Very cool, but what does tall that cover busting do to the camera? My so received a go pro for Christmas and we were talking about trying it on a bird dog, but our cover would be way too thick.
That is really neat! I am amazed the dog isn't more bothered by the contraption on her head!

Seems to me she's asserting her "right to victimhood" as much as any other "oppressed" minority.But alas being white heterosexual Christian must make you a lesser class citizen that does not have the same rights as others.
Accept that it was not "God's will", "forgive those who trespass against you" and move on.
Unless Miss NC does something to get her title taken away, Ms Prejean is not going to be Miss USA this year.
Jmtc, but while she gave her somewhat disjointed opinion on marriage, she did not answer the question the "judge" asked.
Olbermann's caricature of journalism shouldn't surprise anyone, I consider him about as credible as Geraldo, Phil Donahue etc and don't/didn't watch those shows either! He might be good with lawns though as he seems to put a lot of crap out there.


text: I just received my dog's Avery Boater's Dog Parka which I ordered based on the measurement instructions. It seems to fit on the neck end, but I think it might be a little snug toward the bottom of the ribcage. I'm a little concerned it might inhibit his breathing (ribcage expansion) when he's working and breathing hard. How snugly should a vest fit? Should it be snug, tight, loose???

Where I stayed
I spent the night in a small, cosy hostel called Pacific Trade-winds and went out for a drink and a dance at a run down blues bar with the people form the hostel. The band were in their 60s and 70s but still knocked out some great tunes with a lot of energy. We stayed up pretty late then had to wake up not long after to catch the Champions League final. Not bothered who won, I stuck to winding up the supporters of the team that was at that point losing the match. Makes it much more interesting.
After the game I caught the train out to see the Varda family. It was fantastic to see them again, my cousins were now all grown up and with their fantastic new house came a very comfy couch, fridge full of food and a gigantic by humongous inch TV screen to make up for what luxuries I have missed over the last year and a half. My Aunty Kathryn made sure I was never without a cup of tea and lovely food, and for the few days I was there I enjoyed walking the dog, watching scrubs, catching up on sleep and telling them all about my travels. On the day of my flight to South America we went out to the coast for Fish and Chips, then back to the house to indulge on scones with cream and jam several cups of tea all in front of an old repeat of Lovejoy. A perfect English Sunday afternoon in America.
I said farewell and Kathryn sent me off to Peru armed with a bag of PG Tips and a box of Walker�s Shortbread.

I'll be the first to admit that I will never have a use or desire for a 100 round mag. It is just not practical for me in any circumstance. 4 , 30 round clips are much better for me. I can't handle a weapon if that is invloved. So since I will never even want to use one should I just say ok ban that?
MY answer is no. Just because it is not part of my choice that does not mean someone else should not be able to have it.
Other's thoughts.

Free personalized radio that
plays the music you love
Chris Thile & Michael Daves
In addition to his work as a solo artist, Thile has been part of Nickel Creek, with siblings Sara Watkins and Sean Watkins, for more than ten years. He helped Nickel Creek earn a pair of Grammy nominations for a self-titled debut album, which was released by Sugar Hill in 2000 and claimed a niche in Billboard's country Top 20. Their sophomore effort, 2002's This Side, later nabbed the group's first Grammy win for Best Contemporary Folk Album. In 2001, Thile took home the title of Mandolin Player of the Year from the Instrumental Bluegrass Music Association, while the band was honored as Instrumental Group of the Year. He and his bandmates were nominated that same year for the CMA's Vocal Group of the Year and the Horizon Award.
Thile started earning awards and championships years ago. He took home top honors in mandolin competitions in both Arizona and Kansas when he was 13, a time when he also received a nod from the International Bluegrass Music Association with a nomination for Player of the Year. He and Nickel Creek played during a Grammy Awards ceremony while backing country superstar Dolly Parton, and Thile and Sara Watkins made appearances in a Parton music video. Country Music Television also took notice of Thile and his fellow bandmembers, airing videos of the band's "When You Come Back Down" and "Reasons Why."
Initially, Nickel Creek also included Scott Thile, the mandolinist's bass-playing father. The elder Thile bowed out after the group launched its first album. The younger Thile acted as producer on Not All Who Wander Are Lost. Among the album's guest artists were the other two-thirds of Nickel Creek, Edgar Meyer, Jeff Coffin, Union Station's Jerry Douglas, and Béla Fleck. One of Thile's enduring influences, John Moore, was one of his first mandolin instructors during Thile's childhood in California and plays in the band Bluegrass Etc. Moore was formerly a member of California, a first-rate bluegrass band, along with Dan Crary and Byron Berline. (The trio Thile formed with the Watkins siblings borrows its name from a song written by Berline.)
Through this flurry of activity, Thile continued to record on his own, releasing Deceiver in the fall of 2004. The album showed him exploring a more progressive and experimental side of bluegrass music, instead of just the hotshot mandolin playing that marked his prior albums. The more organic-sounding but still eclectic How to Grow a Woman from the Ground followed in 2006 and earned Thile a Grammy nomination for Best Country Instrumental Performance. He recorded the album with the backing band the How to Grow a Band (with whom he later toured), which comprised Noam Pikelny, Gabe Witcher, Chris Eldridge, and Greg Garrison. The group officially changed its name to the Punch Brothers in 2007 and debuted Thile's ambitious 40-minute, four-movement suite, "The Blind Leaving the Blind," at Carnegie Hall. The entire suite, along with a handful of other tracks, appeared on 2008s Punch.
The year 2008 also saw the release of a collaboration for Nonesuch with Edgar Meyer titled Edgar Meyer & Chris Thile. A new Punch Brothers collection, Antifogmatic, arrived in 2010, followed by 2011's Sleep with One Eye Open, a collaboration with bluegrass guitarist Michael Daves. Another collaboration with Meyer, Bass & Mandolin, appeared in 2014. ~ Linda Seida, Rovi

