It looked as if all of Hollywood was turning out for the occasion just as Jack L. Warner had predicted. "Beyond question," the venerable studio head had declared to the press, "it will be the largest turnout of stars and personalities from motion pictures, television, radio, recording and civic life ever to assemble for an occasion related to the entertainment industry." A really bold claim to be sure, but as each shiny black limousine disgorged yet another world famous face it looked as if Warner hadn't been exaggerating. Jimmy Stewart was there. So was Walt Disney, Gregory Peck, Lana Turner, Karl Malden, Gene Autry, Jack Webb, Shirley Booth, Rosalind Russell and a host of other world renowned celebrities. Even some of the greats of yesteryear made an appearance with such legendary figures as Mary Pickford, Gloria Swanson, Francis X. Bushman and Ramon Novarro all thrilling an enthusiastic crowd of some 6,000 excited movie fans who roared their approval from specially-built bleachers lining the stretch of Highland Avenue across from the Hollywood Bowl on that sunny October day in 1963. The star-studded event had all the glitz and ballyhoo of a major Hollywood premiere, which in a way it was. The production being celebrated, however, was not a movie, but rather a building – a museum to be exact – a museum for Hollywood. And as the huge throngs attested, this was going to be no glorified warehouse of art or furniture. This was to be the most unique museum ever conceived, a sort of Disneyland meets the Smithsonian promising something to please everyone from the casual tourist to the serious film scholar.
The new venture, which was officially to be known as the Hollywood Motion Picture and Television Museum, was intended to be a shining example of how government and private enterprise could work together with private donations funding construction of the Museum itself and the County providing the land upon which it was to be sited. Upon completion, the museum would be County-owned but leased to a non-profit organization established for the purpose, which would physically manage the facility for a period of years. As for spearheading this big civic project, L.A. County turned to veteran Hollywood producer Sol Lesser. Best known for producing the 1940 film version of Our Town as well as a popular and long-running series of Tarzan pictures, Lesser seemed like a perfect choice for the job, a Hollywood insider with stellar connections and an infectiously boyish enthusiasm for the project that belied his 70+ years. Retiring from active production in 1958, Lesser threw himself body and soul into the project, giving his time, expertise and even some of his own money to the venture and no doubt envisioning the long-discussed, long dreamed of museum as the crowning achievement of his long career
And what a legacy it would be! Hollywood's new Motion Picture and Television Museum was poised to be as spectacular as any of the movies it would showcase and honor. No dusty repository of antiques here – a living, vibrant and exciting venue, a thrill a minute for the millions of lucky visitors who would surely flock from all parts of the globe to see this wonderland each and every year. The show would start on the sidewalk with tickets purchased from none other than animatronic Clark Gables or Marlene Dietrichs and from there, according to William Pereira, architect of the new museum, visitors would "step into a world of illusion." Their first view would be an awe-inspiring four-story exhibit space where they would wander through a "television forest" and then be whisked up by a giant lift and find themselves back in Imperial Rome where they would stand as part of the throngs hearing Marc Anthony giving his famous oration. Descending a winding staircase the history of the development of electronic communication would unfold before them. If they are hungry they may dine on the Via Veneto, the Kasbah or even a full scale recreation of the Hollywood Canteen. A 600-seat theater would showcase films of all types. Television programs would be viewed from television screens that would descend from the ceiling. Not only could they view current and classic films and television shows they could actually watch them being made while sitting in glassed in booths in one of the two active sound stages on the property. All around them, visitors would be treated to a series of revolving and permanent exhibits showcasing the stunning multi-million dollar collection the Museum had already amassed including not only thousands of props and costumes, but complete sets from famous films as well. An Oscar and Emmy Sanctum was sure to be a hit as would be the priceless collection of early cinematic devices donated by Beverly Hills financier Bart Lytton.
While it might be all "Lights! Camera! Action!" as Sol Lesser proudly declared, the museum's boosters took great pains to make clear it would be equally dedicated as a place for education, serious study and scholarly research. In fact, an entirely separate tower building was incorporated into the design exclusively for this purpose with space for libraries, offices, film vaults and storage rooms. The museum would surely need this space. It had already gotten pledges to receive both the entire Cecil B. De Mille and Mary Pickford collections, a huge coup indeed as well as the personal collections of pioneer filmmakers Jesse Lasky and Carl Laemmle of Universal and no doubt many more to follow. Another giant acquisition for the museum was the pledge of 20th Century Fox's mammoth collection of 1.8 million still photographs. And this was just the start. The museum's acquisitions committee was constantly searching for and receiving pledges for other collections from around the world of important items related to the history of the modern entertainment industry. And by the museum's standard the "entertainment industry" was intended to encompass not only motion pictures and television, but the radio and recording industries as well. The idea of a single museum, no matter how big, giving equal time to showcasing the history and continuing development of the movies, television, radio and the music industry from birth to today and on to tomorrow all under one roof seemed like an extremely ambitious one and in the minds of some way too ambitious for just one entity to handle. These people saw it as a four-headed hydra with each head demanding equal attention all at once. How would or could such a thing be accommodated? And then there were concerns over the true costs of the project, big concerns over whether the venture would be financially self sustaining as supporters claimed or a financial drain on County resources as detractors feared.
But those negative thoughts were banished to the hinterlands for the moment as 11 year-old Richard Powell, son of the late great Dick Powell, ceremoniously turned the first spadeful of earth on the project to the accompanying cheers of thousands in the appreciative crowd. For so many that symbolic shovel of dirt represented the culmination of a dream, a long held desire to see Hollywood with a museum all its own that honored and celebrated the new yet exceedingly rich history of the movies. As early as 1940 ideas had been floated about to convert such sites as the former Trocadero or the old Warner Brothers Studio on Sunset into just such a museum, but these proposals never advanced past the drawing board and disappointment followed disappointment. Time and again, the idea was revived, cheered and encouraged only to have it undone by one thing or another. It seemed to many that a Hollywood museum was jinxed. But now, with that spadeful of earth the long deferred dream was now finally becoming a reality. There was nothing standing in the way to keep this museum from happening. That is, except maybe for the man glaring balefully out the window from the old house on the hill.
The man in the window felt he had every reason to glare. To him this was no celebration of a grand new civic project, but a provocation for an all out war. Here they were, the Barbarians at his very gate and he knew exactly what all this hoopla meant. It meant the coming destruction of everything he held near and dear. But if they thought he'd slink away quietly they'd better think again. Steve Anthony had never shied away from a fight in his life and he wasn't about to now. A pugnacious ex-Marine turned Hollywood bartender, Anthony had been living a peaceful and quiet existence in the little cottage on the hill with his growing family for some years now. That was until the Hollywood Museum project came in and decimated virtually everything in sight in the name of "progress." Just two years earlier, this had been a quaint and vibrant old Hollywood neighborhood filled with cute little Spanish bungalows and English cottages where famous stars of days gone by had once lived. People like Francis X. Bushman, Donald Crisp and even Strongheart the Wonder Dog had called it home. Anthony's own place had the biggest star association of all – none other than Bette Davis – who had made 6655 Alta Loma Terrace her very first Hollywood residence in 1930. "It was the sweetest house I had ever seen in my life," remembered Davis fondly. No small compliment considering the literally dozens of homes the peripatetic Davis moved in and out of during her long career in the film capital. It was indeed quite a little charmer. Built in 1923 to the plans of local architect Ray G. Smith, the cottage at 6655 Alta Loma Terrace was Cotswold by way of Walt Disney. A movieland home in the truest sense of the word, it was said that set pieces from Rex Ingram's 1922 production of The Prisoner of Zenda had been incorporated directly into the home's design. The cottage had been built for cinematographer and future Broadway producer Gordon Pollock, perhaps best remembered today for his work with Erich Von Stroheim on the disastrous Queen Kelly (1928) and Charlie Chaplin on City Lights (1931). It had been the Pollocks who had rented their house to the newly arrived Bette Davis and her mother Ruthie and some twenty-five years later to Steve and Elona Anthony.
During his time on Alta Loma, Anthony had hit it off quite well with his landlord, helping the older man out in various ways especially during Pollock's recovery from a stroke. After Pollock and his wife were killed in a plane crash over Lake Eire in 1956, Anthony discovered his kindnesses had not been forgotten with Pollock willing him half ownership in the house. Anthony knew how much Pollock had loved the house on Alta Loma and his generous gift only strengthened his resolve to save it. And had it not been for Steve Anthony, it would have already met the same fate as the fifteen other homes surrounding it – bulldozed into oblivion in the name of progress under condemnation through Eminent Domain. Anthony had been the sole holdout, refusing the $11,000 offered for his share of the house, forcing the County to go through lengthy legal proceedings to forcibly evict him. And forcibly it would have to be for the Anthonys had no intention of going voluntarily. The stage was set for what was to become known as "The Siege of Fort Anthony."
Stay tuned for the exciting continuation of the "The Siege of Fort Anthony" coming to a blog near you.

