Revision as of 22:17, 28 October 2011
WESSWEB has two goals: to provide western Europe specialists with information for their work to provide WESS members with information about the Section. WESSWEB does not intend to replicate the excellent guides prepared in Europe, but to supplement them and make links among them from an international perspective.
What is WESS?
The Western European Studies Section (WESS) is a section within the Association of College and Research Libraries, which is itself a division of the American Library Association. WESS is professionally involved in the acquisition, organization, and use of information sources originating in or related to Western European countries. Our aim is to promote the improvement of library services supporting study and research in Western European affairs from ancient times to the present.
WessWeb depends on volunteers...
WessWeb needs people to develop new projects, to coordinate areas, to manage pages, to locate interesting new URLs or new addresses for existing URLs. If you're interested in participating at any level, you can ask for a password for wiki editing (wess @ byu.edu).
Policy for WESSWEB is set by the WESS Publications Committee. Individual sections are edited by:
- Founding coordinator: James Campbell
- General coordinator through 2007: Reinhart Sonnenburg
- General coordinator and wiki administrator, 2008- : Richard Hacken
- British Studies: Gordon Anderson
- Classics Studies: Blake Landor

As an illustrator I was looking for design for my website that would suit my art and this one is perfect. It works smoothly, has minimal needed information and from what I have heard from people visiting my site, it lets them focus on my works in a neat, clean environment as if they were reading real book. Thanks so much! Now for the support – it is excellent. Quick response, great help with code and changes I needed to make, this is exactly what I would expect from designer. He helped me with everything I needed and was polite, patient and really nice. Being freelancer myself, I can immediately say this is professional designer, focused on delivering what people want. I highly recommend him as well as this wonderful, truly magic design.

It has taken millions of years for tigers to evolve into the beautiful, awe-inspiring predator we have today. Once roaming over nearly one-fifth of the Earth, the tiger has been pushed into small isolated islands of habitat, often surrounded by a sea of humanity. It is presently a very real possibility that the tiger will become extinct in our lifetime. Tiger conservation is therefore now more critical than ever.
In the last sixty years we have lost three sub-species of tiger; the Balinese, Caspian and Javanese tigers are gone forever. It is estimated that just 100 years ago there were over 100,000 tigers in the vast forests of Asia. Humans are the only race capable of wiping out an entire species, making humans solely responsible for the tiger's demise.
With less than 5000 tigers remaining in the wild today (and less than 400 Sumatran tigers), immediate action is the only way to save this magnificent species from extinction. The future survival of the tiger is in the hands of mankind.
The threat
As with many of Sumatra's national parks, encroachment by farmers and massive palm and rubber plantation companies, combined with poaching and illegal logging are taking a heavy toll on the forests and its wildlife, including the tiger.
Australia Zoo Wildlife Warriors is working in partnership with Fauna & Flora International (FFI) with its tiger conservation program. FFI has been working in Kerinci Seblat National Park (KSNP), one of the largest national parks in south-east Asia covering over 1.4 million hectares and one of the last remaining habitats for the Sumatran tiger.
FFI has had great success with its Tiger Conservation and Protection Units (TCPU). The TCPUs is the most successful tiger law enforcement program in south-east Asia - they consist of mobile teams of trained personnel that gather information about illegal activities such as poaching, logging and illegal settlements in and around the national park. Their main aim is to deter these activities, and also to remove snares that are set by poachers to catch wildlife.
These patrols work in extremely harsh conditions - each member of the patrol carries approximately 35kg of equipment and supplies, and covers between 15 and 18km every day on foot through terrain that is incredibly tough.
The rangers are also often put at great personal risk, apprehending some of the dangerous people who poach wildlife. Sometimes they even have to go undercover to expose illegal wildlife dealers and the middlemen they work with.
How we help
Australia Zoo Wildlife Warriors has also provided the TCPU with vehicles and an assortment of other necessary equipment, including global positioning systems (GPS), digital cameras, veterinary drugs, uniforms and spotlights.
Australia Zoo Wildlife Warriors is also involved in generating and updating tiger information, surveying of key species, training of key field personnel, and tools for the TCPUs including packs, boots and other equipment.
The benefits of setting up the TCPUs within Sumatra has resulted in thousands of square metres of forests being patrolled and protected; protects local communities and their livelihoods; increases community education; and ensures benefits not only to tigers, but to other species who call KSNP home.

For the electronics, for now I've gutted an fx saber and replaced the 4.5clv aa cells with an 18650 and changed the original blue LED for a 3w CREELED in green. I will post pictures with updates but so far all ive got made
Got some help from a friend and got it off of there. Thanks for the help, I'll post up the finished build in the gallery soon!

Dual Matched Short-Hilted Shoto Sabers, one with a Jedi Blue blade, one with a deep Sith Red blade, The Jedi one would be heavily battle-damaged and
i have so far made 2 lightsabers. my personal one, a dark matter red blade with a black and red hilt. and a curved blade katana saber, yellow blade, with a black hilt and white paracord wrap. both have been amazing to do, especially the katana. i loved pushing the limits of the polycarbonate, PVC, and my skills in making lightsabers. this is only the beginning and im hoping to make even cooler sabers in the future.

