1* Meanwhile Moses was tending the flock of his father-in-law Jethro, the priest of Midian. Leading the flock beyond the wilderness, he came to the mountain of God, Horeb.* 2There the angel of the LORD* appeared to him as fire flaming out of a bush.a When he looked, although the bush was on fire, it was not being consumed. 3So Moses decided, "I must turn aside to look at this remarkable sight. Why does the bush not burn up?" 4When the LORD saw that he had turned aside to look, God called out to him from the bush: Moses! Moses! He answered, "Here I am." 5God said: Do not come near! Remove your sandals from your feet, for the place where you stand is holy ground.b 6I am the God of your father,* he continued, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.c Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to look at God.
The Call and Commission of Moses. 7But the LORD said: I have witnessed the affliction of my people in Egypt and have heard their cry against their taskmasters, so I know well what they are suffering. 8Therefore I have come down* to rescue them from the power of the Egyptians and lead them up from that land into a good and spacious land, a land flowing with milk and honey, the country of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Girgashites, the Hivites and the Jebusites.d 9Now indeed the outcry of the Israelites has reached me, and I have seen how the Egyptians are oppressing them. 10Now, go! I am sending you to Pharaoh to bring my people, the Israelites, out of Egypt.
11But Moses said to God, "Who am I* that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the Israelites out of Egypt?" 12God answered: I will be with you; and this will be your sign* that I have sent you. When you have brought the people out of Egypt, you will serve God at this mountain. 13"But," said Moses to God, "if I go to the Israelites and say to them, 'The God of your ancestors has sent me to you,' and they ask me, 'What is his name?' what do I tell them?" 14God replied to Moses: I am who I am.* Then he added: This is what you will tell the Israelites: I AM has sent me to you.
15God spoke further to Moses: This is what you will say to the Israelites: The LORD, the God of your ancestors, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you.
This is my name forever;e
this is my title for all generations.
16Go and gather the elders of the Israelites, and tell them, The LORD, the God of your ancestors, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, has appeared to me and said: I have observed you and what is being done to you in Egypt; 17so I have decided to lead you up out of your affliction in Egypt into the land of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Girgashites, the Hivites and the Jebusites, a land flowing with milk and honey. 18They will listen to you. Then you and the elders of Israel will go to the king of Egypt and say to him:f The LORD, the God of the Hebrews, has come to meet us. So now, let us go a three days' journey in the wilderness to offer sacrifice to the LORD, our God. 19Yet I know that the king of Egypt will not allow you to go unless his hand is forced. 20So I will stretch out my hand and strike Egypt with all the wondrous deeds I will do in its midst. After that he will let you go. 21g I will even make the Egyptians so well-disposed toward this people that, when you go, you will not go empty-handed. 22Every woman will ask her neighbor and the resident alien in her house for silver and gold articles* and for clothing, and you will put them on your sons and daughters. So you will plunder the Egyptians.
* [3:1–4:17] After the introduction to the narrative in 2:23–25, the commissioning itself falls into three sections: God's appearance under the aspect of a burning bush (3:1–6); the explicit commission (3:7–10); and an extended dialogue between Moses and God, in the course of which Moses receives the revelation of God's personal name. Although in the J source of the Pentateuch people have known and invoked God's personal name in worship since the time of Seth (Gn 4:26), for the E and P sources (see 6:2–4) God first makes this name publicly available here through Moses.
* [3:1] The mountain of God, Horeb: traditionally, "Horeb" is taken to be an alternate name in E source material and Deuteronomy (e.g., Dt 1:2) for what in J and P is known as Mount Sinai, the goal of the Israelites' journey after leaving Egypt and the site of the covenant God makes with Israel. However, it is not clear that originally the two names reflect the same mountain, nor even that "Horeb" refers originally to a mountain and not simply the dry, ruined region (from Hebrew horeb, "dryness, devastation") around the mountain. Additionally, the position of "Horeb" at the end of the verse may indicate that the identification of the "mountain of God" with Horeb (= Sinai?) represents a later stage in the evolution of the tradition about God's meeting with Moses. The phrase "mountain of God" simply anticipates the divine apparitions which would take place there, both on this occasion and after the Israelites' departure from Egypt; alternatively, it means that the place was already sacred or a place of pilgrimage in pre-Israelite times. In any case, the narrative offers no indications of its exact location.
* [3:2] The angel of the LORD: Hebrew mal'ak or "messenger" is regularly translated angelos by the Septuagint, from which the English word "angel" is derived, but the Hebrew term lacks connotations now popularly associated with "angel" (such as wings). Although angels frequently assume human form (cf. Gn 18–19), the term is also used to indicate the visual form under which God occasionally appeared and spoke to people, referred to indifferently in some Old Testament texts either as God's "angel," mal'ak, or as God. Cf. Gn 16:7, 13; Ex 14:19, 24–25; Nm 22:22–35; Jgs 6:11–18. The bush: Hebrew seneh, perhaps "thorny bush," occurring only here in vv. 2–4 and in Dt 33:16. Its use here is most likely a wordplay on Sinai (Hebrew sinay), implying a popular etymology for the name of the sacred mountain.
* [3:6] God of your father: a frequently used epithet in Genesis (along with the variants "my father" and "your father") for God as worshiped by the ancestors. As is known from its usage outside of the Bible in the ancient Near East, it suggests a close, personal relationship between the individual and the particular god in question, who is both a patron and a protector, a god traditionally revered by the individual's family and whose worship is passed down from father to son. The God of Abraham…Jacob: this precise phrase (only here and in v. 15; 4:5) stresses the continuity between the new revelation to Moses and the earlier religious experience of Israel's ancestors, identifying the God who is now addressing Moses with the God who promised land and numerous posterity to the ancestors. Cf. Mt 22:32; Mk 12:26; Lk 20:37. Afraid to look at God: the traditions about Moses are not uniform in regard to his beholding or not being able to look at God (cf. 24:11; 33:11, 18–23; 34:29–35). Here Moses' reaction is the natural and spontaneous gesture of a person suddenly confronted with a direct experience of God. Aware of his human frailty and the gulf that separates him from the God who is holy, he hides his face. To encounter the divine was to come before an awesome and mysterious power unlike any other a human being might experience and, as such, potentially threatening to one's very identity or existence (see Gn 32:30).
