I'm in. Do we get to pick what Pokemon we start off with and what type?
I figured it'd be nice to do a Pokémon Rp, using 4 trainers. We would double up to do it. I have no specified gender pairings, so MxM, MxF And FxF are all fine. I'd like to focus on the journey they take, and the changes emotionally, physically and emotionally that arise from it. I think it might be cute to have the two romantic pairings, and a non romantic relationship, which is focused upon the twins in the group. I will do any region, and don't mind mature rps.
For anyone who hasn't heard a Somerset accent, please listen to this if my character is stated to orginate from there.
I'd looooooove one starting in Kanto. <3
I am interested and love the romance idea
Count me interested too? I was thinking of starting a Pokemon Group RP too, but this seems like the perfect fit!
{This post has been wiped off the face of the internet due to the excessive amount of confusion it was loaded with. Feel free to ignore it!}

Okay. I have had two people drop. I have 2 1x1 slots left. There seems to have been some confusion regarding this. I have a separate group one, which is currently full. This is a 1x1, in which we play two characters each.

'Scores' of new jobs at Sellafield
Published at 11:09, Thursday, 17 November 2011
SELLAFIELD is boosting local employment by taking on an extra "police" force that will create scores of new jobs for local people.
Mitie Security Services has been awarded a Sellafield Ltd contract to help Civil Nuclear Constabulary keep the nuclear site safe and secure.
Mitie will recruit locally from this week and give specialist training.
"It means local jobs for local people, and that has to be good news for Copeland," said West Cumbria Stakeholders Group chairman David Moore.
"I understand the numbers are significant. It shows again that nuclear is a good source of jobs."
"Excellent," said Copeland Council leader Elaine Woodburn. "We've been through a difficult time lately, especially with the Mox plant closure, so to hear there's going to be some new local jobs especially with Christmas coming on is very heartening."
Some open days are planned to help with recruitment.
The 'commercial guard force' will be responsible on checks and searches, including workers' passes and vehicles. But personnel will not be armed, unlike the Civil Nuclear Constabulary force who will concentrate on top priority anti-terrorism duties.
These include securing the plutonium stocks. The CNC armed officers are licensed to fire weapons in defence of the site.
The prospect of a commercial guard force being brought in was revealed by The Whitehaven News in August and this week Sellafield's stakeholders director Iain Irving said: "I can confirm we have awarded a contract to Mitie Security Services. What it means is a significant number of new jobs in the local area."
Mitie Security brings a wealth of experience in the field and the range of duties will include searching and controlling access in and out of the site.
"The addition of a commercial guard force further strengthens and complements existing security arrangements thereby allowing the CNC to do what it does best.
"We are definitely not saying anything is unsafe or that it is the result of any incident or heightening of security.
"It reflects our desire to continually look to enhance and improve site security, both physically and in terms of manpower. We want to ensure they are robust and effective both now and into the future."
Union organiser Peter Kane said: "We were looking for Sellafield Ltd to employ the guard force directly but because of the cost of the training involved it wasn't going to be viable. However, Costain say they are going to employ local people, it is something we obviously welcome."
Mr Moore added: "While it's great news about the jobs it frees up the CNC for the specialist work of anti-terrorism where it is best focused."
Nuclear regulatory authorities have approved the guard force which will be fully operational early next year.
For security reasons, Sellafield Ltd can't disclose exactly how many new jobs are being recruited but Mr Irving said it would be scores.
And with Cumbria Constabulary confirming to The Whitehaven News that it has around 90 mobile officers covering Copeland, the borough has more nuclear police than civil constables.
CNC recently boosted its own numbers by around 80 and its officers and specially-trained German shepherds will also continue to patrol the site.

