Happy to see people here are being concerned with fairplay and cheating. I reported once in a while, but 1) no reward whatsoever came 2) it does not change the final result of a game and balance of cubits once you've been fooled (cheated) by someone.... this would be a big improvement, but unlikely to happen soon, i'm afraid. Anyway, i'll keep on reporting whenever I think (on serious basis) someone is cheating. Playing underscore is often very obvious when a 1400-1600 is developing or playing a 2000+ endgame in a 1' game. But the difficult part (for me) is when you meet a "multiple ID" CC player. By "multiple" i mean those who create accounts in numerous amount... they are sandbaggers alright, but by the time you realize they are, they have already changed and they won't come by in their former ID for a laps. Better write down their nicks....
Hey ripley2,
Thanks for your help. All rewards are given out. In the future when you report a suspect you can always try and follow up with me, or follow up with the moderator you reported to. Send me an e-mail too. This is what I'm here for Just keep bugging me
Regarding rewards, we always return the amount of cubits you have been cheated on top of the extra bonus you get from the reward. For example you play a user for a 2000 cubit game and you come to report that user as you suspect them of using chess engine assistance, after our team analyzes these games and user history (the user gets banned), we reward you with your initial 2000 cubits + the reward.
I hope this clears some of the doubts you have had.
With due respect, I too have reported sandbaggers, only about half (the most extreme examples, maybe 500+ points sandbagging) have been dealt with AFAIK, and I don't ever recall being issued the rewards promised nor the cubits that I should have gotten via lost immediate tournament placements or via leaderboards rewards. Either I have missed the cubits being awarded (entirely possible) or they have indeed not been awarded, either way it looks bad to those trying to report cheaters if said reports are not dealt with nor rewarded as promised.
I would suggest that these awarded cubits get referenced via the "notifications" tab via the "home tab" so that it is clear to people that they have indeed been awarded, and also that a clean and clear definition of sandbagging is given so that people have a reference point as to avoid confusion and grief when their understanding of the term differs from whatever criteria is utilized by CC staff. I would also suggest that all people reporting legitimate cheaters every month or so get put into a raffle for a VIP membership, which would be a bigger incentive with little cost to CC, and would encourage others to report cheaters even when they don't need cubits.
(Related, my VIP failed to deliver the 4 weekly videos promised, and did not let me choose the ones I did get, giving meinstead ones dealing with detailed lines of an opening I have no desire to play. This is a breach of contract and is bad advertising to both ourselves and to those we might talk to about chess websites. I hope myself and others who have been similarly defrauded get and apology and our choice of vidoes - in the numbers promised but not delivered via VIP - when this becomes possible.)
As noted in another thread (in the Suggestions forum), I would recommend adjusting everyone's rating every month or so (upwards if not downwards) to factor in their strength via non-rated games - especially tournament games. This would avoid this very profitable form of sandbagging that all but ensures that sandbaggers will win ratings-limited tournaments (and related leaderboard placements w/ cubit awards) while legitimate players lose out.
I believe that failure to do something like described above (clear definition and rewards delivered w/ notifications, etc.) will only serve to discourage reporting of cheaters, discourage people from using CC, and perhaps even encourage cheating overall. I hope CC administration will give it some serious thought and implement these ideas as soon as possible.
Re: ChessCube Cheat Detection Promotion Rewards
With all due respect, you are encouraging people with unsound minds to look for the devil under every rock. I for one am sick and tired of being accused of cheating every time i happen to win against some one who is having an off night. This is a bad idea. In the end who cares about a cheater any ways, they are only cheating themselves out of real experience in the game!
yours truly, JCIL

IT dept conducts surveys in IPL franchise offices
I-T sources said officials were sent to collect documents and details of the transactions, share holding patterns and financial investments of the franchises. The survey is also conducted at Amby Valley in Lonavala near Mumbai in connection with the Pune Warriors case, they said.
The Income Tax department is looking for the funding patterns for purchase of players by these franchises. According to preliminary reports, the I-T authorities had only visited the business premises of the franchises.
The surveys are being conducted in the wake of Pune Warriors` player Mohnish Mishra`s statement that he had got much more than his prescribed auction amount under the table as black money during a `sting` operation conducted by a news channel, which claimed to have exposed corruption in the IPL.
However, Mishra later retracted from his statement, saying he had done that casually "to develop his value".
The Pune Warriors team had suspended Mishra, hours after the BCCI handed him the same punishment for his alleged involvement in spot-fixing, pending a board inquiry. Income Tax sources said similar survey operations are also being conducted at the offices of Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), the IPL franchise in Bangalore.

