The Triumph Thunderbird Commander and Thunderbird LT share an underlying chassis and are powered by the same massively torquey 1699cc parallel twin engine, but they're two very different breeds of muscle cruiser. The Thunderbird Commander has the essential power-cruiser style and broad, dynamic riding stance to utterly dominate any road and ride. Meanwhile the Triumph Thunderbird LT is loaded with the easy-going, laid-back vibe of a premium classic touring cruiser, as well as a host of long-distance accessories.
The Triumph Thunderbird engines look every cubic inch a classic cruiser motor, designed with Triumph's unique, big-bore parallel twin twist. But don't be fooled by the air-cooling fins. Because inside is a modern, high-performance, water-cooled power plant with sophisticated electronic fuel injection and engine management, built with Triumph's cutting-edge quality and durability.
With forged pistons the size of saucers, the Thunderbird's 1597cc, Thunderbird Storm, Commander and Thunderbird LT's 1699cc, eight-valve, water-cooled parallel twin is engineered with a 270° firing interval for a chunky, charismatic power delivery. Twin balance shafts soothe low frequency vibes, allowing the Thunderbird's pulsating torque to be felt across the rev range.
At a colossal 1699cc, the world's largest parallel twin engine powering the Triumph Thunderbird Commander and Thunderbird LT packs a mighty big punch, pounding out a remarkable 94PS and truly staggering 151Nm at 3550rpm. This barn-storming low down performance makes it the perfect engine for anything from effortlessly relaxed cruising across entire continents on the Thunderbird LT to cutting a domineering dash along today's roads on the Thunderbird Commander. But with phenomenal overtaking power always on tap whichever gear you're in, your Thunderbird is never found wanting.
The 1597cc Triumph Thunderbird motor thumps out a fulsome 86PS, but the real story is a whopping 146Nm of peak torque at a mere 2750rpm. Meanwhile the 1699cc Thunderbird Storm engine raises the bar even higher to 98PS and a simply colossal 156Nm of torque. It means both Thunderbird and Thunderbird Storm's low down power deliveries are specifically engineered to suit their chilled-out cruising vibe, but both bikes also come fully armed with serious performance under the tank to lay down the law when action is called for.
The Triumph Thunderbird's smooth, six-speed gear ratios deliver every ounce of the engine's torque-rich performance, from the intense thrust of first gear right the way to an overdrive top gear for relaxed cruising and exceptional fuel efficiency. But with phenomenal overtaking power always on tap whichever gear you're in, the Thunderbird is never found wanting.
The Triumph Thunderbird belt drive, with carbon fibre in the belt and a tungsten carbide treatment on the rear pulley, has a higher tensile strength than steel and ensures snatch-free transmission with high durability and almost no maintenance compared to chain-drive. And it doesn't need oiling.
The Triumph Thunderbird's dynamic engine demands an equally dynamic chassis with handling developed as a priority, not an afterthought. As a result, all Thunderbirds can supply relatively high levels of agility, control and precision usually unheard of in a cruiser, with plenty of ground clearance for when the ride gets interesting.
Stylish on the outside, modern on the inside. The Triumph Thunderbirds feature chunky 47mm Showa forks with 120mm of travel. set-up and carefully matched to a pair of five-way preload adjustable shocks at the rear, with 109mm (LT & Commander) and 95mm (Thunderbird & Thunderbird Storm) of travel giving the right dynamic for everything from spirited solo riding to two up touring.
The Triumph Thunderbird frame is built with a massively strong twin steel tube spine layout that utilises the engine as a strengthening factor, with optimised geometry to maintain user-friendly steering. But the frame also shows off the Thunderbird's stunning parallel twin as the bike's design focal point.
To match the Triumph Thunderbird Commander's dominant presence on the road, yet retain its agile, user-friendly handling characteristics, a dramatic, fat-section 140/75 17in front tyre is fitted with a 200/50 17in at the rear, running on lightweight diamond-turned cast wheels. Meanwhile the Thunderbird LT features the world's first white-walled radial tyres, developed exclusively for Triumph by British tyre manufacturer Avon. With a fat-section 150/80 16in front and 180/70 16in rear on stunning 56-spoke wire rims, they're the ultimate in laid-back cruiser cool.
For guaranteed confidence leaning over in the corners, and to complement the Triumph Thunderbird and Thunderbird Storm's remarkable combination of low-down, cruiser style and easy, neutral handling, a pair of specially developed 120/70 front and wide-section, low-profile 200/50 Metzeler Marathon tyres are fitted to lightweight, five-spoke cast alloy 19in front and 17in rear wheels. The result is a no-compromise level of grip and feedback.
The Triumph Thunderbird delivers awesome engine performance. That's why outstanding handling, in all situations and for all riders, is called for. The bikes are carefully developed to bring Triumph's trademark light, neutral steering, easy low speed agility, and high stability and user-friendliness to the big cruiser class. High performance braking is also of prime importance, using twin Nissin four-piston calipers on 310mm discs at the front and a Brembo caliper and 310mm disc at the rear, backed up by sophisticated ABS.
The Thunderbird Commander instantly lives up to its name as soon as you get on. Wide, swept-back bars brace you against the world, forward-placed running boards and a low, deeply padded seat with double-layer, triple-density seat foam, settle you into a tough, yet laid-back, groove. If feels like you're ready to take on the world – and win. The Thunderbird LT has the same footboards and deeply padded seat, but its high, pulled-back cow horn bars give a more steady, touring feel to its riding position. It feels like you're ready to ride round the world – and win.
Being in control and being seen to be in control are what counts on the Triumph Thunderbird and Thunderbird Storm. With forward footrests, double-foam low seat, and wide, pulled-back bars for a spacious riding position, they're perfect for a quick Sunday spin, or comfortable on long trips, even two-up.
Style matters, which is why the Triumph Thunderbirds stir emotions visually as well as on the road. From mechanical highlights like machined cooling fins, chrome covers and careful exhaust routing, to the aesthetics of diamond-turned cast wheels or wire spokes, deep fenders, hand-painted coach lines and lustrous body-colours, each Thunderbird is built with the quality and detailing you'd expect of a prestige Triumph cruiser. So whether you prefer the LT's classic touring cruiser stance or the clean, elegant style of the Thunderbird Commander, you know your bike looks as good to everyone else as it does to you.
Make your riding position fit you with a pair of Triumph accessory footboards. The chromed tear drop rider footboards come with either plain rubber mats or with chrome line detailing, and are available for either rider and/or passenger comfort.(Image shows Thunderbird Commander foot board)
For added day-to-day convenience or solo longer trips, a high gloss, hand polished, multi-layer chrome plated luggage rack, fabricated from steel tubing, fits to the rear of the Triumph Thunderbird and Thunderbird Storm (when the pillion seat is removed).
Made from high quality, hand polished, triple-layer chrome plated tubular steel, engine dresser bars are available for the Thunderbird family both to enhance and offer maximum protection for your engine or the rear of your Thunderbird. Supplied complete with all mounting hardware.
Longer trips on the Triumph Thunderbird Commander will benefit from a pair of sumptuous, genuine leather, top-loading panniers with ample 52-litre capacity. Includes chrome plated, Triumph-branded buckles and hidden snap clips for ease of use.
Covered with premium luxury Sky Renna fabric and with distinctive stitching detail, the long-haul rider seat delivers exceptional comfort over any distance. Designed to be installed together with the pillion comfort seat. (Image shows Thunderbird Commander Seat)
Available in long or short design, the High Flow silencer kit includes slash cut, tapered, triple-plated chrome silencers with improved gas flow for enhanced engine performance and a deeper exhaust note. Supplied with gaskets and replacement heat shield covers. Requires specific calibration to guarantee optimum performance. Off-road use only. (Image shows Thunderbird LT Silencer kit)
La Thunderbird Storm abandonne le chrome et dévoile sa face la plus sombre, armée de son imposant moteur de 1700 cm³.
Conçue à partir de la Thunderbird, la Storm se démarque de sa grande sœur par son aspect plus trapu, sombre et minimaliste et son couple ahurissant, qui ne manqueront pas de laisser leur empreinte sur la route.
Nous avons réussi à ajouter 102 cm³ à son emblématique moteur bicylindre parallèle. Remarquablement maniable et couvant une puissance effroyable, cette tornade noire n'hésite pas à secouer le monde tranquille des cruisers.
Le Thunderbird Commander domine la route avec son moteur puissant et prêt à en découdre, son châssis sophistiqué, sa position de conduite confortable et son style charismatique.
Basé sur le Thunderbird original, le Commander attire même l'attention des profanes grâce à son style de cruiser authentique, son allure élégante et le son de son moteur, le bicylindre parallèle à la plus grosse cylindrée au monde.
Car il s'agit avant tout d'une Triumph, le confort, la fonctionnalité, le caractère et la tenue de route irréprochable sont tous au rendez-vous. Aucun compromis n'a été fait.
Son emblématique moteur bicylindre parallèle et son châssis haut de gamme confèrera un caractère légendaire à chacun de vos voyages. Le Thunderbird LT vous transportera vers de nouvelles aventures avec l'élégance et la puissance tranquilles d'un cruiser routier classique haut de gamme.

