Staff-recommended viewing from the KPL catalog.
A couple of months ago, KPL started to circulate Blu-ray DVDs. Since then many patrons who do not own a Blu-ray player have checked one out on accident. I understand how this can be confusing since a standard DVD and Blu-ray DVD look exactly alike! The trick is to look at the case. A Blu-ray case is smaller, usually labeled with the Blu-ray logo, and is the color blue. We will be getting more Blu-ray DVDs each month in both the Hot Picks and circulating collections.

The father-in-law of Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Kellen Winslow has been found safe at a U.S.-Mexico border crossing.
Anaheim police were notified at about 9 a.m. Saturday that Enrique Guzman, who has Alzheimer's disease, was found at the Calexico border crossing, Anaheim police Sgt. Rick Martinez said.
The 67-year-old Guzman was last seen Wednesday at an Anaheim gas
station in his blue Chevy Camaro.
Guzman appeared to be healthy. His daughter went to the border
crossing and met him at about noon, Martinez said in an e-mail.
Winslow, a Pro Bowler in 2007, was a first-round draft pick out of Miami in 2004 by the Cleveland Browns. He was traded to Tampa Bay after last season.

Welcome to Steathcraft Boats
I can still remember my first day of fly fishing. I was wading the Pere Marquette River in Northwestern Michigan on a warm June evening about 30 years ago. The river was full of trout rising to some sort of mayfly. I was throwing a discount store bought fly, using a clicker fly reel with no drag and a cheap fly rod. I stumbled upon a huge trout rising against the bank about 30 feet away, but with my heavy, slow action fiberglass rod, I couldn't throw a loop tight enough to reach it but failed to get the hookup. I headed back to the car after dark, disappointed, but motivated to beg, borrow or steal one of those fancy new graphite rods that was just starting to change the fishing world forever.
There is almost no aspect of our sport that hasn't been revolutionized by the new high tech materials that science has delivered to the marketplace. Graphite, kevlar, titanium, ceramic, high impact epoxies, thermoplastic resins...the list goes on and on. Even our clothing and waders have been modernized using waterproof breathable shells and moisture wicking fabrics.
So why are driftboat builders still wallowing in the past, using the same inexpensive fiberglass cloth and brittle resins that made our old fly rods so heavy and unresponsive?
This isn't true of the rest of the performance boat world. Offshore racing boats, America's Cup sailboats, high tech flats boats and even high performance canoe manufacturers have all switched to combinations of carbon and kevlar, combined with high-impact cores and the new super-epoxies and resins.
We looked at the driftboat design with a completely clean slate. No preconceptions. None of those old "it's always been done like this" or "Hyde sells a lot of boats by doing it like that." Not even any "sure that would be nice, but it would be cheaper to do it this way."
The only criteria was whether a change would make the boat lighter, faster, more impact resistant, quieter and less visible to fish. We demanded a boat that would float shallower, row easier, sneak closer and hold up to the abuse that a guide would give it.
After all, we are fishing guides ourselves, and frankly, we were tired of bright colored boats that made lots of noise when they bumped a rock scaring our clients fish away before they had an opportunity to catch them and thereby costing us tip money. StealthCraft Boats feature a virtual Who's Who list of high tech materials. The hull combines the extreme toughness of kevlar, the lasting strength of epoxy, the lightweight stiffness of graphite, the sound deadening properties of aircraft grade polypro honeycomb and the slipperiness of an ultra high molecular weight Duraslick bottom.
100 pounds lighter than any of our competitors boats and tougher than even an aluminum drifter.

3.0 out of 5 stars Restored?
This is a great silent film, but don't expect this "restored" version to live up to Kino's edition of "Metropolis." There is quite a lot of scratches & trash, especially toward the beginning, and I wonder exactly what qualifies it as "restored," as there is no accompanying before/after feature. It's really enjoyable if you select the...

5.0 out of 5 stars Which Version Should You Buy?,
E. Dolnack (Atlanta, GA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Nosferatu (Full Screen) [Import] (DVD)
There are a number of versions of the original Murnau film "Nosferatu" floating around out there, and as a big fan of the film, I've bought most of them and will discuss them so that you don't have to waste time and money trying to decide which to buy. Unfortunately, I am only going to compare the current DVD releases however, and only those in my part of the globe - Region 1. By all means, avoid the embarrassingly bad VHS version with the modern score by "Type-O-Negative".
This is a black & white silent film for those who don't know. Sound wasn't invented for another five years after this film was made and color wasn't introduced for another ten to twelve after that. Bram Stoker's widow successfully had most copies of this film destroyed by infringement of copyright during the twenties, so the few existing prints today are sadly in poor condition. Most films in the silent era were color-tinted, and rarely viewed as pure black & white (so don't put all the blame on Ted Turner for starting that trend). As there was no soundtrack in those days, live orchestras performed the music behind the film. Today, if the original score is not known, (as is the case with Nosferatu), then we try and "fake it" with a modern composition recorded onto the cassette, laserdisc, or DVD. Some modern scores are fitting and appropriate, while others just stink (such as the Type-O-Negative score). The other problem with older films is that projectors weren't standardized yet, so people produced films at all sorts of different "running speeds". Today, all film is photographed at 24 frames a second, but back then it was 20, 18, 30, whatever...this is why many films of that era, when translated to present day film, run speedy like a bad episode of the "Keystone Cops".
Basically, there are only two DVD versions available that you should consider if you are at all serious about adding this legendary classic to your home collection.
First, there's the IMAGE Entertainment version, which has two musical scores: one score is kind of lame and silly, while the second organ score is the better of the two. The DVD in tinted brightly as well. The real gem on this version is an outstanding commentary soundtrack by a German film expert that is so educational.
Second, is the best version available, which is produced by Kino. This version has the sharper picture, a slightly better running speed and contains a few scenes not seen in other version (Kino's is also the longest running version available). The Kino version also comes with two scores. The first score is my favorite available and would be perfect if not for a few "vocal" improvisations of a woman gasping when the actress onscreen is scared. It's embarrassing and cheezy. The second score is a completely inappropriate "techno" version that sounds more like a cheap Nine-Inch-Nails rip-off and doesn't fit the film at all. (I don't understand why people insist on giving this film a modern musical score to emphasize it's horror aspects when all they do is demean it). The Kino version sadly does not have a commentary track or it would be perfect. The Kino version is also color-tinted. I would personally like to see a version without color-tinting as I just find that annoying.
But as of this date, June 2003, the Kino version of the original 1922 Nosferatu is the one to buy. But if you want the wonderful commentary soundtrack, then go with the IMAGE Entertainment version instead.

