The BBC today announces its television coverage of Glastonbury 2010, unveiling comprehensive and exclusive coverage from Worthy Farm.
From Friday 25 to Sunday 27 June, there will be programming across BBC Two, BBC Three and BBC Four and on four Red Button streams, complemented by live BBC Radio coverage from BBC 6 Music and BBC Radio 1 and a host of offerings at bbc.co.uk/glastonbury.
Celebrating the festival's 40th birthday year, the award-winning BBC television coverage comes together on BBC Two, BBC Three and BBC Four and on Red Button, to bring viewers three days of glorious live music across four stages.
Across the programming, viewers can enjoy live headline sets from the likes of Gorillaz and Muse; classic acts like Ray Davies and Jackson Browne; the hottest British acts from Dizzee Rascal to Florence and the Machine; experience Willie Nelson and Snoop Dogg; and sample unsigned acts on the BBC Introducing stage.
They can also explore cutting-edge bands from the John Peel Tent and groove to music from around the world on the West Holts Stage, formerly the Jazz/World Stage.
In addition to these musical treats, viewers can meet the people who make Glastonbury what it is – the entertainers, circus and cabaret acts, the workers and the crowd that have made Glastonbury the world's paramount live music festival – all brought to your armchair courtesy of BBC television, Red Button, Radio and Online.
Jan Younghusband, BBC Commissioning Editor, Music & Events, says: "It is a great privilege to be working with Glastonbury in this special birthday year.
"With the help of our expert presenters, we will bring one of the world's greatest cultural events directly to the viewers over a weekend of live music entertainment across TV, Radio and Online."
Mark Cooper, Creative Head, BBC Music Entertainment, adds: "We can't wait to get back to Glastonbury, come rain or shine.
"Ever since the BBC's first TV broadcast from Worthy Farm, back in 1997 when we captured Radiohead going live into Paranoid Android in a sea of mud, our TV team look forward to the challenge of filming as many stages as possible for as long as we can amongst a huge crowd of very happy people!"
BBC Two's coverage is presented by Jo Whiley, Lauren Laverne, Mark Radcliffe and Zane Lowe and combines live performances, festival highlights, interviews and special acoustic sets across the weekend.
With live headline sets from major artists, including Gorillaz and Muse, BBC Two also has extended highlights of each day's events into the early hours of the morning.
Viewers can watch the best of the festival with a two-hour highlights programme on Friday 2 July at 11pm.
BBC Three programming is presented by Edith Bowman and Reggie Yates and kicks off the BBC's television coverage on Friday evening with Vampire Weekend and Florence and the Machine.
They are followed by a transatlantic hip-hop clash with Dizzee Rascal and Snoop Dogg. Saturday's coverage includes sets from Shakira, The Cribs, Scissor Sisters and Pet Shop Boys, while Faithless are covered live on Sunday.
BBC Three viewers are encouraged to share their thoughts about the live artists and guest interviewees on Twitter and Facebook, via their own dedicated Glastonbury hashtag. There is also a highlights programme on Monday 28 June at 7pm.
BBC Four's coverage is hosted by Mark Radcliffe and includes sets from a discerning blend of heritage artists and critically acclaimed favourites. Friday's programming showcases Corinne Bailey Rae, Willie Nelson, Seasick Steve and Groove Armada, while Saturday sees performances from Jackson Browne and The National. Sunday sees sets from Jack Johnson, Norah Jones and Toots & The Maytals.
BBC Four's coverage is preceded on Sunday 20 June (9pm) by the two-hour documentary Glastonbury at 40 – From Avalon To Jay-Z, which celebrates all of the iconic things now associated with this great performing arts festival.
Red Button coverage includes performances from all four stages during the festival, with 6 Music presenters Craig Charles and Cerys Matthews appearing on all streams. The BBC Introducing stage is also showcased on the Red Button each day.
The BBC's dedicated website – bbc.co.uk/glastonbury – launched on 7 June with a major new section called Archive. Archive mines the BBC archives showing highlights from every year of the festival to date. Audiences are invited to add their own Glastonbury memories.
In conjunction with 6 Music listeners, there is an online vote on the greatest Glastonbury performances. The results are announced on Thursday 24 June.
A Glastonbury quiz goes live at the end of this week and can be accessed via the site and on mobile and Facebook.
During the festival, the site will offer live streaming across the weekend, visualising 6 Music's activities plus several performances.
Following the weekend's coverage, there are extended highlights of 60 performances from the Pyramid, Other, John Peel, West Holts and BBC Introducing stages. The iPlayer broadcasts are also aggregated into the site.

