The good people of Boulder, Colorado recently hosted its first ever ultra-groovy yoga festival and I was there.
The Hanuman Festival, dreamed up about a year ago by Valerie D'Ambrosio (a force for good in the world) was a wonderful gathering of yogis and yoginis from far and near. The festival was named in honor of Hanuman, the mighty ape that aided Lord Rama in his expedition against evil forces and is one of the most popular idols in the Hindu belief system.
Believed to be an avatar of Lord Shiva, Hanuman is worshiped as a symbol of physical strength, perseverance and devotion. The Hanuman Festival, as we say here in the West, rocked.
I got to spend time with good friends and to reconnect with some women with whom I participated in the Off the Mat, Into the World® leadership training in Denver in November. My perpetually tight shoulders opened up in a brand new way in Amy Ippoliti's class. Seane Corn once again inspired me to reach deeper, higher, more. Kia Miller radiated grace, charm and beauty. Simon Miller almost killed me with one hip opener after another (but I loved it).
I did Kundalini, Anusara, Vinyassa flow, and trance danced my way to multiple blisters on my feet and a profound release of old tensions. I breathed in pranyama, breathed out lion's breath and I sweat like a mo-fo. I was told to rewind, release, and return.
In a circle led by exuberant drummer Suzanne Sterling, seventy yogis and yoginis reenacted an ancient circle of fire, shouting out words like fear, anger, shame, pain and addiction, then brought in positive words of life such as love, acceptance, grace, forgiveness. Powerful stuff.
Exposed to the wonders of yoga at an early age, I still have photos of my grandmother and me doing Halasana (plow pose) when I was just seven years old.
In college, I partook in various yoga and meditation classes when I could fit them in between keggers and occasional studying. Over the years, I had popped in and out of yoga classes, but had never really made a commitment.
Then in 2003, I turned forty. Then I had a baby. At first I went to class simply as an excuse to get the hell out of the house, but after a while, I was hooked. A few years later, I learned that I have advanced degenerative arthritis and cervical spine issues.
My yoga practice took on more of a life-saving role, and I then discovered Core Power yoga. Burning and sweating through intense Vinyassa felt so good on my aching muscles, and I left class feeling like I'd had a facial. Bonus! My yoga practice had become an integral part of my life, and I am deeply grateful for it.
But I gotta be honest here. For me, the Hanuman Festival wasn't all love and peace and hugs. There were several moments in the midst of all these Chataranga Dandasanas and exultation that I found myself wondering—as the kids say these days—is this "for reals?"
Is it okay that I buy my yoga clothes at Sierra Trading Post in the bargain bin, instead of the Prana store in Boulder? What about those of us who carry some middle age around our middle, who don't have abs (or arms or legs or butts) of steel?
Was I hip enough to be here? Was I smiling enough? Should I rush over to the Pearl Street Mall to get an armband tattoo on my shoulder or a tramp stamp on my lower back? And what of these Sanskrit chants? Does anyone know the meaning of the words, or are we just drinking the Kool-Aid?
Why oh why wasn't my vibration getting lifted as advertised?
What I began to notice is that some folks take this yoga thing very seriously. Very. I think I get the basic idea. Yoga has been around a long time and it is indeed a sacred practice. But why didn't people smile back to me as I passed them on the way to class? I made a real point to make eye contact and more often than not, I was met with either a blank stare or was ignored completely.
Now, I'm a pretty friendly person (especially after two cups of coffee—ooops—probably shouldn't admit that) so I didn't understand this. Why were some people walking around like they were trying to make the subway to get to work? Weren't we all supposed to be in oscillation to a higher plane?
Then there is the whole business of yoga that turned me off. There were at least three yoga mat companies selling mats, several over-priced clothing booths displaying flowy batik dresses and cork shoes and lots of organic free-trade, nonfat, gluten free things to eat, drink and rub on our skin.
Don't get me wrong. I have several flowy batik dresses hanging in my closet, right above my cork shoes and I enjoy a good BumbleBar made from seeds grown on farmer-owned co-ops in Honduras. With over sixteen million people in North America practicing yoga, a whopping six billion dollars—that's SIX BILLION—was spent on yoga products in the last year. I get it, I even participate in it, but I don't really like it.
I now realize that in taking notice of these things, I was in my dark. Maybe I'm a cynic. I am, after all, a New Yorker at heart, despite the fact that I've called Boulder County my home for twenty-one years. I felt a little disappointed that my vibration didn't lift, my charkas weren't more aligned and frankly, that I hadn't lost five pounds after all of that trance dancing.
About halfway through the weekend, a shift occurred. I laughed loud and hard in Anand Mehrota's class, despite the fact that he gave an in-depth talk about yoga and spirituality. He said this thing that stuck: "Please don't take this stuff too seriously." And he is a real Indian (which for whatever reason gave him more validity in my mind).
Then…Hanuman happened. The more I looked around, the less hard bodies I saw. I began to see regular people with normal bodies, stretching to new heights and grunting their way into and out of poses. After years of telling myself there was no friggin' way I could get into Urdhva Dhanurasana (wheel pose) there I was, with the help of goddess Ellin Todd, getting into full wheel.
I noticed the woman who practiced not in Lucy or Lululemon pants but in khakis. She was also quite overweight, which made me love her more. I started to look into people's eyes and to let them look into me. I stopped looking for people to smile back at mine.
My step got lighter—I didn't need to walk with such intense purpose, hard against the ground below me. I got lighter. My heart was melting! Entering the Boulder Theater to experience the phenomenon that is MC Yogi, I was able to giggle as I overheard someone say to her friend, "Gotta go! Namaste!"
So while there were moments at Hanuman Festival that were reminiscent of Grateful Dead shows a lifetime ago—I wondered if I was cool enough, did I belong, did I have the right clothes on—there were also moments of pure grace. It's said about Hanuman that it's hard to find a mythical character that is as powerful, philosophic, humble and amusing. There I was, experiencing the light and dark within my own self. What a gift.
I will go again next year to the Hanuman Festival. And I'll wear my bargain bin yoga clothes and my wrinkles and my tummy. I will bring an open heart, an open mind and my mat spray. And I will honor both the light and the dark within myself and in others.
For now, I gotta go Namaste.

