Platon of Banja Luka
Saint Platon of Banja Luka (1874-1941) (serbian:Свети свештеномученик Платон Бањалучки ) is an Orthodox hieromarytr. He was the 3rd Serb Orthodox bishop of Banja Luka.
Saint Platon was born in Belgrade, on September 29, 1874. His parents Ilija and Jelka (maiden name Sokolovic) were from Herzegovina. He attended primary school in Vranje and Nis, and then continued his education in the Seminary in Belgrade. Milivoje took monastic vows as the third-grade pupil of the Belgrade Seminary. Having completed the Seminary he was ordained deacon and afterwards presbyter, and then, in 1896, he was sent in the Serbian mission in Moscow, where he continued his theological education at the Spiritual Academy, which he completed in 1901. Having returned from Russia, he was appointed the head of the Rakovica Monastery, and soon afterwards the professor in Belgrade. He worked as professor in Aleksinac and Jagodina, and during that period he obtained the ranks of syncellos, protosyncellos and archimandrite. In 1912, during the war, Archimandrite Platon was a brigade priest, and in World War I he was a military priest. For a short period of time Platon was an Administrator of the Ochrid Diocese. He spent the period of occupation in Serbia, and with the help of his acquaintances abroad, he managed to render aid to all the people who suffered afflictions - especially orphans and widows. From 1932 to 1938 he was the manager of the Monastery printing office in Sremski Karlovci, as well as the editor of the " Glasnik srpske Patriaršije". Archimandrite Platon was also the head of the Krusedol Monastery. He was elected Moravian Bishop in 1936. Patriarch Varnava ordained him in Sremski Karlovci that same year. In 1938 he was elected the Bishop of Ochrid-Bitolj, and a year later he was transferred to Banja Luka. Platon was the Bishop of Banja Luka when the World War II came in Yugoslavia.
Teritory of his Diocese became part of so-called Independent State of Croatia. Since he was a Serb born in Serbia, not in Bosnia, he was told to leave Banja Luka. he writed-back: "The authorities appointed me the Bishop of Banja Luka lawfully, according to canon law; having such a position I took the obligation before God, Church and people, thereat inseparably binding my life and my destiny with the life and destiny of my spiritual flock, to take care of my spiritual flock permanently and firmly, regardless of any events, and to stay on its spiritual path all the time of my life given to me by God, persevering in my staying with the flock as a good shepherd who gives his soul for his sheep…" He asked a Roman Catholic Bishop Dr Jozo Garić(who was a Croat like Ustašas) to intervene with the authorised military officer and let him stay for two or three days more so that he could prepare for the departure. This Bishop told him to be calm and peaceful. However, the Ustaše arrested Bishop Platon the very next night (May 5, 1941) and took him, together with priest Dušan Subotić - hierarchal administrator from Bosanska Gradiska, somewhere out of Banja Luka. The two of them were killed there and their corpses were cast into the Vrbanja River. Ustasa Asim Celic committed this repulsive deed. Bishop's corpse, which was scarred and disfigured, was found in the village of Kumsale, on May 23, 1941. He had first been buried in a military graveyard in Banja Luka, and in 1973 his remains were transported to the Banja Luka Cathedral.
At the regular session of the Holy Assembly of Bishops of the Serbian Orthodox Church in 1998, Banja Luka Bishop Platon was canonized and entered into the List of Names of the Saint people of the Serbian Orthodox Church. His fast is on April 23 in julian calendar (May 5 in Gregorian)

Thread started October 2009. Last update August 2012
The iconic "Family of Man" statues will stay put when the board of education moves to their new headquarters in the Beltline, but it appears that no effort will be made by the City to save the old Calgary Board of Education building, a mid-century modern building in the brutalist tradition, circa 1969. It is on the heritage inventory as a Citywide Historic Resource, but this information is not even mentioned in the City report (see below). Where is a saviour for this fascinating building? If it passes CPC, the item will probably go to Council in November.

We've talked about how Titanfall's NPCs make sure there's always something happening and there's always someone to shoot. But the "grunts" also have their own dialogue, and it's something more reminiscent of Halo than Call of Duty.
You might notice when you're near a group of grunts that they call out things like "Enemy pilot spotted!" or "door clear!". It isn't just limited to random battle chatter though. Sometimes when you approach a group of grunts, you'll hear them notice "friendly pilot coming through". There are a bunch of these lines that are written to drive home the idea that pilots are a level beyond the average soldier, almost like Master Chief.
The grunts don't just make you feel awesome, they also have conversations of their own, about hitting the gym, or why they signed up for the militia. Take a look at the video to hear all the weird stuff they come up with.
Did you hear any lines that weren't in the video? Leave them in the comments!

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina – Argentina wants the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to name names and provide proof that Ralph Lauren Corp. bribed customs officials for years to allow its products into the South American country.
Taxe chief Ricardo Echegary came out swinging Tuesday after the U.S. government announced that the designer label had co-operated with authorities and paid a fine of nearly $1.6 million after admitting that its now-closed Argentine subsidiary violated the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.
Echegaray blamed private customs brokers and former Ralph Lauren executives for any violations, and suspended their tax ID numbers, which are necessary to do business legally in Argentina.
But he also demanded that the S.E.C. identify which Argentine officials allegedly took the bribes, which the SEC said totalled nearly $600,000 over four years until they were discovered in 2010. And his agency put out a statement that called it a lie designed to cover up how Ralph Lauren emptied the subsidiary before abandoning Argentina.
Echegaray's AFIP tax agency also launched a criminal investigation on Monday after the S.E.C. announced the settlement in New York, and he asked U.S. Ambassador Vilma Martinez to intervene so that any evidence can be shared with investigative Jorge Brugo, who was assigned the Argentine case.
The Embassy on Tuesday referred all questions to the SEC and the Justice Department, which had no immediate comment on Echegaray's requests and allegations.
The SEC said Ralph Lauren Corp. spent $593,000 in bribes from 2005 to 2009 through customs agents who were able to get its products into Argentina without the necessary paperwork. The company agreed to give up more than $700,000 in illegal profits and pay a penalty of $882,000 to settle the claims, which it blamed on its subsidiary.
Echegaray's initial reaction was to blame U.S. officials for failing to share information, and accuse the company of inventing the bribery claims to cover up the disappearance of $567,000 in local assets. An agency statement said the U.S. embassy failed to share any information, despite co-operation agreements between the countries.
The New York-based company said it reported the irregularities promptly to the S.E.C. after discovering them in 2010, fired the responsible employees and closed its offices and stores in Argentina.
Economic analysts blamed Ralph Lauren's closure last year on import hurdles and currency controls that kept it from getting its products in and its profits out. Others made similar complaints as they abandoned Argentina, an exodus of designer labels that included Emporio Armani, Yves Saint Laurent, Escada, Calvin Klein Underwear, Louis Vuitton, Kenzo and Cartier.
Argentina's policies are aimed at forcing multinational corporations to foster domestic production and invest their profits inside the country. A series of ever-changing, unpublished rules have enabled bureaucrats to hold up import licenses until businesses promise to match their cargo's value by shifting an equal amount of production or investment to Argentina.

