The John D. Catherine MacArthur Foundation will honour Justice J. Goldstone, former Chief Prosecutor of the International Criminal Tribunals for Rwanda and the former Yugoslavia with the MacArthur Award for International Justice, Foundation President Jonathan Fanton revealed yesterday in a statement made available to Sunday Trust.
The award will be conferred on Goldstone in The Hague on 21st May, 2009. Earlier that day, there will be a panel of discussion on "The Legacy of the International Criminal Tribunals and International Systems." According to the statement, the award provides Goldstone with $100 000 for his own work and invites him to suggest an additional $500 000 in support for non-profit organisations working on international justice issues.
The statement added that "as Chief Prosecutor of the Tribunals for Rwanda and the former Yugoslavia, Goldstone helped shepherd these courts, the first of their kind since Nazi war criminals were tried at the Nuremberg following World War2. In 1995, Goldstone filed charges of genocide and crimes against humanity against Bosnian Serb leaders Radovan Karadzic and Ratko Mladic for their roles in the ethnic cleansing of Bosnian Muslims, among other allegations."
It has been gathered that prior to his appointment as Chief Prosecutor in 1994, he was chair of the Commission of Inquiry Regarding Public Violence and Intimidation (referred to as the Goldstone Commission) in the aftermath of apartheid in his native South Africa. His service on the Commission proved invaluable to the democratic transition in the country, where he also served as an inaugural member of the Constitutional Court.
"Justice Goldstone has played an instrumental role in building the emerging international system of justice. He gave the tribunals moral authority and legal credibility. It is, in large part a testament to the quality of his work that the international community accepted the Rome Statue and established the International Criminal Court with confidence. His unquestioned competence and integrity won the faith of the world," Fanton remarked.
The statement also indicated that in selecting Goldstone, the Foundation's Board of Directors cited his role in the development of the modern era of international justice. As Chief prosecutor, he insisted on the independence of counsel and judges, transparency in the establishment of facts in each case, due process for the accused, and the importance of first-hand testimony from witnesses and surviving victims. "His clarity of vision and meticulous approach brought to justice both a degree of resolution to victims and a new model for the prosecution of crimes against humanity."
"It is an honour to receive the MacArthur Award for International Justice, as the Foundation has been a leader in supporting efforts to advance human rights and international justice," Goldstone responded.
The Award honours individuals and organisations that have been transformative forces in the fields of human rights and international justice; improved existing-or helped to create new-institutions, norms, and systems of international justice and demonstrated long-term commitment and made a significant personal contribution to advancing international justice.

Guerreo Negro Whales
A tourists day.
What a day, being close to the timeline somehow we got mixed up and we set or alarm for 7.00 am for the 8.00 am start of the tour.
Somehow we managed to stuff things up and set our alarm right but did not check the time on the phone thus we got up at 8 for our 8 Oclock tour.... FAIL!!
Anyway, the hotel we were staying at also ran the tour and they too were slightly late so we gobbed some breaky down and took off.
Mum nature delivered us a perfect day (other than bloody cold) for whale watching, on arriving at the lagoon a quick recovery of the delivery ute was in order as this was used to ferry people out to the boat and back.
That done we set off out to watch these beauties gracefully glide through the water with the occasional playful tail splash and heads bobbing out of the water.
The ship
We spent a total of about 3 hours out on the water which was so cool.
You would think it was cold or something
Part way back is the slat mine, an added bonus with some kickarse big machinery

Spot the D9R bully on the top
On returning back to Guerrero Negro we were running late, I was still feeling like crap so we decided to stay another night here and set off in the morning instead.
This also gave us the chance to write up today then we are all but square, Wifi will get harder south so we have to make the most of it when we have it.

