Kinky-Curly Knot Today
Kinky-Curly Knot Today Reviews
So I brought this because everyone was talking about it so I decided to get it. I'm so glad that I did. This stuff is amazing! My curly hair is dry and this stuff really helps to put the moisture back into my hair. It has amazing slip and it does a great job of detangling my hair. I just wish it wasn't so expensive. I don't use it everyday because like someone else said, I'm cheap as well. — 3 years, 2 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 2 of 2 people said helpful
Smells Great, Detangles Better
I love love love this product. it's all natural so that's a big plus in my book. It's a lightweight product but it's thick and moisturizing. It offers a lot of slip and makes detangling my type 4 hair a lot easier. It's not the perfect product for me but it certainly gets the job done and I love how my hair looks with this product after I'm done detangling (it helps with definition too but I don't...read more know that's the purpose). I love using this as a leave in when I wear an afro ponytail, my coils pop. I'm frequently asked what I use for curl definition and this is it. I'm a big fan. — 3 years, 6 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful
I by 1 even when I'm not even halfway through the previous bottle. I think I have about 6 empty ones and some more I have given to my mom younger sister and aunt. I actually have get more. It does everything! Moisturize, detangle, IT SMELLS AMAZING! I put some in a spray bottle with water as a curl refresher THIS STUFF JUST DOESN'T QUIT and I love it. I just wish it came in a bigger bottle plus I'm addicted to this stuff but I'm also cheap! — 3 years, 9 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Using OpenFlow to extend software-defined networking (SDN) to the optical layer is a compelling prospect for enterprises seeking to achieve joint orchestration of information technology (IT) and network resources for cloud services, to virtualize the network and to more simply manage interconnections of distributed data centers that require synchronization.
Today's fragmented, specialized management and control approaches are fraught with proprietary protocols and management systems, limited scalability and configuration complexities. With an OpenFlow-enabled transport network, an enterprise could instead engage in a kind of "one-stop shopping" for control of cloud computing, storage and networking resources - all via one, unified application programming interface (API). The benefits could include significantly simplified configuration, management and scaling of large-scale enterprise infrastructures through integration and automation.
That's a new role for OpenFlow, demanding strategic tailoring of the protocol for the optical transport domain. Demonstration and development of the capability are closely watched by enterprises that are under incessant pressure to cost-effectively meet ever-increasing demand for bandwidth and services.
Virtualization's New Frontier
Servers and storage have been virtualized in the enterprise; the next great frontier for virtualization is the network.
Because of the substantial cost savings and performance benefits that it can deliver, SDN-based virtualization is of prime interest to enterprises for a wide range of applications. OpenFlow has emerged as one of the most popular SDN protocols. Web 2.0 network operators and national research and education network (NREN) operators, especially, like OpenFlow.
With OpenFlow, an abstraction of the network's packet switches can be generated and flow-forwarding behavior can be specified across an infrastructure via an external controller. Operations can be substantially automated and streamlined by breaking up the monolithically integrated control and forwarding paradigm of today's switches.
Using OpenFlow, could SDN be extended across layers and create a scenario in which - with a single instruction - the controller could jointly create virtual machines and enable enterprise network administrators to reserve computing, networking and storage resources in one stroke?
It is an obviously compelling notion for enterprise network staffs who desperately need to simplify operations. However, the problem is OpenFlow deployment and development has largely been limited to the electrical packet layer, whereas the interconnection beyond the data center is typically comprised of optical transport technology. Furthermore, the optical domain is where things get hazy for many enterprise network administrators. Their comfort zone tends to be packets - not wavelengths and optics.
The result is that cloud computing is currently decoupled from the transport networking control and operation. The network exists as a static, separated entity in today's cloud implementations. There is no interaction between cloud computing processes and the statically configured network. The two are not in any way interoperable; they speak different languages.
Converging cloud computing and networking requires a more dynamic mode of control and operation, but enterprises largely have judged integrating management of the optical network into the data-center environment to be too complex.
To extend OpenFlow from its established role in the electrical packet domain to the optical layer (and, thereby, extend SDN across multiple network layers), a range of optical-specific concerns must be tackled.
Crafting and Experimenting
Within the European Commission's FP7 ICT Work Programme is a collaborative project, "OpenFlow in Europe - Linking Infrastructure and Applications" (OFELIA), that provides researchers with a test bed in which to experiment with SDN applications and virtual multi-layer networks over shared network infrastructure.
Via standardized, secure interfaces through GÉANT, a high-bandwidth interconnection of European R&E networks, researchers develop, run and control experiments using packet switches and application servers at the University of Essex and seven other test-bed facilities throughout Europe.
OFELIA hosts a prototype implementation of dynamic control of wavelength-switched optical networks via OpenFlow. Bandwidth, latency and power consumption can be adjusted to meet the specific requirements of specific applications.
To make it happen, key OpenFlow additions had to be engineered in order for the protocol to effectively control the optical domain. Optical-specific considerations were required to adapt OpenFlow from the packet world. A packet can travel from any ingress to any egress port in an electrical switch or from any time slot in a time-division multiplexing (TDM) device. The optical domain, however, introduces strict switching constraints, with regard to wavelength continuity, optical impairments, optical power leveling on the line side, etc.
Augmenting OpenFlow to address those optical-specific concerns has resulted in an OFELIA prototype that demonstrates a truly transparent, wavelength-switched optical network. The research community is able to experiment with the capability via a flexible, Web-services approach; commercial enterprises, too, are interested in trialing the capability for their specific applications and environments.
OpenFlow is not sufficient in itself to enable the complete transformation that enterprise network administrators envision, to SDN-enable virtualization across all layers of their infrastructures. The additions to OpenFlow that were engineered for the OFELIA test bed provide only the bridge between the optical layer and packet layer and allow integration into a cloud operating system such as OpenStack.
But that is one very important bridge, and the promise for enterprise network administrators is considerable. The OpenFlow innovation could seamlessly integrate the optical transport network under a common management umbrella with an enterprise's routers and switches - all via one familiar interface. Management of the optical domain could become as simple as the management of Ethernet boxes - using an encapsulation of virtual resources that enterprise network administrators could manage via typical and familiar infrastructure. That's a significant breakthrough. With many enterprises already considering usage of an OpenFlow-based control for their packet networks, extending the framework to the wavelength-switched optical layer would be a natural migration.
Virtualization has developed over phases in enterprise networking. First, resource virtualization inside data centers delivered economic savings through enhanced utilization, scalability and redundancy. Data-center virtualization conveyed greater infrastructure flexibility, higher availability and better workload balancing. The next frontier, network virtualization, promises true platform agility and, with it, a host of long-sought-after enterprise capabilities: capacity on-demand, adaptive infrastructure and dynamic service automation, among them. Adapting OpenFlow and extending SDN to the optical transport domain comprise an important step toward that vision.