12.12.12 Reflections for Gran 'du Plessis'
God sent lightning and showers
To prepare for the day.
The rain poured down for hours
Drenching and cleaning on its way.
When the cleaning was done right through,
The clouds rested in relief above;
And the sun's rays shone right through,
Like God's hand wearing a washing up glove.
Below the sky fields were flooded,
Cradling still pools of perfect glass;
Holding photographs of heaven,
Captured in the water on the grass.
Then one of God's gorgeous birds
Danced in the crystal treasure;
Making the water shimmer,
Holding heaven on earth with pleasure.

Select a Home Builder
Having moved here from Kansas four years ago, I wanted a nice neighborhood that would fit in my budget. I found Lakepointe! It was the best decision I ever made! I love the area so we have decided to have you build our new home in the neighborhood. We are so grateful to you and all you have done for us!-Lori A.
Briarwood Homes
Briarwood Homes are built on larger lots, have higher ceilings and more square footage and are an excellent value! With several thousand homes built in the last 18 years, Briarwood Homes are a great option for an expanding family, buyers looking to move up or anyone wanting more space. Briarwood Homes has many appealing plans ready for your family to spread out.
Briarwood Homes, a member of the Long Lake Ltd. family of builders was highly ranked of Houston Builders by Metrostudy and also highly ranked for quality by J.D. Power and Associates for 2010.
Briarwood Homes' Communities
Bradbury Forest, Briarwood Crossing, Grand Oaks – The Preserve, Villages of Cypress Lakes – Cypress Green, Villages of Cypress Lakes – Hyde Park,
Here's what some of our customers have to say about us:
"We are so happy now that we have found our 'Home' and feel Safe here. Everything was in detail and there were no hidden gimmicks. we went through his or her lender and had no middleman or long process of finalizing."
Amy L.
"What I love most about our Briarwood home is the layout of our floor plan. We really do use the entire house. We don't have any space that is not functional and I like that. It allows us to spread out and enjoy personal time, but we still get to enjoy our time together as a family. In our old house there was a room at the front of the house that was never used, so that made the house seem even smaller than it actually was.
Our Briarwood experience was special because we were taking advantage of the homebuyer tax credit and we really need to get in the house by a certain time. I felt as though the company really worked with us to try and get us in by that time. It was nice to see them moving a long so quickly while still providing quality work. Also during our one year warranty, we were able to contact whoever we needed to come in and make repairs very quickly."

Spoilers ahead
The question is, 'What if Jesus returned in the modern era?' That is the heart and soul of this novel written by Steve N. Lee but it was probably better that he left the name of Jesus off the cover. The story doesn't need a religious connotation to be relevant. The power of its ideas alone give it plenty of leg room to run off with our imaginations.
What if…? begins with John Connolly, who is a New York City derelict who stumbles onto a car accident and is accused of sexually molesting an unconscious victim. The victim, named Mary, later recovers, not only from her life threatening injuries but also, oddly, of her diabetes. The accident was witnessed by a passing limo that held a rather atheistic Commander in Chief. He is responsible for putting Connolly behind bars and keeps his hair trigger aimed at him as events progress.
Perplexed by her newly given health Mary hunts down John to find out what really happened, only to accept the fact that his ability to heal must be real. She convinces him to use his gift for good and thus begins a credit card driven bounce around the country to heal sick children. As John's healing ability touches people personally his clan of helpers and followers grows exponentially.
With an election looming and this modern day messiah creating miracles on a daily basis the forces of political fanaticism clash with those who have witnessed the miracles for themselves. The violence beckons John to expand his peaceful philosophy to its ultimate expression. That's when he declares his intention to run for President of the United States. It's not the end of the story by far but you can see where this is going.
What if…? is a dramatic tale driven by conflicted characters who rarely show any religious leanings even after witnessing the impossible. The author gives us an example of what the world might be like if dogmatic rationalism refused to acknowledge the importance of faith. This painfully logical world lacked enough heart to recognize a man who was there without a motive beyond his desire to heal. I can't help but to agree with the premise that such a society would very likely destroy its saviors and itself.

It's not really like a hostel, it's more like you're staying with the owner. The kitchen is fully equipped and the hostel is very small with not a lot of rooms. Oscar, the owner, is an amazing host and helps with everything. He booked bus tickets, activities and in general tells you everything you need to know about San Gil. The only down part would be that the room didn't have ac but I could sleep anyway so it wasn't a problem for me. I can highly recommend it!

Excellent all over, excellent guide, very nice tour, gives you the places in Rome you need to visit, good price.
Recenserad av: Jean W , januari 2017
My sister and I had an outstanding tour of Rome and our guide, Oleg was so good to us. We had never been on a Segway before but we picked it up really quick because he did such a great job of telling and showing us the does and don't of riding. We got a great overview of the cited and were able to make several stops at different points of interest.
Recenserad av: Laura B , januari 2017
They Gave the Best Tour of Rome! Ask for Oleg!
This was our first time to Rome and on a Segway. We booked the 2-hour Classic Rome tour as a family of six with 2 teenagers and had a fantastic time! Segway Rome Tours offered the best price online and it was the highlight of our trip to Rome. Ask for Oleg when you book, he was very knowledgeable and has been leading yours for 3 years. You get practice training and a basic Segway safety lesson to start. I should mention - I was a very nervous mom on a Segway, I didn't feel confident enough to ride the entire journey on the busy streets. Oleg made sure I was relaxed and personally led me and my Segway through the difficult points to maneuver - I didn't slow down the group, we were all safe, and we all had fun seeing the beautiful sites of Roma up close and personal. This is a great company and we will ALWAYS look for a Segway tour when we visit a new city! Grazie Oleg!!!!
Recenserad av: Simona S , november 2016
We had a blast!!!! The highlight of our trip in Rome 4 days. Our guide Oleg was informative, encouraging we were a family of a mom 60 years old and 3 kids 30s exploring Rome. First time on segways for us. Oleg asked where we were and what we saw and what the plan for the next days was...and customized our trip. Cannot recommend more!

