I am an Associate Software Developer for Liberty Mutual Insurance Company in Dover, NH. I am a member of the Personal Market Architecture Team, and have been with the team since I joined Liberty. When I first joined, I worked on our Workflow application. It is a C++ application and uses DB2. We transitioned that application to a new team, and I moved on to some proof of concept work. I researched some different technologies and products that Personal Market was interested in deploying. Most recently I have been doing some Enterprise Architecture work for Personal Markets, focusing on TOGAF methodology and creating a Technical Reference Model and Architecture Continuum for Personal Market. Soon I will be transitioning to the Internet team where I will be doing web development for www.libertymutual.com and java programming for one of the applications that our business users rely on for quoting and binding. I am currently pursuing a Master's Degree in Computer Science through Boston University. Right now I am taking an Operating Systems course, for which I am creating a Beowulf cluster (~15 nodes total).
My Saint Michael's education certainly prepared me to enter the real world. Not only did it teach me great problem solving skills, but it provided me with hands-on experience that was applicable in real world situations. Saint Michael's provided an excellent learning environment, as well as a diverse social environment. I am thankful to have met so many wonderful professors, friends, and students from around the world at Saint Michael's.
I am a Technical Analyst at ESRI (Environmental Systems Research Institute) in Vienna, Virginia. The company is headquartered in Redlands, CA and I am in the Washington, D.C. Regional Office. ESRI is the forerunner in GIS (Geographical Information Systems). Being new to the field and not being comfortable with their impressive software suite, I have been devoting a significant amount of time so far to taking training courses both in a classroom environment as well as on my own through their virtual campus program. I am becoming much more comfortable with geoprocessing and the GIS industry in general. In addition to training, I have been working on maintaining and updating documentation to guide me in learning the project focused on by my team. ESRI is government contracted so I am in the process of applying for a security clearance as well.
My education at Saint Michael's College has greatly contributed to my success in industry in several ways. Firstly, the knowledge gained in the computer science courses prepared me for a career in the software industry. During my interview I was asked programming questions and software design questions in addition to typical interview questions. The Software Engineering course has proven to be a key to my success because ESRI develops their projects using the spiral model, which I learned about in that course. Also, the Saint Michael's College Student Resource Center provided countless services to assist me in preparing my resume and cover letter as well as offering advice and practice for interviews. Additionally, being a student at Saint Michael's College prepared me for life by allowing me to build relationships with the faculty, staff, and fellow students I was surrounded by. This experience has taught me how to be a better person and how to have relationships with those around me. Lastly, the guidance, advice, and friendships formed at St. Michael's don't end at graduation. My wonderful and ever-helpful Computer Science professors were there the summer after I graduated to guide me through interviews as well as salary and benefit negotiations. The best part is that it doesn't stop there. They continue to be a guide for me and make themselves available as much as possible because I believe they really are committed to giving their students the tools they need to succeed in life.
I am currently a Software Engineer at Raytheon in Tewksbury, MA. I am working on a small team that develops a tool repository web application. This involves working with customers to gather requirements, in addition to designing, coding and testing the application. The application uses a combination of Perl, XSLT, CSS, XML and SQL, which I have been able to learn quickly thanks to my CS classes. I am also taking night classes in pursuit of a Masters in Information Technology Management degree from Brandeis.
Although I do not work with any of the programming languages that I learned at Saint Michael's, I learned a new way of thinking that allowed me to pick up new technologies quickly. My time in the Saint Michael's Computer Science department taught me to think analytically and helps me to solve a number of complex problems. These general skills, combined with specific skills that I learned in classes such as Software Engineering and Operating Systems have contributed greatly to my success at Raytheon. In addition, the skills that I learned in liberal arts courses at Saint Michael's have been extremely useful, as there is always a need to write clear and concise documents in all aspects of Software Engineering.
I am currently a software engineer at IBM in Essex Junction, VT, working on software for the timing of computer chip designs. I have learned a lot about electrical engineering while working at IBM, since I am writing applications to automate engineering processes. My daily work ranges from program design and architecture to programming, documentation, and customer support - basically the whole software life cycle! Most of the programming I do is in Java, C, and Tcl, and I do all of my development on a Linux workstation. My favorite part of this field is the creative and collaborative problem solving aspect, so I make an effort to be a part of the design phase of a project whenever possible, rather than just coding the solution.
In my day-to-day work, I have been able to apply many of the programming skills that I learned at Saint Michael's, including Java, C, C++, and the use of Linux operating systems. Additionally, the skills I gained in the Programming Languages course prepared me to learn new languages and understand code written in a language I may not know (especially the weird IBM-internal languages!). Of equal importance, I've been able to use my software engineering skills and people skills in solving problems as part of a team, leading projects and supporting customers. The variety of responsibilities, as well as the challenge of the problems, keeps me motivated and energized about my job. I am truly grateful to the Computer Science department at Saint Michael's for providing me with the foundation for such a wonderful career.
I am currently a Network Analyst for the Burlington IBM networking department. My newest and now primary role is as a Team Lead of a virtual networking team that writes and implements configurations for networking devices across the country for the hundreds of IBM sites. As a team lead I am responsible for ensuring my team writes and implements configurations for our given sites before the change windows that they are to be implemented in. I am also responsible for writing and implementing configurations for my own site and also sites that my team has been assigned.
My Computer Science degree helped me greatly when I obtained this position. Although I only took one class on networking at Saint Michael's, my other classes served as a great background for the many responsibilities that I have. Saint Michael's not only provided me the needed technical skills for my job, but also provided me with a diverse background in many other skills that are important to a well rounded career. I am currently working on obtaining a Masters in Management in Information Technology at Champlain College. This program will help me further my career within IBM and anywhere else I choose to go.
I currently work full-time as a Software Engineer at IBM in Essex Junction, VT, while studying part-time for a Masters in Computer Science through Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute's distance education program. At IBM, I am involved in the full software life cycle from concept and planning through development, testing, delivery, and support. I work on a small team developing and supporting applications that support IBM's semiconductor manufacturing facilities here in Essex Junction and around the world. The bulk of my work is with web applications written in Java, but I am also responsible for integrating legacy back-end applications into our systems. I am constantly learning and working with new and exciting technologies such as Web Services, Ajax, Eclipse, and IBM WebSphere.
My experience at Saint Michael's prepared me to excel at both IBM and RPI. I was able to quickly become a productive member of my team at IBM and take over the role of team leader within my first three years. I use my Java programming skills every day, and the foundation that I built at Saint Michael's has allowed me to develop advanced Java, C, C++ skills with ease. All of the knowledge that was hidden away in the back of my mind came flooding back when I was challenged by RPI's difficult classes. In addition, the writing, critical thinking, presentation, and networking skills I learned both in and out of the classroom have proved to be invaluable in my personal, professional, and academic life.

