Dang, there needs to be a 3rd interest list!! I want on it!!
if you're still doing these, can ya make me on in ROTJ color for my Boba? Screw 100% screen accuracy, this would stop the drippy sweat and still be easily removed. I have a bobamaker helmet btw.
Ok Bro!!!!!! No problem!!!!!!
are you still doing these?
Here is my official statment: I'm not making anymore until the new year then I'm going to kick it into high gear so keep an eye out.
Glad you are still doing this project. I can only imagine how tough sewing that leather for all the different helmet shapes could be. Thanks for working on it. I am still interested whenever my time comes around.
Add me to the list for a set in black please... I have the ASOK helmet...
Hey Chuko- Just makin sure I formally put myself on the list for a jango/ ASOk skirt : )..Lets get together soon brother
Just a little update:
I having a hard time locating anymore leather or even vinyl but fear not I'm still searching.
No worries Chucko..thanks for the update : )
Chucko, chekc ya pm's
I'd like to get on the list for a set of slate blue leather when you start these again. I have a ASOK helmet.
I was talking with LSFU and she uses a dark grey for the vest what is the consensus if I use the same for the skirt. In the reference pics I have they seen to be the same color.
Im in Chucko! That sounds great man.
Boba Leo I sent you a pm
I don't know about dark grey. I think the helmet skirt is the slate blue color you were using, but I also think the vest is slate blue with heavy grey and brown weathering making it look grey. I am not saying I am right. It is just my opinion.
I've got good news and bad news.
First with the good:I found some nice steel blue vinyl a little darker than the leather I was using.
The bad news: I have a very limited supply maybe 4 or 5 I'll have to measure it.
Ok so I was alittle off with my rough estimate looks like I should be able to do about 14 so the good news gets better.
Hey, I will take a blue leather one for an Asok lid when you get rolling again.
PM sent about a leather ASOK as well, thanks.
At the moment I do not have anymore leather but I do have sleek blue vinyl.
Put me on the list for a Blue Vinyl ASOK....Thanks.
I'll take blue vinyl for my ASOK too since you no longer have leather. Thanks

Hi Guys,
I have both cars above and am trying to put out a feeler out for them.
2012 CC DSG Sport - Perfect as new condition, it has just had its first service at 8500 miles. It has the beautiful Silver/Gold [not sure of the correct name] exterior and black/cornsilk interior. The car is in as new condition with the exception of two small scratches on the rear bumper. I was thinking of asking about $25K or so for it. Please let me know your feedback.
2010 Routan SEL/W Dual DVD/Navi - The van is white with a light tan leather interior and has about 25K miles in good condition. Just had the rotors replaced and the third row center seatbelt holder replaced [yes the full plastic roof piece]. The van has one scratch on one rim and a small dent on the right rear wheel well. I was thinking of asking $26K for this.
The reason for selling - I have started to work from home and my wife is a stay at home mom, I now find myself with 3 cars and we barely drive any of them. I am open to selling either of them or both if i can get a reasonable offer for them.
Please email for any details at manu_06 at yahoo dot com [exactly as it sounds].
If feeback on pricing is positive, I will upload pictures tomorrow.
Best Regards,
P.S. I am located in Irvine, CA

I am new to this forum and glad to be part of it. the question is: can you please advice me or recommend some schools or recruiting agencies that hires non natives. I have already started my overseas experience and had my TESOL certificate, but would like to be a little guided. The agency that recruited me first has confirmed the position and offered a considerable assistance after hearing my English. If non-natives are allowed to take the TEFL or any ESL training then they deserve a chance I believe.
Any reply is much appreciated,

Might you like a stay on Wight? In a swish and fully-furnished retro bell tent where everything's supplied including the kitchen sink? OK, it's a washing-up bowl rather than the kitchen sink, but the point still stands…the bell tents at Wight Bells near Shanklin and Sandown are for travelling light, with everything there for you when you arrive from duvets and pillows to crockery and cutlery (you can hire bed linen too if you don't want to bring your own).
As they're made of canvas, these Isle of Wight tents are cool by day and warm by night, and they're strong enough not to leak whatever the weather (always handy for British hols, we find…). Each bell tent comes with a double bed, double futon and storage space, and has similar floor space to a tipi or yurt so will suit families as well as couples. Pack your fairy lights too: the tents are hooked up with electricity for cuppa-making and gadget charging, and each is on its own deck with seating outside. Communal showers, loos and washing-up facilities are a short walk away.
Wight Bells is on a quiet corner of The Old Barn Touring Park campsite, named after the seventeenth century barn at the entrance which is now a games and TV room – kids should also have a quacking time flapping around the duck pond or swinging about the play area. For food, there's a garden centre with café just at the entrance of the park and a supermarket just down the road.
Open from 22/05/2017 to 21/09/2017

(2 nights)
Many sites set a maximum occupancy of 6/8 people per pitch, so try breaking your booking down into smaller groups to generate more results. For example, if you're a group of 10, enter 5 people in your initial search and then book 2 pitches.
However, where the pitch or accommodation occupancy allows it, you can now make a booking for up to 30 adults and 30 children on one pitch.
To book multiple pitches or accommodation, use the 'Special requests' box on the booking page to ask to be sited together. Complete the booking form for the first booking (you can add a password and save your card so that we remember your details). Then click "Make another booking like this" at the top of the confirmation page to make the next booking.
Large groups: check the listing page for any group restrictions set out in the terms and section titled 'Please note'.
Large tents/caravans: check the restrictions on unit dimensions to ensure your unit is suitable for the space you will be provided with.

"We used this card for our business Christmas Card. We were able to add logos, a personal message, and choose a paper/envelope style. We went with the matte card and paid extra for the gold envelopes- they look great, personal and expensive. We liked them so much that we had more shipped out at a later date and they came in the two days as promised! Will definitely use Tiny Prints in the future!"
"I wanted a photo card that would include enough space for me to write a personal message that would go to our closest friends and family. I found that possibility after fielding a call to the staff at Tiny Prints. The folded 'Favorite Memory' Photo Card was perfect. My intended story was told beginning with a full cover photo, two photos and my 87 word message inside, ending with one photo on the back…A perfect fit! Comments coming back to me convey the joy that I felt as I went through the layout process. Many, many thanks for helping me give this 'gift' to the people I love."
"Snowmen are an adorable way to send holiday greetings, especially when they are wearing bright red hats and mittens. For those companies who want to send a light heated holiday greeting that will bring smiles to all the recipients faces' this is a great card choice. The inside also includes space for plenty of text or photos, which is a great way to really connect with your clients."

Topic: mysql & ldap running on localhost
Is it ok to run ldap and mysql on localhost only not on all the interfaces for security reason. I checked all the services and they access mysql and ldap on localhost only. Let me know if we need to run mysql & ldap on any other interfaces except localhost. One thing I can think of is if we run ldap on localhost then addressbook won't work on outlook.
Looking forward for your suggestion.

