…a book that doesn't grab your attention, that is.
Some of us feel an obligation to finish a book once we have started it. We've become invested in it and should press on to the end.
Reader advisory expert and book reviewer, Nancy Pearl, encourages readers to give themselves permission to stop reading a book. She even has a "rule": if you are 50 or younger, read at least 50 pages before you commit to reading it. If you are over 50, subtract your age from 100 and that is the number of pages you should read before deciding to read to the end or give up and move on to another title. Her theory is the older you are, the less time you have to read all the books on your list.
I like this "rule". Some books just don't grab my attention or it's not the right time. I might want a lighthearted book, this one is serious. For those titles, I'll keep them on my list, but come back to them at another time.
I think it is Thomas Jefferson who wrote "so many books, so little time", but whoever it is, it makes the point of Nancy's approach – move on to a book that engages you, ignites your imagination, takes you to new places.
We have many good books, come visit soon.

The air these days is filled with loud angry statements by those who defend Sgt. Crowley against what is viewed as a slur upon his name. The assumption of these defenders is that President Obama called Sgt. Crowley "stupid." Actually, he never did, he referred to the arrest as an example of "stupidity." I am often bemused at the virulent anger displayed by defenders of Crowley. During the initial days of their defense many challenged those attacking the police officer to check his report and tapes. Well, many have checked his report and the tapes. It is now PROVEN that Sgt. Crowley made a "mistake" by saying the eye witness said there were two black men with knapsacks on the porch. Ms. Whalen's said there were two suitcases and under questioning said one of them might have been "Hispanic." In other words, the Crowley report is erroneous.
Did Sgt. Crowly lie? Of course not! He was excited, felt stress and heard words never spoken. Anyone reading my words has suffered through many such occurrences in their own lives. In moments of stress we hear what we want to hear. In so doing, WE MAKE A MISTAKE. Wow. Sgt. Crowley is a human. I thought it was regrettable during his meeting with Gates he failed to acknowledge his mistakes in the written report.
The bottom line is that President Obama was perfectly correct in terming the entire incident an example of "stupidity." Sorry, if this incident happened in a wealthy neighborhood and the man identified himself as the white CEO of a major company, Sgt. Crowley would have said: "sorry for the intrusion. I just wanted to check everything was OK. Have a good one" and gone his merry way.
Every study of police halting people indicates African Americans and Hispanics are halted at least ten times more frequently than white people. Gates belonged to a group who have, historically, been racially profiled and humiliated. He was upset, angry, confused, and ready to strike back at what he thought was another example of racial profiling. Perfectly understandable, and, perhaps, in this case incorrect. No one knows what was going on in the mind of Sgt. Crowley, but certainly when a black elderly man identified himself as the owner of the house, regardless of his tone of voice, the matter should have been dropped.
Those of you who seek to blame Obama as insulting all police might seek to ask Sgt. Crowley whether he unintentionally was insulting all African Americans.

When Carson Palmer is the best quarterback to change teams this offseason, you know the field of available QBs is pretty barren. Wednesday saw a handful of signal-callers get deals, but barring injury, you probably won't hear much from them this season.
The Redskins signed a pair of quarterbacks, Rex Grossman and Pat White. Grossman has spent the past two seasons in Washington. White, a second-round draft pick by the Dolphins in 2009, last played professional football with the Virginia Destroyers of the United Football League in 2011.
Elsewhere, the Seahawks signed Josh Portis to a two-year contract. He is now the direct backup to Russell Wilson. Portis, 25, has never played in an NFL game and was cut from the Seahawks' practice squad in Novemeber.
Finally, the Bengals claimed Cardinals castoff John Skelton from waivers. He will compete with Josh Johnson to be Cincinnati's second-stringer.
Fantasy Analysis:
The Redskins now have four quarterbacks under contract. None of these players are a major threat for playing time this season, but White, who once announced his retirement from football a couple of years ago, is actually the most interesting player from this group, because we know he can run, and he could fit in the Redskins' read-option offense. Perhaps he sees a play or two out of some sort of Wildcat formation? Maybe.
Or he might get cut in a few months. Either way, his fantasy value is very, very, very small. All of these other guys won't play unless the starter gets hurt or, in the case of Andy Dalton, benched.

In his CM: the Next Generation series, Joe Farah gives us a glimpse into the trends that CM experts will need to tackle and master based upon industry trends and future technology challenges.
Version Control
Unix, with its SCCS capability, practically made version control a household name - at least for Unix software developers. On the VAX, it was CMS. Then came RCS and CVS. Some of these tried to be VC tools and did very well because they addressed the VC problem properly. They also tried to do more but not quite as well. Why? Primarily because VC typically deals with a single object at a time, while CM deals with an entire product or set of products. At its core, version control is about saving multiple revisions of a file so that any revision can be retrieved at a future date. The version control function includes:
- Recreating an old version of a file
- Allowing creation of multiple versions and parallel versions
- Identifying differences between different versions of a file
- Merging files versions which have diverged from each other
Files are generally bits and bytes. However, when a file is a directory, it has a more structured content, at least as far as the version control and CM functions are concerned. A directory contains a set of files and possibly other directories. In fact, it is the contents of the directory that defines it, for the most part. And just as files can change as they are edited, so too do directories change as their contents change. The change could be subtle - one of the member files was edited. Or it could be more visible - a new file was added or an existing one renamed or removed. Just as files need version control, so too do directories. So the version control function might also include:
- Defining the contents of a directory as a specific version of the directory
- Allowing parallel evolution of the directory, such as for a supported product versus the next release of the product
- Identifying differences between different versions of a directory
- Providing a means of modifying the directory contents.
The directory object may be a file system object, or a logical version control object, whose definition is stored in a file or a repository. The control portion of version control often is extended to have the meaning of change control. Change control defines:
- Who may check out a file
- Under what conditions
- When and how to branch
- When and how to merge
- How to add a comment for a new revision of a file