How come when the government shutdown took place everyone blamed it on the Republicans? Why does everyone think the Democrats are always right and smarter? Why do Republicans always have to agree with Democrats to make it look right in the eyes of the public? Republicans were at least willing to negotiate.
What good is it to let people keep their old health insurance for another year? Our governor isn�t going to allow it anyway.
As far the President is concerned, look how well everything is going with the health care sign-up. Those signing up are a large percentage of the non-payers. Guess who�s going to foot that bill?
I�m so glad we live in a free country with freedom of choice, and that we have Obamacare. Praise God for that. Yippy-ki�ay. I know I�m not the only American who thinks this way about these things.

Party Recap
Excitement starts to grow as the party venue was decorated a day before. My husband and I, together with Daydream Events Team, helped in putting up all the details together.
Guests were in awe when they arrived at the entrance where the Stormtroopers stood as guards. Inside the venue, Sure Audio set up a galactic mood with laser lights and other effects.
Luke's grand entrance kicked off with a Star Wars scrolling video, followed by A New Hope movie clip. Star Wars theme song played as Queen Amidala entered the room, followed by Han Solo and the Padawans. And lastly, us-the celebrants.
The kids were introduced to the Jedi Training Camp, where they had to complete 3 tests. Test 1; Space Travel; Test 2: Control; and Test 3: Agility. They also enjoyed lots of party games.
I love the looks on the faces of the Padawans when Darth Vader entered the room, dramatically with smoke efffects and all, after showing a video clip on how he came to be Darth Vader. It was fantastic.
We also had a Padawan Graduation, and all kids received their Jedi Knight certificate.

Lol I got the Deathly Hollows book saturday dinner read it by bedtime, I love the harry potter books but they are too simple to read. Good for a rest between books though! Fantastic story line aswel, my next door neighbour said to me yesterday "You should become a author, theres some money in that business you know."
Alright Hermione....give the rest of us a break, just because we cant read a 700 page book between dinner and bedtime. I suppose your idea of a light read is War and Peace
I enjoyed it, but unfortunately, I had to work all weekend, and was not able to devote as much time to just reading through it like I wanted to. With The Half Blood Prince, I read it in one night because I was off work and could devote the time to just reading.

Lol I got the Deathly Hollows book saturday dinner read it by bedtime,
Gee, I thought I was good for devouring those 757 pages in 9 hours. I went to a huge party, stood in line for an hour, rushed home, then finished it before taking a nap Saturday morning.
I ordered an utlra-deluxe edition of The Hobbit to refresh my mind of the details. I'm optimistic about Peter Jackson being in talks with New Line again - it wouldn't be the same if someone else turned this masterpiece into a movie.

Fascinating historical novel which takes place in the 12th century. The main character is Mat Kerbouchard. The book starts with Mat arriving at his home to find his mother murdered and homestead in Brittany by Baron de Taillefeur. Mat's father, a famous corsair, had been on a voyage for over a year and reports from Cyprus said he was dead. Mat must take a trip across Europe to see if his father is still alive, and if so, return to Brittany and deal revenge on the evil Baron. Mat has many adventures and misadventures in being a pirate, scholar, lover, physician, merchant, soldier, and slave (but not necessarily in that order). He makes powerful allies and enemies (perhaps he should not have been alone for so long with the fiancée of Prince Ahmad).
Like most of L'Amour's other works, this book is geared towards young adults.
8 stars out of 10.

PSU assists "big data" analysts
(Portland, Ore.) — The explosion of big data – headlined in Time, The Wall Street Journal and 60 Minutes – may worry ordinary citizens, but offers promise of new discoveries for scientists to whom Portland State University (PSU) is now offering a new tool in a course, "Data Mining With Information Theory."
"Big data," a recent coinage, refers both to the exponential growth of specific information and its accumulation and use in giant computer data banks. Researchers at NIH, the Mars Lander and the National Highway Safety Board, among others, are seeking answers for vexing problems in terabytes (millions of gigabytes) of data.
In Portland, over 3,500 researchers at OHSU, Kaiser Permanente, PSU, Reed, Lewis and Clark, University of Portland, Intel and elsewhere have been crunching big data for years. They are struggling to understand diverse natural and social phenomena such as diabetes onset, particle behavior in chips, drug abuse, our galaxy's topology, and word usage in Shakespeare's plays.
To assist big data analysts, Martin Zwick, professor of Systems Science at PSU, is making a new tool available to Portland's research community. In a ten-week class, beginning September 25th, mid-career professionals in research and data analysis will learn to use Zwick's brainchild OCCAM—alongside and with the help of the program's Ph.D. candidates. Twenty years in the making, OCCAM is a computer program that can find subtle, non-obvious relations in data sets with sample sizes as large as 150,000 cases, with hundreds of variables. While this is not "big data" in the sense of terabytes (e.g., sample sizes in the millions or number of variables in the tens or hundreds of thousands), it is large enough to be valuable to many researchers, and anticipated parallelization will allow OCCAM to handle big data in the future.
"Other programs such as SPSS have long been in use for modeling", says Prof. Zwick, "but usually users need to know or guess at the likely relationships in the data. In complex situations dozens, hundreds, even thousands of explicit hypotheses need to be formulated. Our program, OCCAM, does not require such a priori knowledge or hypotheses about predicting relationships; it directly identifies strong and even very complex relationships in the data, including many that the analyst may not suspect."
Beginning in fall quarter 2012, Zwick is conducting a laboratory in the practical use of OCCAM, which has already demonstrated its usefulness in such varied fields as biology, medicine, finance, economics, social and environmental studies, mathematics, and engineering. The ten-week course at the customary University fee will allow students to discover relationships in their own data, which they will bring. Plans are underway for a short 3-5 day intensive workshop to be offered in the future.
For more information on the course, contact Prof. Zwick at email@example.com.

