The local Texans flagship radio station tonite did a rebroadcast of the Texans win over Miami. Really? Maybe I am just off... but why? Is this being done all over the NFL. They are doing it in prime time with narration of key moments as if it was the Super Bowl. I just thought it was strange.
That is... odd. I mean, if it were a pivotal game or there was some event in the game, I could understand. But this... is... well... sad, really. Seriously... I'd question this big time if it were done in Nashville for a Titans' game. Just odd.
when the cows beat the cowboys in their first game ever it was the only time they have been above .500 as a franchise - EVER! They thought winning the AFCS was an accomplishment. Only won it cause Gayton had a neck. Mooston is clearly full of bandwagon fans probably grooming another generation of stupid cowboy fans who only know 3 players but they buy a crapload of ugly arsed NFL gear. and now for something completly different
Fyi, this is part of a new show designed to be simulcasted in Austin for what is being called Texans Tuesdays on 1300 the Zone. First true show dedicated to the Texans in Austin.
Ok, that is better... if it's something that will be done consistently, it makes sense. I know I wouldn't mind re-listening to a radio broadcast of a Titans' win.

Seven-year-old lands a fish tale to remember
Young Evan Hansen was fishing Devils Lake with his grandparents, Glenn and Bridgie Hansen of Grand Forks, on Sunday night when he hooked into a fish tale none of them will soon forget. As Bridgie tel...

Getting lost takes all of the fun out of being outdoors — so don't
The incident serves as a reminder to all of us who spend time in wilderness country, whether it's thick Minnesota forest or the rugged Badlands country of western North Dakota, to take precautions against getting lost.By Brad Dokken , October 09, 2011
BRAD DOKKEN: There's something to be said about unplanned excursion
The Minnesota Vikings were well on their way to blowing a 20-0 lead against the Detroit Lions when a friend sent me a text message. A window of opportunity had opened, and would I be interested in a couple of hours on the water?By Brad Dokken , October 02, 2011
BRAD DOKKEN COLUMN: Garrison Dam continues to claim smelt, other fish species
Fish by the hundreds — smelt and ciscoes, mainly, but also species such as salmon and paddlefish — have died after being washed through the Garrison Dam in the high water.By Brad Dokken , September 04, 2011
BRAD DOKKEN COLUMN: Manitoba catfish trip offers chance to fish extremely high river in a drought
After widespread flooding across much of the region this year, it's hard to imagine drought conditions so close by. I first heard reports about the lack of rainfall in southeastern Manitoba a month ago, and from what I saw last weekend, it's every bit as extreme as I'd heard. The Red River, though, is absolutely screaming.By Brad Dokken , August 21, 2011
BRAD DOKKEN: Youth hunting season deadlines offer signs of approaching fall
Young hunters planning to participate in one of Minnesota's 12 youth deer hunts, many of them at state parks, must submit applications by Friday.By Brad Dokken , August 14, 2011
BRAD DOKKEN: Grand Forks wildlife club, Delta Waterfowl chapter to partner for youth field day
The youth field day, set for Aug. 13, still is in the planning stages but will follow Delta Waterfowl's "First Hunt" program, an outdoor curriculum for first-time hunters and their mentors.By Brad Dokken , April 24, 2011
BRAD DOKKEN: Minnesota bill unfairly targets quality pike fishing opportunities
On the House side, the provision calls for capping the number of lakes with special pike regulations at 60 — an arbitrary number that seems to be pulled out of thin air — while the Senate version calls for a maximum of 90 lakes with special regulations.By Brad Dokken , April 17, 2011
BRAD DOKKEN: Whew! Unattached deer tick tests positive for Lyme disease
Few things have given me that "Whew! That was a close one!" reaction like the news I received this week: A deer tick I found crawling on me last spring tested positive for Lyme disease.By Brad Dokken , February 13, 2011
Winter will take its toll on wildlife if tough conditions persist
At this point, conditions aren't real bad, based on Minnesota's Winter Severity Index, at least. But they're getting worse fast, and there's lots of winter left. The next two months will be critical to the fate of deer, pheasants, grouse and other wildlife.By Brad Dokken , February 06, 2011
The outdoors in 2010
The North Dakota Legislature didn't meet in 2010, but there still was plenty that happened during the year on the outdoors front. In North Dakota, perhaps most significant development was the defeat of Measure 2, which would have banned the practice of shooting big game such as elk and deer inside fenced enclosures. Voters defeated Measure 2 during the November election.By Brad Dokken , December 31, 2010
Coon hunter copes with losing prize hound to wolves
The night had gotten off to a great start, and the two hounds had treed coons within minutes at each of the first two drops. That's when the evening took a serious turn for the worse.By Brad Dokken , October 03, 2010
November 'bonus days' offer memorable times outdoors
There've been several bonus days so far in November. Aside from a couple of rainy days, the weather during this year's firearms deer seasons in Minnesota and North Dakota was nearly perfect, perhaps even too nice for some.By Brad Dokken , November 22, 2009
Morning in the woods offers close encounter of the lost kind
I was hunting alone. No one knew I was here. And my cell phone didn't have any reception. Fortunately, my GPS did.By Brad Dokken , November 08, 2009
Signs of approaching fall abound on this final August weekend
Some odds and ends and assorted tidbits to consider on this last weekend in August:By Brad Dokken , August 30, 2009
OUTDOORS REPORT: Fishing, skiing conditions
Lake of the Woods Bigger walleyes have started hitting in Lighthouse Gap, a sign that fish are beginning to stage for their spring migration up the Rainy River. There seems to be spurts of action during midday hours and again in the early evening. Other reports for walleyes indicate a decent bite during the morning hours around Garden Island in 22 to 34 feet. Look to the bays for northern pike in 12 to 16 feet. The Rainy River is busting loose and continues to open each day. As of Tuesday morning, there was open water at Mile Marker 169, which is just upstream of Manitou Rapids and 13 miles east of Birchdale, Minn. It's anyone's guess, of course, but open water at Birchdale is a possibility sometime next week.By Brad Dokken , March 19, 2009

Golf Prepares for Shoal Creek Intercollegiate
The event will take place at the Shoal Creek Country Club, hosted by UAB. At last year's Shoal Creek, the Eagles placed ninth in the 12-team field shooting 891. This year head coach Larry Mays has seen his squad get off to a 27-5 start against teams through two tournaments.
"This is a great golf course... it has been host to the U.S. Amateur, U.S. Juniors and the PGA Championship. There are 12 teams in the field and not a bad one in the bunch," said Mays. "We had a good practice today and we are looking forward to teeing it up tomorrow and keep on playing well."
Last weekend the Eagles ran away with the Raines Development Group title. GS finished shooting a program- and tournament-record 22-under par 842 (279-279-284) in the 18-team field.
Mays also stated he is staying with the same lineup. Senior Jordan Johnstun (Evans/LaGrange) leads the way averaging 70.4 strokes in five rounds. He finished third last week at the Raines.
Fresh off his runner-up finish, junior Spencer Fulford (
Sophomore Logan Blondell (
Senior Drew Lethem (
The Eagles begin play tomorrow at 8:15 a.m. Live stats will be available at www.golfstat.com.