text: "It's not the technique one needs to win the Olympics, it's the nerves of steel" Elena Vaitsekhovskaya talks to Elena Buyanova (Vodorezova) for sport-express.ru For the well known past skater now coach the Grand Prix Final might be tense. Maxim Kovtun, who joined her group just this season won both of his events and is to participate the JGPF, while Adelina Sotnikova has a chance to earn a spot in the GPF. We met in TSKA rink right after Buyanova and Sotnikova returned to Moscow. Naturally, we started the conversation with Skate America, where Sotnikova became 3rd. EV: In the LP Adelina's jumping combination didn't count. Don't you teach your pupils to control what they do on the ice? EBV: It's funny, but in Adelina's case it didnt' even cross my mind. She've been landing all the combinations clean in the practices and we didn't anticipate an error. In a way I'm to blame for her redundant combination. Adelina's math is just fine. It's her favourite subject at school. I guess she was just lost in Kent - it was quite unexpected. Nevermind. It's an experience to have. EV: You were a great skater yourself. After you started coaching you worked with Olga Markova, Elene Gedevanishvili. Do you have a role model you are aiming for when working with your female skaters? EBV: There are no skaters I was a huge fan of. Ever. At the same time I always liked Dorothy Hamill's skating. She had some sort of harmony no other skater had. When I became a coach I wanted to create such a skater. What I loved about Makarova was her gliding. It was perfect. But she could only jump 2 jumps. We learned all 6 with her later. She later was injured and retired. But it was thanks to her I realized great gliding and jumping is possible. We were following the same route with Gedevanishvili. Guess we were just not meant to work together. And then Adelina came along. She is just 16y.o. now and it's her first season in the seniors, but I think she looks quite in place there. EV: Among her rivals this season does anyone stand aside? EBV: I follow everyone. What they do, what is the potential, what to expect. EV: Can you share: who of the now skating ladies is to become the biggest competition? EBV: Potentially Julia Lipnitskaya. I like her a lot. Of those who have been skating for a while now - Mao Asada. The Japanese skaters in general are so soft, jump so well, thye are `flying'. They amaze me. I wouldn't miscount any of them. What's the difference between us and the Japanese skaters EV: Not so long ago Nikita Katsalapov told me the whole group started training differently ever since Daisuke Takahashi joined. EBV: And what prevented them from training like that before? It's great when a skater has an example to follow and understands how to work but.... We're just a year away from the Olympics. That's the difference between our skaters and the Japanese skaters for you. Adelina and I spent 12 days in Japan in July participating the shows. I was shattered seeing how the Japanese male skaters work. Take Hanyu - he was landing quads and 3A in all the shows. With spot lights only. I don't think any of our guys could do it. When skating with the spot lights only you can't see the ice, can't feel the borders and don't really understand to which direction to skate. It's like walking in the dark. And if the light gets into your eyes - you're blinded. And they land quads and 3A in such conditions! I didn't miss a single show. Was waiting for Hanyu to make his programmes easier. No way! The practice began at 8AM and he would do all his jumps at the instance! After witnessing that I'm not surprised the Japanese skaters took the podium in the first Grand Prix event. On the other hand you can't really explain the coach's preferences. We are used to discuss the technical part: who jumped what, who progressed in what. And still in SA I came every day to watch Jeremy Abbott practicing. I was sitting and melting when he wasn't even doing the elements during the practice. His control of the ice is incredible. I like the men skating in general. It's the energy and the quads. As Mishin likes to say working with the girls is like spilling the water into sand - you never know what will happen in the end. EV: Last year Adelina went through puberty - she was growing and some elements didn't work - I was wondering about the coach's feelings in such situations. You put so much time and energy into skater, choreograph the programmes, teach the technique and take the skater to a certain level. And then something uncontrollable and unpredictable happens. EBV: Well, women are enigmas, right? You don't say that about men, do you? As far as the sports goes - I went through the same when I was skating. I was coaching a lot of girls of various ages. So I have the experience and take it quite calmly. EV: I can't recall you having weight problems as a skater. EBV: You not being aware of things doesn't mean they didn't exist. There was a time when I had to consider every 500g. I even skipped a competition because of the weight. It happened. Hence I take it as a given. On the other hand I lacked patience. Now I realize: first you must teach the kid and then demand. It's useless shouting at the skater if he can't do what you want him to. When I was younger I didn't realize it. And I used to be ... a loud coach - it's when you work on the ice and they can hear you from the 2nd floor. It's also important the skater not only gains knowledge and experience, but is able to use them later. It's less important whether the knowledge comes from good skates or failures. What shakes the coach Last season Sotnikova participated the seniors Grand Prix events, but despite everyone's expectations she didn't make it to the GPF. Was it hard on her? EBV: Sure. When the skater wins almost every junior competition and doesn't have a single miss up he sets his standards high. At some point it becomes hard to remain there. This is what I'm trying to explain to Adelina. We still talk a lot about it. EV: Do you think some of Sotnikova's programmes are a bit too much for her? EBV: It's always the same: if you skate well no one has anything to say on the programmes, but if you fail they start discussing everything else: the choreography, the costumes... Of course I try to bring my skaters to skate with no fails, to fight for gold. When you realize the athlete is ready to win but becomes only 3rd it is disappointing. Especially if it was for silly mistakes. It's not about my work, but about the chance the skater missed. I can't settle at such moments. EV: Perhaps you are not aware of the fans thinking you demand too much from Adelina. People see how you react to a bad skate when you sit in the K&C. EBV: It once happened when Olga Markova and I were at some competition where she didn't skate well. It's hard to be behind the border, see all that, especially when you lack coaching experience. The blood pressure goes up, the sigh becomes blurry, you hear the blood in the temples. I remember sitting in front of the monitor and watching the marks and I couldn't see a thing - all went blurry. Olga, who we were always in good terms with realized I'm shaking. She said quietly `turn to the table, the numbers are bigger there'. When we came back to Moscow someone asked me why do I behave the way I do during the competitions. Apparently the commentator who was commenting said something like `see those relationship, the coach is not supporting the skater and turns away from her'. So what am I supposed to explain exactly? There was a time when I was watching figure skating and was trying to figure skater-coach relationship from what I've seen in the K&C. It was funny sometimes: they seem so good towards each other on the screen, and a week after the athlete switches coaches. Fashionista EV: Speaking of switches. Kovtun, who joined your group- is he your `project' or Tarasova's? EBV: I think Tarasova has a special feeling towards those `hard' skaters. Those who it's hard to work with. After Morozov kicked Kovtun from his group for unacceptable behaviour Tarasova offered me to take him. I did - for two months try out. But it was Tarasova who is responsible for Kovtun as far as the federation is concerned. EV: It've been more then 2 months now, so reckon you are satisfied with Kovtun? EBV: First of all Maxim is the only Russian skater to win his GP events and make it to the final. Second not only he won the events, but he skated really well. HE landed a quad and two 3A in Zagreb. No other junior skater showed such a skating. So I don't know, we'll see. During the practices he works really hard and I have no complaints. Of course I want him to prove himself. EV: I know Sotnikova was training in the men group for a while. What did she learn there? EBV: When you skate with the guys the practices are different. The speed is different. It's not easy to keep up with , but Adelina is mentally very strong. We had a situation last year when Tarasova decided to make a new dress for one of the programmes and it was not ready for the competition. In the morning the tailor came to the rink and was working on Adelina - sewing, cutting, changing. It went for a quite a while - any other skater would be in a state - instead of having some time to rest she had to stand on her feet. And it was not obvious whether the dress will be ready for the competition or not. But Sotnikova just didn't mind. Someone even asked her whether it gets to her. She just waved it away as in : never mind, if I have to, oh well. It's hard to get her out of her mood during the competition - she is so focused and concentrated. EV: Does she care about her costumes? EBV: She is as much a fashionista as I am. We both love shopping so much that the team makes fun of us : the coach and the skater are equally bad. If Sotnikova dislikes the costume she will certainly tell so. When we make a dress the sketches are first shown to her, not to me. And she had the choice. It's just that I don't think for Adelina it's the most important thing. EV: Will you mind if she doesn't make it to the GPF? EBV: I guess a bit. But it's not the most important thing. We'll just have to move on. It's better to fall and raise then to be on the top and slide down. EV: Will you dare to predict the Olympic results? EBV: It's impossible. It doest' matter how they skate now. Some predictions will be possible when the Olympic programmes are made. I'm sure everyone will come to Sochi equally ready and in a great shape. It's just that you win the Olympics not with the great technique, but with the nerves of steel

