What are Row Level Permissions?
An example of row level permissions would be: "User A has read-access to article 234" or "User D has read, write access to article 234".
Why do we need this?
An example of where this would be useful is a forum or message board. With the current permission system, a user is capable of editing all the posts or unable to edit any posts. After implementing a row level permission, it can be modified so a user is capable of editing only their own personal posts.
Current Status
At this current point of time, you can create row level permissions and modify them using the API. Checking of row level permissions are currently not implemented.
- More unit tests
- Tidy up the admin interface and finish the AJAX interface
- Caching the row level permissions when checking
Using Row Level Permissions
Basic Idea
There are a few things you need to know about row level permissions before working with them:
- Row level permissions use the permissions table to determine an objects possible permissions, you need to create permissions in the permissions table before using them in row level permissions.
- Row level permissions can be negative, this is determined by an attribute called "negative".
- The order of checking permissions will work in the following order: User Row Level Permission -> User Model Level Permission -> Group Row Level Permission -> Group Model Level Permission. The checking will stop either at the first positive or negative, and if no permission is found will return a negative.
Enabling Row Level Permissions
Enabling row level permissions is done by using the Meta class, you enable row level permissions by setting the "row_level_permissions" attribute to true. By default, row level permissions are assumed to be disabled.
Example: To enable row level permissions for the mineral model, the model would look like:
class Mineral(models.Model): name = models.CharField(maxlength=150) hardness = models.PositiveSmallIntegerField() class Admin: pass class Meta: unique_together = (('name', 'hardness'),) row_level_permissions = True def __str__(self): return self.name
Accessing Row Level Permissions from a Model
The relation name for row level permissions from a model is "row_level_permissions", this will return all row level permissions related to the instance of the object. For example, this will return all row level permissions related to the object quartz:
... rlp_list = quartz.row_level_permissions.all() ...
Accessing the Owner and Model of a Row Level Permission
To return the owner of a row level permission use the attribute "owner". For example:
... user = row_level_permission.owner ...
To return the instance of a row level permission use the attribte "model". For example:
... object = row_level_permission.model ...
Developer's note: This will most likely change as I'm not too sure "model" accurately describes what it represents. I will update this page when I make the change.
Creating a Row Level Permission
There are two helper methods to create row level permissions. These can be accessed by using the Row Level Permissions manager (e.g. RowLevelPermission.objects)
The first is create_row_level_permission:
def create_row_level_permission(self, object_instance, owner_instance, permission, negative=False): ...
The permission param can either be the codename of the permission or a permission instance. The negative param is optional and will default to false. You must pass an instance of the object and owner to this method. Developer's Note: I will probably add in another option to allow the permission to be an id as well.
The second is create_default_row_permissions:
def create_default_row_level_permissions(self, object_instance, owner_instance, change=True, delete=True, negChange=False, negDel=False): ...
This will set up a row level permission with the default permissions set up for an object. The default permissions are: add, change and delete. An example of it's use is:
... RowLevelPermissions.objects.create_default_row_level_permissions(quartz, user, delete=False) ...
Checking Permissions
In the next week, GenericAuthorization and row level permissions will be merged. Therefore, I have shown two different methods of checking for permissions, one using the generic authorization and the currently implemented technique.
The current method uses the has_perm method in the User model. Note: The object parameter is optional, this is to allow backwards compatibility.
... user.has_perm("can_mine", object=mineral) ...
This will return either True or False depending on if the user has the correct permission. It will return false if the user has a negative row level permission on the object.
This will also check group row level permissions. If the user is in two groups, the first having a positive row level permission and the second having a negative row level permission, it will take the positive row level permission over the negative.
Second method using GenericAuthorization will be written after the merger
Implementation Notes
Please see RowLevelPermissionsDeveloper for more information on how row level permissions are implemented.
Proposal for Integrating into Administration Interface
Inline Editing
Using the admin interface a user can edit Row Level Permissions (RLP) within the edit screen of a specific instance of a model. It will only be shown if RLPs are enabled for the model.
The RLPs will be organized in a tabular form and using AJAX the user can add, delete or change RLPs related to the instance of the model. The page will also be set up to be backwards compatible incase the user is not able to use JavaScript.
I am undecided as to whether the RLP form should be shown on the add form or not. The first priority is integrating it into the change form and then determine if it is needed in the add form.
There will probably be no capability for editing RLPs like a normal object with an add, change, and list view in the administration interface. There are a few reasons:
- The number of RLPs could be quite high as there could possibly be one for every instance of a model. Editing this through the classic admin interface would be cumbersome.
- Adding/Editing RLPs requires selecting the model, the instance of the model, the owner model and the instance of the owner model and the permissions related to the model. The form needed to do this would be quite elaborate and not very useful.
Row Level Permissions are currently hosted in a branch on Django SVN. Please use: svn co http://code.djangoproject.com/svn/django/branches/per-object-permissions to download the current code.
Ignore the attached files as these are old versions of the row level permissions.

