On September 11, 2001, terrorists attacked the United States in New York, Pennsylvania and Washington DC. Almost 3000 people lost their lives in these attacks. In NYC, 4 buildings were classified as "completely destroyed" at the World Trade Center.
Buildings collapsed & destroyed:
The focus from the media has primarily been on the destruction of the two gleaming twin towers of the World Trade Center. This site was created to provide a forum for the survivors and families of victims from the "forgotten" Marriott building which was also destroyed.
The Marriott Hotel at 3 World Trade Center was nestled between the twin towers and served as the mouth of a tunnel, a runway in and out of the burning towers for perhaps a thousand or more people.
No precise number of casualties for the Marriott exists, but according to The New York Times, it is estimated that over "50 people inside the hotel were killed.
At least 41 of those were firefighters, and the number could be much higher." Joseph Keller, the executive housekeeper and another Marriott employee, Abdu A. Malahi, perished in the attacks. As for guests, 11 of the 940 registered guests that day were "unaccounted for," said Cathy Duffy, a spokeswoman for Marriott. It is not known if they died in the building or were elsewhere in the complex. Family members have identified two guests who perished in the hotel. No remains of the people trapped in the lobby have ever been identified.
It is our goal to bring together the hundreds of individuals who were in the Marriott World Trade Center on Sept 11. We need a central location to share our unheard stories.
There are still many unanswered questions and hopefully, this site will help provide a place for all the Marriott survivors to get information.

News Releases, Media Advisories
For Immediate Release: Contact: Ron Harris March 15, 1999 Sharon Snyder Ian Stirton Kelly Huff
WASHINGTON The Federal Election Commission will conduct a public hearing on Wednesday, March 17, on proposed revisions to its rules governing who qualifies as a "member" of a membership organization.

The rules would require, for example, that membership organizations be vested in some or all of its members. The proposal would also require that members pay annual dues in an amount set by the organization, or renew their membership in writing on an annual basis.
The comment period ended February 1, 1999. The public hearing on Wednesday is the next step in the rulemaking process.

By Parrish Alford/NEMS Daily Journal
OXFORD – In a bit of role reversal, Charles Sawyer saw from Mississippi State players what the Bulldogs must have seen in Sawyer and his Ole Miss teammates a year ago.
Sawyer saw the Bulldogs pack it in.
That was the way Ole Miss players performed, admittedly, in a 31-3 loss at MSU in 2011.
That was the third game after the firing for former coach Houston Nutt had been announced, and the Rebels were outscored 110-13 in that span.
"Our mindset toward the end of the year was that we really didn't have much to play for," offensive tackle Emmanuel McCray said. "Once we got down, we didn't have anybody to pull us up."
Fast forward to 2012, and it was the Bulldogs that had fallen and couldn't get up.
Not to the same level, of course. There's no impending coaching search in Starkville, and the Bulldogs, like the Rebels, are anxiously awaiting bowl announcements.
But as the deficit widened for MSU at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium Saturday night, Sawyer saw less intensity from the Bulldogs.
"I felt them giving up, kind of. It wasn't going their way. You could tell by their demeanor, how they ran their routes, how they blocked you. You could just tell, and as our offense kept scoring, it got easier and easier," said Sawyer.
The junior cornerback led Ole Miss with nine tackles and broke up three passes. This after his status was questionable during the week after sustaining a shoulder injury in a 41-35 loss at No. 8 LSU the week before.
One of Sawyer's pass break-ups came with State facing fourth-and-1 from the Ole Miss 18. Dak Prescott attempted a jump pass looking for Chad Bumphis on a slant, but Sawyer knocked it away to help Ole Miss keep at 17-14 lead at the time.
On the Bulldogs' next possession, a blown coverage resulted in a 68-yard gain for Bumphis. It would have been a touchdown had Sawyer not caught Bumphis and brought him down at the 7. The Ole Miss defense stiffened, and State settled for a field goal.
"We played a lot of guys this year, a lot banged up left and right. I'm just proud of those guys as a team, even through those three losses," defensive coordinator Dave Wommack said. "Somehow in my heart I feel like the Good Lord thought we were supposed to lose those three so we could win this sixth one. I really believe that."
The Bulldogs finished with 333 yards, but had netted only 258 by the time Ole Miss had built a 41-17 lead with 3 minutes, 27 seconds to play.
That's when the Rebels kept the ball in front of them, and the Bulldogs marched methodically down the field, finally scoring with 7 seconds left on Prescott's 8-yard pass to Bumphis.
The Rebels wanted to pressure starting quarterback Tyler Russell and wanted to stop the MSU run game. They were successful on both fronts, sacking Russell three times and hitting him many others, and holding the Bulldogs to 30 rushing yards on 25 carries.
For Sawyer, the victory was one to savor.
"You work so hard, and you know you deserve it, but you've got to be thankful for it. It's a great feeling," he said. "Three years in a row (Ole Miss had lost), it's not just us, it's the fans. It's great for them to experience what we're experiencing.
"I'm glad they stayed by our side."

UW Rock Co. considers building residence hall
Dean says dorm could attract more out-of-state students
JANESVILLE, Wis. - University of Wisconsin Rock County leaders are hoping to provide students with more options as they get an education.
A growing commuter-student base has the university looking at expanding.
UW Rock County is considering building a 120-bed residence hall to help commuter students such as Trevor Kubly, who travels from Monroe to UW Rock County to attend class.
One potential location for the residence hall is on the south side of campus. Dean Carmen Wilson said nearly half of the UW System's two-year colleges have residence halls or are planning them.
"Students who live on campus tend to have higher graduation and retention rates than students who live off campus, so it would be good for our current students as well," Wilson said.
Wilson said UW Rock County attracts international students but loses them because the college doesn't offer housing.
She said the college's new tuition agreement coupled with a dorm would attract more out-of-state students.
"They can actually come here and pay less to come to UW Rock County than they would pay in-state in Illinois," Wilson said.
Students who support the idea said the convenience could simplify their lives and give them a more traditional college experience.18347778
"I think it will also bring the community closer because I did stay in dorms at Marquette and you get to make friends and absorb the environment more and get more involved on campus, instead of your class is done and just go straight home and don't think about this place until tomorrow," said Alex Saazar, of South Beloit.
"It would give me a nice place to do all of my homework, and I could just lock my door and say, 'Go away, I got to do stuff,'" Kubly said.
The reaction to the idea has been positive so far. The dean plans to host some forums on campus in the next month to get more feedback from students and staff on the project.
Wilson estimates the dorm would cost $4 million to $5 million. She said that if approved, it could open in the fall of 2014.