From the article: The Benefits of Using Multiple Subwoofers
One subwoofer in a stereo system may produce enough bass for the average sized room, however multiple subwoofers can greatly improve bass quality by preventing room resonances and distributing bass evenly throughout the listening room. Have you installed mutliple subwoofers in your stereo system and if so, did it improve the quality of the bass? Share your experiences.
Multiple Subwoofers
- I thought I had achieved the best bass with four subwoofers just a short time ago....I was hooked....has anyone notice when walk into a home theater shop you'll notice really good bass from about 20 or 30 feet away...well I had one extra sub and my living room has a dining room connected I use for my home business....so I hooked the fifth sub in that room about 22 feet away while my other subs are about 8 to 10 feet away....and the fifth sub was a magic number....and being further away let the bass waves really work with the other subs with more ambience...and depth....my Home Theater sounds absolutely huge now....with the deepest bass I've ever experienced....I have two Paradigm signatures and three paradigm 2200 subs....amazing....try it....you'll love it...even though it sounds likes its overkill...but it actually controls the room much better....
- —Guest Gregory S
- I have 3 powerful subs in a rather small "L" shaped room and I'm very dissappointed in the sub performance.I can't seem to get the 3 of them all phased right(I don't think) and the base response is MUCH better outside the room rather than in the room. With 3 big 15"1000 watt subs working I'd expect to be able to blow out walls-but the base is weak and I'm SOOO dissappointed. What do I do?Some body help me,please.I've got a lot of money tied up in sub woofers with terrible performance.I know placement is important and I've tried all that stuff too.How can the base sound so much better outside the room rather than in my room.I'm just so disgusted with this mess! What am I doing wrong?It almost seems like the sub channel on the receiver is weak even though I've had it checked out.
- —Guest Frank Repko
Multiple Subwoofers
- I've used two subwoofers for a long time...but curiosity finally got me...and I hooked up four subs...all Paradigm...and I'm addicted...the bass is so smooth and even and goes low without any effort...it gave a really powerful feel and full bass satisfaction...especially since I like my crossovers at 50 hz...80 hz and above has never worked for me...I have two Paradigm signatures and two Paradigm 2200's...home theater sounds great now...thanks...
- —Guest Gregory S
Great article
- What I liked about is your advise on picking two subwoofers on price. "The improvement in bass response with multiple subwoofers is so apparent I would advocate purchasing multiple subs, even if it means spending less on each one." Believe it or not - I experimented with two $75 subs sony 10-inch. I have a receiver with Audyssey MultEQXT. I haven't heard such great sounding bass sofar. (except one place - imax theater). Having this kind of great sound in my own living room is awesome! btw, now I am able to pair these cheap babies with Magnepan MMGs. Music and movies sound incredible. Before to this I used to have $400 12 inch sub from one of the company sells only from internet. Two subwoofers rule.
- —Guest Nag
- I have 2 deftech towers with 8" internal subs and a deftech center with 8" sub. I had 2 other 8" subs laying around and tried them out. These did produce obviously tighter bass but they never sounded integrated. I then removed the sub and tried an old 12" Atlantic Tech sub and WOW!! I placed it in a rear corner about 2 feet from my back wall. I then popped in the dts version of Jurassic Park III and the sound actually scared the **** out of me. Finally, deep visceral rumbling without any booming. My room is 12X14 with tile floors. I put a piece of carpet under the sub and then a large circular styrofoam float under my couch - what a difference. I have to thank Gary for this idea when he reviewed acoustic treatment modules. Happy days are here again. I finally figured a way to get my wife out of the house::))
- —Guest Mikem
2 subs !!
- I have 2 of these babys 1 to the left of my wall and 1 behind my recliner in the back wall, and i tell you its like the recliner vibrates ,awsome you should try it and the receiver does not have to have 2 pre-outs 1 rca jack with a piggy back rca jack
- —Guest voorhees,j
re multiple sub woofers
- I have two Altec Lansing Venencia Voice of the Theatre front speakers with 15" woofers and huge sectoral horns, Klipsch 7.1 surrounds and a 15" Velodyne sub which retailed for $2400. It is enough to lift the house from its foundation. Produces incredible tight , musical bass. Nothing more required.

Christmas reminds us of all the sweet red candy canes, the glistening green Christmas tree, white snow and everything colourful. So we thought of giving our Chic Factor girls a Nail treat. We assure you, this is the simplest Nail Art DIY which makes it all the more endearing.
Nail Lacquers in different shades. We used- Jasmine green, ruby red, white, sparkly pastel blue, black, golden and silver.
Nail art pens or toothpick
Scotch or normal tape
We'll do the nail art in two parts. First, putting the coats and then decorating it.
Start off with a base coat to protect your natural nails. Let it dry completely!
Nail 1- Paint jasmine green (Look at the figure above)
Nail 2- Cut a scotch or a normal tape and paste it diagonally on nail 2. Paint the uncovered portion ruby red.
Nail 3 and Nail 4- Paint them ruby red
Nail 5- Paint it white
Make sure nails are COMPLETELY DRY before your proceed to Part II
Nail 1- Use the head of the toothpick and immerse it in white paint. (You can take out a few drops on a paper). Make alternate dots each time you immerse the head in the paint.
After it's dry, make tiny dots with ruby red inside white dots. Use the same procedure.
Nail 2- Remove the tape and carefully apply sparkly pastel blue shade on the second half of diagonal.
After it's dry, make a diagonal line with golden shade using the tip of the toothpick.
Nail 3- Make tiny alternative dots in white using the tip of the toothpick. Leave a gap in the middle for the zig-zag line.
After it's dry, make zig-zag in white using the tip of the toothpick.
Nail 4- Using a black nail art pen or a toothpick, make a curve like shown in the figure.
After it's dry, make dots in silver on the black curve. See the figure.
Nail 5- Make diagonal lines in ruby red using the tip of the toothpick.
Voila! You're done! Isn't it just a two Step process? A coat and some cute art-work.
Go paint your nails and share with us on our facebook page. We might feature you if we like it!

