DRM - Is It Going Extinct? DRM, or Digital Rights Management has been a thorn in our side since the Digital Millennium copyright act of 1998. Finally, it seems user complaints have won over the DRM war, and now we are seeing more and more DRM-free media.

What's that clicking sound in the background it's annoying
Otherwise excellent demonstration -
excelent bo part
Parca as vedea un film chinezesc vechi cu…pac pac pac pac pe fundal. In rest…foarte tare gg
This is good. It really demonstrates the true intent of Ninjutsu martial arts which is distract, overwhelm, and escape! It was not like the Samurai who had to fight to the death for honor. It was about surviving, escaping and completing their mission.

Morning Light
This is practice piece (inspired by a photo and enhanced by memory and morning observation) represents the light through our summer foggy mornings -- the sun is breaking through the clouds and coming over the woodlands, grasses and weeds are covering the fields, and there is an indistinction among the individual trees forming the backdrop. Fog is lifting slowly, and though it's cool, there's a sense of the heat to come later in the day ... it's a summer morning in North Carolina.
We've had more rain yesterday, and this morning, the fog is denser. Puddles are everywhere, trees and rooflines drip excess water. More rain is expected, but the plants seem happy with their dryness quenched ...
I make my way through the day's obligations, a few less meetings, a bit more time to find my desk among the papers. Students return next week to register for classes, and the season turns .....

Hi Lin!
No, I haven't fallen off the face of the earth... though I came close to falling off the ladder while picking blueberries! The blueberry picking is done for another year... what a huge job it was this year. Phew. I appreciate the bounty... but hope that next year is not quite as big a crop! LOL!
Love your beautiful painting. I've missed seeing them. I've now got Extended Reach instead of dial up so I hope I can stay up with my blog reading a little better... it took SO long to read blogs on dial up... takes forever for the pages to load with all the graphics on them. Goodbye to dial up... I shall not miss it!

I hope you are well. Sending you big big hugs, Jona - 06 August, 2009

Blondie/Madonna Musical Dish In One-Man Show
In 2007, Peter Michael Marino wrote a musical version of Desperately Seeking Susan with music from the Blondie songbook, though the show ended up desperately seeking an afterlife following its London and Tokyo engagements.
Well, here it is:
Desperately Seeking the Exit, Marino's one-man show about his experience!
I saw it Sunday night at one of New York's most atmospheric restaurants, the Hourglass Tavern (on Restaurant Row), and delighted to Marino's tireless energy and humor.

Brooklyn Nets vs. Philadelphia 76ers
TicketsTue., Mar. 28, 7:30pm
As he tells it, the musical was victimized by direction that sucked out a lot of the motivations and made everything small, unrealistic choreography that tried to make everything large, and various internal battles.
(Director Joe Mantello was out after saying he should get more money, Debbie Harry got extra cash after she said the poster appropriated her look, and so on, until a producer wanted the Gary character's name changed to Larry because she had an ex named Gary and it made her uncomfortable!)
And yet, Marino enjoyed seeing the finished product and was devastated when critics said they were desperately seeking a better show.
Debbie only saw it in the closing week, said she liked it but wished there weren't so many New Jersey jokes in the script, and then informed Marino that she was not going to pursue the project anymore.
But it ended up in Tokyo, where a surreal reimagining was a big hit with audiences, who even laughed at the Jersey jokes!
And at least Marino has a hit with the show about the show.
I'd take out the gag about colon cancer and the too-familiar bit about how the English call cigarettes "fags," but otherwise, Marino has gotten into the groove of the delicious absurdity of putting on a musical, especially the way passive-aggressive cluelessness can kill a wannabe exuberant entertainment.
And I loved his asking the crowd, "Has anyone seen the movie Desperately Seeking Susan?"
[Everyone applauded.]
"Then why didn't you come to see my fucking musical?"

On a nice autumn day, I decided to drive with a friend from Prince George to Vanderhoof. Founded in 1926, Vanderhoof is a small agricultural community just over 100 kilometres (60 miles) west of Prince George on Highway 16. The air was brisk as we left the city, but by the time we arrived, it was warming up. We decided to first visit the countryside surrounding the town, as we wanted to search for some Canada Geese. Because of the many agricultural fields surrounding Vanderhoof, this area is a very popular place for them and other birds to stop at on their annual migration.
The fog made the landscape seem very surreal as we were driving on the country roads. In the not too far distance, you could hear the calls of the geese. Suddenly, a flock of them flew out from the edges of the fog, and soon, we could see others as the fog was disappearing. It was the most amazing sight I've seen in a long time!
After exploring the countryside, we headed to town. We stopped at Riverside Park by the Nechako River and walked around; there is a lovely trail that follows the river and gives you a chance to see some bird life across at the Nechako Migratory Bird Sanctuary.
We then headed to the centre of town to look at some of the older buildings and learn a little about them (note: the Vanderhoof Visitor Centre has an excellent History And Culture Tour Card that you can use to explore the historical side of Vanderhoof). Some of the original buildings that you can find in Vanderhoof include the Vanderhoof Department store which has been there for nearly five decades, the Reid Hotel from the 1920s, and also the Reo Theatre, which is one few remaining small cinemas left in Canada (see the photo below). The building that the theatre is housed in was built approximately 90 years ago, and was also at one time a parlour and a merchant shop.
We checked out an Anglican Church down the street which was built in 1932. While we were looking at it on the outside, a nice volunteer opened the front door, and invited us in. It looked nice and cozy inside and I was amazed that it has room for 100 people. The stain glassed windows were really pretty with the sunlight filtering through them. I was so excited when I had a chance to go up the bell tower and ring the bell!
After visiting the downtown area, we headed to the Vanderhoof Museum on the outskirts of town. They have moved a lot of old buildings from the area to this location, including the OK Cafe, which was built in 1920 to serve the miners going to and from the northern mining camps. The OK Cafe is a lovely place to stop for a bite to eat, serving up homemade soup, and other tasty treats. The museum was closed for the season, but we could still eat at the cafe and then explore the museum grounds to check out the various old buildings – there is even an old CN caboose on display.
If you would like to learn more about the area between Vanderhoof and Anaheim Lake to the south, I recommend reading the collection of books by Richmond P. Hobson Jr. which includes Grass Beyond the Mountains.

