Wow, almost 6 months since my last entry. I produced a lot of code since then and have even more stuff in the pipeline. I'll try to summarize what I was doing in the last months...
KDE Desktop Sharing
Well, it's done - at least for KDE 3.1. All user-visible references to the old name 'krfb' have been removed. Now the official name is 'desktop sharing'. I never liked the habit of giving strange names to applications anyway. Who knows what a 'Noatun' or a 'Nautilus' is? I also added a few new features: if you configure it to accept connections without prior invitation, it will announce its presence via SLP. That allows an administrator to search for users on the network without knowing the name of their computer. I also enhanced the protocol to transmit the position of the cursor. This can reduce the traffic a little bit, and makes it possible to have a larger or more conspicuous cursor on the client.
So far the application is optimized for a single use case: an inexperienced user wants to invite a friend or administrator to help her. Unfortunately this is not, what most of the people, who downloaded the software or tested the KDE betas, wanted. Most of them seem to have several computers and want to control them from a single machine. Desktop Sharing is not a good solution for this, and never will be, because the performance is quite bad and the user must be logged in all the time. Using the regular VNC server is a better idea, but most people seem to have problems configuring it. See below for a X11-based solution for that problem. Another use case that is not optimized yet is an administrator who wants to connect directly to a group of workstations. Because of VNC's very limited authentication mechanisms the only way to authenticate is against a single master password that is stored locally. This is, well, sub-optimal if you have a few dozens or even hundreds of workstations. I plan to solve this problems by extending the protocol with Kerberos support.
Remote Desktop Connection (krdc)
Yes, I finally managed to produce a VNC client, and it's in KDE 3.1. I took the TightVNC unix client and rewrote it to run in two threads, controlled by a Qt GUI thread. I also added a few GUI goodies, like a much nicer fullscreen mode and a 'scaled' mode that scales the content to fit the window. For Desktop Sharing it supports user browsing via SLP and the 'soft cursor' extension. Planned features for 3.2 are Kerberos authentication for Desktop Sharing, and possibly a ssh/X11 mode. Instead of using VNC, it should log in using ssh into a remote computer and start a regular X11 session. krdc will then run an embedded xnest locally. It will look like VNC and be as easy to use, but with the more bandwidth-friendly gzipped-X11. This solution has a lot of advantages, you only need to have ssh running on the remote computer and you have the full ssh authentication and encryption options. It should be the ideal solution for the "user with several workstations" use case (unless the user uses a non-KDE environment on the client).
I had a few weeks of vacation in august and wrote KDE/Qt wrappers for GStreamer. I am quite impressed by GStreamer's architecture and I think it will be a worthy contender for KDE 4.0's multimedia framework. I decided not to work on GStreamer projects in the next few month though. I have a lot of other things that I want to do, and Gst still has a number of rough spots that I experienced while writing a few examples for the binding. Instead of losing time while working around them, it's better to wait a little bit for GStreamer to mature...
Code documentation
I have always been a friend of JavaDocs, kdoc and similar API documentation systems. The quality of documentation is an important point for me when I decide whether I use a system or not. For example, Python is a nice programming language, but there is no good API documentation available. The official library reference is just a document, which makes it quite useless for me. There is no standard for Python API documentation (so every library is documented in a different way), it is not cross-linked with other documentation, and a document makes it too hard to find a function or class.
KDE's API documentation is pretty mediocre. Some classes are really well-documented, but others are incomplete or not documented at all. So I started adding missing documentation. So far I am through with the kdecore and dcop packages, every single class, function and argument is documented now. It is not as good as I would like, for example it needs more examples, but it is a beginning. Right now I am working on kio, and I hope to finish kfile and kdeui for 3.2 as well. Documenting classes is like playing Tetris, really adicitive, you should try it :)
SOAP+web services
During the hard feature freeze for KDE 3.1 I started writing a WebServices package. Originally I only wanted to implement sending SOAP messages, but then the new DCOPRef syntax inspired me and I wanted RPC as well. It got bigger and bigger, now I have a XML-Pull-Parser API, a WSDL implementation and soon Soap RPC. I hope to release it when the feature freeze is over.