Parkinson's Central by National Parkinson Foundation, Inc. is an app meant to bring information to those living with Parkinson's Disease, or to those who are living with someone with PD. It is designed to answer any questions you may have regarding the disease, its treatment, and more.
Parkinson's Central
Parkinson's Disease affects the motor system and comes as a result of the loss of those brain cells that produce dopamine. People with PD can suffer from stiffness in the limbs, rigidity, tremor, impaired balance, and brandykinesia. People with a more advanced stage of Parkinson's may have trouble carrying out simple tasks, talking, and walking. I'm not sure that someone with advanced PD would be able to use this app (considering fine motor control goes out the window), but people who are still able to operate an iPhone or iPad would have no trouble.
The app itself is very easy to use. It's full of information for patients and caregivers, and has nine brightly colored icons on the home page to help you navigate. There are no tiny tabs to press, and each category's icon has a text description underneath. Some people might have trouble with the buttons; I imagine that some users might wish for bigger buttons.
You can choose from About PD, Symptoms, Treatment, Doctor Visits, Living Well, Research, Index, About NPF, and Near Me for navigation. Along the very bottom of the page you'll see six tabs: one each for Facebook, Twitter, email, phone, and YouTube. These will help you connect with the National Parkinson Foundation with your choice of platform.
I clicked on the YouTube tab to see what kind of videos were available and once I clicked Home to try to go back to the main part of the app it took quite a while to load. Other parts of the app are somewhat slow to load as well; not terribly slow, but slower than you would expect.
Overall I think this is a really valuable resource for people with Parkinson's, their caregivers, and their family members. The app is simple to navigate, is chock-full of fantastic information, and it's free! If you or someone you love has Parkinson's Disease, you should definitely check out this app.