Read More"Assessment need not be complicated, and rightly used it can be a powerful instrument for improvement. Good information in the right hands is potentially the best lever for change. If assessment is done properly, it can provide a basis for wiser planning, budgeting, and change in curriculum, pedagogy, staffing, programming, and student support, rather than wasting resources on the latest educational fad or on vague notions about what might be effective."
--Barbara Walvoord (2004). Assessment Clear and Simple
Welcome to our updated website! (This website works best with Mozilla or the most recent version of Internet Explorer)
www.gwu.edu/~assess serves faculty, staff, and administrators in the GW community who are working to improve student learning across the curriculum. The website is sponsored by The Office of Academic Planning, Institutional Research, and Assessment (APIRA), to collect and publicize information about assessment.
The Middle States Commission on Higher Education, GW's regional accrediting agency, mandates that each institution must develop and implement an assessment process to evaluate the institution's overall effectiveness in achieving its mission and goals and use the results of the assessment to improve student learning. They believe that "the effectiveness of an institution rests upon the contribution that each of the institutions programs and services makes toward achieving the goals of the institution as a whole." Assessment is designed to answer the questions:
GW envisioned a campus wide commitment to educational excellence in 2001 when it adopted an education-focused Strategic Plan for Academic Excellence that stressed ambitious learning goals and metrics for assessing them. The Middle States accreditation review in 2008 affirmed assessment of classroom learning, course outcomes, and program effectiveness as a primary tool for attaining excellence. A Campus Assessment Coordinating Council, with representatives from each of GW's academic schools, was appointed in spring, 2010, and will regularly review the implementation of assessment in each school and across the University.
Within these pages, you will find a description of GW's recent assessment efforts, and links to five spheres of assessment, which include institutional, program, course, general education, and co-curricular assessment. The program assessment and course assessment sections have toolkits to assist programs and individual faculty to develop systematic learning goals and outcomes and effective assessment measures and teaching techniques.

The Iconic Panels caught my attention in the first year at the design school in 2006. Helsinki's model carved pattern engraved in my memory. The simple, understated and peaceful lines of bare birch branches, carved into wood core panel and finished with white matte laminate layer would compliment the scenery of any Nordic inspired design. In 2009 B+N announced the launch of Iconic Furniture, a collection that fit with the panels. At that time, the wall panels were available in 15 patterns, and 13 color choices, including reclaimed wood options. B+N Industries from Burlingame, CA is a multiline manufacturer and design company, originally founded as a product distributor. The company has developed and broadened inventive systems and various product lines providing high levels of functionality and aesthetics for almost three decades. Having much of the production based in California, B+N complies with the state's aggressive environmental laws and power consumption policies.Their ability to produce fixtures from sensibly farmed or post consumer raw, VOC and PVC free materials, show the desire to manufacture responsibly. The life cycle of the final product is considered in the initial design phase. The quality is intrinsic to all products and inherent flexibility of modular systems extend the usefulness and client's need for a change in the future.

Hudson's expansion in last 4 years eventuate in focus on the hospitality market. Simple yet striking designs are perfectly suitable for today's hotel and restaurant spaces; being trendsetters in life style targeting very specific client. Lucky consumers witness the highest excellence, an exhibit of "haut design", which therefore might become a preferred destination of their choice for future visits. I admire owners and operators of these functional spaces who don't compromise their clients' experience to comfort the cleaning stuff instead. The visionaries understand that need for beauty is ubiquitous in human nature and hardwired into our brains. While I'm looking at the new Hudson's pendant "Dragon 2011", Plato's words come to my mind; "Beauty ensnares hearts, captures minds, and stirs up emotional wildfires". Hudson Furniture Inc. respects the natural forms of trees and inherent grain of wood with well defined organic lines and geometric forms using traditional joinery techniques and hand rubbed oil finishes. All Hudson furniture is available in a variety of wood species such as Claro Walnut, Black Walnut, Myrtle, Jasmine, Acacia, Satinwood and Ebonized Pine. Here is the green part of the story; none of the woods they use are harvested from old growth forests. The wood slabs are domestically sourced from either salvaged trees or wind/storm damaged trees. The trees have an average life span of 250-300 years. When these trees die, they gradually do so from the crest to the roots. The farmers or the tree owners thus have to remove these trees as they might cause damage to houses, other trees or outlying areas. Hudsdon integrates various wood species into their designs to produce unique works of art. "Hudson Furniture Inc. has also recently added a line of solid walnut furniture designs by startchitects Renzo Piano, Mario Botta and Terry Dwan".

The term "environment" was regarded on not just from the perspective of ecological environment concerning issue but in a more holistic way; including conditions of the mind and the body. The emphasis of this years event was on the assumption that revolutionary movement for the environment will not occur unless all parties of the society including companies, government, media, creators and private citizens work together. The belief is that design and art posses the power to bring all elements together to change the behavior and tendencies of society. One of the exhibitors was designer Tokujin Yoshioka with genuine interpretation of this philosophy. Yoshioka explains his concept substantialized in transparent phone called X-Ray Mobil. "Socially, transparency has a great buzz nowadays. Our global behavior of indulgence, greed and lack of concern for conservation has brought us to a pivotal time of fear, uncertainty and lack of trust. Transparency implies openness, communication and accountability. We have seen transparency being implemented by governments through efforts to establish trust with the people." Tokujin Yoshioka, native of Japan, has worked on many projects with Issey Miyake for nearly 20 years. His installations, lighting, furniture and product designs have been highly evaluated as works of art more than design works. One of the memorable designs from his studio is the "Bouquet Chair" designed for Moroso, introduced in 2008 at The Milan Furniture Fair.

Since the moment our local sales rep brought the Arktura catalogue to the office, I was trying to make time to enjoy flipping page by page and study the graceful lines of the pictured designs. The images are resembling ultra modern European style in combination with Japanese minimalism but made in the USA, with resonating sustainable efforts. The majority of the products are made using durable long-lasting materials with high recycled content that produce zero landfill waste; and, at the end of their life cycle are fully recyclable. The finishes release no toxins during application or in site. The presentation binder has the cover made out of the cartboard. "Our firm is committed to energy sustainability through solar and wind power". The LA based team of designers with reputable experience have done a successful step in getting out of the comfort zone and left behind the eclecticism common in the US residential and small scale commercial market. These designs are asking for public exposure and debate not just due the striking color selection and glossy finishes but by the geometric precision, balance and simplicity of each form resulting from the close focus on the integration of design, with the development of new manufacturing technologies. "This way design and manufacture take on a new synergies, setting our designers free to explore new forms and use materials unseen in the industry". Designers involved have professional degrees with practice of national and international exposure and we hope their determination to deliver extraordinary pieces that set new standards for creativity and innovation is infinite.