Preliminary June Climate SummaryMost observers reported a near normal June mean temperature this year, with a few northern locations reporting slightly cooler than normal values. The highest temperature for the month occurred on the 20th with 91 degrees F at MSP, Amboy, and Madison. The lowest temperature for the month was 26 degrees F at Embarrass on the 3rd.
Like previous months this year, June turned out to be wetter than normal for most Minnesota observers. Exceptions were some areas of northern Minnesota which received less than normal rainfall for June. For some Minnesota communities it was a very wet month indeed. Among those reporting over 9 inches for the month were Morris, Albert Lea, Wells, Caledonia, Preston, and Spring Grove. The June rainfall of 12.13 inches at Spring Grove is a new record total for the month surpassing 11.70 inches in 2000, while the 12.58 inches reported from Wells, MN is also a new June record for them.
As a precursor to the abundant rainfall this month, the first week of June was the cloudiest in over 50 years with very little sunshine. Heavy rains, high winds and hail occurred in southern Minnesota on June 12th, with baseball size hail reported near Wells. Similar weather occurred across east-central Minnesota over Father's Day weekend (June 15-16), and again over southwestern Minnesota on June 18th. Heavy rains with high winds swept across central portions of the state over June 20-22, causing street flooding, tree damage, and widespread power outages, especially around the Twin Cities Metro Area. Lastly, over June 25-26 heavy thunderstorms over northern Wilkin County and southern Clay County brought 6-8 inches of rainfall and sent a flood crest down the Red River. You can read about this storm here.
July 4th climatologyFor the Twin Cities area rain has occurred on this holiday 49 times since 1891, the highest frequency of precipitation for all major holidays of the year. The longest streak of rainy Independence Days was six consecutive years from 1900 to 1905, with July 4th, 1900 being the wettest ever as 2.27 inches of rain fell from a thunderstorm. The holiday was rain-free for six consecutive years from 1939 to 1944 and again from 1952 to 1957.
In terms of temperature, the average high temperature for the date is 82 F and the average low 62 F. The average dew point is 59 F, but has been as high as 79 F (1999). The Heat Index (derived from temperature and humidity or dew point) has been uncomfortably high on the 4th of July a number of times. HI values above 90 F have occurred on 22 occasions since 1891. There have been eight July 4th holidays when the HI value exceeded 100 F, most recently 2012 when it hit 108 degrees F (with a record high temperature of 101 degrees F). The worst case was a Heat Index of 112 F in 1949. This was the cause of 12 heat related fatalities that year in the Twin Cities. The coldest daytime temperature on July 4th was just 58 degrees F in 1967. Early indications are we might be cooler than normal for this coming July 4th.
Weekly Weather potpourriThe NOAA National Weather Service Forecast Office in Las Vegas, NV is putting out an interesting forecast for that area of the country this weekend. Here are the weekend forecasted highs:
Las Vegas, NV 113 degrees F
Kingman, AZ 110 degrees F
Death Valley, CA (Furnace Creek) 129 degrees F
Needles, CA 125 degrees F
Bullhead, AZ 124 degrees F
These are near record values for this time of year.
Earlier this week NOAA released estimates of the economic impact of weather and climate events during 2012. Super Storm Sandy inflicted damage costs estimated at $65 billion, while yearlong drought conditions resulted in approximately $30 billion. The total bill for 2012 was estimated to be $110 billion, the 2nd costliest year in terms of weather and climate related disasters since such record keeping started in 1980. You can read more here.
Earlier this week President Obama presented a plan for dealing with climate change, most of which does not require the approval of Congress. He ask for actions to curb emissions and to find ways to adapt to climate change. He also said he has no patience for those who deny it is happening. You can read the full text of his speech at the White House web site.
MPR listener questionDid we see the highest dewpoints of the year so far this week? It was very hot and sticky on Wednesday as I drank over a gallon of water while pouring a new concrete sidewalk in Wayzata.
Answer: Yes indeed. Dew points ranged between 70 and 76 degrees F on Wednesday (June 26) this week, making the outside air feel like the mid to upper 90s F. In fact the Twin Cities reported four consecutive days this week, June 23-26, when the dewpoint hit 70 degrees F or higher, topping out at 74 degrees F on Wednesday. Though not quite record daily values, these are still very high for this time of year in Minnesota.
Twin Cities Almanac for June 28thThe average MSP high temperature for this date is 81 degrees F (plus or minus 8 degrees F standard deviation), while the average low is 61 degrees F (plus or minus 7 degrees F standard deviation).
MSP Local Records for June 28thMSP weather records for this date include: highest daily maximum temperature of 102 degrees F in 1931; lowest daily maximum temperature of 64 degrees F in 1923; lowest daily minimum temperature of 47 F in 1924; highest daily minimum temperature of 82 F in 1931; and record precipitation of 3.60 inches at Moorhead (Clay County) in 1897; No snow has been recorded on this date.
Average dew point for June 28th is 59 degrees F, with a maximum of 77 degrees F in 1996 and a minimum of 33 degrees F in 1925.
All-time state records for June 28thThe state record high temperature for this date is 108 degrees F at Canby (Yellow Medicine) in 1931. The state record low temperature for this date is 24 degrees F at Sawbill Camp (Cook County) in 1936. State record precipitation for this date is 5.70 inches at Fosston (Polk County) in 1921; and no snow has fallen on this date.
Past Weather Features:A Heat Wave prevailed over the state during June 26-30, 1931. The hottest June 28th in state history brought high temperatures of 100 degrees F or greater to over 24 Minnesota communities, topped by 108 degrees F at Canby. In fact Canby, Montevideo, Willmar, Tracy, and Winona all reported 5 consecutive days with afternoon highs of 100 degrees F or greater. Thankfully a cold front swept in over July 1-2 and dropped temperatures by 25 to 35 degrees F.
Heavy rains rescued Minnesota crops from drought over June 25-28, 1959. Rainfall amounts from 2 to 5 inches fell that week just as crops were withering from drought conditions. Some observers reported record-setting amounts of rain on the 28th, including Winnebago with 3.51 inches (still a record today).
June 28, 1983 brought record cold to northeastern Minnesota counties where a number of observers reported overnight lows of 27 to 31 degrees. There were many frosted gardens.

