Said decision shall include a date for the preliminary conference if appropriate.

Theme: Steal From the Rich & Give to the Poor — Four actors who played Robin Hood on the silver screen.
- 18A: "Kiss the Girls" actor (1993) (CARY ELWES).
- 25A: "Gladiator" Oscar winner (2010). (RUSSELL CROWE).
- 38A: "Captain Blood" star (1938) (ERROL FLYNN).
- 53A: "Field of Dreams" star (1991) (KEVIN COSTNER).
- 64A: Role played by each of the four actors in the year indicated in their clues (ROBIN HOOD).
We've got a nice cross-section of films represented here. "The Adventures of Robin Hood" was a classic '30s swashbuckler. "Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves" was a straightforward telling of the legend, and it was followed a couple years later by the spoof "Robin Hood: Men in Tights." And finally a grimy & gritty version in 2010, "Robin Hood." I own a baseball cap from the 2010 "Robin Hood" film, and I was actually wearing it over the weekend. It was a gift from PuzzleSister! She won the hat in a drawing at the 2010 L.A. Crossword Tournament, and I pouted until she gave it to me. She's awesome.
- 1A: iPhone add-ons (APPS). My phone has no apps. And no internet. And no camera. It barely makes phone calls.
- 36A: Potted plant site (SILL). And in cartoons, a place where you leave pies to cool. I'd love to swipe a pie from a windowsill, but I've never found one in real life. Why do cartoons lie to me? I also discovered the hard way that vanishing cream doesn't really make you invisible.
- 46A: Items included in envs. (ENCS). Enclosures in envelopes. This is my least favorite entry today, and I'm not going to dwell on it.
- 69A: Lunatics (MADMEN). I'm surprised this wasn't clued with a reference to the TV program "Mad Men." Sometimes I feel like I'm the only person in the country who's never seen that show. Oh well. Maybe I can catch it on Netflix after I finish watching all my Tom & Jerry DVDs.
- 12D: Eloi predator (MORLOCK). Love this entry. And a great use of the crosswordese staple ELOI in the clue.
- 32D: Birds' biological class (AVES). I believe Gareth is studying to be a veterinarian, so this one's right up his alley.
- 40D: Marg : Brits :: ___ : Americans (OLEO). So the actress from "CSI" should be called Oleo Helgenberger? Or maybe "marg" is just short for margarine.
- 47D: Read the riot act (CHEW OUT). Love this entry too.
- 61D: Pinup's leg (GAM). This is one of my favorite old-timey words. You'll have to Google your own picture. I don't want PuzzleGirl to chew me out.

There are many things that make pizza a not so healthy snack. You can eat it once a week, but we recommend staying away from eating it more than that. We do know that pizza contains a very healthy amount of protein.
A typical pizza contains 15 percent fats, 7 percent cholesterol and several other percentages. You should always avoid eating pizza for breakfast because it's not a great type of food to get you started for the day. Unfortunately, about 36 percent of Americans consider pizza to be a great breakfast food.
If your pizza is making you sick, there are several things that you can do about it. The first – stop eating it! One of the major causes of obesity and other health-related problems is obesity. Today, a number of different foods can even cause you to break out. A pizza maker oven could be just what you need.
How Pizza Causes Constipation
What you probably didn't know is that pizza actually causes constipation. During 1970, a typical slice of pizza contained about 500 calories. Today, an average slice can deliver as many as 850 calories. About 62 percent of all pizza toppings that are ordered by Americans consist of meats.
Nearly 100 percent of Americans eat pizza frequently. When you consider the level of customization that it allows, it's no wonder so many people love it. Most pizza is classified as junk food, and the main reason why is because it contains a lot of refined ingredients.
You want to stay away from these ingredients if you plan on staying healthy. The different between a healthy pizza, and one that is very unhealthy, lies in the ingredients. You can always use a pizza oven to get good results.

I'm nearly finished building my first ply kiteboard and am just in the process of sealing it with West System epoxy. Problem is though that its mid winter and about 5oC outside so epoxy is acting like thick honey. At the moment I'm using a grouting speader to give a fairly even coating and then "tipping of" with a brush so that I get a reasonable finish. The Epoxy is starting to cure though before I'm happy with the finish so was wondering if there were any tricks that I am missing out on? What's the best method of application and how thick should I really be applying it?
Tips would be helpful, if not for this board then for my next.
Cheers ,