Baghdad Burning, by a 26-year-old author who has won an international readership under the pen name Riverbend, is longlisted for the £30,000 Samuel Johnson award. In the list, announced today, she is up against 18 other books including Alan Bennett's latest bestseller, histories of the cold war and the great wall of China, and a biography of the 19th-century cookbook author Mrs Beeton. The Guardian carried an extract from Riverbend's title last summer.
The small literary publisher Marion Boyars brought out Baghdad Burning last year, classifying it under biography and memoir. The publishing house says it knows Riverbend's identity but respects her wish to remain anonymous.
It has already come third in the Lettre Ulysses prize for Reportage, winning £14,000, and was shortlisted for an Index on Censorship freedom of expression award.
Riverbend began the blog with the words: "I'm female, Iraqi and 24. I survived the war. That's all you need to know. It's all that matters these days anyway."
University-educated Riverbend worked as a computer programmer before the invasion which began on March 20, 2003.
She lost her job, she told her readers, when it became too dangerous for Iraqi women to travel to work alone.

Rain caused some problems in the San Francisco Bay Area Friday into Saturday morning including the lost of power to thousands of San Francisco residents. The "Pineapple Express" prompted weather alerts, preparations for potential flooding and preparations for the homeless.
More than 10,000 customers were without power after midnight in the Lower Nob Hill and Union Square areas of San Francisco. PG&E said it was due to an underground equipment failure, but the company restored the power to all residents around 4:23 a.m., PG&E said on Twitter.
Across the Bay Area, a few hundred PG&E customers were without power as of Saturday afternoon, according to the company's outage map.
All of the flood watches and advisories were dropped by Saturday afternoon except a flood watch for Solano County. View full weather alerts here.
Bodega Bay in Sonoma County received nearly 6 inches (15.2 centimeters) of rain — more than the entire rainfall total for March, according to the weather service. County officials said there were no major mudslides in areas stripped bare by last fall's wildfires.
To the north, state officials warned this week that they may have to use the partially rebuilt spillway at Oroville Dam for the first time since repairs began on the badly damaged structure last summer.
The water level in Lake Oroville hit 796 feet (243 meters) on Saturday. If it reaches about 830 feet (253 meters), water managers said they may open the gates to the spillway. Officials said they are confident it can safely function.
Earlier Friday, rain and wind caused flooding, closed roads and caused flight delays and cancellations at San Francisco International Airport.
In Sonoma County, flooding caused traffic problems at state Highway 121 and state Highway 12.
The Rohnert Park Expressway in Rohnert Park was closed between the Rancho Verde Mobile Home Park and Stony Point Road due to flooding, city officials said.
Flight cancellations at San Francisco International Airport totaled 147 Friday, which was about 10 percent of the airport's total flight schedule, according to Doug Yakel, a spokesman for the airport.
Most cancellations were on short-haul flights along the West Coast and delays were averaging 60 to 70 minutes in the afternoon, Yakel said.
The heaviest rain in areas outside of the North Bay occured overnight. But by midday Saturday most places were dry as the Pineapple Express moved futher south.
In Oakland, officials offered the public free sandbags and tips for storm preparation for Oakland residents. The city provided up to 10 free sandbags per household to residents and businesses, and up to 20 feet of free plastic sheeting per household while supplies last.
The materials will be available 24 hours a day through Sunday, according to the city. Proof of Oakland residence is required. The materials can be picked up at the Municipal Service Center at 7101 Edgewater Drive or the Drainage Services Facility at 5921 Shepherd.
The city has asked residents to check the storm drain near their home and use a rake to keep it clear of debris. It's also a good idea to check that backflow prevention devices on sewer laterals are functioning properly, city officials said.
In Santa Clara County, additional shelter beds are available after the Office of Supportive Housing announced an Inclement Weather Episode, which started this evening and ends Sunday morning, according to county officials.
The supportive housing division has also opened up 297 additional beds due to the weather.
These beds will be available at the Bill Wilson Center, City Team Ministries, HomeFirst's Boccardo Reception Center, the Gilroy Armory, LifeMoves Georgia Travis House, Montgomery Street Inn and Project WeHOPE.
The bulk of these shelters are located in San Jose with the exception of the Gilroy Armory and Project WeHOPE, located in East Palo Alto.