Will the Stone Roses survive Third Coming?
Three days to homecoming of
Britain's most volatile band
THE Stone Roses are a band like no other as a new generation are discovering for the first time.
For those who took them to their hearts when their debut album came out in 1989, the hoo-ha that has surrounded their comeback is business as usual.
The 220,000 tickets to their homecoming shows at Manchester's Heaton Park this Friday, Saturday and Sunday sold out in just 68 minutes.
But a warm-up European tour has been peppered with problems.
Ian Brown called drummer Reni a c*** live on stage in Amsterdam on June 12 after he walked off stage and headed home.
The big question is whether the four-piece — singer Ian Brown, 49, guitarist John Squire, 49, drummer Reni, 48, and bass player Mani, 49 — can get through this weekend's gigs intact or whether the old tensions will tear them apart.
Since the Roses split in acrimony in 1996, no guitar band has managed to uplift and inspire on such a mass scale. Reni and Squire both retain their poster-boy good looks. Mani has continued to make music with Primal Scream and Brown has enjoyed a successful solo career.
If the Sex Pistols lived on a knife-edge, the Roses have always walked a high wire.
Always with the Roses, it is accepted and expected that anything could happen. There are no guarantees. It is part of the thrill.
Even at their hysterically received Press conference last October, when they announced their comeback, there was no certainty all four members would show up. Subsequent rehearsals were also sometimes fraught.
Here is a band, the only band, that could sell tickets to a gig and then blow it out, for any reason – perhaps simply because they rolled out of bed on the wrong side.
Even before the Roses found fame with the iconic song Fools Gold in late 1989, their tendency for chaos was self-evident.
Canings, fights, truancy at school; rebellious streaks inflamed by punk; Brown as a brawling roadie for a fiercely anti-fascist Oi! band; early Roses gigs dotted with riots, police raids, smashed equipment and attacked audiences.
The Roses have always divided opinion.
The dearly departed Factory Records' boss Tony Wilson spent six years hating them and promoting a war of the bands between the Roses and Happy Mondays that only existed in his head.
He was not alone in his dislike of the band. Their back-story is littered with squabbles, self-righteous self-belief and self-destructive tendencies.
Even as the NME declared them to be "On Top Of The World" following the release of their magnificent debut album, The Stone Roses, in 1989, they were refusing to play a sold-out date at Madison Square Garden in New York — on the principal the gig had been booked without them being asked first.
Perhaps the Roses' most infamous escapade came in early 1990 when they hurled paint at the premises and staff of their former record label.
Other record companies were simply double-crossed. Video shoots were wrecked. Television crews were mocked with cries of "amateurs". They planned to pull off Terry Wogan's wig on the chat show king's prime-time BBC1 show (pulling out only when they discovered the show would be pre-recorded). Brown talked about revolution and of beheading the Queen, Prince Charles and Margaret Thatcher.
The "Madchester" scene they were elected figureheads of saw their home city become the centre of the world's musical universe as the Eighties became the Nineties. In this period, the chaos behind the scenes caught up with the Roses — and they spent many months not capitalising on Madchester but in courts, High and low, on jail-threatening criminal damage charges and embarking on a nine-month career-threatening war with the music industry.
They revived for one final everlasting jewelled moment and to claim the Madchester crown: Spike Island — a sublime instalment, witnessed by 40,000 people, on a reclaimed toxic wasteland in Widnes. The gig was their peak.
From here the unravelling was spectacular and its seed came in the shape of their inimitable manager Gareth Evans.
He managed to famously sign the worst record deal in music history in the UK before charming the American label Geffen Records — home to Guns N' Roses — into taking a $20million punt on the band.
The Geffen executives had never seen the Roses play live or heard any new material from them. Evans went beyond chutzpah and into the realms of pure madness.
He was the manager who snubbed offers of help from David Bowie, who wanted to produce the band, and Paul McCartney. "What's in it for Paul?" he asked.
Gareth's real name was Ian Bromley. He liked to deal in cash and gold bullion — and bizarrely novelty underpants. His ownership of the money-spinning International and International II clubs in Manchester — the venues where the Roses rehearsed and were launched — was shrouded in mystery.
Ian Brown said: "We thought he was Al Capone and he thought he was Al Capone."
He aided and abetted the Roses — planting stories that caught fire, such as the Roses refusing to support the Rolling Stones or suggesting they were going to play a gig to 100,000 people outside Buckingham Palace.
He even suggested Ian Brown should fake his own death. As much as Evans built the Roses' mystique, his greed finally caught up with him.
The band sacked him in early 1992. (He threatened to burn down any studio he found them in.) With the $20million deal with Geffen and no manager, the band spent almost three years from March 1992 to October 1994, recording their second album, the immodestly but magnificently titled Second Coming.
In those years, the idea of the band as a tight-knit unit disintegrated. Reni was the first to leave. One world tour later, packed with highs and farcical lows, Squire quit.
After a final show at Reading Festival in 1996, Brown and Mani disbanded the Roses.
They were in debt and flat broke — spiritually as well as financially.
For 15 years, Squire and Brown maintained a lover's tiff that eclipsed even the famous spat between Mick Jagger and Keith Richards. Reni said absolutely nothing. And Mani cemented his reputation as a man of the people.
So forgive me for being excited about the new dates — along with hundreds of thousands of others. These three days in Heaton Park could potentially be as long and fondly remembered as Woodstock, for the city of Manchester as well as the band.
It has zero to do with nostalgia for me.
The Roses are the only band in history that never sold out and never flogged a dead horse. "People will remember that," Mani said in 1996.
This is a chance to hear the truth, from the only band who ever told it. A band who walked it like they talked it and sang it like they saw it.
As long as they can last until the weekend.
Their track record
THE Stone Roses formed in 1983, rehearsing for six months before
playing their first gig in 1984, supporting The Who's Pete Townshend in
They recorded their first single in 1985 but the double A-side So Young/Tell Me only caused a minor ripple. Their big breakthrough had to wait until 1989 when debut album The Stone Roses charted at No 32 and single Fools Gold reached No 8. The band won four gongs at the NME Awards that year, including Band Of The Year and Single Of The Year.
Second album, The Second Coming, reached No 4 in 1994 but by that stage the end was in sight. Reni and John Squire had already quit when Ian Brown and Mani called it a day following a ropey Reading Festival slot in 1996. But now they are back...

Olympic star Usain Bolt donates shoes to 9-year-old who lost leg
OLYMPIC sprint superstar Usain Bolt sent a signed pair of his running shoes to a Bristol nine-year-old after hearing the youngster had lost a leg to bone cancer.
Keen footballer Matthew Smith was complaining of pain in his right leg just before Christmas and a series of scans and tests revealed he had osteosarcoma.
Initially there was hope his leg could be saved but despite months of intensive chemotherapy the tumour spread from Matthew's knee and up his thigh leaving medics no option.
It was a huge blow for Matthew, his parents Colin and Liz, and older sister Lucy, 12, who live in Brislington.

