Lions 2013: Warren Gatland defends Brian O'Driscoll decision
Last updated on .From the section Rugby Union
British and Irish Lions head coach Warren Gatland says he used his "head not his heart" in deciding to drop veteran Irish centre Brian O'Driscoll.
O'Driscoll's omission for Saturday's series decider against Australia in Sydney has drawn strong criticism.
"When I go back to the UK and say 'Did I make the decision because I believed it was right, or did I make it because it was the right political decision?', I can put my hand on my heart and say I think it is the right rugby decision," Gatland said.
O'Driscoll, 34, was expected to take over the captaincy in the absence of the injured Sam Warburton, but failed to even make the match-day 23.
Fit-again Welsh centre Jamie Roberts joins compatriot Jonathan Davies in midfield, with Manu Tuilagi providing back-up on the bench.
"It is only hard because you are making the decision by using your head and not your heart," added Gatland.
"Then you realise what comes of making a decision like that is all the periphery stuff, not the rugby decision, because it becomes a major story for 48 hours and a big debate.
"That is the process I have gone through.
"But I would hate to think we made calls based on trying to avoid any criticism or [gain] public popularity."
While O'Driscoll has almost certainly played his last game in a Lions shirt at the end of his fourth and final tour, Gatland was reluctant to indulge in tributes to a player who has opted to continue his career with Leinster and Ireland for another year.
"He is not finished yet," the New Zealander said. "He has been a big part of this tour.
"He played in the first two Tests, and he is obviously very disappointed as any player would be.
"Like everything, it is a learning process. It is quite hard when you have been number one in your position for 15 years and have been first choice in every team you have been part of.
"There are a lot of people who have experienced the disappointment of Brian always being selected ahead of them. It is just part of sport, isn't it?
"We have made a really tough decision, and that is part of it too.
"Brian has been around a long time. He understands how things work. He is a professional and he appreciated we had the conversation. We don't always speak to everyone [before announcing the team] but he was one that definitely needed the respect of being spoken to."
Australia coach Robbie Deans said Gatland's decision was potentially good news for the Wallabies.
"He's a legend of the game," Deans said of O'Driscoll. "From our perspective it's a little bit of experience gone. We were anticipating he would play.
"It's not a surprise [Gatland has] gone to the Welsh players. He knows them well."
The furore over O'Driscoll's omission overshadowed a team selection that with the introduction of Roberts, Mike Phillips, Richard Hibbard, Alex Corbisiero, Sean O'Brien and Toby Faletau, sends out a clear signal that the Lions intend to subject Australia to a ferocious physical assault.
While the Wallabies neutered the Lions' expected set-piece strength in Melbourne and restricted their attacking game, Gatland does not believe they will be able to summon the same emotional intensity to the task in Sydney.
By way of example, the Lions coach recalled the time his Wasps side played Leicester in the last game of the regular Premiership season in 2005 at Welford Road, when Tigers legends Martin Johnson and Neil Back were playing their last game for the club.
Leicester won comfortably that day, but a fortnight later "they couldn't bring the same emotion and we put 40 points on them in the Premiership final," Gatland noted.
"It is hard to get yourself completely on edge every week.
"Australia had to be like that last week. You saw that with the reaction of [captain] James Horwill at the end.
"We think emotionally we can improve quite a bit. I would question whether they could do the same.
"Emotionally we will be there on Saturday, which is why we have picked a side that physically we think will dominate them."

Tom Hocker, a photojournalist and industrial photographer who also sells Salvadoran folk art at thetreeoflife.com, returned to El Salvador to document life 30 years after Archbishop Oscar Romero was assassinated. This slideshow consists of photos he took in the middle of El Salvador's civil war in 1985 and photos from a November 2009 trip to the same area, La Palma.
A graduation was taking place while he was there in 2009, symbolizing the hope of El Salvador. Still, poverty still cripples the country. Hocker reflects on the differences he sees then and now in the March 2010 issue of U.S. Catholic. (Call customer service to order a copy: 800-328-6515).

Most epilepsy surgeries are performed on an inpatient basis, with the exception of vagus nerve stimulator therapy, which is usually performed as an outpatient procedure.
After consultation with one of the pediatric epilepsy surgeons, a surgery may be offered. There will be plenty of time to discuss the details of surgery at this appointment; bringing a list of questions for the surgeon prepared in advance may be helpful.
In most cases your child will arrive at the hospital the morning of surgery. Expect a phone call 1-2 days in advance of surgery with specific instructions regarding preparation for surgery (arrival time, diet, etc.). In general, we recommend:
- A bath and shampoo on the evening before surgery
- Nothing should be taken by mouth after midnight the night before surgery, except for the usual anticonvulsant medications with a small sip of water if necessary
The morning of surgery you will meet the pediatric anesthesia team, when you will discuss the plan for anesthesia tailored to your child's needs and preferences.