(Macroclemys temminckii)
The alligator snapping turtle has three very distinctive ridges running along the length of its shell. Shell length can reach up to 66 centimetres long and fully grown adults may weigh up to 80 kilograms. They have an extremely long tail, which can measure as long as their shell. With their rather large head and sharp, beak like jaws, the alligators snapping turtle is a formidable aquatic predator.
Alligator snapping turtles are found in the southeastern United States. They generally inhabit freshwater rivers, canals, lakes and swamps, preferring the areas of still water. Young hatchling turtles will live in smaller streams.
Both a hunter and scavenger, the alligator snapping turtle will eat fish, frogs, snakes, snails, worms, clams, crayfish aquatic plants and even other turtles. This turtle has a unique method of catching its prey. It will sit motionless on the bottom of the waterway, mouth wide open. They wiggle a small, pink, worm-like lure on the bottom of their mouth. This clever lure helps to attract their prey. Once the prey item is close enough, the alligator snapping turtle will quickly grab it with its powerful jaws. As these turtles are very patient hunters, it is not unusual for algal growth to develop on their shells due to their sedentary nature. This growth can further assist their stealthy hunting technique by creating camouflage for the head and shell.
Alligator snapping turtles reach sexual maturity between 11 and 13 years of age. Mating season is between April and June and during this period, the females will lay clutches of 8-50 eggs into a hole dug in the sand, usually 50 metres from the shoreline. The eggs are incubated in the sand for 100-140 days before the hatchlings emerge. The hatchlings look very much like the adult alligator snapping turtle and are independent from the moment they emerge from the nest.
Alligator Snapping Turtle Profiles
Age: 64 Years (DOB 1/7/1955)
Sex: Male
Lightning is our largest alligator snapping turtle and the father of many of our zoo born Alligator Snapping Turtles. This big boy gets his name 'Lightning' for a reason. He doesn't particularly like anyone intruding in on him in his pond and he will very quickly chase you out. On the other hand if you are bringing him some nice juicy fish it is a totally different story.
When Lightning eats he usually swallows the fish whole or slices them with his sharp, lightning-fast jaws. Lightning has lived here at the Zoo since 1985 and is very loved and respected. We are extremely lucky to have Lightning with us.

By chance I have a small collection from places Himself or I have visited. Actually it is a two-part collections but I'm only going to show half of it this time – the ladies! It is figures that represent the daily work of the different cultures in the area we are visiting.
I have my pieces on a shelf in my living room. Right now they are kind of just sitting there, as I haven't had an inspiration on how to arrange them. If anyone has an idea, I'd love to hear it!
It all started with these two ladies. Himself brought them back from one of his military trips to Ethiopia.
The lady on the left is cooking injera – the staple 'bread' of the country. It's made with a fermented batter made from teff flour. It's then pour on a clay disk and covered where it bakes and steams into a soft, spongy, delicious crepe-like bread.
The lady on the right is performing a ritual of hospitality… the coffee ceremony. To have this done for you by the lady of the house is quite an honor. The whole process takes several hours as she starts with roasting the green coffee beans over a small fire.
My seamstress is from Haiti… brought back after another one of Himself's military trips. Sewing is a common profession in Haiti and is especially common around the UN camps.
At Fourteen Falls, Kenya we met a sculptor who made simple clay figures of the daily life of his people group. He told us this particular piece was of his mother, who was a potter.
I picked this up in Canada. It is a First Nation girl who is taking care of one of the family's sled dogs.
This piece is from Alaska. It is a Native American etching/scrimshaw on fossilized ivory. (This type of ivory is legal to purchase.)
I wonder where my next lady will come from and what will be her work?

As the largest university in the world's leading knowledge economy, the California State University's impact tells an incredible story. The impact of CSU-related expenditures alone is nearly $17 billion annually, and the CSU returns $5.43 to the California economy for every dollar the state invests. Nearly 150,000 California jobs are supported by these expenditures.
When the impact of the higher earnings of CSU graduates is considered, the impact rises to $70.4 billion annually, and supports more than 485,000 jobs. The tax impact of this combined spending impact is 1.7 times greater than the state's annual investment in the CSU, making continued support of the CSU by the state critical to the future of California.
The campuses in each region contribute to the regional as well as the statewide economy. All campuses purchase goods and services from outside their immediate region, and some more than others. This loss of local impact is captured by the model as a regional "leakage" that impacts neighboring regions. By assessing both the local, regional, and statewide impact, the total impact of each campus can be fully understood.
This section of the website presents the key direct and total economic impacts for each of the eight regions defined by this study on their immediate local economy, neighboring regions and the state as a whole. The regions were defined primarily on geographical and economic grounds, by grouping together California counties with a common economic base, and follow the same regions that were defined in the CSU's 2004 economic impact analysis. The impacts for the regions vary based on the proportional spending by the campus and the numbers of out-of-area students and alumni.