Bolt, the quickest man in history, is a world superstar and took gold in both the 100m and 200m at the London Olympics.
He was informed of the tragedy by his mum, who had been told Matthew's plight by her cousin Vinette Jones.
Mrs Jones works with one of Mr Smith's friends, who had let her know he was trying to raise money for the family.
Mrs Jones, who lives in Filton, said: "I think the story really struck a chord with him.
"Usain is a very quick runner so he thought about what it would be like for him to lose a leg.
"I had asked if he would mind sending a T-shirt but he said he would send some signed running spikes because he thought they would raise more money for Matthew."
Incredibly Bolt's mother Jennifer came to Brislington after the Olympics to present the spikes to Matthew in person.
Since the operation in April Matthew has been having regular physiotherapy sessions to help him learn to walk using a prosthetic leg. He is desperate to play football again.
Mr Smith said: "To be honest we went for X-rays just to establish that he had some sort of knee injury.
"When they said there was something wrong I thought it was good because we could then treat it.
"But when doctors explained exactly what they had found it was a big shock. Since then it has been a roller coaster."
Since Matthew fell ill his family have been stunned by the support they have received.
Matthew's football club Brislington Juniors FC and Knowle golf club, where he is a member, started fund raising to support the family.
A charity fun day was held in August, and later this month three parents are taking the courageous step of taking part in a sponsored sky dive.
"It has been overwhelming for us," Mr Smith said. "Sometimes I get more emotional about the support people have shown us than the situation itself. He is learning to walk again but gets outside in the garden on crutches so he can play football.
"Ultimately he finds it frustrating and just wants to be back in goal for Brislington juniors."
Discussing Bolt's gesture he said: "Having Usain Bolt's mum come and present Matthew with a signed pair of his spikes was brilliant.
"It was such a nice night and all the football boys came and met Mrs Bolt.
"Matthew really appreciated it and couldn't believe that one of the biggest superstars in the world had done that for him. It meant a lot to all of us."
Robert Cousins is the U10s manager at Brislington Juniors FC and the man who works with Mrs Jones whom he approached to see if Bolt could help.
He said: "True to his and his mother's word, a pair of the signed spikes were presented to Matthew in front of the rest of the parents and boys of the football team by Jennifer Bolt herself. The spikes are going to go on eBay in the hope of raising as much as possible for Matthew and his family to live as normal life as possible."
If anyone wishes to make a bid for the spikes they should visit eBay and search for item 200831913814 or write a note on the Matthew Smith charity page on Facebook.

Tim Gibson said he plans to provide better customer service and save taxpayers money as he downsizes his department.
The new Plumas County agriculture commissioner's plan drew applause when the Board of Supervisors adopted it March 5.
"I just think 'Wow!' these department heads who save us money," Supervisor Lori Simpson said. "I'm sure the taxpayers like to hear it too."
"It saves money and it provides even better service," Supervisor Jon Kennedy said.
Gibson's plan increases a half-time administrative assistant to full-time, refills his prior position of an Inspector III with an Inspector II, and eliminates a technician position. The changes will allow both Gibson and the inspector to spend more time out in the field.
The proposed cost savings for the remainder of this fiscal year is approximately $10,000 and it's estimated to save nearly $27,000 for the next fiscal year.
One more deputy
Sheriff Greg Hagwood will be able to hire a deputy, filling a position that had been held for a deputy out on disability.
Hagwood said that deputy has now retired and he asked the Board of Supervisors for authorization to fill that position.
He passed out a roster that included the sheriff's sworn and correctional staffs and said, "We are nine sworn positions down and three others are out with injury or illness.
"We're at a point where being able to provide a minimum degree of coverage is stretched thin," Hagwood told the supervisors.
The new hire will allow Hagwood to provide more coverage for the county and reduce his overtime budget. He said the deputy will likely cover the Chester-Lake Almanor area.
Hagwood also addressed the disability retirement in his department.
"This is pretty devastating to him," Hagwood said of the Greenville-based deputy who was injured in August 2009 and has tried repeatedly to resume his duties. "This is certainly not what he would choose."

Empire Cannons and crew
The last time I posted, I had just completed a helblaster volleygun for my Nordland force. Since then I have had a combination of events that have set my hobbting into the background for a week or two. My laptop decided to fry its hard-disc, loosing all myu stored information, I read through the hunger games trillogy of books and I temporarily fell out of love with the local gaming community. No worries, it is time to come back and what better than to hit the blog with pictures of two cannons I completed recently.

Thanks Bassam. We are considering revisiting past cases and showing the follow up and reposting them. Would that be of interest? Dr. Salama
Very inspirational presentation Dr.Salama; is there anyway you can put together all links related to this case or any case in future thus we can watch it from the start to finish? thanks for your dedication to this forum.
Loc; Thanks for the nice comments, please see my previous post below. Arrestin or Acromycin can be utilized for the antibiotic paste. Thanks Dr. Salama
Dear Dr. Salama, Great Presentation! love it! what's the name of the antibiotic paste for cementing? where can I buy them? thank you very much
Sanjeev and Fahran; Many thanks for the kind words. I am glad that this video has been instructional for both of you. Dr. Salama
Learned a lot from video. Thanks Dr. Salama..
dear dr salama you are genius and great inspiration for me ,i have been doing implant surgeries after watching your videos ,thank you very much Dr Farhan Durrani India
Yossef;You can utilize antibiotic paste like Arestin or Acromycin mixed with a glycerin carrier that you can have made at your pharmacy.thanks Dr. Salama
Hello Doctor Salama an d thx for the wonderfull presentation. can you repeat the name of the paste that you use for cemanting the temporary bridge?
Biologic and Surgical Strategies for Achieving Implant Esthetics – Part 2 Dr. André Saadoun describes delayed and staged implant placement.
Immediate loading with Narrow diameter implants : simplicity is the key for success. This two parts presentation will show the evolution and development of narrow diameter implants , reaching their extensive use in most situations. Simplicity is a worldwide demand that unites both patients and practitioners.
Consecutive Anterior Implants: Surgical and Restorative Management of Esthetic Failures - Part 5 This webinar will focus on the diagnosis and treatment design options for the implant replacement of two or more adjacent teeth in the anterior region with emphasis on preventing mid-facial and interdental tissue loss.
Zygomatic Implants in the Treatment of Fully Edentulous Patients This presentation aims to bring some possibilities in the treatment of edentulous patients with a severe atrophic maxilla. The major problem is that the absence of an appropriate bone bed, will compromise any approach with bone grafts and substitutes, as well as involving a greater morbidity and treatment time. In this way the oral rehabilitation with zygomatic implants is a current need for many patients, which will require a scientific knowledge of the dental care professional. Through this slide show and video demonstration you will be able to recognize and diagnose cases recommended for the therapy with zygomatic implants and its possible configurations supporting an oral rehabilitation.
Tissue Engineering and Platelet Derived Growth Factors: Evidence Based Therapy Platelet derived growth factors are now routinely utilized in reconstructive therapy. This presentation describes very detailed and evidence based guidelines for clinicians interested in enhancing their abilities in tissue engineering, especially as it relates to bone augmentation. Specifically, while successful bone augmentation requires the standard surgical parameters of space maintenance, low pressure on the grafts and tension-free flap closure, optimization of this goal requires management and enhancement of the local biological conditions with growth factors. Towards that end, platelet concentrates through the constant release of growth factors are able to promote and enhance new vascularization, provide plasma protein, normal lipidemia, as well as increased collagen and fibrin activity.
Immediate Loading in Implant Dentistry - Coherent Clinical Application in Everyday Practice Dr. Henry Salama will outline clinical protocols to facilitate efficient, successful and predictable application of immediate loading protocols for single unit replacement as well as fully edendulous patients.
Biologic Interfaces in Esthetic Dentistry - Part II: The Peri-implant/Restorative Interface The design of the implant–abutment interface is important because it is one of the primary determinants of prosthetic stability.
The Bio-Derm Ridge Plumping Technique for Pontic Site Development Seibert Class III apicocoronal and buccolingual alveolar ridge defects with associated gingival mucosal atrophy and absence of interdental papillae are common in edentulous areas within the anterior esthetic zone of the maxilla. Normal emergence profiles, critical to achieving esthetic restorations, require restoration of normal hard and soft tissue morphology, including re-establishment of adjacent interdental papillae.
Failure Causes,Timing, and Cluster Behavior:An 8-Year Study of Dental Implants An implant-supported restoration offers a predictable treatment for tooth replacement. 1–3 Success rates for implants are high. Never the-less,failures that mandate implant removal do occur.This lengthens and complicates the treatment process, 3–7 as well as jeopardize the clinician's efforts to accomplish satisfactory function and esthetics. For the patient,this usually involves further cost and additional procedures.