Solitaire_7 wrote:Hmmm okay couple of things from first glance. Your shadow cruiser uses Saim-Hann which gets a 50% damage buff when it attacks from stealth. The thing is your shadow will reveal itself as soon as it opens fire thus loosing the damage buff after the first pitter patter of stars. Saim-Hann suits pulsar better than star cannon as pulsar does much higher alpha damage with its opening burst. You will still lose the buff until you stealth but it will hurt them more. Maybe consider Ulthwe on your shadow for the maelstrom synergy with your stasis bomb ? also gets +30 vs lightening attacks.
Solaris is better for scouting than eclipse but the eclipse suits Siam-Hann favor more so than Solaris due to having three pulsars. Two Solaris if you can afford it would be better for scouting although you could take an eclipse and upgrade an aconite for scouting with sensor range increase/extra turrets and fire aspect.
You might want to upgrade the sensors on the Solaris option and take an augur disrupter on one of them and your preferred choice of probe on the other. I think Ulthwe and Alaitoc suit the Solaris class better.
I've tried Saim-Hann and it has only really shined when using running silent pulsar ships. Also bare in mind your not locking on, you are running silent so when you attack the benefits lock on give you are traded for the +50% buff of Saim-Hann. The effects of Siam-Hann with star-cannon ships were disappointingly meh tbh.
Hey thanks for the reply (i was trying your stealth carrier build btw, makes ppl so mad lol).
I didn't realize it actually destealthed you when you fired, I thought you stayed stealth until you were within detection range... Well that kinda screws my entire idea lol.
Hmmm I still want to try and make the Shadows work as the core of the fleet somehow - I don't like the fact that most of the time you just skip past them and bulk up on LCs instead and they only get usage in mirrors.
Not too sure how tho, maybe a fleet that uses Wraithbone Enforcement and Biel-Tan for strafing runs out of no-where with stealth. Or try to make them a lil tankier and super close range and run away when things get a lil too hot with crew points into repair -> gunner, deflecting holo field, the 25% armor @ 3K and hull points.
I'm going to keep playing around with shadows and see if something I try actually works (R.I.P Renown haha)
EDIT: I've just been playing around with Saim-Hann and I think you are wrong with how it works, you have to be identified I think, I notice a pretty big DPS jump when I'm unidentified compared to when I'm identified.

Starting next May, motor-boaters will have to complete an eight-hour boat safety course and get a certificate to operate on New York waterways.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed the boat safety legislation into law on Friday. It will be phased in over several years, applying initially to anyone 18 or younger and eventually to all boaters. First-time violators could get a fine of $100 to $250.
The new law was proposed in the aftermath of fatal boating accidents last year on Long Island and upstate. In the Long Island accident, three children drowned when a cabin cruiser capsized following a July 4th fireworks display. In the other accident, a father and two sons died on Oneida Lake when a boat's driver was distracted by fireworks and hit a channel marker.

Amazon mocked Apple's new iPad Mini on its website, calling its Kindle Fire "Much More for Much Less."
Amazon compare the iPad Mini to the Kindle Fire, and also uses a quote from Gizmodo which reads:
" . . . your [Apple's] 7.9-inch tablet has far fewer pixels than the competing 7-inch tablets! You're cramming a worse screen in there, charging more, and accusing others of compromise? Ballsy."
U.S. & World
Among other things, Amazon points out the Kindle Fire's 216 pixels-per-square-inch and dual speakers, a comparison that's more favorable than the iPad Mini's mono speaker and 163 pixels-per-square-inch display. But the biggest different is the $199 price for the Kindle Fire versus the iPad Mini's $329.
While it may seem a bit brash to toot your own horn so loudly, Amazon has a point. Its Kindle Fire is a decent tablet for a reasonable price and it will take a while for Apple to compete with it.