4.0 out of 5 stars One of my favourites, but definately get the Kino version.,
KrismarieD "Krissy" (Nova Scotia, Canada) - See all my reviews
This movie, as most people probably know already, is about a vampire, much like the Dracula novel, which it was based on. There are huge differences between Dracula and Nosferatu, however; Nosferatu is not this charming, cape-wearing, handsome villain who oozes sex appeal. He's bald, hunched-over, with pointed ears and strange rodent-teeth.
You arn't meant to be attracted to him, you're meant to fear him. And when he travels in the movie, he doesn't go alone; he brings plague rats with him.
I love this movie. It's not so much scary as creepy, though I did get genuinely frightened during one of the castle scenes with him. Most of the movie plays on atmosphere, and the music, which is a good reason to get the Kino version, as the music is actually GOOD, compared to most versions of this film.
I never found this film boring, but I can see how others might find it so at first. You can't watch this movie expecting a modern day movie sans talking. The shooting style is different, the acting style different. Like I said above, it's not shock-style fear being created; is drawn-out, atmospheric creepiness.
And the acting you see isn't over-acting; it's the only way to really convey an emotion in a silent film.
Sorry, I'm rambling. All I can really end up saying is that I liked it. I loved it, actually. But an IMPORTANT final note; sound isn't the only reason to get the Kino version. The transfer is so clear, you forgot it's in black and white. It is more expensive, but definately worth it. Most other versions just arn't worth seeing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Truly frightening,
Jeffrey Leach (Omaha, NE USA) - See all my reviews
It always surprises me when I suddenly notice there are horror films I should have seen years ago but am only seeing for the first time now. F.W. Murnau's 1922 classic take on the vampire legend, "Nosferatu" is one of these films. What horror film fan would not take some time to watch this legendary creation? Well, me for one. I put it off for years due to my general dislike of the vampire sub genre. You can only take so many debonair duffers tooling around a castle sinking their fangs into the throats of girls before you give up in frustration. A few vampire films I like, such as "Fright Night," but as a general rule I can leave them more often than I can take them. It only took a few minutes of "Nosferatu" to discover this film wasn't going to be the type of vampire film I am used to seeing. You won't see a Frank Langella or Christopher Lee type playing the lead bloodsucker in this disturbing movie. One look at the hideous visage on the DVD cover provides ample evidence that the vampire in this movie won't wow the ladies with his good looks or suave charm. The vampire in "Nosferatu" is exactly how a vampire should look.
Set in Germany back in the nineteenth century, "Nosferatu" tells the horrific tale of an entire town stricken by the evil machinations of the rat-like Count Orlok, a truly sinister figure both loathsome and repellent. After a real estate agent named Knock sells the count his property, he falls under the spell of its gruesome tenant. The agent wants Orlok to come to Bremen, so he sends his assistant Hutter out to the castle. Harker's virginal wife Ellen objects to the sudden departure of her husband, but knows he must fulfill the obligations of his job. The scenes involving the trip to Orlok's pad and Hutter's subsequent stay are masterpieces of ominous foreshadowing. Animals bolt in panic as the coach nears the castle, the villagers fall silent when Hutter mentions Orlok, and his driver adamantly refuses to take the assistant to the castle. The count sends his own coach, an unusual device that moves supernaturally thanks to Murnau's use of fast motion photography. Obviously, strange things are afoot even before the vampire goes on his rampage.
Hutter falls prey to Orlok during his stay at the castle, but manages to escape and head back to Bremen to warn the town. His wife, in the meantime, suffers strange dreams and hallucinations that foreshadow her own encounter with the vampire. Knock goes off his rocker, and is institutionalized at the local jail. As for Orlok, he boards a vessel and heads to Bremen and a meeting with Hutter's virgin bride. The scenes on the ship are masterfully chilly. The count hides in a coffin in the hold of the ship, rising to feast on the unwary sailors. His movements on the boat, often accompanied by dozens of rats, nauseates even as it fascinates the viewer. By the time the movie reached this point, I couldn't think of a horror film character more hideous or repulsive than Orlok. When the ship reaches port, doctors fear a plague has killed the crew. They are partially right. A plague has reached town, but one these doctors have never seen before. Before long, townspeople start to drop like flies as Orlok pounds the cobblestones at night looking for Hutter's wife. The conclusion to the film involves no stakes, no holy water or crucifixes, but a good old fashioned German girl using her purity to destroy evil. I'll leave it you to see how she does it.
"Nosferatu" is a classic because a perceptive viewer can see so many themes in it. Is it a movie about sexuality, or Weimer politics, or a foreshadowing of the National Socialists? I'd like to promote a view of the movie I haven't seen yet (although it may be out there somewhere). I couldn't help but see a lot of potential anti-Semitic themes playing out in the movie. Orlok's physical presence resembles in no small way the depictions of Jews that often appeared in Germany even before the Third Reich rose to power. Associating the count with rats and plague is similar to how the Jews were portrayed in notorious anti-Semitic propaganda. I think, too, that the encrypted letter the count sent to Knock underscored what many Germans thought about Jews, that they communicated in esoteric languages and practiced a strange religion. Orlok, when he arrives in Germany, is an outsider, a dangerous foreigner seeking to kill and corrupt the good German people. Again, the Jews were always seen as outsiders with a hidden hostility to gentiles. The conclusion of the film only confirmed this thesis in my eyes, when a pure German woman using her wiles managed to defeat the evil count. Germans always worried about Jews marrying their women, so the idea that a girl could not only withstand the advances of the count but also use his lust to destroy him must have resonated deeply with certain segments of the audience. I could go on and on, matching certain scenes with how many Germans perceived the Jews.
I hope the film isn't anti-Semitic. But as a horror film, it is unmatched. Murnau's technical experimentation along with Max Schreck's portrayal of Orlok make this film a must see for horror fans. The DVD is good too, with a ton of extras. You get extensive liner notes on location sights, notes on Murnau's influences, still galleries, several different soundtracks, and a commentary track from a film historian. The quality of the picture transfer didn't look too good, but the movie is over eighty years old. If you haven't seen "Nosferatu" yet, you're missing out on a great experience.