Moffat County football dismantles Summit, 33-0
From the action on the field to the cheerleaders' and band's halftime performances, Moffat County would not be denied a good homecoming game. The Bulldogs turned a clinical defense performance into a 33-0 win over Summit County to complete a perfect homecoming week in varsity sports. After a slow offensive start which saw the Bulldogs punt and then turn the ball over, Moffat County got the spark it needed in the form of a turnover. While Summit running back Nic Berry was fighting for yardage in a pile, senior Garrett Stewart snuck in behind him and stripped the ball, then fell on it. On the next play, Michael Samuelson rumbled for 38 yards and the Bulldogs were in business.

I have a 14 week old chocolate lab and she has been doing well retreiving the canvas bumpers so I bought were a teal ATB/Duck bumper with a hanging head and throw cord with knob. It seems like she doesn't want to pick it up by the body but she will want to chew on the throw cord knob. Her mouth is big enough to fit the body as I can sort of force hold with her for a few seconds but we haven't started that training yet.
Is this something I should be concerned with or just she's too young and continue training with the canvas baby bumper.
Thanks ahead,

Behind Chevy's search for some Apple magic
DETROIT -- General Motors has a big obstacle to overcome to reach its goal of elevating the Chevrolet brand to Apple status: Young people simply are more interested in iPhones and iPads than Camaros and Cruzes.
At least, that's one conclusion GM drew from talking to some 9,000 young people over the past year to get feedback for two new Chevy concepts it unveiled at the show here Monday.
"Who really knows if it's really possible to make young people fall in love with an automotive brand the way they do with their phones, their laptops or their social networks," GM North America President Mark Reuss said Monday. "If there's a way to do it, Chevrolet is going to find it."
GM marketing chief Joel Ewanick first talked about GM's Apple envy last summer. Apple's reputation for innovation and its laser focus on the customer are traits that make it perhaps the world's most revered corporate brand.
But young people's natural inclination toward technology that connects them to their friends is a built-in advantage for companies such as Apple and Facebook when it comes to the cool factor.
54 percent of the young people GM surveyed would rather spend time on Facebook or Twitter than driving
Just 42 percent of them said they're interested in cars
A bunch of them -- GM didn't say how many -- didn't think much about Chevrolet one way or another.
Reuss vows to continue GM's dialogue with young people to figure out "what makes them tick."
For now, it appears the answer is smartphones and social media.

Enfusion 3: "Trial of the Gladiators" Fight Card for Sunday, December 2
- Written by Rian Scalia
Enfusion recently combined with the UK's Xplosion Fight Series to form Enfusion LIVE, and will launch a series of events next year. This weekend on December 2, the third season of the Enfusion kickboxing reality show comes to an end with the finals, featuring a one night, four man tournament with the 85kg finalists.
The format of the reality show is that fighters qualify for the finals by winning two fights. The four finalists are definitely some of the best fighters at 85kg, being Andrew Tate, Sahak Parparyan, Ritchie Hocking and Franci Grajs. Two semi finals will be fought and the winners of those fights will fight each other in the final.
It's Showtime 85kg champion Sahak Parparyan fights Slovenia's Franci Grajs, while Andrew Tate, who fought Sahak this year, faces Scotland's Ritchie Hocking. This is a pretty interesting tournament, as Grajs and Hocking are definitely less known than Sahak and Tate but they're no doubt good fighters and will provide tough tests and have the ability to cause upsets.
As well as a tournament with the male finalists, there's also a four man women's tournament featuring the show's coaches, in the same format as the men's tournament. Denise Kielholtz faces Lindsay Scheer in one semi final, and on the other side of the tournament, Chajmaa Bellakhal faces Lucy Payne, with the tournament being at 60kg.
The rest of the card features some Slovenian fighters, including Jasmin Becirovic taking on the tough veteran Wendell Roche. All tournament fights are K-1 rules.
75kg MT 3x3: Grega Smole vs. Miljan Vidovic
86kg MT 3x3: Tadej Toplak vs. Ivan Stanic
71kg MT 3x3: Mirko Vorkapic vs. Luke Whelan
Women's 60kg semi final: Chajmaa Bellakhal vs. Lucy Payne
Women's 60kg semi final: Denise Kielholtz vs. Lindsay Scheer
85kg semi final: Andrew Tate vs. Ritchie Hocking
85kg semi final: Sahak Parparyan vs. Franci Grajs