The days of the old tailpipe smog check are numbered.
The days of the old tailpipe smog check are numbered.
Starting next week, state officials will roll out a new program they say should result in faster and cheaper tests that will help reduce auto emissions in California.
First, cars targeted as likely gross polluters will be routed to specially certified smog check stations that will be subject to stricter oversight by the state.
Then, sometime next year, cars model year 2000 or newer will no longer have their tailpipe emissions tested on treadmill-like machines known as dynamometers. Instead, technicians will plug into the vehicles' on-board computers to find out how well the cars perform when they're actually on the road.
The new plan, known as STAR, replaces the state's Gold Shield program.
The need for change is clear, officials say. A 2009 audit found that 19 percent of cars that initially passed a smog check ended up failing a roadside inspection within a year.
"We want to make sure the people testing those vehicles are doing a good job of it," said Russ Heimerich, a spokesman for the state Department of Consumer Affairs, which includes the Bureau of Automotive Repair.
The software needed to monitor diagnostic computers will prove cheaper than the dynamometers, Heimerich said. That, in turn, should bring down the price drivers pay for the every-other-year tests.
For smog shop owners, the program is probably a mixed bag, said Steve Griffen, owner of Country Club Smog in Stockton.
Griffen is skeptical that the cost will come down much - if at all.
"My rents are not going to drop, and what I pay my people is not going to drop," Griffen said. "We have no intention of lowering our prices."
He said he does expect the tests to be quicker.
San Francisco attorney William Ferreira, who specializes in automotive cases, filed a lawsuit earlier this year attempting to block the program on behalf of a Southern California smog shop.
Many stations will be unable to qualify to meet the new, stricter standards required by the state to test older and dirtier cars, Ferreira said. That could effectively force them out of business.
Some of those standards are not within the control of smog-test-business owners, he said. For instance, whether cars remain in compliance after passing a smog check depends on many factors, such as the number of miles drivers put on those cars and whether they are properly maintained.
In the end there will be fewer smog stations, Ferreira said, which could actually drive up prices and increase wait times - precisely the opposite of what the state has predicted.
"There may not be a certified facility within 10 or 15 miles of your home," he said. "Driving across town, long waits and long lines - it really is that drastic."
The Bureau of Automotive Repair and the California Air Resources Board sponsored 2010 legislation to revamp the smog check program, a "major upgrade" in technology that would have the same effect as removing 800,000 old cars off the road.

Twelve tips of Christmas: #3 A crisis shared is a crisis made a lot more manageable over the holidays
One of the biggest problems crisis managers face is that by definition you're on call 24/7. Of course, thankfully, that's not to say most of us actually get the dreaded 2am phone call on a regular basis.
Being on call is a cost of doing business, and if you weren't prepared to do it you wouldn't work in crisis management. But, being permanently available is untenable. We talk about the "holiday season" because it's just that – a time of year where people take scheduled holidays.
So, there are two implications for crisis managers. The first is obvious – make sure you have the people available to manage a crisis if and when one arises, because your usual team will probably be affected by holidays. If you've read either of the last two posts on this topic you've probably seen quite a lot of reinforcement of that particular message!
But the second implication is easily over-looked by busy crisis managers, and it's this: take time out for yourself as well. You need to recharge your batteries as much as the next person – probably more, in fact, if you've spent most of the last 50 weeks with your phone perpetually on.
You have a crisis management team in place (or should do) specifically designed to take account of scenarios where particular individuals aren't available. Surely you've got a designated alternate for your own position – take advantage of having them there.
Likewise, tap into your agency's resources. For example, at Hill & Knowlton we have a sufficiently large enough Issues & Crisis team that we rotate availability over the holiday period – specifically so that there's always someone immediately available in case of a client call.
None of this is to say you should take your hands off the wheel completely and let fate do its worst. Rather, spend an hour mapping out your alternative contact strategy for the next few weeks and ensure that responsibility for managing any crises is suitably delegated. This shouldn't be an issue – if your crisis management plans are already solid then you'll have taken into account the possibility that your unavailability is a legitimate issue in its own right.
Likewise, ensure you and your team are clear on how your agency support will be staffed over the period.

SATURNINO ALEGADO Family
3 Generations
Saturnino Alegado was the son of Santiago Alegado. Thus, he is in the fourth generation in the parent page Alegado Family Tree.
Saturnino was nicknamed "Hapay" for which annihilatory reason we can now only speculate. Church records indicate he'd served as the Church portero, a minor church official along with the fiscal and the sacristan, but for how long a period I cannot reconstruct. I presume the duties of the portero involved the supervision over church edifices and assets, and as such was also in charge of the cemetery–not that this has anything to do with the nickname. His signature, shown below, shows a very fine handwriting, probably a prerequisite to being taken in for church office.
The Saturnino Alegado-Angela Alesna Clan was one of the first families to hold a Reunion (now annual). A family tree was reconstructed by member Benjamin Bargayo and in-law Isaac Obiso as a result. Meanwhile I had already been poring over Carcar records, but did not know about the clan reunions and their family trees. It was only by chance at a fiesta that I was told of a Saturnino Alegado clan and so told them of my ongoing project and also intimated to Obiso and member Sesinio Villaluz Jr. that per records I'd gathered, Saturnino had a previous marriage–to Eulalia/Bartola Alfafara, which union in fact had produced 6 offsprings, two of whom, Inocencia and Lope, the second family thought were also children of Ana Alesna. Eulalia was buried the day after Lope was born and we can surmise she died from that delivery. Thus, Lope himself knew no mother but his father's second wife Ana Alesna, whom Saturnino married after less than a year.
But then a breakaway further happened when the Petrona Alegado-Arcadio Alegrado branch chose to go it separately and start the Alegrado Clan gatherings. A family tree opened the eyes to other family trees and although we can say the reunion resulted in a disunion but no matter, at least the relationship is acknowledged.