Gunslingers and Percentile Throws
Boot Hill was TSR's wilden west skirmish/role-playing game. Back when we were kids my crew played a few shoot-outs with it, at least before we discovered BattleTech. One of the neat touches in the rulebook is that each gun has a listed year it first becomes available. For a long time I wanted to put together random starting weapon charts sorted by the year the gunfight was taking place, mainly for two-bit NPCs. A few months ago I did just that, but only this morning did it occur to me that someone else might be interested in my charts. I don't know how many people play Boot Hill nowadays, but I went ahead and typed my charts up. They're now uploaded onto scribd.

Eggman Movers
this wiki
- "Moving the most Coast to Coast."
- —Eggman Movers' motto
Eggman Movers is a moving company, which appears in Toy Story and briefly in Toy Story 2, that helps move all the contents of Andy's house to their new house. Their moving van is an orange and white truck with their company logo and slogan "Moving the most Coast to Coast" on their trailer.
Toy Story
- "Woody, it's the moving van!"
- —Buzz Lightyear, as he sees the moving truck through the window of Sid's house
Although Woody tries to plan ahead once the Davis' move is announced, with precautions such as moving buddies, Woody and Buzz Lightyear managed to get lost in the process and end up at Sid's house.
While trapped at Sid's house, they know that they must hurry up when they see the moving van outside of Andy's house. Although Sid plans to blow up Buzz, Woody acts fast to save him with the held of Sid's toys and scares Sid in the process. Woody and Buzz don't have time to celebrate, because they hear the Davis' getting ready to leave.
Woody runs out to Andy's car, but Buzz is stuck because of Sid's rocket. Woody goes back to help him out, but loses Andy's van in the process. After nearly getting hit by a truck, they see that it's the moving van, and begin to give chase, being eyed by Scud closely. Buzz quickly climbs a strap hanging off the back of the truck, but Woody hesitates, but eventually grabs ahold. Just as he's about to pull himself up, Scud runs up and tries to pull Woody down with his teeth. As Woody is about to get pulled off, Buzz then jumps onto Scud to distract him, which then gives Woody the opportunity to climb onto the truck.
Woody opens the door, and finds the boxes that hold Andy's toys, sending out RC to retrieve Buzz. The other toys see this, and think that Woody is trying to get rid of another toy that Andy might like more than him like he did with Buzz. While Woody finds Buzz with RC and begins to steer them back, the other toys seek to get rid of Woody, who is trying to tell them that it's to save Buzz. While initially spinning him and jumping on him (which causes RC to do the same), they eventually throw him out the back of the truck.
Woody is soon picked up by RC, who is still speeding forward with Buzz. Soon, Lenny notices them with his binocular eyes. And the other toys are so stricken with guilt that they didn't believe Woody, that they want to help them. Rocky lowers the ramp, while Slinky instructs the toys to hold his tail while his upper half jumps down to pull them up. RC's batteries begin to die, which slowly stretches Slinky out so much that he is sent flying back into the van.
Woody and Buzz are sent to a complete stop once the batteries are dead, but Buzz suggests lighting the rocket on his back. This sends them flying forward, and Woody drops RC in the moving van before they take off into the sky. Before they explode, Buzz deploys his wings to detach the rocket, and they are then flying. They glide directly over the moving van, but Buzz instead drops them through the sunroof in Andy's van.
Toy Story 2
- Buzz: "No! And did he [Woody] give up when you threw him out of the back of that moving van?"
Mr. Potato Head: "Oh, you had to bring that up."
Buzz: "No, he didn't!" - —Buzz scolds the toys, especially Mr. Potato Head, for requesting a rest
In the sequel, while Buzz leads his rescue squad of toys on a mission to save Woody from Al McWhiggin, Buzz reprimands the toys for requesting a rest at one point, even going as far as bringing up the subject of the moving truck, especially the time when Mr. Potato Head has had Woody thrown out of the truck, and an ashamed Mr. Potato Head is still shown to be regretting this greatly, even though amends have already been made.
The following day, the moving truck is later seen just before Buzz and the toys cross the street to Al's Toy Barn.
The truck, without the trailer, can be briefly seen while the toys are chasing Al to the airport in the Pizza Planet Truck.
- The company is named after art director Ralph Eggleston. Eggleston's login at Pixar was, in fact, "The Eggman".
- A common misconception is that it is named after the Sonic the Hedgehog villain, Dr. Eggman. The character was not known by this name in English-speaking regions until 1999. At the time the film was released, he was known as Dr. Robotnik.
- An Eggman Movers box is seen in Sid's room in a corner.
- MLY1K9 ("Molly, one canine"), the license plate on the truck, is a reference to a resident sheepdog at Pixar.
- The Eggman Movers logo is seen in WALL•E.
- The semi pulling the moving van is based on a Peterbilt 352 yet the front fender is based on a Kenworth K100.