is now only $169.00. It is made of oak, with a glass and metal firebox inserted, which I believe can be replaced, if needed.
The corner flap can fold down so that the unit can be placed flat against a wall. I have one of these in my home and really enjoy it, because the heater is near the floor.
It is great to put a chair beside it and warm your feet. This is very lightweight and can be moved around to any wall in any room, which makes it interesting to decorate with. I have one of these and I like it so much I hope to acquire another one to ward of the chill in another room. Homemakers will love this added luxury to their homes.
(Screw the eye into the wall and the hook into the back of your fireplace unit for safety, to keep it from tipping, if you are concerned about that.)
Moving it around is easy, and I also put screw-in hooks on the back, and a screw-in hook into the wall, so that it will remain stable. I do this to some of my bookcases, too.
Delivery of this item to my door, postage-free, was swift. It seemed that I had just ordered it from the web, and it was there!
Keep the paper-work that comes with this, because it shows you where to call if you need to replace any elements, such as the heating fan, or to get the light to flicker, etc. And, also please be aware that this unit is not really intended to be kept on for hours and hours, as it is only designed to compliment your regular source of heat, such as your central heating system. For the price, it is well worth it to have a real-looking fireplace in your home, if you don't have one, and still want the beauty of a fire without the mess and the smoke!
Here is a white one, all wood, that I've seen personally. Though the heat comes out through the top of the firebox, it is a lovely and useful piece of furniture. I much prefer the other one, but this one comes with a remote control, which is nice. There are others available here which have timers, where you can heat up your bedroom for a few minutes and and it will shut off at a prescribed time.
Another beauty I have begun buying at my local Wal-Mart is this dining chair pad that has a gripper type backing, so that it will not slip off the chair. I like it because it does not have the ties that a lot of chair pads have, which usually tear off under strain. This comes in several shades, and I chose the green, because it is the same shade of sage green that I use a lot in my home.
You do need to be aware of the different dye lots of color that cause the color of the cushions to vary from store to store and from shipment to shipment. Take your old one in and match up the color exactly, or try to buy them all at once. I found that one store had thicker cushions and a brighter green, and another store had thin cushions with a more grey in the green. The cushion also comes in brown, beige, blue and a few other nuetral type colors.
I also like this feature on the back: it is an opening where you can remove the cover and put it in the washing machine. I have avoided buying other cushions because I know that washing them will ruin them, so this was very practical for me.
For years I've had bare dining chairs, which are not very comfortable, and I did so mainly because it ruins most cushions to wash them. I've had upholstered, formal dining chairs too, and they cost a lot to have cleaned. I like this little chair pad, only $7.98, not just because of the cost, but because you can use it on folding chairs, the piano bench, and anything else where you need more comfort. In winter, nothing is worse than sitting on a cold seat. I need about 10 of them so I just put one in the cart every week when I go shopping. That way, it is not a huge expense all at once. Since it is one of their main items that they usually stock, I know it will be there til I get them all collected.
Isn't this great? I hate those ties on other chair cushions. Once they are tied, it is no easy task to put them on another chair or trade them out for a different color.
From cold and bare to comfort:
I bought this chandelier several years ago and was glad to see they still sell them online, including some with shades on them and others that are quite elegant.
Click here to have a look at the lovely Chandeliers
I like this one a lot because all you need is a ceiling hook and it just plugs in to an outlet in the wall. Installing a traditional chandelier requires that someone crawl up in the attic and hook it up, and then it has to have a kind of dome to go around it, so these little portable ones are ideal. If you live in a humble house and never quite thought you could have something like this because of the expense and the trouble, this kind is ideal. I have mine in the corner of my living room, and it can be turned off or on by a little dial click on the chord.
I noticed since I purchased this that there are even prettier ones on that link! Its okay to have one of these in a bedroom, too. You can hang it as low as you like if you loop the chain over two hooks on your ceiling. It is an attachment you can pack up and take with you when you move. So many times there are things people invest in, for their home, and then because it is so built in, they have to leave it in the house. When you buy this fireplace and chandelier, you can set your your next home just like the last home, and feel right at home.
In a little while, I'll post a photograph of my fireplace and show you how I decorated the mantel with some torch style lamps I got at Walmart, and also show you a wall border I just applied to my dining room wall, (Better Homes and Gardens brand from Wal-Mart), and a pre-lit Christmas tree, as well as some pretty, sparkly fabric, all from the same place.
The last time I shopped for groceries at Walmart, I noticed something interesting that was different from some of the other grocery stores. Sometimes I have bought some ingredients and then remembered I needed a measuring cup or a mixing spoon, bowl, cupcake liners, or some accessory. I would have to walk way over to another part of the store to get these things, and sometimes even forgot, on my way over there, what it was I needed. Well, Walmart creates a special place where all the baking ingredients are stacked, and then puts a row of mixers, bowls, measuring spoons, and anything else a cook might need, right there in the same place so you can't miss it. Someone is thinking about these convenient things, and I appreciate it. I never come out of Walmart in a bad mood because after getting the basic things I need, its always fun to see something interesting like that.
One thing I have enjoyed about Walmart from my earliest days as a homemaker, is that it provides things that look good for people who otherwise might not be able to afford a high-end price. I find the fireplaces, lamps, cushions and wallpapers have the same luxury look as many of the places where high income shoppers go.
These lovely candles with shades are just so home-friendly, because the shade sticks on it without wobbling:
The glow comes out the top and bottom of the shade, like a regular lamp, but this one below has little stars that the light shines through, and it is perfect for your red dining table setting:

CIOs' Appreciation of the Cloud Keeps Growing
By Michael Vizard | Posted 12-20-2012
While business executives clearly forced the cloud computing issue, a new global survey of 327 business executives and CIOs conducted by Dimension Research on behalf of Host Analytics, a provider of financial applications in the cloud, finds that CIOs have developed a greater appreciation for the value of cloud computing that goes well beyond costs. CIOs now find that cloud computing helps them not only save money, but also address compliance issues while also achieving a sustainable competitive advantage.

Q about how & where to sell reloading supplies
I inherited a ton of reloading molds, primers, bullets, etc from my grandfather and am wondering what is the best way to go about selling them? Is there a website or anything? Any help would be appreciated?
Also, there is a lot of very old stuff, I guess you could call it vintage? I saw a brick of 22 bullets "Western Xpert"...selling for $70 and I saw box of same sold for $18. N have lots of this type stuff.
Another item is a sealed tin carrier with handle attached that had 600 M-1 .30 cal rounds in it and they are in the green cloth things, with 2 10 round clip things in each pouch... What would that sell for?
Could anyone give me some advice?

Look on GunBroker to see CLOSED auctions - that's what items actually sold for; list locally in your paper or on gun club bulletin boards; reloading equipment can be listed on local Craig's List or newspaper

Note that to sell primers you will have to that with someone that is local. You can not send them in the mail.
Take some pictures of the stuff. Then upload them to photobucket. Copy the IMG code, and pasted to the reply you post on here. Seeing what it is will help us help you lot better.
No matter how many times you do it and nothing happens it only takes something going wrong one time to kill you.

600 M-1 .30 cal rounds
If you list them where Unclinick showed you also note the manufacture and date on the bottom of the case, LC= Lake City. And date should be 2 numbers.
If its pre 50's it might be corrosive primers and they will bring a lot less.
This summer I picked up 600, 30-06 with end block in the same green bag for 60$. All of them were in good shape but the date was 44 and 46.
I will be using for reloading. Pull the bullets. Remove the primers and start over.
It was a sad day when I discovered my universal remote control did not in fact control the universe.
Did you hear about the latest study.....5 out of 6 liberals say that Russian Roulette is safe.

The green cloth carrier is called a bandolier. You said ten round clips? The M1 Garand has 8 round clips called en bloc clips, in which the rounds are in a staggered column. As far as I know, they were always one clip to bandolier pouch. The Springfield '03 used straight clips called stripper clips that held 5 rounds each, and two of those would fit easily in a bandolier. Now there are 10 round stripper clips for 7.62 NATO (.308 Winchester) for stripper clip loading of M14 magazines in situ. There were also 10 round stripper clips for the M1 Carbine which have a sort of flat shovel end that acts as a guide..
If you have the 5 round stripper clips and .30-06 ammunition (individual cartridges about 3 1/3 inches long), and the box says M1, then I would assume it is M1 Ball ammunition which was obsoleted in 1944, when all .30-06 ammunition was corrosively primed. On the other hand, if you have pairs of 10 round clips for the M1 Carbine (individual cartridges about 1 5/8 inches long), that ammunition was always made with non-corrosive primers from the git go, and was the first U.S. military to have non-corrosive primers.

