As the co-host of the Comcast TV show entitled "What's Your Gripe," I was a bit surprised to see that I was "verbally attacked" by candidate Peter Nystrom in having expressed my opinion in endorsing mayoral candidate Jon Oldfield.
First of all, folks should know that I am not a resident of Norwich, ergo I have no vote. Secondly, Mr. Nystrom shows his ignorance of the First Amendment of the Constitution regarding freedom of speech by making what I consider a frivolous complaint. Third, public cable access is available to anyone free of charge. In all respects, Mr. Nystrom, you had your chance and Norwich needs a change.

Stump it up to experience.
Thursday Night
Ahh…that's much better. My second lampwork session this week, I had to take a break because of the intense heat, and haven't torched for one month…eeek. I'm now spending time in the evenings topping up my bead levels in anticipation of the GBUK bead fair next weekend (Bank Holiday). I've made some more variations on the Hydraengea theme, some penguins and a few more dotty fish. My days are spent helping my daughter with her art projects, trying to tidy the house (bit of a no hoper that one) and trying to find time to design and make some new pieces of jewellery.
I'm also now starting to get excited about my course next week with the Michaelangelo of the bead world, Loren Stump. You can see his work at his website. I'm doing his 2 day Murrini course, which is face cane, and I can't wait, even though I'd rather be doing the Sculpture course. After my experience with Kate Fowle earlier this year, I've learnt that there's so much more to taking a class with a guru than the main subject. It's facinating to see the way other glass artists manipulate the hot glass, and watch their individual techniques. I'm sure I'll be exhausted and full of ideas when it's over.

Feel free to do it.
I'd like to say "a user may create 3 objects per hour" instead of "a user may make 3 attempts to create an object per hour".
I think, that can be really annoying for users who (try to) use such an api for the first time.
Feel free to do it.

Well today is Love our Lurkers Day and I have to say as lil one's Master that W/we are excited and thankful for all the people who come to read this blog. W/we don't get too many comments from people but W/we love everyone that reads this blog. I believe lil one started this blog as a way to express her feelings and to have a place to vent and also to get to know other people that are in this lifestyle. As most of yall know this lifestyle is not put out there for most people to see so it is great to interact with the people that also have the same thoughts and style as yourself.
I am actually shocked at how many people do read the blog. I know that lil one likes to here from different people. It is also amazing how read what Doms and subs do going through their days and how W/we in a strange way go through the same things and how each person deals with those things in their own way. It is really cool how reading that one sub is preggo and feeling that joy for her after trying so many times to get preggo. Also reading the trials that some subs go through and laughing because I know My lil one goes through those trials too.
Once again thank you to everyone that reads this blog and leaves comments and to the ones that don't leave comments thank you also for exploring O/our little world in the internet. I hope everyone continues to enjoy O/our adventures and I know W/we will continue to enjoy reading everyone elses blogs.
All about the daily struggles and challenges of life while finding my true self with my loving Master

With all of the many planting methods out there, choosing the right one will take some research on your part. For most people, using Large Wooden Planter Boxes to create a raised garden is the best option. If you do not have access to a large area of land, having planter boxes is the best way to get the growing experience they want. In order to get the right raised garden, you will first have to find the right boxes. The following are a few of the many advantages you can gain when using a raised garden.
Great for Weed Control
One of the best reasons to use a raised garden is the weed control it can offer you. One of the biggest problems most traditional growers face are weeds taking over their flowers or vegetables. By having your bed raised and not in the actual ground, you will be able to eliminate your risk for these pesky weeds. There are a number of weed free potting soils on the market that will guarantee your garden will be weed free and ready to grow. Be sure to take your time when choosing your boxes and soil to help ensure you get the right options.
A Better Soil Selection
When choosing to use a planter box you will be able to put the high-quality bagged potting soil. If you try to plant directly in the soil at your home, you may face a number of problems which may prohibit the growth you are looking for. The soil you buy at your local gardening supply store is filled with the minerals and nutrients your flowers or vegetables need to grow the right way. Using the bagged soil will allow you to get the quality results you are looking for. Visit here for more information.
Move it Where You Want
Another reason why planting in boxes is such a good idea is their portability. If you start to notice that the plants are not getting the direct sunlight they need, then you can simply pick them up and move them with no problems. This will allow you to get the optimal amount of sun needed to make your plants grow the right way. If you choose to plant in the traditional way, you will not be able to move the plants due to the damage it could cause them in the long run.
If you are in need of Large Wooden Planter Boxes, let the team at Outerior Decor Products help you out.

