Is President Obama trying to do too much? Given that the biggest problem on his plate -- the economy -- doesn't seem to be getting better yet, it might appear that way. Friday's job numbers showed the economy shedding another 651,000 in February.
On the Sunday talk shows, pundits started speculating that the $787 billion stimulus might not have been large enough -- and that further stimulus might be necessary. If that's the case, where would such money be coming from?
How about from the president's ambitious plans for health care, energy and education reform?
Obama told the New York Times:
"Look, I wish I had the luxury of just dealing with a modest recession or just dealing with health care or just dealing with energy or just dealing with Iraq or just dealing with Afghanistan. I don't have that luxury, and I don't think the American people do, either."
But he does have the "luxury" of dealing with all those problems in their order of importance! Funny, during his address to Congress, the president said:
My budget does not attempt to solve every problem or address every issue. It reflects the stark reality of what we've inherited -- a trillion dollar deficit, a financial crisis and a costly recession.
Given these realities, everyone in this chamber -- Democrats and Republicans -- will have to sacrifice some worthy priorities for which there are no dollars. And that includes me.
But what of his stated ambitious agenda is being sacrificed? Doesn't look like much: He assembled all the congressional heavy-hitters last week to open up early discussions on health care reform.
In sticking with campaign agenda -- regardless of changed circumstances -- Obama risks making similar mistakes as his predecessor did. Even despite conflicts in both Iraq and Afghanistan, George W. Bush refused to get off an ideological stance on taxes. Proposing a dedicated tax increase to help pay for the wars would have been controversial -- especially for his supporters on the right. But it would have been completely defensible and arguably more fiscally responsible. For that matter, even going into Iraq itself was a "choice" that could have been made at any time.
He has no choice when it comes to dealing with economic catastrophe. He does have choice with respect to his other "reforms." Yes, Obama ran on "change" -- which implicitly means more spending on various domestic priorities. But that was before the worst recession since the Great Depression. If a further stimulus is necessary, is the president willing to use the $634 billion health-reform "reserve fund" called for in his budget -- or seek money from elsewhere ?
Or does he really think that allocating even more deficit spending from outside of the budget process is truly the way to go?
Sixteen years later, the mantra of the Clinton campaign still has salience:"It's the economy, stupid."
It's admirable that the president wants to keep his promises with all due swiftness. But he has years to do so.
But jobs must be "Job 1."
If it's not, the president himself might be out of a job in three years.
Robert A. George is a New York writer. He blogs at Ragged Thots.

We are so excited you are interested in volunteering with youthSpark!
Our mission is "to advocate for children who need legal and adult protection in abusive and exploitative situations," and your support is essential to our success. However, before volunteering, we require all prospective volunteers to attend an orientation in order to learn more about our organization, understand what victim-centered volunteering entails, and how we prioritize victim-centered approaches in our advocacy, support, and research.
We anticipate the orientation will last approximately 2 hours and is led by our veteran youthSpark staff. After completing the class, you will know more about how you, as an individual or community organization, can support our work with exploited and at-risk youth. This could take the form, for example, of (a) organizing a one-time or mini-series course for our youth e.g. yoga, job interviewing, (b) having your community group donate meals for one of our ongoing youth programs, or (c) joining our broader advocacy efforts. However, before you can begin, you must complete orientation!
We look forward to meeting you!

Ron, With factory disc brakes you may ned to use 1/4" spacers with extended tip lug nuts. look in the vinyl top thread to see pictures of cars with TT wheels The blue car is pictured with both 15 x 7 (parking lot, all four) and 15 x 8.5 (car show, 15 x 5 front) wheels in the rear. hope it helps. VTThese spacers were used a lot back when the '67 Camaro first came out, with a lot of different Mag Wheel manufacturers ( including CRAGARS I remember) My brother had a '67 Camaro SS with Disc Brakes and reversed CRAGARS, and I remember that was the solution. Back-spacing was not the issue, it was the contour of the back of the spokes/hub.

English Training Centre/Circuit (Vancouver) It seems that this school can't keep it's doors open, it has changed locations and names a few times, known both as ETC English Training Circuit, and ETC English Training Centre. I have the feeling the school has probably had financial/legal trouble before and had to move and change names. Also, the school seems to have changed it's curriculum from TOEFL to Business English. I think they might be paying really low wages to their teachers, if they are not teaching TOEFL, it means they are probably not hiring teachers who are certified, which means you probably don't want to work there. You can find better schools that are truly dedicated to education, not in just taking student's money. I am sure that most of this bad reputation, is because of the school's owner Jane Solovyov, who I have heard is a really savage and abusive person. Students have told me that she is rude, arrogant, and has publicly humiliated them. It seems to me that on a whole, she is pretty terrible at managing her business, employees, and interacting with students. I've heard stories from (tutors of) students that went to ETC that say they were unfairly treated, and felt that the school practices bad, and dishonest business, and the owner has questionable ethics. I'd really recommend staying far away from this place. If the owner treats students that badly, then imagine if you were a teacher there - you probably wouldn't be treated any better. ETC and Jane Solovyov are part of a growing list of ESL schools/owners in Vancouver that are taking advantage of the huge influx of international student's desperate desire for native English instruction. You don't want to have that on your resume, so do everyone a favor and don't teach at this school, and spread the word on schools that operate unfairly and dishonestly!

Hijab is a veil that covers the head and chest, which is particularly worn by a Muslim woman beyond the age of puberty in the presence of adult males outside of their immediate family. It can further refer to any head, face, or body covering worn by Muslim women that conforms to a certain standard of modesty.
Most often, it is worn by Muslim women as a symbol of modesty, privacy and morality. According to the Encyclopedia of Islam and Muslim World, modesty in the Qur'an concerns both men's and women's "gaze, gait, garments, and genitalia". The Quran admonishes Muslim women to dress modestly and cover their breasts and genitals, but does not specify that women cover their faces or bodies as with the full-body burqa or chador. Most Islamic legal systems define this type of modest dressing as covering everything except the face and hands in public. These guidelines (for covering of the entire body except for the hands, the feet and the face), are found in texts of fiqh and hadith developed after the revelation of the Qur'an.