Harnessing the Power of Partnerships to Address Ocean Acidification
Posted On September 9, 2013 by Julia Roberson
Today, the X Prize Foundation will announce something truly groundbreaking: a competition, sponsored by Wendy Schmidt, to address ocean acidification. Can I tell you how excited this makes me? There are people sitting up and paying attention to acidification, to the threat it poses to the ocean, and to the people and businesses that rely on a healthy ocean, in a way that didn't exist just a few years ago.
Ocean acidification is a big deal—some say it is one of the biggest challenges we face—an ever-changing ocean as a result of carbon pollution from factories, cars and power plants being absorbed by the ocean, turning it more acidic. This means that animals like oysters, clams and mussels have trouble building the very shells needed for their survival.
So as we struggle to reduce carbon pollution, what can be done on ocean acidification? We must rely on monitoring and research to inform science and local responses.

You keep using this word.
I know I have a lot of historian and/or textile-inclined friends, so I was wondering if anyone has ever heard the word "stitch" used to mean "stitched textile goods", in contexts like, "The importance of stitch during World War II…"?
I ask because it keeps being used that way in the book I'm reading: "Stitching for Victory" by Suzanne Griffith. I thought I read a fair bit of textile history and I've never encountered this usage before. Is it just this author's idiosyncracy, or am I missing something?
(This post brought to you by a half-assed resolution to blog things that are too long for Twitter, rather than spreading them across two or three tweets.)

The First Midwest Bank is an awful place to see a concert. In order to save money they have cut the security down to the point where crowd control is impossible. If you paid for good seats forget about it. You will be fighting over your seat with somebody from the lawn who came down with very little effort. The people who run that place have run it into the ground. I live in Tinley Park and I will never see a concert there again.
11:24 AM, Jan 21, 2010
i'm sort of in agreeance with everyone, yet not 100%. Yes, the band does bring all their equipment, and they help design where/how they want the speakers. if you were in the pavilion, that's your problem. you're completely on the side, if you were in the house or lawn you could hear. also, the weather makes it difficult sometimes because when it's rainy or windy the sound quality isn't great. i work here and i know that there is someone that walks around with a laptop monitoring the sound and they are in communication with the sound board making adjustments as needed. yes, every venue definitely is different, but that's not the only thing that alters the quality of the sound. i have worked concerts where they have had rounded speakers pointing in every direction, once again that is up to the artist/managers to decide. i know there have been plenty of concerts where sound wasn't the best, once again this is due to speakers, or weather, or other issues and one may be how the theater is built, but that is not the only issue.
11:34 AM, Nov 04, 2009
mrpotato: No, it's not the band. Yes, a lot of bands bring their own sound system in, but that doesn't mean it will sound good. The way the venue was built has everything to do with the sound. Alpine Valley has a wood shell, thus the sound is a lot better. They changed the sound system back when it was the Tweeter Center due to countless complaints but it still isn't where it should be. The Dave Matthews Band has one of the best sound systems around right now yet they still sound like crap at this place unless your in sections 102-103-104.
07:35 PM, Oct 23, 2009
Someday people will realize that THE BANDS produce the sound and put up THEIR own speakers. They control the sound board, not the venue. The restroom lines are long, the beer isnt cheap. but if it involves the sound , blame the band.
08:02 PM, Apr 20, 2009
I saw Aerosmith there in 2002. They put on a kick ass performance as always, but the sound system was terrible. The speakers point straight out from the stage so if you're off to the side(in the pavilion like we were) you can't tell what song there playing unless you're already familiar with it. They need to flare the speakers out like at alpine valley and other venues so everybody can get decent sound. I vowed to never go there again until they make vast improvements.

Being that I haven't opened my VOTC version (in case I decide to return it), I'm having a tough time trying to see what major differences there are between the two, incluidng the weapon size. Can anyone who's opened theirs help me out? Thanks.

Went to the lease on Sunday to look for some hogs. I found that the loggers have moved in since deer season quit. I'm on the coastal plains of SC. The lease is a pine plantation with hardwood pockets and drains. The birds have always stayed in the hardwoods and traveled the drains, they come out on the logging roads sparingly. I have never hunted any open areas/fields. I'm sure the logging decks and clearcuts will become strut/feeding areas. I'm not sure how to hunt these.
I've always carried a decoy with me but not used it very much due to the minimal sight distances. Turkey hunting has been up-close and personal to me. There has never been any watching them come in. They kinda just appear immediately in gun range. They gobble and ya know they are coming, ya just can't see em. I'll probably loose my mind watching them strut or run in for a few hundred yards.
Any suggestions?