In a scholastic calendar year in which the Monmouth University Athletics Department won its league-best seventh Northeast Conference Commissioner's Cup for overall athletics excellence, the student-athletes that make up the Hawks family posted equally impressive numbers outside the arena of competition.
"Heartfelt congratulations go out to our remarkable student-athletes who have performed exceptionally in the classroom," stated Vice President and Director of Athletics Dr. Marilyn McNeil.
In the classroom, 417 Monmouth student-athletes generated an overall grade-point-average of 3.19, the highest mark in program history, while the men's basketball program posted its highest GPA in team history with a 3.224 in Spring 2013 and the football squad – 90 players strong – notched a 2.993 this last term.
"Students first, our athletes garnered their highest team GPA of 3.19," added McNeil. "Outstanding success by many of our teams and individual athletes reminds us of our primary mission, to educate and to graduate. Every day, these remarkable men and women work as hard in the classroom as they do in their competitive arenas, and we are all rewarded and proud of their amazing accomplishments!"
Monmouth's successes by team are numerous, while individual student-athletes garnered recognition for their hard work in the classroom as well. Women's Basketball senior Carly Thibault, a two-time Academic All-District selection, was honored with the Alumni Association Academic Achievement Award, given to the baccalaureate degree candidate who earned the highest grade point average during a four year academic career spent exclusively at Monmouth, as Thibault registered a perfect 4.0 in psychology.
While 136 members of Monmouth's Athletics teams were named to the NEC Academic Honor Roll (3.2 GPA or higher) in the fall and winter, 35 Hawks earned NEC Commissioner's Honor Roll status over that same span with a 3.75 GPA or better. Overall, 252 Monmouth student-athletes garnered Dean's List accolades in 2012-13, 300 were in the 3.00 – 3.49 range, and only two finished this academic year below a 2.0.
"Our student-athletes work extremely hard, but credit also needs to go to our Athletics Academic Support Staff, who understand the needs of each individual and the vision of the University," noted McNeil, whose 15 of 18 athletic teams finished with at least a 3.0, while the other three claimed above a 2.9 GPA this semester.
In the fall, the Women's Soccer team, which posted the department's highest GPA on the year (3.425), earned its 15th straight National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) Team Academic Award, while the Men's Soccer side earned its fourth straight NSCAA Team Academic Award.
Not to be outdone, Field Hockey earned accolades as a National Field Hockey Coaches Association (NFHCA) Division I National Academic Team Award Winner (3.0 or better) for the fourth straight year and the fifth time in the last six seasons. Nine field hockey players earned National Academic Squad recognition (3.3), while Tara Brown and Amanda Schoenfeld were tabbed NFHCA Scholars of Distinction with a 3.9 GPA or higher.
The Monmouth Football program, which celebrated its 20th season in 2012, had three major players – Andrew Sutton, Tyler George and Eric Spillane - earn Capitol One College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) Academic All-District team accolades, while Sutton was also named to the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) Academic All-Star Team.
In addition, sophomore Benjamin Boyd won the NEC's Winter Scholar-Athlete Award for indoor track and field, the Men's and Women's Cross Country and Track and Fields earned USTFCCCA All-Academic Team citations and junior second baseman Jake Gronsky, who helped lead the Hawks to yet another NEC Baseball Championships appearance, garnered Academic All-District honors this spring.
Monmouth Athletics, which will venture into the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference for all sports but Football (Big South in 2014) and Women's Bowling (Independent) starting July 1, 2013, claimed 68 Northeast Conference Championships during its tenure with the league, and has registered a 3.0 overall GPA in each of the last nine years.

