The trick to the perfect spa in Calhoun MO 65323 is to know exactly what you want and need, and then put in the time to research which spa or hot tub construction is right for your needs.
If you are looking to purchase a brand new hot tub or spa for your garden in Calhoun MO 65323 you need to make sure you make the right choice. With so many different models and name brands to select from in Calhoun MO, you will want to make sure that you do your research before you purchase anything as it will be a big investment for a long time .
In our spa and hot tub Calhoun MO review we will show you the top models that are out along with a wide range of prices so that you can find one that fits your needs and budget.
Hot tubs or spas are high end home items. Their cost can range from several hundred to several thousand dollars. Buying the wrong spa or hot tub is something that you want to avoid at all costs. Knowing what features to consider when out shopping for one, will help you make the right purchase decision.
First, decide whether you want a hard shell hot tub or spa or an inflatable one. Inflatable spas or hot tubs tend weigh about 100 pounds and be portable. Portability is helpful when moving from one address to another or when the hot tub or spa needs to be moved within the property, as would have to happen because of a season or weather change.
If you buy a hard shell hot tub, make sure that the shell has no faults. Fiberglass or solid foam offer better durability and insulation. The most desirable hot tubs or spas have a high level of UV resistance which makes them better able to cope to adverse weather conditions.
Above-ground spas should have a cabinet that is low maintenance and aesthetically pleasing. Cabinets are generally made of wood or wood imitation material. The walls of the cabinet should be easily removable for fast servicing and the frame construction in the interior should be adequate.
All indoor hot tubs have heaters that range in power from 1.5 to 11.5 kilo Watts. The more powerful the heater, the faster it will heat up the water, but also the more energy it will consume. Look for heaters with elements that wrap around the water pipes as these are considered safer.
The number, configuration and type of seats is another important feature. There should be adequate seating for everyone who plans to use the hot tub or spa. In addition, the control panel should be easily reachable from one or more seats. Experts generally recommend to actually sit in the spa or hot tub in order to check the water depth and the leg room it provides. Bring a bathing suit in case the option to dip in a running spa, prior to purchase, is being offered by the store you have visited.
Water jets are another important consideration, spas can have from a single jet to more than one hundred. If you are planning to use the hot tub or spa for therapeutic reasons, the jets should be placed in adequate locations to massage your back and other body parts. The water jet tub action should also be adjustable either by rotating the water jet itself or by programming or controlling the spas or hot tubs controls.
Most outdoor hot tubs use cartridge filters that require hosing out about once every 30 days or so. The pump should be easy to access in case of troubleshooting. Its noise level should be at tolerable levels so that complaints from neighbors are avoided. Its location within the spa is also important as it will impact the ease of cleaning.
Check how the outdoor spas are insulated. Insulation often consists of a solid layer of rigid foam around the under-structure. Although this reduces noise, it often makes servicing more difficult. Layered insulation, on the other hand, although as effective at reducing noise levels, is also more convenient when the spa needs to be serviced.
Finally, do not purchase a outdoor hot tubs that does not include a cover. Covers, in addition to keeping the water clean, are also a safety feature. A securely locking cover can offer the best protection for children and pets that may play around the hot tub area. Since covers can often weigh between 150 to 200 pounds, it is advised invest in a cover lifter as lifting a cover without this feature can be a cumbersome task.
Buying a hot tub or spa in Calhoun MO 65323 is often as serious as buying a new automobile. It is important to think about comfort, economy and safety carefully, before settling on a particular brand and model.

This product is designed for adults and is not to be worn by individuals under the age of 18. Good health practice requires that a person with a hearing loss have a medical evaluation by a licensed physician (preferably a physician who specializes in diseases of the ear) before purchasing a hearing aid. Licensed physicians who specialize in diseases of the ear are often referred to as Otolaryngologists, Otologists, or Otorhinolaryngologists. The purpose of a medical evaluation is to assure that all medically treatable conditions that may affect hearing are identified and treated before the hearing aid is purchased.
Following the medical evaluation, the physician will give you a written statement that states that your hearing loss has been evaluated medically and that you may be considered a candidate for a hearing aid. The physician may refer you to an audiologist or a hearing aid dispenser, as appropriate, for a hearing aid evaluation.
The audiologist or hearing aid dispenser will conduct a hearing aid evaluation to assess your ability to hear with and without a hearing aid. The hearing aid evaluation will enable the audiologist or dispenser to select and fit a hearing aid to your individual needs.
If you have reservations about your ability to adapt to amplification, you should inquire about the availability of a trial-rental or purchase option program. Many hearing aid dispensers now offer programs that permit you to wear a hearing aid for a period of time for a nominal fee after which you may decide if you want to purchase the hearing aid.
Federal law restricts the sale of hearing aids to those individuals who have obtained a medical evaluation from a licensed physician. Federal law permits a fully informed adult to sign a waiver statement declining the medical evaluation for religious or personal beliefs that preclude consultation with a physician. The exercise of such a waiver is not in your best health interest and its use is strongly discouraged.
Please click here to read the User Instructional Brochure (UIB) [PDF] before purchasing this product.
Additional assistance can be obtained by calling 1.877.763.8327, where operators will be glad to answer any questions about the product and review the UIB and medical waiver with you.
Policies & plans
Each device comes with a full 1-year warranty that starts on the date the instrument is originally shipped from the factory. General Hearing Warranty Plus will repair or replace the hearing instrument if the quality inspection proves it to be defective in workmanship or materials. The warranty does not apply if the product is damaged due to misuse, abuse or if opened or serviced by an unauthorized lab.