Howto Develop A Indigenous Mobile App In In Dreamweaver We Lined Authoring And Semantics In Earlier Posts. In This Specific Article We're Likely To Look Of Creating An Indigenous Telephone Software In At The Process. In Dreamweaver We Lined Semantics And Writing In Posts. In This Specific Article We Are Likely To Go Through The Process Of Developing A Local Telephone Software. The PhoneGap Construction Is Becoming Popular With Webdesigners Who Want To Produce Local Moble Purposes Using CSS And HTML.Incorporate Their Framework And Adobe Decided To Form Teams With Your Persons. In Order To Have The Ability To Utilize Them, With That Said, It's Essential To Mount The Android And IOS SDK's Into Dreamweaver. Remember That On The Mac Program, You Are Able To Merely Mount The Android SDK, For That Laptop, You'll Be Able To Mount Both.
There Are Numerous Daily Flights To Birmingham, In A Trip Moment Of Approximately Seven Hours.
The Android SDK Is Intended To Put In Effortlessly With A One Touch Key. Sadly, It Did Not Work-Out That Way. I Found A Series Of Articles And Info Which Directed Me By Way Of A Complicated Means Of Adding The SDK Manually (You Are Able To Find Out About Every One Of The Measures In Our Dreamweaver CS5.5 Guide Guide). Despite All That, I Used To Be Not Able To Have The Android Software To Work Properly. Not Wanting To Stop Trying, Another Research Was Performed By Me And Discovered This Doc " Android SDK Did Not Deploy" With Easy Install. All-The Ways Were Followed By Me Within This Report And Also The Android Software However Did Not Mount Correctly. At One Point, It Also Caused Dreamweaver To Freeze.
My Report Subject Will Soon Be Screws And Substitute Seat Hinges.
The Result Is I Am Unable To Show GradeMeUp You The Finished End Up In The Emulator. Notice: This Problem Does Not Seem To Be With Adobe And Is Apparently Using The Emulator. Nevertheless, It's Has To Be Addressed And A Crucial Concern. [Manager's Notice: The Android SDK Has Equipment Demands That Are Particular, And Is Not Really A Particularly Simple Software Application To Set Up. ] Nevertheless, There's Considerably About Developing A Portable Application That I – Can Show You And We'll Examine That Here. As Before, For Creating A Phone Request We're Likely To Examine Several Diverse Methods. To Get Going, The Easiest Way Will Be To Go To Record: New As Well As In The Newest Document Dialogue Box, Choose: Site From Taste: Cellular Starters: JQuery Mobile (Local) And Make Sure The Doctype Is About To HTML5. Click On The Generate Key.
The Sharpening In The Thing That Is Most Critical.
Look Over The Options Available And Pick What Type You Had Want To Use For Your First Task.
For The Present Time, I Will Take A Look At Putting A JQuery Mobile Widget To Our Layout. What I Am Likely To Do Here's To Visit The Information Area On Site Three, Erase It, Then Add A Switch Toggle-Switch Gadget From The List. I Am Going To Conserve This As Exam- When I Go Through The Save Button And App.html, The Backup Dependent Files Dialog Box Is Brought Up By It. Click Backup Also It Copies Overall The Records That Are Necessary To Produce Our Format Function. Liveview'll Be Turned By Me Down, Then Reactivate It So When You Can View On Site Three, I Now Have A Change Toggle Switch Set Up That Works As Advertised. You'll Get Ready To Create It Out When-You're Satisfied With Your Format. However, Despite Investing Many Hours On Searching For A Workaround, As I Mentioned Above, I Have Been Unable To Make The Emulator Work, However, I Can Show You The Measures You Need To Try Change The Emulator.
With Screen Printing, Several Desirable Modern Authentic Prints Are Made.
To Get Started, Goto Website: Mobile Purposes: Request Settings. Note That Each Software Has To Have A Particular Bunch Identification, And That Means You Have To Adjust Com To Your Organization Name And To Select An Identifier That'll Not Hinder Different Apps. Naming It Can Be Challenging. Next Is The Author Name And Also The Software Name. For The App Tattoo, This Can Be As Soon As Your App Is Establishing So Customers Won't View A Blank Site. The Goal Way Is For That Construct Of Your Task. As On My System There's Just One Choice: DW AVD Although For The Target OS Type, It Seems That There Ought To Be More Handle.
This Informative Article Was Submitted On December 09, 2004.
Finally, There's The Control AVD's. Key, Which Introduces AVD Supervisor And The SDK. There Seems Little Level In Discovering That Here, Since I Have've Been Struggling To Have The Emulator To Perform Appropriately. Fundamentally You Will See A Solution, Regrettably It Isn't Likely To Occur Before This Informative Article Is Posted. When You Have Had An Issue That Is Similar Installing The SDK With Dreamweaver And Also Have Identified A Remedy, Please Make Sure To Abandon A Comment Below. We Will Update This Article With Your Findings If We Find A Solution.

Queensland's two Katter's Australian Party MPs have threatened to block the upcoming state budget if the government doesn't back their proposal to cull crocodiles.
The KAP is set to introduce a bill in May that proposes several management strategies, including managed culls and crocodile hunting safaris run by local indigenous communities in remote regions of north and far north Queensland.
Mt Isa MP Robbie Katter said drastic action was needed because the problem was getting out of control.
"Our obligation is to go down there and vote for the interests of north Queensland and if people are dying and you can't get them to listen, what are you supposed to do?" he said in Cairns on Wednesday.
But Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk maintained her government's policies were working in regards to managing the crocodile population, despite acknowledging the reptiles' numbers were increasing.
The KAP's calls follow the death of a 35-year-old spear fisherman near Innisfail last month, as well the mauling of a teen in the same area a few days later.
Queensland's Labor government relies on the crossbench in the hung parliament, in particular the KAP MPs.
However, the KAP would also have to convince the Liberal National Party opposition to join them in blocking the June budget over the issue.

Application Engineer in NYC
in NYC
Dan Connor Consulting
About Me
I started coding over two decades ago on an IBM 8088 clone and an Apple II. Since then I've worked with over two dozen start-ups throughout North America. including companies based in San Francisco, Vancouver, New Hampshire, New York City, Portland, and Seattle.
I work with companies that do not have sufficient in-house expertise by acting as their techncial ally during their startup and growth phases. This generally includes:
- Finding, vetting, and hiring the best talent possible.
- Creating strategies and timelines for supporting business goals with technology.
- Establishing a culture of quality, integrity, and communication.
- Coding core infrastructure that is scalable and maintainable.
While most organizations would love an in-house technical founder, good technical allies are tricky to find and challenging to vet. Having an experienced technical ally makes it substantially easier to secure funding, launch a product, and establish a solid foundation for growth that includes qualified, in-house staff.Read my Résumé
"Dan has been an incredible asset to our small team. He's capable of jumping in anywhere in the stack. He can take on big challenges but doesn't have an ego to prevent him from doing the more menial areas of work when necessary. Beyond his skills, Dan's other trait that makes him stand above the crowd is his reliability. If you're lucky enough to attract Dan to your project you can relax knowing you can count on him to be there through it all."

