Businesses fear effects of court case about horses
A case now being considered by the state Supreme Court could have "catastrophic" consequences for local businesses that work with horses, according to Kathy Freeman, program director of Beech Brook Farm Equine Rescue in Mystic.
The court listened to arguments last week about a 2006 incident in which a horse at Glendale Farms in Milford bit a child on the cheek when he tried to pet it. In 2012, an appellate court found that the owner of the horse was at fault because horses are "a species naturally inclined to do mischief or be vicious," according to an Associated Press report.
Several local horse owners say that if the Supreme Court agrees that horses are dangerous and upholds the appellate court decision, insurance will be unaffordable and they could be put out of business.
Aside from the practical effects of such a ruling, some area residents who work with horses say the court's characterization of horse behavior is not accurate.
"I think it's ridiculous to think every member of any species is vicious," said Dee Doolittle, founder and executive director of Mitchell Farm Equine Retirement in Salem. Her farm offers a place for older horses, which are more likely to be neglected or abused, to live peacefully in old age.
Mary Jean Vasiloff, who owns McCulloch Farm in Old Lyme, called the case "absolutely outrageous."
She blamed the situation on ignorance about horses in today's society, adding that there is "just plain garbage on the Internet about horses."
Vasiloff believes that with fewer people interacting with animals in the way they used to, they don't always understand how to act around horses.
At McCulloch Farm, Vasiloff allows visitors to interact with and pet horses and has several people who board their pets in her stalls. She's been working with horses since 1940, when she was 10, and said she has only seen a few people bitten.
In those cases, she said, the horse was usually provoked. She described one incident where a horse owner was bitten when she put herself in between her stallion and a stallion in another stall.
Jenifer Nadeau, an associate professor at the University of Connecticut's Department of Animal Science, said that horses are prey animals and are not inherently dangerous, though they may become dangerous if they are startled.
"A horse may react unpredictably since they are prey, much as a deer or moose would," said Nadeau. "However, I would not at all say that they are inherently vicious and likely to bite or kick. That is simply untrue. If one startles them, they may react this way to protect themselves."
Vasiloff said that some horses may be more aggressive because they have been handled poorly, and recently had some owners remove their horses from her farm because she thought they might bite.
She said those horses were bred to be "hot, energetic show horses" and that improper handling led to them being more aggressive than other horses at the farm.
Horses are usually gentle, however, said Vasiloff, and incidents of aggression are rare. She said they are "very social" and that even sometimes adopt other animals as companions, including goats, chickens and even snakes.
Vasiloff worries that if the Supreme Court upholds the Appellate Court's ruling that horses are dangerous animals, "there will be no (more) horses in Connecticut" because of the insurance and liability issues.
Nadeau agreed that such a ruling could be detrimental to the horse industry, because it can already be costly to insure equine events and may become impossible if horses are considered vicious animals.
Also, "one wonders, would we have to cage horses like a lion or tiger?" asked Nadeau. "That would totally change the husbandry of horses and cost the horse industry millions of dollars for something completely unnecessary."
Bill Moshier boards his 4-year-old Morgan gelding at McCulloch Farm and said he regularly lets his 2½-year-old grandson touch the animal.
Horses are not vicious, he says.
"What is vicious is someone with little or no factual information making a ridiculous statement like that," he said. "I would suggest that that individual pay a visit to McCulloch Farm and enjoy the horses stabled there."

ROSE HILL—Though it started looking grim for a few minutes, a determined Augusta girls basketball team was able to finish off Friday night's game in Rose Hill in a way it hadn't all season.
The Orioles got a win.
Augusta held off a mini-surge by the Rockets to win 40-35 and get its first victory of the season.
"Not going to lie, I was a little nervous there," said senior Madie Becker. "But we wanted it tonight. I'm just going to remember this feeling."
"It feels awesome, like a huge weight is off," senior Taylor Childers said. "It's definitely uplifting for us because we've had close games, we've had games we've been blown away. But we always fight through it, and this time we finished and we fought hard. And against one of our biggest rivals, it's the best feeling."
The win also was the first for head coach Tracy Anderson, who said the girls deserved the win after never giving up even during the losing streak.
"Just going into the locker room was amazing. To see their smiles, it was joy. That's what coaching is all about" Anderson said.
The Orioles were down 17-10 at halftime before they swung momentum in the game-defining third quarter. The Orioles gritted through with physical play and purposeful execution on the offensive end.
Augusta outscored the Rockets 18-7, outrebounded them 13-4 forced seven total turnovers (four steals) and had an 8-0 edge in second-chance points.
"That's the kind of ball we have to play. We have to get second-chance points, and I thought the key was that we didn't turnover the ball over that quarter," Anderson said.
Rose Hill fell behind by as many as eight before rallying. The Rockets gave the Orioles a scare when Autumn Lipscomb drained a 3-pointer to pull within three at 38-35 with 11 seconds left. But senior Kalie Robinson made two critical free throws to ice the game. And the win.
"It feels awesome. We can use this as motivation," Robinson said. "This can get us fired up again."
Casady Marlnee was a force for the Orioles. She was able to drive and hit a couple jumpers for her team-high 11 points. Freshman Maddy Leedom scored eight points. Becker added six, Childers had five, Robinson and Hope Travaille both had four, and Bailey Reichardt scored two.
"We were really strong everywhere on the floor and everyone contributed," Travaille said. "It wasn't just the guards or post, but everyone chipped in."

A Month with the Elephants
Elephants in South Africa's Addo Elephant National Park
Photo by Erin Dowgwillo
So you want to save elephants? In fall 2009, Erin Dowgwillo helped do just that. Dowgwillo, a zookeeper at the Milwaukee County Zoo, studied elephants and black rhinos in South Africa's Addo Elephant National Park. From observing the park's elephants at waterholes to analyzing elephant poop samples in a makeshift field office, Dowgwillo kept a photo diary of her trip. See her pictures in the photo slide show below (Zoological Society members can also read about Dowgwillo in the spring/summer issue of Alive magazine.)
Dowgwillo's work is part of an ongoing research project led by Dr. Elizabeth Freeman, a scientist at the Smithsonian National Zoo in Washington, D.C. For more on her work, and links to other resources, see below.

Revision as of 04:06, 22 March 2013
Building OpenStack with the Cisco Edition will enable you to deploy a multi-node OpenStack system with Quantum enabled network services management. The system will also enable a simple monitoring function based on Nagios, Collectd, and Graphite.
In the Cisco OpenStack Edition (COE), an initial build server outside of the OpenStack cluster is used to manage and automate the OpenStack software deployment. This build server primarily functions as a Puppet server for software deployment and configuration management onto the OpenStack cluster, as well as a Cobbler installation server to manage the PXE boot used for rapid bootstrapping of the OpenStack cluster.