Feb-15-2013 23:46TweetFollow @OregonNews Salem Concert Band with Hanz Araki and Kathryn Claire to celebrate St Patrick's DaySalem-News.comTickets are $15, $20 reserved mezzanine, $5 for students.
(SALEM) - The Salem Concert Band with guest soloists Hanz Araki and Kathryn Claire will perform a Celtic Celebration on St Patrick's Day, March 17, 3 pm, at the Historic Elsinore Theatre. Portland-based performers Hanz Araki and Kathryn Claire, who have been working together since 2008 and have released four CDs on their label Celtic Conspiracy, will be the featured soloists in an all-celtic program. Conductor John Skelton will lead the symphonic concert band in a selecion of Irish and Celtic suites and other works based on traditional celtic themes. This will be the third time the for the band to present an all-celtic program at the Historic Elsinore Theatre. Kathryn Claire and Hanz Araki have toured extesively throughout the USA, Canada, and Japan and have received many enthusiastic reviews. They released four celtic themed albums in 2012: "As I Roved Out: Songs of Spring," "Songs of Love and Murder," "The Emigrant's Song & the Laborer's Lament," " and "A Winter Solstice Celebration." Hanz Araki and Kathryn Claire were named "Best Vocal/Instrumental Group of the Year" from LiveIreland. Irish flute player Hanz Araki is the quintessential world music musician. After six generations, the name Araki is synonymous with the Japanese shakuhachi (an end-blown bamboo flute) which Hanz mastered making his professional debut in 1988. After four years of concert appearances and teaching at the prestigious Keio University in Tokyo, Japan, Hanz returned to his hometown of Seattle, WA and found himself drawn to the world of Celtic music. The penny-whistle and the Irish flute became his single-minded focus, and jigs and reels became a second language. His unique style and passion were soon recognized and met with high praise. Hanz also discovered his voice was well-suited to the songs of Scotland, Ireland, and England and is highly regarded for his interpretation of folk songs in what is one of the most exciting living traditions. After several tours across the US, Canada, and the UK (first with the Juno Award winning Paperboys, then Casey Neill) as well as a return to Japan, now as a well-respected Irish flute-player, Hanz moved to Portland, OR in 2006. This move proved to be most fortuitous as it led to the musical partnership with Oregon-native Kathryn Claire. A self-taught guitarist and accomplished vocalist and fiddle-player, Kathryn has asserted herself in a new generation of traditionally-inspired musicians. Early classical training gave her a strong foundation, but naturally gave way to her own creative inclinations. Her violin-playing exhibits a technical grace which is matched only by her truly captivating voice. While she possesses the rare ability to move seamlessly across genres, her love and deep respect for traditional music has long been a driving influence, and those roots can be heard in her own original music, as well as her own distinctive take on folk-songs. Kathryn and Hanz quickly discovered a shared love of harmony—and a well-matched work ethic—and a creative process began that has produced a tremendous body of work. Their shared passion for traditional music is magnetic and they have become a favorite at music festivals and venues in the US and abroad. Tickets are $15, $20 reserved mezzanine, $5 for students. Tickets may be purchased on the Salem Concert Band website: www.scb.org, at the Historic Elsinore Theatre box office (170 High St. SE, 503-375-3574), and from Tickets West at their outlets and online (1-800-992-8499).

It was on August 2, 1914 that Germany sent their first demand to Belgium that they should be allowed to march through Belgium unopposed to attack the French. On August 3 the Belgian government sent a message in reply to Germany. The Germans had tried to justify their plan to invade Belgium by saying that France was about to do the same but the Belgian government replied that they had no information of this and that if France tried to violate Belgian neutrality we would defend ourselves and fight the French just as we would fight the Germans for violating Belgian territory. The government reminded the Germans of the promises they had made in international agreements to respect the neutrality and territorial integrity of Belgium and how faithful Belgium had always been to honoring international agreements. They said that to accept the German demands would be to dishonor the Belgian nation and betray their duty to the whole of Europe. It would make Belgium an accomplice in the crime of Germany's invasion of France. On the next day, August 4, King Albert I spoke to the Belgian parliament in one of the great stirring speeches of history. The King said that the whole country hoped for peace, "But if our hopes are betrayed, if we are forced to resist the invasion of our soil, and to defend our threatened homes, this duty, however hard it may be, will find us armed and resolved upon the greatest sacrifices."
This was the first great trial that Belgium had faced since independence. The country had put too much trust in international agreements and was not well prepared for war and Belgium was facing the most powerful and heavily armed military force in the world. In spite of the many difficulties, the people stood together as one to resist and to defend independence and the national integrity. When the Germans invaded Belgium they were going to be very surprised because they had expected that Belgium would not resist at all or could be easily swept aside with no difficulty. When the Belgian soldiers of 1914 held the forts, when they struck at the invaders, when they destroyed the bridges and fought constant rear-guard actions, the Germans became furious. Their timetable was thrown off, the first problem in their grand strategy for defeating France. The fierce Belgian resistance slowed the Germans down and then the British army at Mons slowed them down again and by the time they were approaching Paris the French were ready and the German plan was defeated. I have such great admiration for the awesome courage of the Belgian forces who stood directly in the path of the Imperial German war machine and stood their ground and fought them every step of the way. They were a small army but very huge heroes!