Shipping any type of hazardous material by UPS or Fedex will include a HAZMAT fee of about thirty bucks- so keep that in mind if you're selling other than FTF.
It's the same fee whether it's one box of primers, or dozens of pounds of powder...long as it's one box.
This includes primers, and powders.
Loaded ammunition can be shipped by UPS or Fedex ground without the fee, but label as such. You CANNOT ship any ammunition of hazardous components by USPS.

Check into shipper requirements to ship hazmat materials. You need to be certified in hazmat in order to do this legally. Lots of people say just tell them you're certified and don't worry about it, but if there's an accident involving your hazmat cargo, your butt is on the line both civilly and criminally.

I would try to sell them locally (post a ad on local gun range bulletin board per club rules), Craigslist (not sure about their rules but you can be somewhat obscure), etc. And also list them on this forum's exchange as linked above.
Moulds maybe very sought after if for popular but less commonly available bullet types, or they could be not worth much if dmaged or in poor condition. Are they Aluminum or iron? Clean or rusted? Do you know model number and manufacturer of the moulds? All of that helps determine value.
Bullets can be all over the map in terms of cost. Poorly made home cast bullets may be worth just their melt value, or they could be as good as any new bullet.
I would first inventory everything you have, then search the web and this forum for those model numbers and makes to see if you can determine comparative values for new or similar items.
You may have just a bunch of tired old stuff that will only bring bargain prices or you may have some gems in there. I was cleaning out a bin of stuff someone left at my house and almost put a small hunting knife in my misc knife drawer for who knows when. As I was cleaning it up anyway I noticed it had a makers name on it: R. W. Loveless, Lawndale, CA. I searched on the web about it and was stunned. Turns out it is probably worth at least $4,000. I returned it to the owner and he is pretty excited abut this forgotten knife. You never know what you have until you inventory it and research the items.

Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche (German pronunciation: [ˈfʁiːdʁɪç ˈvɪlhɛlm ˈniːtsʃə]; in English UK: /ˈniːtʃə/, US: /ˈniːtʃi/[1]) (October 15, 1844 – August 25, 1900) was a 19th-century German philosopher and classical philologist. He wrote critical texts on religion, morality, contemporary culture, philosophy and science, displaying a fondness for metaphor, irony and aphorism.
Nietzsche's influence remains substantial within and beyond philosophy, notably in existentialism and postmodernism. His style and radical questioning of the value and objectivity of truth have resulted in much commentary and interpretation, mostly in the continental tradition. His key ideas include the death of God, perspectivism, the Übermensch, the eternal recurrence, and the will to power. Central to his philosophy is the idea of "life-affirmation," which involves an honest questioning of all doctrines that drain life's expansive energies, however socially prevalent those views might be.[2]
Nietzsche began his career as a classical philologist before turning to philosophy. At the age of 24 he was appointed to the Chair of Classical Philology at the University of Basel (the youngest individual to have held this position), but resigned in 1879 due to health problems that plagued him most of his life. In 1889 he became mentally ill, possibly due to atypical general paralysis attributed to tertiary syphilis.[3] He lived his remaining years in the care of his mother until her death in 1897, then under the care of his sister until his death in 1900.

Artist Comments:
Genres of music disappear, merge and begin, pop stars fade into oblivion and rock stars rise like a phoenix, the sounds that feature in our daily lives are forever in a constant state of flux. I find it quite interesting how musicians can essentially rip up their past selves and start all over again. This piece is about starting all over again, mixing up the colors of the sound, destroying the blueprint that has gone before and melting everything down to form a new shape.

Sapphire Pure Fusion Mini E350 APU Mainboard Review
For the longest time when you wanted a low power media board you either had to choose between low performance or high electricity consumption. The first truly low power processor to come on the scene was the Intel Atom CPU. While it had low power consumption, the CPU was very underpowered especially when it came to media and HD playback. After some time, NVIDIA released the ION GPU which when paired with the Atom processor, took some of the load off of the CPU and placed it on the faster GPU allowing for less choppy playback for HD video and light gaming but the platform was still limited by the low power CPU. Next, Intel released the dual core Atom processor to help alleviate the low performance of the original Atom but again it was still hit and miss especially when playing 1080p video on large screens. AMD was sitting back quietly watching and researching their next move to answer the Atom platform and now we have our hands on that answer which is AMD Fusion.
AMD Fusion is the world's first Accelerated Processor Unit or APU as better known which combines a dual core processor, the NorthBridge and a discrete level DirectX 11 GPU fused into a single chip. This allows for full desktop processing with minimal power usage for everyday tasks including HD video playback and light gaming. Sapphire, which is well known for their AMD video cards, has been diving full force into the mainboard sector as well. We recently saw their Pure Black X58 Mainboard which was impressive to say the least. Again they are bringing us a big product with their first Fusion board, the Sapphire Pure Fusion Mini E350 APU Mainboard. This board takes all the goodies that AMD Fusion offers and adds a bit of their own such as USB 3.0 support, integrated Bluetooth and more. If you are as excited as I am to see how this platform performs then let's take a good look at the hardware so we can get on to the testing.
(editor's note: if you're a pilot like me, APU has a completely different meaning :))
Closer Look:
The Sapphire APU Mainboard comes packaged in an esthetically pleasing box. Their choice of the black and red color scheme keeps up with the color design of their graphics cards. On the front of the box is a swarm of logos for things the Pure E350 supports including SATA III, USB 3.0 and of course the AMD Fusion design. On the back of the packaging are lists of more of the supported Fusion features and other elements that Sapphire has added to the board. There is also a small blurb about what Fusion stands for. On the right spine is a list of the specifications for you to consider when choosing this platform for your system.
The Sapphire Pure Fusion Mini E350 comes packed with everything you will need to get your system up and running. Included with the board is the I/O back plate, two SATA III cables, the Driver CD, documentation and even a case sticker for your system case that says "Fueled by Sapphire".
Now that everything is out of the box we can examine the board closer.

Seven of the 30 largest U.S. corporations paid more money to their chief executive officers last year than they paid in U.S. federal income taxes, according to a study released on Tuesday that was disputed by at least one of the companies.
Amid talk in Washington about corporate tax reform, the study said the seven companies, which in 2013 reported more than $74 billion in combined U.S. pre-tax profits, came out ahead on their taxes, gaining $1.9 billion more than they owed.

At the same time, the CEOs at each of the seven companies last year was paid an average of $17.3 million, said the study, compiled by two Washington think tanks.

