RSPCA Bluebell Ridge
Can you help local rescue cats in need?
RSPCA Bluebell Ridge rescues and rehomes over 200 abused, abandoned and unwanted cats in Hastings and Rother each year and we desperately need your help to continue with our vital work.
Bluebell Ridge is owned and operated by the RSPCA Sussex East and Hastings Branch, which is a separate charity within the national body and is entirely self-funded. Each year we have to raise over £150,000 to keep our centre open and we heavily rely on the generosity of local supporters and businesses to do this.
It doesn't matter how much you raise for Bluebell Ridge, every pound will go towards keeping our work going to rehabilitate and care for the cats at our centre, as well as showing them, possibly for the first time in their lives, some genuine human kindness.
From tiny, frail kittens to older cats with special requirements, we provide a lifeline for all cats and we hope you can help us.

Rye Harbour Nature Reserve is one of the largest and most important wildlife sites in England, set in an exceptional coastal and wetland landscape and home to 4,500 varieties of plants and animals, including more than 300 considered nationally rare or endangered.
Sussex Wildlife Trust, who manage the Reserve in partnership with the Friends of Rye Harbour Nature Reserve and other partners, have identified the need for a purpose-built visitor centre to replace Lime Kiln Cottage which is cold and damp. Plans and a public fundraising campaign are well advanced for the new Discovery Centre, but we need your help to raise the remaining one-third of the funds required.
Golden Plovers have a distinctive appearance and through careful habitat management now form large wintering flocks close to the Discovery Centre. A prominent wildlife artist, Bob Greenhalf, has designed a flock of wood cut, flying Golden Plovers, which will permanently decorate the entrance foyer of the new building.
All donors who contribute £500 or more will have their name inscribed onto the display.
So please help us, donate £500...

Pestalozzi International Village Trust
Pestalozzi is a UK-based charity with more than 50 years' experience of offering life-changing opportunities to young people from disadvantaged communities around the world. Their vision is to inspire young people to make a difference in the world and their mission is to produce globally conscious young leaders.
Pestalozzi awards scholarships to exceptional 16-19 year olds who are academically gifted but have limited educational prospects in their home countries. These young people have all demonstrated their enthusiasm for helping to make a difference in their communities.
Pestalozzi students live for two years in our multi-cultural, multi-faith community in East Sussex, UK, where they welcome difference and embrace diversity. They complete their secondary-level education and undertake a broad range of extra-curricular activities, gaining an holistic education focused on the Pestalozzi principles of Head, Heart and Hands.
Pestalozzi scholarships give these young people an opportunity they would not otherwise receive - the chance to develop their potential, pursue their ambitions and go on to make a real and lasting difference in the world.
Name: Pemba Dorji
The last time I participated in my school's Half Marathon, I finished it in about 2 hours and 20 minutes but suffered some severe muscle pains afterwards. It was without any prior practice.This time I trained along with my Pestalozzi friends every Sunday for a good four months before the grand finale came. The event lied right ahead. We cheered up each other as we all joined thousands other on the road. The kick-off signal went and the marathon began.
I maintained a steady speed as I went on. I was really encouraged and up-lifted to see many people cheering and helping the runners all along the route. It was a very supportive environment which I didn't get in my previous marathon.
Almost 11miles done and I discerned the cool breeze of the sea and the sight of the sea-front ahead. I wasn't very tired but I started to have some pain in my muscles as I descended down to the seaside. For a while I feared I might have to give up but my heart was too elated to step down from the final two miles of what is going to become a remarkable achievement in my dairy. I compromised my pace a bit for my muscle but kept on pushing myself forward along the- as many other have told me earlier- "the never-ending seafront." Finally, the sight of the finishing line drew me closer and closer to my goal, and to our goal.
The road ahead bored along its side so many welcoming hands and resounding felicitation. All the tense in my legs subsided and ebullience elevated high above me. A smile forced its way on my face and I gave a full rejuvenated dash in the final few yards. Just then I realized that I have just run pass the sweetest road I have ever came across in my life.
Shortly after, my other friends also crossed the finishing line and the atmosphere was filled with the achievement of our team spirit and support. We made it at last!. Looking at the time, I am very glad to have beaten my previous record by nearly an hour.
Pestalozzi has been involved in the Hastings Half Marathon for many years and here is a story from Pemba Dorji who ran for us last year.

Regardless of which side of the issue you are on, dealing with a legal case is nerve-wracking. By retaining a qualified lawyer, make things simpler. Getting a good lawyer makes a big difference and this article will help you.
A real estate lawyer is a necessity if your legal problem has to do with either buying or selling a home. This will ensure you get the best person to handle your case.
You need to touch base with your lawyer on a specific schedule. Lots of attorneys work for clients without speaking to them for a while. Set up a schedule to confirm that everything is under control.
Personal Injury Attorney Tampa
Follow your attorney's advice, but do not forget that you hire him to work for you. If it makes you feel uncomfortable, you can speak up about a situation. While your lawyer works for your best interest, they may have quite the case load.
Use a legal referral service to find an attorney. They can assist you in locating excellent lawyers. They will vary in quality since some will screen lawyers and just list those with certain qualifications and certain amounts of experience. Other services will list lawyers who meet the standards of the state bar. To select the right referral service, you must understand the service's selection criteria.
Lawyers cannot win every case. Watch out for any attorney who immediately guarantees the desired outcome without hearing all the details of your case. There are no guarantees when it comes to the law, so do not fall for a lawyer that claims he always wins.
It is important for you to have a good relationship with your attorney. Any initial feelings of discomfort will show later on, regardless of your lawyers experience. You must trust your gut feelings when selecting a lawyer who is easy to work with.
Check out these divorce lawyers in Tampa and Family law attorneys in Sarasota.
Any lawyer who guarantees victory after an initial consultation isn't one that you want to hire. By guaranteeing a victory, a responsible attorney should never try to win your business. This is something to keep an eye on when you search for a lawyer.
When meeting with a prospective lawyer, make sure you are prepared. They make money hourly. You will be charged if you call your lawyer or need to meet with them again. You can reduce the cost of meeting with your lawyer if you prepare everything you need to talk about in advance and make sure all your paperwork is ready.
Understand your legal issues before you look for a lawyer. If you aren't aware of your issue, then you are not going to be able to select the best lawyer for your case. Therefore, make sure you research your situation and are aware of it. It will ensure you make the best choice.
You can always get a different second opinion if you feel your lawyer isn't doing the best job. Since switching lawyers can be expensive you may not want to switch. You should get another opinion before doing anything rash.
Simply because someone is the best at what they do does not mean you should hire them. You must also keep in mind that you will have to spend a great deal of time working with them on your case, even though you need to use the skills they have. You will have to establish a good relationship if you are to achieve success.
Lawyers have malpractice insurance to protect themselves in case they vary from the law intentionally or accidentally. Violating laws can result in them losing their ability to practice law. Place your trust in a lawyer and work together to reach the desired outcome.
Interview multiple lawyers, even if your first encounter is a success. Legal proceedings are sometimes lengthy, and you'll need a lawyer you can stand to be around. Choosing the right lawyer in the beginning can make everything go smoothly.
Keep in mind that slick commercials and fancy websites do not guarantee good service. Of course these ads are easy to stand and remember out, a good lawyer does not need to take these types of measures to earn a new client. Therefore, research each attorney based on their track record rather than their television ads.
Keep in mind that lawyers are helpful for all kinds of cases, not just criminal ones. For instance, you can increase your chances of a positive result in court by getting a lawyer for a divorce or bankruptcy case. They can even advise you on issues like tax penalties or property disputes.
Communication is essential when speaking with your lawyer. Your lawyer should actually listen to you. Do they answer your questions? Do they talk at you instead of with you? All of this is crucial. If you aren't comfortable communicating with your lawyer, you need to find another one.
Make sure you have good communication with your lawyer. You're either not explaining your situation well enough, or they have too much on their plate to adequately handle your case, if it takes longer than a few days for your attorney to reach out to you. Simply speaking up might fix the problem and if not then it is time to get another lawyer. If the latter applies, then you should probably find another lawyer that has enough time for you.
At this point, hopefully you've got a good handle on how to deal with the upcoming proceedings. Locating a good lawyer is an important first step and that means you must follow what you have read. Having a great lawyer can make all the difference.

