Equifax Announces Massive Data Breach Impacting 143 Million People In The United States
On September 7, 2017, consumer credit reporting agency Equifax announced that its systems have been hacked by data thieves and compromised the information of 143 million Americans.
According to Equifax, criminals exploited a U.S. website application vulnerability to gain access to certain files. Based on Equifax's investigation, the unauthorized access occurred from mid-May through July 2017. Equifax said it has found no evidence of unauthorized activity on Equifax's core consumer or commercial credit reporting databases.
The information accessed primarily includes names, Social Security numbers, birth dates, addresses and, in some instances, driver's license numbers. In addition, credit card numbers for approximately 209,000 U.S. consumers, and certain dispute documents with personal identifying information for approximately 182,000 U.S. consumers, were accessed.
Equifax stated it would notify those whose information was compromised, but did not give a timeframe for such notification.

The events of this week did provide us all one more answer about the future of the NFL in Los Angeles.
Simply, it doesn't involve the Vikings.
As for the rest of it, the league is no closer to returning to the nation's second-largest market. And the truth is, there's a good chance the NFL is still a long way from returning to a city it vacated -- twice over -- 17 years ago.
Where's the smart money on when the league will put a club there?
"The L.A. people wouldn't like the answer I'd give," said Marc Ganis, the president of SportsCorp Ltd., which served as a consultant during the departures of the Rams and Raiders in 1995. "It's not because there's not an interest (from teams). It's because there's not a deal."
The L.A. stadium efforts are where they've been.
Ed Roski and Majestic Realty's project in City of Industry, 20 miles east of Los Angeles, continues to be touted by his group as "shovel-ready," with the land and ability to host the gameday experience that the league wants. Majestic vice president John Semcken went so far Thursday as to say, "The project is ready to go, we just need a team." Trouble is, the project's location is viewed by some as far from ideal.
Meanwhile, the downtown project orchestrated by Tim Leiweke and AEG is still awaiting environmental approval. But it has more long-term issues, such as limitations in creating the pregame and postgame football atmosphere, and entanglements in AEG's desire to own whatever club lands there.
Glitzy as the downtown site is, there's a fair amount of support for the Roski project, according to club officials with knowledge of the situation. Though the possibility of Chavez Ravine, with the Los Angeles Dodgers now having been sold, is hovering, too.
So that's far from settled. And then there's the little matter of the league's perceived real motivation to get to Los Angeles, which is lower now than it has been in a while. A carrot for the NFL to re-inhabit the market was to squeeze more money out of the TV networks. But those deals were extended in December to go through the 2022 season -- meaning they'll expire in 11 years.
The league actually has found L.A. to be a profitable market from a TV standpoint if it's simply fed the best games week to week, which happens because there isn't a local club to stop that from happening.
That means the NFL can pick its spot. And with the league hell-bent on getting it right the next time in L.A., the ability to be patient is considered key. As one NFC executive said, "The league will wait until they get L.A. perfect -- perfect team, perfect owner, perfect location, perfect situation."
Given this catbird seat for the league, other factors will have to push the matter. First, one stadium site or another will have to emerge as the clear-cut answer to the "Where?" question that prevented L.A. from getting the expansion franchise that went to Houston in 2002. Second, a team will need to be motivated to go, with a large relocation fee likely. Third, the league will have to be satisfied that the team that goes to L.A. is the right one.
"There needs to be a certainty of success there from the league's standpoint, because this is gonna be their last chance at L.A. for decades," Ganis said. "They're not gonna shoehorn a deal in there."
At this point, only five teams are even considered realistic candidates -- the Chargers, Rams, Raiders, Jaguars and Bills. And of those five, just three seem to have an opening to go to L.A. coming on the immediate horizon: San Diego, St. Louis and Oakland.
Here's a quick breakdown of where things stand for each franchise ...
San Diego has a three-month escape clause at the beginning of each calendar year at this point in its lease, and could leave next year by paying just $22 million in outstanding bonds. Still, there's a feeling that the Spanos family doesn't want to leave, the NFL doesn't want to lose the San Diego market and a reasonable stadium deal will keep the Bolts there.
Haynesworth. More ...
They have the easiest out, and the shortest, most painless path, but they've already had the chance to go, and haven't. And they might not be the NFL's ideal answer to the L.A. question. Plus, there's the fact that -- and this effects the Raiders, too -- the California government won't be overly enthusiastic to help a stadium plan if it's simply robbing Peter to pay Paul.
The team has submitted a proposal to renovate the Edward Jones Dome to the St. Louis Convention and Visitors Commission. If it's accepted, the team's lease extends through 2025. If it's rejected, an arbitrator will work out a compromise plan, and the city accepting that one in December would also extend the lease to '25. If the city turns that one down, an out could be enacted in the Rams' lease in January 2015, pending some litigation.
What we know is owner Stan Kroenke has deep pockets and Los Angeles ties. The ball, for now, is in St. Louis' court to get the dome into the lease-prescribed "top 25 percent" of venues in the league.
The Raiders' lease is up after 2013. Sharing the 49ers' Santa Clara digs, set to open in 2014, is an option. A better one for the team would be gutting the Coliseum, which is located on a plot of land in Oakland the team feels is ideal. But the central question with the latter plan -- and really the former one, too -- is whether or not the Bay Area can support two teams, from a corporate standpoint, from a suite-selling standpoint, and -- if they were to play in separate venues long term -- from a naming-rights standpoint.
While some speculation exists that estate taxes will eventually force Mark Davis to sell the team, my understanding is that a plan is in place for the club to remain in the family. But that doesn't mean the family won't eventually see greener pastures in its old area code if its current region simply doesn't have room for two clubs to thrive financially.
The bottom line here is that Jacksonville simply hasn't grown the way the NFL envisioned when it awarded the city a franchise in 1995. But the club has been creative in trying to make its challenging conditions work. And with new ownership, the Jags probably aren't going anywhere for a while. One reason is the team's lease, which runs through 2030.
There is an out, but a tough one to enact. The Jaguars would have to prove they lost money three years in a row -- not an easy feat now, and one that might be tougher when the new TV deals kick in -- and then pay a significant fee on top of that. Also, Wayne Weaver put additional penalties for moving the team into his deal to sell the club to Shahid Khan, making it even more costly to do so. For now, Khan seems committed to making it work in Jacksonville. And really, for the time being, he doesn't have a choice.
Owner Ralph Wilson, who is in his 90s, has said the team will not be moved while he's still living. The club's succession plan is to put the team in a trust and sell to the highest bidder. Still, the club is negotiating a new lease and renovation plan, and its regionalization efforts have been largely successful. Thirty-two percent of the club's tickets sales have come from Rochester, an hour away, and Southern Ontario, and the league is interested in continuing to cultivate the Toronto market.
Down the line, could a new deep-pocketed owner swoop in, and whisk the team away? It's not impossible. But chances are, that won't happen any time soon.
So as we close in on the 20th anniversary of the Raiders' and Rams' escape from L.A., we still don't know the Where or the Who -- and now even the Why is coming into question when it comes to reestablishing the league's presence in the City of Angels.
The bottom line is the NFL is thriving. The TV deals are done. And those in Los Angeles that follow the NFL have displayed a contentment with being fed the premier games on a week-to-week basis, even if it means that the closest team is located more than 100 miles away.
Maybe that changes sometime in the near future. But as of right now, there doesn't seem to be any real urgency to make that happen.