Binghamton University lays out ambitious agenda in support of Governor's public higher education reform package
BINGHAMTON, NY -- Governor David A. Paterson today announced the Public Higher Education Empowerment and Innovation Act. This legislation will unleash the power of the State University of New York and allow it to reinvigorate the economy through innovation and job creation.
"Public higher education has a unique mission and responsibility," said Binghamton University President Lois B. DeFleur. "SUNY ensures that New Yorkers have access to high-quality, affordable education, which helps keep the state's best and brightest in New York. Right now, however, SUNY has too little revenue, too little investment and far too much regulation. If we fail to remedy these problems, we risk crippling our system of public higher education and miss an opportunity to help the state set the pace for developments in sustainability, engineering, health care and business."
Through this legislation, SUNY would have spending and contracting flexibility to better serve students, faculty, researchers and staff in a timely manner. It would also allow SUNY the ability to access capital necessary to support the state's economic development mission. The legislation would give SUNY the ability to lease or purchase land and facilities. Additionally, it will provide greater flexibility in setting tuition as well as the ability to retain revenue generated by tuition.
"Investment in SUNY and Binghamton University is an investment in the economic foundation of New York State," said DeFleur. "Given these tools proposed by the Governor's reform package, Binghamton University will have a stronger role in the economic development and future of central New York. In response, we have laid out an ambitious agenda which draws upon Binghamton's strengths as a leader in internationalism and sustainability."
Binghamton's initiative, known as the Think Green. Think Global. Think Binghamton plan, will, over the next decade:
- expand enrollment by 5,000 students.
- hire an additional 1,800 faculty and support staff.
- fuel entrepreneurialism, technology transfer and small business development with increased support for local start-up companies.
- construct 12 new buildings, including a law school, additional science and lecture facilities and residence halls, to accommodate the larger student body.
- add unique academic programs that will produce graduates who are prepared to lead the way in building a new, greener future for the state.
- continue to achieve efficiencies in energy use. The University will expand; its carbon footprint will not.
By implementing the governor's legislation through the Think Binghamton plan, Binghamton University is expected to generate an additional $170 million annual impact on Greater Binghamton and an additional $231.6 million annual impact on New York State, for new totals of $920 million and $1,23 billion, respectively. With this legislation, Binghamton University plans:
- an estimated $889 million in construction and critical maintenance. This building boom is projected to result in sustained hiring of more than 5,200 construction workers over a 10-year period and have a statewide economic impact of more than $1.96 billion.
- the addition of 5,000 students to the campus will create more than 2,200 sustained jobs within Greater Binghamton when fully implemented. This includes 1,800 faculty and support staff as well as 440 jobs in the region.
- the addition of 5,000 students will generate more than $1.15 million in volunteer services to the community as well as more than $8 million in new property taxes.
"New York, like the country as a whole, must seize this moment and find a way to position itself to succeed," said DeFleur. "Through passage of the Public Higher Education Empowerment and Innovation Act, SUNY can help the state succeed in this knowledge-based economy of the future and Binghamton University can be at the center of this vibrant, high-tech movement."

Excellent, more toys. A USB mouse - which was pretty much necessary, given the demise of my laptop's built-in one - and a USB mass-storage keyfob which I can put my secret keys on. I can feel the tinfoil hat settling already.
(It's certainly better than the fairly crappy state of my key security up to now, although you didn't hear me say that. Fortunately I've never had a laptop stolen so far, but it's probably only a matter of time.)

Hundreds turn out for Thanksgiving meal at Union Gospel Mission
The Union Gospel Mission served a record number of meals Wednesday during its annual Thanksgiving dinner at the Spokane Convention Center.
"There's such a huge need, just with the economy and what's going on in the world right now, there's just a lot of people struggling," UGM Chef Steve Viers said.
In two hours, UGM and dozens of volunteers served 1,120 meals.
"550 pounds of potatoes, 320 pounds of green beans, 120 gallons of gravy, 420 pounds of stuffing, 180 turkeys," Viers said.
All the food was donated by local companies. It took Longhorn Barbeque several days to smoke all 180 turkeys.
Angie Best is on a limited budget and couldn't afford to prepare a Thanksgiving meal on her own.
Best and her two daughters spent nearly an hour eating turkey, stuffing and sipping on hot chocolate.
"Food was fabulous," Best said
"It was the best Thanksgiving ever," Best's daughter, Nevaeh, said.
"It's humbling to have people serve you and come in and everybody's the same," Best added.
In addition to the meals, UGM also gave away warm socks, hats and gloves for the winter months.
- Driver arrested after Spokane Valley crash injures four juveniles
- Lawmakers don't want pot billboards to be appealing to kids
- Thousands of pennies to help nonprofit school

TUPELO – Aberdeen jumped ahead of Corinth with relentless defensive pressure. Corinth's pressure led to a late comeback.
When it was done, Aberdeen beat the Warriors 67-63 on Tuesday night in the Tupelo Tip-Off Classic.
Aberdeen led 63-49 after a steal and Tylan McMillian bucket late in the fourth quarter but Corinth stormed back. Two late steals led to a pair of makes for freshman Antares Gwyn to cut that lead to 65-63 with 4.7 seconds to play.
Aberdeen got the ball to senior Jakeese Walker who made a pair of free throws with 2.2 seconds left.
"They never quit and punched back at us," Aberdeen coach Roy Hazzle said. "We speak about free throw shooting as being one of the five things a great team has to do."
Walker had 11 points for Aberdeen (1-1), which led 29-24 at the half.
"We had to come out with more intensity and pick it up after the half, find our offense and defense," Walker said.
He got help from Rico Haughton (14), McMillian (13) and Nick Simms (11).
Decisive surge
Aberdeen went on an 11-2 run in the final quarter. After Corinth's Raheem Sorrell made a pair of free throws to cut the lead to 55-49, Aberdeen answered with a Simms make and two steals that led to baskets.
Jazz Garner had 11 points to lead Corinth (1-1).
"We sure weren't very pretty on offense tonight, a lot of turnovers," Corinth coach Keith Greene said. "They get after you hard."
Corinth just got its football players back after a playoff loss last week. Aberdeen is without up to four potential starters with the football Bulldogs in the second round of the playoffs.
Both teams made the state tournament in March. Aberdeen lost in the 3A semifinals. Corinth lost in the 4A championship game.

Unity in Sudan is focus of talk
Posted February 11, 2009; 11:52 p.m.
Sudanese-born historian Jok Madut Jok will discuss instability in his home country in a lecture titled "Sudan and the Fallacy of Nationhood: How Political Islam Threatens National Unity" at 4:30 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 18, in 16 Robertson Hall.
Jok is an associate professor of history at Loyola Marymount University. He is the author of three books and numerous articles on reproductive health, humanitarian aid, ethnography of political violence, gender-based violence, war and slavery, and the politics of identity in Sudan.
Born and raised in Sudan, Jok's experiences have been marked by political instability, dictatorial governments, economic problems, conflict and exile. While a graduate student in Egypt and the United States, he became interested in the impact of war on gender relations. After conducting research in Sudan and refugee camps in the neighboring countries, he wrote "Militarization, Gender and Reproductive Health in South Sudan," which chronicles how violence is reproduced within communities and families during times of hostile political conflict. His latest book is titled "Sudan: Race, Religion and Violence."
Jok also has served as a humanitarian aid worker and a consultant for a number of aid agencies.
The event is sponsored by the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs and the Center for the Study of Religion as part of their lecture series on "The Crossroads of Religion and Politics."