Bayfield High School's loss is Fort Lewis College's gain.
The Skyhawks hired former BHS head volleyball coach Kelley Rifilato on Thursday to take the reins of their volleyball program, according to a news release to The Durango Herald.
"I'm really excited about the opportunity and the challenges that go along with it," Rifilato said in a news release. "I really never thought I was going to get an opportunity to coach in college again because I walked away from it when my kids were little. I knew then that that's what I wanted to do, and I had a passion for it, but I also knew that I needed to be there for my family."
Rifilato took over at Bayfield in 2007. The Wolverines went 135-29 in her tenure, including a remarkable 49-1 in the Intermountain League, and they qualified for the Class 3A state tournament each of the last four seasons. She was named The Denver Post Coach of the Year in 2009, and she's accrued quality results as a club coach, as well.
Rifilato also was an interim head coach at New Mexico Highlands in 1997.
"I want to challenge for the (Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference) title," she said. "I think that's a doable thing in a few years. I don't think that's a long-term, five-years-down-the-road (goal). I think it's doable in one or two years."
Rifilato also has family ties to Fort Lewis. Her husband, Ed Rifilato, is the defensive coordinator for the football team. Strengthening the RMAC ties, daughters Gabriella and Katherine Rifilato play for conference rival Adams State, where Gabriella was the 2012 RMAC Setter of the Year.
FLC athletic director Gary Hunter said he was pleased with the quality of coach the athletic department landed.
"Her record speaks for itself, but she was also highly recommended by those who have worked with her through the years," Hunter said.
Rifilato replaces Shelly Aaland, who was fired April 3. Aaland spent 10 years at the helm of her alma mater's volleyball program and took the Skyhawks to their only NCAA Tournament appearance in 2008.
FLC declined comment on why Aaland and husband Chris Aaland, who also was fired from his position in the athletic department, were terminated.

A & EAfter a whole summer together in complete (well almost) harmony, it was difficult to wave goodbye when Gracia returned to Newcastle. The good thing was that we were traveling up the following weekend with all her 'stuff' and would see her, stay in her new house and spend a little time with her friends.
We had a wonderful weekend, her house is lovely, her friends so polite and friendly and she was due to start her medical degree the next day, so we left with mixed feelings - sad that it would be a while before we saw her but so glad to see her so happy and settled.
As always, we keep up with her antics on Facebook and when Sian suggested a story about dressing up, what could be more opportune then a photo of Gracia and her new friends dressed for a medic party. The theme was A&E and she dressed as an Elf (well if you can call a pretty dress and an elf hat as dressing as an elf), her new friend Frances dressed as an Angel and, as I found out yesterday, her other new friend Josh dressed as an Agent.
This photo means much more than friends having fun together as it shows how happy and content she is with her decision to change courses. Every time she phones she is so enthusiastic about everything she is learning, even talking excitedly about dissecting lungs!
She will be home for a visit very soon, we can't wait to see our little girl who is training to work for the National Elf Service (ha, ha, ha).
This musing was brought to you courtesy of Sian's Story Telling Sunday. Why not pop over to her blog to read some more dressing up stories!
Reasons to be cheerful:
1. Gracia has found something she is passionate about.
2. She has made new friends on her course and has such fantastic friends who share the house with her.
3. She is going back to doing pointe ballet, something she loves and is making time for in her busy schedule.

Pure DWTS 2011 – Hotwire Mark Ballas Music Video Ft. Chelsea Kane (Video)
In the last post on Mark and Chelsea, PureDWTS reader AL mentioned that we hadn't posted on Mark's new video called "Hotwire" starring his dance partner Chelsea Kane. So, here it is. What do you think of "Hotwire" and the video? Does Mark have a winner here and do you like it? I think it's pretty good and probably Mark's best song to date.
If you'd like to download "Hotwire", you can do so at iTunes here:: Hotwire – HurtLoveBox
Special Thanks to Al and John for the heads up and helping with this post!!

What would cause my breath to smell like I've been drinking sometimes and I have not? Nor did I have anything to drink the night before? I've gotten in trouble at work because I suffer from occasional vascular migraines and I look like I'm drinking and now my supervisor says I smelled like I was drinking. I think she's lying -- but could there be a cause? I don't drink because I'm really a chronic dieter and don't want the empty calories.
Any suggestions?

Chrome supports a number of different release channels. We use these channels to slowly roll out updates to users, starting with our close to daily Canary channel builds, all the way up to our Stable channel releases that happen every 6 weeks roughly.
Windows 64-bit
All channels may be run in parallel -- they install into distinct directories and use dedicated User Data directories.
Windows 32-bit
All channels may be run in parallel -- they install into distinct directories and use dedicated User Data directories.
How do I choose which channel to use?The release channels for chrome range from the most stable and tested (Stable channel) to completely untested and likely least stable (Canary channel). On Windows, Android, and Linux, you can run all channels alongside all others, as they do not share profiles with one another. On Mac, you can run the Canary channel builds alongside any other channel, as they do not share profiles with other channels. This allows you to play with our latest code, while still keeping a tested version of Chrome around.
What should I do before I change my channel?
Back up your data!Before you switch, you should make a backup of your profile (bookmarks, most visited pages, history, cookies, etc). If you ever want to switch back to a more stable channel, your updated profile data might not be compatible with the older version.
Make a copy of the User Data\Default directory (for example, copy it to 'Default Backup' in the same location). The location depends on your operating system:
Windows XP:
Note: If you're using Explorer to find the folder, you might need to set Show hidden files and folders in Tools > Folder Options... > View.
Reporting Dev channel and Canary build problemsRemember, Dev channel browsers and Canary builds may still crash frequently. Before reporting bugs, consult the following pages:

Currently working on a simple Qt5 player for tracked music based on libopenmpt...
Right now it only plays the first track in the playlist, but soon enough it will advance the track once the end of one is reached. I also plan on including a shuffle functionality, because that's how I mostly listen to music.
And yes, it will be open source.
The basic stuff of this is now on my GitHub 🎉 https://github.com/nilsding/foxbox
Update on my silly little #libopenmpt-based mod player: it now loads m3u playlists! \o/
Still need to refine it a bit further though, but the basic stuff works.
Another update: the playlist can now be hidden. It does so with a nice animation thanks to the QPropertyAnimation class!
Yet another update on 🦊📦: a volume slider!
Implementing this was way easier than I initially thought, just needed to multiply the samples with a value between 0 and 1...
@nilsding dare you to style this like mac os panther itunes
@dogo what does that look like?
@nilsding this beautiful lil monstrosity
@dogo oh the volume slider under the playback buttons would work nicely!
@nilsding yeh!
@dogo but yeah, i might aim for something similar to that in one future release -- that interface was super simple and easy to use (which I really miss from most players available today)
@nilsding how are you doing content loading? no internal library feature im guessing, just straight up file browsing?
@dogo for now, yep. just drag and drop your mods in there and click play!
I implemented some basic playlist saving/loading though, so there's that.
@nilsding i really prefer library based players but this is cute still!
@dogo I might add that at one point as well, it kinda gets tedious adding files manually every time after some while (hence why I implemented that playlists thing :P).
but yeah, for now my main focus is mostly on these topics: https://github.com/nilsding/foxbox/projects/1
@nilsding omg miniplayers can be so cute!!!!!
@dogo eh, it basically just hides the playlist like this :P
@nilsding zune did this adorable lil miniplayer style that gave you visual stuff and direct access to your entire now playing list (if you click on any of the queue'd titles it switches to a list view of everything)
@dogo oh I see! Think it would be fun to implement something like this. Maybe I can abuse QML for that kind of thing
@dogo don't know what I'll display instead of the album art though... maybe some sort of visualisation or so? (there's so many things you could do with tracker files!)
@nilsding oh wait, tracker files
@nilsding uuuuuhhh
ok if u do make a visualization, perhaps best to keep it pretty passive. no distracting and all
@dogo was thinking of something along the lines of what I did here, but that might be a bit too distracting I guess https://github.com/nilsding/xmpvis
@nilsding ive no idea what velocity would entail in this situation tbh, music be outside of my realm too
@dogo basically just the value of the volume column, not the amplitude which you're actually hearing
@nilsding oh so kinda like, before it passes thru volume control
@dogo that too!
but mostly: individual samples can be either quiet or loud, and this does not take that in consideration

Students, faculty discuss issues
PLAINVIEW - In the first of what will be many faculty/student forums at Wayland Baptist University, four panelists met Thursday night in the Nunn Business Building auditorium to discuss a Christian's social mandate.
Wayland's Student Senate sponsored the forum and hopes to offer many more, dealing with other topics. Assistant Professor of Science Dr. Adam Reinhart and Chairman of the Division of Religion and Philosophy Dr. Fred Meeks joined students Jeremy Harris, a senior religion major, and junior Jennifer Combs, a political science major, to discuss a Christian's role in society. Each panelist was given a chance to express their viewpoint, then the forum was opened to questions from the audience.
The discussion touched on a wide range of topics including a Christian's approach to the environment, racism, abortion, war, welfare and related government programs and even civil disobedience. The discussion brought up questions concerning whether the church is doing too much or too little to help those in need, with each panelist using scripture references to make their point.
While the group agreed that it is the Christian's job to take care of the needy, Reinhart made the point that Christians at times rely too heavily on the church as an organization to do the job for them. He said it is too easy for Christians to sit back and pay someone else to do the work when they should be providing their time and service.
"The church has lost some of its focus and passion in trying to do too many things it was not designed to do," Reinhart said.
He explained that it should be the role of the church to support its members in their endeavors, not necessarily the other way around.
The panelists were also questioned about their beliefs when it comes to dealing with government issues.
Dr. Meeks quoted Romans 13:1: "Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God."
The panelists agreed that it is important to support the government, but it is also important to stand up for personal beliefs. Harris, who also used Romans 13 in his opening statements, said it is important for Christians to work themselves into positions of power if they want to effect change. He used the example of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego in the book of Daniel, three Godly men who positioned themselves around King Nebuchadnezzar as advisors. But when it came time to bow down and worship a statue, they refused, choosing instead to suffer the consequences of their actions.
Harris pointed out, however, that in their refusal, they remained polite and respectful toward those in authority over them.
The panelists agreed that there will always be different ways of looking at things and different interpretations of scripture, but through it all, Christians need to play an active role in society and show a God-fearing, unconditional love for each other and those around them.
The date and topic of the next forum has not been set. Members of the community are welcomed and encouraged to attend these events and add to the discussion.