You Are What You Eat
What to Feed Your Soul so that You Abound in Hope
We are hope-guzzling machines. We consume hope every day. If we run out of it, we become desperate. We must have hope. All the wonderful things that have happened to us in the past will not fuel our hope if our future looks bleak. We can be grateful for the past. But we must have hope for the future. It's what keeps us going.
When we're hopeful, the world is full of wonder and possibilities. We have drive and curiosity. We want as much life as we can get. We take on challenges and see adversity as something to be overcome.
But when we lose hope, the world becomes a fearful, threatening place, full of chaotic futility. Hopelessness saps us of energy and desire. It robs us of interest and appetite. We just want to curl up and protect our soul. We call it depression. The Bible calls it hopelessness.
So what do you do when you lose hope? Note the psalmist's prescription for his depression:
Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you in turmoil within me? Hope in God; for I shall again praise him, my salvation and my God (Psalm 43:5).
Hope in God. Three simple words, but what exactly do they mean? This verse gives us a clue:
It is written, "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God" (Deuteronomy 8:3, Matthew 4:4).
God created us with bodies and souls. Both require sustenance for life. What energy is to the body, hope is to the soul. When our body needs energy, we eat food. But when our soul needs hope, how do we "eat" God's words? We eat God's promises.
A promise is a pledge of a good or better future for us. God's promises are what he pledges to be for us, do for us, andprovide for us. Here is a powerful example of a promise God has used to feed saints throughout the ages and give them hope:
For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope (Jeremiah 29:11).
Jesus Christ is the ultimate fulfillment of God's promises for "all the promises of God find their Yes in him" (2 Corinthians 1:20). He is the very Word of God (Revelation 19:13), which is why he called himself the Bread of Life (John 6:35) for "whoever feeds on this bread will live forever" (John 6:58). Jesus is the Source and Sustainer of our hope because without him we would not have a future.
What could possibly give more hope to our sinful souls than Jesus' promises of complete forgiveness of our sins, the removal of all of the Father's judgment and wrath against us, to always be with us (Matthew 28:20), and give us eternal life in God's presence with full joy and pleasures forever (Psalm 16:11)? Nothing!
Now these are the "precious and very great promises" (2 Peter 1:4) that our souls are designed to be nourished by. However, our souls will actually digest any promise we feed them and try and convert it into hope. And here's the danger: the world and the devil are very aware that we feed our souls promises.
Have you noticed that every advertisement and every temptation to sin is a promise of happiness? If we eat them, we hope they will bring us the happiness they promise. But they are "junk food promises." They can never deliver the happiness our souls crave because we are designed to hope in God's promises.
What are your promise-eating habits? I mean, junk food promises are everywhere. They are often convenient and usually alluring, especially when you're hungry. They ruin your appetite for real promises. They deliver a fast buzz of false hope, but always disappoint because the buzz is followed by a hope-plunge into guilt, shame, and or emptiness.
The only way to break a habit of eating junk food promises is cultivating a taste for rich, nourishing, long-lasting, deeply satisfying, and true promises. And God freely gives us such promises to eat because he wants us to abound in hope:
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope (Romans 15:13).
Our deep desire at DG is to help you taste and see that the Lord and his promises are good. One way we can do that this month is to point you John Piper's message, "How Can I Keep Hoping? The Scriptures!" We will find no greater place to feed our souls than with the banquet God has provided for us in the Bible. For, as John explains, all the Scriptures have this one goal: to sustain our hope.
For those of you who financially support our work, thank you! Your partnership makes it possible to post these sermons on the website for free access for everyone.
We are, or will become, what we eat—what we feed our souls. We must take greater care in what we feed our souls than we do our bodies. Much, much more is at stake. Let's eat the bread of life so that we will abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. For "he who promised is faithful" (Hebrews 10:23).
Feeding with you on God's precious and very great promises,
Jon Bloom
Executive Director

Satisfy your craving for pizza with an easy Italian-style chicken pie. It's loaded with cheese and authentic Italian seasonings.
Tomato paste is made of tomatoes that have been cooked for several hours, strained and reduced to a deep red, richly flavored concentrate.
All this three-cheese pie needs for a delicious meal are some steamed fresh vegetables such as yellow beans or sliced summer squash. Treat yourself to a "dusty road" sundae later in the evening by sprinkling malted milk powder over vanilla ice cream.
Trade two for one: Use 1 teaspoon of dried Italian seasoning instead of the oregano and basil leaves.
An easy way to get tomato paste out of its can: Open the top and bottom of the can. Hold the can over the mixing bowl and push tomato paste through bottom end with a spoon. Use a rubber spatula to scrape any remaining tomato paste from the sides of the can.
Keep a few cans of canned chicken in your pantry so you can make this recipe anytime.
Remember this recipe the next time you make a large chicken dinner. It's a great way to use up those few extra pieces.
Savory Impossibly Easy Pies can be covered and refrigerated up to 24 hours before baking. You may need to bake a bit longer than the recipe directs since you'll be starting with a cold pie. Watch carefully for doneness.

So, time for the first diary entry.
Pingus is still activily developed on, but latly progress has been made basically only in the underlying code and not so much in the gameplay, which is kind of sad, since the underlying codebased doesn't really gives the player anything and the game as a whole is still to much unfinished to be of larger interest for gamers.
Windstille as started to make a little project, today I ported it to ClanLib-0.7-CVS, but I probally need to rewrite larger parts of it from scratch, since the original work, was really just quick&dirty coding, without even knowing where it should end up in.
I finished the GUI/game design of Construo now mostly, I only need to code it down know, but well this could get a bit boring.
Feuerkraft on the other site as reached a dead point for the moment, the current code based doesn't really work any good and I am not really interested to work on it at the moment.

I don't pretend to understand things from a political standpoint, but I read this elsewhere and wondered what your take on it is?
Obama's HSUS Czar
This report is archived at http://eaglerock814.proboards.com/in...eral&thread=52
WASHINGTON (July 21, 2009) Sen. Saxby Chambliss (R-GA) has lifted his hold blocking the nomination of Harvard Law School scholar and animal rights legal strategist Cass Sunstein for the post of regulatory czar in the Administration of his close personal friend, President Barack Obama.
Sen. Chambliss had blocked the nomination based on concerns of farm groups because of Sunsteins strong animal rights beliefs, including support of stringent regulation of people who raise animals and a ban on hunting. Last week, however, Chambliss met with Sunstein and announced on the Senate floor that he had lifted the hold on the nomination. The Senator added that the way is now clear for the U.S. Senate to confirm Sunstein before its August recess.
The American Sporting Dog Alliance is urging all dog owners, hunters, firearms rights advocates, farmers and civil libertarians to take immediate action by urging the U.S. Senate to reject the Sunstein nomination to head the powerful Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) in the White House. Taking action now is of the utmost urgency.
Sunstein has the strong support of the Humane Society of the United States, which is the political arm of the radical animal rights movement, according to a July 15 statement by HSUS Vice President and Chief Operating Officer Michael Markarian in The Huffington Post. Referring to the regulations to implement the federal Animal Welfare Act, and new rules about animal fighting and importing dogs, Markarian wrote: These kinds of legal changes are precisely why Americans need a regulatory czar like Cass Sunstein in charge of OIRA -- to make sure the federal agencies properly implement regulations to enforce these new laws.
The Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) reviews and alters regulations created by federal agencies, according to Congress Daily.
Sunstein, who has published 15 books, would have broad powers to review, recommend changes and possibly engineer changes in all federal regulations, including those about dog ownership, farming, hunting on federal lands, and enforcement of gun control laws.
In his published writings and speeches, Sunstein has advocated:
Giving animal rights groups the power to file lawsuits on the behalf of animals against their owners.
Very strict regulations about animal ownership, farming and hunting.
The elimination of hunting.
The elimination of the individual right to keep and bear arms.
Moving toward a vegan vegetarian society.
Rewriting the Constitution and Bill of Rights.
And restrictions on free speech.
Each of those assertions will be documented later in this report by direct quotations from Sunsteins published books and speeches.
The American Sporting Dog Alliance believes Sunstein would have a severely negative impact on dog owners, farmers, hunters, gun owners and civil libertarians Indeed, to all Americans!
This is underscored by Sunsteins status as a close personal friend and advisor to President Obama since they met in 1992, when Sunstein taught law at the University of Chicago. This will give Sunstein unprecedented influence and access to the President.
It is further underscored by numerous mainstream reports that Sunstein is slated to be President Obamas next nominee to fill a vacancy on the Supreme Court. This adds to the urgency of convincing the Senate that Sunsteins beliefs are un-American and in direct contradiction to the basic principles outlined in the Constitution and Bill of Rights.
Although Sunsteins nomination had been blocked by Sen. Chambliss until last week, Government Executive reported that he actually has been working at the job in the White House on a daily basis.