It's sleepy sleepy time for now. z_z
Apocalyptica o.o Forgot about them. Path, while on the overused side, is still a good song, and the intro works fine. Don't worry about sending me the file, I can rip it from my own CD. All you'll need to do is let me know where to crop the song so it'll flow into the next track.

This magnificent octagon that dominates the Old City is a shrine for Isam's third most holy site. The piece of black stone it covers is the mountain where Abraham tried to sacrifice Ishmael (not Isaac as Jews and Christians believe), the site of the temple of Solomon, and the place from whence Mohammed departed skywards for his famous encounter with the heavenly—"The Night Journey".
The building took three years to complete, from 688 to 691, and was erected as a deliberate snub to Christians and Jews, whose faith Islam was supposed to supersede. The location had borrowed Judaism's heritage and most holy sight—the Temple Mount— the building was constructed to have a larger dome than that of the Holy Sepulchre's, and Syrian Christians were forced to Lay mosaics inside containing verses taken from the Koran about Christian misguided belief in the Trinity.
The Dome of the Rock has survived all earthquakes thus far, being built firmly on rock, and has never been destroyed, merely renovated. The new external tiling was put on in 1963 and the dome was re-gilded in 1993-94.

Good to hear ash. Remember that when it isn't in use you can run that sponge in an established tank to keep it cycled and ready for when you set up your QT tank. Most people don't try and keep them running full time. I have tried that but I always end up talking myself into buying more fish to put in it. Lol.

LoL Good advice =) The safestart made the tank a little cloudy but I imagine it will clear up.
Keeping fingers crossed !
Neph - just tested my water ...all perimeters are good ! So as long as they look ok I won't rush into a water change. I'll keep a close eye on it and see if i can stretch it just a little. Today is only my 6th day since last water change.
The Maracyn which is gram positive does say will not hurt the beneficial bacteria so lets see what happens.... Maybe as you have said, so many diseases that look the same perhaps I used the wrong one and need the gram negative antibiotics.....I'll look more into the slime coat disease....ehh boy.
Ash - Good Job !!! Glad to hear your heading in the right direction...what exactly did you use ? was it Maracyn 2?
Cors: oh that's good to hear. I didn't know the BB could supposedly survive through that treatment. That is good to know. Well at least you don't have to add that headache to compound the issues."A grain of sand is all I ever wanted to be. Lay me down and let the water wash over me, wash over me." -Mickey Newbury

Yes ,....BB can survive through the gram positive antibiotic
it is the gram negative antibiotics that will kill it off.
Unfortunately I think that is the route I have to take next !

I bought it from Petsmart. It was just called erythromiacin. This is what I bought. http://www.petsmart.com/product/inde...AvailInUS%2FNo
Well....... it's been a bit now and I am afraid I have nothing good to report.
After the initial treatment with Maracyn (erythromiacin) for 5 days and Quick Cure (though at half dose because I have Tetras) for 6 days ... both Meds simultaneously,
I waited and held off on a water change til the 8th day because my water parameters all looked good. I wanted to keep the tank exposed to the meds as long as possible without hurting anyone.
Since no improvement in the Angel Fish (in fact looking worse) I figured I would move her out first to a quarantine tank and give her another round of Maracyn.
(lot less expensive treating a 5 gal tank as opposed to my main 90 for sure).
Well unfortunately that didn't work and the Angel died. I'm very unhappy about that one because she was growing nicely and was part of a pair for sure. (Black Lace Angels with nice high fins and long tail Not sure how I can re-match and replace her.)
So I cleaned the QT tank out thoroughly, then after a little new start up time I introduced the Velvet Sword and A Creamcycle Lyre tail Molly that didnt look improved after treatment in the 90.
.....and then I added a Panda Cat fish that looked like it was starting to get infected (Blotchy patches on Skin )
I am trying something else that was suggested called "Lifeguard" which is a multispectrum kind of med. Non....antibiotic. So I am now treating my quarantine tank with that. Will see if that yields anything positive.
Now I noticed one of my Black Neon Tetras in the 90 gal losing its color and when it turned I also noticed it had pop eye !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Holy Crap .... I hope my entire tank is not doomed .... I'll keep treating, I guess with something til I figure this out or until they all die one at a time.
Water is in very good shape .... ughhhhh....starting to feel defeated.....
Damn cors I am sorry. This one just will not ease off for you. That sucks the angel gave up. At least you gave her a fighting chance. I know how that feels to loose them after a long battle. We just lost a thick lipped gourami yesterday that had come down with something that caused dropsy like a month ago. We got her swelling down with some EM, and some epsom, she was eating well but resting a lot on the substrate. Looked like she might have been improving and through the worst of it, and then bam dead the next morning. It sucks to feel like you put all that work in and failed. Sometimes the damage is just too extensive tho. You did what you could for them, and that is what matters. Wish I could offer some advice but as I said before, the issue with your tank is well out of my league. I have no idea where to go from here. Ill keep my fingers crossed for you tho."A grain of sand is all I ever wanted to be. Lay me down and let the water wash over me, wash over me." -Mickey Newbury