Spring Volunteer Weekends
Thanks for your interest in volunteering on Star Island this spring! We can't wait to start opening up the island, and we couldn't do it without all our hard-working volunteers.
Volunteer Position Descriptions
Housekeeping and Cleaning
Housekeeping is one of the largest areas of need on the island. Our Living and Public Spaces crew (LPS!) needs help dusting, sweeping, mopping, and washing walls, windows, and furniture.
Grounds work includes mowing the lawn, killing poison ivy, and simple landscaping work. Assisting our groundskeeper may require use of power equipment for mowing and weed whacking.
Food Service
Volunteer weekends keep our kitchen and dining spaces busy! Each weekend our food service staff could use help with food prep, dish washing, meal set-up, making coffee, and other cooking and cleaning tasks.
Moving & Hauling
If you choose this work, you might be helping the truck crew move the food from the dock to the kitchen, for example. There is always a lot of work requiring strength on the island!
Help take care of the island's many flower and vegetable gardens! Tasks are varied and may include weeding, selecting and cutting flowers for floral arrangements, starting seeds, transplanting, harvesting veggies for meals, and watering. The island is also home to a small poultry flock and, if interested, volunteers may be involved in everyday poultry care and management: feeding, watering, and cleaning the coop.
Do you have professional skills you'd like to share?
Some of the work we need help with is more specialized, like painting, chair caning, carpentry, maintenance, and information technology projects. Please let us know on your volunteer application if you have experience in these areas and would like to help out!
Important Information to Consider
- Star Island spring volunteer work weekends are physical in nature. Requirements can include, but are not limited to, lifting up to 50 pounds at a time. If you have difficulties with climbing stairs or lifting objects, consider volunteering in the summer when we have less physically demanding work available for volunteers, and are just as thankful for the extra help!
- In the spring, winterized systems are not yet up and running, and facilities are limited. If this is outside of your comfort zone, you may be happier volunteering on Star during the conference season.
- Star Island is a small island in a remote location with access only by boat. Although there is a first aid station on the island, it is equipped for only basic emergency and first aid treatment and may not be staffed at all times.
- Safe and legal use of alcohol is an essential part of the community we are creating on Star Island. If you are 21 years of age, you are committing to the following – 1.) Responsible/safe alcohol consumption 2.) Never providing an underage person with alcohol (to do so = immediate dismissal). Do not apply to volunteer on Star Island if you are unwilling to 100% commit to these rules.
- While there will be time to relax and socialize in the evening, you should come prepared to put in 8 hours of old-fashioned hard work each day.
- All volunteers must be at least 18 years old.
- We seek people who want to give something back to the island they love. This is no vacation, but is a wonderful way to experience Star Island with others who share that love.
Star Island depends on dedicated volunteers who love the island to keep it well-maintained. We deeply appreciate your interest in volunteering, and hope to see you at Star Island!

I read a post by someone the other day that said something to the effect of 'it's a really rough beach, all pebbles, and footwear is essential'. Which is odd, as I swim at that same beach a lot and whilst it is pebbles they are all smooth. When it comes to what is seen as necessary kit then some of it is highly personal and is about boosting self-confidence.
Thoughts at this time of year with the temperature falling turn inevitably to winter essentials. I have never felt the need for any sort of footwear irrespective of temperature, duration or conditions underfoot (though on that score I have cut my feet so many times I think they are now mostly past it).
I do sometimes wear gloves but that's not about temperature it is because of a long standing problem from broken bones in my hand which from time to time comes back to haunt me and means something like picking up a coffee cup is quite painful (I keep straws handy just in case) and the repeated push of water on my hand can be very painful, the gloves just give support, though actually, as today, strapping my thumb to my forefinger with a hair band does just as well if not better.
I will swim on as the temperature drops, managing about 30 minutes at 7-8°C before reaching for the wetsuit, but around our bit of coast that is about where the temperature bottoms out. And I will continue to swim shorter times, much shorter times, without the wetsuit in the river which can get down to zero C.
Nevertheless it is personal preference but if you feel footwear and/or gloves and/or woolly hat and/or anything works for you then it works for you there is no universal right or wrong.

A conventional digital oscilloscope uses FFT calculations over the entire signal bandwidth up to half the sampling rate. But inadequate calculation capability means it is impossible to have a signal's detailed frequency information due to the insufficient frequency resolution from the calculation. In contrast, the MDO-2000E series analyzes just a defined signal spectrum of interest to allow engineers to effectively conduct precision signal measurements in the frequency domain. Users can input specific data of interest regarding the signal: center frequency, span, and start/stop frequency, similar to a traditional spectrum analyzer. While observing frequency domain display, engineers can observe waveform characteristics which are not easily seen from time domain waveforms, such as the harmonic composition of a waveform and the frequency characteristics of a modulation signal. Compared with an oscilloscope's FFT, the MDO-2000E series allows engineers to effectively conduct signal measurements both in the time and frequency domains.
Offering an advantage over conventional spectrum analyzers, the spectrum function of MDO-2000E series can test signals that are below 9kHz, such as audio and vibration signals. The MDO-2000E series can also test signals that have a DC component without damaging the instrument. The MDO-2000E series offers the same capabilities as real-time spectrum analyzers, but faster than frequency sweeping. This is because the MDO-2000E series utilizes advanced digital circuitry and software to render the frequency display. Ordinary spectrum analyzers process narrow frequency bandwidths which are frequency swept over time. Thousands of frequency sweeps are collected to form a spectrum. The FFT settings of ordinary digital oscilloscopes are dependent on the horizontal scale or sample rate setting, which is totally different from the frequency range setting of the MDO-2000E series. Most DSOs will have insufficient frequency resolution.
Made by the Taiwanese test and measurement specialists GWInstek, the MDO-2000E oscilloscope series are available now from Saelig Company Inc. For detailed specifications, free technical assistance, or additional information, please contact Saelig (585) 385-1750, via email: email@example.com, or by visiting www.saelig.com.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) – A Japanese energy company is dropping plans for a liquefied natural gas export facility at Port Mackenzie in the Matanuska-Susitna Borough north of Anchorage.
Anchorage television station KTUU (http://bit.ly/2ofz3wX) reports Tokyo-based Energy Resources Inc. since 2011 has considered developing natural gas from Cook Inlet.
The company's plans included a billion-dollar LNG export facility.
The general manager of the company's Anchorage office says the project can no longer be supported because of market conditions.
Mary Ann Pease says there is a glut of projects marketing to Japan and LNG prices are a fraction of what they were.
Alaska Gov. Bill Walker describes the news as "disappointing."
He says he remains confident in the viability of a larger-scale, state-owned Alaska LNG Project aimed at monetizing North Slope gas reserves.