Ten Rewards to Use with Your Dog during Training
Treats are a powerful training tool when you're teaching your dog proper behaviors. Most dogs prefer food treats, but some dogs respond better to toys or other playthings. Here are some edible and nonedible treats you can offer your dog when you're training him.
Dry or semi-dry treats
Almost any kind of fruit
Cheese (try low-sodium string cheese)
Large stones
His favorite toy
Your dog also may respond to verbal praise or petting as a motivator. Use whatever excites your dog — as long as it doesn't become a hindrance in your training. Trying to train a dog with a reward he doesn't like is pointless.
When using edible treats, use ones that you can keep in a pocket within easy reach. When you use something moist or soggy that has to be carried in a plastic bag, by the time you fish it out to give to your dog, he has forgotten what it's for.
The ideal treat is dry and no bigger than 1/4 inch (even smaller for toy dogs). The bigger the treat, the longer it takes your dog to consume it, which will break his concentration from what you're teaching him.
Make sure you choose a treat with very few ingredients and preservatives and one that provides good nutrition for your dog. Avoid treats high in salt or sugar and ones made in China.
Not all human food is safe for dogs. For example, the chemical agents found in chocolate that make it tasty to us are harmful for dogs. So keep your dog away from chocolate. Also avoid macadamia nuts and onions, which can cause abdominal pain and nausea. Grapes and raisins from nonorganic sources and candy that contains xylitol as a sugar substitute can cause nausea, liver failure, and seizures.

Back at the detour... Jessica says to switch. John tells her to slow down, or something like that. They switch detours. John says he's not thinking about the EP right now... He's thinking about slow and steady lol.
Next week on The Amazing Race...Will Dave & Connor's improbable streak continue? Dave thinks that they could win the race.DOUBLE U-TURN! Seems like there's some dramaaa.
at Phil's comment.
What an episode. Foreshadowing throughout with the XP comment in the cab in New Zealand, to the "We're both detail oriented" comments. This year the men in the two couples are way too analytical of everything, and the girls end up being right on everything with little to no thinking I just can't believe they didn't use the express pass. She said it twice at the fruit detour, once on the way to the coal detour, once at the coal detour, and once at the roadblock, and he still didn't listen. Stubborn as hell!
In their team intro, they said they were planning on getting married, but haven't been engaged yet.I also find it ironic that in their intro picture they were standing next to surfboards.

ASTON - Phoenixville's girls hung with favored Sun Valley for most of the game before falling to the Vanguards, 66-51, in the first round of the District 1-AAA playoffs Tuesday night.
Phoenixville, the 12th seed, ended its year at 5-17 overall.
Sun Valley (17-6), the fifth seed, will travel to face fourth-seeded Lower Moreland in the quarterfinals Saturday afternoon at 1:30.
Annie Rubino topped the Phantoms with 18 points, including four treys. Aubrey Flagg followed with 15 points and 12 in the first half.
Gia DeAngelo scorched the nets for 30 points for the Vanguards and Shayna Orr dropped home 20 with four treys.
Phoenixville fell behind 21-11 after one period but closed to within 34-31 by halftime. Sun Valley led 47-40 entering the fourth quarter.
The Phantoms fell behind 52-40 at the start of the fourth but pulled to within 52-49 with 3:05 showing. Then they were forced to foul.
'It was a good game, but we couldn't pull it out,' said Rubino. 'As a senior I wanted to put it all out. It has been an honor to play for them.'
The Phantoms were aware of DeAngelo but they could not stop her. She had 14 markers in the opening stanza.
Phoenixville coach Michele Dunleavy talked about the contest.
'Turnovers at the most perfect time for them,' said Dunleavy. 'It was 52-49 and we were right there. We had to get the ball and we're not used to having to get the ball in a do-or-die situation. We are not used to that.'
She thought the Phantoms should have done a better job penetrating Sun Valley's 2-3 zone defense.
The Phantoms played without two starting frontcourt players in Jada Boyce and Gabby Duda due to injuries.

This event takes place on 4th December 2016 from 10:00am to 4:00pm and will take place at Berwick Village Hall, Station Road, Berwick, East Sussex. BN26 6TD. It is a Guild event being organised by Jan Allston, email: Tel: 01323 487411.
Wholecloth Design machine Quilting Workshop
Andrea Ashwell can come back and do an extra workshop on the Wholecloth Design course on the 3rd December. (I have the 4th as a reserve date in case we can't all manage the 3rd). Of course if lots of you would like to do it, then we can offer it on both days as the hall is free at the moment.
If you missed the one on the 27th October, then you missed a real treat and you can take advantage of the extra one in December now. As this is short notice, I can't get it into one of our regional magazines, but please pass on the message to all your quilting friends.
Learn how to mark and then stitch a small wholecloth quilt using your sewing machine (Guild ones for hire at £5 per day). You bring along a top, wadding and backing and Andrea will teach you how to design, mark and then stitch the quilt. You will get a wonderful effect of raised flowers and feathers with quilted surrounds. See Andrea's prize winning quilts on her website!
Places are limited as the hall can only accommodate a small number at a time, so don't delay, book now! I know everyone who came to the last course wants to come back!
Come by train? No problem as we can shuttle you from Berwick station.
Email me to book or pay from this page with PayPal.
As this is quite short notice I would be grateful if you could let me know very soon (within a week please?) as the hall booking is pencilled in at the moment and as soon as I know I can run with this I can confirm with them.