...Thanks Neph
I'll keep trying, I'm gettin P.O.'d as well as frustrated. I hate to keep dumpin some kind of med in the main tank so I'll get it cleared out and decide where to go next..... Maybe just focus on treating em as they get sick in the QT tank.
I stopped medicating the main tank and went to every 5 days for a 50% water change..... On my second cycle with that.
I have had three filters runnin all along full of sponges and Biomax and I clean only one after each wc so I'm not worried about disrupting the Biological bacteria. I'm more focused on cleanin the gravel bed real good
Will see what happens......
update on an old problem for those interested...
Well I tried one last thing ...Maracyn Plus! followed by Rid Ich plus.........Unbelievably this did the trick for me...!! General dieing has stopped.... The white blotchy areas on the sword dissapeared, tail rot gone and fins all repaired....My tetra's popeye is gone ! Everyone looks healthy and happy again though all my Mollies died
It was a long battle.... but I guess besides our efforts to help maybe nature just has to sort it all out.
Neither of these two meds hurt your biological filter and they treat a long list of diseases. Both Liquids which I find best compared to powders.... Also found great pricing on line at a place called www.thatpetplace.com ...half price compared to big box stores!!!!!!!!!!

If your dog has a disruptive emotional or behavioral problem, you may want to seek help from an animal behavior therapist. Most animal behavior therapists are well-trained professionals who perform a legitimate and valuable service. The phobias and psychological problems of pets are just as real as those of humans. These range from fear of strangers, or of ringing door bells and telephones, to depression, anorexia, and self-mutilation.
To find a qualified animal behavior therapist, it is important to first consult with your veterinarian for a referral. Your vet will need to examine your pet before recommending a therapist, to rule out the possibility that the animal's seemingly psychological problem has an underlying physical cause. For example, a dog who becomes a fear biter when petted may not have an emotional, anti-social problem, but an infected ear that hurts when touched. Some dogs act lame on one leg in order to get attention and there's nothing physically wrong with the leg.
The animal behavior therapist may ask for an interview with the entire family. Friction between spouses, the arrival of a new baby, or the presence of a hyperactive child can have adverse effects on a family dog. Some therapists make house calls. Others have the family and the pet come to the office. Follow-up visits are often necessary to modify the treatment. If you give your full cooperation and follow the therapist's recommendations carefully, behavior therapy is usually not long-term, and it's a good investment, since it allows you to enjoy your dog's presence more.

About CHCI-AA
The Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute's Alumni Association (CHCI-AA) was established in 1998 as a group of former CHCI fellows for the purpose of establishing a national network of Hispanic/Latino professionals and leaders dedicated to the advancement and development of alumni of the CHCI Public Policy Fellowship Program. In 2002, the CHCI-AA voted to include former summer interns and scholarship award recipients who have graduated from college. In 2012, the AA recognized graduates of the R2L NextGen Program as junior alumni of the association.
Today, the mission of the CHCI-AA is to support CHCI in developing the next generation of Latino leaders through lifelong alumni engagement and leadership advancement. It envisions CHCI alumni actively engaged in developing Latino leaders, involved civically in their communities, supporting CHCI's programs, and continually developing their own professional and leadership skills.
In support of CHCI's 2010-2015 Strategic Plan: Keeping the Promise, the CHCI-AA's primary objective is to promote the lifelong engagement of its membership to give back to CHCI and the Latino community. It meets these objectives by:
- Providing professional development opportunities for members
- Advancing volunteer and mentoring support for CHCI program participants
- Promoting alumni giving and fundraising efforts for CHCI
- Elevating the visibility and engagement of alumni via various social media platforms in support of CHCI mission
CHCI Alumni Association Constitution
In November 1997, a group of former CHCI fellows began discussing the prospect of creating an Alumni Association for the purpose of establishing a national network of Hispanic/Latino professionals and leaders dedicated to the advancement and development of alumni of the CHCI Public Policy Fellowship Program. This group initially formed the CHCI Alumni Advisory Committee to undertake this task.
Based out of Washington, DC, the Advisory Committee met on numerous occasions to draft the mission, vision and primary objectives of the Alumni Association. With the full support of the CHCI Board, the official launch of the CHCI Fellows Alumni Association took place in September 1998 during the CHCI Issues Conference and Gala. In 2002, the Association voted to include former summer interns and scholarship award recipients who have graduated from college. The Association officially became the CHCI Alumni Association.
Since its inception, the Association has continually worked toward the mission of establishing an intranet of shared resources, information, and experiences for alumni. Over 1400 students have completed CHCI's programs since CHCI was established in 1978. These alumni reflect the diversity of the Hispanic community in heritage, background, experiences, and regions. It is the intent of the Association to tap into these valuable alumni from around the country for the purpose of sharing experiences as leaders, professionals, and contributors to their community.
Thus far the Association has been responsible for maintaining a comprehensive directory of former CHCI fellows containing information on alumni dating back to 1981. The alumni directory is an ongoing project that is being updated and maintained as a valuable resource to both former and current fellows. In addition, the Association has made a strong commitment to CHCI by coordinating events that connect current CHCI fellows and interns with alumni who reside within the DC area. These events have provided a great opportunity for alumni to mentor and share their valuable experiences with current participants of CHCI's programs.
As the CHCI Alumni Association continues to develop, it is always looking for ways to better accomplish its mission. One of the most recent projects was the creation of an alumni web portal on the CHCI website as a better way for alumni to communicate with one another. This portal will make it easier for CHCI alumni to share information with each other and access information regarding CHCI events and alumni-related activities. Additionally, CHCI Alumni Association launched two social networking spaces for Alumni interaction: a Facebook Page and a Linkedin group (see links below). The Association is also committed to maintaining an informational page on the CHCI website. The Alumni webpage will be updated monthly with information on the Alumni Association activities and profiles of selected alumni, like the "Alumnus of the Month" series. Finally, a representative of the CHCI Alumni Association will sit on the CHCI Board, the Association has an excellent opportunity to provide unique perspectives and valuable feedback regarding the various CHCI programs.