I just double checked our tax status with the online IRS Withholding Calculator and if we don't change anything, we should get $173 in a refund. I'm happy with that. It's not a huge refund nor will we owe, which is what I want. It's not enough of a refund for me to adjust things now. I think the only reason it's coming up as a some surplus instead of a small deficit is because of the money we're losing due to my husband's one week furlough at work and we didn't get a bonus or raise this year. Anyway, one small load off my shoulders. I don't think I need to worry about taxes when they come around this year. (Last year we had to pay about $1000.)

October 24th, 2009 at 09:35 amThanks for reminding me to do this. I lost my "to do" list, but this was toward the top of it and I really need to get it done. The H&R Block web site also has a calculator that's slightly different, but it's like having a 2nd opinion. I want to make SURE we won't owe anything since the tax withholding tables were adjusted.
October 24th, 2009 at 09:41 amOoh, I'm going to go find this! I always shoot as close to zero as I can. I usually get a small refund from the state and owe a small amount to federal - nearly break even. I was so jealous of a coworker last year who got a $4 refund from the IRS!
October 24th, 2009 at 10:22 amThat's good news! It always helps to know ahead of time.
Joan.of.the.Arch Says:
October 24th, 2009 at 04:16 pmI should do that, too, as the employment situation has changed. See where we stand.
November 13th, 2009 at 04:23 pmThat is great! I have read that the closer to "even" you can lead your numbers at tax time, the less money you have loaned to Uncle Sam (at ZERO INTEREST) for the past year! I would rather have the insurance that I can make my own determinations with my money, than lend it out for free and not have any say over how it is used...

8GB Total, 4GB EXT2 File System for Persistence
Our USB thumb drive in the file copy tests is a 1GB Kingston DataTraveler 2.0. We also used a 4GB SanDisk Cruzer Micro for moving essential benchmarking files to the test machines.
Whenever we rely on a stopwatch to get time trial results, we run the test for more iterations than when our results are measured by the benchmark. Because differences are amplified on a smaller time scale, we run additional iterations for tests that take less time to complete.
We use clean and updated installations. This means that we do a full install (not upgrade) of the operating systems to the hard drive. While we use virtual machines (VMs) to capture a lot of our screen shots and to quickly reference features, no testing is done on a VM.
We like to run our operating system benchmarks using the default settings of each OS. This means that we leave preference settings (other than disabling screensaver/power management) the way they are configured immediately after a clean installation. However, we had to make some exceptions on this article. For Lucid, the Hardware Drivers utility in the System/Administration menu automatically detected the Nvidia GeForce GTX 260 and installed Nvidia driver version 195.36.15, the latest available for that OS. The Hardy test system did not detect the video card at all. This left us with no choice but to manually install the latest Nvidia drivers in order for Hardy to recognize our card. The driver version used on Hardy is slightly newer than the version used for Lucid testing (195.36.24). We had to break even further from defaults in our graphics-heavy benchmarks in the area of desktop effects due to the use of a newer Nvidia driver on the older system. See our UNiGiNE Heaven benchmarks for a full rundown of the situation.

- Conclusion
Don't blame the OS blame Logitech because the don't support Linux with good drivers
WheelsOfConfusionThere's lots of talk on the Phoronix forums about how Ubuntu + nVidia binaries don't play nicely, while some other distros don't have that problem. This was reflected in an Ubuntu vs. Arch bench-off: surprisingly, Arch only really thrashed Ubuntu in the games and everything else was about even. This might be behind those pitiful scores with the game benchmarks.
Compiz also has a measurable, negative effect on game benches with nVidia, but not so much with ATI hardware/drivers. I'm not surprised that turning off desktop effects changed the game so much.
What do you think is going on with 7zip, an ext4 issue?
RE: desktop effects - I'll be adding an ATI card to the mix a little earlier than I had intended in order to look at the desktop effects issue. Stay tuned.
RE: Gaming FPS - The interesting thing is that the actual games didn't have that big of an impact from desktop effects. It was the unigine benchmarks that showed seriously significant drops in frame rates with them enabled.
RE: 7z - I suppose it could be EXT4, but I believe EXT4 is the reason for the speed gains in all other comp/decomp tests, as well as the copy time tests. Comprehensive filesystem and archiving benchmarks under the same release should tell us whether or not it's an EXT4 issue.
apoqWhy no benchmark against Windows. You yourself said Ubuntu should be aiming to convert Windows users more than Mac users (and I whole heartedly agree with you). I love Ubuntu and I use most of the time, but every time I boot into Windows (7) I am left with the feeling of a way snappier OS. I think this is where Ubuntu is really lacking.
killerclickLinux still doesn't have the software I need so I can't use it. However I've noticed a sharp decrease in stupid problems in the past three years (prolly thanks to Ubuntu). Currently my favorite distro is Mint but I remain a Windows user mainly because of a lot of software I own and am proficient in.
As for the latest Ubuntu, why can't they have a bland business-like theme? Are the Phoenix Suns now paying them to use their colors?
samspqrlooks nice, but there are still a lot of unanswered questions, like:
* will it play 1080p24 H.264 videos smoothly, with GPU acceleration?
* will it play vimeo/youtube high-res videos smoothly?
given how good you say it is on the other fronts, I'll give it a try and see for myself (I'm currently on 8.04, so convincing me to spend an afternoon updating my systems is no small feat)
Don't blame the OS blame Logitech because the don't support Linux with good drivers
Really, just the opposite here, Win 7-64 Ubuntu 10.04-64 on same machine.
Anonymousthere is undoubtedly one thing in which ubuntu far ahead in cimparision with windows 7.
If my PC is turn on for few hours i download some files,surf on internet later on PC is unusable sooooooooooo damn slow no problems with ubuntu
After few months on windows i install/uninstall program system starts to compete with turtle in speed - boot slow, performance slow and of course i do maintainance - start up programs, services and still for me every half max one year reinstallation is a must.
Again no problems in this matter with ubuntu
Windows is just a big bin which takes everything and it doesnt matter how much RAM you have - takes it all
And i have quit high-end ring - 4 gb ram and core2duo@3,4
Windows for games and windows - only application - for daily use UBUNTU!
Stardude82Ubuntu doesn't include out of the box the wireless driver for the Mini 10 because of open source purity/licensing reasons. You have to use a wrapper and load the windows drivers which some people think is pure evil. Conversely, why Broadcom doesn't just provide open source drivers is also stupid.
Windows 7 runs so well on the new Atom platform, I doubt Netbook remix will make much inroad. Both Canonical and Microsoft have released some slick pieces of software.
I had the same problem with my Dinovo Edge and Mini. Check out http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1469533 for a fix.
Personally, I felt Lucid fell a little short again. Beriguu's issue with the keyboard is one thing. Another is my X-fi soundcard only playing out the left speaker, this seems to be a widespread issue. I know this is largly because creative won't release driver specs but it's just another reason why I can't run all my PCs on linux. I've got a great linux server running in the basement, dual boot on my main pc and vista on my home theater pc. I wish I could put linux on the last one though
And oh yeh, Bluray? Again, not really ubuntu's fault but I want my HD movies and until I can play them I won't be running linux for anything other than software development. Multimedia stuff will stay on windows