Midway Middle School hosted Roseboro-Salemburg Thursday for their last home game of the season. The Lady Raiders won the opening game while the Leopards claimed the boys game.
The Lady Raiders got off to a hot start and never looked back as they posted a 56-0 shutout of the visiting Lady Leopards. They led 18-0 after a quarter and 41-0 at intermission.
Blythe Best led the Midway scoring effort with 10 points. Additional scorers included Leah Williams, Alex Canady, Madeline Royal, and Lindsey Naylor with 6 points each. The foursome of Sabria Crowell, Hannah Lucas, Maggie Warren, and Rachel Hodges scored 4 a piece. Brittany Rodriguez, Kyla Kibler, and Logan Baggett contributed 2 each.
In rebounding, Royal grabbed 5. Best claimed 7 steals, while Canady had 6 takeaways.
"I thought our team played very well. They had a very good defensive game," remarked
Midway coach Selena Joseph. "Every girl scored and that hasn't happened before."
The nightcap belonged to the visiting Leopards. The final score was 46-39 in a hard-fought contest.
Midway took the early lead, but Roseboro-Salemburg forged ahead 13-9 by the end of the opening period. The Leopards led 23-16 at halftime. It was a close 33-30 game following the 3rd quarter.
Keshawn Bailey scored 6 points in the final frame, including 4 free throws, to lead the Leopards to victory. He finished with 8 points, but the team leader was Quamaine Williams with 16. Akili Underwood added 7, while Zack Tanner connected for 6. Tyler James dropped in 4. William Peete and Johnny Owens scored 2 each.
For the Raiders, Michael Kramer led the way with 22 points. Reece Wilson posted 10. Octavius Sankey nailed a 3 pointer, while Austin Smith and Greg Orr added 2 each.
"Midway played us real good this time," asserted Leopard coach Todd Wheeler. "At the end we played a good defense and hit some crucial free throws." The win completed a 3 game sweep of the Raiders for Roseboro-Salemburg boys.

Mark R wrote:My folly comment was a response to your prejudice that there is such a thing as a 'true' sea kayak.
Then why say it like this?:
Mark R wrote:But to pretend they don't exist (and don't utterly dominate the market) is folly.
You seemed to be complaining more about me not giving SOTs the respect they're due due to their high sales. Obviously, that isn't the case.
Far as what is and is not a 'true sea kayak', well, 'right tool for the right job' and all that.
SOTs can do a lot, and I don't hate them. Their commercial success is deserved, and I think can be learned from a bit.
Nor do I think that a phony 'us vs them' mentality has to exist between SOTs and more traditional boats. IMO, SOTs can actually be a 'gateway drug' to other types of kayaks, and even vice-versa at times.
But realistically, can SOTs do absolutely everything as well as what the hardcore would consider a 'true' sea kayak? No, not really.
At least I've never heard anyone maintain such with a straight face.

My voyage with the Star Trek universe was captained by my grandfather Glen, or Papaw as we called him. He loved the show and the movies, and shared them with my brothers and me when we would visit him during the summers of our childhood. I never cared for the show, but the movies have always been close to my heart. Like GI Joe and Star Wars, both gems of childhood, I'm always precarious to try to rule a fair verdict on their re-births into the pop culture lexicon through film and other mediums, but who am I kidding, I review them all anyway.

Some Lubbock locals may have been too tied up with Mother's Day arrangements to slow down for a quick beer this past weekend. Reasonably, many would not consider the bar environment an appropriate setting to bring mom along. However, being that Lubbock's 2nd annual Blues and Brews Festival took place on Saturday May 11th a few locals managed to kill two birds with one stone.

Europortfolio: Call for a European Consortium
The worldwide emergence of the ePortfolio is transforming our current views on learning technologies. For the first time in the relatively short history of learning technologies we are seeing the rise of a new generation of tools dedicated to valuing and celebrating the achievements of the individual, from nursery school to lifelong and life wide learning, a technology providing a key link for individual, organisational as well as community learning (e.g. communities of practice, learning regions and cities). While some countries and regions are already providing the infrastructure required to offer ePortfolio access to all citizens, other regions and countries are considering it, and others have yet to discover its possibilities.
Europortfolio are looking for partners to submit a proposal to the European Commission. Posible funding is 150.000€ per year, with a maximum of 3 years. Deadline for the submission of proposals is 1 March 2012.
Despite success recorded in the development of ePortfolio initiatives in Europe and beyond, the growth of ePortfolio is still extremely patchy across institutions, regions and sectors. This is the consequence of a lack of leadership resulting in the fragmentation of initiatives, information, technologies and actors.
Leadership: despite the efforts made by a number of actors, including those who have succeeded in making Europe a worldwide ePortfolio actor, this initial leadership has not yet been translated into a shared European ePortfolio vision, practice and infrastructure.
Fragmentation of initiatives: most initiatives occur at individual, local and organisational levels, few at regional, national and international levels (e.g. European Language Portfolio). This fragmentation, which sometimes mirrors that of political structures (municipality/district/region/nation), institutions and sectors, is detrimental to the emergence of a an ePortfolio ecosystem working across space, time and institutions.
Fragmentation of technologies: despite efforts on interoperability (e.g. IMS and LEAP 2A standards) ePortfolios are not interoperable across ePortfolio platforms and main stream information systems in education, human resource development and employment.
Fragmentation of actors: distance, language and cultural barriers affect the ability to share information and build shared knowledge within and across sectors and frontiers. The results of interesting experiences, both successful, as well as failed, are not easily accessible to those planning or making decisions in relation to ePortfolio policy/technology implementation.
Fragmentation of information: despite the efforts of a number of actors, there is no single centralised point from which it is possible to find all relevant information on ePortfolios initiatives, technologies, practice and actors.
In order to address those issues, we are working on building a consortium to submit a proposal to the European Commission. Posible funding (link) is 150.000€ per year, with a maximum of 3 years. Deadline for the submission of proposals is 1 March 2012.
An initial summary of the proposal is accessible at http://tinyurl.com/7ddhs73.
If you are interested to join as a partner or associated partner, you are invited to provide details using an online form accessible at: http://tinyurl.com/7hrxghs. Responses will be used to update the Summary and to invite partners to join as Partner or Associate Partner.

