (and gratification). My
robots do a little more than implement the bare basics, but are in no
way competitive with the worlds best. I think Robocode is a fun way of
learning how to program (and particularly in Java). It's fun to compete
with your buddies/colleagues.
When I got a my HP Jornada 760 series, I was eager to write some
software for it. Chai came pre-installed. Chai is a Java VM
implementation by HP. I don't think it exists anymore.
Dungeon Quest was one of the first proper games I wrote. It was way back in
1989. The program is written in QuickBasic, the graphics were done by
my brother. What follows now are the instructions the way they were
written many years ago. You can get the executable plus associated
files (including the source code) as a ZIP file from the the download
section of this site.
Will those MIDlets run on my device?

I'm not sure I like the premise of these "makeover" movies Total Beauty is featuring. Maybe the nerdy girl was happier in jeans and flannel shirts. You are promoting the stereotypical philosophy that somehow, pretty and well-dressed and well-coiffed go along with fitting in and happiness. IMO, this detracts from individualism and minimizes those who choose to march to the beat of a different drummer. A woman's worth shouldn't be measured in terms of the clothes she wears, but on her inner beauty.

Read more about our production on the "A Pilot's Story" Blog.
The story of flight is a sweeping saga that has exceeded the imaginations of even those who first dreamed it. And yet it unfolds (as all truly special stories do) in moments, places . . . and people. Always and ever in people.
Just above the heads of most of our brothers, sisters, coworkers, and neighbors there hang gossamer cathedrals of piled cotton below the cobalt dome of a perfect sky. But fewer than one in 500 will ever experience this through the front window of a flying machine. A Pilot's Story seeks out the special few who have answered the call of the skies, those with the discipline, aptitude, and courage to become pilots.
Filmed in hangars and homes, at restaurants and on ramps, A Pilot's Story tells the story of flight in the words of pilots themselves. What it means to fly an airplane all alone for the first time. What it means to fly an airplane for the last time. The easy rapport one can have with a person who is a complete stranger but for the shared experience of flying.
And the excitement that consumes pilots at the opportunity to share this world of aviation with non-pilots, airport communities, community leaders, and anyone else who will listen.
A Pilot's Story is a film for anyone who has sat all alone in an aircraft, firewalled the throttle, charged down the runway, and rotated. And especially for those who might if given the chance. For most people, the sky is the limit. For a pilot, the sky is home.
This is the story of the journey home. A Pilot's Story.

It happened again. And I love it!
I received a beautiful articulated, deeply reflective communication from one of our interns. This came as part of an ongoing conversation we've been having about the stressful situation they are in. This intern reflected on what had happened (neither of us would call it good), what the intern has learned, how God appears to be at work in the midst of it, and what they are doing in response. Wonderful!
One cannot be human, or do ministry, without encountering difficulty, pain, loss, or other varieties of stress. The origins of these hard challenges vary: sometimes we cause them, sometimes we contribute to them, sometimes they just happen and we are in the way. In any case, we live with the impact.
Many of you know that I have long appreciated the lens of Bowen Family Systems theory to view and interact with the world. One of the insights of this lens is: "What happens to you matters; what you do in response matters more." Or to paraphrase: "What happens is important; what happens next is crucial."
We cannot possibly avoid hard realities. Bad things happen. We say dumb things. We hurt (and are hurt by) others. We make mistakes. And when those things occur, the important question is, "Now what do I do?" Our temptation is to make things even worse by using a repertoire most of us know all too well: denying, blaming, excusing, wallowing, defending, personalizing, justifying…well, you know the list. But if/when we can respond utilizing another list, e.g., admitting, apologizing, reflecting, engaging, reframing, forgiving, recreating, etc., then bad things get better, rather than worse.
I think of these times as "Romans 8 moments." Among the most helpful portions of Scripture for me is Romans 8. It is a brief, profound expression of the realities of life and the promise that God works in the midst of them with and for us.
Internship year will offer plenty of opportunity for Romans 8 moments. I've had conversations with several of you already, and there will be more. I don't love it when you are in difficulty or stress. But I do love it when you respond to those challenges. And over and over again, I see you do it. If God is at work anywhere, God is surely at work in and through you at such times.
Ministry isn't easy, but it surely is good. God be with us all.

Learn French in Brussels, Antwerp, Gent and Liege or in another Belgium city of choice under the supervision of native speakers.
Click here for an overview of our French courses
Lerian's concept of tailor-made language training puts the emphasis on the student. Before the beginning of each course we analyse and establish the candidates' language proficiency levels and needs. Above all, we focus on finding the answer to one very important question: 'The vocabulary of which particular business field would you like to practise most?'
We create each tailor-made course on the basis of the above findings. During the training course we stress the language skills which will allow you to efficiently communicate and function in your specific business environment. Our method is based on:
Our tailor-made language courses make learning fun and actively encourage student participation. As a result, the progress made is higher and quicker compared to that booked during traditional French classes.
The chart below shows the standard language needs of Lerian-NTI's students. However, based on your specific language needs and language proficiency level we will create a custom-made module for you.
As a rule our trainers have extended professional experience in adult language education and business French and are native speakers.
In order to enhance the language learning process we offer online language aid available to all candidates.
From the beginning of each module onwards each student receives weekly 5 target-oriented electronic exercises via the e-platform. Additionally, all candidates are granted an access to our e-lexica program which contains specific professional vocabulary lists. This allows the students to practise their particular vocabulary at their own pace. The available vocabulary lists cover finance, EU-related terminology, negotiations, telephone manner, etc.

This is a side dish which can be served with any meat, fish or vegetable dish. Traditionally it is made with Greek strained yoghurt but can also be made with mayonnaise instead. A delicious, rich accompaniment to any meal!
These are delicious little rolls that you can have as a side dish or as part of a buffet. Ideally, the Greek cheese anthotiro is used (see post on Anthotiro Cheese), but if this is unavailable, riccota can be used.
A light but delicious main dish that can be accompanied by Greek salad. The name 'papoutsakia' means 'little shoes' in Greek and refers to the shape of the eggplants when they are served.
A firm favourite! This is probably starting to become more popular than the 'classic' moussaka which is made with meat.
Very popular in Greece, but perhaps not quite so well known outside the country. A delicious and healthy meal, ideally accompanied by a large slice of Feta cheese.
Eat and Enjoy!

