I remember a tweak that blurred whatever was in the background when you opened Notification center. It's called "Blurried NC Background". Does said tweak cause lag? or would you recommend getting this tweak instead.
I only ask since I don't have a jailbroken iDevice to test on yet.
Doesn't work iOS 5.0.1
Hey guys, if you're having trouble with getting Custom NC Background to work and you have ********** on your device please wait for tomorrow's update. It fixes that issue. (Please don't pirate apps, though)
If you don't have and never had ********** just turning Custom NC Background off and then on should make it work.
Feel free to email me from Cydia if you continue to have trouble with this tweak (or any other tweak of mine :P)
Edit: Oops, it seems that ModMyi censors this app name, well, for a good reason. In any case: if you have the app used to pirate App Store apps then that's the conflicting app that ModMyi censors its name.
About the orientation issue, I fixed it in the update coming up tomorrow.
Did not work on iOS 5.0.1 with no piracy apps at all. Sad day this is something id def use. Update please!!!
Update is coming out in Cydia right now. It works fine, but there are prerequisites (warez won't work with it). If you don't use warez, then follow the below steps to make it work properly:
To fix the issue open iFile and go to /var/mobile, then tap the blue arrow next to documents.
Next, where it says Access Permissions, Change both GROUP and WORLD to "Read, Write, Execute."
Now, go into the Custom NC Background settings, disable it, and enable it again. It will work.
Custom NC backgrounds doesn't work with warez. Sorry.

SALTILLO – A late night fire destroyed a Saltillo house Tuesday night.
Saltillo Fire Chief Mark Nowell said his department responded to the 105 Briarcliff Drive blaze at 11:30 p.m.
"When we arrived on the scene, there was a large amount of fire in the garage area and attic space," Nowel said. "It was a very large fire with flames visible from a distance."
The homeowner was the only person home at the time of the fire and Nowell said they treated her for smoke inhalation on the scene. She sustained no other serious injuries.
"The house is still standing," Nowell said. "They will be able to retrieve some personal items but the damage is extensive.
Nowell said the homeowner was asleep on the opposite end of the house from the fire. The smoke detectors activated and then the homeowner's dog woke her.
The fire was out by 12:36 a.m. and firemen hecked for hot spots until 3 a.m.

By Kevin Tate/Outdoors Writer
The wind that whistled in through the seams of the windows as we rocked along the gravel roads wasn't as cold and uncomfortable as it had been all the days before. Instead of boring, gray-skied drudge or something we mistook for misery, it carried excitement.
No one slept. No one griped. No one pulled bits of duct tape loose from the seat rip patches and wadded it into anyone else's hair. It was a happy ride because no demands hung over us that last afternoon before Christmas break.
Each year, once Halloween was over, even with Thanksgiving still to go, my fellow grade school inmates and I set our sights on Christmas, specifically on the last day prior to our holiday parole. Upon completing it, when the bus door finally folded open at our stop that afternoon and sprang us one by one upon the unsuspecting public, we took with us a joy rarely felt since.
There were presents to be asked for and anticipated, sweet days of freedom roaming the yards with BB guns, trips to the creek bottoms and game areas with fathers and uncles armed with rifles or shotguns. In those days, too, the Old Men in charge of our maintenance and behavior generally had constructive activities lined up to keep us out of trouble and out from under foot. There were often trap lines to run or pecans to gather and sell. Water from late fall rains might be backed up behind previously-undiscovered beaver dams, or rabbit populations might be approaching epic plague proportions, both matters requiring our immediate efforts and attention. Rumors of mallards on the move would find us checking the deep bends of the creek as it wound silently, slowly through empty fields laid fallow for winter.
These were the days when we discovered the wonders to be found in a pocket full of shells and access to a place to use them. Never mind Steve McQueen fleeing on a motorcycle, we already knew the outdoors to be the greatest escape of all.
There were no academic requirements pending for the foreseeable future, a period of time in those days not longer than a week. With weeks, plural, of Christmas break lying ahead, the world was wide open, anything seemed possible and probably was. As with most things, my mind has kept the best parts and discarded the rest, forgetting the days and hours but holding fast to the moments. Today the sharp bite of the wind beneath a gunmetal sky or the cold, wet feel of lichens dotting a fallen pecan branch remind me how good coming inside to a fire glowing hot in a Buck stove felt.
At some point Christmas comes to mean not as much looking forward as looking back. Here's hoping yours holds lots of great memories in both directions this year.
Kevin Tate is V.P. of Media Productions for Mossy Oak in West Point.