A heartbroken woman wearing a wedding dress and clutching a brick stormed a Seattle City Council meeting on Monday to protest the redevelopment of a historical neighborhood. But don't worry; it's not what it looks like. She was wearing a wedding dress because she was about to get married, yes, but not to a human, to the neighborhood being discussed. And the brick wasn't for smashing, it was all that remains of her former spouse, a warehouse that was torn down. See? A perfectly reasonable explanation.
Babylonia Aivaz married the warehouse earlier this year in a lovely outdoor ceremony. Tragically, that union ended when her wife (the building) was torn down. But hope springs eternal in the weird world of humans who say they're in love with inanimate objects — the neighborhood of Yessler Terrace was there to pick Aivaz up from her heartbreak, and the two plan to wed on August 5th of this year.
But now, City Hall is mulling redeveloping Yessler Terrace, a move Aivaz fears will bring gentrification to the area. And, like thousands of misguided women before her, she decided to try to save something by marrying it.
City officials are shockingly unsympathetic to Aivaz's cause; after barging into the City Council meeting like a deranged romcom bride, she was charged with criminal trespassing.
Aivaz is undeterred, though, insisting that her wedding to the neighborhood will go on as planned, and if anyone is confused by her actions, they should reread Dr. Seuss's The Lorax. Further, according to KOMO,
When asked if she had armed herself with a brick, she explained that the brick was her wife.
"Oh no, that's my spouse," she said. "I got married to a building earlier this year."
Aivez also told police that she didn't need a mental evaluation.
"This officer says I need a mental evaluation or I need to go to jail becaue he doesn't believe that (brick) is my spouse," she said to the small crowd outside City Hall.
All of these things actually happened. Am I on drugs? Do I have a fever? Feel my forehead.

searching for a SP/PDA like device, advice needed
Table of Contents:
0. Abstract
1. Details
2. Question
A mobile device that can edit text files and provide storage accessible from FreeBSD. Something that I can jet over source code from a project, take the device with me to work and edit code in my idle time. Then transfer back to my laptop when I get home.
Ok.. This is (hopefully) a stupid thread but please bare with me for a moment (You may wish to skip to the question part). Simply put my family drives me up the walls and I've tried just about everything short of a shotgun. Which is not something you do to people you love.
They are like the Borg, find one way around the problem and they adapt! Over the past several years I've been shoved from working on projects in the evening (like homework) on a desktop PC, to working after dark on a laptop (good bye homework). All the way to working on things all night long until I pass out, then going to work in the morning a couple hours later... Now they are cutting apart my time for working at night, and between the hours of 0000 and 0900 there is only so much I can do and still be ready to leave for work. I work with my mother, so tinkering with stuff at work is no problem. Actually getting anything done when I'm not at work, is a problem.
Many times when I am at work, I have stretches of idle time. When I have nothing to do because I am either done already or waiting for her to finish something (i.e. get out of my way). Example, yesterday I was stuck standing at ease for at least 20 minutes, today pacing back and forth for almost any hour. If I had some way of bringing a text editor and non-volatile storage tow ork. I could sit and work on stuff, rather then having to wait 2-12 hours for everyone to get squared away before I can actually put my ideas on disk. My laptops to big and too valuable to bring with me, so this only leaves smart phones and PDAs as the remaining options I guess.
So far I have not been able to find squat that I can use and be sure that I can use. The onyl decent find is a model of Zaurus PDA supported by OpenBSD but it's about $700 imported and my budget is about $220.
Does anyone know of anything (hopefully in such a price range) that would fit the bill? Regardless of price is this even a feasible idea? or am I just hopelessly screwed. I'm in the United States and our cell carrier is T-Mobile.
The gizmo has to be able to edit textual files and store them locally. And absolutely has to have someway of transferring it to a FreeBSD machine, such as via USB as a mass storage device, through a removable memory card, or even over a telnet/ssh connection via 802.11b/g. And a keyboard that can actually be used for typing code (e.g. a-z, A-Z, 0-1, and Cs common operators). Stuff like cameras, internet/e-mail, instant messengering, phone, and every thing else is just a luxury for me not a feature. In fact, I utterly hate cell phones with a passion but whatever works is good enough.
I've searched around online but nothing seems to be able to do this, that I can be sure of from the safety of not buying it. I've checked into some of the Blackberry 8x00 models and some of the high tech phones on T-Mobiles website but so far, nothing that seems to do exactly what I need but just about every other dang thing I could possibly dream of needing. Except edit source code on the run... Does anyone have any practical experience, advice, etc, or am I just totally up the creek with out a paddle?
Just for the records, the last time I actually used any sort of PDA like device. The storage capacity for user data was measured in Kilobytes and cell phones less then "everywhere".
My Journal
Thou shalt check the array bounds of all strings (indeed, all arrays), for surely where thou typest ``foo'' someone someday shall type ``supercalifragilisticexpialidocious''.
Why not buy a secondhand PC and put in on your room? A P3 or something should be fine ... You can always upgrade incremently.
UNIX was not designed to stop you from doing stupid things, because that would also stop you from doing clever things.
Currently, I have one PC with dual heads in the living room, one PC (headless) in my room, another PC (also headless) waiting for me to hook it up, and a laptop sitting on an impromptu desk where all of my work is usually done.
Collectively giving me a Pentium D, 4, 3, and Sempron Mobile and >700GB of storage space between them.
Unfortunately my room is also within a 100 metres of my family and there is no where else at night to sit and work 'til I drop.

