The only thing that south zone duck hunters can do to tweak their season is
Take 3 days of the early season and tack that onto the back half of the second segment. What this would do is afford South zone duck hunters the Opportunity to Open on a week end and close the season on a weekend. Giving south zone duck hunters an added week end to hunt ducks.
If that sounds like a good thing, south zone duck hunters better bring that issue up at the ICN meeting tomorrow. The same could happen in the 3rd zone or Mo. River Zone.
Right now that's about all I can write as I am bust ass tired.
Oh and the USFWS has thrown up the possibility of getting 5 to 9 days of Early Teal season or teal only season.
Oh and by Friday your states New Waterfowl Biologist will be hired or known.
Time to go tear up my pillow.

15000W Autoranging System DC Power Supply, 750V, 60A, 1208VAC
Manufacturer's part number :
Description :
The Keysight Technologies N8935A Series provides 5 kW, 10 kW, and 15 kW autoranging, single-output programmable DC power for ATE applications that require just the right amount of performance at just the right price. The N8935A Series power supplies' autoranging output characteristic enables unprecedented flexibility by offering a wide range of voltage and current combinations at full power. Power supplies with "rectangular," or traditional, output characteristics provide full power at only one voltage and current combination. Just one N8935A does the job of multiple power supplies. It's like having many power supplies in one!
The N8935A Series provides stable output power, built-in voltage and current measurements, and autoranging output voltage and current from 80 V to 1500 V and 10 A to 510 A. These supplies offer many system-ready features like multiple standard I/O interfaces to simplify and accelerate test-system development and compact 3U design to save rack space. If more power is required, easily parallel multiple N8935A units to create "one" power supply with >100 kW of total output power. The built-in master/slave control enables programming as if it's just one big power supply; no need to program each supply individually.
Technical Data :
Quote and availability
- Voltage: 0 to 750 V
- Current: 0 to 60 A
- Power: 15000 W
- AC input Voltage range: 187 - 240 VAC
- Programming Voltage Accuracy: 0.1% of full-scale
- Programming Current Accuracy: 0.2% of full-scale

|Topic Review (Newest First)
The TC I used behind the 455 w/6X-4 heads I had in a '81 Camaro (cam 236º @ 0.050" lift, 108º LSA, 0.500" lift) flash stalled at 2800 RPM and was a great match to the engine- which had a bad-A idle and the balls to back it up.
The cam was a single pattern. To get around this, I used Rhodes lifters on the intake side only. I had planned to use 1.65 ratio rockers on the exhaust side, but it ran so good like it was that I never bothered.
A 455 built like this would pull your Bonny down the track in the low/mid 13's (providing you had tires that would allow it to hook up), it would sound great and would run on 89 octane. I used a small Holley 4777 650 cfm double pumper w/a Performer intake. Mileage wasn't something I worried about.
In your heavier car I'd suggest a Q-jet or 3310 Holley 750 cfm vacuum secondary carb on a Performer (lighter than stock but no more HP) or an RPM intake. Recurve a HEI distributor to match the combo and a set of 4-tube long tube headers and a limited slip diff.
Odds and ends:
Hopefully you have a TH400 tranny. It should be fresh and have the shifts firmed up and the 1-2 shift valve mod done to allow first gear to be held w/o it upshifting by itself (easy to do). And a 34 element sprag installed. Replace the U-joints if there is any question as to their condition and install a driveshaft loop.
I built a 455 last year and with a small Comp hydraulic roller, Butler ported heads, and a crank kit from Butler it cost me about $4200. It wasnt the least expensive way to go, but I wanted the roller to make cam swaps easier. You could duplicate it with a Summit 2801 or 2802, stock but rebuilt heads, and forged rods from Mr Pbody or some Tomahawk rods and be right at $3k including machine work. Mr Pbody does great work, have never heard anything bad about his engines. I think fuel choice is the only thing he and I disagree on.
As for the converter, you can go into almost any transmission shop and order a Th400 high stall for less than $200, I used to get them between $90 and $140. That converter stalls between 1900 and 2200, which is all a 400 or 455 street engine needs. Any more than that and you are wasting rpm and torque you could be using to move the car. I ran 11s with one of those in a 79 Formula with a 455, they are often referred to as an L88 converter. The reason you want to run a small stall like this is to keep the car from pushing through stop lights with an up sized cam. It will drive like a stock one, but allow more wiggle room than a 1500 stall converter would. The 2801 wont need much stall, but a mild one is not going to hurt anything and will probably help it be more fun to drive.