5.0 out of 5 stars Regarding the Alpha, Image, and Kino DVD Versions,
ixta_coyotl (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Nosferatu (Silent) (DVD)
Of course this is a haunting film, certainly on everyone's short list of the greatest silent films in history. But which version to buy?
The Alpha Video DVD, like all of their silent DVDs, has an appallingly poor video transfer. You can watch it, but you wouldn't want to if you didn't have to. It seems like all of Alpha's old films are too dark on the left, and too bright on the right. When a character wanders to the left of the screen, he disappears, when he goes to the right, he is almost washed out. Intertitles can only be read clearly from the middle to the right margin. All the figures are grainy, like you need to adjust the sharpness, but can't. I could only recommend a Alpha Video silent DVD if absolutely no other option is available. I am a cheap guy who loves a good deal, but I think Amazon should seriously consider whether or not to even sell their shoddy products.
The Image Entertainment has by far the best looking cover and artwork, as I find they do for most of their products (compare their cover for The Thief of Baghdad with Kino's). But the soundtrack options are quite poor on Nosferatu, and are nearly as distracting to a proper enjoyment of the film as Alpha Video's terrible image quality.
The current winner for Nosferatu is certainly the Kino version. The image quality equals the Image Entertainment version, but the music is much better. Its not a long shot, however, as the cover art is inferior to Image's. And I still agree with the reviewer who wrote that all of these versions are running too fast. IMDB lists the running time as 94 minutes, but all of three of these versions clock in just over 80 minutes (10% too fast?).

5.0 out of 5 stars Timeless,
By A Customer
I originally bought this simply for my intellectual appreciation for silent films, but I found that I truly enjoyed it. The primitive special effects add to the creepiness of this movie, such as the choppy stop-motion sequences in which a coffin lid moves itself into place, and the fast-forward way a horse and carriage moves through the woods. Also notable is the excellent organ music that adds a real ambiance. This is perfect for a classic halloween viewing. I abolutely loved it. My only complaint is that the guy on the directors cut has THE most boring voice. But all in all an excellent film

5.0 out of 5 stars Creepy Atmospheric Classic,
Polkadotty (Mountains of Western North Carolina) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Nosferatu (DVD)
I recall seeing this film as a child, around the age of 9 or so, and being scared witless by Max Schreck's Count Orlok. Schreck's vampyre still remains ultra creepy ~ those long, clawlike hands, those deepset eyes, those scraggly sharp teeth ~ and perhaps my favorite incarnation of the bloodsucking undead. The photography of the Carpathian countryside is breathtaking, adding authentic atmosphere to the setting. You are, actually, 'there'. The special effects are also impressive for the time, and the tinting of the film, I believe, is original. Many silent films were tinted: blue for night, red for danger, sepia or orange for bright day, green for other effects. I make a plug for Greta Schroeder, who did an admirable job of pacing distractedly, filled with awful foreboding. I was quite satisified with the choice of soundtracks on the DVD, and my 17-year-old son had a blast switching between them as the mood struck. You ought to see this at least once ~ it's the one that started them all.

5.0 out of 5 stars Review of 2 Disc Blu Ray remaster!,
Stephen Bieth (Mississauga/ Canada) - See all my reviews
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Nosferatu: 2-Disc Deluxe Remastered Edition [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
I still find this one of the creepiest Vampire movies ever. I had what I thought was a pretty good copy on DVD. I was wrong. For a film approaching it's 100th anniversary it looks stunning. The full 90 minute film has never looked so good. It has a beautiful 5.1 music score to accompany the film (also plays back in stereo). Uses colour too enhance the film. This is NOT colorized it uses colour to tint the whole frame. So it gives you a feel of being day or night, indoor or outdoor. I did not know if I would like this but I do think it works very well without destroying the black and white experience.
At around $30 it is a little pricey but this was done by Kino. They are a studio that has put out some great classic films as well as excellent documentaries (Levon Helm, I Ain't In It For My Health). I usually hold off if a title seems pricey but Kino seems to throw the money at their next project. I really look forward to their next release!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great DVD and restoration.,
Matt Hughes (Canada) - See all my reviews
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I've been interested in this movie since the 80s and 90s when I would see it in clips on tv or in music videos etc. then managed to grab a VHS copy sometime ago which I still have, but which is not near the video and audio quality of this DVD. I picked up the 'restored' version from KINO a few years back on DVD and thought it was pretty decent, but now just got this updated Ultimate Edition and can say it is by far the most complete and best looking version you can get, all with original music added back in and original intertitles etc. I love how KINO takes these old historic films like Nosferatu, Metropolis etc. and scoures the earth to find missing footage, info or original music and painstakingly treats it digitally frame-by-frame, cleans it up and pieces it all back together to present it as it was intended to be seen at its original premier, it's so interesting to me. You don't get that with movies today, everything is so cut-and-dry today. So yea, the picture is as clear as day and stable and the original music has been pieced back together and added back to the movie. But you have to consider the era of the film, it's not the most interesting or engaging film ever, the pace can be slow and can get boring, but it's worth it to see a historic film like this in near perfect form as it was intended to be seen, finally.