I have to admit that I got the idea for this thread from Pondo. I really like the music from the SW movies and have all four double disc sets, including the OG EP1 release with all the tracks out-of-order from their movie sequence. One of the best parts of the movies are the end credits. Who cares about the cast and crew, I'm talking about the music! I enjoy listening to the music suites at the end because they just give a great overall rehash of the movie. If you remember from the original trilogy, they always start with the SW fanfare followed by one or two themes introduced in that particular movie, then another chorus of the SW theme, and lastly a resounding fanfare finish.
In ANH there is the SW theme followed only by Princess Leia's theme, then the finish.
In ESB, after the SW theme there are Yoda's theme and the Imperial March, then the finishing flare. It's the same finale as from the two EP1 trailers. IMO this fanfare is the best of all the movies. There maybe some of Han and Leia's theme in the credits as well but I don't remember exactly, although it plays right before the credits begin.
In ROTJ, after the theme the Ewok March and Luke and Leia's theme play, but I can't remember the order, then the fanfare.
EP1 is really different in that it only relies lightly on the SW theme to start the end credits. It only plays for maybe 20 sec. before DOTF and Ani's theme, then the ending is just a softening of Anakin's song with the DV breathing in the background with no oomph at the end. Possibly done this way as an overtone as to what's to come.
Although the EP1 soundtrack is really different, I would rather have the pattern set from the classic trilogy. I hope JW goes back to the original formula for EP2.
I think all are nice in their own right, but I pick ESB as the best. We get two great themes, including the Imperial March, the best ending fanfare, and best of all, no Ewok music.

Series to explore Weimar films of Fritz Lang
Posted September 16, 2005; 09:27 p.m.
A series showcasing all of the surviving German films by Fritz Lang prior to his emigration to the United States in the mid-1930s is planned for this semester.
Thomas Levin, associate professor of German, has organized the series in conjunction with his graduate seminar "Fritz Lang -- The Weimar Films." The screenings, which are free and open to the public, will take place at 7 p.m. on Wednesdays between Sept. 21 and Dec. 14 in 10 East Pyne.
"Coinciding almost exactly with the rise and fall of the Weimar Republic, the films can be read as a powerful reflection of and on the 'images of the time,' to use Fritz Lang's own subtitle for his disturbingly contemporary study of megalomaniacal power in his series of films about Dr. Mabuse," Levin said.
The series will feature restored copies of well-known Weimar classics such as "Metropolis" and "M" as well as restorations of lesser-known early films by Lang such as "The Spiders" (1919-20), "Spies" (1928) and "Woman in the Moon" (1929). The mostly silent, black-and-white films will be shown in their original German-language versions with English intertitles or subtitles, some with original color tinting and others featuring their original orchestral soundtracks.
Certain important masterpieces by Lang such as the two-part "Dr. Mabuse, the Gambler" and the two-part "The Nibelungen" will be presented in their original and previously unavailable epic-length versions (nearly five hours each).
A complete schedule of the film series with full filmographic information will be available at the screenings as well as online.

The stadium is structurally fine. No need to knock it down. Just gut it out and redue the seating and put some kind of awnings for shade over the stands.
My main point remains: Ross is a billionaire builder. If anyone can put together a private financing package it would be him. I'd rather see our tax funds used to improve our public education system than to be given to billionaires to run their hobbies.
How about a wrecking ball and bulldozers and build a futuristic "Orange Bowl" and get the damn hex off this franchise!
Christened Dec. 31, 1999 with a concert by Gloria Estefan, American Airlines Arena is home to the NBA's Miami Heat and a venue for concerts, family shows, and theatrical performances. The modern arena, designed by Miami architecture firm Arquitectonica and arena designers Heinlein & Schrock, is located at 601 Biscayne Blvd., and overlooks Biscayne Bay in downtown Miami. The $213 million American Airlines Arena, owned by Miami-Dade County, was the result of years of political wrangling and disputes between Miami Heat owner Micky Arison and H. Wayne Huizenga, owner of the NHL's Florida Panthers, whose teams shared the Heat's original home, Miami Arena. Both team owners decided to abandon the pink oval arena less than a decade after it opened because it didn't have revenue-generating luxury suites and club seats. The two owners initially planned to share a new home in Broward County, but Miami-Dade County business and political leaders urged the Heat to stay in Miami and a bayside arena plan was forged in March 1996 that relied on a combination of private money, hotel taxes and a state sales tax rebate to pay for the building. But just days before Miami-Dade County voters were to consider a ballot measure on the plan, a new deal was struck with Miami-Dade County newly elected mayor, Alex Penelas, who had campaigned against public financing for the arena. The new plan called for the Heat to cover most of the financing with the help of a $60 million state sales tax rebate and the county kicking in $6.4 million a year for arena maintenance and operation. The county also paid $37 million to the city for the land. The deal required voters to vote No on the referendum and on Nov. 5, 1996, voters rejected the measure by a 65 percent to 35 percent vote. In October 1997, American Airlines purchased the naming rights to the arena for $42 million over 20 years. Ground was broken in January 1998. On Nov. 13, ironworkers cutting steel accidentally sparked a blaze during construction when molten metal fell on plywood. The fire caused only superficial damage. American Airlines Arena, which seats 19,600 for basketball games, includes 20 center court suites each with balconies, 54 loge premium seats, and six exclusive Starbox suites located under the lower bowl seating that come with seats on the court. It opened on New Year's Eve in 1999 with Estefan's concert and the first Heat game in the building was held on Jan. 2, 2000. It served as home to the WNBA's Miami Sol from 2000 until 2002, when the team folded. Madonna, U2, Cher, the Rolling Stones, Bruce Springsteen, Britney Spears, Shakira and Phish are among the acts that have played the arena. The building has also hosted the Harlem Globetrotters, Disney on Ice, WWE and the Wiggles. The arena played host to the 2004 and 2005 MTV Music Video Awards. It can be transformed into the Waterfront Theatre for smaller concerts and theatrical performances for up to 5,600 patrons. The Heat won the NBA Championship in 2006, playing NBA Finals games 3, 4, and 5 at American Airlines Arena, before winning the championship in Dallas in Game 6. The arena is scheduled to host the first and second rounds of the NCAA men's basketball tournament in March 2009
Super Bowls are are NOT awarded to Stadiums, they are made to cities/communities, and they are not awarded solely on the condition/comparison between the stadiums. Other factors are almost as important, and those other factors together are MORE important. The city, hotels, weather, venues for ancillary events, tourist attractions, city image, ect, ect.....