* [3:8] I have come down: cf. Gn 11:5, 7; 18:21. Flowing with milk and honey: an expression denoting agricultural prosperity, which seems to have been proverbial in its application to the land of Canaan. Cf. Ex 13:5; Nm 13:27; Jos 5:6; Jer 11:5; 32:22; Ez 20:6, 15.
* [3:11] Who am I: this question is always addressed by an inferior to a superior (to the ruler in 1 Sm 18:18; to God in 2 Sm 7:18 and its parallel, 1 Chr 17:16; 1 Chr 29:14; 2 Chr 2:5). In response to some special opportunity or invitation, the question expresses in a style typical of the ancient Near East the speaker's humility or gratitude or need of further assistance, but never unwillingness or an outright refusal to respond. Instead the question sets the stage for further support from the superior should that be needed (as here).
* [3:12] Sign: a visible display of the power of God. The ancient notion of a sign from God does not coincide with the modern understanding of "miracle," which suggests some disruption in the laws governing nature. While most any phenomenon can become a vehicle for displaying the purposes and providence of God, here the sign intended to confirm Moses' commission by God seems to be the burning bush itself. Since normally the giving of such a sign would follow the commission rather than precede it (see Jgs 6:11–24), some see Israel's service of God at Sinai after the exodus from Egypt as the confirmatory sign, albeit retroactively. It is more likely, however, that its mention here is intended to establish the present episode with Moses alone as a prefigurement of God's fiery theophany to all Israel on Mount Sinai. Serve God: Hebrew '-b-d, "serve," includes among its meanings both the notion of "serving or working for another" and the notion of "worship." The implication here is that the Israelites' service/worship of God is incompatible with their service to Pharaoh.
* [3:14] I am who I am: Moses asks in v. 13 for the name of the One speaking to him, but God responds with a wordplay which preserves the utterly mysterious character of the divine being even as it appears to suggest something of the inner meaning of God's name: 'ehyeh "I am" or "I will be(come)" for "Yhwh," the personal name of the God of Israel. While the phrase "I am who I am" resists unraveling, it nevertheless suggests an etymological linking between the name "Yhwh" and an earlier form of the Hebrew verbal root h-y-h "to be." On that basis many have interpreted the name "Yhwh" as a third-person form of the verb meaning "He causes to be, creates," itself perhaps a shortened form of a longer liturgical name such as "(God who) creates (the heavenly armies)." Note in this connection the invocation of Israel's God as "LORD (Yhwh) of Hosts" (e.g., 1 Sm 17:45). In any case, out of reverence for God's proper name, the term Adonai, "my Lord," was later used as a substitute. The word LORD (in small capital letters) indicates that the Hebrew text has the sacred name (Yhwh), the tetragrammaton. The word "Jehovah" arose from a false reading of this name as it is written in the current Hebrew text. The Septuagint has egō eimi ho ōn, "I am the One who is" (ōn being the participle of the verb "to be"). This can be taken as an assertion of God's aseity or self-existence, and has been understood as such by the Church, since the time of the Fathers, as a true expression of God's being, even though it is not precisely the meaning of the Hebrew.
* [3:22] Articles: probably jewelry.

In his bi-weekly column "KDE: From the Source" at O'Reilly's OSDir.com George Staikos talks in the current issue about KDE's fully networked desktop protocol handlers as well his favorite local ones. To quote George: "Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X have a long way to go to catch up with the robust, transparent functionality that KDE has provided since version 2.0."
I'm the first!!! :P
We're all posted out to /. already.
I mentioned this on Slashdot, but I'll mention it here too, as things there have a tendency to get buried:
It would be extremely cool if someone could integrate these features into a KDE Shell. Then, lets call is KASH (K Advanced Shell), would allow me to just cd into another protocol. I could type 'cd ftp://ftp.kde.org' and I'd be ready to grab something, rather than having to fire up lftp and remember how its commands differ from those in bash. I could also copy across protocols as easy as 'cp somefile file://~/' (copying something from an ftp directory to where I am).
I know that KDE is a graphical environment, but that doesn't mean it needs to stick to only that. I'd love to have access to some of these KDE features when I don't have X going.
Your wish is already partially possible.
Example to copy a file via ssh:
kfmclient copy fish://[:]/remote/path/to/file /local/path/to/[file|dir]
Exactly!!! This is exactly what I was thinking about a few days ago: I wish it was possible to use (all) the KIO features (imho _THE_ killer feature underneath the very beautiful KDE GUI) on the console. That could mean that the KIO slaves should no longer be bound to the GUI.
Just an example: My absolute favorite is the audiocd:/ ioslave and since I (accidentally unfortunately) discovered it, I'm glad I don't need it know how to use cdparanoia and oggenc again. For now I just open a Konqueror window, split it in two parts, change to "audiocd:/Ogg Vorbis" in one part and to music directory in the other, and drag the ogg files there.
What I wish was possible is to open a shell, cd to "audiocd:/Ogg Vorbis" and cp *.ogg ~/my/favourite/music
Is there a wish already filed for this? How could it be implemented? With a complete new shell like Kde Advanced SHell as suggested? Or maybe just with a plugin to any existing shell like bash?
Maybe I could even volunteer in helping making this reality. but I'm afraid I won't be able to do this alone.
PS. btw does someone know how to autoload the sg module when needed eg by the audiocd ioslave?
You can mount kioslaves with the KIO Fuse Gateway (http://wiki.kde.org/tiki-index.php?page=KIO+Fuse+Gateway) and use them from the shell.
'fuse_kio --nice-mtab /your/mountpoint fish://user@host/'
Assuming I understand this right, it really doesn't do the same thing. This allows me to mount most anything, which is a step forward from having to use separate tools for everything, but it still doesn't give me seamless console integration.
Although it isn't exactly what I want, thanks for pointing it out, I'll give it a spin and, if it's as good as you imply, probably keep using it until someone adds what I suggested before..
Do you know if there's something like an automounter for fuse in general or fuse_kio in particular?
like paxcal suggested..
very nice tool.
just set up an alias and your done.