A contagious virus has been linked to frozen Korean oysters sold in restaurants and Asian grocery stores.
The oysters were sold under the ASSI brand name and distributed by Korean Farms of Santa Fe Springs, Calif.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has announced a recall of the oysters, which sickened several people in a Washington state restaurant. They were sold in several states, including California, Texas, Colorado, Arizona, Idaho and Utah.
The oysters are believed to be carrying Norovirus, which causes nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and stomach pain. The virus is highly contagious from the first moment a patient begins to feel ill, the FDA said, and spreads quickly. It is especially likely to spread in nursing homes and day care centers, the agency said.
The contaminated oyster meat was sold in three-pound bags. The oysters were already shucked, meaning that they had been removed from their shells. The labels on the packages indicated that they should be used by February 2013.
Anyone who purchased these oysters should throw them away — either in the trash or in the garbage disposal, the FDA said. If you've already eaten them and have not become ill, don't worry about it. But if you do become ill after eating them, consult a doctor, and be aware that the virus is contagious.
Consumers with questions about the recalled oysters should call Korean Farms Inc. at (562) 789-9988. The federal government also has a hotline to answer questions about seafood safety. The hotline can be reached at (888) SAFEFOOD.

Creative financing helps fuel Denver's CorePower Yoga
CorePower Yoga owner Trevor Tice visits one of his company's studios nearly every day to practice or teach the discipline, and to meet with instructors, managers and customers.
The rest of Tice's time? Much of it is spent raising money to feed CorePower's rapid growth. "It's not all that I do, but I do spend considerable time on it," says the Denver entrepreneur and Telluride native. "You feel like you're on a hamster wheel."
It takes a lot of money to build 57 yoga studios in five states (with plans to open 10 to 15 more a year). Tice says CorePower spent about $11 million last year opening new studios at an average cost of $750,000 each.
In this Sunday's Denver Post Business section, I'll have a story about the effect of tight lending on Colorado franchisers and franchisees. Though loans backed by the Small Business Administration are up, many franchise businesses say difficulty landing loans remains a big problem, and that it's constraining growth and job creation. Tice offers a different perspective on the problem.

Staff writer
Sierra Dirksen, a 20-year-old college student from rural Goessel, left her heart in Kenya when she went to serve as a teacher among poverty-stricken children. She went to Africa in the summer of 2011 with the Children and Youth Empowerment Center in Nyeri. She plans to spend winter break following her heart back to service in Nyeri, leaving Dec. 15 and returning Jan. 15.
"My time there in 2011 was absolutely amazing," Dirksen said Tuesday, as she finalized packing lists and hurried to get immunizations for her international trip. "I expected to enjoy service, but I had no idea how it would affect me. I went there to work as a teacher, but ended up working with the children, establishing relationships with them and finding ways to break the cycle of violence and drugs they were caught in on the streets."
Dirksen said the experience changed her so much that she has not been able to get back to 'normal' since her return.
"Every individual I met there has helped to shape me into whom I am today," she said. "I love each child, youth, and staff member with my whole heart. I want nothing more than to spend my life bettering theirs. My heart is forever in Kenya."
Dirksen now attends Bethel College in North Newton. She also works three jobs, saving every penny possible to finance her trip back to Kenya.
"I worked in community support at Prairie View, was a waitress for Fox Ridge, and worked as chairman for student activities at school," Dirksen said. "This time it's all on me. I've worked very hard to do this and appreciate fully all who have also supported me with donations."
Dirksen said she was not sure what her assignment would be this time when she got to Kenya, but she looks forward to establishing relationships with children in need again.
"It's all about relationships," she said. "That is the best way to help people. I am really looking forward to getting to know the kids and listening to their stories. They are such an inspiration because they have nothing but are willing to share of themselves so unselfishly. I feel so blessed when I am with them."
Dirksen first became interested in service while attending Kansas State University in Manhattan.
"The timing of how everything happened had to be God," she said. "I was a freshman, majoring in interior design and was just really struggling with a lot of things. I came home and told my parents I just did not want to go to school anymore. I wanted to take a year off for voluntary service of some kind."
Dirksen said she went back to school that semester, but the week she was back her residence hall governing board had a meeting with the coordinator of international service teams.
"I knew at that meeting this service was something I had to do," she said. "Even though I am now really struggling with how my going back to Kenya will affect my relationships and family at home, I know this is something I want to do for the rest of my life."
Dirksen said her family, parents Ron and Patsy Dirksen, and sister, Brittany (Garrett) Hiebert, was supportive of her desire to go back to Africa in mission service, but it was especially hard to leave them, and other close friends, at the holiday season.
"You know, Christmas here is so completely materialistic," she said. "My family is very traditional, and I am going to miss that so much, but there everything is so different. You get a much clearer picture of what Christmas really means. It will be such a blessing to spend time with the children again and find ways to help them cope with their realities."
Dirksen said she asked for nothing for Christmas this year other than prayer and support for her upcoming trip back to help the children of Nyeri.
When she traveled to Kenya for her first time in service, she was part of a CYEC team. When she leaves for the other side of the world next week, she travels only with another girl who has never been out-of-country before.
"I'm a little nervous because I have terrible navigational skills," she said. "But I am hoping together we can get through whatever obstacles come our way."
Dirksen said those interested in following her service adventure could check out her blog at http://homesweetkenya.blogspot.com/.