I would have the stock crank turned, add some Tomahawk rods, forged pistons, get it all balanced, then run a stock 6X head with the 2801 cam in your Bonneville. You can do that with either the 400 or 455 and they will pull your boat around easily. Machine work should be right around $1000 for a local shop to do the work, give or take a bit. Port the heads and the 2802 will be lots of fun smoking the tires. The roller cam I am running is about the same size as the 2801, and it has a very nice idle. Simple, inexpensive, and effective.
I'm a bit dense but I am getting the impression that regardless of what I do with this, or an alternate engine is going to require a torque converter at some point?
I guess all I am looking for is a bit more go. Maybe change to d port heads from butler and call it good? Not much power gains though. I suppose this would give me the sound, not the idle but it may enhance the flowmaster super 44's and the h pipe I have?
I have to totally agree with Mr. P Body on this. I would avoid an engine from E Bay. Even buying a usable core can be questionable.
Evenif there is a problem and the company will warranty it,you are stuck with the freight.That can cost a lot.
Plenty of reputable places to get an engine built.Butler performance in Leoma tenn. Central Virginia Machine Service in Burkeville Virginia.
It pays to shop around.
There are plenty of pontiac engines out there. I have 2 I am using, and I am looking at 2 more 400 s. One 68 and a 73. Both are complete just pulled. Both need "freshened up" as the junk yard man says. He is usually straight with me. I garantee I would do more than just "freshen" one up.LOL
|Mr. P-Body
A couple of red flags. Edelbrock carbs are less than desirable, IMO. We've seen a lot of tuning issues, particularly on larger engines. It also lists a "single pattern" camshaft, completely unacceptable for a Pontiac. Needs at least 6 more degrees of exhaust duration. Eagle stroker "kits" use H-beam rods (may be a typo) not I-beams. The only real increase in strength over the factory stuff is in the connecting rods. Pontiac cranks are as good or better than most others of the era (Eagle's casting IS the best aftermarket casting "out there").
There is no name of the company that is building these. E-Bay is a BAD idea for a "no name" rebuild.
That is a very good deal and should be plenty strong for a street/strip engine, but I still recommend that the rotating assembly be balanced. If you decide to order it, ask how much additional charge to have it balanced.
From an ebay listing: Worth considering?
Pontiac 400/461 stroker motor 420hp , READY TO RUN!! No need to track down all the components necessary to complete the engine, quality parts are installed, and adjusted for easy start-up and smooth performance. An Edelbrock 750cfm carburator with electric choke is supplied, for easy cold weather starting, along with a 50,000 volt HEI distributor - 8mm wires and plugs. A NEW timing cover-water pump-balancer-aluminum valley pan-chrome center hole valvecovers are installed, topped with a low profile Professional Products/ProComp intake manifold.
The block recieves the following machining: Bore and hone- deck gasket surface for positive gasket retention. The rotating assembly is by EAGLE, featuring a cast steel 4.25" stroke crankshaft, with 6.800" long forged I-beam rods and Mahle forged pistons. A TREMENDOUS increase in bottom end strength, over the OEM Pontiac parts!!
The heads recieve a 3-angle valvejob with gasket surface milled, assembled with matching new springs and positive valve seals. The Stage II camshaft used has specs (224`@.050" with .470" lift on 110`LSA), providing a LOPING sound in the the exhaust, letting everyone know there is something special under the hood!
This engine is BUILT TO ORDER, with several blocks ready to build, assembly takes only 3-4 weeks to complete, AFTER recieving payment thru PayPal or U.S.Post office money orders.. The engine will be painted the color you choose, with restoration quality finish and looks GREAT under the hood!! Shipping is quoted, please give your city and zip code, for accurate shipping cost!!! This motor carries a 90 day, parts and workmanship guarantee, after start-up. $3995
|Again I thank you all for your advice. It's nice to bounce ideas off of people that know what they are talking about. As I run financial numbers in my head I am thinking that a 455 build could run into about 4 grand. I would have to get the heads and block machined...around 1800-2000? Then cam, pistons etc...probably another2k? That being said what about this engine on eBay? I have time to work things out finaancially...and yes Inwould have to have someone assemble the parts for me so not much "satisfaction" in building an engine...again this is only an idea...post shortly.