Video: Vintage Shoaib Akhtar - Hit the batsman and bowl him out
949 // 29 Mar 2013, 19:31 IST
In the 3rd ODI between Pakistan and South Africa in UAE in 2010, Shoaib Akhtar, in another display of his fiery pace bowling, hit Johan Botha's helmet with a pacy bouncer. After the South African skipper (at that time) recovered from the hit, Akhtar fired in an in-swinging yorker the very next ball to bowl him out. South Africa eventually won the match by 2 runs.

Module 3 - 06
Defining Objectives
Key Questions:
Related Tools:
Municipalities need to design a process for defining objectives
that is transparent and inclusive. Objectives need to reflect
the concerns of the municipality (as a supplier), civil society
(as consumers and worker representatives) and the private
sector (as providers) and the process will determine how well
this is achieved. For example:
Set up a series of meetings and workshops to allow all
stakeholders to express their objectives. This should
All stakeholders should be given the
to express what it is they
see to be the PPP objective.
…a framework can be used to assemble the objectives of all
the stakeholders
[See Figure 6.1].
…the one that relates to the wider municipal goals of
urban governance and urban poverty.
– political objectives;
– financial objectives;
– economic objectives;
– social objectives;
– physical/environmental objectives; and
– institutional objectives.
Some municipalities may wish to develop a simple objective
statement to include indicators. They may wish to
introduce a time frame to make the objectives tangible
and realistic. Some may be short-term objectives, for example,
to ensure all poor people have access to potable water
within 3 years. Others may be long term, for example, to
generate economic growth. Some municipalities may have the
capacity and confidence to define more quantitative targets, for
example, 70 per cent access to water-borne sanitation services;
or a 50 per cent decrease in water-borne disease.
Who is involved?