WHEN Ben Standen became a father at age 16 he could have done two things.
Let it cut off his career opportunities or inspire him to follow his dreams.
Mr Standen chose the latter and pursued his passion for cooking.
This decision paid off as the Hobart man was named the 2011 Tasmanian Apprentice of the Year.
Mr Standen has since become a youth ambassador for local organisation Outside The Square Solutions.
The 23-year-old shared his story with Grade 9 and 10 Burnie High School students yesterday.
They were all involved in the Trainee and Apprenticeship Pathway program.
``When my partner and I became parents to our daughter, Kate, it definitely changed my mindset,'' Mr Standen said.
``No longer did it feel like it was possible for me to continue my studies without a viable income for my new family.
``It was then, with my options for further education limited, that I realised that I could take on the curiosity I had slowly developed for food and turn it into a career, through an apprenticeship.''
Instead of accepting defeat, Mr Standen pounded the pavement in search of work.
He gave out his resume where-ever he could and took it one step further.
``I got call backs for 50% of my resumes as I actually went in and introduced myself to say who I was and what I wanted,'' Mr Standen said.
Fast-forward to today and he has completed his chef apprenticeship and is happily employed at the Lebrina restaurant in New Town, Hobart.
``This was all made possible simply by working hard. There were no lucky breaks for me,'' Mr Standen said.
``The only thing ever holding you back in life is you.
``So if there is something you really want then work hard for it.''
Mr Standen said students should be mindful of the importance of schooling, even if they land an apprenticeship.
``These don't mean the end of book work. Most involve some study. Maths and English are still important,'' he said.
Mr Standen is visiting nine schools across the North-West Coast, finishing his tour today.

Bright, Brighter, Brightest!
Light bulbs are ranked by their power -- the amount of light they put out in a certain period of time (measured in watts). Higher-watt bulbs have a bigger filament, so they produce more light.
A three-way bulb has two filaments of different wattage -- typically a 50-watt filament and a 100-watt filament. The filaments are wired to separate circuits, which can be closed initially using a special three-way socket.
The switch in the three-way socket lets you choose from three different light levels. On the lowest level, the switch closes only the circuit for the 50-watt filament. For the medium light level, the switch closes the circuit for the 100-watt filament. For the brightest level, the switch closes the circuits for both filaments, so the bulb operates at 150 watts.
The Filament
As we saw in the last section, a metal must be heated to extreme temperatures before it will emit a useful amount of visible light. Most metals will actually melt before reaching such extreme temperatures -- the vibration will break apart the rigid structural bonds between the atoms so that the material becomes a liquid. Light bulbs are manufactured with tungsten filaments because tungsten has an abnormally high melting temperature.
But tungsten will catch on fire at such high temperatures, if the conditions are right. Combustion is caused by a reaction between two chemicals, which is set off when one of the chemicals has reached its ignition temperature. On Earth, combustion is usually a reaction between oxygen in the atmosphere and some heated material, but other combinations of chemicals will combust as well.
The filament in a light bulb is housed in a sealed, oxygen-free chamber to prevent combustion. In the first light bulbs, all the air was sucked out of the bulb to create a near vacuum -- an area with no matter in it. Since there wasn't any gaseous matter present (or hardly any), the material could not combust.
The problem with this approach was the evaporation of the tungsten atoms. At such extreme temperatures, the occasional tungsten atom vibrates enough to detach from the atoms around it and flies into the air. In a vacuum bulb, free tungsten atoms shoot out in a straight line and collect on the inside of the glass. As more and more atoms evaporate, the filament starts to disintegrate, and the glass starts to get darker. This reduces the life of the bulb considerably.
In a modern light bulb, inert gases, typically argon, greatly reduce this loss of tungsten. When a tungsten atom evaporates, chances are it will collide with an argon atom and bounce right back toward the filament, where it will rejoin the solid structure. Since inert gases normally don't react with other elements, there is no chance of the elements combining in a combustion reaction.
Cheap, effective and easy-to-use, the light bulb has proved a monstrous success. It is still the most popular method of bringing light indoors and extending the day after sundown. But by all indications, it will eventually give way to more advanced technologies, because it isn't very efficient.
Incandescent light bulbs give off most of their energy in the form of heat-carrying infrared light photons -- only about 10 percent of the light produced is in the visible spectrum. This wastes a lot of electricity. Cool light sources, such as fluorescent lamps and LEDs, don't waste a lot of energy generating heat -- they give off mostly visible light. For this reason, they are slowly edging out the old reliable light bulb.