A. If you will go to my blog Xtremehorticulture of the Desert and in the search engine type "recommended fruit trees" you will see my recommended fruit tree list posted twice; once as a downloadable pdf document and the other posted in its entirety.
This past year the only nursery to carry my recommended fruit trees was Plant World Nursery on Charleston Blvd. Any of their fruit trees with a hanger or tag from Dave Wilson Nursery, a large commercial grower of fruit trees, is from my list. A local producer sold my recommended fruit trees to the public as bareroot trees but will not be doing that this fall. Anyone want to take it on? Contact me.
The idea of high density planting is not mine but adapted from Dave Wilson Nursery out of the Modesto, California area.You can find more information on concept of multiple trees planted in a single hole at davewilsonnursery.com, along with a lot of great information on growing fruit trees.
I produced some YouTube videos on growing fruit trees which can be found by typing "UNCE orchard" at the YouTube video website, another resource. Here is a sample on controlling the size of fruit trees.
Green manure crops are plants that can be started from seed which will either capture low amounts of nitrogen that exist in the soil or capture nitrogen from the air and return it to the soil. They also decompose and add organic matter.
I have mixed feelings about using green manure crops in the desert. Although they are tremendously beneficial to our soils and highly advantageous in most areas of the country, they may or may not make sense when using them in the desert depending on your situation.
The principle reason is water use.
Seed can be very expensive so look for inexpensive seed locally that you can use rather than to have it shipped in from some other location in the country. This also helps to lower your carbon expenditures for your small farm or garden.
Legumes harvest nitrogen from the air primarily and are not that terribly good at taking residual nitrogen from the soil. But they are an excellent choice for poor soils if you can get the seed inexpensively.
Annual grasses are wonderful at finding nitrogen in the soil that vegetable crops miss and they take this nitrogen and bioaccumulate it or, in other words, put it into its own plant tissue. The grass is watered and allowed to get about 6 to 10 inches tall and then turned into the soil just before it produces a seedhead. This nitrogen in the plant tissue is then slowly released as the rye plant decomposes in the soil.
However, using a green manure crop in a mixed planting where you are combining an orchard with chickens or other fowl makes a lot of sense provided these animals do not ruin in your production. I could see how you might be able to have a small orchard and, using the existing water required to irrigate your fruit trees, grow some green manure crops for soil improvement and that would also double as food for your fowl.
Keep your costs low by growing winter and summer green manure crops from seed that are inexpensive and that will do well in our climate. Some manure crops for our area might include annual ryegreass, timothy, wheat, oats, alfalfa, peas and Kentucky 31 tall fescue. But if you use tall fescue be sure to turn it into the soil while it is still young.
Just about any inexpensive seed will work if you know the germination temperature of the seed. Don't use bermudagrass. Recommended green manure crops from other climates may or may not work well here and it may be difficult to find inexpensive seed.

A small eruption might be underway at Satsuma-Iojima, part of the Kikae caldera, off the southern coast of Kyushu in Japan. The island volcano was reported to have a thin plume that reached 8 km (27,000 feet)*, but beyond this, details are scant. The Japanese Meteorological Agency raised the alert status at Satsuma-Iojima to Level 2, which means to not approach the crater. I took a look at today's Aqua and Terra images and sure enough, the Aqua/MODIS images, you can see a thin plume drifting off to the west (see below) — nothing too impressive, but still, clear signs of new activity at Satsuma-Iojima.
The last eruption from the Kikae caldera area was back in 2004, when it produced a similar small plume. Between 2000-2004, the volcano produced a few VEI 2 eruptions, mainly from a rhyolite dome at Tokara-Iwo-jima (another name for Satsuma-Iojima; see above). There is evidence that pyroclastic flows from Kikai travelled 100 km over the ocean to reach the southern shores of Kyushu — and that would require a large eruption, such as the VEI 7 eruption that occurred in ~4350 B.C.E. This eruption from Kikai likely caused significant changes in vegetation on Kyushu after wiping out whole forests on the nearby island.
* I tend to take VAAC plume heights, especially in cases without a lot of direct observations, with a grain of salt.

Watch from an angle
The Trial of Ubu, Hampstead Theatre, LondonSimplicity of premise provides the beauty of Simon Stephens' The Trial of Ubu, but it also proves the biggest constraint. There's great satirical potential in wrenching Alfred Jarry's overblown despot Pa Ubu back into the real world to face the consequences of his grotesque actions in an ICC-style trial. The purity of the central concept is such, however, that with only a basic understanding of the original, one can grasp Stephens' overarching ambition from brochure copy alone. The risk is one of triteness.
Nevertheless, those who avoid the Hampstead on that basis will miss the craft with which the subject's surrounding intricacies are explored in Katie Mitchell's production. Admittedly, The Trial of Ubu has less to chew on than the superior Wastwater, which gave chase to a greasier pig, but there is nonetheless an awful lot to keep one's mind occupied, both during and after proceedings, if you let it.
For starters, following a Punch and Judy-style synopsis of Jarry's original, Mitchell presents the trial not as is, but at one remove, through two interpreters, who translate and repeat the words spoken inside the courtroom itself.
There will be those who cry tedium; that the commentary box has nothing on the match itself. They are wrong. This is a chance to engross oneself in the minute details that would otherwise go unseen. By refracting rather than simply representing the trial, Mitchell better reveals its component parts. Her production sees clearer precisely because it does not look directly at the sun. So dazzlingly grotesque is Pa Ubu that his presence would outshine any nuanced reflection.
Certainly, the text is delivered with all the tonal variation of Morse code. Reported back, it is stripped of emotion and, to a certain extent, intention. Punctuation becomes garbled, replaced with a steady, but stuttering, flow of words; pauses are scrapped as they struggle to keep pace; language warps. But do we not learn more from a fingerprint than from the lines on a palm, even though the contours offer less contrast?
Rather than the performative behaviour of a trial, in which everyone is aware of being watched, Mitchell can present genuine – often involuntary – reaction. Words send shivers and draw gasps, but can't be fully digested or registered, such is the speed of their task. While Nikki Amuka-Bird's interpreter is ever professional, getting the job done with a stony-faced, machinated aloofness, Kate Duchêne is entirely human. She fits with giggles, wells up with tears and succumbs to a cold. In the contrast – both sides of which are familiar responses – lies the production's heart.
As such, The Trial of Ubu is not so much about the nature of such regimes themselves – though, of course, it can't completely sidestep that subject, no matter how broadly Stephens treats it. Rather, it concerns the impossibility of a proper, fitting and just response in the aftermath. How, Stephens and Mitchell combine to ask, can we possibly begin to assign responsibility, let alone conduct a fair trial, given the enormity of expectation, of prejudice (in the strictest sense of the word) and of suffering? How, in other words, can we humanly respond to the categorically inhumane?
Paul McCleary's Pa Ubu is both intensely human and, at the same time, not at all. He is a frail old man, whose jailor must help him smoke, let alone stand, so the maximum security that surrounds him seems ludicrous. 'Is the architecture all for me,' he asks the Judge. Nevertheless, made up with the same soaked clown face as Heath Ledger's Joker, Ubu becomes cartoon villain. Certainly, he's tried as such; as a scapegoat, the very opposite of a puppet leader. 'J'accuse,' the witnesses cry, shifting the blame from their own shoulders. 'He told me to.' 'He said I'd be killed.' In punishing him, they absolve themselves of any responsibility. Ubu is their Get Out of Jail Free card.
Interspersed with scenes outside the courtroom – Ubu in his cell, two lawyers in conversation over a cigarette – The Trial of Ubu becomes a fascinating indictment of the international justice system. The neatly packaged narrative belies a web of responsibility and reduces complexities into grim folklore – which perhaps explains the filmic quality of Lizzie Clachan's individual box sets. Its central case is no less vengeful than the stringing up of Benito Mussolini or the uncivilised disposal of Muammar Gaddafi. If it lacks the horror of such hellish ends, Ubu's trial is instead purgatorial: 'I think I'm losing track of time a little bit,' he says to the judge. For all its criticism, The Trial of Ubu isn't so perverse as to entirely undermine the system, and endless assessment comes to seem a fitting piece.
Mitchell's production is characteristically well-drilled and precise, but the masterstroke is to re-invent Stephens' play for the nuances around its edges than its straightforward centre. As such, The Trial of Ubu needs to be watched from an angle, with a willingness to make connections and grapple, rather than head-on, waiting for answers to be dished out.