About Jeff Masters

By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 1:40 PM GMT on July 24, 2012
Typhoon Vicente powered ashore about 60 miles (100 km) southwest of Macao, China Monday at 19:30 UTC as a dangerous Category 4 typhoon with 135 mph winds. The typhoon brought sustained winds of 58 mph with a peak wind gust of 83 mph to Hong Kong, and sustained winds of 55 mph with a peak wind gust of 76 mph to Macao. No deaths are being blamed on the typhoon, but 118 were injured, and the storm is dumping very heavy rains over Southeast China that will cause serious flooding.

Figure 2. Firemen investigate the collapsed scaffolding caused by typhoon Vicente at a residential building in Hong Kong Tuesday, July 24, 2012. The strongest typhoon to hit Hong Kong in 13 years swirled into southern China as a tropical storm Tuesday, still potent enough for mainland authorities to order the evacuation of tens of thousands of people and warn residents of possible flooding.

A hurricane forecasters' nightmare
Vicente was an example of a hurricane forecaster's nightmare. In six hours, Vicente strengthened from a Category 1 typhoon with 80 mph winds to a Category 4 storm with 135 mph winds. Even twelve hours before this remarkable burst of intensification, there was little indication that Vicente would undergo rapid intensification. It is very fortunate the the typhoon missed a direct hit on the heavily populated areas of Hong Kong and Macao, because there was no time to evacuate all the people who would have needed to leave for the impact of a Category 4 storm--particularly since the storm hit at night. If a similar type of storm were to affect a vulnerable area of the U.S. coast such as the Florida Keys, New Orleans, Houston/Galveston, or Tampa Bay, the death toll could easily be in the thousands. I have great hopes that the Hurricane Forecast Improvement Program (HFIP), currently in year three of a ten-year effort aimed at improving hurricane intensity forecasts by 50%, will be able to give us tools to be able to predict rapid intensification events like Vicente's several days in advance. However, we are still many years from being able to predict such events, and the hurricane forecasters' nightmare storm is still a very real possibility.
Atlantic to get more active?
NHC is giving a disturbance along a frontal boundary 600 miles east-northeast of Bermuda a 10% chance of developing into a tropical depression, but this system is not a threat to any land areas. Recent runs of both the GFS and NOGAPS models have predicted that tropical waves coming off the coast of Africa late this week and early next week could show some development. These predictions have not been consistent, but we are getting towards the time of year when we need to start watching the tropical waves coming off of Africa.

Some have wondered whether Haynos, who was waived/injured, might be able to return to the Dolphins once his foot heals. But a source told me this week that while Haynos is recovering on pace, he automatically reverted to injured reserve once no other team claimed him in the waiver period.
This means Haynos could only play for one of the other 31 teams once hes healthy this season, but the Dolphins would have to reach an injury settlement with him to allow that to happen. Haynos, who would be a restricted free agent next spring, will not play for the Dolphins again this year.
Other tight ends to cycle through the Dolphins clutches in recent weeks include Eastern Washington product Nathan Overbay (practice squad), ex-UM standout Dedrick Epps (still on the practice squad), ex-Kansas State standout Jeron Mastrud (who was active against the Jets) and former 2010 Vikings seventh-rounder Mickey Shuler, who arrived last Friday and was inactive against the Jets.http://blogs.sun-sentinel.com/sports...tinel+Blogs%29Im hearing Shuler (6 foot 4, 251 pounds) has been getting second-team reps this week ahead of Mastrud and is a potential monster on special teams, so the Dolphins could be close to filling this void.
He did a nice job today; he had a good practice today, Dolphins coach Tony Sparano said Thursday when I asked him what Shuler had shown in his first two practices. Ive been impressed with what hes done mentally because the [Vikings' and Dolphins'] systems arent the same; theyre not even close.
Were talking words to numbers and numbers to words in some situations. So the formation part of this thing, which he has about 100 of them going into a game, I think its all new for him. He did a good job. [Wednesday] he jumped right in there and did some good things, and then today I thought really got a lot better. This guy can run, and today was good because we had pads on. Saw him block a little bit, so that was good.
Physically, Shuler has all the measurables youd look for in a tight end. His Pro Day at Penn State, where he flashed a 37 1/2-inch vertical, was legendary.
The bloodlines are there, too, with his father of the same name spending 14 years in the NFL, most of them tormenting Dolphins fans with the Jets.
Once Shuler gets the terminology down after spending the past five months immersing himself in the Vikings West Coast Offense, he should be good to go, possibly as soon as Monday night against the Patriots.

In the cutthroat world of television journalism, seasoned reporter Charlotte McNally knows that she'd better pull out all the stops or kiss her job goodbye. But it's her life that might be on the line when she learns that an innocent-looking email offer resulted in murder, mayhem and a multimillion-dollar fraud ring.
All too soon her investigation leads her straight to Josh Gelston, who is a little too helpful and a lot too handsome. Charlie might have a nose for news, but men are a whole other matter. Now she has to decide whether she can trust Josh...before she ends up as the next lead story.