By Patricia Sheridan Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
She comes from two football dynasties, the Pittsburgh Steelers and the New York Giants, but actress Kate Mara won't say which she favors.
Steelers owner Art Rooney Sr. was her great-grandfather on her mother's side.
Her father's family owns the Giants.
Her younger sister, Rooney Mara, earned an Oscar nomination for "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo."
The 30-year-old Kate Mara is burning up the small screen on Netflix's "House of Cards."
She has appeared in the films "We Are Marshall" and "Brokeback Mountain" and is in "Transcendence" with Johnny Depp, coming out in April.
Season two of "House of Cards" will be available Feb. 14 on Netflix.
Q. "House of Cards" is addictive. When you took the role, did you sense it was going to be so popular?
A. When I take a role, I don't necessarily think of it in that way. I was just thrilled to be working with David Fincher and the cast. You know, Kevin Spacey and Robin Wright are two people that I've always wanted to work with. The expectation of it doing well and that sort of thing was just the cherry on top. It could have failed miserably, and sure that would be disappointing, but the experience of working with those people and the challenge of that is really why I got involved.
Q. You have been acting since you were 9, so what do you get out of it?
A. I mean, it's the only thing that I ever wanted to do. When I realized I could pursue my passion and get paid for it, there was nothing else I ever wanted to do. I was a very, very shy child, and acting was an escape for me. I think a lot of actors say that. At the time, I was much more comfortable pretending to be other people than being myself. Acting really helped me get out of my shell. I wouldn't necessarily call myself shy now, but it was a real problem for me as a child.
Q. So it was like therapy.
A. Yeah, I mean, auditioning for things and having to be comfortable meeting new people all the time. It was an amazing learning experience.
Q. Do you remember the first audition that had you shaking in your boots?
A. One of my first auditions ever was for the television show "Homicide: Life on the Streets." I think I was like 14 or something. I remember it because I think it was the first thing besides theater that I auditioned for. I really wasn't familiar with movies or television or anything like that. I wasn't used to being in front of a camera. It was very emotional, of course. All those shows are (laughs). I didn't get the job, but I did get the bug as soon as I left that audition.
Q. Are you as comfortable doing the whole talk show circuit or is that a different animal for you?
A. Yeah, for sure, those things make me very, very nervous. You get used to it and you definitely get better at it, you know, as you do more and more. You are supposed to be performing but as yourself. It feels exposing. I'm certainly not a comedian. You are supposed to have funny anecdotes and funny stories about the set and that feels like a lot of pressure to me. I would much rather go on and be playing somebody else. That would be much more appealing to me.
Q. You have played a lot of characters over the years. Were there any that you just didn't really like?
A. Honestly, no. Nothing comes to mind, and it's not as though I've only played likable people. I was on "American Horror Story" and played a very unlikable character (laughing). But I had the best time playing her. I don't find it super-appealing to just play likable characters. I am interested in doing all of it, and it doesn't bother me to think an audience is probably not going to like me very much. If they don't and you are playing an unlikable character, well, you are just doing your job well.
Q. So how do you describe your character on "House of Cards?"
A. I would describe Zoe Barnes as a very, very strong-willed, ambitious, ballsy reporter who is very smart but also has a lot of growing up to do. She is still finding her way in the world in all aspects of life. We basically shoot two episodes at a time.
Q. Do you feel you know a character better the longer you get to play her?
A. Um, I don't know. I guess so. I look at "House of Cards" the same way I look at doing a character in a movie. It doesn't feel that different. I feel a little more spoiled because I get 13 hours to play this character and show different pieces of her, so that's very cool.
Q. Any sibling rivalry, especially with Rooney?
A. (Laughing) I think it excites people to hear about sibling rivalry because a lot of people with siblings have some sort of rivalry. I don't think of my sister as somebody I am competing with. She and I are only two years apart, so growing up we were best of friends and then we weren't and then we were playing together constantly. You grow up a little bit and you fight a lot, and then you don't. I mean, it was normal, really close family stuff. When it comes to acting, there is nobody more supportive of me than my sister. I feel the same way towards her. I know I could call her about anything. For me it is special to have that because I didn't for so long. My sister didn't start acting until a good seven years later. She moved out to L.A. with me and started acting. So I had a large chunk of time where I was really doing it on my own, and no one else in my family had ever been through it before. We can really share the ups and downs.
Q. Your family business is football. I know you don't admit to a favorite team, but do you remember times when the Steelers played the Giants and you got together with your Rooney cousins?
A. People always want me to choose a side, but I don't have to. It's not a problem for me and my siblings. It's not as if the Giants and Steelers are playing each other very often. When they do play each other, it's really, really exciting. There is a lot of cheering because we don't really know who to cheer for (laughs). It's been a while since I went to a Giants/ Steelers game. I think I was working somewhere and wasn't able to go to the last one. But there is nothing more magical and surreal than having both sides of my family in the stadium watching two Super Bowl teams playing each other. Very few people can relate to that. So yeah, it is a very unique thing to experience with my family.