Once Again, SOPA Supporters Caught 'Copying' Others' Works In An Effort To Shut Down Sites For Copying
from the telling... dept
Just one little tiny problem... there appears to be a fair bit of evidence that Shurtleff "copied" his work from elsewhere and simply "remixed" the work of others. TorrentFreak goes into great detail how many of the statements in the opinion piece supposedly written by Shurtleff, have appeared elsewhere from pro-SOPA folks.
To back up this claim we will highlight a few sentences from the Attorney General's article, and compare them with those previously delivered by the MPAA and affiliated pro-copyright groups.They go on to find lots of other rather complex phrases that show up in both Shurtleff's "new" opinion piece... and lobbying efforts from times past. In fact, the whole thing seems like a classic "remix" -- cutting and pasting lots of works from elsewhere, and creating something "new" out of it. Who knows if this reaches the legal standard for copyright infringement... but it certainly calls into serious question either the legitimacy of the op-ed... or, the competence of Shurtleff. Once again, we think such remixing is good and should be allowed. But it's pretty crazy to argue for laws like SOPA... and do so with what certainly sounds like plagiarized phrases from elsewhere.
The first sentence that caught our attention is: "It will take a strong, sustained effort to stop Internet thieves and profiteers."
Strong words, but also familiar ones. In fact, former MPAA President Bob Pisano uttered exactly the same words in 2010 when he congratulated the Senate Judiciary Committee with unanimously approving the COICA bill, the predecessor to SOPA and PIPA.

2010 Capital Spending Outlook: Pent-Up Demand Causes an Explosion in Projects
After last year's drop in capital expenditures, budgets for the Food Processing Top 100 survey group are up 19 percent for 2010.
With an improving economy and pent-up demand for plant improvements, capital spending in the food & beverage industry this year should be up a whopping 19.3 percent, according to Food Processing research. That comes on the heels of an 8.7 percent decline in actual spending in 2009, the first drop we detected in the five years we've been doing this annual outlook.
Our survey of the 32 public companies in our Top 100© list turned up a total of $13.644 billion in capital expenditures budgeted for 2010, up from the $11.439 billion the same companies actually spent in 2009.
A couple of huge companies accounted for a couple of huge increases – PepsiCo, for instance, raised its industry-leading 2009 outlay by 71 percent to $3.6 billion, and Tyson Foods' budget is up 63 percent. But it's not just a few biggies: of those 32 top companies we track, 24 were budgeting increased capital spending for 2010; only three were forecasting decreases.
The reason for the PepsiCo increase is twofold. "First, we spent less in 2009 than in 2008 or 2007. Second, we completed the mergers with our two largest bottlers, PepsiAmericas and Pepsi Bottling Group, earlier this year and we are a bigger company now -- nearly $60 billion," says a spokesman. "In 2010, we do plan to invest in our business, particularly in the areas that will support growth -- such as fleet, coolers, and SAP. We also have a strong focus on emerging markets."
"A lot of people didn't pull the trigger on big projects last year," says John Gunst, packaging design manager at Power Engineers (www.powereng.com/food), Boise, Idaho. He said his company saw the turnaround coming long before the end of 2009, "and it shows no signs of slowing down."
Our annual report last year at this time foretold the first budgeted decrease in capital expenditures that we had seen. At the time of our report, it was just a 2.9 percent decline. But as the recession deepened, more and more discretionary projects were put on hold. The result was an 8.7 percent decline in actual 2009 spending versus 2008. In fact, 2009 actual spending was 5 percent below what those companies budgeted for the year.
For example, Tyson, which has a fiscal year starting Oct. 1, originally budgeted $600 million for its FY2009, but asked us last April to pencil in a figure of $500 million; the company ultimately spent $368 million.
Fourteen of the companies for which we have a complete set of figures spent less than they budgeted last year; only five spent more.
The first hints of a recovery in food & beverage manufacturing came when we took our annual Manufacturing Trends Survey between Thanksgiving and Christmas; results were in our January issue. Sixty-eight percent of respondents predicted some increase in production this year, and 16 percent foresaw an increase of 20 percent or more. Sixty-six percent expressed optimism coming into the new year. Fifty-five percent of those who knew the figures said their company's capital spending budget would be increasing over 2009 funding. And 60 percent of those familiar with the situation said their plants had deferred important capital projects in 2009 because of the economy.
Despite the fresh memory of the recession, there appears to be a surprising number of greenfield plants on our list this year – and most of those were started during the dark days of 2009. Maybe it was cheap capital or government incentives, but some heroic food & beverage companies continue to build.
Financial incentives played a significant role in ConAgra's decision to build a $155 million plant in Delhi, La. (it's projected to cost $200 million with scheduled upgrades). It will turn local sweet potatoes into foodservice fries for ConAgra's Lamb Weston division.
Louisiana also landed what may be the world's largest sugar refinery, a $120 million joint venture among Imperial Sugar, Cargill and local cooperative Sugar Growers and Refiners Inc. It's being built adjacent to an existing but aging Imperial facility in Gramercy. The project has created 500 construction jobs and should employ 145 when it comes on line in early 2011. It's equally owned by the three partners and was subsidized by federal and state funds to help the region recover from Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.
Coca-Cola Bottling Co. of Shreveport, La., began construction on a $10 million warehouse and distribution center to replace its existing facility there.
Elsewhere, Sara Lee is building a $130 million plant in Kansas City, Mo., to process deli meats for both retail and foodservice under the Hillshire Farm and Sara Lee brands. The 187,000-sq.-ft. facility, which will employ more than 250, should be running in 2011.
With two years of independence under its belt, Dr Pepper Snapple Group is completing its first major capital project, a $120 million bottling and distribution center for the West Coast, in Victorville, Calif. A former Air Force base there is being developed into a distribution hub for a number of companies. The Dr Pepper plant will be 300,000 sq. ft. with 550,000 sq. ft. of warehouse and shipping space.
It may only be an expansion, but it's a big one: Unilever is spending $100 million to enable its Covington, Tenn., plant, which has been producing Slim-Fast products, to make ice cream and frozen novelties (Breyers, Klondike, Good Humor and Popsicle products). The expansion will include the construction of 32,000 sq. ft. of freezer space. Slim-Fast and ice cream in the same plant -- ironic?

