text: By 1215, thanks to years of unsuccessful foreign policies and heavy taxation demands, England's King John was facing down a possible rebellion by the country's powerful barons. Under duress, he agreed to a charter of liberties known as the Magna Carta (or Great Charter) that would place him and all of England's future sovereigns within a rule of law. Though it was not initially successful, the document was reissued (with alterations) in 1216, 1217 and 1225, and eventually served as the foundation for the English system of common law. Later generations of Englishmen would celebrate the Magna Carta as a symbol of freedom from oppression, as would the Founding Fathers of the United States of America, who in 1776 looked to the charter as a historical precedent for asserting their liberty from the English crown.

Art exhibit features creative works made of paper
PLAINVIEW – Paper is not a medium many think of in traditional art shows, but in the latest exhibit to visit Wayland Baptist University's Abraham Art Gallery, paper is the focal point.
Titled "Paper Cuts: The Art of Contemporary Paper," the new exhibit runs Oct. 28 through Nov. 30 in the gallery and features a diverse group of art pieces surveying the wide variety of paper arts and crafts. Organized by Media Gallery of Garnett, Kan., the show celebrates the ancient art of papermaking that dates back to 200 BC in China. As papermaking evolved into an easier process, paper arts emerged as another option for artists.
"Contemporary paper arts reflect traditional uses, such as paper folding and book construction, as well as more sculptural approaches to paper," said Cindy Bowden, director of the Williams American Museum of Papermaking in the exhibit's promotional brochure. "The works in Paper Cuts reflect the breadth of this versatile medium."
Dr. Candace Keller, professor of art at Wayland and curator of the gallery, said the work is fascinating for many who don't expect to see such level of intricacy.
"When people think of paper, they usually visualize flat sheets of it, and even in the context of artwork it is most often presented as a surface upon which to work. The Paper Cuts exhibit showcases the incredible versatility of this available substance as a fine arts media," she said. "For centuries, the production of paper was time-consuming and limited, each sheet requiring mould-made handcraftsmanship. Handmade and pulped papers can reveal an infinity of textural and sculptural qualities, and the artists have used both the handmade and modern process papers in their unique and original creations."
Works pay tribute to the history of papermaking and the role of books as communication tools and art pieces themselves, celebrating the medium's ability to share messages through art. Modern origami artists spotlight the oriental folding art form, while other artists display the art of paper quilling, a craft practiced in the nunneries in the 1500s and brought to the United States by early settlers. Still other pieces showcase paper sculpture in a variety of formats and interpretations.
The exhibit includes an area for more learning about paper arts.
"Because of the fragile nature of the paper artworks, touching is not recommended," Keller noted. "To alleviate the temptation, we are reserving an area in the gallery where patrons will be able to view paper-art process videos and literature, as well as a workspace with quilling materials for those who wish to try their hand at the art."
The Paper Cuts exhibit is made supported in part by the Mid-America Arts Alliance and ExhibitsUSA. It is open to the public during regular gallery hours: Monday through Thursday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Friday 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Saturday 2-5 p.m. For more information or group tours, call the gallery at 291-3710.

First get Linux/MIPS kernel sources, for example from CVS. In the next step we need to configure the kernel sources by running make config, make menuconfig, make xconfig
Common problems
Problems caused by non-Linux/MIPS toolchain

_MIPS_SZLONG etc. are normally defined by the gcc compiler driver. That is they should never be defined by the application itself. The precense of such kludgery usually indicates the use of a toolchain that wasn't configured for a Linux/MIPS target.

This is a known bug in some very old binutils versions. You will have to upgrade to at least binutils 2.8.1 plus very current patches. With Linux 2.4 or newer binutils 220.127.116.11 or newer is probably recommended.
Linux 2.6 build fails early
$ make

HOSTCC scripts/basic/fixdep
HOSTCC scripts/basic/split-include
HOSTCC scripts/basic/docproc

gcc: cannot specify -o with -c or -S and multiple compilations
make[2]: *** [scripts/mod/empty.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [scripts/mod] Error 2
make: *** [scripts] Error 2
There are two possible causes for this failure known:
- Make sure you have set CONFIG_CROSSCOMPILE or add
CROSS_COMPILE=<target>to the make invocation.
- A few early Linux 2.6 kernels had a bug which would always result in this error message. In this case you really should upgrade.

Los Angeles, more than most cities, has defined itself by continual bursts of expansion and an unflagging optimism about its place in the world.
But as the city has grown to a population nearing 4 million, we've neglected some major holes in the civic fabric. Los Angeles has become as well known for its high-profile architectural and urban-planning failures — for the buildings, institutions and public spaces we can't seem to get right — as for its innovations or breakthroughs.
This is particularly true for our civic architecture, which has never matched the ambition and allure of the region's private houses and high-end commercial enclaves.