Arrest in Sandy Hook memorial playground sign theft case
McLEAN, Va. - A Virginia man who believes the Sandy Hook school shootings were a hoax has been charged in the theft of two memorial signs in New Jersey and Connecticut dedicated to victims of those shootings, police said Friday.
Andrew Truelove, 28, who was renting a room in Herndon, has been charged in Fairfax County with possession of stolen property, Herndon police said.
Police say the blue and purple vinyl signs, one depicting a peace symbol, were stolen from playgrounds in Mystic, Conn., and Mantoloking, N.J. They were dedicated, respectively, to Grace McDonnell and Chase Kowalski, two of the 20 first-graders killed in the 2012 massacre.
At a press conference, Herndon Police Chief Maggie DeBoard said Truelove does not believe the Sandy Hook shootings occurred.
"It's hard to explain the 'why' because from our perspective it doesn't appear rational," DeBoard said.
After the Mystic sign was stolen, a man called the McDonnell family to taunt them, claiming responsibility for the theft and claiming the shootings were a hoax.
Well-wishers in Connecticut responded to the theft by putting up dozens of handmade signs, many with depictions of hearts and peace signs.
DeBoard said Truelove has a history of criminal behavior involving kids and that he is banned from school property in Fairfax County. Court records show a variety of charges against him in recent years, including trespassing, disorderly conduct and destruction of property.
A lawyer who is representing him in an ongoing, unrelated case, Suzanne Hruby, did not return a phone message left late Friday afternoon.
Truelove was being held in the Fairfax County jail. DeBoard said grand larceny charges are pending against him in Connecticut and New Jersey.
Herndon police said they acted on a tip they received from police in Stonington, Conn. earlier in the week.

"Inside Job," which just last month won Best Documentary at the Oscars, traces the roots of the global financial crisis back to the Reagan administration and the rise of the deregulators, who undid much of the legislation enacted in the wake of the Great Depression.
Career academic Charles Ferguson shifted to the world of documentary filmmaking with 2005's "No End In Sight: The American Occupation of Iraq," earning an Oscar nomination for his efforts. Around the same time, International Monetary Fund chief economist Raghuram Rajan was preparing a paper, "Has Financial Development Made the World Riskier?" which presciently foresaw the topic of Ferguson's second film.
Ferguson interviews an impressive array of economists, bankers, politicians and wonks to break down the events that created the climate that allowed for the wildly irresponsible actions taken by investment banks, as well as the enabling offered by government officials, and the havoc it wrought on both a macro- and micro-economic scale. And Ferguson—with the help of narrator Matt Damon--does a nice job of dumbing down the tangle of financial instruments and maneuvering that banks engaged in to make money out of thin air.
Ferguson is to be commended for his spreading around the blame for what went wrong, despite clearly being a man of the Left. He traces the story back to Ronald Reagan's deregulation of the savings and loans, which led to the S&L crisis just a few years later. But he also lays plenty of blame at the feet of the Clinton Administration, and men like Larry Summers and Robert Rubin, who repealed the Glass-Steagall Act that had kept personal banks and investment banks separate since 1933. He goes on to wag a finger at George W. Bush and Barack Obama, as well.
What's unfortunate about Ferguson's take-down of the Clinton Gang is that he neglects to mention that at the time that Rubin, Summers and Alan Greenspan were in power, the were almost universally lionized for their expertise, with Time magazine putting them on the cover with the headline, "The Committee to Save the World" and the ominous subhead "The inside story of how the Three Marketeers have prevented a global economic meltdown—so far."
You can hear the anger simmering in Ferguson's voice as he talks to some of the people he considers at the very least complicit in what's happened. There's one particularly great moment when Ferguson asks John Campbell, Department chair of Harvard University's Department of Economics, about conflicts of interest that have of late muddied the field of economics. Campbell just stammers and stumbles until admitting he might have to rethink the question. Unfortunately, Ferguson on more than one occasion edits out his subjects' answers, giving himself the last word—the moments come off as a cheap zingers.
The new Blu-ray edition of the film comes with the obligatory commentary from Ferguson and producer Audrey Marrs. There's also an interesting featurette about "The Making of 'Inside Job,'" in which Ferguson and Charles Morris, who predicted the mess in his book "The Trillion Dollar Meltdown: Easy Money, High Rollers and the Great Credit Crash," discuss how the film came about. And then there are the deleted scenes, of which there is far too many, with their total running time rivaling that of the film itself. There are some great moments among them, to be sure, but the footage is too raw and there's way to much of it, causing them to suffer from what economists would term diminishing returns.
"Inside Job" is available on Blu-ray and DVD March 8.

While on the road promoting new flick "Black Swan," Mila Kunis is already talking about another film in which she has some steamy scenes with Justin Timberlake -- and apparently that's not as easy as it sounds.
"The truth is we had to have very uncomfortable scenes for two weeks… there's about 150 crew men watching and you see each other's bits and pieces," the actress said on "The Ellen Degneres Show" about film, "Friends With Benefits." "The whole thing is just wrong."
As soon as Ellen followed up with "when you say bits and pieces..." Kunis blushed and started giggling.
U.S. & World
"Yeah, well, you'll see the movie."
The movie, directed by Will Gluck and slated for release next summer, details the relationship between two buddies that becomes complicated when they decide to get romantic. Emma Stone and Andy Samberg also have roles in the movie.
On the show, Ellen challenged her famous guest's words. "When you say uncomfortable-- probably not as uncomfortable for most women," she joked about her handsome co-star.