DENVER, Colorado (CNN) -- It was classic Clinton.
It was Sen. Hillary Clinton's big night but before her speech even began, former President Bill Clinton reached out in his box and firmly embraced a young African-American man.
Clinton gripped the young man tightly; to millions watching on television, it was clear he could feel Mervyn Jones Jr.'s pain.
As he sat down for his wife's headlining address, Bill Clinton's silent embrace of the 25-year-old son of recently deceased Ohio Rep. Stephanie Tubbs Jones resonated loudly.
Rep. Tubbs Jones, of course, was a solid and loyal Clinton supporter, standing by the Clintons even when many other black leaders were shifting their support to Barack Obama.
Then, in her speech, Sen. Clinton herself took a moment to mention Tubbs Jones and her son.
"Steadfast in her beliefs, a fighter of uncommon grace, she was an inspiration to me and to us all," Clinton said. "Our heart goes out to Stephanie's son, Mervyn Jr."
The public moment of recognition was the result of years of friendship.
" I remember the first time President Clinton ran for office [in 1992]," Jones Jr. told CNN. "He came to Cleveland. I must have been 8 years old.
"My mother got the chance to meet him. ... They have been best of friends ever since," he said.
And, perhaps, it was also a reminder that if you stand by the Clintons, the Clintons will stand by you.
Tubbs Jones endorsed Hillary Clinton for president in April 2007 but with Sen. Barack Obama's success during the primaries, many African-American superdelegates came under pressure to back Obama instead.
Tubbs Jones, however, held steadfast even as others in her position switched their allegiance.
"I'm going to be with her until she says, 'Stephanie, I'm no longer in this fight. You're free to do something else,'" Tubbs Jones told CNN's Wolf Blitzer in March. "In politics, all you have is your word," she added.
She passed that same sense of commitment on to her son.
"If you give somebody your word, you're going to go ahead and do it," Jones Jr. said the day after Hillary Clinton's address to the Democratic National Convention. "Otherwise, it's not worth anything."
"The same goes in politics," he added. "If you don't have your word, you don't really have anything to stand on in politics. So, that's one thing I did learn [from my mother] at a very early age."
When Sen. Clinton asked Jones Jr. to sit with her husband during what was perhaps her most important speech to date, he agreed.
"She always said that if you don't stick by somebody in the bad times, you never know how good the good times are going to be," Jones Jr. said, explaining his mother's view of loyalty.
Tubbs Jones, 58, died suddenly a week ago of a brain aneurysm. She was in her fifth term in the House of Representatives and was the first African-American woman to represent Ohio in the House.
What would Tubbs Jones have thought of Sen. Clinton's call Tuesday for Democrats to unify behind Obama?
"She would've been standing up, hooting and hollering saying, 'Wow. That's exactly what we needed. Way to be a team player,'" Jones Jr. said.
In what some political analysts were calling the first speech of her second campaign for president, Hillary Clinton did her part on stage.
And, in the box, her husband held on tightly to the son of an old friend and sent a message of his own that may resonate as an important moment in the long-term resurrection of the Clinton brand in American politics.

M.J. "Jay" Brodie, who has headed Baltimore's economic development agency under four mayors and helped shepherd projects such as the Harbor East redevelopment, said Thursday he plans to retire.
The Baltimore native and former city housing commissioner is credited with overseeing initiatives to create thousands of jobs and to attract and keep hundreds of businesses in the city during his 16 years as president of the Baltimore Development Corp., the city's quasi-public economic development arm.
Brodie, viewed as highly influential in city development, also has drawn criticism from residents and business owners who have complained about being pushed out by urban renewal and about the secrecy under which they say his agency has operated.
Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake praised Brodie, 75, on Thursday for his "countless" contributions to the city. The mayor also announced plans to launch a professional search for a replacement.
Brodie said he would stay on as BDC president until a replacement is hired. After that, he said, he would become an adviser to the Mayor's Office of Economic and Neighborhood Development if an employment contract is approved.
"Jay has been a true champion for Baltimore's businesses — both large and small — and has left a permanent, positive legacy as a major contributor to our city's ongoing renaissance," Rawlings-Blake, who has worked with Brodie since her days on the City Council, said in a statement. "Jay pursued his work with the utmost integrity and worked hard every day to make Baltimore a great place to live and work."
In an interview, Brodie, who started at the BDC in 1996 under then-Mayor Kurt L. Schmoke, called his job at the agency the most rewarding of his life.
His work on city development efforts stretches back decades. He led the city's housing department, first as deputy commissioner and then as commissioner, from 1969 to 1984, and worked on efforts to reinvent the Inner Harbor.
During Brodie's tenure as president, the BDC's programs retained or attracted 58,725 jobs in 993 businesses, bringing in a capital investment of $3.2 billion, city officials said.
The agency under his leadership worked with private developers and investors on dozens of projects, including the opening of 20 neighborhood grocery stores and the redevelopment of Mondawmin Mall, Clipper Mill and the Belvedere Square market. He also helped bring the national Main Streets program to Baltimore and expanded Baltimore's Emerging Technology Center program.
Over the years, the BDC's projects and strategies have also sparked opposition and lawsuits. Critics complained that too many decisions were made behind closed doors, leading to a lawsuit that eventually prompted the BDC to open its board meetings. Backed by the city, the agency has helped push through big property tax breaks for developers and used eminent domain to acquire property from residents and business owners.
Brodie said he believed Baltimore would likely always require some tax incentives to remain competitive, in part because developers have to pay higher costs for property taxes and construction of parking garages.
Brodie said he was proud of helping neighborhood merchants thrive through the Main Streets programs — and, on the other end of the size spectrum, of attracting Morgan Stanley and its hundreds of jobs to Harbor East.
He also said had strived to make the BDC more open and responsive to businesses.
"Baltimore is a challenging place to do big projects," Brodie said. "People are reticent. People were reticent about Charles Center. People were reticent about the Inner Harbor. They were reticent about Harbor East."
Despite this hesitancy, he said, "we've accomplished as much or more than I would have guessed if you had asked me way back when."
Why was he retiring? "As my wife would have said, 'You're not 20 anymore,'" he said.
Brodie and his wife, Georgene "Genie" Brodie, who died in 2002, developed a passion for ice skating — an activity he still enjoys and plans to do more of once he retires. He said he also looks forward to spending more time with his four grandchildren.
He is also known for a near-encyclopedic knowledge of the city. During days spent traveling from meeting to meeting, Brodie usually toted an armful of newspapers, documents and files.
"He's a walking history of the city. He knows the background, he knows what's going on, and he knows what's about to happen," said Ann Lansinger, president of the Emerging Technology Center, an incubator for startup technology companies, who has worked with Brodie since 1999.
Brodie has also helped foster downtown's evolution from a purely commercial district to a livable neighborhood with places to shop and live as well as work, said J. Kirby Fowler, president of the Downtown Partnership of Baltimore.
"For decades, Jay has been a stalwart champion for downtown," Fowler said. "Every project in the city at one point or another goes through [the] BDC, and he's been supportive of moving development forward in every case."
Among Brodie's greatest gifts are his depth of understanding of real estate development, a passion for the city and a "gentlemanly style" combined with a tenacious approach to getting projects done, Fowler said.
Brodie has long been on the short list of mayoral Cabinet leaders likely to leave, both because of his age and concerns about the Baltimore Development Corp.
Rawlings-Blake's economic development transition committee, led by the Greater Baltimore Committee's president and CEO, Donald C. Fry, has said the BDC should focus more on strategy, boost efforts to educate the public about outreach, and increase its transparency.
Rawlings-Blake hacked millions of dollars of funding from the agency's budget last year. The BDC plugged the hole — preventing layoffs — by funding its budget through $2.4 million in property sales.
Baltimore Sun reporters Gus Sentementes and Julie Scharper contributed to this article.