Layne Redmond, author, mythologist, teacher, historian and drummer par excellence, passed over early Monday morning on October 28, after fighting breast cancer for several years.
Born in 1952, Layne lived her early life in Florida, graduating from the University of Florida and doing Master's work in art. A move to New York put her in touch with well-known drummer Glen Valez, who promised to teach her how to play the hour-glass drum known as the dumbek. The Fates intervened, however, for when Layne arrived for her first class, Glen told her his ceramic dumbek had fallen and broken. He handed Layne a frame drum and, in a very real sense, Layne never put the frame drum down.
As she grew more proficient as a frame drummer, she began to teach other women and formed performance groups that did drumming rituals on the solstices and equinoxes. Traditional holidays were reimaged, as Valentine's Day became a ritual dedicated to Innana and Demuzi and reenactments were done of the procession of women drummers on the walls of Hathor's temple in Egypt.
During her 15 year research on the drum, Layne discovered a large number of ancient images of women playing the frame drum from the Mediterranean and almost no images of men and the drum. Incensed by one museum's description of these drummers as women with cakes, Layne began writing "When the Drummers Were Women," the book that explored the little-known history of the frame drum as a sacred tool, the fact that the primary percussionists for a period of almost 3000 years in the Mediterranean were women, and the reasons why that changed and the information was lost.
The book was immensely popular and translated into German, Dutch and Persian. Layne collected thousands of images, and in the majority, the drummers were Goddesses or their priestesses. The many images and histories of women with powerful spiritual authority and the use of the drum as a sacred instrument resonated strongly in the contemporary Pagan and Goddess communities. Some women's groups began to incorporate the frame drum into their sabbat rituals.
In 2000, DRUM! Magazine listed Layne as one of the 53 Heavyweight Drummers Who Made A Difference in the '90s. She was the only woman on the list, as well as the first woman to have a Signature Series of drums with Remo, one of the world's largest manufacturers of drums. Layne recorded, taught and performed internationally. Among the many things for which she will be remembered is returning the frame drum to Malta, and the group of women she taught there still performs spiritual rituals.
While performing at the UFBA Percussion Festival in Salvador, Brazil, Layne became fascinated by the spiritual tradition of Candomble. She spent the last few years filming the living presence of the Orixas in modern Brazilian culture.
When her breast cancer returned this year, Layne faced it with fierce courage, deciding to live her life fully until the very last moment. A few months ago, she began to turn her film on the Orixas into short videos she could post on Youtube. She wanted to make sure those who contributed to her filming on Kickstarter would see the results of their generosity. When she went into hospice, she told friends that she was only alive to finish that work.
Thirteen days before the very end, a friend helped Layne slip out of hospice in North Carolina and go to her 43rd high school reunion. From there she went to Manatee Springs, a place from her childhood. "Really," she wrote on FaceBook the day of her last visit, "I was raised in the womb of Oxun."
And now Layne Redmond, High Priestess of the Drum, has returned to Her. We are impoverished by her loss but immensely enriched by her life.

The New England cottontail was once so common that Massachusetts author Thornton Burgess adapted one named Peter for the children�s stories he penned a century ago.
But the critter that inspired �The Adventures of Peter Cottontail� and the enduring song that came later faces an uncertain future. Its natural habitat is disappearing, and without intervention, it could be unhappy trails for the once-bountiful bunny.
Conservationists are hoping a new program to restore shrub lands across the Northeast and captive breeding efforts will help ensure the New England cottontail sticks around for many Easters to come.
�We�re making headway, putting habitat on the ground in some really key places,� said Anthony Tur, an endangered species specialist for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. �It�s encouraging.�
New England cottontails were abundant a century ago, thriving in an environment of shrubs, saplings, weeds and vines known as young forest. But in an uncommon turn of events, it is declining human activity to blame for its lost habitat � not urban sprawl.
As neglected agricultural lands reverted to forest and those forests matured, the population of New England cottontails thinned. More than 80 percent of their habitat disappeared over the past 50 years, according to the nonprofit Wildlife Management Institute.
And now conservationists are trying to prevent the New England cottontail from appearing on the endangered species list, a designation that would require a more urgent � and costly � response that could restrict land use and hunting.
The Fish and Wildlife Service and the National Resources Conservation Service are working with landowners and zoos to restore natural habitat and use captive breeding to rebuild the population.
The government has been conducting habitat management and restoration projects for several years in collaboration with private landowners, land trusts and a few Native American tribes as they try to bring back the New England cottontail.
The New England cottontail is the only rabbit species native to the region east of the Hudson River. And while it has struggled to deal with the changing landscape, a slightly larger cousin has thrived.
Imported to the region for hunting in the early 20th century, the Eastern cottontail has larger eyes that have enabled it to avoid predators better. It multiplied steadily and is now the dominant species in the Northeast, often popping up on roadsides and in gardens.
For conservationists, protecting the New England cottontail from extinction is worthy in and of itself. But habitat restoration also benefits the dozens of other species that thrive in shrub lands, including songbirds, snakes, deer and turkey.
Tom McAvoy, a landowner in Scotland, Conn., was approached by Fish and Wildlife officials in 2011 about restoring his land to help the New England cottontail make a comeback. Inactive for the past 60 years, the former dairy farm was overgrown with invasive plants that prevented ground vegetation from thriving.
He is now opening up portions of dense forest on his land and planting indigenous shrubs on what he now calls Cottontail Farm.
The project�s scope is five years, but he said he wants to maintain it beyond that as �a legacy� for his family.
�My brother and sons have been involved in the project,� McAvoy said. �It�s important for me to teach my grandchildren as well, and keeping them active and involved in the stewardship of the land.�
The Roger Williams Park Zoo in Providence began breeding the New England cottontail in captivity two years ago.
Officials there have already released 38 young rabbits tagged with radio collars into restored habitats in Rhode Island and New Hampshire. They expect to release 100 more later this year.
�It�s a conservation priority in our region,� said Lou Perrotti, director of conservation programs at the zoo, �so we�re happy to be a part of it and will remain committed.�
He said the New England cottontail had not previously been bred in captivity, so his staff is �writing the book on husbandry and reproduction of the species.�
At a certain point, Perrotti said, the success of conservation efforts comes down to the creatures themselves.
�The old adage �they breed like rabbits,� � he said, �doesn�t always apply.�

