OK I know that this a question that can get a wide range of answers but I'm just looking for a guess'ta-mit.
I have one I put together using an M&A CAR16 A2 kit on a Rock River lower.
It has less then a 1k rounds though it, I'd say 500 to 700.
Any ideas on value?

At the moment I am teaching a 7 year old girl English. We are following a Junior A course where she is learning to say and write the alphabet. She will obviously progress to writing words and short sentances. I am also teaching her sister who is two years younger than she is and we are following the Pre-Junior A book which is a lot more relaxed and involves playing, colouring and singing. Ideally the younger child should complete this year and progress to the Junior A book next year. My question is can a child start to learn to read and write in English before they have learned to do so in their own language. Should she progress to the Junior A book next year or should she take a year out to give her a chance to grasp the basics of her own language?
Many thanks.

Inspired by their University of St. Thomas honors education, 2009 graduates Joseph Morton and Thomas Mendez have launched the Paideia Institute, a nonprofit organization to prepare promising high school students for success in college as academic and social leaders. The organization's inaugural program, the Paideia Summer Academy, will take place July 5-22 on the UST campus.
Replicating the teaching style of the UST Honors Program, the Summer Academy will be a three-week program with seminar-style courses introducing the students to rigorous academic texts. Each day, students will attend four classes in subjects such as history, philosophy, rhetoric, logic, and international studies. An emphasis will be placed on relating classic texts to modern issues with the intent to prepare students for college-level rigor.
"My time as a Teach for America Corps Member has shown me that high school students often have a disparity between their ability for comprehension and their analytical skills," Morton said. "Our program seeks to teach students to analyze and synthesize college-level texts, and to polish those skills through student discussion and presentation."
Each class will be team-taught by at least two instructors including both a university professor and a high school teacher. Several UST professors have committed to teach at the summer academy including Dr. Terry Hall, associate professor of philosophy and director of the UST Honors Program, Dr. Randall Smith, associate professor of theology, Dr. Hans Stockton, associate professor of International Studies, Prof. H. R. Sindelar, adjunct professor of International Studies, and Dr. R. Houser, professor of philosophy.
The Paideia Institute's administrative staff is composed largely of recent UST graduates and current students including Morton, Mendez, Geoffrey Garza, Brian Husband and Clinton Kuykendall. During their time at UST, they all served as resident assistants and active student leaders. Morton, Mendez and Garza were part of the 2009 Honors Class.
"After graduation, Joe and Geoff and I started talking about issues that arise in high school classrooms and how important it is to have a passion for learning," said Mendez. "We realize there's a growing need for high school students to be prepared for college and we want to instill that passion in academically talented kids. The idea for this type of program is definitely a product of our UST education."
The word "Paideia" (pronounced pie-DAY-uh) is Greek for the system of education found in Ancient Athens which embraced cultural well-roundedness through the study of rhetoric, grammar, mathematics, music, philosophy, geography, natural history and gymnastics. Mendez said they chose the term for their organization because it reflected the holistic method of education they want to achieve, encompassing their commitment to the classics and to preparing future citizens and leaders.
Mendez is currently visiting Houston high schools and recruiting students for the program. Twenty high school juniors and seniors will be accepted to the Summer Academy after completing a written application and personal interview.
Students will be selected based on their academic and extra-curricular achievements, aptitude for written and verbal expression and ability to think creatively. Full or partial scholarships will be available based on financial need.
The Paideia Institute is entirely volunteer-driven. UST students, faculty or alumni interested in volunteering their time or resources for marketing, accounting, fundraising, chaperoning during the Summer Academy or in any other capacity should contact firstname.lastname@example.com for more information.
The cost for the Summer Academy is $785 per student. Interested parents or students should visit http://www.thepaideiainstitute.org for more information. Shown above left to right: Tom Mendez and Joe Morton

Fox Attacks White House For Same Response To Venezuela Presidential Election As Bush
Fox's Neil Cavuto attacked President Obama for "congratulating" Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez on winning the recent presidential election. But the White House did not congratulate Chavez at all; rather they congratulated the Venezuelan people for a high participation and a "peaceful election process," a response nearly identical to the one issued by President Bush in 2006.
During the October 9 edition of Fox News' Your World, host Neil Cavuto reacted to a statement by White House press secretary Jay Carney on the Venezuelan election by asking if the White House gave "its blessings to a dictator critics say is muscling into his job for life?" When asked for commentary on the White House's response, Fox News contributor John Bolton suggested it "was a big mistake" and "very sad commentary." Bolton went on to attack Obama, claiming "it may have been Chicago-style politics that attracted the approval" of the White House:
However, the White House statement never congratulated Hugo Chavez on his victory. In a press gaggle en route to Bakersfield, California, press secretary Jay Carney told reporters [1] pointed out "differences with President Chavez" but congratulated Venezuela on "a high level of participation" and a "relatively peaceful election process":
Q Speaking of foreign policy, can you react to the election results in Venezuela?
MR. CARNEY: The Venezuelan National Elections Commission has declared that President Hugo Chavez won reelection, I believe roughly 54 to 45 percent, with 90 percent reporting. We congratulate the Venezuelan people on the high level of participation, as well as on what was a relatively peaceful election process. I would note the challenger has conceded the race.
Q Do you have anything else to say about Chavez?
MR. CARNEY: Well, we have our differences with President Chavez, but we congratulate the Venezuelan people on a process that included high levels of participation.
Carney's comments closely resemble those of the George W. Bush administration following Chavez' reelection in 2006. Former press secretary Tony Snow told reporters [2] "we congratulate the Venezuelan people for having a successful democratic election" and "they have a right to participate in free and fair elections without fear of intimidation, and without real intimidation":
Q Venezuela. Venezuela's Hugo Chavez has been reelected for six more years. Will the President try to improve relations with Chavez?
MR. SNOW: Well, the one thing we do is we congratulate the Venezuelan people for having a successful democratic election. And they've made their decision. They're responsible for picking their leaders, and they have a right to participate in free and fair elections without fear of intimidation, and without real intimidation.
We remain committed to the Venezuelan people. We support their desire for a democratic future. We commend Manuel Rosales for the dignity he showed in the wake of the election. And we continue to seek a constructive relationship with the Venezuelan government on areas of mutual interest.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
I suspect that the booster you have is a 7" single diaphram booster. Id so, a double diaphram booster will help. If there is room you can go to a 8" double diaphram booster, big difference.
There is also a difference in master cylinder bore between a F1 and the bigger trucks. You may have to change the master to match the wheel cylinders you have.
The metering block has to be a drum/drum metering block, not a drum/disc. With a dual circuit master cylinder you should use a metering block, it adds protection if one brake circuit fails.
The other thing to check is pedal ratio, you want a ratio of about 5 to one, or you will never be able to apply enough pressure with your foot to lock up the brakes.
The metering block is designed for cars with disc/drum set ups.. It slows the front disc brake action down so the mechanicals of the rear shoes can catch up and the brakes apply evenly..
I never heard of having a metering valve on a all drum set up.. That's not to say it can't be done though.. I would look into that..
Also, is the master cyl plunger all the way seated when the pedal is not in use..
I get a lot of good suspension and brake info here... http://www.pro-touring.com/forum.php
Power brake system won't lock brakes
I installed dual master cylinder and booster into my 47 stake-bed with 351W engine. I used a kit made to replace the original under the floor. (kit came from MBM brakes and is designed for a 1/2 ton) Thus,had to modify the 3-bolt pattern somewhat by elongating one of the holes plus cut and weld original push rod to the new push rod. Also, installed four 10 lb residual valves as well as a metering block to prevent front end from diving (couldn't really tell any difference with or without block but installed since I had it.) The pedal pressure is lighter now and is much like any vehicle with power brakes and it slows the truck very well. (I am still using the stock drum brakes.) The big problem I am having is when I push the brake pedal as hard as possible to "lock up the brakes" for a panic stop it doesn't happen. The truck will slow down fast like I have an anti-lock system but just won't lock em up. Still trying to figure out why. My mechanic said the wheel cylinders, pads, drums, etc. are good. Wondering if there can be a problem with the size of wheel cylinders as related to size of M/C, etc.? Any ideas and suggestions will be appreciated.