(can even be set to f.e. override commands only in Konsoles)
KIO is perhaps one of the greatest features of KDE. The problem with it is that an article like this one is news to so many people. KIO has been out since KDE 2.0 was released. Google KIO and see how it has been promoted, discussed and documented. It looks like it should be in an "Undocumented KDE Features" book. Even in the 3x series after I expressly instructed people on our suggestion page not to ask for an FTP manager I still get this request. Every time fish comes up on our mailing list it's news to some long time user.
The fundamental tennet in GUI design is that you must give a visual queue to the user of what can be done. Otherwise it's an Easter egg. KIO is an Easter egg. People aren't generally going to snoop all through all the system information when they first fire it up and if they do it may not register the first time. When browsing the web you do get your http:// indication as well as ftp:// if you link to FTP. The problem is that we have no visual protocol selection indication in the konqueror or the file dialogs. So you must first know it is possible and second know what protocol you want and if it is available. Plus it's more typing than you should need to do.
A solution is obvious. For one thing possibly adding protocol auto completion in an empty location bar, but this could be confusing with what else is there, and it does not visually prompt. A better option would be to add a protocol segment to the address. This would be more elegant because you could auto complete or drop down your protocol and begin typing your address after. It could still behave the same defautling to file/http as it does, but it would visually introduce people to the fact that KDE is network transparent.
This may not come up so much in desktop applications, but with web development it comes up a lot. The fact is though that virtually every KDE application would still benefit from all users being instantly aware that they could access files on other protocols. Adding context help to the protocol selector could then bring this feature to supreme value. As it is, this is only useful for those indoctrinated to our "secret rituals".
Indeed, Tom and I did such a thing not so long ago (it's in a wiki state for various reasons):
Just today I was managing some webpages through the sftp kioslave and thinking how cool it was. Just dragging files from one konq tab to another, and being able to quickly edit files in kate by simply opening them and saving them.
Amen to that!
I teach computing (Web programming and databases mostly) and I've shown my students how editing code on a remote server is easy with Kate.
Quite many of them wanted to develop pages with Linux just because of this.
Kio is absolutely incredible! The only thing that bothers me with KIO is the floppy usage. My students get errors when trying to umount a floppy, and honestly I don't understand why we _still need to mount floppies.
My students would also find it very easy to use drive letter ioslaves (a:/ for floppy, d:/ for the first cdrom)
Has anyone here mentioning opening remote files in Kate tried Quanta's remote projects? You can view your project tree on the server and if it's a local project you can view your upload profile tree on the server in 3.3. All of this is with KIO and selectable protcols.
As for mounting your floppies, you still use floppies? ;-) Build the kernel with automount and configure your /etc/fstab to automount. I don't use floppies but I don't mount CDROMs or DVDs manually.
As for using drive letters... Come on... There are ways to alias things but how lame are drive letters? A name is intuitive, but what is H:? I like to create links like so...
ln -s /mnt/cdrom $HOME/cdrom
So I can access it at ~/cdrom. This actually makes sense. Installing it at D:, and having it moved to E: because I installed a new hard drive is assinine. It's part of your file system. Why should you care about the physicality as opposed to an address? What drive letter should your web site be, or google.com? Why not refer to it as ABZH:? Actually they have this type of naming on the net as 255.255.255.255 but we alias it with a name. Drive letters would never be proposed for an intelligently designed network file system, just a hobbiest single user Basic platform.
I'm a little disappointed that the response to my post is that KIO is cool. Yes KIO is cool, but next month when this article is buried on the web and a new user comes to KDE they will NOT find it until someone points it out to them. KIO needs the following:
1) Promotion in KDE releases (besides the 2.0 release)
2) A visual element in the GUI to make it known to new users
3) Quick selection of protocols in Konqi and file dialogs
Come to think of it, why don't one of you guys get in contact with o'reilly and see if they'll let you write 'KDE: The Missing Manual' (a la MacOS X).
> As for mounting your floppies, you still use floppies? ;-) Build the kernel

it was clear from your post that you don't use floppies. automount does not work. it periodically tries to unmount. just having "cd /mnt/floppy" is enough to stop automounting from working.
that's why there's supermount-ng.
submount is another project but with more bugs than supermount-ng even though it's supposed to be more stable (although i have never had problems with supermount-ng).
The most intresting thing to me is CSS editing. On windows there is a very nice tool names style studio (http://www.style-sheet.com), can or will Quanta integrate CSS editing/preview etc functionality? Or is a special tool needed for that?
I use Quanta remote projects all the time (as well as my students who develop web with Quanta), and I like Quanta very much.
About floppies: I personally don't use floppies, but my students who study computing basics do. They need to do Computer Driving Licence exam (http://www.tieke.fi/ajokortti_english.nsf/?open), which tests basic computing skills. In module 2 (CDL level A, module 2) they need to do file management test which starts with formatting a floppy, and making folders/files onto a floppy. By reading comments here I heard for the fist time it's possible to use floppies without mounting. I'm looking into it an configuring this in classroom once I know how to do it. By the way, quite many people still use floppies for archiving documents. I know it's stupid, but they still do.
About drive letters: they are familiar to users (newbeginners). I teach people from age 16 -> 50? and all of them are familiar with drive letters. We all know why. It's a fact, and we need to make our DE for the users. If aliasing a:/ -> floppy:/ helps, lets do it! From ideal usage philosophy drive letters are not intuitive. They are commonly used (in 90 % of desktops) and familiar to users. I don't need them personally, I'm just telling you about something that makes learning about KDE faster.
Your idea of having dropdown (combobox) for selecting protocols is a very good idea! We definetly need some visual way of browsing to KIO slaves.
About your driveletters: I really fail to see the point of emulating an inferior way of referencing devices. What's wrong with floppy? Is that less clear than 'a:/'?
The KIO floppy: is emulating the drive letters anyway, for examples:
floppy:/a/ for the first floppy
floppy:/z/ for a ZIP drive
Have a nice day!
Another problem with KDE's KIO is that even KDE developers apperently are not aware of them.