Can wait for this hunt since I bought my Grand Daughter her the first BB gun, her first cricket 22 and a 410 shotgun. Dad picked up the .234. On her 5th BB we had a "deer camp" theme with all the camo and games!

A huge Congrats to all who take the kids out hunting. It is always a thrill to be with them whether they shoot something or not. But now that many of you have got your kids, grandkids, etc hooked you can put your guns away when hunting with them for a few years. Oh you will get to shoot again but it will be when they aren't around or they get a little older. Enjoy this ride because they grow too fast and will be in their own stand before you know it.

Thanks everyone for the welcomes and the tips. I'm hunting in Fairfield County SC on a property that's been leased from a logging company. We have a lot of cutover, but running through the middle of the property is a large creek that still has big standing roosting trees. The other side of the property is wooded heavily with "replacement" pines. I went scouting last weekend and heard four and saw one Tom. I was moving back to my truck when I saw the Tom on a powerline ridge a good 300 yards from me. He saw me first, but I could see his beard swinging through my binocs as he ran down the hill from me. Anyway, I saw a lot of turkey movement on the powerline side of the property during deer season (had a gobbler pack of 5 come by the stand one morning and hang out for about 30 minutes) and was excited when I heard them gobbling in the same area last weekend. I covered a lot of ground that scouting trip, but next weekend I'm going to sit in one spot with hopes to hearing some hens this time around.
The responses have been a TREMENDOUS help. One of the main reasons I asked was my fear about over calling. Thanks again and if anyone else has anything else to add, I'm all ears. The more I can learn the better. A buddy of mine (who now works for the NWTF) took me turkey hunting and got me my first jake. I've had the itch ever since!
13 more days here! I'll let you guys know how it goes!

Located in San Mateo County, the coastal town of Half Moon Bay is about 30 miles south of San Francisco, 10 miles west of San Mateo, 45 miles north of Santa Cruz. Primary access to Half Moon Bay is via HWY 92 West from either HWY 101 or HWY 280 or Via HWY 1, Cabrillo HWY from San Francisco or Santa Cruz.
To the locals, the Half Moon Bay coast includes the towns of Half Moon Bay, El Granada, Moss Beach and Montara. The Coast is well known for surfing, commercial fishing and weekend tourism. There are numerous bed and breakfasts, EcoTourism activities, horseback riding, tide pools, hiking, floral farms, restaurants and shopping. The coast acts as one larger community and has a combined population of 22,469 per the 2000 census.
Half Moon Bays population was 11,842 as of the 2000 census. Immediately at the north of Half Moon Bay is the Pillar Point Harbor and the unincorporated community of Princeton-by-the-Sea. As one would expect from the name, the "Half Moon" bay is semi-circular, with sea access to the south.
Half Moon Bay was the first town established in San Mateo County. The town was then called San Benito and began to develop in the 1840s. The town then renamed itself to Spanishtown and again to Half Moon Bay in 1874.

2nd hand report:
Open is a double and a blind. Birds go down then run the blind. Blind is tight to the first bird down. Line to the blind includes water, which is hard to get if you avoid the mark. Both guns are retired. Don't know distances. Sounds pretty salty... just a double and a blind. Must be very experienced judges.

Sorry if this is seen as a repost, but after wandering around it seemed that this section was more appropriate.
Can you reproduce? (we can, each time, using any program, even 'blink')
We finally found that simply taking a 4.7k resistor from the board 5V to pin 7 causes the problem. On original UNO, this works.Can you reproduce? (we can, each time, using any program, even 'blink')
If you take the AVR out of one of the new and misbehaving boards, and put it in a Rev1 board, does it start behaving?
I tried that. Swapping AVR from a R1 UNO to R2 UNO does not change behavior. [...]
a little confused here - can you just clarify: if you swap the 328p chips over, the R1 works (is not disrupted by a pullup on D7) while the R2 stops working with the pullup present?
is the 328p getting good power? that is a solid 5v, preferably monitored with a scope for any spikes. remembering that the power comes via a FET that is wired up in an arrangement that has been questioned in the past.

Exercise, the training of the body to improve its function and enhance its fitness.
The terms exercise and physical activity are often used interchangeably, but this article will distinguish between them. Physical activity is an inclusive term that refers to any expenditure of energy brought about by bodily movement via the skeletal muscles; as such, it includes the complete spectrum of activity from very low resting levels to maximal exertion. Exercise is a component of physical activity. The distinguishing characteristic of exercise is that it is a structured activity specifically planned to develop and maintain physical fitness.