It's a pretty impressive undertaking, with an anticipated staff of 2,000.
They expect to serve 71,500 satisfied customers each day.
In its limited 6-week run, the restaurant estimates it will serve 60,000 Big Macs...
...and 180,000 boxes of fries!

[2]In anticipation of the April Gentoo Monthly Screenshots thread on my favorite forum [3], I've been working on beautifying my desktop for the last several days.
This month I wanted to post something a little different. I've been using KDE for many moons now [4] so my desktops, and the screenshots of it, always look [5] basically the same [6]. The icons, wallpaper, colors, and window decorations have changed, but being a creature of habit and having found what works for me, I never changed the layout much. I had hoped to do that this month. And in keeping with the spirit of the thread, I'm going to run fluxbox all April long and post my thoughts on using it here at tuxmachines at the end. I've been running fluxbox fulltime for not quite a week now as I type this (if you don't count my occasional look around and use of my laptop [7]), which is why this article is entitled "Part 1".
The Setup
The Theme
I started with my Plain Jane v. 0.9.12 fluxbox desktop [8] posted last month and the first thing I did was set a new wallpaper. The most fundamental aspect of any desktop is the wallpaper. You can get a glimpse into the personality of folks by the wallpaper they choose. (I'm going to leave that topic there as I could, and might, write an entire article on that.) The wallpaper is the foundation of any theme, it's the basis on which everything should be built. It shapes the colors, the mood, the icons sometimes, and the window decorations. It is also one of the easiest aspects to change in fluxbox.
One has several choices in their method of setting a wallpaper. Fluxbox's own fbsetbg is a popular choice. Although as much as I can tell, it's a wrapper that probably calls to xsetbg to actually do the background. But if you're running fluxbox you should already have those two elements installed. Other options include wmsetbg, Esetroot, and feh.
I chose feh because of some of it's nice features. It can do a simple background set, but it can also do a slideshow, multiple images on the one screen, filelist sorting and loading, loading images via http, montage/collage creation and much much more. So one simply adds their command to the ~/.fluxbox/init file and wha-la > a nice background. For now mine looks like this:
session.screen0.rootCommand: feh
--bg-scale /mnt/oldhome/s/wallpapers/Fleur1280.jpg
For the colors I relied upon the theme manager of fluxbox at this time. I installed gentoo's fluxbox-theme package from an ebuild and had a nice large list of themes to choose from. I chose Nuevat3k-Bluenight. It's a nice bluish-darkgreenish style with small discrete window decorations and great looking menu effects.
I'm primarily using KDE apps, as all my mail is in kde maildir format in my KDE .Mail folder and all my browser bookmarks are in my ~/.kde folder. I'm using the provided Atlas Green color theme that been included with KDE forever. Although my wallpaper has very little (if any real) green in it, the understated green seems to blend well with the aqua in it and the greenish blue of the menus. It's a nice combination I think. My gtk apps are using the default gray color and style for now.
I tried out fluxconf/fluxmenu to try and add entries to my menu. It seemed to work good, but at some point it deleted the main line at the beginning of my .fluxbox/menu file and left the menu crippled. Fortunately I had a backup and just copied and pasted the missing line back. I used it to add the kde apps submenu and openoffice.org to the Office submenu. Fluxmenu seems to be a nice little application for adding menu entries. I installed it using ebuilds, but you can get it and more information here [12]. Then I finished editing the file manually for a couple other entries.
Gkrellm used to be the greatest thing since Hershey's kisses, but last year or so it's been quite unstable for me. It seem to freeze up and crash out often. So, I really quit using it. I tried torsmo [14] in kde, but it interfered with the desktop rendering causing blinking and the icons would disappear. However, none of that is a problem in fluxbox. I'm using torsmo most happily in fluxbox now. That configuration was a bit more tedious than gkrellm, but the docs [15] are fairly complete and easy to understand, and there were quite a few examples on the forum to consult. Actually, weather support is supposed to be included in the newest torsmo, but I didn't see too much about it in the gentoo ebuild version (ok, I didn't look too hard). So, I just went with {exec /some/script}.
I actually saw many methods for accomplishing this task, but the one I used was here [16]. I usually like to pull weather info from our local airport and that's what I did in gkrellm. This method pulls from yahoo which in turn pulls from weather.com. I may play with this some more and try other methods, but for now I like the output formatting of Arainach's script.
In addition, I found a tip on how to set a calender in that same thread. I was hunting around looking for an applet to do that, but this method saves on system resources and gives a consistant uncluttered look - as does the date/time string for which I was also originally looking for an applet to display.
That's a wonderful thread if you want some good tips for configuring your torsmo. In fact that entire forum is a wonder resource for just about anything Linux! I've found it indispensable.
I'm still working on my voltage output values tho. I can glean the information from the /sys files as gkrellm did, but I haven't been able to get divisors to work yet. Maybe by the next report I'll have figured it out. The most important thing is to watch for consistency/stability anyway, and this'll serve that purpose for now.
Setiathome outputs seem to be a problem across systems and setups. Apparently it's broken, but at least it's included and will probably be fixed in an upcoming release. So for now I just grepped my seti/state.sah and seti/user_info.sah files.
Desktop Icons
It seems idesk [18] is your best choice for desktop icons. I had trouble with gentoo's ebuild version shooting glibc errors. Utilizing several recent versions of glibc and rebuilding did not seem to fix it for me, so I downloaded the source from the site and all is well - and stable.
The two key component here are a ~/.ideskrc file to set up your basic config and actions and an ~/.idesktop directory for all your .lnk files (icons). There's an example of an .ideskrc on idesk's site and I merely copied&pasted then changed a couple things for my use like single clicking. Also the site includes an example of an .lnk file that I used as a template to make all my others. I set the gentoo icon for use in each separate .lnk file. I had always wanted to use the gentoo icon set but they didn't come with a .theme file for easy use in kde. Here was my chance. This process was straight forward and simple, no voodoo required. idesk seems stable and is completely usable. It works. (Please forgive the surprize in my voice.)
The Pager
There are many pagers to choose from out there, but I chose fbpager [20]. It was available on the fluxbox site so I figured it'd probably be best for my purposes. The screenshots were nice and it supports transparency. After experimenting with different settings, I have my alpha set at 64. I set the window borders to be white and it looks good on the darker backgrounds I tend to use.
The configuration file is simple and easy to edit. It's located in ~/.fluxbox/fbpager. There is an example on the above linked fbpager page. I just edited a few lines to my taste, ran the
command fbpager, and was in business.
To date I've tried at least 4 panels and have yet to find one I like. I've tried engage and kooldock to name a couple. Documentation being sorely lacking is one of the problems encountered. Engage seems a bit buggy and kooldock only seems to recognize kde apps. I just really prefer the small toolbar that comes with fluxbox myself. I'll probaby do some more experimenting over the course of April and perhaps I'll have some good new on this front next report.
I looked at KDE's transparency when they recently released their wonderful latest version 3.4. I found it a little limited in it's present state, but look forward to their continued development in this area. However with fluxbox, transparency can be achieved using xcompmgr [22] I installed using gentoo's ebuild and wasn't expecting much. I figured if it even worked, it'd be unstable, resource hungry and completely unusable. I was wrong.
It installed with no problems. I issued the command xcompmgr and wham - instant transparency. It works nicely, looks great and doesn't present any stability issues. It hasn't crashed yet even while changing fluxbox themes over and over.
xcompmgr is easy to set up as it don't seem to use a configuration file instead using start flags or options. Issuing a xcompmgr --help yields the options one can use. I experiment with many of them but I've found I like it best as default and just use xcompmgr &. You need to install transset to get the -o flag to work. One must edit their XFree86 or Xorg config file to enable it by inserting the following lines:
Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "Enable"
Option "RenderAccel" "true"
and if you use nvidia for opengl:
Option "AllowGLXWithComposite" "true"
Sometimes I get a little artifacting when using mplayer sometimes, but I understand I can eliminate that if I use mplayer without xv. I ran Doom3 last night, the first time since using fluxbox with all the enable eye candy, and it plays wonderfully. xcompmgr didn't seem to effect it in the least. In fact that's about the smoothest play I've had to date, and I'm still using the 6620 drivers cuz I'm having issues with the 7167 release that I haven't had time or the inclination to resolve.
Preliminary Conclusion
By itself fluxbox is a nice and capable window manager. I've used it on my laptop forever because of it's small footprint and light-weight design. Dressing it up by adding icons and other eye candy didn't seem to slow it down. It's always been my backup, but after just a week, I'm already settling in and vow to use fluxbox at least for the month of April. Please look for my report at the end of month for my final conclusions.