For instance, opening a file on a ftp-server does not open it in the associated application, but downloads it first to /tmp/kde-user, and then this temporary file is opened.
This happens because the developer is not aware that his application is capabable in using kioslaves to open the file directly, so they don't put the flag '%U' in the startcommand of their application in the corresponding .desktop file.
Even the official kde-packages often lack the precense of %U in the .desktop files.
I guess you've already filed corresponding bug reports at bugs.kde.org to make the developers aware of this.
Indeed, but I don't use all kde-applications, so there are probably a lot of other apps that still don't have this feature turned on.
The problem with KIO slaves and all that is not the lack of knowledge; it's also a lack of explanation in the documentation as to WHAT they are and WHAT they are supposed to do. Personally, I haven;t a clue, and I am afraid of them, because I have no idea what they can do, and whether they can be overtaken by someone remotely to get control of my machine.
Now, before you say, hogwash, let me tell you folks, it happened. Linux was used to grab control of my Windows machine not so very long ago, and the persons who did it used I/O ports, KIO slaves, the KDE Wallet, and a host of other Linux programs. At the time, I had no idea what was going on, but they corrupted my bios with this stuff. All right. So I am paranoid.
Which is one reason I (like those students) would sure like disc drive locations and or letters just to find stuff when I need it. As it is, the system is a nightmare to negotiate, because drives are hidden most of the time, and I have no idea how to get my floppy when I need it. In fact, my system has two, and it doesn't seem to recognize that fact. I can't get these drives to register, much less to use them.
In short, Linus is still full of bugs despite all the crowing about the greatness of Mandrake.
Call me if you can help--or think it might be useful to know more.
I've already added your post to my "favorite rants" file. Let's take a five second look at the various things you are rambling about.
First, you are afraid of KIO slaves and don't know what they are. Did it ever occur to you to click on the article that is the focus of this entire discussion?
Second, you are babbling KIO slaves were used, along with "I/O ports, KIO slaves, the KDE Wallet" to take control of your spyware-ridden Windows machine. Of course, Windows doesn't use I/O ports, so that can't be a problem. I can easily see how "KIO slaves", local protocol handlers on someone else's machine, could somehow go out into the INTARWEB and "take control" of your machine, and Dear God! they even attacked you with their encrypted password management tool using KDE Wallet! How could your poor machine have resisted their locally stored encrypted password archive?! Do you even know what the words you are using mean? Please, please hit up Google for some definitions before you spout this crap in public. No, I'm not going to explain them to you.
Disk letters, great stuff. I always think of Drive U: when I want attached network storage, or is that Drive T:? So much easier than /mnt/fileserver-backup. If you use a recent desktop distro like SuSE or whatever, you may notice that attached storage (USB drives, CDROM's, and whatnot) show up in a very friendly "My Computer"-esque box, where you click on the pretty pictures to get at your files. Very easy. I'm sure even "students" can manage it, mine certainly do.
I suspect that Linus is indeed full of bugs, but I sincerely hope for his sake that they are merely his normal microbial flora, and not nasty ones with legs. If you were trying to talk about the operating system kernel Linux, it does indeed have bugs, as do all large software projects, but your complaints have nothing to do with the kernel. It sounds like you are just unwilling to learn how to use a different operating system, and I don't see why your angst should be limited to this OS.
Try floppy:/ or floppy:/a/
Should also work for zip drives and stuff (floppy:/z/ I think)
I used to put "My Computer" (devices:/ ) and "Network Neighberhood" (lan:/) icon on the desktop for my fellow windoz friend.
all my friend where able to use both without linux knowledge or the need for help.
Yes, I've done this too.
Too bad these are not default on KDE desktop! Perhaps I should check if there's a wish and if not, make one. The fact that they are not by default there makes it a difficult for me to teach students to use ~/Desktop/My Computer: It will not be there on any other systems that these at school. a:/ would be the standard they know on Win and would find familiar.
I don't think lan:/ is a good default imho. Afaik lan:/ works using lisa daemon, which is a light version of nmap ;)
The correct word is _should_.
My students get 'unable to umount' errors when they've used floppy:/ ioslave. Some programs seem to leave the floppy device into state that it can't be umounted. Sometimes they need to logout to get around this. Not very convinient. I've not yet managed to reproduce this to find out what it is that causes the problem.
fuser is there to help you:)
fuser -v /mnt/floppy
there you go..
I'm afraid you did not understand the problem.
I can use floppies without any probmlems, my newbeginner students have difficulties. They do not understand the mounting and unmounting procedure, and I honestly think they should not need to understand.
Someone mentioned programs that help using floppies and cdroms without mounting (supermount, submount). The best solution I've found so far is submount. The bad news is you need to compile the linux kernel module and a daemon. After compiling and installing submount the floppies and cdroms can be used just as easily you can use them on Windows.
I still have problems with Konqueror, it locks cdrom so that I have to wait few minutes before I can eject cdrom. Beside this small problem submount is very good package. I hope it will get into main Linux kernel.
You demonstrate the lack of knowledge about kio. Just use floppy:// to access your disks! It is a kioslave that uses mtools and thus does not mount ort unmount. q.e.d.
Also floppy uses drive names like floppy:/a/
It will not help with your cdrom access problems though.
You're right; good HCI means that KIO must be visible to the user. They shouldn't have to read a manual to find it.
It would be nice if each KIO slave could have it's own wizard. For example, the "fish" KIO slave (terrible name though, it should be called ssh) would pop-up with a window explaining what it does (very important) and give you text input boxes for your username, host and password. It would then connect to a ssh server once you enter your data and click "OK".
These wizards could then be accessed through a menu item in konqueror, the 'start' menu or perhaps some konqueror view (which would ironically be a KIO slave) which shows a list of all the wizards available. For example, it wouldn't just say "fish", it would say something like "Connect to SSH server...", "Listen to or encode music from a CD...", "Read man pages..." etc. This would be visible to new users, introduce them to all the KIO slaves and explain to them what they do and how to set them up.
The way they are hidden from the user at the moment is such a waste of a killer feature.
I've always tought the network integration of KDE was very powerfull and clean for the user.