5.0 out of 5 stars Blood of the vampire,
E. A Solinas "ea_solinas" (MD USA) - See all my reviews
Given all the fuss about them in the last few years, you would think that vampires movies and TV had only just been invented. But they've always been fascinating to moviemakers -- and "Nosferatu" was the original vampire movie, even predating Bela Lugosi's "Dracula." It's haunting, creepy and sometimes bizarre.
It's a very loose adaptation of Bram Stoker's classic story, "Dracula" -- a young real estate agent named Hutter (Gustav von Wangenheim) is sent to the Carpathians to sell a mansion to a reclusive nobleman named Count Orlock (the sublimely creepy Max Schreck). Locals refuse to go near the castle, strange creatures roam nearby, and Orlock makes weird comments about "your precious blood!"
Yeah, you know the drill -- Orlock is obviously a vampire who has a craving for Hutter's hearty Germanic blood, and Hutter's troll boss knows what he is. Hutter soon realizes what Orlock is, but he's too late to stop the vampire from departing from his ancient castle and going to Hutter's own hometown. In true vampire tradition, he also leaves a trail of corpses behind him -- and there's only one way to stop him.
Given the current manias about stuff like "Twilight" and "True Blood," it's both refreshing and humbling to see that the best vampire movies are also some of the oldest. "Nosferatu" is only loosely based on Bram Stoker's novel (though closely enough that it was ordered destroyed by Stoker's widow), it's absolutely soaked in gothic atmosphere and creeping horror.
Oh sure, "Nosferatu" has the overacting and goofy makeup of the silent era, especially from any actors who are not Schreck. But F.W. Murnau sketched together some truly brilliant direction here -- he coats "Nosferatu" in creepy silhouettes and freaky moments of sorrow and terror (note the symbolism of the venus flytrap!).
As for the vampire himself, Max Schreck simply RULES this movie. The other actors are decent, but Schreck is simply sublime as the rat-toothed, clawed, ghoulish Orlock, and manages to give one of the most subtle performances in any silent film. He's literally the antithesis of the sparkly angsty teenyboppers of current vampire crazes.
"Nosferatu" is the original vampire movie, and remains one of the best almost ninety years after its release. Spooky, weird and yes, sometimes scary.

Nosferatu is definetly a classic film ; not only in the genre but also out of all movies.This was the first Silent film I've ever seen.And I was suprised that it actually held my attention.Count Orlock (The Vampire) was extremely chilly and haunting.The music was also well composed.I've heard there are many versions of the film so I think I've seen a very good one.It is a very dark haunting story.The castles and Carpathians add to the mood that was set for the film.I've also heard that there was a big lawsuit that Bram Stoker's wife made against the maker.This is a truly deep and intriguing movie for it's time and quality.Make sure to check it out.F.W. Murnau's German silent classic is the original--and some say most frightening--DRACULA adaptation, taking Bram Stoker's novel and turning it into a haunting, shadowy dream full of dread. Names had to be changed from the novel when Stoker's wife charged his novel was being filmed without proper permission. Running times vary depending upon versions of the film. Count Orlok, the rodentlike vampire frighteningly portrayed by Max Schreck, is perhaps the most animalistic screen portrayal of a vampire ever filmed. The design was copied by Werner Herzog in his 1979 remake and by Tobe Hooper for his telefilm of Stephen King's SALEM'S LOT that same year. NOSFERATU is an eerie, menacing film that should not be missed.

Astronomical Misconceptions
|George Noory
|Phil Plait, Scott Rubins, Paul Dowling
Phil Plait (website(1)), who works in the physics and astronomy department at Sonoma State, has made it his mission to clear up misconceptions about astronomy. One of his targets, as the main guest on Monday's show, was the work of maverick physicist James McCanney. He's just plain wrong about comets not being made mostly of ice and rock and in his assertion that comets can be as large as planets, Plait said. He cited a probe that measured Halley's Comet and found it to be only 10 miles long back in 1985/6.
He also took aim at the recent Harmonic Concordance, which was considered by many to be a celestially significant event as the Sun, the Moon, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, and Chiron formed into a Star of David pattern over a two-day period. But Plait noted that the pattern doesn't hold up if it's taken into account that these objects are at vastly different distances from the Earth.
For more on his comments on these and other "bad astronomy" topics view the specialpage(2) he created for this program, as well as the article below.

Jupiter's Black Spot
One of the topics(1) Phil Plait tackled was the mysterious dark spot recently seen on Jupiter (pictured near the planet's equator in this photo by Eric Ng).
Plait does not believe the theory that the black spot is the aftermath of a nuclear explosion arising from the crashed Galileo probe, as espoused by Richard Hoagland. He said it would be impossible for the plutonium in the craft to create this kind of fusion and produce a local hot spot of this size.

I'm looking long and hard at the 105 as an all-in-one since it offers absolutely everything I want in one package. One of the big draws is the USB input it offers. Has anyone had a chance to use this and compare to other offerings? Would I be better off just getting something like the 103 and a standalone DAC?
Also curious, does the 105 offer volume control?