Get a safe baby crib for the newest member of your family
During those first few months, the crib and nursery is going to be where your little one spends most of their time. You'll want to make sure that you have a well-stocked nursery so that you have all of your baby needs close at hand. Obviously you'll want to have an ample supply of diapers, so that you don't have to go searching around in the dark during a changing in the early hours of the morning.
Cribs are an investment and you'll want to be sure you get a model that lasts. Get the most out of your crib by looking at a convertible model. A convertible crib can be turned into a toddler bed, and even a big kid bed as your child gets older. Getting three beds for the price of one will stretch the value of every dollar you spend on your crib. These beds offer the same versatility that convertible sippy cups allow as your child grows.
Combination sets are available so you can pair your crib with a changing table. Besides giving you a surface to perform changings, many tables offer storage for diapers and replacement pacifiers for when baby throws one on the floor. Lonzada has all of the crib styles and accessories that will help make those first couple weeks at home much easier.

Texas Parks and Wildlife Supports Brazos River Exhibit
LUBBOCK, Texas — A permanent, original exhibit called "The Brazos River Journey: Texas Alive!" at the Science Spectrum is made possible in part by a grant from the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department.
The 6,000-square foot exhibit takes museum visitors on a virtual tour of the Brazos River from its headwaters northwest of Lubbock to its mouth at the Gulf of Mexico. With 19 aquatic tanks and 12 wildlife enclosures, the Brazos exhibit is the largest aquarium-centered facility between Fort Worth and Albuquerque. Science Spectrum employees report the exhibit attracts more than 200,000 visitors annually.
A partnership between TPWD, the City of Lubbock and the Science Spectrum made the exhibit possible. TPWD awarded a $750,000 local park indoor recreation grant in 2002 through a partnership with the City of Lubbock Parks and Recreation Department. The total project cost, including other grant sources, was near $2 million. The initial exhibit construction phase was finished in June 2003.
The exhibit includes a 12-foot wave tank, pictorial introductions to the river's four main sections, an overview of a playa (shallow plains wetland/lake), reservoir and Gulf life, and tours with a video ranger.
TPWD local, regional, and statewide biologists consulted about exhibit content since 2000 during the design phases of the exhibition, including providing information for video ranger stations throughout exhibit. TPWD biologists and fish hatcheries and fisheries centers across the state have been involved in the collections and donations process of many of the wild fish and animals on display. The exhibit will eventually feature cultural kiosks that will include oral histories, music samples, and regional artwork, and a discovery dock and seating area for live animal demonstrations by the Science Spectrum staff. Contributions from local and state scientists, photographers and artists will give the exhibit a local flair.
The goal of the Brazos River Journey exhibit and the Science Spectrum is to provide visitors with a deeper understanding of the subtle magnificence of the Brazos River, the important ecosystem it supports, and the complexity of the relationships woven between the river and the diverse people of the state.
The Science Spectrum OMNI Theatre is located at 2579 S. Loop 289 in Lubbock,
TX. For more information call (806) 745-2525 or visit the museum Web site.

Lifecycle Costs Calculator I-SPoT
The theme of "Total cost of ownership" is becoming ever more important in the logistics and material handling industry. Manufacturers of ground conveyor systems are constantly searching for concepts and solutions that will reduce the ongoing operating costs of their vehicles.
All these measures are extremely welcome as they provide further savings for the end user. However, it is unfortunately the case that many of these optimisation strategies are not thought through properly. In a typical sales discussion concerning the purchase of a new conveyor system (consisting of a vehicle, traction battery and battery charger), almost all the conversation revolves around the vehicle. At first glance this appears natural, as most of the costs involved in the purchase or rental agreement are related to the vehicle.
However, despite being associated with the lowest cost in the system as a whole, the battery charger plays a major role in determining ongoing operating costs. The charger has a major influence over electricity costs, the level of CO2 emissions and the total service life of the battery.
Paying close attention to the charger during procurement can be very rewarding. When costs over lifetime are considered, does the battery charger you're being offered really represent the best solution? For this reason Fronius is happy to provide a battery lifecycle costs calculator completely free of charge. By taking certain parameters into account, such as the number of weekly charging cycles, electricity price per kWh, battery capacities and available charging times, we can provide you with an individual calculation showing the potential savings in terms of energy costs and CO2 emissions that you could obtain by using Fronius battery chargers.

Hi Vincent,
I really enjoyed hearing about Carl Woese in TWiM #50. You mentioned the controversy surrounding of Woese's 1977 discovery of Archea as a third domain of life, as it contradicted entrenched scientific beliefs. Although Archea soon found its way into general scientific thinking, his work brings up another fundamental idea that is still controversial today. It relates to the word 'prokaryote.' Norm Pace, one of Woese's former students, is a strong believer that we need to stop using this word. I think he makes extremely compelling arguments about the harm this word does to basic biological understanding, and thought this could be an interesting discussion point on TWiM. Here are the the titles of two papers by Norm Pace that discuss this issue. They're both geared towards a general audience: Problems with "procaryote" (Journal of Bacteriology, 2009); Time for a Change (Nature, 2006).
I recently discovered TWiM and TWiV and am now an avid listener, mostly while cooking dinner and washing dishes, which always seems like deja vu after a long day of experiments and washing glasswear at the lab. Thank you for making that process infinitely more enjoyable. Writing from Seattle, WA,

Hello Vincent, Michael, Elio --
I enjoy TWiM, and have listened since episode #1. Keep up the good work and keep going. Out of TWiV, TWiP, and TWiM, I discuss episodes of TWiM with my wife the most!
I am writing, belatedly, to correct some inaccuracies in episode 49 "Grape-like Clusters". These are:
1. Someone, VR?, commented that French wines were the best. This is not FACT, but a matter of taste. The Latin expression "De gustibus non est disputandum" applies.
2. Michael speculated that natural yeast was used to ferment wine. This is a common belief and is mostly wrong. There is a vigorous industry dedicated to selling commercial yeasts to winemakers. A small number of boutique wineries are experimenting with using natural yeast -- these are a minority, and the quality of their results is highly variable.
I am an amateur wine maker of 17 years. See the attached image of a macro bin containing 0.5 ton of Cabernet Franc grapes from 2012. Note the white, powder-like color on the grapes -- this is natural yeast that grows in the vineyard. Note also the stems with missing grapes -- as harvest occurs the growers typically take weekly samples to measure sugar content.
In wine making, after the crush (in which a machine separate the stems from the grape berries, and in which the berries are lightly crushed) potassium metabisulfite is added to the must (the residual grapes & juice) to kill natural yeasts and inhibit fermentation. Typically 24 hours later the must is inoculated with a yeast starter and nutrients. The image of nubile virgins stamping barefoot on grapes to make wine is, sadly, a myth.
Our winemaking group purchases yeast from a company which supplies commercial wineries, Gusmer Enterprises. Attached is their 2012 catalog. Its front and back covers commemorate scientists whose discoveries were key to wine making -- Pasteur, Leeuwenhoek, Riley, or Dewar.
There are subterranean links to virology. Vincent can speak to physicist-turned-virologist Max Delbruck and his seminal work. Did you know that his uncle, also named Max -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max_Delbrück_(chemist) -- developed a yeast, Torulaspora delbrueckii, that will live in high alcohol levels? These yeasts are especially important in California because our climate products grapes with very high sugar levels which, through fermentation, produces high alcohol levels.
3. The paper that Michael presented provided a quantitative framework to characterize and measure the differences between grapes grown in different blocks on the research vineyard. As winemakers we see a qualitative difference in each barrel of wine. Rule of thumb: half a ton of grapes = 1 barrel = 24-25 cases of wine. It is too labor intensive to produce and label at such levels, thus wine from each barrel is blended which averages out the different tastes of each barrel.
I have TWO recommendations for listener-picks-of-the-week:
-- to learn about how a Californian coup d'etat established their wines as equals to French wine makers, watch the movie "Bottle Shock" which combines fact and Hollywood sensuality; watch the trailer here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DYs0kblXToA
-- to read more about the entire process of making wines from growing grapes, figuring out when to harvest them, and fermentation I recommend the book "From Vines to Wines" http://www.amazon.com/From-Vines-Wines-Complete-Growing/dp/1580171052
In closing,
in vino veritas
PS - feel free to use the grape image. The catalog image is technically copyrighted, though I doubt Gusmer would care if you want post it.