Does the device require a keyboard? wasn't sure if that was a requirement... are you able to use touchscreen devices?
The Nokia 770[link] might be an option... or the Nokia N810 which has a tiny keyboard, but it's expensive.. both devices run Linux.
More searching found the "Zipit Wireless Messenger 2", it's very cheap, plenty models are on Ebay for less then $50 CAD, again, runs Linux.
EDIT: Not $50, looks like those Ebay items might not give you an actual unit.. not sure, regardless, they have community portal site..http://linux.zipitwireless.com/

To be honest BSDfan666, I don't really mind if there is no keyboard as long as I can 'type normal' enough to pass off the output as ordinary textual files on a PC. So far from the sounds of it, the Zipit looks like it would be of more solid service in it's next generation.
The Nokia N770 looks bleeding awesome, I searched and found a copy of the user manual and some flash based demonstrations. She looks capable enough for transferring data, as far as editing files there seems to be a notes application that supports ASCII and a subset of HTML. I assume it has access to the devices file system when used with a memory card.
Does anyone have have any experience with it?
So far the only big problem seems to be finding a trust worthy seller. Looks like getting it used off Amazon or eBay might be the only way to nab one. I've also seen a few sites that I trust but they only offer the N810 for around $400 :\

Well, There is a xterm port to both the 770 and the N810.. N800 as well I'd assume.. (See here and here)
I found this as well:
Some of the HP Jornada (Win CE devices, some supported by NetBSD) might be worth looking into.. grab one of those puppies, probably cheaper.

VANCOUVER - For the purposes of the David vs. Goliath scenario that, briefly, looked to be a likely opening-night late game for Hockey Night in Canada, the Vancouver Canucks were to play the role of the giant and the Edmonton Oilers the young upstart.
If you didn't look too closely -- just accepted the Canucks' Presidents' Trophies of the past two seasons as evidence of their bigness, and the Oilers' plethora of young high draft picks as evidence of their potential to slay the ogre -- the metaphor wasn't totally bogus.
It's only when seen in person that the analogy begins to break down.
Goliath, for instance, is two fourth lines over the usual allotment, and temporarily (they hope) a little less than fearsome. David, meanwhile, having not yet proved his courage or his aim, has a bagful of prime rocks for ammunition, but hasn't quite got the knack of slinging them with any consistency.
In the end, the meeting didn't happen Saturday but was put off for a day while the Canucks entertained, unintentionally and literally, the Anaheim Ducks.
And when it did, it was an overtime 2-2 tie that got decided in the shootout, and the result -- 3-2 for the Oilers -- was probably about what ought to have happened to a Goliath that has lost a step against a David with as much raw skill as any team in the league.
"I think what you're seeing is we have more depth, we have more maturity," said said Oiler coach Ralph Krueger, whose Swiss national teams were the antithesis of the freewheeling, abundantly skilled team he's got to work with in Edmonton.
"And you know, we were a really competitive team last year -- it was crazy, we were probably one of the best 29th-place teams ever. I don't remember too many games that were boring.
"We just didn't know how to finish games, and it's something we've been working on. And it's good for them that they were able to learn that today, how to finish. We know we still have a lot of work ahead of us, a lot of learning curves, but there's a completely different energy, different swagger in the room."
The Canucks were up 2-0 on a team that, a year ago, probably would have let the score balloon from there. This one didn't. Devan Dubnyk was tough when he had to be in the Oiler net, and the Canucks didn't take advantage of a string of power play chances.
Once it got to a shootout, even as well as Roberto Luongo had played, the Canucks didn't look as though they had the energy to see it through to the end.
Vancouver was 5-1 against the Oilers last year, when the Canucks were No. 1 in the regular season to Edmonton's 29th.
So there was always that gap, and one game doesn't mean it's even close to being bridged. But more than that, these two franchises have almost never been good at the same time. They have missed each other's prime years, languishing near the bottom while the other flourished, and vice versa.
It's only now, with the Canucks still holding onto their regular-season primacy -- until someone takes it away -- and the Oilers having endured the worst years of their existence to acquire the draft picks that might resurrect their fortunes, that the two teams might be on a collision course.
Maybe later, maybe sooner. But they're trending in different directions, that much is for sure.
"It took us probably 25 minutes to feel out the game, but five-on-five I thought we were kind of all over them. We just took too many penalties," said Jordan Eberle, who at the moment is the best of the young Oilers, though the three consecutive No. 1 overall picks, Taylor Hall, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Nail Yakupov, all were judged to have better upsides.
Eberle's late second-period goal -- a thing of beauty, going wide around Alex Edler and lifting a wicked backhand into about six square inches of space inside the junction of post and crossbar over Luongo's left shoulder -- was the inspiration his team needed to begin the road back. And the Oilers finished it in the shootout with goals on multi-layered dekes by Sam Gagner and Ales Hemsky that Luongo couldn't stay with.
"Every game against a division rival is a four-point game," said Nugent-Hopkins. "I mean, every point is going to matter even more this year.
"I think we're confident that we can play with any team in the league. We have the depth to do it now, and we made some big pickups in the offseason, and it's going to pay off for us.
"I think as a team gets older, your defensive game gets stronger, and you don't give up as much. I think as we play more together, that's what's going to happen for us."
If there's one thing to take from the Canucks' weekend, besides the "loser point" Sunday, it's the need to arrest a shaky start before it becomes a genuine slide.
"They've got a good team over there, so for us, where we are, it was a good character win," Eberle said. "Last year, it seemed like those one-goal games were Kryptonite for us. We were losing a lot of them, and usually in the third period, so to come back in the third and win it, shows some character on our part.
"But at the end of the day, it's one game."
One missed step by Goliath. One pebble bounced off the ogre's forehead by David. One loss by the Presidents' Trophy winner, one win for a team that has missed the playoffs six years in a row.
No big deal? Probably not.
The gap was comfortably wide eight months ago.
Still, the proving never stops.