I just put my 8 year old daughter to bed & I need to brag on her a bit, plus let you know about the great book we read and discussed.
I'm working on a program for "Banned Books Week," which many libraries observe every year at the end of September. My research tells me that top of the list the past three years or so is a picture book called And Tango Makes Three, by Justin Richardson and Peter Parnell. So I checked it out and when my daughter saw it today with its three adorable penguins on the cover, she picked it up and started to read. I asked her to wait so I could read it with her at bedtime.
Spoiler alert - I'm gonna tell the whole story in this next paragraph.
It's based on an actual event involving two male chinstrap penguins in the Central Park Zoo. The penguin keeper notices that the two have become a couple, have built a nest, and are trying together to hatch a rock, having been unsuccessful at laying an egg! When a spare egg becomes available, the keeper slips it into their nest. They tend it and hatch it and raise a baby girl penguin, which the keeper names "Tango," because it takes two to make a tango.
My daughter wanted to know why this book has been banned so often. I asked if she knew what a homosexual is - no. So I explained. I said that some people are attracted to their own gender, so instead of a man and woman falling in love it might be a man and a man or a woman and a woman. Then I said that some religions think it's wrong to be homosexual; they think God doesn't like homosexuality.
Her reaction: "If God created it, why wouldn't he like it?"
I explained that some people don't understand that homosexuality is built-in, rather than a choice.
There is some criticism of this book based on the idea that it describes an anomalous situation, not a natural one, since the penguins are in a zoo. Also, in real life one of the penguin daddies switched teams later and hooked up with a female! This is supposed to somehow invalidate the message of the book. These critics seem to expect that the book should offer sound scientific evidence that homosexuality is natural. They are missing the point! It's a love story, not a science text book.
My daughter was totally charmed by this story, as was I. It opened up her interest and allowed for a teaching moment about what homosexuality is. Look how easily she blew past the religious reasoning against it! We also discussed gay marriage and she seemed a bit shocked and incensed to discover that it isn't allowed in most states. She said "That's not fair!" and she thinks gay couples should all move to the good states so they can get married.
I'll make a point of saying this: I just gave her the facts. Her opinions are her own. I think this goes to show that acceptance is natural, whereas hate must be taught.
And Tango Makes Three is a great book for kids who are adopted, or kids who are in any kind of non-traditional family, or for anyone who likes penguins or love stories or love stories about penguins, or for any parent who wants to introduce their kids to the concept of homosexuality the right way before the local yahoos on the playground do it with pejoratives, ignorance, and prejudice.

Combine garlic, vinegar, oregano, parsley, honey and salt in a blender and blend until smooth. With the motor running, slowly add the oil and process until emulsified. Stir in the red chile flakes.
Place potatoes in a medium saucepan, cover with cold water and add 1 tablespoon of salt. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook until a paring knife inserted comes out with some resistance. Do not cook the potatoes all the way through because they will continue cooking on the grill. Drain well and when cool enough to handle, slice in half lengthwise.
Heat the grill to medium.
Brush the chicken and potatoes with oil and season with salt and pepper. Place the chicken on the grill, skin-side down and grill until golden brown and slightly charred, 6 to 7 minutes. Turn the chicken over and continue grilling until just cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes. A few minutes before the chicken has finished cooking, place the potatoes on the grill, cut-side down and cook until lightly golden brown, about 2 minutes. Turn over and continue grilling about a minute longer. Remove the chicken and potatoes to a platter and immediately drizzle with the roasted garlic-oregano vinaigrette. Let rest 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with oregano sprigs and parsley sprigs.

Russia has several pieces of legislation that address genetically modified organisms. Only few regulations exist for traceability.
Only few laws include aspects of traceability:
Russia has no regulations on co-existence and little on identity preservation or traceability. The import of certain GMOs for food and feed has been permitted. Food products must be labelled if they contain more than 5 percent of an approved GMO. The tolerance threshold for non-approved GMOs is 0.1 percent. The Russian Federal Law "On the Protection of Consumers' Rights" was amended in December 2004 to require that consumers be informed about the presence of genetically engineered ingredients in food products. However, the threshold was not defined and a debate ensued on whether the level should remain at five percent or be decreased to zero.
On January 24, 2006 Gennadiy G. Onishchenko, Head of the Federal Service for Surveillance in the Sphere of Consumer Rights Protection and Human Well-Being, clarified through letter #0100/446-0632 that consumer labelling is required for food products containing more than 0.9 percent GMO content.
Although the letter of the Head of the Federal Service does not have the force of a federal law, it provides official instructions to employees (the inspectors) of the Federal Service for Surveillance in the Sphere of Consumer Rights Protection and Human Well-Being on how to implement the Federal Law on Protection of Consumers Rights.
There is no liability scheme in case of co-existence problems.
General post-market monitoring is mandatory for all approved genetically modified plants to assess long-term risks. Monitoring also occurs to check for compliance with the labelling threshold.