Michigan Rep. Maureen Stapleton, D-Detroit, shifted careers.
- Filed Under
She's the daughter of a Detroit Public Schools teacher and a Detroit police officer and has been around politics since she could walk. Her parents were involved in helping friends who ran for public office.
Still, Maureen Stapleton wanted to understand more about civics. Like her late mom, Stapleton was a DPS schoolteacher and became a municipal consultant when she decided to apply to the Michigan Political Leadership Program in 2004.
"In addition to learning more about the issues of the state, I also learned from the best campaign folks in the state," said Stapleton of the unique 10-month program.
It prepared her for a shift in her career that drew her to politics.
"I had to sit in a 10-minute interview with a panel of reporters including capital beat reporter Tim Skubick," Stapleton said. "Talk about scary! They shot questions so fast I thought my head was spinning. But I can tell you that experience helped me prepare for dealing with Mr. Skubick now that I am in the state House. He can't make me as nervous now!"
Stapleton, 46, a Democrat, ran and won in Michigan's fourth district in 2010.
Nearly half of MPLP graduates have held elected office or been around politics including Macomb County Executive Mark Hackel, Detroit City Councilman Ken Cockrel, Jamie Clover Adams (Michigan's agriculture director) and Sara Wurfel (Gov. Rick Snyder's press secretary).
As it has done every year since 1992, MPLP is putting out the call for 24 people who are interested in joining its upcoming class, which begins in February. Applications are being accepted through Aug. 31.
"MPLP is the entry ticket to many political offices," said Steve Tobocman, MPLP co-director and former majority floor leader.
"People tend to look more to MPLP as a stepping stone to an expanded career, to broaden their perspective from grassroots to statewide positions, to enhance their own knowledge and understanding of public policy," added MPLP Co-Director Anne Mervenne, former executive in the administration of Gov. John Engler.
MPLP includes weekend workshops and opportunities to mingle with policy makers.
"Fifteen MPLP graduates now hold seats in the Michigan House of Representatives," said Douglas Roberts, director of MSU's Institute for Public Policy and Social Research, where MPLP is based.
Stapleton made friends at MPLP she works with in Lansing including state Reps. Rudy Hobbs, D-Southfield, and Peter MacGregor, R-Rockford.
Hackel attended MPLP in 1994. "I wanted to learn more about the role politics played in everyday life," said Hackel, who was a sheriff's sergeant then. "I had the opportunity to meet a diverse group of individuals from around the state. It also shows you how to deal with government officials and political activists."
To be considered, MPLP applicants must be at least 18, have a demonstrated interest in public service and a commitment to attend all weekend sessions. Fellowships are tuition-free. But a $1,000 administrative fee is requested for the certificate program.
For more: www.ippsr.msu.edu/MPLP/Recruitment.htm or 517-353-0891.

For those of you just coming off last night's vice-presidential debate, you're probably realizing that all the action and knock-out blows took place not in the Steelers-Titans game, but between Joe Biden and Paul Ryan.
You're probably also wondering where in all that's sacred was President Obama with all this gusto last week and, well, it's probably because President Obama chose the scrappy but thoughtful sparring partner from Scranton as his VP in order to say the things that he can't. Obama gets to be the lofty JFK, whereas Biden gets to be RFK; that is, the fiery, witty and loquacious defender of Obama like RFK was to his more professorial and thoughtful brother. Ryan really stood no chance at weaving all the fantastic fiction and fact-checker wet dream fodder that Romney so effortlessly did during the Presidential debate.
Although the frisky puppy in Paul Ryan bit back, he was ultimately tossed aside by the much more experienced and wiser dog.
While many of Obama's supporters -- and even casual observers -- were scratching their brains in wonder over Obama's lack of hitting Romney back on the very popular democratic 47 percent meme. They could finally put their hands down as Joe Biden used a large chunk of the debate to take on not just Paul Ryan, but Mitt Romney too. Biden brought it up within the first half-hour of the debate, but he didn't just stop there. Biden also took aim at Ryan's smug remark that 30 percent of Americans are parasitic leaches that want the "welfare state" on speed dial.
"It shouldn't be surprising for a guy who says 47 percent of the American people are unwilling to take responsibility of their own lives," said Biden, according to the Huffington Post."My friend [Ryan] recently said in a speech in Washington said 30 percent of the American people are takers. These people are my mom and dad, the people I grew up with, my neighbors. They pay more effective tax than Gov. Romney pays in his federal income tax. They are elderly people who in fact are living off of Social Security. They are veterans who are fighting in Afghanistan right now who are not quote, 'not paying taxes.'"
But Biden certainly wasn't going to stop there. After all, this is a man who famously called Yugoslavian tyrant Slobodan Milosevic a "war criminal" to his face and lampooned Mayor Rudy "I was on TV the most on 9/11" Giuliani on his complete and utter lack of foreign policy qualifications and exploitation of the Sept. 11 attacks. At any rate, Biden wonderfully brought up Grover Norquist, the conservative president of Americans for Tax Reform and practical fiscal terrorist who all Republicans must worship if they wish to remain relevant. Moreover, Biden called out Republicans for consistently signing Norquist's unyielding, uncompromising pledge vowing not to raise a single penny in taxes.
"Instead of signing pledges by Grover Norquist not to ask the wealthiest among us to contribute to bring back the middle class, they should be signing a pledge saying to the middle class, 'We're going to level the playing field. We're going to give you a fair shot again. We are going to not repeat the mistakes we made in the past by having a different set of rules for Wall Street and Main Street.'"
I think Bill Maher said it best when he tweeted, "This isn't the kind of 'feeling the burn' Ryan enjoys." Clearly, Paul Ryan was out of his league and looked like the sniveling, arrogant first-year Poli Sci freshman trying to school the tenured poli-sci professor. Better still, Biden was not going to let Rep. Ryan lie the way Romney did.