MELBOURNE, Jan 13 (Reuters) - The unrelenting grind of the professional tennis tour moves back into high gear on Monday with an Australian Open shorn of Rafa Nadal and several players carrying niggling injuries into the draw.
Nadal, who battled Novak Djokovic for almost six hours before the Serb finally sealed the title last year, withdrew last month because a stomach virus was hampering his recovery from a long term injury in his creaking knees.
World number 14 John Isner joined him as absent last week when he withdrew from the Sydney International tournament due to a knee injury, while several other men's' seeds withdrew from warmup tournaments to manage their injuries.
Japan's Kei Nishikori, who made the quarter-finals at Melbourne Park last year, withdrew from the invitational Kooyong tournament with a knee injury, Juan Monaco did likewise with a hand injury, while world number eight Jo-Wilfried Tsonga withdrew from Sydney with a hamstring strain.
Tsonga, a finalist at Melbourne Park in 2008 played down any lingering issues with his injury, declaring he was good to go, while Japan Open champion Nishikori said on Sunday he was at about "90 percent" having practiced at Kooyong on Friday and Saturday.
"I played (at) Kooyong two days ago, yesterday and it was fine," Nishikori said of his recovery. "So I played three set and nothing happened yesterday, so should be okay for tomorrow."
In a strange twist, the women's side of the draw at last year's opening grand slam resembled a list of the walking wounded, though only the top-two seeds were effected this year, or least were letting on.
Women's champion Victoria Azarenka pulled out of Brisbane with an infected toe, just 30 minutes before she played Serena Williams in their semi-final, though she said she did not regret the decision and was ready to play in Melbourne.
"I don't feel any pain when I play," Azarenka said of the toe that got infected from a pedicure. "I still have to tape it, but there is no problem.
"I think I did a very good choice (to withdraw in Brisbane). I'm feeling good right now. So the only thing that I feel is that I made the right decision."
World number two Maria Sharapova also had been under an injury cloud heading into the tournament with pain around her collarbone that badly affected her preparations and had no competitive matches under her belt.
Because of her injury, the Russian was one of the first to arrive in Melbourne and instead practiced against several promising Australian juniors and played former top-five player Daniela Hantuchova on Saturday.
"I'd rather be going onto the court knowing that I'm healthy," Sharapova said after her practice match against Hantuchova. "I might be a little bit rusty, but I'll work my way through it."
"I'm experienced enough to know the adjustments I have to make in those types of circumstances."