Laughing All The Way

Comments about K2 MissBehaved Skis - Women's 2013:
I love these skis. They turn on a dime.I skied them in variable spring conditions last year (2012) and all season this year. They were money in the powder but did great in almost everything, except boilerplate ice, where they were still skiable--just not as jolly. Some things I noticed: I tended to overturn them a lot initially since they were more responsive than my old skis, which initially made them feel klutzy, since I would turn and stop. Also, there is a temptation to let the skis do the skiing and let one's technique kind of stay in limbo. Resist it. If you keep working on your stance and carving, they will take you just about anywhere with confidence. I mean mashed potato moguls, laps down International, Snake Dance, and Felsen and stuff out the High Traverse at Alpental, anything off Northway at Crystal including Niagras, also the Doors, Bear Pits, etc. My skis were not the limiting factor as much as my guts and legs.An opposing view? My expert+ daughter (a junior freerider extraordinaire) demoed them and hated them, because they felt heavy. However, she was maybe 5'1" and about 100 pounds at the time. So maybe not best for a petite female who likes to jump turn. A lot. However, if you are planning on keeping both feet on the ground and want something that is going to help you stay in that "having so much fun I'm having my lunch on the chairlift" mode, these might be the skis for you.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Awesome Skis
By Peggi
from Westcliffe, CO
I demo'ed several models of the K2's and this one was by far the best match for me.
K2 MissBehaved
By Rachel
from Mission Ridge, WA
I really loved the MissBehaved. I think the 102mm waist width is a great place to start for someone who is used to a very traditional ski but is looking for something slightly wider, for more stability and performance in un-groomed territory. The slight rocker in the tip and tail allows for a surprising amount of playful float. The ski is somewhat stiff for a women's ski, providing a stable, consistent turn on the groomers, without feeling too hooky. Great for a woman who is an advanced skier (or a woman looking to get there) that needs an everyday ski.

More of a Hybrid Ski
By Jennifer
from Stevens Pass
Not a lot of sidecut, pretty stiff. seems like it was meant to be a versatile ski rather than a pow specific ski. Tails got hooked up a bit but that could be because of hhow deep and wet the snow was. Might like it mounted a bit further back for float. It didn't like to turn, had to lean quite a was back in the pow. Again, could have been the conditions.
A Little Bit of Everything
By Dallas
I usually ride older Missdemeanors. The tip/tail rocker and width of the Missbehaved definitely makes the powder more manageable. But it compromises control on groomers for this extra bit of float. Personally I prefer all pow ski or all groomer ski.
Good skis for high level intermediate
By Jacq the skiier
from Denver, CO
About Me Intermediate
These have been great skiing all over the different terrain that the Mountains have to offer in Colorado. They have been especially great in powder. They are much lighter than my old skis and seem to float right on top of the powder. My only nit pick is that when the salomon bindings were first put on it was hard to pry the skis apart as they're much wider after carrying them from the parking lot to the mountain. Now they're fine.
What an upgrade!
By Spencie the shredder
from Crested Butte, co
About Me Expert
As a ski instructor and previous big mountain competitor, these skis kill it in any condition. I did a week of testing to make sure they were what I was expecting/need and they nailed every test. I love their speed management and their carving ability. It was initially hard to manage in the moguls, but they challenged me to step up my game. Awesome!
Amazing skis!
By Sarah
from Breckenridge, CO
In the past I've always had K2 or Volkl skis. Most recently the K2 MisConducts. I loved them, but when I moved out west I needed an all mountain ski that would hold up in the powder too. I just got the 2013 K2 MissBehaved skis, and I am so so happy with them! They've been great on the early season powder days, and still great on the groomer days and carve like a dream. It also helps that Evo has them on sale with the Axial bindings for a great price.

Carl Jenkinson believes regular first-team football is bringing out the best in him.
The 20-year-old took a giant leap up the divisions when he swapped League One Charlton for Premier League Arsenal last summer. And his form has made similar strides in recent weeks.
Jenkinson produced perhaps his best display for the Club last weekend when he shackled Scott Sinclair and got forward to good effect in the 1-1 draw at Manchester City. The right back was trending on Twitter after the game and earned praise from Thomas Vermaelen in midweek. He admits he has never felt better in an Arsenal shirt.
"I am happy with how things are going at the moment, I think I am starting to get the best out of myself," Jenkinson told Arsenal Player.
"I am playing regularly and I think that is important for any player, for me especially. My fitness is a big part of my game and you only really get that from matches, and obviously I am playing regularly at the moment. I feel fit and strong and I feel I am getting there now.
"I feel like I am progressing game by game, maybe that is natural for a younger player but it is nice that the skipper thinks that. I have got to continue to do that. I think a player always works on his weaknesses and I have been working on things I think I can improve on."
Jenkinson's increasing comfort in the top flight will be put to the test on Saturday when Chelsea visit Emirates Stadium. Always robust, the Blues now have the added creativity of Eden Hazard, Juan Mata, Victor Moses and Oscar at their disposal.
"They [creative players] are everywhere in this league anyway, but everyone knows the quality of the likes of Mata and Hazard," said Jenkinson.
"Of course they are great wingers but I have to make sure I am on top of my game whoever I mark. Even if it is not them, you have Victor Moses or someone else. Chelsea have an abundance of talent, so I have to be on my mettle whoever I am marking.
"The main thing is to focus on my own game, and hopefully I will take care of them that way.
"Chelsea are a strong side and have started the season well, so it is going to be a tough game. But it is important that we focus on how we have been playing. If we play to the best of our ability, we can beat any team in the world. I genuinely believe that."

- "'Flagrate!' She drew with her wand in midair and a fiery 'X' appeared on the door."
- —Hermione's use in the Entrance Room of the Department of Mysteries[src]
Flagrate is the incantation for the spell that creates a burning, fiery line in the air which can be "drawn" with the wand into specific shapes. The shape lingers for some time.
The fiery product of this Charm can be manipulated by the movements of the wand that created it, in an action similar to writing. The blaze can also be controlled or rearranged by a flick of the caster's wand, according to his/her intentions. As such, Flagrate can be used to form fiery messages or marks.
Known uses
|Tom Riddle's soul
|29 May, 1993
|Tom Riddle's soul contained in his diary used this spell non-verbally in the Chamber of Secrets manipulating the trail to spell out his name-"Tom Marvolo Riddle", and rearranged the fiery letters with a flick of his wand into the message "I Am Lord Voldemort", thus revealing to Harry Potter his true identity as the infamous Dark Lord.
|Hermione Granger
|18 June, 1996
|She used this spell to mark the repeatedly changing doors that she, Harry Potter and Ron Weasley had entered with a fiery "X" in the Entrance Room of the Department of Mysteries, in 1996. The usage of the spell allowed the group to continuously know which doors they had entered, and which ones they had not
Known practitioners
The word Flagrate comes from the Latin words "flagro", meaning "glowing", or "blaze".
Behind the Scenes
Flagrate may be related to the Flagrante Curse due to the similarity of their etymologies and their burning effects. It is debatable if they are variations of each other, or the same spell, as Flagrate and the Flagrante Curse are associated with different spell effects: Flagrate produces a burning trail, and Flagrante causes the target object to burn a person upon contact). However, it is still possible that they are the same curse, and that these different effects may be created based on the caster's intention, similar to the relationship between Geminio and the Gemino Curse.
- Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (First appearance)
- Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (film)
- Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (First identified as Flagrate)