Data binding framework for Java (XML, Objects, DB) - XML module
DescriptionCastor is a data binding framework for Java. It's the shortest path between Java objects, XML documents and relational tables. Castor XML is an XML data binding framework. Unlike the two main XML APIs, DOM (Document Object Model) and SAX (Simple API for XML) which deal with the structure of an XML document, Castor enables you to deal with the data defined in an XML document through an object model which represents that data. Castor XML can be compared to XMLBeans framework. Castor JDO is an Object-Relational Mapping and Data-Binding Framework. Castor can map relational database data into Java Data Object based on user-defined mapping schema. In the other point-of-view, it provides java data objects a persistence layer. This package contains the core XML data binding framework with support for marshalling Java objects to and unmarshalling from XML documents.

About a month ago I wrote about how the Terminator franchise rights were up for grabs now that the company who owns the rights, Halcyon Co., has filed for bankruptcy. Well, the rights to the beloved sci-fi franchise are now officially on the auction block and we already have a wild opening bid that's making news.
The man behind the bid? Joss Whedon, creator of Buffy The Vampire Slayer and Dollhouse.
According to the LA Times, The Halcyon Co. hopes to have the Terminator rights sold off by January, 2o1o, if only to start recouping some of the money they lost on the failed venture that was this summer's Terminator Salvation (that title suddenly holds a lot of irony, doesn't it?). There is also the possibility that Halcyon will hop on a "stalking horse," which is basically a motivated buyer who bids early (and high enough) to have the property put on hold while the buyer then performs full due diligence on said property. To boil it even further down into layman's terms: If some high-pockets out there thinks there is enough juice left to be squeezed out of the Terminator franchise, they'll pay to be able to look deeper into just how much money they can make off it.
Sony and Warner Bros. are being floated as the studios circling the property right now, as is independent studio Summit Entertainment (the Twilight guys). But studios are not the only ones interested, apparently; rich guys from the private sector "...have expressed strong interest" said Kevin Shultz, senior managing director of FTI, Halcyon's hired financial advisors. Ironically enough, one of those private sector guys making an early bid is none other than Joss Whedon, who in the last 24 hours posted a whopping $10,000 bid for the Terminator rights on fan site whedonesque.com, sparking off rumors galore.
Since that initial "bombshell," Whedon has explained his out-of-left-field bid to Entertainment Weekly:
"Here's the thing: It's not a slam on The Terminator. I love The Terminator. That part's totally true. I was thinking to myself, 'Not since they auctioned off frames from The Little Mermaid have I wished I had more money this much. So you know what, never hurts to ask.' I loved the movies, even the later movies. I loved the mythology. I loved the TV show [The Sarah Connor Chronicles]–like, really loved. Not for pretend. And not just because of [star] Summer [Glau]."
The most surprising thing I read in that quote is that Joss Whedon is actually a fanboy for The Sarah Connor Chronicles - that show certainly didn't do any favors for the first season of Whedon's Dollhouse last year!
Needless to say, I'm sure The Halcyon Co. will get a better offer than Whedon's for the Terminator rights - but wouldn't be cool if by some chance Joss Whedon became the master of the Terminator universe (or would that be more of a disaster)? Anyhoo, Halcyon bought the rights for $25 million and now figures their worth - after all the great, great, work they did on Terminator Salvation :-| - to be up around the $60 million range. Whoever nabs said rights gets to call the shots on how any other sequel films or TV spin-offs will go down (hopefully far removed from McG's terrible plans for T5), and will inherit whatever money can still be squeezed out of Salvation when it hits DVD in December.
Do you have a strategic business plan for who should hold the rights to the Terminator franchise? Should it be a studio or an independent investor who just has that much love for the series?