Friday 16 AUGUST 9:20 pm - Götaplatsen, Göteborg - Free admission!
Dance. During Gothenburg's Culture Festival 2013, Götaplatsen will be occupied by GöteborgsOperans Danskompani, Scandinavia's largest dance company and one of Europe's foremost modern companies.
Last spring, critics and audiences alike were jubilant over their performance of Marie Chouinard's The Rite of Spring, with choreography as revolutionary as Stravinsky's music was. Now they'll perform the piece once again - this time under the open sky.
Watch a film clip from The Rite of Spring
from the 2012/2013 season
Rebel Marie Chouinard is an icon within modern choreography. An astounding multi-faceted artist who is fascinated by the poetics of the body. As a choreographer she has won numerous awards and is in demand internationally. The Rite of Spring is one of her best known works.
This spring 2013 it was 100 years since Igor Stravinsky's Rite of Spring had its world premiere in Paris and created a scandal. Chouinard's avant-garde choreography for this ground-breaking music is regarded as being her masterpiece. In her hymn to life, the dancers are transformed into animals in a symbiotic relationship with Stravinsky's music.
To Marie Chouinard the dancer's body is just as much a part of the movement as the movement itself; the skin, the spine, the sweat – everything is part of the artwork. "Covering the body is like putting a curtain in front of a painting", she says.

I have a soft spot for civil-war era fashions, so when I saw this carte de visite photograph, dated 1862 on an online auction, I had to purchase it. The fact that the woman in the photograph was identified with both her married and maiden name made the item all the more irresistible.
I set out to learn more about "Grandma Schlens," formerly known as "Clementina Spilker." Unfortunately, the photo lacked a photographer's imprint that might point me in the right geographic direction.
Nevertheless, I began with search of the 1850 US Federal Census for "Clementina Spilker" and limited that search to a female born between the years 1832 to 1850. I chose this range because I knew the photograph was taken in 1862 and the woman appeared to be in her late teens or early 20's. There was only one hit: three-year-old Clementine Spilker, born about 1847, living in Baltimore, Maryland with her parents Charles and Veronica Spilker and 2 siblings, Charles, 8 and Mary, 6. Also part of the family was Mary Enck, aged 761. Charles and Veronica Spilker had been married for 14 years2.
Clementina was still part of the Charles Spilker family in 1860. Her brother, William H., born about 1852, makes his first appearance in the census records that year. Additionally, Charles' wife is now listed with the given named "Jane."3 By 1870, Clementina Spilker is no longer living in the Charles Spilker household4.
In 1834, at age 24, Clementina's father, Charles Spilker, came to Baltimore from Bremen, Germany. He accompanied his future wife, Veronica Enck, age 24, and Veronica's mother, Anna Maria Enck, 54, as well as the family of Drin.[?] Schultze5. Charles formed Charles Spilker & Co: Importers of French & English Fancy Goods which operated at 10 Hanover Street until his death in 18686. Clementina and her family likely enjoyed a comfortable life. Charles employed two or three household servants during the years he raised a family and made trips back to Germany7. In 1866, Charles' income was listed as $11,223. He also owned a pianoforte, gold watch, a carriage and plate of silver, all subject to tax8.
But was this child of Charles Spilker named Clementina, the woman of my photograph? I have not found a marriage record for Clementina and someone with the surname Schlens, but I did find a 25-year-old Clementina Schlens in the 1870 US Census in Baltimore. Her husband is Frederick Schlens, age 29, born in Prussia. At this point, they have one child, Caroline Schlens, five months old9.
In the 1880 Census, Fred and Clementina have added two more children to their family: Fred, age 7, and Ella, 10 months10. In 1910, Clementina is widowed and living with her daughter Carrie and husband, Charles Buick's family in Baltimore11.
I haven't been able to find out when Clementina's husband died, or locate an obituary for him. Nor have I found any record of Clementina's death. If you can provide additional information about Clementina Spilker Schlens, I would love to hear from you. Clementina's family, and that of her husband seem to have been quite prominent ones in Baltimore and I expect there is quite a lot of local information out there about them.