1. What goodies BSD 5.0 is going to bring us?
Matt Dillon: There are at least a dozen projects going on in parallel and we have ripped up and replaced a great deal of code all over the kernel. So much so that we recently decided to extend the 5.0 release date another year to give the many projects a chance to get out of development mode and into stabilization mode. Due to this a good chunk of -current's features are also being slowly MFC'd into -stable. Not KSEs or SMPng though. I think Julian's comment in his KSE commit message was something on the order of "X-MFC after: ha ha ha ha" :-)
KSEs and SMPng are the most visible projects (SMPng is being spear-headed by John Baldwin), but we have also done a great deal of work on the network stack, checksum offloading, network drivers (especially GigE drivers), devfs (which is now the default in -current), crypto-quality random number generation, scaleability, and new machine ports. We are actively porting to IA64, PowerPC, and Sparc64, and even though the Alpha is dying away our already-operational (in -stable) alpha port is being actively developed to ensure that our code remains 64 bit clean and to provide ground-breaking work for the other ports.
A good chunk of the work has already been MFCd to stable. For example, -stable can push 900+ MBits (120 MBytes/sec 'netstat -in 1') over a TCP connection on a DELL2550 with GigE using *normal* sized frames (mtu 1500). That's full saturation.
A great deal of filesystem work has also been completed. Filesystem snapshot support (for UFS+Softupdates) is progressing nicely and may prove to be one of the most important new filesystem features in the 5.x system once it stabilizes. There are also two new native features in UFS that have stabilized and have in fact been MFCd to -stable: dirpref and dirhash. dirpref comes directly from Grigoriy Orlov of OpenBSD and reworks the way directories are layed-out on disk, resulting in huge directory and file stat/open/create/remove performance gains. Some filesystem operations have improved by over 60x (6000%), and many of the common ones have improved over 400%. dirhash is a very low-overhead in-kernel whole-directory hashing mechanism that radically improves the performance of directory operations.
There is much more. Some things, like dirhash and dirpref, can be easily MFC'd to -stable. Others, such as softupdate's snapshot support, probably won't be due to major dependancies on other current-only projects.
2. Which is the one feature that you would like most to add to the BSD kernel?
Matt Dillon: I would like to see a native process and device-level descriptor migration capability. This isn't a new idea (few ideas in computer architecture can ever be called 'new'), but it is an idea whos time has come. I would like to see an ability to migrate processes as well as their device-level state and couple that with external rerouting. So an I/O descriptor representing a TCP connection could be migrated entirely off the original machine, for example.
Process migration is a good basis to support Q.O.S. and maintainance issues on todays platforms. As computing hardware becomes more powerful and we run more services (and more connections, and more users) on any given box, the ability to migrate everything off a box in order to take it down for maintainance without users noticing that you are doing it has become the ultimate IT grail. The reason is simple: if you use a modern machine to its fullest potential and the system crashes, you are potentially interrupting thousands of users rather then simply dozens. The concept of the 'maintainance-window' introduces the same problem, even with load balancing and connection management and distribution technologies. The 'maintainance-window' concept is rapidly becoming unacceptable in today's full-on world.
In short, process migration would allow the open-source community to begin to provide Q.O.S. levels that only mainframes can provide today. And if you didn't hear me mention so-called 'clustering' solutions currently available from unnamed vendors, it's because they can't actually deliver these things -- not true Q.O.S. That's my opinion, anyway. Using a cluster to hide the fact that the underlying systems crash regularly is an extremely dangerous way to manage a computing environment.
I'm going to cheat a bit and also give you my #2 feature-wish: I want native filesystem replication. I don't care a whit about common server-based disk store: you don't get reliability or scaleability that way. I want to see distributed (replicated, not partitioned) filesystems that are transactionally coherent, to go along with the process-migration of course :-)

The services of good recruitment agencies can save businesses time and money, as well as ensure that job hunters find the right position as quickly as possible. However, recruitment agencies do much more than simply match candidates to vacancies. Most agencies (who are also referred to as Employment Agencies or Job Agencies) focus their efforts on a small number of industries and specific geographic area, so develop genuine expertise in their market. Both employers and people looking for new jobs can expect the consultant they deal with to offer accurate salary advice and have the right contacts in the sector.
There are many benefits to candidates of dealing with recruitment consultants, including saving time and having someone to negotiate their salary package. Agencies also usually have a selection of unadvertised vacancies that job hunters can gain access to when they register. Time is a major motivation for companies to use recruitment agencies, as a consultant will only put forward shortlists of staff with the right skills and experience. As agencies have relationships with a wide range of candidates, including some they have worked with for a number of years, they can also make sure interviewees are a good cultural fit for the organisation. When working on permanent jobs, agencies usually only charge if they fill the vacancy, so this is a low-risk way to recruit workers. Even if they do not earn a fee, agencies will complete the task of informing unsuccessful candidates and pass on feedback from interviews. Employment agencies are also an effective way to fill temporary positions and not only because they can supply experienced, reference-checked staff with the right skills. They can also take care of all payroll issues, including holiday pay.
In short, using a recruitment agency is the right choice for businesses that need to find the best staff and jobseekers who want to secure their ideal position in the shortest possible time.

Thread: The "New" Diet Mountain Dew

I just found this forum because I wanted to get something off my chest.
A couple days ago I bought a 24 pack of Diet Mountain Dew (Yes, I am addicted). I chilled the pack and cracked open the first can, what a suprise, it tasted like someone added a disinfectant to the mix. I promptly poured it down the drain. Then I opened another, tasted the same....really bad!
While quickly scanning the can for some reason for the odd taste I discover the words emblazened on the side of the can, "Tuned up taste". WHAT! NO! They didn't screw with my Dew! I quickly ran to a local gas station to check for old stock and found my fix. Drove home and popped open a warm one, ahhhhhhh, there it was, the old taste was back.
I called the number on the can today and a very curtious lady listened to my complaint, she had no hesitation in her voice at all as she told me the sweetener formula had been changed to include Splenda and she would be more than happy to send me a coupon for a new case.
Has anyone else encountered this?
I am in Northwest Indiana and I am sure the new stuff will be spreading quickly.
So sorry for a first post being a long rant but I am hooked on the stuff and don't want to see this happen to a good product.
Well because the taste was always complained about Diet Dew got reformulated. It also didn't help that Vault and Vault Zero just came out to compete against it. Stock up as much as you can because they're not going to go back to the old formula. Either that or try some Diet Mello Yello, if its even there, or some Vault Zero and see if you like it or not. Or else, get use to the new taste.Feed the rush!
It's amazing how diet soda fans literally get hooked on aspertame. While the general soda fanbase and beverage industry believe it's a good idea to move to artificial sweeteners that have less of an aftertaste and are less bitter, hardcore fans hold on to it for dear life.
This is why sodas like Coke Zero and Pepsi One do ok, but they will never wean their hardcore users off of Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi unless they disappear, because they're hooked on the bitter taste, I guess.
So, sorry about your Diet Dew being gone, but it is. Many people will see this change as good, but the Diet Dew purists are going to be very unhappy.
[ 02-27-2006, 10:09 PM: Message edited by: SnappleElementsVenom ]
It was inevitable that someone wouldn't like the new formula. Me, I welcome the new formula with open arms, as I think the old Diet Dew was perhaps the worst diet soda made by the "Big Three" companies. The new one tastes a lot closer to regular Dew, IMHO. But I guess I can feel for people losing a product they love.
BTW, aspartame is still the primary sweetener in the new Diet Dew.
The new Diet Mountain Dew by definition will be better, it has to be or else.LOL

i just tried teh new diet dew.. it tastes much more like regular dew now... old diet dew was pretty horrible.
I hope they have it in single bottles so I can taste it. (Maybe I can find a 2ltr?)

Apparently instead it tastes like "disinfectant". But in my opinion, disinfectant is better than the old Diet Dew.