The Macbook Pro of the Windows world, this thin, metal-clad 15.4in laptop is attractive and stylish without compromising on power or features.
I stopped reading after checking how thick the 15.4in MacBook Pro is. Turns out it is 2.41 cm --> 24.1mm which is thinner than this 'thinnest 15.4in laptop in the world' at 24.6mm.
Sort it out.
In fairness, Dell used to advertise this as the thinnest 15.4" laptop, but they've now changed their marketing to say "one of the thinnest". I suspect Ardjuna was going on the original press release.
That's fine CptKirk, today's journalists can't really find out any facts. Not even on a site calling itself Trusted.
The FCC as even just given this phenomenon a name, it's the "hamsterization" of media. So - as long as they don't tar their advertisers - it's all perfectly fine.
Well-spotted and sorry about the error, but that was really reason enough to stop reading?
I wasn't going bythe press release, actually, I confirmed this info with Dell representatives at the show, where I was still told it was "the thinnest of its size in the world". I have requested more information regarding this apparent error...
Yes, thanks, Gk.pm. I should of course have spent hours checking the dimensions of every single other 15.4in laptop out there rather than trust what I took to be confirmed facts and attempt to bring you this preview as soon as possible.
As for your equally helpful comment of not tarring advertisers, we would not have pointed out the sub-par keyboard were that the case.
I've just confirmed with a Dell official what led to this misunderstanding. The XPS 15z is posited as "the thinnest *PC* laptop in the world" (a distinction that wasn't mentioned by the reps I spoke to at the event).
While technically Macs should be considered Personal Computers (PCs) too, in general usage people tend to use "PC vs. Mac" to differentiate between Apple machines and those from other manufacturers, so in that regard Dell could be said to be correct. In summary then, it's the "thinnest Windows PC 15.4in laptop" you can get.
I've amended the article to reflect this, and do apologise for the initial faulty info.
Sorry but it's not that hard, there's not that many companies making thin laptops, maybe 3 at most, and you could start with the one this tries to emulate. It would have taken you 5 minutes to confirm such bold claim - which seems to be a major selling point in the article.
By the way the error is still there in several places:
"TrustedReviews says...
The thinnest 15.4in laptop in the world is a real looker, housed in a beautiful aluminium unibody exterior and magnesium alloy keyboard surround. "
So the article has not been amended. I guess the easiest solution would be to just change the intro to "TrustedPressReleases says..." ?
Sorry if I seem to pick especially on you, it's just that the whole media seems to get worse and worse by the day. "Facts" these days seem to come direct from companies' PR, if not random tweets by fly-by-night "insiders".
I do make sure to write to everyone I come across, in what may be a deluded attempt to fix what I perceive as a problem.
There are more than you would think. Still, if this had been a full review rather than a hands-on preview I would have checked what the exact thickness difference with any potential or actual rivals was.
No, the article was fully amended (including 'TrustedReviews says') before I made my comment, but unfortunately there's a cache which only gets refreshed at set periods (which can be up to several hours). As to "TrustedPressReleases" - it's a hands-on review, I didn't even have the press release to hand when writing it up...
I do understand what you mean, and I do always attempt to check my facts even when not writing a full review (as with the http://www.trustedreviews.com/lenovo-thinkpad-x1_Laptop_review X1 preview where Lenovo underplayed the fact that it tapered to quite a thick rear). But while we appreciate critical feedback, there is no need to do it in quite so disparaging a manner.
Thanks for reading and commenting all the same.
@Arjuna Thanks for replying Arjuna and clearing up the cache delay issue.
I'm very glad to know you do look more closely into your main articles.
Apologies for the disparaging-ness of my comments, it's just that TR has been regularly afflicted by mistakes in past reviews (often worse than this thickness issue) so my tolerance level for TR as a whole was already a bit low.
Truth be told I don't remember noticing any other problems in your articles, so should have taken that into account.
No worries, thanks for your reply to my reply :)
I do understand your frustration with cases of mindless press-release rehash, as it's something I personally abhor too (at least when it's disguised as a preview).
I appreciate your comment, and I'm glad to hear you haven't encountered inaccuracies in my other articles/reviews. I'll endeavour to make this a once-off.
Dear TR, I am really confused by the consistency of your reviews. Several references are made to the Macbook Pro 15 during your review. I have checked the Macbook Pro review and you gave the machine 8 for value even though the price as reviewed was nearing £1900. The Dell machine is given a lower value score even though it is £700 cheaper. You also criticise the Dell machine for not having a bluray drive but you do not criticise the Macbook.
Nav Garayal:
Thanks for the feedback, and I agree with your points - as I mention in the final paragraphs of my review, the XPS 15z is far better value than the MacBook Pro. In fact, to further emphasize this point, its value score is brought up to an eight.
However, regarding the scoring difference, when it came out the MacBook Pro had no real rivals, hence why it scored so highly. That would obviously be different now.
If it hadn't been for its average keyboard and noisiness under load, the XPS 15z would definitely have won a recommended award. These, along with battery life, are still aspects where Apple's product is superior.
AND the small but DEAL-BREAKING matter of Apple's 15" Macbook Pros having QUAD-CORE i7s where the Dell tops out with last generation DUAL-CORE i7s..
tut tut tut lol - this computer is not quite yet in the same league as the mac methinks...
and what about the Mac's Quad-core i7 vs the Dell's Dual?
It makes me smile every time ... TR does a piece comparing something to a Mac, and the whole world jumps down their throat...
A new twist to this one though is TR rated it less highly .... and still they get a kicking
Guys - it's just a laptop....
Ardjuna - for what it's worth I liked the review and thought it was a nicely presented case, well written detailing both the good and the bad of the machine
Whilst i agree that sometimes these reviews can be misleading/inaccurate etc, and not just this site, you have to remember that you pay nothing for this!
If you bought this review as a subscription then fair enough complain, otherwise stop nit-picking.
@ TheDon
You may want to check your facts. The Dell comes with the latest generations of Intel CPU's (Unless Apple filters your internet content for you).
Here are the CPU's available:
2nd Generation Intel® Core™ i5-2410M 2.3GHz, 4Threads, 3MB cache)
2nd Generation Intel® Core™ i5-2410M 2.3GHz, 4Threads, 3MB cache)
2nd Generation Intel® Core™ i7-2620M 2.7GHz, 4Threads, 4MB cache)
You might want to check YOUR facts before correcting someone else's. It does come with the latest generation of Intel CPU (which TheDon didn't question...) but the CPUs are indeed only dual core - remember that each core can support two threads via Hyperthreading. The quad core i7 in the MacBook Pro can consequently support 8 threads.
I think the disparity in scores can be explained by the different authors too, and ultimately parts of a review are down to personal opinion. I see the last Macbook Pro review was done by Hugo (who no longer writes for this site it seems). I think if Ardjuna had reviewed it, it might have scored differently (even considering its lack of rivals when released).
Anyway I'm not quibbling, as I find Ardjuna's reviews to be consistently interesting to read and accurate (and some of the best on this site).
Hardly DEAL-BREAKING. A valid point, but for most people and most tasks, a dual-core Core i7 is more than sufficient. And just look at the price difference!
Thanks, glad you liked the review!
Wow, thanks for your kind comment - made my day :)
I'll do my best to continue bringing our readers detailed and balanced reviews.
Oops, the classic mistake.. A Thread is NOT a CORE.
>> but for most people and most tasks
For most people even an Atom CPU does the job. But when going the high end CPU's, the difference between a Quad & a Dual is highly relevant.
I had a previous version of the XPS - and this one has the same problem: with all the acres of space around the keyboard, why do Dell not fit a full 104-key unit, with numeric pad? For about 500 quid less than this, I have an HP with a full keyboard, 17" screen, core i7, 8GB RAM, 640GB drive, blu-ray, and Win7 Ultimate. It's not quite as pretty, but it's a far better spec machine. The Dell wins only on screen res and nice mag finish.
My core i7 machine shows 8 threads in task manager; it's a quad-core 64-bit. And no, it's not a macBook, it's an HP Pavilion.
I reckon it's not the thinnest PC laptop. My Nokia 3G is thinner.
As as pround owner of both the 15z and the Macbook, I'll give you the quick and dirty synopsis.. If this makes any difference, I work in Marketing for a large IT services company, and I am more than technical.
As nice as ithe 15z is (if you're going to obviously compare to a Mac) it doesn't come close. The screen is nice and feels like it's the most expensive item of the product. When you're typing on the keyboard it feels like you're going to put your fingers through the machine - it feels cheap compared to the sturdiness of the Mac.
It DOES NOT run Win7 like the Mac runs OSX (I nuked mine, put on Ultimate 64, and started from fresh a fresh install.
Mac wins hands down, on design, build and (of course) should do for the extra expense...
That's all it comes down to. How much do you want to invest..