This was well worth doing. Quentin was a great guide and very careful on busy streets. It was a great intro to Rome!
Recenserad av: brendastafford59 , september 2016
Quinn was exceptional! We were delayed to getting to our original tour time and was able to still go on our 1st Segway ride! Even though it rained, Quinn made it a new favorite thing to do! He was very patient, a great teacher, very professional, new the safest routes ..... HE WAS THE BEST!! So happy that we had HIM for our guide!!
Recenserad av: sebastiaan p , september 2016
great guide, had a nice trip through the park with the lovely trip.
Highly recommendable!
Recenserad av: Ken , augusti 2016
GREAT. Harry took his time to make sure we were all good on the segways. He then went at a good pace to let us enjoy the sights. Gave good information as we did the tour. I would recommend this when you first get to Rome to learn your way around and the segways were fun.
Recenserad av: Fraser B , juli 2016
Really fun tour, first time for me and my wife on a segway but very professional tutoring from oleg very nice guy made us feel comfortable and in control. Would recommend and use viator again for this kind of tour. Many thanks.
Recenserad av: PASTORE/RUPP TRIP , juli 2016
Highly recommended. Had a great time and our guide was very patient because I couldn and #39;t get the hang of it. Would certainly book this again. Nice break from the regular tours.

Cannot recommend this tour enough, it was amazing from start to finish.
Our guide -Santi was so friendly and informative and made sure we were looked after. He is a credit to this company, thank you so much for all you done! Best wishes!
Best way to see Rome and all the sights - Worth every penny!
Recenserad av: Mary N , oktober 2015
This was the very first thing we did when we arrived in Rome on 9/26. It was AWESOME!! I always felt perfectly safe - even crossing the few busy streets we had to navigate. Our guide was personable and knowledgeable. We saw so much! Rode all over Rome and stopped for 5 or 10 minutes to get off and get up close and personal with all the sights. I HIGHLY recommend this tour to get an overview of Rome, see the sights and decide where you want to go back to spend more time. If you only had one day in Rome you could see most everything on this tour! SO FUN!!!
Recenserad av: kath4cubs , september 2015
I'd give this 100 stars if I could! I was anxious about riding a segway as I had never done so before. I won't tell you my age, but I am retired! Our guide, Arthur, was not only a great Segway instructor, but a Fabulous guide! He taught us how to use the Segway, gave us practice time and made sure we were comfortable before taking off on our tour. Arthur grew up in Rome spoke perfect Englishand told us historical facts about various areas we went to. He also had a great sense of humor. We covered more on the Segway than if we chose to walk. We went into places, I never would have known to enter and certainly wouldn't have made such places with a BIG BUS tour. I did the entire tour, sometimes crossing a busy Rome street, feeling safe with the guidance of Arthur. Loved it so much, I'd definitely do a Segway tour again of Rome or any other city. My family and I thought this tour was one of the highlights of our 3 week trip! Thanks Viator and Thank you Arthur! Thank you also to the guy who was renting out the Segways....Very nice young man sorry, I forgot his name.
Recenserad av: Dal S , juli 2015
This was the best tour we did while in Italy. It was a great way to cover a lot of ground and see most of the sites in a shorter amount of time. It also gave us reference of where we wanted to go back and spend more time. Our guide was very informative and made the whole experience very fun.

Tots 100, the UK's largest community of active parent bloggers and RealWire the online press release distribution service published exclusive research by Tots100 in February 2012 which revealed that the parent blogging community is becoming increasingly commercialised, presenting huge opportunities for brands that can engage with bloggers.
Tots100 polled more than 500 active UK parent blogs in December 2011, asking bloggers how they make their blogs pay – and what role brands play in this process. The results revealed that 59% of UK parent blogs have made money from blogging in the past 12 months, but 90% of respondents would either like to make more money or start to monetise their blogs. Popular ways for bloggers to make money include sponsored posts (22%), advertising (17%) and paid text links (12%).
A second survey of 250 parent bloggers asked about their experience of working with brands through public relations. The results showed that bloggers are receiving more pitches than ever before, and this means they are increasingly choosy about which brands they will work with. One in three bloggers will opt not to work with a brand they don't personally like, while 67% of parent bloggers said their biggest frustration was PR professionals sending information that wasn't relevant.

From the book jacket: Several days before Christmas 2003, John Gregory
Dunne and Joan Didion saw their only daughter, Quintana, fall ill with what
seemed at first flu, then pneumonia, then complete septic shock. She was put
into an induced coma and placed on life support. Days later the night before
New Year's Eve the Dunnes were just sitting down to dinner after visiting the
hospital when John Gregory Dunne suffered a massive and fatal coronary. In a
second, this close, symbiotic partnership of forty years was over. Four weeks
later, their daughter pulled through. Two months after that, arriving at LAX,
she collapsed and underwent six hours of brain surgery at UCLA Medical Center to
relieve a massive hematoma.
This powerful book is Didion's attempt to make sense of the "weeks and then months that cut loose any fixed idea I ever had about death, ...