Farmers planning a large soybean acreage increase can rest easy: funding for this year's Asian soybean rust alert system is set. However, funding for 2009 and beyond is less certain.
"I can tell you plant pathologists — folks who understand what this rust can do to our crops in short order — are very worried about this," says Clayton Hollier, LSU AgCenter plant pathologist. "We have a well-functioning program and excellent people in place. We need to maintain it. The program is doing exactly what it's supposed to. How often can you say that?"
In February, a few plant pathologists — including a contingent from the Mid-South — gathered in St. Louis to discuss the funding situation.
"We batted around the what-ifs," says Hollier. "If funding drops to (X or Y) levels, what can be done? If government funding dries up completely, where can we go to get funding?"
The resulting answers and scenarios "weren't pretty."
Since soybean rust was first discovered in Louisiana in 2004, a "rust pipeline" has been developed through the cooperation of federal agencies, producers and state and university researchers. Aimed at providing producers an early alert for rust movement — a key in treating soybeans with fungicides in a timely manner — the system has evolved to include, among other things, soybean sentinel plots, spore traps, disease prediction models, and a Web site (http://www.sbrusa.net/).
For the last two years, the rust pipeline — which costs taxpayers some $1.7 million annually — has been funded largely by USDA's Risk Management Agency.
"The problem comes in with funding appropriations," says Heyward Baker, RMA director. "The specific pot of funding (used for the rust program) is tied to an allowance used … for development of research tools. The unknown is what will happen with the new farm bill. There's been some concern that some of the funding could be cut, but that's not a sure thing."
"By statute, RMA can't fund things like this forever," explains Don Hershman, University of Kentucky Extension plant pathologist. "It's not their fault. The agency may want to help, but there's a legal restriction about maintaining such programs once they're fully established. It's hard to argue the rust pipeline isn't mature. So we've got to find funding elsewhere."
Another option for funding is in President Bush's budget proposal for 2009. A line in the budget would support ipmPIPE (the parent organization for the soybean rust program) core functions.
"If the president's budget line — $2.277 million — is funded, it would go a long ways toward having this ipmPIPE develop into a tool available as serious issues like (soybean rust) come along," says Marty Draper, national program leader for plant pathology with the Cooperative States Research Education and Extension Service. "We don't want a situation where the next crisis in American agriculture causes us to have to recreate a tool" like the one already in place for soybean rust.
The rust alert system, says Draper, "is a sparkling example of what we can accomplish when working together …. I think everyone is in agreement that the program is important, is useful and has done a lot of good. It's allowed producers (an avenue) for solid information."
It's worked so well, in fact, that legume issues other than rust — like soybean aphid — are now being tracked. "Since we were in soybean fields already, (the aphids) were a logical addition," says Draper. Two new crops, pecans and pickling cucumbers, are also being added to the ipmPIPE this year. Other crops can easily be added in the future.
South is key
Unlike some other diseases, once discovered, soybean rust must not be allowed a grace period. That's why scouting and sentinel plots are so important.
"A lot of diseases we encounter can be taken care of just through regular scouting activities — you just keep an eye out for it, says Hershman. "But that isn't an option for soybean rust which has such devastating potential. We need people out there searching for rust alone."
John Rupe, plant pathologist with the University of Arkansas, agrees. "Leaving soybean rust to be found through a farmer's own scouting won't be adequate. By the time it's found, the disease is almost always well ahead of the point when it needed a fungicide. Farmers need that early warning."
Hollier is emphatic that even if funding for the alert system dries up, the need for scouting along the Gulf Coast is paramount. "States on the (Gulf of Mexico) are the ones where rust will overwinter or show up first. Some people say, 'Well, rust hasn't hurt us. It isn't that big of a threat.' That is the perfect definition of false security.
"Some day soon, when a storm moves through, dumping rain and breaking droughts, soybean rust will explode. I'm absolutely convinced of it."
One only needs to look at Louisiana's history with the fungal disease to get Hollier's point. Soybean rust was first discovered outside Baton Rouge in November 2004. It was found in October 2005, in June 2006 and in early May 2007.
"This disease is overwintering in the South and showing up earlier and earlier in the season. That should make everyone nervous."
Billy Moore says the most important sentinel plots in the country are those in the Southern coastal areas. "For the sake of our Southern farmers, it is incredibly important those sentinel plots be maintained," says the Mississippi Extension plant pathologist emeritus. "And it isn't just for them. The most important alert for Northern farmers is what is happening to fields in the South.
"Rust hasn't hit us hard yet. Initially, there was talk about a 40 percent loss of soybeans in the South. That hasn't happened yet, thank God. But that isn't because it can't happen, or won't happen."
Filtering out
Word on the rust program's shaky funding is slowly reaching farmers and their advocates.
"We suspect that the state soybean groups know little about this," says Hershman. "That's one thing we'll remedy over the next few weeks. Something that complicates this is certain groups are allowed to lobby and others can't. For instance, the United Soybeans Board can't lobby. On the other hand, if the American Soybean Association wants to get involved, it can."
Allen Wrather, Missouri Extension plant pathologist, says the rust PIPE currently needs "a champion, someone to pick this up and not let go until it's fixed and we have funding. This is not just an issue for the South. I know growers in the Bootheel certainly want to know when rust is headed their way."
The same is true even further north. "For Northern states, the rust (alert system) is a very important component for how we make recommendations and what needs to be managed," says Loren Giesler, Extension plant pathologist at the University of Nebraska. "All of us in the North are uneasy about a sentinel system not existing in the future."
Giesler says one positive, sometimes overlooked aspect of the rust program is its ability to kick rumors aside. "Imagine the rumors that would run rampant without the program. With it, those concerns are eliminated — and that's one of the things I like best about it. Producers know there is a network looking for soybean rust. That gives them confidence" and lessens the chance they'll make costly and unwise spraying decisions.
Meanwhile, the champion Wrather calls for — whether single or a collective — may show up at the USDA ipmPIPE Summit beginning April 17 in Washington, D.C. The point of the summit "is to bring all the policymakers, the agriculture organizations — anyone with a dog in the hunt — together," says Hershman. "We'll be looking for solutions and I have high hopes."
Moore has no doubt that "Southern promotion boards will want to continue this effort. They know it's crucial — especially if those latest overwintering predictions hold up.
"Think about this: there is a lot more wheat in the South than we've had in a long time. If soybean seed can be located, that means there will be a lot of wheat-beans."
By necessity, those wheat-beans will be planted and harvested late. "And when has rust shown up the last couple of years? Late! That concerns me very much."