"Nice story great reader"
I never read mysteries. I like to listen to them on a plane or at the gym.
Yes, and I did...all eight hours!
I thought Margaret Daly brought the story to life and I plan to find other books she has read on Audible.
"The first book in the intriguing Charlie McMally s"
This is the first in the Charlie McMally series. Charlotte, (Charlie) is a 46-year-old investigative reporter on fictional Channel 3, Boston. She's seeing signs from others that they may think she's getting too old for this spot on t.v., even though she still does good enough reporting to win the station an Emmy each year. But this might be the year that doesn't happen as she has very few weeks or days to find the story that will win them the prize this year. The first in the Charlie McMally series. Charlie is sent, because no other reporters are available, on the "vulture patrol" to get a comment from the widow of someone who just died in an accident. But the innocent-looking widow is interested in whether or not Charlie had gotten, or replied to, an e-mail from her husband about whistle-blowing for his company. Charlie becomes involved in a plot of possible insider trading and other dangerous pursuits that almost gets her killed and finds her a romantic interest after all these years as well. A more light-hearted cozy than I usually read, but it was entertaining and constructive regarding women in television reporting.
"It's Just Okay"
I figured out the end pretty early. I wish there had been a little more mystery to the book.
Probably not, it was a just too contrived.
Well, Charlie McNally is supposed to be a 46 year old woman. Her voice was a little young and immature.
Not much of anything really.
"A disapointment at best!!"
This was a waste of time and an audible credit. The lead character is not very bright and goes on endless wild goose chases that will have you pulling your hair and grinding your teeth. I couldn't finish it. If you want to read a story about a good investigative reporter read Julie Kramer's Missing Mark. It is superb. Don't waste your time or audible credit on this book.

Family: Cupressaceae, Cypress view all from this family
Description Dense slow-growing tree. Bark reddish-brown, fibrous, and peels off in narrow strips. Leaves of two types; sharp, spreading needle-like juvenile leaves 5–10 cm. (2.0–3.9 in.) long, and tightly adpressed scale-like adult leaves 2–4 mm. (0.079–0.16 in.) long; arranged in opposite decussate pairs or occasionally whorls of three. Juvenile leaves found on young plants up to 3 years old, and as scattered shoots on adult trees, usually in shade. Cones 3–7 cm. (1.2–2.8 in.) long, berry-like with fleshy scales, dark purple-blue with white wax cover giving overall sky-blue color (though the wax often rubs off); they contain one or two (rarely up to four) seeds, and mature in 6–8 months from pollination. Pollen cones 2–3 mm. (0.079–0.12 in.) long and 1.5 mm. (0.059 in.) broad, shedding pollen in late winter or early spring. Trees usually dioecious, with pollen and seed cones on separate trees.
Dimensions Height: 12-18 m. (40-60 ft.)
Diameter: 0.3-0.6 m. (1-2 ft.).
Warning Berries poisonous if eaten in large quantities. Sensitivity to a toxin varies with a persons age, weight, physical condition, and individual susceptibility. Children are most vulnerable because of their curiosity and small size. Toxicity can vary in a plant according to season, the plants different parts, and its stage of growth; and plants can absorb toxic substances, such as herbicides, pesticides, and pollutants from the water, air, and soil.
Habitat Scrub, shrub & brushlands, Swamps (fresh & salt).
Range Texas, Great Lakes, Northwest, Plains, Mid-Atlantic, Southeast, New England, Florida, Rocky Mountains.
Discussion One of the first trees to repopulate cleared, eroded, or otherwise damaged land. Unusually long lived among pioneer species, with the potential to live for two centuries. The oldest tree reported, from Missouri, was 795 years old. Important winter food for many birds, which disperse the wingless seeds.

Not enough time in the day...
I'm frustrated with open source projects that do not give emphasis to accurate and full documentation. I'm sick of watching lead committers run to O'Reilly or Wrox for book deals only to leave the project with often incorrect documentation. I'm not going to single any projects out, but it seems that there needs to be an effort on the part of some organizations to try to encourage people to contribute to documentation.
The alternative is ending up with a situation where one must pay for documentation. Look at JBoss 3, it's technical impossible to use JBoss 3 without spending $10.00 for the documentation. Want to see a complete manual for Log4J? You'll have to pay $49.00 to Flashline to read it. Seems like there is a general movement towards open source projects with paid documentation.

Ross Fund Announces Community Project Grants
BINGHAMTON, NY -- Rehabilitation workshops for individuals with motor impairment, the creation of an interactive garden promoting literacy and a study of the role of music in the workplace have been chosen for this year's round of funding from the Stephen David Ross University and Community Projects Fund.
Since its inception, the Ross Fund has provided money for creative and innovative cooperative efforts between the University and local non-profit organizations to enhance the quality of life in Greater Binghamton. This year, 16 applications for funding were received and after review by a panel of University and community representatives, three projects will receive a total of $8,586.
Projects to be funded include a partnership between the Departments of Human Development and Social Work in the College of Community and Public Affairs, the School of Education and the Magic Paintbrush Project. The grant, totaling $4,750, will be used to establish new workshops needed to better support those with physical challenges and to develop appropriate activities, adaptive tools, and training to enable individuals with motor impairments to benefit from The Magic Paintbrush's many advantages. The project will provide Binghamton University students with the opportunity to actively participate as student learners in the development and practice of these new tools and techniques.
A second project links the Junior League of Binghamton and the Binghamton University School of Education. An award of $2,836 will be given to a project titled "Story Garden's "Green" Learning Initiative." Funds will be used to develop an interactive garden that promotes literacy and nature, inspire visitors, and encourages environmental awareness.
Another project, titled "History Works! Music CDs" is collaboration between Harpur College of Arts and Science's History Department and the Center for Technology & Innovation, Inc. A $1,000 grant will be given to explore the role of music in the workplace and labor-management relations while capturing Greater Binghamton's lyrical spirit and musical traditions.
Applications for funding are reviewed annually and must include a University partner and a community partner. For more information, visit http://rossfund.binghamton.edu, call 607-777-6927 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