Olympics: British athletes end deal with Murdoch papers
British athletes on Thursday cancelled a deal with Rupert Murdoch's News International which gave his British newspaper arm exclusive access to their preparations for the London 2012 Olympics.
Team 2012 said it had terminated the media partnership with the publisher due to the closure of the News of the World tabloid amid the phone-hacking scandal, which made it impossible to fulfil the original contract.
Under the deal Murdoch's remaining papers in Britain -- The Sun, The Times and The Sunday Times -- would have been able to brand themselves the "Official Newspaper of Team 2012".
But the move comes amid a massive public backlash against Murdoch's papers, including an advertisers' boycott of the News of the World over hacking allegations, a move that triggered the closure of Britain's biggest-selling Sunday newspaper.
"The Team 2012 joint venture, including Visa as its presenting partner, has had a contract with the News International Group as its official media partner," Team 2012 said in a statement.
"As a result of the closure of News of the World, the contract can no longer be fulfilled as originally envisaged."
Team 2012 said it was "now exploring media partnerships across a range of channels".
It said that "all parties in the joint venture remain totally committed to Team 2012 and are working to make sure that we continue to give the 1,200-plus athletes from Team 2012 Visa the best chance of achieving success".
Since it emerged that News of the World hacked into and deleted the voicemails of a murdered schoolgirl the scandal has spiralled to involve police, politicians and even put pressure on Prime Minister David Cameron.
Two top police officers, Scotland Yard chief Paul Stephenson and anti-terror supremo John Yates, have resigned saying reports linking them to the scandal made it difficult for them to focus on security for the Olympics, which begin in just over a year's time.

I gotta tell you guys, the black rifle is all over SHOT this year. Everywhere you turn there is a booth selling rifle's gadgets and Gizmo's I looked at Daniel Defense, Troy and Samson rail systems as I want to change the older rail I have on my gun. The DD stuff rocks, of course it's about the best. Since I had previously cut the Delta ring off my rifle I planned on going with a two piece free float that attaches to the barrel nut. I looked at Troy and Samson, I gotta say that the Samson rail (the one STAG uses OEM) is a great rail. It's 1/2 ounce lighter than any of the others and there are no tools needed to remove the lower section like the Troy and the older Samson. It is a few bucks more at wholesale than a Troy but I like the rail a whole lot more. Once I receive the one I ordered I'll post some photo's to show the differences and why I like this rail. I opened an account with Daniel Defense and my next rifle will have an Omega rail. That is the slickest set up I've ever seen.
DD has great products. I have a 12 Lite on a 16" middy, and their Omega 7.0 on a 16" carbine. I have a Samson rail on my Sig556; for one thing, it is so much better than the stock plastic crap that it has improved the rifle far beyond what it was. Also, the top rail runs the length of the receiver, with is a nice feature. Some people complained about the "SSSSS"-looking design of the cutouts, but I would not have noticed or called it that had it not been mentioned.
I have a DD rail on one of my Colts, and I do like it. However, the new small diameter rail with the user configured rail system that I handled at SHOT is fantastic. It's lighter and less bulky, at least as strong, and modular. I've got a 9mm Colt that needs a forend upgrade, and I'll be going with the new Troy unit.
According to the NRA, the AR is the best selling rifle design of all time, out selling even the Remington 700. So its no surprise that they are everywhere now. Semi-Auto Rifles are the mainstream now...
+1 They are some much of a main stream, that NSSF is running PSAs to educate non-gun owners. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VbDQUADaIkE&feature=player_embedded
and with the caliber options it is more accepted for a hunting rifle besides just prarie dog hunting.
Wow - that's a great video provided in the link above. Thanks for posting it - I will send it to a couple old-timers who I think would love ARs if they could get past the group-think they spit out about them.

Moncton, New Brunswick - Royal Canadian Mounted Police combed the streets and woods of this normally tranquil city Thursday in search of a man suspected of killing three officers in the deadliest attack on their ranks in nearly a decade.
The suspect, 24-year-old Justin Bourque, was armed with high-powered long firearms. He was spotted three times while eluding the massive manhunt that emptied roads and kept families hunkered in their homes in Moncton, an east coast city where gun violence is rare.
Dozens of police officers could be seen in a part of the search perimeter with their weapons drawn, some glancing around buildings. Others, including members of a tactical unit, were patrolling streets within the cordoned-off area. Armored security trucks were also visible.
"Our search for the suspect is still ongoing," RCMP Cpl. Chantal Farrah told a news conference Thursday afternoon. "Our focus remains in the mountain north area."
Police urged residents to keep their doors locked and to turn on exterior lights to help the search.
"Stay at home, bar your doors and be vigilant," Farrah said. "I know it's hard for families. You are in your house, you are locked, you have your kids, you want to go outside. But the police are saying to stay in."
Police were using air support, tactical teams and canine units, she said. Several hundred officers from New Brunswick and elsewhere from across Canada were involved.
"We have deployed a large amount of resources from here and elsewhere, and we are well-equipped to face this situation," Farrah said.
Bourque was spotted three times around the search area Thursday morning, said Commander Marlene Snowman.
Bourque was wearing military camouflage and carrying two rifles in a picture released by police on Twitter.
At one point, he was seen coming in and out of a wooded area, Snowman said. "He's capable of moving into the wooded area and out," she said.
Investigators have not determined a motive for the shooting Wednesday evening, in which three officers were killed while responding to a call about an armed man. Two other officers were wounded.
Police did not identify the dead or injured officers.
Canada's Parliament observed a moment of silence and the flag on Parliament Hill flew at half-mast.
It was the deadliest attack on the Royal Canadian Mounted Police since four officers were killed by a gunman on a farm in the western Canadian province of Alberta in 2005. That attack remains the deadliest on Canadian police officers in 120 years.
Snowman said Bourque was not known to police.
Schools and government offices were closed, and the city pulled its buses off the roads. Mail delivery was suspended.
Commanding Officer Roger Brown said the two wounded officers underwent surgery for non-life-threatening injuries Thursday and he met with their families. One was later released from hospital.
"The RCMP family is hurting. As is Moncton, New Brunswick and our country," Brown said.
The homicides were the first this year in this city of 69,000 people about 180 miles east of the Maine border. RCMP Constable Damien Theriault said Moncton had no homicides last year.
Police released a map of a large portion of the northwest section of the city, including a heavily wooded area, where they wanted people to remain indoors with their doors locked. Families hunkered down in their basements.
Tim Holt said he and his daughter had been locked down in their home for hours. Holt's wife worked late Wednesday and wasn't allowed to join her family.
"I've just been locked in with my baby girl," Holt said by telephone as his 1-year-old daughter Leigha babbled in the background.
A few blocks away, Conrad Gagnon, 53, said he was playing a video game in his living room when he spotted a man through a window.
"It was like he was meditating on something and talking ... like somebody on drugs and living in his own world," he said. "He was talking to himself. I saw his lips moving."
Shortly afterward, Gagnon said he heard gunfire.
"I heard five or six shots, and after that another five or six shots," he said.
Kerry Fitzpatrick, who lives half a block away from Bourque and heard gunfire ring out on Wednesday, said he met Bourque in 2010 when they were both working at the same warehouse. Fitzpatrick hadn't seen him much since he quit that job two years later, but stopped by Bourque's place five days ago after hearing he had gotten a new job at a food depot. Bourque lived in a trailer home with a male roommate, Fitzpatrick said.
"He seemed fine, it was a normal conversation," Fitzpatrick told The Associated Press on Thursday by phone from his home, where he was on lockdown. Fitzpatrick said Bourque "obviously had things on his mind," based on a stretch of recent Facebook posts about guns and the police.
"It was never something that we took serious because we actually know him, as friends," he said. "He lost it. The guy lost it."
Fitzpatrick said he heard Wednesday's shooting from inside his home and then walked to Bourque's place when he heard it might be him. The door was open and Bourque's wallet was on the table, he said.
Fitzpatrick said Bourque had a collection of guns and was "an avid hunter" of birds, deer and moose.
"He never missed a season," Fitzpatrick said.
Such violence is rare in Canada, particularly on the east coast.
The three officers were the first Canadian police killed in the line of duty since March 2013, when a police officer in northern Quebec was shot after responding to a domestic violence call.
According to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police website, the last officer to die from a gunshot wound was on Nov. 5, 2007.
In 1974, two Moncton officers were kidnapped, shot and killed after making a traffic stop.