The partner of the Guardian journalist who has written a series of stories revealing mass surveillance programmes by the US National Security Agency was held for almost nine hours on Sunday by UK authorities as he passed through London's Heathrow airport on his way home to Rio de Janeiro.
David Miranda, who lives with Glenn Greenwald, was returning from a trip to Berlin when he was stopped by officers at 8.05am and informed that he was to be questioned under schedule 7 of the Terrorism Act 2000. The controversial law, which applies only at airports, ports and border areas, allows officers to stop, search, question and detain individuals.
The 28-year-old was held for nine hours, the maximum the law allows before officers must release or formally arrest the individual. According to official figures, most examinations under schedule 7 – over 97% – last less than an hour, and only one in 2,000 people detained are kept for more than six hours.
Miranda was released, but officials confiscated electronics equipment including his mobile phone, laptop, camera, memory sticks, DVDs and games consoles.
"This is a profound attack on press freedoms and the news gathering process," Greenwald said. "To detain my partner for a full nine hours while denying him a lawyer, and then seize large amounts of his possessions, is clearly intended to send a message of intimidation to those of us who have been reporting on the NSA and GCHQ. The actions of the UK pose a serious threat to journalists everywhere.
"But the last thing it will do is intimidate or deter us in any way from doing our job as journalists. Quite the contrary: it will only embolden us more to continue to report aggressively."
Widney Brown, Amnesty International's senior director of international law and policy, said: "It is utterly improbable that David Michael Miranda, a Brazilian national transiting through London, was detained at random, given the role his partner has played in revealing the truth about the unlawful nature of NSA surveillance.
"David's detention was unlawful and inexcusable. He was detained under a law that violates any principle of fairness and his detention shows how the law can be abused for petty, vindictive reasons.
"There is simply no basis for believing that David Michael Miranda presents any threat whatsoever to the UK government. The only possible intent behind this detention was to harass him and his partner, Guardian journalist Glenn Greenwald, for his role in analysing the data released by Edward Snowden."
No words from Toddy?
quote:and that company employs a tenacious mother fricker who would love nothing more than to watch you burn. #greenwald
Some government bureaucrats forgot about the rule to never piss off anyone who works for a company which buys ink by the barrel and paper by the ton.
I really like Glenn Greenwald. He is absolutely fearless as a journalist and knows his shite when he's on all of the various shows talking about privacy and the NSA. He flat out owned Gregory, Toobin and multiple others. His article decrying courtiers to power was scathing and accurate.
They kicked the wrong hornets nest IMO
Did they read him his Miranda rights?
I don't understand the upside to detaining this guy?
Message Posted by PrimeTime Money Did they read him his Miranda rights?
Was this a "gay" story or a "journalist" story?
Mr. Miranda was in Berlin to deliver documents related to Mr. Greenwald's investigation into government surveillance to Ms. Poitras, Mr. Greenwald said. Ms. Poitras, in turn, gave Mr. Miranda different documents to pass to Mr. Greenwald. Those documents, which were stored on encrypted thumb drives, were confiscated by airport security, Mr. Greenwald said. All of the documents came from the trove of materials provided to the two journalists by Mr. Snowden. The British authorities seized all of his electronic media — including video games, DVDs and data storage devices — and did not return them, Mr. Greenwald said.
So Greenwald is using his partner as a mule now. Nice.