STEPS ALONG THE PAPERLESS PATH - Keys to a Successful Scanning Implementation
STEPS ALONG THE PAPERLESS PATH - Keys to a Successful Scanning Implementation
Law firms of all sizes are moving toward a more paperless environment. In addition to it being "green" and affording the firm cost savings, the move makes information easily retrievable by all users—if, that is, documents are stored electronically on a centralized data server, which means scanning all incoming paper.
Scanning is an essential component of the paperless office, since it allows you to convert the doubtless large quantity of daily communication and evidence that your firm still receives in paper format. The following tips will help you implement a functional scanning work flow in your office. It all comes down to addressing some basic questions.
What Will Be Scanned?
Begin by establishing an internal procedure that is realistic given your resources. Will all inbound documents be scanned, including all mail, document productions, papers provided by your clients and so forth? If it is unreasonable to scan everything, then determine what is most critical.
You must assign one or more staff members to physically scan the documents, and then store and route them to the appropriate users for review. Make sure that there are formal written procedures for staff to follow so that all documents are handled and saved consistently. You must also address what happens to original paper documents. For example, will you keep pleadings or signed original documents in the file, forward some types of documents to clients, and shred other types?
Your firm's outbound documents will rarely need to be scanned, since these days most are generated electronically. However, there should be consistency in how and where internally generated documents are saved within your file storage system, so they can be quickly found and retrieved.
What Hardware Will Be Needed?
There are really two key questions here: (1) What type of scanner do you need, and (2) what features should it have? Consider the following to answer both questions.
▪ Volume. What is the estimated daily volume of paper you believe will be scanned? All scanners have a "duty cycle" that indicates the maximum number of scans they can realistically process. For instance, the Fujitsu ScanSnap is an excellent desktop scanner product with a duty cycle of about 750 pages per day. In contrast, a small Canon ImageRunner digital document center can easily scan 4,000-plus pages per day. Will the daily volume of documents being scanned justify one or more digital document centers, or will desktop scanners suffice? If your copiers are near the end of their life cycle anyway, then a digital document center may be your best bet. If not, and your volume is fairly low, one or more decent desktop scanners may be the best value.
▪ Speed. Scanner speed is measured in pages per minute (ppm). It requires more staff time to scan documents on a slower scanner. Faster scanners will require less staff time, but they are more expensive to purchase. Once you determine the average volume of paper you will process per day, calculate the amount of time it will take to scan that volume using different ppm rates and determine what speed you feel to be the best value, given your anticipated scanning volume and staff resources.
▪ Features. Which of the typically available scanner features will be important for the scanning that you will need to do? For example, will you need double-sided scanning, color scanning or oversized-document scanning? Would the ability to scan to file, to e-mail or to a document management system right from the scanner make a significant difference in your staff's efficiency (i.e., make the scanning process much faster)?
▪ Other Hardware Requirements. It's easy to remember the scanner, but what about storage space for all those electronic documents? Think about the volume you will be scanning to ensure you have sufficient hard drive space on your server. For larger volumes you may need to purchase a network-attached storage device (NAS). Likewise, it's critical to back up all of your documents, so be sure you have the necessary hardware (such as external hard drives) to accomplish proper redundancy.
What Software Will Be Needed?
To make the most of your scanned documents, you need more than a simple image or picture of each page. The full text of the documents must be searchable. You may also want to convert some of your scanned documents to word processing format so you can use the content in them in other documents. Having the right software is the key to these and many other scanning-related tasks. Ask yourself which components are critical, and when budgeting factor in software as well as hardware.
▪ Searchable PDF. This is one of the most commonly used formats in paperless offices. Searchable PDFs contain both an image of the document and the text in it. This is a must so that you can find your documents quickly after they are scanned. Some scanners have searchable PDF functionality built in, while others require a separate purchase of additional software. Most digital document centers are capable of creating searchable PDFs—however, it may require buying an add-on module. Ask your equipment vendor if this functionality is included in the hardware you're purchasing. If your scanner doesn't have it built in, you can use a product like OmniPage or Adobe Acrobat.
▪ OCR Capability. Optical character recognition (OCR) lets you convert scanned documents from an image-only format to a format that also includes the text of the document (like searchable PDF). OCR does this by recognizing and converting each character in an image of a scanned page and adding the converted text as data to the image file. Popular OCR programs include OmniPage, Abbyy Finereader and Readiris.
▪ Redaction and Markup Features. Some software products allow for manipulation of scanned images, including the ability to redact (black out or obscure select parts on some pages) and mark up the images (add annotations or comments). Adobe Acrobat and Nuance's PaperPort are worthy examples.
▪ Bates Numbering. If you reproduce scanned images with discovery responses or as exhibits, Bates numbering may be important. Bates numbers are universal sequential numbers added to a collection of documents from different sources. They make referencing a specific page within a large collection of documents very easy. Summation and Adobe Acrobat can add Bates numbers to documents. However, be aware that Acrobat has a security deficiency that may allow others to edit your Bates numbers if you are not careful.
▪ Backup Software. Backing up electronic files is critical. If your paper files are gone (as in shredded, sent to the client or otherwise) and you also lose your electronic files, you may have a disaster on your hands. Always have at least one (if not two) backup redundancies in operation. The bonus with scanned documents: It's a lot easier to back up a hard drive full of information than it is to back up a room full of files.
Where and How Will All Documents Be Stored and Retrieved?
If you're serious about storing all documents electronically, then it is highly recommended that you look into a document management system (DMS). Not only will a DMS organize your documents in a very logical fashion, but it will also force consistency among your users. That means that users cannot circumvent the DMS to store documents outside of the appropriate file structure, and documents are automatically filed based on the information a user "profiles" in a document (such as client, matter, area of practice, author, document type and so forth).
In addition, a DMS will index all documents so that you may find them within seconds. Assuming that the documents are saved as searchable PDFs or in other text-searchable formats (such as word processing documents, spreadsheets or the like), it will also allow you to conduct full-text searches on the documents. Many DMS packages, such as Worldox and Interwoven, can also integrate with legal case management software programs for added flexibility and accessibility.
Should you opt to make do without a DMS, your firm needs to establish a formal procedure for file saving—and enforce it. This procedure should specify how to properly store documents in a logical, consistent file structure, with the appropriate nomenclature for everyone to use. One such naming convention may be to put the date at the beginning of the file name (for example, 2009-03-14 – Letter to Clerk filing Motion to Compel). This allows files to be sorted by title and remain in chronological order.
If you are not using a true DMS, there are a variety of search tools that you can install to aid in searching for documents. Some are even free, such as Copernic or Google Desktop.
While it may not be possible to eliminate all paper from your office, it is completely realistic to shoot for a reduced paper environment. Scanning offers many advantages, such as faster access to your documents, reduced physical storage costs and ease of searching. Just be sure to think about all of the preceding elements and plan carefully before taking the plunge.