Tropical Traditional Home
The Hawaiian home of Marion Philpotts Miller is edgy, youthful, and exotic
- « prev
- next »
- 1 of 13
Right next door to her mother's home, on a smaller lot bracketed by the same brisk stream and bamboo forest, Marion Philpotts Miller celebrates a family tradition of Hawaiian design. "Growing up with a designing mother, I assimilated lessons without even knowing it," says the second-generation interior designer and Oahu-born Hawaiian. "It was only when I started traditional design schooling that I realized the foundation had already been laid."
Yet there is a difference between mother and daughter's take on a common heritage: "I edit what I grew up with through a different set of lenses," suggests Marion. Her lenses are tempered with 25 years of living in San Francisco. "I have all of the tropical influences and the love of indigenous materials, but I also bring a little more of the edginess and youthfulness that comes from having lived in a more urban environment."
Like Hawaii itself, Marion's fresh look is ideal for raising a family. When she moved back to Honolulu with husband Jeff 10 years ago, their daughters, Marée and Makena, were only 5 and 9. "There's no better place in the world for children to grow up," attests Marion.
Still, much of what's edgy in her style takes its cues from the tropical environment. In the living room, it's the ceiling-mounted lavender pod light fixture, which suggests some exotic species of flora plucked, still moist, from the rain forest floor. "I try to include something in every room that will be a memory maker," says the designer. "This piece is fun, fresh, and almost organic. It's so sculptural that it becomes a strong art statement. Because it's on the center axis, it's the room's natural focal point." To integrate the dramatic fixture into the room, she tinted the previously taupe walls a pale, barely perceptible lavender.
In the dining room, the nature-derived zing comes from color itself. "It's so rich and wet where we live that red was the natural punch for the palette. I used it on accents in the living room, then brought it to the walls as the memory maker for the dining room. It's a happy color." No worries should the family tire of such a robust red on the walls--Marion will have changed paint colors long before that. "Before the red, the walls were chartreuse. I think I will probably go with indigo next."
For an enclosed sun porch, she painted the walls green. "In Hawaii, it's all about the indoor-outdoor connection," she explains. Porches, called lanais, are "the preferred places to hang out," says Marion, "because they capture the trade winds." The preferred seating is a punaee, or daybed. "We have one in our enclosed sun porch, and also on the porch itself. My mom also has one in her kitchen."
Like her mother, Marion enjoys designing with furniture that tells a story--in her case, the family's story. "We have a zillion hand-me-downs. The sofas were my grandmother's, as were the dining room table, chairs, and sideboard. Nobody wanted them, so we inherited them by default. But when you put these older furnishings in a context with contemporary art, they become fresh."
Also like her mother--and, as such, true to Hawaiian style--Marion pays homage to Asian cultures in her design. "Hawaii is exotic. When you look at the cultural language that exists, it's a melding of Japanese, Balinese, and Chinese all into one. Historically, Hawaii was a melting pot," Marion explains. In her family room, a sleek new red lacquer desk from Bali teams up with a folk-art Chinese wooden chair. On the bookshelves to the side, a Buddha bust and Balinese boxes attest to the Asian influence.
"I've also used black and white, which is very Asian," notes Marion. Plumped with black-and-white cushions, the fire pit's circle of black chairs are surmounted by Balinese silver woven globes strung from tree branches and illuminated at night. "There used to be a lot of importing to Hawaii, so our style tells stories of our rich heritage. The challenge is how to tell the story in a fresh way, so it doesn't feel tired and dowdy."
No such danger for Marion, who gravitates to a tightly edited graphic style. "I'm not a collector," she observes. "That's one way I exercise restraint. My style is more distilled than my mom's." An example is her revamped kitchen. Its island and window seat, each 11 feet long, parallel the new raised ceiling's grid for linear drama. "It's a little more severe and urbane than my mom's style."
But like her mother's, Marion's style--at least at home--is ultimately Hawaiian. "There's no formal preciousness to how we live here--just this wonderful embracing of what's been handed down. And it all begins with being true to the environment."

text: Thought I'd start this thread to praise Graeme Smith on what an exemplary display of not only leadership, but sportsmanship and determination he has displayed this summer. In the programme I received when I went to day 1 of the Oval Test, it had a picture of something called "Smith's secret fridge notes" which is a sheet of paper he stuck on his fridge when he was 19 that someone managed to get hold of, showing all his short, medium and long term goals in his career and his life - there were about 15-20 things on the list, and he has already accomplished every single one of them, the last of which was captaining South Africa. That man is more driven to succeed than anyone I have ever seen. Not only that, but he would not appear to have let his determination to succeed affect his character one bit. He has led his team brilliantly this summer, and has dealt well with the fact that they did not enjoy the success they deserved for some excellent performances. They would have won at Edgbaston if not for the rain, and could quite conceivably have passed 700 in their first innings (if not for day 2's abandonment) - thanks largely to Smith's incredible 277. They crushed England at Lord's and Headingley, and did not disgrace themselves in the matches they did lose, despite the loss of several key players at various points over the summer. Over the course of this summer he has been inundated with media interference, along with rumours of a split in the camp after the ODIs, and his handling of the media has been akin to that of a man who has been captain for 6 years, never mind 6 months. There is a certain Steve Waugh-like intensity to the way he does everything - the way he encourages his players in the field, the way he bats, the way he is relentless in his pursuit of victory, the way he talks passionately to the media about his captaincy and how much it means to him - all the actions of a man who is 300% confident in his own ability to lead his side to victory. I have been fortunate enough to meet the man twice this summer, after the tour match at Taunton where he scored 152, and after day 1 at the Oval. On both occasions he has been friendly, courteous, and more than willing to sign autographs and socialise with the public - even encouraging his less accommodating team-mates (cough....Charl Willoughby...cough cough) to do so. And the guard of honour his team formed for Alec Stewart was one of the greatest displays of respect and gratitude towards a fellow sportsman and for his achievements I have seen. I am only 16, and therefore look forward to growing up with the career of a man who is just about the ideal role model for young cricketers worldwide unfolding before my eyes. Thank you South Africa for providing World Cricket with a future giant of the game, and thank you Graeme Smith for providing English supporters with a wonderful summer of Test cricket. OK, this post has gone on far too long - I'll shut up now.

The National Aquarium, in partnership with Rams Head and the Pier 6 Concert Pavilion, recently converted an unused area of turf on the western slope of the pavilion into a native plant garden!
This new garden will help filter runoff and provide food and habitat for local pollinators and birds, as well as educate concert-goers on how beautiful and carefree a bay-friendly garden can be. Kyle Muellhauser, owner of Rams Head and a big supporter of the National Aquarium, approached our Conservation team and asked if we would be interested in using the space for an educational display. As we discussed ideas, we focused on something that would be attractive to visitors and also could inspire them to look at their own yards in a new way.
By planting native plants at home, you are not only providing food and habitat for wildlife, you are also decreasing the amount of fertilizer, water, and time needed to create and maintain an attractive yard. We chose native, drought-tolerant plants that would add interest to the site and would need little long-term care. Included in the list of plants were black-eyed susans, Christmas ferns, tickseed, blazing stars, American holly, joe-pye weed, and bee balm.
Two staff horticulturists took the lead on the project and designed the garden. They used similar plants and ideas from our Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Waterfront Park, a much more extensive version of a Maryland native garden. By choosing species that are native to this area and are proven to thrive in downtown Baltimore, we can be assured that this new garden will continue to educate visitors for years to come. The next time you attend a concert at the Pier 6 Concert Pavilion, don't forget to check out the garden to see what is in bloom and get inspired to create your own bay-friendly garden.