Here is a cam for your consideration; Summit Racing SUM-2801 - Summit Racing® Camshafts - Overview - SummitRacing.com
If you want more duration you can get a 2802 cam. Summit offerers these in kits with lifters also.
A Pontiac 068 cam would also work.
That car would do great with the 455 in it and along w/the 6X heads- especially if they're the 6X-4 heads (the "dash-4" is a "secondary" identifier, explained here). The 6X-4 heads have a smaller combustion chamber so the compression w/a 455 will be better than if you were to use a 455 head w/their larger chambers.
I agree a single 4 bbl like the Q-jet will work great- but if you're bound to put dual fours on it, go for it- just be prepared for the tuning and possible loss of performance. Get rid of the points distributor. I like and use the GM HEI but the HEI won't fit using some dual four intakes. You can use a points eliminator kit in the stock points-type distributor if it's in good shape.
If it was me, I'd drive it w/the 400 until the 455 was built. And while accumulating the parts to do the 455, I would be doing some heavy researching of the Pontiac engine in general. It's not a Chebby, so much of what you read won't apply to the Pontiac.
Some info to get you started:
• Pontiac info and sites
• Pontiac V8 engine
|Mr. P-Body
Agreed with LATECH. You would HATE that cam. As an engine builder and been onvolved in thousands of "projects" over the years, many times, one's "eyes" are "bigger" than their stomach. Rumpy-rump engines SOUND cool, but are a pain to operate.
A Bonneville is a classy "dark sider". That's what Pontiac people use to refer to the "big" cars. it is a TANK compared to the Pontiac "performance" cars of the era (GTO, Catalina, "2+2", Ventura). The Bonny has a longer wheelbase than Catalina. A nice "cruiser" is the best thing to do with the Bonny, IMO.
If you're REALLY interested in pumping up the Poncho, get Jim Hand's "How to Build Max-performance Pontiac V8s" published by SA Designs. Get educated on the strengths and weaknesses of the Pontiac.
The 400 block is physically stronger than the 455 block. The "stroker" kits make a much ore effective engine than a "built" 455. Cylinder head casting numbers are among the most imnportant pieces of information you can provide. Compression is controlled by the chamber volume in a Pontiac, not the piston configuration.
|A good sounding car can be easy. Decent headers and a dual exhaust with a crossover pipe. Heat crossovers in the heads should be blocked(recommended)
dual quads and lopey idle does not make the car fast or fun to drive.I mean no insults but,if you are not a gear head dont use 2 carbs. If you want the look and the fun first,consider hiring someone to do the work.
I have an idea that might give you the cool factor you want. You will have to do the research yourself,,,,
1984 corvette had what looked like dual 4s but was actually dual fuel injection(2 throttle bodies) edelbrock makes a conversion where fuel injectors are drilled and tapped in the individual runners and the throttle bodies are converted to dry,,,air control only.
you could do this same thing except convert the low rise dual 4 intake for a pontiac and use the corvette style bodies ( look like carbs under an air cleaner).Talk to latech about a "small" camshaft for sound,use full 3 inch exhaust and enjoy driving a modern ish fuel injected cool sounding car that performs well.
If you want serious power,then you will need more items.imo,I think thats enough for a daily driver and the fi will perk up the low end
Can finally afford to do a few mods...the engine is bone stock 400...no idea on heads or year 72-76 from some donor pontiac in Alaska.
will be a daily driver and family car and very basic horsing around in... [Quote]
The least exspensive route would be a Comp Cams XE series cam. There has been a little contraversy about them in the past concerning wear and failure, but if you follow the break in procedure you shouldnt have any problems.
If it were me , I would run a Comp cams XE 262 in your 5000 LB tuna boat.
Stock compression ratio is 8.0 to 1 if you have the # 7J2,7K3, or 4X heads. If you have a 1973 or later engine it will have lower compression heads and some power making capability will be lost.
First thing to do is to ID the motor you want to run. Get year date code from back by the distributor.Also engine casting number. Then get the numbers from the heads.the number will be on the top of the center 2 exhaust ports.