Shares of Netflix (NFLX) did an about-face on Tuesday after a judge denied an appeal by the U.S. Federal Communications Commission that gives broadband providers like Verizon Communications (VZ) the freedom to raise fees for faster speeds.
Continue Reading Below
The appeals court ruled that Internet service providers can charge content producers like Netflix more if they wish to increase broadband speed. The decision throws out certain key parts of the FCC's Open Internet rules that sought net neutrality.
Shares of Netflix were down about 1% to $333.62 in recent trade following the ruling.
Earlier in the day, they were trending higher after the movie streamer unveiled its newest original series called "The Adventures of Marco Polo" set to launch later in 2014.
Its shares had also benefited from FBN Securities initiating coverage on the stock with an "outperform" rating and a price target of $425.
Continue Reading Below
"NFLX has a quite successful (so far) Originals series that increases customer stickiness and subscriber growth," FBN Securities analysts said in a note to clients on Tuesday.
The brokerage said it believes Netflix will be able to successfully grow international profitability, projecting the business increases to 28% of revenue in 2015 from just 8% in 2012.
It also says Netflix has the room to raise prices to the tune of $2 a month.
"Our analysis concludes that a $2 increase in its monthly subscription prices domestically could increase F2015 EPS by $2 (from ~$7 to ~$9)," the analysts said.

CLIFFS OF ECHOES | [ Sizes: Orig | Large | Med | Small | Thumb ] | |||
Geologically speaking, the bulk of southern NV's Spring Mountains is composed of layered and tilted limestone that formed some 500 million years ago as sediments settling in ancient seas. This is the north face of 8,360' Echo Cliff, as seen from the Cathedral Rock trail in Mazie Canyon. Recent geological evidence suggests that NV's Spring Mountains were the southernmost glaciated range in the Great Basin, the last glacier melting at the end of the Ice Age about 20,000 years ago. If you take a good look at the north face of Echo Cliff, you'll notice that the entire face is curved inward in the form of a glacial-carved cirque. Even if glaciers never got this far south, these limestone cliffs can ROCK the imagination far enough into recognizing the faint ECHOES of a strange and distant rock tune from days gone by. | Image Data

Subject | [jira] Commented: (TORQUE-72) Beans should not require torque.objectIsCaching = true setting to create all complexModel methods. |
Date | Mon, 18 Dec 2006 12:50:23 GMT |
[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TORQUE-72?page=comments#action_12459300 ] Thomas Fischer commented on TORQUE-72: -------------------------------------- I'm not sure whether the FK get methods make sense without complexObjectModel set to true. If one changes the value of complexObjectModel, the interface of the database objects changes, so why should the interface of the bean objects not change ? Considering what these methods should do if complexObjectModel is set to false makes this point clear: Currently, if complexObjectModel is set to true, the current bean creation code just takes the lists of cached related objects and stores them in the beans. If they have not been queried yet, nothing is stored, even when related objects exist. In the bean, one can tell the difference between "was not queried" and "no related objects exist" because the returned list is null in the former case and an empty list in the latter. So what should happen in the get methods if complexObjectModel is false ? I can see three possibilities 1) query the db on bean creations for the foreign keys and store the results in the beans 2) always return null 3) always throw an exception 1) is not really an option in my eyes. It is contrary to the intent of setting complexObjectModel to false. 2) would always tell "no objects cached". If these methods are added, this would be my preferred implementation. 3) would say "this method is only there for interface compliance reasons". This would be different to the implementation if complexObjectModel is turned on, and thus is in my eyes inferior to solution 2) Assuming the implementation 2, what would an application do with these methods ? If an application handles the beans only and not the full Torque objects, it has no chance whatsoever to react on the condition "the related object cache is not filled", because the bean has no access to the database and cannot fill the related objects cache istelf. Retrieving the related objects make sense only if one relies on the torque application to fill these fields, otherwise one would not call the method at all. And if a method is not called, why should it exist at all ? > Beans should not require torque.objectIsCaching = true setting to create all complexModel methods. > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: TORQUE-72 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TORQUE-72 > Project: Torque > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Generator > Affects Versions: 3.3 > Reporter: CG Monroe > Priority: Minor > > Record Objects generated with complexModel = true will include the get all associated FK records methods, e.g. > List books = author.getBooks() > regardless of the objectIsCaching setting. > Beans however, will NOT generate the get associated FK records methods unless objectIsCaching is true. > FWIW, the get related PK object methods are generated, e.g. > Author a = book.getAuthor(); > regardless of objectIsCaching. > The Bean template coding needs to be reviewed and fixed to generate code correctly. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com For additional commands, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com | |