Looking for constructive feedback on your business plan? Three forums hosted each year by the Women's Enterprise Initiative (WEI) may provide the perfect opportunity.
Sponsored jointly by the City of Newton Planning and Development Department, Pine Manor College and the New England Women Business Owners, each forum enables two Massachusetts women to make 15-minute presentations of their business plans to a panel of business experts as well as an audience of community members, entrepreneurs and other interested parties.
The idea behind the free, three-hour forums is to give women a supportive environment in which to network and voice their ideas. After each event, presenters have a one-on-one meeting with planning committee members to analyze what they gained from the forum and to determine what other help is needed, such as financing or technical assistance. Entrepreneurs are also given a videotape of the session and can take one free business training course at Pine Manor College in Chestnut Hill. Participants are also assigned a mentor to provide ongoing support and feedback.
The next forum is scheduled for April 16; interested individuals should contact Linda Walden at the City of Newton Planning Department at (617) 552-7135, ext. 104.
North Carolina And New York
Teaming up with business schools pays off.
Small businesses looking for sharp minds can benefit from two programs that connect education and entrepreneurship.
- The Urban Enterprise Corps, housed at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, matches women and minority entrepreneurs with MBA graduates from 30 top business schools around the country. The appropriate graduate is matched with the company and hired and paid by the company as a consultant for one year, with the option of renewing the relationship for an additional year.
The program targets companies in North Carolina that have at least $1 million in annual revenues, have been in business three to five years and are in high-growth industries, such as environmental technology, construction, agile manufacturing, logistics and telecommunications.
Interested entrepreneurs can begin applying in July; once a match is made, the graduate begins working for the company immediately. Entrepreneurs are responsible for paying the individual's salary and benefits, and are reimbursed for the salaries on a monthly basis. There is also a fee to participate in the program.
For more information or to apply for a match, access the program's Web site at www.bschool.unc.edu/infocenters/kenan_institute.html or call the Urban Enterprise Corps at (919) 962-1535.
- In New York, the Long Island Association's Project Long Island pairs students from one of the area's 20 colleges with local companies for internships.
Students with backgrounds in areas such as engineering and science are matched with companies for paid and unpaid internships to handle a variety of tasks. Businesses can then tap into the students' high-tech skills to help grow their companies.
Long Island entrepreneurs interested in hiring an intern should register with the association by calling (516) 295-5373. Be prepared to describe what type of intern you're looking for, what their duties will be and whether they will be paid.
Government technology aids your company.
The Federal government's laboratories are home to hundreds of research projects. Unfortunately, most small-business owners don't have the time or the know-how to weed through them to find applicable technology.
A new program at the Chattanooga-Hamilton County Business Development Center's Resource Center could make the process simpler for entrepreneurs nationwide. The SBDC is home to a library of Department of Energy (DOE) reports on subjects ranging from biomedical science and chemistry to physics and renewable energy--topics that can help you streamline your business. The center also contains the International Energy Thesaurus, a reference resource that contains information about plumbing, weatherization and hydraulic control applications.
You can contact the library for free help finding which DOE project might provide a solution to a problem in your business. For more information, call (423) 752-1774.

Thursday, 2:30 am, four drinks deep, at the old Night Gallery Space, some schmoe is coming around the crowd with a lockbox and deck of cards, telling us to hand over our cell phones. "None of this can be recorded, you guys." I get a pat down, give up nothing, phone tucked safely in my coat. Most get snagged with a grunt or a whine. The process is endless. My traveling companion is on his third cigarette. (If there is one redeeming quality of this VIP-themed performance series / curatorial-themed party called Top 40 that has smeared across my last few weeks, it's that you can smoke inside.)
We're recovering or repressing. We just watched Vishwam Velandy leave a series of messages for women he claimed to have slept with, informing them, between "uhhs.." and chuckles, that he had seen a doctor and they'd better too, because he'd just been diagnosed with HIV. Then, after endless minutes, I'm getting squashed with elbows and shoulders, alternately averting my eyes and craning for a view of the floor in front of the DJ booth, where, with frat party fanfare, Eugene Kotlyarenko's girlfriend is inserting a zucchini into his ass, and a curious, deeply unpleasant combination of boredom and offense is flowering in my insides like Giardia.