In 1899, Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema's contribution to the British art world was acknowledged with a knighthood. He is pictured standing at the top table, to the left here, at a celebratory banquet held in his honour at the Whitehall Rooms, Hotel Metropole, London. With about 180 guests, almost every significant late nineteenth-century artist was present. Alma-Tadema remarked that 'without the approval of the brethren the honour would lose nearly all its attraction', exemplifying the emphasis he placed on his personal relationships. He was awarded the Order of Merit in 1905.

Current affairsGeorge Nathaniel Curzon, Lord Curzon, is appointed Viceroy of India, pursuing a mixed policy of forceful control and conciliation. Curzon's inquiries into Indian administration result in legislation in areas including education, irrigation, and policing. The Board of Education is created to co-ordinate the work of higher grade elementary schools, county technical schools and endowed grammar schools, also setting up a register of teachers.
Art and scienceThe Italian Guglielmo Marconi transmits the first wireless telegraph, between France and England across the English Channel, a distance of 32 miles. Marconi's production of waves over long distances lays the foundations for the development of the radio. Later this year, Marconi demonstrates his invention in America, at the Cup yacht race, and for the American navy.
InternationalOutbreak of the second Boer war, fought between the British Empire and the two independent Boer Republics of the Orange Free State and the Transvaal. Despite a disastrous start, Britain quickly won the war, although guerilla warfare continued until 1902, leading to the introduction of concentration camps by British commander Lord Kitchener, a measure which contributes to the British public's growing disillusionment with the campaign.

Fiji v Samoa, Rugby World Cup, September 25
Fiji and Samoa scrap for survival
ESPNscrum Staff
September 23, 2011
Nicky Little has been recalled by Fiji for Sunday's pivotal game against Samoa in Auckland © Getty Images
Both Fiji and Samoa know that nothing less than victory will suffice in their mouth-watering Rugby World Cup Pool D clash in Auckland on Sunday.
With Fiji having suffered a surprisingly brutal defeat at the hands of the Springboks last weekend and Samoa coming out on the wrong side of a 17-10 scoreline in their clash with Wales, whichever side loses at Eden Park will have no chance of reaching the quarter-finals.
The Fijians perhaps always suspected that they would find themselves needing to beat Samoa to keep their interest in the tournament alive, even if they did go into their clash with South Africa thinking that Peter de Villiers' side might be there for the taking in light of the Boks' narrow and highly fortuitous victory over the Welsh on the opening weekend.
However, Samoa had high hopes of beating Wales in Hamilton last Sunday - and feel that they would have done so had the game not come just four days after their meeting with Namibia in Rotorua. Indeed, it was notable that the Welsh only took control of an incredibly tight contest in the final quarter, at a point when the Samoans were visibly tiring. Eliota Fuimaono-Sapolu's subsequent claim that the International Rugby Board's treatment of Samoa is akin to slavery, the holocaust and apartheid was offensive and ill-advised - but the Gloucester centre's frustration was understandable.
However, there is nothing that can be done about the scheduling now and the challenge for Samoa head coach Titimaea Tafua is to channel his players' bitterness into a positive, motivating force in this weekend's must-win meeting with Fiji.
Fiji, though, will hardly be lacking in motivation themselves. Indeed, victory over Samoa would set up a winner-takes-all clash with Wales on the final weekend of the pool stages - a scenario which would bring back happy memories for the South Sea Islanders given that they eliminated the Welsh in exactly those circumstances in France four years ago.
Fiji - Player to Watch: It has to be Nicky Little. The veteran fly-half, who is playing in his fourth World Cup, has been recalled to the Fijian starting line-up for this crunch clash, with head coach Samu Domoni probably quite rightly deciding that Little's vast experience could prove crucial on the day.
Fiji - Team News: Little has been preferred to Waisea Luveniyali at No.10 in the only change to the back-line which faced the Springboks. There are, however, four changes up front. Dominiko Waqaniburotu misses out through suspension and his place at blindside flanker goes to Netani Talei, who will be joined in the back-row by Mala Ravulo and Sisa Koyamaibole, with openside Akapusi Qera and No.8 Sakiusa Matadigo the men to make way. The final change comes in the second-row, with Seko Kalou recalled at the expense of Wame Lewaravu, who drops out of the matchday 22.
Samoa - Player to Watch: Fullback Paul Williams has proven a reliable source of points for Samoa so far but he did miss kick two kicks on goal in the loss to Wales. It is imperative that he take every chance which comes his way in what is likely to be a desperately tight affair on Sunday.
Samoa - Team News: Tusi Pisi returns at fly-half in place of Tasesa Lavea after being forced to pull out of last weekend's defeat by Wales at the last minute. In the pack, Census Johnston takes over at tight-head from Anthony Perenise, who drops to the bench in spite of the fact that he registered Samoa's only try against the Welsh, while Taiasina Tuifua reclaims the No.6 jersey from Ofisa Treviranus after recovering from the rib injury he sustained in the Samoa's tournament opener against Namibia.
Key Battle: It might not decide the game but two wingers who possess power and pace in equal measure will collide at Eden Park as Fiji's Vereniki Goneva and Samoa's Alesana Tuilagi go head to head. Expect some almighty collisions as they try to add to their respective hat-tricks against Namibia!
Stats: Brian Lima is Samoa's record World Cup try-scorer, having dotted 10 times in 18 appearances.
Trivia: Nicky Little is the first Fijian to have played at four Rugby World Cups.
Quote Unquote:
"I can't be more confident than this, otherwise I'll have to put the boots on and run out myself. This is it. These are the guys who will take Fiji forward."
"Ok, it's obvious the IRB are unjust. Wales get 7 days, we get 3. Unfair treatment, like slavery, like the holocaust, like apartheid."
Prediction: This one is almost too close to call but we're tipping Samoa. The Fijians should be the fresher of the two sides but if Samoa's stamina can hold up it is they who have the slightly greater potency behind the scrum and that should decide the game in their favour. It will be tight, though.