TORONTO -- Toronto's mayor often takes on the media, but on Friday morning he'll face an even more intimidating opponent -- his "hero," Hulk Hogan.
Rob Ford says he "can't wait" to arm-wrestle Hulk Hogan in a friendly event.
The legendary shirt-ripping wrestler will be in town for Fan Expo, where he is set to hold an "uncensored" question-and-answer session on Friday evening.
But first, the 14-time world wrestling champion will arm-wrestle Toronto's mayor, Ford's spokesman announced on Twitter.
"The Hulkster...he's a good guy," Ford said Thursday. "(Hogan) has been my hero for a long time."
"When I was a little guy -- the wrestling and stuff -- it was good," Ford said.
Ford was asked about the event while at the Ontario legislature for the swearing-in ceremony of Doug Holyday, the former deputy mayor of Toronto who was recently elected as a provincial Progressive Conservative. Specifically, Ford was asked if he had seen a scene in the movie "Rocky III," in which Hogan fights Rocky.
"(If) he starts swinging, I'm going, man. I'm right out the door," Ford said, laughing. "I'm not going to sit there and take him on."
Fan Expo Canada runs Aug. 22 to Aug. 25 at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre.

Lourdes Castro Talks Latin Grilling at Books & Books Tonight
Biltmore Culinary Academy director and author, Lourdes Castro, will talk about her third cookbook, Latin Grilling, tonight at Books & Books in Coral Gables.
"I really love grilling. When you're up north and you don't have that luxury [year-round], you really appreciate it that much more, so I've been obsessed with grilling ever since I moved back to New York," she said.
The book is organized into 10 chapters covering various Latin American grill-centric feasts. You'll find Brazilian rodizio, Patagonian asado, a Cuban cookout, Chilean seafood cookout, and Nicaraguan ranch roast. Each chapter covers a complete meal with sides and sauces. Castro also includes a menu game plan to help you prepare everything involved in the menu.
"I kinda wanted it to be as if you had friends from Argentina, what would they make if they would be inviting you over?"
The book also has a section devoted to grilling basics and tips. Most recipes are written for a gas grill but Castro touches on charcoal grilling as well.
At tonight's event, Castro will chat with Miami Herald food critic Victoria Pesce Elliot about the book and Latin American cooking.
"We're not sure how [Victoria] is going to keep her identity hidden but she will," said Castro.
Start time is 8 p.m.

"Very Dull Narration"
A better reader.
'Symposium' - Plato
James Langton or Jonathan Cowley
The narrator reading the name of the speaker prior to each word or phrase was very distracting. Better readers are able to use different voices to clearly identify the speakers.
"Sad face!"
I liked the performance, and the dialogues. The dialogues did not start at the beginning of the chapter segments, so you cannot just skip to the particulars you wanted to hear; this was very disappointing! Change the recording format and you have a success.
"Not Complete Dialogues"
My Plato's Dialogues is 1500 pages. The intro on the audio says that this is only 150 pages. Perhaps it's "unabridged" but it is also "selected" and the summary should say so.
Every turn of chapter starts back a little bit as if to refresh the listener who has had to dig out the next cassette. There's a lot of other things that date the piece. There's a little bit of audible breathing in the back ground. It's not annoying but it's there. Overall still good.
"Next to Moses, the most important man in history"
Yes, and i bought the book for future reference. It is hard to imagine how western thought would have progressed without this influence of this man, his teacher Socrates, and his pupil, Aristotle and his pupil, Alexander the Great. This man, next to Moses and Christ changed the entire world's thought processes. Amazing.
The analysis of Socrates duty to the state. Magnificent.
This is a difficult work if it is not translated properly, and this was translated in such a way that everyone can understand and follow.
Understanding right and wrong, good and bad.
This should be mandatory reading for every person on the globe.
"I sat amongst great men."
Is how I felt as I listened to this. It was my first audio book but soon; everyone had their own voice and I could not but distinguish. A man died.
"Essential Read"
The collection of dialogues accounting for the trial and death of Socrates, along with the Republic and The Laws are essential reading when understanding one of Athen's greatest political authors: Plato.

hi all, i have a concern about mirroring,i want to setup mirroring in a way that it will never bring the principal database downin other words principal database should never in a state called 'cannot server a database'to achieve this , i am planning to set up mirroring in high perofrmance mode,with only forced failover( i assume this is only the mode of failover possible in high performance mode)now my question is is there an instance or ever in hight performance modethat could lead to the principal database state in 'cannot server the database'please throw some ideasthanks,lara
What kind of database size you are handlin with DB mirroring? What is the transaction size in any time, larger & smaller?
Create the mirror database by restoring with NORECOVERY a recent full database backup of the principal database. Make right that the arch database was already application the much recovery method if the backup was taken. To authorize a database mirroring session and to changing the properties of database mirroring for a database, use the Mirroring page of the Database Properties dialog box.

At the first election held, but six votes were cast, and William Showers was elected justice. On the formation of Keyser township, in June, 1876, twelve sections were taken from its southern side, reducing the township to twenty-four sections. |

Bulk IDN Search
What are IDN Domains?
Internationalized Domain Names (IDNs) are domain names that use characters other than the letters A-Z from the Latin alphabet. These types of domain names contain non-ASCII characters such as Chinese, Arabic, or Russian. IDN domains allow international accessibility of the Internet by allowing users to register domain names in their own language and character set.
Dynadot was one of the first domain registrars to offer international domains and we have over 30 top-level domain (TLD) extensions that support IDNs in a variety of languages.
Why Register IDN Domains?
Although the Internet was founded on the English language, only 10% of the world's population are native English speakers. The most spoken language in the world today is Chinese, which uses a completely different character set than the Latin alphabet that English uses. Imagine trying to access the Internet, but being unable to read or write English and having to type in foreign characters to access websites. International domains are the solution to this problem.
As of 2012, over 70% of the world's Internet users were non-English speakers. As Internet usage rises around the world, that number will likely grow, making international domains a big opportunity. Registering your international domain is the best way to connect with a non-English speaking audience because not only will your website be in their native language, but your domain will be too.
For more information about International Domain Names (IDNs), check out our IDN FAQs and the IDN section in our help files.