Let me be very clear: director Gareth Evans' The Raid, an Indonesian martial arts epic that tracks a SWAT team sweeping through a highrise infested with drug dealers, is a phenomenal action movie that demands to be seen. Thankfully, Sony Pictures Classics will be releasing it on March 23, so everyone needs to circle their calendars right now. Trust me, once you see this, you'll understand why every critic at TIFF and last week's Sundance Film Festival was raving. It also explains why Screen Gems acquired the remake rights. It's really that good.
While at Sundance I was able to sit down with Evans for an extended interview. We talked about getting The Raid into both TIFF and Sundance, getting the project financed, how they pulled off the action scenes, film vs. digital, and the American remake. Evans is currently doing pre-production on the sequel, so he revealed the working title (Berandal, which means Thug), the budget, how he wants to shoot in anamorphic widescreen, the expectations, and how he wants to incorporate a car chase. He says, "I want to bring car chase elements to it as well. So we have like a cool fight scene where you go inside a car, fighting against four people as it's speeding along a one-way." Hit the jump for more.
As usual, I've time indexed the interview so you can watch the parts that interest you. Also, I've pulled some of the quotes. While many of you haven't seen The Raid yet, trust me, you're going to love this movie. Make sure you see it.
- :29 Talks about having his film at both Sundance and the Toronto Film Festival.
- 1:12 The nearly universal praise for the film. Says they finished the film one week before Toronto and were pretty skeptical about the reception going in.
- 2:11 Getting the project financed. Says The Raid was actually a backup project to another film that had a much higher budget but didn't get the go-ahead.
- 3:43 How much did the project change from the initial idea to the finished film? Says they did a lot of pre-vis and planning for the martial arts and action scenes, so those were plotted out well beforehand. Evans takes a small camera and films most of the movie beforehand in order to plot everything out, and says he's basically refilming those scenes once he gets on set.
- 5:16 Talks about The Raid trilogy. "I told you earlier about a film that we tried to get up off the ground and couldn't get done. While I was developing The Raid, I was looking at ways to kind of link those two scripts together because we had done all this choreography on that first film, we were like ready to go we just needed the finance to pull the trigger on it. Because I didn't want to just abandon that project, I started to look at ways we could link the two together. So the one problem I had with that original script was that the lead role didn't have an interesting enough backstory. As I was thinking about it, I thought 'Well if I make this a continuation of the story from The Raid, it'll work much better, and it'll kind of add more ideas and add more different elements to it,' so it's actually gonna be the sequel to The Raid. We're in a position now where we can finance that movie, which is great (laughs). So yeah, it's a big relief now. For three years that's been the itch I couldn't scratch, so I'm kind of dying to kind of get stuck in and do that film next. That'll be part two. Part three [will be] further down the line. A lot further down the line."
- 6:28 Talks about what he had to change from the previous story to make it fit as a Raid sequel. Says the standalone story from the previous one could work as an undercover cop or it could work as an ordinary guy who finds himself in extraordinary circumstances, so they only had to change about 20% of it. Talks about how every time he adds a new scene, he has to go back and check the rest of the script to make sure he's not contradicting anything.
- 7:27 The title for the sequel. Doesn't want it to be The Raid 2 because it doesn't take place in a building, they're taking the story out. The working title has been Berandal, which is Indonesian for thug, but he says they're most likely going to change it.
- 8:17 The budget for the sequel. Says they've increased the budget a little from the initial budget for the original story, but it's not a huge amount. The Raid was about $1 million and the budget for the sequel will be about $3 million. Talks about what the bigger budget will mean for the sequel: "For my first movie I kind of wanted to play around with how to do martial arts scenes, for the second movie I wanted to include gunplay and martial arts (The Raid), and the third one, for The Raid sequel, I want to bring car chase elements to it as well. So we have like a cool fight scene where you go inside a car, fighting against four people as it's speeding along a one-way."
- 9:22 Film vs. digital. Says he's always shot digital just because it's more cost effective for their martial arts films. They do so many takes that it would be really expensive on film. Says they never get the shot in less than 10 or 12 takes.
- 10:11 What camera did they shoot on and what equipment did they sue on The Raid? Says they used the Panasonic AF-100.
- 10:41 Says they're considering their options for the next film, camera-wise. They're going more classical-style, he wants to shoot in anamorphic.
- 11:23 His involvement in the American remake of The Raid. Says he's an executive producer and he'll have a say in some things but not everything. He wants to keep his distance and let the filmmaker do it with a fresh pair of eyes. Screen Gems wants to get the same choreographers from The Raid involved with the remake.
- 12:30 Did they buy the remake rights to sequels and prequels or just The Raid? Says he's not entirely sure.
- 13:09 Expectations. Does he feel pressure to up himself on the sequel? Says he felt pressure while shooting the film because Sony bought it at Cannes when he still had a month left of filming.
- 14:37 How wide of a release will the film get in the US? The plan is to go limited the first week and expand according to how well it does.

If you were lucky enough to eat at Peter Chang's place earlier this month, you probably noticed the Pho on the menu. That's because Chang had a Vietnamese chef visiting from Las Vegas for a few weeks. Chang has also introduced a few new dishes, displayed here. As previously reported, the restaurant has been swamped since opening, with people having to make dinner reservations weeks in advance.
Did someone say pho? ;P
I was lucky enough to eat Pho on the last day the visiting chef was there - yum, and so beautifully presented.

- "Highest upgrade of the Verdimillious Charm. Useful in duelling."
- —Description[src]
Verdimillious Tria is the incantation of a charm that produces green energy from the wand by means of sparks and electrical discharge. This release can be used in duelling to harm an opponent; if used numerous times on a werewolf the beast will be subdued.
This is a less powerful version of the Verdimillious Charm and of the charm Verdimillious Duo; it is stronger than either and the green discharge will go a further distance than its precursors.
Professor Quirinus Quirrell taught his first year Defence Against the Dark Arts class this spell along with the Verdimillious Charm and Verdimillious Duo Charm. Professor Gilderoy Lockhart later revised it with his second year class of the same subject.
This incantation is most likely derived from Latin "viridis", meaning "green" and French "mille", meaning "a thousand". The modifier "tria" means "three".
Behind the scenes
- This charm may be related to Verdillious and Vermillious.
- This incantation is the highest known upgrade of the Verdimillious Charm.
- As this has only ever been seen in its offensive capacity throughout the games it is unknown whether it would have the same revealing properties as is precursors.
- Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (video game) (GBC only)