SukkahCity Austin Attracts Unique Designs from Lone Star States Texas and Israel
Monday, 01 October 2012
By Tonyia Cone
This Sukkot, Jewish Austinites can include a reimagining and renewal of the sukkah in their holiday celebrations thanks to SukkahCity Austin 2012, the Jewish Community Center of Austin's design competition for students, professional artists, architects and designers of all faiths and backgrounds from the Lone Star States of Texas and Israel.
Sukkot (Feast of Booths/ Feast of Tabernacles) is a weeklong biblical holiday, one of three pilgrimage festivals (Shalosh Regalim) along with Passover and Shavuot when the Children of Israel were commanded to make their way to the Temple in Jerusalem. Agricultural in origin, Sukkot also commemorates the fragile dwellings inhabited by the Israelites during the 40 years of wandering in the desert following the Exodus from slavery in Egypt. Throughout the holiday observant Jews eat meals inside the sukkah and many sleep there as well. On each weekday of the holiday, symbolic blessings are recited over the lulav and etrog, four species of plants mentioned in the Torah.
In order to participate in SukkahCity Austin, competitors submitted contemporary sukkah shelter designs with written descriptions of concept and architectural renderings of a constructible structure.
Eligible sukkot (the plural of sukkah) had to adhere to Talmudic law.
Aliza Orent, director of Jewish Life and Learning at the JCC, explained that SukkahCity Austin was inspired by Reboot's Sukkah City: NYC and SukkahCity STL and served as an extraordinary opportunity to connect the city's Jewish community to a group of people not usually targeted through outreach programs – architects.
Orent noted that finalists were selected by a distinguished jury of architects, designers and critics.
SukkahCity Austin partnered with Technion-Israel Institute of Technology, the WIZO Neri Bloomfield School of Design and Education and the Consulate General of Israel to the Southwest.
Finalists were awarded a $750 grant to be used in the development and implementation of their sukkot, which were built in only two days.
Along with other traditional congregational and community sukkot, the structures were built on the Dell Jewish Community Campus and on the roof of Whole Foods Market at 6th and Lamar.
The sukkot will be on display through October 10.
Austin Jewish Academy, Early Childhood Program and PJ Library events will be held in conjunction with SukkahCity Austin.
Orent explained why Austin was a particularly good fit for SukkahCity.
"Austin is a city in tune with its environment, respectful of the land, and very much into natural habitat and the outdoors," she said.
Applicants were required to address many environmental questions.
The program also appealed to her because it gets people not usually connected to Sukkot thinking outside the box about living a nomadic life in a temporary shelter connected to the Earth.
"I love the idea of how you create and re-imagine an artistic sukkah," said Orent, who has a background in fine arts.
"SukkahCity is a great way to educate people about Sukkot in a non-traditional fashion."
In Israel, the SukkahCity Austin competition was especially promoted at the two Haifa schools, including as part of a "Dynamic Structures" class where students were assigned the task of completing and submitting the project.
Israeli Tamara Ganor, one of the finalists, found the project an especially interesting assignment given that most secular Israelis do not typically build their own sukkot and are not intimately knowledgeable about the Jewish laws involved in designing one. "This was a fascinating project for Tal Levy and me," she said.
The challenge of building a temporary structure and the biblical roots of the holiday, Orent believes, also attracted many Christians to enter the competition.
Janice Miller Abrams, a member of the SukkahCity Austin Committee, pointed out that a sukkah is an inclusive structure that welcomes nature, joyousness, and all people.
"Every aspect of it- from intention to construction to habitation- creates community. To be given the opportunity to design a sukkah and then see that idea realized is compelling to all designers. To address the notions of homelessness, transience, tradition, surroundings, and meditation, to name only a few, are not just Jewish ideas but universal themes," she said.
"I think SukkahCity Austin bumps it up a notch, in terms of combining Jewish life and culture in an artistic and creative way. The JCC features plenty of art displays on the walls and great music and theater, but we've never done anything like this before," Orent concluded.

Demi, who performed at the Latin Gramys alongside newcomer Pablo Alboran, is preparing to release an all-Spanish album sometime in 2012. The set will feature Spanish language adaptations of Lovato's hits in English. The adaptations are by Edgar Cortazar and Mark Portman, who are also producing the album. This marks the first time since Christina Aguilera's 2000 album "Mi Reflejo" that an English-language mainstream artist will release a set of Spanish language adaptations.
**CORRECTION: While a Disney spokesperson confirmed that Demi Lovato has recorded a Spanish-language version of the song "Skyscrapers" ("Rascacielos"), she told Billboard.biz that a full album is not in the works.

IBM backs Firefox in-house
- Related Stories
IBM on the hunt for Firefox programmersApril 13, 2005
Growth rate slips for Firefox usageFebruary 28, 2005
Firefox is already used by about 10 percent of IBM's staff, or about 30,000 people. Starting Friday, IBM workers can download the browser from internal servers and get support from the company's help desk staff.
IBM's commitment to Firefox is among its most prominent votes of confidence from a large corporation. Based on development work by the nonprofit Mozilla Foundation, Firefox has been downloaded by more than 50 million people since it debuted in November. Internet Explorer still dominates the overall market by far, though, with Firefox's share in the single digits.
For IBM, the move is a significant step in lessening dependence on a product from rival Microsoft.
By supporting Firefox internally, IBM is also furthering its commitment to open-source products based on industry standards, said Brian Truskowski, chief information officer at IBM.
"This is a real good example of walking the talk when it comes it comes to open standards and open source," Truskowski said.
Because Firefox is based on industry standards--as opposed to proprietary technology--IBM has some "comfort" that it will interoperate well with third-party products, Truskowski said. By contrast, Microsoft's Internet Explorer uses some proprietary technology, such as ActiveX for running programs within a browser.
"What I will avoid is anything that is proprietary in nature," Truskowski said.
The company is training its help-desk staff on Firefox and certifying that internal applications will work with the browser, he said.
Truskowski expects that Firefox will ultimately end up costing IBM less than IE because the company can use open-source additions to Firefox. "I hope in making a small investment up front, I can leverage that innovation going forward," he said.
Stacy Quandt, an analyst at the Robert Frances Group, said that IBM's endorsement of Firefox internally aligns with the company's strategy of backing open-source products based on standards. It may also give other companies reason to "pay attention to" Firefox and see it as an alternative to Internet Explorer.