Like with most things, there has to be some middle ground between allowing cheap imports into the U.S. and protecting jobs at home. The U.S. International Trade Commission, which is an independent Federal agency, actually recommended that Obama impose duties for three years starting at 55% to counter tire imports from China, which have tripled over the last 4 years.
Contrary to what you think, U.S. tire companies do make cheap low cost tires. However, they have moved those operations to China and Mexico to take advantage of cheap wages and almost non-existent environmental regulations. The result has been that about 13 U.S. tire plants have been closed and about 15,000 U.S. workers have lost their jobs. Just last year, the Goodyear plant in Tyler, TX closed, putting 1,400 people out of work from its peak production. That plants operations went overseas. They were the 2nd largest employer in Tyler. They Tyler, TX plant made low cost tires for the replacement market.
During his presidential campaign, Obama outlined a new, progressive trade policy that would help domestic industries seeking relief from foreign competition. It looks like he is following through on that promise. Since the election, he has also pledged to avoid protectionism to avoid exacerbating the current global recession. Its going to be difficult walking the fine line between the two.

LIBYA: Evacuations from Misrata continue amid violence
The International Organization for Migration (IOM) plans to evacuate up to 1,000 third-country nationals by ship from Misrata today. The ship picked up medical equipment, food and other supplies provided by aid groups in Benghazi yesterday for delivery to Misrata. According to the Libyan Red Crescent, 6,000 third-country nationals are still unable to leave Misrata due to lack of funding as well as continued hostilities between pro-Qaddafi and opposition forces.
"The situation on the ground is critical for a large number of people who immediately need food, clean water and emergency medical assistance," said ERC Valerie Amos in a statement on 6 April 2011. She stressed the need for cessation of hostilities to allow humanitarian actors access to those trapped in Misrata.
As violent attacks continue for the fifth consecutive week, humanitarian actors are concerned about the killing of medical personnel and children due to indiscriminate shelling, sniper fire and intensified hostilities in both Misrata and Ajdabiya. UNICEF reported that at least 20 children have been killed and many more injured, and Human Rights Watch says that Government forces had been repeatedly targeting a medical clinic in Misrata since 23 March. The Arab Medical Union reported the deaths of two doctors and the kidnapping of four others since 21 February.
The Cluster approach for the coordination of humanitarian response has been activated for this crisis, covering Emergency Telecommunications, Food Security, Health, Logistics, Protection, Shelter/NFI and Water and Sanitation. Islamic Relief and WFP are coordinating a shipment of humanitarian supplies to Misrata, and International Medical Corps have delivered medical supplies to Misrata with a second shipment to come on 15 April 2011.
There is still limited access to major urban centres like Misrata and other large areas of Libya. According to the Financial Tracking Services, the $310 million Flash Appeal for the Libyan Crisis is currently only 39 per cent funded.

Judging two grands I never picked a dog up on the way to or from the line, and only dinged one for the trip. I did pick one dog up at the line for barking from the time he got there until the time that he tried to jump on the honor dog. Out of all the dogs that I looked at through two grands those are the only two worth mentioning.
As far as looking for the best of the best,well therein lies the moving target. The best dog doesn't always pass the grand, and there again the term best is subjective. For me personally the two best dogs that I have ever owned and raised so far (mother and son) will never see a grand because historically the grand doesn't favor that type of dog and they are doing something else. That is the mother in the avatar.

>Here is something I picked up from my Wood Badge course back in 2005. I stumbled on it again the other day as I was going through course material in preparation for the upcoming Wood Badge course… thought I'd share it. Enjoy.
The Present
Imagine there is a bank that credits your account each morning with $86,400. It carries over no balance from day to day. Every evening deletes whatever part of the balance you failed to use during the day. What would you do? Draw out every cent, of course!!!!
Each of us has such a bank. Its name is TIME. Every morning, it credits you with 86,400 seconds. Every night it writes off, as lost, whatever of this you have failed to invest to good purpose. It carries over no balance. It allows no overdraft. Each day it opens a new account for you. Each night it burns the remains of the day. If you fail to use the day's deposits, the loss is yours. There is no going back. There is no drawing against the "tomorrow".
You must live in the present on today's deposits. Invest it so as to get from it the utmost in health, happiness, and success! The clock is running. Make the most of today.