Linux Mint 10 Review
When Linux distro releases happen, it is sometimes difficult to find out which new features made it into that specific release. In some cases, there really is no other way to find out but to go through the project change log and try to decipher what has changed and how many of those changes will actually have a noticeable impact on end user experience.
Linux Mint 10 release notes are the complete opposite, and I have to say that I am very thankful for that. The Linux Mint team has released an extremely clear and easy to understand LIST OF NEW FEATURES, which I recommend reading. In any case, I will provide a summary along with my opinions below.
New Looks
Linux Mint 10 represents a noticeable change in terms of Look&Feel. When previous releases used and abused of green colors and themes, this time out things are more balanced, with some sleek grey and metallic textures here and there. My first impression is that this is a change for the better, a desktop environment that I will not grow tired of quickly, as often was the case with Mint in the past.
The default icon theme is a customization of Faenza, which is both good and bad news. On the one hand, Faenza is a great theme, a definite community favorite. Its diverse colorful nature helps evening tones out. On the other hand, it is mixed with some custom Mint icons, which do heavily rely on green tones and don't really fit that well.
Click on image to enlarge
Linux Mint is a great distro with lots of following, so just reusing someone else's icon theme doesn't sound like such a great idea. While I appreciate this is an improvement over past icon themes, I would love to see a Mint icon set as good in quality as Faenza. I believe that would be another step forward in establishing Mint as an independent distro, not so much an Ubuntu derivative that relies on community resources.
Click on image to enlarge
Controls and Window borders have also been polished and they look great. Wallpapers were created by community artists this time around, but they retain the top quality that was already there in Linux Mint 9.
Click on image to enlarge
All in all, Linux Mint 10 Look&Feel changes are mostly for the better, but there is a bit of an unfinished feel to it. It's easy to tell the departure from green tones was intentional, but at the same time, it feels somewhat incomplete. It's like there was a desire to step away from old looks, but also lack of confidence in leaving behind what has been the signature style of this distro for so long.
Welcome Screen
The welcome screen has received some nice additions and a cool face lift. As is the case with the new Mint menu (covered in detail in the next section), this new welcome screen also displays a nice brushed metallic texture.
In terms of information, there is more and it's better organised into categories. Unfortunately, this welcome screen suffers from the same problem as its predecessors: Most of the information is not stored locally, so a working Internet connection is required to get to it.
Click on image to enlarge
Considering that connecting to the Internet may not be straight forward for anybody using Linux for the first time (wireless card detection and/or configuration problems are not uncommon) and the fact that most of this information is made of html files, I think it should be part of the LiveCD, at least a reduced version covering the basics. It would be easy to throw a message so that users understand that such documentation is not actively maintained after the release date and that they should refer to the complete and up-to-date online documentation eventually.
Mint Menu
This is one of those elements that can truly make a difference from a user experience point of view. The Linux Mint menu has kept some nice momentum over the last releases, continuously developing and evolving into a very powerful and eye-catching part of the desktop. The latest features introduced for this release are nothing short of amazing.

There are some nice new features that the Mint developers have included so that the menu integration with the GNOME environment is tighter. That should allow community artists to develop themes that are menu-specific. A good example of such customization is the brushed metallic texture in the default Linux Mint 10 Mint Menu.
The menu customization options are now more flexible than ever before. For example, users can now change the size of icons in pretty much any category, which has some interesting side effects. Making the System and Places icons grow provides more room which can be used to stick more entries in the Favorites section, as shown below.

The search feature in the menu has been heavily improved, becoming a very powerful tool. For example, the menu is "aware" of the packages available for installation, so users can actually search for them straight from its search field. In the example below I searched for "chromium".

Clicking on the menu to continue the process brought the following message:

Once installed, Chromium is highlighted as a new addition to the set of installed applications... Now, how cool is that?!
Personally, I have to say that I found the highlighting of new installed applications a bit too subtle. I think it should be more extreme, more easily noticeable, perhaps even displaying a dialog next to the new entry.

This search feature is not limited to installable packages only, though. Users can search for pretty much anything, and the menu is smart enough to tell whether the search term fits a package name or not. If it does not, users may decide to search for the term on Google, Wikipedia, etc.

The Linux Mint menu is without a doubt one of the most impressive features in Mint 10. It is growing more powerful and with the new style features, it shouldn't take long before we see some creative designs by community members.
Software & Update Manager
Back when Linux Mint 9 was released, its Software Manager was an awesome feature. It was the first to enable commentaries, scoring, an improved navigation model and other interesting features. Come Linux Mint 10, developers were less ambitious and probably decided to solidify those features instead of adding new ones. As a result, the most notorious update is the addition of categories, which should make navigation easier, but doesn't make for an exciting update.
The Linux Mint 10 Update Manager has not changed much either, just got some minor cosmetic changes, such as the size of the update packages about to be installed. On top of that, it is now possible to disable updates for packages if the user so desires.
Linux Mint 10 is a good release that builds upon great features from both Ubuntu 10.10 and Linux Mint 9. The new features are not an example of aggressive development, but still provide enough enhancements to justify an upgrade/installation. In fact, I would still recommend Linux Mint 10 to those Mint users who can't be bothered to upgrade, if only to enjoy the latest Ubuntu, Kernel and GNOME updates and features.

WOW! Care to elaborate at least?ReplyDelete
Thank you again Chema for this great review.ReplyDelete
I am using now Linux Mint 10 and it is a good release.
But you do not have to forget that this release is still the Release Candidate, to not confuse the users.
Though it is very stable with some minor issues.
I can recommend it to Mint users too if they want to have the newest software and the new Look and Feel, what is an improvement for me also.
I saw you mentioned it that it is an RC, sorry, the title confused me.ReplyDelete

My Toshiba laptop has Ubuntu 10.04 installed.
Speaker/Headphone not working in that. When the headphone/speaker jack is fully inserted i hear no sound. When it is partially inserted, i hear sound from both headphone and the laptop speaker.
Checked in net and came to know that driver (ALSA) needs to be updated. I don't know how that driver can be updated. Let me know how this can be resolved.
I appreciate your Ubuntu 10.04 problem, but I am afraid this is not the best forum to bring that kind of issue to.
In any case, Google is your friend:
Good Luck
Can you mention the final release date?ReplyDelete

Having a friend who loves to try out different operating systems, be it new or old, since he thinks that each and one of them have a certain charm in it. But in my opinion, this looks like a fine OS for the newbies to this kind of desktop environment, due to its user-friendly appeal.ReplyDelete

This story is a fairy tale for teens or adults, and it is really good - holding me entranced for much of the story. Reminiscent in feel to The Princess Bride by William Goldman it features fairies and magic and mysterious witches and more. I listened to the MyMediaMall version narrated by the author, Neil Gaiman and he was wonderful! His voice has a slight British accent and each of his characters has his or her own lilt, cadence, and charm. I highly recommend that you listen to the audio book version through MyMediaMall or the book on CD even though one of the versions of the book in our library includes pictures by Charles Vess. I personally, will go look at the pictures now to finish off my experience. This was a solid 5 star book review in my opinion. I was sorry to have it end.
Neil Gaiman is a prolific author and writes books for children, teens, and adults. Check out some of his award winning titles today!