TCU is moving to the Big East Conference, where the Horned Frogs would be BCS busters no more.
NBCDFW's Newy Scruggs reported the move on his Facebook page at 9:30 a.m.
Several TCU athletics employees told Scruggs that TCU will move, in all sports, from the Mountain West Conference to the Big East.
TCU's board of trustees unanimously approved an invitation Monday to join the Big East Conference in football and all other sports. The move from the Mountain West Conference becomes official July 1, 2012.
The Big East will provide TCU automatic access to the Bowl Championship Series and its five big-money games.
"Access got easier, not the road," said Frogs coach Gary Patterson, whose third-ranked Frogs (12-0) wrapped up their second consecutive undefeated regular season and Mountain West title with a 66-17 win at New Mexico on Saturday.
The Big East currently has eight football teams and one of six automatic BCS slots.
"Having BCS automatic-qualifying status was a priority for our football program and a great reward for the success we've had the last decade," TCU athletic director Chris Del Conte said in a statement.
TCU is third in the BCS standings, the highest for a non-automatic qualifying team and in line for a chance to play for the national championship if Auburn or Oregon lose next weekend. The Frogs likely will play in the Rose Bowl if Auburn and Oregon both win -- players were holding roses on the field after their win Saturday.
"Who would have thought five years ago that the guaranteed fallback position is, you're going to the Rose Bowl, and one loss you're in the national championship?" Del Conte told a room filled with supporters and staff. "We're going to Pasadena, let's get fired up. We're going to the Big East, let's get fired up. ... It's a great time to be a Frog."
The pending departure of TCU continues a big shuffle for the Mountain West, which next season is losing Utah to the expanded Pac-12 and BYU, which is going independent in football. Boise State, another big BCS buster, is moving from the WAC to the Mountain West along with Fresno State and Nevada.
"Today's intercollegiate athletics environment is very fluid," Mountain West Conference commissioner Craig Thompson said in a statement. "Our board of directors and directors of athletics, as they have throughout the history of the MWC and with even more focus recently, will continue to analyze the landscape and chart our course in the context of ongoing changes."
Thompson said there were "conversations already under way with potential future members."
Del Conte said losing BYU and Utah was a "significant blow" to the Mountain West.
"It was not the same league that we joined," he said. "It's not the same home that we bought, it's not same home we were invited to, and things changed, the landscape changed."
TCU could help the MWC land an automatic bid to the BCS after the Frogs are gone.
TCU's excellent 2010 (and it's 2011 performance) will count toward the MWC's resume when the conferences are evaluated after the 2011 season.
BCS officials have said a non-automatic qualifying conference could earn an automatic bid for the 2012 and '13 seasons.
And if the Big East's BCS bid comes under scrutiny when the next TV contract ends after the 2013 season, TCU's 2010 season will also count toward the Big East's resume.
"It's too soon to speculate about what the BCS thresholds will be for the 2015 and beyond, but it seems likely that TCU's move will enhance the Big East's position," BCS executive director Bill Hancock said in an e-mail.
The Big East has schools in nine of the nation's 35 largest media markets and will soon add Dallas/Fort Worth, the fifth largest.
"Located in one of the top five media markets in the country, TCU also enables the Big East to extend its media footprint, which already encompasses more than a quarter of the country," league Commissioner John Marinatto said.
The only current Big East team ranked in the AP poll is No. 23 West Virginia (8-3, 4-2 Big East), which is 24th in the BCS standings. Connecticut (7-4, 4-2) could get the league's automatic BCS spot.
TCU might not have been headed to a BCS game without Boise State's loss Friday night in overtime at Nevada. Had the Broncos remained undefeated, there was a real possibility that the Broncos could have passed the Frogs in the BCS standings and been the only non-AQ team to get into one of the top-level bowls.
"This is a great move," Patterson said. "I'll say this, we don't seem to get bored around this place. ... The one last mark people have held against in recruiting is that we were not an automatic qualifier. Now that's been erased."
TCU was a BCS buster for the first time last season, then lost to Boise State in the Fiesta Bowl.
The Frogs have won 25 consecutive regular-season games, and 38 of 41 overall. The only losses in that span were in the Fiesta Bowl, and games at Oklahoma and Utah.
"Coach Patterson's done a great job there and has brought an awful lot of exposure to themselves just because of the success that they've had," South Florida coach Skip Holtz said. "Probably over the last five years, (they) have been one of the leaders in this whole BCS busters thing, and they've done it on a consistent basis. They've proven that they can compete at that level, that they're deserving of having the opportunity to be in a BCS conference."
Louisville athletic director Tom Jurich believes TCU is "a great addition" to the Big East, and has no problem with the league expanding so far west.
"Hey, the Big 12's got 10, the Big 10's got 12," Jurich said. "Why should we be any different?"
With all TCU sports moving to the Big East, it will create a 17-team basketball league.
Marinatto said the league was aware of the logistical issues associated with having 17 basketball teams and nine football teams and that those issues would be addressed soon. He wouldn't discuss the possibility of even more schools being added to the league.
Villanova, which won the FCS national championship last season, has been considering moving up in classification in football and joining the league in which their basketball teams and other sports are already a member.
"We are excited about the addition of TCU, as they bring a great deal of value to the Big East," Villanova AD Vince Nicastro said Monday. "However, our timeframe has not changed. We are continuing to move forward with our comprehensive evaluation of FBS level football, and are still targeting a decision by the spring of 2011."
The Big East will be the fourth conference for TCU since the Southwest Conference broke apart after the 1995 season and the Frogs weren't among the Texas schools that became part of the Big 12.
TCU was in the WAC from 1996-2000 before going to Conference USA for four seasons and then joining the Mountain West in 2005.
When Nebraska announced it was leaving the Big 12 for the Big 10 and Colorado declared its move to the Pac-10, the Big 12 opted against adding TCU or anybody else and plans to move forward as a 10-team league for now.
NBCDFW's Newy Scruggs and AP's Stephen Hawkins contributed to this report

We supply homeowners with everything they need to celebrate Halloween in spooky style. From graveyards to zombies and Alice in Wonderland costumes we carry a huge selection of products to fright and delight.
We have an existing customer base of Halloween fanatics that look forward to receiving our catalog every year. They are mostly Halloween fans that like to dress up or throw their own spooky party. Many of them transform their home into a haunted house for Halloween. The customers are very interested in the spookier side of Halloween.
We are looking for a catalog spread. This is just a design of two interior pages. We will contract the winner to do the rest of the catalog. We are looking for an easy to read design that uses space economically. Contact information on every page. Large product pictures. Typically 6 to 8 per page. Catalog will be 8.5" x 11".

