You guys know what this page is for – although with SOAW ending, it might get more quiet here since there will only be O brothers and PTB to post previews and stuff about 🙂
Let's see if this page loads better now – Thundie can get over 800 comments on one page without a problem so I have no idea why these comments keep going to the middle and stuff. It's like the bermuda triangle for comments getting lost.
Trying desperately to catch up with O brothers, but time is not on my side. Might have to do some super short summaries and forsake detailed translations till I can work on them every mon and tues till I eventually catch up – wish me luck. 🙂

Do you have a ton of photos that you want to show in a map? Worried your pictures will soon fade away from the home page of panoramio to some hard to find page?
Now you can restrict the photos in panoramio to those of a particular user.
See for instance, the pictures taken by Eduardo. Or see them in a single page if the map thing does not suit you.
If you found hard to follow the comments people dropped on your photos, you only have to check now your Panoramio page (sign in and then click on your name in the home page). There you will see your latest pictures and the comments people have done to your photos.

Program for 4 days of Violin Recitals by pupils of A. Stanley Cayting, Bangor Maine
Undated program for several days of Violin Recitals given by pupils of A. Stanley Cayting. The recitals were held at the Symphony Building, 166 Union Street, May 27 and 28 and June 3 and 4, at 8 o'clock, at Bangor, Maine. I looked online for a birth date for one of the students - Fernald Richards - and found he was born in 1901. I'm guessing the recitals took place around the 1930s.
I found A. Stanley Cayting at Bangor in 1910 and 1930. He appears to have been in Manhattan for the 1920 Census, perhaps at a music academy. On the 1930 Census, he indicated he was a musician with his own studio.
Names of the students on the program:
Frank Sawyer
Sophie Pyzynski
James Katz
Helen Pyzynski
Fred Prescott
Roman Soloby
Robert Lyons
Philip Goos
Peggy Tyler
Clayton Abbott
John Clisham
Richard Ordway
Shirley MacIntosh

I think I could learn a lot by listening to the details of why this is not done. So here goes: Why is it that BLAST is not available for MPI/PVM? I would think clusters would be the prefect host for such an application. Is it there is no need because BLAST is already so fast and no one wants to break the database out onto node-resident disks? Or is it that BLAST is kept running on single processor or shared memory machines BLAST so that the DB is always in memory ready to roll without loading and doing the same for a cluster is not worth it because the same trick is difficult to do on a node given the current way clusters are built? I assume the same is true for FASTA? thanks for the clarification, -- | Robert Heckendorn | We may not be the only | heckendo at cs.uidaho.edu | species on the planet but | http://www.cs.uidaho.edu/~heckendo | we sure do act like it. | CS Dept, University of Idaho | | Moscow, Idaho, USA 83844-1010 |