- Smart move
- Yup IBM has some really good IT counselling or something. A bit late but a good move nonetheless.

- And the move matches what I see.
- I can as an example my company ~400 people.
R&D department in two days was completely converted from IE to Ff. With other departments slowly influenced by R&D. IT department is inadequate here - so they are probably only IE users left inhouse.
I can estimate that about 80% of stuff uses solely Ff for both intranet & internet.
Ff penetration is completely grass root movement, as I see it. People just install another browser, enjoy new experience and share that with others. A company is quite closed environment and good news are spreading very fast inside.

- IBM's own Lotus Sametime Meeting requires IE/Microsoft JVM
- We use Lotus Sametime for internal chat and Sametime meeting for internal meetings and screen sharing. Sametime Meeting utilizes java and a web browser. Unfortunately, the requirements are

If you use Sun JVM, you are out of luck. If you use any other browser, you are out of luck.
I wonder if they will ever release a version that works correctly on Firefox/Sun JVM.

- Someone is behind the curve on this.... I was very excited to read the news story about MOZILLA/FIREFOX being available internally in IBM.... until I went to our internal tools website and found multiple MAJOR internal tools explicitly do NOT allow use of any browser but IE.
I would be delighted to be able to completely abandon IE, but it is still required internally to submit expenses, make travel reservations, or print anything (set up network printers), you still need to use IE.

- All in time.
- I don't think its fair to assume or think simply allowing FF's use means the company or entire sections of the company have started to totally abandon IE. It will take time until some things work as they should using it. My own line of work doesn't let me use FF yet for getting into our Intranet remotely. However I know its only a matter of time before we can use it.
More to the point, if there is a lesson here, it is that companies are learning they have to be on the FF boat to deal with other companies. That specific aspect of FF's growing popularity means the growth of use won't slow anytime soon.

- IBM supports Firefox
- I found the article to be accurate. I've been using Firefox since it first became available. What changed recently was its addition to a tools repository for the general users.
There are some web pages and tools that require IE, that's true, but those are easily handled. FireFox has an extension called IEVIEW. When I run into a page that requires IE (and those are the exception rather than the rule) I just click IEVIEW to open the same page in the MSIE browser.

- Is this a case of users - not developers
- Can anyone (who admits to working at IBM) clarify if it's not just a case of promoting the use of Firefox for ordinary personnel - but having developers that HAVE to use IE, on the basis that anything that IBM develops HAS to work on the most commonly used web browser ?

- School tried converting to Firefox...
- Someone smart at my Highschool had converted most of the desktops to Firefox and installed Spybot and Ad-Aware.
But low and behold, someone convinced the school we needed new comps to replace the already good 1.6 GHz p4
256 mb ram
ATI Rage 128 Pro agp 4x
Windows 2000
Office 2000, some had office XP
Here are the replacements-
2.4 GHz pentium 4
256 mb ram
Intel integrated crap video
Windows XP Pro
Office 2003
And they are crippled. IE, and office with NO antispyware programs, and whoever set the privelages is stupid because they just made the program files folder off limits to non-admins. (You just install stuff to c: if you want to)
I think microsoft made a lot of money off of this.
Not to mention the new comps are very poorly built and run EXTREMELY hot.
- Like Reply Link Flag
- Not ALL bad
- Well -
No increase in RAM. I would definitely need more. But in school, the demands may not be the same - especially if games aren't what they're intended for.
CPU - a bit slow by todays standards. Should have made them cheap to buy. Again, if not game playing, may be OK.
Integrated video - means, they didn't spend the extra on new plug-in bopards. Maybe just about acceptable, if you're not game playing. If they didn't sell/trash the old machines, maybe they'll migrate the old cards. I like integrated hardware features as a fallback, so I can test any new machine I'm building, and I can assume the integrated feature is now going to be the cause of any problem. Whereas, if I build a new machine and have lots of issues, the video card could be causing some and even be preventing me from seeing other, more elemental errors.
Windows 2000 was pretty good. I used it alot. But the change to XP PRO is definitely really worthwhile. And I certainly prefer XP Pro to XP home.
Office 2003 is a pretty fine product too. Not without issues. But one of the best Office products that M$ have created.
A respectable reviewer called Outlook 2003 "the king of email clients". I wouldn't go that far, but it's pretty decent. After I accumulated my list of Safe Senders, my Outlook 2003 correctly identifies about 80 spams per day, with no false positives.
As for running hot - mine (5 PC's) all run hot. Once I got over about 2.0 P4, they ALL run hot. I have one machine right now running a 3.0 P4 on an Intel 865GBF(LK) m/board and running Intel Active Monitor shows despite a pair of 120mm, an 80mm & standard CPU fan, it's always running close to default thresholds. I've tinkered with airflow, inside the case & experimented with additional expansion slot fans & added extra cooling for my Radeon 9800XT. New 64-bit processors are appearing - but not sure why people would use them yet until we get Longhorn. Perhaps they do actually deal with the heat issue better, through better architecture?
So - all in all looks a bit of a bit of a questionable upgrade. But then, I don't know the particular specifications that were established for what would be expected of the new machines. I wouldn't do this sort of upgrade - I'd wait until I could afford a bigger jump in performance. But then, I'm not a school.
Just tell me - you DO have some virus & firewall software install.......right ? If not, everything else is academic (if you'll excuse the pun).
BTW - my machine in highschool had 1K of RAM. So you can guess just how long ago that was :-)
- Like Link Flag
- Just to be different.
- If I had been the smart guy working for your school I would have opted for AMD procs, 256mb - 512mb ram, a cheap nVidia or ATI video card, and WinXP Pro. I would have also installed a network version on an antivirus program and firewall. I would have made all computers log into a windows domain (if the server was available).
As far as the office application goes I would have use WordPerfect Office 12. The new SBS version comes with an e-mail client that can work with Exchange servers and from what I hear it's pretty nice (probably would have been good enough for a school). I also prefer word processors that actually allow you to get to the under belly of the document to make changes. Having had to use both Office apps I can say that WordPerfect is easier to use than Word. I know the Most of the Office users will disagree, but that's because most of them haven't ever used anything other than Office.