It's just a shame I don't know most of the network kio that exists ;)
I still get "Examining File Progress..." all over when you open or move files around using fish/ftp, etc. Why can't KIO stuff be transparently shared between all applications instead of "Initializing Protocol..." all over? When I hit Cancel on subsequent dialog boxes, it still opens the file, but that's annoying. Should I open a bug?
First I must admit that I often enjoy using KIO, copying files in Konqueror with fish:// is really cool.
But: Have you ever tried to view a movie from a Samba network-share? KIO tries to get the whole file and creates a temporary file on the local file-system. This really sucks! Waiting for 700 MB just to view the first 5 minutes isn't efficient. Viewing the same file from a smbmounted directory starts instantly instead!
So KDE should add better mounting features to compensate the flaws in the KIO-architecture.
I would instead like to see that the problem ("flaws in the KIO architecture" as you call it) is fixed, not the symptoms worked around. That seems to be the saner route to follow, if possible of course.
That is probably because the media player youre using either can't handle kios-slaves, or the startcommand for the player in the corresponding .desktop file does not contain a %U in its startcommand.
%U tells kio/kde/whatever that the application can open URL's.
I noticed this behavior with noatun and kaffeine.
The problem is, that KIO does not provide all the features of the source file-system. KIO has no seek() method, it only can get smaller parts of the file with data().
But with better mounting capabilities (in Konqueror and in the file dialog) every application including xine, mplayer or xmms could handle a file from a network share without problems.
Protocols that cannot be mounted currently sould be re-implemented in something like fuse
try kplayer.. can open films from KIO slaves 2 versions ago:)
much much better than anything else I tried.
Oh thanks I will look at it. But I don't think this a real solution for the KIO-problem ;)
but why did I have to read this to find out how to access audio cds in Konqeuro? Windows XP allows this without needing to read an article to find some obscure code to type in the address bar---it's right in the explorer tree. audiocd:/, btw, doesn't make sense at all. Why not popup a dialog asking "which file format, ogg, mp3, wav?" instead of fragmenting the source of one device into 7 different parts?
I wish KDE would dump the sidebar interface Konqeuror has (like XANDROS' File Manager BASED on Konqeuror is) and put all these in a graphical tree like XP/Xandros XFM. Konqueror is powerful but it just doesn't make sense sometimes.
(KHTML rocks though, as speedy as Opera)
Screenshot of XFM: http://www.pdpcomputing.ltd.uk/images/xandros/XFM1.jpg
Please KDE, you have the best DE in the world out, just polish it up >:|
XFM is not based on Konqueror. Also you can help polishing it up, no need to make a grim face.

Of course, before an emergency ever arises, it's a good idea to learn all you can about first aid techniques and pet health care. Never leave dangerous objects like pins, needles, or fish hooks within reach. Keep poisonous products and materials far from your pet's reach as you would with a child. Be well aware of your pet's normal behavior, so you can recognize what's not normal. Remember that the objective is to relieve suffering . . . perhaps even to save a life. Emergency first aid is most effective when rendered quickly, but calmly.
A sick or injured animal is often in a frightened state, so if emergency first aid is necessary protect yourself (even if it's your own pet); cats can be handled with gloves or wrapped in a blanket - a dog can be muzzled. If there's any question of seriousness, keep our phone number handy with other emergency phone numbers.
Family pets (and all animals) risk all kinds of poisoning from all kinds of places. Snakes can poison; some plants can poison; and hundreds of poisonous materials are used around the home by people every day - things like pesticides, weed killers, lawn sprays, acids, fertilizers, paints . . . the list is endless.
Here's what you can do if your pet is poisoned:
* Keep your pet warm and quiet
* Try to determine what the poison was, when it was ingested, and the amount swallowed
* Immediately call us and/or your nearest poison control center
When you bring your pet to see us, bring the container (or the label) with you. Most of the time poisoning is accidental. Keep poisonous materials out of reach, know what your pet is doing at all times, and keep emergency telephone numbers handy.

review from stephan and his usage graph
"I had a Hybrid solar system installed by Ezi Solar in June 2023. I did extensive research and received various Solar quotes prior to making a decision. I found Ezi Solar to be very professional and good value for money. John and his staff were very supportive and patient to explain the system and very quick to return on-site for minor adjustments to the system post installation.
My system has made loadshedding a non-event and my electricity bill and consumption has halved, with the actual summer months still to come. I definitely recommend John and his team for anyone looking for a professional installation at a competitive price. Their willingness to provide ongoing support post installation makes "going solar" easy."
review from rael b.
Brilliant service from Ezi Solar and Tegan, his knowledge and skills used for my solar setting optimization is unmatched and have saved me big time. previously was using close to 20 units of electricity a day roughly, equating to me putting in around R2500 electricity every single month BUT now with the setting changes and monitoring of my system by Tegan and the team im using around 5-8 units a day and only purchasing R2500 electricity about every 2-3 months only!
Highly recommend them to anyone looking for a professional system and optimization specialist!

Further compounding the problem of dryer fires is the fact that many people now install dryers outside of their basements. This typically results in dryer vent pipes being much longer. Those longer vent pipes have a greater likelihood of being twisted and turned to accommodate the structure of the home—and that creates spaces for lint to collect.
What could happen if my dryer catches on fire?
Kevin Sippy, an insurance adjuster in ERIE's Wisconsin Branch, inspects about five dryer fires every year. One particularly bad one happened when a customer laundered an item containing a type of rubber not meant to be dried at a hot temperature. When she turned the dryer to high, the material combusted and caused a blaze that destroyed $44,000 worth of property.
VIDEO: Watch how quickly a dryer fire can spread
In another instance, a customer suffered $200,000 of property damage from a fire that started after she took her laundry out of the dryer. That customer washed towels that had been soaked in a sizable amount of sanitizing solution. She then placed the towels, which still had traces of the sanitizing solution, in the dryer. When the towels dried, they ended up spontaneously combusting and causing a fire that burned through an entire floor.
"We literally had to gut the house," says Sippy, who changed his own laundry habits after that fire. "Now, I never dry anything higher than the low setting—I'd rather take a little longer to dry my clothes than burn my house down."