Sorry if it's a little off-topic. Just wanted to ask if any of you watched the fight or are fans of either of these 2. I just watched it a couple of hours ago, and damn Pacquiao = Legend! LOL at Diaz cussing a couple of times during the postmatch interview, "He was just f*cking fast" and "I said, 'What the f*ck?!'". This match redeemed Pacquiao of that close victory he had over Marquez in which several analysts thought it should have been Marquez or a draw. Moreover if Marquez watched this fight, he now might run away from that rematch he was asking, similar to how he ran away and tried to escape from a rematch he should have had with Pacquiao for about 3 years.
One controversial bout occurred in the undercards, and it was between Soto and Lorenzo. Didn't know much about them but it ended so controversial. I think Joe Cortez should be suspended for a year. That was the worst call ever. On one occassion he even seemed ready to stop the fight even breaking it off and pushing Soto out when he was pummelling Lorenzo, then all of a sudden he lets them continue. WTF?!
In another undercard, I think Santiago from Puerto Rico should have won against Mexico's Luevano, the defending champ. But I guess being the challenger he should have tried to win it more convincingly. But Santiago would have won that if he hadn't lost his footing after an unexpected counterattack from Luevano which cost him a knockdown which pretty much negated his earlier knockdown in round 2.
Manny Pacquiao = No.1 Pound for Pound!
Four major titles in four weight classes!

These opulent golden pearls are produced by the golden-lipped oyster. Harvested in sizes of 9mm and up, their warm, natural golden color is said to be rarer than gold itself. The color palette ranges from light champagne to a very rare, deep gold. This oyster species can also produce richly luminescent white pearls, but the deeper golden colors are the most coveted of all pearls.

Revenge of the purists.
Posted by Masakim on March 28, 2003
In Reply to: Revenge of the purists. posted by TheFallen on March 27, 2003
: : : : : Does any one know the meaning of the word "telestrate"? I think it might be some kind of portmanteau.
: : : : : Thanks in advance for any information.
: : : : It's a hideous word, isn't it? I only know it as a verb and have heard it used by those masters of word mutilation at Microsoft, amongst others. It's a recent coinage to do with overlaying graphics onto video, usually in the course of a presentation, or maybe, if you have interactive TV, if you call up facts about the programme that you are currently watching which then overlay the screen. The provenance is fairly depressingly clear - tele as in "television" (a leap of faith from the original Gr**k "distant") and strate as in L*tin "layer".
: : : I've never come across this word in verb form before. I'm familiar with the form "telestrator", which is an electronic pen used by commentators during sporting events to draw lines on a freeze-frame on the screen, to clarify some point they're making about the action. Currently the device is seeing heavy use on maps of Iraq.
: : I was somewhat surprised that "Telestrator" doesn't seem to be a trade mark
or brand name.
: : :
: : It's a useful gadget. The sports analyst circles the player-to-pay-attention-to on the replay, and you learn a little something. Television + demonstrate. But my immediate concern is ... why is this a "hideous" word? Given that this device exists, and seems clearly educational, it's here to stay. I'd suggest the verb that flows from it seems to be useful, too, on the grounds of efficiency: "telestrate" is a single word that sums up "point out the important things to notice in this televised image, " an 11-word pile of baggage. It's not a euphonious word, but not all that clanky, either. Why fight it?
: Admittedly I'm slightly calmed by the realisation that you're right, and it's formed from tele(vision) and (demon)strate, rather than my initial assumption that it was dealing with video layers and overlays - strata. If one is being a fanatical purist (not that I am - well not unless I'm caffeine-deprived at the time), the coinage commits a few irredeemable sins, namely:
: Although it splits the Gr**k prefix correctly, the resultant "tele" just means distant, and so is not relevant.
: It splits the L*tin suffix unnaturally. The natural word faultline is de-monstrate, rather than demon-strate. This I think explains my confusion re strata.
: It mixes Gr**k and L*tin word roots. I remember when quadraphonic was the latest buzz technology in audio equipment, and its launch engendered several snotty letters from fusty academics to various learned journals pointing out that it should either be quadrasonic or tetraphonic. I imagine that the same dusty professors, if still alive, would be having conniptions if they came across telestrate.
: I know, I know. I just think about these things too much.
How about the word "television"? It mixes Gr**k and L*tin word roots, too.