Yes..pink and green..pink and cream..
Ahh..et ton aquarelle.. :)did you know there is a station on Syrius..Watrecolors? i thought of you:)
LOVE this post. I love pink if you hadnt noticed... :)) Its a happy color. Your painting is wonderful and that second photos of the Roses is GORGEOUS!!ReplyDelete
Oh that little girl with the pink satchel is such a fab shot!ReplyDelete
(Closely followed by the pink Vespa - this has just become my fantasy transport around Paris!)
Monique/Nana: I don't think I own anything pink nor have I ever worn it..why is that?ReplyDelete

D3hoops.com spoke with Birmingham-Southern president David Pollick by phone Friday evening, shortly after the decision to pursue Division III membership was announced. Pollick, who was president at Division III Lebanon Valley, has been president at Birmingham-Southern for two years.
D3: What were your impressions of BSC as a Division I school?
DP: Probably the best Division I program I've ever seen in terms of integrity, quality of coaches, athletic director, quality of performance, simply superb. It graduates student-athletes at a higher level than the rest of the student body. We have a very strong academic profile so all of our kids are graduating at a very high rate, with very strong GPAs, but the athletes fit right into that profile. There was no deviation at all.
D3: It sounds an awful lot like a Division III school.
DP: The college itself matches that profile, we're 1,300-plus students, a Phi Beta Kappa institution, we look like the ones you're familiar with, the Gettysburgs, Dickinsons, F&Ms, from Pennsylvania, and from here, Sewanee, Rhodes, Trinity, Austin College and Southwestern.
D3: It's probably no coincidence that you just named five members of the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference.
DP: Clearly that would be the conference that we're considering most and hope that they consider us. They're the strongest academic Division III conference in the region, aside from the one with Emory, Chicago, the research schools.
D3: Did you consider any other classification for Birmingham-Southern?
DP: No. We had no interest in looking at Division II. We're looking at that which complements our academic profile and we believe that amateur athletics is where institutions ought to be finding themselves.
D3: Are you saying D-I doesn't qualify as amateur athletics?
DP: You have to begin with the notion that you're paying people to compete in athletics. They're getting (a scholarship) because they're an athlete. By definition when you're paying someone money you're moving into a professional role.
D3: You have more than 100 scholarships. How will that money be redistributed?
DP: We have a total of 116 scholarships, 44 are full ride. The remaining 72 can be distributed over a greater number of students than 72, which is how we get to a total of 200 athletes. The discount rate is enormously high when it's 100% of tuition. We will go down to comparable discount rates with the rest of our student body. Those resources we save: 1) will be just saving, and 2) will be money available to recruit students of diversity. We want to look at more need dollars for students.
D3: One of the criticisms, in fact, is that you would be losing diversity in terms of international students.
DP: We currently have 44 international or minority students in our athletics program. I'm willing to provide the need money for a student. You can diversify if you're willing to put the resources behind it.
D3: What message would you send to your current student-athletes?
DP: The honest message is we remain absolutely committed to athletics on this campus, but we have to make sure we are serving our mission in the best way possible. All the students that are on scholarships now will have them until they graduate. The only question in their mind if they must play D-I athletics over D-III. The athlete that competes, regardless of level, always sees it as the most important. But this is the opportunity to be one of the best Division III programs in the United States.
D3: How about the coaches?
DP: The coaches, of course, they want to be D-I, that's what they want to be. They are all under contracts – we will honor those, and we hope they stay with us. We certainly want them here. The board decided this today, we have many, many alums that are supportive, that believe this is what we should be. Keep in mind this is only a seven-year institution in Division I, there are not many alumni from us as a Division I school.
D3: What's the timeframe for adding football?
DP: That depends how our discussions goes with the SCAC. We have to apply to the SCAC, we are not in it automatically by any means. In that process we'll be talking about our calendar for transition and the role football will play on campus.
D3: When you got to Birmingham-Southern, were you intending to take them to Division III?
DP: It was resolved during the search process. I think every president that was a finalist asked a question: How did you get here? Being the smallest school in Division I, it looked odd. I accepted that we were here and did not make plans not to be in Division I. The board asked about use of resources and whether Division I was the right place for us. I didn't come with that agenda in mind.
D3: What Division III athletic program would you most hope Birmingham-Southern emulates once you've settled in?
DP: I don't know the inner working of everyone's athletic department to tell you. I can't tell you whether a Swarthmore or a Dickinson, I just don't know them well enough. I can only tell you about the schools I've been at. I was at SUNY-Cortland, St. John's (Minn.) and Lebanon Valley, so I know those programs. They were all strong programs.
D3: Have you kept up with developments in financial aid in Division III since you left Lebanon Valley?
DP: I continue to watch that. That's been a long discussion in Division III and it's only gotten stronger in how it's gone on, how you maintain a level field in Division III. I've watched the discussions, I'm aware of the potential moratorium on growth, which is coming more to a head in Division III. I think it's something colleges have to address and the NCAA has to address. We need to go back to the notion that sports is a fantastic activity that contributes to the maturity of our students, but not let the tail wag the dog.
Presidents have been rising up on this over the years and I'm sure it will continue.


text: I have no first-hand knowledge of these towers, but I am currently working with an experienced aluminum welder (military aircraft) on a tower project. Presuming arguendo this is not a "buttering" problem (cold weld with no penetration) it sounds as if the completed units are not heat-treated to bring them back to the original tensile strength. An example- I asked my welder friend about the practicability of welding a center-sleeve of 1 1/2" OD 1/4" wall aluminim tube into a 2" OD 1/4" wall tube so I could have a travel mast with two 8 foot sections that would silde together & bolt on just one side. He told me the tube stength would be compromised unless the welded portion was "baked" at the appropriate temp for 24-36 hours, and that in his shop (a gov't facility with top of the line gear) the "oven" can only fit 3ft long objects. To wit: "In some applications it is better to just use hardware and this is one of them". Why do I get the impression that the critical welded areas of these towers are not re-heat-treated?