Seeing that you have a 455 in bare form, that would be your best bet to build.
First, you would be able to keep the 400 you have as a runnig spare, and if you are going to spend money to build an engine, dont take apart a perfectly good running engine, build a non runner, end up with 2 engines.
Also the 455 will make better power for the street with your heavy sled. There is no replacement for displacement.
Quadrajet carbs and stock pontiac intakes work real good for a street build, and would be an attribute to your 455 build.
If it were me, I would build the 455.
|Wow! Thanks to all of you for your input! Maybe the way to go is to build the 455 block that I have with 6x heads. On rethingking this thing and being honest with myself, I just want dual quads and a lopey idle. If the above will accomplish this then there is a good starting point. If other options are available then please let me know. I am open to all suggestions and trying to keep costs down...who isn't?

|Typically we spend most of the real estate on this blog talking about cloud computing and specifically, IBM Workload Deployer. However, I am hoping that this week you permit me to take a bit of a detour to discuss a very important new announcement. Last week, IBM announced the early availability of the WebSphere Application Server v8.5 Alpha. In all fairness, your response may be 'You guys always have WAS Alphas. Why should I care about this one?' I have two words for you: Liberty Profile.
|Based on my own experience in the IBM labs and my conversations with numerous enterprise developers out there, I think I understand many of the needs to create an efficient development environment. Developers need tools and runtimes that are lightweight, easy to install, simple to configure, and fast to recycle or otherwise update. Enhancements in our WebSphere Application Server v8.0 took many of these concerns head on with features such as directory-based install and drastically improved server startup times. The new v8.5 Alpha, and specifically the Liberty Profile, extend this developer focus even further.
|The Liberty Profile is a lightweight, fast, and easy to use application runtime that you can download for free by visiting the WASdev community site. The design of the runtime is best described as fit-for-purpose and you configure it by selectively enabling and disabling features based on application need. For example, you may enable the servlet, JPA, and JSP features, or you may decide you only need to enable the servlet feature of the runtime. It is completely up to you! In addition to this innovative new runtime, the WebSphere Application Server v8.5 Alpha also includes free tools for Eclipse. These tools make it simple to create Liberty Profile server instances, start server instances, stop server instances, install applications, and remove applications. In fact, you can do all of this and even download and install the WebSphere Application Server v8.5 Alpha without ever leaving your Eclipse workspace! Check out the demonstration below to see an example of installing and using the new Alpha.
|I really hope that you will participate in the new WebSphere Application Server v8.5 Alpha. The setup process that includes both tools and runtime will take just a few minutes of your time, and leaves but a small footprint on your machine (the Liberty Profile of the WAS v8.5 Alpha is only ~50 MB unzipped). In the meantime, you can find more information about the Alpha on the WASdev site or in the new Information Center. Finally, don't forget to join in on the conversation on the WASdev forum!

Enhancing Development & Test
DKA 0600026VJ2 Tags:  cloud_computing development 3,364 Views
Much of the focus on cloud computing to date revolves around the ways in which cloud computing delivers significant administrative and operational benefits. After all, the more dynamic, autonomic capabilities promised by cloud could go a long way in relieving some of the burden in managing large, complex IT infrastructure operations. Sometimes lost in the cloud computing benefits discussion is how cloud computing enhances development and test groups in an enterprise. I can think of five different ways in which cloud computing strengthens development and test groups:
1) Self-service capability: A defining characteristic of cloud computing solutions is a self-service capability that allows users to commission and decommission computing resources as appropriate. In development and test shops, this means users can directly procure the resources they need to complete their tasks without going through lengthy, manually-driven procurement chains. This results in a significantly shortened procurement period, and it means developers and testers can quickly get to the task at hand.
2) Resource availability: Resource sprawl within IT shops, a very common occurrence, leads to resource deficiencies that are sometimes a problem for enterprise developers and testers. Tasks like testing massive configurations and performing intensive load tests become increasingly difficult as it is hard to harness enough resources to get the job done. Cloud computing, through intelligent virtualization, usage tracking, and more, enables this scattered resource pool to be viewed and utilized as a single logical entity. Resources can be doled out as needed, and intense tasks become achievable without extensive setup or procurement periods.
