I recently wrote a post entitled One Big Muscle, the idea of which is that "You have to learn to use your body like one big muscle."
For beginners, this might sound like a difficult concept. One way to visualize this is to think of a puppet. Think about a wooden Pinocchio puppet. His arms and legs are segmented at the joints (wrists, elbows, shoulders, etc.). There are strings attached to various points on the puppet's body. All of these strings lead up to the person controlling the puppet. By pulling on one string, the puppet's arm will raise, by pulling another, his leg will raise, etc. A skillfull puppeteer can make it look like the puppet is alive.
But the puppet is not alive. It only moves because of the puppeteer pulling on its strings. The puppet is just a collection of parts.
Now imagine, through the magic of technology, that the strings are removed. Instead, there are tiny motors put inside the puppet. There is a motor in the wrist, another in the elbow, another in the neck. Each motor is wirelessly connected to the puppeteer, who now uses a remote control to make the puppet walk, dance... seem alive.
This is getting closer to a "real" person, but still the puppet is not alive. Its movements are still controlled by the puppeteer. It is still just a collection of parts.
Here is the point. Most Karate students are like puppets. I do not mean that their movements are controlled by a puppeteer. Of course not. But their body is like a collection of parts that move separately and are powered in the extremities. Their body is not like one big muscle.
I feel qualified to state this because I was an expert at it! I was an expert at moving like a collection of parts. I did not mean to do it, but I did not know any better.
A puppet, not matter how you control it, is still a puppet.
In Pinocchio, the puppet magically becomes a real boy. He has no more strings, no more puppeteer. He is alive.
This is how I felt when I started to learn how to use koshi. It felt like the strings were being cut and a magical new engine was turning on. I now prefer to refer to koshi dynamics as whole body dynamics, because even the koshi (although important) is still just a part of the whole.
When you see a puppet move, you can tell that it is not alive. When you see a living person move, you can tell that he or she is not a puppet.
When you see a Karate student use their whole body to generate power and movement, you can tell. When you a Karate student move like a collection of part, you can tell this too.
Here is one more level -- the body is not just the body. Sometimes you hear the phrase, "mind, body, and spirit," which gives the impression that these are three things. But these, too, are parts of the whole person.
A Karate expert moves with his whole body, with the totality of his being... however you would like to phrase it. There is no separation of the body parts. There is no separation of the "body" and "mind." There is no separation at all.
Each movement is generated by the whole.
My experience is that when Karate students observe this for the first time, their jaw drops open. It makes no sense. How can living movement make sense to a student who is still moving like a puppet?
When Karate students experience this type of movement for themselves, they feel freed from the strings!
Learning to use the whole body is not grade or rank based. I have seen mudansha (kyu holders) with excellent body dynamics. I have also seen yudansha of all levels with extremely poor body dynamics. Of course, the experts with the very best body dynamics tend to be senior yudansha -- but not always. It all depends on the person and the way that they are training.
People who move like a collection of parts, tend to do very well in their 20s and 30s. After that, they tend to become weaker and slower. People who move "whole body," tend to be weaker at first, but much, much stronger as they age.
As an instructor, this is why I feel that it is best to teach clean and strong linear basics to beginners, and then, when they reach the natural limits of such movements, to help them transition to "whole body" movement. But this is a difficult, time intensive process -- certainly not "cookie cutter" Karate (where everyone moves the same throughout their Karate life).
You are a unique person. One size will not fit you. You have to find the best approach for you and learn to use your whole body in a coordinated manner, like one big muscle.
I am still working on this for myself. I do not mean to suggest that I have "mastered" the process. Far from it! If anything, I have "beginnered" the process. I am working on it, and that is the key. We each have to work on it ourselves.