The problem is that when we see that girl and "1983" we have no immediate reason to associate the two. Because we can't tell at all how old she is, because all Randall drew was a stick figure with some hair. Hell, it looks more like some guys I know than a girl. Apparently she's 26, but she might as well be 12 or 42 or 8 or 90 for all we can tell. That's why it's so hard to figure out what's going on until you use just some cold hard comedic deduction.
Even so, I still don't like it. It's the same sort of stupid playing with words that you get from sentences like "this is the first day of the rest of your life" or that dinosaur comic about a time machine that moves at one second per second. And when I read the alt-text ("She also starts every letter with 'Dear Future
But I do have one thing that is nice to say about today's comic: Usually, Randall Munroe only has nice things to say about girls and only portrays them in a totally positive, cool, interesting, funny, sarcastic, etc, light. This is so that real-life girls will like him more. But today, he called a girl annoying! Maybe not in so many words, but it's there. So that's nice to see.

Impressions on the Paris Linux Expo
I have written a report of my experiences at the KDE booth of the Paris Linux Expo 2002. "Then I saw this magic thing: A live coding session by a truly talented KDE core developer: David took his laptop and started coding under my eyes. In five minutes, it was done: the "URL" label on Konqueror would accept a pasted URL and simply open it. Really great! He did that again on the next day, when a visitor asked for the domtree plugin to support copy/paste of every branch." You can also view photos of the event thanks to Laurent Rathle, webmaster of the excellent kde-france.org site.
Glad you did better than the US
We where lucky that we could borrow enough equiptment to do a demo.
DCOP was a big hit along with webdav support. The X guys even gave us two thumbs up for the use of XRender. The only saveing grace about the show was we did get a significant amount of traffic, and most systems there seemed to be running KDE.
Granted I was only there on Wednesday, so things may have gotten better but everyone please give Mandrake Software and the Etherboot guys a big hand for bailing us out and helping us get on the network and provideing a power supply for my laptop so I could do the dcop demos.
Maby SuSE and TT will be there next year, but I wont hold my breath....
By Ian Reinhart Geiser at Sat, 2002/02/02 - 6:00am
Re: Glad you did better than the US
Whoa, the big 2 SuSE and TT weren't there? Not good.
On the other hand, I am pleased to hear that KDE dominated on the desktops. This is a step forward for the US!
By KDE User at Sat, 2002/02/02 - 6:00am
Re: Glad you did better than the US
The US? ??
There are other countrys in existance apart from the US with KDE developers.
By Bob the Bulder at Mon, 2002/02/04 - 6:00am
Re: Glad you did better than the US
Gerunds are commonly formed with an "ing", thus "fucking" rather than "fuckin". The proper pluralization of "countrys" is "countries". Nationalities are capitalized in english, thus "american" is incorrect and should be "American".
Now that we have established /your/ ignorance, I believe the individual was referring to the subject of this thread and merely stating that he was glad that the recent convention in the USA had some positive factors to its credit.
By Evan "JabberWok... at Mon, 2002/02/04 - 6:00am
Re: Glad you did better than the US
To be precise we established his ignorance concerning american (English?) language. To be fair we should need to know how his english compares to your second or third language. This is anyway off topic, yes his manners were all but appropriate, yes most americans confuse USA border lines with the world ones.
By renato at Tue, 2002/02/05 - 6:00am
Re: Glad you did better than the US
:: To be fair we should need to know how his english compares to your second or third language.
English is my second (third, if you count Latin) language. And my fifth is moving along quite nicely.
:: his manners were all but appropriate
Agreed - he slammed someone for a quite possibly misinterpreted statement. My take on the statement was quite different - that of an individual giving praise to all concerned (look at the subject of the thread to see why he would have made an encouraging, positive statement about the US based LinuxWorld).
:: most americans confuse USA border lines with the world ones.
Having lived in the USA for quite awhile now, I have not seen any more ignorance than any other country has... merely the common contradictory "we're the best/people are dumb" sentiment held throughout the world. The uneducated of every country are (due no doubt to a variant of Murphy's celebrated law) often the loudest and thus very embarrasing. Sure American media is dominated by American issues. I doubt that any news agency anywhere runs updates on landslides on Mons Olympus. Luckily, there are NHK and BBC radio streams if you want news with your choice of regional focus.
Regardless, this *IS* off-topic. My email is available if you wish to discuss this. I only responded because of the vicious nature of the reply to what appeared to me to be a positive statement. I'll always come to the defense of a good-intentioned person who is being harassed.
By Evan "JabberWok... at Tue, 2002/02/05 - 6:00am
Re: Glad you did better than the US
On Thursday Jonathan ran KDE on his G4 laptop. That and Christopher Molnar's machine generated a significant amount of interest.
Immediately after the first wave of conferences got out on Thursday morning (around 10:30am), the booth got very busy. George, Jonathan and I were kept busy answering questions much of the time. Traffic was very high and didn't relent until close to 6pm. I think it went pretty well!
I'm definitely interested in doing NYC Linuxworld next year. However, I'll help make damn certain we have a proper booth setup. Next year if the following print collateral isn't designed and available I'll make it:
- Brochures. People were often looking for these, and they're great to bring back to the boss.
I'd be interested to know how Friday went.
By Sean Pecor at Sat, 2002/02/02 - 6:00am
Re: Glad you did better than the US
Yes we definitely have to have those things. It was almost embarassing. Especially since Ximian/Gnome bought out as much of the good realestate at the show as they could. I got a real "talking-to" by the HP guys because of our lack of promotion at the show, and in general in North America. Most of the people at the show preferred KDE to Gnome or other desktops, but we just don't seem to have any working promotional infrastructure in North America.
We also need to have:
- Decent hardware
Sean: Friday was busy and it was amazing when it just "suddenly" ended at 4:00 and I realized that I had missed lunch! The KDE booth was particularily busy with some guys keeping me talking for as much as an hour straight.
I'll try to send out an email to the list(s) about all the development and non-development issues that were mentioned to me on Thursday and Friday.