Race one of the day and number two in the series, had some trouble at the start including two general recalls as well as a race abandonment called by the Race Committee due to troubles with mark placement. The second start for race one went perfectly with Travis Weisleder on Lucky Dog taking the early lead with a great start heading up the beat and then extending for the win. Russell Lucas on Shimmer also had a wonderful start then battled with Weisleder throughout the race finishing up second. James Wilson on Oleander stayed close to the top with great course positioning then sneaked past Bohica owned by Erwyn Naidoo right at the end to solidify a third place finish.
With an all clear start, the second race of the day went perfectly as sailors began to acclimate themselves to the racing conditions. Several boats had great starts which proved to be crucial including John Kilroy on Samba Pi Ti, Russell Lucas on Shimmer, Tom Ritter on Tramp, and Robert Wilber on Cinghiale giving their boats a clear advantage in the end. Race two was perfect with the entire fleet reaching the first mark simultaneously. Coming into the final mark, Lucas and crew flew past the competition taking a huge lead and extending for the win. Ritter kept his position and finished second. Kilroy and Wilber went head-to-head the entire race but Wilber prevailed by seconds at the finish to take third.
Lucas and his crew on Shimmer had an impeccable day with a 2-1-2 punch. 'We had great starts and that was crucial in our success.' said Lucas. 'We also realized the importance of slow tacking and jibing in light air conditions. We were very calm, had fun, and giggled a lot. Overall it was a great day and we look forward to more sailing tomorrow.'
For the third and final race of the day, and fourth in the series, Alessandro Rombelli on STIG came on strong to capture the win. Lucas on Shimmer continued his dominance and finished second. Marcus Eagan's Cajun Underwriting, a total Corinthian boat, had a great day with a 6-8-3 scoreline to finish with a respectable third.
Eagan sails with his brother and father, and has had a wonderful regatta thus far sitting second overall after two days of racing. 'It is a blast sailing with my family and especially with my dad.' said Eagan. 'It is an honor to go up against the biggest names in the sailing world and is why we come out here to compete. Sailing in the Audi Melges 20 fleet is like having the opportunity to playing against Tiger Woods, and who wouldn't want that opportunity? These guys are great, and you see them in other classes are they are always amazing. I can't wait to get out there tomorrow for one last day of sailing.'
After racing the fleet met for a fun and casual debriefing session led by Andy Burdick with Melges USA. Harry Melges, along with Anthony Kotoun and brothers Jonathan and Charlie McKee also chimed in with excellent sailing advice to the fleet intently looking on. These short, yet informative debriefing sessions are really special. They are designed to add major insight and value to those who are new to the fleet or just want to want hear how the best in the industry handled the day's challenging racing conditions. Thanks Melges USA!
The Audi Melges 20 Miami Winter Series Event No. 1 will continue tomorrow with the first start of two races beginning at 10:30am.

I thought I would take a minute to say hello, and announce a few things.
In the last six months I have moved from Michigan to GA, and have started a software development company among other endeavors.
While I am no where near the end of some of the trials I have been facing the last year, I am now treading water, and I have some time to finally get back to what I love. Teaching, building, and creating with my hands.
That being said first and foremost, I owe some people a few things. I purposefully stopped taking any orders for money long before I made my move. However I still have a couple of Fett Parts that were loaned to me, that I did not get back to people before moving. Because my move was more necessary than wanted, I simply had to pack up anything valuable in a set of boxes and store the rest. Rest assured, I have your items and you will get them back. And I feel terrible that I still have them. I also have a set of HIC feet from someone that ordered one of the last HICS I pulled and never got the feet. If anyone knows who's they are, please contact me.
So, moving forward. I have a small shop area now. I have my HIC molds, as well as interior kits and EE3 molds about. I would love to do a run of them soon. Lord knows I could use the money. The problem is I have approximately 130 private messages. I don't know how long it will take to get through them all. If you have messaged me and I have not gotten back to you, please know that it is not personal.
One of the primary projects of my software company is an online sales and management tool that will launch in the next few months. It should really help me communicate and manage my projects and items for sale. I dare say revolutionize it. More on that soon.
I am also considering breaking free of the madness and going to the con in ATL next month. So if anyone is going to be there, please let me know.
I look forward to re-kindling old friendships, and to be honest, TDH has gotten me through some tough times. So I owe some payback.
Thanks, and talk soon,
Mike Mason

Outlines of English and American Literature
Revolutionary Poetry
Long, William J.
The poetry of the Revolution, an abundant but weedy crop, was badly influenced by two factors: by the political strife between Patriots and Loyalists, and by the slavish imitation of Pope and other formalists who were then the models for nearly all versifiers on both sides of the Atlantic. The former influence appears in numerous ballads or narrative poems, which were as popular in the days of Washington as ever they were in the time of Robin Hood. Every important event of the Revolution was promptly celebrated in verse; but as the country was then sharply divided, almost every ballad had a Whig or a Tory twist to it. In consequence we must read two different collections, such as Moore's
Songs and Ballads of the American Revolution
and Sargent's
Loyalist Poetry of the Revolution
, for supplementary views of the same great struggle.
The Hartford Wits
The influence of Pope and his school is especially noticeable in the work of a group of men called the Hartford Wits, who at the beginning of our national life had the worthy ambition to create a national literature. Prominent among these so-called wits were Joel Barlow (1754-1812) and Timothy Dwight (1752-1817). In such ponderous works as Barlow's
and Dwight's
Conquest of Canaan
, both written in mechanical rhymed couplets, we have a reflection not of the glories of American history, as the authors intended, but of two aspiring men who, without genius or humor, hoped by industry to produce poems that in size at least should be worthy of a country that stretched between two oceans.
More gifted than either of his fellow "wits" was John Trumbull (1750-1831), who had the instinct of a poet but who was led aside by the strife of Whigs and Tories into the barren field of political satire. His best-known work is
(1775), a burlesque poem in the doggerel style of Butler's
, which ridiculed a Tory squire and described his barbarous punishment at the hands of a riotous mob of Whigs. It was the most widely quoted poem of the entire Revolutionary period, and is still interesting as an example of rough humor and as a reflection of the militant age in which it was produced.