A's to host Chevron's STEM Zone Experience
Admission is free with a game ticket to Aug. 31 game vs. Tampa Bay Rays
The Oakland Athletics and Chevron will host the Chevron STEM Zone, an exhibit that explores scientific concepts behind the game of baseball, on Saturday, Aug. 31 at the O.co Coliseum. Admission to the STEM Zone, located behind Section 217 outside the Bar & Grille, is free to fans with a ticket to that night's game vs. the Tampa Bay Rays.
The STEM Zone - STEM is an abbreviation for science, technology, engineering and math - is a component of "Science of the Game," a unique educational program initiated by Chevron and the A's that deepens interest and understanding of science among Bay Area youth through baseball. Through interactive experiences, students learn how the game of baseball works and the fundamental roles that gravity, acceleration and reaction time play. To see examples of these educational experiences, please visit http://www.chevron.com/countries/usa/chevronincalifornia/newsletter/volume9/stemZone/.
"Chevron believes that STEM education and an understanding of how the world works is critical to helping students succeed and prepare for the increasing number of technical jobs in the modern economy and particularly here in the Bay Area," said Russ Yarrow, manager of partnerships and events at Chevron. "By partnering with the Oakland A's to develop Science of the Game, we can help bring science to life and show kids its application in the real world."
Chevron began the concept of STEM Zones with its "Science of Golf" exhibits at Professional Golf Association tournaments. Applying similar lessons to baseball, Chevron and the A's are collaborating with local schools to use innovative lessons to teach science and math topics - such as aerodynamics, energy transference and acceleration.
In addition to the STEM Zone, the Science of the Game program includes other efforts to reinvigorate STEM education in the Bay Area. On May 17, Oakland A's infielder Eric Sogard and team mascot Stomper visited Stege Elementary School in Richmond to distribute Science of the Game workbooks and work through science problems with students. The A's have distributed more than 15,000 Science of the Game workbooks to Bay Area schools that utilize science formulas to answer questions related to various aspects of baseball. The three workbooks, targeting grades 1-2, 3-5, and 6-8, are also available at www.oaklandathletics.com/science. Students who complete their workbooks and submit their answer sheets to the A's receive two ticket vouchers to select A's home games.
"It's great being around the kids and seeing the smiles on their faces," Sogard said after his visit to Stege Elementary. "It's great to be able to share with them. I hope the [Science of the Game] will help them now or in the future."
In addition to Sogard's visit to the elementary school in Richmond, students from West Contra Costa County public schools including Chavez Elementary School, Helms Middle School, Kennedy High School, Lincoln Elementary School, Making Waves Academy, Peres Elementary School and Richmond High School have been selected to attend the Aug. 31 game and experience the STEM Zone.
"Educating all youth is vital to creating a future generation of critical thinkers ready to succeed in college and career, and become leaders and innovators," said Jennifer B. Lyle, chief of operations, Building Block for Kids Collaborative. "Opportunities like the STEM Zone experience are innovative ways to engage our Richmond youth and stimulate learning."
Chevron is partnering with the A's to engage kids in science education in the Bay Area as part of its California Partnership, an initiative to invest in economic development and education in its home state. Since 2009, Chevron has invested over $15 million to support STEM education programs that have reached more than 500,000 students and 6,700 teachers in California. As global energy demand increases, so too does the need to hire a technical workforce, elevating the importance of science, technology, engineering and math.
"Science of the Game," "Mathletics" and "Home Run Readers" programs put into action the Oakland A's commitment to supporting education in the Bay Area. The A's organization, in conjunction with the A's Community Fund, strives to make a positive impact in the Bay Area and Northern California. A's players, coaches and front office employees, together with fans and sponsors, are committed to meeting the social, cultural and educational demands in the community.

Technical Paper
The Diesel Exhaust Aftertreatment (DEXA) Cluster: A Systematic Approach to Diesel Particulate Emission Control in Europe
The DEXA Cluster consisted of three closely interlinked projects. In 2003 the DEXA Cluster concluded by demonstrating the successful development of critical technologies for Diesel exhaust particulate after-treatment, without adverse effects on NOx emissions and maintaining the fuel economy advantages of the Diesel engine well beyond the EURO IV (2000) emission standards horizon. In the present paper the most important results of the DEXA Cluster projects in the demonstration of advanced particulate control technologies, the development of a simulation toolkit for the design of diesel exhaust after-treatment systems and the development of novel particulate characterization methodologies, are presented. The motivation for the DEXA Cluster research was to increase the market competitiveness of diesel engine powertrains for passenger cars worldwide, and to accelerate the adoption of particulate control technology.

Ken Cowles thought he'd found a refuge.
The long-time northern Alberta trapper had been chased from one area to another as he tried to stay ahead of the logging and drilling that ruined his other traplines. The section along the Little Smoky River east of Grande Cache seemed perfect – not pristine, but relatively untouched.
Timber companies had agreed to stay out. The federal and provincial governments had promised to preserve caribou habitat. And Mr. Cowles's new trapline was on the one sliver of the Little Smoky herd's range that remains in good shape.
Mr. Cowles, 63, figured he'd spend the rest of his trapping days working the surrounding lakes, creeks and forests.
Maybe not.
"When I bought this trapline, I thought, 'This is good. I'll be protected here,'" he said recently. "I got in here and exactly the same thing is happening, except it's worse."
Alberta has 15 caribou herds and all of them are threatened by industrial incursion into the old-growth forest they require to survive, a problem acknowledged by both the federal and Alberta governments.
As early as 2004, Alberta's caribou recovery plan said "targets should be used to describe the minimum habitat necessary for the survival and recovery of woodland caribou." Federal documents say caribou need to be able to use at least 65 per cent of their range.
If any area were a candidate for preservation, it would be Mr. Cowles's neck of the woods.
Environment Canada says caribou tend to stay at least 500 metres from roads, cutlines or well sites. That accounts for 95 per cent of the Little Smoky range, the worst disturbance rate for any herd in Canada.
The remaining 5 per cent, on which Mr. Cowles traps, is critical.
"It is within the core of the range and it is relatively undisturbed," said Dave Hervieux, caribou specialist with Alberta's Department of Environment and Sustainable Resource Development. "It is heavily used by the caribou that remain."
Environmentalists echo the sentiment that this habitat should be saved.
"It shouldn't be that hard to defer new [industrial] footprint," said Carolyn Campbell of the Alberta Wilderness Association.
Still, in 2009 and 2010, Alberta Energy sold 61 oil and gas leases in the two townships right in the heart of what was left of Little Smoky's prime range.
Despite policy and promises to preserve habitat, 84 per cent of that tiny remnant has now been sold off. The average price was about $380 a hectare – about two-thirds the average price for oil and gas rights in 2010.
Roads have been punched through the bush. Mr. Cowles counts plans for at least 34 new wells on his trapline.
"I had one oil company tell me, 'We see [caribou] on the lease all the time. They like it there.' I said, 'They don't like it there. They used to feed there. They fed in that area for hundreds of years and they fed in the same places all the time. You guys go clear [the trees] and they'll go there to feed and they'll just stand there because they don't know why the feed isn't there.'" Mr. Cowles has been offered buyouts, but he's not biting.
"They'll pay me off, but why do I want to get bought out? So I'll shut up?"
He has written to Alberta's environment and energy ministers and to Prime Minister Stephen Harper.
"All you get is lip service," Mr. Cowles said. "I'm just kind of getting to my wit's end. It's just like banging your head against a wall."
He says pelts from lynx, marten, fisher and wolf are already down about 75 per cent.
"I don't blame the oil companies. The government is the one that's selling the land to them and telling them what to do with it."
Alberta Energy spokesman Mike Deising said Alberta must develop its energy resources.
"It's all about finding the right balance between getting the resources out of the ground and, in this case, with habitat," he said.
Roads "go everywhere" in this province, he said. "Roads are a factor of living in a 21st-century economy."
Mr. Deising said conflicts between development and habitat conservation are being mitigated through land-use plans such as one recently completed for the oil-sands region which saw some energy leases cancelled.
That plan took years to achieve. Land-use discussions for the Little Smoky area haven't yet begun.
The Little Smoky herd consists of fewer than 100 animals and is considered in imminent danger of extirpation, which means making a species extinct in one area but not globally.
"More work needs to be done," Mr. Deising acknowledged.
He said the herd has remained stable for the last six years. However, that stability has been achieved largely through shooting wolves that prey on the caribou – about 650 since 2005.
"We have bought them some time with our wolf management plan," said Mr. Hervieux. "If we weren't reducing the excessive mortality on caribou, the game's up."
Mr. Hervieux concedes that shooting wolves won't work forever.
"If the habitat conditions for caribou very significantly decline from where they are currently, then I would say even with predator management it would be hard to keep caribou in the game.
"You can only hold back Mother Nature so long."
The logging industry has had more success in conserving habitat, Mr. Hervieux said.
"On the oil and gas side, we have fewer examples," he said. "It's complicated and I think it's fair to say that we're not there yet.
"There's a continued desire to work in that country, for natural resources to be extracted there, and there's a desire to conserve caribou. All of those things are hard to make work together.
"It's going to take some time to make these things all good."
Ms. Campbell has heard such pledges before.
"The [Alison] Redford government had promised there would be a better balance between environmental concerns and economic development," she said. "It's very disappointing there hasn't been in this case.
"Business goes ahead with business as usual. It makes a mockery of promises to 'better balance.'" Now, after more than 40 years in the bush, Mr. Cowles wonders how long he has left.
"I don't have any new areas to go to. I'm finished.
"Trappers are the only stewards of the land left. We're there to see it every day.
"[People] don't see the destruction. It doesn't bother them.
"If they were out there every day and they saw how beautiful it was and the animals that are in there, it would be a different story for sure."