What has been the response to the Linux Today editorial?
Author | Content |
pben Jun 08, 2004 9:50 AM EDT |
I am wondering what has been the feedback on the Linux Today Microsoft ads editorial? I have been visiting that site a lot less since I found out about LXer on The Linux Show broadcast. I usually just find it amusing that Microsoft is paying a Linux site, but I trust all ads and politicians a lot less than I used to, lied to one too may times I guess. |
dave Jun 08, 2004 10:48 AM EDT |
The feedback is mixed. Some people absolutely hated me after the editorial. Although I tried to maintain a level-headed tone and just state the simple facts of it, I think the subject matter itself might have been best served being brought up by someone else (rather than me). A lot of folks didn't know about the ads, and it's good that they know now. Some expressed concern over it, and others were perfectly comfortable with it. I've say it was 50/50 all around. If I had to do it over again, I wouldn't have posted the story. Dave |
cjcox Jun 08, 2004 11:08 AM EDT |
Yes... I told Dave I never saw them.. I use privoxy! (proxy with configurable ad blocking... well.. it's just a configurable proxy!) So there is at least one person who will never see the ad regardless of how much money Microsoft spends. |
Vision Jun 08, 2004 11:42 AM EDT |
I, for one, am glad you posted the message Dave. I had previously been using NewsForge and really only looked at Linux Today as it tied into my Evolution Summary page, and had never been to LXer, however now am an avid reader and keep checking it every few hours. Had you not posted the article there, It would have taken me that much longer to find this wonderful site. Thanks. |
golem Jun 08, 2004 2:55 PM EDT |
I did see the ads -- three of them simultaneously at one point -- and thought them highly inappropriate. I wondered who was asleep at the switch. I'm glad Dave spoke up. If he hadn't, someone would have. |
sbergman27 Jun 08, 2004 5:03 PM EDT |
I'm glad you posted the story, Dave. I use privoxy and normally do not see ads. But I was aware of them and had not spoken out against the policy. I assumed that LT did not have control of the ad stream and would have to give up all the ad revenue to get rid of the FUD ads. I've learned since that they probably have finer control than that. There is no excuse for a Linux site to knowingly present misleading ads either for or against Linux, no matter who sponsors them. I would not personally take money to make false statements about Linux and I certainly don't approve of a website which does so. |

Is there a legal issue here? I mean freedom of speech and all. If I accept money from one advertiser for a space, can I reject another? Perhaps this opens a very large can of worms?? |
Koriel Jun 09, 2004 5:22 AM EDT |
Freedom is eaxctly that the ability to pick and choose your preferred advertisers, certainly can't be construed as a legal problem in the UK at least. They are allowed to produce their adverts, that does not mean i am forced to carry them. Have to agree with Dave that the adverts were inappropriate for the site content. A Linux geared site should carry adverts geared to their majority audience not to who gives them the most money. Of course i much prefer a site that has no ads at all. My tuppence worth |

Another FWIW - I saw the ads, thought it odd, but it was your post that clued me to the change in ownership and the existence of lxer - which I now use INSTEAD of LT. Cheers. |

It's pretty simple:
If you hadn't posted your story people wouldn't have known about your LXer site.
If you hadn't posted your story - some people would remain complacent.
The site now offers Microsoft Webcast and Windows XP Tablet PC adds. Any strong action you do will (mostly) incur a strong reaction, specially in TechieLand. I think it was proper you brought the notice. |

You did well in posting the message Dave! I knew your site thanks to it. Personaly, I don't care about who the publicity on the site is from! But it was becoming quite bothering of having a 3rd of the browser window full with it :-( So, please... keep your site simple :-) |
northcarolinian Jun 16, 2004 11:53 AM EDT |
Dave, why the slam against Linux Today and not Linux.com? Both accept M$ ads, yet you continue to link to Newsforge/linux.com, which is now one site. |
dave Jun 16, 2004 11:57 AM EDT |
I've never considered OSDN to be a part of the Linux community. Not to say they aren't, but they are not on my radar in this regard. dave |
northcarolinian Jun 16, 2004 5:20 PM EDT |
Linux.com and Slashdot are not part of the Linux community but internet.com, with its multiple Windows sites, is? Sounds like you're going through contortions to rationalize your attack. |
dave Jun 16, 2004 6:16 PM EDT |
northcarolinian, I'm not trying to rationalize anything at all, certainly not my editorial. Read above: I already said that if I could go back in time, I wouldn't have posted it. That's not what someone says when they're trying to rationalize something. :-) Dave |