It's no secret that Sarah Dessen is one of my all time favourite authors. When I heard about this read/reread challenge (from Emma at Hopeful Happiness - thanks lovely!) I knew I had to look into it. I Eat Words is doing a very simple challenge - we read (or reread) a Dessen book every month, starting in February. This year Dessen is publishing her eleventh novel, The Moon and More, and this is a great way to honour that awesomeness. Not only that, but all of her novels have new covers so it's an excuse for some to buy all the new covers! (No, that won't be me. Have to save my pennies and a lot of my older ones are actually signed by her! Squee!) I've been reading her books for the past eleven or twelve years but I've only read each novel once. So, here I am, signing up for this challenge so I can reread some of my favourite books.
Here's the order we're following:
Here's the order we're following:

MMRS Dual Bulb CCFL Light for 100mm Tube - Red
- Monsoon Modular Reservoir System Component (MMRS)
Stock Code: WC-400-MO
Manufacturer: Monsoon
+44 (0)1782 44 44 55
MMRS Dual Bulb CCFL Light for 100mm Tube - RedMonsoon Modular Reservoir System--
Monsoon's new Modular Reservoir System allows you to configure exactly the reservoir you need for your build-no more forcing your build to fit around an off the shelf, one-size-fits-all reservoir. All of the components are sold separately allowing you to mix and match different end caps, couplers, tension rods, tube lengths, mounting options, fill and drain ports, pump options, and lighting.
Because the system is FULLY modular and every component is sold separately, you only buy the components you need for the reservoir you actually want for your dream rig. This saves you money now and down the road when you're upgrading your cooling loop or reusing the reservoir in a new build-just add the few components you need for the new build without buying an entirely new reservoir.
Assembly is straight forward and all the components are made of top quality materials with excellent fit and finish. Check out the how-to video links below for an overview of MMRS and videos on using the different components. Unleash your creativity and set your imagination free with MMRS.
This DUAL bulb CCFL light is designed to work with Monsoon's Modular Reservoir System 25mm and 50mm mounts. Part numbers MMRS-MT-25MM-XX and MMRS-MT-50MM-XX respectively where the XX is a place holder for the mount color. MMRS-MT-25MM-RD is a 25mm tall red mount as an example.
They feature 6 mm diameter colored acrylic lenses over bright white bulbs so you get light that is bright and very color correct-red light that is actually a deep red rather than pink for example. Lights are matched to reservoir tube segment lengths-for example if your reservoir configuration has 100mm and 150mm segments, you will need 100mm and 150mm lights.
The power cable is sleeved in premium triple strand triple weave sleeving, has a black plug, and is approximately 20" or 500mm.
Be sure to watch our how-to assembly videos below for more information on how and where to use this part in your tube reservoir build.

Penn State Shenango held its 2014 spring commencement ceremony Friday, May 9, in the Shenango campus auditorium with a reception following. Jo Anne Carrick, campus director, conferred baccalaureate and associate degrees on 68 graduating students.
The ceremony opened with the academic processional played by pianist Janet Staul, followed by the national anthem sung by the Shenango Valley Chorale. Phillip Nash, associate professor of history and faculty marshal, will welcome graduates, family members and guests to the 2014 commencement ceremony.
This year, Penn State Shenango selected Charles Bursey as its commencement speaker. Bursey is a full professor of biology at the Shenango campus and a soon-to-be professor emeritus — he will retire on June 30. He has taught biology for 44 years at Penn State, including courses in anatomy, physiology, biological science and coastal science.
Shortly after earning his doctorate in zoology from Michigan State University in 1969, Bursey joined the faculty of Penn State Shenango in 1970, only three years after ground was broken for the campus in its present location. Bursey has earned a reputation for rigor and excellence in teaching by both his peers and his students.
Early in his career, he taught marine biology to students over the summer in Wallops, Va., as part of a National Science Foundation marine biology program. In addition to his teaching, Bursey is a noted scientist and scholar in the field of parasitology. Over the past two years alone, he has published more than 50 articles on parasitic worms in premier academic journals. He has also actively served on numerous committees at the campus, college, community and University levels.
In the 1980s and 1990s, Bursey had also been asked three times to step into administrative roles. He was appointed acting campus executive officer from 1988-89 and acting campus director from 1981-1982 at the Shenango campus, and, from 1984-85, the interim campus executive officer at the McKeesport (now Greater Allegheny) campus. In the past 44 years, Bursey not only has had a distinguished career at Penn State, but he has made a significant impact on his students and colleagues.
This year's graduating student address was given by Rebecca J. Maurice, of Sharpsville, Pa. Maurice, who is an adult student, graduated with a baccalaureate degree in human development and family studies. She recently completed her internship with the Community Food Warehouse of Mercer County where she helped to organize their annual Empty Bowls Project.
The commencement ceremony will conclude with the induction of the 2014 Penn State graduates into the Penn State Shenango Alumni Society by Society President Christine Scherer.
For more information about this year's graduation ceremony, contact the Registrar's Office at 724-983-2856.