PASADENA — William Rutz is determined to find work — and he's not alone.
On Wednesday, the 50-year-old Arcadia resident joined hundreds of other job seekers at the Foothill Workforce Investment Board's Career Expo.
The event was held in the facility's parking lot, featuring more than 30 hiring employers ranging from Macy's, Guidance Software and Commerce Casino to Aflac, Vons and the FBI.
"I'm looking," said Rutz. "I've been out of work for seven months. I was working in retail with Neiman Marcus and Nordstrom, but there was a reduction in hours ... I guess it's the economy."
Commerce Casino had nine positions to fill, including a casino food server, cook, cook's helper, restaurant chef, steward, housekeeper, kitchen cleaner, security dispatcher and video surveillance operator.
"We have 2,800 people working at the casino," said Valerie Derby, a recruitment manager in the casino's human resources department. "We also hold job fairs at the casino. We usually have 100 people show up and we might hire 15 to 20 out of that group."
Houshi Kashizadeh, an associate manager with American General Life and Accident Insurance Co., said his firm was looking to hire 20 to 30 new employees a month.
But Kashizadeh admits the job is not for everyone.
"You need to be aggressive, you need to be coachable and you need to have a market of people
Unemployment has remained a problem both locally and nationally. Jobs are being added but the progress has been slow.
Los Angeles County's jobless rate dipped to 11 percent in August compared with 11.2 percent in July and 12.5 percent a year ago. The county posted a loss of 10,400 jobs over the month, whittling its employment base to 3,803,800. But the region added 74,000 new jobs over the year - the largest annual increase in more than a decade.
"It's tough," said Joumana "J.B." Barakat, a business liaison management analyst with the Foothill Workforce Investment Board. "Things are looking better in some industries, but everything is on hold. It all depends on who will take over in November."
Rutz said he's been trying to cover all the bases in his job search.
"I've done my resume and I'm looking on the Internet and going to job fairs," he said. "I'm also networking with friends and other people I know. It's definitely not an easy go."
Sheryl Lefmann, who lives in Duarte, also attended Wednesday's Career Expo.
"I'm unemployed but I chose to leave my last job," she said. "I was working in contract administration for a security company. I was there for five years but there was no room for job advancement. I want to get back into public administration. I used to work in law enforcement as a civilian doing administrative duties."
More than 460 people attended Wednesday's job fair and Barakat said there was some immediate good news.
"We had at least seven people who were hired right on the spot," she said. "We were really happy about that."

Linkbuilding for Dummies
Linkbait is the honey.
Linkers are the bees.
The honey does not solicit the bees, it just is what it is.
"Long term, promotion of content that attracts relevant links from those empowered to publish will win. The act of linking is performed, unsolicited, by individual publishers."

Skin type: combination. Dry in harsh Canadian winters with some oily t-zone; oilier in summer. Non sensitive.
Let me say that this is my 4th jar of this cream. I first bought it to reduce stretch marks on my belly during pregnancy, but started using it as a night cream in winter time. Since I moved to a very dry and cold area of Canada (New Brunswick), my skin became dull and flaky. I rub it in at night time and end up with smooth, soft skin in the morning. It goes on a little greasy, but absorbs soon enough.
I even wear this during the day under make-up, and find that it does not make me look greasy, but gives me a nice glow instead. I also think the Vitamin E has helped lighten some acne scars. I would have to say this is a MUST for those living in extremely cold and dry climates!
However, I would not recommend using this in the summer. It is a very heavy cream, and in this part of Canada, it gets nasty humid!

I have been using this product on and off since I've been twenty two. At nineteen til then I was using Webber Vitamin E cream in the jar which has been discontinued in Canada. My skin is combination dehydrated. I now limit this cream to the late fall and winter months in Canada when it is cold and windy outside. The heavy and rich texture means that I require very little product, and the cream is a very effective moisturizer, the moisturization lasts unlike other more expensive creams with bigger names. My last jar was purchased three years ago, but Iike I mentioned, I do not use this cream in the spring and summer months because it is just too heavy for me. My skin is plump and smooth using this, but I have to keep it away from my T-zone to avoid looking shiny. I wish they would cut out the less natural ingredients so that it could compete with other more natural creams, but you still can't beat the amount of vitamin E in here regardless. I returned my last jar before I barely started using it because it cracked and unfortunately, so has its replacement. I wouldn't mind sturdier and prettier packaging. Will repurchase.

I love this moisturizer. It's intense moisturizing, so you only need a little. Some may find it greasy/heavy, but that's what I like in a moisturizer - and they have a lighter version for those looking for a lighter effect. The only thing I don't like about it is the "baby powder" scent - I would prefer an unscented version, so I only gave it 4 lippies.

I agree with that it is too heavy for day time, but for night time.. omg.. this is the BEST moisturizer ever! It has the most Vitamin E of any cream I know of, and Vitamin E is one of the best vitamins you can put on your skin.. and with this cream, unlike the oil, the vitamin totally gets into your skin, as the cream is absorbed unlike the oil which seems to only sit on your skin. So get this cream!!!!!! It almost completely erased a scar I had on my face, I'm happy with this product, it's like a miracle cream, and would recommend it to anyone. Try it, but give it time, as the Vitamin takes a while to take effect. It will work on any scar, you just have to be patient with it. WORKS!

I had such high expectations for this product, and was really excited to try it out once I bought it. What a mistake i made for applying this to my face and neck. The next day i had this huge, red bumpy rash all over my neck and ears and same on my jaw line. It took serveral days to go away and really hurt. i dismissed it being this product and thought it may have been something else. Then i tried it a couple weeks later and the exact same thing happened. Huge, red bumpy rash that hurt.

I picked up this cream in the drugstore for a family member because it had a high level of vitamin E, which is apparently good for healing skin. He ended up not using it and so I tried it as facial moisturizer, and certainly didn't expect it to be as good as it is. My skin is dry and this moisturizer is very hydrating and rich, and has visibly improved the tone and softness of my skin. I wish I had a before and after photo to show you! It seems to make my skin smooth and plump. It doesn't seem greasy to me at all, but I have always had dry skin. I like to vary the skin products I use, and this one has earned a place in the night-time moisturizer line up. Some people are allergic to Vitamin E and an allergic reaction may show up as contact dermatitis - reddened/itching/blistered skin, so you may want to try a patch test

I love this product! I have a normal skin that sometimes tends to be oilier, and sometimes drier, depending on make-up routine, hormones, diet ets. So I just randomly bought this product aimed at dry and very dry skin because I like the ingredients. So far my experience is great - my skin feels soft and hydrated! And the greatest plus is that this cream does not break me out which is so rare. I will continue to use it and very likely repurchase.

I think this is my 2nd tub of this stuff and I still haven't gotten used to it. This stuff stings my eyes when I put it close to my under eye area. It gave me a few breakouts at first but when I got used to it I was fine. For a while I thought this was my HG moisturizer but it's not. I can't stand this stuff!

I have started using this with my complex 15 moisturizer since i have found that i need something a little heavier at night for my dry skin. It does a great job with really moisturizing my skin. I would not want to wear this during the day though as it would make my makeup slide all over my face and would look greasy very quickly. Over all great product in terms of quality. I would prefer to have it in a pump style bottle though since it is slightly unhygienic to stick your fingers in the jar.