The quality of the work is consistently pretty high, which is unusual for a show as with as many works as this one. The uniform consistency is a result of curatorial work done by Bruce Brown, who came up with the idea for the show and chose the artists. Brown is the former curator of the Maine Center for Contemporary Art in Rockport, and did that same job when it was just Maine Coast Artists. He has had a catalytic role in Maine art for upwards of 30 years, as a curator, collector, educator, and interested spectator. Brown is probably the only person in Maine who knows enough artists and their work to actually attempt a show like this, let alone have the eye to make a good show out of it.
There are paintings, drawings, photographs, minimalist sculptures, conceptual pieces with a Fluxus tinge, multiples, a standing figure sculpture, digital prints, a video installation, and even some buttons. Brown has surveyed the ground pretty thoroughly.
Many of the works are small enough to call to mind the portrait miniatures so popular in the 18th century, or perhaps illustrations in medieval illuminated manuscripts, and like those, each needs to looked at carefully. There's no middle ground; either look at them closely or you don't see much at all. There's plenty to enjoy here but the process takes some time. It seems the smaller the piece, the longer you need to look at it.
These days we are accustomed to encountering large objects in art galleries. Works compete to command our view, occupying all or nearly all of our visual field. We tend to walk through galleries quickly, sizing up the gestalt of a solo or group show and moving on. We are expected to see the work in terms of its contemporary social or historical context, as part of an ongoing public theoretical discourse.
The nature of this show, and of the works that comprise it, requires that we approach our task as viewers differently. Looking at an object that can be held in one hand produces a feeling of intimate relationship to it, invoking a personal sense of focus that seems to exclude the work's surroundings. A very small object can seem monumental in scale as it expands the mind's eye. The littlest details become important. Things get distilled down to their essentials.
We can see this distillation in, for instance, the work of Lois Dodd, one of the most widely known of the artists. Her four paintings are each no more than five or six inches square, but they are instantly recognizable as hers. What is it about her work that is so distinct that it can be clearly represented in so small an image? Whatever it is, it's more than mere style and it's clearly present in these little paintings.

HOUSTON – The annual Houston Homecoming event is drawing near and this year's commemorative shirts have been ordered. Short-sleeve and long-sleeve t-shirts will be available for sale at the Homecoming event with prices starting at $11 and up, depending on style and size.
Amy Alford is chairperson for t-shirts and said the committee decided to redesign the shirts for the upcoming event.
Alford said she may be able to get the shirts back before the event for sale but will definitely have them available at the Homecoming for purchase.
Day of fun
The festivities will kick off at 5 p.m. with the children's and veteran's parade. Participants will line up at 4:45 p.m. at the Lower Elementary School. The veteran's trailer will be available for military personnel to ride and children and youth are encouraged to decorate their bikes, trikes and wagons in a patriotic theme.
Chuck Carroll of French Camp Radio will be on hand again to serve as master of ceremonies. Live entertainment will feature several local and area bands, including Bobby Hood, Hearts in Service, Nathan Carlisle and Morgan and Morgan.
The evening will conclude with the annual fireworks show.
Guests are encouraged to bring lawn chairs and enjoy the fun.

Dig in! Here's an impressive dessert that's meant to be a serve-yourself buffet wow.
Garnish with chocolate shavings or chocolate curls. To make the curls, pull a vegetable peeler across a milk chocolate candy bar, using long, thin strokes. (The curls will be easier to make if the chocolate is slightly warm, so let the chocolate stand in a warm place for about 10 minutes.) Use a toothpick to lift the curls from the chocolate to the trifle.
Drizzle the whipped topping mixture with additional caramel topping and sprinkle with additional chopped walnuts.

Ready in less than 30 minutes, open-faced burgers feature garlic-buttered bread and a bit of blue cheese.
Shape the oval burgers slightly larger than the slices of French bread. They tend to shrink slightly as they cook.
Use your favorite small salad greens. Baby arugula or spinach provides a slightly bitter flavor that goes well with the grill flavor and blue cheese.
Grill seasonings are found with the other spices in the baking section of the grocery store. They are salt and pepper mixtures with other herbs and spices added.

[Updated 21st January because when going back to check on something I'd said here, I noticed that I'd had a slip of concentration and said something so stupid, I'm not going to tell you what it was. ;-)]
It was to be expected that there'd be a lot of media interest following the New York Times story I previously mentioned here.
And sure enough, I've been able to add several more items to the Stuxnet Information and Resources blog. There is commentary from Heise and from John Leyden in The Register:
My colleague Josep Albors gave me three links from the Spanish press as well as quoting me at length in his own blog (also in Spanish).
He says (excuse the free translation) that:
"Stuxnet is still making news half a year after the first reports to make its existence public knowledge. Now, a comprehensive article in the New York Times attempts to prove the theory that this advanced malicious code was developed by the Governments of Israel and United States in order to delay Iran's planned production of enriched uranium. The articlesuggest that the Israeli nuclear complex at Dimona tested this sophisticated malware against similar centrifuges to those employed in Iran, as a check of Stuxnet's effectiveness."
"According to this information, plans to launch a cyber-attack to impede Iran's nuclear progress have their origin in 2008, when George Bush's administration was still in command of the United States."
But, like John Leyden, Josep is a little more sceptical than some of the media. And I think they're right.
The NYT article strikes me as being well-researched, well-written, and well worth reading, and the involvement of Dimona is more plausible than much of the speculation I've seen, but it's still hard to distinguish hard fact from sheer guesswork, which is why I'm more comfortable with the data we've been able to determine from the code, and that's what ESET researchers have focused on in our own writing on the topic.
The assertion that "Israeli officials grin widely when asked about its effects" and Samore's "sidestepping" of a Stuxnet question are flimsy foundations for assuming the truth of these assertions, though there are other indications that might be more convincing. On the other hand, this "nudge, nudge, wink, wink" hinting at US/Israeli collaboration might actually explain an anomaly I've mentioned before. Stuxnet has the hallmarks of a collaboration between several individuals or groups with specialist expertise, yet it's cover was blown by its promiscuous dissemination through the Autorun-like LNK vulnerability, a vector that automatically raises its chances of being detected heuristically.
That suggests to me:

Andy Ristie out, Albert Kraus now faces Warren Stevelmans tomorrow at GLORY 5 London
- Written by Rian Scalia
There's been another last minute change to the GLORY 5 London card that goes down tomorrow from London, England at the ExCel Arena. The event can be watched live here on LiverKick tomorrow.
Andy Ristie, originally scheduled to fight Albert Kraus, is off the card. No official reason has been given but the word is that it's due to visa/travel issues.
Albert Kraus will now fight Warren Stevelmans, in what is a rematch from 2009, where Kraus won by decision. Stevelmans was originally scheduled to fight Johann Fauveau on tomorrow's card. Fauveau now will get a replacement opponent that will be announced shortly.

How to Close the Empathy Gap
In this weekend's Weekly Standard, Jay Cost walks right up to the front door of Mitt Romney's electoral problem - and then turns aside and walks back away again.
Obama's campaign against Romney, which portrayed him as an out-of-touch plutocrat, appears largely to have been successful. Romney's favorable rating in the exit poll was just 47 percent, with 50 percent holding an unfavorable view. By 53 to 43 percent, voters said that Obama was "more in touch with people like" them, and by a staggering 53 percent to 34 percent, they said Romney's policies would favor the rich instead of the middle class.
In other words, Romney lost in large part because of a yawning empathy gap. Typically, this plagues Republican candidates to some degree, even victorious ones, but it was pronounced this year, and appears to have been determinative. The voters who showed up on Election Day identified more closely with Obama than Romney, and those who stayed home presumably identified with neither. Importantly, this problem transcended age, race, ethnicity, and gender. Compared with Bush in 2004, Romney simply failed to connect with people.