From what I've heard, it's a compact single stack 9mm, which basically looks like a shrunken 226. They appear to be a bit rare nowadays. I never see them at gun shows, for instance.
It gets high marks from those that claim to be in the know, but I don't see much functional difference between it and the 239, other than cosmetic. I've never owned one, of course. Maybe my opinion would change if I ever shot or owned one.
I'd just like to find one and see what all the hype is about.


text: Hello there, I am the owner of The Weaver & Poje Love tumblr. Here is the Fan Q & A that we did with Kaitlyn Weaver and Andrew Poje. I know some of you might be interested in reading it. Enjoy! Original post: http://theweaverpojelove.tumblr.com/post/32553054088/fan-q-a-with-kaitlyn-weaver-andrew-poje Fan Q & A with Kaitlyn WEAVER and Andrew POJE Je suis malade the highlight of their career British Eurosport commentators said after your FD performance at Worlds that you didnt only interpret the story, you lived it. How did you get into Je suis malades mood, feeling of the drama, of all that strong emotion? KW: Every time we performed Je Suis Malade whether it be in practice, simulation, or competition, we had distinct characters to portray and emotions to feel. By putting ourselves into the situation of the story, and tapping into some of our OWN life experiences, the emotions and expressions of the program were easy to feel for us from the soul. However, it did not start like this! AP: At the beginning of the season, we both understood the story we wanted to get across but we did not know how to make it readable to the audience. So we enlisted the help of an actor named Geoffrey Tyler to help us start the process of understanding what we wanted to say and how to show it. This helped us to create an image and feeling that we could come back to throughout the season. How did you manage to cut out (or to make us forget about) the technical and competitive aspects of the program? KW: Thank you for that great compliment, as that is always our goal in our programs. With the International Judging System, ice dance is extremely technical; however we always want to tell a story and connect to the audience. Despite the extreme difficulty of our elements, our team of coaches helped us to highlight each and every step of the program. A crossover is just as important as a lift in a spectators eyes, so we did not want to waste a single second that we could be telling a part of the story and connecting it with the rest of the program. One of our teachers, Kathy Johnson, has been showing us the importance of intention, and we understand that if we feel the program, the audience will feel the program. Everybody inside has the same feelings, but different experiences that help us tap into those feelings. Our connection and commitment to this idea helps us to skate through the program effortlessly and not be so technically minded. Between all the performances of Je suis Malade which one is special for you? why? AP: Each performance had its special moments for certain reasons: for example, Skate Canada was the first time we got feedback from an audience and where we understood it could be a great program. Also, performing on the Stars on Ice Tour gave us a chance to focus on the story without having the stress of having technical elements, which made us even more committed. As for my favourite, it would be the Grand Prix Final, because it was the first time we knew the audience truly understood not the only the words but the emotions behind them. We also felt proud of ourselves that we accomplished the daunting task of being in competition-mode every other week, while still creating new moments each time. Life/skating experiences Lets talk about your 2009/2010 Flamenco OD. You went to Spain to learn about flamenco and work with Antonio Najarro. Can you shed some more light on the process of constructing that dance? Would you share with us the most valuable things you took away from that experience? KW: Going to Spain in the summer of 2009 was an amazing experience we will never forget. Our coach, Pasquale Camerlengo, advised us to work with Antonio and after watching his videos online, we were 100 percent sold. However there was something special about going to Madrid that is hard to describe. We, for a week, were people of Spain: taking in the culture, understanding the language, watching live Flamenco shows in the theatre, and even shopping for fans! Antonio is an amazing teacher, and he taught me that no matter how cold it was in the rink, I would take the ice as if I was in Madrid in 100-degree weather! Because of our trip, I had perfect imagery to come back to and we felt like we knew the dance inside and out. We built the program solely on the floor, and Antonio was my personal fan tutor! Funny enough, throughout the season I became a master of working with the fan, but when I was learning, I think I broke ten fans that first week alone! Looking back, we cannot say enough about Antonio as a person and mentor, and hope that we will work with him again in the future. This year you had the honor to be member of cast of SOI. How was your experience? How is Kurt Browning affecting your skating? KW: Becoming a Stars on Ice cast member has always been a dream for me since I was a little girl. When I was small, I went to one of the shows and saw Angelika Krylova and Oleg Ovsiannikov perform. It was that very moment I knew I wanted to become a champion ice dancer. Being on Tour was a huge learning experience, and such a dream come true. Kurt taught me enough that I could write a short novel about it, but the biggest thing Ill take away is how much fun we all had on the ice as a groupsharing our passion with Canadians across the country. AP: Being on Stars surpassed my expectations of what I thought a show could be like. It helped me not only grow friendships amongst cast and crew; it helped us to grow our skating differently than how we could have at home. Kurt has always been a childhood hero, and to be able to work under his tutelage was a dream come true. He choreographed the show like he skates, and thats one thing that helped me grow as a skater. He makes everything look so easy, but I can assure you, its not! What attracts you the most in participating in ice shows? AP: The opportunity to be in front of an audience and to help us grow as artists, not only as athletes. KW: I love the feeling of connecting to an audience, and I feel like a show provides an atmosphere where its easier to do that. Ice dance is an expression of our soul, just like a painter or a musician, and to share that with people and in a way thank them for appreciating our sport is my favourite thing. I think both of you have long-term educational goals. Can you work on those at the same time that you train intensively as ice dancers, or do those goals have to be put on hold? If you are working on them, how do you balance that with the time demands of your ice dance training? KW & AP: We are both currently students at the University of Waterloo in Waterloo, Ontario. Even though we train in Detroit, we are able to still pursue our educational goals at a distance. We usually take one or two courses online per semester, and it really helps to create a diversion to everyday training and gives our minds a break. It doesnt take much each day to keep our studies up, but consistency is very important! Thankfully our teachers are also understanding of our predicament and they help support us where they can. If you were putting together a young ice dance team, what would be the most important things that you would look for? Talent? Work ethic? Particular personality traits? Other things that you consider important to ice dance success? AP: I think a love for the sport and competitive spirit are the most important. KW: Putting together a young ice dance team would be SO much fun!!! But I think Andrew hit it right on the head. I for one did not have any natural talent as a young dancer whereas Andrew has all the talent in the world. But both of us have a love for the sport that makes anything possible. You have had great coaches throughout your careers. If you were giving advice to young skaters or their parents, what suggestions would you give them in choosing a coach? Is finding a great coach largely a matter of luck, or are there particular things that the skaters or parents can look for in the coach? KW: Everyones path to greatness is different. Our path has led us to work with a myriad of extremely talented coaches, mentors, and skaters that have helped to mould us into the team we are today. AP: Both the parents and the skater must have trust in their coach. I think thats most important. Every teacher is different, but knowledge and passion for the sport are inherent in every successful