Global, regional, and national advisory committees on immunization
Evidence-based guidance on immunization and vaccine-related policy and programming is provided by a network of advisory committees at the global, regional, and national levels.
The World Health Organization provides recommendations on immunization issues of global importance. The WHO uses its convening power to receive recommendations from independent external advisory committees, which are comprised of experts from various geographical and institutional backgrounds acting in their own capacity. The committees' deliberations, which are issued in the form of advice to the WHO Director-General, then provide the basis for WHO immunization policy recommendations. The principal advisory group to WHO for vaccines and immunization is the Strategic Advisory Group of Experts (SAGE) on Immunization, which is charged with advising WHO on overall global policies and strategies, ranging from vaccines and technology, research and development, to delivery of immunization and its linkages with other health interventions.
SAGE is supported and/or works in concert with a number of technical advisory committees. The Global Advisory Committee on Vaccine Safety (GACVS) provides scientific advice on issues of vaccine safety that are of potential global or regional concern and may have an impact on national immunization programmes. The Expert Committee on Biological Standardization (ECBS) sets norms and standards for the manufacturing, licensing and control to ensure the quality of vaccines and other biological products. The Immunization and Vaccines Related Implementation Research Advisory Committee (IVIR-AC) provides advice and recommendations on immunization and vaccine-related implementation research, including reviews of the relevance and applicability of quantitative methods, agenda setting and prioritization of research, and reviews of implementation progress and best practices. The Immunization Practices Advisory Committee (IPAC) advises WHO on the formulation of immunization strategies and operational standards, the tools and technologies necessary to reach and sustain high levels of immunization coverage and to promote immunization services of high quality.
At the regional level, Technical Advisory Groups (RTAGs) on Immunization have been established in each of the six WHO regions (Africa, the Americas, the Eastern Mediterranean, Europe, South-East Asia and the Western Pacific). RTAGs provide WHO Regional Directors and countries in the respective regions with recommendations on regional immunization priorities and strategies in light of the regional epidemiological and social context. Finally, the majority of industrialized and some developing countries have formally established National Technical Advisory Groups (NITAGs) to guide immunization policies. As countries have autonomy for decision making regarding their national policies and strategies and are responsible for implementing their own national programs and monitoring resulting impacts, NITAGs play a central role in providing guidance to national policy-makers and programme managers to enable them to make evidence-based immunization-related policy and programme decisions.

How much they'll cost, where they will be available, or what the four scents for men—George Orwell, Marquis de Sade, Pierre Choderlos de Laclos and Edgar Allan Poe—will smell like is unclear (pig, sex, more sex and decaying flesh, respectively?), but each beautiful inkwell-shaped bottle will be topped by an author-appropriate sculpture, as pictured at right.

KDE 3.0 Release Plan Update
The KDE 3.0 Release Plan has been updated, with the KDE 3.0 Release Candidate 1 (likely to be renamed Beta2 shortly) now scheduled for February 4th, followed by a "deep freeze", and the announcement of KDE 3.0 on March 18th. A list of KDE 3.0 planned features is available as well as a list of features postponed for KDE 3.1.
Tab support in Konqueror
Let me be the first to express my excitement for the upcoming tab support in Konqueror 3.1. I am glad to see this handy feature finally making its way into Konq; perhaps I can finally switch over from Galeon and move to a purer KDE desktop.