Usually, Wall Street can't wait for the midterm elections to be over.
The third year of a first-term presidency brings an impressive stock market rally.
"We haven't had a loss in a third year since 1939 and that's when Nazi Germany invaded Poland," says Jeffrey Hirsch, editor of the Stock Trader's Almanac.
In the five cases involving a Democratic presidency, the market has gained an average of 21.3 percent; in five of six cases involving first-term Republican presidents, the average advance is 10.0 percent.
This year, however, might be different. Either Wall Street is putting the rally ahead of the results or the pattern has yet to unfold.
Stocks are enjoying their best September since FDR was president and are back near the May highs, when the 2009-2010 rally seemed unstoppable.
History Lesson
Data show midterm election years are classic before-and-after case studies for the stock market.
"The before is almost always negative and the after is almost always positive," says Sam Stovall, chief investment strategist at Standard & Poor's.
The S&P 500has typically declined during the months leading up to the mid-term elections for first-term presidents between 1930 and 2006. The Dow Industrialsand Nasdaq Composite have behaved similarly.
"The incumbents try to push through as much as they can the first two years, and its the less palatable issues. Obama is a great example," says Hirsch, ticking off health care reform, financial regulation and fiscal stimulus. "In the second half they try to get re-elected so they start priming the pump."
"You can say everything is different but how the market plays it out is relatively similar."
In the five cases involving a Democratic-controlled Congress, the market has fallen an average of 5.9 percent between July 31 and Oct 31. In the six cases of Republican control, the up/down record is split, but the overall performance is still negative (1.6 percent).
Given that three-month historical track record, October will certainly be a make-or-break month. September's gain has essentially offset August's loss. That's well above the average gain of 1.7 percent in midterm election years.
After a three-week rally, the Dow is now 80 points higher than its Aug. 9 level, which was followed by a 700-point swoon.
Despite its reputation for market crashes, on avearge October is a pretty flat month for the Dow and a modestly higher one for the Nasdaq andS&P 500.
In midterm years, the market has risen 67 percent of the time, with an average gain of 2.6 percent.
Stock Markers
Over the last 75 years, there have been seven changes in leadership in either the House or Senate during midterms. The most recent was 2002, when the GOP took control of the Senate.
Three times control of both houses shifted; in 1946 and 1994, Democrats lost both the House and Senate. The same fate befell the GOP in 1954.
The health of the economy is not as much a factor as people think.
This year most are predicting a change in House leadership, with the GOP picking up at least the 40 seats necessary to tip the scale. The Senate outcome looks closer; the most likely outcome is the Democrats owning a slim majority.
"You have a less accepting legislative body and they have to put through things that are a little more bipartisan," says Hirsch.
Given the enormity of the financial crisis and the recession, as well as the government response to both events, some analysts are questioning whether the model will play out this time around, especially after the massive give-aways of the stmulus plan.
Stovall is not one of them, adding that the market has already performed on cue in the first 18 months of the Obama presidency.
And there's still plenty of time and potential factors to cause a pre-market slump, says Stovall, citing another debt shock from Europe, more disappointmnet about the econony and third-quarter earnings annoucements.
"How many nuclear-war scares have we had, how many Arab oil embargoes have we had?" says Stovall. "You can say everything is different but how the market plays it out is relatively similar."

NRICH uses a fixed width page layout which fits within a 1000 pixel wide screen at 100% zoom. So, if you can, adjust the resolution of your display so its width is 1000 pixels or more. However, you may have an old small screen, or you may need to use NRICH with a data projector limited to an 800 pixel wide screen. It's very easy. Simply use the scroll bars, and you'll find that we've adjusted the line length of all problem and article texts so they fit onto an 800 pixel wide screen at 100% zoom.
In the Firefox, Safari, and Opera browsers, you can adjust the browser zoom controls to reduce the page to fit. However, all versions of Internet Explorer that we've tested have buggy zoom controls and are best left set at 100%. The IE bugs cause misplaced inline mathematics.
In most modern browsers you should get the best results by choosing File > Print from your browser menu.
* Important *
If you do use IE, make sure it is configured to decompress gzip encoded javascript correctly. In the Internet Options dialog, in Advanced, there are two relevant HTTP 1.1 settings. The first is "Use HTTP 1.1" which should be checked. The other is "Use HTTP 1.1 through proxy connections" which should also be checked. Unfortunately, the default here is false which will hit many schools that use IE through a proxy server.
Tablets and mobiles do not support Flash. There are a number of Apps that aim to provide Flash player or Flash browser facilities. NRICH can be found in the Puffin Academy library for instance. However, not all animations will run successfully in this way, so we advise testing in situ in advance.
There are lots of ways to find material on NRICH. You may be looking for material linked from the curriculum mapping documents in which case you should start there. You may want to find something that you know was published a few months back - in which case try Past Issues . For most other purposes - whether you want to search through text, titles, or topics - it's best to start by typing some words into the Search NRICH box.
It helps a little to know how this works...
There are two phases to the search. The second phase only happens if the first phase fails to find anything. Both phases search in resource text, resource titles, and resource topics (sometimes known as tags)
If you type in geometry algebra you will find documents containing both words. Typing more words will find documents containing some or all of the words you type, ranked according to how many are found, how close they are together, and whether they are team favourites.
This phase of the search will ignore many common words that occur so often they are unhelpful in finding material. It also ignores words of less than 4 letters, and any string of characters that does not make an English word. For example, in phase 1, mul and mult will be ignored, but multi , multiple , and multiply will all be used.
Phrase searches are not supported, so don't use quotation marks.
It's worth taking the trouble to cast your search in a form that will be picked up by phase 1, because the search can then rank your results by how good a match they are. If your search terms appear close together in the resource, it is likely to appear near the top of the search results.
The NRICH team has some favourite resources which we know you will appreciate. These too will appear high in phase 1 results.
If phase 1 fails to find anything at all, a phase 2 search will happen. In this phase, the search will attempt to match the complete string of characters that you typed in the Search NRICH box. In our example, mul and mult will be ignored by the phase 1 search, but will turn up many matches in the phase 2 search.
In phase 2, everything you type is used - spaces and punctuation included.

If it weren't for my job, I wouldn't convert much of the crafty inspiration rattling around my head into anything tangible.
Exhibit A: my crafty workshop.
I have an entire Pinterest board devoted to workshop ideas, which kept me inspired to plug away at making a part of our unfinished basement into something more than a dumping ground. It never occurred to me that it would ever be ready for its close-up, least of all in print.
But Megan convinced me that my workshop was indeed ready for some professional lighting and photography, and somehow I ended up in an incredible special issue with these amazingly creative people:
I'm still just shaking my head in disbelief.
The best part of the process was having a neat and tidy creative space for the day of photography because my workshop is NEVER clean. Ever. Behold the reality:
And now I have proof in print that it's been magazine ready...if only for one short day. Plus my sliding barn door got its moment in the spotlight, too.
If you want to see all the stunning creative spaces that are far more than a whitewashed unfinished basement, you'll want this issue. It's on sale now in many bookstores and craft stores. You can also get it online HERE.
I've also got a copy right here that's looking for a new home, so leave a comment by Monday, January 14 at 5pm MST and I'll pick a random winner.
Don't miss the other chances to win copies over on the Creating Keepsakes blog, either. Seems like everyone is giving one away!

Just visited the batch number site and joined. I stopped when I was asked to do a Profile. Question:e What are you suppose to include in the Profile?