3) Environmental fidelity: From the time a software application or service leaves a developer's hands to the time it reaches production, quite a few things about its environment may be changed, often times unbeknownst to the developer. The test and operation teams may have different conventions and configurations than development teams, and this can lead to unintended application behavior and delays in service delivery. Cloud computing offers a potential solution to this problem in the form of the increasingly popular templatized solution stack. These solution stacks are pre-built, ready to deploy configurations, which include the application and entire environment down to the operating system. This stack can be captured as some sort of image (i.e. OVF image, Amazon Machine Image, etc.), and passed off between each team along the delivery cycle. Teams downstream from development see the exact environment in which the application was designed and unit tested, and they can balance needed changes to that environment against a known, working solution.
4) Hosted tools: Though possibly not yet standard operating procedure, one can look at the wave of SaaS offerings and make a reasonable assumption that more and more development and test tools will be moving in that direction as well. Why not? Putting aside the technical challenges of hosting something like a code editor on a network, the benefits of centrally hosting these types of tools are clear. Developers and testers no longer have to worry with installing, configuring, running, or maintaining these enabling tools on their own machines. Instead, they can log into the tools from any machine with a network connection and get work done.
5) Increased focus: This benefit is a culmination of all of the above benefits. By easing the process to acquire resources, making more resources available, ensuring configuration integrity, and removing the burden of maintaining tools, developers and testers are left to focus on their core jobs. The operational and administrative portions of their job are significantly reduced through cloud computing solutions. As a result, organizations are in a position to benefit from more developer innovation, increased test quality and coverage, and more.
The above five ideas illustrate that cloud computing can indeed enhance development and test efforts just as they boost administrative and operational tasks. Development and test teams that understand the benefits they can derive from cloud computing are likely to be proactive in advocating its use. For the cloud computing industry, increasing adoption by development and test groups could lead to widespread grassroots movements that further spread the use of cloud computing throughout enterprises.

Sandboxes in the cloud
DKA 0600026VJ2 Tags:  development cloud_computing 4,135 Views
In my prior job at IBM, I was, on more than one occasion, reminded of the pains of dealing with software development tools. It seemed to be a constant battle to keep up with licenses, install critical fixes, and update to the latest version of whatever tool I happened to be using. Since I often worked on projects across multiple machines, I had to ensure that versions of the tool on different machines were reasonably close and that any code formatting settings were consistent across the different tool instances. On top of this, the tools were sometimes so CPU intensive that multitasking on the same machine running the tool was impossible.
All of the above pains were a direct function of the tools being installed on my local machine, so you can imagine my interest in a recent announcement by IBM signaling the launch of a pilot program offering Tools as a Service. The program, initially offered to students and faculty of selected universities, delivers hosted software development tools to developers. Users of the development tools do not install, maintain, or run the products on their local machine, instead they access them through a cloud maintained by IBM. The tools can be accessed from any machine with an internet connection, and a developer's sandbox is persisted across multiple sessions. The developer simply logs in, does work, and at some point saves his/her changes and logs out. The saved changes can be accessed at some point in the future from the same machine or an entirely different one.
This is exactly what I needed! Like many developers, I wanted to focus on writing code not maintaining a suite of tools. I for one hope this eventually extends beyond a pilot program and becomes a mainstream practice. You can read more about IBM's Tools as a Service initiative here.

Damika Martinez
Iona College women's basketball freshman Damika Martinez has turned heads around the MAAC already, as she was named the first Rookie of the Week and then continued to shine in week two of the season, aiding the Gaels to a pair of victories.
In her first game outside of the Hynes Athletic Center, Martinez finished second on the team with 13 points and six rebounds in a 66-53 victory over Bryant University. Martinez shot 5-of-11 from the field and was perfect making both shots from the line.
When the Gaels returned back to New Rochelle, Martinez was a key part of the 52-48 come-from-behind victory over Stony Brook. Her nine points and six rebounds came in to play late in the second half, when the Gaels outscored the Seawolves, 45-31 in the second stanza after trailing 17-7 at the half.