One of the key criticisms levelled at connected TVs is the fact that the user experience is not 'joined up'.
The focus of the recent IP&TV World Forum in London was the continuing improvement of already existing concepts, in particular the user experience. It is pointless having lots of content if no one can find it In 2009, we highlighted the growing importance of content recommendation in a world where pay-TV subscribers are faced with an increasing number of digital TV channels and expanding libraries of on-demand content. However, it wasn't until recently that most pay-TV operators began to take this issue seriously. Just before the event, Orange announced that it had migrated 400 000 of its IPTV subscribers to 'la nouvelle TV d'Orange', a unified service platform that incorporates Orca Interactive's COMPASS content discovery solution. COMPASS presents pay-TV subscribers with a personalised catalogue of content drawn from the operator's repertoire of linear programming and on-demand content on multiple devices, such as TVs, smartphones, PCs and tablets. Orange eventually plans to move all of its more than five million European pay-TV subscribers to the new platform. Figure 1: Orca Interactive's COMPASS solution on the iPad [Source: Orca Interactive, 2012] UK cable operator Virgin Media introduced its 'Virgin Media TV powered by TiVo' service in December 2010, featuring a TiVo DVR with built-in content-recommendation capabilities. The new premium service has been a success so far, reaching 12% of the operator's pay-TV subscriber base by December 2011. Orca's competitor ContentWise (another early entrant in this space) was also present at the event. Italian operator FASTWEB has used ContentWise's solution for video-on-demand (VoD) content since late 2008. On average, a sale follows 20% of ContentWise's recommendations, resulting in a 15% increase in the sales of video-on-demand (VoD) content since the service was launched.1 The emergence of connected TVs is also leading to an increase in the amount of content available to free-to-air (FTA) viewers. However, one of the key criticisms levelled at connected TVs is the fact that the user experience is not 'joined up' – Internet-delivered content remains separate from linear programming, because it is accessed through widgets on multiple screens. Connect TV, a start-up company, has sought to address this by creating a new platform for the UK's digital terrestrial TV (DTT) service Freeview, which makes channels streamed over the Internet accessible through the standard Freeview electronic programme guide (EPG) on broadband-connected Freeview high-definition (HD) devices. A mix of more than 40 free and paid-for channels are available through Connect TV, including foreign and special-interest channels. Social TV is more than getting Facebook onto a TV set Social TV has increasingly attracted attention in the last couple of years. Although some of the early incarnations consist of overlaying popular services such as Facebook and Twitter on the TV screen, there are far better ways to bring the social dimension to TV viewers. Content recommendation solutions are increasingly taking socially recommended content into account, and some, such as COMPASS, enable viewers to 'gift' content to their friends in some circumstances. One of the more interesting implementations of social TV that we saw at the event was from Comigo, an Israeli start-up company. Comigo has developed a platform for connected multi-screen services, which includes an Android-powered hybrid set-top box as well as client applications for Android and Apple iOS devices. Its application WatchApp is an overlay on top of the video content and enables a viewer to throw a virtual tomato at his screen, and for it to be seen reaching its target by a friend on another screen. The journey towards TV services that are more personalised, interactive and engaging has only just begun, and we will be monitoring further developments within our Fixed Broadband research programme. 1 ContentWise (March 2010).

- The left margin would have a description of a task or goal,
- The middle column would have a top description of what the business does to market itself with large check boxes underneath
- The next column should look like the first with the exception of the header reading "Your Competition"
- To the right of each [url removed, login to view] the last column would be large check boxes already filled out with a description of what my company can do.
I want to be able to edit this after creation in Photoshop.
The appearance should not be too flashy/web 2.0. Let's not have any glossy icons or Apple iPhone icons. A solid look with a eye toward smart typography like HVD or Sudtipos which I can supply. If there is any flash or movement it should be provided by the text.

Without question, in 1954 Swanson became the first to produce frozen complete meals called 'TV Dinners' and successfully market them to the American public in 1954.
However there were several similar offerings before Swanson's:
The differences are:
1) Swanson came up with the name 'TV Dinner'
2) As a well known company they were the first to successfully market and sell the dinners nationally.
Like many creations, the story of the development of the TV dinner is not straightforward. Many people and companies played a role in the development of the concept of a complete meal that needed only to be reheated before eating. The invention of the TV dinner has been attributed to at least three different sources, primarily Gerry Thomas, the Swanson Brothers, and Maxson Food Systems, Inc.
Maxson Food Systems, Inc. manufactured the earliest complete frozen meal in 1945. Maxson manufactured "Strato-Plates" – complete meals that were reheated on the plane for military and civilian airplane passengers. The meals consisted of a basic three-part equation of meat, vegetable and potato, each housed in its own separate compartment on a plastic plate. However, due to financial reasons and the death of their founder, Maxson frozen meals never went to the retail market. Some feel that Maxson's product does not qualify as a true TV dinner, since it was consumed on an airplane rather than in the consumer's home.
Following in the footsteps of Maxson Foods Systems was Jack Fisher's FridgiDinners. In the late 1940's FridgiDinners sold frozen dinners to bars and taverns. Frozen dinners did not take off, however, until the Bernstein brothers came on the scene.
In 1949, Albert and Meyer Bernstein organized Frozen Dinners, Inc., which packaged frozen dinners on aluminum trays with three compartments. They sold them under the One-Eyed Eskimo label, and only to markets in the Pittsburgh area. By 1950, the company had produced over 400,000 frozen dinners. Demand continued to grow, and in 1952 the Bernstein brothers formed the Quaker State Food Corporation. They expanded distribution to markets east of the Mississippi. By 1954, Quaker State Foods had produced and sold over 2,500,000 frozen dinners!
The concept really took hold in 1954 when Swanson's frozen meals appeared. Swanson was a well-known brand that consumers recognized, and Swanson launched a massive advertising campaign for their product. They also coined the phrase TV Dinner, which helped to transform their frozen meals into a cultural icon.
But this is where different stories begin to emerge. Until recently, the most widely credited individual inventor of the TV dinner was Gerry Thomas, a salesman for C.A. Swanson & Son in 1953. For example, the American Frozen Food Institute honored him in their "Frozen Food Hall of Fame" as the inventor of the TV dinner. However, his role as the inventor is now being disputed.
Conversely, Betty Cronin, a bacteriologist who was also working for the Swanson brothers at that time, asserts that it was the Swanson brothers themselves, Gilbert and Clarke Swanson, who came up with the concept of the TV dinner, while their marketing and advertising teams developed the name and design of the product. Cronin also worked on the project, taking on the technical challenge of composing a dinner in which all the ingredients took the same amount of time to cook, also called synchronization.
So who really invented the TV dinner? It depends on your definition. ONE THING IS FOR SURE, THOUGH: the first company to use the name and successfully market the TV Dinner was SWANSON.