You only have to create a profile (username and password and an email address so we can work together) if you want to add batch numbers. If you just want to use the batch numbers that have been added by others, then you do not have to create a profile.

ICAO sets Standards and Recommended Practices (SARPs) for international civil aviation in accordance with the consensus views of its 193 Contracting States in order to achieve an acceptable level of flight safety. The SARPs concerning medical provisions on medical fitness requirements of licence holders are contained in Annex 1 to the
Convention on International Civil Aviation. Signatory States to the Convention are required to adjust their national rules and regulations to comply with ICAO Standards unless they file a "difference" with ICAO. If a State chooses not to apply ICAO Standards and instead imposes a lower national standard, another State may, if it wishes, prevent an aircraft operating to such reduced requirements from entering its own airspace. A State, however, may set higher (stricter) national standards than those of ICAO without any penalty.
The principal responsibilities of the Aviation Medicine Section are:
• Ensuring the medical provisions in Annex 1 remain up-to-date;
• Providing guidance to medical examiners and medical assessors concerning the interpretation and implementation of medical provisions. Written guidance is available free of charge in the
Manual of Civil Aviation Medicine (Doc 8984);
• Editorial responsibility for the
Manual on Prevention of Problematic Use of Substances in the Aviation Workplace (Doc 9654) and the
Manual on Laser Emitters and Flight Safety (Doc 9815), which are available for purchase from the
ICAO Online Store;
• Development of appropriate SARPs and guidance material to facilitate and harmonize preparedness planning for public health events that impact aviation such as serious communicable diseases, radionuclear and chemical accidents;
• Management of the programme "Collaborative Arrangement for the Prevention and Management of public health events in Civil Aviation"
• Provision of guidance to licensing authorities in Contracting States on medical provisions;
• Conducting and participating in regional seminars on aviation medicine and preparedness planning, conducting ICAO educational sessions at international aviation medicine scientific meetings, and presenting papers at such meetings.

The governor's office released the full list of 725 projects that will be funded with money from the second year of Regional Economic Development Council awards.
The state is funding 76 projects in the Finger Lakes region, including $5 million for the University of Rochester and IBM to purchase high-speed computing equipment. The purchase will help create one of the most powerful, energy-efficient, high-performance computing facilities in the world.
The Rochester Institute of Technology will get $5 million, as well, to purchase equipment for its Golisano Institute of Sustainability.
The state will give $4 million each to two downtown Rochester projects: rehabilitating Midtown Tower into apartments and commercial space and building College Town, a mixed-use development adjacent to the U of R campus.
In the Southern Tier, 62 projects will be funded, including $7 million to fund a high-technology incubator in Binghamton.
BAE Systems with Binghamton University will get $2.1 million to advance BAE's hybrid electric-propulsion system product lines. BAE will invets $2.9 million and create 40 jobs.
The state also awarded $1.8 million to reconstruct Ithaca Commons in downtown Ithaca and replace its underground utilities, as well as $2.5 million to construct a waste water management system in the town of Lansing, Tompkins County.
The Mid-Hudson region received funding for 84 projects.
Two of the biggest awards went to purchase and renovate two 100-plus unit apartment complexes for affordable senior citizen housing in Orange County. One in Newburgh will receive $10 million, and another in Middletown will receive $7 million.
The state also awarded $2.5 million for the development of a specialty hospital for children with autism, severe developmental disabilities and medical complexities in Sullivan County. Kingston, Ulster County, will use $1.2 million to construct a mile-long promenade along the Hudson River, and New Rochelle, Westchester County will use $1.5 million to develop a mixed-use space with housing and shops on the Long Island Sound.
Here's the complete list:

This trick (by Sumit Rai) was published in Linux For You (LFY) under the Tips And Tricks Section. Sharing it with all the Linux Geeks out there 🙂
When you format a partition in Linux , 5% of the total space gets reserved for privileged processes, by default. This is done so that system processes continue to function correctly ,if the filesystem gets full. This is useful for your 'root' partition.However if you have let us say 50GB separate home partition, you may want to make use of few additional GBs by reducing the percentage of the reserved space. You can use tune2fs command to change the default allocation of space reserved for privileged processes. Command for the same is :
#tune2fs -m 1 /dev/sda6
Here we have changed space reserved for privileged processes on /dev/sda6 to 1 percent. You can use your device file according to the target partition instead of '/dev/sda6' . You can see the effected change by mounting the filesytem and checking available space using df command before and after you execute the above command. This command is quite useful in so called 'Emergency', so do remember it 🙂