Re: Tab support in Konqueror
Is this an idea you came up with, or an idea originated elsewhere?
If it's your idea, can you make up some diagrams and more exact explainations?
If it's a borrowed idea, could you point to some diagrams and more comprehensive explainations?
This sounds very intruguing, and as a fan of tabbed windows, I am very intersted in this.
By Sam Kennedy at Fri, 2002/01/25 - 6:00am
Re: Tab support in Konqueror
There's a window manager called pwm (http://www.students.tut.fi/~tuomov/pwm/) that's built around having tabbed windows. You could get some implementation and usage ideas there.
By Buuba at Sat, 2002/01/26 - 6:00am
Re: Tab support in Konqueror
I agree with Jens.
I use NetCaptor (windows tabbed browser) at work. I find it very usefull that you can simply flick between different tabs, and open a new tab by simply shift clicking on a link. The advantage is that I have available all the tabs necessary to perform some function, i.e. surfing during breaks. However there is no reason why this concept could not be extending in actual work.
Say for instance I get an email saying I have to perform some peice of work, e.g. I have to make a presentation about something.
I could have some master app where all my work derives from, i.e. email/groupware application, which is able to spawn workspaces.
From this app, I spawn a new workspace that begins with an email saying "Hey Konrad can you give a presentation on something..."
I could then open a bunch of various documents associated with that email. So all the work associated with that presentation is contained within the workspace, with tabs along the side of the screen, and with headers of each document (i.e. work process) involved in achieving the presentation.
If somebody interrupts me and asks me to do something else. I spawn a new workspace. Once I've finished I simply close it. And reopen the previous workspace.
There shouldn't be a fixed number of workspaces to choose from either, you should be able to create as many as wish - dynamically.
So for instance you could have a horizontal bar, outlining all the workspaces you have open, and a bar above that with the windows you have open in the workspace you selected.
You could move throught the work you have for the day, by clicking on the workspace.
Currently tabbed interfaces and MDI's are designed around a particular application. But it is very rare for me to be in the same application all day performing a variety of tasks. Usually the only people who do, have taken the time to customize that application to perform a variety of things. But this should really be the responsibility of the gui.
By Konrad Dear at Fri, 2002/01/25 - 6:00am
Re: Tab support in Konqueror
Just switch between workspaces for each task and use each taskbar to switch between windows for each task. And don't forget to uncheck "show all windows" in the taskbar configuration tool.
By Julien Olivier at Fri, 2002/01/25 - 6:00am
Re: Tab support in Konqueror
I use tabs in Konsole and Mozilla ALL THE TIME.
I love tabbed multi-session interfaces. They allow me to open many many sessions, and easily hop between them.
In fact, I like it so much, I get frustrated when I have to do work on a Windows machine, because PuTTy doesn't have tabs. And the windows task bar is a POOR substitute.
I like the idea of an system wide tab architecture, but I don't think it would be appropriate for some applications. Terminal apps, browsers, text editors, and such would all benefit. But what about admin interfaces? Server windows? It would have to be an OPTION for the application programmer, not the rule.
The greatest strength in a system wide tab architecture would be the uniform use of certain key strokes to switch between tabs. Mozilla currently implements CTRL+PGUP-PGDWN. And Konsole currently uses SHIFT+LEFT-RIGHT.
By Matthas Trevarthan at Fri, 2002/12/13 - 6:00am
Re: Tab support in Konqueror
I got frustrated working with putty and the taskbar too. There is a program (tabmanager)called WinTabber (http://www.wintabber.com) that can tab many programs like putty, notepad, cmd. This should help you out on windows!
By tabtastic at Thu, 2006/04/13 - 5:00am
Re: Tab support in Konqueror
I would just be happy if half the shockwave sites would work. I know that this is a web site problem not a Konqueror, but the authoring siftware from macromedia puts the check in that makes it impossible to view the pages with Konqueror.

noatun and kcontrol
impressive stuff! I have two questions. when will noatun be able to play divx files? (I doubt this is a very intelligent question.. it's just one of those rare things I personally miss in kde! well, actually I don't miss it but it would be nice.) and about kcontrol, I'm normally a debian user (the debian kde packages are superb btw!) and a few days ago I decided to install SuSE, just for fun. I found out it does a terrible integration with the kde control panel, ugly and slow. so I wondered if people have thought about making a standard kde control hardware/software configuration, a sort of high-level layer that can distributions can communicate with. so that, for instance, if I want to install Flightgear, I can go to the software section and type in flightgear, or select it from a list and it will be installed, regardless of my distribution. it could be that apt-get downloads it for me, or yast-online-update or whatever. same thing for hardware detection etc. imho this would be a great addition to kde!
By mark dufour at Thu, 2002/01/24 - 6:00am
Re: noatun and kcontrol
Playing divx files and the like is easily done through programs such as aviplay (a part of avifile, search on freshmeat), mplayer and xine. Although there is nothing with a pure KDE interface for the moment, I don't notice that while watching DVDs...
By Hamish Rodda at Thu, 2002/01/24 - 6:00am
Re: noatun and kcontrol
playing divx is possible with noatun. You just need to download the DIVX play object for arts from http://mpeglib.sf.net install it and restart artsd/noatun again
By zecke at Thu, 2002/01/24 - 6:00am
Re: noatun and kcontrol
> I wondered if people have thought about making a standard kde control hardware/software configuration, a sort of high-level layer that can distributions can communicate with.
Of course people have *thought* about it. Everyone agrees this would be a great thing to have, it has been discussed before. The problem is, the amount of work involved is prohibitive, plus the distributions might not cooperate because much of their value comes from their third-party configuration tools, which would be rendered obsolete by a KDE native solution.
The Ximian setup tools come closest to accomplishing what you want. I haven't heard anything about them in a while though, and the plan to make a KDE frontend for them fell flat on its face (twice). So I don't know what's going on in that department.
About KDE playing divx files: the recent meeting about aRts was on the topic of video, does anyone know what happened at that meeting?

I forget. Can the desktop menu and the KDE menubar at the top of the screen be enabled at the same time? That would be great for Mac interface emulation. I don't think Apple would protest. (just the Aqua part, though)
By Dylan Lainhart at Thu, 2002/01/24 - 6:00am
I tested the current beta last week and I'm impressed with the bunch of improvements which are small but make you wonder how you could live without them =)
Though, in their strive for easy handling the KDE developers removed some options I greatly miss (perhaps I'm just too stupid to find them - I've got this problem quite often =). You can no longer deactivate the icon bar right of the sidebar in Konqueror and the tree view of the options in the icon bar (bookmarks, audiocd, ...) is not available. A other example is that you can't deactivate the annoying "Windows©"-Bar in the file dialog (you know the links to Desktop, Home, ...) and some others. It seems with every major release KDE needlessly loses some of its functionality wich is then restored in the the following releases (as the configurable window buttons)
Fortunately this are minor flaws I'm ready to endure for the best DE out there