'The 27-year-old Hecht registered a career-high 52 points last season, despite playing in just 64 games due to a pre-season injury. The 27-year-old German broke his left arm in an exhibition game against Columbus, but returned to record 15 goals and 37 assists with an impressive plus-minus rating of +17.'

Sabres ink Hecht
Sabres re-sign Hecht to one-year $2.1 million deal
'The deal represents an $800,000 raise from last year and includes a $50,000 bonus if he matches last season's career-high 52 points. An arbitration hearing had been set for Sunday.'
Sabres re-sign LW Hecht to one-year deal
'"Jochen was a strong contributor to our team on the ice and in the locker room last season," Sabres general manager Darcy Regier said. "Statistically, he has proven that he is one of our top forwards and is part of the leadership core of players in our organization."'
Sabres G Biron seeks raise heading into arbitration
'Biron's agent Gilles Lupien told The Associated Press Thursday that he believes his client deserves a $2.7 million to $3 million contract, comparable to what other goalies of Biron's caliber and experience have received.'
Sabres' payroll likely rising
'Goalie Martin Biron is scheduled to plead his case Friday. Top two-way forward Jochen Hecht is on the docket for Sunday, third-leading scorer J.P. Dumont for Monday, top scorer Daniel Briere for Wednesday and defenseman Brad Brown for next Thursday. Teams can negotiate contracts with their players up until their respective hearings.'
Sabres know kids are all right
'Consequently, management's mandate this summer is to keep the team's young nucleus together, hoping that the additional maturity level of its roster will be enough to propel the team into a playoff position in the upcoming season. As a result, Buffalo GM Darcy Regier will likely spend the summer getting his in-house affairs in order, rather in becoming a big player in the free-agent market.'
Sabres keep Rory, Connolly, Noronen
'The team also had five players – forwards Norm Milley and Andrew Peters, defensemen Doug Janik and Dmitri Kalinin, and goalie Ryan Miller – fail to accept their qualifying offers by Saturday's deadline. While the Sabres retain the players' rights, the team must negotiate new contracts with them.'
Getting the Cup gives Andreychuk a chance to give back
'"I've been looking forward to this day for a long time," Andreychuk said. "Obviously, I was hoping it would be with the Sabres. I call Buffalo home. I have a ton of family and friends. I've been here for more than half my life. I'm happy to bring the Cup back. The way people have treated me since I've been here has just been awesome."'

Hotels in Lebanon
Lebanon Hotels
Ramlet Al-baida P.o.box 114-5013 Beirut Lebanon Beirut - Beirut, Lebanon
Abdel Baki Street Hamra P.o. Box 11-9452 Beirut Lebanon Beirut - Beirut, Lebanon
Saint-george Square 82 Facing Cepp Street 61 Sector 6 Jal El-dib , Beirut , Lebanon Beirut - Beirut, Lebanon
Lebanon is a mountainous country. The only exceptions are the coastal region and Beqaa Valley. This Middle Eastern country consists of 6 Governorates. They in turn, except for the Beirut Governorate, subdivide into 25 Districts. Lebanon is a place of social upheaval and historical marvels. The Phoenicians had their major city of Tyre, here. You can see it in the South Governorate. Make sure, you book a hotel in Lebanon with access to the Roman ruins, the u-shaped hippodrome (2nd century) and the ruins of a Crusader Cathedral. If you choose to stay in the capital city of Beirut, visit the elegant Mohammad Al-Amin Mosque. You should also wander the Souq at Tripoli or the Souq at Sidon (South Governorate). Here, too, is the Crusader's Sea Castle (13th century). EasyToBook.com provides a list of possible hotels in Lebanon from which to choose. Perhaps you will prefer a Lebanon hotel close to the Roman ruins of Byblos in the Mount Lebanon Governorate.At Chouf, there is the Beiteddine Palace begun construction in 1788. There are also caves at Jeita Grotto and the Museum at Baalbek. Baalbek in the Beqaa Governorate is the home of several Roman ruins. These include the Temple of Jupiter and the misnamed Temple of Bacchus. Wander the ruins and feel the country's ancient roots. No visit to Lebanon is complete without seeing the Cedars of Lebanon. Head to Bacharré in the Qadisha Valley. These majestic trees of ancient lineage and great celebrity recall Biblical epics.


text: Yeah, playing JMAX in the Spurs game could have won that one. Hopefully with the brahma's play today and the recent play by Murray convinces Flip to go with a 10 man roster the rest of the way so when the roster shortens to 8 at playoff time, those extra bodies won't be rusty when called upon to spell a foul plague Sheed or Rip. Bench has been looking better this week...but Flip got to find spots to get them in there instead of relying on the starters when they are ailing from groin, flu, and ankle injuries. Oh yeah, welcome back Hunter, I hope you lost some weight while your were out so you don't need to rely on your wife's diet pills.

I haven't heard from Jag Daddy for a while, but he put a 400 in a '76 XJ6. Might see if you can raise him and see how he did his. Might see if his photo album has anything also.
Bradykat is also doing a similar project.
Jaguar XJ6 Series III with 96 impala LT1... exhaust help?
I just bought some Borla Pro XS mufflers for my 1984 Jaguar XJ6 w/ 96 LT1. I have the downpipes constructed from the headers (corvette rams horns), and i'm wondering what would be the best way to run the pipe after the mufflers...
in a jaguar xj6, there is a complex IRS, called "the cage". The stock jaguar muffler pipes are curved and go up and through the cage, and curve back down to go through the resonators located in the rear valance panels.
I took the old resonators off when i refurbished the gas tanks this last week...
i don't know if anyone else on this site has tried a jag xj6 chevy 350 swap, but if they did, any help on how they routed their exhaust would be most helpful -- if i go under the cage, i'm afraid of rattle, and how to fit it through the valance, and if i go up and through the cage i'm afraid it will be restrictive of my flow...