9. Koblenzer eLearning-Tag Das eLearning-Forum an Rhein und Mosel
In diesem Jahr konzentriert sich die Veranstaltung auf das Thema "eAssessment" – die computerunterstützte Bewertung von Wissen und Können. Neben dem vieldiskutierten Thema der online-Klausur spannt sich der Bogen der Themen vom Datenschutz über Prüfungen mit ePortfolios bis zu technischen Fragen.
So bietet KeLT 2011 bereits zum neunten Mal Bildungspraktikern am Mittelrhein die Möglichkeit, neueste Entwicklungen zu verfolgen und Erfahrungen auszutauschen. Die Mischung von Beiträgen aus der Region und von ReferentInnen aus dem In- und Ausland trägt dazu bei, die Perspektive zu weiten und dieses facettenreiche Thema in ganzer Breite zu diskutieren.

The three commissioners present heard pretty much the same thing from county Community Development Director Chad Jacobs and Building Inspector Eric Mallard on all seven structures – that each was unfit for human occupancy or habitation, each was 100 percent damaged, and the cost of repairs to bring the building into compliance exceeds fair market value.
With all but one, Jacobs recommended and the commissioners agreed to the owner having 90 days to complete demolition and removal of the building, in addition to clearing and reseeding the lot.

WASHINGTON >> Spending a night in the Washington in Litchfield County, as opposed to that other, much more partisan Washington, must be a refreshing reprieve.
And that's what the Clinton family was doing Saturday in Connecticut, where former President Bill Clinton is scheduled to campaign for U.S. Senate candidate Chris Murphy in Waterbury Sunday.
Mr. Clinton, joined by his wife, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, their daughter Chelsea Clinton and her husband, Marc Mezvinsky, were reported by sources in Washington, Conn., to be spending Saturday night at the posh Mayflower Inn & Spa, celebrating Hillary Clinton's birthday. She turned 65 Friday.
Saturday was apparently a day of leaf peeping that included a noon lunch at chef Carole Peck's acclaimed Good News Café in Woodbury. Mother and daughter enjoyed chicken and salad plates, Mr. Mazvinsky had the lamb hero and Mr. Clinton, who is said to be a vegan, ordered the bean burrito without dairy.
"Well I said to them, 'I assume you came to Good News because I'm one of the few Democrats in Woodbury,'" said Ms. Peck, who had no idea they were coming.
After lunch, the popular political family made its way to Washington Depot's Hickory Stick Bookshop, where children's book illustrator Wendell Minor was signing copies of his latest effort, "If You Spent a Day with Thoreau at Walden Pond."
Author Davyne Verstandig, an English professor at the University of Connecticut campus in Torrington and a devout Democrat, was present for the surprise drop in.
"They were very gracious," she said. "I happened to have on my Obama pin and Hillary thanked me."`
Though it was unclear where the Clintons went next, it was suggested that they have dinner plans with a local family with whom they are friends.
According to the Mayflower Inn, there is nobody by the name of Clinton on the registry. But other sources in town said it was certain they were staying there, and elaborated that there obvious and high levels of security at the resort inn. Continued...
Mr. Clinton is scheduled to speak at Library Park in Waterbury at 3 p.m. on Sunday on behalf of Mr. Murphy, who is in a tight race with wrestling world figure Linda McMahon for the Senate seat being left open by the retirement of Sen. Joe Liberman (D-New Haven).