My great friend, Becca, who has gone AMAZING places with her blog, gave me, little ol me, for getting her started on her AMAZING blog…but you'd never guess it based on my postings here lately. I do indeed have another blog, a family one, I've fallen behind on too, to simply be a mom. Motherhood is wonderful, as is being a career woman, and finding time for myself in all of that gets more challenging every year.
But I'm happy, really happy, to be where I am in my life, with my wonderful friends and family, even though I can't post about it as much as I'd like.
I am thankful, truly thankful today, for everyone who is a part of my life. You are wonderful to me and make my days and life so great.

Ryan Innes Blows the Coaches Away With 'Gravity' on 'The Voice'
Ryan Innes, the final performer on tonight's (April 8) blind audition episode of 'The Voice,' wowed the entire panel of coaches with his version of John Mayer's 'Gravity.' With only a few slots left on each coach's team, they have to be choosier and more careful when finalizing their teams, and that's why they all turned their chairs around for Innes, 31, who had planned to get married and be a doctor.
He turned to music to get through the crippling relationship loss and abandoned the medical career. He's a lounge singer doing corporate gigs and weddings, and he wants to take it to the next level. Innes is a big man with a bigger, bluesy voice. He may be late to the music party, but he is making the most noise.
Adam Levine has been winning the four chair turns this season, and that's just what this was. "Ryan's got soul, doesn't he," Blake Shelton said rhetorically. Usher waited to turn his chair so he could savor his soul-packed and substance-infused voice, which shook the entire room. Shakira said she was floating in her chair while he sang.
The four coaches fawned over Innes, but he eventually chose to partner up with Usher, who believes he won Innes over since he didn't oversell like Adam and Blake did.

Research Data Management in General
Digital data is both a product and an object of research. Researchers have the responsibility to protect and secure this research data and to safeguard its accurate processing. The appropriate management of research data is of central importance for the attractiveness and competitiveness of a university.
What is Research Data Management?
Research Data Management is a form of project management and workflow control focusing on the handling of research data in science and academia. It is a uniform process that implements methods and processes to ensure the long-term re-usability of research data as well as to organize and control work processes as efficiently as possible. In order to document the methods and processes to be used, it is advisable to create a data management plan right at the beginning of a research project.

"Enough confidence to believe you can solve any design problem and enough humility to understand that most of your initial ideas are probably bad. Enough humility to listen to ideas from other people that may be better than your own and enough confidence to understand that going with other people's ideas does not diminish your value as a designer. True concern for the comfort and happiness of other people, including your users and your teammates."

Lawmakers expressed both anger and bewilderment that IRS leaders had not told Congress sooner about indications that the tax agency had improperly singled out conservatives and Tea Party groups seeking tax-exempt status.
A highly anticipated hearing by the top investigative committee in the Republican-controlled House delivered on the drama that was expected. Lois Lerner, the IRS official in charge of the division accused of wrongdoing, invoked her Fifth Amendment right against testifying, and defiantly asserted her innocence.
"I have not done anything wrong. I have not broken any laws," she said. "I have not violated any IRS rules or regulations and I have not provided any false information to this or any other committee."
IRS Director of Exempt Organizations Lois Lerner addresses a House committee during a hearing on the agency's targeting of political groups.
But her refusal to testify left the hearing on an uncertain note. Republicans only recessed the meeting – versus formally adjourning it – and threatened to re-call Lerner, whom they asserted had waived her Fifth Amendment privileges by making her brief statement.
"I am looking into the possibility of recalling her and insist she answer questions in light of a waiver," said Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., the chairman of the committee.
But much of lawmakers' ire was trained on the IRS leadership for failing to disclose any indication of IRS wrongdoing to the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, whose inquiry into the matter prompted an inspector general inquiry into targeting of conservative groups. Both Democrats and Republicans voiced outrage that Douglas Shulman, the commissioner of the IRS during much of the abuses, did not tell lawmakers that an internal IRS investigation had suggested improper action by the IRS to single out conservative groups.
"At that point, I didn't have anything concrete," Shulman responded. "I didn't have a full set of facts to come back to Congress or the committee with."
His answered angered Democrats as much as Republicans.
"If you didn't know, you were derelict in your duty," said Issa.