Alpers, Stump win; Fesko, Peters to face runoff in November
Mono County voted in two new supervisors Tuesday night, with a third race that will also eventually bring a new supervisor to the table stuck in runoff mode.
Long Valley Fire Chief Fred Stump, running for elected office for the first time, will replace two-term District 2 incumbent Duane "Hap" Hazard. Tim Alpers, a two-time former Mono County supervisor and former owner of a successful aquaculture business, will replace two-term District 3 incumbent Vikki Bauer.
The two top vote getters for District 4, Tim Fesko and Bob Peters, will face each other in a runoff election in November. Neither Fesko, Peters or a third candidate, Jan Huggans, got the necessary 50 percent plus one needed to avoid a runoff.
District 4 did not have an incumbent since district's supervisor, Tim Hansen, who lives in Lee Vining, was redistricted out of the district last year.
"I think there was some incumbent fatigue out there and Hap got caught up in it," said Stump, who said Hazard had called him earlier Wednesday to congratulate him. But he also thinks some of his ideas resonated, like the fact that he is committed to taking a voluntary 10 percent cut to his pay and foregoing a vehicle allowance.
His criticism of how the county handled some at-will contracts might have also played a part, he said.
Hazard said he is disappointed but that the people have spoken and it's time to move on.
"I'm extremely proud of the work I have done, Digital 395, the roads and mailboxes in Crowley Lake, all of this and I wouldn't change a thing," he said.
Tim Alpers, who took District 3 against incumbent Bauer with a large majority, said he believes the reason he won is that everyone is ready for a change.
He, like Stump, has been critical of some of the board's fiscal decisions, believing them to be somewhat unresponsive to what he sees as a much tighter financial situation ahead.
"We are going to have to learn how to operate in a world of diminished resources," he said.
Bauer, for her part, said she ran a good, positive campaign on her record and accomplished many projects, such as a big changes to the Reds Meadow and Yosemite busses, while still keeping the county in good financial standing.
Fesko and Peters will face each other again in November. Huggans, the third contender for District 4, garnered only 17.6 percent of the vote, leaving her out of the race.
Peters performed best in Mammoth, Fesko in North County, and both said they have work to do to reach out to the other's constituents.
"I'm an alternative to the 'good old boy club,'" said Fesko. "As the votes for Fred and Alpers show, this is an issue and I believe it gives me an edge in this race.
Peters said his record is already there for people to see and he believes he will win in November. He thinks voters will respond to his more measured approach to solving county problems in a collaborative way, and to his experience in tourism and marketing.
Statewide races and analysis
There must have been more pollen in the Sierra mountain air—something that inspired democracy. Half the eligible voters turned out in only four counties statewide and they were all in the high Sierra: Sierra County at 59 percent; Alpine at 59 percent; Amador at 51 percent; and Mono at 50 percent.
Within Mono County, Swall Meadows voters outdid them all, voting by mail at a whopping 77 percent. Mammoth precincts, on the other hand, voted at lower rates than the rest of the county.
The state average was, by contrast, a measly 24 percent.
In a trial of the new "Top Two" rule created by the new open primary rules in California, the recently forged Congressional District 8 saw a close contest where Republican Paul Cook won 16 percent of the vote. In Mono County, Democrat Jackie Conaway walked away with the top score at 22 percent, but that wasn't good enough. Although she and Republican Phil Liberatore tied for third place throughout the District, neither will appear on the ballot—Republican Gregg Imus will, after racking up a second-place 15 percent of the District-wide vote.
A similar shakeup happened in the new Assembly District 5 contest, where the top vote-getter was Republican Rico Oller. In Mono County, Republican Frank Bigelow tied for second place with Democrat Tim Fitzgerald. In addition, Fitzgerald was the winning Democrat. However, Bigelow placed second District-wide, resulting in another Republican/Republican faceoff in November.
In terms of the presidential race, President Obama received 58 percent of the combined Obama/Romney vote statewide, compared to 42 percent for Mitt Romney, statewide. Mono County disagreed: 49 percent chose Obama and 51 percent for Romney.
Proposition 29, the proposed tax increase on cigarettes for cancer research, did not pass. More than half of Mono voters approved it, but more than half of Californians voted no.
Proposition 28, which will allow a person to serve 12 years either in the Assembly, state Senate or a combination of the two, passed with a margin of 61.4 percent. The previous law generally allowed people to serve three two-year terms in the Assembly and two four-year terms in the Senate.

Difference between revisions of "Siberia"
Revision as of 16:30, 24 November 2012
Siberia (Russian: Сиби́рь see-BEER') is a region in Russia.
Other destinations
With an area of nearly 10 million sq.km., Siberia is vast. While the popular view of Siberia is of howling arctic wastes dotted with penal colonies, the truth is more complex. The west of Siberia is covered by a swampy plain, the central plateau is heavily forested, and the east has mountains soaring to above 3,000 meters. Only the extreme north is true tundra, where temperatures can hit -68°C in winter.
Get in
By train
The Trans-Siberian Railway, connecting Moscow to Vladivostok, is by far the most famous method of transportation in Siberia. Covering a distance of 9,289 kilometres, making it one of the longest railways in the world, the full trip takes over 6 days and crosses 8 time zones. Its branches the Trans-Manchurian and Trans-Mongolian connect to Beijing in China, the first directly, the second via Ulaanbaatar in Mongolia.
Less famed is the Baikal-Amur Mainline (BAM), a northern line running parallel to the Trans-Siberian for 4,234 km. Completed only in 1991 and built mostly for military reasons, further away from the border of China, the BAM is much less touristed.

"We know when the ball is in Sara's hands in she's on, she can really control the offense, and it was evident by her numbers today" said ETSU head coach Lindsey Devine post victory.
Including Scandiffio and Buhr, a total of four Lady Bucs recorded double-digit kills with Brittany Kessel (Libertyville, Ohio) belting 13, and Jennifer Sartor (Toronto, Ontario) adding 12. Kessel also tallied 27 assists on the afternoon, just behind Jennifer Emerson (
Buhr led a balanced Buccaneer defense with nine digs, followed by Callie Kiselich (
"Again, it was a total team effort," said Devine. "We got good numbers from everybody."
The Lady Bucs got out to a quick start, leading the Runnin' Bulldogs by as many as seven points in game one, before picking up the 30-25 win. ETSU out-hit GWU .325 to .276 in the frame, as Buhr led the Buccaneer offense with six kills, along with five from Kiselich. Kiselich belted nine kills on the day, swinging .346.
Gardner-Webb got the best of ETSU in game two, hitting .286 to ETSU's .119. The Lady Bucs got out to a 15-11 advantage before the Bulldogs tallied five-consecutive points to take the 16-15 lead, and eventually pulled away with the 30-25 victory.
ETSU would rebound with their best output of the afternoon in game three hitting .469 with 19 kills and a mere four miscues, while Gardner-Webb dropped to .147. Sartor and Scandiffio led the Lady Bucs in the frame, tallying five kills each, in the 30-23 win. GWU would never lead in game three, as the Bucs held the advantage by as many as 10 points.
GWU challenged in game four, holding a 15-12 lead. With the score knotted at 16, the Lady Bucs took to the offensive and never looked back, putting the Bulldogs away 30-23. Kessel posted five of ETSU's 19 kills in the game.
GWU got solid performances from Audra Harrison, who tallied 11 kills, and Elizabeth Maxwell with 10. Bulldog setter Carrie Brinkley recorded a match-high 35 assists.
Today's game ends a three-game homestand for the Lady Bucs, who will hit the road to face Wofford, on Oct. 5. ETSU will return home on Oct. 8, starting another three-game homestretch with Lincoln Memorial at 4:00 p.m., in Brooks Gym.