Renter beware: Devilish details lurk in leases
If you're a UVA student who's also a renter, I want you to ponder this statement long and hard; you may never again encounter such a whopping understatement: "Landlords vary greatly in competence and responsibility." Then I want you to bookmark the website where I found it, student.virginia.edu/~stud-leg/tips.html, and plumb its depths when you finish reading this.
The website is UVA Student Legal Services' (SLS) guide to renting in Charlottesville (or anywhere), and it's got excellent advice and links. The following pointers are a combination of their advice and my own, which is based on five years' worth of hearing about and investigating tenant– and occasionally landlord or neighbor– complaints. I've divided them between what you can do in your current rental and what you can do when shopping for the next.
First, be sure you have renter's insurance. You may already be covered under your parents' homeowner's policy, but if you're not, call an agent and get insured. It'll cost you less than $10 or so a month, yet could save you thousands– and, as SLS points out, you're not just covering your own stuff; you're also buying protection in case you accidentally damage someone else's stuff (or, heaven forbid, someone else's body).
Next, fill out a thorough move-in report; the SLS website has one you can download. Better yet, take pictures; best of all, do both. No matter how much documentation you gather, be sure to mail copies to your landlord and ask him or her to initial one copy and return it to you. There's an obvious reason to do this– so you can challenge unfair deductions from your deposit– but there's a subtler reason as well: You're telegraphing your expectation that the upcoming business transaction will be conducted in a fair and professional manner.
Finally, if you didn't read the lease carefully when you signed it, read it now. In my last trip into Landlord-Tenant Land ["Fleaced?" July 29, 2004], I wrote about tenants who were mighty unhappy about how long their deposit was being held. Then it turned out that the lease allowed it to be retained for up to three months. The landlord claimed that when tenants have pets– as two of the four tenants in that case did– it can take that long to make sure the property is free of fleas and other conditions.
The time limit allowed by the Virginia Residential Landlord Tenant Act, incidentally, is 45 days. As in this case, however, the lease's terms can override that.
The SLS website really shines when it comes to advice on what prospective renters should look for. "Choose a landlord," it states, "who has a history of providing professional service. That quality is essential." Amen. And the best way to find that out is to interview the current tenants and "ask specific questions– e.g., does the basement flood?"
The next tip could literally save your life: "If the property, or your walk to school and back from the property (at night!) seems unsafe, look elsewhere." This covers a lot more than chancy neighborhoods; a rotted step, inadequate wiring, or deck waiting to collapse the first time you have a party can be just as dangerous.
Which brings us back to that so-important-but-so-often-unread document, the lease. SLS will review your lease for free; you can download a model lease from their website, along with a model sublease form and a roommate agreement.
Speaking of subleases, find out exactly what the terms are. As one UVA student renting from one of the large management companies learned to her chagrin ["A little steep?" April 18, 2002], those terms can be forbidding.
Finally, ponder this: Landlords may vary in competence and responsibility, but so do tenants. Take reasonable care of the property and treat it with respect; that's what you promised to do when you signed the lease. And while you're at it, do the same for your neighbors.

UMBC plays its first road game in one month and travels out of the state of Maryland for the first time in the 2014 season when the Retrievers make their first-ever visit to High Point University to take on a 5-2 Panther squad at Vert Stadium on Saturday, March 15. The Retrievers are 3-2, after completing a four-game homestand with a 15-6 victory over Mercer on Tuesday, March 11, while High Point has won five straight, including a narrow 9-8 win over VMI on March 8. Video streaming is available via the Big South Network and live stats will be provided via High Point's website.
RETRIEVER UPDATE: UMBC outscored visiting Mercer, 7-0, in the third quarter and the Retrievers went on to defeat the Bears, 15-6, at UMBC Stadium on Tuesday evening. Five Retrievers posted three or more points – led by four points on two goals and two assists by sophomore midfielder Jack Gannon. Attackman Matt Gregoire was the lone UMBC player to tally three goals and the senior continues to lead the squad with 13 scores in five games. UMBC won its third game in the last four outings and improved to 3-2 on the season. UMBC outshot Mercer, 16-1, in the third period, and 49-28 for the contest. Red-shirt freshman goalkeeper Connor Gordon made 10 saves and allowed six goals in 54:14 of work. Gordon, who entered play sixth in the nation with 13.5 saves per game, has 10 or more saves in all five outings in 2014. Senior midfielder Zach Linkous, junior midfielder Ty Kashur and freshman attackman Grant Searfoss all tallied two goals and an assist for the Retrievers.
Gannon now has six goals and four assists in his last three games. Searfoss played in just his second game of the season and scored his first three collegiate points versus the Bears. The 15 goals scored by UMBC was a season high. Gregoire now has nine career hat tricks, including three in his last four games.
PANTHER UPDATE: High Point is riding a five-game winning streak after losing their first two games of the season. They are also in the midst of a five-game homestead, and have not lost at home this season. For the second time this season the Panthers swept the Atlantic Sun weekly awards last week. Graduate student Stevie Kirkup was named the Atlantic Sun Offensive Player of the Week and redshirt-junior Austin Geisler was named the Defensive Player of the Week. Kirkup, a transfer attackman from UNC, scored five goals on seven shots in a 9-8 win over VMI last Saturday. Geisler had nine saves in the same game, and an even more impressive 17 saves against Michigan in a 9-7 victory. High Point's last six games have all been decided by three goals or less and the Panthers have won their five contests by a total of eight goals. Sophomore attackmen Matt Thistle and Dan Lomas lead HPU in scoring with 21 points (4 goals, 17 assists), and a team-best 17 goals on the season, respectively.
WHO'S UP NEXT: UMBC is in the midst of a stretch where they play five times in 15 days. As spring break begins for the university, the Retrievers return to the field on Tuesday evening, March 18 when they visit cross-town rival Towson. Game time at Johnny Unitas Stadium is set for 7:00 p.m.