It doesn't matter how well your day is going when you are the parent of an Autistic child there is always something to deal with. When you are the broke parent of an Autistic child the stress begins to pile so high you can't begin to see the end of the tunnel. There is always something in the back of your mind giving you the nagging feeling that you are forgetting something. I have found that forgetting is not that hard to do when you have almost a dozen different things to give your child each and every day. Then there are therapy appointments and doctor's visits just to have lab work done because your child is on so many supplements. It's expensive.
I read somewhere that it costs approximately $50,000 a year to raise an Autistic child. I'm still wondering where that's coming from. I don't think we can cut anymore corners but somehow it's always all right in the end. I have to gather up all of the little ones supplements so I can write down the names and doses for our next doctor's visit. I am so confused right now I can't even find the child's clothes without going on a treasure hunt in the mornings. I am so far behind and I'm so tired right now that I have no idea what to do.
I used to have a schedule that was second nature and now it's kind of flown out the window. Oh well, today I will type up pages from old diaries to destroy the paper copies and still have record of things that I need to go read to see just how far I've come these last few years. I'm going to get back to work on that now since I latest project is stalled.

Melbourne Victory coach Kevin Muscat was delighted with his team's performance after their 3-1 Westfield FFA Cup quarter final win over Adelaide United on Tuesday night.
United's defence of the Cup came to an end in the form of a 3-1 loss away to fierce foes Victory in the quarter-finals at AAMI Park.
First-half goals from Guilherme Finkler and Kosta Barbarouses earned Muscat's side a comfortable lead going into the break against the Reds.
Adelaide got one back courtesy of a Marcelo Carrusca penalty in the 79th minute, only for Victory to put the result beyond doubt thanks to a spot-kick of their own, converted by Besart Berisha with eight minutes remaining.
Muscat told Fox Sports after the game that the performance satisfied him and the effort and work-rate was what he wanted from his charges.
Dazzling Victory surge into FFA Cup semi finals
"A good result but more pleased with the performance. I thought we dominated and pressed in high areas taking some risks," he said.
"We got rewards for those risks in the first half. And it's nice to be still in the hat [for the semi finals]."
Muscat, however, was not impressed by referee Peter Green who he felt should've taken more control early door of this at-times fiery clash.
"If some incidents early on were dealt with he might not have been so busy," said Muscat.
"A reckless challenge on Fahid [Ben Khalfallah] with the goalkeeper to beat I suppose if you take action there, there aren't so many ordinary challenges after it. It's just disappointing."
Muscat added new signing, Socceroo Oliver Bozanic, still had a lot more to give with match fitness key to his progress.
"He's still fighting fatigue because he's working pretty hard [in training]. But we had to take him off to look after him and the risk increases the more fatigue you've got.
"But I thought he was very good tonight."
However, the Victory coach was concerned when pressed on the sight of club legend Archie Thompson being stretchered off the park after coming on as a second half substitute.
"It's too early but he's obviously in a bit of pain ... we'll wait and see in the next couple of days," said a subdued Muscat.

I did the Raptor/Owl Experience with my cousin a couple of weeks ago. We had a fantastic time. It was truly an amazing experience. Each person in the small group got a chance to fly both a hawk ( "Bojo") and a wonderfully imperious owl named Duke! Our instructor Daniel gave us a short intro to hawks and owls before we went out onto the great lawn area and flew the hawk and owl. The hour flew by (lol). Next time I go back to Edinburgh I definitely will go back to Dalhousie Falconry!

Myself and Heather attended an hours falconry on July 2nd 2018 for my 50th.
We met Kylie who was brilliant and so knowledgeable about the raptors and owls, also with the local birds such as the Nuthatches and gold crests etc that inhabit the woodland adjacent the birds of prey. Kylie was very patient and easy to understand, within a short time we were both flying the birds firstly an Harris Hawk then a Siberian Eagle Owl which was amazing. Kylie even managed to keep going and explain the birds personalities even though she had just been stung on her eyebrow by a wasp. We would definitely come back here again soon. Wayne and Heather.

My family and I had an absolutely magical time on a damp Scottish afternoon working with Kylie and her gorgeous "babies". She was so accommodating and patient with all of 9 us, to include my youngest who are 6 and 7 years old. The birds are absolutely delightful, and with the setting of the castle behind we all made memories we will not soon forget. It was truly the highlight of our family vacation and I cannot recommend it highly enough. Thank you so much to the entire team!

We had a fabulous morning with Garath and the birds at the Shieldaig Hotel. The location is beautiful and perfect for flying these amazing creatures. Garath was very knowledgeable and informative. This was definitely a highlight of our visit to the Highlands! Thank you, Garath!

I am Caroline, age 11, and my family recently went to Scotland on vacation. The staff was very friendly! I got to fly Spud the kestrel and Genie the owl, and I loved it! The birds were so cute and soft and friendly! If ten stars was a rating, that's what I would rate Dalhousie Falconry!

What a great day out with a difference. My son Logan received you're junior falconry experience for his recent 10th birthday from his Grandparents. He enjoyed a wonderful afternoon led by Gareth flying Spud the kestrel followed by the lovely barn owl Jeannie. Gareth really made the children feel special and was a fountain of knowledge about all the birds on show. I would just like to say a huge thank you for a wonderful experience filled with lots of great memories for both adults and children.

The way the birds were cared for was very evident with the birds being calm and responsive. Gareth who led our experience was very informative and did not rush the interactions with the birds. All staff were keen to interact with us and talk about the birds, a very obvious passion.
It was a real hands on experience with each of us handling the birds repeated times.