Writing about a dog's life
"I was born on an empty lot at Chacao, a neighborhood in the city of Caracas, Venezuela. I don't know the exact date and time but the year is not worth remembering."
So begins the story of Bonita Sanclair, the street dog that's at the center of a new, 90-page book by Bertha López Giraldo titled "The Silence of the Dogs."
Born in Colombia, López Giraldo has also lived in Venezuela. She moved to Wisconsin about six years ago and has lived in La Crosse and now in Milwaukee.
A poet and writer, she said she discovered Bonita when the dog wandered by her shop in Caracas years ago and eventually became part of her family.
The book, written in Bonita's voice, tells the story of the dog's life and her travels with López Giraldo to Bogota, Chicago, Miami and Wisconsin.
López Giraldo said she wrote the book — available in Spanish and English -- because of her love of dogs and people who love dogs.
Bonita died two years ago.
Today, López Giraldo she said she doesn't have a dog. "But I have a very intelligent cat."

Will using a VPN protect me against fake wireless hotspots?
Learn how to avoid data theft from phishing or connecting to a fake hotspot, by using a VPN, and various other secure browsing techniques, from our expert Lisa Phifer.

Before logging into any Wi-Fi hotspot, try to check the hotspot's credentials. If WPA/WPA2-protected access is available (e.g., tmobile1x), configure your Wi-Fi client to validate the server's certificate. If you frequent hotspots which use a connection manager (e.g., Boingo), those programs provide server validation on your behalf. Otherwise, eyeball the hotspot login page before entering your password or credit card number. Check for SSL protection (that is, a URL starting with https) and look for browser warnings about the SSL server's certificate. If a hotspot login page triggers browser warnings (or mental alarm bells), don't ignore them.
Once connected to a Wi-Fi hotspot, try to use only mutually-authenticated, end-to-end encrypted sessions. If you're only browsing public websites, you might opt to go skinny-dipping – but keep in mind that the websites you visit could be faked by a phony hotspot which returns a copy of the real deal, modified to contain malicious scripts or phishing URLs. For this reason, it's safer to send all hotspot traffic – sensitive or not – over secure sessions.
For example, when checking email, try to configure your email client to send POP and SMTP over TLS. Today, many email servers support or require TLS to prevent disclosure of email logins, passwords, and message content. Email clients configured to require TLS will validate the email server's certificate and either refuse a session to a phony server or alert you to a problem with the server's certificate. Here again, don't simply ignore email client warnings or make TLS optional.

Learn how to navigate wireless hot spots securely in this podcast: Wireless hotspot security. |
Finally, combine SSL/TLS or VPN tunneling with a host firewall that prevents unwanted traffic from leaking in or out of your Wi-Fi client. In Wi-Fi hotspots, a common mistake is to leak LAN broadcast traffic – especially NetBIOS file/printer sharing messages. Today, many commercial hotspots block inter-client traffic to neutralize this risk. However, if you've connected to a fake AP or Ad Hoc, you can't depend on the hotspot to protect you. If you take these basic steps to defend yourself, then you won't have to worry about the possibility of encountering a fake hotspot AP.

No-Bake Peanut Butter Ritz Bars
Did you ever have a favorite candy growing up? For me, I loved Reeses' peanut butter cups. My way of eating them was to try and nibble off all the chocolate on the outside leaving the peanut buttery center for last.
The thing is though, that candy these days is a lot more expensive. I mean, do I really want to pay $1.50 for TWO peanut butter cups? Um, no. So, I loved it when I found this recipe on Six Sisters' Stuff where you can make a whole batch of them for a whole lot cheaper. I'm in!!! My change to the recipe, though, was that I decided to use Ritz cracker crumbs instead of graham cracker crumbs. I'm not sure if the Ritz crackers made a difference, but they sure were good! They taste exactly like Reeses' peanut butter cups and that's saying something. No more buying them from the store for me. Give me a panful of these any day!
By the way, stay tuned for next week when I show you how I took these bars to a whole different level of yum.
No-Bake Peanut Butter Ritz Bars (adapted from Six Sisters' Stuff)
1 c. butter, melted
2 c. Ritz cracker crumbs
2 c. powdered sugar
1 c. peanut butter
1 1/2 c. semisweet chocolate chips
Mix together the melted butter, cracker crumbs, powdered sugar, and peanut butter until well blended. Press evenly into the bottom of an ungreased 9x13 pan (or a 9x9 inch pan for thicker bars). Melt the chocolate chips and spread over the peanut butter layer. Chill for 1 hour before cutting into squares.

The elder child continues to believe the slanderous gossip about Jesus and holds a grudge against his returning wayward sibling. No welcome mat at home from the brother! The loving, forgiving Father embodies the gossip about Jesus that is the gospel. No matter what his child has done or been, the Father reaches out with a welcoming embrace. Forgiveness opens the door to welcome him—and us—home. Here we see the ministry of reconciliation meant for the whole world. The Spanish translation for this welcome home party is "fiesta." What a wonderful image for the homecoming party every Sunday at the Lord's Table. Mariachi music and dancing. Colorful pi४atas. A festive meal. Words of welcome and grace. The sharing of the peace and reconciliation. The repentant son may have thought he should get six months of probation. However, the joyful Father felt like having a fiesta to welcome all his prodigals home. And so the fiesta began.
Father, dare we come home? We give you thanks that with open, welcoming arms you ignore the gossip about us and restore us to the company of saints and sinners. Amen.
Mons TeigProfessor Emeritus of Worship, Luther Seminary Master of Divinity , 1961
3 So he told them this parable: 11 Then Jesus said, "There was a man who had two sons. 12"The younger of them said to his father, 'Father, give me the share of the property that will belong to me.' So he divided his property between them. 13 "A few days later the younger son gathered all he had and traveled to a distant country, and there he squandered his property in dissolute living. 14 "When he had spent everything, a severe famine took place throughout that country, and he began to be in need. 15 "So he went and hired himself out to one of the citizens of that country, who sent him to his fields to feed the pigs. 16 "He would gladly have filled himself with the pods that the pigs were eating; and no one gave him anything. 17 "But when he came to himself he said, 'How many of my father's hired hands have bread enough and to spare, but here I am dying of hunger! 18 "'I will get up and go to my father, and I will say to him, "Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you; 19 "'I am no longer worthy to be called your son; treat me like one of your hired hands."' 20 "So he set off and went to his father. But while he was still far off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion; he ran and put his arms around him and kissed him. 21 "Then the son said to him, 'Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you; I am no longer worthy to be called your son.' 22 "But the father said to his slaves, 'Quickly, bring out a robe--the best one--and put it on him; put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. 23 "'And get the fatted calf and kill it, and let us eat and celebrate; 24 "'for this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found!' And they began to celebrate. 25 "Now his elder son was in the field; and when he came and approached the house, he heard music and dancing. 26 "He called one of the slaves and asked what was going on. 27 "He replied, 'Your brother has come, and your father has killed the fatted calf, because he has got him back safe and sound.' 28 "Then he became angry and refused to go in. His father came out and began to plead with him. 29 "But he answered his father, 'Listen! For all these years I have been working like a slave for you, and I have never disobeyed your command; yet you have never given me even a young goat so that I might celebrate with my friends. 30 "'But when this son of yours came back, who has devoured your property with prostitutes, you killed the fatted calf for him!' 31 "Then the father said to him, 'Son, you are always with me, and all that is mine is yours. 32 "'But we had to celebrate and rejoice, because this brother of yours was dead and has come to life; he was lost and has been found.'"