You are here
You may never know quite what to expect from the Krewe of Charleston, but you can rest assured it will never be boring. While the standard black-tie, mini-crab cakes and cocktails, silent auction, and dinner combination rarely fails to make both a successful fundraiser and enjoyable evening out, the Krewe of Charleston wowed their partygoers with grown men galloping about the Gaillard on paper-mache ponies, a glitter explosion, and the enormous heads of both Shrek and Mayor Joe Riley.
Lest we get ahead of ourselves, though, the evening did kick off with a cocktail hour filled with partygoers dressed to impress. Though many guests stepped out in more traditional floor length gowns and tuxes, the majority of the crowd enthusiastically embraced the Mardi Gras theme. The room was filled with sequins, glittering fabrics, feather boas, and many a mask from the get-go, and colonial gowns, top hats, and enormous feather headdresses crowded into the room as the cocktail hour wore on. The bigger the feathers, the more impressive the entrance, one couldn't help surmising as several guests tottered under the doorway. Nearly everyone was overshadowed, however, by a chihuahua rocking an enormous plumed headdress and trailing bedazzled cape. "Her name is Bella of the Ball," her handler explained. "She does parties!"
The scent of shrimp etouffee and jambalaya had people lining up at the food stations, while the extensive spread of dessert bites had many guests snagging seconds. People chatted and rubbed elbows of cocktails until the lights went up on the stage, and the evening's festivities got underway. Everyone retired to their table as the first members of the extravagantly costumed court were paraded across the stage.
John Marshall McAvoy and Jenny Sullivan Sanford made their final round as last year's King and Queen, and they were seated as this year's court gathered around them, swathed in a sea of rhinestones, feathers, lace, sequins, and velvet. A parade of men swarmed the Gaillard atop paper-mache horses, accompanied by individuals staggering under the massive masks of Mayor Joe Riley, Shrek, and what appeared to be an escaped member of the Nutcracker. The crowd applauded loudly, and a glittering carriage bearing this year's queen, Mrs. Susan Marlowe, brought up the rear. The queen joined Captain Brian Brennan on stage, where the two were officially crowned.
An explosion of glitter cascaded from the ceiling, and the Krewe of Charleston Royal Bal Masque officially had their 2012 court.
The Royal Bal Masque benefited the MUSC Children's Hospital Fund. The Krewe of Charleston was established in 2009, and as the only Mardi Gras Krewe on the U.S. Atlantic Coast, they aim to transform Charleston into the next major destination for Mardi Gras in the U.S.A.

Responding to new technologies
Programme Aim 4
"New technologies are developed only when people of power and wealth back their development."
Schumacher (1979:44)
New Technologies
We are specifically working on ICTs, nanotechnologies, and biotechnologies whilst recognising that all new technologies share some generic qualities. Read more »
Media Highlights
Practical Action's work on new technologies has been reported by several prominent news agencies, including: BBC Technology News and SciDev.Net. Read more »
New Technology Briefings
Briefing papers are available on a range of new technology topics, including: open source software, solar power, and nanotechnology. Read more »
New Technology Challenging Poverty
Leaflet about the programme, including a case study of podcasting in Zimbabwe. Read more »
We live in a rapidly changing world. Technological advances are increasing productivity and income, quality of life, and life expectancy ... in the developed world that is. The truth is that technological development is focussed on meeting the wants of rich consumers. Scant attention is paid to the vital needs of people in the developing world. The arrival of new technologies often results in a wider gap between rich and the poor. Yet some innovations fail to be applied in developing countries where there is real need.
The vision of the new technologies programme is "a world where science-led new technologies deliver products which fulfil human needs rather than consumer wants."
Our Responding to New Technologies programme aims to enable poor people to assess and respond to the challenges of new technologies, and to develop and adopt applications that improve their livelihoods. Through our programme work, we:
- Enable poor people to assess the opportunities and threats presented by new technologies
- Identify and test potential opportunities for poverty reduction presented by new technologies
- Ensure that policies, regulations and institutions are favourable to poor people and can be influenced by poor people themselves