Ruth Rendell Mysteries Classic TV Show
Gripping thrillers of intrigue and suspense from international best-sellig author, Ruth Rendell, featuring a myriad of guest stars and more twists than a Russian gymnast.
Ruth Rendell Mysteries Fan Tributes11 Audrey Jefferson from Herndon, VA, USA: I have no comment except I am trying to get Ruth Rendell's videos/dvds in the US. Do you have any suggestions as to where I can order them? I have Road Rage and Simsola.
10 Paul Murphy from N.W. England: I have read all the Ruth Rendell mysteries and seen some on TV. A classic, I cannot put it down, experience. The new book-shelf contains DVDs.
9 Susan Parker from London: I've been looking out for them on DVD but they're not available individually or as a box set. I'm not sure why!
Heartstones was my favourite, and May and June was another.
8 Paul Quinnell from Calgary Canada (ex-brit from Portsmouth): I found these shows I've seen to be quite interesting. I've not seen the Strawberry Tree and I was an extra in the marquee scene too!
It was an interesting day of shooting as I recall. I was hopeful about getting some acting experiences. It turned out to be my only one in the UK.
7 Harvey Freeman from Croydon: I've always remembered the Ruth Rendell episode that was filmed in and around Winchester, because I stood by the side watching them film part of it, as I lived in that area at the time (I was about 9 years old, in the mid-nineties). The episode might have been 'Heartstones' or 'May And June', but it's a vague memory so I wouldn't be sure.
6 Bev Sullivan from Idaho, USA: I would like to see the Ruth Rendell mysteries in our area. I saw a few episodes on our PBS channel several years ago and have been waiting for them to reappear. I especially would like to see the episode "The Secret House of Death" as Welsh actor, Owen Teale, is my favorite actor. Love all the British mysteries...and Ruth Rendell is at the top of my list!
5 Simon Hinchco from Hamilton, New Zealand: Hi, I haven't seen the show but I believe there is a person with my surname on the show. If anyone could tell me about the show I'd really appreciate it.
4 Natalie King from Glasgow, Scotland: Vanity Dies Hard was my favourite as i am a big fan of Jane Gurnett who played Nesta. She's a brilliant actress!
3 Mrs. S. Paillet from Brussels, Belgium: "A tree of hands" and "A judgement in stone" are my two favourite R.Rendell's books.
2 sharon from southport: I would also like to echo Barbara's sentiments regarding Master of the Moor, it too is my favourite due the sexiest man alive starring in it! ;-))
1 barbara west from essex: master of the moor is my favourite - mainly because the star is colin firth.