If the Robocall Affair has a silver lining, my hope is that it will trigger an honest conversation about the growing and deeply troubling amorality of politics.
For years, political operatives and practitioners have justified more aggressive and dirty tactics with a shrug of the shoulders: "This is the way the game is played." Tactics replaced substance. Getting elected trumped honesty. Destroying "the enemy" overshadowed substantive debate.
In Canada, cheap politics didn't begin with Stephen Harper's Conservatives -- although they plunged them to new depths. Jean Chretien's Liberals campaigned hard against virtually everything Brian Mulroney's Progressive Conservatives stood for -- free trade, deregulation, privatization, fiscal discipline, and the GST. Once in power, Liberals embraced it all. Chretien's control over his cabinet was as rigid as any prime minister that came before him, and the reach and power of his office was without precedent. Chretien's Liberals stayed in power by keeping the right divided, and cynically playing wedge politics.
Paul Martin ruthlessly campaigned to defeat his boss, and as he worked to achieve his lifelong dream of becoming prime minister, Martin's Liberals trained their guns against themselves.
In government, Liberals demonized and ridiculed Preston Manning, Stockwell Day, and Stephen Harper. Harper's Conservatives took a page from the Chretien-Martin playbook, and have become much more sophisticated and disciplined in the black arts than Liberals ever were.
In a lecture this week at Osgoode Hall, Michael Ignatieff said: "We attempted to deny him (Harper) standing, and now he has taken his revenge. That is where we are."
Indeed we are. Despite his best and most sincere intentions to elevate political discourse in Canada, Michael Ignatieff was sucked into a culture that swallowed him whole. The world of gladiator politics forced him to become a "strange imitation of yourself."
Blind partisanship blurs reality. You are sucked into the vortex where serious and intelligent and reasonable discourse is somehow perceived as a sign of weakness. Winning at all costs and killing "the enemy" are the true measures of political success. The national interest is far down the list.
This selfish coarseness has infected many other aspects of our culture. In a powerful op-ed in the New York Times, Greg Smith, a senior executive at Goldman Sachs, called the environment at the firm "as toxic and destructive as I have ever seen it."
He said that the "interests of the client continue to be sidelined. Leadership used to be about ideas, setting an example and doing the right thing. Today, if you make enough money for the firm you will be promoted into a position of influence."
The same is true of political operatives and their bosses, those elected to represent us. "Integrity? It is eroding," Smith wrote. "Do people push the envelope and pitch lucrative and complicated products to clients even if they are not the simplest investments or the ones most directly aligned with the client's goals? Absolutely. Every day, in fact."
Sounds a lot like modern politics in Canada. The national interest is rarely, if ever, the predominant concern. Political calculations are. There is nothing really new in all of this. But in the last few years the debasement of our politics has intensified and accelerated.
Smith's solution to the problem he sees at Goldman Sachs and throughout Wall Street should also be applied to politicians and their agents. He says: "Weed out the morally bankrupt people, no matter how much money they make for the firm. And get the culture right again, so people want to work here for the right reasons."
Let us hope -- no, demand -- that our parliamentarians start doing what we pay them to do: Put Canada first.

Most tasks you perform on DSCC can be performed using command-line tools. These tools enable you to manage Directory Server directly from the command line, and to manage your server by using scripts.
The main directory server commands are dsadm, dsconf, and dsutil. You can use these commands to perform backups, export to LDIF, manage certificates, manage the administration of users or roles, and so on. For information about these commands, see the dsadm(1M), dsconf(1M), and dsutil(1M) man pages.
The dsconf, dsmig, dsccmon, and dsutil are LDAP based commands so you must specify the user bind DN and password for these commands to authenticate. While the dpadm and dsadm commands operate on the instance files.
This section contains the following information about Directory Server command-line tools:
The Directory Server command-line tools are contained in a default installation directory:
The directory for your installation depends on your operating system. Installation paths for all operating systems are listed in Default Paths and Command Locations.
The dsconf command requires some options that you can preset by using environment variables. If you do not specify an option when using the command, or do not set the environment variable, the default setting is used. You can configure environment variables for the following options:
User bind DN. Environment variable: LDAP_ADMIN_USER. Default: cn=Directory Manager.
Password file for the user bind DN. Environment variable: LDAP_ADMIN_PWF. Default: Prompt for password.
Host name. Environment variable: DIRSERV_HOST. Default: local host.
LDAP port number. Environment variable: DIRSERV_PORT. Default: 389.
Specifies that dsconf should open a clear connection by default. Environment variable: DIRSERV_UNSECURED. If this variable is not set, dsconf opens a secure connection by default.
For more details, see the dsconf(1M) man page.
The following table shows a comparison of the dsadm and dsconf commands.Table 1–1 Comparison of the dsadm and dsconf Commands
dsadm Command
dsconf Command
Administration commands that must be run directly on the local host. For example:
Administration commands that can be run from a remote host. For example:
The server must be stopped (except for the dsadm stop and dsadm info commands).
The server is identified by the server instance path (instance-path).
You must have OS access permissions to the server instance path.
The server must be running.
The server is identified by host name (-h) port (-p) or LDAPS secure port (-P).
If you do not specify a port number, dsconf uses the default port (389 for LDAP).
You must have LDAP access permissions to configuration data, for example, as the user cn=admin,cn=Administrators,cn=config.
For complete information about how to use the dsadm, dsconf, and dsutil commands, see the dsadm(1M), dsconf(1M), and dsutil(1M) man pages.
To obtain a list of subcommands, type the appropriate command:
$ dsadm --help
$ dsconf --help
$ dsutil --help
To obtain information about how to use a subcommand, type the appropriate command:
$ dsadm subcommand --help
$ dsconf subcommand --help
$ dsutil subcommand --help
Many of the dsconf subcommands enable you to view and modify configuration properties.
To list the configuration properties used in Directory Server, type:
$ dsconf help-properties
To find a particular property, search the output of the help properties.
For example, if you are using a UNIX platform and you want to search for all properties relating to referrals, use the following command.
$ dsconf help-properties | grep -i referral SER referral-url rw M LDAP_URL | undefined Referrals returned to clients requesting a DN not stored in this Directory Server (Default: undefined) SUF referral-mode rw disabled|enabled|only-on-write Specifies how referrals are used for requests involving the suffix (Default: disabled) SUF referral-url rw M LDAP_URL | undefined Server(s) to which updates are referred (Default: undefined) SUF repl-rewrite-referrals-enabled rw on|off Specifies whether automatic referrals are overwritten (Default: off)
Note that the properties are grouped by targeted objects, such as suffixes (SUF) and server (SER). The rw keyword indicates that the property is readable and writable. The M keyword indicates that the property is multivalued.
To see the server attribute, use verbose mode. For example, on a UNIX system, type:
$ dsconf help-properties -v | grep -i referral-mode SUF referral-mode rw disabled|enabled|only-on-write nsslapd-state Specifies how referrals are used for requests involving the suffix (Default: disabled)
For more information about individual properties, see the man page for that property. The man pages are in Oracle Fusion Middleware Man Page Reference for Oracle Directory Server Enterprise Edition.
Certain Directory Server properties can take multiple values. The syntax to specify these values is as follows:
$ dsconf set-container-prop -h host -p port container-name \ property:value1 property:value2
For example, to set multiple encryption ciphers for a server, use the following command:
$ dsconf set-server-prop -h host1 -p 1389 ssl-cipher-family:SSL_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_MD5 \ ssl-cipher-family:SSL_DHE_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA
To add a value to a multi-valued property that already contains values, use the following syntax:
$ dsconf set-container-prop -h host -p port container-name property+:value
To remove a value from a multi-valued property that already contains values, use the following syntax:
$ dsconf set-container-prop -h host -p port container-name property-:value
For example, in the scenario described previously, to add the SHA encryption cipher to the list of ciphers, run this command:
$ dsconf set-server-prop -h host1 -p 1389 \ ssl-cipher-family+:TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA
To remove the MD5 cipher from the list, run this command:
$ dsconf set-server-prop -h host1 -p 1389 ssl-cipher-family-:SSL_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_MD5
You must create the following ACIs to work with the dsutil command successfully:
$ldapmodify -h host -p port -D cn=admin,cn=Administrators,cn=config -w - -c dn: cn=config changetype: modify add: aci aci: (targetattr="*")(version 3.0; acl "Allow the Suffix Manager to browse the tree"; \ allow (read,search,compare)userdn = "ldap:///$USERSFXADMIN";) aci: (targetattr="nsslapd-rootpw")\ (version 3.0; acl "Prevent the Suffix Manager from accessing passwords"; \ deny (all)userdn = "ldap:///$USERSFXADMIN";) aci: (targetattr="userPassword")\ (version 3.0; acl "Prevent the Suffix Manager from accessing passwords"; \ deny (all)userdn = "ldap:///$USERSFXADMIN";) aci: (targetattr="dsKeyedPassword")\ (version 3.0; acl "Prevent the Suffix Manager from accessing passwords"; \ deny (all)userdn = "ldap:///$USERSFXADMIN";)
For more information about dsutil command, see dsutil(1M).
The man pages provide descriptions of all commands and attributes used in Directory Server. In addition, the man pages show some useful examples of how to use the commands in deployment.