I got the majority of my gauntlet parts from RA and they are great, but I still need some other pieces. I know about the two momentary button switches, but what is the red circular thing on the back of the left gauntlet? Is this an LED? And what is that light switch looking thing on that same gauntlet?
An item name or part numbers for these would be great (including the momentary switches), if these are found parts. If not, an alternative you guys used would be great also.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|It depends on how long we are going to be gone and what we are doing. If it's just a short weekend trip where we are just having unscheduled fun, we take the dogs. If we are going for a specific reason: going to see a show/concert or for conventions, we either kennel them or a very dear friend of ours either moves into our house or he takes them to his depending on his work schedule.
|You can always look into air bnbs for vacationing with dogs. Theres usually one wherever you go if you have issues finding hotels that allow pets
|We always rent a beach house for the whole family, 4 legged included. The girls are much happier with us than they are in a kennel. I used to board when I went on vacation. But had one of my Labs come home with raw tail from fleas. This was at Vet's office. So No more, I take them with me. Here's an idea, why don't we start a thread of Dog/GSD friendly vacation accommodations? I know I've got my favorite but always looking for something new too.
This was a huge dilemma for me. We don't usually vacation where Rocco is allowed. I couldn't board him because he would be miserably in a kennel. He is very nervous and anxious. I don't have anyone that could stay with him for days, nor would I trust that set up (he would have to be walked and exercised). Luckily, after searching and visiting several places, I found a place. It's a ranch that boards dogs. He gets to run around with other dogs most of the day (which he loves). He is then boarded for night in a stall, which is much bigger and open than a kennel. The dogs are also boarded in groups so he's not alone all night. It's not perfect and I much rather have him with me but it's the best situation I have found and he loves to go there. He even knows the place by name.
Sent from Petguide.com Free App
The only time I usually went without my dogs is when visiting my brother in NE because it involves flying (although, I did take my Golden on a driving trip to NE, before my brother moved there).
I always plan trips in a way that the dog(s) can come too and have fun as well. If possible we try to rent a vacation cabin/cottage for most trips because it works out better with dogs involved but we've also done trips with a dog where we stayed in hotels the whole time.
In the summer we go to Nantucket for two weeks and the dogs come with us. We rent a cottage (same one every year) and go for long walks and they have a good time.
In the winter we go skiing and rent a cottage with our friends and, again, bring the dogs. Last year we went to Lake Placid and this year we went to the Poconos. Because of the unusually high amount of crusted ice and snow accumulation this winter, we didn't get to do a lot of hiking, but I think the mutt monsters had a good time anyway since our cottage was on 7 acres and they had room to run.
Last year I was on a crazy book deadline so I just bailed from work for a week and we rented a cottage (seeing a common theme here yet? ) for a week in the fall with the dogs. I'd write all day until I couldn't take it anymore and then we'd all go on a long walk and admire the autumn foliage and look for wild grapes.
At some point I'd really like to go to Glen Highland Farm. I might try to coordinate that trip with some of my dog sport friends in a year or two.
In short, yep, I totally pick vacations based on where I think the dogs will have a good time. Seeing them happy is what's most fun and relaxing for me, so that's what we do.
Originally Posted by Airman1stclass View Post

In April we're going to Florida and my sister is staying at my house with 2 dogs while my 2 GSDs will be boarded at my friend's farm. I usually leave my GSDs with her for one week each year. I think it's important for them to have the experience being boarded and away from me for an extended period, and they end up loving her farm (lots of space to run, weird animals to bark at, stuffed Kongs every day).
|I have a friend with a small private kennel at her home- she and her husband are around all the time and Stosh loves it there. If she's not available, I take him to Circle Star Pet Resort in Murchison TX. They do agility, obedience training, let the dogs play with others, take them on golf cart rides around the lake or for a hike. It's doggie paradise! See if you can find a place like that.
|Oops meant to post this. LURE RESORT - A FISHERMAN'S PARADISE.wmv - YouTube
Because we like camping, we can take the dogs on our vacations at least half the time. Arizona, Colorado , Utah and Northern Ca are pretty dog friendly. When using our timeshare which doesn't allow dogs, we usually find a place close by to leave them, so we can pick them up during the day for outings. Sometimes if travel is by plane or a very long drive, we leave them behind. My old shih tzu always stays behind with a relative in my home.
For example: the lure resort in Northern Ca allows dogs. its one of our favorite spots but we only get to go once every other year. Dex hasn't gone yet, we will probably go this year.

Fidget - Truck Stop
This mini fiddle toy has many different coordinating ribbons in varying lengths, widths, materials, and textures forming a great sensory experience for your little love. Each ribbon is straight cut and sealed (without chemicals) to avoid fraying and has been triple stitched for extra security. The ribbons are made of satin, grosgrain, rikrak, and other trims – creating a unique textural adventure. Your little explorer will love feeling the different surfaces.
In between the two coordinating cotton fabrics is crinkle paper that creates a fun crunching sound when squeezed, twisted, squished, or patted. This little fiddle toy will inspire your little musician to explore movement and music through cause and effect.
This little Fidget is a great distraction and play toy for your little one. They are very portable – fit easily in a diaper bag, stroller, car seat, crib, purse, or pocket! This lovey measures approximately 5" x 5", not including ribbons, and is the perfect size for little hands to manipulate, crinkle, crunch, and hold.
Because they are handmade, the ribbons may vary.
Surface wash and hang to dry
Thoughtfully Designed
All of my creations were made with your little one in mind. Each piece was designed to nurture child development through open-ended play. These pieces can be used to broaden your little one's understanding and knowledge of our world and were created as early educational toys. I am inspired by the teachings of Montessori; the natural beauty of Waldorf; and incorporate a myriad of other learning-through-play philosophies when I design. It makes me smile to see my made-with-love pieces being toted for use as preschool toys and in natural play settings. Thank you for helping me support little minds, bodies, and imaginations through engaging, hands-on play and discovery.
Sensory Based Learning
Mama May i believes little ones make sense of their world through sensing our world. That's why you will find all of our designs offer a variety of tactile learning-through-play opportunities. We use a myriad of different textures and surfaces intertwined to make the most of every little play-and-learn time you share.
Kid Tested, Mama Approved
My own little ones have the wonderfully engaging job of "product testers". They are my inspiration for new products as well as my initial testing market. I don't add things to the product line that aren't played with and loved first at home.
Mama May i strives to reduce the impact of our products on the environment and your little one. We avoid the use of harsh chemicals and varnishes and instead, use plant based pigments, and organic beeswax to finish our wooden playthings. We use mostly untreated Poplar, Maple, and Oak that is locally sourced. We know how important your little one's safety is and we won't sell anything we wouldn't let our own little ones enjoy.