Miryam unzipped
the tent flap
and looked out
pretty dead out here
she said
Benedict looked at her butt
hiding behind
the blue jeans
come back in then
no point
in going out yet
she zipped it
back up
and crawled back
beside him
and lay down
looking up
at the blue tent canvas
what do you think
Morocco's like??
she asked
he replied
she laughed
I know that
but to experience it
apart from what
was in the booklet
they sent
with the other stuff
she said
have to see
when we get there
he replied
are you sure
that ex-army bloke
won't be back?
she asked
not for a few hours
he's gone to see sights
in Malaga
lucky us
she said
make the most of
he said
she gazed at him
is there no
satisfying you?
pretty much not
he said
she smiled
I'm sure people
heard us earlier
she said
your fault
if they did
he said
all that noise
and giggling
and oh oh oh
more more
I didn't
she said
you're making it up
pretty much so
he said
she kissed his cheek
to think I thought you
were the quiet one
she said
I am quiet
as a mouse
he replied
what if he comes back early
and we're making out?
she said
he won't
he's off to see
Picasso was born
and other
arty things
Benedict said
people might talk
if they see me
in here too much
she said
they can't see you
in here
he said
they might hear me
then be silent
he said smiling
trying to unbuttoned
her jeans
she watched him
biting her lower lip
and turning her head
at an angle
who said you could?
shall I stop?
he said
no don't you dare
she breathed out
she held his fingers
and helped unbutton
until they were
all done

and unzipped his jeans
with one motion
why would he want
to see
where Picasso was born?

taking off
her jeans

Benedict undressed
taking in
her tight tits
in the blue bra

that kind of thing
boring fart
she said
putting her jeans
and underwear
to one side
yes guess so
Benedict said
what if
he changes his mind
and comes back?
she said
laying down
next to him
well he'll get
a free lesson
in biology
won't he
Benedict said
she smiled
and kissed his neck
and said
utterly sexy
what the hell
what the heck.

Glass the Sky
Glass the Sky has been around about a year, but consider Friday's show a coming-out party. According to bassist and vocalist Michael Mazzella, the five local musicians had been playing in other bands for years and gradually realized they were going through the motions. Three of them started jamming together, the spark was rekindled and they recruited two more, which also allowed them to add four-part harmonies as a somewhat unexpected bonus. Like the band, the songs on their forthcoming EP were all born as improvisations; Mazzella claims they were inspired by Radiohead, Minus the Bear, Appleseed Cast and Grizzly Bear, and the songs' unusual intricacy and intensity certainly bear that out. The untitled EP's cover art will, notes Mazzella, no doubt ensure it becomes known as "The Dome EP."

Maintaining Motivation with Adult ADD
"My entire life, I have struggled to stay motivated. I work full-time and study music; while the desire is there, the push to 'do' is not, and as a result, my school and work performance is suffering. What do I do?"
Sometimes we lose sight of why things are important to us.
Taking the time to sit down and write a list why music is valuable to you will be worth the effort put into the exercise. Once you have done this, carry the list with you or post it in a place where you will read it often.
If you do not have a vision of what role music will have for you in the future, you will also lack the motivation needed to stick with your practices and enjoy them. Ask yourself the following questions:
When you can align your music goals with who you are as a person and what you value in life, the steps to make your goals happen become clearer and the process involved becomes enriched. Musical talent is not something that everyone is blessed with, so be grateful and enjoy it. When it comes time to practicing, don't ask yourself what you need to do, ask yourself what you want to do.
Many colleges and universities offer student health care plans that may meet your needs and be affordable. Check to find out what is available through student services at your college.

The newest "American Idol" winner Lee DeWyze spoke with the press backstage after his big win. Lee tells us about his experience, the thrill of it all and the fact that he had to ignore the judges' after the final performances because he did his best.
"This is an amazing experience, especially since this has been such a long process," says Lee. "It's been a lot harder than I thought it would be."
And how did it feel when Ryan Seacrest announced he had won? "There was confetti flying, there was fireworks, songs are starting, people are cheering," Lee laughs. "It just all happened so fast. It was amazing, it felt like a huge weight lifted off my shoulders and now that this big step is done, it's on to the next step, which is to make an album and go on tour and do all the things I wanted to do for a long time."
The judges were pretty harsh on Lee after the final performances, was he surprised that he won? "No … by the last week, you get it. They're gonna say what they're gonna say and regardless of what they say, as long as you go out there and you try your hardest at doing what you want to do, you can't really walk away with regrets," Lee explains.
"There's been ups and downs to this season for me, for everybody, and that's what makes this show so great," he continues. "It's vulnerable. You go up there and you do what you can. Sometimes it's awesome and sometimes it's not and it's just learning from your mistakes and becoming a better performer."

From Columbia's Free Times:
At least two people identifying themselves as State Law Enforcement Division officers approached employees of a Barnes & Noble bookstore on Harbison Boulevard several weeks ago and asked if the store stocked Gangsta Rap Coloring Book by Aye Jay Morano. "They were wanting to buy them all up and demand we didn't carry them again," says Matt Boyleston, an employee of the store who lives in Columbia.
Unfortunately we've sold out of the coloring book right now. We're waiting for reprints!

Ok so i have tried all the versions of most emus and still no luck, has anyone had much success with any emulator in Fullscreen on vista?
- rausch101 - 2009-04-17 06:07
Just tried the snes9x emulator and it works fine in full screen after you set it once. I have vista32.
- lestat1977uk - 2009-04-18 14:47
What other emulators have people got working, i still only have success in windowed mode only!
Really need some help

i just tried Snes9x and i get a direct draw error
- zosky - 2009-04-19 08:05
leo - the script is awsome, ( but not perfect )
as you already know - the old drive letters cause XBMC to crash (on my kubuntu 8.10 / xbmc SVN:18324). there's a news article on the homepage about the speciall:// paths and the changes you need to do as a script maintainer. i hope you can make this minor update soon . ( or at minimum note this as an install step )
also, since special char's (!'#"<space>) cause the launcher grief
... i found a script to "fix" my file names.
i then wrote a small script (hooked into gamefaq.com) to grab covers for all my files & update launcher.xml
before loading in all the roms & covers, i had to obviously find the best emu's for each platform & configure, ( props to the ubuntu gaming community for some good documentation )
all in all, it takes a serious amount of effort to setup launcher however i still recommend this hands down. imagine having 10 consoles and all their cartridges + the ~20 controls & a seriously complex A/V setup.
with launcher & a few xbmc boxes in my house
i can save in the living room and continue in bed
thanks for all the great work!!!