Summit Teaches Networking, Mindsetby Tyler Hardcastle '15 • March 31, 2014 Share:
The fourth annual Entrepreneur Summit brought students, alumni, and other like-minded guests to campus Saturday. The day consisted of a number of events with different aims: several speakers, break-out sessions, and built-in networking time.
The theme of simply beginning the process of entrepreneurship and proceeding with small steps was echoed by many of the speakers. David Weglarz '03 reflected on how starting Still 630 a St. Louis based distillery involved taking a series of steps and risks through which he learned quickly.
"You have to find out what you're passionate about and then go after it, Weglarz said. "You don't try to find what you think is going to be a good business, if you work from the end result backwards, well I don't think that's the way to go."
Weglarz has long held the goal of owning his own business and views experiences like the summit as valuable. The networking sessions especially facilitate interaction between aspiring and current business owners.
"The idea of willfully surrounding yourself with people who maybe are better than you at least in certain ways is key," Weglarz said. "It's one thing that we need to realize, and that I only realized through experience is how much passion can attract people."
Passion is certainly necessary in this area. One of the morning breakout sessions featured Willie Matis '10 and his talk on using social media to make a virtual "first impression".The workshop challenged participants to go beyond the number of followers on whatever platform they used and to look for genuine engagement with the brand or company. Passion comes into play as Matis balances a full-time job as Communications Coordinator for Gleaners Food Bank with his work or HealthNet, Inc. where he built its social media presence.
"Balancing the two roles is tough especially when you're trying to have a life outside of your full-time job while, at the same time, trying to keep your start-up going," Matis said. "It's really just about how to integrate your to-do lists and still get everything you need to do with your full time job."
The summit did not focus solely on starting a business but also encompassed applying entrepreneurship as a way of approaching work, in whatever capacity. Mike Cullen, the founder of Cross-Alliance a company that aids operations leaders in creating environments that call for the best from their employees spoke both categories of attendees.
"I firmly believe that in any organization [the] employees are the best catalyst for growth, profitability, and performance," Cullen said. "So as Wabash College students start to get geared-up for starting their own business or managing people in in the companies they work for. I want to make sure they have some strategies, tactics, and some valuable insights on how to handle people and the importance of the employees in their organization."
The Center for Innovation, Business, and Entrepreneurship (CIBE), met for the first time this weekend to discuss ways that the college can prepare students for their futures. As its name suggests, the board shares an objective with the Summit in offering experiences that will benefit students that aim to start their own business, work for non-profits, or excel with their employers.
"It was the first opportunity for all of us to sit down, I would describe it as something in the formative stages, we're exploring different opportunities to provide, in addition to the classic Liberal Arts education some exposure to entrepreneurial activities, business activities, etc.," Founding Board Member Corey Olson '85 said. "I think we'll get together in the fall and advance the program, figure out exactly how and if to roll it out to the Wabash community."
The CIBE, funded among other programs, by a $1 million grant from the Lilly Endowment, aims to set up year round opportunities for students. Among the potential plans are a physical location downtown near the Montgomery County Economic Development group that would provide resources for collaboration between the entire Wabash community.
"My motivation, my drive to participate in program like this for the college is really in giving back," Olson said speaking about the CIBE and Summit. "Remembering in the mid 80s when I graduated with history major that perhaps i hadn't spent as much time thinking and contemplating what I wanted to do. It's exciting for me to come back and participate."

US authorities say they have arrested a man suspected of sending letters poisoned with ricin to President Barack Obama and Republican Senator Roger Wicker. He has been named as Paul Kevin Curtis, 45, from Mississippi.
The US Justice Department confirmed Wednesday that FBI agents had arrested the 45-year-old suspect at his home in Corinth, Mississippi.
"Today at approximately 5.15 p.m. [2215 UTC], FBI special agents arrested Paul Kevin Curtis," the Justice Department said. He was identified as "the individual believed to be responsible" for the mailings of the letters which were sent through the US Postal Service
The arrest comes hours after the US Secret Service said it had discovered a letter addressed to President Obama that tested positive for the poison ricin. It was reportedly found on Tuesday, the same day a similar letter was posted to Mississippi Senator Roger Wicker was identified.
Media reports suggest that both letters had been signed "I am KC and I approve this message." The wording appeared to emulate the phrase used by political candidates at the end of campaign adverts.
Tensions have been high across the US since the bombings on Monday at the Boston Marathon, when three people were killed and more than 170 injured. The FBI on Wednesday said there were no indications of a link between the letters and the bombing.
All mail to the US Senate has reportedly now been stopped and the Senate mail facility closed while the investigation is underway. Congressional mail has been screened off-site since letters laced with anthrax were sent to Capitol Hill in the wake of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the Pentagon and World Trade Center.
Ricin can prove lethal, even in small quantities, when ingested orally. The poison, found naturally in castor beans, can cause respiratory problems when inhaled.

3DBuildPlanner necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 47 diseños de 13 diseñadores freelance.
3D Build Planner - http://www.3dbuildplanner.com
Hi All - We're a new Canadian software firm, and our product is an application that makes planning a backyard wood project as much fun as building it. Our software lets users choose from their own selection of wood and visualize the project as they put it together.
Details such as measurements, joint spacing, lumber pieces, and fasteners are all tracked automatically to make the whole planning phase a lot more predictable and fun. Wood usage is optimized so we try to reduce any waste (and money) for our customers.
Our web site offers tips, tricks, useful articles, and will be a community driven source for shared projects and designed components.
Please see the intro video on our site (http://www.3dbuildplanner.com) for a quick 2 minute demo.
We expect to target the do-it-yourself home handy-person, who builds occasional fences, decks, play structures, sand boxes, maybe shelving, boat docks, etc.
They're likely in their 20s to 50s, have some experience with a computer and know generally what they want to build, but don't want to bother pulling out the calculator to do it. They'd rather have fun planning the project, and show it off to the community when they're done.
They'd like to see a logo that's impressive, reflects some bit of 3D nature, but doesn't go too overboard, this crowd still appreciates some amount of simplicity and professionalism.
We'd like to stick somewhat to the main colors on the current logo, green and blue to integrate it back into the site.
Clean easy to read fonts, nothing too fancy or intricate. No cartoons.
We're open to how the '3D' portion could be presented, would be interesting to see some combination of 3D graphic alongside some simpler text, almost like a YouTube or other web2.0 logos.
With regard to a color background, would be interesting to see both with and without, as the logo will likely go on the current web site with 'forest' background and might get washed out without a background?
The logo should say "3D Build Planner" along with a smaller tagline "more fun planning, more fun building" below if it fits, we're not sure.
We'd like to get file formats:
Print file format - .ai (CMYK)
Web file format - .jpg and layered .psd (RGB)
Please do not use any stock images or clip art in the logo
Thank-you everyone and good luck!!!