Camplazens is located at the top of La Clape, a limestone mountain 10 miles long and 4 miles wide overlooking the Mediterranean. La Clape is an official sub-appellation of Coteaux du Languedoc that is gaining in reputation for its wine making. Only 26 vineyards are situated on La Clape, an environmentally protected land since 1965, and the only permitted activity is grape growing. La Clape is comprised of limestone cliffs and fertile valleys, covered with wild moorland, or 'Garrigue.' The abundance of thyme, rosemary, lavender and sage together with a plethora of wild flowers and grasses create richly scented aromas, which are reproduced in the wine. The soil is rich alluvial clay, while when present in areas of limestone can be broken up to create a well drained, porous soil which makes maximum use of reflected sunlight for ripening the grapes. The climate conditions are ideal, combining the Northwest mountain breezes from the Carccassone Valley with the sea mists of the Mediterranean below. La Clape has about 3000 hours of sunshine a year, which is among the highest in the Mediterranean. Winters are cool and wet, and the proximity to the sea keeps the frost away just long enough to enable the growing season to be extended for an additional few weeks allowing the vines to absorb the last few days of autumn sun. Vines Camplazens harvests three primary types of vines, following the directives of the AOC La Clape; namely Syrah, Grenache, and Carignan. The vineyard also has a small amount of Viognier as well as a new variety called Marselan. Syrah: Syrah are among the noblest of the black grapes. In youth, French Syrah is spicy, fruity, sometimes smoky and meaty, and shows plenty of tannin. Slow to age, at maturity the wine can display incredible layers of flavor and complexity, a smooth, silky texture, and wonderfully spicy aromas. The flavors revolve around blackberries and black plums. Grenache: The appeal of Grenache is its full, robust flavors of dark plums, prunes, and pickled cherries, which are often overlaid with dusty, almost earthy characters and hints of aromatic spices. Despite its up-front flavors and fruit intensity, its skin tannins tend to be mellow. Its high sugar content gives it warmth and richness, and while its fine tannin structure and generous flavors make it accessible at an early age, the best Grenache will also reward with a decade in the cellar. Carignan: Rich in color and high in tannins, it complements the Grenache well since it has greater acidity and lower oxidative levels, which help it to age. Marselan: A crossing between Grenache and Cabernet Sauvignon, Marselan is a new grape variety. Camplazens conducted the first harvest of their 5 hectars in 2005, one of the first vineyards in the world to cultivate the Marselan grape. The result is a dense rich wine with a full silky mouthfeel, a striking stand-alone wine or an ideal blending partner with Syrah. Viognier: A rare and exotic varietal that is full-bodied with a bouquet of peaches, apricots, and pears, and a floral quality that is like no other. The Current Vineyard Plantings in Hectares: Red Syrah 19 Grenache 9.5 Carignan 2.3 Marsalan 5 White Viognier 2.2 Viticulture Chateau Camplazens rests in a national forest, and it is very important to the Closes that they do not harm the delicate balance of their unique microclimate. Since 2003 the vineyard has practiced a progressive form of sustainable viticulture called Integrated Ecological Viticulture. In accordance with the standards and practices recommended by the OILB, the vineyard takes a sensible approach to the optimization of the vine-growing environment. This approach to the management of the vines is a long-term, carefully planned strategy. Each parcel is evaluated and treated on a case-by-case basis to limit the overuse of spraying. Integrated Ecological Viticulture allows the vineyard to combat harmful influences to the vines while permitting the plants and insects that are benign to thrive, and therefore continue to make Camplazens such a special place. We are aiming to be certified by 2008. Read less

Called Tarr Auburn (Seattle area) today, they quoted 3.39 / gallon MEOH, but the total cost was given as $245+15 fee+ $25 barrel deposit, or $10 deposit if I brought a similiar barrel. Go figger----up that much in less than a week??????
NaOH is $91 for a 50# bag.
Cascade chemical in Seattle-tukwila sold me a 50# bag of NaOH for $61, including the $25 hazard fee.
Just picked up an identical order last Friday for same price.
seems as though Brenntag has gone up quite a bit.
Here's our current prices, pack sizes, etc:
1 x 55 gallon drum of methanol $3.25/gallon
1 x 750 lb drum of sulfuric acid 66 degree Baume $.45/lb
1 x 660 lb drum of potassium hydroxide 45% $1.01/lb
Please keep in mind that the sulfuric and the KOH are packaged in recon poly drums. If you have a CDL with HazMat endorsement, DOT restrictions still would require that you transport the drums in a dedicated truck.

Hello, I am very new to Bio but very experienced in processing working in operations of an oil refinery for 27 years before recently being laid off. I have started an Industrial supply business and get pretty good pricing on the chemicals needed to make bio. As a newbie to bio I'd even be willing to trade some WVO for chemicals if the price is right or if you would just like to discuss processing I'd love to hear from you and compare how refineries do it. Feel free to call me on pricing of chemicals at 302-218-5444. We are a start up company in Delaware and are just starting to put inventory in our warehouse so give a call! We also have contacts with several trucking companies that offer pretty good discounts. Thanks for reading and have a Great Day!

This is driving me crazy. I'm hoping someone here can help me out. Here's the current configuration:
Windows 7 PC
Windows AIK
Windows ADK for 8.1
I've created a vm for the reference image and have the .wim file ready to go. The task has been created and I can boot to the deployment screen. I make all my selections and the installation works fine. Once it does it's first reboot, however, after a few minutes of finding and installing devices it errors out.
The first error is "Windows could not parse or process unattend answer file [C:\windows\Panther\unattend.xml] for pass [specialize]. A component or setting specified in the answer file does not exist."
I click OK on the window that popped up and the computer reboots, then I get another window that says "The computer restarted unexpectedly or encountered an unexpected error. windows installation cannot proceed. To install Windows, click "OK" to restart the computer, and then restart the installation."
I've looked through the unattend.xml and I can't see where it's getting hung up. I looked in the logs and can't see it there, either.
Saw this similer post you may want to look through(unless its yours)
Okay, I got past that problem by going into the unattend.xml file by using the GUI interface through the MDT (right-click the task sequence in MDT, left-click Properties, click the OS Info tab and click the Edit unattand.xml button).
In there I had to go into the specialize section, locate that IE Welcome Screen option, right-click it and select the option to revert the change (or whatever it said). Even if it says False already do this and it'll fix the issue.
Sweet make sure to mark your post best answer, or if you can't I will when the option presents itself. Glad you found the answer.

BILBOA, Spain, Feb. 23 (UPI) -- A Spanish princess asked justice officials to take a look at the plight of a single mother of two children facing eviction from her home in Bilbao.
Princess Letizia, wife of Prince Felipe, heir to the Spanish throne, learned of the woman's plight during a visit to a soup kitchen and immediately contacted the justice ministry.
The ministry cannot directly intercede in the eviction process but it could influence the woman's legal efforts to stay in her home, or at least obtain low-cost government housing, ThinkSpain said Saturday.
The woman, identified in the report only as Nieves, is being kicked out of her apartment by the owners, who are also the parents of her estranged husband. ThinkSpain said the woman left her husband because he was allegedly violent.
ThinkSpain said the in-laws want her out of the apartment so their son can move in.

Hey Buanzito! I've just downloaded this new crap of yours. Looks decent :p Now I have a couple of questions for your "beered-hacks0r" brain...
First of all: Is this plugin using the GUI protocol or just talking to core through web interface?
If using web interface then my requirement is viable. If not, stop reading
OK, I access my mldonkey web interface through SSL from another server running apache, making use of mod_proxy to do the http forwarding.
Now I wonder if there is any possibilities to make DonkeyFire support this kind of connection.
And I have also another question. Does DonkeyFire have proxy support?