Next Generation 802.11ac WLAN MIMO Design & Test Challenges
1 Hour | Webcast - enregistré | Where & When
Why this webcast is imporant:
The proliferation of Wireless LAN into new applications outside of the traditional email and browsing applications is driving the need for higher data rate throughput. New applications such as wireless display, HDTV streaming/distribution, and rapid upload/download of data are driving two new IEEE WLAN standards requirements for very high throughput: 802.11ac for frequencies below 6 GHz and 802.11ad for the 60 GHz band.
A goal of 802.11ac is to support wireless distribution of multiple multimedia/data streams with data rates of at least 1 Gbps in the 5GHz band. Some key features for increasing data throughput are wider channel bandwidths (e.g. contiguous 80MHz and 160MHz, or non-contiguous 80+80 MHz), higher-order modulation with optional support for 256 QAM, and Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) support for multiple spatial streams using multiple antenna techniques. Pre-distortion and beamforming are some further possibilities for high-performance systems.
This challenging combination of wider bandwidths, higher-order modulation, and MIMO introduces new design and test challenges for the system engineer.
This presentation will show how the system engineer can use design simulation to help understand the design performance and design requirements needed to achieve transmitter system-level metrics such as EVM. System performance budget trade-offs can quickly and easily be performed with system design simulation tools, before designing hardware. Once hardware is available and prototype and R&D testing phase has begun, system simulation tools can then be combined with Arbitrary Waveform Generators (AWGs) to generate wide-bandwidth 160MHz waveforms for MIMO testing. Multi-channel phase-coherent high performance digital oscilloscopes with Vector Signal Analysis (VSA) software are then used to perform the SISO or MIMO demodulation to evaluate the transmitter's performance. In addition, the error contributions along the transmitter chain (IQ, IF, RF) can be measured using a digital oscilloscope with VSA software to help the system engineer optimize the design performance of the prototype hardware. In addition, this presentation will show how simulation can be combined with test equipment to perform 802.11ac coded BER measurements on receiver DUT hardware.
Who should attend:
Researchers, system engineers, and RF engineers involved in the design and development of 802.11ac wireless LAN components and systems.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|In Michigan real estate there is "dual agency" where the buyer and seller can be represented by one broker. This used to be an ethical problem, and in my opinion still is. Never the less, the point of being a broker is to make money and that should always be borne in mind. I doubt that a broker would have any trouble selling you a boat at twice the going rate if you were blinded by your love for the boat. And if you love the boat, twice the price may be fine (!) just don't cry later. If you want to cover your stern, you'd probably want a broker representing your interests. So you have to shop for a broker before you shop for a boat. On the other hand, there are good brokers who will not steer you wrong regardless of their lack of financial interest. Sounds like some of these were listed previously. A lot of research needs to be done in finding a broker you trust; just like a doctor, auto mechanic, etc... Word of mouth, again as listed above, is a great aid. There are good and bad brokers, like any profession, and one might be served as well, or better, by a "great" sellers broker than one's own not so great broker. It makes sense to me to shop the broker as if you were shopping the boat. Not nearly as much fun, but perhaps the most beneficial in the long run. To carry the real estate analogy further, there are agents I wouldn't buy a house from no matter how good the deal or house.. Good luck
|I agree that you should have a broker representing you, the buyer, but never lose sight of the fact that only you are truly on your side. Your own broker's interests often conflict with your interests. The broker earns a bigger commission if he can sell you a bigger, more expensive boat, and he earns more if he can sell you a boat listed by his own company. Don't let him talk you into buying a bigger or more expensive boat than you want or need, or a boat that is just wrong for you. Be open-minded and receptive to their suggestions, because they really do want to help you find the right boat, but have a clear idea of the kind of boat you want, before you ever contact a broker, so you will have a base of knowledge to help you make your own judgments.
"Well, if the broker is being paid by the seller, then that broker is not really representing the interests of the buyer, is he (or she)?"
"A true buyer's broker would be one that the buyer pays."
The law in Canada with respect to agency has evolved (by court decisions) so that a broker can legally represent a buyer and be paid by the seller without compromising the agency principle. All parties must be informed about the true relationship though. FWIW - I work in real estate and this issue is always being discussed given the potential for confusion among the parties involved.
|A boat broker works the same as a realestate broker and gets paid the same way. The system works because brokers in both cases work both sides of the street. In realestate there are laws regulating that a broker cannot represent both buyer and seller, but this is not the case in the marine industry. A buyer is not going to be fairly represented by the sellers broker as he is working for the seller and that's where his loyalty is and should be. A buyer's broker while not being paid by the buyer is supposed to represent the buyer. It doesn't matter a tinkers damn which boat the buyer buys so he hardly represents the seller.
Kevin... If you are looking for a blue-water cruising boat and you know what you want in terms of size, rudder etc. as you state...then I would simply call one of the brokers who specialize in blue-water boats and tell them what you are looking for. A lot of these guys KNOW what is coming on to the market before it makes it to yacht world and can also advise you to consider models you may not have heard of or thought of before. I would not call them buyers brokers but you CAN rely on their knowledge and advice UNTIL you get to the "I want that boat" stage!
If you are looking for a production type boat then yachtworld is your best bet unless you happen to know a good broker that actually works for a living!!
Good bluewater brokers I know:
David Walters...David Walters Yacht Sales Ft. Lauderdale
Steve Liebowitz- Annapolis Yacht Sales
Also Deaton's Yacht Sales in Oriental NC
broker fees
In selling/buying real estate, the commission paid by the seller is shared (not necessarily equally) by buyer's and seller's brokers.
Although the same should work for boats, one should also be able to negotiate a fixed fee for the services of a buyer's broker. At least, this makes sense to me. In any case, they don't work for free!

A true buyer's broker would be one that the buyer pays.
Being represented by a professional brokerage house does not add a penny to a yacht purchase price, since the brokers' commission is entirely paid by the seller. Therefore, it is completely cost-free to the yacht Buyer.
A true buyer's broker would be one that the buyer pays.
I communicated quite a bit with Gary Fretz prior to buying my boat; I ended up not using his services for other reasons, but am sure that had I used him for the whole purchase process to communicate with the "other" broker it would have saved quite a bit of money. He was quite friendly, and that attitude didn't change when I informed him that he wouldn't be getting part of a commission.
See his article at Why a Yacht Buyer Should be Represented
by a Professional Broker
|When I boat my boat in Detriot I used a broker in Palmetto, Fl. He gets paid as part of the brokerage fee the seller pays. Contact a local broker or if you want I'll let you know my broker's name.

I am interested in hearing teachers flesh out and explain how they implement the Anapanasati Sutta.
I have some questions. I ran across Vimalaramsi's free online book but haven't read it. (I saw it on Amazon when I looked up "anapanasati".
1. Is there a different, free online book/article on the anapanasati sutta that you would recommend instead of this one?
2. What actual books would you recommend instead? What do you think of "Breath by Breath" by Rosenberg?