The Zeal Optics Transcend GPS combine Zeal's experience in optics with Recon Instruments' direct-to-eye information system to give you a pair of goggles that will feed you real-time information, such as your speed, distance and temperature as you hit the slopes.
From the outside the Zeal Optics Transcend GPS look like regular snow goggles, although they were noticeably bulkier than a pair of regular Oakleys we compared them with. They are of course heavier because of the onboard display, battery and associated components, but once on the head we didn't find this to be much of a problem.
The Transcend GPS would be no good if they didn't work first and foremost as goggles and you'll find all the features here you'd expect. A wide adjustable strap is present with grippy lines so it doesn't slip off your helmet and it is well ventilated to avoid the build-up of moisture inside.
There are two anti-fog dual lens options: the SPPX lens is photochromatic, so it will change tint as the conditions change, the SPX model has a fixed tint, but both are polarised to reduce glare and tinted to ensure terrain contrast. These are the only lens options available at the moment, so unlike some conventional goggles, you can't buy a range of options for difference conditions. Unfortunately, despite begging, we we're allowed to fly off for a week to test them in Verbier.
The real gadget geekery lies within the goggles however. On the right-hand side at the bottom is a 320 x 240 pixel resolution display. This display will feed you information from the sensors onboard. Including GPS, pressure, temperature and inertial sensors, it collates this environmental information and feeds it back via the small screen.
When the goggles are in place a quick glance down is all it takes to check out your speed and other details. We found it took a little wiggling to get the goggles in the right place to be able to see all of the screen, but once in place it wasn't a problem. Photographing the display is near impossible because of the location and curvature of the surface, but we found it bright and vibrant enough to read on the move.
The use of icons makes easy to identify what is what once you've spent a little time with them. The main screen can be customised, so you can drop in the icon of your choice which will then relay that set of information. This main "dashboard" screen gives you a graphic speedometer, your actual speed, the GPS, time and battery status and then the extra info of your choice, such as distance, altitude, temperature or vertical odometer.
You can cycle through the other screens to view information from each of the measurements made: your last run stats; the chrono/stopwatch times; max and average speeds; current and max altitude, total change in elevation and total distance covered; coordinates; current, max and min temperatures, and finally you dive into the settings, including the option to turn the display off.
The display is operated via the controls on the right-hands side of the goggles. There are three large buttons, a central power/ok button and up and down arrows to cycle through settings and displays. The buttons are all large enough to operate when wearing gloves.
The central button also serves as a start/stop for the stopwatch. This will then record your timed run, the idea being that you start it at the top of a slope and record the data all the way down. You get your current running time on the dashboard in yellow. Speed is portrayed in green and hitting a max speed will see it dominate the entire screen, so if you have your eyes on the slope you'll notice the change in your peripheral vision so you can glance down and see what speed you hit.
We found the GPS performance to be reasonable. It takes a while to get a solid signal and like many sports GPS systems, it takes a moment to respond to changes in speed. The result is that is sometimes takes a while for your speed to settle, especially if you are changing pace a lot. However, looking at the map data from where we tested it on the road, it was accurate in tracing our route. The Transcend GPS use a system called TrueStats, which uses an algorithm to calculate speed from not only the distance travelled, but the change in altitude. As such, it claims to be a more accurate system for stats on the slope.
The data is all well and good in the goggles and it has an immediacy that you'll lack if you opt for a GPS device on your phone or in your pocket. An alternative would be a wrist mounted device, although again, it isn't as immediate as having it presented right in your goggles. But all the data is wasted if you can't do anything with it. Fortunately you can hook your goggles up to your PC and extract the data, using Recon HQ, and fortunately a previous reviewer left their data in the memory from their trip to Zell Am Zee area, displayed here, which beats our tests from around the English countryside.
On the side of the Zeal Optics Transcend GPS is a Micro-USB connection concealed under a weather-proofed flap. The positioning on the edge of the goggles behind the strap makes it extremely unlikely that it will even become exposed to snow and the flap seemed sturdy enough to stay in place. This is not only used for data extraction, but also charging the on-board 1200mAh battery. It takes between 3 and 5 hours to charge the battery; the battery is cited to give you 6+ hours, a battery meter in the display will let you know the status of the battery.
A quick Adobe Air install, Recon HQ will allow you to connect and download the data from the goggles so you can examine it in more detail. You are then presented with a breakdown of your trips, the runs on that trip, etc, and a large central Google map. This is where the real magic happens as you can then play back your runs. If you wanted to show someone a particular route then you get real-time playback so you can essentially watch yourself moving across the map and view the overlaid statistics at the same time.
It's a great system and it also allows you to export the data as a Google Earth compatible KML file, or share it online with the Recon community, and further to Twitter and Facebook. Compare this to other systems and the presentation is more dynamic than the sort of thing you'd get if you used a wrist mounted solution. Yes, you can get most of the same information from a Garmin Forerunner, but it isn't presented as well, or as usefully for skiiers and snowboarders as you'll find here. You can also view other users' routes from Recon and there is an example here which shows the sort of display you get.
The downside, of course, is the price. Costing you £449.99 (from Firebox.com). That's enough to buy a set of our favourite Oakley A frames, and different lenses, and a separate GPS system. In fact, you've got to be really sold on having that information beamed into your goggles to part with that sort of money. The software helps, but for us, nice as it is, we'd rather put that cash towards a few extra nights in the resort. To protect your investment you do get a hard case.
We also found that frequent glancing at the screen did get a little tiring on the eyes. We're sure you'll get used to this, but we did feel some tightness around the bottom of the eye socket following a long test of the goggles. Admittedly, it does take some effort to work through all the menus, something that you wouldn't get if it's just a quick glance to eye-up your speed.
If you have plenty of cash, then you might not worry about the cost of the Zeal Optics Transcend GPS. But the fact is that this is an expensive pair of goggles and for those that see it as a novelty purchase, you'd probably be better off getting goggles that give you a wider choice of lenses (although we didn't get to test the SPPX lenses, so this might not be totally true), with less bulk. Buying a separate GPS might not be as dynamic on the slopes, but may then be more use off them, i.e., for running or cycling.
But there is a wow factor to the Zeal Optics Transcend GPS goggles. They look good, they were comfortable enough as goggles and will be protected in transit and storage thanks to that hard case.
Thanks to Firebox.com for the loan of the Zeal Optics Transcend GPS.