coach/mentor. Kaitlyn, was the move to Canada a difficult transition? KW: I was so excited to skate with Andrew after the tryout that moving to Canada was not a difficult transition. Thankfully, the Kitchener-Waterloo community was so incredibly kind and generous to me and truly made me feel at home. My coaches, my partner, and the amazing Poje family made my transition so easy and comfortable. I was more than excited to start on my new adventure with Andrew and I dont regret any of those decisions for the world. In the beginning, I was ostracized by some of my American friends, but over time, Andrew and I found many friends around the world and deep down, countries dont define friendship! Figure skating memories What is your all-time favorite program? What is your favorite execution of it and why? KW: This is a hard question, because every program has a special place in my heart for different reasons. I think my favorite program is Je Suis Malade. Our Dr. Zhivago free dance is a close second, and our At Last short dance is tied with Moulin Rouge for third. My favorite execution that really stands out to me is performing our At Last short dance at the Canadian championships where we were gunning for gold. We took the ice with a perfect demeanor: calm, relaxed, and connected. It was an amazing high for us to finish that program and receive a standing O and I was in complete bliss for the entire two minutes and fifty seconds. Moving to Malade though, its hard to pick a favorite, as Andrew was talking about earlier. Im so proud though that we could connect with the audience everywhere we performed it, and received seven standing ovations during that competitive season. AP: My favorite program and performance would be our Phantom of the Opera free dance at the Four Continents Championships in 2010. Its not because it was our greatest skate or greatest achievement, but because we showed the world and more importantly ourselves that no matter what, our goals are greater than the adversity we encounter. What are your most memorable performances/skating programs from figure skating history (could be in ice dance or all disciplines)? AP: My favorite program is Kurt Brownings Singing in the Rain TV special. It stands out in my mind because it was the first time that I realized figure skating was more than a technical sport. It can be a form of artistry as well, and no matter when I watch the program, I always leave the video with a smile! KW: My all-time favorite program is the Michael Jackson free dance by Shae-Lynn Bourne and Victor Kraatz during the 2002 Olympics. I think Ive watched that video a thousand times, and it will never, ever get old. Andrew makes fun of me because I can replicate most of the choreography! It was such an exciting performance and reminds me of an important message. Even though they fell at the end of the program and lost the Olympic medal, they committed whole-heartedly to the entire dance and laid everything on the line, at the biggest competition of their career. The fearlessness and courage they displayed is so inspiring to me. Who is your favorite retired dance team? Who is your favorite current dance team? KW: I think it would be impossible for me to choose a favorite retired dance team! I consider myself a big figure skating fan, and I grew up watching countless videos and studying each team. However, among my favorites are: Annenko/Sretinsky, Bourne/Kraatz, Krylova/Ovsiannikov, Torvill/Dean, Dubreuil/Lauzon, Grushina/Goncharov, and Grishuk/Platov. Growing up I thought every team of the past had a quality to model myself after, so I took something from everyone. Currently, my favorite team is Virtue/Moir. I believe they are the most well rounded team on the circuit and incorporate not only a finely honed technical skill, but also great choreography and story telling. AP: I would have to say my favourite past ice dancers would be Shae and Victor because I grew up with them, and they inspired me to dance. Every team in the sport currently stands out for different reasons in my mind, because they all have different attributes I admire. I train to become a better-rounded skater by using these teams as inspiration. Interaction with other skaters What are the good things about having a direct competitor (Péchelat/Bourzat) training at the same rink as you do? What are the bad things (or perhaps there aren't any)? Do you learn things from them? Do they learn things from you? Do you sometimes feel some rivalry? AP: There are lots of benefits to having Nathalie and Fabian at our rink. Because we are both pushing for the same goal, its easy for us to use our competitive spirits to work off of each other. They help us to grow every day by not letting us become complacent. KW: We don't see any negative things to training with our direct competitors. Quite the contrary; not only are we motivated, but it also adds an extra level of comfort when we are traveling abroad and performing at competitions. Theres someone there who has shared everything with you and luckily the four of us are all friends. Nath and Fab are extremely strong and well-seasoned skaters, so we learn from them all the time. And of course we feel some rivalry, but its never malicious or intense. We use it to benefit the both of us. There are quite a few teams training at your rink who have less experience than you do. Do you do any mentoring of them? KW: Our group is extraordinary because it spans across many levels of ice dance. There are several younger teams who sometimes share the ice with us, and we are very sensitive to how they view us and how they view high-level ice dance. We try to be good role-models on and off the ice, and when someone is having a bad day, no matter what level, theres always a training mate there to help cheer them up. Even though we are all from different countries, speak different languages or what have you, we are all very supportive of each other. The present Can you tell us more about your short dance? What pieces of music did you chose from The Sound of Music soundtrack? Do you have a concept for your costumes? KW: Despite our initial trepidation for skating the Yankee Polka in a short dance, we actually really enjoy our program this year to The Sound of Music. Weve used a medley from the soundtrack arrangedby Arthur Fiedler, including Edelweiss, Favourite Things, and Do Re Mi. We have a lot of fun with this program and the characters are so easy to get into! I love Julie Andrews and I surely dont mind watching the movie over and over to better study it! Why did you choose The Sound of Music for your short dance? AP: We chose the Sound of Music for our short dance because its one of our favourite movies. Kaitlyn brought up the music on the flight home from Nice because shes a person who can never get her mind off skating and our team quickly took to the idea. The music for the short dance became even more poignant with the passing of my Oma (grandmother). I am of German descent, and have grown up with the German/Austrian culture surrounding me. Edelweiss was amongst my Omas favourite songs, and gives it that much more meaning to skate to as a tribute to her spirit. What made you chose to work with So You Think You Can Dance star Allison Holker for this year's FD? Where the idea did came from? AP: We wanted to bring integrity to our choreography and knowing that we wanted to take a contemporary approach, our team knew we needed to enlist the help of a specialist in that field. We watch So You Think You Can Dance on a regular basis, and Allison was Kaitlyns all-time favourite. KW: We reached out to several potential choreographers, and when Allison responded so positively, we knew that she would be the perfect match. It was a risk to use someone that has never choreographed for figure skating before, but Andrew, Pasquale and I thought that it would bring fresh ideas and a new outlook to our program. We were right! AP: Allison was amazing to work with and was probably the most fun wed ever had choreographing a program. She and Pasquale meshed so well together and I think weve created something unique and different. What is the music of your new Free Dance? How did you choose it? KW: The music of our new free dance is from The Legion of Extraordinary Dancers, a dance group that also has a mini-series online. Its a combination of modern and classical, and is a huge departure for us. We always want to push ourselves to different heights through different styles. AP: This year was different than others because we chose our story before we chose the music. Kaitlyn came up with the inspiration of the story, and after explaining the concept, Pasquale came up with the perfect soundtrack. Its funny because Stella, Pasquales seven year-old daughter was playing on his iPad and came across the video on YouTube. It