The movie Monsters vs Aliens has been available on Blu-ray 3D for some time as a bundle with different products for Samsung's 3D HDTVs and not sold separately. And next month we'll probably see the Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs as the first available with and without any bundles from Sony. If you do own a Blu-ray 3D hardware player then you should be quite Ok, but then again if you also have a 3D Vision equipped PC or any other stereo 3D setup on your computer you are still out of luck. We've got a promise that all of the major DVD Video/Blu-ray Video software players for the PC will support Blu-ray 3D and 3D Vision, probably along with other solutions, but we still don't have any of these released with the promised support as of this time. And the four major players with expected Blu-ray 3D support are as follows: Arcsoft TotalMedia Theatre, Corel WinDVD, Cyberlink PowerDVD Ultra and Sonic Roxio CinePlayer BD.
So desperate times call for desperate measures to have a solution that will enable you to view a Blu-ray 3D movie on your 3D Vision equipped PC even right at this moment and it did not take too much time to have that available when more people started to work on it and share information about it. The credits go to a user called alexpk over at the Biohemmet Forum that not only found a solution to the problem (link at the end of the post), but also shared a guide for other users to try it out and maybe even further improve it. The currently available solution is not the easiest to do and has some specific requirements like a lot of free space on the HDDs and quite some time for processing even on fast PC, but it does work and that is the most important. Have in mind that in order to view the guide you'll have to do a free registration over at the linked forum.
As you know the Blu-ray 3D format is a somewhat specific development over the normal Blu-ray video discs and this is to be expected in order for the backwards compatibility to be retained, so that when you play Blu-ray 3D disc on a normal Blu-ray video player you will still be able to watch the normal 2D version fo the movie without any issues. Thus the Blu-ray 3D format uses one stream with the full frame for the left eye (the so called 2D version of the movie) and additional information for the right frame that is needed to build the stereoscopic 3D view with the help of a capable Blu-ray 3D software or a hardware player that will understand the new format. and in order not to double the video information needed for both left and right frames on the Blu-ray disc (it is still limited in space available) the video data for the right eye frame is not complete as for the left frame, but just the delta (difference) between the left and right frames. Thus the additional space needed for the full Blu-ray 3D content is not doubled as it would've been with the full visual data for the left and right frames, but is instead increased with just about 30-40% that is needed for the difference information. Then when the video is being played back the delta information is used to reconstruct the full frame from the left eye view and the viewer sees the end result in great stereo 3D.
But without having a dedicated Blu-ray 3D software video players yet we have no way of playing back the videos from such discs with the help of what video players are currently available. So instead we need to rip the Blu-ray 3D movie and then reconstruct the right frame from the delta (frame difference) information and then recompress the left/right views again into a video format that the 3D Vision Video Player or the Stereoscopic Player for example will understand and playback on a 3D Vision equipped computer. So this is basically what the guide provided by the user called alexpk is all about, although as I said you need to use some specific software programs in the process and they do require you to have a bit of knowledge about working in a console mode and video compression to achieve a good result. Then again you also need to have a lot of free space, and I mean really a lot, as the reconstructed video information is being saved as raw video data and that practically takes a few gigabytes of space per minute. Then you should also be ready for quite some time in waiting for your PC to recompress the raw video data so it will again take much less space and will be easier to store and archive. And not to mention that this will also require you to have some patience and time to experiment a bit and try different things until you find the best solution that works for you. But then again the most important thing is that we now have a solution, although not the easiest to do, to actually enjoy Blu-ray 3D movies on our PCs that are stereo 3D-ready too until we see some of the promised commercial solutions that will allow us to play the Blu-ray 3D video without all the additional hassle.

Get DVD Talk Feeds
Boobish Mississippi police officer Larry Stalder (Larry The Cable Guy) hopes one day to join the ranks of the F.B.I. and leave his small town behind. When Madeline (Ivana Milicevic) sneaks into town with a group of her witness protection agents (led by Yaphet Kotto), Larry mistakes the bodyguard as villains and steals her away to safety. Made aware of his mistake, Larry is forced to follow through with the original plan and bring the star witness to Chicago for an important trial. Now on the run, Larry and Madeline fight criminal masterminds (Peter Stormare), rogue agents (Eric Roberts), and Larry's lack of personal hygiene to stay alive.
I'm all for silly comedies, but these Larry The Cable Guy movies aren't just harmless giggles anymore. These are seriously diseased, bottom-feeding motion pictures constructed to reduce intelligence and further this bizarre obsession certain communities of Americans have to proudly display their unwashed idiocy, as though it was a golden badge of honor. Call it the "Blue Collaring" of the country. It's not just enjoying redneck jokes anymore; it's a disturbing transformation that cannot be reversed.
"Witless Protection" is the worst Cable Guy movie to date, and that's saying something after "Health Inspector" and "Delta Farce." Larry is Ernest P. Worrel for the illiterate; he's a comic with a just one surface to his act and he beats on it like a drum, making the same jokes and same facial gestures for 90 unholy minutes. Pretty much every scene in "Protection" involves Larry farting, vomiting, eating rancid meat, making people smell his feet, parading around his bulbous belly, and cracking some bizarre non sequitur joke that fails to make even a lick of sense ("purple is the upside of beef, gawl-dangit!"). His co-stars have it a little better: either they're questionable eye candy (sex kitten Jenny McCarthy plays Larry's girlfriend, yet is clad in a Halloween fright wig), or lighting their farts on fire. At least they don't have putrid feet, right? Such progress.
Writer/director Charles Robert Carner presides over this debacle like a demented child, encouraging the numerous fecal jokes, atrocious Casio-thin score by Eric Allaman, unprofessional cinematography (it is too much to ask for focus or the absence of boom microphones in the frame?), and pens a screenplay that includes a handful of "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" references and pokes fun at classical music. I can't believe this film actually made it all the way to production. For the record, Carner is 51 years old.
My friends, this movie is far worse than it looks. Here's further evidence of the horrors within: there's a "Benny Hill" undercranked sequence, Joe Mantegna cameos, and Larry asks a traditionally dressed Middle-Eastern character why he's "wearing a diaper on his head."
I'm no culture cop, but these Larry The Cable Guy movies represent a new low for American comedy. It's one thing to be sleeveless and make fun of "liberals," but "Witless Protection" lashes out in a million reckless ways; every scene hits a new low. This motion picture isn't fun, it's punishment.

How to create or view incidents in StruxureOn smartphone app
Published date: 25 January 2018
Browse FAQs
You get notified immediately on the StruxureOn app when there is a new incident, or when there is a change to the status of an incident. You can chat with agents from the Schneider Electric Service Bureau on open incidents, follow the progress on incidents pending a solution, and see solved incidents. This is for Premium devices only.
The incident lifecycle includes these states: new, open, pending, or solved. You can initiate some of these states (such as create a new incident, and reopen a solved incident).
A solved incident is closed after 4 days. Within these 4 days, from an incident has been solved until it is closed, you can reopen it from the app.
While an incident is automatically created on critical alarms on Premium devices, you may also want to create an incident yourself on a device. You can do this directly from the app at any time on both Premium and Standard devices, but this may incur additional cost if a Field Service Rep is required on site.
You can use the built-in team chat on an incident to share relevant details instantly and work with agents from the Schneider Electric Service Bureau and your colleagues on duty to prevent or solve any incidents quickly.