GOP 2012 Education Platform Mirrors Romney Priorities
Tampa, Fla.
The GOP platform released Tuesday at the Republican National Convention closely mirrors an officially nominated presidential candidate Mitt Romney's plans for revamping K-12 education. It views expanded school choice as a major factor in fixing K-12 education, and celebrates local and state control while steering clear of getting rid of the U.S. Department of Education.
The education portion of the platform also:
•Doesn't see more money as the solution for improving education. That tracks with the budget proposed by the presumptive veep nominee, U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan, of Wisconsin, which calls for big cuts in domestic discretionary spending, the category that includes education.
•Pushes what does works in the GOP view instead of more funding: accountability on the part of administrators, parents and teachers; higher academic standards; programs that support the development of character and financial literacy; and periodic testing in math, science, reading, history, and geography.
•Calls for rigorous academic standards, but doesn't actually mention the words "Common Core State Standards Initiative." Instead, it "affirms higher expectations for all students and rejects the crippling bigotry of low expectations."
•Goes beyond endorsing the Romney push for special education and poor students to get federal dollars for school choice to endorse a wide variety of school choice options. (The choice portion of the platform echoes the 2008 GOP platform.) "We support options for learning, including home schooling and local innovations like single-sex classes, full-day school hours, and year-round schools." The platform also lists charter schools, open-enrollment, college lab schools, virtual schools, career and technical education, vouchers and tax credits among laudable school choice options.
•Supports technical education: "Because technology has become an essential tool of learning, proper implementation of technology is a key factor in providing every child equal access and opportunity."
•Calls for an expansion of the D.C. Opportunity Scholarship Program as a model for the rest of the country.
•Supports family literacy programs "because parents are a child's first teachers."
•Supports English immersion rather than bilingual education for students learning English;
•Favors abstinence education that teaches abstaining from sexual activity until marriage over what it called "family planning" classes. (However, calling abstinence-only education "effective" may be a stretch.)
•Wants to keep any federal funds from being used in mandatory or universal mental health, psychiatric, or socio-emotional screening programs. (Know more about what they're referring to? Tell us in the comments or email us, [email protected] and [email protected])
•As far as teachers go, supports legislation that changes the "highly qualified" teacher designation, created under the No Child Left Behind Act. Congress has tinkered with the definition of these teachers to include those with alternative certification, and the platform notes that highly qualified teachers shouldn't be defined just by their degrees to the exclusion of results in the classroom.
•In the higher education arena, calls on state officials to "ensure that our public colleges and universities be places of learning and the exchange of ideas, not zones of intellectual intolerance favoring the Left."
•Encourages expanded competition among four-year colleges as a way to combat the cost of higher education. As far as federal student aid, the platform says, "The federal government should not be in the business of originating student loans." Private sector student financing, however, is welcome.

When I was growing up, my family lived on a newly built housing estate. Just up the lane from us, within calling distance from home, was the woods and fields and a gulley with a stream. But I didn't go up the lane because I wanted to learn about the environment, I went there to play with friends. We were curious and inventive, and learned to be brave and sometimes cautious. We made dens and dams, running home or to school to tell our parents and teachers what we'd discovered during our games. We learned about the environment and wildlife while we played, not because somebody told us we ought to, but because we came across so many things: we were fascinated by the badger setts deep in the banks of earth, the foxes that came to have a look in our compost heap, the rabbits bounding across the field and the cuckoo calling in the hedge.
My new series for younger readers is called TIGER DAYS and it was inspired by my love of playing and discovery outdoors. It all started with an idea for a place I called Willowgate House. I Imagined what could be explored in a big old house with a huge overgrown garden that nobody had lived in for years. I wanted a character like Tiger Days to be the explorer – someone who isn't used to being in the outdoors. Although Tiger loves animals (especially tigers!) and lives in a town, she is only used to playing indoors, in her small back yard and sometimes the park, which is not the same as the wild countryside.
Adventures seem bigger when we're away from home, so I decided that Tiger wouldn't live at Willowgate, she would just be visiting someone… But who would be the best person to let Tiger make her own discoveries, to encourage her to become more confident, to nudge her if she needed help, and someone who wouldn't tell her to tidy her room or keep her clothes clean? That's when I created May Days, Tiger's grandmother, who used to live on a wildlife reserve in Africa and still helps animals in need. I didn't want Tiger to have met her grandmother in person before, so that her first visit to Willowgate would be really important. I thought that somebody like Tiger might expect to meet a little old lady who likes cups of tea, custard creams and an afternoon doze, so she'd be surprised to find May Days and they'd have a lot of fun and surprises together.
I loved writing this playful adventure that has lots of action (and some peril!), inventions and a few little tugs at the heart. In the story you'll also meet Tom, who stays with his grandfather next door to Willowgate and becomes Tiger's friend and partner in discovering the great outdoors. There's also a tent in the garden for a bedroom, a very tall hedge with a tunnel through it, a scary old shed where a monster might live and a whole cast of wildlife that will come and go from Willowgate. And one cat who might end up staying for good… I hope you enjoy TIGER DAYS.