Americans Are Phoning the Web
Jun 27, 2012 9:31 AM PT
Cellphones have become a primary way for people in the U.S. to access the Web, according to a recent survey released by the Pew Research Center's Internet & American Life Project.
Seventeen percent of of cellphone owners surveyed said they surfed the Web primarily with their phones rather than computers. Using their phones was a matter of convenience for many, but others said that they were the only means they had to access the Web.
Pew based its findings on a national telephone survey of 2,254 adults aged 18 and over conducted March 15 through April 3, 2012.
Eighty-eight percent of adults in the U.S. owned a cellphone as of April 2012, and 55 percent of those cellphone users accessed the Internet with their phones, the survey found. That represents an increase from the 31 percent of cellphone users who reported accessing the Internet with their phones in an April 2009 Pew survey.
"Phones are convenient," said Pew Research Center Senior Research Specialist Aaron Smith, who wrote the survey report.
"They're always there, and they fit with peoples' lifestyles," he told the E-Commerce Times.
Moving Trend
Whether the trend toward phone access of the Internet will continue is an unknown, but Pew's surveys do indicate a steady increase in all kinds of mobility.
"We stay out of the trend prediction business," said Smith, "but the broader trend toward increased mobility is something that has been consistent and is something we continue to see in all of the work that we do."
One of the driving factors behind this trend, according to Smith, is convenience.
"There's something qualitatively different about cellphones in terms of convenience," he said.
What It Means for E-Commerce
The upshot of this survey for e-commerce businesses and anyone who reaches the public via the Web is that they must have mobile-friendly sites.
"There's a large number of potential customers who are not going to be accessing your services or site in a traditional big screen with a full keyboard and mouse," said Smith. "They're going to be accessing it when they're on-the-go, distracted, with a smaller screen and no keyboard -- or a virtual keyboard. That's a very different consumption experience. People are in a very different mindset when they're running around with their phone than they are when they're sitting at a computer."
Consumers want to be able to access information wherever they are and whenever they want, and often that means they're going to reach for their phones.
"People want easy access to information where they are -- they are not sitting at a laptop or a computer when they are out and about, which is most of the time," Jonathan Thaler, founder of When I'm Mobile, told the E-Commerce Times. "We have virtually unlimited Internet browsing as part of our data plans, and the browsers on our devices are very capable."
Many businesses, however, are not prepared for these mobile users. Their sites are still designed and directed toward computer screens and capabilities.
"At present, I'm afraid the typical Web experience on a mobile browser has a negative effect on e-commerce," said Thaler. "Nobody wants to have to enter 10 to 15 form boxes into a non-mobile Web page they can't even see properly. We are on the go, have little time and choppy bandwidth, and need to get in, get what we need and get out. Entering credit card information to a phone website is a juggling act at best. I do think business is being lost when the website is too difficult to use on a mobile device, which is still the case the vast majority of the time."
Becoming more mobile-friendly, in other words, is central to doing business in the 21st century.
Mobile CRM
"Understanding the importance of initiating the customer relationship with the mobile device, to continue and expand on that relationship when the customer is not at the computer, will position businesses at the forefront of mobile commerce," said Thaler. "Reliable and easy-to-use mobile payment systems, integrated seamlessly into the mobile browsing experience, are also necessary for m-commerce to proliferate."
In fact, the mobile version of a site might be even more important than the desktop one.
"Businesses who realize that the efforts put into an excellent mobile Web experience are as important as the main website -- more important, actually, since people have their phones with them far more of the time than they have computer access -- will be most ready for whatever the future holds for mobile," said Thaler.
"I don't think phone browsing will completely replace computer browsing," he said, "but an integrated Web strategy which enables website owners to be ready for the visits to their site regardless of how they get there, will provide both the audience and the business with the best opportunities to engage and transact."

Text of bulletin from Canadian Film and Television Production Association
to its members, as reported in Playback:
Conservative Government Quietly Cuts Programs in Support of the Film and Video Sector
Dear Members,
As you may have read in the press this past weekend, the Conservative Government has quietly announced the elimination of several programs in support of the Canadian film and video sector.
The A-V Preservation Trust ($300,000), the Canadian Independent Film and Video Fund ($1.5 million), the National Training Schools Program ($2.5 million), Trade Routes ($9 million) and PromArt ($4.7 million) will be eliminated as of March 31, 2009.
The Conservative Government chose to announce these cuts via phone calls by departmental officials to key stakeholder groups (including the CFTPA) late this past Friday. Officials have confirmed that a press release will not be issued by either the ministers of Canadian Heritage or Foreign Affairs. We would offer that this communications strategy was specifically intended to minimize negative reaction from industry stakeholders.
The CFTPA is deeply concerned about the Conservative Government's commitment to Canadian culture and to the independent production sector more specifically. We fear this latest round of cuts may be the thin edge of the wedge for more significant cuts to our sector later this year. As CFTPA members may know, the government's contribution to both the Canadian Television Fund (CTF) and the Canada New Media Fund (CNMF) also technically wind-down at the end of March 2009. There has been no indication by the Conservative Government on what it intends to do with regard to these programs that are so crucial to the viability of the independent television and interactive media production sectors in Canada.
What the CFTPA Intends To Do
In response to the announced cuts, the CFTPA jointly with the APFTQ will be writing both the ministers of Canadian Heritage and Foreign Affairs to request a meeting as soon as possible to press them to reconsider their decision and to seek clarification on the Conservative's intentions with regard to the CTF and the CNMF. We will also be issuing a joint press release with the APFTQ and working with our colleagues in other industry sectors in this regard. Lastly, we will be raising the matter will all political parties with a view to putting federal support to our sector front and centre on the agenda for when the House of Commons resumes in September.
What CFTPA Members Can Do
Members can also help by raising these issues with their local Members of Parliament. We suggest that you stress the importance of the independent production sector to Canada's cultural identity. Perhaps more meaningful to this Government, you may want to emphasize the sector's contribution to Canada's economy. Annually, the film and television sector generates $5 billion in production activity, including $1.7 billion of exports, and sustains some 127,000 direct and indirect jobs. Lastly, it is important to underscore the benefit provided by both Trade Routes and PromArt in helping to export Canadian content abroad and to attracting much needed foreign investment to our sector.

First diagnosed in 1981, a year during which many current medical students were born, the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) has accompanied us down a long and frustrating road. All of our hurdles taken into account, the daunting scientific battle that we face in coping with this disease continues to be eclipsed by the social and political tug-of-war that is being fought globally to ensure equitable and appropriate care for those living with the virus. While the images may differ, this lamentable state of affairs continues to plague resource-rich and -poor countries alike.
In the United States, 2004-2005 marks a critical period in this history due to the third round of negotiations for reauthorization of the government's landmark legislation dealing specifically with HIV/AIDS care and treatment. Enacted in 1990, the Ryan White Comprehensive AIDS Resources Emergency (CARE) Act, which provides the lion's share of financial support that states, cities, and institutions need to combat HIV/AIDS in the United States, comes up for reauthorization by the US Congress later this year.
With the lives and welfare of millions of Americans at issue -- to say nothing of the ripple effect that US action on HIV has traditionally had internationally -- the clinical care community's efforts to ensure appropriate reauthorization of (and funding for) the Ryan White CARE Act will take on unparalleled significance this year. The act, which must be reauthorized no later than every five years, requires collective maintenance and refurbishing in this instance as never before.
More than 20 years into our struggle, and with no cure or viable vaccine for HIV on the immediate horizon, it is incredibly important that care providers walk hand in hand with the patient community to ensure that the challenges inherent in both living with and treating this infection and its myriad complications are duly reflected in the act that is reauthorized. With that in mind, the International Association of Physicians in AIDS Care (IAPAC) recently joined forces with domestic US organizations to launch a multi-pronged Ryan White CARE Act reauthorization campaign.
Beginning with an inaugural community summit held last month during the 11th Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections (CROI), IAPAC, the HIV Medicine Association (HIVMA), American Academy of HIV Medicine (AAHIVM), AIDS Institute, Association of Nurses in AIDS Care (ANAC), National Association of People with AIDS (NAPWA), and Physician Assistant AIDS Network (PAAN) initiated what will be a one-year-plus campaign to present the voices of care providers and patients to US policy makers and their constituents.
IAPAC and our partner institutions have taken an unprecedented step to put forward a harmonized message around current needs and priorities in the fight against HIV/AIDS in the United States. More will be forthcoming in this regard on a regular basis over the course of 2004, and into early 2005.
IAPAC is intent on playing a strong facilitating role in channeling the voices of our association's 6,900-plus US physician members, whom I encourage to pay close attention to both the IAPAC Web site at www.iapac.org and the IAPAC Monthly for important updates and news about opportunities to become involved at the federal, state, and local levels in activities that will be planned for the upcoming year.
These opportunities, and efforts for which we sincerely request active participation, will range from briefings before the US Congress, to planned, clinical day-visits for political representatives, to expert testimony regarding HIV care. All of these activities that IAPAC will unfold, both independently and in harmony with partner organizations, intend to present to legislators the impressions and requests of those who are tasked with the responsibility of ensuring wellness for patients with HIV/AIDS: You, the care and support providers.
While it is always on my mind as the chief executive officer of an association representing the interests and concerns of care providers globally who are at the side of those living with HIV/AIDS, this is a particularly poignant time for me to reiterate IAPAC's sincerest appreciation for the leadership of our members across the globe, and for your continued demand that IAPAC be a vehicle to bring your clinical and social expertise to the table. We have no greater satisfaction than to assist in making sure that our members are well equipped to deliver the best available care and treatment for their patients and are supported in achieving continued safety and comfort both within the clinical setting and in professional life.
From the outset of the Ryan White CARE Act reauthorization campaign, I want to thank you in advance for the leadership that I know many of you may be counted on to provide. And, I reiterate to you our standing request that you continue to submit to us your concerns, your requests, and your statements of need.
José M. Zuniga is President/CEO of the International Association of Physicians in AIDS Care (IAPAC), and Editor-in-Chief of the IAPAC Monthly_._