Extreme ASP.NET Makeover: Getting Your House in Order - Source Control
Version Control
All software development projects should use a version control system (VCS) for tracking and coordinating changes to code files and other project artifacts. The size of the project team doesn't matter as even a single developer benefits from using version control. If you are still using ZIP files to track changes to your source, you should reconsider.
A VCS helps a team coordinate changes to source code and other artifacts during development. If a developer tries to commit changes without updating to the latest version in the repository, the VCS will require the developer to update before committing. This will give the developer a chance to resolve any conflicts that may be present. The VCS also prevents one developer from accidentally overwriting the changes made by another developer.
A VCS also acts as a safety net for developers. If a developer makes a change that breaks the application, the change can easily be reverted by rolling back to a build with the latest known good state in the repository. Even if the change has been committed to the repository, it is possible to revert the change. Modern version control systems support branching, merging, and diffing. (For definitions of these and other terms, please take a look at our Glossary.) They can answer questions such as who last changed this code, what changes were made, and which other files were modified at the same time. They prevent developers from accidentally overwriting other changes either via edit/merge or a pessimistic locking (also known as checkout) mechanism. Although it sounds dangerous at first glance, edit/merge causes less friction on a development team and works better in practice than pessimistic locking. In most cases, merges happen automatically because developers are working on different parts of a code file. If developers happen to be working on the same part of the codebase, they should probably be coordinating their efforts somewhere other than the VCS.
There are many modern version control systems available today. For open source projects, the most popular—and free—choice is Subversion (SVN) and it is supported by most open source project host sites, such as SourceForge, Google Code, and CodePlex. (CodePlex actually uses Microsoft Team Foundation Server for source control, but hosts SvnBridge, which allows Subversion clients to talk to Team Foundation Server.) In corporate environments, teams often install these same version control systems, such as Subversion (SVN) or Team Foundation Server , behind the firewall.
The ScrewTurn Wiki project manages its source code using Subversion. If you want to get started with Subversion, I would recommend downloading TortoiseSVN (http://tortoisesvn.net), which is a Windows Explorer Shell Extension and provides context menus for source control operations. TortoiseSVN will also optionally install the command line tools, which allow you to use Subversion from cmd.exe or PowerShell. Let's take a quick tour of Subversion and TortoiseSVN ( see Figures 2 and 3):
Figure 2 TortoiseSVN File Manager View Showing Overlay Icons
You will notice the icon overlays in Figure 2, which is TortoiseSVN indicating the current status of a file/directory. (Green check = no pending changes; red exclamation = pending changes; question mark = not versioned; grey dash = ignored file) If you right click on a file/directory, as shown in Figure 3, you can see the TortoiseSVN context menu appear.
Figure 3 Context Menus for Source Control Operations
branch: A temporary development line in a VCS repository. Often used while creating a patch, stabilizing a release (while development on the trunk continues), or experimenting with a new (and disruptive) feature.
changeset: Combined set of changes that should be atomically committed to a repository.
commit: Send a changeset to the VCS repository.
diff: Changes made to a file.
merge: Integrating multiple changes into a working copy. The changes can be from a different developer working on the trunk or from another branch.
patch: Changeset expressed as a single file that can be electronically sent to another developer.
tag: An important milestone in a VCS repository, such as a publicly released version (alpha, beta, full release, or patch). Similar in concept to labels in VSS.
trunk: The main development line in a VCS repository.
update: Retrieve any changes made to the trunk (or branch) since last update.
working copy: Local copy of a project checked out from a VCS repository.

text: Dan Voorhis The Wichita Eagle The amount of wind energy generating capacity in Kansas more than doubled in 2012, boosting the state into the top 10 states for wind power, according to a new report by a wind energy trade group. The American Wind Energy Association, which officially released its report on Thursday, said Kansas installed 1,441 megawatts of wind generating capacity last year - third among states for growth - and now has 2,713 megawatts of capacity. That amounted to about $2.5 billion in investment, said Liz Salerno, director of industry and analysis for the association. Wind farms in Kansas produce at about 35 to 40 percent of their capacity because wind blows intermittently. Texas remains the state with the most generating capacity, at 12,214 megawatts. California is second at 5,544 megawatts. Those two states also added the most in 2012. Overall, the nation added 13,131 megawatts of capacity for a $25 billion investment, the most in any single year. The country now has 60,000 megawatts of capacity. "Wind energy had a banner year in 2012 with $25 billion invested, and wind is the No. 1 source of all new energy," Salerno said. Driving the boom in 2012 was the prospect that a federal subsidy of 2.2 cents per kilowatt-hour for the first 10 years, called the production tax credit, would expire at the end of the year. Developers rushed to get projects finished in case the tax credit wasn't renewed. The credit was renewed for a year as part of the fiscal cliff bill, but the law now requires that a wind farm only be started in 2013 to qualify. Many wind farms are now in the development pipeline for this year and next. Skeptics of wind power say all energy sources should compete equally on cost and that subsidies skew the system, increasing the overall cost of energy. These skeptics have attempted to overturn mandates by state legislatures, including in Kansas, that require utilities to acquire a certain percentage of their energy from alternative sources, usually wind energy. Salerno said the subsidies pay for developing the wind infrastructure until wind can compete evenly. Kansas utilities are already close to or have met 15 percent of their energy from wind by 2016 and are on track to hit 20 percent by 2020. Although most future Kansas wind farms will ship energy out of the state, keeping the mandate for Kansas utilities is important, said Salerno. "It's a signal that Kansas is open for business," she said. Reach Dan Voorhis at 316-268-6577 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Brad Pitt Confesses: 'I Have Super Powers!' We Knew It!
Brad says he filmed Megamind "for my babies," when he turned up with Maddox and Pax at the animated film's Nov. 3 premiere!
Brad Pitt is supposed to be in Budapest, but it looks like he traveled a long way to attend the New York premiere of his new movie Megamind last night (Nov. 3)! And while he posed for photos on the blue carpet alone, his sons with Angelina Jolie, Maddox, 9, and Pax, almost 7, snuck through the back door into the AMC Lincoln Square theater! "At the end of the day, it's my kids," he tells UsMagazine.com when asked why he signed on for the animated flick. "I did it for my babies … I'm sneaking the boys in there now!" It seems like he wanted to share Megamind with people who would love it the most — his kids!
90210's Trevor Donovan says he looks like Shiloh Jolie-Pitt! Do you agree?
Brad, 46, voices the character Metro Man, a superhero who also wants to sing, in the animated flick, which is set to hit theaters on Friday! When asked if he had any awesome super powers of his own, Brad says, "Yeah. I'm a father of six! I mean, I'm a dad and with that comes some super powers. I just thought it would be kinda cool to be in this movie." The film also stars Will Ferrell, Tina Fey, Ben Stiller and Jonah Hill!
Watch the first 5 minutes of Megamind! Click here!
Although Metro Man wants to be a singer in the movie, Brad says he should not and does not show off his vocal chops for his family! "Oh no! I want them to be influenced by a proper singer," he tells Extra. "That's one talent I do not have."
Inside the Jolie-Pitt's mega mansion in Hungary!
The jet-setting Jolie-Pitt clan, who celebrated Halloween in Hungary — "I was sort of a bunny," Brad says — plan on cooking up a Thanksgiving feast no matter where they are at the end of November. "I'm not really sure where we'll be for it, but yeah, it'll be overseas. We'll whip up a turkey somewhere," Brad laughs. "We are like a military mobile unit."
New school in Budapest — Maddox has come out of his shell and
Pax has a girlfriend!
We hope Maddox and Pax enjoyed watching their dad voice an animated superhero! We're sure they had a great time!