Cuban independent journalist and prisoner of conscience Calixto Martinez on Thursday ended a hunger strike he started to demand his release from jail.
Martinez, who has been held without trial since Sept. 16, has been told that he will be transferred from the Combinando del Este prison in Havana to the Valle Grande prison in Havana province. Subsequently, he will be released, according to Martinoticias.com.
Via Twitter, independent journalist Roberto de Jeusus, who talked with Martinez, said the prisoner told him that the hunger strike, which he started March 6, had caused him to lose two teeth and that he had suffered injuries to his mouth and teeth.
Martinez, who was arrested while trying to report on what happened to donated medical supplies that apparently spoiled while at the Havana airport, faces a charge of "disrespecting" Fidel Castro. However, he has yet to be brought to trial, which lead Martinez to carry out two seperate hunger strikes to force his release.
Hunger strikes by Cuban political prisoners to force the the Castro regime to act are unfortunate because in most instances, they are futile. The regime doesn't care if they live or die, unless the international attention is such that it cannot be ignored.
That may be what happened in the Martinez case, which via social media and other means had grabbed scrutiny from around the world. The stakes were made too high for the regime to continue ignoring his plea for justice.
Uncommon Sense is proud to have joined that effort, and we will keep watch until Martinez is released from prison.

For some reason I just couldn't fall asleep last night. Luckily, even though there were problems at SCS, I could go to Betty's blog and get the Color Challenge. After making my card, and a posting that I crossed my fingers over, I went back to bed, and sometime after 2 AM, slept.
I love this matching dp from Dejaviews. The only stamping is one of the bees from Blackberries, Sunflower and Bees from MFP.
I have an offer from DH to go with him to his office, and run a few errands, so we will be off for the day.
An update: He is thrilled with the extra space in his office here at home, and my desk probably works out better in another room where it has found a home itself. It also meant a thorough cleaning, which was long overdue!! Have a great day!

Product Reviews
Beautiful product - terrible shipping
Dec 23, 2018 | By Peggy Grandstaff
The basket is beautiful and very well made and I'm, sure it looked exactly like the picture at one time. But I was extremely disappointed with the way it was shipped. It was twisted and smashed down to fit in the box. The bottom was pushed up so far that my husband had a hard time pushing it back into shape and it is still distorted. This is a gift for my daughter and I don't know if she will be able to fix it or not. My review is for the quality of the product only.
Feb 9, 2018 | By Marie
I ordered this basket because the one I really wanted was out of stock. I am so glad I got this basket. It is big enough and very well made. The color is great. I love it!!

Chris Brown is beefing up his acting résumé with a lead in the new flick "Planet B-Boy," alongside "Lost" actor Josh Holloway. The Benson Lee-directed film is based on Lee's award-winning 2007 documentary of the same name, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
Production for the film kicks off this week in L.A. According to a description from studio Screen Gems, it "is about an all-star American b-boy crew training to compete in France at the Battle of the Year (BOTY) International Championships. After a decade of defeat, the crew and their coach must go up against the best and greatest b-boys in the world: the Koreans, the Russians and the French who have dominated the original American dance form for the last 10 years."
The film also stars Laz Alonso, Josh Peck and Caity Lotz. Production will eventually move to Montpellier, France.
"B-Boy" is the latest project on Brown's acting résumé, which already includes "The O.C.," "The Christmas," "Stomp the Yard" and "Takers." He's also slated to star in "Think Like a Man," based on the Steve Harvey book.
"When acting, I feel like it's cool to use your strengths, but it's also cool to use your other abilities as well," Brown told MTV News in 2010 about a Hollywood career. "I didn't just wanna do movies that had consistent dancing and singing: I wanted to do stuff that pushes me as an actor at the end of the day. Because you have people like T.I. and Common that do stuff that's not around what they do in the entertainment industry as far as music, and they succeeded.
"So I just wanna branch over to that, especially like Will Smith," he continued. "He comes from rapping and going right into the acting thing, so I wanna come from the singing parts and go into acting, and people can tell the difference. I think that with this role [in 'Takers'], it was more intense, more action, more stuff that I love to do, what I love to see in movies."