@newinrobotics So I only need one battery pack (7-23V)? I taught I needed two! One for the Servos(4.8-6V) and one for the board (7-23V)! So I only need to power the board, lets say with a 9V battery and thats all? I can connect the servos to the VCC and they will get enough power?
I can connect it this way? And 9V battery to the barrel Jack connector! And I am good to go?

Elements of bocce play out on many a summer day behind the Columbus Club in Framingham, but Thursday's face-offs were unique as well. At the end of the annual mixed doubles competition, followed by a lunch prepared by the women, "for the first time, we had a playoff'' of men versus women, said Ruthann Tomassini. "And the women won, so were were pretty happy with that.''
Florence Wales uses an underhand shot, followed by some wiggly-fingers mojo if the ball slows too soon.
Jane Roman opts for overhand, bolstered by a rolling-the-dice arm motion to encourage the ball to scoot just a few inches farther down the court.
Wales' teammate Gary Ghilani goes for an overhand shot that starts in a crouch, while his 88-year-old opponent, Gloria Welch, has a deceptively light toss that lands with amazing accuracy.
On the sideline, Bob Phipps is heckling his friends and Bert Fabri stands at the ready with his metal tape measure.

The women's league has been a fixture at the Southside club for a number of years, but when Framingham native Welch was growing up, "it was a men's game,'' she said.
"I remember the men playing at picnics. It was fun watching them,'' said Welch, whose maiden name is Barbadora.
Like Welch, bocce's roots are Italian. The game played on a dirt court may look something akin to bowling at first glance, but rather than going after pins, players try to get their team's balls closest to a pallino, a smaller ball tossed somewhere past center court, with strategies similar to shuffleboard or marbles skills.
The women at the Columbus Club traditionally play to 11 points, while the men traditionally play to 16. At Thursday's event, when the first match played to 16 took lasted more than an hour, they decided the women's game length might work better the next go-round.
"Rules change, depending on where you are,'' said Fabri, a Framingham resident who immigrated from Italy as a young man in 1956, and played bocce on the beach back in his homeland.
Fabri, who also plays at the indoor court at Italian-American Veterans Post 40 in Milford, familiarly known as the ITAM, hopes to get a more regional league going for the game that's equal measures of competition and conversation.
"All the guys I play with, I went to high school with,'' said Phipps who, like longtime pal Ghilani, is from Ashland.
"I have fun with the guys. I like to blow my horn here,'' he said of his needling those on the court, such as telling a bald pal, "Don't let your hair get in your eyes,'' when he went to shoot.
If there's any way to contest which team's colors are closest to the pallino, "everyone looks at the balls, then they have a screaming match, then they measure,'' Phipps said.
But the beauty of the game is "anybody can do it,'' he said.
As for the underhand most use versus the overhand technique some say is more classically Sicilian, "it doesn't matter how you throw the ball,'' said Vincent Renzoni of Framingham. "You just have to (be able to) adjust your speed.''
"It's a funny game,'' said Dottie Delarda. "Some days you're good. Some days you're aaah,'' the player from Southborough said as she made a face.
Win or lose, "it's a lot of fun,'' said Delarda.
But, for the women of the Columbus Club, Thursday's competition had a particularly sweet ending.
"At the end of the day, the bragging rights went to the women,'' Tomassini said.
And perhaps a little crow was added to the menu for the guys.

This time around it's a theme around comic character. "Nobiko" reminds me of why Leo Ku faded from the music scene a few years back. Despite his nice voice, some of the songs are just simply bland. The first plug song in the album is track 1 "Nobiko", nice acoustic song that may have gotten more attention because of its title. The producers were thoughtful enough to have the original Cantonese voice of "Doraemon" to produce a Happy Ending version (track 10) but the dialogue was rather dumb. The other 2 plug songs are track 2 "Love and trust" and track 4 "Hurt chases people". Quite frankly they are quite similar, ballads with a so-so first verse and all focus on the chorus. Other songs in the album might be attractive if you are a fan of that comic/cartoon character. But the songs itself, I wasn't too impressed, especially the lyrics. Track 9 is "I'm a cat", which is the theme song for the Garfield movie, but how come the lyrics doesn't have any reference to lasagna? Lyric-wise, it's just a poor effort from Lam Chik. Rating: 7/10 Recommendations: Track 1 "Nobiko" Track 4 "Hurt chase people" Track 5 "Touch" Back to top ContraiFanJoined: 08 Oct 2003Posts: 57Location: greifswald, germany Posted: Tue Sep 28, 2004 2:11 am Post subject: I like at most 2 songs by Leo Koo, and that's really less. I mean, i like 10 songs even by Ekin Cheng for example, see the difference.

TPF expects grantees to report at least once each month. If you are a grantee, please, easy the task of your grant manager sharing news with him. If you are a grant manager and your grantee does not report for a long time, please poke him.
For this last month updates are:
- Perl Survey
KD has been following all the perl marketing stuff on the intertubes with great interest, and archiving discussions for further examination/analysis. He's also found a number of other open source questionnaires from which to borrow. He's gotten the DNS and hosting sorted for http://survey.perlfoundation.org
Late next week: begin designing survey. Plan to pilot to invited audience in early september. Take pilot and begin running full survey in late september (optimum time to run a survey in the northern hemisphere).
- Archive::Zip
Alan was the happy recipient of a "send someone to YAPC" endowment and is spending some time taking in all the cool stuff he learned about at YAPC. He will be back to work on Zip on Monday.
- Pod Munging
Ricardo has been mostly scribbling diagrams and notes in his pocket notebook, but is also working to compile simple next steps so he can show continuous progress in code. The next next steps are listed (with a summary of his notes) here: http://rjbs.manxome.org/rubric/entry/1792 More code should be forthcoming soon.
- Mojo Documentation
Sebastian has some trouble lately writing about Mojolicious, the learning curve was simply too steep, so it took too much time for the reader to gain a sense of achievement.
But there was a simple solution to this, he just added a second micro framework called Mojolicious::Lite to guarantee a fun learning process to the reader.
He also written and already published a small tutorial to try it, and the success has been amazing. :) http://labs.kraih.com/blog/2009/07/perl-is-awesome.html
- Perl 6 Web.pm
As always - you can get the latest progress on the GitHub project http://github.com/masak/web and their blog posts:
- Week 11 of Web.pm -- Hitomi does templating (http://use.perl.org/~masak/journal/39351)
- Week 12 of Web.pm -- a spec and smartlinks (http://use.perl.org/~masak/journal/39392)
- Week 13 of Web.pm -- abstracting away the webserver, live! (http://use.perl.org/~masak/journal/39475 )