Once the build server is installed and configured, it is used as an out-of-band automation and management workstation to bring up, control, and reconfigure (if later needed) the nodes of the OpenStack cluster. It also functions as a monitoring server to collect statistics about the health and performance of the OpenStack cluster, as well as to monitor the availability of the machines and services which comprise the OpenStack cluster.
This current deployment supports:
- Single control server
- Multiple compute nodes
- Quantum managed network (OpenVirtual Switch GRE tunnel based environment)
The current model does not support deployment of:
- Swift
- Cinder
- Ceilometer
- Other OpenStack community incubated projects
The current system is deployable on Cisco UCS B-series and C-series hardware along with Nexus "Top-of-Rack" class L2/L3 network switches, though using the deployment with other compute and network platforms is possible. The system leverages the Ubuntu 12.04 LTS ("Precise") Linux operating system as its base Hypervisor platform and for the build/monitoring node, RedHat/CentOS/SL support for the Hypervisor function is expected in a future release. There are no known limitations to virtualized machines running in the OpenStack environement as long as they can run in a KVM based Hypervisor.
You can find bugs, release milestones, and other information on Launchpad. You can find release notes for the most recent release here.
Building the environment
Although other configurations are supported, the following instructions target an environment with a build node, a controller node, and at least one compute node. Additional compute nodes may optionally be added.
Also, these instructions primarily target deployment of OpenStack onto UCS servers (either blades or rack-mount form factors). Several steps in the automation leverage the UCS manager or CIMC to execute system tasks. Deployment on non-UCS gear may well work, particularly if the gear has functional IPMI, but may require additional configuration or additional manual steps to manage systems.
COE Folsom requires that you have two physically or logically (VLAN) separated IP networks. You must have an external router or layer-3 switch that provides connectivity between these two networks. This is required in order to support Quantum and the Cloud-Init metadata server for Provider Router based deployments (similar to FlatDHCP + Floating IP support in the nova-network model):
One network is used to provide connectivity for OpenStack API endpoints, Open vSwitch (OVS) GRE endpoints, and OpenStack/UCS management. The second network is used by OVS as the physical bridge interface and by Quantum as the public network
Creating a build server
To deploy Cisco OpenStack, first configure a build server. This server has relatively modest hardware requirements: 2 GB RAM, 20 GB storage, Internet connectivity, and a network interface on the same network as the eventual management interfaces of the OpenStack cluster machines are the minimal requirements. This machine can be physical or virtual; eventually a pre-built VM of this server will be provided, but this is not yet available.
Install Ubuntu 12.04 LTS onto this build server. A minimal install with openssh-server is sufficient. Configure the network interface on the OpenStack cluster management segment with a static IP. Also, when partitioning the storage, choose a partitioning scheme which provides at least 15 GB free space under /var, as installation packages and ISO images used to deploy OpenStack will eventually be cached there.
When the installation finishes, log in and become root:
sudo -H bash
NOTE: If you have proxies, or your control and compute nodes do not have internet access, please read the following:
If you require a proxy server to access the internet, be aware that proxy users have occasionally reported problems during the phases of the installation process that download and install software packages. A common symptom of proxy trouble is that apt will complain about hash mismatches or file corruptions when verifying downloaded files. A few known scenarios and workarounds include:
- If the apt-get process reports a "HASH mismatch", you may be facing an issue with a caching engine. If it's possible to do so, bypassing the caching engine may resolve the problem.
- If you do have a proxy, you will want, at a minimum, to export the two types of proxies needed in your root shell when running fetch commands, as noted in the relevant sections.
- You will also want to change the $proxy setting in site.pp to reflect your local proxy.
Another possible change is if you don't have "public" Internet accessible IPs for all of your machines (build, control, compute, etc.) and are building this in a controlled environment. If this is the case, ensure that $default_gateway is *not* set in site.pp and all of the files required for installing the control and compute nodes will be fetched from the boot server.
You have two choices for setting up the build server. You can follow the manual steps below, or you can run a one line script that tries to automate this process. In either case, you should end up with the puppet modules installed, and a set of template site manifests in /etc/puppet/manifests.
Model 1: Run the Script
To run the install script, copy and paste the following on your command line (as root with your proxy set if necessary as above):
curl -s -k -B https://raw.github.com/CiscoSystems/folsom-manifests/multi-node/install_os_puppet | /bin/bash
With a proxy, use:
https_proxy=http://proxy.example.com:80/ curl -s -k -B https://raw.github.com/CiscoSystems/folsom-manifests/multi-node/install_os_puppet > install_os_puppet chmod +x install_os_puppet ./install_os_puppet -p http://proxy.example.com:80 | /bin/bash
You can now jump to "Customizing your build server". Otherwise, follow along with the steps below.
Model 2: Run the Commands Manually
All should now install any pending security updates:
apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade -y && apt-get install -y puppet git ipmitool debmirror
NOTE: The system may need to be restarted after applying the updates.
Get the Cisco Edition example manifests. Under the folsom-manifests GitHub repository you will find different branches, so select the one that matches your topology plans most closely. In the following examples the multi-node branch will be used, which is likely the most common topology:
git clone -b multi-node https://github.com/CiscoSystems/folsom-manifests ~/cisco-folsom-manifests/
With a proxy:
https_proxy=http://proxy.example.com:80 git clone -b multi-node https://github.com/CiscoSystems/folsom-manifests ~/cisco-folsom-manifests/
Copy the puppet manifests from ~/cisco-folsom-manifests/manifests/ to /etc/puppet/manifests/
cp ~/cisco-folsom-manifests/manifests/* /etc/puppet/manifests
Then get the Cisco Edition puppet modules from Cisco's GitHub repository:
(cd /etc/puppet/manifests; sh /etc/puppet/manifests/puppet-modules.sh)
With a proxy:
(cd /etc/puppet/manifests; http_proxy=http://proxy.example.com:80 https_proxy=http://proxy.example.com:80 sh /etc/puppet/manifests/puppet-modules.sh)
Customizing the Build Server
In the /etc/puppet/manifests directory you will find these three files:
clean_node.sh cobbler-node.pp core.pp modules.list puppet-modules.sh reset_nodes.sh site.pp.example
At a high level, cobbler-node.pp manages the deployment of cobbler to support booting of additional servers into your environment. The core.pp manifest defines the core definitions for openstack service deployment. The site.pp.example manifest captures the user modifiable components and defines the various parameters that must be set to configure the OpenStack cluster, including the puppetmaster and cobbler setup on the build server. clean_node.sh is a shell script provided as a convenience to deployment users; it wraps several cobbler and puppet commands for ease of use when building and rebuilding the nodes of the OpenStack cluster. reset_nodes.sh is a wrapper around clean_node.sh to rebuild your entire cluster quickly with one command.