Next european linux meeting?
Which is the next planned linux meeting where KDE will have a booth?
By Gioele at Sat, 2002/02/02 - 6:00am
Re: Next european linux meeting?
Many (well some) KDE developers will be at FOSDEM, a free and open software developer meeting in Brussels, Belgium, the weekend of 16/17 February.
By Rob Kaper at Sat, 2002/02/02 - 6:00am
Re: Next european linux meeting?
Always remember older booths and try to learn something on what could be improved. Follow this simple rule and the next booth will even be better :-)
Sean Pecor said (see above) already a few good things that could be done at FOSDEM. If time is too short to arrange them for FOSDEM, just use them for the booth after that.
Something different:
Everybody happy... the user gets his KDE, KDE gets more users, and the distro that helped us gets attention too
By Andy "Storm" Go... at Sun, 2002/02/03 - 6:00am
Re: Next european linux meeting?
FOSDEM is somewhat different: it's not a regular exhibition, it's a meeting by and for developers only. So the booth (if any) will have a larger social function and less of a promotional purpose.
By Rob Kaper at Sun, 2002/02/03 - 6:00am
Re: Next european linux meeting?
Yes, we should probably keep a page somewhere relating how to make a successful booth, with things that will draw attention from the visitors and give them some incentive to get concerned about KDE.
Gerard had many copies of a sheet of paper presenting briefly the project and asking help for translation. All people would first take the sheet and read, and then come to us to speak. Or they would stop to read the paper and then I would come to talk to them. Else, they probably wouldn't have stopped. So having a small brochure is very helpful.
The big K poster and the T-shirts were visible and attracted people too. We should not hide. :-)
We had no demo of advanced feature, but we should definitely prepare something for the FOSDEM. We will have to show Gnome and GnuStep developers what you can do with an "advanced" desktop!
By Philippe Fremy at Sun, 2002/02/03 - 6:00am
Re: Next european linux meeting?
We will have to show Gnome and GnuStep developers what you can do with an "advanced" desktop!
So you are going start coding for Gnome? Dont you like KDE "Kiddy Desktop Environment"?
KDE looks slick acts sick. Once KDE 3.0 is released you can wait 6 months later and KDE 4.0 will show up. KDE is only good as a KDE development tool. Maybe someday you will realize that Bob Businessperson "ME" sees this as a put-off. We see once every three years with MS as a pain. KDE will Kill KDE. Overwork your maintainers and they will quit. Stay a moving target and business people wont even look at you.
By Bob at Sun, 2002/02/03 - 6:00am
Re: Next european linux meeting?
Sorry, but your arguments don't make much sense. It doesn't matter if KDE versions are released fairly often, since binary compatibility between running desktops is maintained (given that you have compatibility libraries installed).
Also, the time span between releases is several years, not six months. About the same time span exists between major releases of GNOME and GnuStep as well, and only a slightly larger one (about 50% larger) between major sub-releases of the Linux kernel, and major releases of XFree86.
KDE really isn't a moving target, and it certainly is useful as more then a KDE development tool; I use it for several hours every day, typing code for various projects in various languages (Konsole is a godsend), browsing the net with Konqi, listening to music, etc.
Constructive critisicm is good, but please back up your arguments some more.
By Carbon at Mon, 2002/02/04 - 6:00am
Re: Next european linux meeting?
Sorry Sir, but you're very wrong here..
At my previous job, all the developers came to work were from Windows world, and not a single developer knew about Linux..
I installed to them 2 demo machines - both machines with Red Hat 7.2 - one of them is running Gnome & one is running KDE (and KDevelop). Guess which desktop enviroments they wanted on their 60 workstations? (KDE)
I told the management that KDE is a very fast developing desktop enviroment - but it will be fully backward compatible - they took it with open hands.
So I really don't get your point, sir...

What about CeBIT Hannover, Germany, 13.-20.03.2002 (the world's largest computer show, http://www.cebit.de)?
Maybe the KDE team could prepare an arrangement with SuSE?
I am there. Maybe for two days as last year...;-)

Love the Logo with Konqi
KDE 3 logo looks kool in those T-Shirts. Knew Konqi is the mascot of KDE but not seen it in KDE much more than Kandalf the wizard.
By Asif Ali Rizwaan at Sat, 2002/02/02 - 6:00am
Re: Love the Logo with Konqi
I love those t-shirts as well. Just a question. Couldn't it be possible to buy t-shirts to support the KDE-project. I saw on the pics that a shirt was 13 euros. So I say ... I give 30 euros to the kde-project ... can I get one of those T-shirts? (Yes I know I could do some shirt-printing myself .. it is just an idea ...)
ps I live in The Netherlands ... so if it could be done ... let me know :-0
Any ideas or suggestions or even plans ... shout it out ...
ps ps I like this jpeg as well >> see attachment or http://www.kde-look.org/content/preview.php?file=72-1.jpg
Could look nice as a logo on a shirt .. it symbolizes nicely the status of KDE .. IT'S HOT !!
By Fab at Sun, 2002/02/03 - 6:00am
Re: Love the Logo with Konqi
If they are for sale on FOSDEM, I can bring one back with me to the Netherlands. Or you could come to Brussels yourself, you wouldn't be the only dutchman.
By Rob Kaper at Sun, 2002/02/03 - 6:00am
Re: Love the Logo with Konqi
Thanks to Gerard Delafond for the pain of printing the t-shirts and other stuff! It's quite humourous to have the CVS splash on a T-shirt! :)

KDE's fortunate to have David Faure on the team
This paragraph really jumps out from Philippe's discussion:
Discussing with David Faure, I told him about some complaints I had about Konqueror : the profile setting should be in the settings menu and the URL bar should accept URL drop by replacing the current URL. Then I saw this magic thing: A live coding session by a true talented KDE core devloper : David took his laptop and started coding under my eyes. In five minutes, it was done: the "URL" label would accept url and just open them. Really great! He did that again on the next day, when a visitor asked for the domtree plugin to support copy/paste of every branch. Really great.