And remember that time waits for no one. Yesterday is history Tomorrow is mystery Today is a gift That's why it's called the present!!

"My husband and I purchased an armoire, night stands, and a bible stand from your company early this year. Of course, I had a specific look in mind for our newly built home that would have to match my pine log bed. After a very exhausting internet and furniture store search for just the right furniture and being ready to give up, I stumbled onto your website on my last search thru the internet.

"Here we go again, another L.A. movie star quarterback who needs his own day to throw," said a veteran scout. Informed Barkley is injured, the scout replied, "I'm telling you, it's always [something] with guys from down there ... not just USC, the whole area. I don't know what it is." Added an NFL team executive, "And you wonder why guys from Southern California (are bad)? Everything is like they have to draw attention to themselves."

Keenan Allen isn't even necessarily my #3 right now. I'm leaning toward Markus Wheaton for that spot. I really do see a Santonio Holmes there, except with DeSean Jackson's pure speed. I have a lot of respect for Quinton Patton, Terrance Williams and Keenan Allen, and those are probably the three that are duking it out for #4, #5 and #6. And Allen may be closer to #6 than #4.
As for Denard Robinson, I respect your gut feel on the catching. You could easily be right. I saw enough in the route running at the Senior Bowl though (natural ability not necessarily refinement) that I'd have to stick with him at wide receiver and just see if it worked out.

It still confuses me that there's such strong disagreement on his arm strength. I've clocked his arm on a lot of different throws at a lot of different distances. It's not quite Ryan Tannehill, but it's a lot closer to Ryan Tannehill than it is Kellen Moore which is an absurd comparison I recently heard sourced from an anonymous general manager.

Jarvis Jones won't workout at the combine.
Stedman Bailey's unique ability to play bigger than his size is found in the measurements.
He measured in at 5' 10 1/4 " -- 193 pounds -- with 32 3/4" arms -- and nearly 10" hands. Those are the arm/hand measurements that are pretty standard for a 6'2" receiver.
Ignorant question: what separates Denard Robinson from Pat White?

Queen Amidala Theed Celebration - no contest!
Queen Amidala Theed Celebration - no contest!
Well while I would like some more background characters as well. I can't get past the lack of Padme figures. So my vote goes for her.
More is more. Less is less, Twice as much is good too,
Too much is never enough except when it's just about right.
People who have helped me out: DarthChuckMc, msjedi, bobafett07728, jjreason, dr_evazan22
As nice as extra handmaidens would be, Natalie Portman just looked way to hot in the celebration dress. And although it can't look as hot as Natalie, I'll still vote for Queen Amidala Theed Celebration
[FONT=Book Antiqua]He passes to Moses - He shoots, he scores![/FONT]
Mummy of the raincoat is a gigantic trollop.
Although there are some nice possibilities there (Gungan woman with child at the forefront), I can't pass up Queen Amidala.
Unless one possibility you left off were on the list: Funeral Pyre Qui-Gon.
That's my jacket!
Queen Amidala Theed Ceremony gets my vote. It IS a needed staple in many people's dioramas. I'd buy 2 of this figure if I could.
See my Collection of Figures at:
Chazz's Loose Collection
Good Trader: InsaneJediGirl, Lowly Bantha Cleaner, Hellboy
"If either one of these two goes Super Saiyan, I'm going home." -pinkfloyd, on the Matrix trilogy
No question, Queen Amidala Theed Celebration.
Tycho, I would have thought Gardulla the Hutt might have been a choice. Was she disqualified as a deluxe figure?
DROID, I'd thought about Gardulla myself. Funeral Pyre Qui-Gon as well. I'll put these aside for a group of Ultra-Figures we could vote on. So far I've thought of 6 -taken from both prequel movies. I suppose I'll save them for after we get through the E2 waves. I also thought of at least 10 Classic Ultra Figures we could have as well. Originally I'd conceived about 18 groups of figures we could vote on (we're almost done with 5) but with Ultra possibilities, we could go up to over 21.
Since we could have run-offs for "most wanted prequel figure," and "most wanted Classic figure," not to mention "most wanted per movie figure," I figure I should ask how detailed you want me to go.
Ultimately I think I'll list ALL the vote-getters and rank them by who got the most votes to sort of make a priority-for-production list.
Right now I think I should first go through all the movies, and the ultra-possibilities, so that way if I forget anyone, we'll have the chance to add them into any per-movie runoffs, or prequel or classic runoffs.
While you're voting, you guys can tell me what you think.
BAD Pts Need: R5-C7 lf leg (x2), , R4-P44 right leg BAD Pts Offered For Trade: PM me - I have lots of parts now including BG-J38!. New Kyle Katarn is also available.
Definitely do a per movie most wanted figure component of this!
Last Round: I'll go with the majority on this one and vote for the much needed Senator Yarua.
Current Round: Again I doubt these little guys have a chance at winning but I've gotta vote for the Federation Pick-up Droid. They're so small you could probably pack 3 or 4 of them into one blister or maybe just 2 with some misc. Battle Droid parts. The possibilites are endless.
Tycho- I think going through all the movies first and ultimately having a priority-for-production list is a good idea. But really you can run it any way you want and I'll still have fun participating.
Talk Show Host Interviewing Joker: Your said to have only killed about 600 people Joker. Now dont take this the wrong way but I think youve been holding out on us.
Joker: I dont keep count. Im going to kill everyone in this room.