The way this game works is every time the word f**k is used (in any form, ex. f**king, f**ker, etc.), or the word dude (in any form, ex. "his dudeliness, the dudester, etc.) is used, you take a drink. If you've seen the movie, you'll know that after five minutes of playing, you should be dialing 9-1-1. The main character's name is "Dude" and swearing, especially with the f-word, is quite excessive. Because both dude and f**k are used so much during the movie that we altered the rules to include that you can choose to only drink when one or the other word is said.
I can promise you this: Playing this game makes the movie make a lot more sense.

How To Care For Your Bag
Your Cambridge Satchel is made from 100% natural cow leather and is a hard wearing product that will last if cared for in the correct way. We recommend that you take the following measures to get the most out of your satchel:
- Please avoid using your satchel in heavy downpours. If the leather does get wet, please wipe off any excess water and allow to dry naturally. Following this we would recommend that you apply a leather protection cream to help repel water and nourish the leather, however please remember to test any product on an unobtrusive section of your bag beforehand.
- Although leather is very durable, it is not indestructible. Exposure to extreme cold or heat and improper care or cleaning can crack and dry leather skin, remove finishes and colours.
- If left in direct sunlight there is a chance the colour of your satchel may fade.
- You may choose to care for your leather satchel as with other leather products using an appropriate protector. Please remember to test any product on an unobtrusive section of your bag beforehand.
- Your bag will age over time, please don't panic as this is normal as it is a natural product. Ordinary Vaseline works well on minor scuffs and abrasions to buff your satchel.
- Please be aware that highly coloured dyes in the leather may transfer across to lighter clothing and vice-versa - we cannot accept responsibility when this occurs.
Special Care is recommended on the following products;
- Bridle Leather - The Bridle leather is soft and supple, with natural variations that will add character with age. Due to the natural characteristics of this leather, some colour transfer may occur. Therefore care should be taken when wearing against light coloured clothing. Exposure to rain and prolonged exposure to sunlight should be avoided. It is recommended that a Water Stop spray is used for added protection.
- Blazer Leather - The Blazer leather is soft and supple with natural variations and creasing that will wear and character with age. It is recommended that a Water Stop spray is used for added protection.
- Metallic Care - Due to the delicate nature of this metallic finish some surface finishing may be lost with time and abrasion. This cannot be re-applied. It is recommended that a suitable metallic protector is used for added protection.
Printed Leather - Due to the nature of the printed finish on some of our bags, some surface finishing may be lost with time and abrasion. The printed finish cannot be re-applied, so it is recommended that you use a suitable protection spray on your bag.
We would suggest you use the Carbon Pro or Carbon Pure Spray, as this will help to protect the print further.
We recommend the following care products from Collonil to assist in prolonging the life of your bag. These are all available to purchase in our stores (please note: this link will take you to our £ GBP website).

Sasquatch Poker SkillsSubmitted by John Roderick on May 19, 2008 - 12:00am
Originally published in Seattle Weekly
A few years ago I was invited to join a small, friendly poker game that was just starting up among a group of Seattle music people. I knew most of the players already, or knew them through friends, and although we were keeping it friendly we were playing for large enough sums that there was an unmistakable intensity to the game. I remember the first time I went "all in" risking $200 of my own money on a stupid bluff, the sweat was pouring down my face. I lost that $200, (to Chad Q who books the Showbox, lucky bastard), but we've been playing for a couple of years now and I've won a few too.

A friend and I were riding our Vespas over in West Seattle a couple of weeks ago when we rounded a corner and came face to face with a full-grown coyote standing in the street. His body-language and his tremendous ears gave him away from a distance: not a dog. Low-slung, grey and slinky, his tail bushy as a squirrel's, he moved like a thief. By the time we pulled our Vespas to a stop he'd scooted up into the brush, but he peered back at us for awhile before dissolving into the shadows. Despite his wild manner he seemed perfectly unflustered on the manicured hillsides of Fauntleroy. My friend and I were jumping around with excitement, but a neighbor in his driveway gestured unperturbed (Mr. Cool West Seattle) to a sign on a nearby telephone pole, which read, "A family of coyotes is eating cats, so BEWARE!"