Here is an award-winning production with an all-star cast, bringing to life one of the best loved and recognised children's books of all time. This is a full dramatisation with specially composed music.
(P)1997 Hodder Children's Books
I love listening to or reading books--especially fantasy, science fiction, children's, classics, & historical.
"A Great Dramatization with a Perfect Piglet"
This is an excellent dramatization of A. A. Milne's delightful classic book about Pooh, the bear of little brain, and his quirky friends. The different voice actors are perfect, with standouts being Judi Dench as one of the two narrators, Jane Horrocks as the husky, high-voiced Piglet, and Geoffrey Palmer as the appealingly gloomy Eeyore. Stephen Fry does a sturdy Pooh, though at times I had the uncanny impression of Fry himself standing before me rather than Pooh bear. Two narrators, one male, one female, narrate the chapters, switching back and forth repeatedly and rapidly, and after about the first chapter, I found myself enjoying the switches, as though I were being read to by two ideally witty and warm parents or grand-parents at the same time. The piano music that begins or closes chapters and accompanies Pooh's "hums" is pleasant and appropriate. The sound effects help the listener to imagine the scenes without distracting him/her from the savory text. And the dramatization doesn't abridge much; from what I could tell (by comparing the first chapter in the book with the first one in the audiobook), the dramatizers include pretty much all of Milne's words and chapters except for occasional dialogue tags that are conveyed well enough by the different voice actors.
It was very entertaining to listen to this book; I often found myself smiling and chuckling at the foolish and charming exploits of Pooh and company and wishing the book would not end.
By the way, I tried the samples of Peter Dennis reading the unabridged Pooh books and was completely turned off by the bizarre grunting-farting noise that punctuates all of Piglet's utterances. Jane Horrocks is much much MUCH more appealingly Piglet-y.
"Loved it!"
I loved this dramatised version of the book.I especially loved Piglet, who has such a very small voice to match such a very small animal! I also loved Kanga, with her australian accent.
Australian, love being read to, love a good story, characters and great writing. Classics are favourites but prepared to be adventurous.
"Loving it all over again"
These narrators take me back to the magic of AA Milne's beloved characters and stories.
Judi Dench and Geoffrey Palmer are sublime, Stephen Fry and Jane Horrocks are perfect.
At 5 years old or 50 (like me), there is much love and fun in these stories about the silly old bear.
I adored being read to as a child and still do.
Highly recommended!
"Wonderful Book"
My 5 year old daughter loves listening to this book because there is so much expression delivered from the characters. It is an amazing book for all ages.
"The only audiobook my son will listen to"
My son is picky when it comes to reading stories or listening to audiobooks. Winnie the Pooh is one that I never have to fight him on. He loves to hear it when he goes to bed.
"I love this book!"
My daughter laughs and laughs when she hears Piglet pronounce "honey ". My favorite children's book by far!
"Doesn't miss a beat"
Such a fun listen. Can't recommend it enough. My 3-year-old has it on repeat. For me it took a bit to adjust to WtP's voice since I was so accustomed to Disney's version but the actor (as are all the actors) is excellent. This is slightly abridged but the much of roundabout dialogue is preserved.
"Almost perfect "
Some of the sound effects were over the top but otherwise great and no flaws, I really liked it... So get it
"just magical"
the way Winnie The Pooh is brought to life by the amazing cast makes me fall in love with the story all over again
"Brilliant!!!! Adults also can enjoy"
This is the funniest pooh ever! I have never expect to laugh laud listening Winnie the pooh.
I love it. Such a gorgeous actors: )
"kids enthralled by it. lovely."
they keep coming back to it and are enchanted. great story told by brilliant voices.
"Fabulous book. Great for all ages"
Oh my! I adored this book. The narrators were amazing, each of them showing themselves in their best light. WOW. It left me a little emotional!
I can't think of one. Just buy it!
Eeyore's birthday is lovely. Christopher Robin made me want to weep.
Disney isn't everything!
Buy this book and listen in the car with your children. Money worth spending.
Funny, heartwarming, timeless
the voices are fantastic a great cast
it always makes me laugh
My daughter (3 and a half) has fallen for this audio book and listens to it every day and recites bits to herself all the time.
"The single best audio book ever"
The best book I have ever listened to!
Eeyore, Eeyore Eeyore! Highlight of my school runs! Geoffrey Palmer was perfect!
Eeyore was the highlight of my school runs!
"My son's absolutely loves this."
They love the narrators voice and they love listening to this story almost every night!

- Yannis Keats Translator's Notes
Translator's Note: Yannis Keats
Angelos Sikelianos is perhaps best summed up by David Ricks in his anthology, Modern Greek Writing (Peter Owen Publishers, 2003):
Prolific, vatic, uneven, yet a master of many complex forms, no twentieth-century Greek poet is more deserving of serious attention . . . yet no poet is so the despair of the translator.
The complex forms (Sikelianos considered himself an heir to Pindar), usually rhymed, in traditional or nonce stanzas or wildly heterometrical, are actually part of what attracts me as a translator—the maddening challenge of getting his bold, rhymed sonnets, for instance, accurately into bold, rhymed English. He was the first Greek poet nominated for the Nobel, though he never received the prize. He is often compared to Yeats, another poet/playwright of artistic greatness and idiosyncratic philosophy. (Take "Doric" and "Leda and the Swan," for instance: both are sonnets of an eroticized rape/rapture at a safe Classical or mythological remove.)
"Doric" had long puzzled me—it appears to be set in ancient Greece, but why, and why Doric? I first encountered it in Keeley's and Sherrard's fine free-verse translation. The poem fully exploits that top-heavy asymmetry that gives the sonnet its dynamic energy differential: virginity versus sex, stasis versus conflict. But I only understood what this poem was "about" when I translated it for myself. The importance of the girl's hair being shorn off (therismeni—"harvested" or "reaped") suddenly triggered the realization: she is a Spartan bride. (The Spartans spoke a Doric dialect.) A Spartan marriage was a curious affair: the bride, who had been ritually abducted, sheared off her tresses and awaited her bridegroom on a straw mattress in a pitch-dark room. Spartan maidens, like Spartan youths, received a formal education that included wrestling. Their marriage was consummated in secret, and for some time after, the pair met in clandestine assignations to whet their desire. I should have long ago picked up the obvious clue: Sikelianos places this sonnet between sonnets called, respectively, "Sparta" and "The Virgin of Sparta."
"Yannis Keats" (from 1915) is a very different use of the Classical past. Sikelianos maintained a life-long interest in John Keats, delivering a lecture on him at the British Council in Athens towards the end of his life. What first grabs our attention is the title: not John Keats, but Yannis Keats (not even the formal "Ioannis"). He is making Keats a Greek and an equal, a friend. Strangely, the poem is set not in the present nor in Keats's nineteenth century, but in Homer's Bronze Age. In fact, we find ourselves smack in the midst of the Odyssey, with Keats as Odysseus's son, Telemachus, at the brink of manhood, and the speaker as Pisistratus, his young friend and companion, son of Nestor. The details (such as the nudging of the foot) are taken straight out of Homer, and the scenes have a freshness and sparkle, not the old world traversed by long-suffering Odysseus, but a new world of adventure just opening up to young heroes. In a sleight of imagination, this vividly present ancient world also partakes of Keats—when we go to see the ritual sacrifice of the heifers, are we not the citizens who have emptied the town one pious morn in "Ode on a Grecian Urn"? Together the young companions make a road trip to see Menelaus and, especially, the bewitching Helen (daughter of aforementioned Leda and Swan). Yet the poem closes with a rejection of all this—Keats is in fact dead, in Rome.
In the last stanzas, Sikelianos performs yet another feat of connections. Keats's death mask at the Spanish Steps becomes the gold mask exhumed at Mycenae in 1876 by Heinrich Schliemann, who said, "I have looked upon the face of Agamemnon." The distance between Sikelianos and Keats suddenly widens into an impassible and impossible gulf—if "Ode on a Grecian Urn" projects into a future, "midst of other woe/Than ours," "Yannis Keats" plumbs into the past—death has made Keats as ancient as a Mycenean tomb, and the marvels with which the speaker wanted to dazzle him, dusty grave goods of antiquity. —aes

The modern world witnesses the presence in societies of people from varying religious and cultural backgrounds which increasingly requires review of basic ideas regarding what legal. Muslim women in South Africa who were married under Sharia law moved closer to securing rights guaranteed to women under the nation's marital laws. The South African Constitutional Court ruled that Muslim women who were involved in a polygnous marriage can now inherit a share of their dead husband's estate. Fatima Gabie Hassan was one of two wives. After the death of her husband, the estate's executor refused her claim to a share in the estate. The Court's decision allowed women in such marriages to have a fair share in the estate of a spouse, but it did not rule on the other question as to whether or not polygnous marriages or those granted under Sharia law were valid.
Some law experts argue the court is merely interpreting a polygnous marriage as akin to that between gays or lesbians and thus each partner is entitled to a share of the estate. However, it will be interesting if the South African court eventually rules on the issue of the legality of Sharia law marriages.