Inno3D GTS 450 iChill Freezer Edition review
Inno3D has released the GeForce GTS 450 Freezer X Series, a graphics card based on Nvidia's GeForce GTS 450 design. The card is equipped with Inno3D's Freezer Edition dual-fan cooler, it has a custom blue color PCB and it is also factory overclocked.
Nvidia 's GeForce GTS 450 promises to deliver the DX11 price/performance in the $139 USD price category.
The card has been designed for LAN gamers and it is capable of delivering high DX11 performance with 4X antialiasing turned on at resolutions of up to 1600x1050.
The GeForce GTS 450 is based on the GF106 Fermi chip, it has 192 CUDA cores clocked at 783/1566 Mhz (Gfx/Proc clock) and 1GB/128-bit GDDR5. The GF106 GPU is smaller in size than the previous Fermi chips, it produces less heat, supports higher voltages and hopefully better overclocking performance.
The card has been designed for LAN party gamers and it has been optimized to deliver significantly higher gaming performance than rival's offerings, the AMD HD5750 and the HD5770 series.
Below are the product's specifications compared with other Fermi GPUs:
Looking at the specs, we can easily understand that the GTS 450 series are meant to be an entry-level product with less Stream (Shader) processors and an 128-bit memory interface compared with its older "brothers". Priced at $139 the card essentially replaces the GTS 250 series and competes with the ATI Raderon HD 5750 series. The product is advertised capable to have high overclocking margins, allowing many manufacturers to introduce their own GTS 450 implementations solutions with higher core/memory voltages.
Nvidia claims that for games and applications that feature tessellation -- the key feature of DX11 -- the GTS 450 is up to 65% faster than the closest competitive product. Even in last generation DX9 and DX10 games, the GTS 450 is faster by over 30%, including in the blockbuster PC title StarCraft II, Nvidia claims.
The GTS 450 also supports NVIDIA PhysX in-game effects and NVIDIA 3D Vision, for palying 3D in games, Blu-ray 3D, and photos.
- Retail package
The Inno3D GTS 450 iChiLL comes into a black box with the "Freezer X series" logo on it . The product isn't supposed to cost much more than the generic GTS 450 series cards.
The package includes the Inno3D GTS 450 iChiLL graphics card, a printed manual, an installation disc, power cable, DVI adapter and a Starcraft promotion card.
The Inno3D GTS 450 iChill Freezer Edition has a custom blue-colored PCB and a dual fan gpu cooler, which is supposed to be very silent. The cooler uses Inno3D's DTH (Direct Touch Heatpipe) technology where the heatpipe is contacted with the GPU directly. The card measures around 23cm.
The Inno3D GTS 450 iChill Freezer Edition has also gold-plated dual DVI-D ports and a mini-HDMI port for high-definition material. The HDMI v1.4 supports xvYCC, Deep color and 7.1 digital
surround sound and of course 3D output with the NVIDIA 3D Vision technology. The card requires only one PCI-e power cable, meaning it will work with low- powered power supply units..
After installing the graphics card we can find more
details about its main features and specifications. The GPU core runs
at 820MHz, memory at 950MHz while Shaders at 1640MHz. As you can see the card is slightly overclocked compared over the stock 783/ 902/1566 frequencies:

Hello everyone, I am just wondering if there is anyone out there who knows the in's and out's of obtaining a German passport. I am a Canadian citizen currently teaching in Poland, but I would like to end up in Germany or Italy. My grandfather was born and raised in Germany. Like other countries, does one have the ability to get a German passport based solely on the fact that their grandfather was born there? How wonderful it would be to get a German passport because as a Canadian citizen I appear to have several potential job doors closed because I don't have an EU passport. Please, somebody direct me to a site that I can get adequate info. The Canadian Embassy in Germany website doesn't appear to tell me much of anything. I look forward to all of your responses. Thank you. -Zach Back to top expatbenJoined: 05 Apr 2005Posts: 214Location: UK...soon Canada though Posted: Fri Jan 20, 2006 10:41 am Post subject: Gotta be honest and say no idea.

Here's my situation as it seems similar to yours: My grandfather was born in Germany and moved the US before the war. He became a US citizen in 1945, five years before my dad was born (in the US), thus, my grandpa lost his German citizenship and it was not passed down to my dad, and it doesn't skip generations. If he had obtained his US citizenship after my dad was born then there might have been a possibility for me to get a German passport, and even after this, it gets complicated...all of this according the German conslulate in LA. I even tried "pretending" that I didn't know if he became a US citizen, but it didn't matter, you have to prove that he didn't. They were nice over the phone, so I imagine they've dealt w/this sort of thing before, so it's worth a phone call if you think you have a chance.[/quote] Back to top poroJoined: 04 Oct 2004Posts: 274 Posted: Mon Feb 20, 2006 6:33 pm Post subject: Zach, it's not clear to me why an employer would require you to be an EU citizen (unless it's the EU itself, of course).

Most western members have much tougher hiring laws. For example, Poland, the Czech Rep, and the other 'new' states still legally accept non-EU nationals, but the Netherlands is basically absolutely closed, and Italy, France, and Spain are very difficult to get into legally. Basically, yes, non-EU citizens are excluded from the start in some countries, but not in others.