Break the Hardware Upgrade Cycle with Win4Lin Windows Virtual Desktop Server
The current version of Win4Lin VDS is 3.0, but 3.5 is in tail-end beta and probably will be released before this article goes to print. Because it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to write an article about a potentially moving target, we use the 3.0 stable version.
Win4Lin Pro and VDS are the same binary, but different licenses unlock different functionality. There are DEB and RPM packages for 32- and 64-bit Linux. The installation prompts for a license code, and that's when the product turns into either Pro or VDS.
There is no upgrade path from Win4Lin Pro to Win4Lin VDS, so if you have Pro installed, you'll have to relicense it with a VDS license by using the ask_license.sh script.
VDS clients are available for Linux, Solaris and Windows, but the source also is available for download, which allows moderately skilled Linux users to compile a client for almost any platform.
We downloaded our packages from the Win4Lin FTP site (ftp.win4lin.com/pub/releases/linux/pro/3.0/index.html). There are server packages available as 32- and 64-bit RPM, 32- and 64-bit DEB and tarball.
We downloaded the 32-bit RPM package for our test platform, a Centrino Duo Core running at 1.83GHz with 1GB of RAM running a beta of Edgy Eft. We ended up moving to SUSE 10.1 after the initial install, because Edgy's "edgy" kernel had issues with the Win4Lin client. Serves us right for trying to use a beta release on our testing platform, and we've been properly chastened. I mention it only because some sharp-eyed readers may be able to detect differing platforms in some of the screenshots.
The win4linpro_6.3.0-07_i386.deb package was only 3.7MB and installed without a hitch. The VDS installation manual advises that the toolchain for supported distros must be installed prior to installing VDS. The reasoning behind this is that all Win4Lin products provide a specialized KQEMU module in order to deliver satisfactory speed performance. As long as you've dutifully installed the toolchain, the building and insertion of said module will be largely transparent to you (Figure 1).
Now it's time to install my single Windows instance. We used Windows XP Home, installed it and allowed it to upgrade itself to service pack 2 before provisioning accounts. To do so, we put our Windows XP CD into the drive and ran the command:
sudo loadwinproCD
If you haven't installed your VDS license yet, you will be prompted to do so at this time. You can choose not to enter a license at this time and use the product for 14 days, but none of the server functionality will be enabled, effectively leaving you with a single-user workstation.
In Figure 1, you will see that we had to use the -r switch to load the guest media. This is because our testing bench already had Win4Lin Pro installed on it previously, and the loadwinproCD command detected this. The -r switch simply tells VDS to reload the guest media.
There are two steps to installing VDS. First, the superuser must copy the guest media to the hard disk, which is what loadwinproCD does. The next step is actually to install Windows, which is done under a normally privileged user account. The process of installing Windows and creating the master profile, from which all other user accounts will derive their Windows environment, are tightly coupled—so much so, in fact, the entire next section is devoted to understanding the process.
Win4Lin VDS uses profile-based provisioning. In a nutshell, this means that a single master profile must be configured. This is the profile all other users will inherit from, and this is also the only profile where patches, upgrades and applications need be installed and other maintenances need be performed. Once a master profile has been configured as desired, individual user profiles are created for each system user.
VDS must be installed under a user account. As with all infrastructure decisions, a few moments spent now can save countless headaches later. I've decided to install my master profile under my main user account jdw. I've further decided that I'm going to provision two other user accounts on my system named jwatson and dwatson. My first step, then, is to create the two jwatson and dwatson accounts. Organizations already running a Linux system quite likely have all of their user accounts set up and may be required to create only an account for the master VDS profile.
To create the master profile, first I log in to my system and run:
sudo adduser jwatson sudo adduser dwatson
After assigning these new user account passwords, they are ready to go. Now it's time to create the master profile. This involves installing Windows, designating that installation as the master and then configuring it as required.
So, I log out and back in as my master profile user jdw, and then run the installwinpro command.
Various options to this command dictate the characteristics of the virtual machine into which Windows will be installed. I accept the defaults, which include a 4GB disk image size. Depending on the amount of applications you intend to install, 4GB may not be enough. There is no need to take user space into account, however, because individual user's documents and settings are stored in the Linux filesystem on a user's respective workstation and not within the image (Figure 2).
The default profile name will be winpro unless you change it with the -d switch. Keep in mind that if you switch the configuration name, you will need that information to export the master profile in the next step.
Take my word for this—back up your image now. Living through one Windows install is painful enough, you don't want to have to do it twice.
Backing up your image is as simple as copying the GUEST.IMG file to another location. If you took the default installation options, you'll find the GUEST.IMG file in /home/jdw/winpro/ (obviously, you'll need to substitute your own user name). If you modified your installation, you'll know where to find it.
Once installation is complete, designate this installation as the master by running the command /opt/win4linpro/bin/export-profile <configuration name>.
If you changed the configuration name while installing the guest session in the previous step, you need to provide that name in place of <configuration name>. If you didn't specify a configuration name, the default winpro was used, and you need not supply it to export the master profile.
Launch the image and customize it. It is critical that you launch and shut down the image at least once in order to create the master profile properly. To launch the master Windows profile, either double-click the Win4Lin icon on your desktop, or run the command winpro from the command line.
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