Prime Minister Ehud Olmert told members of Israel's Knesset that his government retains all options on the table for handling the threat of Iran's nuclear program. "The threat of a nucler Iran gives context to the options that we're putting on the table….Israel cannot reconcile itself with a nuclear Iran." He refuted recent reports from America's National Intellience Estimate that Iran was not engaged in developing nuclear weapons and it would be years before it could attain such capability. According to Olmert, "as far as Israel is concerned, the Iranians are continuing efofrts to produce non-conventional (weapons) and therefore we must use all of the means at our disposal to stop them."
Olmert emphasized that "words do not stop missiles" but he ignores that military action can also result in the increase in missiles being fired. Israel has been utilizing military action in Gaza for months without being able to halt missiles and ignoring the possibility of engaging in dialogue with Hamas leaders. An Israel attack on Iran would produce catastrophic results in the Middle East and virtually end any opportunity for peace with Palestinians. It is interesting the prime minister's comments came days after he met with President Bush. One can only wonder if the two men discussed the bellicose Israel comments about possible war with Iran.

With onsite treatment replacing municipal sewers in nearly half of all new residential developments, precast concrete producers have an increasing opportunity to help landowners take responsibility for onsite wastewater treatment.
In many municipalities, code officials are giving producers no choice, and require both primary and secondary effluent treatment prior to discharge. Land capacity also plays a role.
Even where secondary treatment is not required, producers can establish concrete as the preferred wastewater-treatment containment material by diversifying their product lines with secondary treatment systems. Two systems help producers increase not only sales but also environmental goodwill.
An aerobic system like the HOOT Aerobic Treatment System, rather than using soil to organically break down sewage, relies on an aeration chamber that breeds bacteria for that purpose so the sewage is pure enough for discharge. The typical aerobic system, however, has two separate tanks: one for primary, the other for secondary, treatment. The HOOT system is said to be the only complete system in one tank, which is made exclusively of concrete.
According to a 1995 Baylor University research report, the system creates a 97.7% mean reduction of biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and a 98.2% mean reduction of total suspended solids (TSS) in wastewater. (Class I aerobic treatment system requirements established by the National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) are 85% for both.) These reductions allow licensees to sell the system in areas where regulations are particularly strict.
Concrete is superior in durability and watertightness but costs 15% to 20% less than fiberglass. The licensor ships the producer ready-to-assemble kits consisting of controls, pumps, PVC pipe, and an internal PVC hopper, and all the contractor has to do is hook up the wiring and connect it to the house.
A newly patented secondary-treatment system, from Earthtek Environmental Systems, Batesville, Ind., uses a different purification method. It uses a sort of internal drip-irrigation method in which sewage that has been primarily treated in a separate septic tank flows downward through a bed of bacteria-rich filter media in a secondary tank before being discharged.
The secondary treatment reduces conventional septic-system failures and is the best reducer of nitrates in the effluent, according to inventor Kevin R. Chaffee, P.E. The system reportedly yields an average nitrate concentration of only 10 parts per million. It, too, meets NSF requirements. In addition, Earthtek Environmental Systems will provide producers with forms and technical assistance in setting up an optional drip-irrigation system.

New dem ad smears/lies about mitt killing woman
It seems a lot of people are getting fed up with these lies or a lot of people know DEMs are making crap up about Romney. See his not paying taxes thread. I said there all he has to do is show the records and it will shut them up.
Have the you seen the latest ad about a guy who was fired from Bain and lost his health insurance. Then his wife got sick and died because they had no insurance.
He blames Romney and said he doesn't even know or
care that he killed her. Typical DEM ploy.
That is a lie because Romney wasn't even at Bain in 07 when she died. He left Bain in 01
so he had nothing to do with the dismissal.
In fact, when the dude was fired the wife
had a job in a thrift shop and had her own
health insurance that kept her going.
So they had insurance.
The same thing happened to my brother when he lost his job. His wife got a job and got their health insurance and she's still working after being a stay at home mom for 21 years.
The lies are taking the focus off the economy and jobs and the people aren't being fooled.
That said, OBY is pulling ahead in Florida and Ohio at last count by +6. If OBY gets them it's over by 8:30 pm on election night.
Rasmussen still has them about even.
Saw it. It's an awful ad and provides no direct correlation at all to Bain nor Romney. No one, I think, will see this ad and get off the fence though. The general Bain "concern" has pulled those people already.

Re: New dem ad smears/lies about mitt killing woman
It's almost as bad as calling Ron Paul racist.
Mud slingin' = infantile BS.Disclaimer: The content posted is of my own opinion.
Re: New dem ad smears/lies about mitt killing woman
While calling Ron Paul a racist is bad. This is way worse.
I honestly can't think of one thing in presidential politics as bad as this.
First off the ad leaves out some many facts, second the campaign new the story they claimed to not know about and third they are saying Mitt Romney is responsible for this woman's death. This is a new low for ANY campaign...We are all born ignorant, but one must work hard to remain stupid. - Benjamin Franklin
And NOW I'm getting pissed at Romney. He needs to be out there angry over this. He is basically letting Obama call him a murderer, and not responding at all.
I get not general campaigning yet. But to stay silent over this??? What the hell are you doing Mitt???

I'd be OUTRAGED. If I was Mitt I would leak I am going to have a press conference to announce my VP to get tons of media coverage and then tell how BHO's campaign knew about this story most likely coordinated with the SUPER PAC, lied about the story and BLAST him for not asking the Super PAC to take down the ad.We are all born ignorant, but one must work hard to remain stupid. - Benjamin Franklin

Twice now Mitt could have pounced and he's balked.
Whomever is running his campaign needs to be fired.

Re: New dem ad smears/lies about mitt killing woman
And historically, it's been the Dems that are soft. Maybe MR and Co. has an ace somewhere...

The Weekly Health Quiz: Pool Parasites, Death Rattle and Food as Medicine

An abdominal wall fat pad biopsy is the removal of a small part of the abdominal wall fat pad. The procedure is done most often to test for amyloidosis.
Abdominal wall biopsy; Biopsy - abdominal wall fat pad
Needle aspiration is the most common method of taking an abdominal wall fat pad biopsy.
The health care provider cleans the skin on your belly area. Numbing medicine may be applied on the area. A needle is placed through the skin and into the fat pad under the skin. A small piece of the fat pad is removed with the needle. It is sent to a laboratory for analysis.
No special preparation is usually necessary.
You may have some mild discomfort or feel pressure when the needle is inserted. Afterward, the area may feel tender or be bruised for several days.
This test may be performed when amyloidosis is suspected.
The fat pad tissues are normal.
In the case of amyloidosis, abnormal results mean there is amyloid, a protein that deposits in tissues and impairs organ and tissue function.
The risks are minimal. There is a slight risk of infection. There is also a minor risk of bruising or slight bleeding.

Our general interest e-newsletter keeps you up to date on a wide variety of health topics.
At Mayo Clinic, we take the time to listen, to find answers and to provide you the best care.
Your doctor will take a personal and family medical history, do a physical exam using a stethoscope to listen to your heart and lungs, and order tests. He or she may refer you to a heart specialist (cardiologist) for testing.
Tests your doctor might order include:
Exercise stress test. Your doctor may have you perform an exercise test, either walking on a treadmill or riding a stationary bike. Electrodes attached to you during the test help your doctor measure your heart rate and oxygen use.
This type of test can show the severity of problems caused by dilated cardiomyopathy. If you're unable to exercise, you may be given medication to create the stress.
Cardiac catheterization. For this invasive procedure, a long, narrow tube is threaded through a blood vessel in your arm, groin or neck into the heart. The test enables your doctor to see your coronary arteries on X-ray, measure pressure in your heart and collect a sample of muscle tissue to check for damage that indicates dilated cardiomyopathy.
This procedure may involve having a dye injected into your coronary arteries to help your doctor study your coronary arteries (coronary angiography).