First, the snow came. Then, night two of the spring experience.
The rain crashed down last night, the wind howled and the television announcer must have gotten a sore throat. Again.
"If you can hear this warning, seek shelter immediately! You are in the path of a very dangerous storm. Rotation has been spotted in the atmosphere and you need to find a safe location. A tornado has been spotted in your area. Go to the basement or an interior room. Stay away from windows! And if you see the storm approaching, find safety immediately!"
So...what do you think I did?
That's right. I went to the window and looked out. How else would I see the storm approaching?
It was dark. I didn't see a thing.
And go to the basement? By myself? Doesn't this guy know there are spiders down there? Fortunately, there's also a bottle of rum on the shelf beside the furnace so if I ever really do need to seek shelter maybe I won't mind the spiders so much.
Safe location? Is he out of his mind? By the sound of the beeps and buzzings coming from the television, the safest spot might be Tahiti. Or maybe Barbados, which honestly doesn't sound like a bad idea at all.
Still stormy today. I'll keep an eye on the weather channel, my mind on my manuscript and stay close to the basement door. I hope I don't have to go down there, but with this stormy weather I'm staying prepared.
I'm horrified by the devastation this weather system has left behind. My thoughts and prayers are with those whose lives have been impacted by the rash of tornadoes. So very sad.
What about you? How're things in your neck of the woods?

CORRECTION: When I stated in last week's Slumgullion that The Handcuffs would be opening for Cliff Johnson and The Happy Jacks at The Abbey Pub on January 1st, I'm pretty sure it was because I saw it listed that way in one of Chicago's daily newspapers. Turns out that information is wrong. Thin Grin, which is comprised of members of the power pop group Green and The Slamming Watusis, (an offshoot of the punk band Bohemia), actually is the opening act. I apologize to all concerned.
Australian rockers The Church, whose shimmering hits "Under The Milky Way" and "Reptile" graced FM airwaves in the 1980s, will be performing the entire albums Untitled #23, Priest Aura, and Starfish when they come back to the States for the "Future Past Perfect" Tour. The band has dates scheduled in February for Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Chicago, Philadelphia, and New York, and will be reissuing its back catalog on Second Motion Records.
The Britanicas have been in the holiday spirit lately. The power pop trio is offering a free mp3 of its version of "What Child Is This" on drummer-vocalist Joe Algeri's freewheeling audio page. An acoustic take on "Last Christmas" that was very recently recorded by Algeri and bassist Herb Eimerman will get its premiere on Adam Waltemire's Pop Garden Radio Show tomorrow night (December 18th) at 8PM Eastern Time on AM 1300 WMEL, as well as online.
Singer-songwriter Ellen Rosner and her new band The Bubbly Creek All Stars will be one of the performers on the bill at the Like A Hole In The Head benefit this coming Monday night (December 20th) at Martyrs on Lincoln Avenue. Proceeds will go to help Richard Lynch, who recently underwent surgery for a brain tumor, pay his medical bills. Other acts participating include Suzy Brack & The New Jack Lords, Lou Carlozo, and Ripley Caine, as well as a special one-night only reunion of Ulele. The benefit begins at 6:30PM.
The Crossroads Eric Clapton Guitar Festival 2010 DVD, which was recorded in Chicago last June, has become available just in time for holiday gift-giving. The concert included Clapton, Jeff Beck, Sheryl Crow, Vince Gill, Buddy Guy, B.B. King, John Mayer, Steve Winwood, Ronnie Wood, and ZZ Top. Bill Murray also appeared, adding comic relief. The DVD includes some behind the scenes footage.
Another stocking stuffer this year could be Chicago photographer Linda Matlow's newly revised edition of her Hardcover book. It's a 48-page retrospective that includes photos of various rock musicians on and off stage dating back to 1979. Hardcover is available for $65 from Matlow's website.
Rolling Stone reports that a rare tape of Pink Floyd performing in concert in 1967 has been found in Sweden. This was back when Syd Barrett was a member. Writer Jem Aswad reports that it will be broadcast next May at the Golden Circle club in Stockholm.
Bon Mots, the melodic power pop band that includes Eric Chial of Penthouse Sweets, is playing at the Double Door tomorrow, December 18th, along with The Damnwells and The Darlings.
Corky Siegel and Megon McDonough will perform together at a Cocktail Christmas Party this Sunday, December 19th at the Metropolis Performing Arts Centre in Arlington Heights. The performance, which will be rendered in a cabaret setting, starts at 7:30PM.
Veteran Chicago power pop band The Webstirs will be part of a multi-act showcase at The Beat Kitchen on January 22nd. Other acts include The Noses (billed as a Love Kit reunion) Wally Dogger, This Magazine Is Haunted, and Cotton Pony.
The 2011 Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame Inductees have been announced, and my choice, Donovan, did not make the cut. Still, the induction of the critically-acclaimed but defiantly non-commercial Dr. John and Tom Waits helps deflect the long-standing complaint that The Hall only honors best-selling artists.
Aliotta, Haynes & Jeremiah have recorded a Christmas version of their timeless FM radio hit "Lake Shore Drive" that's available on their website. The trio also has a deal going where fans can get a customized version of the original "Lake Shore Drive" with their name inserted. I have a vague memory of Aliotta, Haynes & Jeremiah doing something similar with radio station call letters back in the day. But that was a long time ago, dearie.