"24: Live Another Day" just added a new face to its ranks, and the role contains a major spoiler.
Tate Donovan has joined the FOX reboot miniseries as the White House Chief of Staff Mark Boudreau. But his position isn't the spoiler … it's his spouse.
Boudreau — an astute and strong-willed political advisor — is married to President James Heller's (William Devane) daughter, Audrey Raines (Kim Raver), a.k.a. Jack Bauer's (Kiefer Sutherland) former flame. We sense some awkward moments ahead.
Of course, Jack Bauer has a few other things higher on his priority list to worry about, like the fact that in "24: Live Another Day," he is an exile being tracked by CIA operations head Steve Harris (Benjamin Bratt), agent Kate Morgan (Yvonne Strahovski), computer tech Jordan Reed (Giles Matthey) and field operative Erik Ritter (Gbenga Akinnagbe). Plus, he's at odds with his trusty sidekick Chloe O'Brian (Mary Lynn Rajskub).
"24: Live Another Day" kicks off with a two-hour premiere on Monday, May 5 at 8 p.m. ET on FOX.

No, it's not the mythical Loch Ness monster, but 170 million years ago Dearcmhara shawcrossi prowled the warm coastal waters of Scotland in pursuit of fish and other reptiles. Scientists announced the discovery of the previously unknown prehistoric marine reptile in the Scottish Journal of Geology today. An artist's depiction shows a dolphin-like creature measuring about 14 feet from snout to tail that lived during the Jurassic Period. It's a moderate-sized ichthyosaur, the dominant marine reptiles that lived in the time of dinosaurs. They were around for 150 million years, until they disappeared about 95 million years ago. This discovery fills in some of the information of the Early-to-Middle Jurassic timeline that has proven hard to crack for paleontologists.

Scottish citizens awoke today — if they ever went to bed at all — to the news that their country will remain part of the United Kingdom.

Subject | RE: Remote deployment on JRun |
Date | Thu, 08 May 2003 22:14:34 GMT |
I strongly urge against JRun 4. Our company spent six months of unsuccessful efforts to port a series of web applications to JRun 4 without full success. I would look instead for an open-source container like Tomcat or JBoss. These beasts are too complicated and NOBODY documents them well, but at least with an open-source container, when all else fails, you have to source code. However, if you must go forward, do get the Service Packs. They do fix some serious bugs. -----Original Message----- From: Rahul [mailto:email@example.com] Sent: Thursday, May 08, 2003 4:56 PM To: 'Ant Users List' Subject: Remote deployment on JRun Hello All, I have this strong uge to automate my manual web application deployment process on a remote JRun 4 (no service packs) server running on Linux. Would want to know if anyone has attempted that or anyone has suggestions. To cut the long story short and simple, what I do right now is as follows : 1. Connect to remote system via ssh. 2. If instance of target server is running , stop it. 3. back up my current <web-app> directory 4. export "base" stuff from CVS into a fresh <web-app> directory. this creates the base/groundwork for my actual web application. 5. now, export updated weba-application stuff from CVS into a another directory. 6. copy the stuff exported to directory in Step 5. to directory in Step 6 5. restart server. Apart from that I WISH that I can create JRun servers remotely but I will keep that wish in my bag for the moment ;) Ok, the question here is do i need to work with any of the JMX stuff here to do stuff with JRun , i mean create servers, stop and restart. Any tasks for JMX?. Any tasks around for SSH ? cheers rahul >:0) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com For additional commands, e-mail: email@example.com | |