Re: KDE's fortunate to have David Faure on the team
What is reassuring is that he hasn't done anything I wasn't able to do. He just did that a lot quicker.
It helps when you know your application and most of the KDE API.

The T-shirts
Glad everybody loves my t-shirts. :-)
I made about 40 of them, all sold or given to the KDE team.
If you want a similar T-shirt, you just need to download it, print it on a transfer paper and iron it on a blank t-shirt.
There is nothing organized internationally, this is just a savage and individual work of the french team.
By Gerard Delafond at Sun, 2002/02/03 - 6:00am
Re: The T-shirts
That's why this a maybe an idea ... Maybe we can find an T-shirt printer webshop who decides to make KDE-shirts and give a portion back to the kde project.
Or .... maybe there should be a some talking about logistics and funding for this kind of promo material. I personnaly think this could be done by people who are not programmers but end users of the KDE project who would like to contribute besides translating or mouth-to-mouth advertising.
There is enough artistic material that could be used to make some nice shirts or so .... Maybe some people of KDE promo could seriously look at this idea ...

Re: The T-shirts
Actually...on www.kde.org I found there's a guy selling KDE T-shirts but what was more interesting is that everyone can do it.
He's using http://www.cafepress.com service that alows anyone to upload their images for T-shirts or whatever merchandise they want and they do the rest (print, process, ship and send the cheques). The service itself is free. Every item has a base price that covers their expenses, but of course you are free to raise it. Difference is a profit that they send you.
So, with help of kde-artists and kde-league, you could set up a risk-free promotional shop for KDE that could make a buck or two for the project.

The problem with cafepress.com is that they are US based, so shipping to Europe is:

Re: The T-shirts
Not only that, importing T-Shirts (or, as the customs people said, 'cotton products') can cause you some problems: there are certain limitations on importing 'cotton products' into the EU, the taxes are high and you may have go personally to the customs office and sign some declaration of the cotton's origin. Not using a business address when ordering them seems to help though.
By Anynomous One at Mon, 2002/02/04 - 6:00am
Re: The T-shirts
OK. But it would be nice if there was a collection of images that was suited for printing on T-shirts. Then it would be up to an individual to take care of how to get that on a T-shirt.
Right now, if you are like me without an artistic talent, you have only few choices. Either you buy an old T-shirt with KDE1 design or you can take that posted picture and have it printed on T-shirt. Although the picture itself is very nice, I feel a bit odd to announce that KDE is coming to a desktop near me, if it's already on every computer around me. So a collection like that would be great.
It would be even better if KDE project could get something back...
By Marko Samastur at Mon, 2002/02/04 - 6:00am
Re: The T-shirts
I just changed my wallpaper :-) Can't wait to switch to KDE 3...
I know this picture is used in the CVS KSplash but now I can see it on my KDE 2. I wanted to try Beta 2 but this pc is low on speed and disk space :-( The binaries would be helpful, but I'm using RedHat (until the new Mandrake comes out) and they don't provide the beta rpms. :-(

Funding of PR-stuff
Hey guys,
i read this site only randomly, so maybe what I have to say is already outdated:
Is there a possibility for normal KDE-Users to help you guys at the booths by funding, say, some posters or PR-stuff like Promo-CDs and stuff like that?

Re: Funding of PR-stuff
You do not need to be a developer to manage a KDE booth. Lof of visitors do not know exactly what KDE is, or have a specific interest and only want to see how KDE matches it. So being a concerned user is far enough to answer many questions. After, for the specific development question, you can redirect the visitor to a developer.
So yes, you can help the KDE booth by simply being there, giving ideas, bringing some demonstration material, bringing some equipment, sharing your successful experience with KDE, encourage people to switch, promote free software, explain what benefit helping KDE could bring, ...