Original charcoal drawing on paper by James ShiptonMy works are heavily influenced by the art work of Degas and Gustav Klimt.My desire is to capture the beauty of the female human form, whilst portraying human isolation (loneliness). I achieve this through a process of capturing reality through life drawing using charcoal sketches, breaking it down to deliver an impression of the human form (nude), whilst capturing the psychological complexity of the human nature through the portrayal of human isolation.Following the breakdown of the human female nude, I use the sketches to the build and create paintings in oils.Certificate of authenticity included.

Research Needs in Support of Recovery Plans
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service recognizes numerous research needs in its efforts to better help protected species survive and recover. Find out more about potential research projects (106 KB PDF) that may be appropriate for graduate student research work.
As called for by the federal Endangered Species Act of 1973, the Service is charged with promoting the survival and recovery of threatened and endangered species using the best available science.
There is an ongoing demand for rigorous scientific research into questions pertaining to species survival and recovery in order to develop best management practices. These in turn help the Service implement Recovery Plans for protected species.
This is a link to a list of research questions (106 KB PDF) of interest to the Service, organized by species. The list covers species and questions likely to appeal to graduate students looking for conservation research opportunities in California.
This is NOT a list of projects for which the Service will provide funding. Rather, it is a list of important, relevant research questions, the answers to which can directly inform management policies and contribute to recovery of threatened and endangered species. However, the Service's confirmation of the need for the information to aid the recovery of a sensitive species could be a persuasive point in applying for funding.
For each of the species listed, the Service is also interested in research about the following topics:
- The effects of and/or response to climate change.
- Studies that evaluate buffer widths and their efficacy.
- The effects of habitat fragmentation on population viability.
- General population modeling.
- Studies of plant-pollinator dynamics for insect pollinated plant species.
Research involving threatened and endangered species may require a 10(a)1(A) recovery permit from the Service.
If any of these research questions appeal to you and your desire to contribute to conservation in a very real and meaningful way, please contact the Recovery Branch Chief in the Service's Sacramento Field Office at 916-414-6742 for further discussion of the research needs and of permitting requirements.

Singer receives World Technology Award for Ethics
Posted July 9, 2003; 10:19 a.m.
Peter Singer, the Ira DeCamp Professor of Bioethics in the University Center for Human Values , has been named the winner of the 2003 World Technology Award for Ethics.
The award was presented by the World Technology Network, an organization whose members are dedicated to the business and science of emerging technologies such as biotechnology and new energy sources.
The awards, which were announced at the World Technology Summit in late June, honor individuals and corporations from 20 technology-related sectors selected by their peers as innovators. Award categories range from biotechnology, space and energy to ethics, design and entertainment.
"I am delighted to have been selected by my peers as a winner of the 2003 World Technology Award in the ethics category," Singer said. "The fact that the World Technology Network has an ethics award at all is a recognition of the importance of keeping ethics in mind as we move forward with new technologies in a wide variety of fields, from genetics to computing."

Today's adventure is something yummy that landed on the cheap side thanks to a couple sales at the grocery store. But it also fell victim to a common cooks dilemma.
Some week's dinner becomes the same-old-same-old. As I tried to decide what to prepare one night I thought back to some delicious stuffed peppers my sister-in-law once made. She's one of those cooks who can throw a bunch of things together from her fridge or pantry and come up with something delicious. I usually need a recipe.
So after an Internet search I found a recipe for Beef and Mozzarella Stuffed Peppers. I think she used sausage in her stuffed peppers but this recipe sounded perfect because I already had meat, which I bought on sale, in the freezer. I always keep parmesan on hand, so two of the ingredients were ready to go.
At the grocery, bell peppers were on sale — major score. To make a lovely presentation I got one of each color: red, yellow, orange and green.
Cheese and tomato sauce were on sale, too.
This meal was looking better and better.
One item, however, was left out. The recipe called for coconut oil to coat the baking dish. I left this out because coconut oil is expensive. The cheapest jar was $6. For me, cooking spray would work just fine, so I left the expensive coconut oil on the shelf.
Happily, I went home with my discount dinner items ready to prepare stuffed peppers.
The combination of ingredients left a wonderful smell of seasonings in my house and made my stomach rumble.
The peppers looked colorful as I filled and placed them in the oven.
While they baked I boiled small potatoes with the skin still on to mash with onions and cheese for a side.
I waited and waited for the peppers to come out of the oven. Finally, they were ready and smelled delicious.
But, as often is the case, after I plated the dish I wasn't hungry. This is sometimes a very disappointing aspect of cooking. You spend so much time preparing a dish and smelling it, but when it's done you're not hungry. It's sad when you are looking forward to eating. It was good, but after a few bites I was finished.
Admittedly, the peppers were not as good as my sister-in-law's, but her cooking is hard to match.
There are three more stuffed peppers in the fridge. If I don't eat them for dinner this weekend maybe I can use them in a chili.
Repurposing leftovers is something else my sister-in-law is good at. I'll have to see if I can do similar magic with the peppers in chili.

Beef and Mozzarella Stuffed Peppers
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Generously coat a square baking dish, preferably glass or ceramic, with coconut oil. Set aside.
Wash and dry peppers. Cut off tops of peppers, dice tops and throw away stem. Set aside diced pepper for later use. Scrape out inside of the peppers, rinse and dry. Set peppers in prepared baking dish. Peppers should fit well in baking dish and be touching each other. If peppers aren't level you can trim bottom. Only take off a sliver; this should help.
Coat large skillet with olive oil, heat over medium heat. Add ground beef, seasonings, onions and diced peppers to skillet. Cook until beef is cooked through, no longer pink. Add 3/4 to 1 cup of the canned tomato sauce to the skillet with the beef, use just enough to coat meat well. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Let the mixture cool slightly, five to 10 minutes. Add the mozzarella and parmesan cheese and stir to combine.
Fill peppers with beef-cheese mixture, packing filling down tightly. If you have extra filling, spoon it around outside of peppers in the bottom of the baking dish. Drizzle the tops of stuffed peppers with as much of remaining canned tomato sauce as you wish.
Bake, covered with aluminum foil for 30 minutes. Remove the foil, sprinkle tops of peppers with extra parmesan cheese and continue to bake for 15 to 20 more minutes. Peppers will be tender, cheese should be melted and tops will be lightly browned.