- File can't be deleted - disaster imminent [From Chris Cooper]
On my MalayBook's SanDisk CF card, I have a rogue file that I can't get rid of.
It purports to have the impossible filename " ing.ks. " (with a full stop at
the end); when I click Ctrl-P for its properties I get "Not found" and the same
when I try to delete it or rename it; in the system screen it claims to be 1200
MB in size (not bad for a 256 MB card!)- but in the directory tree it claims to
be about 28 MB.
A soft reset doesn't remove it. The only minor nuisance it creates (apart from
the memory it uses) is that it causes an error message when I backup to my PCD
via PisWin.
Any suggestions?
- - -
[From Chris Handley]
Yes, your CF card is corrupt. Which, as you may imagine, is a bad thing.
Potentially other files could get damaged, or you might even lose all of them.
So I suggest that you:
1. Backup all the files you can, either onto another CF card, or onto another
2. Either (a) format the card in your Psion, and then copy your files back,
or (b) download Atelier's Essential Disk Utilities (EDU) from www.
pscience5.net , install CheckDisk to your C disk, and then use it to repair
your CF card.
As to how it could have got corrupted - there are lots of ways. Removing the
card before your Psion had finished writing to it (it's best to switch your
Psion off before removing the CF card). Your Psion crashed in the middle of
writing to the card (unlikely I know!). You let Windows touch your CF card -
although some memory card readers seem to be much worse than others. Or you
have just used your CF card too much, and it is now worn-out in some areas…
- - -
Something I forgot to say:
1. Backup all the files you can, either onto another CF card, or onto another computer.
2. Either (a) format the card in your Psion, and then copy your files back, ….
If you choose this option, make sure that you backup EVERYTHING. That includes
the "System" folder, which is usually hidden by your Psion. You can make it
visible by going to Tools/Preferences (or pressing Ctrl-K), and then ticking
both "Show hidden files" and "Show 'System' folder".
- - -
[From Prar]
These files with dodgy names are caused when the FAT is overwritten by a data
file. You are potentially moments away from losing the whole card's worth of
- - -
[From Austin]
You almost certainly have a corrupt CF card that you need to format as soon as
you can - if not sooner! Take the card out and recover all your files to a
desktop computer but beware some will not copy as they are corrupt - recover as
many as you can and supplement them with your latest (daily!) backup. Then
format the CF card, copy back all the files you saved and put it back in your
I find it's a good idea to regularly take out the CF card, backup all the files
to a desktop computer, format the card and copy the files back because CF cards
get corrupted from time to time.
On the Series 5 low batteries result in corrupt CF cards - I imagine it's the
same with the netBook and variants - keep your battery well charged!

Laweyan is one of the most popular kampong in Solo, many batik industries can be found here. Batik industries in Laweyan have been established even before Mataram, one of the famous islamic kingdom in java, moved to Solo from Kartasura. Based on KRT. Mlayadipuro, the history of laweyan was started in 1500's when Laweyan village was given to Ki Ageng Henis by the king of Pajang Kingdom. Pajang Kingdom was the former kingdom of Mataram. Ki Ageng Henis is an imam which is not only teaching Islamic wisdom but also batik as an art and tradition. In that era, laweyan become the trading center of the kingdom that specializes in threads ("lawe") for weaving process. Therefore, people started to call it "Laweyan".
The existence of Kabanaran River has been helped the development of thread industry and trading activities in Laweyan. In Kabanaran Port the goods distribution actively takes place. Although it rapidly replaced by land transportation such as train. In the 20th century, Laweyan inhabitants are famous as a rich businessman. They even richer than the nobleman in the palace.
In the past, batik business in Laweyan was managed by women, from the batik production process to financial management and marketing. They called them self as Mbok Mase where Mbok means mother, while their husband called as Mas Nganten (Mas: older brother). In the development of batik businesses, women particularly, contribute 75% in the management and production processes while the husband only 25%. Here, their capability in managing businesses have brought women to higher social level. Then these women will trained their daughter. So that later, they could take over the family business, but at that time they were not aware with the strike of modern technology especially textile printing technology. This technology have dominated batik market in 1970's until late 1990's. Batik industries in Laweyan then started to rise again when it was formally introduced as Kampong Batik by the former mayor of Solo, Slamet Suryanto in 2000's.

The development of batik industry in Laweyan in the 20th century supported by some factors including batik has a important meaning toward the palace and kingdom as a symbol of power and nobility rank. At that time batik has been transformed into a popular item in the Javanese society especially in Solo City. Batik industry in Laweyan become even bigger when the businessman get the permission to produce stamp batik with traditional motif. The discovery of stamp batik has been affected on the hand writing batik production and market that made by the palace. The use of creative motif has also been suppressed the existence of classic motif. The popularity of batik in Java not only beneficial to the batik maker in Laweyan but also the dutch colonial as the demand of cotton increase. As the market getting bigger not only Javanese businessman attracted to batik industry but also some foreign migrants such as Arabic, china, and European businessman. The detail number of Surakarta batik industries in 1930's can be found below,
|Total Number
|Javanese (pribumi)
Sources: P. De Kat Angelino, 1930, page. 321 in Soedarmono, 2006, page. 49

Salty, Salty Meat
Like dried beans, dry bread, and sometimes dried fruits, preserved meat was a staple of sea life. While fresh fish was a possibility, most animal protein sources were salted.
Columbus would have commonly eaten things like salted (cured) beef, cod and sardines. Salted pork was also a constant presence onboard. In fact, pork was something that Columbus and his peers brought to the New World.
Introduction of pork to Mexican cooking aside, for those who like bright, bold flavors, the benefits of a culinary exchange between Europe and the Americas at that time probably favored the former.
Take, for instance, the tomato.
For a commemorative meal…
Consider fresh-baked or fried cod, corned beef or carnitas tacos.