When You Reach Pure Awareness You Will Have No Problems
Hi Brad!
I don't even really "get" Twitter. I'm not sure just what you're supposed to do with it. The best stuff I've seen there has been funny one-liners like Shit My Dad Says or my friend Precious Veal. She's a hoot!
A lot of "spiritual" type guys are on Twitter these days throwing out little sound bytes of spirituality. But I doubt there's anything truly worthwhile in the realm of spiritual practice that can be reduced to 140 characters.
Of course, having said that I also have to mention that there is a tradition in Zen of so-called "turning words." These are short phrases that, when heard by just the right person at just the right time, have a profound effect. One such phrase that often gets quoted is, "From birth to death it's just like this." A lot of the koans end with "turning words." For me, hearing the phrase "form is emptiness, emptiness is form" really blew my head right off when I was about 18 years old.
But I seriously doubt that a Twitter feed is the best way to disseminate "turning words." It's not like those ancient Zen guys subscribed to a service that would sling random "turning words" at them from multiple sources of varying quality at a rate of four to six an hour popping up on their cell phones among fart jokes from drive time DJs and news about Paris Hilton's latest Brazilian wax job. It was a different sort of thing altogether.
I've responded to a couple of Deepak's tweets already. But one came up last night that I think really needs to be addressed in detail.
Right at the outset I want to emphasize that this is not about the man Mr. Deepak Chopra himself. It's about what he tweeted. It's not even about everything he tweets. It's about this one specific tweet. I don't know enough about Mr. Chopra to criticize him as a human being or even as a brand. I know he's got a comic book series and a bunch of TV shows and even a video game. As dubious as the spiritual applications of these things seem to me, I'm not even all that fussed about them. If someone wanted to make a graphic novel or a video game out of Hardcore Zen, I'd probably do it. So this isn't about that.
It's about what Mr. Chopra says in his tweet. And what he says is this:
When you reach pure awareness you will have no problems, therefore there will be no need for solutions.
Let's analyze that for a minute.
When (in the future, not now) you (who exist now and will continue to exist in the future) reach (whatever you imagine to be) pure awareness you (who exist now and will continue to exist in the future) will have (in the future) no problems (for your self), therefore there will be (in the future, not now) no need for (you to have) solutions (and won't that be wonderful, over there, past that hill, just out of sight, let me sell you a way to get there).
If it were only Deepak Chopra who believed this, it wouldn't really matter much. But this is how pretty much everyone approaches meditation practice and it's why meditation practice seems to fail those people. It is certainly how I myself thought of practice for a very long time. I wanted something for myself. I might have even thought of what I wanted to get in terms of "pure awareness." I read enough shitty books that used shitty phrases like that.
There is no pure awareness for you.
That might sound harsh. But really it's not. What you are can never enter that place. Because you are the subject that sees things in terms of objects. Joshu Sasaki put it like this in his book Buddha is the Center of Gravity; "The God that is standing in front of you as an object says, 'I am your God.' But he is not. Even if that God has great power, he is not the real God."
Pure awareness, whatever that is, or God (my preferred term), cannot be the object of you, cannot be the possession of you, it isn't in your future, it isn't something you can ever possibly reach. It will not solve all of your problems. It couldn't even if it wanted to. It's a fantastic dream that can never come true.
This doesn't mean everything is bleak and horrible and hopeless. It just means that approaching it in terms of you and the things you want to get cannot possibly work. It can't work precisely because thinking of things in terms of you and what you want to get is exactly the thing that blocks it.
The attitude expressed in Mr. Chopra's tweet sits right at the very epicenter of where things have gone wrong for mankind. It is the source of all of our troubles. The solution to what's wrong in the world is not some distant dream of pure awareness. It's the understanding that what exists right now is pure awareness, is God, whether you know it or not. We, who seek to know it and possess it, are the very thing that makes it so hard to understand that.
A couple of blogs ago Broken Yogi made a comment that, "Brad is mixing categories. I can't pole vault 18 feet like a top Olympic athlete, but I doubt that athlete would call me physically ill because I can't do that... Likewise, I'm not enlightened, but I'm not spiritually lame either."
In response I said something like, "Enlightenment (I hate that word) isn't like pole vaulting 18 feet. It's more like walking to the bathroom, if we were to continue that analogy. Most people, instead of walking to the bathroom, which (let's say) just happens to be 18 feet away instead try to pole vault to the bathroom. And they can't do it because the ceiling is too low. Yet they try anyway and keep injuring themselves. The pole keeps breaking, they keep hitting their heads, they keep beating themselves up over not being able to do it, and they still have to pee. The only thing an enlightened person (I hate that term) does differently is that she walks straight to the bathroom, does her business and then goes back to bed."
Enlightenment or pure awareness or God or whatever isn't some complicated thing we have to chase after far, far away. It's the chasing itself that gets in our way. We wear ourselves out running in circles to try to arrive at the place we already are.

By ordering a test called a lipid panel for your child, the doctor is taking a look at the different kinds of fats in the blood. While many parents don't think about the level of their child's cholesterol, high levels are known to be contributors to heart disease and strokes. Doctors take a close look at lipid panels in kids because heart disease has been shown to develop in childhood.
A lipid panel measures:
The lipid panel checks the lipid levels in blood, which can indicate a person's risk for heart disease or atherosclerosis (a hardening, narrowing, or blockage of the arteries).
Some experts think that high cholesterol in kids is a major under-reported public health problem. So it's important to be aware of your child's cholesterol levels, especially if either parent has high cholesterol.
Lipid levels can be affected by fat in the diet. Your child should avoid eating fatty foods the evening before the test. Unless otherwise instructed by your doctor, your child shouldn't eat or drink anything other than water after midnight the night before the test. Failing to do so could affect the test results.
Your child should also avoid any exercise 12 to 14 hours before the test. Check with your doctor to see if you should discontinue any medications your child is taking until after the test is done.
On the day of the test, it may help to have your child wear a T-shirt or short-sleeved shirt to allow easier access for the technician who will be drawing the blood.
Blood will be taken from a vein. After the skin surface is cleaned with antiseptic, an elastic band (tourniquet) is placed around the upper arm to apply pressure and cause the veins to swell with blood. A needle is inserted into a vein (usually in the arm inside of the elbow or the back of the hand) and blood is withdrawn and collected in an airtight vial or syringe. During the procedure, the elastic band is removed.
Once the blood has been collected, the needle is gently removed and the puncture site covered with cotton or a bandage to stop the bleeding. Collecting blood for this test will only take a few minutes.
Collecting a sample of blood is only temporarily uncomfortable and feels like a slight pinprick. Afterward, there may be some minor bruising, which should go away in a few days.
Test results should be available within a few days to a week. Your doctor will want to discuss the results and any concerns with you.
Obtaining a blood test such as a lipid panel test is considered safe. However, as with many medical tests, some problems can occur with having blood drawn, like:
Having a blood test is relatively painless. Still, many children are afraid of needles. Explaining the test in terms your child can understand might help ease some of the fear.
Allow your child to ask the technician any questions he or she might have. Tell your child to try to relax and stay still during the procedure, as tensing muscles and moving can make it harder and more painful to draw blood. It also may help for your child to look away when the needle is being inserted into the skin.
If you have questions about the lipid panel test, speak with your doctor. You also can talk to the technician before the procedure.