I like being in charge of my birthday. I don't want to be disappointed. Sounds selfish, I know. I didn't always feel that way. Once in college my friend, Gloria, came and picked me up for an outing. When I got to the car she was looking at a piece of paper. When I inquired about what it was she said it was her to do and want list for her birthday. I thought it was strange but the more I thought about it, I like it.
The following birthday I took Gloria's lead. I made a list of everything I wanted to do for my birthday and I made it happen. I had help from friends and loved ones but it turned out to be one of the best birthdays ever.
Looking at Gloria's list changed my life. I learned that when you want something, you have to ask for it. I think a lot of people beat around the bush or make hints about something they want. My theory is if you want it, ask for it.
My nephew had a really bad habit of not asking for what he wanted. If we were at a store, instead of saying will you buy me this, he would say, I know I can't have this. My response would always be, well if you know you can't have it, I guess you can't. He eventually learned to ask for items he wanted. I didn't always grant his wishes but I told him, you will never get what you want if you don't ask.
I DON'T want to sound high and mighty. I struggle with this theory myself often. I find myself practicing before I make a phone call to ask for something. However, I have learned it is always better to ask.
Once at a hotel restaurant I encountered a waiter who wasn't afraid to ask for what he wanted. The waiter was nice and did a good job. When my husband showed up and paid the bill he didn't leave a 15% tip. The waiter looked at the tip turned around and said, "Was my service not up to the standard 15%?" He then said, "I think it was and if you thought so, I would like the standard tip."
I was shocked but it worked. I felt guilty. He was right. Had he not said anything he would not gotten the standard tip. My husband and I couldn't believe he called us out on it but in the end the waiter got what he wanted.
SOMETIMES you have to demand what you want even if you come off looking bad. Once when my mother was in the ICU, I noticed she was picking at her central line. I asked them if they thought they should strap down her hands. The nurse said he didn't think it was necessary. The next morning they were late opening the doors for visiting hours; very late. Turns out my mother had pulled out her central line and there was blood everywhere. She could have seriously injured herself. While I was talking to the head nurse I told her I had mentioned it the night before she said, "you should have demanded it."
That was a great piece of advice. I should have demanded it. I have never regretted asking for something. If my mother would have hurt herself, I would have regretted it for the rest of my life.
Next time you want something; don't beat around the bush, drop hints, or just hope they will offer it to you. Just ask.

Your cleats don't gave enough float?
Your cleat position is wrong?
Your saddle is too low?
You are a masher?
Your knees are in front of the pedal axles.
You've been grovelling to your wife?
All the above? .
If you are, as your name implies a trekker (like me), then you have probably worn them out.

I can put a lot of links up in regard to bike fit, crank length, cleats etc. Or as suggested above, just go to Steve Hogg's site as he is an expert fitter. The reading is often more in-depth, but you may get more out of it.
There are only really two ways to get an improvement on this. They are either get a good professional bike fit, or self educate to fit yourself. The latter often only has limited effect as it is hard to observe yourself while riding.
If you want to start to try yourself, then give the below link a try. Just make sure you get the measurements correct.

Yeah... that's not a 'bike fit', that a 'bike sell'. You should be able to find someone who actually does a proper fitting as a service, costs $$$ and can take some time (ie. 1 - 2 hours).

fit is key (otherwise serious knee and joint injuries can happen)
but even if the fit is right, there are at least 20 factors that affect the condition,
pedals, shoe fit (affecting motion), pedalling technique (heel pushing down vs toe pushing down),
leverage you have on lateral foot motion (some cleats allow this, speedplays, some KEOs etc)
prior conditions, style of riding etc...

Anyways went to a proper bike fit today and i was a MASHER in my peddling stroke, took some home work away from the bike fit, plus the bike before i got there was well out of sack, soon as he saw my cleat position he asked who did this - well i said the original bike store i bought my bike from.
Seat was also too low, and needed a longer stem from 120mm to 130mm
So after the bike fit was done and some new techniques i took the bike tonight for a ride, Now as of recent i could only push around 30km and my right knee would start to develop the slight pain on the outside, Well tonight with better peddling stroke and a better bike fit, my power increased and so did my ams to 47km.
I also notice new muscle groups started to develop sourness, i guess i been using just my knees mashing the power down. One thing i was told i was riding too much with heal up, I got taught today heal down, throw, push in a even stroke - i think i focused on breathing and peddling tonight and i felt better stright away.
However i do need too adjust my seat tilt down a bit coz my "under balls section started to hurt a bit more than usual"
Overal i was happy to pump a longer ride as i feared several weeks that i couldn't
I guess its all uphill now just focus on proper technique and i guess a decent bike fit will help too.

QuickOffice for iPhone Can Almost Edit Office Docs
The biggest challenge with creating an iPhone office suite, it seems, is dealing with the iPhone's wacky file system issues. Each iPhone app has its own file storage space, and the apps can't access each others' spaces. So you can't save an e-mail attachment or something from Safari into a public folder to be edited by QuickOffice, for instance.
QuickOffice tries to get around the problem with an extra app, QuickAccess. QuickAccess lets you download documents from MobileMe, Google Docs or other shared Web folders to be accessed by QuickOffice, and then to reupload your edited documents to the Web. Because QuickAccess shares a developer signature with QuickOffice, apparently the three programs can all share files.
I saw a few sample spreadsheets in QuickSheet, and yes, it was quick - you can zoom, scroll, and shrink your view using the usual iPhone gestures. Tapping on a cell lets you edit it. QuickWord, meanwhile, showed Word documents with formatting intact; editing is coming soon, apparently. But until Apple starts letting these programs interact with e-mail, it's going to be a little awkward using documents on your iPhone.