Update winter 2010 - Just too heavy for facial use and I thought I would try and use on up hands, etc. I used half a jar and threw out. Changed to will not repurchase and lowered the packaging rating to 1, The jar cracked.
Would suggest Complex 15 (under $10. for the tube) if someone wants a low cost moisturizer
I bought a jar of Jamieson ProVitamina Moisture Rich Nourishing Cream 30 000 IU from SDM on sale for $7.99. Huge jar contains 120 ml or 4.2 oz. This is a rich basic moisturizer. I use it at night only on my neck. I have also used a little under my eyes.
Pros: No parabens
Has the logo (Bunny) and states "No animal testing"
Good for dry skin. I like to apply a treatment product and then layer this over it.
Cons: Too heavy for day time

I first heard about this from a co-worker when I got a burn under my eye when working fast food. I had a burn mark for a few months. My co-worker told me to use it and she swore by it (she had burns before too). Within months everything cleared up and you can't seven see the marks.
I use it every night now as a night cream. it s greesy but like others said, once it settles it's not bad. I also like to use it on my upper arms as they're pretty dry. Definitely notice a difference there.

I wasn't happy with this product, but that's probably because it's not good for oily skin.
It was just way too heavy for my skin, and wouldn't absorb properly. I gave it to my mother and she seems to be having better luck with it, as her skin is dry.

I am really happy with this! Lately I've been trying products like crazy to cope with accutane combined with very dry weather, and this is definetly what has been working the best for me. I actually broke out a bit when I first started this, though I don't know if this was to blame as I was experimenting with a lot of products. I stuck with it through the breakout (it was pretty mild) and Im am very glad I did because since then my skin has been clear and this cream is actually one of the only things that has helped take down the redness of my face and the redness of my acne scars. I find if I give this a few minutes it does absorb well, and suprisingly Im still able to put on my neutrogena spf 55 over top of this and not feel like I have a lot of heavy crap on my face. Pior to this I was getting dry spots on my face and body that would become dry to the point of getting scabby, and now they are completely healed. I think the intense moisture combined with high vit E content has been the perfect combo of healing and moisture for me. I am so HAPPY and relieved to have finally found something that works! Ive been using it long enough now I am finally going to go return aaall the other crap Ive been messing around with! I will update after I finish with accutane ot note if it becomes too rich for my skin etc..... Until then LOVE.
*EDIT* so once I finished accutane I started only using this as spot treatment for dry areas, and for daily use switched to the vit E gel-cream from the same brand. It's a fanastic product as well. If this is too rich for anyone I would highly recommend that. It's similar to clinique DDMG or moisture surge but actually better IMO. Great product as well.

I wouldn't want to use any facial product for as long as this jar is large, it would be hanging around far too long. This is an extremely rich cream, and I have very dry skin, it did not absorb well at all. It also made my mascara smudge. Also did not improve my skin.

This is a great cream. I was spending major $$$ on Yon-Ka's Masque #1 Hydrating masque to put under my moisturizer to combat dryness and sensitive skin. This product does the same thing and eliminates the need for me to take the extra step moisturizing for waaay less. Two months of consistently using this as a morning moisturizer is really working for my skin. I havent broken out from it, and my skin texture looks very healthy and hydrated. I also bought another jar for work to use on my hands. My dry hands and ragged cuticles were completely cleared up in five days. A very effective product that truly works and delivers great results without having to spend a ridiculous amount of money. I am VERY impressed with how something so simple works so well. **Edit: I've started using this on my hands and feet as well, and really love it. My hands are often neglected, and this heals them up very quickly. I also neglect my feet too, and have had some really painful cracks in my heels. After using this daily for a week, it made a huge difference and healed up the cracks. As a treatment cream with so many uses, this is definitely worth a try.

I got this because of the great reviews on MUA (and it was on sale at PharmaPlus).
It definitely didn't make me break out.
My skin responded pretty well to this cream.
It is very greasy and it stays on your face for awhile before being absorbed.
I have extremely dry skin, especially on the cheek area.
This provides a relief, but not long lasting.
I put it on my face after I take my night shower (around 9pm).
Before I go to bed (around midnight), I have to re-apply (but not as much) it on my cheeks.
I use this in the morning as well, let it sit for a bit before putting on my Marcelle moisturizer with SPF15.
They give me a decent base for 2 hours before I start noticing the flakey skin on my cheeks.
Would I buy this again? Maybe.
I'm still in search for my HG moisturizer.
So far, this does the job for me :)
**UPDATE (4/27/09): after using it for awhile now, I've finally seen the difference. It definitely nourished my skin without breaking it out. I don't have to re-apply the cream like I did before. Will repurchase for sure :)
**MORE UPDATE (6/2/09): this is now my morning moisturizer. It might not work for most people (because it's a really thick cream and makes your face looks shiny!), but it works well for me. I guess I have a very dry and parched skin :( But this cream provides a great canvas for my make up :) I put this on before my Marcelle oil free with spf15 moisturizer. This combo works extremely well on me

I ABSOLUTELY LOVEEEEEEEEEEE this product!
This is exactly what im looking for!! First i will admit it kinda does go on a little bit greasy... but mind you my skin is combination. I bought this because i was staying at my bf's house and i had no moisture cream whatsoever, my cheeks were peeling and dry, and my forehead was getting little pimples my whole face was a mess, from partying so much. I bought this product because it was a good price 9.97 canadian. Now the part when i mentioned it went on greasy.. but my faced SUCKS UP EVERYTHING so i think it was a good thing for me.. maybe bad for others.. but its PERFECT when i apply makeup over it.. because other creams werent moisturizing enough so when i put my foundation or powder on it looks soo..unnatural and blotchy. This is also a great night time cream, its good to part around your eyes. I JUST LOVE THIS CREAM and im really happy i bought it. This cream is made for dry skin anyways.. so if you have oily skin then of course its gonna be horrid for u.