On December 3 of this year, the President issued a Proclamation that December is Critical Infrastructure Protection Month. In the Proclamation, President Obama said, "[M]y Administration is committed to delivering the necessary information, tools, and resources to areas where critical infrastructure exists in order to maintain and enhance its security and resilience." This effort is a central focus for the Commission's Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau. The Bureau's mission is to ensure public safety and homeland security by advancing state-of-the-art communications that are accessible, reliable, resilient, and secure, in coordination with public and private partners. As part of the nation's national security protection programs, the Bureau is a key contributor in protecting communications facilities that are a critical component of the nation's infrastructure.
There are several critical infrastructure sectors and each sector has an Information Sharing and Analysis Center (ISAC). As part of our responsibilities in critical infrastructure protection, we support the Communications ISAC by providing subject matter expert liaison staff. The mission of the Communications ISAC is to facilitate voluntary collaboration and information sharing among government and industry in support of Executive Order 12472 and the national critical infrastructure protection goals of Presidential Decision Directive 63. The intent is to gather information on vulnerabilities, threats, intrusions, and anomalies from multiple sources in order to perform analysis with the goal of averting or mitigating impact upon the telecommunications infrastructure.
In addition to terrestrial communications with which we are most familiar, the space-based Global Positioning System (GPS) is inextricably integrated into most of the critical infrastructure sectors. Although it has not yet officially been designated as a critical infrastructure sector, we are helping, in association with DHS, DOT and other agencies, to protect the GPS positioning, navigation, and timing receivers from interference and jamming.
Although we are involved in many other areas related to public safety and homeland security, the Bureau has a vested interest in collaborating with state, local and Federal partners to do whatever we can to protect the critical infrastructure related to communications. The work of the Commission and more specifically the Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau is an integral part of protecting our nation, and as the President also said in his Proclamation, "Working together, we can raise awareness of the important role our critical infrastructure plays in sustaining the American way of life and developing actions to protect these vital resources." We are committed to doing so.
See the proclamation.

NORTHRIDGE, Calif. – Cal State Northridge may have provided the DJ at the Matadome on Thursday night, but UC Santa Barbara brought the music as it defeated the Matadors, 56-37, keeping a 29-year old win streak in Northridge alive.
With the victory, UCSB improves to 7-11 on the season and to an even 3-3 in Big West Conference play. The win was the Gauchos' 12th straight over the Matadors and 14th-consecutive on the Matadors' home court.
The Matadors fall to 10-8 overall and 4-3 in league games. The loss marked Northridge's third straight after it opened Big West play with four-straight wins.
After a frenetic start to the first half – which saw five lead changes – the Gauchos commanded the second stanza. The Matadors' 37 points mark the fewest by a UCSB opponent this season and their 20-point second-half output also goes down as the fewest points put up against the Gauchos in the final 20 minutes of a game so far this year.
The Gauchos were led by senior Sweets Underwood, who posted her sixth double-double of the year, tallying 17 points to go along with 11 rebounds. Fellow senior Kirsten Tilleman was not too far off from posting her own double-double; she finished the game with nine points and nine rebounds.
Juniors Nicole Nesbit and Melissa Zornig scored 12 and 10 points, respectively. The latter led the squad with four assists and four steals.
Northridge opened the game swinging as the Matadors scored their first six points on the fastbreak. A lay-up by Violet Alama with 12:53 on the clock pushed their lead to 11-6, but that was as far ahead the Matadors would go as UCSB proceeded to go on a 15-6 run to end the first half ahead, 21-17.
The Gauchos put their foot back on the gas in the second as they opened with an 18-5 run, which put them ahead at 39-22 with 10:35 on the clock. That advantage would build to as many as 20 points twice as UCSB cruised to the 56-37 victory.
The Gauchos' defense limited the Matadors to just 24.5% (13-for-53) shooting from the field during the game and Northridge made just 8-of-19 attempts (42.1%) from the charity stripe. More notably, UCSB was able to hold the Big West's best three-point shooting team to just 14.3% (3-for-21) shooting from beyond the arc. The Matadors – who on average shoot 34.8% from the three-point range – made just 1-of-12 attempts in the first half.
Northridge's team-leader Ashlee Guay, who averages 13.5 points per game, was limited to just eight points while Marta Masoni – who on average comes up with 13.4 points per game – scored seven.
Offensively, UCSB shot 46.8% from the field (22-for-47) and made 10-of-13 (76.9%) of its free-throw attempts. UCSB out-rebounded the Matadors, 38-32 and had 28 defensive boards.
The Gauchos will conclude their current three-game Big West road swing on Saturday when they travel to face new conference member Hawaii. The game, which is scheduled for 7 p.m. (9 p.m. Pacific Time) can be heard live on UCSBgauchos.com and viewed on BigWest.tv.
UCSB Rolls Past Northridge, 56-37
|UC Santa Barbara (7-11, 3-3 BWC)
|Cal State Northridge (10-8, 4-3 BWC)
NORTHRIDGE, Calif. – Cal State Northridge may have provided the DJ at the Matadome on Thursday night, but UC Santa Barbara brought the music as it defeated the Matadors, 56-37, keeping a 29-year old win streak in Northridge alive.

I'm updating my old funstuff to work with the female models and it's been so long since i've done anything with modeling.
I can get it in game just fine but I can't seem to get it to line up correctly. I'm using the officialy released heads models for making funstuff.
Are heads in 4.2 different?
I've treid 3ds, gmax and milkshape, milkshape is the oldest and seems to work the best IMO, but I really need a head that loads in at the right position for model placement.