Could it be true...WebDAV support through KIO???
- WebDAV support, Hamish Rodda
This is one of THE biggest things I've been hoping for. If it is true, I will jump for joy (and maybe do a cartwheel or two). A WebDAV i/o slave would allow for all kinds of wonderful Web-based collaberative workflows. I could make Zope (which you're viewing right now) a seamless document repository for KOffice, etc. My ears have definately perked up.
By Eron Lloyd at Thu, 2002/01/24 - 6:00am
Re: Could it be true...WebDAV support through KIO?
But will it support the WebDAV extension Zope requires to feed the SOURCE to an object and not the rendered object?
By anon at Thu, 2002/01/24 - 6:00am
Re: Could it be true...WebDAV support through KIO?
Zope serves up non-rendered source through the WebDAV port automatically. Be sure that you're starting Zope with the right parameters, and there's nothing to it.
--- Chris
By C W Carlson at Thu, 2002/01/24 - 6:00am
Re: Could it be true...WebDAV support through KIO?
Hamish developed the WebDAV support with Zope in mind. He tested against my Zope server at iuveno AG, and also against Apache mod_dav.
I am not exactly sure about the full features list, but you will definitely be able to use Konqueror + an editor of your choice as a kind of out-of-the-box IDE for Zope. SSL is also fully supported already.
BTW: The next step is now to make sure that Zope can "understand" KOffice XML docs. Think of dynamically generated charts that you can customize in KOffice! We are trying to do the same in OpenOffice, too, which will be more platform-independent. But it should be easy to support KOffice file formats, too.

What about the KDE print bugs?
I'm really impressed with the improvements in KDE 3, but I think two really serious problems have been ignored. One is the KHTML print bug which repeats the last lines from one page on the top of the next page, the other is the general KDE print problem which bases printer font size on screen font size, causing really huge fonts to appear on all printouts. Both of these problems are documented bugs. Any idea on when they'll be fixed? As much as I like KDE, how good is a desktop environment that can't print properly?
By hdw at Sun, 2002/01/27 - 6:00am
Is there is chance that the KDE and GNOME teams are going to be getting together in the future on to sort out things like menu and pixmap settings?
It seems really silly to me that I have KDE menus in one place and GNOME menus in another place - and this is the same with pixmaps other little things. When I, as an enduser, want to put a wallpaper on my desktop it seems like a waste to go searching through multiple locations to find the one that I want. Make it easy for me and others and we will switch on over.
By csp at Mon, 2002/01/28 - 6:00am
Re: KDE/GNOME
Don't forget you have a $HOME directory all for yourself. Put all your wallpapers/pixmaps that's specific to yourself in a location of your choice.

Trying to Conceive & Pregnancy Community
Desired Color Scheme:
Pink or Blue
Desired Style:
Fun, girly, clean, friendly, horizontal layout, on transparent background
Accepted File Formats:
Illustrator and any fonts used, gif
I need a fun new logo for TwoWeekWAIT.com, a site for women trying to have a baby or who are currently pregnant.
Background: The "two week wait" is the time from when a woman ovulates to the time she can take a pregnancy test - exactly 14 days long - hence the term "two week wait".
However, the site has grown to include content for pregnancy as well, so the focus is less on the actual definition of the term and more on incorporating pregnancy and motherhood in addition to those trying to conceive a baby.
Logo should be girly, fun, friendly, professional, and use pink in it somewhere (doesn't need to be all pink). The logo should be horizontal (not tall/vertical) and have a transparent background (but will be used on a white background).
Our website is super popular so it will look good on anyone's portfolio!

I was up far past my bed time finishing The Hunger Games. Haven't done that since my Harry Potter days! I can't wait to get to book number two, I feel like a bit of my life is on hold until I do.
Lazily rolled out of bed for breakfast
PB&J + a Greenmonsta -banana, chia seeds, spinach, coconut milk (from a carton)
I've decided that I do not enjoy So Delicious unsweetened coconut milk. So far, I've tried it with cereal, oatmeal and smoothies. I find it thick but watery, bland and almost cardboardy. Not coconutty at all! Well, I impulsively bought a shelf-stable six pack of it from Costco and it is tolerable in smoothies so I'll slowly but surely be working my way through it.
After breakfast I curled up onto the couch and watched The Help with my mom, amazing movie, I wish I had read the book first!
Eventually I peeled myself off of the sofa to go to The Yoga Passage for my karma cleaning shift and a hot class. Perfect little Sunday.
Christmas is around the corner and here are all the things I'm asking Santa for
Now that I've been bitten by the reading bug again (for a while there all I read was blogs and nutrition facts panels…) I have a huge list of books that are on my radar. There is a certain comfort that comes with reading a 'real' book, but I've never been the type to read a book more than once. Therefore I see a Kindle in my near future, whether santa gets me one or not.
iPhone 4s
My Blackberry is alright but I realize that an iPhone probably suits my
high maintinence requirements better.
I was introduced to bolsters when I accidentally took a restorative yoga class last year. Not only did I find a new appreciation for slow, deep restorative practises, but I don't know how I went so long without bolsters in my life! Once I drape myself over one of these, it's very difficult to get me off.
Manduka Mat
my yoga mat is starting to tear where my hands and feet are placed in downward dog. Time for an upgrade!