House Oversight Committee Chairman Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif. holds up a document as he speaks to IRS official Lois Lerner on Capitol Hill, Wednesday, May 22, 2013, during the committee's hearing to investigate the extra scrutiny IRS gave to Tea Party and other conservative groups that applied for tax-exempt status.
"You misled Congress. Make no question about it … When you learned there was a list, you did nothing," said Rep. Stephen Lynch, D-Mass., who raised the prospect of appointing a special prosecutor in his opening remarks. "You abdicated your responsibility and you allowed Congress to proceed under your prior information that was false, that was untrue."
And for the first time, the IRS inspector general who generated the report that laid out the explosive allegations, J. Russell George, came under scrutiny from lawmakers. Issa pressed George as to why his office hadn't told Congress about indications of targeting at an earlier point during the investigation.
"I think it would behoove all of us to make sure that accurate information is given to Congress so we don't act precipitously," George responded in reference to his office's actions.
The tense exchanges followed a somewhat explosive opening to the hearing, in which Lerner refused to answer lawmakers' questions. But she delivered a brief statement explaining her role at the IRS and denying any wrongdoing.
That statement angered committee conservatives, who said that Lerner had essentially offered testimony, and thus had waived her ability to invoke her constitutional right to not testify. Issa dismissed Lerner nonetheless, but warned that his panel might again seek her testimony in the future. Following her dismissal, Lerner's role remained largely absent through the questioning of the other witnesses.
The scrutiny of the IRS witnesses was characteristic of a hearing that focused far more on the actions of the agency and the subsequent investigation than whether the IRS came under undue influence from the Obama administration to single out conservatives.
The one administration witness, Deputy Treasury Secretary Neal Wolin, denied that he had ever directed the targeting of conservative groups. "Absolutely not, congresswoman," he said in response to a question on that matter, one of the few questions he faced during the hearing.
While Republicans have insinuated for much of the last two weeks that the IRS abuses were part of a "culture of intimidation" within the Obama administration, that line of inquiry generally took a backseat during Wednesday's hearing. (By contrast, Republicans focused on finding ties to Obama much more during a hearing last Friday by the House Ways and Means Committee and a hearing Tuesday before the Senate Finance Committee.)
An exception to that came when Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, linked the Obama administration's assertion that the IRS abuses were limited to rogue employees to its initial assertion following last year's terror attack in Benghazi that it was the outgrowth of a spontaneous protest. (This assertion about Benghazi was eventually proved wrong, and has become another point of contention between the White House and congressional Republicans.)

There was no one around and it was so nice not to have to navigate around people and cars. We met back up later in the early evening to enjoy the sunset. Man, I love this town. I say it all the time, but I really do mean it. How could you not?

I must say, the two at the top are pretty sweet. My favorite is the circular one. Perfect for a belly. The one beside it, as much as I like the design, seems a bit inconsistent. Some of the curls (or whatever ya call 'em) are a little softer than the sharp ones at the bottom. I find tribals look best when they're all one style. Sharp and pointy, or cute and curly. The two on the bottom probably need a little reworking, they seem unfinished somehow. But I love the idea of the coloured one!

WASHINGTON — With enthusiastic support from President-elect Barack Obama, the House on Wednesday passed a bill to expand the Children's Health Insurance Program. President Bush twice had vetoed similar legislation.
Mr. Obama will probably be able to sign the bill within days of taking office on Tuesday. The Senate might take action within a week.
The House vote was 289 to 139. Supporters never mustered more than 273 votes for similar legislation in the last two years.
The bill, which would extend coverage to four million uninsured children, symbolizes the shift in priorities in Washington. The vote came five days after the House, defying a veto threat from Mr. Bush, passed two bills to combat sex discrimination by employers who pay women less than men doing the same or substantially similar work.
The child health bill would provide $32.3 billion over four and a half years to continue coverage for seven million children who now rely on the program and to extend coverage to more than four million who are uninsured.Continue reading the main story
"This is a day of triumph for America's children," Speaker Nancy Pelosi of California said. "We put women and children first."
After years of frustration, Democrats were exultant.
"Today is a new day," Representative Dave Loebsack of Iowa. Representative Chris Van Hollen, Democrat of Maryland, said, "Passing this bill sends a very important signal that change has come to Washington as a result of the last election."
Representative Frank Pallone, Democrat of New Jersey, said the bill was a down payment on Mr. Obama's promise to make health insurance available to all Americans
"In this moment of crisis, ensuring that every child in America has access to affordable health care is not just good economic policy, but a moral obligation we hold as parents and citizens," Mr. Obama said in a statement."That is why I'm so pleased that Democrats and Republicans in the House of Representatives came together to provide health insurance to over ten million children whose families have been hurt most by this downturn. This coverage is critical, it is fully paid for, and I hope that the Senate acts with the same sense of urgency so that it can be one of the first measures I sign into law when I am President."
The Senate Finance Committee is expected to approve a similar bill on Thursday, with action by the full Senate to follow quickly.
The bills would be financed by an increase in tobacco taxes, including a 61-cent increase in the tax on cigarettes, to $1 pack.
The House bill includes a major new provision that would allow states to restore health insurance benefits to legal immigrants under 21. Under current law, legal immigrants are generally barred from Medicaid and the State Children's Health Insurance Program for five years after they enter the United States. The House bill would allow states to do away with that waiting period for children and pregnant women.
House Republicans raised several objections to the bill. While the cost of the child health program will increase, they said, tobacco revenues will not, so the government will face a widening gap that will probably be filled with additional tax increases in the future.
Moreover, Republicans said, under the bill, some of the money will be spent to provide public coverage for children who already have private health insurance through their parents' employers.
Republicans also complained that the bill did not require states to cover the poorest children first, before covering children from middle-income families.
But the difference between the old Congress and the new one was illustrated by the vote of Representative Alan Grayson, Democrat of Florida, who defeated Representative Ric Keller, a Republican, in November.
In explaining why he voted for the bill on Wednesday, Mr. Grayson said: "I was a very sick child. I had to go to the hospital four times a week for treatment. If it weren't for my parents' union health benefits, I would not be here today." By contrast, Mr. Keller voted against nearly identical bills.
Another new House member, Kathy Dahlkemper of Pennsylvania, said she too had been inspired by her own experience.
"One of my goals in running for Congress was to ensure that all eligible kids have health care," Ms. Dahlkemper said. "I gave birth to one of my children without health insurance due to having a pre-existing condition at the change of a job, and that pre-existing condition was pregnancy."
Democrats said the recession and rising unemployment had increased the need for the bill. Since the House last voted on the issue in January 2008, the number of unemployed has increased nearly 50 percent, to 11.1 million. People often lose health insurance when they lose their jobs.
"At a time of rising unemployment, this legislation is more important than ever," said Representative Mike McMahon, a freshman Democrat from New York.Continue reading the main story