Library thank you Citizens Committee for a New Arlington Library
A big thank you for all the voters who voted in favor of the New Arlington Library Bond on May 20. The majority, albeit, not a super majority, do want a new library and were willing to support it with a few cents a month.
Unfortunately for the community of Arlington, 60 percent of the voters do not prioritize something as valuable as an adequate library.
I so appreciated all who helped in so many ways in our attempt to pass the library bond proposal, especially those who contributed financially and who gave an untold amount of time. Words cannot express my heartfelt thanks. Neither can words express my deep disappointment in the outcome of the election.

Lentils are a staple ingredient in South Asian cuisine. Clockwise from upper right: split red lentils, common green whole lentils, and Le Puy lentils both with their outer coats visible
|Main ingredients
|Lentils, peas or beans
|Cookbook: Dal Media: Dal
Dal (IPA: [d̪aːl]) is a dried pulse (lentil, pea or various types of bean) which has been split. It is called bele in Kannada and pappu, paripu or paruppu in Telugu and Tamil.
The outer hull is usually stripped off; dal that has not been hulled is described as chilka (skin), e.g. chilka urad dal, mung dal chilka.[1][2] The word dal is also used to name the thick stew prepared from these pulses, an important part of Indian, Nepali, Pakistani, Sri Lankan, West Indian and Bangladeshi cuisine. It is regularly eaten with rice in southern India, and with both rice and roti (wheat-based flat bread) throughout northern India and Pakistan as well as Bangladesh, East India, and Nepal where Dal Bhat (literally: dal and rice) is the staple food for much of the population. Dal is a ready source of proteins for a balanced diet containing little or no meat. Sri Lankan cooking of dal resembles that of southern Indian dishes.
The word dāl derives from the Sanskrit verbal root dal- "to split".[3] Dal is sometimes referred to generically as a "dal bean" rather than, say, "urad dal"[citation needed].
Usage in South Asia[edit]
Dal preparations can be eaten with rice, as well as Indian breads in North India. In India, it is eaten with rice and with a wheat flatbread called roti. The manner in which it is cooked and presented varies by region. In South India, dal is primarily used to make the dish called sambar. It is also used to make pappu that is mixed with charu and rice.
Dal has an exceptional nutritional profile.[citation needed] It provides an excellent source of protein, particularly for those adopting vegetarian diets or diets which do not contain much meat. It is typically around 25% protein by weight, giving it a comparable protein content to meats. It is also high in carbohydrates whilst being virtually fat-free. It is also rich in the B vitamins thiamine and folic acid, as well as several minerals, notably iron and zinc.
Common varieties[edit]
- Toor dal, i.e. yellow pigeon peas, is available either plain or oily. It is called thuvaram paruppu in Tamil Nadu and is the main ingredient for the dish sambar. In Karnataka it is called togari bele and is an important ingredient in bisi bele bath. Toor Dal is called kandi pappu in Telugu and is used in the preparation of a staple dish pappu charu. It is also known as Arhar dal.
- Chana dal is produced by removing the outer layer of kala chana (black chickpeas) and then splitting the kernel. Although machines can do this, it can also be done at home by soaking the whole chickpeas and removing the loose skins by rubbing. Other varieties of chickpea may also be used, e.g. kabuli dal.
- Yellow split peas, are very prevalent in the Indian communities of Fiji Islands, Guyana and Trinidad, and are popular amongst Indians in the United States as well as India. There, it is referred to generically as dal and is the most popular dal, although masoor dal and toor dal are also used. It is prepared similarly to dals found in India, but also may be used in a variety of other recipes.
- Mung dal or moong dal, split mung beans, is by far the most popular in Bangladesh. It is also used in parts of South India, such as in the Tamil dish ven pongal. Roasted and lightly salted or spiced moong dal is a popular snack in most parts of India.
- Urad dal, sometimes referred to as "black gram", is the main ingredient of the Tamil Nadu (South Indian state) dishes idli and dosa. It is also one of the main ingredients of East Indian (oriya and Bengali or Assamese) bori, sun-dried dumplings. The Punjabi version is dal makhani. In Karnataka, it is called uddina bele. It is rich in protein.
- Masoor dal is split red lentils. In Karnataka, it is called kempu (red) togari bele.
- Rajma dal - split kidney beans.
- Mussyang is from dals of various colours found in various hilly regions of Nepal.
- Panchratna dal ("five jewels") is a mixture of five varieties of dal, which produces a dish with unique flavour.
- Various pulses may be split but not hulled; they are distinguished from hulled dal by adding the word chilka (skin).
Split and whole pulses[edit]
Although dal generally refers to split pulses, whole pulses are known as sabit dal and split pulses as dhuli dal.[4][citation needed] The hulling of a pulse is intended to improve digestibility and palatability, but as with milling of whole grains into refined grains, affects the nutrition provided by the dish, reducing dietary fibre content.[5] Pulses with their outer hulls intact are also quite popular in India and Pakistan as the main cuisine. Over 50 different varieties of pulses are known in India and Pakistan.
Preparing dal[edit]
Most dal recipes are quite simple to prepare. The standard preparation begins with boiling a variety of dal (or a mix) in water with some turmeric, salt to taste, and then adding a fried garnish at the end of the cooking process. In some recipes, tomatoes, tamarind, unripe mango, or other ingredients are added while cooking the dal, often to impart a sour flavour.
The fried garnish for dal goes by many names, including chaunk and tadka. The ingredients in the chaunk for each variety of dal vary by region and individual tastes. The raw spices (more commonly cumin seeds, mustard seeds, asafoetida, and sometimes fenugreek seeds and dried red chili pepper) are first fried for a few seconds in the hot oil on medium/low heat. This is generally followed by ginger, garlic, and onion, which are generally fried for 10 minutes. After the onion turns golden brown, ground spices (turmeric, coriander, red chili powder, garam masala, etc.) are added. The chaunk is then poured over the cooked dal.