hey all.
i am currently working on an aluminium boba helmet but will be starting a set of alu chest armour.i know some folk out there have done armour in alu but i was wondering if any one has done this.(just hoping to find out if it actually works ok)
1=cutting armour out from light guage aluminium
2=dressing/hammer the edges round to give the armour a thicker look
3=pack the inside with somekind of polystyrene of similer
hopefully by packing the inside this will give the armour a more solid feel to it than having to use thick material of some kind and bear the weight.plus it may give and easier route to attaching it to suit etc .
any help on this = many thanks

I have found some interesting sources lately (references listed at the bottom) related to Linux shortcomings and flaws. The sources I refer to are not the typical bashing forum posts we all read every now and then by your typical frustrated Linux newbie or Windows/Mac fanboy, but actual, well-documented articles and presentations. I have learned a lot from them, so I wanted to discuss about this matter in general, and hopefully draw some attention to other Linux lovers about it.
EDIT: I have found that some of the entries under http://www.whylinuxsucks.org/ are not that well documented. However, there are still many interesting topics one can learn from.
To begin with, I must say I had mixed feelings when I first started reading or watching these articles or videos. I am obviously a Linux fan, and I am convinced it rocks, so it is not easy to face the fact that it may actually suck. Moreover, this is especially difficult when the authors behind the videos and articles are people you know are Linux devotees as well, and they know what they are talking about.
I guess there are several main areas most of people agree are still weak in Linux: Segregated distributions, Hardware support, Audio and video managers, fragmented packaging and applications. Let me briefly talk a bit about each.
Let's face it, there are tons of distros available in the Linux world, perhaps too many. That argument is difficult to defend, though, as the very nature of open source is that it is free for everyone to use and modify. The essence and perhaps the beauty of this concept is however making the Linux environment so complex that it is getting tangled in its own reins.
This excessive variety makes matters too complicated in many fronts. From packaging to application support, it is definitely not helping make things better for us Linux users. A good example of this issue is found within most of the most popular distributions and their makers. Canonical, Mandriva, Fedora, OpenSuSE... All of them release different versions of their distro using different desktop managers, which at the same time include different applications, etc. Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu and Edubuntu are some examples of how far Canonical has pushed this concept forward.
Potential solution
I think that some common ground should be agreed upon by the biggest distro makers, the ones that hold most of the Linux user base. That common ground would quickly become a standard that most other distros would follow. Naturally, distros not following that standard would always be welcome (after all, freedom is at the core of the Linux culture), but they would be more specific and more of a niche concept. In addition, I believe the biggest distros should simplify themselves and concentrate all their power into a single, more solid and better tested outcome. For example, I believe Canonical should drop all its distros except for Ubuntu. If they concentrated all their man power into a single version, all aspects of it would benefit from such approach. It would be better planned, designed, developed and tested, and they would be able to implement more of their targets faster.
In my opinion, this problem is twofold. On the one hand, we have the many hardware manufactures who are not interested in supporting the open source community, so they don't release their drivers. The community is then left alone trying to close the gap, and they surprisingly do many times, but ideally a more solid and complete support would definitely make sense. Having said so, to make matters worse, we have the problem discussed in the section before, which makes hardware support even more difficult. Even if a manufacturer is interested in supporting Linux, how should they go about it? Should they support Debian based distros? Red Hat based distros? Out of those, which ones exactly?
On the other hand, we have the Linux Kernel and the way it is compiled, including sections that would perhaps be better left alone. This results in strange issues, like an old version of the kernel supporting a piece of hardware which is no longer supported on the next compilation.
Potential solution
For the first problem, we can only keep pushing manufacturers so that we raise awareness about the user base in the Linux community. It is obvious that these companies will not likely support Linux unless they see a potential return of investment, but we can make them see that many people using their products would like to do so under Linux. Contact the people behind the hardware piece which is not supported for you (if any) and make sure you state your interest for Linux support.
Unifying efforts within the community would make life easier for manufacturers as well. In addition, Kernel upgrades should be managed differently, with only core components being upgraded, and others left alone for a continued period, until a meaningful update is worth the change and consequent risk.
This is a specific case related to the previous two items. Xorg is a very old implementation. It attempts to be compatible with very old video devices, while at the same time trying to support the latest cutting edge hardware. Its developers are doing a phenomenal job at it, but it clearly has its shortcomings. In fact, when a new release comes from one of the main distros, we very often see people complaining about video issues. It would be unfair to say Xorg is to blame, as this matter is heavily related to the lack of hardware support and the way the Kernel is compiled, but still there is something to it.