Howdy All.
Met Miracle Marilyn at Manker and left a car (I hate hiking down Bear). It was lovely to not be plagued by gnats, biting flies and mosquitos in the lower section. A group was camping at Bear Flat. As we headed up the dreaded switchbacks through the brush, it was obvious that someone has worked on the trail and trimmed back the brush. Whoever it was, thank you!
We ran into new deadfall at about 7.2 K. My favorite part of this trail is the middle section -- pine forest, expansive views, winding uphill through rocks. Ran into snow just past the narrows and donned microspikes. From 9 K up, what is normally a long slog without snow became even longer
Enjoyed lunch at the peak before heading down the ski hut trail. Kept the microspikes on until the beginning of the "rock garden" at the base of the bowl. From 9 K down to the bottom of the bowl, the snow is a slippery mess -- landed on our butts and backs a few times. Met a couple going up who wanted to come down the Devil's Backbone to the Notch -- we discouraged them. Lots of water in the streams that cross the trail and in San Antonio canyon. Wonderful day.
Miles of smiles,

Greenpeace has published a report on the renewable energy used by major internet companies, including those active in the mobile space. Topping the list is Apple, which apparently runs iCloud and iTunes on 100% green electricity. It's got a massive solar farm powering its North Carolina data center, and plans for geothermal and solar power for its upcoming Nevada data center. Oregon and California data centers are already being powered through wind energy partners.
Google scored fairly well, with 34% of their data centers running on green power. This includes YouTube, the Play Store, Gmail, and all of the other Google services we use daily. Google has made businesses for renewable energy companies in Oklahoma and North Carolina.
Microsoft received C's across the board from Greenpeace when it comes to renewable energy. The biggest complaint was that Microsoft was leaning on the purchase of carbon offset and renewable energy credits, rather than weaning themselves off dirty power. Still, Microsoft has an agreement in place to power a Texas data center with wind power.
Across the board, Amazon scored very poorly, primarily because of a lack of transparency in the types of energy they use. Amazon's massive North Virginia web services data center is apparently only powered by 2% renewable energy.
Green power is a pretty big deal, and it's good to see the companies we're keeping in business are making strides to become environmentally friendly. There are, of course, lots of different aspects that manufacturing partners need to keep an eye out for, but that's a different story. Be sure to check out Greenpeace's Clicking Green report over here [pdf]. Amazon's full report is on page 45, Apple's on 46, Google's on 52, and Microsoft's on 55.