No one knows the high and lows of the market (and life) better than Bill Miller. The famed fund manager's Legg Mason Capital Management Value Trust (LMNVX) outperformed the S&P 500 for 15 years straight. But 2008 caused the deepest of cuts.
His value instincts meant he placed hefty bets on housing and now-defunct Wall Street names, and the fund sharply underperformed in 2006, 2007 and 2008. Calls for his firing were soon heard, but how, and with whom, do you replace Bill Miller?
Although he did eventually relinquish the reins of Value Trust to co-manager Sam Peters, he continued on with Legg Mason's Opportunity Trust (LGOAX), and now, proving you can't keep a good manager down, he's once again back on top—at least according to The Wall Street Journal.
The paper reports that for the third straight quarter, Opportunity Trust finished first in The Wall Street Journal's ranking of diversified U.S.-stock mutual funds with more than $50 million in assets and at least a three-year record.
Just how good is it? Its year-to-date annualized return as of July 10 is 35.21%; its 1-year annualized return is 64.34% and its 3-year annualized return is 14.22%. Whether he can sustain such returns long term, of course, is yet to be seen, but it's quite a start.
Miller's strategy is more of the same. The Journal notes "the fund has excelled in the past year using a common strategy: buying shares whose prices are significantly discounted by the market because of doubts about the businesses' future. As the outlook for such companies improves, Miller says, 'the gains come as they move to where they should have been, based on those fundamentals.'"
Best Buy Co. (BBY) and Netflix (NFLX) are two holdings largely responsible for the fund's outperformance. Miller and co-manager Samantha McLemore had added both to their portfolio before those stocks began their runs.
"Gains from these shares and other outperformers left the $1.3 billion Legg Mason fund with a gain of 55.1% for the 12 months through June and a first-half return of 31.6%," the paper says.

Advisors, be very wary of what you read about annuities, for it may be devoid of any meaning.
That warning comes from Moshe Milevsky, pictured, just back from a visit to England, where he poured through dusty documents in the British National Archives, examining the actuarial assumptions of the life annuities issued by the Chancellor of the Exchequer in the 17th and 18th centuries.
While he saw evidence of mispricing that accrued to the disadvantage of the Royal Treasury, when AdvisorOne caught up with him the subject of discussion was today's sensationalized characterization of annuities as products of unremitting evil or of unsurpassed virtue.
Back in London's Globe Theatre, such assessments are typically uttered by "a poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage and then is heard no more."
Too often, according to Macbeth or Milevsky, "it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury signifying nothing."
For a little wisdom — make that a lot of wisdom — on understanding retirement income, the York University finance professor and Research magazine contributor cautioned that advisors (and financial journalists even more) should pay particular attention to the first mention of annuities in an article or discussion.
"That opening sentence has got to be clarified before you can have an intelligent conversation about it," said Milevsky (right), speaking by phone from his office in Toronto.
"Are you talking about a pension that you put money into to get an income out of…or an equity-indexed annuity that functions like a savings account?" he asks, noting there are six or seven types of products that regulators, lawyers and journalists all refer to as annuities but which to economists are all different.
"Imagine if someone came to you asked you, "Do you think 'funds' are a good idea?" — the first of many hilarious analogies that emanate from the professor like water flows down Niagara Falls.
What kind of funds — stock funds, bond funds — and what kind of stock fund and whose stock fund, an advisor would respond. "That's what's happening," Milevsky laments.
"It's like saying all mortgages are bad," noting the plethora of high-rate, low-rate, floating-rate, teaser-rate products available. "You can't just condemn an entire industry."
He notes that the popular financial columnist Jane Bryant Quinn was outspoken in her hostility to "annuities" for years and years until she discovered an annuity product she praised as being good.
"Words matter. Let's call some pensions and some variable annuities," Milevsky intones, noting the significant difference between a $200 billion-a-year variable annuity market and a trifling $10 billion in annual sales for income annuities.
To clarify some of the essential distinctions among the different sort of annuities, Milevsky has just published a monograph for the CFA Institute that answers in straightforward question-and-answer format some critical retirement income questions.
That is because even CFAs, despite all their technical financial expertise, don't understand insurance and the Institute is trying to offer more of a wealth management perspective to CFA designees, Milevsky says.
In one enlightening part of the CFA monograph, Milevsky sorts through the vast scholarly literature that attempts to explain why people should not annuitize: because of high interest rates; high embedded loads and costs; Social Security; even marriage.
He says he's even seen the argument that if you buy an annuity you will discourage your kids from taking care of you.
"The audience for these arguments are PhDs," Milevsky cautions, warning that popular press accounts often wildly misinterpret their meaning. Offering another analogy, he says that the medical literature is filled with the notion that exercise is healthy. "Then somebody comes along and says if you have arthritis exercising is very bad for you."
And then comes a sensation-seeking expert or ignorant journalist to announce: "Exercise is bad for you, you might have arthritis."
Urging greater sophistication, Milevsky says that yes, there is a huge segment of the population that doesn't need annuities and we need to understand who is and who is not in that group.
Which brings us to another critical bit of wisdom that Milevsky emphasizes for financial advisors: namely that the diversity of strategies at retirement is magnitudes greater than during the accumulation phase.
"You need to listen very carefully to what your retiring clients' unique needs are because no portfolio will address the variety of" client goals and balance sheet considerations, he says noting that some portfolios must be tailored to risk aversion, others to liquidity concerns and still others to health conditions.
Milevsky offers his in-laws as an illustration of how basic values shape a client's portfolio.
"They're spending much less than they can afford to," he says, but would view an annuity that would increase opportunities for current consumption as a "waste of money," since they are determined to pass their wealth on to their children and grandchildren.
"For my in-laws, dying broke is the ultimate failure," Milevsky says. "To many baby boomers that's the objective. So how can you have a portfolio appropriate for [both groups] — one is trying to solve intergenerational problems, the other wants to be sure they spend their last dollar the day they die."
That is why advisors must work to really understand their clients. "You've got to listen," he says, adding some blunt cautions about an advisor's age.
"A 35-year-old financial advisor will have a very difficult time having a conversation about life goals," Milevsky says. "At some point it's hysterical," he adds, picturing a young planner with a questionnaire asking a retiring client if he's had his first heart attack already.
"I'm willing to have a 27-year-old surgeon fix my liver, but in financial planning the intergenerational discussion is not going to work," he says, since an older person will sense the lack of relevant life experience and void of wisdom.
"You have to have made some money and lost it before you can do a really good job. The multitude of issues that come up in retirement you can't teach in a course," the business professor says, expressing open skepticism of his colleagues who teach management courses without having hired people, fired them and sweat over meeting payroll.
"I'm not going to go to a doctor who smokes, a beautician who's ugly and a financial planner without wealth," he says.
Besides the variety of client situations, Milevsky points out that there are differences in planners.
Offering another characteristic analogy, he says a health seeker taking a walk through the supermarket aisles with a nutritionist is going to get a basket of fruits, vegetables and other healthy items.
But if he took a tour of the market with a second nutritionist — sure, both would leave out the bacon, but there are going to be differences at the checkout.
"At some point the science ends and the art begins. There is no point at which you're going to get agreement among experts," Milevsky says, noting that while all advisors might put some stocks and bonds in your portfolios, there will be differences in proportion and in whether to include annuities, long-term care insurance and the like.
A good advisor will tailor the portfolio to his client's unique needs, but will also make sure that portfolio items are exercised properly. The academic, whose sideline QWeMA Group consulting firm helps institutional clients like Pacific Life, John Hancock and Principal Financial Group help their advisors and clients optimize the quantitative aspects of portfolio decisions, stresses that "if you bought annuity, make sure you use it properly."