Today, the Environmental Protection Agency's administrator, Lisa Jackson, will ask a Senate panel to set a limit for perchlorate in drinking water. Perchlorate is both naturally-occurring and man-made, and is used to produce rocket fuel, pyrotechnics and explosives. Despite the chemical being linked to thyroid problems in young children and pregnant women, perchlorate is not yet regulated by the EPA.
Tap water monitoring in 2001, 2003 and 2005 showed that the water of 26 states contained the rocket fuel chemical. The EPA's decision to regulate perchlorate actually reverses a 2008 decision in which they decided not to regulate the chemical. Now, further research by independent scientists and the National Academy of Sciences has led the agency to campaign for perchlorate regulation. This decision does not mean that perchlorate will be regulated by water utilities or public water systems nationwide; rather, now that perchlorate has been listed as a regulated contaminant in the Safe Drinking Water Act, the agency must issue a National Primary Drinking Water Regulation. Once that is finalized, many public water systems will have to comply with the regulation. It could take as many as two years to see full compliance of perchlorate regulation.
Perchlorate may impair the thyroid's ability to produce hormones that are critical to developing infants and fetuses. According to the EPA's press release on perchlorate, between 5-17 million people may be drinking water contaminated with perchlorate. For more information about the chemical, visit the EPA's perchlorate page.
To ensure your family is safe from the dangers of perchlorate in drinking water, you may consider installing a reverse osmosis system to reduce perchlorate and other contaminants in your water. What a reverse osmosis system removes is dependent on the type of RO membrane used. Filters Fast currently carries four membranes that will reduce perchlorate. Please contact us to see if you can use one of these membranes in your existing RO system: [email protected]; 1-866-438-3458.
Pentek ROM230-T, ROM-230TN RO Membrane
Watts Zero Waste Reverse Osmosis Membrane
TFC-RS12-10/ERO-300 7098169 RO Membrane
Culligan TFM-50-A Reverse Osmosis Membrane
UPDATE: According to the EPA website, they are currently developing a proposed national primary drinking water regulation for perchlorate to be reviewed publicly in 2013.

The background photo on my brother's iPod shows a plate of fried chicken and waffles from Roscoe's up in Los Angeles. Before dining there, he had never enjoyed the two foods together, and he was moved by the experience. I mentioned this to a friend of mine, a woman now living in Texas but hailing from Georgia. I said I supposed the dish had originated in the South, given that region's proliferation of Waffle House restaurants. She protested that the Waffle House served only grilled chicken, and that she had never in all her born days heard of such a thing as chicken and waffles. She all but intimated it was the kind of unnatural aberration that might be expected from denizens of the Left Coast. So I thought I'd take a look around and try some straight fried chicken while I was at it.
Nota bene: Alas, Crispy Fried Chicken has discontinued their waffles, though they still serve plenty of chicken. And I wanted to try Sister Pee-Wee's and Annie Belle's, really I did. But, dadgummit, I visited both during posted hours of operation, and they were both closed up tight. Maybe next year.
Best Chicken and Waffles
6523 University Avenue, Rolando(Has gone out of business since this article was published.)
Stockdale's Fine Southern Cuisine
"You know where chicken and waffles got started?" asked the proprietor, speaking low and slow. "The Lincoln White House. Then it spread to the South." File under: awesome yet dubious claims (though I have seen references to Lincoln's eating johnnycakes and chicken). Origins aside, it's a fine combination — sweet, salt, and oil...what's not to love? And this version is a winner ($7.95). The pebbly, salt 'n' pepper coating isn't there to hog the spotlight; rather, it sets the stage for the moist goodness of a thigh you can pick clean and a huge wing with huge flavor. The thin, bready waffle tastes of the iron the way grilled meat might taste of the grill, seasoned. (Also best: the papery greens and the lighter-than-air sweet-potato fries, though you don't automatically get sides with your waffle.)
Very Nearly Best Chicken and Waffles
Bonnie Jean's Soul Food
1964 54th Street, Oak Park
Bonnie Jean's Soul Food
Really, it's almost a toss-up between these folks and Stockdale's; it might just depend on your mood. The crust shows off more than Stockdale's — it's flakier, like good pie crust, and a bit more oily. The meat tastes gamier and less seasoned, but it may be even juicer. The waffle is eggier, heavier, almost gingerbready in flavor. "This waffle will get you and your family through three days of darkness," prophesied the Wife. (Two-piece chicken and waffle, $9.99. You'll pay extra and might have to wait for a breast. Maybe stick with the dark meat; it's easier to keep moist, and, again, the wings are huge.)
Effective Ensemble
Hash House A Go Go
3628 Fifth Avenue, Hillcrest
Hash House A Go Go
"Twisted farm food" is the motto here, and they've got the agricultural implements on the wall to prove it. "Sage fried chicken stacked on our smoked bacon waffle tower all crowned with hot maple caramel reduction and fried leeks, $19.95, New York Times Favorite!!!" declared the menu. And to hear the Wife tell it between swooning mouthfuls, the Times got it right — on one condition. "It works if you put it all in your mouth at once," she insisted over my objections that the hunks of boneless chicken breast were jerky-dry, the corn-flake crust was chewy and uneven, and the monster waffle was downright rubbery. "Yeah, but there's awesome bacon inside the waffle," she argued. "And the fried leeks!" True, the fried leeks. Also, the maple-caramel reduction lent a fragrant sweetness to the whole.
Best Chicken and Waffles from a Chain
Louisiana Famous Fried Chicken
2850 National Avenue #109, Logan Heights
Louisiana Famous Fried Chicken
Come on, now — it's a chain. So, yes, they've got their fried chicken under a warmer when you walk in, and, yes, that means it may not be at the peak of deliciousness. But when we visited, they didn't have any breasts made up, and they happily fried one for the Wife. The fluffy waffle, too, was made fresh to order. The crust was on the thicker side, and it carried most of the flavor. Finally, the price was right: a waffle with a breast or waffle with two pieces of dark meat will run you $7.
Best Breast
8384 La Mesa Boulevard, La Mesa
They don't even call it fried chicken on the menu: "Milk Butter Chicken, Green Beans, Brown Butter, $17." But, oh, yes, it's fried, after soaking in the aforementioned milk long enough to keep even the white meat drippingly juicy. A half chicken (wing, breast, leg, and thigh) is jacketed in a peppery crust that gathers in the crevices and holds a cracker crunch against the tang of the brown-butter drizzle. The bird sits atop a lumpen bed of smashed potatoes; the beans sit on top of the bird; and the whole thing is crowned with a nest of crispy fried shallots. Solid execution, gussied up just enough to make it a restaurant dish.
Crispy Fried Chicken
4919 El Cajon Boulevard, Talmadge
Crispy Fried Chicken
Batter? Coating? Who needs 'em when you've got chicken that tastes just salty enough right through to the bone and bubbling hot oil? Unadulterated chicken skin makes a fine coating all on its lonesome when you get it this crackly-crisp. If you ever need to bring, say, 15 pieces of fried chicken home to a houseful of starving-yet-discerning souls, and you're at all worried about things getting soggy along the way, let these folks put your mind at rest. It'll run you $14.99 for a mixed selection (though the breasts can be shreddy and on the dry side).
BBQ Chicken
4768 Convoy Street, Kearny Mesa
BBQ Chicken
That's BBQ as in, "Best of the Best Quality," not barbeque. Because, of course, it's deep-fried — in olive oil, which seems to permeate the meat, rendering it fragrant and unctuous (if dry on the breast). Here, however, the meat is the bedrock below the fissured, folded, and layered landscape of uniformly crunchy crust. So crunchy, it shatters when chewed; so crunchy, it endures the twin trials of travel and refrigeration. Yessir, it's crunchy (five pieces, $9.45). And the jumbo-sized double-crunch chicken wings (ten pieces, $9.95) are indeed very nearly doubly crunchy (also spicy). ■