Merry and Bright
From Sequined Dresses to Shoes à la Dorothy, How to Outshine the Christmas Tree
I blame Jenna Lyons entirely for the sparkle and sequin trend. The president of J.Crew was never one to shy away from something a little twinkly, attaching it to all and sundry when she launched the brand's reinvention as the affordable American must-have.
It was prescient, because no sooner had J.Crew begun selling sparkly sweaters and T-shirts (around 2008) than the economy leapt off a cliff, and we needed all the upbeat distractions we could find.
What Lyons had done was to artfully spin the intricate bejeweled detailing of evening wear into something more everyday and user-friendly. Thanks to J.Crew, the wearing of sequins and sparkles became acceptable at any time of the day. Nowhere was this more apparent than when Michelle Obama wore a glittery, cream J.Crew cardigan to visit the Browns at 10 Downing St. during the Obamas' state visit to the U.K. in 2009. If the wife of the leader of the free world can wear sparkle to work, then arguably the rest of us can, too.
That said, I'm not much of a fan of everyday sparkle—even though my latest purchase is a sparkly navy-blue Bella Freud sweater. Clothing, like fragrance, plays an essential role in mood, perspective and attitude. If I wrote this column in an evening gown or, conversely, wore a light, frothy citrus fragrance to a heavyweight dinner, I would feel distinctly out of sorts. But then, maybe that's just me.
The shiny trend was probably born of tribes people attaching gold and, eventually, coins to their clothing to illustrate their wealth and status. In fact, the word sequin comes from the Arabic dar al sikka, which means mint. And it seems that this idea still holds true.
I do have a certain admiration for women who appear at parties in expensive sequined or shiny dresses, tops or pantsuits. Why? Well, shelling out for a sparkly number indicates a serious level of commitment to the event. One couldn't possibly wear the sort of extravagant outfit I'm talking about in the same company on more than one occasion. And how does one know whether the ensemble in question is expensive? If you have to ask, you have obviously never seen one.
The best this season includes the Stella McCartney metallic dress (£775), Bottega Veneta's sequin dress (£1,362), the Just Cavalli gold brocade pants (£250) and jacket (£450), and Louis Vuitton's jeweled waistcoat (£2,530).
You may, of course, feel that you simply want to dabble with the spangle trend. And, frankly, I don't blame you. Something small and sparkly will lighten your mood and lift your outfit without you feeling as though you are making the big statement. In which case, try Anthropologie's "Strewn Variegations" jacket (£138), H&M 's glittery envelope bag (£7.99), Zara's jeweled box clutch (£49.99) or Velvet's "Eve" sequin pencil skirt (£145).
You know a trend is well established—and some might even say on a downward curve—when it reaches the shoes. And this Christmas, if you are going to do sparkle, you may as well wear it on your feet, à la Dorothy.
I generally think sparkle works best on flat summer sandals, but in the spirit of the general fashion mood for mixing metaphors and media, I'm going to say to hell with it. Wear your sparklers with pride and, preferably, with something very restrained—black pants and a black cashmere sweater, or blue jeans and a simple tailored jacket. And if you have sparkly shoes on your feet, you are on no account to have anything else shiny about your person—and I'm including your jewelry here.
For boots, try Miu Miu's glitter-finish Chelsea boots (£495), Kurt Geiger's metallic "Slate" biker boots (£250) or Dr. Martens's "Dorsey" Boot (£225). For a dressier option, consider Anya Hindmarch's "Scrooge" ballerinas (£295), Jimmy Choo's "Victoria" (£375) or Zara's mirrored court shoe (£69.99).
My final plea on sparkle is that you regard it very much as you would the decorations for Christmas or any other holiday celebration. That is, once it is over, you take it down (or off) and store it safely away until the same time next year, when you can once again take it out, flaunt it and admire your exceedingly good taste.

A few months ago I experimented with an online timeline application called xtimeline that I used to create a timeline for Dr N B Kennedy's Civil War service. It created a pretty good timeline, nothing fancy, though.
Yesterday I read about another timeline application, timetoast. It is also free, so I signed up for an account. This evening, I created a very simple timeline depicting the life of my Mom, just to see how timetoast worked. I am impressed!
About Timetoast
Timetoast allows people to create interactive timelines, which they can share anywhere on the web. Anyone can join Timetoast and start creating and sharing their own timelines, all they need is a valid email address. It's completely free!
Timetoast was created with Adobe Flash, Adobe Flex and Ruby on Rails; without them this website probably wouldn't exist. We also used some of the delightfully tasty icons provided by Sweetie and FamFamFam.
This will make a very handy addition to my genealogical toolbox!

Am I alone in saying that I love to watch the Disney TV movies? Lemonade Mouth is on right now and the girls have been in bed for about 30 minutes but I can't turn it off….and I will probably be singing "Determinate" for the next week. I don't remember movies like this when I was a Tween….maybe the ABC After School specials, but they didn't have the music and dancing that these movies have. They're just fun is all. Camp Rock, Teen Beach Movie, High School Musical….
Anywhooo…lets move on to cookies, shall we?
Don't let the electric blue buttercream frosting fool you. These sugar cookies need no frosting or icing. They are melt in your mouth delicious and my favorite sugar cookies I have ever made. You will love them, too!
Now don't get me wrong. There is nothing wrong with adding electric blue buttercream frosting to these, but they just taste so good on their own. Taylor was adamant about frosting cookies bright blue so we did!