Germany's aversion to dual citizenship is one such example. From the Federal Foreign Office: My ancestors were German nationals. Can I get a German passport? German passports are only issued to German citizens. Having German ancestors is unfortunately not enough to attain German citizenship. Rather, your father and/or mother have to have been German citizens at the time of your birth. If you were born before 1 January 1975 and your parents were married, you only attained German citizenship if your father was German at the time of your birth or if your parents submitted a declaration by 31 December 1977 stating they wanted German citizenship for their child. http://www.auswaertiges-amt.de/www/en/aamt/buergerservice/faq/kat3/F2 Back to top Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First Job Discussion Forums Forum Index -> Germany All times are GMT Page 1 of 1 Jump to: Select a forum Where to Begin----------------General DiscussionNewbie ForumCurrent Events ForumTechnology ForumOnline Teaching Forum Africa Forums----------------General Africa Forum Asia Forums----------------CambodiaChina (Job-related Posts Only)China (Off-Topic)Hong KongIndiaIndonesiaJapanMalaysiaPhilippinesSingaporeTaiwanThailandGeneral Asia ForumVietnam Caribbean Forums----------------General Caribbean Forum Europe Forums----------------Czech RepublicFranceGermanyGreeceItalyMacedonia and the BalkansPolandRomaniaRussia & C.I.S.SpainTurkeyUkraineUnited KingdomGeneral Europe Forum Latin America Forums----------------ArgentinaBrazilChileColombiaCosta RicaMexicoMexico (off-topic)PeruGeneral Latin America Forum The Middle East Forums----------------BahrainEgyptIsraelKuwaitOmanQatarSaudi ArabiaUnited Arab EmiratesGeneral Middle East Forum North America Forums----------------General North America Forum Oceania----------------Australia/New Zealand You cannot post new topics in this forumYou cannot reply to topics in this forumYou cannot edit your posts in this forumYou cannot delete your posts in this forumYou cannot vote in polls in this forum This page is maintained by the one and only Dave Sperling.

The purpose of this manual is to further Leave No Trace skills and awareness of outdoor ethics. The Boy Scouts of America has adopted the principles of Leave No Trace, which are easy to learn and apply. As each principle is learned, it should be applied. Every outing and activity should be conducted with Leave No Trace in mind. As young people mature, we will enjoy an increasingly beautiful environment because of the impact of their training in Leave No Trace.
As members of the Boy Scouts of America, we should be good stewards of our environment through knowledgeable use of resources. This manual can serve as a major tool in our efforts to teach others the importance of our relationship with the environment. We all must take responsibility for our decisions when we use the outdoors, and we should treat the environment with respect so future generations can enjoy the outdoors as we do today.
Contact federal and state land management agencies for additional information. (Check the blue pages of your local telephone directory.) Additional resources are available on the Internet at http://www.blm.gov/education/lnt or from the Leave No Trace Web site, http://www.lnt.org; by telephoning 800-332-4100; through local land managers; and through the BSA Supply catalog.
This manual contains a variety of activities designed to teach the skills necessary to earn the Leave No Trace Awareness Award. As you review the manual you will realize how easy these lessons are to prepare. You can focus many months of weekly activities on teaching and learning Leave No Trace skills and ethics.
Use a single concept from the section called Background on the Principles of Leave No Trace one week, and the next week work on the corresponding concept from the Quick Concepts section. The Background on the Principles of Leave No Trace provides essential information required to understand Leave No Trace principles. The Quick Concepts section presents activities that require little preparation. Each activity takes only about 15 to 30 minutes. Weekly meetings can also be used to work on the merit badges needed to qualify for the award.
The Activity Plans section provides in-depth Leave No Trace activities for your monthly campout. These activities will require more preparation and will take 45 to 75 minutes to complete. Campouts may be used as Leave No Trace- related service projects.
It is also recommended that adults and youths take the opportunity to participate in other activities such as Conservation Good Turn and the William T. Hornaday Awards, and earn other awards related to conservation and our environment.

RUBINO, Silvana. Bodies, chairs, necklaces: Charlotte Perriand and Lina Bo Bardi. Cad. Pagu [online]. 2010, vol.2Selected edition, pp. 0-0. ISSN 0104-8333.
The article explores the crossroads of the trajectories of two professional women linked to the production of space: the Italian architect Lina Bo Bardi, who worked in Brazil, and the French designer Charlotte Perriand. The article begins by comparing two photographs and then investigates the performance of these two well-known professionals, their moments of exclusion and disqualification, as well as their successes, throughout their careers. As they both had long and diversified careers, we capture two moments when they produced their emblematic chairs, which they exhibited using their own bodies, albeit in a fairly anonymous way, as an ergonometric measure.
Palavras-chave : Lina Bo Bardi; Charlotte Perriand; Modernism; Domestic Space; Design.

As far as I know you are out of luck.
We have been told that the installation disk will only install in the original language and cannot be changed.
If you find out otherwise it would be good to know.
2. Re: Adobe Photoshop CS5 Language Pack en_GBAntonow72 Jul 25, 2010 2:13 PM (in response to John Joslin)
ok... well as you may know, there is a few of users, that i know, that changed the laguages of the photoshop, located on locales on the folder of photoshop cs5, C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5\Locales here is another folder named pt_BR (Menaing Portuguese_Brazil) and they simply downloaded the translation. In my case i want to change for en_GB i just wanna know, if there is only on PS CS5 That i can't change this folder.
I wanna know, if somebody using Photoshop cs5 could Upload the folder for me.
Maybe it will work.. maybe not.. This is my question.
so.. if the answer is yes, can you help me out?
Can you upload the folder?
Thank You Again