Rail passengers are being warned that engineering works over the next few weeks will affect journey times between the north east and the central belt.
The ScotRail Alliance is urging customers to check their journey times before they travel.
Due to track maintenance works, there will be no train services between Dundee and Aberdeen. Instead, replacement buses will be provided, calling at all stations on the route, which will lengthen journey times.
Onward rail services from Dundee to Perth, Edinburgh and Glasgow will operate as normal.
To avoid disappointment, the train operator is encouraging customers to plan ahead and check their journey plans on the ScotRail app or at scotrail.co.uk
A ScotRail Alliance spokesmann said: "These are vital works and we appreciate our customers' patience. We would ask that they carefully check their journey plans, as the replacement buses will take longer than the trains, which could impact on onward connections."

jorgstyle needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 153 designs submitted by 36 freelance designers.
Identity Castle
We are an identity theft protection company. We help people to defend and recover from identity theft.
Our target market is U.S. consumers that have concerns about identity theft. Subscribers fall within a wide demographic since every person in America is a potential customer.
The name of the company is Identity Castle and the logo should have both the name and the castle in it. The logo should be able to be used as a 300x150 logo but also look good larger and smaller.
The Logo should be gray, blue and black with a clear/transparent background.
The font should be strong and bold.
The castle should look secure and stable, without looking like a vampires home.
Use the attached files and our website http://www.identitycastle.com for inspiration.
We are looking to connect with a designer that gets our style for ongoing work.

OK you've gotten your code to compile and it produces the correct and desire output.
Now it's time refactor that spaghetti you call code.
Why Refactor?
- Cleaner looking Code
- Easier to reason about
- Easier to maintain
- Easier to alter
- Easier to debug
- Reusability.
- Potentially Smaller size
- Potentially Quicker code.
Let's start with the easiest.
Are the identifiers meaningful and informative?
- Namespaces
- Class Names
- Structure Names
- Interfaces.
- Method Names
- Field Names
- Parameter Names
- Variable Names
Nope,then rename them.
One Class Or Structure per a file.
You can also place then in VS Solution folders, that reflect the Namespaces
What if your it has multiple inner classes? Use Partial Classes.
Partial Class End Class
This approach makes it a lot easier for different people to work on different parts of the design, where the version control system restricts access to a single user per a file.
Don't repeat yourself.
Are you repeating sections of code, then it a good indication you may need a function, or to store the result of the function. This is all about looking for commonalities in your code base and minimising them.
For example doing bounds check to see if a value is between to limits.
If (0 < Value) AndAlso (Value <= 100) Then If (0 < Value1) AndAlso (Value < 100) Then
Can be refactored into a function (snippet: _IsBetween)
If Value._IsBetween(0, 100,,Exclusive) Then If Value1._IsBetween(0,100) Then
See how much easier it is read and understand.
For example conditionals.
Dim result = (x < 100) AndAlso (x> 0) OrElse (y = 10) If result Then
Don't rely operator precedence.
Make it explicit by using parenthesis ( )
Take the previous code example
Do you mean?
Dim result = ( (x < 100) AndAlso (x> 0) ) OrElse (y = 10)
Dim result = (x < 100) AndAlso ( (x> 0) OrElse (y = 10) )
Stop comparing against a Boolean in an IF-Statement, when the result is already a Boolean.
If result = True Then Else End If
Also remove any empty clauses.
Just using the Else Clause then invert the condition by prefix it with a Not
If x = 10 Then Else ' Only do this End If
Can be rewritten as
If Not (x = 10) Then End If
or use the complementing operator
If x <> 10 Then End If
List of complementing operator
Op /Op = <> <> = < >= <= < > <= >= <
If the clause contains a single statement then use the single line if statement.
If {boolean} Then {do this}
If the both clauses manipulate the same variable, then it could be combined into a single IF-Expression.
Dim x = 2 IF some_Condition Then x = x + 1 Else x = x + 2 End If
Refactors into
Dim x = 2 x = If(some_Condition, x+1, x+2)
Notice the repetition we could also eliminate?
Simplify the conditions.
Refer back to your Boolean Algebra and De Morgan's Laws.
Don't be afraid to make additional Classes, Structure or Interfaces
You can then exploit the compiler and the type-checking it does on your behalf.
Using variables that in association represent something or concept then make a new class / structure to encapsulate and capture that notation. For x , y , z are representing 3d coordinates then define a new coordinates class.
Always seem to be passing around the same variables to methods. Then make a new class / structure with those variable. Create and instance with those values and pass that around instead.
Now you can refer to them as a single object.
For example co-ordinates
' Co-Ordinates 1 Dim x As Double = -1 Dim y As Double = -2 Dim z As Double = -3 ' Co-Ordinates 2 Dim x1,y1,z1 As Double
Use properties with backing non-public backing field.
This means no public fields at all, which allows the object to control it's own internal state via properties, methods and functions.
Try and make your objects as Immutable as possible.
This mean only have ReadOnly Properties and non-public fields, and the any change of (internal) state must result in new instance that reflects that change. This current instance can not change any of it's state.
Exploit Generics
This will allow you write one method or implementation that is applicable to many similar implementations.
For a example this will swap the contents of two variables, without boxing then unboxing.
<Extension> Public Sub SwapWith(Of T)(ByRef x As T, ByRef y As T) Dim tmp As T = x x = y y = tmp
Utilise and Exploit Inheritance
Let's say you want to implement some for of unit system.
Start with a non generic base class
Public MustInherit Class UnitBase Protected Friend _Symbol As String Friend Sub New(Symbol As String) _Symbol = Symbol End Sub Public ReadOnly Property Symbol As String Get Return _Symbol End Get End Property Public Overrides Function ToString() As String Return _Symbol End Function End Class
Then a more specific UnitValue class
Public MustInherit Class UnitValue Inherits UnitBase Protected Friend _Value As Double Friend Sub New(Value as Double, Symbol As string) MyBase.New(Symbol) _Value=Value End Sub Public ReadOnly Property Value As Double Get Return _Value End Get End Property Public Overrides Function ToString() As String Return String.Format("{0}{1}", Me.Value, MyBase.ToString()) End Function End Class
Now a more generic UnitValue class. This allows use to exploit restricted generics at the operator level
Public MustInherit Class UnitValue(Of T As {New, UnitValue(of T)}) Inherits UnitValue Implements IComparable(of T) Friend Sub New(Value As Double, Symbol As String) MyBase.New(Value,Symbol) End Sub Public Shared Operator +(ByVal lhs As UnitValue(Of T), ByVal rhs As UnitValue(of T)) As T Return New T With { ._Value = lhs.Value + rhs.Value} End Operator Public Shared Operator -(ByVal lhs As UnitValue(Of T), ByVal rhs As UnitValue(of T)) As T Return New T With { ._Value = lhs.Value + rhs.Value} End Operator Public Function CompareTo(other As T) As Integer Implements IComparable(Of T).CompareTo If Me.GetType() <> GetType(T) Then Return 1 Return Me.Value.CompareTo(other.Value) End Function Public Shared Operator =( lhs As UnitValue(Of T), rhs As UnitValue(Of T)) As Boolean Return lhs.Value=rhs.Value End Operator Public Shared Operator <>( lhs As UnitValue(Of T), rhs As UnitValue(Of T)) As Boolean Return lhs.Value=rhs.Value End Operator Public Shared Operator >=( lhs As UnitValue(Of T), rhs As UnitValue(Of T)) As Boolean Return lhs.Value>=rhs.Value End Operator Public Shared Operator >( lhs As UnitValue(Of T), rhs As UnitValue(Of T)) As Boolean Return lhs.Value>rhs.Value End Operator Public Shared Operator <=( lhs As UnitValue(Of T), rhs As UnitValue(Of T)) As Boolean Return lhs.Value<=rhs.Value End Operator Public Shared Operator <( lhs As UnitValue(Of T), rhs As UnitValue(Of T)) As Boolean Return lhs.Value<rhs.Value End Operator End Class
OK we've sorted out the base classes lets implement a few Units.
Public NotInheritable Class Metres Inherits UnitValue(of Metres) Public Sub New() Me.New(0.0) End Sub Public Sub New( Value As Double) MyBase.New(Value,"m") End Sub End Class
Public NotInheritable Class Feet Inherits UnitValue(of Feet) Public Sub New() Me.New(0.0) End Sub Public Sub New( Value As Double) MyBase.New(Value,"'") End Sub End Class
By using inheritance we can place common functionality in a parent class, which because is inherited can be used in the child classes. For example we haven't had to replicate and duplicate the implementation of addition and subtraction for each UnitValue. If the implementation a Unit needs can be specific implementation it can added to that specific class's implementation or overloaded.
Separate the GUI/UI from the Logic and the Logic from the Data
By separating the design out into clear and distinct layers. Data -> Processing -> Control -> GUI
This is approach is often know by the Model View Controller approach.
By layering the design we can easily change the GUI (or implement multiple different GUI over the same Model layer).
Or change the Data Layer (for example use a different database) without affect the other layers.
Design Against an Interface rather than specific Classes / Structures
By doing this you don't tied your design to a specific implementation, just so long as the implementation has the same interface design you work with.
This approach is the secret behind how plugins work.
On to the hardest of them all.
Think about the design before starting to code.
Plan the design on whiteboard.
Do you have any other tips for others that you use when refactoring your code?
If so, add them as a reply to this thread.