Faron Fredericks and Brenden Bergen are co-race coordinators for the event this year and said with the races only a month away, registration has been going well.
"We have over 1,100 total entrants, "Fredericks said. "That's a little better than this time last year. Pushing back the date has helped us. My co-director Brenden and I are runners and we know that runners don't typically train a lot over the holiday season. So when we took on this task we tried to push back the date to give people more time to train for it."
This year's race, which takes place March 23, will feature hundreds of runners from throughout the region. Fredericks said most runners will come from the Rome, Dalton and Cartersville areas but he expects many from the Atlanta area as well since The Big Peach Running Company in Atlanta is offering in-store registration for the events.
Rome resident Molly Maddox, 25, is running the half marathon this year, her second time at that distance. She has also run the 10k event in the past.
"I am running four to five days a week alternating trails and road along with some hills," she said of her training routine. "I run three days of longer mileage then one or two days of lighter runs."
Another Rome runner, 23-year-old Stephanie Davis, is running her first official 10k at the Berry races this year. She has been running for two years.
"I train outdoors with my sister Diana," Stephanie said. "And indoors at the Rome Athletic Club. I love running because it's something I literally thought I could never do. I started out walking, then slow jogging and now I've run a 10k distance without stopping. I'm doing it for my health and because working out makes you look and feel great."
Registration for the Half Marathon is $65 through March 17. After that, registration is $75. The 10k carries a registration fee of $25 through March 17 after which the price goes up to $30. Registration for the 5k is $20 through March 17 after which it goes up to $25. And finally, the 1-mile Fun Run is $5 to participate, with registration being accepted through mail or on race day.
Registration forms for all the events are available online at berry.edu
Half marathon participants will receive a Dri-fit shirt as well as a finisher's medal.
All the proceeds from the event will benefit the Berry College Elementary School. Fredericks and Bergen have a special reason for wanting to put on the best possible race this year.
"Brenden and I are tied to this school," Fredericks said. "We want this to be a really successful event because this is a major fundraiser for the school. Our wives teach there and my kids attend that school. It's important to us to make this a really great event."
The race formats will remain the same as last year, with aid stations offering Powerade, water and energy gels to runners. There will also be monitors all along the route who are medical professionals and can treat a variety of injuries and conditions runners may face.
Harbin Clinic and Redmond physicians and medical staff will be available in the First Aid tent near the finish line. There will be Emergency Medical Technicians on the course. Athletic Trainers will be available in the Advance Rehab tent.
And the event could not take place without the hundreds of volunteers, Fredericks said.
"All parents of our school students volunteer and we even have to ask Berry students to help as well. We need course monitors, people to setup and take down as well as trash cleanup and people to help with the spaghetti dinner," he said. "This cannot happen without volunteers."
Those wishing to volunteer at the races can contact Fredericks or Bergen through email at firstname.lastname@example.com.
And while there will be many experienced runners on the course, there will also be hundreds of novice runners or those who have never participated in an official race before.
Fredericks said there is still a month left to register and train.
"I encourage anyone to come out and participate," he said. "If you've never run a race before you can use the run-walk-run method. For example, you can walk for five minutes and run for one minute, or whatever suits your fitness level. It's all about the experience. Don't worry about time. Just have fun and try to finish. It's all about doing your best."