The Horse Forum
- Horse Pictures
- - My little herd
My little herd Thought I'd officially introduce everyone. First is Stella. I discovered an online ad for her and had to meet her. I was very shocked when we went to see her. She was in a very small dirt lot with 3 other horses and she was quite emaciated. Her previous owners made her out to be this wild, hard to handle lunatic, but she had the kindest eyes and I knew right away we had to get her out of there. Here's how she looked the day I brought her home: http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u...ewhorse006.jpg Couple days later: http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u...ewhorse011.jpg http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u...ewhorse013.jpg This was just 4 weeks later: http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u.../stella005.jpg http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u.../stella004.jpg And here she is today all fat and happy: http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u...aJuly08006.jpg http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u...aJuly08003.jpg http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u...aJuly08007.jpg I'll add the other two horses later. :D |
13 Attachment(s) They are so cute. Thanks for introducing us to them!!! :) |
Umm, all the pics are of the same horse! :lol: And I don't know why the one picture is so big, grrrr! |
Very cute horses! |
Very cute and she looks like a completely different horse. You've done so well with her, can't wait to see your other horse :) |
Thank you Supermane for looking at them. :wink: It's been a very rewarding experience getting her to where she is now. Now, before I post pics of my other two, I better ask if it's okay to post photos of my filly's birth...so, is it okay? |
what a wonderful job you did with her, she looks fabulous and very happy! i would love to see the birth of your foal |
Thanks Kirsti! I double checked the HF guidelines so I don't think I'm breaking any rules. I hope I don't gross anyone out either! Okay, so next is Luna. My parents own her dam (Ruby) whom we were told is a haflinger, but I posted in Horse Breeds questioning that and the general consensus is that she is a Belgian cross. But I do know she was bred to a standardbred and you can definitely see that in Luna. My parents bought Ruby from an Amish farm near our place and because she was close to foaling we kept her until she foaled and our oldest daughter and I were able to witness her birth. I don't think either of us will ever forget that. There are too many pics, so I'll just post the highlights: http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u...foaling004.jpg http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u...foaling006.jpg Ruby nickered to Luna here and it was the most precious thing: http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u...foaling008.jpg Here she is at five days (check out those ears!): http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u...um/Luna028.jpg Four months old: http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u.../horses004.jpg http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u.../luna003-1.jpg In her winter woolies: http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u.../horses007.jpg And now as a yearling (when the sun hits her just right she's very red): http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u...aJuly08004.jpg http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u...aJuly08008.jpg http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u...uly08005-1.jpg |
ya made my day!!! absolutely wonderful and what a gorgeous baby!!! birth is fabulous and especialy when you get something so beautiful! nothing gross about it-thank you for sharing that. I got to watch my neices colt Dalton being born-she video'd the whole thing and emailed it to me-you can see him under the ugly horse thread in pictures. |
Last, but not least, is our fat boy, Ogre. He's our three girls' pony, but I like to drive him. Don't let his name fool you, he's a sweet boy! http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u.../horses006.jpg http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u.../Ogre08001.jpg http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u...4-29-07002.jpg http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u.../Ogre08002.jpg http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u...album/ogre.jpg |

Getting There
Nichol's Landing (Spect's crossing)
Alternate Put-in/Take-out:
FM 311 crossing
Final Take-out:
Rebecca Creek crossing
The put-in for this paddling trail is located on Old Spring Branch Road, just 3 miles west of Hwy 281 N, off Spring Branch Road. You can take-out at the FM 311 crossing, 2 miles southeast of Spring Branch. The last public access site above the Canyon Reservoir is at the Rebecca Creek crossing. Go about 3 miles east on Rebecca Creek Road off Hwy 281.
Parking for shuttle vehicles at the FM 311 and Rebecca Creek crossing water access points is free of charge, but be prepared to walk uphill to the parking area. Access to the Nichol's Landing site is free except on weekends and major holidays from Memorial Day through Labor Day. On those days parking and access costs $3/car for Comal County residents and $5/car for others. Fees are used to maintain the access point.
Distance from nearest major cities:
- New Braunfels – 25 miles
- San Marcos – 35 miles
- San Antonio – 36 miles
- Seguin – 40 miles
- Luling – 61 miles
- Austin – 64 miles
- Kerrville – 64 miles
- Georgetown – 94 miles
- Goliad – 127 miles
- Columbus – 128 miles
- Houston – 224 miles
- Dallas – 262 miles
Trail Description and Landmarks
Trail Length: ~9.9 miles
Float Time: ~3-6 hours (depending on water levels and flow rates)
Please note: Alternate take-out at F.M> 311 is located 5.4 miles from Nichol's Landing.
There are a number of rapids on the 10 mile stretch that demand careful inspection. Approximately 1.5 miles below FM 311 crossing a chute to the left of the island at Mueller Falls creates an exciting fast water run. About 5 miles below FM 311, a chute to the left of Rust falls provides another exciting passageway. Hazardous areas can be portaged. Except during extreme droughts, there is always sufficient water for recreational use. This rugged Hill Country river is known for clear-flowing waters and its extremely scenic beauty.
This section of the river supports Guadalupe, black, white, largemouth and smallmouth bass, gar, crappie, carp, stripers, and a variety of sunfish and catfish. Small lures such as jigs, plastic worms, spinner baits and light line are recommended.
Wildlife and Ecology
The high limestone bluffs, rugged shelves and boulders, giant bald cypress, pecan, cottonwood, oak, elm, and palmetto trees, and wide variety of shrubs and vines lining the river provide diverse habitat for deer, armadillos, raccoons, foxes, and squirrels. River beavers have also been sighted here. It is not unusual to see livestock watering in the river.
Private Property
Respect private property by not trespassing or littering and keeping noise levels down. This river is classified as navigable, which permits public use of the streambed and, if necessary, the banks to portage any hazard. Any other use of private river banks without permission of the landowner can be considered trespassing. Under Texas Penal Code (§30.05), criminal trespass occurs when one enters property after receiving notice not to enter. Notice includes verbal notice, a fence, sign(s), purple paint on posts or trees, or the visible presence of crops grown for human consumption.
Area Attractions
For more information please see the TPWD Paddling Events calendar.
Canyon Dam
Completed in 1966, the dam was built jointly by the United States Army Corps of Engineers and the Guadalupe Blanco River Authority as a means for flood and drought management. The dam is 6,830 feet long and sits 224 feet above the stream bed. The Vereda Real is a popular 6K walking and jogging path across the top of the dam with panoramic lake views and picnic tables nearby. www.swf-wc.usace.army.mil/canyon
Guadalupe River State Park
Located along the boundary of Kendall/Comal counties, the park has 4 miles of river frontage and offers a variety of outdoor activities including canoeing, fishing, swimming, hiking, and camping. www.tpwd.state.tx.us/guadaluperiver
Canyon Lake Gorge
In July of 2002, Texas received almost a year's worth of rain in a two week period. Water rushed over the spillway and washed out the south access road and destroyed 800 homes. The waters created a scenic gorge that the Guadalupe Blanco River Authority and Gorge Preservation Society intend to develop as an educational resource.
Heritage Museum of the Texas Hill Country
The museum has displays on: Native American Artifacts, Early Pioneers including Farm Machinery, the Canyon Dam History, Fossils, Gift Shop, open air picnic area, and the Heritage Garden Trail of native Texas plants. The museum is also the site of dinosaur tracks that is probably the most prolific site in Texas, in terms of number. These tracks were made during the deposition of the upper part of the Glen Rose Formation roughly 100 million years ago. www.theheritagemuseum.com
This trail was made possible through a partnership with the Water Oriented Recreation District of Comal County, Canyon Lake Chamber of Commerce, Alamo City Rivermen, Texas Rivers Protection Association, Guadalupe Blanco River Authority, and Texas Parks and Wildlife Department.