I would also very much like that script.
If you do decide to share it, thanks in advance for your work! Since the native games library project is currently on hold, this would make a great substitution.

Have you made sure that you're using the manufacturer's drivers for your video card and not the windows-provided ones?

i will give it a try, will post back
- lestat1977uk - 2009-04-20 03:42
Ok changed drivers and yep it launches but its behind the XBMC, i can hear it but no video, can we do something to make xbmc minimise??

rausch101 Wrote:I would also very much like that script. If you do decide to share it, thanks in advance for your work! Since the native games library project is currently on hold, this would make a great substitution.
thanks for the interest. i wrote this to introduce some automation into the task of finding covers for my rather large rom collection. it will not do everything for you (& i hope someday it will). but for now, it will make it somewhat easier then searching 1 by 1 inside XBMC ... there are still a few manual steps involved, but most of the heavy lifting is done by the script
let me start off by saying i am a noob! i can not script my way out of a paper bag without O'Reilly's Learning bash 2nd edition in hand. to be perfectly blunt; i am a graphic designer & a project manager not a code monkey!
i am not responsible if anything goes wrong; this script can break your car, cause bankruptcy, and in rare cases - you may go blind. use at your own risk
first. you MUST NOT have special chars in your ROM names. launcher & this script will not work if roms have <space> ! ' " + / \ ... ... ... hit google for this. case in point (but use caution, i have not tried this one)
and finally ... launcher.setup.sh
if you dont know what to do with this,
then, v0.01a its not for you. sorry
i'll be moving next weekend. so i have to pack, shop, paint... all that fun stuff
it will most likly be a couple of weeks before i can spend some beefing it up
but im still open to feedback & suggestions
hopefully some1 with more exp can do this properly
- digitalhigh - 2009-04-20 15:08
Bummer dude...I thought you meant you wrote a script that operates in XBMC, not 'nix.
Looks like I've finally gotta get a copy of VS.net so I can convert this .sh into a working Win32 app.

slippy Wrote:So with this plugin I can run mozilla firefox, does it work flawlessly with flash as well?
I am actually having problems with this(running Linux+VDPAU). If I run ICEWM/Firefox (or any Window manager) stand-alone my system can play Hulu HD flash just fine. However when I run from launcher it is extremely slow running at like 2 frames per second.
Any ideas?

Email App Not Scaling all emails
I just moved to the Droid MAXX with 4.4 from a Droid Razr Maxx with 4.1. One thing I noticed with my exchange email under the Email app is that not all the emails scale to the screen. Some look normal and other are very small. When I pinch and zoom in to the normal size, it scales. I didn't have this issue with older phone.
Any thoughts?

For many people, the name Buddha conjures up the image of a statue – a shirtless monk with a fat belly that you rub for good luck. Although I had a bit more of an understanding than that, when I got a new book featuring just such a Buddha statue on its cover with the title Buddha or Bust: In Search of Meaning, Happiness and the Man Who Found Them All, I somehow expected a rollicking road trip full of adventure and one-of-a-kind characters.
While the book has its share of adventure and characters, it's hardly On The Road or a wild Hunter S. Thompson ride. Instead, it's one man's round-the-world report on the current state of Buddhism and how it has adapted within many different political environments and cultural changes. If that doesn't quite fit the image I'd created in my head, the book still took me places I'll never go and taught me things that most people will never know. As far as I'm concerned, that's a book worth reading.
Buddha or Bust started as a National Geographic magazine article and blossomed into a full-length book. The author, Perry Garfinkel, is an American who has been a practicing Buddhist for many decades, so he can talk knowledgably on the subject while still making it easy for the layman to keep up.
Garfinkel's plan was to loosely follow the path of the original Buddha, Siddhartha Gautama, who gave up his princehood at the age of 29 (as well as leaving his wife and child) to take the ultimate "finding himself" trek, a six-year odyssey that eventually led to enlightenment under the famous bodhi tree.
(By the way, that fat, laughing Buddha that so many of us know is not "the" Buddha but a later monk whose benevolent personality gave him the reputation as one who could bring happiness and good luck to others. Sort of a Buddhist Santa Claus.)
Because the original Buddha's path is not completely pinned down, and because Garfinkel doesn't have an unlimited budget from National Geographic, he has to make some concessions, and his travels aren't quite chronological – some don't trace the Buddha's path at all. Indeed, Garfinkel starts at, of all places, the Nazi death camp Auschwitz. You can find out why for yourself if you read the book, but it does make for a powerful beginning.
Much of Garfinkel's trip is in the steps of the Buddha, however, and he is in turns inspired by and disappointed in what he finds. Many of the famous Buddha sites are, predictably, tourist traps. On the other hand, Garfinkel finds in many places "engaged" Buddhism, meaning the local Buddhist leaders aren't just meditating; they're out trying to make positive changes in their countries and/or local communities. Ironically, many of the international Buddhist leaders he meets confide that they've learned much from Buddhists in the United States, a perhaps surprising cross-pollination in that Westerners are often stereotyped as practicing the "lite" version of Eastern religions.
Maybe the most captivating aspect of the book, from my view, was stories of the leaders and other individuals Garfinkel meets as he travels around the world. From prisoners who've embraced Buddhism behind bars to the Dalai Lama, most have trod an interesting path to where they are today. Perhaps that's appropriate, as Buddhism seems to be more about the journey than the destination.
If you have no interest in Buddhism, Buddha or Bust isn't going to provide hours of entertainment or convert you. But if you do have an interest in what it's all about, Garfinkel's trip is a neat introduction to what Buddhism is, even if what it is might be different in different parts of the world.Powered by Sidelines