on October 19th, 2008
The second James Bond film, From Russia with Love, was released only a year after the first film Dr. No became a box-office and worldwide smash. The 1963 sequel features one of the best main title sequences for a Bond film (credits projected in light on women\'s undulating bodies!) and follows James Bond (Sean Connery) as he travels to Turkey to aid Soviet Army intelligence corporal Tatiana Romanova (Daniela Bianchi) in defecting to the British with a Lektor cryptographic device. However, the global terrorist organization SPECTRE, led by the mysterious faceless cat-petting Blofeld, has decided to send Donald Grant (Robert Shaw) to intercept the Lektor, and along with the devious Rosa Klebb (Lotte Lenya), they play a game pitting the British against the Russians. The film is one of the best Bond films, and is supposedly one of Connery\'s favorites. We are introduced to "Q" (Desmond Llewelyn), and some nifty Bond gadgets, a sweet Gypsy catfight, and John Barry\'s first full Bond score that sets the tone and style of the scores to come.
Released numerous times on home video, From Russia with Love was meticulously restored from the original camera negative for new "Ultimate Editions" that were released on DVD back in 2006. Lowry Digital, known for their work restoring such films as Star Wars and Citizen Kane, worked on the clean-up process, and high definition transfers were made, though they weren\'t coming out - until now. From Russia with Love is part of the first "wave" of James Bond releases to hit Blu-ray, along with five other Bond films (all in anticipation of the newest adventure, Quantum of Solace). The movie looks and sounds the best it ever has, and is packed to the gills with extras.
Video: The high definition 1080p image is presented in a windowboxed 1.66:1 aspect ratio, giving us more image on the top-and-bottom than the previous 2000 DVD release. Film grain feels natural and there is no gate weave or shake at all - it\'s a rock solid image. Colors are vibrant and flesh tones are natural. Much of the film was shot on sound stages outside of London, and on location in Turkey and Venice, and there is a great amount of detail to be found in the HD image. Textures (skin, clothing, etc.) feel more life-like than before, and the cinematography firmly places the film in the 1960s, with the brightly lit sets, although the locations look spectacular.
Audio: Released in a 5.1 English DTS-HD Master Audio remix, the audio on From Russia with Love is rather front-heavy, with dialogue centered and occasional nice use of the left and right speakers. Sound effects are used sparingly in the rears, and John Barry\'s music is also positioned in the front primarily, but the train sequence towards the end of the film is certain to entertain. The original mono track is also included, for archival purposes in Dolby Digital 2.0.
Supplements: This is the "ultimate edition" of From Russia with Love, and features all of the extras from the past two DVD releases. The menu is broken down into a few "thematic" sections, so I\'ll address them here individually.
MI6 Commentary: Hosted by Ian Fleming foundation member John Cork, the commentary track features director Terence Young as well as many of the principle members of the cast and crew from previous recordings. It\'s a well assembled commentary, providing a wealth of information on the development and adaptation of the film, as well as some interesting anecdotal stories. (Side note: still missing is the original Criterion Collection commentary done for the From Russia with Love laserdisc, which was hosted by film historian Steve Rubin, and featured director Terence Young, editor Peter Hunt, and screenwriter Richard Maibaum)
Declassified: MI6 Vault: Four featurettes are presented here. "Ian Fleming: The CBC Interview" (SD) runs nearly 8-minutes, and features a good interview with Fleming at his "Goldeneye" estate in Jamaica. "Ian Fleming and Raymond Chandler" (SD) is a 5-minute BBC audio interview (set to still images) of Fleming interviewing the other author about their various approaches to character development and other writing techniques. "Ian Fleming on Desert Island Discs" (SD) is another 5-minute BBC audio interview (also set to still images) of Fleming discussing is background as a Navy seaman, a journalist, and how he goes about writing. "Animated Storyboard Sequence" (SD) runs a quick 1.5-minutes, and shows how the boat chase was originally supposed to take place at night. "Credits" (SD, 16x9) just gives us the video credits for the extras.
007 Mission Control: This unique "interactive" listing lets you view your favorite moments from the film, organized by category: "007", "Women", "Allies", "Villains", "Mission Combat Manual", and "Q Branch". "Exotic Locations" (HD) runs 3:15, narrated by Maud Adams (Octopussy), and takes a look (using the film\'s footage) of the various world locations that the movie was shot in. In this case, most of the locations are in Istanbul and locations around Turkey, as well as Venice, Italy.
Mission Dossier: Narrated by Patrick McNee (A View to a Kill), the 34-minute long "Inside From Russia with Love" was originally included on the 2000 DVD, but has been re-done here in HD. As such, all of the still photographs and artwork looks even better! Interviews were done in SD, so they are presented "windowboxed". This featurette takes a good look at the adaptation of the novel (as well as the changes made for the film), the casting, and some of the challenges of the production - including the circumstances of the tragic death of famed Mexican actor Pedro Armendáriz ("Ali Kerim Bey"). Interviews with many of the key players, as well as lot of archival photographs, are included. "Harry Saltzman: Showman"" (HD) is a 26-minute look at the very successful producer who helped bring Bond to the big screen. Finally, the archival "Dr. No 1963 featurette" (SD) is included, running 8.5-minutes. The quality is grainy, dirty and scratchy, but it\'s novel to see how EPKs were handled nearly 50-years ago.
Ministry of Propoganda: The "Theatrical Archive" (7.5-min) includes the "Original Theatrical Trailer: S.P.E.C.T.R.E" (HD), "Bond: Back to Back" (SD), and "The Biggest Bond Sale of All" (SD). Like the spots on Dr. No, it\'s too bad they couldn\'t include these in HD (aside from the theatrical trailer) but I suppose it was just easier to go to the video sources already transferred previously instead of digging back into the vault. 1.5-minutes of "TV Broadcasts" includes three television spots, and 1.5-minutes of "Radio Communication" includes three radio spots for From Russia with Love.
Image Database: An extensive still-frame image database is included in HD, although the photos don\'t seem to take up more room than a SD feature would have. Broken down into "The Filmmakers", "Ian Fleming", "Portraits", "Pinewood", "Dressed to Kill", "Lovely... Lovely", "Tatiana Meets Rosa Klebb", "Istanbul", "The Gypsy Camp", "The Orient Express", "Scotland", "Rats!", "Smoke on the Water", "The Lost Scene", and "Around the World with 007" (posters). The highlight again is "The Lost Scene", which shows stills from an abandoned scene involving Bond being followed a Bulgarian agent. Too bad they didn\'t find the footage for the scene and include it on the disc as an extra!
On Blu-ray, James Bond has never looked or sounded better, and one of the best Connery Bond films, From Russia with Love is excellent. With a healthy heap of extras (sans the Criterion commentary), it\'s a mandatory inclusion in any film enthusiast\'s collection. Now they just need to bring on Goldfinger!