Linux gets jiggy with more filesystems in 2.6.34 kernel release
'Just how i like it,' notes languid Torvalds
On Sunday a new version of the Linux kernel rocked up, with two new filesystems loaded into the distro.
Laidback Linux founder Linus Torvalds characteristically understated the relevance of the latest 2.6.34 release in a post about the final release candidate.
"Nothing very interesting here, which is just how I like it. Various random fixes all over, nothing really stands out. Pretty much all of it is one- or few-liners, I think the biggest patch in the last week was fixing some semantics for the new SR-IOV VF netlink interface. And even that wasn't a _big_ patch by any means," he languidly noted.
But open source software fans and vendors will be happy to see the Ceph distributed filesystem, which supports many petabytes of storage, and flash media-happy LogFS filesystem included in the 2.6.34 release of Linux.
It comes a little under three months since version 2.6.33 of the kernel was pushed out.
"So 2.6.34 is out, and the merge window is thus officially open. As usual, I probably won't do any real pulls for a day or two, in the (probably futile) hope that we'll have more people running plain 2.6.34 for a while. But you can certainly start sending me pull requests. Go forth and test," said Torvalds.
The full rundown of what's included in the latest Linux kernel can be viewed here. ®

Ladies' Plate Results | Remenham Cup Results
Temple Cup Results | Prince Albert Cup Results
Previous Recaps: Day 1 | Day 2 | Day 3 | Day 4
HENLEY-ON-THAMES, England—The Harvard heavyweight varsity eight came from behind to defeat Leander Club by just a foot in a thrilling race for the Ladies' Challenge Plate to close the Henley Royal Regatta Sunday on the Thames River.
The Crimson won its eighth Ladies' Plate overall, its second in three years and its third in its last four appearances in the event. Harvard leaves Henley with a trophy for the third straight year and having seen each of its five entries win at least two races. The victory put a winning finish on the 50th season at the helm for Harry Parker, the Thomas Bolles Head Coach for Harvard Men's Crew.
"It was just an absolutely terrific effort on the part of the crew; they outdid themselves," Parker said. "They beat a very, every experienced and talented crew."
Leander led by nearly a boat length in the race's first mile, was ahead at both the Barrier and Fawley splits and owned a three-seat edge with barely 50 meters left. The British crew, however, had no answer for Harvard's ferocious sprint. Most of the standing spectators in the grandstand could not tell who won the race until seeing the Crimson oarsmen celebrating. Harvard's winning time was 6:33, the fastest mark in any event in this year's regatta.
"There were two aspects of the race," said Parker. "The crew did a terrific job of keeping Leander close enough so they could get through them at the end. And then the sprint at the end was absolutely tremendous. It's hard to match the caliber of the effort they put in."
Harvard's victorious oarsmen were Patrick Lapage, James O'Connor, Caspar Jopling, Matthew Edstein, Sam O'Connor, Michael DiSanto, Andrew Holmes and Parker Washburn. Seniors Lapage, Edstein, Sam O'Connor and DiSanto claimed the Ladies' Plate for the second time, having won the event in 2010. Coxswain David Fuller captured his second straight Henley medal, a year after guiding Harvard to victory in the Prince Albert Challenge Cup.
"It was a phenomenal race," said associate head coach Bill Manning. "The guys knew that they could do it if they didn't let Leander get too much of a lead. It was just a fantastic race, a fantastic sprinting finish."
Another Harvard heavyweight, Josh Hicks, was victorious as well. He stroked the winning entry in the Stewards' Challenge Cup in the National Rowing Centre of Excellence A entry, a coxless four of Australian under-23 rowers. Hicks, who also stroked an Aussie eight in the Grand Challenge Cup event, helped his four top the Waiariki Rowing Club of New Zealand by two-thirds of a length in 7:15.
Former Harvard heavyweight coxswain Chris Kingston '11 was also a winner Sunday at Henley, steering his Star Club four to the Britannia Challenge Cup. That win to start the morning of racing was almost as close as the Crimson's later. Star Club edged the Taurus Boat Club by three feet in 7:44.
Earlier in the week, three other Harvard/Radcliffe boats reached the semifinals of their Henley events: the Harvard lightweight varsity eight in the Temple Challenge Cup, the Radcliffe heavyweight varsity eight in the Remenham Challenge Cup and the Harvard heavyweight four in the Prince Albert Challenge Cup. The Harvard heavyweight freshman eight made the Temple quarterfinals, and lightweight sophomore Andrew Campbell advanced to the semis of the Diamond Challenge Sculls.
"All of our other boats, without exception, lost to the eventual winner of the regatta," Parker said. "They each have a legitimate claim to being the second-best boat in their event, and that's very much to their credit. It was great to win today, but the other crews also acquitted themselves extremely well."

Offering a selection of massages to women in Northamptonshire looking for something a little naughty.
An erotic massage is performed completely naked and is not the same as a regular massage in that the erogenous zones of the body are targeted during course of the sensual massage. Every part of your body is touched, the end result is you feeling sexually awoken and stimulated. I am available for women of all ages in Northamptonshire who want to explore their sexuality.
Yoni Massage for Women in Northamptonshire
A yoni massage takes the sensual massage to another level with all parts of your Yoni (clitoris, vulva and g-spot) massaged. Massaging the g-spot, where deep feelings of sexual and spiritual ecstasy can be unlocked is incredibly erotic and the end results can be quite astounding.
Naturist Massage for Women in Northamptonshire
I offer a full body nude massage for women in Northamptonshire. A naturist massage is practiced totally nude, you and I or just you are naked, this helps both the recipient of the treatment and me to be on a more equal level, making the experience more relaxing and beneficial. The naked massage I offer has a holistic approach, meaning our massage experience is not just physical, it is deeper, incorporating the mind, body and spirit.