The U.S. Supreme Court's decision last week to hear two cases concerning the constitutionality of same-sex marriage could not have come at a time more ripe for consideration. The court lags behind the nation only half a step, with Americans growing ever more used to the idea.
It is not only public opinion polls that indicate this. On Nov. 6, three states -- Maine, Maryland and Washington -- approved gay marriage at the polls and one other, Minnesota, rejected a proposal that would have limited marriage to heterosexual couples.
Those watershed outcomes now put the Supreme Court's conservative justices on the defensive. In the political realm, the conservative complaint for well over 10 years has been one of activist judges or liberal politicians putting themselves above the democratic process and forcing gay marriage upon the citizenry. Indeed, the half dozen states that allow gay marriage did so through courts or legislators, not through referendums. Before November, gay marriage had been put to a vote of the people 32 times and had lost 32 times.
If the Supreme Court had heard the cases it has chosen to review just six months ago, the deliberations would have been overshadowed by a sense that gay marriage is at odds with the feelings of the American people.
While three states are not the whole nation, clearly the feelings of America are in flux. And as more Americans see the joy of personal freedom at work in places such as Washington state this past weekend, the less threatening the idea seems.
The court will hear two cases -- one from California that seeks to overturn a referendum that prohibited gay marriage and another from New York that challenges the constitutionality of the Federal Defense of Marriage Act and its denial of benefits to legally married gay partners.
Some parts of the country may never be comfortable with the idea of gay marriage -- and socially conservative Pennsylvania may be among them. Likewise, some justices are unlikely to be sympathetic, knowing that gay marriage would have been considered unthinkable to the Founding Fathers. But the libertarian streak of conservatism has its champion on the court in Justice Anthony Kennedy, who may turn out to be the swing vote.
History will be made or perhaps just delayed, because social change is rarely stoppable.opinion_editorials

Aamir Khan's College Comedy, 3 Idiots
A superstar for more than two decades, Aamir Khan has never been more popular than he is today, in his mid-forties: His 2008 release Ghajini quickly became the highest-grossing Indian movie of all time. So there must be something besides commercial necessity at work in Khan's determination to keep on playing mischief-making undergraduates. In writer-director Rajkumar Hirani's tuneful, enjoyable college comedy, 3 Idiots, Khan plays "Rancho," an engineering student so brilliant that he barely has to break a sweat to place first in his class. Rancho always has plenty of energy left over to wage a guerrilla war against the institution's emphasis on rote memorization—and to tweak his less-gifted classmates as humorless swots. Coming from a natural-born genius, this seems ungracious, at the very least. There's a pro forma mystery surrounding the character, and some anecdotes of early struggle, but, ultimately, Rancho is a Hindi-cinema superhero in terms of intellect if not upper-body strength, while his nemesis, a professor played as a lisping buffoon by Boman Irani, is a slapstick pushover. In the ingenious extended finale, Rancho serves as a deus ex machina guru/savior to the ordinary mortals he has befriended along the way. Hirani embraces melodramatic convention with open arms, but he is also a crafty entertainer who smoothly choreographs his overpopulated storyline.

NEW ORLEANS - the best insider tips for vacation, holiday & travel
Though severely affected by the devastating hurricane Katrina, New Orleans remains to be one of the top tourist destinations in America. Also known as the "Big Easy", this huge city hosts a number of exciting elements that's truly remarkable: Creole/Cajun cuisine, soothing jazz music, famous festivals, nearby plantation and swamps, ancient architecture, streetcars, and museums. Tourists can get here by air via the Louis Armstrong International Airport.
Millions of tourists gather every year for the well-known Mardi Gras and Jazz Fest festivals as well as other small festivals like Creole Tomato Festival, French Quarter Festival, Saint Patrick's Day, and the sponsored Essence Festival among many others. New Orleanians love celebrations, taking almost any occasion as an excuse to hold parades, live music, and parties. But contrary to the reputation that the "Big Easy" is an adult-oriented district, there are also a lot of children and family friendly attractions to visit. There's Audubon Zoo, Storyland Amusement Park, a number of museums, streetcar rides, riverboat cruises, and some historical day tour packages.
New Orleans' proximity to Gulf of Mexico is accountable for its mild and subtropical weather, making it an all-year perfect holiday destination. Its longest season is summer, from late April to beginning of October, where temperatures are usually hot and weather is fairly humid with occasional rainfalls and thunderstorms. September and October are most enjoyable, with daytime temperature averaging around 29°C. However, hurricane season overlaps summer and winter beginning around June through November. Winter is brief and mild during the months of December to February with average daytime temperature of 17°C. Occurrence of snow in New Orleans is very rare. March marks the start of spring, with long sunny intervals and regular rain showers.

Do you remember the quote, "Remember, remember the Fifth of November"?
It's a popular opening of a British rhyme in honor of Guy Fawkes Night, aka Bonfire Night, and was referenced in the 2006 film "V for Vendetta."
]]>Hugo Weaving) wearing a Guy Fawkes mask has fomented a revolution and detonated two London landmarks. He encounters the seemingly mild mannered Evey Hammond (Natalie Portman) who because an unlikely ally in challenging the government.
The acclaimed film is a fan favorite as well, not only for the excellent vocal performance by Weaving and Portman rocking a shaved head, but also the labyrinthine plot and uncertain motivations. In short, if you haven't seen "V for Vendetta," yet, we'd highly recommend renting it. Shaved head or skull cap is optional.