Psychedelic Pill absolutely rocks. This is what rock-and-roll is supposed to be: loud, cranky, and grungy. You won't want to listen to these tracks on shuffle--this is an album meant to be experienced beginning to end. That being said, if listening to 87 minutes of Neil Young and Crazy Horse isn't your style, you still won't want to miss "Ramada Inn" and "Walk Like a Giant," two of their best songs ever and probably two of the best songs of the year. These cranky old rockers sound like they did at their peak, and if that sounds like something you'd like, you will love Psychedelic Pill.
I am of two minds about this CD. I love it but I also think it's pretentious and ridiculous. I love the music and her voice but the poetry sometimes makes me cringe...or chuckle. But who am I to complain? I have no muse.
I figured I better review the new dB's CD Falling Off the Sky since I mentioned its release as being the reason behind my recommending their Sound of Music a few months ago. One of the best things about it is that the music isn't a rehash of old dB's, they are older and wiser and it shows in the content of their songs. There are several catchy songs but also a few colossal duds, the worst being the weepy lament "Far Away and Long Ago". The rest of them are middle of the road pop/rock
Everyone I've played this CD for loves it. Well, not my sister's boyfriend who is Alice Cooper's biggest fan, but everyone else. It's a great retro 50s R&B album with a modern sensibility.
Playful quirkiness, precisely detailed songcraft, and lyrics that you want to listen to are the hallmarks of this New York's "anti-folk" singer-songwriter. Upon first listen, I loved the quality of Spektor's voice but was slightly put off by some of her characteristic vocal mannerisms and doodads. Listeners will probably either love her or hate her, but I found that after the second time through this album, I was won over.
The band's name says it all: Fun. I started listening to this CD in the car without knowing what to expect and was a believer by the end of the first track. Loaded with hooks and anthemic sing-along choruses, the whole album will just lift you up. You'll time travel to the days of Queen when listening to "Some Nights Intro" and even if you haven't been young for years, you'll love "We Are Young", the hit single that reached #3 on the Billboard Hot 100. Sign me up for the fan club!
The release today of the dB's first album in 25 years got me to thinking about The Sound of Music. The catchy tunes and smart lyrics are timeless. You won't be saying "that's wicked eighties" like my sister's boyfriend always does when she plays her favorites from that era. These are just well crafted pop songs that are about something. Who can't relate to lyrics like these from "Working for Somebody Else": "I been working too hard and too long for too little / Seems like every day is just about the same / And it don't get any better." It'
Former Soul Coughing frontman Mike Doughty's wordplay is what makes this an interesting CD. He can be very amusing and he comes up with great lines. When was the last time you heard someone say claptrap? In Rational Man he starts with "Don't give me your claptrap, Don't give me your stinking words, You make me feel like a fat sap, Hapless, in a dirty shirt." Another great line is "She doesn't fall in love, She takes hostages" from The Huffer and the Cutter. The duet with Rosanne Cash, Holiday (What do you want), is as much ab
Will Dailey—a local musician who has been playing in Boston and around the country for many years—compiled his two digitally released EPs from 2009 to create this 13-song powerhouse CD that includes a 60s-inspired rock song evoking Neil Young, an anthem for Boston's Allston neighborhood, and guest vocals and guitar work from veterans of the Boston music scene, including Kay Hanley (Letters to Cleo), Elliot Easton (The Cars), and Tim Brennan (Dropkick Murphys). If you haven't heard Dailey's music, he's worth the listen!