If you've ever thought about pet shopping in Argentina, be sure to double check which species you're buying.
A tourist shopping at La Salada, Buenos Aires' largest bazaar, thought he had purchased two toy poodles at the low price of $150, according to the Daily Mail's translation of a Buenos Aires television station's report.
But when he took his new pets to the veterinarian for vaccinations, they turned out to be two well-groomed, fluffy ferrets. The so-called "Brazilian rats" had been given steroids when they were young to make them grow to the size of toy poodles, according to the Daily Mail's translation.
Ferrets aren't only being disguised as poodles – the TV station found a woman with a similar story who thought she had bought a Chihuahua, according to the Daily Mail. Neither new pet owner has filed a complaint.

Mesavina svega i svacega, ali mi se mnogo svidja!Not available for delivery until 2011
Pioneering electric car company Tesla Motors has unveiled its new Model S electric sports sedan. It will have a range of up to 300 miles (482 km), and be able to go from 0-60 MPH in 5.5 seconds according to Jalopnik. It will also be able to seat seven passengers, through the use of flip-up seats stored in the trunk. The rear-facing seats, however, are only suitable for small children.
A regular charge will take four hours to complete, but there is a 45 minute fast charge option to provide enough power for a quick jaunt. Tesla expects the batteries to last between seven and ten years based on regular usage models.
According to Autoblog Green, the battery pack for the Model S weighs in at a whopping 1,200 pounds. Total vehicle weight, however, is just over 4,000 pounds.
One of the more interesting features of the Model S is its gigantic touch screen display which takes up most of the center dash/console area. According to Gizmodo, the Model S has an "always on" 3G connection which delivers streaming content to the LCD screen.
The Model S will enter production in the third quarter of 2011, with a targeted ramp up to a production rate of 20,000 sedans per year in the middle of 2012. It will carry a base price of $57,400, but that will drop down to $49,900 after a federal tax credit of $7,500.
The launch event showed a prototype using a single speed transmission to reduce complexity, but an all-wheel drive variant is planned. The drivetrain will be produced at its new San Jose facility.
Maintenance costs will be much less than other cars in the same price category, as there are no oil changes required, and the regenerative braking system means much less wear and tear. The biggest savings will be in fuel costs, regardless of its current price at the pump.
Tesla plans to use profits and experience generated from the Model S to develop a second, more affordable family sedan for the mass market. It will complement its Roadster sports car and provide more options to its potential customers.
The firm recently delivered its 250th Tesla Roadster to a customer in California. Production of the Roadster is currently at 20 cars per week, but will steadily increase to 30 per week this summer. There is currently a backlog of over 1,000 customers awaiting delivery of a Roadster.