Re: Star Wars 2008!
Message Boards - Boba Fett Fan Club → Film and Television → Star Wars 2008!
I liked Jason Stathom *spelling* from the Transporter movies to play Boba before I saw Ep. II, but now that Boba's the Clone of the guy who played Jango, our options are kind of limited. Jason's voice would sill be great, though!
If they can make a blue lady with giant tube thingys hanging of the back of her head, they can make the Transporter guy Boba....TO THE MAKEUP DEPARTMENT!!!!!!!
I think that it is good that they are using not so well known characters as they would try and change things about them, like they would have an episode where Darth Vader would fall in love again but he wouldn't be able to be with his love for reasons I don't need to state...ew. BUT when you take the same scenario and
apply it to a clone/stormtrooper,Boba Fett,(Jaba?) it isn't so bad. I will come out of the closet and say I love those clone wars cartoons! Do i think they should be cannon? No. Come on Windo punches wholes strait through supper battle droids. But none the less you all have to admit that those clone commandos are "Kick Face AWSUME!" and I also like what they did with Grievous he was a jedi killing machine (literally). But in the movie all he dose is run and hide... not at all rewarding. so when it comes to SW TV
I think it all depends on the writers.
(one more thing): Daniel Logan now. I think with the right makeup and some fake scars he could make a good Boba plus he loves playing the part witch is something I like in an actor.
but his voice kills it. puberty ftw!
FTW? From.The.What? And they could run a filter over it like they always have.
The tv show will be good. ( green helmeted fett )

The North African region of Sudan—governed by British and Egyptian authorities until 1956—has long been a hotbed for Muslim-Christian tensions. Embroiled in a conflict that spans two civil wars, it is comprised of two nations: the Muslim Arab North Sudan and the predominantly Christian South Sudan, which gained its independence in 2011. The ongoing conflict has left the western Darfur region pockmarked by genocidal killings, regional power struggles, famine, and an orphan crisis; so much so that the United Nations declared it the site of one of the world's most pressing humanitarian crises of the early 21st century.

Beware – recruitment scams on the increase!
Fraudsters pretending to represent Schlumberger are sending e-mails, letters and texts offering employment to prospective employees. These offers often look legitimate and include job description, salary, and benefit details.
These fraudsters then ask for payment to obtain visas or to process immigration documents.
We never ask for payment to process documents, we never refer you to a third party to process applications or visas, and we never ask you to pay costs.
Never send money or pass on personal details to anyone suggesting they can provide employment with Schlumberger, and never reply to an email address that does not end in @slb.com. or @cameron.slb.com

With apologies in advance, I just couldn't resist passing this along -
Edit on: I just realized the above might be read as something derogatory about Gillette. It's not - this problem happens in every municipal system. Gillette's system actually is newer than many, if not most. Edit off.
With all the comments about Gillette and the recent Midwest flooding, this was a weird coincidence.

benefit from exclusive business offers
Mobile fitting
Prices excluding VAT
Homologated tyres are those that have been approved directly via a manufacturer. These tyres are ones that have met the standards and regulatory requirements of the manufacturer.
The energy lost when a tyre is in motion is known as 'rolling resistance'. This has a direct impact on fuel consumption.
A tyre's rolling resistance score ranges from A to G. Over the life of the tyre, fitting an A rated tyre could save you up to 6 litres of fuel when compared to a G rated tyre.
A tyre's wet grip capacity is expressed in Grades from A to G.
The difference in braking distances between each grade is roughly 3m - an average car length. This makes average stopping distance between an A and G rated tyre 18m. That's 4 car lengths.
The exterior noise grade of a tyre is expressed in decibels - accompanied by one, two or three sound waves, with one wave being the best noise level performance.
To achieve the best grade, a tyre's noise level must be at least 3dB under the legal limit set by the EU.
By combining very innovative materials such as Kevlar® in the apex and a new nanoparticle rubber compound with the Touch Technology characteristics, the new Dunlop SP Sport Maxx TT gives a very high level of performance.
Main advantages:
Exceptional feel thanks to the Kevlar®.
Excellent roadholding on dry and wet surfaces.
Improved cornering stability and driving precision thanks to the flatter profile.
The ground contact area is bigger and squarer.
Improved braking on wet and dry surfaces.
Patented anti-aquaplaning system.