Tales of Symphonia Cheats :
Unlockable - ALL RECIPES!
You are able to cook throughout the game by gathering ingredients. Cooking is another way to recover lost HP and TP, and to cure Status Effects that inhibit combat prowess. Since meals affect all the characters in the party, cooking is a better method of recover than using most items!
Several requirements must be fulfilled to cook. The party must possess food items to use as ingredients, and the recipe to cook a meal must be understood. The choice of cook is also important, since some characters are better at cooking certain dishes than others. Make sure and fill up each character's cooking skill to increase the effect of cooking!
You can cook after battles, or between battles. Ingredients are obtained from defeating enemies, or can be bought in the various towns you will visit.
To unlock recipes, look at various objects that seem out of place. The wonder chef will pop out and teach you a new recipe!

If you attend this weekend's opening performances of the San Antonio Symphony's Classics Ovation series, look very carefully at the rear corners of the stage. You will see two six-foot tall cylinders standing in the corners. I saw them onstage for the first time at yesterday's rehearsal and couldn't figure out what they were or their function.
David Filner, our Vice President and General Manager, explained that the devices were designed by the world-famous acoustician who built the shell at the Majestic Theatre. Its purpose is to disperse sounds that get trapped in the corners and project them out into the hall. It has been stored in the basement of the Majestic Theatre for years and he decided to try it out at this weekend's concerts.
I asked Lee Hipp (our principal tuba player who sits right nearby the weird devices) if it had an effect and he said he thought he was sounding better than ever! (Although he also attributed the improvement to hours and hours of practice!)
Let me know if you can hear a difference!

A reunion that is almost too sweet to bear: The San Diego Zoo Safari Park's newest gorilla mom Imani got to hold her baby for the first time Monday morning.
The 12-day-old female gorilla was placed on a soft hay pile, and Imani was let in to physically meet her daughter.
The mother took a close look at her baby, smelled her and eventually picked her up.
U.S. & World
"Initially she was just carrying the baby, she never set the baby down," said Andrew Stallard, the park's animal care supervisor. "About three hours in, she began nursing the baby."
In about five minutes, the baby fell asleep in her mother's arms, an exciting moment for the staff.
The tiny ape has been through a lot since her birth on March 12 through emergency C-section, a rare procedure for gorillas.
She was treated for a collapsed lung the day after her birth, and on March 18, the zoo announced she had been diagnosed with pneumonia.
But on Monday, Imani finally got some bonding time with the little one– who still does not have a name – and cradled her around the bedroom area, eventually letting the baby cling onto her back as she moved around.
After some one-on-one time, animal care staff let 5-year-old male gorilla Frank into the bedroom area. Zoo officials say Imani has a special bond with Frank, since she acted as his surrogate mother after he was born in the zoo in 2008.
Officials said staff will continue monitoring the infant gorilla to make sure she is getting the nutrition she needs.
This is Imani's first baby and the 17th to be born at the Safari Park, where eight gorillas now live.

"A life, Jimmy, you know what that is? It's the shit that happens while you're waiting for moments that never come." Lester Freamon (The Wire)
But the greatest surprise for me were the "hidden" bonus tracks of instrumental hiphop beats. I mean we knew he had production skills and that he was into Dilla (check the story behind Lookin' at Blue) but I never guessed he take his music in this direction. The stand out track for me is Hidden track #3. It get the same kind of feeling as back in the day when I learnt that Kenny Dope was behind The nervous track and Boomin' in ya jeep. Listen below and be fast to track down a copy of your own before they're gone. Forever.
As a bonus here's Karizma's epic mixtape for FACT. Check the tracklist here.