Great Plains Literacy Council Administrative Assistant Elsa L. Garcia (left) enrolled Ayshen Oner Sayil, a native of Turkey, as an adult learner of the English language. Ayshen has been assigned to meet weekly with her volunteer tutor Mary Bitney at the Altus Air Force Base Library. Since Ayshen will return to her country to complete a masters' degree in nursing, Mrs. Bitney will use health curriculum in teaching English. The local literacy program impacts adult learners, who come from a variety of countries and have various goals in learning to speak, read, or write English better.
The beginning of a new school year is often hectic, but is also a meaningful time for adults to recognize and celebrate the value of learning. International Literacy Day, observed worldwide on September 8, and the National Adult Education & Family Literacy Week during September 10-16 were opportunities to focus on the issue of literacy, which affects children and adults throughout the world. The Great Plains Literacy Council, a non-profit educational organization that supports efforts to help adult learners in Jackson County and Harmon County, recognized these important celebrations of learning.
The literacy council's community relations committee assigned all board members and staff to distribute posters recruiting tutors and adult learners during these celebrations. The posters stated "The whole purpose of education is to turn mirrors into windows!" and featured contact information.
The Great Plains Literacy Council hosted a Tutor Talk event to kick-off the celebrations on September 7 at the Altus Public Library meeting room. Volunteer tutors were able to hear an update on some new procedures, to promote family reading, and to see some new ESL and computer resources. Tutors unable to attend scheduled another time to receive the information, plus all tutors received a literacy notepad.
During September 10-16, all adult learners and tutors received some refreshments at their tutoring locations, including a box of raisins with the message "Together We're Raisin' Literacy". The adult learners selected free children's books to read to their children or grandchildren.
The Great Plains Literacy Council arranged a window display at the Altus Public Library to emphasis the value of family literacy. The display emphasizes the single greatest thing parents can do to insure their children's success is to read to them every day.
"The United Nations estimates that one-fifth of the world's adult population cannot read or write," said Ryan Howard, board president of the Great Plains Literacy Council. "Illiteracy is not only a problem in other countries, but also here in our country, state and community."
More than one million Oklahoma adults function at the lowest two literacy levels, according to the National Assessment of Adult Literacy. This means that these adults do not have the functional literacy skills necessary to perform the most basic tasks such as complete a job application or understand instructions from medical care providers.
"Because of these needs," stated Howard, "the literacy council has utilized the one-to-one or small class tutoring for adults with trained volunteers since 1985."
The Great Plains Literacy Council praises the dedication of volunteer literacy tutors. In the past year, 36 active tutors opened up a new world by teaching their students to read better. These tutors donated over 2,300 hours to the program. Many tutors have commented that while teaching someone to read, write or speak English, the tutors were surprised what they learned also. There is always a need for more volunteers.
The literacy council is proud of the achievements of the 100 adult learners this past year. On November 5, the annual Literacy Appreciation Luncheon and Program will be hosted by the board and staff to recognize the progress of adult learners. Whether getting a driver's license, reading a book to a child, or getting US citizenship, all learners have a variety of personal goals that have required some assistance and encouragement from literacy volunteers.
The State Legislature, the Oklahoma Department of Libraries, the Priddy Foundation, and the Rural Oklahoma Community Foundation have also been supportive of literacy and provided grant funding to Great Plains Literacy Council and the Southern Prairie Library System for educational literacy programs. Individual and organizational donations have been of value to the literacy council.
Here are some ways to share literacy with family, friends and the community:
•Read books every day, and let people see you do it. You may be a role model (to your child, your niece or nephew, or some other individual in your family or circle of acquaintances).
•Get a library card which is a passport to travel to other places and times through the pages of a book.
•Talk about reading. Ask questions about what the individuals in your life are reading.
•Get involved with the local literacy programs at the Altus and Hollis Public Libraries, which encourage reading in your community. See what you can do to help. Feel welcome to call the Great Plains Literacy Council at 477-2890 or stop by the Altus Public Library (421 N. Hudson) or the Hollis Public Library (W. Broadway and 2nd) for a visit.

Hello from n00b central!
I have a fairly old machine (2ghz, 256mb ram), on which I installed wattOS. I would like to be able to access this box remotely from my window$ laptop and see the desktop.
I am familiar with VNC, so I installed tight VNC through the package manager.
I ran the software from the terminal by typing vncserver, and it seems to be running if I check the performance monitor, but I can't seem to access it from my window$ machine using the Tight VNC software. I can ping the machine.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Christiaan, my greatest success with remote access has been with teamviewer. It is a great program and simple to set up and use. I have attached the link below. Download the Debian Ubuntu version to install on wattOS. I believe you will like it very much. Use the GDebi Package Installer in System Tools to install it. Of course, you must also install the Windows version on your Windows machine so they can communicate. If the link doesn't work, just copy and paste it into your browser address bar.
I will just give you a brief answer for now, and then will get back to after a little research. In response to your first issue, I have enabled the setting in teamviewer for Unattended Remote Access. This works great for me, and I have attached the link for instructions on how to do this. The second issue you mentioned is something that I have not yet tried, but I will give it a try on my system and get back to you with my findings.
One more thing to add: If you have not done so already, download the .pdf manuals for both Teamviewer User Manual and also Teamviewer Remote Control Manual. It will take some research, but you should be able to find answers to all of your questions there.
from the forum entry http://www.planetwatt.com/forums/topic/45/where-did-the-autostart-folder-g
I copied one of the files in /etc/xdg/autostart and changed the settings therein to look at teamviewer. Now teamviewer starts up when I startup the machine!
I also have telnet access as backup in case I have problems with teamviewer access.
I would still like to know how to set up TightVNC though.
Thank you Richard and Ash for your help!
Christiaan, it looks like you have made tremendous progress as a result of much hard work. You certainly deserve the success. I would like to be able to assist you with TightVNC, but it has been a while since I worked with it. I did manage to get it working on the first try followed by a little tuning, probably just lucky. However, then I found Teamviewer, and frankly, I have never looked back. To me, Teamviewer won without question, and for my use, it is completely satisfactory. But, if you keep trying for success with TightVNC, I am sure you will get it working.