KDE Strides Ahead While Gnome Stagnates
KDE vs. Gnome: With Age Comes Lard
A few weeks ago, Jack Wallen published a comparison of recent GNOME and KDE releases in which he claims that the desktop flame wars in GNU/Linux were about to reignite, and that KDE would emerge as the loser. It was not the most technically accurate of articles, and the claim of renewed desktop wars was news to me; in the mail forums for Debian, Fedora, and Ubuntu, the uproar over the changes in KDE 4 is over, except for a few die-hards who are sounding increasingly crankish.
Still, Wallen's blog entry and various recent episodes in my own quest for a perfect desktop got me thinking: How do GNOME and KDE compare in spring 2009?
Framing the KDE vs. GNOME Question
The question has never been a easy one to answer. The last time I tried to answer the question, I wimped out and said that the answer depended on what you were looking for.
In many ways, that answer still holds, even if it's not dramatic or very satisfying. Both GNOME and KDE are mature, fully-featured desktops, and the two projects cooperate on common interface standards via freedesktops.org, so the differences between them are often minor. At best, the answer tends to be a careful tallying of the balance sheet, with the victory going to one side or the other on the basis of points rather than any knockout blow.
More importantly, the most obvious difference between the two major free desktops is philosophical. When KDE 4.0 was released, the project showed itself willing to make revolutionary changes, breaking with the past to such an extent that even backwards compatibility was not guaranteed.
User complaints, often loud and abusive, did not so much shift KDE from the direction it was heading as encourage the creation of new mechanisms for gathering user feedback and a reconsideration of how subsequent releases were managed. This reaction might seem high-handed, especially by the egalitarian standards of free and open source software. But, over time, the project's determination seems to be outlasting the complaints about change.
By contrast, as Ryan Paul points out, GNOME has backed away from radical changes in favor of incremental changes. Instead of planning for a 3.0 release, GNOME is opting for a gradual, piece by piece updating that will culminate in a 2.30 release. The change in version numbers is significant: It indicates that, unlike with the KDE 4 series, there will be no major break with past releases. This philosophy was obvious long before it became official last summer, and has the obvious advantage of not alienating users.
These differences are not absolute, of course. For instance, the last two releases of KDE suggest that the project is content to implement usability in an incremental fashion. Similarly, when GNOME-centered distros like Fedora introduced PulseAudio last year, the uproar was a small echo of the complaints over KDE 4.0.
But, in general, the difference in approaches is obvious, and which you prefer says more about your own philosophy than about the advantages or disadvantages of either. With the majority of people tending toward conservatism, many are going to prefer GNOME's gradualism, but, for others, the radical innovation of KDE is always going to hold more appeal. In expressing their own preferences, people are apt to overlook that they are not saying anything objective -- that is, not referring to anything outside themselves. So long as the discussion stays on this level, it can never hope to produce useful answers.
For this reason, I prefer to make the question more specific -- not which desktop is subjectively better, but which developmental approach is likely to be most successful in the next few years?
With this reframing, a more useful answer is possible -- and I would say that, despite some necessary qualifications, the advantage lies with KDE.
The KDE Evolutionary Advantage
I base this statement largely on a single observation. Before KDE 4's release, both KDE and GNOME were struggling under the weight of legacy code and practice. As Andy Wingo wrote last year about GNOME, both desktops were in "a state of decadence."
For instance, Troy Unrau noted that "it got to the point where a simple KDE 'Hello, World!' application would ship 200kb of build system. This complexity made entry into the KDE programming world somewhat daunting for new programmers, and the build system for the core components of KDE was only really understood by a select handful of individuals." About the same time, GNOME developers started complaining about the limitations of the GTK+ toolkit with which the desktop is built, and looking for ways around those limitations.
In 2007, Wingo summed up the state of GNOME by saying, "we largely achieved what we set out to achieve, insofar as it was possible. Now our hands are full with dealing with entropic decay. . .it does not seem to me that GNOME is on a healthy evolutionary track. By that I mean to say that there is no way there from here, if 'there' is universal use of free software, and 'here' is our existing GNOME software stack."
Exactly the same thing could be said about KDE. Although fine-tuning for usability was still needed, both desktops had more or less caught up with their proprietary rivals, leaving them with no new goals beyond perfecting what already existed.
Now, in 2009, KDE has a new toolkit in QT 4.4, a new build system, a new multimedia system, a new extensible workspace, SVG graphics on the desktop, and the foundations for a semantic desktop. In addition, it has integrated widgets and applets so that they are usable on both the panel and the desktop, improved accessibility options, simplified configuration by making the process more visual, overhauled all its major applications, and created a new default look that compares favorably with any desktop you could name. What's more, it has accomplished these things while actually improving speed, because it started fresh.