Bertie's Cozy Haven
Name: Bertie
Location: Edinburgh, UK
After many years of sitting in nurseries as a maternity nurse before becoming a mummy I knew I wanted a cozy room and a space in which I love spending time.
My dream item was the crib, and it's been on my wish list since before the baby or husband! The Glider was a prize from my favorite blog - Bambino Goodies, so the rest of the furniture had to fit around the chair. It's the most perfect spot in the room to relax, nurse and read to my son.
My only challenge in the room was to incorporate all my ideas and purchases without making it look too cluttered.
Source List:
- Cot bed: Leander
- Baby nest: Sleepyhead
- Changing Dresser & Wardrobe: Mamas & Papas
- Glider: Ollie Ella

[url=http://www.peterwhitecycles.com/lightingsystems.htm]Peter White Cycles[/url] is a good starting point.
As for the cost of setting up a dynamo light set, my bike is my transport. I considered what sort of money I'd be prepared to pay for the lighting system on my car. Then considered these lights are protecting my life. The costs reduced in significance quite a bit to me after this.
"The pain of poor quality lasts long after the joy of a cheap price"..... or to put it another way, the pain of a high price disappears quickly while you enjoy the value of high quality for a long time.
It's not that expensive either. I landed a Shimano hub (not as nice as a Schmidt, but I've used one for years, no complaints) plus front and rear B&M lights for about $200 last year. Both lights and hub have been excellent.

Ubuntu developer Martin Owens attended Software Freedom Day, and penned down a few words about what RMS had to say at the end of the day. When it came to Mono and C#, RMS said that while they are not a problem, you shouldn't write applications in C#, and you also should uninstall any applications using it. Agree or disagree, but this is an opinion he shares with many others, and his concerns are certainly rooted in reality. How deeply rooted is up for debate.
But then.
The conversation shifted towards Microsoft's new Open Source labs, and in response to a question by Owens, Stallman noted that Miguel de Icaza "is basically a traitor to the Free Software community". He also added that De Icaza is a Microsoft apologist, hence his involvement in the new Open Source labs does not inspire confidence.
I think we officially hit a new low here. I have no opinion on the whole Mono thing, and I don't really care much about it either, but calling De Icaza a traitor to the Free software community actually got me a little riled up. Are we really talking about the same De Icaza? The man who co-founded one of the most popular Free software projects, GNOME? Who created Gnumeric? Who set up a company which employed several GNOME developers, advancing the Free software desktop?
De Icaza has done a lot of hard work to advance and promote the Free software community, and whether you like Mono or not, it is still a completely open source project, and enables cross-platform development for those who wish to code in C#. Why doesn't RMS deride the SAMBA guys in the same manner?
De Icaza has responded on his blog about Stallman's words, and did so in a civil manner. "I want to say that God loves all creatures. From the formidable elephant to the tiniest ant. And that includes Richard Stallman," De Icaza wrote, "As for me, I think that there is a world of possibility, and if Richard wants to discuss how we can improve the pool of open source/free software in the world he has my email address."
Kudos to De Icaza for remaining civil and polite despite such a low blow from RMS. While I respect RMS for his contributions to the Free software community, I think it's pretty clear by now that he has completely lost touch with reality. The FSF would do good to silently but resolutely move him off stage, and install a new figurehead who comes across a little more... Constructive and civil. At this rate, RMS is doing more harm than good to the Free software world.

Two blood drives in Sweetwater on March 15
The Meek Blood Center bloodmobiles will be at the Nolan County Courthouse and the Lions Club building on Thursday, March 15, 2012, from noon until 6 p.m.Meek Blood Center recently revised their guidelines regarding many medications and medical conditions, which will qualify more people as blood donors. Those who have been deferred for medications and medical conditions in the past are asked to call 325-670-2798 to inquire about eligibility.Blood donors are needed on a daily basis to take care of patients with a variety of medical needs and conditions. The need for a blood transfusion is usually immediate, and adequate supply of all blood types that has been processed and tested must be available at all times. There is no artificial substitute for human blood. All blood products used for blood transfusions must come from volunteer donors. Meek Blood Center supplies all of the blood used for patient care at seventeen area hospitals covering fourteen counties, including Rolling Plains Hospital.

In terms of sustainability and environmental friendliness, hybrids and electric cars are good. But cars powered at least partly by the sun? That's even better. Here are two steps in that direction.
Drivers around the country should be able to buy the new gas-free, zero-emissions Ford Focus Electric sometime in 2012. When they do, they'll have the option to simultaneously have solar panels installed on their homes through a Ford partner, SunPower. The pitch is that the energy required to recharge the car could be generated by rooftop solar panels, and that environmentally conscious consumers could go green on the road and at home at the same time. Per USA Today:
"In effect, you are driving a solar-powered car," says SunPower CEO Tom Werner. He says his customers are always commenting, "Wouldn't it be cool if I could power my car?"
Well, actually, the energy generated by the solar panels is only enough to offset about 1,000 miles of driving per month. That figure is likely to shift depending on multiple factors, including the time of year and the climate and precise location of the home—some spots are better for generating solar power than others. Also, the solar panel package deal is one pricey option, running approximately $10,000 after federal tax credits.
(MORE: Are Much Cheaper Car Prices Coming Soon?)
Meanwhile, the Wall Street Journal reports that automakers are trying all sorts of ways to incorporate solar power into vehicles to improve fuel efficiency—a key goal, considering that car manufacturers must meet tough mpg requirements in the near future. One option on the Toyota Prius, for instance, is a solar-powered ventilation system. The system uses solar panels on the vehicle's moonroof, and it's the power of the hot sun that actually helps keep the vehicle cool.