IMPORTANT! You must copy site.pp.example to site.pp and then edit it as appropriate for your installation. It is internally documented.
cp /etc/puppet/manifests/site.pp.example /etc/puppet/manifests/site.pp vi /etc/puppet/manifests/site.pp
Then, use the 'puppet apply' command to activate the manifest:
puppet apply -v /etc/puppet/manifests/site.pp
When the puppet apply command runs, the puppet client on the build server will follow the instructions in the site.pp and cobbler-node.pp manifests and will configure several programs on the build server:
- ntpd -- a time synchronization server used on all OpenStack cluster nodes to ensure time throughout the cluster is correct
- tftpd-hpa -- a TFTP server used as part of the PXE boot process when OpenStack nodes boot up
- dnsmasq -- a DNS and DHCP server used as part of the PXE boot process when OpenStack nodes boot up
- cobbler -- an installation and boot management daemon which manages the installation and booting of OpenStack nodes
- apt-cacher-ng -- a caching proxy for package installations, used to speed up package installation on the OpenStack nodes
- nagios -- a infrastructure monitoring application, used to monitor the servers and processes of the OpenStack cluster
- collectd --a statistics collection application, used to gather performance and other metrics from the components of the OpenStack cluster
- graphite and carbon -- a real-time graphing system for parsing and displaying metrics and statistics about OpenStack
- apache -- a web server hosting sites to implement graphite, nagios, and puppet web services
The initial puppet configuration of the build server will take several minutes to complete as it downloads, installs, and configures all the software needed for these applications.
Once the site.pp manifest has been applied to your system, you need to stage puppet plugins so they can be accessed by the managed nodes:
puppet plugin download
After the build server is configured, the systems listed in site.pp should be defined in cobbler on the build server:
# cobbler system list control-server compute-server01 compute-server02 #
And now, you should be able to use cobbler to build your controller:
/etc/puppet/manifests/clean_node.sh {node_name}
NOTE: Replace node_name with the name of your controller.
clean_node.sh is a script which does several things:
- Configures Cobbler to PXE boot the specified node with appropriate PXE options to do an automated install of Ubuntu
- Uses Cobbler to power-cycle the node
- Removes any existing client registrations for the node from Puppet, so Puppet will treat it as a new install
- Removes any existing key entries for the node from the SSH known hosts database
You can watch the progress on the console of your controller node as cobbler completes the automated install of Ubuntu. Once the installation finishes, the controller node will reboot and then will run puppet after it boots up. Puppet will pull and apply the controller node configuration defined in the puppet manifests on the build server.
This step will take several minutes, as puppet downloads, installs, and configures the various OpenStack components and support applications needed on the control node. /var/log/syslog on the controller node will display the progress of the puppet configuration run.
NOTE: It may take more than one puppet run for the controller node to be set up completely, especially if there are proxies in the path as some proxies can have issues with apt-get installs and updates. Observe the log files (/var/log/syslog on the controller node) to verify that the controller configuration has converged completely to the configuration defined in puppet.
Once the puppet configuration of the controller has completed, follow the same steps to build each of the other nodes in the cluster, using clean_node.sh to initiate each install. As with the controller, the other nodes will take several minutes for puppet configuration to complete, and may require multiple runs of puppet before they are fully converged to their defined configuration state.
As a short cut, if you want to build all of the nodes defined in your cobbler-node.pp file, you can run:
for n in `cobbler system list`; do clean_node.sh $n ; done
Or you can run a full reset script which also does this, and re-runs the build-node puppet apply and puppet plugin download steps:
Once the OpenStack nodes have been built using cobbler, run puppet on the build node a second time:
puppet agent -t
This second puppet run will gather information about the individual OpenStack nodes collected by puppet when they were being built, and use that information to set up status monitoring of the OpenStack cluster on the build server.
Testing OpenStack
Once the nodes are built, and once puppet runs have completed on all nodes (watch /var/log/syslog on the cobbler node), you should be able to log into the OpenStack Horizon interface:
http://ip-of-your-control-node/ user: admin, password: Cisco123 (if you didn't change the defaults in the site.pp file)
You will still need to log into the console of the control node to load in an image using user: localadmin, password: ubuntu. If you SU to root, you will need to source the openrc auth file which is in the root's home directory (run "source openrc" in /root/), and you can launch a test file in /tmp/nova_test.sh.
Deploy Your First VM
The following deployment steps should be used after completing clean puppet runs on OpenStack Nodes and restarting quantum-server and quantum-plugin-openvswitch-agent services.
Manual Process
1. Create quantum public network.
quantum net-create public --router:external=True
2. We are using 192.168.221.0/24 as our external network. Note: The eth settings on the Controller Node associated to this network should not have an IP address assigned to it as it will function in bridged mode.
quantum subnet-create public 192.168.221.0/24
NOTE: If there are upstream routers/L3 switches that use HSRP/GLBP/VRRP that use low-order IP addresses such as .2 and .3 then the default subnet address assignments used by Quantum for this subnet (such as floating IP addresses and the Qrouter interface [default is .3]) will directly conflict with these real IP addresses on the upstream first hop routers. You can alter these default address assignments for the Quantum subnet by using the the "--allocation-pool" range when creating the Quantum subnet. The example that follows will use the default upstream router address of .1 (in this example the upstream HSRP address would be 192.168.221.1) and the first addresses for floating-IPs will begin at .10:
quantum subnet-create --allocation-pool start=192.168.221.10,end=192.168.221.250 public 192.168.221.0/24
3. Create the internal (data) network used for Tenants. Create additional networks and associated subnets as needed. In the example below, we are assigning specific DNS servers that will be used by the instances.
quantum net-create net10 quantum subnet-create net10 10.10.10.0/24 --dns_nameservers list=true 188.8.131.52 188.8.131.52
NOTE: Replace 184.108.40.206 22.214.171.124 with the IP address(es) of the DNS server or servers virtual machines should use.