Don't suppose that two of you will quit together, you never will. You must get away from people of that kind. Just to be in their presence will keep your problem foremost in your mind. The problem must be taken out of your mind for that is where it really exists. Your mind must be on other and more wholesome things.
3. When you bathe, do not admire yourself in a mirror. Never stay in the bath more than five or six minutes -- just long enough to bathe and dry and dress and then get out of the bathroom into a room where you will have some member of your family present.
4. When in bed, if that is where you have your problem for the most part, dress yourself for the night so securely that you cannot easily touch your vital parts, and so that it would be difficult and time consuming for you to remove those clothes. By the time you started to remove protective clothing you would have sufficiently controlled your thinking that the temptation would leave you.
5. If the temptation seems overpowering while you are in bed, get out of bed and go into the kitchen and fix yourself a snack, even if it is in the middle of the night, and even if you are not hungry, and despite your fears of gaining weight. The purpose behind this suggestion is that you get your mind on something else. You are the subject of your thoughts, so to speak.
It is a habit that is totally self-centered, and secretive, and in no way expresses the proper use of the procreative power given to man to fulfill eternal purposes. It therefore separates a person from God and defeats the gospel plan.
This self-gratifying activity will cause one to lose his self-respect and feel guilty and depressed, which can in the extreme lead to further sinning. As a person feels spiritually unclean, he loses his interest in prayer, his testimony becomes weak, and missionary work and other Church callings become burdensome, offering no joy and limited success.
I am reminded of my college days at the Christian Church-subsidized Texas Christian University (class of '65). We had shared shower and restroom facilities. One morning an animal husbandry major caught me examining pimples on my face and said I should "quit beatin' off."
I replied: "Naw, I'm working for that hair you get on your palms."

Okay, here's the $64 question: has any such document regarding WOMEN masturbating ever been published/found/whatever? I can't help but notice that it's always the MEN who get called out, either for masturbating or "lying with a man as with a woman" and crap like that. With the possible exception of maybe ONE mention of women misbehaving in the NT (Romans 1:28-32), it's always about the guys.
This rather reminds me of the fact that straight porn will frequently if not nearly always include a Lesbian scene, but NEVER a gay scene. Related? I think so!
this is so fuc**ed up.
I've never lost my self-respect, or felt guilty, or depressed. I guess I must be doing it wrong. :D
Ditto... Is becoming extremely relaxed a sin?

LOS ANGELES — The timing of Shirley Temple's death has forced a change in the tradition of placing flowers at a Hollywood Walk of Fame star when an honoree dies.
Hollywood Chamber of Commerce spokeswoman Ana Martinez says Temple's star is in storage while repairs are being made to the Vine Street location where it would normally be embedded in the sidewalk.
Instead, the chamber will place flowers Tuesday morning on the center divider of Hollywood Boulevard at La Brea Avenue, which is considered a gateway to the Walk of Fame.
As a child star, Temple was America's top box-office draw from 1935 to 1938 and she was inducted into the Walk of Fame on Feb. 8, 1960.
Temple died Monday night at her home near San Francisco at age 85.

Cousin of ex-New England Patriot Hernandez, charged with contempt and conspiracy, due in court
FALL RIVER, Mass. – A cousin of Aaron Hernandez is due to appear in a Massachusetts court in connection with the murder case against the former New England Patriot.
A pre-trial conference for Tanya Singleton is scheduled for Thursday afternoon in Fall River Superior Court.
Singleton has pleaded not guilty to charges of criminal contempt and conspiracy to commit accessory after the fact. Prosecutors say she helped Hernandez "right-hand man" Ernest Wallace travel to Florida after the June killing of Odin Lloyd and refused to testify before the grand jury hearing evidence in the case though she was offered immunity.
Hernandez has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder in Lloyd's death. Wallace has pleaded not guilty to being an accessory to murder after the fact.
Singleton is being held without bail.