TRAVERSE CITY — Thom Darga originally estimated renovations of the 78-year-old Con Foster Museum into a movie house would take about seven months start to finish.
Darga, though, with the help of a "thousand volunteers, tradesmen, and workers," got the job done in two for the Traverse City Film Festival, just in time for the festival's kick-off today.
A Grand Traverse County building inspector arrived at the new Bijou by the Bay shortly after 10 a.m. Monday for the facility's make-or-break final inspection. An hour later, Darga -- the general contractor on the project -- had the final approval necessary to gain a just in-time occupancy permit for Monday night's $500-per-person fundraiser, the official unveiling of the renovated theater.
"People wanted it to happen, and people wanted to do it right, and they applied themselves," Darga said, pointing to volunteers washing windows and tradesmen applying the final touches Monday afternoon. "Every time I turned around there were three volunteers, or three plumbers or three carpenters, asking me what needed to be done and, before I could finish explaining, they were on it."
Darga said it was fun making the project happen, but he acknowledged it became a little tense the last two weeks as the Monday deadline approached with the festival opening so close and no occupancy permit in hand.
"A younger man would probably say he would do it again, but I've had enough to last me a lifetime," Darga said.
Film Festival officials expected about 180 people to attend the pre-festival screening of the Sundance jury prize-winning film, "The Spectacular Now," Monday night followed by a reception hosted by part-time area resident and celebrity chef Mario Batali.
The festival officially kicks off today with screenings of the opening night film, Woody Allen's "Blue Jasmine." It continues through Aug. 4 with screenings of more than 150 films, including free outdoor showings at the Open Space and includes free panel and "Cinema Salon" discussions, a Film School, a Kids Fest and live music at Clinch Park.

Local businessman John Teeples will serve as grand marshal of the IRWIN Tools Night Race at Bristol Motor Speedway in Tennessee Saturday night.
Teeples said it is one way that IRWIN Tools is honoring him for being chosen as its Tradesman of the Year.
"It is really overwhelming," Teeples said. "I never thought in my wildest dreams that I would receive something like this. I do not feel that I do anything that special. I just get up and go to work."
Teeples is not a racing fan but is excited about going to the event and leading the command for 300 tradesman to announce "Drivers, start your engines."
"I am going to be experiencing NASCAR to the fullest," Teeples said.
"Day in and day out, we hear stories about the significant contributions of America's tradesmen," Rich Mathews, Senior Vice President of Marketing at IRWIN Tools, said in a news release. "We wanted to honor someone this weekend that could represent the millions of men and women that make up this country's real working hands -- a tradesman who exemplifies how hard work and dedication to his trade play a vital role in his community. John does exactly that."
As owner of John Teeples Construction in Harris County, Teeples has built houses, schools, stores, offices, arenas, parks, churches and more, and has been a driving force in the restoration work that is revitalizing uptown Columbus.
The company said Teeples also combines his building talents with his love of long-distance running to lead fundraising efforts and home-improvement and construction projects that help the nation's veterans.
In 2009, Teeples began Run for the Heroes, an annual 260-mile ultramarathon across Georgia in which he participates, that has raised $400,000 for House of Heroes, a nonprofit that makes minor repairs on the homes of veterans and their spouses at no cost to the family.
Currently, alongside the Gary Sinise Foundation and the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, Teeples is serving as general contractor to build a custom Smart Home for Sgt. 1st Class Michael Schlitz, who was severely injured in an IED explosion during a tour of duty in Iraq. "It is a project I am glad to be a part of," Teeples said.
"Tradesmen like John make my life work," Schlitz said in the release.
Teeples also owns Big Dog Running Company, which has stores in Columbus and Auburn, Ala., that sponsors several charity runs, and Iron Bank Coffee Company in downtown Columbus.
"Everything I have is an effort to make people's lives better," Teeples said.
He found out about his IRWIN honor about a month ago and film crews have already been here working on a special presentation featuring him.
Teeples, who said he loves to work with his hands, hopes to encourage young people to become carpenters, plumbers or electricians.
"Not many young people see it as a viable career. It is really hard work, but it is work that is needed," he said. "Tradesmen make lives better by improving the places where we live. The work is rewarding."
The release said IRWIN hopes that by honoring Teeples at the race it will encourage Americans to salute and honor all of our nation's trade professionals. Teeples will also be honored on National Tradesman Day, which is Sept. 20.

The Register-Herald
New River Community and Technical College as well as its nearly 300 graduates proved Samuel Johnson's assertion that "Great works are performed not by strength, but by perseverance" during the college's 10th commencement exercises Saturday at the Chuck Mathena Center in Princeton.
College president Dr. L. Marshall Washington asked the graduating students to stand if they began their coursework within two years of graduating from high school.
Unlike at other colleges, few stood.
Most students stood and indicated they began their coursework between five and 20 years after graduating from high school and one member of the 2013 graduation class finished despite a 50-year gap.
Most of the 300 who graduated Saturday are parents, and several are grandparents. At Washington's request, more than half indicated they were the first in their immediate family to attend college and received financial aid, grants or other types of assistance through the school.
"Each year a commencement ceremony allows the college community to reflect on all the reasons why we love our school and to understand the impact we have on the community," he said.
"We reaffirm our dedication to improving the lives and destinies of those we serve in a nine-county region — Fayette, Greenbrier, Mercer, Monroe, Pocahontas, Nicholas, Raleigh, Summers, Webster.
"I have seen the power of transformation that so many of you display on a daily basis, and it inspires me. We graduated 233 during the 2011-12 year and serve an area the size of Connecticut and Rhode Island combined, much of it rural, inaccessible, and scarcely populated," explained the president. "We are challenged to develop programs that are accessible to students in remote areas. We are finding ways to reach students who would otherwise not go to college."
Washington said that while the commencement ceremony is meant to highlight the graduates' achievements, he understands that many of them could not have pursued their degrees without the help of friends and family.
With thunderous applause and cheers, the graduates stood and recognized their family and friends.
Dr. David Perkins, who served as the first president of New River after the college was created by the Legislature in 2003, delivered Saturday's commencement address.
He told those graduating that it is "always better to work at something than not to work at all." With an increasingly difficult job market, he told them to work at something, regardless of what it is, while waiting to attain their dream job.
He then told them to never stop learning: "Continuing your education is critical for the success of your career and life."
And lastly, he told them they must possess "unrelenting perseverance" to reach their goals, and perseverance only comes with "the kind of self-discipline that causes us to do what needs to be done when it needs to be done."
Perkins was presented with a framed picture of New River's five campuses for his work in establishing the West Virginia Community and Technical College System.
While the graduates are prepared to go into the workforce or continue to a four-year institution, Saturday's ceremony marks the end of New River Community and Technical College's infancy.
Leslie Baker, chair of the college's Board of Governors, said New River will "begin its second decade with as much excitement as we began its first."