Email desiderata
There are few things more important these days to your interaction with the rest of the world than your email address. This blog offers some advice on your CHOICE of address.
Interestingly this topic spans the divide between our interest as innkeepers and Peter's interest as a Mac computer consultant. As innkeepers we interact with over 99% of our guests by email at some point in our relationship with them, which gives us some perspective on how email is used. So on to the advice…
You use email on your personal computer (hopefully a Mac but we know there are still some PC users out there!) where you are in control. So why let someone else choose and control your email address? Strangely many people do. The fact is that you have no control of the permanence of your address if it is provided by your ISP (Internet Service Provider), or if you use an address from your current employer for personal email.
What happens when another ISP offers you a better deal and you switch, or you move home and have to change ISPs? Or, as often happens, your ISP or company changes name as a result of an acquisition? Or you change employers? Your email address changes and you are one of the Internet's "lost". You then have to scramble to tell all your friends and associates your new email address, and just hope they update their address books. By a rough estimate about half of our guests face this risk judging by the email address they have on file with us.
There IS a better way. Choose an email address that is independent of your ISP and employer. This address can stay with you for life and it has no relationship to where you live or work.
There are numerous choices and most are free. The best known are @hotmail from Microsoft and @gmail from Google. Also many groups offer permanent addresses – for example Peter has had an @ieee address since he started using email and Susan has always used an @mac address. Both of us have used email while living in several different countries and using services provided by numerous ISPs, and never have had to change the address our friends and family use to reach us.
When you change ISPs you can simply forward YOUR permanent email address to the address your current ISP has provided – use them as a delivery mechanism, NOT an address. (Make sure your email client is set to use your permanent address as the "reply to" address.) While you can access your email from any browser when you are traveling, you are not constrained to the limitations of browser based access when you are at your own computer; you can usually directly access your email provided by e.g. hotmail and gmail using your favorite email client.
One other piece of related advice: using your company email address for personal matters – like reservations at West Hill House – can be a problem in addition to lack of permanency. Your employer is unlikely to sanction this use of their resource, they almost certainly are monitoring and logging your email, and some do block email that is electronically determined to be personal. If you need to access personal email from your office, using hotmail, gmail or most other similar addresses will give you full access from your browser, keep you in control, protect your privacy – and maybe your job!
And if you do change email addresses, please let us know!

Reading this blog entry in preparation for our stay on Columbus Day weekend I just realized you are a fellow Mac consultant! Oh, great… our travelling companions are Windoze people and they're going to think I chose the West Hill House on purpose! Looking forward to meeting you.

First comes April Fools Day, then April showers, and then my birthday. Clearly, as far as months go, April isn't exactly front-loaded. But during this lovely time of year, massive transformation ensues and by mid-month we'll see some welcome changes. Good things — new blooms and spring migrants — come to those who wait. For now, get outside and have fun in the mud! What will you be doing this weekend and will you be birding? Share your plans in the comments below!
I'll be kicking around Rochester hopefully watching the last of our snow melt and maybe picking up some winter stragglers. If Corey is birding at all this weekend it will be close to home after following last weekend's pelagic trip by working his tail off all week and fighting a virulent cold.
Whatever your plans this weekend, make time to enjoy SkyWatch Friday. Also be sure to come back Monday to share your best bird of the weekend!
What is more beautiful than the sight of white wings against a blue sky?
great shots
congrats and HAPPY BIRTHDAY INA DVANCE
Love that image! Reminds me of being back in Niagara Falls. I'm not sure where I will be birding but I plan on going out and seeing some of the migrants that are passing through Costa Rica right now.
I can almost see every feather on the bird. Amazing photograph!
Looking forward to seeing what you post on skywatch Friday next week.
Joyce M
Lovely image…happy SkyWatch weekend…stay safe~
Wow!! I am delaying my dinner, just so I can admire the way the feathers are angled in those wings!!! Double wow! But now I can go eat…
Beautiful picture!
You are right, what could be more beautiful! Great capture.
Wow this is an amazing shot!
What a shot…love the angle of the wings!
Hi Mike, I followed you from Skywatch. What a stunning image against the sky. I normally bird all week and weekends in a beautiful valley called Kimwarer, Western Kenya, East Africa where I'm blessed to be living . This weekend, however, we'll be visiting Lake Baringo and Lake Bogoria, both birders' paradises! I'm an amature photographer but have many photos of the birds we've already spotted (many, many of them lifers for me and my hubby) on my blog. Have a great birthday and lovely weekend. Greetings from Jo.
I can't think of anything–great capture. You had your camera "out and ready" at the perfect time. Mickie 🙂
beautiful! love this one in flight! 🙂
Awesome! Great shot!
It is probably the last weekend to find River Warbler (if I'm not too late already) so its off to Zaagkuildrift again.
Great photo Corey, what equipment are you using?
Wonderful shot.. love the almost malignant looking yellow iris. "Our" osprey pair has just arrived this past week so now we now we can go ahead with our Spring plans. All the best to you,

Seeing as how this was first suggested on the 6th. January and as yet has not been implemented, it would seem that there has possibly been second thoughts.If this is in fact the case I would think that Gizmo's suggestion to be ideal .Make it a locked thread with a moderator,or someone who is willing, to post the funeral Intimations.
There has been discussions in the news about the despicable conduct of people, who for no reason delight in going on to such threads of condolence to leave vile messages which cause great distress to friends and relatives.