Photo from The Right Tidys' Facebook page.
Wednesday night's International Pop Overthrow - Chicago showcase kicks off with Susan Hedges, a Liverpool-based singer-songwriter who's currently touring the states in support of her latest CD, Faces Without Names. Her lush ballad "Nobody's Fool" showcases her evocative vocals and ornate piano playing.
Vocalists Erica Loftus and Michelle Tormey of The Right Tidys create playful harmonies on catchy rock tunes, backed by a band that includes bassist-back-up vocalist Lou Galassini of Van Go. (Van Go has the honor of being this year's final act.) "Rippin' Me Off" has a garage rock feel similar to what the French four-woman band The Plastiscines are up to these days, while on "Set The Hook" the band takes a sensual new wave approach.
With melodic gems like "Turn Off The Night" and "Take It Out On Me," it's no wonder singer-guitarist Lannie Flowers has generated a buzz across the power pop blogosphere. The native Texan will likely be playing tunes off his critically-acclaimed latest CD, Circles.
The name Superbig could be referring to commercial aspirations, but it also applies to the band's approach to power pop. The melodic but expansive "Way We Were" and "Run Me Over" sound radio-ready, and Superbig adds strings to the emotional "Giving Up On You."
The Love Shots rough up 1960s style arrangements with raw vocals and guitars in a manner reminiscent of The Clash. The trio actually crafts some sweet harmonies, which add to the allure of catchy songs like the brash "Shutterbug" and the mid-tempo "Banshee." They've just released a six-song EP.
Led by Chicago music scene veteran Tim Ferguson, neo-psychedelic rockers Red Plastic Buddha will close out Wednesday night's showcase with a series of long form musical trips from their Sunflower Sessions CD. The video for "Forget Me Not" which can be seen on the band's MySpace page, perfectly captures the Red Plastic Buddha vibe.

The rules state:
When a player passes, they must discard cards down to their Card Limit if necessary.
Only when a player passes will they have to discard down to their Card Limit, which is determined by their Politics score.
Take the following scenario: Black is at their card limit. During an Action Phase, Black passes. Later that same Action Phase another player completes a Shipping Track which awards a Governor card to Black. Black now has too many cards.
When does Black discard? Immediately, at end of turn, or not until they pass in the next Action Phase?
The above rule quotes pretty clearly indicate that Black would not need to discard until they pass in the next Action Phase. But, what if there isn't another Action Phase? For example, what if the phase in question is the last Action Phase of the game? Does this mean a player could score more cards than their card limit allows?
However, the following quote seems to imply that the card limit is lifted only during the Action Phase (because it's not mentioned anywhere else):
When drawing cards during the Action Phase there is no restriction on how many cards a player may hold...
This could indicate that the card limit is enforced continuously after a player passes (because they are no longer able to draw cards), but it's not worded very well because what about the rest of the Action Phase when not drawing cards?

On the day the US Congress passed legislation providing health coverage to 32 million Americans without insurance, Political Scrapbook can reveal the Conservatives' Cash Gordon campaign was developed by an anti-healthcare lobbyist described as "Karl Rove 2.0".
Writing on the Blue Blog yesterday, the affable Sam Coates claimed that Conservatives' campaign site against Labour/Unite links was "built in just a few days". What he doesn't tell you is that the system has been purchased off-the-shelf from Republican strategists David All Group and was originally developed to galvanise opposition to Barack Obama's healthcare reforms.
Cash Gordon is based on Operation Waiting Game, which leverages social media against reforms which, it is claimed, "will have the same devastating effects in the United States as it has in Canada and in nations across Europe: longer wait times and lower quality care".
In an embarrassment for CCHQ, the party's flagship campaign is currently hosted alongside those attempting to "rescue America from government-run health care", including NotSoSure.org and Hands Off. Another site rails against homosexuals in the armed forces, stating the military "should not be used as a tool to advance the goals of gay activist groups".
One wonders what the "few days" spent creating Cash Gordon were used for. As the graphic below shows (click to enlarge), the much vaunted site is almost identical to NoEnergyTax.com. The initiative from the right-wing Heritage Foundation aims to scupper carbon trading legislation designed to combat climate change. Funders of the foundation include a host of corporate special interests such as oil giants Chevron Texaco and Exxon Mobil.
Contrived to herd visitors through a linear series of actions, Cash Gordon rewards users with a system redolent of primary school merit points. Once you've read Michael Gove's bonkers "new militant tendency" speech (described by the FT as "lazy politics") you receive a gold sticker – oh sorry – 25 points. Helping to bombard Charlie Whelan with hectoring tweets (straight out of the #kerryout playbook) gets you 20 points.
But perhaps the biggest indictment of the campaign is the level of engagement achieved in relation to its cost. With a $15,000 pricetag, the act.ivi.st web platform makes Cash Gordon the most expensive few web pages in UK politics – and it gets worse. At the time of writing, links to
cash-gordon.com have been tweeted 241 times. That's a shocking £41 per tweet. Even widening the net to every single mention of #cashgordon by the general public brings this down to a bargain basement price of, erm, £15.50.
Attacking Labour's union links: £15 per tweet.
Recycling an anti-healthcare web platform: priceless!
Many thanks: to Steve Hanlon for his invaluable help.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt flew home from London with their son Maddox yesterday after attending the BAFTAs. With less than two weeks to go before the Oscars, and Angelina having wrapped on principle photography on Unbroken, LA will be home for now – and for the final push before ballots are due. As you can see, Brad seems to have exactly one travel outfit. At this point, their children are better dressed than they are. Where do you think they get that from?
Maddox is now twelve. Twelve and a half, actually. My nephews and niece were all on the internet by that age – Facebook, iChat, YouTube, all of it. We saw them this weekend and they were never without their iPhones. Playing that f-cking Flappy Bird. Which, f-ck me, I tried for the first time and learned the meaning of TRUE RAGE. Ten was my highest score. After 3 hours ok? 3 HOURS! Jacek, a video game junkie, only made it to 14.
Anyway, you think Maddox has an iPhone? Does he play Flappy Bird? Does he google himself? (HI MADDOX!) If he does google himself, does he google his parents? Does he read Suri's Burn Book? Is he happy that he's allowed to go to McDonald's unlike Apple and Moses Martin?
Brad's boots are by Palladium.