I've talked a little bit about rock and roll lifers, but there are many different types and I should probably define my terms. The rock lifers of song and story, the ones we admire the most, are perpetual teenagers not good for anything else. They don't have a "back-up plan", they don't ever quit playing music to "get serious", and they don't change their style to suit the fashion. They smell like cigarettes. Most of these rock lifers have day jobs, because playing music pays for shit, but their job is just a transparent formality. Music is their entire identity. Bear this in mind if you're considering getting married to this type of rock lifer.

Seattle in 1994 was like Dawson City in 1898, two years after the gold rush. The bloom of Grunge was past, long past, but the massive influx of young people to the city had barely slowed. Clusters of shivering kids crowded the street corners in their plaid shirts and pre-dirtied boots, wondering if maybe they should give heroin a try. College dropouts from Florida and Minneapolis grew their hair like Chris Cornell and drove their Buick Skylarks to Seattle, sending the price of Fender Jazzmasters skyrocketing. Every garage and basement from Everett to Olympia had a knot of sweaty young guys angry about being breastfed too little or too much, screaming tunelessly over humorless dropped-D grinds. The Crocodile, the Colorbox, Moe's, Rockcandy and the Off Ramp were all slinging the Long Island Iced Teas, and the premier Grunge bands were raking in multi-platinum sales, but the city had jumped the shark.

For those readers unfamiliar with the work of my band, The Long Winters, I'm going to delve into the history of my little corner of the Seattle music scene in order to answer the question: "Why does this ding-dong have a music column for the Seattle Weekly"? Seattle has produced four or five complete generations of music in the time I've been hanging around, and although I played almost no role in any of them, I witnessed them all from the back of the bar. The life I lead now, as a singer-songwriter with a full-time band and a small but devoted legion of fans, would have been inconceivable to me when I first arrived in Seattle, even more unlikely after I'd been here a while, and I expect still hard to comprehend for some of the musicians who've played alongside me.

A few years ago my sister, who is a few years younger than I, took a greater interest in psychology. She'd always been an adventuress, a mountain girl and a road warrior, but had reached a point in her life where she wanted to meet a nice man who was considerate and with whom she could fall in love. She couldn't understand why, from the wide selection of skaters, snowboarders, surfers, hitchhikers, card sharps, crab fishermen, jugglers, smoke jumpers, pickpockets, pearl divers, flat-track racers and trance DJs she called friends, there weren't any dependable, trustworthy guys who were capable of love.

I've had a very busy week, flitting from this high-society party to that glamorous music industry shindig, hobnobbing with famous and brilliant artists and musicians, and brooding introspectively in front of a crackling fire with a beautiful Russian double-agent, but unfortunately the various non-disclosure agreements I was coerced to sign prohibit me from even referring to those events in print. Instead, I intended to offer my exegesis of the book of Deuteronomy, (which bares a surprising resemblance to the later work of Don Rickles,) when I received a curious letter from my editors at the Seattle Weekly.

I've always enjoyed taking long walks around Seattle, especially late at night. Nosing around in secluded neighborhoods, sneaking up dark alleys, and peering over fences are not just the stuff of great blues lyrics, they're also the innocent pastime of a bored, curious and solitary type of person. Entertainment options are limited for those night owls who hate TV, and the local geography is completely fascinating at any hour. Over the years I've discovered most every shortcut, intruded upon every hidden houseboat harbor, and tiptoed around every overgrown shack with a yard full of washing machines and crab pots between Greenlake and West Seattle. In my early twenties I would pack two Grolsch beers, a pack of Old Golds, some weed, a journal and a flashlight in my trusty East German gas mask satchel and stay out all night dumpster diving and chasing cats. What a stupid hippy I sound like I must have been. These days I don't drink, smoke or chase cats, but I've kept on wandering the city like a tramp and keep discovering new things. Now that I'm living in the south end of town there's a whole new world to be explored!

My band and I have crashed on many a generous person's floor, and scarfed the last Top Ramen of many an angry roommate over the years, so now that I have a place of my own I feel a karmic debt to the rock-n-roll universe that will be years in the repaying. Unfortunately, as is the way with all things, when it comes to my new house the last thing I want is to have a bunch of stupid bands stinking up the place. I feel like Eddie Murphy in Trading Places, "Who has been putting out their Kools on my floor? Have you people ever heard of coasters?"