Auriga's Kevin Dede, who has a Buy rating on Apple (AAPL) shares and a $700 price target, today writes that the U.S. Department of Justice's suit against the company in the e-book market yesterday "ultimately has little effect on the company's overall well being," a sentiment he sees reflected in the general investor attitude by the fact the stock has been merely flat between Tuesday's close and this morning's rise.
The biggest concern of CEO Tim Cook's "stewardship" of the firm is "maintaining the positive perception Apple's key constituents have of the company itself," writes Dede, and in e-books those constituents are authors, publishers, and, consumers.
Dede's view is that Apple is trying to protect the e-book business from an erosion of value, as it has in most of its initiatives sought to protect various parties in the value chain, in his opinion:
And as we see Apple's overarching philosophy, it appears to us that Apple is defending interests of all the members of its "book" value chain, including authors, publisher, and customers, as it does with all its constituents that offer value to the end customer. There is no salvageable long-term business model in destroying any key participant's position; all players need to see a reason to play the game. For those that add no value in distribution, Apple offers no quarter in the surrender of profits to digitization. Authors need to see the value in digital distribution, publishers, as certainly do consumers. We believe Apple understands the power it can execute over the digitization of the book publishing market, especially since it cracked open the music market, and in negotiating positions and pricing with publishers (if in fact that is the case), we see Apple as trying to set a basic market perception of value.
With Apple's big consumer exposure, "dancing around book pricing and collusion charges is not great image building stuff," writes Dede, but he thinks the Amazon case is just one of any challenges where Tim Cook will try to "keep the smiley face" on Apple's image, ranging from fair content pricing to contract worker health and safety. Dede thinks Cook will make such brand-protection efforts a top priority.
Apple shares today are up $1.88, or 0.3%, at $628.08.

I know if that turkey is within that circle I know he is dead. The stick idea has worked well for me in the past and I will use it in the future. You could also make a hole in the dirt or scrape away some grass heck any sign that will let you easily tell a certain specified distance. You could also bring with some yellow tent stakes with and put them in the ground.

One day I visited the Pedro Tea Estate. Tea is one of Sri Lanka's major exports and the hill country of Sri Lanka is where the tea plantations are found. In order to grow, tea requires a warm climate (I'm not so sure when Nuwara Eliya is warm?), altitude, and a sloping terrain. So after taking a tour of the tea factory I learned how tea leaves are dried, crushed, fermented, sorted, etc. The factory employs about 3,000 people, 2,000 of which are tea pickers, of which are all women. The tea pickers work 10 hour days and make about US$3 per day. Sorry, but no pictures are allowed inside the factory. At the end of the tour you are given a complimentary cup of tea. It was a lovely cuppa tea, but it definitely doesn't beat the tastings I had at the tequila factory in Mexico or the rum factory in Cuba!!
Nearby the tea factory was Lover's Leap Waterfall...no explanation needed.
The following day I went to Horton Plains National Park, about 1 and 1/2 hours south of Nuwara Eliya. This area lies in the middle of Sri Lanka's 2nd and 3rd highest mountains and forms a plateau about 2,000 meters (6,000 feet) above sea level. There is a 10km hike that loops around a portion of the park with a few interesting stops along the trail.
About 4km into the trail you reach World's End where the plains suddenly come to a stop and drop about 900 meters (2,700 feet). Unfortunately, most of the time, and this time, the mist and clouds only allow you to see a few feet down.
After about 2km more you come to Baker's Falls...once again, no explanation is necessary.
Since I am about to celebrate the 4 month mark of this trip I decided to treat myself to a night at a nice hotel. In Nuwara Eliya, the Grand Hotel could compare to The Drake in Chicago. It is a huge English tudor style building with beautiful gardens, a huge lounge area, a billiards room with an attached bar, a coffee shop, a ballroom, and a few shops. A single costs $69 per night and this includes a buffet breakfast (nonguests $13) and a buffet dinner (nonguests $20) AND I didn't have to wear my fleece to bed! I think I ate enough dinner for two people so I definitely think I got my money's worth. I came here straight from Horton Plains so my shoes and the bottoms of my pants were all muddy and my hair was a mess. I was seriously thinking they might turn me away because of how I looked. But I assured them at the reception desk that I clean up fairly well.
One more week until Obama is (hopefully) officially our next president!!!!