The CARE initiative will use a variety of strategies to help high school students avoid having to take developmental study classes while in college and in turn, help raise the students achievement level.
Lone Star College will create courses to help first year college students accelerate their completion of developmental coursework to reach college level classes faster.

The Register-Herald
There was a day, not long ago, when there wasn't an event much more wholesome than a youth baseball, football or soccer game.
And there was nothing like a high school football or basketball contest to stir up nostalgia and community pride.
But unfortunately, those days may be quickly passing us by.
Reports of parents behaving badly at these events have become rampant.
We wish that "unsportsmanlike" would be the worst adjective to describe their antics.
Despicable comes to mind, instead.
The so-called "adults" shouting, cursing, threatening and generally behaving like "terrible twos" are setting a horrible example for our youth.
And putting a tremendous amount of pressure on the kids to perform in many cases as well.
Are the adults living vicariously through their children, for athletic promise that was never realized back in their would-have-been glory days? It would be difficult to pin down the root of their insanity.
But it's way out of control.
The blame could also be placed on the extreme emphasis placed on sports in our country.
Multimillion-dollar professional athletes are the norm, not the exception in our society now.
You don't have to be a household name to cash a large paycheck for playing a kids' game anymore.
It's trickled down to the collegiate, high school, middle school and youth ranks too.
With many parents thinking their kid is the next big thing, the mostly misguided misconceptions and misjudging of athletic prowess are causing headaches among the crowds in aluminum bleachers all over the nation — including our region.
Even if a kid is the next superstar, that's still no reason for a parent to act like the southside of a northbound donkey.
When law enforcement needs to be called out to control outraged adults at youth athletic events, that's ridiculous.
What a shame it would be if it came down to this: no more youth athletic events, because of the potential dangers to the general public and the costs associated with providing adequate security.
We hope it doesn't come down to that.
That would rob many children of opportunities needlessly.
But it's going to require some adults to grow up and behave in a mature manner.
That would be a victory everyone could enjoy.

Art Van Riper bought the stamps in Waverly, N.Y., after reading that the Postal Service had printed a new batch of inverted Jenny stamps celebrating the 95-year-old edition that, by mistake, featured an upside-down biplane.
He also read that, as a way to draw more people into stamp collecting, the Postal Service randomly distributed 100 sheets featuring the plane right-side up among the 2.2 million sheets replicating the original and distributed nationwide.
"I needed some stamps and thought 'what the heck,'" Van Riper said by phone earlier this month from his Sayre, Pa., home, on the New York border. "I just had a feeling that maybe there would be one in Waverly."
He intended to purchase five sheets of the $2 stamps, at $12 a sheet, and use them to mail Christmas presents and for stocking stuffers. Postal clerk Betty Gable persuaded him to take more.
"I told him our office had 45 and he might as well buy them all," she said. The last one would probably be the one with the right-side up airplane, she told him.
"I'll be a son-of-a-gun it was," said Van Riper, who has a jewelry store and said he collects oddities ranging from baseball cards to old steins.
Van Riper's was the fourth of the 100 sheets to turn up since the post office launched the campaign in September, USPS spokesman Mark Saunders said. One of the four is listed at $25,000 online, Van Riper said, but he doesn't have plans to sell his sheet.
Among stamp collectors, the inverted Jenny, produced by a printing error, is gold. Only one sheet of 100 stamps commemorating the nation's first airmail flight was sold. One of the stamps recently sold for $977,000, according to the Postal Service.

COLUMBUS — Hostess Brands, LLC has announced plans to re-launch its bakery in Columbus and plans to add about 300 jobs in the area over the next several years.
The Georgia Department of Economic Development Tuesday announced the company plans to resume operations this summer and will produce a full assortment of iconic Hostess snack products — including Twinkies.
Officials say investment in the Columbus baking facility is being backed by affiliates of Apollo Global Management, LLC and Metropoulos & Co., which bought some Hostess assets out of bankruptcy this month.
Hostess Brands will begin recruiting for production, sanitation, distribution, maintenance engineering and management positions online and at a job fair April 27. Officials say the company plans to invest more than $20 million into the facility and community.

Applicants who have foreign high school, college, or university coursework, but who do not require an F1 student visa, must submit official transcript evaluations from an approved evaluation agency. Armstrong works primarily with Josef Silny & Associates or WES, but any of the companies listed at the NACES website are accepted.
For high school transcripts, students must submit a document-by-document evaluation with a GPA (grade point average) calculation.
For college and university transcripts, students must submit a course-by-course evaluation.
Students who do not require an F1 visa should complete the regular admissions application.