Void, Thank you very much for reporting this advertisement to me! As you can imagine, I am sensitive to this, and I keep a close eye on the advertisements that Google syndicates on our website. This particular one has escaped my attention. Now that it has been brought to my attention, I, unlike my competitors, have moved immediately to block this url from my ad filters. Thanks again, and I assure you that no more ads from Microsoft.com will appear on my site again (unless Google breaks and does it in spite of my blocking it). If you find any others like that, please don't hesitate to let me know, so I can block them also. dave |

You're welcome, and heartful thanks for reporting it. If you see anything else (pro-SCO, pro-Microsoft, or anti-Linux, etc) please do report it! I'm happy to lose their revenue rather than send my readers to them. dave |
northcarolinian Jun 17, 2004 11:47 AM EDT |
"I'm happy to lose their revenue rather than send my readers to them." But you lose no revenue by the ad simply appearing; you lose revenue if a reader does not click through on the ad. (You're mischaracterizing how Google works, and it makes your stand sound a whole lot noble than it really is.) Isn't it a little condescending to not give your reader that choice? I mean, if one of your readers is interested enough to click through (and I agree that it's highly unlikely), aren't you also assuming that they're too dumb to reject the M$ message? Open source doesn't need paternal protectionism like this, Dave. Trust your readers. |
dave Jun 17, 2004 12:03 PM EDT |
I won't be party to Microsoft publishing anti-Linux propaganda. As a Linux-related news website, I don't think that would make good business sense, in the long-term. By taking that ad down, I am losing any revenue that would have been generated by people clicking on that ad. I find it ironic that, if I hadn't taken the ad down, I would only have gotten paid if people actually clicked on the ad. Thus, I would have only been paid in the event that MS successfully got the attention of a person. Gag. dave |

> I won't be party to Microsoft publishing anti-Linux propaganda. < I assume you mean that you won't be party to Microsoft advertising their anti-Linux propaganda; you surely are not suggesting that free speech (even commercial speech) be curtailed because you disagree with it. OK, I can see not running the ads from Google. Personally, I think it's cuttting off your nose to spite your face, but it's your face, and I think it may give you an undeserved reputation as a zealot. And I think you're going to limit your audience far more than you realize; it seems to me that most Linux users are a lot more pragmatic than you give them credit for. Even Nick Petreley, who foams at the mouth at the mention of M$, says that the call of a boycott was silly and he would happily take M$'s money. |

I too had been disgusted by the anti-Linux adverts appearing on Linux websites. LinuxPlanet.com was particularly bad - having read your editorial however I have boycotted Linux Today. But more on the basis that you founded the site originally, and are requesting a boycott of it. |
northcarolinian Jun 18, 2004 10:37 AM EDT |

tbogart Jun 21, 2004 6:16 PM EDT |
Well, I hesitate to stretch this discussion out - but there are limitations to this 'freedom'. Just as 'plug in your favorite minority here' can't be forced to sit in the back of the bus, or prevented from voting, or being denied service at a lunch counter, racial/religous bias can't be used as a reason for not doing business with someone. Not doing business with an entity that is on the losing end of so many lawsuits and the first entity in umpteen years to be found in violation of anit-trust law is pretty clearly (to me, anyway) with the rules. We live under the rule of law, such as it is, not pure anarchy. Cheers. |

lol, that's great,.. I think Granbo is a couple cards short of a full deck if u know what I mean.. I'm glad it's a story about that instead of a sad story about a senior getting scammed for tons of money though.. Yes, she was quick with that knife, I bet Gramps taught her some moves.

Really lucky. But I can't help but smile. Has an attitude like my grandma did. Tough as nails, and don't take no crap off nobody. My little 4 foot 10 grandma was tougher by far than some grown men I've met. And coulda whupped half of 'em!
Its just that when they get past a certain age, people need to realize that no matter how tough or spry the mind is, the aging body can be quickly overcome by an able-bodied, much younger foe....glad she's okay. And hope the swindler soiled himself..... |

I'm surprised Granny didn't get arrested. Locks the poor little tyke in her house and won't allow him to leave (kidnapping), even though she hadn't been physically threatened, pulls a weapon on him (aggravated assault), said weapon being an unlawfully possessed switchblade (evil assault knife).
Hopefully the little -CENSORED--CENSORED--CENSORED--CENSORED- learned a lesson. Got to admire the old lady's sand, but I worry about these kinds of stories encouraging elderly folks to get physical with low lifes and end up getting badly hurt themselves. Those faced with a serious threat should be encouraged to employ more effective equalizers. |

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2017
Norlin Early OriginsThe surname Norlin was first found in various places throughout Sweden as the name is derived from the Old Norse word for north. The name was originally a topographic name adopted by someone who lived to the north of a main settlement. When surnames finally became mandatory in Sweden in the 19th century, Norlin, or one of the many compound names created from it were often adopted ornamentally, that is, the bearers did not necessarily have any association with the meaning of the name. These compound names used such suffixes as "dahl" (valley), "stedt" (homestead), "ström" (river), and others. Norlin Spelling VariationsNorlin Spelling Variations Spelling variations of this family name include: Nord, Nordh, Noren, Norden, Norin, Nordin, Norell, Nordell, Norlin, Nordling, Norelius, Norberg, Nordberg, Norrby, Nordahl, Norqvist, Nordström and many more.