immediately caught his attention, and he called us right after! How lifts have changed in execution and difficulty throughout your carrier (especially with the new levels system) and where do you get new ideas for lifts? AP: With the development and enhancement of the judging system, it has pushed us to come up with ideas that still conform to the rules, yet are unique and individual to us. KW: Our lifts have definitely become more difficult as the years go on, but weve also found some incomplex lifts that satisfy the technical panel yet are still stylistic and beautiful. Sometimes music doesnt call for acrobatics, and I think we find lifts that best suit our abilities and also our music. What is your schedule when you are training in Detroit/describe your typical day? AP: Our day starts early in the morning with our first practice around 7am. After a few hours on the ice, we have a lunch break and a ballet class; then our second practice, followed by a session in the gym. Depending on the day, we will have another dance class or spend time stretching in the ballet room. What and who is involved in designing and making your costumes? Which of you two has more input, besides your coaching team? KW: We dont really have a recipe for our costumes; each year is very different from the last! Some years we will utilize a ballroom company, while others, like this year, we are trying out a theatrical designer for the first time. I even go back to the dressmaker that made my childhood costumes. We like to receive opinions from our large team though, because everyone has a unique perspective and great advice on packaging. While both of us definitely have to agree and feel comfortable and confident in our costumes, I would say I have a little more input. How does your music picking and choreography process go? How much input do you have in it? AP: Our entire team searches for our music each year. Every season is different, with inspiration coming from different places. I think everyone knows the story of how Je Suis Malade was chosen, when an anonymous fan sent it in through our website. Other years, Kaitlyn and I have found the music ourselves. Whats most important is that we are connected to the music and feel like we have a story to tell with it. If we arent connected, then we wont want to listen to it and interpret it for a whole year! As far as the choreography goes, Pasquale is the boss. Even if we use outside choreographers or helpers, he is the person who always stays constant. We have a little bit of input because Pasquale will always tailor the programs perfectly to the team, but if he has a vision, its our job to embody it! Who normally handle better the pressure just before stepping on the ice? KW: We both handle the pressure best when were together. Individually I think we would be more nervous, but it seems that before every performance, we fill in each others weak or doubting spots. For example, if Im nervous one day, Andrew will help me push through it and maintain my mojo. If Andrew is nervous, then I know how to help him center and focus. Id say though that Ive been more nervous in the past, definitely. But now that we are becoming more confident in our programs and abilities, we are both able to handle the pressure quite well, remembering one thingno matter how big or small the competition is, our job remains the same! When/where do you plan to officially open the competition this season? AP: Im proud to say that our first competition will be at the 2012 Ondrej Nepela Memorial Trophy in Bratislava, Slovakia. I am half Slovakian, so Im very excited to unveil our programs in front of a warm crowd of friends and family! KW: Im also happy that we are flying through Austria, because that is where the Sound of Music was set! We get a bit of history on our journey before competing! Do you think you have found your own skating style? Can you define it? AP: I think a goal we have always had is to not be defined as a one-style team. We feel that it would not be pushing our limits as competitors and artists. We always try to ensure to push the boundaries of what we think our comfort zone is. KW: I agree, but adding to that, I think our skating style could be defined as emotional. It doesnt block us in to any one style of music, but I know that if we can emotionally relate to the piece, then it will be a good program! Its very hard for me to turn off that part of my brain and just focus technically, which can sometimes get me into trouble! Ha ha The future What is your dream piece of music to skate to? KW: I have about one hundred dream pieces of music! Several are pieces that we have already used, while some I like to keep in my collection until the time is right. One of my all-time dream pieces of music was The Phantom of the Opera, and lucky for me we were able to use it for our free dance one year. I have a very special piece that Im saving for later and I think that will have to stay under wraps until then! AP: I never put too much thought into looking ahead I tend to take it year by year with our music and programs. My favourite piece always tends to be the one Im currently skating to! What are your goals for the upcoming season? AP: We want to continue growing in our partnership, and pushing to continue our upward momentum! I feel like weve just started to taste what we can achieve. KW: I agree with Andrew completely. Each year we make more and more progress in so many different areas. Not only do we grow technically each year, we are starting to own our skating and show our passion on the ice confidently. I also definitely believe we can jump onto the World podium and make history by having two Canadian dance teams in the top three. What are your future plans beyond Sochi? Retirement or continuing amateur skating? KW & AP: We like to take our career four years at a time, so for now we can only think as far ahead as Sochi! We are still very young, and there could be many more years in our future, but a lot depends on how we feel then, and if we think that weve accomplished all we can do in the sport! Trivia Kaitlyn, what is your favorite meal from what Andrew cooks? KW: I love when Andrew barbecues pizza! He chops up all of my favourite vegetables and fresh mozzarella and it always tastes delicious! (To both) What is your favorite book? AP: Its hard for me to pick a favourite book because Im not much of a reader even though Im trying to correct that. One series of books that are at the top of my list right now would be the Dan Brown series: The Da Vinci Code, Angeles and Demons, and The Lost Symbol. KW: My favourite book is The Five People You Meet in Heaven by Mitch Albom. I have a lot of titles on my list of favourites, but this one really hit home and has stayed in my heart ever since I read it for the first time. Its about how you can inadvertently affect someone elses life, for the better or worse, and is an incredible story. I really recommend it! What is your favorite dessert? KW: ANYTHING sweet! I am a huge dessert fan, and I can never, ever, turn down a cookie. AP: Unlike Kaitlyn Im not one to go straight for the dessert table. I would much rather have another plate of an entrée. But if I were to have a dessert, it would be real Italian-style gelato. Andrew, which of Kaitlyns costumes is your favorite? Kaitlyn, same question for you (about Andrews costumes). AP: Tiger! Its always one that puts a smile on not just my face but hers as well! KW: I think my favourite is going to be Andrews new free dance costume. It is made out of really neat materials and is a different look than what he usually has. What is your favorite thing about each other? AP: Being with Kaitlyn always makes me feel better about myself because she laughs at my silly jokes! More importantly, I know that no matter what, I can trust her whole-heartedly. KW: Andrew knows me better than sometimes I know myself, and I know hes always there for me. I am so lucky to have him as a partner and mostly, a best friend. Can you describe each other in three words? KW: Caring, courageous, and creative. AP: Intelligent, beautiful, and kind. Kaitlyn & Andrew's message for their fans "Wed like to add a personal, heart felt THANK YOU to everyone who has stuck with us on our journey. Sometimes we both wake up in the morning and wonder how we got to the place we are at now, and none of it would be possible without the help of our family and fans. No matter what, we know where to look for a word of encouragement, and you all are ALWAYS there for us. We are trying our very best every day to make you all proud. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! We are so blessed." The Weaver & Poje Love Tumblr would love to thank: Kaitlyn Weaver and Andrew Poje for giving their fans the opportunity to ask them questions and to know more about them.