Does anyone have recommendations for North County? It doesn't have to come with waffles, but that's a big plus. I've tried Felix's in Oceanside and it was good, but not spectacular (unlike their hush puppies and fried catfish and fried green tomatoes, which are spectacular).
I'm sorry, but this dish as an excuse for a restaurant review is disgusting. Fried chicken and waffles??? It should be called the Drop Dead Special.
Never been to Roscoe's, huh?
What a difference a few miles make! In Hillcrest they can get away with charging $19.95 for a single fried chicken meal (jerky-dry, no less) without so much as a comment from the reviewer about the price. Down here in Imperial Beach and Chula Vista people would have a fit at paying that much and not getting a whole bucketful of chicken.

The Legacy of Medgar Evers
Myrlie Evers-Williams speaks with AARP about civil rights and the 50th anniversary of her husband's death
Francis H. Mitchell/Ebony Collection via AP Images
Civil rights activist Medgar Evers was assassinated in Mississippi in June 1963. This summer will mark the 50th anniversary of his death, and Evers' wife, Myrlie Evers-Williams, joins AARP Radio host Mike Cuthbert to talk about the changes and racial progress that has happened in the half-century since.
Evers-Williams, an accomplished journalist, activist and former chairwoman of the NAACP, delivered the invocation at President Barack Obama's second inauguration.

Fujitsu says sayonara to Toshiba in bid to take on Apple
Japanese electronics giant still struggling internationally
Japanese computing giant Fujitsu has bought out Toshiba's share of the firms' joint mobile venture, to give it a clear crack at unseating Apple, which only recently jumped into top spot in the land of the rising sun.
In a brief press release, Fujitsu explained that it had acquired Toshiba's 19.9 per cent ownership stake in the rather dour sounding Fujitsu Toshiba Mobile Communications.
The firm will now become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Fujitsu with the equally uninspiring moniker of Fujitsu Mobile Communications Limited.
The two Japanese electronics giants joined forces in October 2010 to take on then market leader Sharp in the mobile space, although it was always Fujitsu – with an 80.1 per cent stake – that was the senior partner in the venture.
It remains to be seen whether Fujitsu can now take the initiative and challenge Apple in its domestic market, as well as take on the fruity iPhone-maker and others internationally.
Apple jumped to the top of Japan's smartphone charts in the final quarter of 2011 thanks to the incredible success of the iPhone 4S – incredible because it managed to do so in a market where consumers historically favour domestic producers.
It now has 27 per cent of the Japanese smartphone market while Fujitsu is in second place with 18 per cent and just ahead of Sharp with around 16 per cent, according to IDC figures.
The jury's still out on Fujitsu's long-term future in the mobile space though. Gartner's latest vendor update for the firm at the end of December 2011 rated it a less-than-reassuring 'caution'.
"Looking forward, all the local mobile device players are struggling to find an opportunity to get into business in foreign countries. We see that it's not easy," Gartner analyst Atsuro Sato told The Reg.
"They have to compete with established premium branded vendors and emerging players who compete now not only on cost but high-end product specs. In such circumstances, one area Japanese vendors could focus on is enterprise or public sector business, rather than aiming at the consumer mass market." ®