Voda results and a DVB-H Kartel
German MNOs definitely took their time to answer debitel's M-VNO - DMB combo*. Vodafone, E-Plus, O2 and T-Mobile unsurprisingly decided to push DVB-H, but their joint approach may prove counterproductive : it looks like clumsy lobbying from all 3G auction winners / losers (Telefonica included), with the benediction of the main lobbyist behind European UMTS then and DVB-H now (Nokia, a former Finnish timber company building forests for towercos). The message : we paid the price for your bad spectrum allocation management so this time let us do our job. We'll take care of everything and TV operators will enjoy an efficient one-stop-shopping system. Mobile TV belongs to us not to them, we need to recover some of our losses thank you.
Losses ? Voda painted their net loss of 21.9 billion pounds a rather T-Mobilish pink in a "Delivering against expectations" section where they "meet or exceed all financial guidance for FY05/06". Meet "financial guidance", the latest financial indicator... a sure hit after the 2000-2002 EBITDA wave, even if all analysts are not bound to dance on this one that easily.
Other remarks :
- over 5% of total revenues for the FY (10% for the last month) were generated by "3G devices", which means "3G" itself delivered much less than that.
- one year after the French NO (to the constitution as well as to the sale of SFR), Europe seems to have stalled. Spain looks fine but Voda warns the audience : fiercer competition in 2006 means weaker results ahead.
- messaging put aside, data jumped an impressive 60% but only represents 3% of controlled service revenue. Revenues can be "stimulated" but margin will improve much quicklier across the Red Empire through a much less glamour "disciplined execution".
- dividends are definitely following a positive curve but in such a context that sounds like a strategical dead-end
- The Verizon Wireless operation comes handy and I'm not sure it will be the case in the future. I see neither strategic vision nor long term commitment in the following statements : "Vodafone's board will always consider shareholder's value", "Vodafone is happy to remain in the US with its existing stake". Actually, I don't think shareholders are happy to remain with the existing lack of strategy.
Now moving on to the "Mobile Plus" revolution (which could be translated by "we cannot survive as mobile only but we cannot scream our loss of face so loudly so let's label fixed services as mobile extensions") : Vodafone At Home and Vodafone At Office were very much needed, and tapping into the advertising well makes perfect sense, but the company seems to define itself as a follower.
If I didn't expect Voda to turn into a daredevil overnight, a cultural shift demands at least some affirmation from a leader. Here, a "customer demand led" Vodafone cautiously dips a timid toe inside the fixed arena ("only the fixed services customers want") and doesn't even expose its own brand in the advertising field where it is so much relevant : to me, leveraging on Google only, a rival in location-based services, instead of developping the Vodafone brand is a strategic mistake.
Well... I've definitely not been very kind to Vodafone lately, but I'm holding no grudge against them. Only expressing some frustration considering what they could do. I felt the same about Orange a few years ago and I hope it won't take them as much time to deliver.

In this installment I will be featuring the command module for the 1/48 Dragon Apollo spacecraft. Over all the general lines and shapes are spot-on. In some ways the detailing on this kit is stunning in others a lot of little details were left off. I did have to add a few minor details such as the sextant and telescope on the +Z axis.
Dragon featuring very nicely detailed EVA handles with this kit yet below you can see the lack of
an EVA handle and pressure equalization and purge ports.
The docking probe assembly was a nice 4-part affair but, the pieces were quite fragile and I managed to break parts off of them. Luckily I had a highly detail "extented" probe from the RealSpace 1/48 Apollo that I used.
The RealSpace docking probe offered an even greater level of detail than the original.
For the mylar coatings I cut 1/8 inch strips of Bare-Metal Foil and carefully applied them to the CM. I strongly encourage anyone using this process to purchase the Space in Miniature #6: Apollo Command and Service Module monograph by David Weeks and Michael Mackowski available at
This fine publication features nice illustrations of the foiled pattern on the Apollo command modules.
The kit instructions were somewhat difficult to know where the CM decals were to be applied. Again if was helpful to have the Space in Miniature book as a more detailed look at the data markings!
The heat shield snapped firmly into place. The hole in the middle was for the mounting peg inside the top of the service module.
For the final installment of this series the completed kit will be showcased with final comments.
Real Space Kit News!
There are a couple of interesting announcements by model companies offering new real space kits. One is by old favorite Glenn Johnson and RealSpace Models from Tallahassee, Florida of a phenomenal 1/144 scale kit of the Skylab space station. For additional information see the link below!
* * * *
Great Wall Hobby from China recently released a 1/48 scale kit of the Chinese Tiangong 1 space station with the Shenzhou 8 space craft. See the link below for more information.
* * * * *
Dragon keeps on cranking out 1/72 scale space kits. Their newest editions are the Apollo Soyuz Test Project and a killer Apollo 17 CSM/LM/Lunar Rover kit! I should have an Apollo 17 kit for an 'out of box' review for my next installment!
Speculation is that Dragon should release a 1/72 scale Mercury capsule as they have already release a die-cast version of one. One would hope that they would continue producing additional 1/72 space subjects such as Soviet vehicles, Skylab, or maybe an accurate shuttle???