The following review has topics and videos that are not suitable for children. Unless you are one of the "Children" chosen to pilot an EVA.
Critic's Log: Earthdate - May 21, 2012. Review #5: Neon Genesis Evangelion: The End Of Evangelion
If you have read my review of Neon Genesis Evangelion (The TV Series) and its movie Death and Rebirth, Well this is it. This is the big one. This is THE END OF EVANGELION.
This is the movie that either replaces the ending entirely, it can also be viewed as an alternate ending, and it can also be viewed alongside the final 2 episodes of the show, which I pretend it doesn't exist. This was a highly anticipated anime feature film for its time and the experience is unforgettable. Either you were mesmerized by its visuals, or you absolutely loathed its Artistic approach. Either way, this is a love/hate type of series. Here is The End of Evangelion.
Third Impact has been prevented and the planet is saved. NERV unexpectedly finds itself under attack. Gendo starts to set up his main goal, and SEELE launches a massive raid towards Tokyo-3 in order to conclude their main goal at any cost. NERV must now fight its most fearsome opponent: Humanity itself.
I apologize if this is slightly spoilerific, but that was just a little plot summary for this review concerning this movie. If there's anything I should warn you about, there is an off-screen masturbation scene right in the first 2 or 3 minutes of the film.
Congratulations Anno-san! You just disturbed your viewers in the first couple of minutes of the film.
To be technical. This is a Gainax production and they really made quite the impression for most people. The first half is very good. The spectacular action scenes present from the TV show go full force and all out in this first half. Asuka rising from the lake was the most epic action scene in the series. This leads into a gut wrenching twist of events during the last 10 minutes of the first half and hell is starting to break loose. The second half starts out nicely until Shinji gives up. After Shinji gives up, we are given philosophical, metaphorical, artistic, and ambiguous imagery and dialogue for the next 10 minutes until Third Impact begins. The human race appears to be raptured and then we get a glimpse of a really odd but interesting live-action scene of the film, I kind of understand the reason for the live-action clip but the meaning is a bit ambiguous. After the live-action scene, we finally start seeing the series wrap up into a somewhat interesting set up for the final scene.
If you wonder why I am not mentioning much detail about all this. Because this is another mindboggling mind frag ending filled in with this philosophical psychological metaphorical mindboggling IMAGERY that is a bit hard to decipher which makes this ending a bit ambiguous just like the TV show's ending, but more visual. The Final Scene is both hard to accept and is ambiguous. Shinji and Asuka are the only ones left in the world (how Asuka came back is hinted a little bit before the final scene, but still confusing) Shinji decides to strangle Asuka and then he starts breaking down, and that is how Neon Genesis Evangelion ends. The ending sure has a lot to chew on, but I can't say the second half's story isn't much since all the imagery makes the story hard to analyze.
The animation in this movie is a huge upgrade to the show. It looks twice as better than the show and the obvious reason is that the movie has a bigger budget than the TV show (which had a hard time keeping up with the budget). It is done well for its time, and the action scenes are spectacular in this movie. Gainax really went balls to the wall in 1997 and this movie proved it by then.
The live action scene was a ballsy approach, but I don't know how that would help the movie in any means.
When it comes to voice acting, The Japanese cast goes all out here. They have reached their peak with the characters in this movie. The English dub is nowhere at the same level. The dub is below hit and miss than the TV Show. I have watched this movie both dubbed and subtitled. I did not enjoy the dubbed version that much.
I also have something technical to bring up in this movie regarding language tracks, there is a cartoonish sound effect added in the dub in some scenes. It added nothing to the movie and it felt out of place. ADR Director Amanda Winn-Lee (who was the voice of Rei in the Original series and this movie) thought it would be a good idea to add this cartoonish sound effect, I could not accept this at all. If you want to know what sound effect I'm talking about, find the scene where Misato kills a JSSDF soldier in the first half of the movie. Also, some sound effects that came from the Evangelions also are different in the dub. Fine by me... But Manga Entertainment sure had the balls to include all that in the 5.1 Japanese audio track and leave the Stereo 2.0 Track with the original sound effects intact with no additions so forth. I am not kidding, compare the 5.1 and 2.0 Japanese tracks and hear it for yourself. I was a bit cheated by Manga Entertainment with their treatment of this movie.
The music by Shiro Sagisu is haunting and mesmerizing on most notes. It really fit the atmosphere of the movie. Komm, Susser Todd was a really interesting one to hear, because when the world starts, we hear a happy sounding catchy tune that is about suicide. The music is great during its first half and great during its mindfuck of a second half.
Neon Genesis Evangelion: The End Of Evangelion was availiable by Manga Entertainment and is out of print.
With all that said, The End of Evangelion is a visual feast. But it is not everyone's cup of tea. There are some things to like and some things not to like. When it comes to Evangelion. It is an anime that gives you a kind of feeling that can go in different ways, some will say it is awesome, some would say it is brilliant. Some people will love it, some people will hate it. All I can say is that this anime is ambitious and unique. It is ambitious that it puts in Action, Philosophy, Psychological intrigue, religious symbolism, and metaphors. It is unique that they tie in these elements and put them in with the relationships of these characters. This show is not all about giant robots, or action. It's about these characters that go through a lot of things and the show really displays that humans are fragile, whether it's mentally or physically. This is probably a safe bet that that is series' biggest strength, its weakness is probably that it has too much ambition. Is this an anime that will interest you into a psychology class? Maybe. Is this anime the greatest ever made? Not at all, I don't think it is worthy of being graded a 10 out of 10. Is this anime overrated? Yes, but I don't think it's terrible. I like it. I have already said this in my review of the TV show. This was my real gateway to anime, Pokémon was the first, but that was an Americanized version and I don't think it really counts much. This pretty much wraps up my trilogy of reviews of the Classic Neon Genesis Evangelion series from The TV show to the movie conclusion. I will review the remakes sometime in the future.
I give Neon Genesis Evangelion: The End of Evangelion a 8.6 out of 10. It is VERY GOOD!