I have been working on this little script for a while and testing it on a couple of my addons.
It has helped me a lot with spotting those hard to reproduce or temporary errors. Spiff suggested I made it into a module so here it is
This module is still in the testing phase though, but input and comments are welcome!
The readme has a description of what it is and how it works, so no reason to repeat myself here..
The code is at github for now, but I will submit script.module.buggalo to the official xbmc repo once I'm done testing it.
The collected data is submitted to a URL, which is part of buggalo-web which is also on github: https://github.com/twinther/buggalo-web
This code is pretty rough, but I'm using it and working on it from time to time.
The idea is that each addon author has their own buggalo-web somewhere, but I may be able to make a central site if people are interested?
The README.txt:
The buggalo script can collect various information about an
exception in a Python script as well as information about the
users system, such as XBMC and Python versions.
The collected information is then posted to the internet at a
predefined URL where the addon author can investigate the exception.
The script is somewhat similar to posting the xbmc.log to pastebin,
but is more specialised and doesn't contain superfluous information.
It is also better integrated into the user experience, the user only
has to decide if they want to submit the bug report or not.
To use this script you must do two things besides importing it.
1. Set buggalo.SUBMIT_URL to a full URL where the collected data
is submitted.
2. Surround the code you want to be covered by this script in a
try..except block, such as:
# addon logic
except Exception:
For plugin type addons, it is a good idea to include pretty much
everything inside the try..except block.
See this link for an example:
* https://github.com/xbmc-danish-addons/plugin.video.news.tv2.dk/blob/master/addon.py#L124
For script type addons, besides the rule above, each event in
your UI should include the try..except block as well.
See this link for an example:
* https://github.com/twinther/script.tvguide/blob/master/gui.py#L140
Five groups of information is collected beyond basic information
such as date and time.
* System information
OS name and version, kernel version, etc.
* Addon information
Addon id, name, version, path, etc.
* XBMC Information
Build version and date, the current skin and language
* Execution information
Python version and sys.argv
* Exception information
Type of exception, message and full stack trace
For further details take a look at the code in buggalo.py
The latest code is always available at github:
* https://github.com/twinther/script.module.buggalo
The module is named after a creature in my favorite animated show:

Are words just not powerful enough to express how you feel? – You need RageBoard.
RageBoard is a new jailbreak tweak by iOS development team Cocoanuts that adds an alternate keyboard to your International Keyboard button dedicated solely to Rage Faces. Tapping and holding on the International Keyboard button will let you choose between all of your International Keyboards, such as English US, Emoji, RageBoard, and even Grafiti if you have that tweak installed.
Once you open RageBoard, you'll see an interface that looks similar to the Grafiti interface. There will be an International Keyboard button in the bottom left that lets you switch between your keyboards, a backspace button that lets you delete anything that you write, and in the middle will be all of your Rage Faces that you can pick from. At the bottom center, there is a scrollable label that you can use to select different Rage Face categories.
There are many different Rage Face categories, including:
- 2 panel
- angry
- annoyed
- cereal guy
- determined
- disgusted
- happy
- laughing
- me gusta
- miscellaneous
- neutral
- okay
- rage
- sad
- surprised
- trees
- troll
- worried
- and many more
As you scroll through your Rage Face options, you can simply tap on one that you like to place it into the chat field. You can choose more than one, or just one – it really doesn't matter. You can also type a text message to send with it:
If you can't see the small thumbnails very well, you can tap and hold on one of them to zoom in:
The Rage Faces will be sent as image files to the recipient, so the recipient doesn't need to be on a jailbroken iPhone with RageBoard installed to receive your Rage Faces. The recipient can view your Rage Faces that you send to them across multiple platforms.

Wayne Law Alumna Highlighted on Oprah Winfrey Show, Chosen to be Assistant to Sean "Diddy" Combs
DETROIT (Nov. 14, 2007) – Heather Joy Thompson, a 2005 alumna of Wayne State University Law School, was recently selected as hip-hop mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs' personal assistant after winning Combs' YouTube contest. She was featured as the winner on the Nov. 6, 2007, episode of the Oprah Winfrey Show.
"On behalf of Wayne State University Law School, I would like to congratulate Ms. Thompson on her new role," said Wayne Law Dean Frank H. Wu. "Ms. Thompson was an outstanding and highly involved student while enrolled at Wayne Law. Her skills, experience and knowledge will continue to bode well for her in her professional career."
According to Combs, "It was just her passion, it was the way she articulated herself. I think she really understood what the job entailed. She had a background that was stellar, being a lawyer and her work in the Peace Corps. And just the way she came across, you know."
Thompson, the youngest of three children, was born in Detroit and raised in Southfield. She attended The Roeper School in Bloomfield Hills, earning her diploma in 1995. Upon graduation, she enrolled at Spelman College in Atlanta, Ga., and earned a Bachelor of Arts in studio art in 1999.
After Spelman, Thompson enrolled at Wayne Law, where she was the recipient of the Kenneth V. Cockrel Scholarship and a member of the Jessup International Moot Court Team, The Black Law Students Association (BLSA), Executive Board, and a student attorney at Wayne State's Free Legal Aid Clinic (FLAC). She earned a Juris Doctor in 2005 and has been a member of the State Bar of Michigan ever since.
In addition to her scholastic achievements, Thompson served in the Peace Corps in Burkina Faso, West Africa, from May 1999 to October 2000 where she worked at a local health clinic and initiated several high-profile programs to combat HIV/AIDS and other communicable diseases. She has also served as a policy analyst for Detroit City Councilwoman Sheila M. Cockrel and as a press secretary for the Greg Hecht for Lt. Governor of Georgia campaign. She competed and won the reality television competition, "The Intern," and, in 2006, she passed the Foreign Service Written Exam and Oral Assessment.
Wayne State University Law School has served Michigan and beyond since its inception as Detroit City Law School in 1927. Located in Detroit's re-energized historic cultural center, the Law School remains committed to student success and features modern lecture and court facilities, multi-media classrooms, a 250-seat auditorium, and the Arthur Neef Law Library, which houses one of the nation's 30 largest legal collections. Taught by an internationally recognized faculty, Wayne State Law School students experience a high-quality legal education via a growing array of hands-on curricular offerings, five live-client clinics, and access to well over 100 internships with local and non-profit entities each year. Its 11,000 living alumni, who work in every state of the nation and more than a dozen foreign countries, include leading members of the local, national and international legal communities.