To: Antonow72
Hi, I guess you are out of luck when you need to have the EN_GB language pack unless you want a CS4 one. (I have)
BTW: I am doing language packs for CS4 and CS5. I have the EN_GB for both CS4 and CS5, however, unfortunately, that if you have installed pt_BR of Photoshop CS5, and you install a en_GB language pack directly, it will show things like:
"Additional unlicensed language packs found in the application folder. Please restart the application." error message, and when you restart it, it will revert to pt_BR.
Just a side note: Interestingly, if you have removed your original language pack (TS case is pt_BR), even if I install Spanish, Korean and English language packs, I can simply switch any of them freely without problems.
In summary: TS will have to manually delete the locales\pt_BR before installing en_GB language pack in order to have his English pack work.
As I am still working on CS5 language packs, I wont be releasing them anytime soon (Still have Photoshop, Illustrator, Contribute, Dreamweaver & Fireworks) . Please email me @ [email address deleted by host] for me to hear your request (And I will host my language packs on my blog site.)
Flash, InDesign (Inclusive of Arabic, Hebrew and Greek) and Device Central CS5 language packs are currently ready, except yet to upload them.

Dude its simple it took me a while but i got it go to the american adobe website then download a trial version of of Adobe Photoshop CS5 (or whatever it is in someone else's case) then install it when installing it should have your information otherwise enter it again and when you choose the language you should have a choice of english
email me at [email address deleted by host] if this helped
5. Re: Adobe Photoshop CS5 Language Pack en_GBSamuel_Lee Jul 27, 2011 1:55 PM (in response to JohnnyAdobePro)
No, you cant. Actually it works for trial users by just installing it on top of existing installation directory. (And I could have Asian languages and Western European languages at the same time), but if you actually buy it, then you are out of luck because the serial ties to the languages installed somehow, if I am not wrong, because the installer interface shows enter serial or install trial, where one can select the languages to install.
And who would re-download the entire few hundred to several GBs of data / installer just to install one of the language that was not installed previous? (Try Adobe Illustrator and you know what I meant)
Oh well the language packs are now ready, you may download at my page:
[url deleted by host]
6. Re: Adobe Photoshop CS5 Language Pack en_GBbellafoto71 Jun 8, 2011 8:54 PM (in response to Samuel_Lee)
Actually it does work. You have to download the trial as stated above, then in the application folder, replace the language folder with the trial folder. I replaced pt_BR with en_US. Worked like a charm.
7. Re: Adobe Photoshop CS5 Language Pack en_GBSamuel_Lee Jun 9, 2011 6:54 AM (in response to bellafoto71)
That is kind of putting English language file onto the supposedly Portugese (Or other languages) folder. Of course, one of the undesire effect is the updater comes in the wrong language.

9. Re: Adobe Photoshop CS5 Language Pack en_GBFred_Riedel Jul 26, 2011 7:39 AM (in response to simon-ar)
I found with Photoshop CS5, if I simply put the whole "locales" folder into the app folder, it will ask if you want to replace the existing one, when I said yes and then rebooted Photoshop, the new language was there. This is on a Mac. Replacing just the language plugin, it kept refusing saying an unlicensed language was there and I need to restart, and when doing so the original language was back. Replace the whole locales folder!
10. Re: Adobe Photoshop CS5 Language Pack en_GBSamuel_Lee Jul 26, 2011 8:08 PM (in response to Fred_Riedel)
Guys, let me share my experience for language pack issues in Photoshop.
You have two choices:
Both requires you to go internet and find the specific language pack, or alternatively, download trial from adobe and extract that yourself
After that,
A) Replace the content of the language pack. This is like assuming I got German language pack due to German (de_DE) working environment, but I prefer to use English (Either en_US or en_GB), then I just use my downloaded en_GB to replace the content in de_DE's locale folder. Voila! Task accomplished EXCEPT various internal programs like update message remain as German.
B) Total localization, and you get to keep two languages or more. You just add in a new folder call en_GB on the locale folder, but PS CS5 will refuse it by saying unauthorized language pack and it will revert to allowed language packs. It does NOT happen on CS4 or earlier and my conclusion is that to circumvent this issue, you need to modify the PCD.db (On Windows X64's default location: C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe PCD. X86 user just remove the bracket x86. For Mac, I am not sure.). The PCD.DB is a database file using SQLite. The exact details, it does not sound nice to open secret here. You may want to contact me for details.
11. Re: Adobe Photoshop CS5 Language Pack en_GBxulsolar Nov 27, 2011 1:41 PM (in response to Antonow72)
If you want to have the default language, close photoshop, go to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5\Locales\<Language>\Support Files (understanding that <Language> is your default language) and change the extension of the .dat file to something like .bak. For example if you .dat file is tw1408.dat change it to tw1408.bak. Open photoshop and that is it. This work for CS4 and CS5.
12. Re: Adobe Photoshop CS5 Language Pack en_GBwojdyga12 Dec 2, 2011 11:02 PM (in response to Antonow72)
I managed to sort out this little problem of the language package, If you need the English pack email me email@example.com and i will send you the file needed, All you have to do is paste into the locales folder and delete the old one.
If any one else needs drop me a email
13. Re: Adobe Photoshop CS5 Language Pack en_GBPECourtejoie Dec 3, 2011 1:05 AM (in response to Antonow72)
I don't think that changing the language is currently allowed by Photoshop's licence.
But I can understand the frustration of users, because with Bridge or Lightroom, one can change the language freely. With After Effects, one can have a localized version, and switch to English in the preferences to follow the countless tutorials in English, or use English-based expressions.
I made a suggestion to allow more flexible language switching in Photoshop: http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/photoshop_allow_change_users_to_chan ge_the_ui_language I strongly encourage any user wanting to change the language to go vote there.