Thanks to Darren Moffat for poking holes in my previous post, or more explicitly pointing out that I could add more useful and interesting data. Darren commented that it was a shame I hadn't included the time to take a crash dump along side the size, and space usage. The reason for this is that one reason for using vmdump format compression from savecore is to minimize the time required to get the crash dump off the dump device and on to the file system.
The motivation for this reaches back many years, back to when the default for Solaris was to use swap as the dump device. So when you brought the system back up, you wanted to wait till savecore completed before letting the system complete coming up to multiuser (you can tell how old this is by the fact we're not talking about SMF services)
So with Oracle Solaris 11 the root file system is ZFS, and the default configuration is to dump to a dump ZVOL. And as it's not used by anything else, the savecore can and does run in the background. So it isn't quite as important to make it as fast as possible. It's still interesting though, as with everything in life, it's a compromise.
One problem with the tests I wrote about yesterday is the size of the dumps is too small to make measurement of time easy (size is one thing, but we have fast disks now, so getting 8GB off a zvol on to a file system takes very little time)
So this is not a completely scientific test, but an illustration which helps me understand what the best solution for me is. My colleague Clive King wrote a driver to leak memory to create larger kernel memory segments, which artificially increases the amount of data a crash dump contains. I told this to leak 126GB of kernel memory, set the savecore target directory to be one of "uncompressed" "gzip9 compressed" or "LZJB Compressed", and in the first case set it to use vmdump format compressed dumps, oj and then I took a crash dump, repeating over the 3 configurations. The idea being to time the difference in getting the dump on to the file system.
This is a table of what I found
| Size Leaked (GB)
| Size of Crash Dump (GB)
| ZFS pool space used (GB)
| Time to take dump (mm:ss)
| Time from panic to crash dump available (mm:ss)
| GZIP level 9
Notice one thing, the compression ratio for gzip 9 is massive - 70x, so this is probably a side effect of the fact it's not real data, but probably contains some easily compressible data. The next step should be to populate the leaked memory with random data.
So what does this tel us - assuming the lack of random content isn't an issue, that for a modest hit in time take to get the dump from the dump device (7:05 vs 6:15) we get an uncompressed dump on an LZJB compressed ZFS file system while using a comparable amount of physical storage. This allows me to directly analyse the dump as soon as it's available. Great for development purposes. Is it of benefit to our customers? That's something I'd like feedback on. Please leave a comment if you see value in this being the default.

I suggest you check this out. Now that Ancestry.com owns FindAGrave.com, I would guess that some agreement between MyHeritage.com and BillionGraves.com was almost inevitable. I might also mention that an updated Index and link to BillionGraves.com is also on FamilySearch.org.
Does this mean that the gravemarker race is now on? I certainly hope so because all of us out here in the genealogy community can certainly benefit from the preservations of all those millions of gravemarkers. Oh, by the way, here is the description of the project from the new landing page:
MyHeritage has teamed up with BillionGraves in the great initiative of documenting every headstone in the world with the free and simple to use BillionGraves app.
BillionGraves is MyHeritage's preferred cemetery headstone crowdsourcing application. With patent-pending technology, translations into 25 major languages, as well as advanced systems for handling Gregorian, Hebrew and Julian dates, BillionGraves is the best international application for documenting and preserving headstone information. It's fun, too! (in a unique way that only genealogists would understand).
Register for free on this page. Then download the free mobile application for any iOS or Android device. All information you contribute will be posted on BillionGraves and MyHeritage SuperSearch where it will be free for all users. MyHeritage Record Matching will match it for free to the 27 million family trees on MyHeritage.Hmm. Interesting that the largest cemetery in Phoenix, Arizona, the Greenwood Memorial Cemetery, with tens of thousands of gravemarkers has only about 40 images on BillionGraves.com and only 11 images on FindAGrave.com. It certainly looks like both of these sites have a ways to go yet. I also note that cremations may pose a challenge.