Getting there, around and away
Use the quicklinks below to jump to the desired section regarding transport in and around Ko Muk.
A number of travel offices near the train station in Trang town sell all-in minibus/boat transfers to Ko Muk. Refer to the Trang transport section for info on getting there and onward transport overland. All prices listed here are per person.
To/from Trang
All year round, a minibus departs the train station area in Trang at 11:30 and connects to the local ferry for Ko Muk at Kuan Thung Khu pier, costing 250 baht all up. If you're coming to the pier on your own, the local ferry departs at 13:00 and costs 100 baht. The ferry disembarks at the main pier off Ao Kham on Ko Muk, where you can catch a sidecar motorbike taxi to Haad Farang for 50 baht per person. The ferry returns to Kuan Thung Khu and a waiting Trang-bound minibus at 08:00.
In high season (roughly November to April), a minibus departs Trang at 11:00 and connects to a shared longtail boat, also at Kuan Thung Khu, for 350 baht all up. Depending on demand, additional transfers may depart Trang at 09:00 and 16:00. These boats disembark directly on the sand at Haad Farang, returning to Kuan Thung Khu at 09:00 (with later options dependent on demand).
A private transfer between Trang town and Ko Muk will cost 1,400 baht total (per group, not per person). Private longtail boats to Ko Muk can also be arranged at Pakmeng Beach for around 1,500 baht.
Other islands
From November to March 31 (perhaps into April for Tigerline and Petpailin), four different boat companies connect Ko Muk directly to a number of other islands. Tickets can be booked through resorts and travel agents on Ko Muk; whoever sells you the ticket will need to call ahead to tell your boat of choice to stop here, so it's best to give them prior notice. The speedboats pick up at Haad Farang while the larger ferries dock at the main pier off Ao Kham.
Heading north, the Bundhaya and Satun Pakbara speedboats pick up on Muk at 11:00 and reach Ko Ngai at 11:30 for 350 baht; and Ko Lanta at 12:00 for 900 baht. Passengers heading to Ko Phi Phi, Phuket, Ko Jum and Krabi can make a transfer on Lanta.
The cheaper/slower Petpailin ferry also runs north to Lanta, picking up on Muk around 11:30. This option can include a direct transfer to Ko Phi Phi or Phuket.
Heading south, speedboats pick up on Muk at 11:30 and reach Ko Kradan at 11:45 for 300 baht (Satun Pakbara only); Ko Bulon Lae at 12:30 for 900 baht; and Ko Lipe at 13:30 for 1,400 baht.
Speedboats to Ko Muk depart Ko Lipe at 09:00; Ko Bulon Lae at 10:00; Ko Lanta at 10:30; Ko Kradan at 10:45; and Ko Ngai at 11:00. The Petpailin slow boat runs to Ko Muk from Ko Ngai at 09:30, stopping at Ko Kradan en route.
A bit slower/cheaper than the speedboats, the Tigerline ferry connects Ko Muk directly to Ko Phi Phi, Phuket, Hat Yao pier in Trang, and Langkawi island in Malaysia, plus all of the other islands listed above except Ko Bulon Lae. The southbound boat departs Phuket at 08:00 and picks up on Ko Muk at 12:00, while the northbound boat departs Langkawi at 09:00 and picks up on Muk at 13:00. More info and booking at www.tigerlinetravel.com.
You can also take a private longtail boat to Ko Kradan or Ko Ngai for around 800 baht from Haad Farang, slightly more from Ao Kham. Expect to pay around 2,500 baht for a private longtail to Ko Libong. As with Ko Sukorn, Libong is most often reached via a cheaper minibus/ferry transfer from Trang town.
It's a pleasant 20-minute walk between Ao Kham and Haad Farang. At either beach, sidecar motorbike taxis will cruise you across the island for 50 baht per person.
Mountain bikes can be rented at Charlie Resort for 200 baht a day, while regular pushbikes are available in the main village for 100 baht (they can be delivered if you ask your resort to phone ahead).
Motorbikes can be rented at Lucky Shop in the main village for 250 baht a day, and Mr Jak (089 874 6644) will deliver if you phone him in advance. Charlie Resort rents motorbikes for 400 baht a day.

Northampton are embroiled in local politics over the planned expansion of their stadium, but while their chairman Keith Barwell mocked the "Fib Dems" in his programme notes, the director of rugby, Jim Mallinder, faced the home truths of only a fourth defeat at Franklin's Gardens since March 2007. "It's not a case of alarm bells ringing," said Mallinder. "You've just got to be accurate and perform every time you go out on the field."
This time last year the then Premiership leaders, Saracens, had 38 points from 10 matches – the same as Northampton now – before they lost to London Irish and Leicester, and eventually missed out on a home semi-final. A defeat for Mallinder's men at Leicester next Saturday would raise fears of a similar fate. The likes of Courtney Lawes and Soane Tonga'uiha looked a half-beat off the pace; victims, perhaps – and ironically – of a heavy workload in the first half of the season interrupted by the postponement of the Boxing Day fixture at Gloucester.
Quins were justified in their belief they could force penalties out of the Saints at the breakdown. Jordan Turner-Hall at centre and Chris Robshaw in the back row relished the physical confrontation. Losing two men to the sin-bin in the minute before half-time was not part of the plan, but the visitors emerged from the 10 minutes they were short with the loss of only seven points to a penalty try converted by Steve Myler. During the "power-play" period of 15 men versus 13, Northampton wasted a couple of great positions. An overlap went unused by Lawes, while at a scrum near the Quins 22, Northampton's eight men were penalised for engaging early against their opponents' six.
Danny Care's charge-down try levelled the scores at 10-10 after 52 minutes, and Nick Evans' second and third penalties to one in reply by Shane Geraghty, helped complete the job. Ugo Monye, the Quins wing in his second match back after 16 weeks out with a toe injury, ranked this win with the famous Heineken Cup victories over Stade Français in 2008. "There's a lot of young boys in our team but we didn't look too flustered when we went down to 13 men," said Monye.