When it comes to audio, we have way too many implementations, and it seems each distro goes a different path. This not only makes it difficult in terms of functionality, but also for users to get some kind of consistency from one distro to another.
Potential solution
Fortunately, it seems Xorg is being completely rebuilt from scratch. I anticipate a bumpy ride when it is released, as is the case with any new solution, but eventually it will shine, I am sure. I can only encourage developers with experience in this field to join forces with the Xorg team.
As for audio, I believe we could also benefit from unity. It is nice to have choice available, but there should be a standard and then choice available for users. As Brian from the video below proposes, GStreamer would be a good way to start.
Also related to some of the topics already discussed is the packaging fragmentation plaguing the Linux world. This is always a subject of argument between RPM and DEB followers, each pointing at the weaknesses of the other.
The result is an extremely different environment for any application attempting to spread across the Linux universe. OpenOffice and Skype download sites are good examples of this problem, with many different packages available, almost one for each of the most popular distros out there. As Brian also mentions, this overly complicated approach forces developers to dedicate lots of time to packaging, when they should be improving the software they are packaging for.
Potential solution
I can hardly believe there will ever be a settlement between RPM and DEB followers. As a result, why not point the strengths of each and create a common package which benefits from them?
On this subject, I disagree with Brian for the most part. I agree that the Linux community lacks certain applications that are commonly available for Windows and Mac users, but in turn we also have many they don't. I suppose this is a matter of one's experience. When I joined the Linux world, I found everything I needed and then some, so I never had anything that was frustrating for me. I don't play games on my PC (that's what consoles are built for, right?), nor I do much video editing. I don't care about the minimal edge MS Office has got over OpenOffice either.
As far as I am concerned, I got everything I need, and for the most part, it works leaps and bounds better than it did in Windows. Songbird, Tweetdeck, Firefox, Google Chrome, OpenOffice, Brasero, K3B, Ardour, Hydrogen, Sound Converter, Virtual Box, TuxGuitar... The list goes on and on!
Potential solution
Well, like I said, while I understand where Brian is coming from, I still think the application environment in the Linux world is very healthy. We have tons of applications which rock, and it just keeps getting better. Ardour, to cite an example Brian mentions, is now getting twice as much money in terms of donations, providing a fair salary to its main developer, Paul.
The main benefit from this critical thinking is that I see the Linux community is far from resting on their laurels. We have accomplished A LOT, but it is great to see we are eager to push the envelope further. I firmly believe one learns and improves more when there are problems left to be solved.
In my honest opinion, Linux is a very young operating system. It is slowly but surely improving year after year, and I am sure it will continue down that path. Just a few years ago we were all experiencing problems with modems and USB devices, and for the most part those issues are long gone now.
As long as we identify what is missing (which clearly we have by judging from these sources), there will be a target for the community moving forward. In other words, I believe there is a shiny future for the Linux desktop. We just have to be patient and keep adding our two cents.
Many interesting discussions about this matter HERE

text: Listening to Experts The Massachusetts Teachers Association, American Federation of Teachers Massachusetts and Massachusetts 2020 released a new policy report May 5 -- National Teacher Day -- that identifies time as the single most important teaching condition for promoting learning and highlights the impact the state's Expanded Learning Time Initiative is having on teachers and students. The report, Listening to Experts, was released at a Statehouse event hosted by Rep. Martha Walz and Sen. Robert O'Leary, co-chairs of the Joint Committee on Education. The ELT Initiative has enabled 26 schools in 12 communities across the Commonwealth to add 300 hours to their school year to provide enrichment, academics and time for teachers to collaborate. According to the Massachusetts Teaching, Learning and Leading Initiative, teachers identified adequate time as the most important condition needed for them to be successful. However, four out of 10 said they do not have enough time to teach the curriculum. Teachers in the ELT schools were 50 percent more likely to say they do have adequate time during the day. In her closing address to the audience, MTA President Anne Wass noted the importance of listening to teachers when considering education innovation: "As policymakers at the federal and state level are looking at innovation, I hope they pay attention to an innovation that the teachers support. ELT is an innovation that can be replicated across the country quickly and easily and should be expanded here in the Commonwealth." Listening to Experts report

A report from the United States Justice Department indicates that among the nation's 1.1 million people on the watch list for suspected terrorists there is a 35% probability that incorrect names are on the list. The report also shows that large portions of the list are governed by no formal processes for updating or removing names. Get your name on the list and the probability is it remains despite the fact someone made a mistake in placing it on the list. According to the American Civil Liberties Union, "the audit confirms that the nation's watchlist is massively broken." The report most probably is listing thousands of innocent people who are unable to prove their innocence.