Buffalo Bisons (33-45, T4th(-12.0), North)
LHP Mark Cohoon (1-4, 8.39)
Norfolk Tides (29-47, 4th(-13.0), South)
RHP Rick VandenHurk (5-7, 4.65)
TODAY'S GAME: Tonight, the Bisons take on the Norfolk Tides in the finale of a four-game series at Coca-Cola Field (7:05 p.m.). The Bisons have won the first three games of the series by scores of 4-2, 6-5 and 5-3. They look to capture their first four-game series sweep since late last season when they defeated the Columbus Clippers at home, August 5-10. Tomorrow night, the Herd will welcome in the Lehigh Valley IronPigs.
VS. THE TIDES: Buffalo is now 5-2 against the Tides this season, having won the past four contests. The Bisons split a four-game series against the Tides last week in Norfolk. Buffalo is 15-7 in their last 22 games against the Tides and has owned the series since 1998. The Bisons are 29 games over .500 and own a .636 winning percentage over Norfolk in the last 13-plus seasons.
ON THE BUMP: LHP MARK COHOON makes his sixth start of the season for the Herd tonight. In his last start against Durham, Mark worked 4.2 innings and allowed three earned runs and a season-high 10 hits. The left-hander will be looking to earn his first victory at Coca-Cola Field. Cohoon's last win came on the road May 30 against the Charlotte Knights (5.0IP, 5R, K).
PASCUCCI'S POWER: INF VALENTINO PASCUCCI hit a two-run homer in yesterday's matinee, bringing his total to 10 on the season to go along with 49RBI. Pascucci is tied for sixth in the International League in RBI and is only six behind the league leader (CHA Dayan Viciedo, 55). Since May 10, the slugger is first in the IL with 44RBI. Pascucci is tied with OF LUCAS DUDA for the team lead with 10 home runs on the season.
EVANS ALMIGHTY: With another hit tonight, INF NICK EVANS can become only the 13th Bisons' player in the modern era to record a 17 game hit streak. Two other Bisons players have notched 16-game stretches this season, but failed to reach 17 (OF KIRK NIEUWENHUIS, INF MICHAEL FISHER). Evans's 16-game stretch has been loud with 12 multi-hit games and a .492 (30-61) batting average. In the streak, Evans has 10 doubles, two homers, 13RBI and 13 runs scored. On the season, the slugger has 22 multi-hit performances, eight more than any other Bisons player.
METS UPDATE: The Mets (39-39) defeated Texas yesterday afternoon, 8-5. Former Bisons RHP DILLON GEE earned his team-high eighth victory of the season, allowing three runs over six innings. INF JOSE REYES had four hits and scored three times. The Mets have an off day today, before they travel to Comerica Park to take on the Detroit Tigers starting on Tuesday night at 7:05 p.m.

Oracle has announced immediate availability of Oracle Solaris 11 Express. In the wake of the company's abandonment of the open source version of the operating system, Oracle is hoping to still show continued commitment to the proprietary version of the technology it acquired as part of the Sun acquisition.
Oracle says that Solaris 11 Express delivers advanced features that have been in development for over five years harking back to Sun's original plans for the system. New availability features allegedly reduce planned downtime by up to 50%. If successfully implemented, the company claims that this advancement virtually eliminates traditional patching and maintenance related reboots and improves system boot time to tens of seconds.
"Oracle Solaris 11 Express adds network virtualization and resource management to the complete, built-in virtualization capabilities of Oracle Solaris, providing the highest performance virtualization environment with the lowest overhead," according to the company.
Oracle is hoping to capitalize upon the popularity of Oracle Solaris as an enterprise operating system on both SPARC and x86 systems — and is therefore using this launch to remind the industry that this product benefits from access to 11,000 third-party products and customer developed applications on SPARC and x86 systems from Oracle itself and other hardware providers.
"We are excited to announce the release of Oracle Solaris 11 Express to enable our customers to deploy the new advanced features of Solaris 11 across a broad set of platforms, as well as Oracle Exadata and Oracle Exalogic," said John Fowler, executive vice president of systems at Oracle.
"We are expecting Oracle Solaris 11 to further reduce any downtime by being quicker and easier to deploy, maintain and update; and deliver a highly efficient, virtualized operating system to meet the scale and performance requirements of immediate and future virtualization and cloud-based deployments," Fowler added.

The NFL has come down hard on the Saints for their role in running a bounty program, and it's not cheap: the team must pay a fine of $500,000. But they'll recoup that easily, because head coach Sean Payton's one-year suspension is without pay. According to Jay Glazer, Payton's salary is about $8 million annually.
Then, consider that the Saints will also forfeit their second-round draft picks in 2012 and 2013. Last year, the average signing bonus for a second rounder was $1.65 million. That's $3.3 million or so they won't have to pay.
The Saints also won't be on the hook for eight weeks of GM Mickey Loomis's paychecks, and six weeks of Joe Vitt's.
Sure, you could argue that the Saints would rather have their coaches and front office and draft picks back. But they should really take any silver lining they can find.