Yesterday I had a slave in my dungeon. He was very nervous when we met and throughout some of his session. He had always wanted to try BDSM ever since he was a teenager. Now here he is in his late fifties just trying it for the first time. He shook, he drooled and he begged for more. I truly feel he enjoyed submitting to me. We started out slow because I needed to know how he could handle things. We had a couple of hours so as the time progressed so did he. He went from being nervous and scared to excited. There was light flogging to start. Then I decided to tie him to my table and do just a little torture to see how he would do. He moaned, and gasped as I tortured him. I like to freak them out sometimes. Instead of putting a blindfold on them, I put the blindfold on me and try to whip or flog the clothespins off their balls or nipples. Even blindfolded I have to say I have a pretty good aim. There was times of tenderness and pleasure to calm him then back to what we were doing. He was so interested in the bondage chair and I knew he really wanted to get in it. I made him beg and then earn his time in the chair. He finally made it to the chair. Yesterday was his first time at this new experience but I am sure, it won't be his last.
Tag: fantasies
What a fun session
He knelt at my feet and told me his dark secrets, desires and his fantasies. They are safe with me. He kisses my feet and calls me Mistress. I put his collar and chains on and he crawls to the table as I guide him with his leash. I used some of my rope to tie him to the table and we began our session. A good warm up with a flogger and some other implements. He thanks me. He is such a good slave. When I finished with him on the table I strapped him to the chair. The chair of no escape. He moaned, his breath became louder. He was in the chair, enduring what he had coming to him. I think he loved every second of it.
Wouldn't you like to be him?
Meet Mistress Vesta
I am wicked, classy, specializing in the arts of domination, bondage, feminization, humiliation, foot worship, role play and sensual domination. Erotic fantasies; you can dream about them or make them reality. Step into the dungeon and see where it takes you. You know you want to.
Are you worthy of me? Imagine yourself walking up the stairs of a narrow hallway. You can hear yourself breathing and feel your heartbeat pounding. You crawl through the door into the dungeon. You see me standing there before you. I am looking down at you. I am Mistress Vesta. I have sexy blonde hair, voluptuous bust, I'm dressed in an alluring outfit and high heels. You will worship me. I will demand your respect and you will give it. I will teach you lessons that you have only fantasized about.
I am a professional Domme and I am looking for professional sessions, therefore all relationships are professional relationships only. The sessions I offer are safe, sane and consensual. I do expect you to arrive on time, be clean, and obedient. As the saying goes: first impressions are lasting impressions. The first time we meet it will be right before your session at a nearby location. I will ask you some questions and see if you are worthy enough to come to the dungeon. If you are, I will give you the address of the dungeon and meet you there shortly thereafter. We will discuss your limits, hard and soft either by email ahead of time or at your first session. If we discuss it by email, we will still go over them briefly at the beginning of your session. I want you to feel safe.
Some people go through life with erotic fantasies that they only dream about, and others choose to make them come true. Don't you want to live your fantasies and make them a reality? I am experienced in my profession. Whether it is your very first time or if you have had a lot of experience, if you are a male or a female, it doesn't matter. I am very versatile.
Some of the things I offer are:
If you are a foot worshiper, I love to have my feet worshiped, kissed and rubbed.
- Impact play
- Humiliation
- Over the knee punishment
- Role play
- Sensual domination
- Bondage
- Tease and denial
If there is something that you are curious about and it is not on my list, ask me about it. Contact Mistress. I don't have to beat you into submission, unless you want me to. 🙂
*Can be a KEY HOLDER for you if you prove you are worthy
No this is not about sex. There isn't any sex involved, so don't even think of asking! It is BDSM and Mistress Vesta will be delighted to humiliate, torture you, and leave you begging for more. You will shake, beg and drool. If you are afraid of pain or don't like it, and need a softer touch, I can also do sensual domination. Either way, you will submit to me. BDSM stands for Bondage, Discipline, Sadism, Masochism. The D in BDSM can also stand for dominant and the S can also stand for slave or submissive. There could also be any aspect of it, such as S&M, D/s, B/D, or could include all of the above.
There is a cage, spanking bench, Saint Andrew's cross, Bondage chair or as I like to call it, the chair of no escape, stockade, floggers, whips, paddles, chains and so much more in this dungeon. If you would like to, you can bring your own favorite toys, or other items. Regarding "other items", please ask my permission first.
You are in the dungeon for my pleasure and my pleasure only. Do you think you are ready? Located in Sarasota, Florida. Rates $250. an hour.
If you would like to contact me for an appointment, please email me at firstname.lastname@example.com or call or text (941)718-5369. Email or text is preferred. If you call and there is no answer, leave a message. Serious inquiries only. If you block your number so it shows no caller ID on my phone or Caller unknown, I will not answer. Unblock your number. You have my number and I want to see the number that is calling me. There will be a small deposit required from you to hold your appointment. This ensures that if you get cold feet you will still show up. When you show up for your session, it will be applied toward the session. No shows will be blacklisted and lose their deposit. Just a reminder of what was stated earlier, there will also be a small meet and greet 15 minutes before your session is to begin. This is for a couple of reasons. Mistress wants to see who you are and feel safe and Mistress wants you to meet me so that you feel safe. If you need to cancel, it must be 24 hours in advance as Mistress plans her time accordingly.
The pictures below are recent and they are me.