9 tips to prevent dryer fires
1. Clean out the lint. "It starts with cleaning out the lint filter every time you use the dryer," says John Hall, Ph.D., division director of Fire Analysis & Research for the National Fire Protection Association. He also advises clearing out the vent pipe to reduce the chance of fire and to maintain the efficiency of the dryer.
2. Install with care. Be sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions when installing the vent pipe. Use a short, straight pipe that's an adequate distance from the wall. By reducing the bends in the dryer vent pipe, it creates fewer opportunities for lint to gather. If you have to vent your dryer over a long distance, consider investing in a dryer vent fan. These automatic electric devices speed up airflow through the duct every time you turn on your dryer to keep things moving along. A dryer vent fan should be installed by a licensed electrician.
3. Clear out combustibles. Move any flammables like cleaning supplies far away from your dryer. Also regularly sweep out dust in the areas around and underneath your dryer.
4. Opt for a solid metal dryer duct. Research shows that flexible foil or plastic ducts can sag and lead to lint buildup at low points. Metal ducts of any variety don't sag, and they're more likely to contain any fires that would start.
5. Read tags. If the care label reads tumble dry low, don't turn the dryer up to high. Also use caution with certain items like bath mats, padded bras, and bibs—they may contain rubber that shouldn't be exposed to hot temperatures.
6. Exercise extra caution with flammable liquids. Wash clothing stained with volatile chemicals more than once—and definitely opt to line dry over machine dry.
7. Use your clothes to diagnose problems. Clothes that no longer feel dry or that are extra hot to the touch after a normal dry cycle are a telltale sign that something's wrong. Before doing the next load, check for a plugged vent and clean out any lint.
8. Don't dry and dash. Turn off your dryer if you need to step out during the laundry cycle.
9. Give the outdoor vent a peek. Make sure that the outdoor vent flap isn't covered by snow or debris.
Another way you can protect your home is with the right homeowners insurance. Talk with an insurance professional like an Erie Insurance agent to learn more and get a free quote.
This story was originally published in 2013. It was updated with new information on Jan. 13, 2020.
Laundry is part of life's weekly grind. But did you know that dryers cause roughly 15,500 home structure fires, 29 deaths, 400 injuries, and $192 million in direct property loss each year? What's more, most dryer fires happen in the winter.
What can cause a dryer fire?
The most common cause of dryer fires is the failure to do a thorough cleaning. Because a lint trap is not a foolproof method for catching all the fuzzy stuff from clothes, lint can gradually build up and catch fire in the heating element or exhaust duct.

The revelers watched in stunned disbelief, cocktails in hand, dressed for a night to remember. On the big-screen TV a headline screamed in crimson red: "Projected Winner: Scott Walker." It was 8:49 p.m. In parts of Milwaukee, people learned that news networks had declared Wisconsin's governor the winner while still in line to cast their votes. At the election night party for Walker's opponent, Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett, supporters talked and cried and ordered more drinks. Barrett soon took the stage to concede, then waded into the crowd where a distraught woman slapped him in the face.
Walker is the first governor in American history to win a recall election. His lieutenant governor, Rebecca Kleefisch, dispatched her recall challenger no less decisively. So, too, did three Republican state senators in their recall elections. Democrats avoided a GOP sweep with a win in the sixth and final senate recall vote of the season, in Wisconsin's southeastern 21st district, but that was small consolation. Put simply, Democrats and labor unions got rolled.
The results of Tuesday's elections are being heralded as the death of public-employee unions, if not the death of organized labor itself. Tuesday's results are also seen as the final chapter in the story of the populist uprising that burst into life last year in the state capital of Madison. The Cheddar Revolution, so the argument goes, was buried in a mountain of ballots.
But that burial ceremony may prove premature. Most of the conclusions of the last few days, left and right, are likely wrong.
The energy of the Wisconsin uprising was never electoral. The movement's mistake: letting itself be channeled solely into traditional politics, into the usual box of uninspired candidates and the usual line-up of debates, primaries, and general elections. The uprising was too broad and diverse to fit electoral politics comfortably. You can't play a symphony with a single instrument. Nor can you funnel the energy and outrage of a popular movement into a single race, behind a single well-worn candidate, at a time when all the money in the world from corporate "individuals" and right-wingbillionaires is pouring into races like the Walker recall.
Colin Millard, an organizer at the International Brotherhood of Bridge, Structural, Ornamental, and Reinforcing Iron Workers, admitted as much on the eve of the recall. We were standing inside his storefront office in the small town of Horicon, Wisconsin. It was night outside. "The moment you start a recall," he told me, "you're playing their game by their rules."
From Madison to Zuccotti Park and Beyond
A recap is in order.
The uprising began with Colin Millard. The date was February 11, 2011, when Walker"dropped the bomb," as he later put it, with his "budget repair" bill, which sought to gut collective bargaining rights for most public-employee unions, Later that day, a state Democratic Party staffer who knew Millard called him and pleaded with him to organize a protest. Millard agreed, even though other unions, including the AFL-CIO, urged him to back out. Don't make a fuss, they advised. Let's call some lawmakers and urge them to oppose Walker's bill. "Fuck off," was Millard's response.
On the Sunday after Walker unveiled his bill, Millard rounded up more than 200 people and marched down Lake Street, past the John Deere factory and Dannyboy's Bar, to the home of Republican Jeff Fitzgerald, the speaker of the state Assembly and a Walker ally. Fitzgerald lived a mile or two from Millard in Horicon. "I've got a message for Scott Walker," Millard told the crowd outside Fitzgerald's house. "This is my union card and you can pry it from my cold, dead hand."
As rumors spread of more protests, Walker threatened to call out the National Guard to deal with the protesting public workers. That's when popular outrage erupted. Students marched on the state capitol, and then a local teaching assistants union led the effort to take over the capitol rotunda, transforming intermittent protests into a round-the-clock occupation. Organizers provided food, shelter, health care, day care, education, and a sense of purpose for those who had taken up residence inside the capitol.