Tuesday November 5th, 2013 1:37am
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The Jacksonville men's lacrosse team has become a forced to be reckoned with this season. Junior Conor Igoe (Columbus, Ohio) scored two minutes into overtime to send the Dolphins to a 9-8 victory over Detroit and improve JU to a perfect 3-0 in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference this season.
JU (5-3; 3-0) had how won four of the last five following Saturday afternoon's hard fought win at D.B. Milne Field.
Igoe was one of three Dolphins who scored a pair of goals on Saturday, but none were more important than his walkoff goal that sent the JU faithful into a frenzy.
"We had an exchange with our mids and then just tried to work the ball around, fortunately I came open on the backside and Cam found me for the open shot," said Igoe of the game winning possession.
"It is great to be 3-0 in the league right now, but our focus is on winning the next game and securing a spot in the MAAC Tournament."
Freshman Dakota Rohlin (Temecula, Calif.) and senior TJ Kenary (Alpharetta, Ga.) also added a pair of goals for JU which is off to it's best start in the program's four year history.
"We didn't play our best today, but the most encouraging thing is that our guys just kept grinding it out and found a way to win," said JU Head Coach Guy Van Arsdale. "Its a great sign for a team to play through what this team has gone through and come out at the end of the week and find a way to get it done."
Picking up where they left off in last week's 10-7 win at Manhattan, the Dolphins grabbed an early 2-0 lead the first six minutes of the game. Detroit (1-7; 1-2) wouldn't go away easy however as the Titans scored four of the next five goals to take a 4-3 lead into the locker room.
After not trailing at all last week, JU quickly climbed out of the one goal deficit in the second half. Senior Cam Mann (Hamilton, Ont.) started things off by tying the game two minute into the third quarter before sophomore Ari Waffle (Manlius, N.Y.) gave the Dolphins the lead less than a minute later off an assist from senior James Trentini (Fort Washington, Pa.). Rohlin added another goal in the quarter for JU which took a 6-4 lead into the fourth quarter.
After both defenses really controlled the first three quarters, the offenses dominated the fourth scoring six goals in the five eight minutes of the period.
JU had a number of possessions early in the quarter that could have helped but the game away, but the Dolphins were unable to capitalize and Detroit took advantage. The Titans scored two quick goals midway through the fourth quarter, but JU wasn't rattled as Igoe responded with his first goal of the day.
Both teams continued to trade goals over the next five minutes before JU goalie Pete DeLuca (Millersville, Pa.) made a key save on a would be game winner for the Titans as the regulation clock expired. Once in overtime the Dolphins never lost confidence as they took home their second straight OT victory on Milne Field.
Jacksonville returns to action at VMI next Saturday. Game time is set for 12:00 pm.

HP TO SHIP PCs WITH WEBOS PREINSTALLED STARTING 2012
Linux based HP WebOS will finally get a real chance of development as HP confirmed it will ship alongside Windows starting next year. The idea is to provide a dual boot setup which should increase chances for this somewhat unknown OS to claim some attention from both users and developers. As its own name suggests, WebOS has a strong cloud orientation, and is a similar concept to Google's Chrome OS. Having said so, HP may be running late already as the number of applications in their store is a tiny 6000, nowhere near the numbers in Google's web store.
For us Linux users this should be nothing but good news, for WebOS should bring enhanced hardware support to the Linux Kernel for any and all HP models. Because such models use components that are also used by many other manufacturers, hardware support in Linux shall experience an improvement.
Clement Lefebvre recently confirmed that Linux Mint (as already known) will not be using Ubuntu 11.04 Unity. The interesting news is that it will be based on GNOME 3.0, but instead of using Gnome Shell, it will stick to the classic Gnome outfit we are used to.
AutoCad clone Draftsight has just been released, offering free downloads and nice support for Linux. Those interested in downloading, simply visit the application WEBSITE and download the packages that best suit your distro (Ubuntu, Fedora, OpenSuse, Mandriva and their corresponding derivatives available).
Here's a screenshot of Draftsight running on ZorinOS 4.

Yes, finally! Firefox 4.0 Release Candidate is out there and available for download, as stated on Mozilla's Blog OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT. Those of you who installed the Mozilla PPA to install Firefox Beta will get this latest Release Candidate, which promises better stability and performance, through a standard update.
Ok, this one is exciting. We finally get to see what Nautilus 3.0 will look like once it is finally released. This screenshot already shows how minimize and maximize buttons are no longer available, but also a heavily simplified, more elegant looking UI.
Click on image to enlarge.
So, after a brief and difficult life, Ubuntu Netbook Edition is officially history. Canonical stated on their BLOG that the upcoming Ubuntu release, featuring Unity as the default desktop manager, will cope with any device, from tablets, to netbooks, notebooks and desktops.
As most of you probably know by now, Ubuntu 11.10 code name has finally been chosen. Oneiric Ocelot is the quirky choice, as Mark Shuttleworth himself explains in his own BLOG.
On a different note, Mark also talked a little about Natty Narwhal, to be released some time next month:
"Natty is a stretch release: we set out to redefine the look and feel of the free desktop. We'll need all the feedback we can get..."
I think it is smart to acknowledge the tremendous task of bringing Unity forward, but is that a hint at things going below expectations? Ever since the Unity move was announced, I always thought 11.04 would be a "skip release" for me. Don't get me wrong, I am actively testing Alphas and want to help make it the best release possible, but I am skeptic it can offer a true improvement over 10.10. Hope I am wrong!
Fedora recently released their first alpha for their upcoming release, Fedora 15. If you read any of my recent Fedora reviews, you probably know I was less than excited with what they had to offer, but it seems this upcoming one may have more beef to it. I am excited to see important updates and additions on many fronts, not just those that developers would care about.
Here's a list of new features, straight from the distro's OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT.
- Updated Desktop Environments. Fedora 15 will ship with GNOME 3, the next major version of the GNOME desktop. If you're interested in other experiences, KDE and Xfce will also be showcasing the latest and greatest in desktop technology from their respective projects.
- System and session management. Previously available as a technology preview in F14, systemd makes its full-fledged debut in Fedora 15. systemd is a smarter, more efficient way of starting up and managing the background daemons relied on by services we all use every day - such as NetworkManager and PulseAudio.
- Cloud. Looking to create appliances for use in the Cloud? BoxGrinder creates appliances (virtual machines) for various platforms (KVM, Xen, EC2) from simple plain text appliance definition files for various virtual platforms.
- Updated programming languages and tools. Fedora 15 features new versions of Rails, OCaml, and Python. GDB and GCC have also been updated. (Fedora 15 was built with GCC 4.6.0, too!)
- Productivity Applications. LibreOffice is filled with tools for everyday use, including word processing, spreadsheet, and presentation applications.
- Consistent Network Device Naming. Server management just got even easier. Fedora 15 uses BIOS-provided, non-arbitrarily given names for network ports, taking the burden off of system administrators.
- Dynamic Firewall. Fedora 15 adds support for the optional firewall daemon, that provides a dynamic firewall management with a D-Bus interface.
- Ecryptfs in Authconfig. Fedora 15 brings in improved support for eCryptfs, a stacked cryptographic filesystem for Linux. Starting with Fedora 15, authconfig can be used to automatically mount a private encrypted part of the home directory when a user logs in.
- DNSSEC for workstations. NetworkManager now uses the BIND nameserver as a DNSSEC resolver. All received DNS responses are proved to be correct. If particular domain is signed and failed to validate then resolver returns SERFVAIL instead of invalidated response, which means something is wrong.
- Go Green. Power Management improvements include the PowerTOP tool, which identifies the software components that make your computer use more energy than necessary while idle. Automatic tuning of power consumption and performance helps conserve on laptop battery usage, too!
- Business Management tools. Tryton is a three-tier high-level general purpose application platform, providing solutions for accounting, invoicing, sale management, purchase management, analytic accounting, and inventory management.
- New Package Suite Groups. The Graphics suite group has been renamed to the Design group, and the Robotics SIG has created the Robotics Package Suite, a collection of software that provides an out-of-the-box usable robotic simulation environment featuring a linear demo to introduce new users.
...And yes, there are lots more things going on right now, but I picked a few that I consider interesting.
Hope you did too!