I remember when I was 12, I broke my wrist speed skating the same day I'd gotten the cast off from breaking my wrist cycling. And that was the second time I'd broken my wrist speed skating!
Today I'm an orthopedic surgeon myself, in Utah, and I find medical science has the answers to many of the fitness questions I had as an Olympian, a competitive cyclist and, yes, as a parent of two kids myself, questions that my patients also bring to me.
As we head into winter, a time when many families slow their level of activity, it seemed the perfect time to start sharing that fitness information with other families.
A recent study of children around the world, in fact, suggests that we all need to embrace winter sports with greater gusto. Researchers from the National Institute for Health and Welfare in Helsinki found that children under 15 are more likely to develop Type 1 diabetes in winter. (Type 1 diabetes is often referred to as life-long or insulin-dependent diabetes.)
According to Elena Moltchanova, Ph.D., who led the study, published in the August issue of the journal Diabetes Medicine, the research doesn't point directly to the cause of this seasonal peak in pediatric diabetes; however, a decrease in kids' activity in winter may well be a contributor.
Here are some overall fitness tips for families that cover all seasons:
- Don't steer your children away from sports for fear of injury. In doing so, we may risk causing them long-term physical harm due to lack of exercise. Recent statistics on obesity tell the tale: far too many kids are suffering the consequences of inactivity.
- Learn about those sports that cause the most and worst injuries, and find alternatives you feel good about your kids playing. Only a few sports, like tackle football, were off-limits in our family. Dad understood the consequences of a serious knee injury. Instead, my parents let us play hockey.
- Support your children in their interests. Growing up, we were encouraged to play lots of sports. Today, my kids do, too. They swim, ski, ride bikes and play lots of outdoor hockey with Dad.
- Don't force your kids into any sport, but urge them to keep going when others might be quitting or giving up -- wise advice for sports and for life.
- Support the groups and associations that support your kids' interests, and never badger the coaches. My parents were big backers of the U.S. Speed Skating Association.
- If your child should suffer an injury, ask your doctor for treatment options that don't sideline your child from all activity. One time, my dad set a hockey player's broken wrist while he was holding a stick, so it would be in the right position for him to play with the cast on. When I broke my leg bike riding, Dad made a long-leg cast set with a top part I could remove to keep riding.
- Be sure your kids see you active and engaged in sports. The value you place on activity in your own life will be mirrored in theirs.
( Eric Heiden, M.D., a five-time Olympic Gold medalist speed skater, is now an orthopedic surgeon in Utah. He co-authored "Faster, Better, Stronger: Your Fitness Bible" (HarperCollins) with exercise performance physician Max Testa, MD, and DeAnne Musolf. www.heidenorthopaedics.com)

Pregnant Holly Madison: I Don't Want My Daughter to Pose For Playboy
Holly Madison hopes her future-daughter won't follow in her footsteps!
The expectant mama recently told In Touch magazine that although she became famous for posing naked in Playboy, she doesn't want the same fate for her soon-to-be born baby.
"I don't think people are treated with respect in that environment," the model said. "I'm from a small town and you grow up seeing people like Jenny McCarthy or Pamela Anderson, who made it big after doing Playboy. You think it's this glamorous thing until you realize you're judged for it."
"Luckily kids don't want to be like their parents, so I don't think she'll see anything cool or rebellious about posing for Playboy," she added. "I'm down for whatever direction in life she wants to go but I think she can do better."
Holly may not be able to erase her Playboy days, but she is planning to set a good example for her daughter from here on out. The 32-year-old says her own Playboy days are long gone.
"Have a child on the way changes your perspective," she said. "You want to do things that will make them proud of you."