Taxi travel in Denmark
Licenced taxis are readily available all over Denmark. It's possible to hail them on the street, if the taxi light on their roof is on. You can also pick one up at the many taxi ranks in cities and towns, or by booking one in advance. Booking a taxi in advance will be slightly more expensive than hailing one.
How it works
Tipping is always included in the fare. If you have big luggage that needs to go on an outside rack, you will be charged extra. Most taxi drivers speak English and all will give you a receipt at the end of your ride. Drivers are required to display their licence number and rate cards. Payment can be made with cash or with credit card.
Taxi rates
A typical trip from Copenhagen Airport to Copenhagen will cost between 250kr and 300kr.

As North Korea announces the nullification of the 1953 armistice, so notes my daughter, this report arrives via the Boston Globe (not the Onion):
CAMBRIDGE — America's top military officer in charge of monitoring hostile actions by North Korea, escalating tensions between China and Japan, and a spike in computer attacks traced to China provides an unexpected answer when asked what is the biggest long-term security threat in the Pacific region: climate change.
Navy Admiral Samuel J. Locklear III, in an interview at a Cambridge hotel Friday after he met with scholars at Harvard and Tufts universities, said significant upheaval related to the warming planet "is probably the most likely thing that is going to happen . . . that will cripple the security environment, probably more likely than the other scenarios we all often talk about.''
"People are surprised sometimes," he added, describing the reaction to his assessment. "You have the real potential here in the not-too-distant future of nations displaced by rising sea level. Certainly weather patterns are more severe than they have been in the past. We are on super typhoon 27 or 28 this year in the Western Pacific. The average is about 17."
Shhh! This kind of thing could push Rep. Hank Johnson over the edge.

Who doesn't suffer from having their iPad and iPhone tumble around their BMW? How do you keep them properly held? To tout its own devices, BMW commissioned a few DIY projects that would give Ray LaHood a conniption.
The BMW accessories turns out to be a little more zoot than the plywood and cuckoo-clock weight version; the iPad cradle mounts on the seat, charges through a hidden cable and acts as a stand outside of the car. The accessories are European-only at the moment and haven't been priced, but the current U.S. version of BMW's iPhone holder can be yours for only $152.94.
Thanks, but no thanks. We think we'd rather try our own do-it-yourself versions, thank you very much.

Cherry and Chocolate Sourdough Boule
My first blog post here. :)
This loaf is a modification of the Tartine bakery formula and method. I wish I could figure out a way to prevent solids added to the dough from popping out after shaping. The cherries on the surface charred a bit much but the rest of the bread is so nice that I can overlook that fault. Lovely untoasted with butter.
Cherry and Chocolate Sourdough Boule
100 g. leaven
375 g. water
500 g. unbleached organic white flour
10 g. sea salt
100 g. dried Montmorency cherries
50 g. dark chocolate, broken in pieces
Mix 100% hydration starter with equal amounts of water and flour to yield enough for 100 g. of leaven plus extra if needed to store (i.e. 40 g. starter, 40 g. water, 40 g. flour). Allow to rise to peak. Mix 100 g. leaven with 350 g. water, add flour, and mix with hands. Autolyse for 45 minutes. Add remaining 25 g. water and salt. Mix with hands. Fold in chocolate and cherries. Do stretch and folds in bowl every 30 minutes for 2 1/2 hours. Pre-shape and rest for 20 minutes. Shape and put in floured banetton. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
Pre-heat dutch oven at 550F. Place boule in dutch oven and slash. Reduce oven temperature to 450F and bake covered for 20 minutes and uncovered for 25 minutes.