Thanks for one of them are totally dependent on one man
giving us that for free using his server.
Keep in mind that the middleman making this possible Net2Max.com can only provide so many channels, so "Please don't abuse it, or We'll all lose it"
And Gizmo write this
What we've done is create a SIP alias for every Skype user. So if you want to call a Skype user named echo123 you simply dial firstname.lastname@example.com from any SIP aware device (which is just about every piece of VOIP equipment). Users can even have any SIP call forwarded to their Skype address using my.gizmo5.com.
All calls up to five minutes are free, while longer calls are going to cost you money.
which shows it only works fhorugh a middle man.
Unless some clever person look into the server that Opera use
and if one can make such a thing on every Opera browser.
I doubt that is possible or one would have heard of it by now?
What I could do is talk to her and her Fiance or what name to use.
Her BoyFriend and them both get puppy to boot in frugally or through
VBox or something and that way them can talk to each other for free.
I use Google Search on Puppy Forum
not an ideal solution though

Thanks nooby for confirming that the Old Original PSip is still fit for purpose - so that should maintain retro-capability to the 4-series Puppys, which is lacking in this year's versions? - I must check that out, I fear that voice quality issues may persist with the 4-series sound setup, but nooby sounded pretty good in the last conference; I surmise however that he was using a later Puppyversion.
Thanks DPUP5520 for the links re. Skype access .... I have no interest in M$Skype, but was intrigued by those net2max.com offerings re. PSTN/VoIP connections .... so much so that I've spent an hour or two trawling through their blurb. (I hope that they are good guys and deserve my good wishes for success in their innovative enterprises, but their screed scares me and ensures that there's no way they get my bank card details).
I am dismayed by the apparent general lack of enthusiasm here for PSip, which the regular contributors to this thread know to work remarkably well once sound/Puppyversion/hardware/duff connection hurdles have been surmounted.
Perhaps The Great Leap Forward for Psip will be the availabilty of cheap calls to/from those without a SIP code, i.e. the PSTN? So far nobody has reported success with this. If you have found a service provider which connects PSip - public networks calls reliably and economically, please, do tell!

Ok Just installed psip32 1.3 on Lucid Puppy 5.2-update1 (yes I'll get round to upgrading to latest 5.2.8 some time). Gave it my sipgate details and it seems to work with a couple of problems.
1) If I enter a proxy sipgate.co.uk as sipgate recommend then the login never completes and hangs for ever. EDIT:Found the problem - I needed a "sip:" before sipgate.co.uk. Why do I need the "sip:" field in front of URL, registrar and proxy anyway? Don't need this for other clients I've tried. If I forget it it should not hang for ever with no error in any case.
2) Incoming PSTN callers to my sipgate Direct Dial In phone number do not hear a ring tone. They just hear silence after dialing until I answer then they hear my voice.
Are these known issues? Any suggestions?
Just to confirm I can successfully make and receive calls to/from the public telephone network via psip32 and sipgate.

Has any member[/b] of this thread-forum used PuppyPhone to

Yes. I am using it and can call real phones (no client needed) and to receive calls. Works ok except user calling from a real phone does not hear ringtone. (they do if I use other clients than psip). Perhaps the psip client is missing sending a signal to say it is ringing? See my previous message in thread. EDIT: Actually it appears incoming callers are not getting charged by their Telephone Co. either even though the call connects!! Probably a timeout limit on that I guess but it looks like psip may be missing some signalling.
sipgate is pay as you go and it is totally free if you just use it for incoming calls - they give you a number for free. Any of tbe developers tried it with psip?

Hello Folks.
Recently started using Puppy and really like it.
Would like to get the SIP phone working reliably and properly. Using Lucid 5.2.8.004 with PSIP 0.12 included. Are there newer versions available?
I read through the 16 page thread linked from the client and then discovered this one with 35 pages. Will take a while to read it all.
I can get PSIP to work sometimes but often it seems to stop working. Difficult to figure out what is wrong when the "fault" is intermittent like that.
I have two sound cards and want to be able to route the telephony audio to my second card (as I do with Skype). I like to separate it from other audio sources running on the computer. There is something about device ID's in the pjsua info but I wasn't clear about what it meant. Where do I find the soundcard device ID's?
Happy to do test calls or conferences. Using sip:email@example.com as my main URI for now.
The reg timeout default is 55 but in other clients it often is 3600. I take it this is not a problem. Also tried putting "iptel.org" into the realm field but don't think it makes a difference from wildcard.
If PSIP is still in development, can I install other sip clients in Puppy and how do I do that?