Ok, I think that some people talked about this band in other topics...
But what do you think of this band ?
I know this band, but everytime I hrad it, woow that's sound really like KoRn, same sound, same voice... Some people (I've seen it on internet) say that they have no credibility to do what they do, all the band had the same gimmicks, they had the same instruments (Ibanez, Tama...) from KoRn, even their videos are like KoRn's videos... You can see it here :
Flymore - all the time I bled
I like it, it's strange caus' it's really close to KoRn, but for me, an old fans of KoRn, I like it, really.. How do you think about it ? And what KoRn thinks about that ? I wasn't abble to find anything about what Jon, Fieldy, or other member thinks about that..

Mount Pros Low Profile Dual Arm Articulating LED LCD Plasma TV Tilt Flat Wall Mount for 32-60 Inch TV - M-PB111M
Learn more about Mount Pros Low Profile Dual Arm Articulating LED LCD Plasma TV Tilt Flat Wall Mount for 32-60 Inch TV:
|This low profile dual arm articulating TV wall mount for 32-60 inch TVs is the slimmest solution to mount LED, LCD, and plasma televisions to the wall. The dual arm provides the option to pull the TV away from wall and swivel side to side, but offers balanced weight distribution. The mount is constructed for balanced mounting and extends up to 20 inches from the wall to the back of the TV when fully extended and is only a slim 2.45 inches to the wall when TV is fully retracted making this a ultra low profile articulating mount. This TV mount allows for up to 12 degrees of downward tilt. It enables the TV to be viewed in different angles, ideal for mounting televisions in corners, and also provides easy access to cables attached to the back of the TV. This mount is made of heavy duty steel and comes with all the necessary hardware for most TVs. The back wall plate is for studs up to 18 inches apart. Please look at the back of your HDTV, if the horizontal mounting holes are equal or less than 30 inches and vertical mounting holes are equal or less than 19 inches than this mount will work perfect for you.
Customer Reviews of Mount Pros Low Profile Dual Arm Articulating LED LCD Plasma TV Tilt Flat Wall Mount for 32-60 Inch TV
A great wall mount3/5/2013
This mount installed very easily although its heavy and requires 2 people to attach to the wall. It hugs the wall better than traditional swivel/tilt mounts. I would recommend this product.
Piece of Junk2/22/2013
I installed the mount yesterday and the mount is very unstable. Despite the mount being installed leveled on the wall, the TV is still unleveled. The TV mount on the articulating arms is lose. Also the articulating arms themselves are super tight. It is impossible to pull the TV in and out without some serious muscle strength. I am afraid I am going to crack the LED panel if I apply too much force. I am absolutely dissatisfied with the mount and would like to return it as I believe it to be defective and poor design.

on busine$$ practices
Imagine you are a huge software manufacturer and you're looking for a foolproof way to get people to stop using the old versions of your software. Rather than just cut off support for the product, which wouldn't really convince the majority of users to convert to your new version of the software, why not unleash a virus that would threaten to render the users' machines useless unless they convert to the new version of the software? I mean, after all, most virus-creators are never caught anyway, so where's the risk?
The copy for the advisory would write itself: Those using older versions of the software are extremely vulnerable to this new virus, which we cannot issue a patch for because
we essentially wrote it and we want people to get infected it would likely mess up all your other applications to do so and we don't want to waste our programmers' time on something we don't want to fix anyway it is just a more efficient, productive solution for you to upgrade your software. However, if you insist on using this outdated software, there is a temporary port-blocking workaround that will protect you but rest assured new strains of our virus will find ways around this.
I know it's best to upgrade software as much as possible, but when the upgrades start costing around $200, that can get more than a little cost-prohibitive and irritating. And these are the people who said open source software makes systems more vulnerable to attack? Why not try converting your own to open source so maybe you can put out a more solid, reliable product from the get-go instead of issuing patches every month and getting users accustomed to that being an acceptable business practice?

On a night when political eyes were on the Great State of Texas – where once, before George W. Bush (and Karl Rove) and Rick Perry, the funny and great straight pro-gay Democrat Ann Richards was governor – where good ole Southern Christian boys helped Mormon Mitt Romney clinch the nomination to be the Republican presidential nominee —three Latina lesbians also won their primaries.
The Gay & Lesbian Victory Fund reported Wednesday morning that Mary E. Gonzalez won
a decisive Democratic primary to represent District 75 in the Texas House of Representatives. Gonzalez faces no Republican opponent in November, meaning she will win the El Paso seat and become the state's only openly LGBT lawmaker.
Also winning were Dallas County Sheriff Lupe Valdez and Travis County District Attorney Rosemary Lehmberg.
Of Gonzalez's win, Victory Fund CEO Chuck Wolfe said:
This is a big victory for Mary, for El Paso and for Texas. The people of El Paso will be represented by a talented and committed fighter who knows how to get things done in Austin. And LGBT Texans will be represented by an authentic voice in the Capitol, standing up and speaking out for fairness and freedom for all.
According to the Victory Fund, "Gonzalez will become just the second openly LGBT individual to serve in the Texas legislature. (The first, former State Rep. Glen Maxey, served from 1991 to 2003.) Her win will shrink the number of state legislatures – currently 17 – with no openly LGBT lawmakers."

"I haven't seen that, I haven't heard that," McMillan said. "But that would be surprising."
Crawford saw Roy in Seattle over the All-Star break, but the recently retired former All-Star did not mention the possibility.
"I read it on HoopsHype like everybody else," Crawford said. "It caught me off guard, too."
Roy is not eligible to return to the Blazers until his current contract, which the team used their amnesty clause on, expires in 2015.