Encaustic paints have recently achieved popularity as an alternative to oil and acrylic paints. A very spontaneous and versatile medium, encaustics can be modeled, layered, sculpted, textured, and combined with collage materials. No drying time required.
Color Swatches created using varied application and were applied on primed hardboard material.
organic, quinacridone
quinacridone pyrrolidine
PR206 offers a deep maroon or bordeaux red. Quinacridone pigments have relatively low tinting strength in general. For this reason, quinacridone colors are often expensive, because more pigment is required in the formulation.
Quinacridone pigments have excellent lightfastness.
Quinacridone Pyrrolidine Red has no known acute hazards. Overexposure to quinacridone pigments may cause skin irritation. Quinicridone pigments contain a compound found to be a skin, eye, and respiratory irritant.
It was developed as a maroon or bordeaux red for automotive paints.
Monastral Maroon
titanium dioxide
Titanium White is the most brilliant of the white pigments. It is considered an all purpose oil color useful in all techniques and the best all around white. Its masstone is neither warm nor cool, placing it somewhere between Lead White and Zinc White. It is less prone to cracking and yellowing than Lead White, but it still yellows easily. Titanium White dries slowly in oil form, more slowly than Lead White but more quickly than Zinc White. It is opaque in oil and acrylic forms and semi-opaque in watercolor form. This pigment has good chemical stability, and its tinting strength is superior to both Lead White and Zinc White.
Titanium White has excellent permanence and lightfastness.
Titanium dioxide is highly stable and is regarded as completely non-toxic. Animal studies give no indiciation that it is absorbed biologically, even after long periods of exposure. The primary safety concern is with inhalation of fine pigment dust particles. Titanium White, if inhaled in large amounts over the course of several years, may cause a benign pneumoconiosis that is visible on x-rays. The National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) considers fine titanium dioxide particles, if inhaled, to be a human carcinogen. The primary concern for artists is to avoid exposure to fine particulate dust from raw pigments.
Titanium is the ninth most abundant element in the Earth's crust, however mineral deposits that are economical to mine are less common. Titanium dioxide was first discovered in 1821, although it could not be mass produced until 1919. Widespread use of the pigment began in the 1940s. Since that time, it has become the most commonly used white pigment. The name comes from the Latin word Titan, the name for the elder brother of Kronos and ancestor of the Titans, and from the Greek word tito, meaning day or sun.
zinc sulfide
Zinc Sulphide White is a semi-transparent yellowish white pigment. Zinc sulfide and zinc oxide (PW4) are often combined to create a more natural white color. Transparency increases as particle size decreases. When slight impurities are added, zinc sulphide has phospherescent and electroluminescent properties. It is often used to manufacture fluorescent or glow-in-the-dark paints.
Zinc Sulphide White has excellent permanence and lightfastness.
Zinc Sulphide is non-toxic, but ore deposits often contain lead. Traces of lead and other impurities may be present in pigment powders. Ingestion is not recommended.
Zinc sulfide, when combined with slight impurites, has phospherescent properties. It is often used for "invisible ink" that glows with exposure to ultraviolet light. Zinc sulfide is used in the manufacture of fluorescent paints.

I'm collecting potential album covers for Owen's future career as a
genre-bending recording artist.
First, he'll start with a teen-heartthrob album, just to get on the map.
But his sophomore album, an alt-country/bluegrass EP with loads of guest artists will prove he's no one-trick-pony.
The post-punk album will be next, a bit of anti-establishment, protest rage.
Then he'll bust out the long-awaited hip-hop album.
And, of course, a collection of holiday songs. One the whole family can enjoy.

DETROIT >> Worst-case scenario is having your starter begin a game in rainy conditions, then having to go to the bullpen early after a delay.
Only slightly better than that is feeling confident in your starter's ability to return after the rain delay, only to have him get jumped.
Baltimore's Miguel Gonzalez lasted just three batters after Friday's game resumed from a 34-minute delay, as the Tigers more than doubled their lead en route to a 10-4 win, continuing as the last remaining unbeaten in Major League Baseball.
The Tigers have started 3-0 six times in the last 31 years: 1984, 1985, 2004, 2006, 2012 and now this year.
In his first outing facing big-league hitters since March 12, Anibal Sanchez threw 69 pitches through four innings, and did not return after the rain delay — although manager Brad Ausmus considered it.
"It was really a matter of how long he was down," Ausmus said. "Going into the restart of the game, he was going to pitch, but the bottom of the inning was so long ... we just decided he'd been off the mound for too long a period of time."
Drew Smyly tossed three scoreless innings in relief, earning the win.
Sanchez got off to a shaky start, needing 26 pitches to get through the two-run first, both runs plating on a double by Chris Davis into the right-field corner, before settling down.
"He was a little bit up, but he hasn't pitched in a while. He's been on a little bit of a break. I thought he threw the ball well," catcher Alex Avila said. "I like these games a lot better than the last few games we had. It's a little bit easier on me."
Gonzalez was more wild, plunking two in the span of three batters in the second, then uncorking a run-scoring wild pitch that gave the Tigers the lead. That was after allowing two doubles to start the inning, and Ian Kinsler's RBI single in between the two plunkings.
"Absolutely (hitting is contagious). When you see your teammates up there getting theirs, you want to go up there and get yours," said Nick Castellanos, who got his first extra-base hit and first RBI in the rally. "It feels good to get it out of the way. It also feels good because it got us on the board."
After a 34-minute rain delay in the fourth inning, Rajai Davis welcomed Gonzalez back to the mound with a three-run home run, Davis' first hit of the season. Torii Hunter got his first hit of the season two batters later, jacking a home run over the bullpen hut in left field for a 7-2 lead.
"That first knock is just a good one, but for it to be a bomb just makes it that much better," said Davis, who didn't have much time to think about it. "I don't even remember what I did. All I remember is having to rush, because I'm up in about five minutes, get down there and just be ready to hit. ... I think it did (help). I think there was really no thinking going on. Just going out there and just reacting."
The Tigers tacked another run on in the sixth, on Miguel Cabrera's third single of the game, leaving him just one shy of 2,000 career hits. He capped his four-for-five day with a home run to reach the milestone.
"I've only been here a short period of time, and I'm already running out of words to describe him," Ausmus said.
Joba Chamberlain gave up two runs in his Detroit debut in the ninth.

A cosmic mystery around the star named 49 CETI has puzzled astronomers nearly two decades, but it may finally be solved. At 40 million years old, the star is quite ancient, and yet it's surrounded by a tremendous amount of gas — a signature feature of young stars that usually fades within 10 million years, scientist say.
So what keeps 49 CETI looking young? A new study suggests that a prolific number of comet collisions are rejuvenating the star's fresh appearance. So many comet collisions, in fact, that the crashes have occurred every six seconds for the past 10 million years.
A team of astronomers reports that gas surrounding 49 CETI can be explained by a massive disk-shaped region around star that is similar to our solar system's Kuiper Belt. The belt around 49 CETI is 4,000 times more massive than our solar system's Kuiper Belt, which lies beyond the orbit of Neptune, and is packed with more objects constantly crashing into each other.
"Imagine so many trillions of comets, each the size of the UCLA campus — approximately 1 mile in diameter — orbiting around 49 CETI and bashing into one another," study researcher Benjamin Zuckerman, a UCLA professor of physics and astronomy, said in a statement. "These young comets likely contain more carbon monoxide than typical comets in our solar system. When they collide, the carbon monoxide escapes as a gas."
Zuckerman and his colleagues calculated that these comets crash into each other around 49 CETI about every six seconds. What's more, they estimate this has been going on for a long time.
"I was absolutely amazed when we calculated this rapid rate," Zuckerman. "I would not have dreamt it in a million years. We think these collisions have been occurring for 10 million years or so."