: Welcome to the kennels!
You might by now have followed Lobster's link and downloaded/installed the latest version. If not, i recommend you do so and, if you log on to Psip tonight, (Oz time, don't know where you are), there are usually a couple of us around and perhaps we can help you get sorted if you still need help.
Best way to start with it is to open Psip, add your own contact details, open the "Setup" menu at top left, enter your connection details in the "Account" tab ( BTW, just use the asterisk wildcard for realm).....at this point, before worrying about "Audio", "Network" or "Misc" tabs, quit Psip so it will create a configuration file. When you relaunch it, see if the Audio settings are correct and make any other necessary adjustments.
The current versions of Psip only use one .conf file, so there are no pjsua thingies to play with..
To be able to connect with us, you'll need to add us to your contact list, so you can see if we're online, otherwise we don't show up, AFAIK ....you'll find me at sip:firstname.lastname@example.com. Smokey01 is one of Psip's developers, so he's much more knowledgeable about it and usually checks in at some stage. CatDude is also very clued up and they're both with iptel.org as well (using all lowercase usernames).

I am logged in to iptel and can make some calls but the iptel utilities including conference don't seem to be working for me. With conference I get a split second of audio, sounds like the start of a welcome greeting but then all goes quiet. Echo and music test give nothing. I got some IM's from you (saying you were in conference) and tried to reply but don't think you received it.
The first call from you worked for a bit but I answered it with the config window open and then when the saving ram message came up the call dropped.
Think the audio devices selector is working OK.
I can call the Wideband Audio Demo (demonstrates the G722 codec)
I can call Mouselike test facility
Calling toll free US numbers is working eg voice-interactive "Tell Me"
I am in England and there is a provider of free UK numbers which they route to a sip softphone. The caller pays normal national rates to call from a landline (mobiles may cost more). Useful if you want to advertise a number publicly and answer the calls with PSIP. (uknumber.co.uk)
Still not sure if I should use ice. Iptel say that use of stun is not recommended but with some other clients I found I needed it.
Will do more testing and see what's what.

Connecting to music@iptel if I tick and untick the "hold" I get a very brief burst of audio. Looking at the "stats" button I see it is trying to use speex. I wonder if it is a problem with this codec as mentioned in the previous version conf file.
How do I disable speex codec in this version? The conf file for this is located in the ~ directory and not in /root/.psip is this correct?
Regarding peer-to-peer, I have used audio servers quite a bit in this mode, Icecast, Shoutcast, that sort of thing. Anyone can connect to my PC directly and receive whatever audio I am sending. Usually the client needs to be listening for connections and if you are behind a router you need to set the NAT port-forwarding manually.
With PSIP I am not sure that just having the client running would maintain ports open and a path through NAT to listen for any other client attempting to make the connection and call you.
For dynamic IP address problems I have used no-ip.com but you need to have the "Dynamic Update Client" running to maintain the connection from your name domain to the dynamic IP and I don't know how to install that in Puppy.
I would be up for some testing though at some point. I have a single port modem/router which gives me an internet IP address (which I could give you at the time) rather than a LAN one. I think it will work, the problem would be how to make it user-friendly for the general public.

OscarTalks what sort of computer do you have?
Is it older than about 7 years? If so that may be your problem as some others have difficult running the later Psip on older computers. There are a few people that use the 0.26 version which works quite well on older computers.
I have just compiled 1.3 for Saluki which seems to be quite stable.
What OS are you using?
Have you read the help file?
Psip is very lightweight with exceptional sound quality. As russoodle said, a few of us get together most mornings (UK time) for a bit of a chat.

This computer is quite old (7 years ish) and in fairness is short on RAM but I was hoping I might be able to get it to work. Might try on a higher spec computer later.
If I want to try 0.26 should I uninstall 1.3 first? Would prefer to stick with 1.3 if possible though.
OS is Lucid 5.2.8-004
Have read the Help file now and think I do pretty much understand everything.
Wonder if some sort of codec management should be included, disable, order of preference perhaps.
At the moment I can't log in with any sip account or any client, even in windows, so beginning to suspect my ISP is restricting something.

Installing Psip 0.26 will not affect your 1.3 installation as it completely installs to a different directory.
You will end up with two menu entries under Internet but they are different icons. You will be able to run each Psip separately, just don't run them at the same time.
Also if you use 0.26 make sure you shut it down properly from quit on the drop down menu or it may to continue to run in memory.

I think it tells puppy to use a specific sound card and isolate the others. I haven't tried it but others have with success.

After losing all sip connectivity while experimenting I switched everything off and went for a walk to clear my head. With the problem on all computers and all clients and all accounts I thought it must be either the ISP or the router.
I rebooted the router and could log in again so at least that was something.
Then I hooked up my new, high-spec computer but found that the symptoms were pretty much the same. Iptel utilities not working and call drops after exactly 32 seconds on calls to certain domains including iptel and alcazarnetworks. Calls to some other domains were fine though.
Still thinking the problem must be related to the router I UNTICKED the "enable SIP ALG" option in the router's advanced settings and found that iptel utilities suddenly burst into life and the calls didn't drop after 32 seconds any more
Some of the other calls that I was able to make before were now not working. I was getting a connection but it wasn't resolving the audio paths so I could hear nothing.
Tried ice but it didn't seem to make any difference.
Stun has always seemed to help with audio resolution problems in the past, so even though iptel advise against it I set one (stun.noc.ams-ix.net) in the field in the "network" tab of the PSIP set-up and got audio back on all the calls, so looks like I may be finally making progress. Don't want to speak too soon though, need to do more testing.

With the help of OscarTalks we have managed to get Psip working without having to register with a SIP provider such as Iptel. Psip actually works quite well in peer to peer mode so you don't really need to connect via a SIP provider. The main problem though is dynamic IP addresses which most people have.
OscarTalks has suggested a solution which works very well. The answer is no-ip.
Check out this web site:
No matter what you IP address is the no-ip site will be able to resolve your address.