Brits abroad - Graham Rix
Graham Rix enjoyed an impressive career playing for Arsenal and England but the midfielder insists the best years of his footballing life were spent in France playing for small Ligue 1 side Caen.
By Adam Bate - Follow @GhostGoal
Last Updated: 12/09/13 1:23pm
Graham Rix was an Arsenal hero after making 464 appearances for the Gunners and was the man who provided the cross for Alan Sunderland's late winner in the 1979 FA Cup final against Manchester United. But with his time at Highbury coming to an end, Rix made a surprise move to France to play for newly-promoted Caen. He has since described his three-year stay at the club as the best time of his career. Adam Bate caught up with him to find out more...
How did the move from Arsenal to Caen come about?
I had always had a hankering for playing abroad to expand my knowledge and to experience something new. I was 30-years-old when my contract ran out at Arsenal under George Graham and it wasn't going to be renewed. There were two English clubs who were interested at the time - Sheffield Wednesday and Queens Park Rangers - and I spoke to both of them.
I didn't really know what to do and I went on holiday to Portugal. About three days into my holiday an agent phoned me out of the blue telling me there was a club in France interested in signing me. Caen, he said. I'd never heard them. It was a small club, the first time in their history that they'd got into the top division. I met their people in London and really liked them so I said yes straight away.
That must have been a big decision with decent offers from English clubs on the table?
I'm a Doncaster boy originally so Sheffield Wednesday was a bit of a pull for me, the idea of going home. Rangers under Jim Smith were still in the top division and where I lived in north London I wouldn't have had to move house or anything so both the moves had plusses.
But it was just that sense of adventure. I was 30 with three kids at the time so it was a hell of a step. But I was there for three years with another year after at Le Havre and those three years at Caen were the best of my footballing life.
What were your first impressions?
I went over there with Brian Stein, who came over at the same time as me. It was a small club who had gone up through the play-offs a little unexpectedly. There was a cycling track round the pitch and all that. It was a big thing for the people of Normandy that they had Caen in the top league.
Was it a culture shock, especially not being able to speak the language?
Well, I now speak fluent French so I've got something out of my four years there. But it was a complete culture shock at first having come from Arsenal, who are still a top club in the world for me - fantastically run with great organisation and everything laid on a plate for you. To all of a sudden go to a club where they gave you a bag of kit and that was your kit that you had to go home and wash. It was just a culture shock to me.
The ground held about 15,000 and to be fair there was 15,000 in there every single week. It was a little bit like Wimbledon when they first came up - the Crazy Gang and all that. Plough Lane wasn't the greatest facility in the world and it was similar with us. Big clubs like Bordeaux, Paris St Germain, Marseille and Monaco were coming to these little cramped facilities and we made a tough place to go to.
You mention those clubs and there were some big names in France at the time. The likes of Jean-Pierre Papin, George Weah, Enzo Scifo, Marcel Desailly and Eric Cantona... How was life on the field?
And Glenn Hoddle and Mark Hateley at Monaco with Chris Waddle at Marseille. It was a time when they were attracting some top players to France. On the field it was again a bit of a culture shock but it opened my eyes so much. I'd been indoctrinated by Arsenal from the age of 12 to 30 so 18 years of my life I'd gone in there and played the way Arsenal played.
All of a sudden I went over there and they said to me, 'Rix, No.10' and all of the squad just looked at me. It meant nothing to me but to the French boys the No.10 is like the Holy Grail. The meneur de jeu as they say - the leader of the game. I just thought I was a midfield player.
In the very first game I remember the opposition midfield player had the ball and I chased after him and slide tackled him. All of the other players went mad. They said, 'No, you don't do that, that's my job. And then I give it to you.' That was music to my ears!
So it was a different style of play?
Completely. I'd come from a culture where you had to do everything. Midfield players had to tackle, you had to head, you had to beat men and be box-to-box. Whereas in France they played this system where everybody had a specific role within that team and he was happy to do that role.
So the No.6 in midfield was like how Claude Makelele was for Chelsea. He'd sit there and break things up. And if I was three yards away then he'd give me the ball. Then he'd say, 'Well, I've done my job now you do your job.' It just completely opened my eyes to a different way of playing.
And you had quite a dramatic survival in that first season?
Yeah, that first year. Actually they've just bought a book out called Baptism of Fire about that first season in Ligue 1. After six games, for the first time ever in French football, we had no points. Not one single point after six games. Then there was just this dramatic turnaround. We started playing this pressing game at home and the crowd were just on top of people. It was a tough place to play. We played a little bit of a British style pressing high up the pitch and we survived. We won the last three games to stay up.
One of which, the second-to-last game, was against Bordeaux. They had already qualified for the UEFA Cup. Cantona was playing, Jesper Olsen was playing and Clive Allen. They had a really good team and at half-time we were 2-0 down. We brought on this lad called Fabrice Divert who went on to play for France and he scored a hat-trick in the second-half. We won 3-2. It was unbelievable.
Just to let you know what this meant to the people of Caen. We flew back from Bordeaux and when we got back to Caen airport it was gone midnight. There were 500 people there waiting for us with the mayor of Caen leading the shouting. They were all there waiting to meet us.
Even more than that, I lived in a little village about 15 minutes outside of Caen and the fans who had gone to Bordeaux on the bus - it was about a 10-hour drive - arrived in my front garden on Sunday morning at 7am. All the buses just turned up and were chanting my name. Honestly, it was the best time of my life. It really was.
And a great time for Caen too...
It was. I mean, they've moved on now, they've got a beautiful 25,000 all-seater stadium and it's a lovely place with wonderful people. But from that team you'd got Franck Dumas who played for Newcastle briefly as well as Monaco and France. He was in that team and went on to manage Caen. Rudi Garcia was there and is now managing Roma. Philippe Montanier went on to manage Real Sociedad and is now at Rennes.
So we had a group of players who as much as I was learning from them about their style of play, they were learning from me about the mentality that British players had at the time. They couldn't believe this never-say-die attitude and all that business. So it's quite interesting that quite a few of them have gone on to quite big jobs in football.
You mentioned you had your best time of your career out there. Did it suit your game? Make you a better player?
Definitely. I wish I had gone out years earlier. I really do. A lot was expected back then of a midfield player and without blowing my own trumpet I considered myself a technical player more than a Vinnie Jones if you like. Over there, they appreciated that. So they put somebody behind me to do the Vinnie Jones job and then just gave me the ball. Certainly the first two years at Caen, I played my best stuff because they gave me the ball. It prolonged my career, there's no doubt about that.
So no need to ask if you have any regrets about making the move...
My only regret really is that I didn't go out there when I was a bit younger because I was reaching the end of my career when I went. I think it would have done me good to get out there a bit earlier, certainly at that time. Like you mentioned, there were some good players such as Scifo and Papin. French football was on the up.
And it's a wonderful way of life. It expands your mind, not only football-wise but also in terms of French culture. They were so polite out there. It was always, 'Mr Rix, can you sign this' not just shoved in your face. It was a total culture shock to me and a shock that I really enjoyed.
Did your experiences out in France help you become a better coach later in your career too?
I think it did. They were good, technical players but the big thing that hit me was that they realised their deficiencies. So the No.6 in midfield was content to make a tackle and then give the ball to a better technical player nearby. He wouldn't try to do anything fancy with it. Each had their specific role in the team.
And the way they played with their little triangles, nobody played 4-4-2 out there. They played with two markers, a sweeper and three in midfield with a No.10. There was a fluency about the game. I think where I've been as a coach, particularly as a coach of young players, I've tried to encourage players not to play in straight lines. Not just 4-4-2 down the channels and squeeze up. I want them to have a more expansive understanding of it.
Do you ever go back over there?
I actually went back to Caen a few years ago with my missus. It was the 20th anniversary of that season and we went over for the weekend. They treated me like a king and it had been years since I was there. It was a great time in my life.