Things are heating up for the men of the CW Philly! Stephen Amell (Arrow) confirms in a Facebook Q & A that he had a meeting to discuss playing Christian Grey in the much anticipated Fifty Shades of Grey movie.
But Amell warns fans to not get too excited yet. He says, "That project is a long way off. I know this, because I had a meeting about it. Long way off."
Amell is not the only CW hunk rumored to be up for the coveted role. Ian Somerhalder of The Vampire Diaries has also been in discussions to play Mr. Grey.
Somerhalder says of the project, "There are so many young boys in Hollywood up for this role. I think they have a very big job ahead of them casting this role. I can't say anything other than it's a very interesting story, and whoever plays that role is going to have a lot of fun come rehearsal time."
We don't know who will ultimately get the role but we definitely support both of these choices!

Rework the adding of dependancies in Mk/bsd.gstreamer.mk.
Previous when using USE_GSTREAMER[1] it would just add the request modules to
BUILD/RUN_DEPENDS. This caused the qa script to complain because the old code
didn't implicit depend on the gstreamer1 and gstreamer1-plugins[-bad] ports for
the libraries they carried, even if they where present via the plugins! The new
code adds implicit depends on these ports so USE_GSTREAMER[1] using ports have
all the libraries included.

Switch over ports that used the gstreamer1 mad plugin.
* gtksink plugin renamed -> gtk
* Hook up the sndio plugin into the framework
* Add some indirect dependacies where needed
* Reorder the plugin list in bsd.gstreamer.mk so only one plugin per line. When
changing plugins it doesn't result in multiple lines being changed.
* Remove mentions in bsd.gstreamer.mk of plugins mentions that where removed.
* Depend on libunwind on i386/amd64, GStreamer links to it if it is present.

Update gstreamer 1.0 ports to version 1.2.4.
When linking a library libA with a library libB using libtool, if libB.la
exists, libtool will add all libraries libB.la refers to (dependency_libs
field) to the linker command line and store them in the dependency_libs
field of libA.la. So everything that subsequently links with libA will also
link to these extra libraries. This causes too much overlinking.
This commit modifies Mk/Uses/libtool.mk so it empties the dependency_libs
field in .la libraries during staging. However, because .la libraries have
very limited use when dependency_libs is empty it makes sense to completely
remove them during staging.
So with this commit USES=libtool is modified to remove .la libraries and a
new form (USES=libtool:keepla) is introduced in case they need to be kept
(dependency_libs is still emptied).