3 Says Its Customers Are Nuts; Need To Be Locked Up In Walled Gardens
from the we-don't-believe-in-choice-around-here... dept
Hutchison's 3G carrier 3 in the UK has taken an awful lot of criticism over the years. They launched a 3G service in the UK by hyping it up ridiculously, without ever considering what customers might actually want to use it for. They simply assumed that everyone would buy expensive and ugly phones to send video messages back and forth. Now, they've decided that anyone who wants open internet access on their phone is "nuts" and they're going to keep their walled gardens in place. Certainly, there's a place for mobile-optimized content. However, blocking off other content, isn't about protecting their "crazy" customers, but about trying to protect a business model that is increasingly irrelevant. It seems odd that they would block off something because customers don't want it. If they simply opened up their system, then customers could choose for themselves. Apparently having options would just be too crazy, though.

I can't believe you are still singing this tune:
"Onwards to a rational observant Judaism"
How the fuck do you do that?
Judaism is not rational.
Genesis, or for that matter the rest of the Jewish books, cannot be reconciled with science no matter how hard you try. Evolution is a fact. Archaeology, paleontology, and historical records from all gentile civilizations show the history of this planet extends many many millenniums beyond 6000 years .
Israeli archaeology has already exposed more than half of the Torah's history as little more than propaganda from Judea's kings.
And I have already explained to your deafening ears about the incorporated mythology such as Yahweh's battle with Rahab (Job 26) coming from cannanite myths, the Tower of Babel coming from Enkermar of babylonian myths, Samson coming from Greeks, and the other jewish stories which have their origins with the cannanites, sumerians, egyptians, babylonians, greeks, hittites, zorastrians, and even muslims (per the various midrash I showed you)
So what is left? Why still stick with Judaism?
Is it the culture and community you do not wish to leave, which XGH says is his reason for staying a frum pretender?

As I've said before, I find it most ironic when a fanatical Muslim like yourself spouts on and on about the supposedly derivative nature of Judaism - as if Islam isn't wholly derived from the likes of Judaism and Christianity. I suspect it is your strange perception of inferiority which drives you to rail against it, even in the face of a post which makes it a total non sequitur.

BOSTON, Mass. - After having not competed last weekend, #4 MIT men's cross country team returned to the trail to compete in the NEICAAA Championships that took place at Franklin Park on a crisp, chilly Saturday afternoon. Tech finished in ninth place with 273 points, behind Tufts University in eighth with 269 points and Yale University in 10th with 305. MIT improved on its 13th place finish from last year's championships.
Completely the course first for the Engineers was senior Roy Wedge (Lawrence, Kan.), who finished in 15th out of the 279 competitors with his time of 24:54. For finishing in third place at the Purple Valley Classic two weekends ago, Wedge was named the New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) Runner of the Week.
Next to finish the race were juniors Allen Leung (Arcadia, Calif.) and Benji Xie (Eldorado Hills, Calif.), who came in 43rd and 45th place with times of 25:27 and 25:28 respectively. Sophomore Matthew Deyo (Manlius, N.Y.) came in 74th in 25:48 and senior Justin Bullock (Detroit, Mich.) rounded out the top 100 finishers in 96th place with a 25:59.
In the men's sub-varsity race, junior Matt Jordan (Matthews, N.C.) made his season debut with a seventh place finish with a time of 26:03, helping Tech to place sixth out of 20 teams with 172 points. Senior Eric Safai (Los Altos, Calif.) placed 36th in 26:36, freshmen Matt McEachern (San Diego, Calif.) and Brian Gilligan (Framingham, Mass.) came in 48th and 50th with times of 26:46 and 26:50 respectively. Senior Jay McKenna (Hilliard, Ohio) rounded out the scoring by coming in 64th place with a 27:03.
MIT will not compete until Sunday, Nov. 3 when it returns to Franklin Park for the NEWMAC Championships. The Engineers will be looking to capture their 16th consecutive conference title, one for every year that MIT has been part of the league.