Professor Ole O Moen, a Norwegian expert on US politics, ranked George Bush as the second worst American president. "His adminsitration stands for adangerous blend of arrogance and ignorance." He argues Bush lacks the ability to listen to, let alone work, with other world leaders. Moen listed a litany of what he considered to be Bush errors going from Iraq to Kyoto to fiscal mismanagement of the budget, and tax policies which widen the gap between rich and poor. Professor Moen ranked Democrat James Buchanan as the next worst president given his role in helping cause the Civil War. He considers Abraham Lincoln and Franklin Roosevelt as the two most outstanding presidents.
Professor Moen is probably one of those "foreign intellectuals" who think they know more than the combined brilliance of Bush-Cheney-Rumsfeld-Rove. OK, so George Bush made a minor mistake about some WMD, but why do these foreign critics continue blaming the poor man for thinking something was there that wasn't? Anyone can make a mistake. OK, so he made a few wrong calls about the economy, big deal. Just remember this man did OK with owning the Texas Ranger baseball team, and I just dare this Professor Moen to rank George Bush as the worst President of a baseball team! The problem with foreign "intellectuals"is they believe they have more kowledge than the brilliant trio of Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld. Professor Moen, someday future archeologists will uncover the WMD and won't you be sorry you blamed our beloved leader for making a mistake!
I would like to know why Professor Moen doesn't admit George Bush ranks as the best president in having direct contact with God! How many US presidents had a direct hotline to heaven? How many were advised by angels? None of these strengths apparently are of interest to the Norwegian academic. Any way, we Americans will not rank order Norwegian kings and queens so please Professor Moen, allow we Americans to handle our fools.

CHICAGO -- Only the complete game and shutout eluded Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher A.J. Burnett in a stadium where he loves to pitch.
Burnett pitched into the ninth inning and Pedro Alvarez and Russell Martin homered to lead the Pirates to a 6-2 win over the Chicago Cubs on Saturday.
"You program yourself," Burnett said after coming within two outs of his team's first complete game this season. "You want to finish what you started."
Burnett (4-6) gave up four hits and three walks with five strikeouts in 8 1/3 innings to improve to 5-0 in his career at Wrigley Field. He had a shutout until Alfonso Soriano's two-run home run to left with one out in the ninth ended a string of 18 straight scoreless innings by Pirates pitchers.
"It was the only ball that hung," Burnett said of the shot by Soriano. "He did with it what you're supposed to do with it. I go back a long way with Sori. ... I've gotten him a few times, he's gotten me.
"But you know, you can bury that pitch right there and I've buried it."
Burnett held the Cubs hitless until Nate Schierholtz's double down the line in right leading off the fifth. He threw 112 pitches and left after Soriano's home run.
Burnett did not want to come out after allowing a single to Anthony Rizzo before Soriano's home run, and despite a mound conference, manager Clint Hurdle said he had no intention of removing his starter until 115 pitches or some runs scored.
"You've got to give men an opportunity to do certain things no matter where you are or who it is, and he's earned that opportunity," Hurdle said. "There's been many games he's given us everything he's had."
Burnett threw a one-hitter in his last start at Wrigley Field last July 31. He lost the no-hitter in the eighth inning with two outs in that outing.
"It's a good place," Burnett said. "It's a good environment. A day game, too.
"You come to Chicago and Wrigley Field, even as a Marlin I enjoyed coming here a long time ago. So it's fun to get out and play against these guys on their field in their stadium."
Soriano's homer was the 379th of his career, tying him with Orlando Cepeda and Tony Perez for 64th on the all-time list.
But it was the Pirates doing almost all the hitting, as they gave Burnett some rare run support: They had scored three runs or less in six of his previous seven starts.
"The last couple times we haven't given him many runs," Alvarez said. "I don't care how good you are, it's always nice to pitch with some runs behind you."
The Pirates tagged Cubs starter Jeff Samardzija (3-7) for eight hits, including Alvarez's two-run home run in the fourth, his team-high 13th of the year. The right-hander struck out seven and walked one in six innings.
"The splitter was up all day today," Samardzija said. "(They) got a couple of hits off of it. Alvarez's home run was off of it.
"They took advantage of (the splitter) up in the zone and they made me pay."
Martin's homer, a two-run shot in the eighth off reliever Hector Rondon, was the 100th of his career.
The Pirates jumped on Samardzija for a run in the second on Garrett Jones' double and Alvarez's one-out RBI single. Pittsburgh added a run in the third when Starling Marte ended a streak of 14 hitless at-bats with a single, stole second and came in on Travis Snider's single.
Alvarez homered to right field after Martin led off with a walk in the fourth to increase the Pirates' lead to 4-0.
In the eighth, Martin sent a 3-2 pitch by Rondon into the seats in left for a two-out home run after Andrew McCutchen had drawn a walk.
Pittsburgh beat Chicago for the fifth straight time and handed the Cubs their fifth loss in the last six games overall.
"It's hard to see those guys play the way they play and we cannot play like that," Soriano said. "Especially, we got shut out yesterday. I don't want it to happen today again. At least he didn't throw a shutout."
- Pittsburgh RHP Jeff Karstens, on the disabled list since March 26 with a shoulder inflammation, had surgery Friday on his right rotator cuff and labrum in Los Angeles. He'll be able to begin a rehab process in 10 to 12 weeks.
- The Pirates placed RHP Jared Hughes on the 15-day disabled list with a throwing shoulder inflammation and recalled OF Alex Presley from Triple-A Indianapolis. Presley had been sent down Monday when Hughes was called up. Hughes has returned to Pittsburgh for more evaluation.
- Cubs pitcher Kyuji Fuikawa, who went on the 60-day DL May 27 with a muscular strain in his right forearm, is expected to have surgery Tuesday after an exam on Monday.
- Cubs SS Starlin Castro, dropped from second to seventh in the order on June 4, continued to struggle. He went 0 for 3 and is mired in a 3-for-34 slump.
- Sunday's pitchers: Pittsburgh left-hander Jeff Locke (5-1, 2.45) vs. Chicago right-hander Edwin Jackson (1-8, 6.29).

Imagine taking a very long 10-month journey with someone you've just recently met! The assembly team successfully introduced the Mars Science Laboratory rover to one of its space travel partners. For the first time, it was coupled with its "descent stage," the part of the spacecraft that lowers the rover to the Martian surface.
Up until now, thousands of hands and minds have been making sure this pairing is a perfect fit… on paper. The intricate parts of the rover and descent stage have all separately undergone some serious testing. Now that they're stacked together, their teams can see how they fit together in real life. With this match-making a success, the rover and descent stage will be joined with the protective case (the "aeroshell") for more testing. But, these pieces aren't staying together forever! They'll be separated, checked, and assembled many more times before finally coming together just before launch.