Apartments for rent in Sri Lanka mostly have 2 to 3 bedrooms with attached bathrooms. These offer common facilities. Luxury houses and properties listed on popular real estate websites usually offer sustainable energy and eco-friendly sources such as solar powered hot water systems. 5-6 bedroom houses designed elegantly are suitable for both offices and residence purposes. These have car park area for multiple vehicles, easy access to main road and indoor or rooftop pools. When you rent houses in Sri Lanka usually a 6 month security deposit is required. The rent will be higher for furnished houses and apartments. But this is more convenient than buying new furniture and fittings, especially for expats interested in long term rent. Meanwhile, an annex for rent in sri lanka is a cost-effective option for individuals or small families. These are likely to be a small house for rent and have a living room, bedroom and a common bathroom.
If you still prefer to pay by mail, please ensure you are mailing your rent EARLY to allow three to five business days for delivery and processing. When you receive your monthly rent statement each month, just tear off the remittance slip and place it in the enclosed envelope with your check or money order made out to "New York City Housing Authority."
You can store multiple payment methods in your account, allowing you to pay your rent from multiple sources – for example, part from checking, part from savings, and part on a debit/credit card. More information about rent payment upgrades is coming shortly. If you have any questions in the meantime, please contact your property management office.
NYCHA and other City employees can participate in NYCHA's automated payroll rent deduction program. Half of the monthly rent amount will be deducted from the first two paychecks of every month. Deductions can be higher than half of the monthly rent because deductions are half of the outstanding balance, not just the rent. If no deductions are being taken out, the development did not enter the employee into the system or his or her agency is not part of the program. To terminate payroll deductions, a termination form must be completed and submitted to your property management office. To sign up, please click this link: NYCHA Self-Service Login/Register.
In 2017, 37,000 homes were built as rentals, according to the National Association of Home Builders. That grew to 43,000 last year, or just under 5% of total single-family housing starts. But that is just homes built and held by builders for rent and doesn't include those sold directly to investors, so the numbers are likely larger and growing more quickly.
The only operating expense for landlords is the landscaping. In addition, the rents for single family are growing fast at 4.5% annually now compared with 3% rent growth for multifamily apartments, according to John Burns Real Estate Consulting. There is also much less turnover in single-family rentals, and the rental market is much less volatile than the home sales market.
NYCHA will automatically transfer your information to the new payment processing service. If you currently receive your rent statement online or if you have a recurring payment set up, your information was transferred to the new system. You will receive an email letting you know your information has been moved over to the new system with a temporary password. Please sign on and create a new password and review the transferred information for accuracy.

text: The Mormon Tabernacle Choir made their public debut on August 22, 1847, just 29 days after Brigham Young and his 147 followers first settled in the Salt Lake Valley. John Parry was named the choir's first official conductor in 1849, and two years later, construction was completed on the first Tabernacle church, followed in 1867 by the dome-roofed Tabernacle facility which still exists. The 150-member choir assembled for the facility's October 6th opening was at that time the largest in the U.S., their voices accompanied by a mammoth organ featuring some 2000 pipes. The Mormon Tabernacle Choir made its first official recordings for Columbia on September 1, 1910; their weekly radio broadcast, Music and the Word, premiered on CBS affiliate KSL on September 15, 1932, and continues to air, enjoying the longest uninterrupted network run in American history. In 1959, the choir's recording of "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" earned a Grammy, followed over the years by a number of gold and platinum records; the latter-day Mormon Tabernacle Choir counts 300 members and continues to record and tour on a regular basis. ~ Jason Ankeny