The idea would be that you can use the right tool for the right job.
Good point, but sometimes it's just fun to have all in one solutions.

Kurzweil K2000
The K2000 uses V.A.S.T. (Variable Architecture Synthesis Technology) which allows you to take any multi-sample, noise or waveform and process it using just about any synthesis technique. The source of these multi-samples are from the 8MB of ROM which hold tons of authentic and superb quality samples. The internal processing is 32-bit with 18-bit DACs. The K2000 uses 31 sound-shaping algorithms to provide a variety of resonant filters, EQs, continuous panning, amplitude modulation, crossfade, distortion, digital wrap, waveshaper, pulse width modulation, high frequency enhancement, low frequency oscillators, hard sync oscillators and mixing oscillators, all with real-time MIDI control.
It's a beautiful synth with an elegant and organized layout and very high quality pitch and mod wheels! Not to mention a 61-note velocity & aftertouch sensitive keyboard with a quality feel and response to playing. The K2000s adds a quality sampler with standard 2MB RAM that can be expanded to 64MB. Sample in stereo or mono, via analog or digital inputs and you have all the sample edit functions you'll need to create some of your own sounds. Use the built-in 3.5" disk drive or connect an external drive to the SCSI port for limitless sample storage (an internal SCSI connection also allows for a hard disk drive inside).
Other professional features include stereo multi-effects capable of four simultaneous effects including reverb, chorus, delay, multi-tap delay, flange, rotary simulation and more. Up to six polyphonic audio outputs. There's also the 32-Track sequencer, fully editable, with features like 768 ppq resolution and nondestructive track editing and groove quantizing.
The K2000rs (pictured below) is the rack-mount version of the K2000s. Offering all of the same great sounds, power and features as the keyboard version. The K2000's keyboard is excellent and feels great to play, but if you don't need the extra keys the 3-space rack-module is an excellent instrument.

Life is going well in NZ. My job is enjoyable - thoroughly so - and I'm learning lots every day. Very little open source work done lately as I need to check the T&Cs of my contract to see if I'm okay. I'm sure there is no problem but I need to check first.
Our application for permanent residence here is going well. I submitted our expression of interest back on 21 March and we were successful on 6th April which is quite quick really. I was expecting it to take a few months. I'm still waiting for the ITA form to come through by post which seems to be taking some time. I'm guessing that receiving it is really the long part of the process.
I hope it comes through quickly as my wife and daughter are still in the Philippines and I'm missing them so much. We could apply for a visitors visa for her, but we have other obligations which need to be met in the immediate future (too much detail to go into here). Still, we chat every day by email and video chat. I've even managed to play games with Louise by webcam which ranks as a good achievement. It's not the same as being with her but it's the best I can do right now.

Alternate name: Muhlenberg's Turtle
Family: Emydidae, Pond and Box Turtles view all from this family
Description Head dark brown-black, bright yellow, orange/ red spot on each side of its neck. The spot is often forked, facing posteriorly. Dark skin color with an orange-red wash on the inside of the legs of some individuals. The carapace is domed and rectangular in shape, and it tends to be narrower toward the head and wider toward the tail. Carapace has rings on scutes.
Dimensions 7.6-11.4cm. (3-4 1/2")
Endangered Status The Bog Turtle is on the U.S. Endangered Species List. The northern population is classified as threatened in Connecticut, Delaware, Massachusetts, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania. The southern population, found in Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia, is not considered threatened but receives protection under the Endangered Species Act as a population similar in appearance to a threatened population. Bog Turtles have declined throughout their range because of loss of wetland habitat. Development, water-management practices, agriculture, and road building have all contributed to altering their habitats and to impeding the turtles' access to new habitats. This turtle has also suffered at the hands of collectors, as it is coveted in the pet trade because of its small size, attractive coloration, and even because of its rarity. Some experts believe that the northern population should be reclassified as endangered and the southern as threatened.
Breeding Mature at 5-7 years. Breeds in Spring, lays eggs in June. 1-6 eggs in a clutch.
Habitat Calcareous wetlands (areas containing lime), including meadows, bogs, marshes, and spring seeps, that have both wet and dry regions.
Range Eastern United States.
Discussion Active April-October. Diet includes tadpoles, slugs, snails and insects. Often seen basking in the sun in springtime. Hides under vegetation or mud to avoid hot periods. Buries itself in mud in winter.