By Jennifer Rizzo, with reporting from Pam Benson
Former CIA Director David Petraeus testified on Capitol Hill on Friday that the attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, was an act of terrorism committed by al Qaeda-linked militants.
That's according to Rep. Peter King (R-NY), who spoke to reporters after the closed hearing, which lasted an hour and 20 minutes.
The account Petraeus gave was different from the description the Obama administration gave on September 14, King said.
Then, the attack was described as "spontaneous," the result of a protest against an anti-Muslim film that got out of control outside the compound.
Petraeus told lawmakers Friday that he had discussed the possibility of it being a terrorist attack in his initial briefing in September, according to King.
"He had told us that this was a terrorist attack and there were terrorists involved from the start," King said. "I told him, my questions, I had a very different recollection of that (earlier account)," he said. "The clear impression we (lawmakers) were given was that the overwhelming amount of evidence was that it arose out of a spontaneous demonstration and it was not a terrorist attack."
The "spontaneous" adjective was "minimized" during Petraeus' testimony Friday, King said.
The cause of that discrepancy is unclear, King said.
Earlier an official said that Petraeus' aim in testifying was to clear up "a lot of misrepresentations of what he told Congress initially."
The former CIA director was expected to tell the congressional committees that he did develop unclassified talking points in the days after the attack but had had no direct involvement in developing the ones used by Susan Rice, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations.
Rice has been under fire for suggesting the attack on the consulate was a spontaneous event spurred by a protest against the anti-Muslim film.
King said the original talking points were much more specific about the involvment of Al Qaeda.
"Final ones just said indications of extremists," King said. "It said indicate even though it was clearly evident to the CIA that there was Al Qaeda involvement."
Questions still remain over the development of the talking points.
"Basically it is still not clear how the final talking points emerged. (Petraeus) said it went through a long process involving many agencies including the Department of Justice, including the State Department and no one knows yet exactly who came up with the final version of the talking points other than to say the original talking points prepared by the CIA were different from the ones that were finally put out," said King.
Rep. Adam Smith (D-WA), the ranking member of the House Armed Services Committee disagreed with King, saying that the talking points did not change.
"The talking points were not changed," Smith said. "The talking points were very basic and straight forward."
Several democrats who were briefed said Petraeus explained the unclassified talking points did not make mention of extremist elements because it was still classified – and could have compromised intelligence sources, CNN's Dana Bash reported.
Smith took part in a separate briefing with the Director of National Intelligence, James Clapper.
Clapper read to the group the original three talking points used by Ambassador Rice. There was no mention of al Qaeda or Ansar Al Sharia in those points, according to Smith.
"This has become so partisan and so political," he said.
A senior U.S. official told CNN that the talking points were drafted by the CIA and "reflected what it believed at that point in time." The memo was reviewed "CIA leadership and coordinated in the interagency at a senior level," the official said.
The first draft of the CIA unclassified talking points stated there were indications the attack was linked to al Qaeda, but during the interagency process when the talking points were reviewed, al Qaeda was changed to extremists. The official said the change "was not a political decision."
"The points were not, as has been insinuated by some, edited to minimize the role of extremists, diminish terrorist affiliations, or play down that this was an attack. There were legitimate intelligence and legal issues to consider, as is almost always the case when explaining classified assessments publicly." the official explained. "First, the information about individuals linked to al-Qaeda was derived from classified sources. Second, when links were so tenuous—as they still are—it makes sense to be cautious before pointing fingers so you don't set off a chain of circular and self-reinforcing assumptions. Third, it is important to be careful not to prejudice a criminal investigation in its early stages."
The official said the controversy over the word "terrorist" caught the intelligence community by "surprise."
"Most people understand that saying "extremists" were involved in a direct assault on the mission isn't shying away from the idea of terrorist involvement," the official said. "People assumed that it was apparent in this context that extremists who attack US facilities and kill Americans are, by definition, terrorists. Because of the various elements involved in the attack, the term extremist was meant to capture the range of participants."
The talking points, the senior U.S. official explained, "were a reflection of the understanding at the time that could be provided at an unclassified level. They were preliminary and were never meant to be the final word on the issue."
On who authorized the final version of the talking points, a US intelligence official said, "We're reviewing the coordination trail."