Patricia Kime – (Air Force Times) – June 4, 2013 – Attorneys representing former troops and family members who say they were sickened by exposure to open-air burn pits in Iraq and Afghanistan are appealing a judge's dismissal of their cases.
Alexandria, Va., lawyer Susan Burke and attorneys from the South Carolina firm Motley & Rice filed an appeal Wednesday arguing that Maryland U.S. District Court Judge Roger Titus's decision in February to toss out 57 consolidated lawsuits filed against KBR, Inc., was "non-justifiable."
Titus ruled Feb. 28 that as a government contractor working in a war zone, KBR was entitled to the same legal protection and immunity as U.S. armed forces operating in combat. He also argued that the court did not have jurisdiction to rule on decisions made by another branch of government.

Advanced Scientific Computing Research (ASCR)

(Left) An electrolyte molecule (ethylene carbonate: C3H4O3) weakly binds (dashed line) to the positive electrode surface (Li0.6Mn2O4); the resulting interaction (oval) between the carbonyl carbon (C) and surface oxygen (O) atom destabilizes the molecule and leads to its unexpected decomposition. (Right) After decomposition, a fragment of the electrolyte molecule is bound to the electrode surface through manganese atoms and a hydrogen atom is bound to an adjacent oxygen. (color key: red = oxygen; green = carbon; purple = manganese; blue = lithium; grey = hydrogen).
Computational studies revealed that the manganese spinel (LixMn2O4) surface of positive electrodes in lithium ion batteries is reactive enough to destabilize an electrolyte molecule in proximity to the electrode surface and accelerate its subsequent decomposition.
Scientific understanding of how both electrolytes and electrodes react and degrade after many battery cycles of charging and discharging provides insight into new materials and battery designs that can greatly improve battery lifetimes.
Ethylene carbonate (EC) electrolytes and manganese spinel (LixMn2O4) positive electrodes are commonly used in lithium ion batteries. A comparison of the electrochemical potentials of EC and bulk LixMn2O4 suggests that decomposition of the electrolyte would not occur directly by electrons being transferred from EC to the electrode material, but the surface of a solid can have very different properties than its interior bulk. Researchers at Sandia National Laboratories, as part of the Nanostructures for Electrical Energy Storage (NEES) EFRC, have completed detailed coupled simulations of the molecules of the electrolyte and the surface of the positive electrode showing that the oxygen atoms on a Li0.6Mn2O4 surface can deform and weakly bind the EC molecule when it is near the electrode surface. This initial interaction does not involve the transfer of electrons (i.e., oxidation) but does enable breaking of the carbon-oxygen bond and subsequent molecular rearrangements that result in two electrons and a proton being transferred to the electrode surface. Therefore, a predicted series of five steps breaks down the electrolyte molecule, leaving the oxidized EC fragment still bound to the now acidified electrode surface. Acidification of positive electrodes is widely believed to initiate corrosion of the electrode surface and possible dissolution of manganese atoms. The proposed acidification mechanism illustrates the importance of modeling the electrolyte and the electrode surface together.

Compared to the EPH-100, the RE-262 are bass light. They can perform very well with the bass boost from a portable amp, though. The main advantage of the RE-262 over the EPH-100 are the mids, highs and soundstage. For bass alone, the EPH-100 are superior... I own both, and they complement each other very well!
ok, thanks. I might get them and see if they like the bass boost on the E11 then

To get accurate spark timing, you will need many pulses per revolution of the crank. On my 4 cylinder suzuki, it has 22 pulses and a 2 non-pulse are to determine 'TDC on #1 cylinder. For a single cylinder engine I would think you need at least 6 pulses per revolution.
As the igntion timing is critical I need to pull the coil pin to low with an internal interrupt commandCan anyone help me with that?
Mhhh- a 360° stroke at 10.000RPM takes about 6mS. I am sure you agree that using interrupts is the best way to handle it not using IFTHEN loops. 1° of ignition is 17microseconds at 10.000RPM. The 328 is not as quick as that...I know I am naggy, but beside learning something about engines no one answered my question from my first post:As the igntion timing is critical I need to pull the coil pin to low with an internal interrupt command Can anyone help me with that?

I got done with my turkey capes a couple of weeks ago and have them hanging on the wall.
Now I need some ideas on how to display the beards. I usually stick them in the brass of a shell and hang them up, but I have about 10 beards that are too big to fit in the brass. I'm wanting to stick them in something and still use wax and/or glue to hold the beard together.
Does anybody have any beard displays that they would like to share?

after well over a year in RTF, wow - i have only in the last few days waded into the POTUS pool....i am shocked.
i have been very naive in thinking that people that train dogs to pick up birds that we humans shoot - with guns - would be similar of political concept as I - as in freedom, the basic rights our forefathers fought for. the hard interpretation of the constitution. certainly the 2nd amendment is something we can all claim as common ground.? even i dont relish killing birds just for my dog to retrieve, but with sound conservation practices i defend all rights to do so.
although my religious beliefs may differ from many here, my core values are the same - life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, and the core values of conservatism as set forth by our forebears - and as a 6th generation Texan and 9th generation American I have plenty of same that offered and shared their blood for me to have that right.
and yet people here defend Obama, terrorists, and his policies (or lack thereof) toward same.....will they ever awaken themselves??

Filed a bug report with Mercurial and it got fixed pretty fast, though I was asked to actually produce a small test case script. This turned out to be a good experience.
I've also filed bug reports and feature requests at AlbumShaper, and they get solved one by one. I'm still stuck with a bug that prevents drag-n-drop from working when using the Ion2 window manager.
I've been distracted from working by the Gramps program to generate the family tree. This is a really nice program and I've already got a lot of data into it. It generates some nice graphs with GraphViz. I need to figure out how to make it work properly with Hebrew in the text, currently Hebrew is munged and I use English names instead. This is a bit uncomfortable for those in my family whose English command is lower than their Hebrew command.
I've caused my parents to go out and ask for the missing pieces of information, so now I have better knowledge of my family tree, and hopefully a chance to preserve some of the family history.