Strawman X.Org Foundation License Policy
Current Status
The following was initially written down 9/20/2004; it is considered a strawman policy, and your input and opinions are solicited on the mailing list. It cannot yet be considered full consensus of the community. The policy to date can be characterized as "first, do no harm", but the previous inflexibility has also had serious costs.
The X.Org Foundation board believes its role is to try help the community generate a policy with full feedback from the membership.
Also note that with the intention of modularizing the distribution, new parts of the system may in the future be available under different terms than has been true under the past.
This strawman a policy was generated by Jim Gettys, however, to help get the discussion going, who stated this position informally in a number of forums and has had encouraging feedback, but as there has not been public review and comment and it has not been written down and accepted, it must be regarded as a strawman.
Strawman policy on X.org licensing
Many people, organizations and companies, have contributed to the corpus of code distributed by X.org, which has been built over 20 years. An implicit unwritten understanding of their contributions to the X Window System code base has been that the code would remain available to them under the same terms that it was made available to the community into the future, though, in fact, there has been no legal terms in the licenses used in X code to enforce this. Violating this trust would be to the long term detriment of X.org, the contributors and organizations that have funded X development.
The current body of code is primarily under the "MIT License", which is considered fully acceptable software by the entire community, whether they call themselves open source or free.(*) A description of what it means to be free software may have best been stated by the Debian project, in the Debian Free Software Guidelines. Certainly licenses that qualify by these guidelines are the only licenses the full community finds acceptable.
Detailed Consequences
1. Adding more restrictive copyrights on modifications to existing code bases is not allowed. For example, if a patch or file is added to a library, it may not have copyrights any more restrictive than that of the module which it is a part of, and the usual expectation will be that it be the MIT license or the license used by that module. The most complicated situations come up as software is "aggregated" into larger programs or systems.
1. Interactions among copyrights easily become very complicated, and in fact, contradictions among licenses can occur that prevent aggregates being distributed at all. _Compatibility_ between common licenses is a real issue we must continue to be sensitive to, and licenses cannot be arbitrarily mixed in a system as a result. The consequences of a new module that becomes part of a larger program (e.g. a graphics driver in the X server) must be very carefully analyzed before they can be accepted (there can be situations that would make it illegal for the aggregate to be shipped), or it could be that previous contributors contributions might become effectively useless to them, violating the implicit trust given by previous contributors that the terms would not change in the future.
1. Similarly, requiring a new dependency on a module may present serious issues. An example might be the required dependency on a GPL only library (note GPL rather than LGPL) for which there is no BSD/MIT licensed equivalent that is required generally for the software to be useful, which might disenfranchise those who may be unwilling to accept such libraries on other platforms. Note that dependencies that are specific to a single platform might or might not generate problems of this class, depending upon the precise circumstances. Note that during the recent Cairo licensing discussion that even the LGPL by itself could be problematic, due to concerns of use in embedded systems, in which X has been and continues to be used. Further understanding of the issues raised during that discussion are needed to understand if those concerns are valid, even though a solution for that particular situation has been found.
1. Consequences 2) and 3) argue toward simplicity of licensing; X.org desires to keep the overall aggregate licensing simple and may discourage/forbid the use of licenses that complicate licensing or make aggregate programs or systems difficult or impossible. The board of directors will decide on whether a license not already in use in the module or program in the system is allowed after full public discussion, if consensus during that discussion is not reached.
1. new contributions under other DFSG compliant licenses will be considered, so long as conditions 1-4 are met.
(*) there are currently some exceptions to this situation, e.g. GLX, the B&H Luxi fonts; we (the board) are as time permits attempting to see if we can get these modules relicensed more appropriately.

No More Zip-Locs: 18 Reusable Snack and Sandwich Bags
We are asked this question a lot: Where do you find easy-to-clean, food-safe, reusable sandwich bags? And we've answered it here, here, and here. Each time, you've filled the comments with great options from Etsy sellers and other companies, so we decided to gather all of our intelligence (thus far) into one place. Here's the mother lode.
We kept our list to snack and sandwich bags only; no produce or lunch bags (you can search for those in our archives, though—we've covered both quite a bit). And our criteria, besides having a usable photo to show you, are that the bags come in a variety of colors and patterns, be sealable (Velcro or zipper), and be lined with nylon or some other wipeable material.
We're breaking it down by Etsy and Non-Etsy, with the Non category up first. Obviously, there are dozens, probably hundreds, of Etsy sellers we're not mentioning. We tried to stick to sellers recommended by you in the comments of other posts; that way, they're vouched for by at least one person out there. If you have a favorite that isn't on our list, let us know.
• 1. Lunchskins; $7.85 for snack size, $8.95 for sandwich size
• 2. RuMe Bags; $4.95 for baggies, $4.50 for "pockets."
• 3. Itzy Ritzy, $9.99.
• 4. Snack Taxi; $6.95 for snack size, $8.95 for sandwich size.
• 5. Reusit; $6.95 for snack size, $8.95 for sandwich size.
• 6. Baggu; $8 for three small zipper bags.
• 7. Kids Konserve Food Kozy; 2 for $9 or 5 for $23.
• 8. Green Time Bags; $6.95 for snack size, $8.95 for sandwich size.
ETSY (starting from the 4th photo on the 2nd row):
• 9. Waste Not Saks; $6.50 for snack size, $7.50 for sandwich size.
• 10. Love For Earth; $6.50 for snack size, $9.60 for sandwich size.
• 11. Bag it Conscious; $6.50 for snack size, $7 for sandwich size.
• 12. Julie Meyer; $14 for a sandwich/snack set.
• 13. Fabrik; $7 for 5 snack bags.
• 14. Obleek; $6 for snack size, $7 for sandwich size.
• 15. Cilicia's Home and Hearth, $6.
• 16. Simply Practical, $6.
• 17. Hustle Mama, $4.
• 18. The Green Cat; $1.25 for a FlipFlap sack.
So, that's our list. Any additions?