Friend Bear is one of the ten original Care Bears who first appeared on American Greetings greeting cards in late 1982, and has since made numerous appearances throughout the 1980's and 2000's Care Bears franchise. She has peach-colored fur and her Belly badge depicts two intertwined smiling yellow flowers.
If there's one thing Friend Bear knows, it's how to be a pal. She practically wrote the book on companionship, and knows that there's no greater gift in the world than a good buddy to share all of life's ups and downs. She's willing to stand beside anyone who needs a companion, consort, partner, sidekick, or just plain acquaintance. She's the social butterfly of the Care Bear team, and with her around, you're never in danger of being alone. In the original series, she is often seen with Secret Bear, and is one the few bears who can interpret her pantomimes.
No to be confused with Best Friend Bear, Sea Friend Bear, Forest Friend Bear, or Amigo Bear (whose name literally translates to "Friend Bear" in Spanish).
Original series
Land Without Feelings
Friend Bear makes her animated debut in the very first Care Bears 1983 television special. After a boy named Kevin runs away from home, he ends up in the gloomy Land Without Feelings ruled by Professor Coldheart, who turns him into a Green Creature Slave. It's up the Friend Bear and the rest of the crew to defeat the mad professor and return the boy to normal. The Care Bears in the Land Without Feelings
Care Bears Battle the Freeze Machine
In the follow-up to the original TV special, Friend Bear is among the bears who must once again stop Coldheart and his new sidekick Frostbite from tricking a boy named Paul into helping him complete his "Careless Ray Contraption" that will freeze everyone's feelings. The Care Bears Battle the Freeze Machine
The Care Bears Movie
In the very first Care Bears theatrical film, Friend Bear and Secret Bear travelt o Earth to help two children, Kim and Jason, who feel like they don't need any friends. After Grumpy's Rainbow Rescue Beam malfunctions and transports both the bears and the two children to Care-a-Lot, Friend welcomes the them in true Care Bear fashion with a song ("Nobody Cares Like a Bear") before attempting to take them back the same way. When the machine once again goes haywire, she, Secret Bear, Kim, and Jason become lost in the Forest of Feelings, where they meet their new friends, the Care Bear Cousins. When the other bears travel to the forest to look for them, they are finally reunited after meeting the rest of the Cousins, and travel to Earth together to stop a villain named The Spirit from removing all caring from the world. The Care Bears Movie
Care Bears TV series
Friend Bear makes her first appearance in DiC's Care Bears series in an episode where she and several other bears travel to Earth to help two boys named Sanford and Murphy enjoy their camping trip despite their different personalities. Camp Later, she is among another group who attempts to convince a boy named Joey to not be self-conscious about his new braces, Braces and joins a soccer game with another boy named Carl against a group of bullies. Split Decision
When Professor Coldheart rigs a children's contest to be mayor of a small town for a day, Friend Bear and some other bears travel and team up with a group of local children to stop his reign of terror. Mayor for a Day Later, when a hungry Cloud Worm threatens to literally eat the Care Bears out of house and home, Friend Bear is among the denizens of Care-a-Lot who try to convince him to go somewhere else. The Cloud Worm
Care Bears Movie II
The second Care Bears feature film tells the story of how the bears, including Friend Bear, first arrived in Care-a-Lot after escaping the evil Dark Heart. Later, when the villain propositions a girl named Christy into helping him capture the Care Bears once and for all, Friend and Secret Bear see the two working together to lure the rest of the bears into a trap, and re-group with the few remaining members of the Care Bear Family to help plan their rescue. Together with two children named John and Dawn, the team goes to Dark Hearts lair and free their friends, and even help Dark Heart himself to care and turn into a real boy. Care Bears Movie II: A New Generation
Care Bears Family TV series
Friend Bear makes her first appearance in Nelvana's Care Bears Family series as one of the contestants in the annual Care Bear Family Obstacle Race. However, when Mr. Beastly rigs the ballot to make himself a participant, she and the rest of the bears must put up with his constant cheating, with Friend Bear getting caught in a bag he hangs from a tree. The Great Race Later, though not seen, Friend Bear is mentioned in an episode where Secret Bear learns of No Heart's plan to concoct a spell to summon a "Cloud of Uncaring", but can only use charades to communicate with the others, leaving an exasperated Brave Heart to comment "Boy, if Friend Bear were here she'd be able to understand what Secret Bear's trying to tell us..." The Cloud of Uncaring
2000's series
Journey to Joke-a-lot|Friend Bear as she appears in Big Wish Movie]]
Friend Bear is a character in the first computer-animated Care Bears film, Journey to Joke-a-lot. After Funshine Bear runs away to the titular town so his practical jokes can be appreciated, he is crowned king as part of a secret plot by a rat named Sir Funnybone to steal the royal treasure, and Friend is among the bears who come to Joke-a-lot to stop him. Care Bears' Journey to Joke-a-lot
Big Wish Movie
In the second CG Care Bears video, Friend Bear is among the residents of Care-a-Lot who welcome their new neighbors, Me Bear, Messy Bear, and Too Loud Bear to the community. Later in the film, when the new bears abuse the power of Wish Bear's wishing star Twinkers, their greed eventually becomes too severe and Care-a-Lot begins to fall apart at the seems. Its up to the Care Bears, including Friend, to rebuild it in the aftermath. The Care Bears' Big Wish Movie
Adventures in Care-a-Lot
Friend Bear makes a few minor appearances in the 2007-2008 Adventures in Care-a-Lot television series.

White Bird of Paradise
March 24, 2008
Yes, yes… I worked in the Palm House at Kew so I should know this plant. Well, perhaps I did water it every day, but that was a long long time ago - perhaps I've just forgotten it. But coming across it in the new catalog from Stokes Tropicals that just arrived it really looked amazing. Strelitzia nicolai, it's called and it's a huge, 20ft, white-flowered version of the familiar orange Bird of Paradise. Likes the same conditions, too, so shouldn't be too tricky to grow – if you have a conservatory big enough or if you garden in zone 10… Florida perhaps.
Then I found it on the University of British Columbia's exceptional Botany Photo of the Day blog – with some startling pictures.
And all I can say is this:
1. Go check it out on Botany Photo of the Day blog here
2. If you're in the US you can order a plant from Stokes Tropicals here
3. If you're in the UK, the RHS PlantFinder lists a good number of mail order stockists here
Enough said.

Strenghtening the Common Travel Area
A few years' on from the withdrawal of UK government proposals to increase immigration controls between the Republic of Ireland and the UK, and as the Republic pilots a new visa waiver programme for UK visa holders travelling from Northern Ireland to the South, Law Centre (NI) Immigration Adviser Anna Morvern explores the benefits of strengthening the Common Travel Area, by way of a mutually recognised visa system or a single visa system. Read 'Strengthening the Common Travel Area' here.
Law Centre (NI) is planning to host a North South Immigration Forum on this issue in spring 2012. For further information, please contact Geraldine Scullion, Policy Officer at Law Centre (NI).