former member of the Defenders
Base of Operations: Formerly Defenders Mansion, Colorado
Rocky Mountains
First Appearance: DEFENDERS #94
History: Before the rise of Christianity, the gods of
various extradimensional pantheons held far greater sway on
Earth than they do today, and faries and elementals abounded
on Earth. But as Christianity spread, the old polytheistic faiths
died out. Many of the air and earth elementals degenerated mentally
and physically into demons.One cathedral was erected upon a
place of mystical power, which entered into the church's gargoyles,
granting them awareness but not mobility. One day centuries
ago, Derwydden, last of the Druids, came to the Cathedral. Were
members of a polytheistic who inhabited ancient Britain and
Gaul in the age that faeries and elementals still abounded on
Earth. Derwydden was studying to become a Druidic priest, but
set out to sea after committing a breach of discipline. He was
saved from drowning by sea sprites, who cast him into suspended
animation. When he finally awoke, the Druidic religion had died
and the magical beings of that faith had vanished. The shock
drove Derwydden mad, and he used his sorcerous powers to grant
life to the cathedral's gargoyles to take vengeance on the followers
of the new faith, Christianity. One of these gargoyles was the
demonic being now known as the Gargoyle of the Defenders.
Appalled by the violence wreaked by the gargoyles, Derwydden
came to his senses and used his magic to drawn them back to
the cathedral and become stone once more. But a few, including
the Gargoyle, were strong-willed enough to resist Derwydden's
power. They escaped, and the Gargoyle preyed upon human beings
for centuries.
Eventually the Gargoyle came to the attention of the Six-Fingered
Hand, A league of minor demons. They treated the Gargoyle as
a slave, and when he rebelled, they determined to punish him.
The Gargoyle's fate became linked with that of a aged man named
Isaac Christians, mayor of Christianboro, Virginia, a town principally
built up by his father. In recent years, though, Christianboro
was tottering on the brink of economic ruin. Christians had
studied the occult, and decided to use it to save the town.
He contacted the demon Avarrish, a member of the Six-Fingered
Hand. Christians agreed to allow his spirit to inhabit the body
of a gargoyle temporarily and to do the bidding of the Six-Fingered
Hand for that time in exchange for the solution to Christianboro's
ills. Christians' spirit was place in the body of the Gargoyle
himself, and Christian was assigned to aid in capturing Patsy
Walker, who as Hellcat was a member of the Defenders.
Christians returned to Europe and entered a degrading relationship
with Germaine, a prostitute. He traveled considerably, and ultimately
found fulfillment in talking with and assisting Vishnu Dass,
a wise man in India. Christians returned to Christianboro, which
he led after his father's death.
Christians later agreed to exchange bodies with the Gargoyle's
original spirit, and thereby regained his human form. Leading
other surviving gargoyles, the Gargoyle, back in his demonic
body, set out to dominate human beings. Christians encountered
Derwydden, and they opposed the Gargoyles together. Derwydden
tirned all the other gargoyles to stone. The Gargoyle fired
bio-mystical energy at Christians, hoping to rid himself of
him, but instead it reversed their exchange of bodies. Now back
in the Gargoyle's form, Christians killed his human body to
prevent the Gargoyle's spirit from doing more evil. The Gargoyle's
spirit was trapped within stone, Derwydden departed, and Christians
returned to the Defenders.
In her final clash with the Defenders, using power granted
her by the Beyonder, Moondragon withdrew Christians' spirit
from the Gargoyle's body and transformed it into a gigantic,
even more grotesque from that was filled with the power of the
malevolent being called the Dragon of the Moon. When four of
the Defenders defeated Moondragon and the Dragon of the moon,
the Gargoyle's body was apparently carbonized, becoming a statue
of dust and ashes.
Christians found refuge for his spirit in a crystal and through
it exerted a mental influence over a man in order to find Pamela
Douglas, the cousin of Moondragon whom Moondragon was using
as a vessel for her own spirit. The man wearing the crystal
plagued Heather's life until Moondragon persuaded, repentantly,
Pamela to have her carry the crystal back to the moon colony
of Titan, where Moondragon was preparing to have a new body
grown from cloned samples of her tissue. During the course of
their journey to Titan, Pamela was revealed to have immense
psychic powers of her own. After Moondragon received her new
body, the three journeyed back to Earth along with the Titan
Dameityr, who was growing fond of Pamela. After a fight with
Moondragon, Pamela's full extent of her powers was revealed
by the sentient galaxy and former Defender Cloud. Cloud also
created a new body for Christians out of some of her matter,
giving him the ability to change forms from his human to his
Gargoyle one. Gargoyle, Pamela (now Sundragon) and Demeityr
continued to travel through space. Eventually, Christians returned
home and parted ways with Sundragon amicably.
Height: (as Christians) 5 ft. 9 in., (as Gargoyle) 5
ft. 10 in.
Weight: (as
Christians) 150 lbs., (as Gargoyle) 204 lbs.
Eyes: (as Christians)
Blue, (as Gargoyle) Red
Hair: (as Christians) White, (as Gargoyle)
Skin: (as Gargoyle) Orange
Unusual Features: The Gargoyle
had orange skin resembling the texture of a toad's, an inhuman-looking face, four
taloned fingers on each hand, three-taloned toes on each foot, and small functional
bat-like wings protruding from his back.
Strength Level: The Gargoyle possessed superhuman strength,
and could lift (press) approximately 2 tons. In his human form
Isaac Christians possessed the normal human strength of a man
of his age, height, and build who engaged in little regular
Known Superhuman Powers: The Gargoyle had a number of
superhuman powers derived from the demonic body he possessed.
His leathery skin was more durable than human flesh, and was
able to withstand ballistic impact up to and including .30 caliber
armor-piercing shells. His body was impervious to disease and
aging. His speed and reaction time were equivalent to those
of an average human male in his twenties, as was the acuity
of his senses.
The Gargoyle's original spirit had considerable knowledge of
magic. Christians himself was a student of the occult. But apart
from being able to summon minor demons has little magical ability.
The Gargoyle's rudimentary, featherless, scalloped wings, which
span 5.8 feet from tip to tip at full extension, were insufficient
in and of themselves to bear him aloft. The real mechanism of
flight was a mystical power of levitation. His wings simply
helped him maneuver. The Gargoyle was able to support his own
weight plus 100 pounds of cargo; he could fly at speeds up to
25 miles per hour. He was able to fly about 3 hours before he
tired appreciably and had to alight.
The Gargoyle also possessed the ability to manipulate bio-mystical
energy, the inherent power of the life-force itself. This ability
was created when Christians' human spirit first entered the
Gargoyle's demonic body; the Gargoyle did not possess it previously.
The Gargoyle could siphon life-force from other people, causing
varying degrees of stock and physical weakness depending upon
the amount his siphoned. Although an organism's life-force is
self-renewing, if he were to take too much of it from someone,
the victim would die. (Christians was extremely careful to prevent
this from happening.) Christians did not absorb this life-force
for personal use when he siphoned it; instead, he let it dissipate
into the biosphere as if he were letting air escape from a balloon.
The Gargoyle could also project his own rapidly regenerating
life-force for a number of effects. By projecting his bio-mystical
energy rapidly at an object or person, he could create a concussive
force of varying impact depending upon the amount he projected.
The maximum amount he could expend without endangering himself
had sufficient concussive force to demolish a small house or
displace an average-sized person about 100 feet. By projecting
his bio-mystical energy field around himself (or others) he
could protect himself from certain elementary magical spells
and powers bolts. This field had a maximum range of about 5
feet from the center of his body, and he could sustain it for
about 3 minutes before jeopardizing his own store of life-force.
The Gargoyle could also project fear into other people through
his bio-mystical energy.
Each of the Gargoyle's expenditures of bio-mystical energy
utilized his own life-force to varying degrees. The Gargoyle
had to use his power wisely, for too great or too rapid a depletion
of his energies could have endangered his own life even to the
point of killing him. He was capable of using his bio-mystical
powers at a moderate rate of expenditure for up to a half hour
before he began to impair his own life functions.
The Gargoyle generally used his hands to help him direct his
bio-mystical energies. Frequently this energy manipulated was
accompanied by a visible "black light," which was
not, however, ultraviolet light.
The Gargoyle could regenerate at least some sections of his
body if they were damaged of severed. He once grew his right
hand back after it was severed. The regenerated hand looked
distinctly different from his former right hand, until it revealed
to the same appearance as the previous hand due to a psionic
attack by Moondragon.
The Gargoyle could be commanded by wizards who spoke a certain
obscure spell. An Afghan Gnostic once thus took control of the
Gargoyle, imprisoning him by means of mystical pentagrams. The
wizard could somehow give himself various mystical powers by
drawing upon the Gargoyle's power, and enable the Gargoyle to
exhibit powers (such as growing to gigantic size) that he either
possibly could not or did not know how to use himself.

.LINEAR PROGRAMMING is a complicated tool. So is a car.
Suppose you have never seen a car before and arrive at
a driving school for your first lesson on how to operate
a car. The instructor takes you into a classroom: "This,
Sir, is a piston. The piston is connected to this next part
called a connecting rod. The connecting rod fastens to
to an eccentric called a crankshaft. The crankshaft. . ."
After the first lesson, you might decide that you never
really wanted to learn to drive a car. If it's that complicated
. . .
Fortunately, most of us weren't forced to start with
the piston to learn to drive. It wasn't truly necessary. We
started with the steering wheel, the clutch and gearshift
and, especially, the gas pedal.
The same analogy applies to linear programming. If
we start with the mathematical innards, the "cee-jay" and
the "ex-eye-jay," it may take a long time to learn to use
the tool — when the training really isn't necessary. In
the following paragraphs, we will attempt to develop a
working understanding of linear programming. But we
will take the short way and stay away from the mathematics.