Teen's space mission fueled by social media
Science editor Alan Boyle's blog: "Astronaut Abby" is at the controls of a social-media machine that is launching the 15-year-old from Minnesota to Kazakhstan this month for the liftoff of the International Space Station's next crew.

Zuckerman and his colleagues had discovered the gas that orbits 49 CETI back in 1995 using a radio telescope in the Sierra Nevada Mountains of southern Spain and had been trying to explain its origins ever since. The group says they only know of one other old star that's surrounded by so much gas, but it's considerably younger than 49 CETI at 30 million years old.
The new research was detailed in the Sept. 27 edition of the Astrophysical Journal.

Airbnb has gathered a bunch of tech reporters to Dogpatch Studios, an arts space in a postindustrial part of San Francisco, to unveil a new product: Airbnb Neighborhoods.
"We have a challenge," says Brian Chesky, CEO of the online lodging marketplace. For visitors, location is the most important criterion, he explains. But Airbnb's current service overwhelms them with choices. London, for example, has nearly 14,000 places to stay.
The guide rates neighborhoods on the quality of restaurants, ease of transportation, and other factors.
The company interviewed hosts and guests, and even flew teams of neighborhood experts from locations like Rio de Janeiro to Airbnb headquarters to develop the content.
Airbnb, which already spends considerable sums on professional photography of its hosts' houses and apartments, took 40,000 neighborhood photos of the cities where it operates, a product manager said.
Airbnb is also designating coffee shops in neighborhoods as "Airbnb Local Lounges," where they can pick up printed guides to the neighorhood. It's a pilot project currently limited to San Francisco.
Both efforts suggest Airbnb is trying to strengthen ties to local businesses.
These moves obviously puts Airbnb in competition—or makes it less dependent on—sources like Yelp and Google's Zagat for information about local businesses near where their guests stay.

My library is thinking about recharging stations for mobile devices. So I'm looking into outlets with USB slots, special stands, etc.
How come? Because customers want to recharge. If you walk around our library, you'll notice we have a lot of lamps by comfy chairs. Guess what? Those lamps, for the most part, will be unplugged. Because people are recharging their devices. So – we'll probably be doing something to address that.
That also made me think – why shouldn't the library be the community's recharging station? For more than just mobile devices? What would we need to become the community's recharging station?
Here are some ideas:
- Lots of outlets
- Lots of USB plugins
- Comfortable chairs that can be moved around
- Electric car charging stations
- Lots of windows in the building
- Offer video games for more than just teens
- Make the library a fun place instead of a quiet place
- Offer classes related to recharging/de-stressing
- Be positive. At the desk, in signage, in instructions.
- Focus on do, not on don't. Yes rather than no.
- Help customers make things
- If someone's sleeping in the library … maybe don't kick them out.
- Offer exercise classes. You have the books and the videos … why not the actual class?
And of course, have lots of good books 🙂
Thoughts? Comments? Do you think of your library as the community's recharging station? If so, why? If not, why? I'd love to hear from you!

By Russ Lande
I cannot speak to how every team's meetings or draft rooms function, but the ones I have been a part (the Rams and Browns) have provided some of the funniest -- and scariest moments -- in my scouting life. Below are some anecdotes from those experiences (well, at least the ones I can share without getting into too much trouble).
One year, there was a fullback that I had scouted at a Midwestern school to whom I had given a late round grade. I felt that he had the inside running ability, receiving skills, special teams production and other qualities worth taking a flyer on. However, during the pre-combine draft meetings, no matter how hard I fought to have this player kept on the board, I could not get it done -- the player was 5-foot-8 and nobody wanted a fullback that short. Then came the pro day circuit, before the final draft meetings in April. Amazingly, while none of the scouts had been there to fight for this fullback since our last meetings, he was now in play because he ran one of the fastest times for any running back at the combine. Although I was happy to see him on the board, it made me question if the team really knew what they were doing. Player should not move up the ranks so quickly just because they ran a great forty at the combine.
Another year, on draft day, my team's second round target was one pick away, so we called the player up -- but then things took a strange turn. Our head coach asked the scouts if we were sure about the pick. One veteran scout, who in my eyes is an outstanding evaluator, showed courage and said there was a player he would take over him. Thus, without any further debate, we told the player on the phone we were not selecting him, and instead selected the other guy our veteran scout wanted. We were fortunate when our pick came up in the third round that the player we had been on the phone with was still available and we ended up selecting him, but this raised a major concern. Why did we spend so much time meeting and setting our draft board when one scout could overrule the rest just like that? Unfortunately, although both players played in the league long enough to get their pensions, neither developed into a frontline NFL starter.
Perhaps the scariest thing I ever experienced in draft meetings involved a player who nobody on my team particularly liked. Our area scout gave this safety a free agent grade and, when I cross-checked that school, I did the same. Then three members of our defensive coaching staff said they had only watched the first half of one game and had turned it off at that point because the player was so bad. But after the safety's pro day, these same staff members said they were confident he may have been second best safety in the draft. As a result, we ended up placing him above Bob Sanders on our draft board. Fortunately for us, someone else drafted him (and he never turned into a quality starter), but it once again showed how dangerous it is to evaluate so differently from how a player works out in shorts and a t-shirt to his actual production on the field.
Another time, the area scout I was working with gave a college running back a free agent grade, which was seconded by others on our team. However, the man in charge of scouting at the time brought up that this player had been an outstanding high school athlete and had been recruited by some of the premier programs in the nation; he thought he was clearly more gifted than many of the backs in the draft. All of a sudden, this player was rated as a second/third round pick on our draft board. We didn't end up drafting him, which was a stroke of luck -- he never amounted to the talent that the head scout saw.
I am always amazed when I look back and see how many players are selected due to odd circumstances or hunched or faulty logic. The next year, I'll reveal more tales from my experiences in the NFL, so keep checking in.

CAIRO, Oct. 17 (UPI) -- Egypt has been rounding up Syrian refugees, detaining them and in some cases returning them to Syria, Amnesty International charged Thursday.
The group released a short report, "'We cannot live here any more': Refugees from Syria in Egypt," and called on the Egyptian government to start aiding those fleeing the civil war in Syria.
"Instead of offering vital help and support to refugees from Syria the Egyptian authorities are arresting and deporting them, flouting human rights standards. Most refugees lost their homes and livelihoods when they fled Syria. Failing to help and protect them is a stain on the reputation of Egypt and could seriously damage its image as a key stakeholder in the region," said Sherif Elsayed Ali, Amnesty's director of refugee and migrants' rights.
The United Nations estimates about 2 million Syrians have fled the country, most of them to Turkey, Jordan and other neighbors. More than 4 million have been forced out of their homes but are still in Syria.
The U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights reports that Egypt has arrested 964 people trying to reach Europe by boat, with its navy intercepting 13 vessels, Amnesty International said.
Amnesty investigators who made an unannounced visit to a police station in Alexandria found 40 Syrian detainees, 10 of them children, the report said.