A couple of weeks ago, I wrote a post on my Facebook about how every community needs the deviant, the malcontent, the person who holds up the stupid mirror at times (sometimes ALL the time) to show the rest of the community how dumb their way of thinking might be. It got a ton of responses, and somehow transitioned over to how the fat "community" behaves online and at bashes, vs. in real life.
This past week, one of the larger social groups that run events posted the announcement of their New Year's Eve "Bash" in Connecticut. This is the same group that ran a recent event calling it the "2nd New Jersey BBW Bash" , as if to ride the coat tails of the event run by Berna and I. There are very grandiose pictures of the hotel lobby, the swimming pool, the "lit" dance floor. "Look at the beautiful hotel we're in! You'll have a GREAT time here! Come and be part of our group!!!"
You mean, come and spend money, and make the owners of that social group wealthy.
Back in July, there was a new Philly Bash, although it didn't share the same name with the original. Again, the marketing showed this beautiful hotel with all the trimmings. After speaking with a bunch of people who attended, I was told that there was NO value for the event. Further investigation showed that the money behind this event was from someone who runs a porn site, who used her son's "girlfriend" to front the event for fear that attendance would diminish if it was discovered who actually ran this event.
A bunch of lies, just to make money. Great.
Back in 2007, when we ran our first New Jersey Bash, a well known webmaster from the BBW paysite community approached us about becoming a partner in our events. Berna and Idiscussed it, and both decided it wasn't in the best interests of the people who attend our events, and it wasn't in OUR best interests either, as the person who controls the money controls the business. Berna and I continued to invest in our business, and we maintain control of what goes on at our events.
I'm well aware that for many of you, BBW/BHM/FA events are like a weekend party for you. While I'm good with that, I also think that there's a certain responsibility on all of you who attend to walk away with something more than happy crotches. We've done our best to provide entertainment from our community who speak about involvement and activism, to provide information resources, and to make you at least think about something other than getting laid. Again, I have to emphasize that my comments aren't meant for everyone who's attended our events, but you have to understand my disappointment when someone like Meghan Tonjes offers to talk about her Project Lifesize after her performance at our event, and no one approaches her about it.
A friend of mine recently responded to me about his perception of events:
I think bashes are absolutely essential, as they ARE vacation spots that can be a LOT of fun. The point I was trying to make is that there is a world outside of bashes, Dimensions, and Fantasy Feeder. Too many people (men and women included) show up with a big smile and the urge to engage in unemotional sex, but once the weekend is over, they resort to dressing like Eskimos or straying away from dates that weight more than 200 lbs; the bash is the ONLY venue they care to be themselves.
This mirror, mirror on the wall recommends that people start liberating their souls and living for themselves and for the moment OUTSIDE of sites and bashes. I wear my sexual orientation like a badge of honor, and it's earned me tons of respect from friends, family, and the workplace. I live this FA life every day…not just for a weekend in NJ or in Las Vegas.
People from our community (and I say that very loosely) need to be a little more true to themselves and accept the simple fact that they are, in no way, entitled to love, respect, admiration, or anything and everything in between. They need to assert themselves with their friends, their families, themselves, and EARN it.I think bashes are absolutely essential, as they ARE vacation spots that can be a LOT of fun. The point I was trying to make is that there is a world outside of bashes, Dimensions, and Fantasy Feeder. Too many people (men and women included) show up with a big smile and the urge to engage in unemotional sex, but once the weekend is over, they resort to dressing like Eskimos or straying away from dates that weight more than 200 lbs; the bash is the ONLY venue they care to be themselves.
So, my question to you is, do you live your lifestyle EVERY DAY, or just when it's convenient? If you're a FA, is it only to come to the bash on any given weekend, and fuck someone in the name of fat acceptance? If you're a BBW atttending these events, are you already "working" your next event while your legs are lifted high in the air at the event you're presently attending?
Me? I made my choice 14 years ago, and never looked back. My confidence in my lifestyle and in myself has made it easy for me to dismiss anyone who attempts to critique it. A few years ago I left a well salaried position in my field because my employer "discovered" my then wife's BBW paysite, and thought it was funny enough to share around the office, and later with clients. Once I found out, I had another position within 3 weeks, tendered my resignation, and threatened lawsuit against my former employer for creating a hostile work environment (there is a law that covers this).
I didn't do all of that so I could get laid over the course of the weekend…………..
So, when any of you see a post from me quoting someone else who said something negative and want to attribute it to me, as if I said the words, I give you the big old "fuck you". I talk the talk, and walk the walk. Problem is, after 14 years of me in this community, some of you idiots are still waiting for the other shoe to drop, and my "true colors" will be revealed.
I'd rather be me, than to be some of you, who sit in hallways at these events getting fucked up on 4 Loco in the name of fat acceptance.

Last Monday (Feb 7) Dunedin suffered a cloudburst which caused major flooding and many millions of dollars worth of damage. The storm was at its height during the 6.00pm news hour. Despite the broadcaster's much-vaunted capabilities there was no 'breaking news' live coverage. The big storm barely rated a mention.
To cap it off, Judy Bailley often turns to the weather presenter and says things like: 'When's it going to stop raining?" It might be raining in Auckland while the weather is fine and sunny in Dunedin. Thanks, TVAuckland.
The irony is Dunedin has a regional television station which, every weeknight, puts to air a half hour news bulletin. I think it is a miracle the way the small team at Channel 9, with a fraction of the resources of TVAuckland, is able to cobble together a very professional bulletin of local news.
Sadly, the Clark government insists on throwing taxpayer money at big TVAuckland despite its massive annual revenue, in excess of 300 million dollars. While little Channel 9 Dunedin receives not one cent.

I stayed up late last night watching The Tyra Banks Show. If you recall, my husband rather likes Tyra Banks. He thinks she has a lovely smile.
...and she didn't look fat to me.
I usually don't watch Tyra on TV, and last night I wasn't watching to discern what Tyra's got that I don't. Last night she was doing a show on a topic that I found incredibly interesting.
The Ladies of the Bunny Ranch Brothel... Tyra talks to workin' wimmins in a sensitive manner, complete with a parental warning!
I'll admit to finding the idea of prostitution in a brothel intriguing. No, I'm not going to go out tomorrow and apply for a position as a lady of the evening at the two brothels 50 miles to the west of me. I find it intriguing that simply because I have a vagina and a sense of willingness, that I can be a tradable commodity. I too could make millions in a home based business, call for your kit today!
(As an aside, I have a link to a photo of my uterus, pre and post tubal ligation, in my sidebar under "proof...no more sons." Google is bringing up the photo in image searches for "menage et trois". Hilarious...and completely free.)
When customers go to a brothel and express interest in doing business, they line up the ladies like so many chunks of meat and cheese at a deli counter. The pastrami looks very fresh today...I'll take a pound...and some potato salad too. Can I get a fork?
I wonder about how a prostitute hides those embarrassing bodily quirks we all have in the interest of customer service? What if she gets a pimple on her butt? What if she accidentally passes gas? What if the seafood she had for dinner stops agreeing with her? Does the customer get a refund if she's suddenly stricken with narcolepsy?
My husband deals with these quirks because he loves me and I trapped him into marriage. If you don't have to I don't understand why you would, much less pay a lot for it.
And how do you get around telling your latest customer that he has been your best customer this century when in reality he was no more exciting than a spoonful of milk of magnesia? I couldn't do it...I'm not that good of a salesman.
"Yeah, Dude? You suck, and not in a good way...and you were miniscule. Aww, don't cry ya wuss! NO REFUNDS! Now shoo, I've got a headache."
I guess faking an orgasm isn't that difficult.
Tyra's next shows on the calendar include:
Promiscuous Girls
Jennifer Hudson
Tyra gets on the cover of People magazine
Cindy Crawford and what it's like to be a supermodel
I'm emailing her. These shows aren't edgy enough. An expose' on the housewife blogger would bring in ratings in droves. I wouldn't have been a housewife without my vagina.