Flash runs inside Photoshop CS3!
Psst… Wanna watch "PhotoshopTV" clips inside Photoshop itself? How about making a script that can access the network, upload/download data*, and control Photoshop?
Sorry if I'm a bit worked up, but I love reporting that the Photoshop CS3 beta supports running Flash SWF files as script interfaces. Whereas in CS2 scripts can feature fairly simple UIs (e.g. the Image Processor), in CS3 they'll be able to take advantage of all the richness of Flash and Flex. To see it in action, download this sample** (with MXML source), unzip it, and put the contents into "Adobe Photoshop CS3/Presets/Scripts." You'll be able to use it to run other scripts and even watch streaming video. For immediate gratification, here are a couple of screenshots.
So, why do I think this is a big deal? For starters, we have to make developing for Photoshop radically easier and faster. If you want to make a new component for Yahoo Widgets (neé Konfabulator), you simply run a script in Photoshop; compare that to the task of building a Photoshop plug-in. Photoshop will grow inexorably larger and more powerful, and to keep it usable we need to make it trivial to tune the app to particular needs/tastes. That means easy extensibility & customization (up-level what you need, get rid of what you don't). It's here that Flash & Flex can play a great role, enabling fast, rich, lightweight, cross-platform development.
Supporting SWFs in scripts is just one step, but it's a big one. Displaying a video stream might seem odd, but I've got some big designs on ways we can connect people through the apps, make learning immediate, and more. Embedding the Flash Player across the Adobe product line gives us a way to enable rich widgets that run across applications & platforms. Exciting times ahead.
* With your permission, of course.
** Note that there's a bug with display of dynamic data on Intel Macs
I'm not gonna lie, John, that just gave me goosebumps.
Doesn't that mean that I will soon have to scan my DL'd Photoshop scripts through a future version of an anti-virus package to make sure that they're clean? Oh, I suppose I should scan everything prior to touching it with my fingers while I am at it. Thanks for the updates, happy holidays!
[Cool–same to you. :-) –J.]
This opens huge opportunities with "Just in time "/rapid elearning from the enterprise level. Bringign guys up to speed who use photoshop for less artistic production work has been a huge problem for me. Are you folks looking into Connect capabilities as well.
[Well, the great thing is that embedding the Flash Player opens the door to everything that Flash supports, including Connect. –J.]
Having some kind of integration with LMS standards would be cool as well. Much nicer to have the student boot up the app they need training on and interface with the lms instead of going through the LMS front end when they want small knowledge objects. -ethan
[Exactly. It's like putting M&M's in the checkout aisle at the grocery store. Good bits should be a click away. ("Got 30 seconds? Want to see something cool?") And that's just the start of what I'm pitching. –J.]
Interesting – will this open the door to 'extending' Photoshop as well, I wonder – ie User Custom Palettes!
[Absolutely–I think it's essential that we get there, although it's not in the cards for CS3. Being able to *easily* make & share palettes that tune PS to your (or an industry's) needs is an important step that we need to take. –J.]
Powerful tool!
Wonderful! the possibility to have streaming video and the ability to control interface elements in Photoshop will make Photoshop much much easier to train people on. I can see publishers coming out with a whole line of interactive training titles.
This makes up for the ugly logo :)
[Whew! ;-D –J.]
Are there plans to extend extension manager support to photoshop? that would allow an easy way to share custom palettes.-ethan
[We're certainly talking about it. I think we can do even better than that, although doing so may take some time. –J.]
I'm totally down for this.
Any news on if this is going to be across CS3 or at least in the three core apps?
I realize that having parity among all software titles in a single version release is difficult on a number of levels but from a user standpoint, it is always frustrating to see the apps in a suite not behaving quite like products designed to opperate in a semi-uniform manner where possible from an interface standpoint.*
[I know, and we totally agree. It's sometimes tough to trade off the desire for uniformity with the desire to let each team race ahead as fast as possible. –J.]
Like, I'd LOVE to hear that the new interface PS has with the pallets will be available for Illustrator as well.
If you don't know or aren't allowed to answer on these questions, is there anyone that knows or is able to that we can beg, bribe or threaten to get that info from? :)
*I get that you've (Adobe) only had two cracks at this thus far which isn't that much when some apps are already very long in the tooth out there by themselves but I hope CS3 will show a little more unification in that regard.
[The new palette system will make its way into Illustrator, InDesign, Flash, and GoLive. As for SWF support, I don't know where everyone will shake out this time. It's something that we're likely to push in a bigger, more cohesive way in the future. –J.]
Looks great,very interesting. I've done some basic scripting and UI creation in CS2. Does this mean that we will be able to create the Flash interface elements in CS3 or will we need to build the UI in Flash first ?
[You'll need to build the UI in Flash or Flex. –J.]
I just want to send LOVE to the great people at ADOBE! This is GREAT news for us nerds! Now, give us a more understandable API and we are all set!
[Could you provide some specifics on what API changes you'd find useful? –Thx, J.]
Have to add:
After testing – can we PLEASE have non-modal windows for scripts!
[Ah, I'm afraid not for this rev, but we're getting there. In the meantime, you can have a SWF in a window in the foreground, sending and receiving commands to and from Photoshop. –J.]
I guess what I meant was stuff that require the scriptlistener plugin to get a grip of. I understand that this is how photoshop works (I've done some serious InDesign Automation using C# and some DLL I cant remember the name of right now). The thing is – it might just be me, but I have a hard time figuring out HOW to do stuff when I'm in the flow and KNOW what I want to do. Know what I'm getting at? To be completely honest I haven't had enough time to really dig deep into scripting and CS3. Thanks for listening and I'll be starting flash here and enjoy!
[We completely hear you. I really want to make it possible to record clean JavaScript from Photoshop, so that you don't have to use the existing listener and/or scour tons of documentation just to figure out what something is called. We didn't get there this time, but we'll keep trying. –J.]
This does look like it will add some exiting possibilities for Photoshop scripts. However, I don't see myself using this much as I have gotton comfortable with building the GUI's within the JavaScript window builder. Having to make the dialogs in Flash first would just add an extra step to the process, and if I am not using any Flash-specific features it seems like more of a cosmetic option if nothing else.
Are Flash-based dialogs the direction you are hoping all scripts will move to in the future? I am just curious if development of the old JavaScript GUI system will be abandoned in favor of the Flash way (I hope not!).
[I have a really hard time imagining that happening. The point isn't to force anyone to use Flash or Flex; rather, it's just meant to open up some new possibilities for rich, lightweight interface development. –J.]
Either way, I am excited to see that all this attention is being given to the scripting aspect of Photoshop. It is an amazing feature of the program and I love to see it grow!
[Cool! :-) –J.]
I have to buy another program to build this Flash UI? What program?
[You actually don't have to buy anything else, as far as I know. You could use Flash, Flex, or the free Flex SDK. –J.]
Where can I find the documentation on using the Flash UI in Photoshop CS3 Javascript?
[Nothing exists that's specific to the integration. Rather, you need to consult the regulsr PS scripting guide (which should be in the Photoshop app folder) as well as Flash/Flex documentation. Hopefully more docs will be forthcoming. –J.]
Someone said there is a JavaScriptToolsGuideCS3 document that explains this?
I'm looking forward to checking out the new scripting features.
We've been discussing this on the PS-Scripts web site: http://www.ps-scripts.com/bb/viewtopic.php?t=1334&highlight=flash
[Ah–thanks for the link. I figured it must have popped up again as the traffic has increased recently. –J.]
You're the only one updating your blog! Keep up the good work. Thanks for taking the time to keep us informed.
[Sure; thanks for checking it out! –J.]
Mike Downey mentionned this to me at FITC and i really had a hard time finding about this.. you should really have advertised that more.. that is really something cool.
[Ah, don't worry; I have more promotions in store! I'm just waiting until the tryout version is posted so that people can immediately check it out. –J.]
But i really hope you will add non-modal flash tool palette like it exist in flash (dockable and such)!
Then it will be an invaluable tools for scripters and really help cms integration….
[Cool, glad to hear it. –J.]
Totally of topic (..sorry..)
In the provided link – what software did you use to record on tha Mac?
[I use Snapz Pro from Ambrosia. –J.]
Hey John, i'm trying this out now but i'm running into problems with the externalInterface.call from flash. Instead of it connecting with the javascript methods i get a security error saying my flash is illegally trying connect to the internet.
Is there any documentation on this, or do you have any advice?
[Michael, shoot me a mail (jnack at adobe) and we'll talk more. (I tried replying to your comment but my message got bounced.) Same goes for anyone else who's interested in using Flash/Flex to develop atop Photoshop and the Suite. –Thanks, J.]