An idea to bring together all the different people and all the spoken/written languages in the world:
A universal dictionary that focuses on the meaning rather than the word. A dictionary that gives a universally unique ID to a very specific definition/concept that is normally represented by a word. Then different words from different languages that matches precisely to the meaning will be referenced to it, with similar/related terms also referenced to it. In any case, the definition is explained in every language possible, but not every language needs to have a word that represents the definition. For example, the French word terroir, as I understand, has no precise equivalent in the English language, or the Japanese word umami, for a taste that is imparted by MSG, doesn't have equivalents in most other languages either. We can possibly explain it, but some language somewhere in the world has a concise term for it.
Why should we try to do this? Well, my reasoning is to have this dictionary available to be almost like a modern day rosetta stone that will allow us to translate information and understand each other more easily. With a dictionary such as this, the definition, and not the word is the focus, and therefore it is less likely that things "get lost in the translation" or lose their significance in context through time (Actually, I think I'm probably wrong on both of these).
The dictionary will also be extremely self-dependent and recursive (meaning, the terms to be used to do the explanations will need to refer to other entries in the dictionary, and at some point, you need to have intrinsic words that are simple and atomic in concept)
Some of the problems would obviously be political and how to differentiate subtle meaning differences and how to handle imprecise and precise synonyms (meaning completely the same meaning or slightly different meanings).
This dictionary can be very useful because unlike normal dictionaries that try to match words, it will match meanings, and therefore be much more precise. It can be used for programming, for example, where words can be easily substituted for a different language by using that language's word/representation for that meaning, and the program only needs to specify which meaning to use in its place. There are a few caveats here too, of course...but for the most part, I think it could work pretty well.
Oh, FYI, my idea was inspired by reading this article on xml.com

Some of the leading homebuilder stocks are falling this morning — Lennar Corp. (LEN) PulteGroup (PHM) ad D.R. Horton (DHI) are among the biggest decliners on the Standard & Poor's 500 index. Part of that is doubtless a reaction to their climb of the past few days, but doubtless also due to Wednesday's news that home building contracted last month:
Housing starts decreased 3% last month from October to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 861,000, the Commerce Department said Wednesday. Since November 2011, new home construction was up 21.6%.
Construction of single-family homes, which made up two-thirds of housing starts last month, dropped 4.1% in November to a rate of 565,000 units. Single-family construction was up 22.8% from a year earlier.
The figures were below expectations. Economists surveyed by Dow Jones Newswires had forecast overall housing starts would drop to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 865,000, which would have been a 3.2% decline from October's previously reported figures.
But that may not necessarily be the whole picture — there was some good real estate construction news today, if you were looking for it.

- Jan. 19, 2012: Jury finds Cash guilty of attempted first-degree murder
- April 6, 2012: Judge sentences Cash to 38 years in prison
Steamboat Springs Steamboat Springs resident Robert Cash was sentenced to 38 years in prison Friday for crimes against his former wife that Judge Shelley Hill described as unthinkable and tantamount to torture.
"She is a victim of every single minute of every single day, and that is an impossible life to live," Hill said in her Routt County Justice Center courtroom.
On Jan. 19, a 12-member jury found Cash, 57 at the time, guilty of attempted first-degree murder for shooting his then-wife Rhonda Heaton in the back of the neck on June 11, 2010, at their west Steamboat Springs home.
Heaton told jurors during the trial that Cash refused to call an ambulance after shooting her and that he continued to check on her in their bedroom to see if she had died. She testified that Cash said he shot her "so you can't destroy anyone's life like mine." The couple was going through a divorce and was in the process of losing their home to foreclosure. Cash recently had lost his job, as well.
Cash also was found guilty of domestic violence and crime of violence, which is a sentence enhancer resulting from Cash having used a deadly weapon. He faced a minimum sentence of 16 years in prison and a maximum sentence of 48 years.
Routt County Chief Deputy District Attorney Rusty Prindle asked Hill to impose the maximum sentence because it would give Heaton some piece of mind that she would never be harmed again.
"She was trapped, terrified and helpless knowing that Robert Cash had just shot her, knowing that Robert Cash was still in the house, knowing that Robert Cash had a gun and wanted her to die," Prindle said.
Heaton testified during the trial but did not speak at Friday's sentencing. Instead, District Attorney Elizabeth Oldham read a statement on her behalf.
Heaton wrote that she cannot keep her balance, has constant pain, memory problems and post-traumatic stress disorder and can no longer feel her hands or feet.
"I can no longer feel my children's faces or hands," she wrote. "My children have nightmares of me being dead, and they feel guilty that they were not there."
Heaton wrote that she no longer trusts people, has panic attacks daily, screams uncontrollably and has nightmares of Cash killing her.
"He haunts me now, and the thought of him on the streets would be intolerable," Heaton wrote.
Heaton stated she is no longer able to work, owes $5,000 to the government and cannot afford her medication or pay medical and credit card bills. She said she is bankrupt but cannot afford to declare bankruptcy.
"I had to pay $5,000 to an attorney for a divorce from a man who tried to kill me," Heaton wrote.
The 38-year sentence came despite a plea from Routt County Public Defender Sheryl Uhlmann for a sentence of between 16 and 20 years. She told the court that Cash was referred to by some as "the gentle giant" who worked at City Market and had no significant criminal history or a history of violence.
"That was his reputation in this community up to this offense," Uhlmann said.
She argued that older people with no criminal history were less likely to commit future offenses after incarceration and told the court it costs taxpayers $32,300 per year to keep a person in prison.
Cash, who testified in his own defense during the trial and said the shooting was an accident, spoke before being sentenced Friday.
"I am just sorry for what happened," Cash said. "I wish I could change things, but I can't. I pray for Rhonda every day."
Cash was given credit for 660 days already served. Hill did not say when or if Cash would be eligible for parole.