4. Create a virtual router and an associated interface used for the subnet created in the previous step:
quantum router-create router1 quantum router-interface-add router1 <net10-subnet-uuid>
5. Connect the virtual router to your external network:
quantum router-gateway-set router1 <public-net-id>
You must create a static route on your physical router/layer-3 switch to the subnet that you define for your Tenants (quantum subnet-create command). The next-hop for the static route is the quantum router public interface. Use the following command to find the public address of your Quantum router:
quantum port-list -- --device_id <router-id> --device_owner network:router_gateway
5a. Continuing with our example, here is the required static route that MUST be configured on the external physical router/layer-3 switch. If you used the before mentioned "--allocation-pool" flag then the first address in the pool will be used for the qrouter address. So, in that example the next-hop entry for the example below would be "192.168.221.10":
ip route 10.10.10.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.221.3
6. Download an image and add it to Glance:
For Ubuntu Precise:
wget http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/precise/current/precise-server-cloudimg-amd64-disk1.img glance add name="precise-x86_64" is_public=true container_format=ovf disk_format=qcow2 < precise-server-cloudimg-amd64-disk1.img
For Cirros Cloud Image:
wget http://download.cirros-cloud.net/0.3.1/cirros-0.3.1-x86_64-disk.img glance add name="cirros-x86_64" is_public=true disk_format=qcow2 container_format=ovf < cirros-0.3.1-x86_64-disk.img
7. Create an SSH keypair and add the public key to Nova. Make sure you create a key-pair for your Network and Controller Nodes. Note: leave the passphrase empty when creating the keypair:
ssh-keygen cd /root/.ssh/ nova keypair-add --pub_key id_rsa.pub <key_name>
- Example> nova keypair-add --pub_key id_rsa.pub dkp
8. Boot an Instance (Precise image example):
quantum net-list nova boot --image precise-x86_64 --flavor m1.tiny --key_name <key_name> --nic net-id=<quantum-net10-id> <your_instance_name>
Cirros Image Example
nova boot --image cirros-x86_64 --flavor m1.tiny --key_name <key_name> --nic net-id=<quantum-net10-id> <your_instance_name>
Verify that your instance has spawned successfully:
nova show <your_instance_name>
9. Verify connectivity to Instance from the node running Quantum L3 Agent (Controller Node). Since we are using namespaces, we run the commands from the context of the qrouter using the "ip netns exec qrouter" syntax. Below, we list the qrouter to get its router-id, we connect to the qrouter and get a list of its addresses, we ping the instance from the qrouter and then we SSH into the instance from the qrouter:
quantum router-list ip netns exec qrouter-<quantum-router-id> ip addr list ip netns exec qrouter-<quantum-router-id> ping <fixed-ip-of-instance> ip netns exec qrouter-<quantum-router-id> ssh ubuntu@<fixed-ip-of-instance>
NOTE: You can get the internal fixed IP of your instance with the following command: nova show <your_instance_name>
10. Create and associate a Floating IP. You will need to get a list of the networks copy the correct IDs:
quantum net-list quantum floatingip-create <public/ext-net-id> quantum floatingip-associate <floatingip-id> <internal VM port-id>
or in a single step:
quantum net-list quantum port-list quantum floatingip-create --port_id <internal VM port-id> <public/ext-net-id>
11. Enable Ping and SSH to Instances:
nova secgroup-add-rule default icmp -1 -1 0.0.0.0/0 nova secgroup-add-rule default tcp 22 22 0.0.0.0/0
12. Ping and SSH to your Instances from an external host.
Using Scripts to Setup a Test Quantum Network and Launch Instances
A "quick" way to get a similar environment to the one listed above running is to use the scripted quantum tests.
Clone the test repository:
git clone https://github.com/CiscoSystems/quantum-l3-test
Then follow the instructions in the README.md or follow these steps:
There are a few assumptions being made in this script:
- The script creates keys and places them in the /root/.ssh/ path therefore we are assuming you are running this script as root. If you are not running as 'root' then you need to change the path in the 'create_vm' file for the ssh-keygen line.
- If you have existing files in the /root/.ssh/ path then the script will see them and prompt you to overwrite. If you do not select to overwrite the existing keys then you may encounter a "permissions denied" error when SSH'ing into the test instance. If this happens then ensure that the key being referenced during the nova keypair-add step in the 'create_vm' script is correct.
1. cd into the quantum-l3-test directory you just cloned:
cd quantum-l3-test
2) Run: ./create_vm this will run net_setup on its own
3) You will be prompted to enter your specific network values for the public/private networks as well as altering the default path where the Ubuntu Precise image is downloaded from (i.e. your own local mirror).
4) You should be able to log into the instance:
ssh ubuntu@{fixed or floating ip of instance}
To reset the Quantum settings created by the script and relaunch the test VM from scratch:
./reset ./create_vm

Xbox Media Center (XBMC)
Xbox Media Center (XBMC)[1] is a feature-rich open source media player for the Xbox -- a software program which plays video, music and displays pictures/images from the Xbox DVD-ROM drive, built-in harddisk drive, local-area-network or the internet. XBMC is the successor to Xbox Media Player (XBMP) (XBMP). XBMC is a complete rewrite of XBMP by the same developer-team. XBMC was publicly announced in October 2003.
XBMC can play media from CD/DVD media using the Xbox's built-in DVD-ROM drive. It can also play media from the Xbox's built-in harddisk-drive, stream it over an SMB/SAMBA/CIFS share (Windows File-Sharing), Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) share, XBMSP (XBox Media Stream Protocol) share, or stream iTunes-shares via DAAP. XBMC takes advantage of the Xbox ethernet-network-port and broadband internet if available, using the IMDb to obtain thumbnails and reviews on movies, CDDB (via FreeDB) for Audio-CD track-listings) and album-thumbnails via AMG, stream internet-video-streams, and play internet-radio-stations (such as SHOUTcast). XBMC also includes the option to submit music usage statistics to Audioscrobbler and Last.fm, it has music/video-playlist and picture/image-slideshow functions, a weather-forecast (via Weather.com) and MP3+CDG karaoke function, plus many audio-visualizations. XBMC can also upconvert all 480p/576p standard-resolution videos and output them to 720p or 1080i HDTV-resolutions. In addition is a frontend for an Xbox Live alternative (called "XLink Kai") integrated, enabling you to control the engine running separately and play system-link/LAN-enabled Xbox games online without leaving your television.
Running XBMC
XBMC requires a modchip[2] or softmod[3] to run. For the software exploit you can use a USB Thumbdrive instead of the Action Replay device. [4][5][6] The T3CH distribution seems the most stable.[7]
There are four alternatives for streaming media from the LinkStation to the XBMC[8]
Using Samba
Windows File Sharing (SMB/SAMBA/CIFS) is the most capable method of sharing media. It is is capable of streaming all types of media and gives the option of sharing individual folders or entire drives, (including CD/DVD-ROM drives).
UPnP Sharing
XBMC also supports UPnP[9] (short for "Universal Plug and Play") shares. This is an extremely easy, user-friendly way to stream your media over your network. Like SMB/SAMBA/CIFS it is capable of streaming all types of media and gives the option of sharing individual folders or entire drives. Note that you must be using an XBMC build from 10th of July 2006 or newer in order to use this functionality.