text: The Show Catwalk Close up Back stage Fashion Shows Spring/Summer 2007 Ready-To-Wear Stella McCartney 05 October 2006 ANYTHING for an easy life. That was the ethos carried forth from Stella McCartney in her spring/summer collection, which catered to the needs of women who don't have the time or inclination to do high maintenance. The designer is pregnant with her second child, which may account for the casual, kick-back-your-heels-and-have-a-break approach. Maybe it was the baby presence that brought so many romper suits onto the McCartney catwalk - cropped into short versions in cobalt blue and khaki. Her sexy boyfriend shirtdresses were present as ever, loose, and this time sewn together at the knee. Sack dresses, in navy and fresh white with large plumed sleeves billowing on the shoulders, could have doubled as infinitely chic maternity wear, as could her voluminous trapeze coats. But McCartney isn't an egotist and this wasn't a personal wardrobe: the stars that flock to her doors need something to wear on the red carpet and Little Miss Stella, as the Mr Men book invitation referred to her, had it covered. Metallic embroidered mini-dresses and Champagne satin and blush chiffon concoctions of pretty, filmy dresses should see their fare share of flash bulbs. And they're quite nice for the yummy mummy out for a night of pampering too. (6 October 2006, PM) Stephen Doig TOP TEN FASHION MOMENTS 1. Easy breezy bits and pieces 2. Boyfriend shirts, for that morning after sexiness 3. Khakis and the odd graphic print 4. Voluminous shapes 5. Trapeze coats 6. Puffsleeves and wide collars 7. Simplicity 8. That tousled McCartney/Moss hair 9. Romper suits 10. Smocks

Nintendo: Inazuma Eleven Not Officially Launched in the UK
Posted Fri, 04 Feb 2011 by James Newton
Stock released "in error"
Our British copy of Inazuma Eleven arrived recently, flying in the face of general wisdom that the game isn't yet available in the UK. Since then we've been in contact with Nintendo UK, who have been able to clarify the situation.
Robert Saunders, Nintendo's head of communications, confirmed that the game has not officially launched in the UK, but that a small number of copies were sent out from the company's warehouse "in error".
Nintendo stills plans to release the game later on this year alongside the TV cartoon series. We'll have more news when it arrives.

CLAREMORE, Okla. - Rogers State University introduced Roxanne Long as it's new head women's basketball coach at a press conference on RSU's Claremore campus on Monday.
Long, who has served as the head women's basketball coach at Texas Lutheran University for the past four years, becomes the second head coach over the RSU women's basketball program. She replaces Amy Williams who spent five years at the helm of the Hillcat women's basketball program and left RSU to become the head coach at the University of South Dakota, a NCAA Division I program.
"I am extremely grateful and excited for the opportunity to coach this first class program," Long said. "I am looking forward to continuing to build a culture of excellence at Rogers State."
Long revived a women's basketball program at TLU that went 1-49 in the two years prior to her appointment. In her first season with the Bulldogs, the team registered a 7-18 record, marking the 11th-best turn-around in NCAA Division III in 2008-2009. One season later, her team posted its first winning record in school history as a member of the American Southwest Conference. She was named ASC Co-Coach of the Year in 2009 and produced the best winning percentage of any TLU women's basketball coach in the NCAA Division III era.
"We are thrilled to announce Roxanne Long as the new head women's basketball coach at Rogers State," Director of Athletics Ryan Bradley said. "Coach Long possesses every quality we look for in a head coach. She's a proven winner as both a standout player and a coach. She's smart, tough, caring, and she devotes herself to ensuring that her student-athletes succeed on the court and in the classroom. I have no doubt that Coach Long will continue to build upon the strong foundation that has been established with Hillcat women's basketball."
Prior to her stint at TLU, Long spent eight years as a varsity head coach at the high school ranks in Texas. She spent five years (2003-2008) at Central High School in Keller, Texas where she was a Texas Basketball Coaches finalist for the State of Texas Coach of the Year. She was named district Coach of the Year in 2007. The team reached the postseason on three occasions and enjoyed two 20-win seasons. From 2000-2003, Long was the varsity head coach at Diamond Hill High School in Fort Worth, Texas where she turned a 0-25 program around and led the team to its first playoff appearance. She was also named district coach of the year.
Long is no stranger to the state of Oklahoma. She ignited her coaching career as a graduate assistant at Oral Roberts University under Jerry Finkbeiner from 1998-2000. While she was on the bench with the Golden Eagles the team won a conference championship and garnered a NCAA Tournament berth.
Long spent five years (1993-1998) at the University of Oklahoma as a shooting guard. She was a three-year starter for the Sooners and the team captain during her junior and senior campaigns. She ranks in the top-10 in the OU record book in minutes played and 3-point field goals made. She received the Conference Medal Award, the Sooners' Outstanding Female Athlete of the Year and the Jay Myer Award.
Long excelled not only on the court, but also in the classroom as she was named First Team Academic All Big 8 and Academic All Big 12.
Long earned a master's degree in education from Oral Roberts University and received her bachelor's degree in education from the University of Oklahoma. She graduated from Crescent Valley High School in Corvallis, Ore. where she was the salutatorian of her high school graduating class. Long was an All-State basketball selection in Oregon and was selected as the conference MVP in high school.
Long comes from a strong coaching family. She is the daughter of Rocky Long, head football coach at San Diego State University. Her sister Hannah serves as the women's volleyball coach at Southwestern University in Georgetown, Texas.
From Sherri Coale, Head Women's Basketball Coach, University of Oklahoma: "Roxanne Long is a tremendous competitor. As a collegiate player, she welcomed challenges, meeting all with a relentless work ethic and a steely determination. I am certain that those same traits will be evident from her on the sideline and from her team on the floor at Rogers State."