text: NYBob Tuesday, 01/15/13 09:46:34 PM Re: Montanore post# 397 Post # of 456 RON PAUL LIVES: WILL FED BE DEAD? Lawmaker: 'Our dollars are becoming worth less and less' Published: 1 hour ago Read more at http://www.wnd.com/2013/01/ron-paul-lives-will-fed-be-dead/#fqdooAxPwPviivv5.99 Ron Paul may have retired from Congress, but his dream for the Federal Reserve to be audited and ultimately abolished is alive and well. Rep. Paul Broun, R-Ga., was a staunch ally of Rep. Paul's legislation to audit the Fed and is now the lead sponsor of a bill identical to the one that easily passed the House in the 112th Congress. "I'm an original intent constitutionalist, as was Ron Paul while he was here," Broun told WND. "We should audit the Fed. Hopefully we get rid of the Fed, and I introduced a bill to do that also." Broun said it's incredible that the public knows virtually nothing about an institution with so much power over our economy. "Congress has basically abdicated its duty to control money and the monetary supply and control of our money supply as a nation over to this semi-governmental agency that's not really governmental," he said. "In reality, we have had no auditing. We have absolutely no idea what they're doing over there. "We've had this quantitative easing now into the third time, which has been totally unproductive in trying to get our economy going. The Fed housing policy was part of the reason we had the housing bubble and crash. They're still managing our monetary supply. They're creating more and more dollars that have no or very little value behind them. Our dollars are becoming worth less and less. As time goes on, they're going to be worthless." He added, "It's absolutely critical that we audit the Fed so the American people can see what's going on over there. Do it from top to bottom so that we can have transparency in this entity called the Federal Reserve. Hopefully, the American people will see that we need to go back to the gold standard, which I've introduced, and get rid of the Fed." The congressman said it's ridiculous that the only clues we get on Fed actions are in the periodic comments from Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke. "We see what he says, but we really have no clue how they're managing our money across the board, how they are dealing with big banks or small community banks. We have no idea what they're doing in creating monetary policy," said Broun, who noted that lawmakers don't even know how much Bernanke and other Fed officials earn in salary or receive in the way of benefits. The GOP-led House easily approved the bill to audit the Fed in the previous Congress, but Broun lamented that it died on the other side of Capitol Hill. "The problem is Mr. Obstructionist, Harry Reid, threw it in the trash can over on the Senate side," he said. "So hopefully we can get the Senate moving on it by getting the American people demanding that we audit the Fed." Broun reiterated that his ultimate goal is to abolish the Federal Reserve and return control over monetary policy to Congress. He admits people don't have much confidence in Congress either, but Broun contends putting Congress in that role at least offers the chance of that power and money ultimately returning to the the states. "I'm a Marine and I'm fighting for liberty," he said, "and everything I do up here is fighting for the future of our nation."

For those of you who attended the MiiR / ODW event this past summer, and had the time of your life, you can now relive every moment through pictures, and watch the documentary Beyond the Bottle which we screened that night. It's all right here in this post. If you weren't able to attend, you can still look too… just don't expect to find yourself in the pictures. If you didn't attend and are really mad at yourself for missing it, ROAD TRIP! We are doing it again this coming Saturday, November 12, in good ol' Boise, Idaho. Here are the event details and location.
I will be showing my Liberia prints again, as well as doing a silent auction. The goal is to raise money and awareness for the ODW Horn of Africa Relief Fund. There will be food, drinks, beats by DJ Domestic, and a screening of the documentary Beyond The Bottle, which I recommend watching if you want to find out more about the clean water crisis. Hope to see you there.
The following event photos are by my good friends Gabe and Ashley Rodriguez, who are living legends and one of Seattle's top power couples. A very big thank you goes out to them for documenting this incredible night. Check out Ashley's recipe and photography blog Not Without Salt, and Gabe's photography site GabrielBoone.

Hey guys! Welcome back to my step-by-step tutorial. Today I am going to show you "how to draw a Indian warrior, step by step". I know it might seem a little bit complicated, but I assure you, if you follow the steps slowly, it's actually not so bad. I am excited to talk about Native Americans in this tutorial and I wanted to talk a little about how Native Americans are related to Asians like me. Before I had learned anything about the Native Americans, I've always thought they looked kind of "Asian." Apparently, we are related to each other. They belong to a race of people originally from Mongolia, who crossed the Bering Strait into North America several thousand years ago. It's amazing how the human race is so interrelated when you trace back to where we all started. Now who can say that they have the pure blood of a certain race?

#1 What Really Happened In The Bailout Cabinet Meeting Room...

"I for one find it interesting that the two chief protagonists of this economic catastrophe Barney Franks in the house and Dodd in the senate are the two squealing about the failed bailout shove to quick action after they caused the problem.These Democrats are such hypocrites and know no shame !"
Though Sen. Chris Dodd implied that Sen. McCain sandbagged the rest of the negotiators by bringing up alternative proposals, McCain himself did not bring up those proposals, according to four independent sources briefed by four different principals inside the meeting, including two Republicans and two Democrats.
"McCain has not attacked the Paulson deal," said a third Republican who was briefed by McCain direclty. "Unlike the [Democrats] in the [White House] meeting, he didn't raise his voice or cause a ruckus. He is urging all sides to come together."
Republicans like John Boehner brought up the concerns of House GOPers and McCain acknowledged hearing about their concerns. And McCain, and staffers, did seek to gauge the level of support of the GOP working group's white paper. The Democrats were left with the impression that McCain endorsed the GOP efforts, but they concede that he did not raise them directly.
The fact is that Boehner doesn't have 100 votes from his conference -- 100 votes that Nancy Pelosi really wants. And that's not McCain's fault.
But Boehner and the White House -- and McCain -- if they want to get something passed -- do have the responsibility to persuade these Republicans to support the bailout .

Frank blames House GOP for breakdown of deal
WASHINGTON - The chairman of the House Financial Services Committee
declared Friday that an agreement on legislation to relieve a spreading financial crisis depends on House Republicans "dropping this revolt" against President Bush.
Rep. Barney Frank said leading Democrats on Capitol Hill were shocked by the level of divisiveness that surfaced at a White House meeting Thursday, not long after key congressional players of both parties declared they'd achieved the broad outlines of an agreement on a bill implementing the administration's proposed $700 billion bailout plan.
Bush planned another public statement on the situation from the White House Friday morning. He had delivered a speech to the nation Wednesday night urging support for the plan, but members of Congress say they've been hearing a lot of opposition from constituents to a public-financed bailout.
Frank said he did not think that Democrats were going to see a substantially different proposal from the plan the administration has been trying to sell to lawmakers and which had been the focal point of closed-door talks for days. He called the rival proposal being pushed by House conservative Republicans "an ambush plan."
Participants in a meeting late Thursday afternoon that Bush had at the White House with congressional leaders and presidential candidates John McCain and Barack Obama said it descended into arguments. The disagreements were so deep-seated that some lawmakers wondered aloud just who — and how many — would show up for the resumption of talks later Friday morning at the Capitol.
"I didn't know I was going to be the referee for an internal GOP ideological civil war," Frank, D-Mass., said on CBS's "The Early Show."
McCain headed to the Capitol Friday after Democrats put responsibility on him and Bush for getting House Republicans back into the negotiations.
Sen. Richard Shelby, an Alabama Republican who appeared on the same show, said many GOP lawmakers dislike the proposal that has been pushed on the administration's behalf principally by Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson.
"Basically, I believe the Paulson proposal is badly structured," Shelby said. "It does nothing basically for the stressed mortgage payer. It does a lot for three or four or five banks . ... "
The political infighting happened even as Washington Mutual Inc., one of the country's largest banks, collapsed under the weight of its bad bets on the mortgage market. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. seized WaMu on Thursday, and then sold the thrift's banking assets to JPMorgan Chase & Co. for $1.9 billion.