- Tonight's WWE NXT TV tapings will take place from Full Sail University in Winter Park, Florida. Scheduled to appear are Dolph Ziggler, AJ Lee and Big E Langston. We will have a full spoiler report later tonight.
- Before the tapings at 2:30pm EST today, WWE will have a media day for the big grand opening of the new Performance Center in Orlando. Internally, WWE officials are very pleased with the center and very high on what it will mean to the development of new talents. We will have a recap of any events at the center today.
- Former WWE Diva Eve Torres noted on Twitter that she's headed to Romania for a "super fun" project and used the hashtag #SK4 as a hint. She's apparently going to Romania to film a role in Scorpion King 4, which will be released direct to video later this year.
- WWE's website has a new article up on NXT's Mason Ryan, who disappeared from the main roster several months ago. The article notes that Ryan is "recharged and refocused" and on a road to redemption. Ryan talked about working with CM Punk and The Nexus, then his future:
"When I first started with the WWE, things moved very fast for me, which was a good and bad thing. I was in a very privileged position long before I was ready for it. I could have gotten the ball and ran with it, but I don't feel like I did. My opportunity will come again, and when it does, nobody is going to take it from me."

This week at the Black Hat Security Conference two security researchers will discuss their findings which could completely bring Windows Vista to its knees. According to Dino Dai Zovi, a popular security researcher, "the genius of this is that it's completely reusable. They have attacks that let them load chosen content to a chosen location with chosen permissions. That's completely game over."

About The Body Shop
To call The Body Shop a mere skin and body care store is to miss half of what makes it special. Late founder Dame Anita Roddick was a pioneer for ethical business practices; upon opening her first store in Brighton, England, in 1976, she developed company values such as "Defend Human Rights" and "Protect The Planet." She somehow balanced principles and profit, partnering in global campaigns with UNICEF, Greenpeace, Amnesty International, and the United Nations, all while ultimately expanding her brand into 2,500 locations in over 60 international markets. After her death in 2007, then-British Prime Minister Gordon Brown said, "She campaigned for green issues for many years before it became fashionable to do so and inspired millions to the cause by bringing sustainable products to a mass market. . . . She was an inspiration."
Indeed, the Body Shop exhibits an eco-friendliness and social consciousness that's hard to come by in a company of its size. Its products have been fair-trade since 1987, and its Against Animal Testing movement led to an EU-wide ban of animal testing of cosmetics. The products are made from ingredients harvested from around the world: shea butter from Ghana goes into body scrubs and butters, and Indian artisans craft wooden massagers and tote bags that are screenprinted by hand. But all that isn't to say the company's production practices overshadow its final products. Skincare treatments such as the brand's iconic body butters, facial products, and gift collections often appear in Allure, Marie Claire, Lucky, Seventeen and other national publications.

Decals say Malvern Star and the top tube says Evolution, my question is, is this a legitimate Malvern Star model? As I cannot find any reference or picture of it on the internet!? Could it be a fake or maybe no t many photos were taken of it a the time?
It has a flat handle bar, SIS gearing, the steel tube paint work is grey with squiggly lines, kick stand and had a wide style back pannier.
Was in really good condition (kept indoors) and so I took it into a neighbourhood bike store that said they could 'refurbish bikes', I will not name them, and all they simply did was paint the handle bar/stem/fork in black and replace the chain, seat and brakes with generic 'Giant' branded products, suffice to say I was extremely disappointed, as maybe I hadn't explained myself properly that I really wanted it converted to a nice looking road bike. So I paid my $400 and half way home the pedal fell out.
Turns out my dad said 'oh yeah by the way the pedal had rounded of at the joint and it falls out a few minutes after tightening", so that leads me to believe the bike store did not do a full restore as they would have noticed that problem!
So off to a different bike store who fixed this problem immediately with an entirely new crankset and chain ring. The guy remarked that it looked like I had spent way to much money (aka ripped off) on the new bits, but having been burnt by the initial 'rebuild' was reluctant to let them have a go at making it more cool.
Should I strip it to the frame, rebuild it from there and turn it into a nice road bike with chrome Quill, drop bar and more gears? I ask this because I think it might be a hybrid bike but would it still work? Been watching few YouTube videos, so I could give it a go, or should I try a third time to give it to a professional bike restorer?
Maybe I was misunderstood being a gal, but I really want to upgrade it as I don't have a car and I only ride bikes, my current Scott Foil 20 is fast but not handy and I need to get this steel bike going to cart things around (it has eyelets ) the Foil now that I think about it was an impulse (aka badly though out) buy, in reaction to having my Scott CX Comp (best bike I have owned) stolen the previous week, 2 years previous I had my Giant Hybrid stolen as well, hence my desire to get this treasured bike tip top - its really irking me.

text: I've had good luck with the NUK bags (I have frozen in 2, 4, and 6 oz portions). Thick plastic, double zipper, seams have never split on me. I've only had 1 leak so far (in 10 mos). They are also a great value ($10 for a box of 50 on Amazon). I do thaw mine in a bowl or dish so that the milk isn't lost in the event of a leak.