Charlotte Hornets
Hornets coach Steve Clifford's priorities in roster-building: More size and experience
Charlotte Hornets coach Steve Clifford said repeatedly over the past few weeks he's no expert on the NBA draft. He's too busy during the season with his own team to watch much college or international basketball.
So Clifford will defer to general manager Rich Cho and his scouts Thursday night on how best to use the Nos. 9, 24 and 45 selections. That doesn't mean, however, that Clifford lacks for opinions on how he'd like the roster to evolve between the draft and free agency.
Clifford has been made available to local media after most of the Hornets' pre-draft workouts. Two themes have emerged from his comments: When it's a close choice between players, bigger is better. And given a choice between experience and potential, Clifford leans toward experience.
Clifford mentioned several times that the lesson other teams can draw from this season's playoffs is size counts for plenty in terms of who advances and ultimately wins the title.
"With (NBA champion) San Antonio, one of the reasons they got back to the top is they knew they needed more size along the perimeter. So they went out and got (6-foot-7 small forward) Kawhi Leonard," Clifford said recently.
"At the end of the day, (the NBA) is still a matchup league. It's different from college, which is more five-man basketball. In the playoffs, you're going to go at matchups. You've got to have guys (big enough to) get their own shots and guys to make it hard on those guys."
This is not a new approach, so much as an amplification of what Clifford said before training camp last fall. At a media luncheon during September, Clifford was asked if he'd go small in his lineup much. He joked in reply that going small in the NBA is fine "unless you want to win."
"The going-small thing will win you a game here or there, but you're going nowhere," Clifford said this spring. "If you're trying to build a team game for the playoffs, why do it?"
From Michigan's Nik Stauskas to North Carolina's P.J. Hairston to Syracuse's Jerami Grant, Clifford made a habit of praising "true NBA size" as a factor in these draft decisions. Grant is a good example: He's 6-8 and will have a challenge transitioning from college power forward to NBA small forward. But he has a wingspan in excess of 7 feet, which caught Clifford's attention.
"It shows up on defense in helping with your wingspan," Clifford said. "You get to (late rounds of the playoffs) and they're taking away your plays. That's when size becomes critical – size and quickness."
With that in mind, consider the Hornets' size: The Observer studied the average height of the five starting spots among the 30 NBA teams, comparing them to the Hornets' starters this season.
That study indicates the Hornets were small compared to the average starting lineup and the lineups of teams that advanced deep into the playoffs, but not by a lot.
Point guard Kemba Walker, small forward Michael Kidd-Gilchrist and center Al Jefferson each was about an inch shorter than his average starting peer. Jefferson, at 6-10, was about 2 inches shorter than the average starting center among playoff teams this spring.
But Clifford wasn't just talking about starter-vs.-starter. Specific to the Spurs, Clifford was talking about the options coach Gregg Popovich had to defend various big men between Tim Duncan, Tiago Splitter and Boris Diaw.
Combine that with the skill level of Duncan and Diaw, and you have a team that dominated the defending champion Miami Heat.
"Size is always good and shooting is always good," Clifford said. "You can't have too much of either."
The experience-vs.-potential balance is something Clifford mentioned occasionally during the season. At roughly the All-Star break during February, when it became clear Jefferson's presence was getting the then-Bobcats into playoff contention, Clifford told his players he was done making "developmental" decisions concerning playing time.
That meant no more parsing out minutes just because one player was younger or a former high draft pick. Clifford coached the rest of the season for now, not the future.
"I think you always want guys who have performed vs. guys who have potential," Clifford said of the experience/youth mix.
Clifford often has said there were just a handful of rookies during his 14 years in the NBA who were ready to truly impact games.
"If you want to go back and look at it, (Dwyane) Wade was a go-to guy right away, Carmelo (Anthony) was, LeBron (James) obviously was, Damian Lillard was," Clifford said. "But it's hard to go back in my time and find a lot of (rookies) who come in and make real impact on good teams."
This is where the natural checks and balances between coach and general manager come into play. Cho often has talked about not bargaining away long-term flexibility for short-term gain. He also has mentioned the value of always having a portion of your roster on the rookie pay scale; that reduces payroll and keeps a team away from the luxury-tax threshold.
Cho said he's conscious of Clifford's priorities and they work well together.
"The front office and coaching staff have to be on the same page. I don't think they necessary have to be on the same sentence, but they have to be on the same page," Cho said. "And I think we're on the same page as far as team needs."
Note: The Hornets will bring back Duke's Rodney Hood and Clemson's K.J. McDaniels for a Tuesday pre-draft workout. Hood, a candidate for the ninth pick, had to cut a previous workout short when he became ill. Others scheduled for the workout: Jordan Adams from UCLA, Jabari Brown from Missouri, Jarell Eddie from Virginia Tech and Lamar Patterson from Pittsburgh.

World of Year Zero
There is a lot going on regarding the events surrounding Year Zero and the current future world, where Year Zero takes place. This is to inform new and old users alike of everything going on. According to Trent, Year Zero takes place about 15 years in the future, which would be 2022. There is also a Year Zero Timeline being compiled.
A series of highlighted letters have been found on a Nine Inch Nails tour shirt which spell out the words "I am trying to believe," leading users to iamtryingtobelieve.com. This site details numerous things going on in this time line, such as the Parepin drug and The Presence. Using the track list to the album, people discovered numerous related websites.
The first of these additional websites, anotherversionofthetruth.com, displays what looks to be a propaganda poster. Clicking and dragging portions of the image reveals it "tears away" into a much more negative image, linking to a message board in which users have been discussing various aspects of society, including handing out links to various audio files and links to other related websites.
More websites have popped up through context, giving more information as to what is happening in the universe and specifying more details, opening up more puzzles, and inspiring the community to dig deeper to explore more of this world.
On February 14th, 2007, "My Violent Heart", track eight of Year Zero, was "leaked" to the Internet. On February 15th, the first single, Survivalism, was played on KROQ radio and then other radio stations throughout the day, marking its official air date, over a week ahead of schedule. A full-quality rip soon ended up on the Internet.
The Year Zero Research Page is being constantly updated to track recent developments, theories, and essentially organize the Year Zero events into a cohesive storyline.