Hello all, been thinking about doing a full set of boba armor for quite a while now and i have been doing a bit of research and im off to a start. but being a newbie i have already hit a snag..... trying to assemble the cheeks i taped them together for fit and the flat rounded part of the cheeks seemed too small for the top section... so i tried taping in the backbone and it was too big... im using the WOF templates. i tried prefolding the cheekbone and im not even sure where to fold it... other than that everything else is working great. i bought foamboard to make a skeleton for the bucket and posterboard for the outside. i was then going to fiberglass the outside? ive heard its ok to do inside or outside i just figured it might be easier to make a thin layer of fiberglass on the outside and work in if needed
anyhow im going to reprint my templates and work on making a posterboard version. ill leave the cheekbones out till i figure it out
lastly i need a namechange, SOMEHOW my ****** computer managed to ommit the t in pilot when i made my profile and now im stuck with pilo294... any chance i can get an admin or a mod to make the name Pilot294? or will i need to make a new profile?
Thanks all, any help will be greatly apreciated

Having just been saved from administration by way of a strategic alliance with Apparel Group, it's time for Bettina Liano to work at regaining confidence and keeping her place cemented in Australian fashion. Liano's autumn / winter 2012 collection doesn't take any gambles: if the brand is known for two things it's sexy cuts and denim, and autumn's look book plays to both.
The simple stand out here is a denim button-up skirt. 2012 loves all things in which sensuality levels can be adjusted at will, which is why pieces like this can take you from layering in spring in layering in autumn without skipping a beat.
Financial woes side-stepped for now, it'll be interesting to see where Bettina Liano – who still maintains the role of Creative Director for her brand – will take things next. Playing it too safe might prove counter-productive.

You Are What You Eat: Why Meat Quality Matters
Today I'd like to focus on something that is incredibly close to my heart: the importance of the source of your meats. I was a vegetarian for about 10 years, and my reason for not eating meat was my bleeding heart for animals' welfare. I'm about to go PETA on you for a minute, so beware. When I decided not to eat meat, it was because I didn't want to have anything to do with a cut of steak that … Continue reading

Don't let the fox guard the hen house.
And that's exactly what can happen when you have a "benchmark" that is not audited.
Oracle's newest press release claims a "benchmark" for the Exadata V2 system. Yes, we've all been waiting for just this day. But look closely around those eggs.
There are no audited results, no website where results are published. Note that Oracle is very vague when they make comparison statements - they say it's "outstanding," but who can tell. They compare to previous benchmarks, but who can tell. There are no footnotes. They are running their own application on their own hardware and then telling us how they did.
We are still waiting for a real benchmark.

text: Hello, I've just recently joined The Dented Helmet, and I suppose I'm looking for some advice on a good starting place for acquiring/crafting a ROTJ Boba Fett costume. A year or two ago I built an FX stormtrooper kit, though in my ignorance it was a long and painful process, and not all turned out exactly as I had hoped for one reason or another. I've decided it's long past time for me to realise my dream of a Boba Fett costume, and I'm hoping with a resource like The Dented Helmet and the users here in my arsenal that things will go a bit smoother this time and that I'll have better access to parts and tutorials. Any constructive feedback would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

I'm looking for a place in London to do the part time Celta and wondered if anyone here can recommend the above two? I'm assuming they're good, seeing as they're both listed on the Cambridge website but does anyone know otherwise?
I'm also considering International House, St Giles International, Language Link or Tefl Lab 'though not all of them provide the part time Celta. Frankly I'm still debating between the Trinity and Celta. My goal is to teach for a year or so in Europe and see how I get on. From my research, both courses appear to be highly regarded with Celta perhaps having a slight edge.
I'd love to read about your experiences with any of the above places, especially Oxford House College and UCL.
Finally, I'm wondering whether the changes to qualifications from November this year (see the Cambridge website) is anything to worry about?

Hey guys I am looking for a few things for my newly acquired WASR-10 AK. I have put on a ATI Strikeforce Scorpion stock set, now I am looking for some destroyer grey magazines, scope mount (co-witness is a +), scope, a decent laser, decent flashlight, and a destroyer grey vertical grip with bi-pod. Anyone know where I might be able to find these things? I haven't been able to find the grey stuff. I really like the contrast of the black and grey and would like to continue that out with my accessories. Brownells doesnt have anything with grey that I looking for.
I have been looking at a POSP scope w/mount for my AK as I do wish to use it to shoot deer if needed come deer season. What are you guys using for a scope/mounts and what are your groups that I could expect? What are you guys liking for hunting rounds and plinking rounds?
If you want shoot me a PM as this isnt the busiest forum on here but others may have the same questions as me.