The Tuck's Gramophone Record Postcard and its relation to the Durium acetate
Tuck made post cards in a period that it was very popular to send this kind of messages. Isn't it cute I found an old post card in my archive, sent to my grand mother, from the Marble Arch in London, which happened to be a Tuck's Post Card. It's a pity that the stamp ( or other marks to date the card) have disappeared, but a small search on internet learned me that the photo itself must have been made early 1900s. ( First issue 1906).
Tuck used its photos several times and sometimes even inserted extra items, like cars or pedestrians to update the photo ( like this 1918 version). I told about some rumours that Tuck and Durium had to do with each other. Not so strange as it seems, as I found out that the material of the Tuck Record ( the actual record) seems to be from the same material as the "Durium" record.
In 1929 Tuck started to produce Gramophone Record Post Cards. It was made by Worldecho and this small short-lived record company has been suggested as a company that used a kind of Durium-like acetate to cover its (thick) cardboard records. In a previous blog about the 80th birthday of the Durium record I posted some information about this obscure record label: Durium Records 80 years old (1930 - 2010)
It is said that the Durium acetate was developed in Europe during the First World War, to protect aeroplane noses agains dust, heat, cold and moist and it seems that after the war new uses were found - I saw once advertisements for rain coats and garden furniture made of Durium. During the 1920s it seems that the durium acetate was used to make unbreakable gramophone records like Worldecho - a rather stiff cardboard layer with a durium surface, produced in England. These records were produced for only six months and then it was withdraw from the market, as the records easily split into two halves if you dropped it.
The Tuck's Gramophone Record I got in my collection is catalogued as series D no. 14 and its matrix number is P 58 - It belongs to one of the first series as it was first mentioned in a september 1929 magazine entitled Musical Opinion and Music Trades, which reads in its regular column: Messrs. Raphael Tuck are responsible for an amusing and interesting innovation in the shape of gramophone record picture postcards. Measuring 3-inch, these discs play for one minute and cost 3d each. Several series are already available, and I have heard admirable demonstrations of "Auld Lang Syne", "Ye Banks and Braes", "Annie Laurie", "Bonnie Banks of Loch Lomond". Besides these songs there are orchestral records and cornet and saxophone solos. One immediate result of these postcards has been the installation of portable gramophones in the smaller stations to demonstrate them!
Mine is one of those "cornet solos" and I played in once at my 1930s portable Columbia gramophone. Its sound is rather low-fi and it plays for almost one minute.
I found a copy of the original post card, entitled Watching for Father, a painting of the Scottish artist Scott Rankin, who was active in Scotland as a painter late nineteen century.
If you compare the reverse sites of both cards ( without and with the record at the front) you'll learn that the blue lettering was printed later and features information about the record itself - the red/brown print learns more about the original Oilette Post Card no. 3368 which must have been dead stock from the 1910s or later.
The Tuck's Gramophone Record Post card - one of those ephemeral hypes from 1930.

hey i figured out how to fix the sound on my Hp laptop using Ubuntu..
go to http://e-nabet.blogspot.com/2009/09/sound-for-pavilion-dv4-in-ubuntu.htmli have it posted there ..
it did worked for me.. hope it does for all
You can try upgrading alsa with this script:
That scritp and adding this line in the alsa-base file worked for me :
options snd-hda-intel enable_msi=1.
The fingerprint reader is not working do.
Anybody had succedded?
I've tried almost all of those suggestions and my sound card still not working!!!!
I have a DV4-1000.
Did you install the following package on your laptop ?
Ok, so I'm sorry, but I'm afraid that I can't help more. I just installed this package from backports, and then used the table at bottom of this page : http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/audio_intel_hda in order to find which line I should add in my alsa-base config file, depending of the chipset of my sound card.
Then the sound worked good for me.
Hi " guillaume " I am thinking about getting a hp dv4 1100 also, tried the live CD in shop and got that stuttered/echo sound problem also. Have you fixed it yet - how? If not does this fix work
Please let me know if anything crops up. Thank you:
Hi Patrick,
Adding this line in the alsa-base file worked for me :
options snd-hda-intel enable_msi=1.
I also installed a package containing backport kernel modules (I don't remember the exact name right now), but I don't really know if that was necessary, because I added this line in the same time.
Now I'm still having this noisy fan that starts regularly, but I didn't find any way to control the fans on this laptop yet. lm-sensors find no fan on the computer. Actually when the laptop start, I have 10 minutes without any noise, but then when the processor temperature reaches 50°C, the fan starts, and stops at 38°C, and starts again at 50°C, … (even when I doing nothing else than basic work (web, mail, ooo, …) It is a normal behavious, but the fan is really noisy, and it would be great if I could find a tool to control the temperature at which the fan must start.
Bill : unfortunately your script wasn't helpfull, but thanks for the response ! It somehow gave me some search lines while reading it :)
Hi again,
Here is the web page I used to make my audio ICH9 work (sorry, it's in french, but with a little google translation it should be comprehensible) :
Have a nice evening,
Thanks very much guillaume for the information regarding the sound, can i just confirm we are talking about the same model, namely this one
Did your mic/headphone work fine too? Lastly how bad is the fan ( is there a diff in vista/ubuntu )? my own dv2278ea fan goes on a fair bit - does your fan noise disrupt from watching a video or working?
It's not quite the same laptop, but I think audio and fan will be the same.
Mine is here : http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01666617&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=uk&product=3872633
Headphones works fine, for the mic I haven't checked yet. The webcam worked without any problem with ubuntu right after installation.
While watching video the fan is not that disrupting, but for me while working it's really a bit noisy. The fan is not that loud, but I really was used to a very silent Dell laptop, so I'm a bit disapointed. Furthermore by default the fan is set as "always running" in the bios, so the first time you start the laptop you hear it well.
For the difference between Vista and Ubuntu, I can't really say, because I used Vista approximately the time to download and burn ubuntu :) But I remember that I heard the fan under Vista as well.
Hope this helps,
I installed Ubuntu on my new dv4-1100 yesterday, and I have the same problem : Some strange sound comes out from my speakers, but no correct sound.
I'm encoutering another problem with the fan, which is noisy.
Oherwise every other hardware works good.
Yet I'm still looking for a solution to thoses problems, but if I manage to solve them I'll say that the dv4 is a great laptop.
Have you tried the Audio Tester? May like to give it a go.
I have same problem like Yamu, but when I using Fedora everything work fine!!! thanks to Fedora Linux.
I installed kubuntu on my dv 4 and while I was able to connect to the internet, I had problems configuring the sound card. Even after a few fixes, I get a strange noise from my speakers but no sound! Apart from that the 64 bit version of kubuntu has problems with flash…I installed flash but it keeps stopping after a few minutes of playback.