Star Beacon
CONNEAUT — Eloise "Babe" A. Jones, age 83, of Conneaut, Ohio, passed away early Tuesday morning, April 30, 2013, at the Ardis Rhinehart Kremer Home in Conneaut.
Born July 1, 1929, in Erie, Pa., she was the daughter of Clarence and Eloise (Cox) Loomis.
She graduated from Strong Vincent High School in Erie in 1947 and was a "Domestic Engineer" all her life.
She was a member of the First Baptist Church in Conneaut; a 40 year member of the Moose Lodge, in which she held all chairs with the Women of the Moose; and also an original member for over 60 years of the "Chat and Chew Club".
"Babe" and her husband, whom she married July 30, 1948, in Ripley, N.Y., enjoyed wintering in Port Richey, Fla., where they served 16 years on their community church committee. She loved to go to casinos, on bus trips, and loved the Cleveland Indians.
Her biggest enjoyment was spending time with her family, family reunions, and family lunches, especially with the "Cousin Lunch Bunch" which included her cousins, Bill Cox and his fiancée, Beverly Saunders, Judy and George Dierich, Jean Spangler, and Bob and Paulette Cox.
Survivors include her son, Robert J. (Terri) Jones of Conneaut; her daughter-in-law, Karen Jones of Fort Mill, S.C.; her sister, Anita Krsak of Mentor; her brothers, Herbert (Betty) Loomis of Pittsburgh, Pa., Charles (Joanne) Beaver of Conneaut and Richard (Mary) Beaver of Monroe Township; her grandchildren, Abbie, Kelly and Mitchell; her great-grandson, Alex Colby; dozens of nieces, nephews and cousins; her cousin and caregiver, Bill Cox; and her special friend, Kim Watson.
She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Robert W. Jones in 2006, to whom she was married for 58 years; her son, Dennis R. Jones in 2005; her sisters, Ann Mozart, Mary Jo Taylor and Rosemarie Cosner; and her brother James Beaver.
Funeral Service will be 11 a.m., Friday, May 3rd, at the MARCY FUNERAL HOME AND CREMATION CENTER, 208 Liberty St., Conneaut, with Interim Pastor Brian Ewig, of the First Baptist Church, officiating. Burial will follow in Greenlawn Memory Gardens, North Kingsville, Ohio.
Friends may call at the Funeral Home TODAY, Thursday, May 2nd, from 5 to 8 p.m.
Contributions may be made to Hospice of the Western Reserve or to the Ardis Rhinehart Kremer Home. Envelopes will be available at the Funeral Home.

Company Helps Student Achieve Mission of Nourishing New Haven's Neediest
Mill Rock Farm's Expected Vegetable Yield ¼ to ½ Ton
The typical teenager spends summer vacation in hedonistic pursuit. Not this teenager. Sixteen year-old Malcolm Drenttel, a sophomore at Hopkin's School, will spend his summer altruistically, growing organic vegetables on a sloping half-acre Whitneyville lot, Mill Rock Farm, for donation to New Haven soup kitchens, to help those less fortunate eat more healthfully.
Malcolm, a frequent volunteer at IRIS, a New Haven organization assisting refugees from conflict ridden countries, learned that vegetables used at most soup kitchens are largely aged and expired supermarket donations that rapidly become nutritionally depleted, diminishing their health benefits. He launched a plan to grow fresh vegetables for soup kitchens, secured a donated lot, and rose funds to buy seeds and supplies. Organic soil, a big cost item, was needed to start the project.
After learning of Malcolm's mission, Grillo Services, a community-minded Milford based organic recycling landscape supply company, agreed to donate 22 cubic yards of organic soil. Mill Rock Farm is now being planted, by Malcolm, and Hopkins classmates who were recruited to earn community service hours. The produce yield is expected to range from ¼ to ½ ton of vegetables. The vegetables are destined for organizations including the Community Soup Kitchen, the Downtown Evening Soup Kitchen, and IRIS.

TRAVERSE CITY -- Grand Traverse County Health Department officials issued a health advisory for property owners affected by Boardman River flooding.
Saturday's flood beneath Brown Bridge Dam resulted from failures apparently connected to a "dewatering station" that was supposed to gradually release water from Brown Bridge Pond, a project that was supposed to take more than two weeks to complete. Instead, the pond completely emptied over a 4- to 5-hour period during Saturday's breach.
County health officials stated the following in their advisory:
"Water from wells which were flooded is unsafe and should not be used for drinking or cooking, brushing teeth, dishwashing or clothes washing unless boiled for 10 minutes. If possible, obtain water from a municipal source or purchase bottled water. Before normal resumption of your water well, the well needs to be properly chlorinated and the water tested by a qualified laboratory."

TRAVERSE CITY — Two years ago, Jonathan Ericsson was the Detroit Red Wings second youngest defensemen.
Now, the 29-year-old is the second oldest.
It illustrates how the Wings have rebuilt their defense — mostly with young prospects they had previously drafted.
"It's been a major overhaul in terms of age," Wings GM Ken Holland said Thursday at the team's Development Camp at Centre ICE.
The transformation was kicked into overdrive last season when Nicklas Lidstrom retired; Brad Stuart opted to return to the West Coast, where his family was living; and marquee free agent Ryan Sutter turned down the Wings to sign with Minnesota.
The two veteran free agents the Wings brought in, Ian White and Carlo Colaiacovo, played sparingly down the stretch.
Instead, the Wings defense, anchored by Nik Kronwall and Ericsson, relied on fresh faces that included Kyle Quincey (27), Jakub Kindl (26), Brendan Smith (24), Danny DeKeyser (23) and Brian Lashoff (22).
"I look at last year and we finished fifth in the league in goals against," Holland said. "Down the stretch, when we had to make the playoffs in our last 11 games, we allowed 14 goals in regulation. Our young defensemen we're learning on the fly. At times, there were some growing pains. Maybe they made decisions that led to goals against, but there is no other way to go about building a team."

Last week we named the legendary Tom Weinkauf the NewsChannel 7 Coach of the Year on the girls side.
Today, we announced the boys Coach of the Year. Someone that's had to fill the shoes of a legend.
In his third season since taking over for hall of famer Tim Anderson, Chad Weinfurter led the Apaches to a share of the Marawood South championship that included a victory over eventual D4 state champion Marathon.
The team was ranked in the top ten all year. Overall they finished with a 20-3 record. And players say it couldn't be done without the guy on the bench.