Cheap and decent seats. Thanks
$7.50 to get you in the door and into a balcony seat.
Am i seeing things?
What is wrong with you San Antone resident?
there are plenty still at ticketmaster. but often you can cheaper on stubhub.
does anyone know why, like a few days ago, there were very few (none in lower levels) seats together available, but now i look and it seems like more have been released. why/how does this happen? does it happen every game?
It happens becasue most of the time ALL the tickets are not released on the date of sale/presale. Lots of times a good portion of the tickets are witheld and later dropped, the percentage of witheld tickets ( well the decision of how big of a chunk) is in the hands of the promoters of events. The reasons why they do it are debatable, the results are not.
This this rather stupid system they (ticketmaster, livenation)have in place mostly benefits brokers, who have bots/drop checkers which constantly try pulling tickets for hot events. So what is on paper a helpful tool for fans who drop by the ticketmaster event page in the last few days before the event searching for tickets because they missed the date of the onsale, turns out to be a excellent tool for brokers who just pick up any profitable seats on this kind of drops. Stupid system
When ur buying tickets allways go first to stubhub or ticket nation, or even the ticket exchange ( on ticketmaster.com at event site). The season holders can sell their seats with there with no commission i think, so prices are cheaper, whereas on sh they have to pay 15 percent for commission (unless they have 250k quarter revenue, which is rare) and its 8 percent commission on TN.
Ticket exchange prices have always been ridiculously high every time I've checked. Stubhub is the better option.
Keepin' it real ... it's more than a name ... it's a way of life.
Ye on average they are, casue you have people patroling and grabbing good deals fast. Doesnt mean u cant find a good deal there as well though. Doesnt hurt to check
thnx for all the info Ink. got any more tips and advice, please pass it on.
Ive mainly use stubhub, but found seatgeek.com to be a good tool to find the best deal. Its almost like kayak.com, but for event tickets.
Thinking the same thing. I'd be at every game if I lived in SA.
Stubhub is pretty good, today I bOught my first tickets from there for Tuesdays game... 12$ for each ticket...not bad
<< retired this avatar after 5 years on may 14 2014
Balcony level is for the proletariat...
Ticket exchange (ticketmaster STH resale) takes 10% from the STH and then I believe charges an additional 12% to the customer... they take a HUGE commission.
crazy -$12 for a second round playoff game
Ah my bad on that then. But saying its a HUGE commission compared to to SH isnt exactly accurate as well, since u have 15% on seller and 10% on buyer charges there.

Kôrtirion was the principal city of Tol Eressëa.
The city is located on a great hill at the very center of the island in the province/region of Alalminórë, the 'Land of Elms'. The Cottage of Lost Play is located somewhere outside of the city.[1]
The city was probably built after the Teleri were already well established on the island and familiar with it, and it is possibly that they received some help from the Ñoldor as they were great builders.[2]
The name possibly means something like 'Great Watch-tower hill', 'Watch-tower hill', or 'mighty tower, a city on a hill'. Sources compiled from examples at: [3][4][5]
Kôrtirion was not described or mentioned in The Silmarillion. It was only documented in The Book of Lost Tales, Part one and mapped out by Karen Wynn Fonstad in her atlas of Middle-earth. It was also mentioned in both the poem and song: Kortirion among the Trees and Kôr.[6]

I don't think I've ever neglected my blog for so long but I'm back now. I had a few days away demonstrating and then caught a horrible cold which developed into a never ending cough. I'm still coughing but starting to feel slightly more human.
I'm giving the bear a rest due to having 'bear overload' painting for four long days while demonstrating at the NEC.
This is mixed media on brown pastelmat, probably one of the largest paintings I've attempted as it will end up about 28 x 20 inches.
The fox cub is a mixture of soft pastels and pastel pencils and the leaves are watercolour. I'll add the detail to the leaves in pastel later.

In The Middle
January is a good month to get back on track .. and review the previous year's spending habits.
We are ever grateful to have an emergency fund and didn't have to charge for this repair! Our home had a plumbing fiasco that lasted nearly three full days ... WITHOUT WATER! All I can say is, 'thank the Lord that we have 18 inches of snow on our property! What started out to be a simple 'fix' .. by adding a whole house water filter to help reduce the high mineral content of our well water, turned out not so quick .. and a BIG FIX. We had so much mineral buildup on plumbing connections that the shutoff valves in the basement failed. Leaving us to dig and tap our way through snow, under cover of starlight, in a vague area, we tried to locate the main shut off meter some 200 feet from our home. Not fun! Hubby was on bucket patrol while the plumber and I dug. Thank goodness the ground was well insulated from the snow and not frozen. We finally found the meter and shut off the water. No flooding inside .. a good thing. (Note to self and hubby .. have meter well flagged for winter.)
Day one without water .. was OK. We had stores of gallon and five gallon jugs of water that got used sparingly.
Day two ... still OK .. but now I thought I'd try my Big Berkey water filter with melted and filtered snow that had been treated with the recommended drops of bleach. We just got it for Christmas for such emergencies as this ... followed all the directions .. except we hadn't tried the test adding red food coloring to see if the filters are really working. We had initially primed the unit when we got it (by soaking the filters in water for a specified time) and began using tap water .. Hum .. well .. before I want to drink minimally treated melted snow water, I thought we'd better do the food coloring test. And it failed! So .. we were without drinking water. (BTW .. we have new filters in route). We had about 5 gallons of drinking water left by day two .. after using much of it to flush toilets once in a while. By afternoon .. I was melting snow in my canning pots on the wood stove AND kitchen stove. This water was used for bathing, washing hair, boiled to wash dishes, flushing toilets .. everything but drinking.
Day three .. water was not restored until midnight or later. What a glorious sound .. the rushing of gurgling water recharging the pipes. Melting snow throughout the day for dishes, etc. by now was getting old .. but it worked out fine. Our main emergency 'hole' was not having the Berkey water filter up and running ... AND not having some paper plates .. dishes piled up quickly .. I'm not a big paper user .. but for emergencies, I think it's a good thing to have.
By the end of this trial, I had a greater respect for the Neanderthals and how they survived in cave dwellings .. hunting .. gathering .. all without the aid of crippling modern conveniences. We are such a weak people in all reality .. even with our modern ways.
We are ordering a VERY LARGE water storage tank for the garage.