Nice concept course. A couple of rip holes, but very few of them. The course is most likely UNPLAYABLE DURING CLASS! Most of it weaves through the campus. FUN, but just not during school.

Make This Now: Savory Cheese Pie Crust
I feel like I say this a lot, especially when it comes to cheese: I've been meaning to talk about something for a long time. This time, it's about a certain cheesy pie crust, which can instantly enhance any savory hand pie, turnover, meat pie, galette, or rustic vegetable tart. I've even been tempted to use it in a sweet application. It's just that good.
Following is a recipe for this flakiest of pastry doughs — I think the additional fat from the cheese aids in this. Get the tips on how to ensure the most tender and flaky crust, what not to do when you're making this dough, and what kinds of dishes you can create using this recipe as a base.
The only qualm you'll have over this dough is that you didn't discover it sooner. Sorry about that.
If you're married to your pâte brisée or basic pie dough recipe, there really may be no better recipe to take a chance on than this one. Punched up by a hefty hit of Parmesan, there's not much else that I'd feel as confident getting behind.
Those salty-nutty-cheesy notes from the crust compliment just about any savory dish. And I'm pretty sure I mentioned the flakiness, too, but just to reiterate: it's kinda perfect, this recipe, it really is. If you've never attempted making pie dough from scratch, try this one. And soon.
Some ideas to get you started: Try it with savory hand pies, like these Pork and Guinness Hand Pies, or this Meat Pie with Artichokes, Cipollini and Mushroom Tart or even this Shallot Tart Tatin.
The recipe comes from Martha Stewart's Pies & Tarts book, and the dough forms the base for a Cherry Tomato, Bocconcini, and Zucchini Pie, baked in a deep-dish pie plate.

If you want to be free-form about it, make a galette. That's what I did, which turned out to be as tasty as can be, with slow-roasted tomato slices, mozzarella, and fresh thyme. Ideas for successful fillings or toppings are pretty endless. Try using vegetables tossed in olive oil and salt and then spread into the crust (good picks would be fennel, sweet onions, fresh corn, butternut squash, or even cauliflower), in conjunction with a cheese (try manchego, fontina, fresh ricotta, burrata, or gruyere), or maybe a meat (sopressata, fresh sausage, or bacon).
Look at the captions on the pictures above for some tips when making the dough. Some other things to keep in mind:
- Don't over-process your dough, especially after you begin to add the ice water. Doing so develops the gluten in the flour, which leads to a tough, very unflaky, crust.
- Try other cheeses in the dough! Aged pecorino, manchego, Piave, or Grana Padano would all be great choices, but don't go for anything too melty, like Comte or cheddar.
- When rolling your dough, try your best not to incorporate excess flour. Use just enough to ease your dough into shape, flouring as necessary underneath and on the top of your dough round, rather than onto your rolling pin itself. Keep a dry pastry brush at the ready to brush off clumps of flour as you roll, and chill the dough at any point if it becomes too soft.
- Chill your dough before baking! After assembling your tart, galette, or pie, chill it until firm in the freezer or refrigerator. Then bake it hot, at 400 degrees, until it starts to color. Turn down your oven to 375 if the crust begins to brown too much, and bake to completion.
- Before baking, brush your crust with 1 egg yolk plus 1 tablespoon heavy cream, for a pretty sheen.
2 1/4 cups all-pupose flour, plus more for dusting
1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon coarse salt
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1 large egg yolk, plus 1 large egg yolk for egg wash
1/4 to 1/2 cup ice water
1 tablespoon heavy cream, for egg wash
Pulse flour, cheese, salt, and butter in a food processor until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add 1 egg yolk; pulse to combine. Drizzle in 1/4 cup more water, and pulse until dough just comes together. (If dough is still crumbly, add up to 1/4 cup more water, 1 tablespoon at a time.) Form dough into a disk, and wrap in plastic. Refrigerate or freeze until firm, about 30 minutes.