Looking back
Now that I'm settling in here in Cardiff, it's time to look back at the very busy past year or so.
Back in August 2006 Familiar 0.8.4 was released. I had been working effectively full time towards that release for a couple of months (apart from RoboCup induced interruptions). It was a fairly successful maintenance release which added support for several new hardware platforms. I'm well aware of a number of issues with 0.8.4 but it's basically as good as an OE-using niche-distro gets. Sure, you can upgrade stuff here and there, fix the one or the other bug, but at the same time equally many pending upgrades and bugs pop up at the other end of the tree.
Note that I was one of the most enthusiastic proponents of OE in a discussion earlier in 2006 but handling most of the builds for the 0.8.4 release changed my perspective quite a bit and made it perfectly clear to me that for significant improvements Famliar would need something different.
The post-0.8.4 period also marked the end of the first year of my two year project at university. There, it was similarly clear that a change in direction was needed (never underestimate a robotics problem...) and that it would require significant efforts to turn the (then vague) plan into reality. I basically put all non-university activities on hold as a result.
I was involved in some of the planning for Familiar 0.9 though and I do indeed have a fairly precise idea of how I would like to see it implemented (from scratch by the way). Those plans, however, rely on infrastructure bits which as of today haven't fallen into place yet. The distro-engineering parts as such could be done fairly quickly - I do have a working (significantly improved) new base system which took 3 evening sessions to put together. From there it's probably just a matter of a week all the way up to X (including window manager, etc.). Oh, and we'd get virtually any piece of non-handheld-specific software packaged for free.
Why haven't those plans taken off yet? Honestly, I don't know. It's probably a combination of a lack of time and an after-you-after-you problem among the involved developers. Certain other events of this past year have destroyed a bunch of trust relationships and made communication difficult.
At the same time in a different universe... We made excellent progress with the two year project at university. The project schedule was ambitious, but apart from a few minor issues we successfully reached our goal and presented our results in mid-July. The project report is now also finished and the only thing left for me to do for my degree (Diplom) is writing my thesis. I've even talked to a potential supervisor already and we've agreed on a (rough) topic. I just love it when a plan comes together.
At the same time in yet another universe... I decided to spend two semesters at a university in a foreign country through the Erasmus programme. That also worked out just fine in the end and I'm now studying Computer Science with Distributed and Mobile Systems at Cardiff University. So far, lectures have been interesting and nicely complement stuff I've already done at my home university in Bremen.
So, what about Familiar? I've had a few days off during Freshers' week (I'm taking 3rd year modules) and used a tiny fraction of that time to catch up on what's happened in the Linux-on-handhelds realm during the past 6 months. And, yeah, I still believe there's a need for a distro like Familiar - with a strong focus on end users, secure, reliable software and working upgrade paths. This is especially true since projects that set out to replace Familiar simply don't appear to deliver. Quite frankly, I hate to see so many users left out in the cold. Realistically, however, my schedule here isn't much less busy than back in Germany. And I also have to prepare stuff for my thesis.
Long story short, I'm going to continue concentrating on my studies and no longer consider Familiar a project I'm actively involved with. I wish the remaining Familiar developers and competing projects all the best. Put out some great products for me to find when I check back after graduation!
And so it has begun
New toys for the RoboCup community
I noticed today that the Four-Legged-League has been renamed to Standard Platform League and will be using a new humanoid robot at future competitions. There isn't a whole lot information available about the Aldebaran Nao but it definitely makes me wish I was starting with my 2 year project now (rather than being almost finished) so I could join the local team.
Why is a standard humanoid platform so exciting? If you've ever worked with robotics hardware and prototypes in particular, you'll know only too well that you rarely get to do the stuff you want to. There's always one hardware component or another that fails on you, not to speak of the usual pain of (systematically) incorrect sensor readings. A standard platform makes sure that everyone has the same starting point and (ideally) allows people to concentrate on algorithmic work rather than developing and fixing hardware.
GNU Octave
I've recently been doing algorithm prototyping in GNU Octave. Although not fully compatible with Matlab, it usually interprets code written for Matlab correctly. Some functionality (specialized functions) is missing but usually slightly different but equally capable replacements are available.
I must say I'm impressed with how quickly you can develop mathematical algorithms in Matlab/Octave. Basically, you're all done at about the same time you'd start debugging your matrix library in any other language. It's definitely an approach people in computer science in general and robotics in particular should use more often.
Octave uses gnuplot for plotting but hides the gory gnuplot details from you which is really pleasant. On the other hand, if you're used to computer algebra systems such as Maple or GNU Maxima it feels a bit odd to plot a set of points rather than a (symbolic description) of a function. Considering the internal representation of a function in Matlab/Octave it does however make sense the way it's implemented.
Now on to the next algorithm on the list of algorithms to evaluate...
Not dead
I don't know how many people read this or how many care, but I'm in fact very much alive. I'm in the process of finishing off the second last assigment for this semester (apart from a to-be-written report for my 2 year project and the usual exams). The weird thing is it's actually the last regular semester for me, afterwards I'll just have to write my thesis.
What else have I been up to? I've accepted a job at the robotics lab for the next couple of months, where I'll be doing some interesting probabilistic robotics and vision stuff, apart from (real) embedded development. Real as in not just another PC crammed into a cubic inch which is a more adequate description for most consumer devices that people like to label embedded.
Speaking of which... I stopped reading mail on my personal account (the one that receives mail from mailing lists and anything open source related) months ago. I haven't decided whether to get back into the loop yet. Given the fact that my schedule for the next months won't leave much spare time it's at least not going to happen very soon.
Of course there's also a good side to this break, in fall it will hopefully be clear whether a bunch of other projects will be able to deliver what they promise or not. Once that's out of the way it will be a lot easier to evaluate the purposefulness of my involvement in Familiar and related projects.
PS: All courses and the final presentation of our 2 year project went well. So, yeah, life is good :)
I noticed this while including stuff by line numbers (using lstinputlisting from the excellent listings package) in a LaTeX document. Should I be worried now?
$ wc -l kernel/bs2_syscalls2.c 666 kernel/bs2_syscalls2.c
Update: After a cleanup the code is now a bit shorter.
Minimo 0.2
I've finally got around to updating our Minimo recipe (plus patches) for Minimo 0.2. The resulting package is available from the Familiar unstable feed.
New HTML Parser: The long-awaited libxml2 based HTML parser code is live. It needs further work but already handles most markup better than the original parser.
Keep up with the latest Advogato features by reading the Advogato status blog.