- TwonkyVision UPnP MediaServer
- GMediaServer - GNU UPnP media server (MIPSel)
- Ushare - UPnP Media Server for Linux
- MediaTomb - Free UPnP MediaServer
- DLNA compliant Mediabolic Mediaserver in LinkStation HS
The XBMS Protocol (ccxstream)
XBMSP (XBox Media Stream Protocol) or XBMS for short is another way of sharing media, supposedy it is faster than Samba. It is capable of streaming all types of media and gives the option of sharing individual folders or entire drives. XBMS is very bandwith efficient and it is a routable network-protocol which means that it is also ideal if you wish to stream over the internet, (just make sure you open the TCP/IP network-port 1400 in your firewalls on both both the server-side and the client side). For linux XBMSP support is provided by ccXStream.[10] Once you install ccXStream on your LinkStation all you have to do is configure your XMBC to use the media share.[11]
iTunes (DAAP)
XBMC has the ability to stream audio files that you set up to share through ITunes. This method is extremely easy to set up and configure, although it is limited to audio files. It will not allow you to share videos, photos or other types of media. It also does not allow you to share entire folders or drives. The Linux implementation of this protocol (previously called Mt-dappd) is Firefly.
Xlink Kai
Xlink is a method (developed by Team-XLink) of online-gaming whereby system-link enabled Xbox games can be 'tricked' into being played across the internet instead of a normal LAN (Local Area Network).

I recently had a brief conversation with Ronald Coase.
"I'm 101 at the moment," he told me. "I get older by the minute."
Coase is a legend in economics. He won the Nobel prize. He has a theorem named after him. But China's rapid emergence as a global economic power — one of the most important developments of the past generation — took him completely by surprise.
"I thought it would take 100 years, if not more," Coase said.
It seemed striking that an economic legend could be so wrong about such an important subject. I asked Coase what he made of this.
"I've been wrong so often I don't find it extraordinary at all," he said.
Coase just co-wrote a new book. It's called "How China Became Capitalist."
From NPR News, this is ALL THINGS CONSIDERED. I'm Audie Cornish.
And I'm Melissa Block. Ronald Coase is the oldest living winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics. He's been alive for more than a century, had a profound effect on how we think about the field and he's found the time and energy to write a new book. David Kestenbaum with our Planet Money team spoke with him about it.
DAVID KESTENBAUM, BYLINE: Setting up the interview with Professor Coase took a little while. We emailed our request to his assistant, who prints out his emails for him to read and we got the OK for a brief conversation.
RONALD COASE: I'm ready.
KESTENBAUM: We talked on the phone.
COASE: My name is Ronald Coase. I'm a professor at the University of Chicago.
KESTENBAUM: May I ask your age?
COASE: I'm 101 at the moment. I get older by the minute.
KESTENBAUM: Coase is a legend in economics. He has a theorem named after him, which has to do with the importance of property rights, and he also famously weighed in on a debate centering on lighthouses. In the textbooks, lighthouses are sometimes cited as classic examples of what's called a public good, something the government needs to provide because the private market won't do it on its own. And what businessman would build a lighthouse? How would you charge anyone for using it?
Clearly, the government needs to provide lighthouses, right? Actually, no, says Coase. He published a paper in 1974. Turns out, there used to be a lot of private lighthouses.
COASE: I found, in England, lighthouses were financed by the ships that benefited from the lighthouse. For 200 years, it was a private system.
KESTENBAUM: Coase says the lighthouse owners just charged boats when they came into port and this is one thing Coase says he's learned in 101 years. Life doesn't fit into neat little boxes.
Is there anything in the world you would consider a public good?
COASE: I don't know. I can't think of anything. Oh, yes, I can. The provision of the Army is something which I think the government can provide, on the whole, better than leaving it to private enterprise.
KESTENBAUM: Can you think of anything else that definitely falls in that category?
COASE: Not in the moment.
KESTENBAUM: Will you let me know if you do?
COASE: I will.
KESTENBAUM: Coase has lived through the Great Depression. He was alive when we were on the gold standard. You could ask him about anything, but his assistant said he wanted to talk about his new book, which describes the sudden explosion of capitalism in China. Coase says this historic event completely took him by surprise, took almost everyone by surprise.
COASE: I thought it would take 100 years, if not more.
KESTENBAUM: What does that teach us that we were all wrong about this feat?
COASE: I don't know. I've been wrong so often, I don't find it extraordinary at all.
KESTENBAUM: Coase says he does think he's been more right than wrong over the years, which is probably the most any of us can hope for. With that, our time was up.
Thank you so much for taking the time to do this.
KESTENBAUM: I'm David Kestenbaum, NPR News. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

ADAMS TWP — A teenager from the Mars Home for Youth is jailed on felony and other charges stemming from the weekend attack of two staff members and two other residents at the facility on Route 228.
Matthew Fronius, 18, of Connellsville, Fayette County, tried to run away after the assault Friday night, but he was caught a short time later.
Fronius was arraigned on three counts of aggravated assault, four counts each of simple assault and harassment, and a charge of disorderly conduct. He was placed in the Butler County Prison on $25,000 bail following arraignment.
Police said they were called to the facility for troubled teens about 8:40 p.m. after Fronius allegedly punched a pair of staffers and two other youths there.
The staff members — 22 and 25 years old — and the residents — 14 and 17 years old — were hit in the face, Adams Township Police Chief Bill Westerman said today.
It was not immediately known if any of the victims were taken to the hospital.
Westerman said Fronius took off running after the fracas with other staff members chasing him. He didn't get far.
Police said he was caught on Route 228 near Brickyard Road, just 150 yards from the facility.

Tuesday, December 04, 2012 - Gregor and Anton - FULL CONTACT
Latest Sets at WilliamHiggins.com
Gregor Bortel is laying on the bed in his underwear, feeling himself. He pulls his hard cock out of his underwear and strokes it. As the camera zooms out we see that Anton Vavro is feeling himself as well. Gregor moves towards him and licks the shaft of Anton's cock, then takes the head in his mouth and starts to suck it. That cock is soon very hard under the ministrations of Gregor's mouth. With Anton's hand of the back of his head Gregor's mouth works the cock very well. Then he stands up and drops his underwear so that Anoton can suck him. Gregor fucks his cock in and out of Anton's mouth, reaching over to feel his ass. Soon he moves round and starts to rim that hot ass. His tongue laps as the hairy hole and then a finger starts to probe it. Gregor loosens the hole nicely with his finger before standing up and sliding his hard cock into the open hole. Anton moans as he feels his ass being taken by that dick. Gregor fucks it with nice long strokes. Anton takes it very well and soon they change positions so that Anton can sit down on the cock and ride it. His ass slides up and down on that rock hard pole, taking it all deep in his ass. Moving to missionary position Gregor shoves his dick inside again and fuck Anton hard and fast. Back to doggy and that dick really works Anton's hole as he wanks his cock until he shoots his load all over the bed. Gregor is ready to cum as well and moves up to Anton's face to drop his creamy load all over it. Then he bends down so that they can bring the scene to a very nice ending, by kissing each other.