CINCINNATI (AP) - Joey Votto drove in a pair of runs, and Shin-Soo Choo extended his hitting streak to a career-high 14 games on Saturday, leading the Cincinnati Reds to a 5-4 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates.
The third-place Reds have won the first two games in the NL Central series, closing their gap with second-place Pittsburgh to two games. The Ohio River rivals have split their 12 games this season.
Cincinnati's Mat Latos (9-3) and Pittsburgh's A.J. Burnett (4-7) had a tough time finding their control after a 1-hour, 17-minute rain delay in the middle of the first inning. Aroldis Chapman escaped a two-on threat in the ninth for his 23rd save in 26 chances.
Latos gave up three runs in only five innings. Travis Snider's pinch-hit RBI double cut it to 5-4 in the eighth, but Logan Ondrusek got Jose Tabata to ground out with the bases loaded, ending the rally.
NEW YORK (AP) - Gonzalez Germen came out of the bullpen to bail out fellow rookie Zack Wheeler and help the New York Mets hold off Philadelphia.
Marlon Byrd, David Wright and Daniel Murphy each had an RBI single for the Mets, who handed Cole Hamels his latest defeat and snapped Philadelphia's seven-game winning streak at Citi Field. Another rookie, Juan Lagares, had a run-scoring single among his three hits.
Jimmy Rollins hit a leadoff homer, and Chase Utley had a two-run shot in the ninth for the Phillies. They put the potential tying run on second with two outs before Bobby Parnell retired Darin Ruf on a game-ending liner to second.
Germen (1-1) escaped a bases-loaded jam and struck out three in 1 2-3 hitless innings for his first major league win. Parnell got three outs for his 18th save despite allowing Utley's homer.
Hamels (4-12) allowed three runs in a 35-pitch first inning and was pulled for a pinch-hitter after five. The three-time All-Star and 2008 World Series MVP leads the NL in losses.
MILWAUKEE (AP) - Yovani Gallardo carried a shutout into the seventh inning, and Jonathan Lucroy and Rickie Weeks belted home runs, leading Milwaukee over Miami.
Gallardo (8-8) gave up five hits in 6 1-3 innings. He struck out five batters and walked two. Four relievers combined to preserve the shutout as the Brewers held the Marlins without a run for the second consecutive game and extended Miami's scoreless streak to 24 innings.
Lucroy went 4 for 4 and finished a triple short of a cycle.
The Brewers stretched their dominance at home over the Marlins, winning for the 13th time in 16 games at Miller Park, dating to 2009.
The Brewers got to Miami starter Nathan Eovaldi (2-1) for two runs in the first inning. Rickie Weeks led off the fourth inning with a homer to center field.
Eovaldi surrendered 10 hits and six runs in four innings. He struck out five and walked two.
DENVER (AP) - Carlos Gonzalez homered and Todd Helton had three of the Rockies' 13 hits in a win over the Cubs.
Troy Tulowitzki, Dexter Fowler and Wilin Rosario had two hits each for a Colorado offense that had scored eight runs in its previous five games.
Luis Valbuena homered and had two RBIs for the Cubs.
Juan Nicasio (6-4) allowed one run on three hits in five innings to get his second straight win since being recalled from Triple-A on July 12.
Carlos Villanueva (2-6) allowed seven runs on nine hits in four-plus innings. He is winless in his last eight starts and his last victory came in relief against Seattle on June 29.
DODGERS 3, NATIONALS 1, 10 innings
WASHINGTON (AP) - Hanley Ramirez doubled to highlight a two-run 10th inning, and the Dodgers used seven pitchers to again tame the tepid offense of the Nationals.
Adrian Gonzalez led off the 10th with a double off Craig Stammen (5-5). Ramirez followed immediately with an RBI double for his third hit of the night, then scored two batters later on Andre Ethier's sacrifice fly.
Ethier won Friday's game with a ninth-inning homer, and the first two games of the series yielded outcomes that kept the teams trending in opposite directions. The Dodgers have won seven of nine to close within striking distance of the NL West lead; the Nationals have lost seven of nine to fall into third in the NL East.
ST. LOUIS (AP) - Edinson Volquez was bailed out by his bullpen and earned the victory in San Diego's win over the Cardinals.
Nick Vincent, Dale Thayer, Luke Gregorson and Huston Street worked an inning apiece after Volquez (7-8) faded at the end of a five-inning outing. Street was perfect in the ninth for his 16th save in 17 chances after Carlos Quentin's RBI double off Trevor Rosenthal in the ninth put the Padres up by two runs.
Lance Lynn (11-5) lost for the fourth time in five starts, allowing four runs in five innings. Allen Craig had a two-run single and 29-year-old rookie Brock Peterson had an RBI groundout in his first major league at-bat after getting called up to replace injured Matt Holliday.
Jedd Gyorko, Everth Cabrera and Nick Hundley added an RBI apiece for San Diego, which had lost 19 of 23.
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - Buster Posey hit a two-run homer and Matt Cain bounced back from two rough starts to earn his first win in more than a month as the Giants beat the first-place Diamondbacks for a second straight night.
Posey connected for his 14th homer in the fifth inning. Cain (6-6) allowed two runs in five-plus innings after failing to make it out of the third inning his last two starts to win for the first time since June 13 at Pittsburgh.
With wins in the first two games out of the All-Star break, the World Series champion Giants have cut their deficit in the NL West to 4 1/2 games behind Arizona. The Diamondbacks' lead over the Los Angeles Dodgers fell to a half-game as Wade Miley (6-8) lasted just four innings.
CHICAGO (AP) - Alex Rios hit a grand slam and drove in five runs, and Jake Peavy pitched six solid innings in his return from the disabled list to lead Chicago over Atlanta.
Rios, who had been in a 2-for-20 slump, went 3 for 5 to help Chicago win for just the 10th time in 32 games.
Peavy (7-4), making his first start since June 4 because of a fracture rib, allowed seven hits in six innings, and just two of the four runs charged to him were earned.
Braves starter Paul Maholm (9-9) was forced out in the fourth inning because of a sprained left wrist. He was staked to a 4-0 lead but couldn't hold it. He allowed seven runs and seven hits in three-plus innings.

Everybody's favourite not-Google search engine - DuckDuckGo - has received a complete redesign and a whole slew of new features.
Today DuckDuckGo is launching a reimagined and redesigned version that focuses on smarter answers and a more refined look. This new version adds often requested features like images, local search, auto-suggest and much more.
Compared to today's Google, it looks incredibly clean, and the new features - for once - do not get in the way of the stuff that was already there. It must be hard to redesign and add new features to a search engine that is more or less known for being the opposite of Google, but I think they have managed to pull it off.