Born within 40 years of Martin Luther's death, Heinrich Schütz (1585-1672) conferred musical greatness on Protestant church music in the German language. He left behind around 500 works – almost exclusively settings of texts from the Luther Bible.
Schütz was born in Köstritz and is remembered there with events and exhibitions at the Heinrich Schütz House – his birthplace, a former inn.
Schütz was a choirboy aged 13 when he was discovered by the Landgrave of Hesse-Kassel, who paid for his tuition including under Gabrieli in Venice. It was later with reluctance that he allowed his protégé to move to Dresden.
In Dresden, Schütz held the post of court kapellmeister to the Elector of Saxony for 55 years. They were difficult times because the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648) was raging in Germany. Schütz's legacy is commemorated in Dresden's Church of Our Lady, by a stele near the Zwinger Palace and at the Heinrich Schütz House on Frauengasse.
In 1651 Schütz purchased a house to which to retire in Weissenfels, where he had spent his youth. It was there that he wrote his Swan Song, an eleven motet setting of Psalm 119 for two choirs. The Heinrich Schütz House in Weissenfels is largely preserved in its original state.

Thanks for the info. I was talking to the owner of one of the few still breedable Bubba bitchs, with Cougar on the other side, about him. I was hoping she might be interested in Snapper or possibly Max then I would consider a pup. Oh well, not really ready for a pup but thought I'd throw my 2 cents in there. Thanks again Mike.
I did not breed Snapper but I own a littermate of his. My brother was their breeder though. Snapper is EIC clear. Very nice dog.

First, the American people – or, at the very least Florida SOS Katherine Harris and 5 of 9 Supremely Kangaroo Kort "justices" ruling in a case over which they had zero jurisdiction (2000) and Ken Blackwell (2004) – picked a friggin' Chimpanzee as POTUS. Twice.
Now, it turns out that one of the leading contenders for the NSGOP nomination may very well in fact be a reanimated corpse who feeds by draining and consuming the blood of living beings. Holy shit – what are the odds on that?
Ghouliani or Nosferatu? We report, you decide…
Prose Before Hos
This is really scary…we must take all due diligence to keep this unclean, living undead, blood-sucking creature out of the white house, or else face even more international shame – and who would have thought it possible, after Clinton and Bush? – for our presidential selection.

And yes, you are right about me and plans But I have a few ideas in my mind to start with , and I guess some of them might even get your approval

RME driver progress
After far too many delays (both technical and logistical,for which I apologise), practical progress has finally been made on the FFADO RME driver.
In short, the driver is now ready for wider testing, although there are some important limitations and cautions to keep in mind before proceeding.
- If a non-zero verbose level is selected using the "-v" option, a 0 dBFS 1 kHz sine wave will be output on the left phones channel. This is to facilitate debugging of audio timing. If you have headphones or monitors connected to the phones output, please do not activate verbose debug mode without taking appropriate precautions.
- The level produced from the phones (aka monitor) output is very high from this device and the front panel "ph" level control does not affect the level being sent by the computer. Use headphones with extreme caution to prevent inadvertent hearing damage, especially during initial testing and/or if no software volume control is in operation.
- You will need the latest subversion snapshot of FFADO.
- Ffado-mixer support is still rather limited and contains only a small number of controls (now the streaming system seems to be working I expect to expand this soon). In particular there is no user access to the onboard mixer controls: however, ffado sets these to a 1-1 mapping which should do for testing.
- Meaningful testing is probably limited to the Fireface400 for the moment since that is the interface I have been testing with. I will test with with a FF800 in due course - most likely after I've got a more complete ffado-mixer working for the ff400. In the meantime, it is almost certain that the driver will not run with a FF800 yet.
- I've been testing exclusively with jack1 and the old kernel firewire stack. In theory jack2 should work just as well, but I have seen reports over the last couple of weeks which suggests that there may be a problem with ffado in the latest jack2. YMMV. Similarly the new kernel stack should work but I have not personally tried this yet.
To provide feedback on your experiences please subscribe to ffado-devel and post your findings there initially. If extended discussion is required we can take things off-list if appropriate.
My testing to date has been mostly with 48k and 44.1k rates. I have fired 96k and 192k up and had them work for short periods of time so hopefully that's a good sign. Finally, for initial tests it is probably wise to stick with fairly large latencies: I've been using "-p 1024" and "-n 4" options when starting ffado via jackd.

Hi! Old man noob here
Hi and thank you for letting me join this forum!
I hope you can tolerate a noob - I'll be honest - I'm completely new to unix varients but who said you can't teach an old dog new tricks?!
My questions are probably very silly but I've come stuck with my learning of this awesome operating system
I've been reading so many FAQs and so many man pages and tutorials now I decided to join here and see if anyone can give me a shove start
I just need to know the commands to access and view the CD-ROM drive.
I know about LS and mount but nothing I've tried has worked. I tried
mount cd0
mount /dev/cd0/
Ive tried all sorts but I can't seem to mount and access the DVD-rom drive!
I know the LS commands and have tried searching everywhere but can't find it I bought the OpenBSD 3CD set. So what I wanted to do was have a look what packages are on it because I still havn't got the internet working.
I know about LYNX but when I install openbsd I tried using DCHP to configure internet access but it hasn't worked
My next try will be to use ifconfig and to do it manually but Ive never done it before so I may be back here asking questions.
I hope you don't mind a noob being here as I'm very happy to join a forum and learning this new operating system!
Hello, and welcome!
Your post appears to have been started in the wrong subforum, as you mentioned OpenBSD and this is a FreeBSD subforum. I'm sure one of the admins will move it shortly.
# mount /dev/cd0c /mnt
Please note that the "#" above is a convention directing the admin to issue the command as the superuser, or "root". It is best practice to avoid logging on as root, using either sudo(8) or su(1) to issue superuser commands or obtain a root shell.
# dhclient <NIC>
But recognizing your device among the devices listed in the output of an ifconfig command can be daunting for the new user. Note that wireless networks require a little more work. Let us know more details about your issue, and we may be able to provide more assistance.
This might sound odd and nitpicky, but I promise that it's not: try to avoid capitalizing commands like LS and LYNX. They're somewhat jarring to read. Part of entering any new group is learning its culture. Commands are lowercased, and you will see others reference commands and other parts of the OS like this:
This tells you that if you need to learn more, you can issue:
$ man 1 ls
to read the man page for that item. The forum is nice enough to have BB code linking to the online man pages. The standard item(man section) format also helps make certain things unambiguous. For example, if you had a question about sysctl, the reader might be confused as to whether you're talking about sysctl(3) or sysctl(8). It also helps others get up to speed with what you're talking about (hey - we can't always know everything all the time ).
# dhclient <NIC>
but once you know that it works, you should then issue the following:
# echo "dhcp" >> /etc/hostname.<NIC>
as you will then get an IP address at boot time for future reboots automatically.
jggimi is also right in saying wifi is more difficult.
If you could supply a dmesg(8) log here, that would be ideal. Or if you could guess at your NIC (the dmesg(8) output usually gives some clues, like a MAC address) that will help too.