Environmental Impact Assessment: Screening directions and Scoping opinions
The Town and Country Planning (Environmental Impact Assessment) (England & Wales) Regulations 1999 (Statutory Instrument 1999 No. 293) – also known as the EIA Regulations – form part of the development control system in England and relate to certain types of development.
The EIA Regulations relate to a European Union Directive (Directive 85/337/EEC as amended by Directive 97/11/EC on the assessment of the effect of certain public and private projects on the environment), and give planning authorities a means of ensuring that they can take account of the environmental, economic and social implications of individual developments in their decisions on planning applications.
The EIA Regulations place a number of responsibilities on planning authorities, which relate to the different stages of the environmental impact assessment (EIA) process.
Stage 1: Screening to determine whether EIA is required
The EIA Regulations only apply to certain types of development, and before the Council can request an EIA it must determine whether the proposal is subject to the Regulations and can be classified as 'EIA development', and decide whether EIA is required in that particular case. This process is called 'screening' and there are two ways in which it can be applied:
1. A developer can ask the planning authority to give an EIA screening opinion before the application for planning permission is submitted.
2. Where a planning application has been submitted without an environmental statement and alternatively no request has been made in the past for a screening opinion, the planning authority has the right to adopt an EIA screening opinion for the proposal, which will determine whether or not the scheme requires EIA.
In either case the planning authority has 3 weeks within which to adopt their EIA screening opinion from the date on which the request was received (for (1) above) or the planning application was deemed to be valid (for (2) above). In both cases the 3 week period can be extended, if the developer agrees in writing to the extension. Once the screening opinion has been adopted, it is required to be held in a public register for 2 years. The list below contains all EIA Screening & Scoping Opinions issued in the past two years and where an Environmental Statement is available a link to it is provided.
Stage 2: Scoping to determine what information should be covered by an EIA
Where a proposed scheme is determined to be 'EIA development', the developer can ask the planning authority for advice on the scope of the information to be gathered during the EIA and to be covered in the Environmental Statement (which reports on the findings of the EIA).
The planning authority has a period of 5 weeks within which to produce an EIA scoping opinion, which can be extended if the developer agrees in writing to the extension. The planning authority is legally required to consult with the Environment Agency, Natural England, English Heritage and the Greater London Authority. Once the scoping opinion has been adopted, it is held in a public register for 2 years, this is available online below.
Stage 3: Reviewing the adequacy of environmental statements
Once an environmental statement has been submitted with a planning application the planning authority can request additional information if it considers the environmental statement to be inadequate. The adequacy of environmental statements is determined by comparison with the content requirements of the EIA Regulations.
Public register
The Temperate House, Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew
Proposed development to restore Temperate House to include kitchen extension, public toilets and central activity space for community outreach.
Twickenham Sorting Office Site, London Road, Twickenham