How Cowduck got her name
Posted on March 29, 2013
Few perhaps, aside from Joel Relihan, Associate Provost and Professor of Classics, recall how Cowduck came to be named Cowduck. Joel referred me to Francoise Rosset, Assoc. Professor of Russian, who shares the following story:
"The story is that Pierre-Andre Houpert, Class of 2010, came up with the name. He wasn't even in high school then...just a faculty kid living on campus. Back then, some time around 2001, Pierre-Andre used to occasionally come to Russian club events with me. He found my students terribly cool and some of them had adopted him as a little brother. Pierre-Andre remembers clearly that my student "Chum," Anh-Tram Tran, Class of 2003, was there when Cowduck was named. They had a silly conversation about fictitious "cults of rubber duckies," and decided that the campus ducks were emissaries of The Great Duck. In the process, Pierre-Andre said this one duck had "spots like a cow" therefore she was "cow-duck!" Pierre-Andre now says he was trying to show how funny and clever he was to the cool students. Chum circulated the name to other students, and as far as anyone knows, that's how Cowduck got her name!"
Thank you, Francoise, for sharing a story that needed to be told. And thank you, Pierre-Andre, for giving "Cowduck" a name to remember!

King of KDistros
Please pick your choice(s) and vote on the poll I created to this effect. Once the poll closes, I will download the latest releases from the four distros with most votes and put together my review.
Thanks for your help... Now vote away!
12 comments:
That is an interesting thing, voting now!!!ReplyDelete
I seew now, you should really consider also Mandriva, Mageia and Mepis, because they are also KDE centric.ReplyDelete
Thanks for your comments, David!ReplyDelete
I was hesitant to include Chakra because of it is a very young project, but it´s one of the most active and already doing very impressive stuff. Mageia is even younger, and according to my testing, it is still way too close to Mandriva to say something relevant. I think it should moving forward, though.
Mandriva has suffered many company changes and its development is not that significant. I think PCLinuxOS can pretty much cover its legacy with more interesting features and a better KDE implementation.
As for Mepis, well, I have never tried it, but I don´t think it´s as popular or as rapidly growing as some of the names in my list?
My point being, I am sure everyone will have another name that I should have captured, but I think that list already incorporates a meaningful KDE distro sample with plenty of variety.
Can´t wait to see the winners!
I voted PCLinuxOS. I suppose I am partial to it since it was my first Linux distro, however, of the many KDE based setups I've used, PCLinuxOS felt like the most well put-together and integrated distro.ReplyDelete
Anyone who hasn't used all of the distros listed really shouldn't be voting IMO ;)ReplyDelete
Fedora has a very good KDE spin as well. Of those listed, I think OpenSuse is the best.ReplyDelete
@JeffHoogland: That would be the best way to do it, no doubt, but I think 2 or 3 votes is all I'd get!ReplyDelete
Ryan: I agree that Fedora does a good job, but I think of it more like a GNOME distro, even more so now, when they invested so much into GNOME3.
Best way personally, is search on distro-watch and use KDE as one of the search options. That way you can download and virtually try ones that interest you. Then install the one that suits you best.ReplyDelete
Debian KDE and aptosid are also left out. I think aptosid would be a very strong contender for a KDE centric distro.ReplyDelete
- DamjanJuly 25, 2011 at 3:54 AM
Escaping from Unity/GNOME3 hell I recently also tried several KDE distros and so far the ones I like the most are Mandriva and Pardus. I also quite liked PCLinuxOSReplyDelete
Hey Chema,ReplyDelete
i like your blog and this is going to be off topic but i'd like to read a review from you about AriOS (arioslinux.org)
Keep up the good work!
Hi, Davide,ReplyDelete
Thanks for your comments. I have checked arioslinux.org out and I will certainly give it a spin, but if it is based over Ubuntu 11.04 and Unity (getting that from the screenshots), I must admit it´s already starting on the wrong foot for me.
I will check it out nevertheless, thanks!


text: I'm testing soon, and I'm wearing a black halter style dress. I am not big chested at all (hence why I could get away with such dress)...in fact I am really flat in that area...anyway I just realized that one of my elements for pre-bronze FS is a spiral...lol I have a pretty good one hence I am picking it instead of a lunge... and although there ain't "nothing to see" in the chest area of my body I figured I should cover it up more so I want to patch up my dress with that flesh/nude colored material they use for dresses. Can I get those at regular fabric stores, like Joanne Fabric? Otherwise I guess I'll have to do a lunge or I do my spiral right after I skate past the judges LoL.

Arsenal take on Manchester United at Old Trafford, and are 15/4 with GunnersGaming to emerge victorious in what will be a tough test for Arsène Wenger's side.
The Gunners have not won at Old Trafford in the Premier League since registering a 1-0 victory back in the 2006/07 season.
A repeat of that outcome is priced up at 23/2, while 1-1 is also worth considering at 51/10.
Mikel Arteta, who scored last weekend in the 1-0 win over QPR, looks a lively outsider at 20/1 to score first and can be backed at 25/4 to score anytime.
Finally, over 2.5 goals is sure to be a popular bet at 8/13. However, prior to last season's 8-2 win for United, this fixture had consistently been a hard fought affair with just 11 goals scored between the two sides at Old Trafford in 8 seasons. That stat makes under 2.5 goals in this encounter look attractive at 6/5.

The Joint Degree MAIS/MBA Program enables students to receive two separate diplomas: a Master of Arts in International Studies (MAIS) degree and a Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree. However, the Joint MAIS/MBA Degree Program allows students in the joint degree program to count up to 16 units of course work completed in the MAIS program toward completion of the MBA degree. Thus, students can complete all requirements for both degrees in as little as two years of full-time study, compared to 3+ years for the MBA and MAIS programs if taken separately.
The Master of Arts in International Studies (MAIS) has concentrations in International Business, International Education, and International Development, alongside a 12-month internship in the People's Republic of China (PRC). Only students in the International Business concentration are eligible for the Joint MAIS/MBA Degree Program. There are 38 units of coursework in the MAIS program.
The Master of Business Administration (MBA) is composed of approximately one year of core courses and one year of elective courses, all taken part time while working. The courses for
the MBA will be offered at Concordia University's Irvine campus in California. There are 40 units of coursework in the MBA program.
This is a joint degree program which would include the coursework for the MAIS degree (International Business concentration) and the core and capstone MBA courses. As opposed to the 78 units required for both programs taken separately, the Joint MAIS/MBA Degree Program is approximately 62 units total.
The number of continuing students accepted into the joint degree program may be limited by the availability of space in the MAIS and MBA degree programs. In keeping with the academic standards required for the joint degree program, continuing students must have a graduate
Grade Point Average (GPA) of at least 3.0 to be considered for the joint degree program. For students who have only completed one term of course work in their first degree, admission to the joint degree
program may be made conditional on the satisfactory completion of a second term of course work and the maintenance of a 3.0 GPA.
Students in the Joint MAIS/MBA Degree Program must fulfill the requirements of both degrees. Students are expected to work with program directors or coordinators in each degree program to ensure that all requirements are completed.