Hack and / - Message for You Sir
It's easy to forget dæmons are there unless they demand your attention. A few years ago, I was walking through the expo floor at OSCON, when I noticed someone in a full BSD dæmon costume getting his picture taken with a few fans. When I saw them trying to figure out how to arrange everyone for the picture I couldn't help but yell, "No! The dæmon is always in the background!"
In case you didn't get the joke, dæmon is a name UNIX people give to processes that run behind the scenes (in the background). Dæmons perform all sorts of useful functions from executing scripts at a certain time (atd and crond) to listening for network connections and spawning the appropriate process to serve the request (inetd). In fact, the d at the end of those scripts stands for dæmon, and you might notice that a number of processes on your system right now end in d.
The whole point of a dæmon is to perform tasks without your intervention or knowledge, but sometimes, it's handy for a dæmon to alert you when a certain condition occurs. On a server, this usually means the dæmon will send an e-mail alert to the administrator, but what about on a desktop? What if you want a dæmon to alert you when you have new e-mail? In that case, it makes more sense for some sort of notice to pop up on your desktop. In this column, I discuss three different methods I use so that dæmons can get my attention on my desktop.
I think the first time I noticed OSD (On-Screen Display) notifications on Linux was with a volume control program. I increased the volume on my computer, and right in the middle of the screen was a volume meter floating above all my other windows, just like on a TV. I instantly was intrigued and had to figure out how they did it. These days, there are a number of different OSD libraries and programs, but my favorite is still osd_cat.
The osd_cat program is a command-line program that displays text sent to it in a pipe. The fact that it accepts piped input makes it ideal for dæmon notification, because it's easy to add to any shell script. This command is part of the xosd-bin package on Debian-based systems, or xosd on Red Hat, and has been around for a number of years.
The simplest way to test osd_cat is to pipe some text to it:
$ echo "Hello World" | osd_cat
If you look at the top left-hand side of your screen, you should see your message appear in a small red font for a few seconds and then disappear. Of course, if you didn't know to look there, you might assume the program is broken because the message is so small. Plus, everyone knows green is the ideal foreground color, so let's spruce up that notification a bit and put it front and center:
$ echo "Hello World" | osd_cat --align=center --pos=bottom ↪--color=green --font=lucidasanstypewriter-bold-24
Ahh, that's more like it, a notification right in the middle of the screen. As you can see, osd_cat accepts a number of options that can control how and where it displays your message. The man page covers all the options in detail, but I highlight the options I used here. The --align argument controls the text alignment much like a word processor and can be set to left (default), center or right. The --pos option controls the Y orientation on the screen and can be set to top (default), middle or bottom. The --color option is self-explanatory, as is --font. If you do want a different font but aren't sure what value to use, just run xlsfonts to see a full list.
In addition to the options I listed, osd_cat has many other options, such as --indent and --offset, that allow you to fine-tune where it displays your text, so you can position it virtually anywhere on the screen. You also can tweak the time the message appears on the screen with the --delay option, and if you plan to pipe multiple lines of text to the screen, be sure to look into the --lines, --age and --wait options, so you can control how osd_cat will scroll multiple lines. There are even --barmode and --percentage options that let you draw a slider bar, much like the OSD volume control I saw.
All of those options are nice, but honestly, I find myself sticking to basic text notifications with osd_cat, and although I have migrated many of my scripts to libnotify, I still like to use osd_cat for audio/video notification, such as when I use a script I wrote to turn on the VGA output on my laptop for presentations. I mentioned this script in my original Lightning Hacks column, but in case you didn't see it, here it is again:
#!/bin/sh if xrandr | grep -q 'VGA connected'; then echo "LVDS + VGA" | osd_cat --shadow=2 --align=center ↪--pos=bottom --color=green --delay=2 ↪--font=lucidasanstypewriter-bold-24 --offset 40 & # choose my laptop screen's resolution by default; # if that fails, try the auto-detected mode xrandr --output VGA --mode 1280x768@60 || xrandr ↪--output VGA --auto else echo "LVDS only" | osd_cat --shadow=2 --align=center ↪--pos=bottom --color=green --delay=2 ↪--font=lucidasanstypewriter-bold-24 --offset 40 & xrandr --output VGA --off & fi
I find it's nice to add visual notifications like this whenever I trigger a script in the background with a keybinding and it's not immediately obvious the script ran, such as in this case, when I'd like to know whether I'm in presentation or regular mode, and it might take the projector a few seconds to respond.

Unable to locate this blink program....
One of the main issues of this program is that it has such a generic name. There was a kernel driver by this name that was removed because it was buggy and problematic. I however am not using a distro so maybe the programs is listed somewhere in a respoistory but a google search turns up no sources or anything for it. If anyone is following this article maybe you can post sources for it or post a location for the sources. If nothing gets posted I may consider writing something small in c if its even possible.
I'm using fedora 12, but I can't seem to find blink in any packages.

Free Webinar: Hadoop
How to Build an Optimal Hadoop Cluster to Store and Maintain Unlimited Amounts of Data Using Microservers
Realizing the promise of Apache® Hadoop® requires the effective deployment of compute, memory, storage and networking to achieve optimal results. With its flexibility and multitude of options, it is easy to over or under provision the server infrastructure, resulting in poor performance and high TCO. Join us for an in depth, technical discussion with industry experts from leading Hadoop and server companies who will provide insights into the key considerations for designing and deploying an optimal Hadoop cluster.
Some of key questions to be discussed are:
- What is the "typical" Hadoop cluster and what should be installed on the different machine types?
- Why should you consider the typical workload patterns when making your hardware decisions?
- Are all microservers created equal for Hadoop deployments?
- How do I plan for expansion if I require more compute, memory, storage or networking?

@clusterukI am with you there Steve the Raspberry Pi will be good for Aros i for one am willing to invest my time and money in this AROS project.
@FrankoSorry, not biting this time to busy
@clusterukIn other words... you can't backup your claim...
@FrankoYou got it Seriously how do you do that, your a genius.

@clusterukNice video, but I would suggest in the future to cut it down to 5 or 7 minutes long.
@damoclesPlease, it takes that long to remember what I am going to say
i always said: if aros were a religion, clusteruk would certainly be the high priest...

@FrankoOf course I'm an American - what clued you off? The Happy 4th of July? The fact that I said I was stationed in England? methinks. . . oh you mean I think, as in the proper use of English. I know the Brits tried to teach you Scots the proper way to speak and failed, because even THEY can't understand what you say.I think you just hate anything and anyone American. Enjoy your daily sheep shag, Highlander.Ed
@edponponNah... the dolly dimple fact that it says "From: USA" under you avatar kinda gave the game away... Typical American no clue of history... The "Brits" as you call them only came about around 55 BC when Ceaser introduced the term Britania, believe it or not us Scots had actually learned to speak quite some time before that... Shame no one bothered to teach your lot how to speak or spell proper English and you were left to make up your own strange version of it... PS: I don't hate anything & anyone American (cept CUSA & Barry Altman), I just don't understand how the "Land of the free" and the supposed most powerful nation on earth has around 85% of it's population whom are lets say "couch potatoes" and got the brain power of an illiterate amoeba... PPS: Sheep shagging is a Welsh thing (it's a birthright in them parts)... PPPS: I don't live in the Highlands, I'm a Lowlander (geography is obviously not another strong point for you is it)... PPPPS: Enjoy your daily drink from the kool aid fountain of ignorance while of course shagging your inbred redneck sister or bother as the case may be...
@FrankoIt's true though.. being American, I have the attention span of a gnat. I fast forward most online videos to the "good" parts. I think it's because we have become so used to super quick cut style editing in our media. Remember when Raiders of the Lost Arc was super action packed and now it's kinda slow because movies are edited so differently.I also think our crazy over stimulated entertainment is the best in the world... which is probably why we are all "couch potatoes" now. In my neighborhood, I hardly ever see kids outside playing.. and why would they? They have Xbox, PS3, Netflix, Digital Satellite TV, Super computers on their phones... how can anything compete with that?