Wayne Law Professors Play Active Role in Area Legal Issues
DETROIT (Sept. 10, 2008) – As the dust begins to settle on the city of Detroit after Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick's resignation, word of the professionalism, expertise and civic-mindedness of Wayne State University Law School professors called upon in the matter continues to spread.
Professors Peter Hammer, Peter Henning and Robert Sedler – experts in contract law, criminal law and constitutional law, respectively – have played significant roles in the high profile case, demonstrating to students, peers and the public their dedication to public service and the manner in which different areas of legal expertise can come into play in a public controversy.
"Professors Hammer, Henning and Sedler are nationally recognized and highly respected in the legal community and beyond for their commitment to public service and vast knowledge of the law," said Wayne Law Dean and Professor of Law Robert M. Ackerman. "It is due to this kind of engagement by our diverse faculty in the legal community – and the scholarly expertise behind it – that Wayne Law students are able to study in a wide variety of program areas, develop critical thinking skills and thrive upon graduation."
All three faculty members have been quoted extensively by local, national and international media outlets regarding this matter. In addition, Professor Sedler served as an attorney in the forfeiture hearings, which resulted in a ruling that the City Council lacked the power to removed Kilpatrick. And, Professor Hammer testified about the "legal effect" of the settlement agreements related to the whistle-blower lawsuits.
Dean Ackerman added, "Our professors' involvement on this and other important community issues is just another shining example of why Wayne Law's faculty truly is top notch."
Those interested in perusing articles featuring Professors Hammer, Henning and Sedler – as well as other Wayne Law faculty experts – can visit Wayne Law's Professors in the News page online at http://www.law.wayne.edu/Professors_in_news.html.
A Wayne Law professor since 2003, Professor Hammer specializes in Health Law & Policy, examining the industry from an institutional economic perspective. Professor Hammer received a J.D. from the University of Michigan Law School and a Ph.D. (economics) from the University of
Michigan. In addition to contracts in the first year curriculum, he teaches Health Care Quality, Licensing & Liability; Health Care Organization & Finance; International Organizations & Public Health, and Health Policy: The Firm, The Market & The Law. For more information on Professor Hammer, please visit http://www.law.wayne.edu/faculty/profiles/hammer_peter.html.
Professor Henning joined the Wayne Law faculty in 1994 as an associate professor, and was promoted to professor of law in 2002. He graduated magna cum laude from Georgetown University Law Center in 1985 and teaches Corporations, White Collar Crime, Professional Responsibility & the Legal Profession, Criminal Law, Criminal Procedure, and Securities Litigation. For more information on Professor Henning, please visit http://www.law.wayne.edu/faculty/profiles/henning_peter.html.
Professor Sedler, Distinguished Professor of Law, has been at Wayne Law since 1977. He earned a J.D. from the University of Pittsburgh School of Law and teaches Constitutional Law and Conflict of Laws at Wayne Law. Professor Sedler has litigated a large number of important civil rights and civil liberties cases in Michigan. For more information on Professor Sedler, please visit http://www.law.wayne.edu/faculty/profiles/sedler_robert.html.

Glad you like it. I am very fond of it myself, and of course it is after the great Ray. You know, I might like to re-read some of his works to scan for names. All those mid-century spacemen, yay! The only ding against Bradbury is the nn Brad. I would try to cultivate Rad as a nickname, or Bear, or Burr, or Bury. Even Burl? With me it would be Bradbury Dale or Bradbury Woodford.Married since June 2007, expecting our first child on Christmas Day, 2013

Brittany McMillan's Top 10 Amazing Life Moments!
"I've been home-schooled since seventh grade, which has allowed me to bond with my family in a whole new way. I was also able to have enough free time to start my organization, Taylor's Closet."
"At 14, I had an idea to give away clothes to girls who loved shopping but couldn't afford it. Two years later, I opened my own boutique exclusively to girls in foster care. Every day, I got to see my small idea change the hearts of girls who needed hope. Taylor's Closet is so engrained into who I am that sometimes it is hard to articulate it, but starting it has changed my life."

Winterpark back/side country suggestions
so i'm heading out to denver sia show tomorrow for three days and then spending the next eight at winterpark. after the demo days i'll definitely be looking for some out of bound hikes and side country terrain. has anyone been there and/or know of any b/c areas around the mt or nearby mts that have relatively good access. i'll have my avy gear of course. i'm contemplating spending the extra money to bring my splitboard along too if it's worth it.
1 Attachment(s)
I don't think any of the sidecountry runs at Winterpark are going to be worth doing. They just go too low down the mountain and with the super faceted sugar snow we have, they are not going to be any fun anyway.
Second thing is that the snow pack sucks so bad, everything is hair trigger. A skier was just killed at Winterpark park in Topher's trees. Yep, in the trees, in an area that I normally would not equate with avalanche danger.
You do drive over Berthoud Pass on the way to Winterpark. In fact you can see the Panaromic lift at Winterpark from various spots on the pass. So it's close by to Winterpark. It is also a world class backcountry riding area. Normally lots to do there at this time of year, but again, we are having a very dangerous year with a thin snow pack. I managed to get buried to my knees in a spot that in most seasons is not even a worry. So yeah it's tricky.
All that said, I'll probably be splitboarding on the pass this Saturday or Sunday. I will be at SIA on Friday and either Saturday or Sunday. I also may take Monday off to go ride the pass. After that, the next time would be the following weekend at the end of your trip.
Kill - whats the deal with SIA?
Worth going to?
thanks for the info on that K. are all the single tracks back on to wp really flat? easy to get stuck?
and thanks for the info on topher's. slides in the trees are not ok. makes me think of the beating joe pesci and his brother took in "casino".
i checked the caic and it looks like a whole lot of considerable ratings as you were saying- i'm not extreme enough for that. but the weather forecast looks pretty stable with the exception of maybe friday. i really want to go but is it worth it to drag the extra board, binders, skins and poles for one day that may be a bust anyway? not sure.
1 Attachment(s)
It's hard to say. The choice day for riding is looking to be Saturday if the snow comes in like some of the forecasts are saying. Of course the avy danger is going to spike *sigh* yet again because of it. Still there are zones that are reasonably safe to travel and ride in. A lot of them just off of the pass, so quick easy laps. Ride down to the road, hitch to the top, skin up, and repeat.
I'd be happy to show you around if schedules can work out for that.
As far as Winterpark goes, it has a few longish flat trails. Corona Way is the worst, but it's the way out from some excellent runs. It's one of those that if your board is waxed and you point it, you generally make it to the Challenger lift.
Turbospartan, unless you are in the industry or media in some way, SIA is a closed event. It's where manufacturers generate a good portion of their sales from retailers for the next year.
cool. pm me your cell. i'll give you mine. i'll text you on friday at the show if that's when you'll be there.