Filip Husak is a really great looking guy who came in for a massage. He arrives in just his underwear and stands so that we can inspect him. Removing the underwear we see Filip in all his glory before he climbs onto the massage table. The masseur arrives and gets to work. He oils Filips back, massaging it all over, with his fingers getting into the muscles. He works down the body, and starts on Filips legs, with the oil coating them as the hands work well. Then onto Filips feet as well before moving up to his ass. That ass looks very good and the hand massage it, spreading the cheeks so that we can see into the hairy crack. A vibrator appears and teases the hole. Then Filip moves up onto his knees and the vibrator slides up and down the ass crack, as the masseur also takes hold of the cock. Really teasing the hole, he wanks on the cock, getting it rock hard. That cock is to good to ignore, so Filip is turned over to lie on his back, with that cock easily available. The masseur is eager to wank it, and grabs a hold of that dick and strokes it. Building up the speed he works that cock until it shoots a nice creamy load all over Filip's belly. Filip is a great sport and gave us a very nice video with a great pop shot.
Mario Barol is from Slovakia. He is aged 22 and is currently unemployed. Mario likes sports, boxing and fitness. What a great looking guy he is. After a very good interview, in English Mario gets to work. His hands begin to feel his massive body, as his hips are writhing. Lifting the tee-shirt we see a perfectly muscled abdomen. Then Mario removes the tee-shirt completely and his entire upper body is in view. What a great site it is too. As he moves his body Mario's hands grab at his groin. He opens the jeans and a very nice cock flops out, with a pair of rather large balls. Mario wanks on the cock, getting it rock hard, so it points towards the ceiling, the balls dangling delicately below. He poses, flexing his muscles as that cock stands proud. Next Mario removes his jeans, showing us his heavily muscled thighs. Turning around he then shows his ass,flexing some more so we can see the back muscles. Mario bends forward and sticks his ass towards us, the cheeks spreading very nicely. With his hard cock pushed back between his legs we have a great view of it, and that tight hole. That ass looks wonderful and the hole seems to wink at us a bit. Mario lays on the floor and we see his ass again, but with that hot cock in full view too. Then he starts wanking again, shooting a big load all over his stomach before going off for a well deserved shower.
Adam Toula is aged 18 and lives in Opava. He is a student who enjoys his martial arts, fitness and Thai boxing. What a very handsome guy Adam is, and with a great body too. Clearly his time in the gym has worked well. We see him in his tee shirt and short jeans, as he poses for the camera. Quickly the tee shirt comes off to show that fabulous chest. He knows how good he looks and poses for the camera. As the jeans are lowered we see that gorgeous bubble butt. Then Adam turns and lowers the jeans more to show his flaccid cock and very low hanging balls too. As Adam turns and bends over to show his ass we get a view which really shows how low the balls hang. Then he uses his hands to spread his cheeks, revealing a tight pucker hole. Adam then goes through a series of poses, both standing and on his back, to make sure we see every inch of that lovely body. He also teases his ass with a dildo which, maybe, is a prelude of what is to come in his erotic video. Adam also gives us some great shots of his cock fully erect as well as some more of that ass with the hole opened up a bit. This is a lovely shoot from a really great looking guy.

Having surpassed legendary Hendersonville High football coach Joe Hunt in all-time wins this season with 117, current HHS head football coach B.J. Laughter had the spotlight on him at the 47th Kiwanis All Star awards banquet Thursday at The Chariot.
Having surpassed legendary Hendersonville High football coach Joe Hunt in all-time wins this season with 117, current HHS head football coach B.J. Laughter had the spotlight on him at the 47th Kiwanis All Star awards banquet Thursday at The Chariot.
Kiwanis Sports and Recreation Committee member Richard Rhodes, who spent many years announcing Hendersonville's games on the airwaves of WHKP, introduced Laughter as the 2012 recipient of the Glenn C. Marlow Athletic Achievement Award.
"This was created to be the most prestigious award that can be given by the club to anyone outside the club," Rhodes said. "B.J. has been a role model, a father figure, a counselor and an advocate for many young men in this county who do not have a positive influence."
Dot Marlow, the widow of Glenn C. Marlow, came up to present the award to Laughter.
"I can't tell you what an honor it is to present this to B.J.," Marlow said. "He has been such a wonderful teacher, coach and role model for students here in Henderson County. He is just the type of educator Glenn Marlow would love to see in the system."
The 14 recipient of the award, B.J. Laughter then took the stage alongside his wife, Amy Laughter, following a standing ovation from the Kiwanis members, principals, coaches, parents and student-athletes present.
"When I look at the list of previews names who have won this award, I'm really at a loss for words," Laughter said following a standing ovation. "I don't feel worthy to be on it, so it's humbling and I appreciate it."
To start the luncheon, 43 Henderson County varsity student-athletes were honored by having their names called and statistics of their standout seasons read about them.
Those athletes represented the four county schools in the sports of volleyball, girls golf, girls tennis, boys and girls cross country and boys soccer. Two all-stars in cross country, Hendersonville's Elizabeth Lackey and West Henderson's Angela Gross, were the only athletes to attain four-year all-star status.
Four athletes were honored for being all-stars for three straight years: Hendersonville's Hailey Cook (volleyball) and Allea Hawkins (golf), and West Henderson's top two girls golfers, Chandler Danielson and Payton Culler.
Cook took the stage four times during the ceremony — for volleyball and then special recognitions for her seven 1-A state titles in both indoor and outdoor track and field, for being named the 1-A state title volleyball match MVP and then she stood with the rest of the state championship Lady Bearcat volleyball team for winning the school's 10th title in the sport this season.
East Henderson sophomore cross country runner Tanis Baldwin also received special recognition for winning the cross country 3-A individual state title this year with a blazing time of 15:28. His coach, Justin McKenzie, was also recognized.

Treatment of Heroin and Cocaine With Methadone Maintenance and Contingency Management
|The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been evaluated by the U.S. Federal Government. Read our disclaimer for details.
|ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00292110
Recruitment Status : Completed
First Posted : February 15, 2006
Last Update Posted : January 15, 2019

- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
- The treatment of addiction often hinges on preventing relapse into drug-using behaviors, which occurs at high rates even after prolonged abstinence. Some methadone patients continue to abuse cocaine and heroin during treatment, even with extensive psychosocial services. More research is needed to look at the results from earlier studies of continued drug use during methadone treatment, focusing on the results of fixed vs. flexible doses of methadone to reduce the likelihood of continued drug use and the role of monetary vouchers as an incentive to continue abstinence from illicit substances.
- To determine if the combination of flexible methadone dosing and voucher-based contingency management can improve rates of abstinence from heroin and cocaine.
- Individuals between 18 and 65 years of age or older who are dependent on opioids (cocaine and/or heroin).