Qtopia / Qt Extended on FreeRunner
From Openmoko
This page provides instructions on how to install Qtopia (proper, not the ASU or QtopiaOnX11 efforts) on the GTA02 (Freerunner) phone. It is similar to the Qtopia on Neo1973 page.
Current status
On 08 August 2008, Qtopia released the latest flash image for the FIC Neo Freerunner (gta02) containing the Qtopia 4.3.2 snapshot (Version: 4.3.2-080808) of 08 August 2008 (GPL version).
This image can successfully make and receive calls and text messages. It can read all contacts from the SIM card (which the updated 2007.2 does not appear to be able to do). It contains apps that appear to be more stable than the ones found in the 2007.2 image. It has multiple input methods that appear to be more mature. It does not, however, have a web browser or a GPS application.
You can find all the Qtopia images here
Option 1: Flashing Qtopia to FreeRunner
Download the image mentioned above and follow the instructions here: Flashing the Neo FreeRunner
Option 2: Dual-Booting between Qtopia and 2007.2 (Qtopia boots from MicroSD card)
Installation Requirements:
- SSH shell access to 2007.2 based image of the FreeRunner through USB interface or WLAN.
- A Desktop Linux distro (to unpack the .jffs2 image, I ran Ubuntu under VMWare)
Preparing the SD card
See the Preparing the SD Card section of the Booting from SD page for partitioning and formatting instructions.
Installing Qtopia
Unpacking the Qtopia Root Filesystem Image
Download the Qtopia FLASH image from Latest Images#Qtopia image from qtopia.net to your Linux box and extract its contents:
tar xzf qtopia-4.3.2-gta02-flash-*.tgz
You should now have two files:
- uImage-2.6.24+git18+9c058ff0d2641df3c36fc3300acb72078d2c41d4-r0-om-gta02.bin
- qtopia-4.3.2-gta02-rootfs-07172049.jffs2
Now extract the root file system from the jffs2 using the commands found here.
Now, tar up the root filesystem:
tar czf qtopia-4.3.2-gta02-rootfs-07172049.tar.gz -C <mountpoint> .
Where <mountpoint> is the location where the jff2 filesystem was mounted.
Installing Root Filesystem
Transfer this compressed tarball to the second partition of the MicroSD that is mounted on the FreeRunner:
scp qtopia-4.3.2-gta02-rootfs-07172049.tar.gz email@example.com:/media/mmcblk0p2/
Log in to your FreeRunner and unpack the root filesystem:
cd /media/mmcblk0p2 tar xzf qtopia-4.3.2-gta02-rootfs-07172049.tar.gz rm qtopia-4.3.2-gta02-rootfs-07172049.tar.gz rm -f /media/mmcblk0p2/boot/*
Note: the last step removes the kernel image from the second partition. For some reason, U-Boot cannot find the uImage.bin file in the first partition if a kernel image exists in the second partition boot/ directory.
Installing Kernel
From your Linux box, rename uImage-2.6.24+git18+9c058ff0d2641df3c36fc3300acb72078d2c41d4-r0-om-gta02.bin to uImage.bin and copy it to the boot/ on the first partition of the MicroSD card.
|NOTE: There are reports that the kernel image sometimes does not work from the /boot directory. If this is the case for you, try moving the kernel image into the root of the microSD card, ie: /media/card instead of /media/card/boot. This is probably dependent on the version of U-Boot installed. It also doesn't hurt, seeing as there is room on the first partition, to simply have uImage.bin in both locations.
mv uImage-2.6.24+git18+9c058ff0d2641df3c36fc3300acb72078d2c41d4-r0-om-gta02.bin uImage.bin scp uImage.bin firstname.lastname@example.com:/media/card/boot/ scp uImage.bin email@example.com:/media/card/
Option 3: updating from source
|NOTE: This will upgrade only opt/Qtopia directory, you should use opkg update/upgrade for the rest
Original Qtopia images (the distribution released by Trolltech, not ASU) are rarely released as a rootfs image, but the source code is often updated. If you want to reflash your OM with the latest version of Qtopia you might build it from sources. This has been explained in this thread of the community mailing list. Summing up:
- get the latest toolchain released by trolltech: http://www.qtopia.net/modules/mydownloads/singlefile.php?lid=38
- unzip it on your PC in / (as root)
- get the latest snapshot from trolltech: ftp://ftp.trolltech.com/qtopia/snapshots/
- once dowloaded untar it
tar xvzf qtopia-opensource-src-4.3.2-snapshot-20080806.tar.gz
- make a "build" dir
mkdir build cd build
- configure and make:
../qtopia-opensource-src-4.3.2-snapshot-20080806/configure -device ficgta01 make
This will take some time (couple hours). Note that the option "-device ficgta01" should work for both neo and freerunner. Then:
make install
will make a root directory into build directory. That directory should be copied to /opt/Qtopia of your phone with scp. once done restart qpe or whole phone.
Booting into Qtopia
Now shutdown the FreeRunner
shutdown -h now
Log into U-Boot in the NOR Flash to boot from the MicroSD card: (instructions from Booting the Neo FreeRunner)
- Press and hold Power button
- Then while still pressing the Power button, press and hold AUX button for 5 to 8 seconds.
- A boot menu will appear.
- Press the AUX button to select "Boot from MicroSD" and then press the Power button to execute.
Qtopia should now boot.
Note: you may get a kernel panic which says that "optional features not supported". If this is the case, boot back into 2007.2 and run
umount /dev/mmcblk0p2 fsck.ext3.e2fsprogs /dev/mmcblk0p2
This will clean up the file system and clear recovery flags in ext3 that ext2 does not support, then try booting from the MicroSD again.