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – Mississippi State's belief, strong as it was, carried no weight with No. 1 Alabama.
The No. 13-ranked Bulldogs (7-1, 3-1 SEC), who were off to their best start in 13 years, saw their upset hopes crushed early in a 38-7 loss to the Crimson Tide (8-0, 5-0) in front of 101,821 at Bryant-Denny Stadium on Saturday night.
Over the past few days, MSU fans had started a movement online built around the phrase "We Believe" – that is, they believed the Bulldogs could upset the reigning national champions, who entered the game as 22-point favorites.
That belief was somewhat justified given how well MSU had started the season. It entered the game No. 11 in the BCS rankings and had played its best football of the season the previous two games in wins over Tennessee and Middle Tennessee State.
But Alabama's offense mowed through MSU, scoring on its first three possessions for a 21-0 lead by the 13-minute, 33-second mark of the second quarter.
"Our fans, they believed in us. We didn't just believe, I think our guys expected (to win)," MSU head coach Dan Mullen said. "They were very, very disappointed, and they're going to have to see how they respond to this."
The bad start was too much for MSU to overcome against the nation's top-rated defense. State's offense went three-and-out on four consecutive possessions in the second quarter and could never mount a rally.
Alabama's offense went quiet for a while, too, but got a 34-yard field goal by Jeremy Shelley to take a 24-0 lead into halftime. MSU's defense played well after the poor start, but it was too late.
MSU quarterback Tyler Russell, who had looked very sharp for three straight weeks, had a tough night. He took quite a few hits as Alabama manhandled the Bulldogs' offensive tackles, Blaine Clausell and Charles Siddoway, both of whom momentarily left the game shaken up in the first half.
Russell was 15 of 30 for 169 yards and an interception. MSU finished with 256 total yards.
Alabama had 414 total yards, and A.J. McCarron was 16 of 23 for 208 yards and two touchdowns. The Crimson Tide had 179 rushing yards, led by T.J. Yeldon's 84 on 10 carries.
"We came into this game expecting to get a win," MSU linebacker Cam Lawrence said. "Props to Alabama, they're the No. 1 team in the country for a reason. I felt we played one of our worst games, and Alabama just executed."
MSU's best drive of the night came in the third quarter and featured some great throws by Russell, including a 28-yarder to Chris Smith, who had 73 yards on three catches. Starting at its own 2, the Bulldogs got all the way to Alabama's 1, but Russell was intercepted by safety Robert Lester in the end zone on third down.
It was just Russell's second interception of the season. The 16-play, 97-yard drive was MSU's longest of the season.
MSU narrowly avoided its first shutout of the Mullen era when Dak Prescott hit Robert Johnson for a 2-yard touchdown pass at the 4:39 mark of the fourth quarter.
Alabama has won five in a row in this series, with an average margin of victory of 24.2 points. This was MSU's worst loss to the Tide since a 38-0 setback in 2003, Jackie Sherrill's last season as head coach.
"I haven't played a team like this since I've been in college," said cornerback Johnthan Banks.
Both offenses clicked on their opening drives after good kickoff returns. Alabama got the ball first and covered 59 yards in nine plays, with Yeldon's 11-yard TD run making it 7-0.
Then MSU, paced by Russell's passing, including a 31-yard strike to Smith, reached the Alabama 14. But the drive stalled, and then Devon Bell's 31-yard field goal was blocked by Dee Milliner.
"They came out and started fast, and we did not. The things that we've done in the past that we needed to respond, we responded to a point and then didn't finish it off tonight," Mullen said.
The Crimson Tide struck quickly again, as McCarron found Kenny Bell for a 57-yard touchdown pass. Bell got behind the All-American Banks on the play to cap a six-play, 80-yard drive.
"A.J. McCarron, I've got so much respect for the kid," Banks said. "He gets that team going, he manages the offense, he makes no mistakes. He makes great decisions. He's an NFL quarterback, I think."
Alabama's next drive was aided by two penalties before it even started. After MSU was penalized for interfering with the punt returner, Mullen was flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct after berating officials.
So instead of starting at the 12-yard line, Alabama's drive began at the 42. That led to another score on McCarron's 9-yard pass to tight end Michael Williams early in the second quarter.
"You are preparing yourself to fight a 15-round fight, knowing that you are going to have to take the fight to them in the early rounds," Alabama coach Nick Saban said. "You can't necessarily win the fight in the first round, but you can certainly lose it.
"I think we had the right mental energy and the right physical energy to play in the game."
Alabama passed it on 11 of 23 plays on those first three TD drives.
"That's something that they might've kind of caught us off guard," Lawrence said. "Their offense coming into the game was 69 percent run, and them coming out throwing the ball, it was a little adjustment for us."

I have just been to the app store, and a lot of people are complaining about the apps lack of sorting by date uploaded.
This sounds like a major drawback, so will leave it for now.
Can't upload anything but music or videos. Want full drop again!
If You want, You can register through my link http://db.tt/9CDCbMc
We get both 250MB additional space
I forgot to mention that anyone with an '.edu' email address gets 500MB extra instead of the traditional 250MB.
Just a heads up, if you register your dropbox with a .edu address at http://www.dropbox.com/edu you get twice as much space per invite, so 500 MB as opposed to 250 MB.
And it's retroactive so if you've earned 5 GB of invite space before today, after you register you'll automatically get an extra 5.
Your max invite level gets raised to 19 GB. I should know, I maxed mine out last week. It's pretty damn sweet.
Ok Dropbox is good BUT BOX.net is better! You can get up to 50g FREE if you sign up with a touchpad! Just borrow somebodys and sign up THe 50g is free across ALL devices. So then log in with your idevice or computer and change the password! Heck I ll sign you up on mine if you want just pm me! ALSO windows Hotmail has 25g for free with a Hotmail account also free and they just came out with an app for idevices! Drop-box is good but you can get lots more free storage with these other 2 services!! Should of could have mentioned these in the review....
I like http://cl.ly/ the cloud app better.
It has a nice UI design!!!
Simple fast and free!!!
I want a folder on my work computer to sync to a folder on my home computer to sync to my laptop, my iPad and my iPhone.
Box.net doesn't offer that.
On cydia you have fulldrop and that allows you to upload and download stuff from your device aswell...Very good app!!
Its à dropbox app btw:P
DropCopy is free and is basically the same thing
You can use box.net with your desktop. Just install gladinet and it will give you a folder on your desktop to access a bunch of different cloud storage accounts. I signed up for 20 of the 50gb accounts on box.net so I essentially have a terabyte of cloud storage. Just sign up for a bunch of gmail accounts (yourname01,02,03, [email protected]) and use them on box to get more space. I use each account for different file types. Nice!

I'm in the same situation, my 5 month old has always heeled on the left. I decided recently to teach him both sides and only took me a few short sessions for the last few days and he's picked up on it quick.