|START Conference Manager
Social computing has ushered in a new way for people to interact on the World Wide Web. Rather than having to adapt to corporate or institutional views of the world, the opportunities facilitated by social computing software have permitted people to organize information and themselves according to their own worldviews, thus facilitating organized human endeavour in fundamentally new ways (Parameswaran & Whinston, 2007). One example of a social computing utility is Facebook which has seen phenomenal growth since its launch by Mark Zuckerman in February 2004, when it was available only to Harvard students, to today (January 18, 2008) when there are over 60 million active users (Facebook statistics). The widespread acceptance of this means of interacting on the web suggests a significant impact on how people conduct their social lives. Nevertheless, little empirical research has been conducted to understand how these interactions have affected social behaviour (Bumgarner, 2007).
The purpose of this panel is to create a live experiment that will investigate how attendees at the ASIST 2008 annual meeting interact on a specially created Facebook site and how this affects their experience of the conference and their face-to-face interactions. It will be a fun and interactive information sharing session involving people who have built relationships at the conference and in the online community.
A Facebook social group will be developed prior to the conference where ASIS&T members will be invited to share their experiences of attending conferences and getting to know others. Some people develop strong and lasting friendships, others have terrible experiences, and many have simple, rather pragmatic social interactions. How do social experiences transpire at a conference? Do hotel bars represent a rich environment central for making connections at conferences? What traditional and evolving roles do conference sessions play as places for establishing social connections? What cliques exist? Do some participants feel socially excluded at conferences? Why or why not?
Panelists will analyze the interactions that take place on Facebook during the conference, including the rate and manner in which membership grows, the kinds of information that are shared with the online group and the events that are organized or emerge out of the interactions among group members. A sample of group members will also be interviewed by the panelists during the conference to elicit their reactions to the experience and how membership in Facebook affected face to face relationships at the conference. We propose that the panel be scheduled near the end of the conference where preliminary results of the experiment will be presented. This conference session offers an exciting opportunity for ASIS&T Facebook community members to meet and chat face-to-face to enhance conference relationships and to exchange online community experiences.
Based on the information shared in Facebook and during the panel session, participants will take away a range of strategies for networking at conferences to build not only valuable and formal relationships, but also pleasant informal relationships. Finally, panel members will analyze the data resulting from the experiment and present the results in a paper to be submitted for inclusion at the 2009 ASIS&T meeting.

Capturing a Moment of Experience For me, photography has always been an extension of my travels and of my curiosity. Unlike the artistry of most landscape and commercial photographers, early in my journey with photography, time did not always allow me to seek perfect conditions, take repeated exposures, or make numerous adjustments to the configuration and settings of my equipment. As a result, my early photographs are not so much artifacts, but rather attempts to record a brief moment of my own experience. The angle, hour, lighting, and weather didn't always cooperate. It was serendipity that the composition, color, emotion, and subject matter of some of the thousands of photographs I have taken successfully captured the moment as I...

Negative media coverage, a loss of customer confidence, and the resulting loss in sales can cripple a business. As a result, all entities that handle credit cardholder information are being challenged to adopt more effective data protection measures. The Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard (DSS) was created to confront the rising threat to credit cardholder personal information. This compliance guide will provide readers with an overview of the requirements as well as suggested steps in achieving PCI compliance.

Revision as of 11:18, 31 August 2015Fëanor and his seven sons in the city of Tirion. They swore in the name of Ilúvatar that they would not rest until the three Silmarils were in their hands, and to make war on any who withheld them. Tolkien remarked that it was an oath which should never have been taken, reflecting on the Biblical passage concerning such oaths.
At the time the Oath was sworn, Morgoth held all three of the Silmarils, having stolen them from Fëanor's stronghold at Formenos. Driven by the unbreakable Oath, Fëanor led the greater part of the Noldor out of Aman and back to Middle-earth, in hopeless pursuit of the Dark Lord. Fëanor himself was mortally wounded by Balrogs in the Noldor's first assault. From that time on, while Morgoth held the three Silmarils in his Iron Crown, the Elves of Beleriand were bound by a common enemy.
The true danger of the Oath was revealed after Beren and Lúthien recovered one of the three Silmarils from the depths of Angband. Thereupon, the Sons of Fëanor made war upon the other Elves of Beleriand for the recovery of the Jewel. They attacked and destroyed the kingdom of Doriath, killing Thingol's Heir Dior. When the Silmaril escaped them there, they discovered that it was held at the Mouths of Sirion by Dior's daughter Elwing; again they attacked, and again the Silmaril escaped them. Carried out to sea by the power of Ulmo, Elwing brought it to her husband Eärendil, and they sailed with it back into the West.
That Silmaril was lost to Fëanor's sons, but two more remained on Morgoth's Crown. After the War of Wrath and Morgoth's defeat at the end of the First Age, just two of the original oath-takers survived, Fëanor's eldest sons Maedhros and Maglor. The former put forth a plan that the latter reluctantly accepted. They stole the Silmarils from the camp of the victorious host, but because of the evils they had committed in recovering them, they found that they could no longer touch the holy Jewels without enduring searing pain. In despair, Maedhros threw himself and his Silmaril into the depths of the Earth, while Maglor cast his into the deep ocean. Maglor was the last of the oath-takers, and was said to wander the shores of the world lamenting his pain and loss.
The Oath itself, as given in The Lays of Beleriand, is as follows:
"Be he foe or friend, be he foul or clean
Brood of Morgoth or bright Vala,
Elda or Maia or Aftercomer,
Man yet unborn upon Middle-earth,
Neither law, nor love, nor league of swords,
Dread nor danger, not Doom itself
Shall defend him from Fëanáro, and Fëanáro's kin,
Whoso hideth or hoardeth, or in hand taketh,
Finding keepeth or afar casteth
A Silmaril. This swear we all...
Death we will deal him ere Day's ending,
Woe unto world's end! Our word hear thou,
Eru Allfather! To the everlasting
Darkness doom us if our deed faileth...
On the holy mountain hear in witness
and our vow remember,
Manwë and Varda!"