Three Houston Dynamo homegrown players earned conference accolades for their success in the 2013 NCAA men's soccer season.
In the ACC, senior Duke defender Sebastien Ibeagha earned first team All-ACC accolades. A two-year captain at center back for the Blue Devils, Ibeagha helped lead the defense to a 0.93 goals against average and eight shutouts on the year while also adding two goals. Ibeagha was named to the first team last year as well, and earned second team honors in 2011.
Goalkeeper Fernando Pina of Akron also received first team all-conference honors in the Mid-American Conference. Pina, a redshirt freshman, started all 18 games for perennial powerhouse Akron, keeping a 0.62 goals against average with eight shutouts and saving 78.2% of shots faced. Pina and the Zips compiled a 14-3-1 record in the regular season and enter postseason play ranked No. 18 in the nation.
Akron begins the MAC tournament tonight against West Virginia, which features fellow Dynamo Academy alumni Christian Diaz and Alex Ochoa. The match starts at 6 p.m. CT and can be streamed for free at MAC-Sports.com.
Tulsa defender Bradley Bourgeois was named to the All-Conference USA third team. A sophomore center back, Bourgeois was named C-USA Defensive Player of the Week once this year and helped record six shutouts. Tulsa—which also features Dynamo homegrown players Abe Matamoros and Christian Camera—faces New Mexico in the C-USA semifinals at 4 p.m. CT today.
Also of note for Dynamo homegrown players was senior Notre Dame goalkeeper Pat Wall. Wall started all 18 games in goal for the Fighting Irish, recording eight shutouts and a 12-1-5 record en route to a No. 3 ranking in the NCAA. He stopped 83.1% of shots faced and allowed 0.57 goals per game.
Wall and the Irish defeated Duke in the ACC quarterfinals on Tuesday, and will face Virginia in the semifinals today at 4:30 p.m. CT on ESPN3.

Перевод песни Tom Lehrer – My Home Town
Работает на технологии Яндекс.Переводчика
Next we have the dear-hearts-and-gentle-peoples school of songwriting, in which the singer tells you that, no matter how much sin and vice and crime go on where he comes from, its still the be Ace in the world because its home, you know. sort of gets you. this example is called my home town. I really have a yen To go back once again, Back to the place where no one wears a frown, To see once more those super-special just plain folks In my home town. No fellow could ignore The little girl next door, She sure looked sweet in her first evening gown. Now theres a charge for what she used to give for free In my home town. I remember dan, the druggist on the corner, e Was never mean or ornery, He was swell. He killed his mother-in-law and ground her up real well, And sprinkled just a bit Over each banana split. The guy that taught us math, Who never took a bath, Acquired a certain measure of renown, And after school he sold the most amazing pictures In my home town. That fellow was no fool Who taught our sunday school, And neither was our kindly parson brown. Were recording tonight so I have to leave this line out. In my home town. I remember sam, he was the village idiot. And though it seems a pity, it Was so. He loved to burn down houses just to watch the glow, And nothing could be done, Because he was the mayors son. The guy that took a knife And monogrammed his wife, Then dropped her in the pond and watched her drown. Oh, yes indeed, the people there are just plain folks In my home town.

The kids LOVED it and have said at least a million times that it was the highlight of their week. It's too bad that we don't have a beach in Kentucky because I could totally see Sadie and Noah becoming full time surfin' bums.
The company that we surfed with was just awesome with the kids. The instruction was so good that everyone got up on their first wave! Miles was a bit too small and he's not a strong swimmer, so he and I took up residence on the beach and enjoyed watching the others have the time of their lives. Our kids now want to plan all of our vacations around where they can surf. I just love watching them try new things and have so much fun doing it! The instructor took a fancy pants camera out during their lesson and got some of the most stunning photos that I just had to share. I can't wait to frame some of these!

In Their Own Words - Carroll Shelby
At 85, Carroll Shelby Is Still As Hard-Core As Ever. We Sat Down With Him And A Handful Of Photos To Relive The Past.
His name is synonymous with all things fast. Carroll Shelby is the last remaining original American icon of high performance. Regardless of your brand loyalty, the man has built some incredible performance machines and developed many innovative performance components that have revolutionized the industry. From racing Aston Martins and Maseratis in the '50s to Cobra and Shelby Mustang development in the '60s, he may now be writing his greatest chapter ever with the creation of the Shelby Cars complex in Las Vegas.
Despite his recent 85th birthday, Carroll continues to clock-in daily, creating more performance models and garnering more headlines than anyone in the American performance car arena. We caught up with him recently and tossed a few old (and new) photos under his nose, clicked on the recorder, and let him speak his mind. As colorful as always, he had some commentary we'd not heard before. For the entire interview, head to HOTROD.com and click on "Shelby interview." Ol' Shelby-there's nothing like him.