The Inspector General audit examined names and found that 24,000 were out of date. The list was originally compiled in the hysteria following 9/11 and it needs to be completely revised from top to bottom to ensure there is accuracy and to protect the rights of those who are innocent. Just another legacy of the Bush administration.

My first attempt at a blaster. Give me your opinions.
Still need to do some "tweaking", filling in some screw holes I put in etc. The scope is accually a real, albeit cheap, scope. (sorry sidewinder).
The detail on Sidewinders kits is absolutely amazing! I have spent many years in the machine tool industry. His casts are about as close as you can get to the real thing. The screws in the casts look so real. Every tool makers mark is there and the serial and assembly numbers are there and so crisp. The scope has got to be seen to be belived. It looks so much like the real thing. I may end up putting it on to be authentic. Just wanted to try a real scope I had.
Not bad for a first time effort ehh? Really all the credit goes to sidewinder and his skill. Without great parts one can make good props.
So this ones for you SW
If I ever get to the UK we will definately put a few back.
Hopefully these pix will load.....

"Bad Blood: The Border War that Triggered the Civil War " is a co-production of KCPT Kansas City Public Television and Wide Awake Films. The 90-minute documentary is about the events leading up to the Civil War along the border of Kansas and Missouri during the years of 1854 through 1861. The story is told through the eyes of Missourians & Kansans with a balanced approach to both sides of the thorny issue of slavery. The documentary is shot entirely in high definition.
The collaboration between KCPT and Wide Awake Films (www.wideawakefilms.com) was formed after KCPT received initial funding from a grant from the Fred & Lou Hartwig Foundation. Producers Pam Reichart and Angee Simmons approached Wide Awake Films' owners — Ed Leydecker, Shane Seley and Rob Hodge — because of their immense expertise in directing and producing historical reenactments (including five original Civil War-era historical documentaries and various contributions to historical productions for the History Channel, TNT, A&E, PBS and others).
The production took over two years to create, with four major reenactments throughout 2006. Using over 200 actors, Bad Blood was shot with the help of the Shoal Creek Association in Kansas City, Missouri, the Missouri Department of Conservation and Missouri Town-1855 in Jackson County. KCPT also captured images of historical sites throughout Kansas and Missouri, as well as using some never-before-seen photographs and lithographs in the documentary.
The production also utilizes the artistic talents of Ludwig Design and musical talents of Connie Dover and Dave Para and Cathy Barton. The completed program currently airs locally on KCPT with the hopes of being distributed nationally to PBS member stations.

After watching one of those commercials about guys having the frequent need to urinate, my husband asked me if the problem was related to diet. Shortly after that, Chris posted a similar question to this blog: "Does anyone know if there are certain foods I can eat that have been proven helpful in men's prostate health?"
The risk of an enlarged prostate, also called benign prostatic hyperplasia or BPH, increases about 4 percent a year after age 55. By age 60, half of men will have BPH. That number jumps to 95 percent by age 85. And, yes, diet does seem to be related.
A recent article in a medical journal looked at the effects of diet and supplements on prostate health. The article found that the following lifestyle factors were associated with a lower risk of BPH:
In addition, the article mentioned some specific nutrients:
Interestingly, a high fruit intake didn't affect the risk of BPH. And the role of total protein was unclear. Some studies demonstrated an increased risk in men who ate red meat every day compared with men who only ate it once a week, but other studies found a decreased risk in men with a high total protein intake. Finally, the article found no evidence that dietary or herbal supplements were useful in preventing or treating BPH.
Take note, gentlemen: A healthy prostate is yet another reason to exercise, avoid obesity, eat your vegetables, keep fat intake low and enjoy an occasional drink.