How is everything on your end? I hope all is well.
Yeah, everything's doing fine, thank you. Though it's a little tough at the moment, because of all the work to do around the record release. But we're all pulling together and we just got a distributor-deal, so it becomes more quiet for the single band members at the moment and we can concentrate more on the usual bandstuff again.
First of all, why did Toxic Waltz decide to do a full-length album first and not a demo or an EP?
Actually, we even did two demos before "Decades Of Painâ€. One in 2010 and one in 2011. We recognized that working in the studio is completely different than playing live and we had some struggles with timing for example at the first demo. But anyways it was a good experience, because we got a glimpse of what we had to improve as musicians and so we could practice more focussed and got better. After the second demo we decided the next step must be a whole album and one year later we recorded our debut.
Why the decision to make it a self-release instead of looking for a label or distributor for it?
Well, actually we looked for a label and we applied by many, but we didn't get the response we expected. Unfortunately only a few of them answered and sent us a contract to look through. But whether it was a specious contract from a small label, or we had to give them a lot of money first, so we decided to release it by ourselves.
When did you guys start writing the material for Decades of Pain, and how long did it take for everything to come together to the point where you felt you were ready to hit the studio?
The first song that got it on the album was World Of Hate, it was written in the beginning 2010. Afterwards we wrote a few other songs that weren't good enough for it so we dropped them and wrote another bunch of songs. The last song Decades Of Pain was written in January 2012. After it was done we immediately focussed on that material to be well prepared for the studio where we went in summer 2012.
What is the writing process like for Toxic Waltz when working on new material?
Usually each song starts mainly with a single riff that could be a verse or chorus or some kind of bridge – simply something where I have the vision for a song (Jimi). Then around this riff I just add some other riffs which fit to the first riff and on and on. Sometimes I also add some variations like a different rhythm or another pitch which makes them song more interesting. At the end normally I write the solos and sometimes program the drum beats. Then I show this whole song the rest of the band and in the rehearsals, we work out the details of the songs together. The lyrics are mostly written by Angelo or Me when the song structure is done, but it's not a must. Everyone in the band can share his ideas.
What were some of the bands that inspired you or the others in the band when writing the material for Decades of Pain?
Because we're listening a lot to Bay Area bands, the songwriting was automatically affected by that but we didn't want to be limited just to the Bay Area. Also other bands inspired us. Our main influential bands were Exodus, Heathen, Forbidden, Sepultura and Dark Angel to mention some of them. OK, pretty much Bay area based but that is just kind the sound we love and so most of the record is listenable influenced by that, haha!
Since Toxic Waltz has been around since 2009, is it safe to assume that you guys actually have more songs that didn't make it onto Decades of Pain? If so, why did you decide to leave it/them off the release?
Yes, as mentioned, we have some more songs but they weren't strong enough to get it on the album. We tried to put only the best songs on it with no fillers. I write a lot songs and drop them sometimes – only we I can listen to them also after a few month I decide they are good enough.
Decades of Pain sounds pretty damn good. Who did you work with as far as production and mastering goes, and what studio did you head into? Also, have you worked with these people or location in the past?
Thanks man, we appreciate it! The whole recording, mastering and stuff we did with our friend Eric Sündermann who has small studio (Mountainside Studios) in Rott (a really small village in Bavaria). Before we did the album with him we also worked with him on our second demo to check out his qualification. We knew immediately he was our man because his knowledge and musical comprehension really fitted to our needs.
From what I've read this is apparently the first major band for everyone in Toxic Waltz, but I get the feeling that's not the case upon hearing Decades of Pain. Have you guys been involved with any other groups in the past?
Angelo was already in a band before and Rahman, Flo and our Ex-drummer Tim played in music school bands. For Alex and me it was our first band with not much musical background and for all of us it's the first serious band that gets more attention.
So, with Decades of Pain available at this point, what has the reaction been like for Toxic Waltz? How has the album gone over in your hometown or Germany in general? Is it attracting some new fans?
The reaction 'til this point has been amazing. We got so many very good reviews from all around the world in such a short time, we would never have expected that. But not only the reviews, especially our friends and fans are very happy about the result of our debut-album which makes us very glad. Luckily in the internet we see a constant increase of our popularity. If this is also the case in our local area where we usually play most of the shows we will see…
I saw a picture of the album in a store on your Facebook page. Are any bigger stores carrying it, any local shops, or is it just that one location? Also, are you pushing to get the release carried in more stores, or are you content with the availability it has now?
Like I said in the beginning, we just got a deal with a distributor from Germany called "AL!VE Distribution†and we are very happy about it, because we can reach much more fans now and can sell our album in more and bigger stores and music-catalogs. The picture you saw was made in a local store in our hometown we we just put it by ourselves.
How about what's next for Toxic Waltz? Are you guys planning anything special like a tour around Germany or neighboring territories at some point, or are you guys going to take it easy and maybe do some local shows for the time being?
We sure are doing some local shows around still, but we want to take the next step and play more bigger shows and especially some festivals this year. We also want to play more shows in other countries of course. A tour would be absolutely amazing, but that's a bit difficult without a booking agency. Anyways, we are looking forward to this year what happens.