A few months ago the East Bay Regional Park District released a draft Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the Albany Beach Habitat Restoration and Public Access Project. Within this lengthy document is detailed description of the proposed project starting on page 42.
Here is the full Environmental Impact Report(pdf)
Overall I think the plan looks quite nice. It adds restrooms, cleans out the jagged cement fractures and rocks on the south side of the bulb, adds benches and grass, and expands the beach and dunes.
The document doesn't mention a kite specific launch area, however, it does include a non-motorized watercraft staging area with water access(see image above). Kiteboarders lumped in with windsurfers were the only recorded non-motorized watercraft users.
ESTIMATED CURRENT DAILY USERS AT PROJECT SITE (pg 40)
Type of User Average Daily Users
Walker/Hiker (without dog) 170
Walker/Hiker (with dog) 262
Bicyclist 232
Kitesurfer or Windsurfer 10
Adult with Child or Children Under 5 19
Person with Wheelchair or Walker 4
Scavenger or Homeless Person 39
Other Non-motorized Watercraft User 0
It doesn't specify what kind of surface this staging area will be, but "An area would be graded and surfaced for staging non-motorized watercraft, installation of a bench, and access to the beach."(pg53)
Referencing the scale on the first image the staging area looks big enough and at the right angle for launching and landing. However, it is in close proximity of the walking trail and directly upwind of a parking lot, bathroom, and benches.
The only proper access to the park will be from Buchanan Street and the parking lot will consist of 20 parking spots, only 10 of which will be available to us and everyone else.
- "Five spaces designated for drop-off of non-motorized watercraft" (WHY?)
- "Five ADA accessible spaces (including one van accessible)"
- "Ten unrestricted spaces"
If we can still access from Gilman st. and park outside the park on the racetrack property, I don't see an issue, but otherwise, that's not much parking.
EBRPD will be taking comments on the draft EIR till 5pm November 5, 2012. If you want to submit a comment, send to email@example.com

Tag: 'sugar pear'
February 7, 2008 at 7:55 am
No matter how many animals they categorize into species and phylums and kingdoms, they always seem to be discovering giant squids in the North Pacific or new mammals in Borneo. And no matter how many fruits and vegetables I've tried over the past year, I'm always finding new ones that I've never heard of.
Seckel pears
Food is so much cuter when it's miniaturized. That's why I buy baby carrots instead of their full-sized cousins. When I saw an eight pack of pears each the size of a baby's fist, I snatched them up. These itty-bitty pears are also known as sugar pears, and after I bit into one it was clear why. They're very sweet. Their small size makes them great for portion control too. I ate one or two at a time when I just wanted a small snack. I'd buy them again, but I got them at the late, great Sunflower Market, so I'll have to find another sugar pear dealer before that happens. I'll comfort myself in the mean time with this site […]

Adrienne Johnson scored two goals and Haley Wahrhaftig had a pair of saves to lead Appoquinimink to their 8th victory of the season.
It was a close, tough, battle, but the Appoquinimink girls' soccer team stayed undefeated in the 2013 season after beating Concord HS 2-0 at home Monday afternoon. Senior midfielder Adrienne Johnson scored both goals for Appo.
Throughout the first half, Appoquinimink was repeatedly on the attack, firing numerous shots at Concord goal keeper Alexis Moore. The Lady Jaguars had about six good scoring opportunities. At least two of the shots zoomed wide past the net, and Moore made nice saves on four high percentage shots. Meanwhile, the Jags defense played a strong game, keeping the Raiders strikers away from the front of the net, and away from Jag net-minder Haley Wahrhaftig.
Appo finally got on the board near the end of the first half, when Johnson scored in the 37th minute after receiving a pass from Erica Sieban for a 1-0 lead.
Appoquinimink kept up their offensive barrage, and dominated play throughout the second half. Johnson scored her second and final goal of the game on an unassisted tally in the 76th minute. Wahrhaftig continued her strong play, stopping a breakaway by Concord. She finished with two official saves for the game.
Appoquinimink is now 8-0 on the season with the offense averaging just over four goals per game. Their next game is Wednesday at Newark HS at 7 p.m., and again on Monday afternoon against Charter School at the Hockessin Montessori School.
Concord's record dropped to 4-2. The Raiders next games are Wednesday at William Penn at 3:30 p.m., and again at home on Saturday vs. Sussex Tech at 1 p.m.