- The study will last 40 weeks. After the initial screening, participants will receive daily methadone and weekly drug counseling sessions that will continue throughout the study.
- After 6 weeks of methadone treatment, participants who continue to use heroin and cocaine will be randomized to one of four groups for 16 weeks of study. Each group will receive a flexible or fixed dose of methadone, and one of two contingency management conditions.
- Flexible-dose participants will receive individualized dose increases, based on drug use and withdrawal. Fixed-dose participants will be set at a specific dose of methadone that will not be changed.
- The two contingency management conditions will be monetary vouchers given for regular cocaine-negative urine samples, or vouchers independent of urine cocaine screen results.
- After the study phase, participants will have 10 weeks of standard individual counseling and stable doses of methadone. Urine samples will continue to be collected, but no vouchers will be given.
- At the end of the study, participants will have the choice of transferring to a community clinic or undergoing a 10-week taper from methadone.

|Phase 1
Scientific goals. The primary goal is to determine if simultaneous abstinence from heroin and cocaine can be elicited by combining two approaches: flexible methadone dosing and voucher-based CM. Secondary goals include: 1) comparing saliva and plasma levels of methadone, cortisol, and prolactin as predictors of treatment outcome; and 2) evaluating the impact of methadone maintenance on renal function, lipid profile, and cardiac function.
Methods. During an initial 6-week baseline phase, cocaine-abusing opioid-dependent outpatient participants (300 enrolled; 180 evaluable) will be stabilized on methadone 70 mg/day. At the end of baseline, participants who continue to use heroin and cocaine will be randomized to one of two dosing regimens and one of two CM conditions. In the flexible-dose regimen, participants will receive individualized dose increases (15 mg/day) to a maximum of 190 mg /day, based on heroin use and withdrawal. In the fixed-dose regimen, participants methadone dose will be increased to 100 mg/day and remain fixed there. Dose-group assignment will be double-blind: investigators will determine participants individualized dose increases, but only the pharmacists will know which participants actually receive them. The two CM conditions will be: vouchers contingent on cocaine-negative urine specimens, or noncontingent vouchers (i.e., vouchers independent of urine cocaine screen results). The main outcome measure will be the percentage of urines simultaneously negative for both cocaine and illicit opiates during treatment. For the concurrently run pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic portion, saliva and blood samples will be taken at regular intervals to determine levels of methadone, cortisol, and prolactin as predictors of treatment outcome. For the concurrently run medical-outcomes portion, urine (renal function), blood (lipid profile), and ECGs (cardiac function),will be obtained at set intervals.
Hypothesis. Flexible methadone dosing and voucher-based CM will be safe and result in greater simultaneous abstinence from heroin and cocaine, higher treatment retention, and higher health-related QOL when compared to fixed methadone dosing and the absence of CM.
Benefits. Participants will receive methadone, counseling, and some medical care at no charge. The methadone and voucher interventions are likely to reduce participants' use of heroin and cocaine. Counseling will include management of HIV risk behaviors. The study incorporates participant safety monitoring and will provide information relevant to improving the health and safety of community methadone-maintenance patients. The pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic part of the study does not benefit participants directly, but may lead to the development of more useful and less invasive drug-monitoring methods.
Risks. Participants may experience side effects from methadone, discomfort during methadone withdrawal, and discomfort (or, rarely syncope) from blood draws.

Otto Frank and his brothers are called up to fight on the Western Front for the German army. Their mother and sister volunteer to work in a Frankfurt military hospital. All survive this destructive conflict which ultimately results in another world war.
"I hope we can see each other at home when peace prevails. This cannot last much longer, surely?"
Otto Frank
"The lamps are going out all over Europe. We shall not see them lit again in our time."
Sir Edward Grey, British Foreign Secretary
"…It fell to Otto to manage the family bank in the period of chaos that marked the first year after Peace was signed…"
Milly Stanfield
"My father, the most precious father I've ever seen, didn't marry my mother until he was thirty-six and she was twenty-five."
Anne Frank
"I don't like it. I don't know what's going to happen, I'm scared of the right."
In a world on the brink of economic crisis Anne Frank is born in Frankfurt am Main, Germany on 12 June 1929. Her sister Margot is 3 years old.
"Those years on Marbachweg were among our best times."
Edith Frank
Hitler comes to power. Otto and Edith Frank are convinced that they will be safe in Amsterdam from the antisemitism in Nazi Germany. Otto establishes his business, the children go to school, life resumes a normality as Europe rumbles towards war.
"Because we're Jewish, my father emigrated to Holland in 1933."
"Even if settling in is difficult, our chief concern remains just getting by, and unfortunately, that is becoming more and more difficult in Holland."
May 1940, Germany invades The Netherlands, Belgium and France. Registration of the Jews is the first step taken in isolating them. As a Jew, Otto is no longer allowed to own a business, so he appoints Jo Kleiman as director.
"After May 1940 the good times were few and far between: first there was the war, then the capitulation and then the arrival of the Germans, which is when the trouble started for the Jews."
Margot's call up to report for work duty speeds up plans to go into hiding in Otto's business premises. His employees are responsible for the family's and their friends' well being in the secret annex. Allied gains give those in hiding hope of liberation.
"Not being able to go outside upsets me more than I can say, and I'm terrified our hiding place will be discovered and that we'll be shot."
"The Carlton Hotel has been destroyed. Two British planes loaded with firebombs landed right on top of the German Officers' Club."
"…nothing's worse than being caught."
"There is no doubt that this is probably the greatest and most horrible single crime ever committed in the whole history of the world."
Winston Churchill
The people in hiding are all arrested and deported to extermination camps. Kleiman and Kugler are punished with imprisonment for their role as helpers while Miep and Bep remain behind and wait.
"When the Gestapo came in with their guns, that was the end of everything."
Germany surrenders, the war ends and Europe is free but in ruins. Otto Frank returns to Amsterdam, picks up the threads of his life and mourns for his family. He is not the only one, gradually the scale of the mass murder of the Jews becomes clear.
"They were good people. We did not care if they were communists or not. We were not concerned with politics; we were concerned about our liberation."
"We looked at each other. There were no words. He was thin, but he'd always been thin. He carried a little bundle. My eyes swam. My heart melted. Suddenly, I was afraid to know more. I didn't want to know what had happened. I knew I would not ask."
Miep Gies
"I realize the tragic significance of the atomic bomb... It is an awful responsibility... We thank God that it has come to us, instead of to our enemies; and we pray that He may guide us to use it in His ways and for His purposes."
US President Harry S. Truman
"I was overwhelmed by painful memories. It was a revelation for me. Before my eyes appeared a completely different Anne than the daughter I had lost."
Otto Frank fulfills Anne's wish and publishes the diary. Translated into many languages and adapted for the stage her story reaches and touches people all over the world.
"If she had been here, Anne would have been so proud."