Spina bifida is a congenital condition (meaning it is present at birth) that involves the incomplete development of the spinal cord or its coverings. Nemours' spina bifida experts are uniquely prepared to treat the medical challenges of the condition while giving children the tools they need to grow into active, independent adults.
The term spina bifida comes from Latin and literally means "split" or "open" spine. Though the cause is unknown, the spine's failure to close properly happens during the first month of pregnancy.
A child born with spina bifida (also called myelomeningocele), or the related disorder lipomeningocele (when the "open" spine is covered over by an area of fatty tissue), often has some sort of damage to the nerves of the spinal cord. The extent of this damage can vary widely, but may include paralysis in the lower extremities and loss of bowel and bladder control. Children with spina bifida may also have hydrocephalus (fluid on the brain), and some may also experience attention deficit hyperactivity disorder or other learning difficulties.

EAGLE ROCK, Calif. - CLU exploded for a program-record tying 70 points as the No. 8 Kingsmen cruised to a 70-20 victory over Occidental on Saturday afternoon at Jack Kemp Stadium. The win secured a third straight undefeated SCIAC season (8-1, 6-0 SCIAC) and outright SCIAC title.
Box Score: CLU 70, OXY 20 - F
The Kingsmen, whom have won 20 straight SCIAC games, are hoping they have done enough to warrant hosting a first-round game in the NCAA Division III playoffs. The playoff pairings will be released on Sunday, Nov. 13, at 3 p.m.
CLU's only loss this season came in the opening game against Linfield, which has beaten CLU in the first round of the NCAA playoffs the last two seasons.
But if the Kingsmen can avoid drawing Linfield for a third straight time, they believe they have a good chance of hosting a first-round playoff game at their new stadium.
It would help CLU's cause if Redlands receives an at-large berth into the playoffs, which could result in a rematch of the thrilling SCIAC-opening meeting between the teams at William Rolland Stadium.
"We have done everything we could except beat Linfield and that is behind us and we have won out," CLU head coach Ben McEnroe said. "I think we are a strong candidate to host, but we are not going to complain about it if we don't. Obviously, I would love for our seniors to have another home game. But it's out of our hands now and up to the NCAA."
Against Occidental (5-4, 3-3 SCIAC), CLU's nearly unstoppable offense continued to be nearly unstoppable. The Kingsmen scored touchdowns on their first seven drives of the game and returned an interception for a touchdown for another score. The only drive CLU didn't score a touchdown in the first half was its final drive.
The Kingsmen led 35-0 after one quarter and 56-0 with 8:04 left in the second quarter. CLU's starters were already on the sideline before the first half concluded.
Karsten Lundring - aka CLU's "Candyman" - had to begin rationing his candy stock in the first quarter, fearing he would run out of treats by the end of the second.
The 70 points tied the program-record 70 points CLU scored against Whittier in 2003. It also marked the sixth straight game CLU has scored more than 50 points.
"Everybody kept looking around saying they have never scored this many points in a game before," CLU senior running back Daniel Mosier said. "I have never seen 70 points put up in a game I've been a part of. It was something special."
Mosier, a Royal High graduate, rushed 14 times for 154 yards and two touchdowns in a little more than one quarter of play. Following his performance against OXY he tied the program's single-season rushing touchdowns mark with 17. Mosier also became the fifth 1,000-yard rusher in program history and ranks third all-time with 1,027 thus far.
CLU senior quarterback Jake Laudenslayer completed 7 of 9 passes for 123 yards and one touchdown. Laudenslayer also rushed for one touchdown. He surpassed 2,000 yards for the season and currently ranks 10th all-time in CLU single-season history with 2,043 yards through the air.
Junior wide receiver Eric Rogers caught three passes for 81 yards and Deme'Trek Chambers rushed for two touchdowns.
"We challenged our kids to come out and start fast after what happened last week and they answered the bell," McEnroe said. "They did everything we asked them to do from the All-American candidates all the way down to the fourth-string guys. I am proud of them."
The Kingsmen plan to gather on Sunday to watch the NCAA pairings be released and find out the where they will begin their postseason journey.
They are hoping it's a familiar location that finally allows them to sleep in their own beds on a postseason game day.
"I do think we have made some changes and improved all year," Mosier said. "Obviously it depends on whatever the NCAA chooses. But it would be great to have a home playoff game."

"The One and Only Substantive Due Process Clause"
Ryan Williams, 120 Yale Law Journal 408 (2010)
Event Overview
Moderated by USD's Professor of Law and Director of the Center for the Study of Constitutional Originalism Michael Rappaport, guest lecturer Ryan Williams will present and discuss his recent Yale Law Journal article titled, "The One and Only Substantive Due Process Clause."
The nature and scope of the rights protected by the Due Process Clauses of the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments are among the most debated topics in all of constitutional law. At the core of this debate is the question of whether these clauses should be understood to protect only "procedural" rights, such as notice and the opportunity for a hearing, or whether the due process guarantee should be understood to encompass certain "substantive" protections as well. An important though little explored assumption shared by participants on both sides of this debate is that the answer to the substantive due process question must be the same for both provisions. This Article questions that assumption by separately examining the historical evidence regarding the original public meaning of the Due Process Clauses of both the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments with a single question in mind: did the original meaning of each clause, at the time of its enactment, encompass a recognizable form of substantive due process? At the time of the Fifth Amendment's ratification in 1791, the phrase "due process of law," and the closely related phrase "law of the land," were widely understood to refer primarily to matters relating to judicial procedure, with the second phrase having a somewhat broader connotation referring to existing positive law. Neither of these meanings was broad enough to encompass something that would today be recognized as "substantive due process." Between 1791 and the Fourteenth Amendment's enactment in 1868, due process concepts evolved dramatically, through judicial decisions at the state and federal levels and through the invocation of due process concepts by both proslavery and abolitionist forces in the course of constitutional arguments over the expansion of slavery. By 1868, a recognizable form of substantive due process had been embraced by courts in at least twenty of the thirty-seven then-existing states as well as by the United States Supreme Court and the authors of the leading treatises on constitutional law. As a result, this Article concludes that the original meaning of one, and only one, of the two Due Process Clauses—the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment—was broad enough to encompass a recognizable form of substantive due process.