Greenway Crossing Montessori School threatened by foreclosure
Court-appointed receiver orders school to vacate property
MADISON, Wis. - A foreclosure is threatening the future of the Greenway Crossing Montessori School in Madison.
Parents are worried they'll be forced to find a new school for their children.
The school's landlord is going through foreclosure and the court-appointed receiver is ordering the school to vacate the property.
A recent letter warned the school that it and the 144 children had to be out by next week.
Mother Alissa Geurink said Greenway Crossing Montessori School has been life-changing.
"(The school) is so exciting as a parent. My son was just not fitting into a traditional daycare environment," Geurink said.
Her 6-year-old son, Alex, had severe speech problems -- a disorder called apraxia.
"He wasn't talking -- everything was 'der' or 'daa,'" Geurink said.
In four years at Greenway Crossing, Alex blossomed. But now the school that changed her son's life is facing eviction.
"There isn't a single night that I haven't cried," Geurink said.
"It just doesn't make sense," said Michi Schroeder, of Greenway Crossing Montessori School.19212994
The school survived a fire a year and a half ago. With the landlord going through foreclosure, the school has been forced to spend thousands to pay for repairs that the landlord hasn't done.
"We're also taking care of the snow removal outside, which is supposed to be the landlord as well. We're paying for the garbage removal," Schroeder said.
The receiver who's ordering the eviction, a Madison-area attorney, didn't return WISC-TV's calls Wednesday as to why the school was being forced to vacate the property.
The school is now wondering what its future will be.
"It is very stressful, but if we survived the fire, I think we can survive this," Schroeder said.
Parents said they're doing all they can to spread the word about the good this school does. They're also fundraising to try to keep the school open.
"It's going to have a big impact on the community. We need to get this information out. We need to save this school," Geurink said.
People can find more information on the Facebook campaign to help save the school at this Facebook page.

i actually like using the Arduino software to compile stuff.. it gives errors nicely right there, and its easy to upload once the compilation is successful. also, i'd prefer not to have to deal with re-solving the problems the arduino has already solved (mainly building + uploading the firmware)
i'm fine using Textmate for text editing, and Arduino for compiling and uploading... with the addition of a couple simple features, it would be much easier to do so. Also, then the process isnt Textmate specific... you could use any text editor you want!