In support of the occupiers, the daily protests outside the capitol grew into crowds of 10,000, 25,000, then upward of 100,000. People marched in the snowy streets to challenge Walker, Wisconsin Republicans, and their political donors. Tractors circled the capitol in protest, as did firefighters and cops, even though their bargaining rights had been exempted from Walker's "reform" proposals. By now, Madison had captured the nation's attention.
A two-week occupation of the capitol and months of protests didn't, however, deter Walker and Republican lawmakers. He signed his budget repair bill, known as Act 10, into law in March. But that doesn't mean the Wisconsin uprising had no effect. For one thing, the "Walkerville" occupation of the grounds outside the state capitol helped inspire the"Bloombergville" protest in New York City targeting Mayor Michael Bloomberg. That, in turn, would be a precursor to the Occupy Wall Street events of the following September and later the Occupy movement nationwide. Without Wisconsin, without the knowledge that such things could still happen in America, there might never have been an Occupy.
Hijacking the Uprising
By the time Occupy Wall Street took off, the Wisconsin uprising had swapped its come-one-come-all organizing message for a far narrower and more traditional political mission. Over the summer of 2011, the decision was made that the energy and enthusiasm displayed in Madison should be channeled into recall elections to defeat six Republican state senators who had voted for Walker's anti-union Act 10. (Three Democratic senators would, in the end, face recall as well.) By that act, Democrats and unions hoped to wrestle control of the senate away from Walker and use that new power to block his agenda.
The Democrats won two of the 2011 recalls, one short of gaining control of the Senate, and so the Republicans clung to their majority.
What followed was more of the same, but with the ante upped. This time, the marquee race would be the recall of Walker himself. Launched last November, the grassroots campaign to recall the governor put the populist heart of the Wisconsin uprising on full display. Organizing under the United Wisconsin banner, 30,000 volunteers statewide gathered nearly one million signatures to trigger the election. The group's people-powered operation recaptured some of the spirit of the Capitol occupation, but the decision had been made: recalling Walker at the ballot box was the way forward.
The Walker recall effort would, in fact, splinter the masses of anti-Walker protesters. Many progressives and most of the state's labor unions rallied behind former Dane County executive Kathleen Falk who, in January 2012, announced her intent to challenge Walker. Tom Barrett, who had lost the governor's race to Walker in 2010, didn't announce his candidacy until late March, his entry pitting Democrat against Democrat, his handful of union endorsements pitting labor against labor. Unions pumped $4 million into helping Falk clinch the Democratic nomination. In the end, though, it wasn't close: Barrett stomped her in the May 8th primary by 24 percentage points.
By now, the Madison movement was the captive of ordinary Democratic politics in the state. After all, Barrett was hardly a candidate of the uprising. People who had protested in the streets and slept in the capitol groused about his uninspired record on workers' rights and public education. He never inspired or unified the movement that had made a recall possible — and it showed on Election Day: Walker beat Barrett by seven percentage points, almost his exact margin of victory in 2010. Democrats and their union allies needed to win over new voters and old enemies; by all accounts they failed.
And had Barrett by some miracle won, after a few days of celebration and self-congratulation, those in the Madison movement would have found themselves in the same box, in the same broken system, with little sense of what to do and, in a Barrett governorship, little hope. Win or lose, there was loss written all over the recall decision.
The Fate of the Uprising
The takeaway from Walker's decisive win on Tuesday is not that Wisconsin's new populist movement is dead. It's that such a movement does not fit comfortably into the present political/electoral system, stuffed as it is with corporate money, overflowing with bizarre ads and media horse-race-manship. Its members' beliefs are too diverse to be confined comfortably in what American electoral politics has become. It simply couldn't be squeezed into a system that stifles and, in some cases, silences the kinds of voices and energies it possessed.
The post-election challenge for the members of Wisconsin's uprising is finding a new way to fight for and achieve needed change without simply pinning their hopes on a candidate or an election. After all, that's part of what absorbed the nation when a bunch of students first moved into the Wisconsin state capitol and wouldn't go home, or when a ragtag crew of protesters camped out in lower Manhattan's Zuccotti Park and wouldn't leave either. In both cases, they had harnessed the outrage felt by so many Americans for a cause other than what's usually called "politics" in this country.
And they were successful — even in the most traditional terms; that is, both movements affected traditional politics most strongly when they weren't part of it. The Occupy movement, for all its flaws, moved even mainstream political discourse away from austerity and deficit slashing and toward the issues of income inequality and the hollowing out of the American middle and working classes.
Avoiding politics as we know it with an almost religious fervor, Occupy still managed to put its stamp on national political fights. Last October, for instance, Ohioans voted overwhelmingly to repeal SB 5, a law that curbed collective bargaining rights for all public-employee unions. Occupy's "We are the 99%" message reverberated through Ohio, and the volunteers who blitzed the state successfully drew on Occupy themes to make their case for the law's repeal. Mary Kay Henry, president of the Service Employees International Union, which spent $500,000 in Ohio fighting SB 5, told me at the time, "Every conversation was in the context of the 99% and the 1%, this discussion sparked by Occupy Wall Street."
The money that flowed into Walker's recall fight speaks loudly to the disadvantages a Wisconsin-like movement faces within the walls of electoral politics and the need for it to resist being confined there. On the post-Citizens United playing field, the unlimited amounts of the money that rose to the top of this society in recent decades, as the 1% definitively separated itself from the 99%, can be reinvested in preserving the world as it is and electing those who will make it even more amenable. The advantage invariably goes corporate; it goes Republican.
Historically, the Republicans have long been the party of big business, of multinational corporations, of wealthy, union-hating donors like Las Vegas casino mogul Sheldon Adelson and Amway heir Dick DeVos — and in recent decades the Democrats have followed in their wake sweeping up the crumbs (or worse). And here's the reality of a deeply corrupt system: unless Congress and state legislators act to patch up their tattered campaign finance rulebooks, the same crew with the same money will continue to dominate the political wars. (And any movement that puts its own money on changing those rules is probably in deep trouble.)