OMGosh, Cathy! You have had quite a time! You could have called me. If there is a silver lining, it's probably a good thing you had a trial run with the water filter. Neanderthals only lived to be 25!
- Diane said...
I so agree, we are weak. My bio sisters and I often speak of how Momma and Daddy were weaker than our grandparents and how we are weaker than our parents. By the time these little ones grow up, I'm not sure they'll be able to handle a one day discomfort, much less a three day life changing situation. This I say as I sit in my very well-heated and water-supplied home with a natural gas powered generator that keeps me up and running for as long as necessary. (Note the sarcasm!) You, my friend, are a true pioneer woman and I admire you!
- Corner Gardener Sue said...
Oh, my! What a deal! I'm glad you have that fixed, and you have running water.
We have some repairs around the house that we need to hire someone to fix. I am wondering how extensive some of those fixes are going to be, and how much they are going to cost. - 7:24 PM

Mr. can be lucky he married a true pioneer woman. You did fine.
Water shortage and water leaks make me go bananas and call upon every possible
official helper, even the fire department.
(Oh, yeah, been there, done that. Gunnar handled it pretty well.)
In our little family shed in the mountain we always malt snow for drinking water, also for tea and coffee. I never even thought of measuring anything.
This summer we were warned against hare pestilence, and didn't drink unfiltered water.
We have tap water filter in our kitchen, mostly because the municipality of Haugesund has such dirty old main water pipelines.They also add chlorine to the water.
We change filter once a year and yeaks...,it is really full.
Water and heating, how vital they are.
Glad you survived the drama.
- FlowerLady Lorraine said...
What a job and experience, especially n the middle of winter. It's good that you two work so well together.
Enjoy having running water once again.
FlowerLady - 3:10 AM
- Jada's Gigi said...
What an adventure! Don't know what we would do in such a circumstance...probably buy it by the gallon!
- Star said...
Oh my! your disaster sounds worse than mine. Is that your house? It's beautiful...!
I hope that's the last of disasters for this winter Mrs. Mac.
Our builders came today and replaced the flooring in the kitchen. They're coming back on Friday to put the new linoleum down, then I should be back to normal. - 11:01 AM

Canada Short Track Benefiting From MIS
With many facility enhancements occurring at Michigan International Speedway for the 2008 season, a Canadian short track is taking advantage of having a major NASCAR-sanctioned speedway in their region doing upgrades.
Varney International Speedway, a ¼-mile paved oval located an hour from Toronto in southwestern Ontario, is purchasing the old MIS scoreboards that were located in Turns 1 and 4 and will use them at their facility for the 2008 season and beyond. The scoreboards, which were purchased at a nominal cost, will be a tremendous help to the popular short track in Canada.
The scoreboards became available because MIS is installing a new, state-of-the-art, 130-foot, three-sided LED leaderboard. The scoreboard, higher than the scoring tower above the grandstands, will replace all three scoreboards at MIS, two in the turns and one in the center and will be visible from all grandstand seats, as well as several of the infield camping sites. The leaderboard will set a new industry standard for scoreboards across any sporting venue, Michigan International Speedway President Roger Curtis says.
"Varney International Speedway should really benefit from these scoreboards," Curtis said. "When they contacted us about purchasing our old boards, we were glad to see that someone else could use them. We support our local short tracks throughout Michigan, Ohio, Indiana and Canada and applaud their efforts. Without their grassroots initiatives, the sport wouldn't be where it is today."
Representatives from the recently renamed Varney International Speedway visited MIS in late February to assist in the process of taking down the old scoreboards in turns 1 and 4. The scoreboards will be loaded onto trucks and be assembled at Varney before the start of their race season in early May. John McDonnell, a longtime supporter of Varney International Speedway, personally spawned the project and received assistance in taking down the scoreboards from other track supporters Clark and Ingrid Hartman.
"I can't say enough about how grateful we are to have these scoreboards," McDonnell said. "MIS has been so helpful with the whole process and we were happy to purchase them for our 2008 race season. MIS truly cares about their race fans in the United States and Canada. It is a special place who really appreciates the sport of auto racing and what it means to the local short track communities."
Varney International Speedway owner Ken McLellan, who has owned the short track since 2000, agrees with McDonnell.
"I'm very excited about all of this," he said. "It's great that the opportunity presented itself to acquire these scoreboards and use them to better our speedway. Our drivers and fans will be excited about it as well."
With more than 10 percent of MIS race fans hailing from Canada, the country has become a major supporter of the Irish Hills track over the years.
"We've attended races at MIS in the past and have enjoyed our time there," McDonnell said. "MIS has a real strong fan base stretching from Windsor to Varney and beyond. We enjoy having a major NASCAR track close enough that we can attend a race without the added expense of overnight accommodations. It is no problem attending a race on Sunday and being at work on Monday."
Besides the new scoreboard, other projects on tap for MIS in 2008 include:
• Some 300 new campsites sites with electric hookups will be added to the Graves Farm Campground, bringing the total number of campsites at MIS to nearly 9,000.
• A permanent restroom/shower building will be built in the Graves Farm Campground.
• Michigan International Speedway is moving forward with additional improved seating. Two additional grandstands in Turn One have beentorn down and are currently being replaced with a grandstand that has wider seats, seatbacks and more leg room. The project began last year when one of the old "silver" grandstands was torn down and replaced with seats that are four inches wider than seats in the old grandstands. The project does not add seats, but merely replaces old seats.
Michigan International Speedway tickets can fit anyone's budget. The speedway is hosting the ARCA RE/MAX Series on June 13, the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Cool City Customs 200 on June 14, the NASCAR Nationwide Series CARFAX 250 on August 16 and the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series on June 15 and 3M Performance 400 on August 17. Tickets are available for all events, including qualifying days.