ADV Films presents
"I may be a fool, but I'm a fool that always wins."
DVD ReviewWith the incredible popularity of the Slayers series, it is no surprise to see the creative team and voice talent reunited for another show, and Lost Universe has been called "Slayers in space" on a number of occasions. Manga author Hajime Kanzaka is again at the writing helm, teamed up with Shouko Yoshinaka who also handles the character designs. The voice cast brings together Slayers alumni Megumi Hayashibara (who also sings the closing song), Hikaru Midorikawa, Masami Suzuki, and Kyoko Tsuruno (Martina in Slayers Next). Kain Blueriver (Souichirou Hoshi) is a "trouble contractor," a more respectable name for bounty hunter, travelling around the galaxy on missions for those who pay. He is a formidable adversary, wielding a psychicly charged sword known as a Psi-Blade, and his penchant for style requires the adornment of his trademark cape—an item which invariably sparks the ridicule of all he comes across. He undertakes his tasks in his Lost Ship, the Swordbreaker, which possesses rare and forgotten ancient technologies, including a physics-defying hyperdrive, and the ability to manifest itself in the form of Canal Vanfoil (Megumi Hayashibara), Kain's trusty holographic sidekick. Canal is fastidious about her ship's appearance, and gets extremely upset should any form of debris or dirt find its way onboard. Millenium "Millie" Feria Nocturne (Kyoko Tsuruno, formerly known as Fuyumi Hiiragi) is determined to become the universe's greatest something, so she can become famous through her autobiography. When Kain and Canal interrupt her as she is attempting to become the galaxy's best detective by exposing a crime syndicate responsible for auctioning various stolen goods, Millie decides to become part of the Swordbreaker crew, as retribution for losing her job. Aboard the ship, Millie is now working on becoming the universe's greatest cook, however her culinary attempts require blowing up the kitchen with every meal, an event that Canal is none too happy with, though Kain likes the edible results. With this trio on the loose, their quarry had better beware!Aside from their exploits with a leading crime family, disc one also introduces us to a couple of the team's associates: Rail, a member of the intergalactic police force, the Universal Guardians, who dumps his unwanted jobs on Kain, and Rail's assistant, the clumsy Nina, who has interface problems with electronic gizmos. While mostly an introduction to the cast, we're off on a string of adventures of an episodic nature, with hints at some underlying story arc being thrown in each installment. This is certainly not a series to be taken as serious—the humor is continuous, and unlike shows who rely on one character to be the idiot, we have an entire collection of goofballs to deal with here. Everyone has at least one bizarre quirk that can set up the fun factor, and the rivalry between the crew and their ability to get on each other's nerves is half the entertainment. The exposition is strong, and it was easy to settle in to everyone's attitudes. The show also incorporates some CG elements for the space scenes, which don't entirely mesh with the look of the rest of the production. Aside from some anomalies from the motion rendering, I'm not all that put off by its inclusion; while obvious, it isn't as glaring as some of the CG work I've seen in anime. Lost Universe is shaping up to be another laugh-filled ride, and I'm having a great time so far.
Rating for Style: A
Rating for Substance: A-
Image Transfer
Image Transfer Review: Video quality is better than expected for a catalogue title. Colors a vibrant, blacks are solid except for a couple of title cards, which are also the few places where any form of digital artifacting exists. There is some grain in places, but except in very dark scenes, this isn't a real problem. Typical amounts of aliasing and a few areas with some interlacing are present. The CG sections do stand out from the rest of the animation, but not as bad as they cold have, and movement here is somewhat stuttery due to the source.I would mention that the persistence of the subtitles seems somewhat eratic, rather than looking solid on screen.
Image Transfer Grade: B+
Audio Transfer
Audio Transfer Review: The stereo soundstage is well utilized, with dialogue sticking to center most of the time, but music spreading well into the left and right channels. There was a bit of edginess on some of the voices, but nothing really bad. Frequency range doesn't dive deep into the bottom end, but still comes off natural and pleasing.
Audio Transfer Grade: B+
Disc ExtrasStatic menu with music
Scene Access with 17 cues and remote access

Extras Review: Ah the good old days, when ADV front-loaded their trailers. Here we have Ruin Explorers,Slayers: The Movie, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Burn Up W, Bubblegum Crisis: Tokyo 2040, and the ADV mix trailer. The main menu allows access to the trailer reel, though not individual titles. I would mention that the main menu has the whole opening theme playing behind it, which I highly enjoy, and the Japanese production credits form the final chapter of the disc, with the English credits ending each episode. That's about it for extras on this disc!
Extras Grade: D
Final CommentsThe first four episodes of Lost Universe set up what looks to be another wacky, fun-filled series. The personalities are strong, the voice acting great, and the situations highly comical. Strap yourself in, it's time for an intergalactic comedy of universal proportions!

Coming this Spring to Ambush, we present an epic conflict that was once all to common on a Sunday morning.
For one day we transform the epic battle plains of Ambush Paintball into one massive field of carnage for an exceptional day of re-living childhood fantasies, and having a pretty rip roaring game of paintball in the process.
Hosted by our resident scenario aficionado Spencer "Ace" Moase, this game will take place for the entire day. The game will feature various objectives to complete, items to capture and most importantly opponents to shoot!
All with a flair that will either have you shouting GO JOE or HAIL COBRA!

This is a field paintball only event, standard field rules apply, and Ambush Paintball reserves the right to refuse service to anyone.