The industrial revolution transformed the productive power of societies. It did so by vastly increasing the individual productivity, thus delivering whole populations from poverty. In this new account by one of the world's acknowledged authorities the central issue is not simply how the revolution began but still more why it did not quickly end. The answer lay in the use of a new source of energy. Pre-industrial societies had access only to very limited energy supplies. As long as mechanical energy came principally from human or animal muscle and heat energy from wood, the maximum attainable level of productivity was bound to be low. Exploitation of a new source of energy in the form of coal provided an escape route from the constraints of an organic economy but also brought novel dangers. Since this happened first in England, its experience has a special fascination, though other countries rapidly followed suit.Read more
- Provides information in a clear and accessible way and does not assume either extensive prior knowledge or command of specialist techniques
- Questions addressed are fundamental to the understanding of the industrial revolution and provide an insight into the origins of the modern world
- A new way of viewing the industrial revolution, examining how growth continued rather than just how it began
Reviews & endorsements
"This book has changed the way I see the world. Smart, engaging and beautifully-written, Wrigley's study of the Industrial Revolution casts a fascinating light on current energy questions. If you want to understand how our dependency on fossil fuels began and what we might do to escape it, you must read this book." -George MonbiotSee more reviews
"Here, Tony Wrigley develops the central themes that have characterized his distinctive contribution to the economic transformation of England. There is no better account of the role that the energy revolution played in the escape from the constraints of the Malthusian pre-industrial economy". -Nicholas Crafts, University of Warwick.
"Tony Wrigley is one of the true Grand Men of the economic history profession. In this book he analyzes in depth the role of energy supplies in the emergence of modern economic growth and thus strikes a fascinating and most timely link between economic history and contemporary issues of energy and environment. Energy economics are of central importance to any study of economic change, especially when supported by the breadth of the learning underlying this book." -Joel Mokyr, Northwestern University
"Whether wind or solar power can ever provide the energy needed in an increasingly energy-conscious and insecure world is debatable but this excellent book provides a historical perspective that is either ignored or given little credence in contemporary debates of considerable subtlety and relevance. This is a book not to be ignored." -The Historical Association
"an accessible and comprehensive guide to his interpretation of the industrial revolution. It offers at once a clear and compelling argument for the centrality of energy in the historical rise of industrial societies and an opportunity to meditate on the future sustainability of an economic order founded on fossil fuels." -Jan de Vries, Economic History Review
"an often brilliant and always perceptive presentation of some of the key conclusions from every decade of his half-century of academic research to date." - Michael Anderson, Population Studies

New Car Review
2013 Aston Martin V8 Vantage: Overview
Pros: A less-expensive way to enter the world of Aston ownership; Stunning exhaust note, whether inside or out; Vastly improved interior materials compared to early; Vantage models; Handsome, timeless design will always turn heads; Manual transmission still offered for purists
Cons: No rear seat - not that you'd use it; Though it's a cheaper Aston, it's still expensive
What's new: The 2013 Aston Martin V8 Vantage is mostly unchanged. For 2012, the V8 Vantage got a new transmission, revised styling and upgraded brakes.
Despite its six-figure base price, the V8 Vantage is Aston's entry-level model. Initially released for 2006, the V8 Vantage lineup has grown since its debut. Today, it offers two body styles: a coupe and a soft-top convertible called the Roadster. A high-performance V8 Vantage S, which also comes in coupe or Roadster guise, joined the lineup for 2011. The high-performance V12 Vantage tops the model's range.
Base-level V8 Vantage models use a 420-horsepower 4.7-liter V8. A six-speed manual is standard, while a seven-speed automatic is optional. The V8 Vantage S only offers the seven-speed automatic, and boasts a slightly stronger 430 hp. V8 Vantage S models also include a sportier exhaust note, wider tires and styling revisions. Drivers who step up to the V12 Vantage get 510 horsepower.
Pricing for the 2013 Aston Martin V8 Vantage starts around $122,000, while Roadster models add around $14,000 to that figure. The high-performance V8 Vantage S commands a $137,000 starting price. The V8 Vantage S Roadster starts around $151,000.

This group is designed to explore the ways in which social media and technology can help bring arts and culture to the masses. "Democratizing" the arts has been a long-standing goal in the art world, and no medium makes it more feasible than the web.
The purpose of this meetup is to bring together those working at the intersection of arts and technology to share ideas, strategies, successes, challenges and failures, and to explore the following questions:
- How can the new technology available help raise awareness about the arts and enrich the audience experience?
- How can cultural institutions interact and engage with each other and their audience in meaningful ways?
- What can they learn from their audience and how can they use this knowledge to improve the way in which they present their content?
- As well as countless others that we hope to uncover at future meetups!

(BPT) – When Martha Saly, director of the National Viral Hepatitis Roundtable (NVHR), learned she had hepatitis C, a virus that attacks the liver, she was in disbelief. Saly never suspected she might be infected with the hepatitis C virus, and unfortunately, cases like Saly's are not uncommon.
In fact, 3.2 million Americans are living with hepatitis C, and most do not know they are infected. That's why the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recently released hepatitis C screening recommendations calling for all adults born from 1945 through 1965, also known as baby boomers, to get tested for hepatitis C.
"This test can mean the difference between life and death – it did for me," says Saly. "You can live with hepatitis C for decades without feeling sick, but liver damage can occur silently during this time, which can lead to more serious problems such as cirrhosis and liver cancer."
Saly knows firsthand the importance of testing baby boomers for hepatitis C and offers five reasons why CDC's new hepatitis C testing recommendations matter to you:
1. Anyone can get hepatitis C
Millions of Americans have hepatitis C and many of them don't know how or when they were infected. People born from 1945 through 1965 are five times more likely than other adults to be infected with hepatitis C and account for more than 75 percent of all American adults living with the disease.
2. Don't assume you've been tested
"More than a decade ago, I was fortunate to have a proactive doctor who tested me for hepatitis C, but that wasn't the norm then and unfortunately hepatitis C is still not typically included in routine blood tests," says Saly. The CDC's recommendations aim to address this silent epidemic by recommending people in this age group get tested.
3. It's a one-time test that will ease your mind
For more than 95 percent of boomers, the simple hepatitis C blood test is followed by reassuring news. But for the people who are infected, the test and resulting treatment could mean the difference between life and death. "Knowing whether or not you have hepatitis C can help you make important decisions about your health," says Saly.
4. Treatments are available
For those who find out they have hepatitis C, medicines are available that can effectively treat up to 75 percent of infections and additional, promising treatments are currently in development. "Treatments for hepatitis C can delay or even reverse the effects of liver damage and in some cases can eliminate the virus from the body," says Saly.
5. This test could save your life
"It saved mine," says Saly. "I was very lucky to be tested, treated and cured 12 years ago. But for every person like me, there are three people with hepatitis C out there who don't know they have it." These testing recommendations from CDC could help identify an estimated 800,000 people with hepatitis C and save tens of thousands. "Baby boomers need to talk to their doctor about getting tested for hepatitis C," says Saly. "It's a no brainer."
To learn more about hepatitis C go to www.nvhr.org and visit the CDC's Know More Hepatitis campaign website: www.cdc.gov/knowmorehepatitis.

Haider Ackermann
Haider Ackermann's collection, shown in almost monastic silence, managed to make nothing new at all seem very exciting indeed. This was again his vision of a modern - even futuristic - nomadic woman, transcending boundaries of nationality, era and even gender with her clothing. The models had an odd air of Tilda Swinton, perhaps as Orlando in the meshing of male and female into a form of androgyny which managed to throw up a different slant on the old boy-girl shtick. The extremely attenuated angular silhouettes were emphasised by high shoes and severely pinned-back hair, but the layering of fabrics and touches of luxury in tautly draped meshes and wafting, almost aquatic ostrich feather fronds gave a distinctly delicate, feminine touch. And the fabrics were extraordinary - translucent films veiling otherwise opaque-wrapped forms.