"The destiny of human rights is in the hands of all our citizens in all our communities."
Eleanor Roosevelt
"One of the wisest and most moving commentaries on war and its impact on human beings that I have ever read."
"This play is a part of my life … Therefore it is impossible for me to come and see it."
The secret annex is crumbling and deserted but the Anne Frank House is founded to save it from demolition. The film "Diary of Anne Frank" by George Stevens receives a number of Oscars and makes Anne Frank internationally better known. European cooperation leads to the formation of the EEC.
"The restoration of the house is now in full progress and we hope that the Secret Annex will be open for visitors this summer."
"To create Europe is to create peace."
Jean Monnet
"As a film, Anne Frank's diary has many fine moments. But for those who neither know the diary itself nor the play, they will find the film exceptionally moving."
Alex Burnham
The Secret Annex where Anne Frank wrote her diary becomes a museum. It attracts a huge amount of interest as Anne and her diary become known worldwide and the man responsible for the arrest of those in hiding is discovered.
"I believe that the Secret Annex should become a meeting place, and a place for reflection and inspiration as well as a museum."
"Young people especially always want to know how these terrible things could ever have happened. I answer them as well as I can."
"Killing is not the worst. I think he merited killing, but whether he should have been is another matter. I am not an adherent of killing."
"Anne Frank became a symbol of the million murdered children, and I tell it to the father of Anne Frank, the diary of his daughter had a bigger impact than the Nuremberg trial."
Simon Wiesenthal
"The spiritual value of the house is very great. (...) But more must be achieved. It is not enough that people are moved and come to think about all the terrible events. We must do more."
Growing visitor numbers result in the second but only major renovation to close the museum. This period sees the first international Anne Frank exhibition and is marked by Otto Frank's death.
"The Anne Frank House must remain open. As a warning against dictatorship, discrimination, terror."
Rabbi Awraham Soetendorp
"I think it is not only important that people go to the Anne Frank House to see the secret annex, but also that they are helped to realise that people are also persecuted today because of their race, religion or political convictions."
A critical edition of the diary puts to rest allegations of forgery. The museum undergoes more renovation to serve ever growing public interest.
"Attacks on the authenticity of the diary 'unfortunately' make publication necessary."
Sietse van der Hoek - Dutch newspaper de Volkskrant
"The restored entries, constituting, according to the publisher, 30 percent more material, do not alter our basic sense of Anne Frank, but they do give greater texture and nuance -- and punch -- to some of the hallmark concerns of the diary."
Patricia Hampl - The New York Times
A lengthy project completely renews the Anne Frank House and the museum is officially opened by Queen Beatrix of The Netherlands.
"We almost expect to see the people in hiding wandering through the house on Sundays and outside of weekly working hours!"
Professor Temminck Groll, Ph.D
"It will be impossible to reconstruct the actual events. Of course that is regrettable, because we would naturally have liked to unmask the culprit(s) in order to complete this part of the Anne Frank story."
From the report of the Netherlands Institute for War Documentation
The Anne Frank House celebrates its 50th anniversary. A new virtual museum allows people from all over the world to 'visit' online. Miep Gies dies aged 100. The Anne Frank tree falls during a summer storm.
"For half a century now, the memory of Anne Frank is as solid as the house that bears her name."
Professor Abram de Swaan
Impressive! I went to visit the house in September last year, and this 3D visit brought the house back to mind, exactly how it was.
A visitor of The Secret Annex Online

It was just a few weeks ago that I felt we were positioned to just go BPA 1-7. Suddenly, we've lost our #1 pass rusher and RW is getting sacked (much more than we'd like).
I had hopes of taking a DT (Jenkins) and a wideout (or the TE from ND) early. Now I'm not so sure. Has this injury to Clemons caused any of you to re-think the 2013 draft. What did you come up with?
BTW, It would be nice to have another WR, but we look pretty good at the position right now, IMO. Especially with Miller getting more and more freed up (but that could be contributing to the sack problem as well).

Difference between revisions of "Grand Cayman"
Revision as of 03:14, 24 May 2012
Grand Cayman, shaped like a giant claw "pinching" the North Sound, is the largest of the three islands in the Cayman Islands, a rich territory of the U.K. George Town, at the southwest "knuckle" of Grand Cayman, is the capital of the Cayman Islands and its largest city. Grand Cayman's Seven Mile beach, on the west coast north of George Town, is one of the finest beaches in the world.
Since 1972 the Cayman Islands has its own currency, whose basic unit is the dollar, issued in notes with denominations of CI$100, 50, 25, 10, 5 and 1 and coins valued at 25 cents, 10, 5 and 1 cent. The CI dollar has a fixed exchange rate with the US dollar of CI$1 equals US$1.25. Or, the US dollar equals CI $.80.
Get in
By plane
Owen Roberts International Airport (IATA: GCM) (ICAO: MWCR), Airport information: 345-949-5252 or +1 345 949-7811, Flight information: 345-949-7811. Located 2.5 km (1.5 mi) east of George Town. The airport has one runway and one terminal. Taxis are easily available with fixed rates to all island areas. Hotels are not allowed courtesy shuttles. They are planning to expand the airport. So far all they have improved is the parking lot. Note that it can take an hour to get through security and Immigration even though the part of the line you see from outside looks short. Taxis to the Seven Mile Beach hotels are $19.75. To save money you could take the taxis to the George Town bus depot and ride Bus 1 or 2 (they will guide you to the correct bus) for $2.50 per person. They are the same Toyota vans.
By boat
Cruise ships anchor offshore and tender passengers to the harbor dock by downtown George Town. George Town is a very popular port of call and is included by many cruise lines in "Western Caribbean" itineraries.
Get around
By bus
By vehicle
Car rentals are readily available. You must be 21 years old to rent a car. Driving is on the left hand side of the road and seatbelt use is mandatory. Visitors must get a temporary driver's license from the police station or car rental agency. This is obtained by showing a valid drivers license from their home state, county or parish and paying a US$7.50 fee.
Mopeds and scooter rentals are available on Grand Cayman and Cayman Brac. Helmet use is required. Usual daily rate is US$25 for helmet and permit.
The island's most famous excursion is to Stingray City, where boatloads of tourists debark at nearby Stingray Sandbar and squeal nervously while adjusting to the presence of large rays, which they can feed and "pet" while snorkeling in waist-deep water. Once fed, the rays will placidly let you do just about anything to them, including being lifted up to pose for photos while jetting water out of their mouths.
- Across from Boatswain's Beach is Dolphin Discovery where people are allowed to swim with dolphins <3 -
Horseback Riding
Any restaurant food can be expensive on Grand Caymen, even for fast-food.
Lodging is expensive on Grand Cayman.
Get out
Day trips to Little Cayman or Cayman Brac are possible.