In the wake of the recall losses, the people of Wisconsin's uprising must ask themselves: Where can they make an impact outside of politics? The power of nonviolent action to create social and economic change is well documented, most notably by Jonathan Schell in his classic book The Unconquerable World. The men and women in Schell's invaluable history — Mohandas Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Jr. and his civil rights fighters, the Czech dissident Vaclav Havel, and so many others — can serve as guides to a path to change that doesn't require recall elections. Already mainstays of the Madison protests have suggested campaigns to refuse to spend money with businesses that support Walker. "Hit 'em where it hurts. Pocketbooks," C.J. Terrell, one of the Capitol occupiers, recently wrote on Facebook.
Wisconsinites could also turn to one of their own: Robert "Fightin' Bob" La Follette. He created his own band of "insurgents" within the late nineteenth and early twentieth century Republican Party. Together they formed the Progressive Party, which fought for workers' rights, guarded civil liberties, and worked to squeeze corruption out of government.
Ultimately, however, the decision on what comes next rests in the hands of those who inspired and powered the Wisconsin uprising. And with an emboldened Governor Walker, there should be no shortage of reasons to fight back in the next two years. But success, as Tuesday's election made clear, isn't likely to come the traditional way. It will, of course, involve unions; it might draw on state and local political parties. But in the end, it's in the hands of the people again, as it was in February 2011.
The future they want is theirs to decide.

Inlays and onlays are often referred to as partial crowns. They use the existing tooth as a base and fit the inlay or onlay onto the tooth. This is done to strengthen the tooth, restore its shape, and prevent further damage. An inlay is done when there is no damage to the cusps of the tooth and the inlay can be placed right on the tooth. An inlay is used when the damage is a little more extensive.
The decayed area of the tooth is first removed during the procedure. A mold of the tooth is then taken and sent to a dental lab. They create a restoration made from porcelain, gold, or a composite resin. The restoration takes about 2-3 weeks to make, so a temporary inlay or onlay will be placed on the tooth for that time. During your next visit the inlay or onlay will be placed into your mouth and set with cement. Your tooth will look natural and you or anyone else won't be able to tell the difference.

The Latest Unemployment Report: Slow and Steady Improvement
Last Friday, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) released its latest Employment Situation Summary. Going into the release, the expert consensus was for 1.58 million jobs to be added in July, and for the unemployment rate to fall to 10.5%.
When the official report came out, it revealed that 1.8 million jobs were added, and the unemployment rate fell to 10.2% (from 11.1% last month). Once again, this is excellent news as this was the third consecutive month the unemployment rate decreased. There is, however, still a long way to go before the job market fully recovers. The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) put a potential date on that recovery:
"July's payroll growth, at 1.8 million, still leaves total payrolls 12.9 million lower than in February. And yet if job gains continued at July's pace, that deficit will be erased by March 2021. If payrolls reclaim their last peak in 13 months, that would be remarkably fast. It took more than six years after the last recession."
Permanent vs. Temporary Unemployment
During a pandemic, it's important to differentiate those who have lost their jobs on a temporary basis from those who have lost them on a permanent basis. Morgan Stanley economists noted in the same WSJ article:
"The rate of churn in the labor market remains incredibly high, but a notable positive detail in this month's report was the downtick in the rate of new permanent layoffs."
To address this, the core unemployment rate becomes increasingly important. It identifies the number of people who have permanently lost their jobs. This measure subtracts temporary layoffs and adds unemployed who did not search for a job recently. Jed Kolko, Chief Economist at Indeed and the founder of the index reported:
"Core unemployment fell in July for the first time in the pandemic. That's the good news I was hoping for."
What about the housing market?
The housing market has continued to show tremendous resilience during the pandemic. Commenting on the labor report, Robert Dietz, Chief Economist for the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB), tweeted:
"Housing continues to rebound in another positive labor market report. Home builder and remodeler job gains of 24K for July. Residential construction employment down just 56.4K compared to a year ago. Total residential construction employment at 2.85 million."
Bottom Line
We should remain cautious in our optimism, as the recovery is ultimately tied to our future success in mitigating the ongoing health crisis. However, as Mike Fratantoni, Chief Economist for the Mortgage Bankers Association reminds us: "The pace of job growth slowed in July, but the gains over the past three months represent an impressive rebound during the ongoing economic challenges brought forth by the pandemic."

Eyewear Tips For The Outdoor Enthusiast
Don't let vision correction stand in the way of the activities you love!
We Provide Eyewear For Your Lifestyle
We know that the eyewear you choose for everyday life may not exactly line up with your favorite after-work activities. If you're an outdoor or sports enthusiast, managing your eyewear can sometimes be a challenge, especially if you don't have the right equipment. That's why we've compiled some eyewear tips for all of our weekend warriors out there!
Find some exercise-friendly glasses
There are many glasses options for those with an active lifestyle. Eyewear worn while hiking, biking, rock climbing or other outdoor sports will require a snug fit. Wraparound styles work well because they don't jostle around as much as other styles and also decrease sun and dust exposure.
There are also different lens options available. Polycarbonate lenses are generally better for outdoor activities because they are shatter resistant. Polarized lenses minimize glare from the sun, allowing you to enjoy your surroundings even more. Mirror lenses block additional sun glare, especially at higher altitudes and in snow. If you don't want to have to switch glasses throughout the day, we suggest photochromic lenses, which will darken when exposed to sunlight and lighten indoors or at night.
If you love winter sports, be sure to check out this helpful video about protecting your sight!
[iframe https://www.youtube.com/embed/Onugv9shZj4?rel=0 620 349]
Certain lens coatings can also be beneficial. Anti-scratch coating keeps your lenses clear and scratch-free while hydrophobic and anti-fog coatings will minimize the effects of rain, snow and fog. Whatever your preferred outdoor activity, we can help you find the right eyewear!
Switch to contact lenses
Even if you normally wear glasses, you may want to consider contacts for certain outdoor activities. Many people prefer one or the other–contact lenses or glasses–but there is no reason why you can't own both and use them according to your needs. If you wear glasses and are interested in contacts, let's talk about how they could benefit you!
See The World Your Way
We're here to help you choose the correct eyewear for your lifestyle so you can perform at your best and, most importantly, enjoy! We hope to make life easier for you, so you can see the world your way. Whether that's by hiking to the top of a mountain, kayaking a calm river or cycling through a forest trail… we'll let you decide.