I found this in my files and know it wasn't ever posted... not sure why, but thought I'd throw it up now even though it is very old. If it was posted, it deserves a revisit anyway. This was a few years after my Gastric Bypass (done in 2001) when I was still down over 150 pounds (I initially lost 190 pounds). Yeah, yeah, I've re-gained a tad (all but about 80 pounds), but that isn't the topic here. Here, I talk about one of the physical drags of my thinner days.
- So, having lots of extra thigh skin, I jiggle lots in the area around my yoni. Pants fit stupidly, so I wear skirts most of the time or huge, elephant-legged pants that Nordstrom sells each year. (Sadly, I didn't get any new ones this year.) When I am thinner, the skin drapes. It folds like Broadway curtains opened for that night's show. Fatter, it isn't as draping, but there are still amazing wrinkles and gobs of rolls that remind me I used to weigh over 100 pounds more than I do right now.
Before the gastric bypass, I used to get horrid yeasties on my thighs, under my belly and under my breasts. My thighs rubbed raw even walking to the end of the driveway to get the paper. Pain from skin friction was a fact of my life.
When I was in junior high, it was de rigeur to wear panty hose and my mom, also a chunky woman, wore support hose, so I took hers and wore those. Because of my thighs, it wasn't half a day before I rubbed a hole through the hose and had a nylon burn on my inner thighs. Walking through the rest of the day – and then marching on the field in band as I played my flute after school in the Orlando heat – was ever so much fun, even if I took the pantyhose off; I still was in agony.
Creatively, I came up with a variety of solutions – putting a hankie (too small) and then a bandana inside the pantyhose, one half down one side covering one thigh, the other half covering the other thigh – and that worked well until the bandana wriggled loose because the hose's crotch fell down (because they were too tight) and I had to re-position it over and over, or it wouldn't stay put at all. Then, all bets were off.
I tried Vaseline once. I might have gone home within an hour after getting to school after that experiment. (Same time period that I put Vaseline on my lips at the beach to keep my lips from burning. I ended up with the hugest blisters ever – Vaseline being GREASE, attracting the sun like my lips were the frying pan.)
I used corn starch like crazy ("What the hell is this all over the bathroom floor?!?") after realizing baby powder didn't work at all. I took corn starch to school with me in baggies closed with the rubber bands from the newspaper. This was in the day before Ziploc bags and before newspapers all came in plastic bags in Florida. I spilled cornstarch all over my books and notebooks more times than I can count.
I loved when elephant bells came into style and I could wear pants while not showing or burning my thighs. Whenever I wore pants before that, my thighs rubbed together so much, I made holes in them and we just didn't have the money to get new ones, so I wore skirts most of the time. Oh, and of course, to make it even worse, corduroys were what everyone wore and those pants made some NOISE when one walked, not to mention when a fat girl walked. Blech.
Some time after high school, I was at a weight loss seminar and someone told me about knickers. My head spun with the thought of my entire childhood re-lived without burned/chafed/scabbed thighs and the woman continued telling me about medieval festivals and how many of the women there are fat and they have knickers there – I should go! Right after that meeting and the epiphany that there was a cure to painful thighs, bike shorts for fat women came along. Some of you might have been hollering at the screen this whole time, "Bike shorts! Go get some bike shorts!" but there was no such thing for the first half of my life. Not for big girls.
I remember the first time I put on a pair of bike shorts as if it was the first time I kissed a delightful lover. I am sure I got tears in my eyes as I felt the reality of never having to cope with nylon burned thighs again.
While I did have to contend with yeasties for many, many more years (I didn't know it was yeast) and didn't figure out to use Monistat for farrrrrrr too long (I tried that cornstarch again, diaper rash cream, Vaseline (again), putting bandanas under my pannus (the dangling belly) and using a hair dryer to keep it dry, at least my thighs were safe.
Until the gastric bypass. While I don't get rub burn anymore. There is a new danger.
Toilet seats.
I pull my skirt up, throw it over my shoulder, pull my choni's down, and sit on the toilet like the rest of y'all (who don't hover - hovering is far too difficult for me). However, somehow, my thigh skin gets caught under the toilet seat and as I sit down, I pinch my thigh skin with all the weight of my body and scream as I jump up, nearly peeing on myself and ending up with a 2-6 inch long, teeny-thin purple bruise that lasts for days that I feel every time my right foot passes by my left foot.
How does this happen? It isn't frequent, but it's enough to be extremely annoying (and distressing!). I sit really slowly, pull my thigh skin forward so it doesn't go near the seat most of the time, but sometimes I forget, still sit slowly – sometimes it happens, the great majority of the time, it doesn't. Very weird.
It never happened when I had lots of fat on my thigh. Only now with skin flaps. (I don't want to trade, thanks.)
Anyway, I just thought I'd write about this because last night, I was having a pleasant evening with my family and went potty right before leaving and smashed my thigh skin but good. Today, I am sporting a loverly mark left over and it's annoying. Reminds me of the rub rash days. Which were humiliating.
It's funny (as an aside). I was so, so fat as a kid. Yet, by today's standards, I wouldn't have been fat at all. I would have been on the slimmer side of chunky. I wonder what my childhood would have been like – what I would be like – if I hadn't have had all that heart pain from being fat.
No going back, though. It's what it was.