Character SetsMay 23, 2003
It's a thrilling experience to see your words translated into a foreign tongue, even more so when the language is completely unrecognizable to you. With the first Zen Garden translation (Greek, thanks to Akis Apostoliadis) just about ready for prime–time, and the second one (French, thanks to Nic Steenhout) under way, I've had to start thinking about foreign characters.
French is a snap, since all non–English entities like â, ç, ö and so forth have well–supported character entity codes, as well as even better–supported numeric equivalents. Most of the Germanic and other European languages are built in to modern operating systems so they're easy to handle.
But Greek… that's where I had no experience. Would I have to save the Garden as double–byte Unicode and double the file size? I've played with Unicode before and, while it displays wonderfully in browsers that support it, my current ASP setup is unable to process it. IIS is incapable of parsing Unicode files, which makes them completely useless for anyone running Windows. I'm finally moving the Garden to its own domain and switching to PHP in the next few days, but I have even less experience with Apache.
Long–term planning aside, I don't have to deal with server–side concerns yet, at least. Greek is supported well enough that even though I couldn't see the Greek characters as I edited, assigning my XHTML the proper character set renders a viewable Greek version of the Garden in even my English browser.
Though I believe I've incorrectly declared my XHTML character set. I used the old standby:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
Which seems to work on the document level, but according to the crib notes I should also insist on an XML declaration:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="EUC-JP"?>
This particular encoding is just the test example, but I've been running around in circles trying to find out what to substitute for 'EUC-JP' and let my XML know that, yeah, I would rather see Greek in there. There's no reference or link in the XHTML spec, so I did my best to pull up information on XML, which makes me break out into a cold sweat. A fruitless search ended up pointing to the Unicode site, where I found a brief Web FAQ.
I'm still not seeing my answer, but maybe I'm not being observant enough. Is there a place where I can find out how to encode an XML document in the Greek language? I will have to keep looking this evening.
The other catch, too, is that if I re–insert that XML declaration, IE6 gets thrown into quirks mode. I suppose this isn't terrible since box model hacks abound in the Garden, thanks to IE5. In a few years when IE5 is no longer an issue though, we might be re–visiting this one.
Reader Comments
I believe you would use:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-7"?>
I agree. EUC-JP is just a strange sounding encoding for Japanese; you can replace it with iso-8859-7 for Greek text.
I'd also use:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="el" >
This "el" comes from the Greek word for Greek, "Ellinika".
There are still some problems with unclosed spans and some acronym tags seems to be placed wrong.
Else it is a nice translation of a great project!
Thanks guys, I'm using your advice. That iso-8859-7 is a real head-slapper, now that you point it out. Funny what a bit of lateral thinking can do for you.
The validation errors were purely my own, but they're fixed. Now I just have to figure out how to link this in to the rest of the Garden…

Why the chicken crossed the road is of no importance. The real question is how did it find the money for a suit and train ticket? Find out in this intriguing animated short from Jelena Oroz.
Update: Yes, in retrospect, embedding the correct video would probably have helped the narrative. To be fair though, New York Rework by Sebastien Desmedt is a pretty awesome piece in its own right—a Tale of Two (New York) Cities, if you will. *Ducks volley of spoiled produce*

The first official photos of the Porsche Panamera GT have caused quite a stir, though some would argue that stirring feeling is limited to the stomach area. With a growing four-door sports car market, Porsche clearly made an effort to differentiate the Panamera from production models like the Jaguar XF and concepts like the Lamborghini Estoque. From most angles there's no mistaking the production model from a Porsche, with the design picking up many of the brand's most important cues. Is that a good thing, especially after the lukewarm reception of the Cayenne by design divas? Are you in love, indifferent or incensed at Porsche for stretching the brand yet again?
Everyone was up-in-arms when the Porsche Cayenne SUV was first revealed, but the utility vehicles have been widely embraced and the looks have aged well. But a Porsche sedan? The dentist/plastic surgeon set will go nuts for it because it's an expensive Porsche they can move the family in, but we're less than pleased with the design. From the front it looks too busy, from the profile it looks too long and from the rear it looks too dumpy. Perhaps this is one of those vehicles that gets better with age, but we're not sure if we'll be alive when that much time has passed.

Not long ago, I watched a featurette with excerpts from the Interstellar movie, which showed the gargantuan amount of work and sweat Nolan brethren, Kip Thorne and others put in whilst exploring the behaviour of a black hole. The crisp meticulous attention and the minute details that went in their work flabbergasted me beyond limit. So, naturally hopeful was written all over my head. And boy! Nolan never disappoints.
Concept and Science
Strewn with science, Interstellar movie not only takes you on a joy ride, it educates you as well. The concept of space-time singularity pervades throughout the flick as we witness a superb simulation of a black hole, and it doesn't stop at just that. We go into it! Yes, through the eyes of our protagonist for the first time, we witness a distinct theoretical world that finds pragmatism. An impeccable representation of Tesseract with threads of time.
Direction of Interstellar Movie
The best thing about Nolan is the enormity of the project he takes. The script is so beautifully written that it rivets you right from the start. The concept is like magic – a miracle happening in a distant galaxy. As the story of Interstellar movie unfolds it makes you feel as if you are getting closer to finding answers to our existence finally. The plot however has something else in store for you. And it is a big fat blunt satire on our loneliness. We are alone and all we have is each other. That is the penultimate truth.
Wormhole has never been explored like this before. How time plays tricks on you, powerful representation of anomalies, the wickedness of human mind when left alone in despair(that Matt Damon bit), how the music of nature (the rain, the thunder and the cricket chirping noise) makes you feel home, the conundrum of our purpose, the humour of TARS, the physics that touches almost every part in the flick, the poetry of the brave and wise through Dylan Thomas's words, superb lamenting conversations, and the brain-wrecking revelations in the end – every tiny detail has been exemplified with proper logical explanations and shown on a platter of sensations.
Extraordinary Drama
Emotional surge is strong, and with a power pack performance by Matthew McConnaughey everything uplifts. Bits of a father-daughter melodrama are the most feeling kind. Shatters you from the inside, as you empathize with the protagonist's tears. Hans Zimmer touches your heart with his profound score. Notes are so brilliant that they put you right into the flick. This too would sit amongst Zimmer's best works.
The Final Verdict
It is one of the most ambitious projects that would be remembered in impending debates for the intricacies it touches and the science it explores. Nolan is certainly one of a kind director, a great gift to mankind, a wise man who wouldn't go gentle into that good night. Kudos to yet another mammoth achievement!