Connecting Authors To Tangible Goods They Can Sell?
from the business-models... dept
Ross Pruden alerts us to an LA Times story about a company called OpenSky that is apparently helping authors implement additional business models by helping them find tangible products they can sell in association with their books. Indeed, the whole concept seems to fit in with our concept of using infinite goods to make scarce goods more valuable:
A cookbook author, for example, not only sells books through OpenSky but also hawks a favorite barbecue sauce and grill. The author pockets 50% of the profit, with the rest going to OpenSky and others involved in the transaction.I can already hear the critics complaining about this sort of "crass commercialism" that I'm sure is "destroying" the concept of "art for art's sake," but I find it odd that those who focus on the whole "art for art's sake" argument are the same folks who also complain that the changing marketplace means content creators can't make money any more. No one is saying anyone has to adopt these models -- just that for those who feel comfortable doing so, it's now easier than ever to embrace infinite concepts -- and use them to make scarce goods more valuable.
David Hale Smith, a Texas literary agent, was about the only one who hadn't morphed roles since Naples last saw him. After they sat down at a table near that escalator, Smith immediately handed her a copy of a client's newest novel: "So Cold the River" by Michael Koryta. Smith mentioned that it's set in an old hotel in central Indiana known for its Pluto Water, believed to have healthful effects.
Naples lit up: "If [Koryta] was on OpenSky, the novel could be tied to a promotion of the hotel. He could have a button on his site for readers to buy the book and the water." (OpenSky would find a supplier to bottle and ship it.) She described other commercial possibilities: a sneak-peak download of a chapter of his next book, a "webinar" with him discussing his stories.
That said, after reading about all of this, I went and looked at OpenSky, and I don't see any of this on their website. Instead, it looks like a plain old store. If they're really focused on helping content creators, it seems like they would be a lot better off promoting content creators on their site as well.

Mumbai, Dec 13: Under pressure from the government, Shiv Sena today indicated its willingness to shift Bal Thackeray's memorial to the margins of Shivaji Park in the city.
"Shiv Sainiks will with their own hands shift the 'samadhi sthal' a little," Sena executive president Uddhav Thackeray said in a statement in party mouthpiece 'Saamna', of which he is the new editor.
"The stance of Shiv Sena on the 'samadhi sthal' has always been that of restraint. A permanent 'samadhi sthal' will come up at the 'Shiv Teerth' by shifting the present samadhi sthal a little," Uddhav said.
Uddhav's readiness to shift back the structure to the margins of the Shivaji Park in Mumbai is a climb down from earlier announcements by senior party leaders that Shiv Sainiks would not budge from the present structure.
The Sena leader's statement comes in wake of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation giving a notice to the party over the structure.
Maharashtra Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan had also said that Shivaji Park, a large open ground in central Mumbai, was given to the Shiv Sena for Bal Thackeray's cremation only and they must vacate it.

Here at Kotaku, not everyone is a fully fledged PC gamer. But some of us would like to be. Like a certain Tina who has a certain birthday coming up this Friday. Who also has a certain older brother who spoils her. See where I'm going with this?
So he and I will be doing our research and digging into the best parts to put into my soon-to-be glorious PC machine. But maybe you guys have a few suggestions. And maybe some of you are, like me, looking to chip off a piece of this whole "master race" business.
Let's share and weigh in on the absolute best pieces of hardware that would create the most optimal beast to run the shiniest of games.

Video: Mid-Continent Introduces New SAM Backup Gyro
Original, Exclusive Videos from AVweb | Reader-Submitted & Viral Videos
When glass first appeared a dozen years ago, virtually all of the required backup gyros were of the iron variety � vacuum- or electric-powered. Increasingly, manufacturers are turning to glass backups as well, and at NBAA in Orlando this week, Mid-Continent Instruments and Avionics announced its new SAM, a two-inch combined attitude gyro and pitot-static instrument. In addition to providing legal backup, the unit also has a self-contained lithium-ion battery pack cable of of operating the device for at least an hour. In this video from AVweb's NBAA coverage, Mid-Continent's Tom Genovese gives us a brief tour of the SAM.