Future deep-space missions drive ESA ground station evolution
An international workshop being held at ESOC has highlighted the potential to develop the 'ESTRACK' ground station network into a more cost-efficient, high-tech system while offering significant opportunities to private industry, as well as cooperation with academia.
Speaking at the TTC 2007 Workshop, managers at ESOC, ESA's European Space Operations Centre, have given engineers, scientists and managers from partner agencies, academia and industry an insight into possible future developments of the Agency's ESTRACK ground station network.
"We foresee a new evolution for ESTRACK based on the potential to shift operation of some stations to commercial operators, who could exploit economies of scale using the stations' mature technologies," said Jean-Francois Kaufeler, Head of Ground Systems Engineering at ESOC.
His comments came on the opening day of the 4th ESA International Workshop on Tracking, Telemetry and Command Systems for Space Applications being held at ESOC this week.
The ESTRACK (ESA Tracking) network consists of eight core stations located in Europe, Australia and South America.
ESTRACK: eight core stations on three continents
Six of these, located in Kourou (French Guiana), Maspalomas, Villafranca (Spain), Redu (Belgium), Kiruna (Sweden) and Perth (Australia), comprise smaller antenna terminals, typically 15 metres in diameter, using tried-and-proven communications technology.
These stations provide ground controllers at ESOC and at partner agencies the ability to transmit telecommands to spacecraft and receive scientific data and telemetry; stations also enable services such as range determination, Doppler measurements to determine the spacecraft's trajectory, and testing and simulation.
These stations can communicate with satellites in a variety of orbits, including low-Earth, highly-eccentric, geostationary and near-interplanetary, such as orbits about the Sun or Moon.
These 'classic' ESTRACK services represent a mature set of space services that could be provided efficiently to almost any governmental agency or commercial spacecraft operator as a customer.
Delta-DOR is one of our new deep-space capabilities that meet the requirements of future missions, not only for ESA but also for our international partners.
In contrast, the two newest ESTRACK stations - DSA (Deep Space Antenna) 1 at New Norcia, Australia, and DSA 2 at Cebreros, Spain - comprise giant 35-metre antenna terminals; ESA plans to build a third DSA station at an American longitude in the 2010 timeframe to provide optimised coverage.
ESA's deep-space stations match future requirements
The new DSA stations are capable of tracking and ranging spacecraft in deep space, potentially exceeding hundreds of millions of kilometres from Earth, and are equipped with sophisticated new technology that enable scientists to conduct radio science experiments and determine spacecraft location using the highly precise 'Delta-DOR' technique.
"Delta-DOR is just one highlight of our new deep-space capabilities that meet the requirements of future missions, not only for ESA but also for our international partners," says Nicolas Bobrinsky, a ground stations expert at ESOC and Chairman of the TTC 2007 Workshop.
Due to the large size of their antenna reflectors - 35 metres - and enhanced electronic sensitivity, DSA stations can receive more data at substantially higher rates from distant science and exploration missions, such as Venus Express and the comet-chaser Rosetta, compared to the 15m stations; they also use advanced mechanical stabilisation technologies as well as cryogenic cooling and dichroic mirrors.
In the future, planned ESA missions will require more of these advanced DSA station capabilities and less of the classic services.
Strong business potential
As a result, ESOC managers believe there is strong business potential if operation of the smaller ESTRACK stations evolves on a commercial basis, where in some cases a transfer of ownership to a private operator could be considered.
"Such an evolution would follow previous highly successful spin-offs of ESA technology that have benefited industry, including the creation of a commercial launcher operator for Ariane and the establishment of EUMETSAT, the European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites, to provide dedicated weather services," said Kaufeler.
Kaufeler says that this evolution for ESTRACK would allow the ESA owned-and-operated DSA stations to continue serving as research test beds for new tracking technologies and techniques focussing on scientific deep-space missions, while the smaller stations could be used to offer commercial tracking services.
"This would give private industry an excellent business opportunity based on mature technology, enhanced efficiency and proven capabilities," he added.
The 15m stations will, however, remain indispensable during the critical early phases of ESA missions, regardless of how they are operated.
"The evolution of the ESTRACK system must be planned in consideration of the overall evolution of tracking and ground station technology, which includes confirmed trends towards higher frequency bands, greater stability and more precise location requirements. For ESTRACK, this also means responding to the stringent requirements of the missions envisaged in ESA's 'Cosmic Vision' long-term plan," says Bobrinsky.
International harmonisation and cooperation
Another key theme emerging from the Workshop is that of international cooperation and standardisation.
"Like everyone, Germany is sharing ground stations in order to rationalise resources and boost efficiency. We've worked with the Indians, ESA, the Italian space agency ASI and the Swedish Space Corporation, among others. It's absolutely essential," says Martin Pilgram, a ground stations expert at DLR, the German Aerospace Center, and one of the Workshop organisers.

TTC 2007 Workshop
The workshop is being attended by more than 250 delegates from over 20 countries and continues at ESOC through Friday.

Smoothing The Rough Spots
Here Is A Basic Look At Fixing A Frustrating Problem
Bodywork in general can be seriously frustrating work, to say the least. Even seemingly small dents can turn into a whole bunch of work if not approached properly. To fully understand what happens to sheetmetal when it is dented, you must remember that it stretches out of shape. Here in lies one of the most frustrating aspects of bodywork. If the metal would just pop back into shape, we'd all be expert bodymen. The simple fact is that after metal has stretched, it either needs to be shrunk back into shape or, at the very least, worked back out as close to straight as possible, followed with a thin skim coat of body filler. No matter what anybody says, there is nothing wrong with a little body filler as long as it is applied properly, especially for someone who doesn't have the time to learn bodywork as a profession, or have the time to practice on a regular basis. For just this reason we will take another look at some basic bodyworking techniques that anyone can accomplish and use to become a better bodyman, or at the very least give you some basis for trying your hand at something you may not have ever thought you could.
There are some tools you will need to have on hand, but the good thing about that is you will own the tools and be able to practice whenever you want. The tools we're talking about are basic stuff, like an assortment of body hammers and dollies, body filler and filler spreaders, a gallon or so of lacquer thinner for cleanup, an autobody cheese grater tool, an electric or pneumatic grinder, and an assortment of body-sanding blocks and paper of varying grits. For most bodywork involving body filler, you will need 36-grit paper for fast knocking down of filler, them some 80-grit to smooth it all out before applying primer.
When we went looking for reasonably priced body tools like the ones described above, we found more than a few companies offering kits. Some of the best prices we found were from companies like the Eastwood Company, TP Tools, and even--when on sale--Craftsman tools from Sears. Yet another option we have used in the past is to cruise your local automotive swap meet for used tools. It's probably a better idea to pick up a new grinder rather than at the swap meet, but as far as hammers and dollies go, used ones work just fine. Spending a lot of money on tools might be better done after you have spent some time with bodywork and feel it is something you want to keep doing, whether for yourself or for a job.
So take a look at this quick tutorial on how to smooth out a fairly rough-up body panel. Sorry to Brookville Roadsters for banging up a perfectly good Model A cowl, but as we're sure they are fully aware, stuff happens.