For a while now, my PKI in Aerospace
Consulting company has been working on finding ways to
make PKI more usable. From the "Relying Party" side of the
equation, I think we're getting fairly close. Between some
of the advances that others have made (such as Microsoft
CAPI now doing Path Discovery and Validation mostly
correctly), and our own work on writing an open source Path
Discovery and Validation Daemon that can be used by
programs like Apache and
Radius, I think there is very little reason why
someone could not actually build a site and fully use
certificates for authentication (especially with the certificate
information patches that we've just published for
Now, the problems we're seeing are on the pure client side, such as in browsers, mail clients, VPN clients, or wireless clients in the open source world. The nice thing about the proprietary world of Microsoft and Apple is that they, for the most part, all use their platform certificate store (CAPI on Microsoft, and the KeyChain on Apple). In the open source world, certificates, keys and trust anchors can be just about anyplace. And, most annoyingly, even applications built by the same projects don't even use the same certificate stores (I'm looking at you, Firefox and Thunderbird, and you too KMail and Konqueror). So, consider this a call for someone (maybe the LSB folks) to come up with a full standard that everyone can adopt for both trust anchors and user keys/certificates, and then please, please, everyone use that1.
[1] - Yes, I know WHY Firefox and Thunderbird have their own store: so that they don't have to implement per-platform solutions, thereby easing their FIPS validation. At the very least, they COULD implement a common certificate store used by both (and any other LibNSS-using application). At least then I wouldn't have to install all of my certificates twice. If the Mozilla folks wanted to really endear themselves to the community, they would also, once a single store is in place, at least give an install-time option for those that need it to use the system certificate stores, instead of the LibNSS specific store.

Learners will then be asked to make some conclusions about these methods and suggest improvements for the spreadsheet model (see related resources for link to this model). The activity requires use of Microsoft Excel software. This is Activity D in the fourth module, titled "How do Atmospheres Affect Planetary Temperatures?," of "Earth Climate Course: What Determines a Planet's Climate?." (View Less)

It really looses something when you can't see the show every week. I have a friend of mine who rented the 1st season DVD's and watched all 24 eps in like 4 days! I can understand it, as every show is a cliffhanger, it would be hard to stop. I kinda wish I would have done the same with season 2. I think season 2 is better than season 1, but some of it's greatness is lost each time it takes a 3 or 4 week hiatus. We have 6 or 7 episodes left, so I'm sure there will be another break. Now when's Smallville come back on... Hummm... April :?

Alternate name: Twinsisters
Family: Caprifoliaceae, Honeysuckle view all from this family
Description Lonicera tatarica is native to Siberia and eastern Asia. Introduced to North America as an ornamental plant in 1752, it is now considered a noxious weed, one of several such exotic bush honeysuckles naturalized across the continent. It is present across the continent west to Alaska and California, where it easily grows in disturbed habitat. It is a bushy shrub which may approach three meters in erect height. It is lined with oval or rounded leaves 3 to 6 centimeters long. The inflorescence is generally a pair of white to pink to crimson red flowers each about 1.5 centimeters long. The flowers are somewhat tubular, their stamens and styles protruding. The fruit is a shiny orange or red berry up to a centimeter wide. The plant forms thickets and spreads easily when birds and other animals consume the fruits.
Warning Berries may be mildly poisonous if eaten. Sensitivity to a toxin varies with a persons age, weight, physical condition, and individual susceptibility. Children are most vulnerable because of their curiosity and small size. Toxicity can vary in a plant according to season, the plants different parts, and its stage of growth; and plants can absorb toxic substances, such as herbicides, pesticides, and pollutants from the water, air, and soil.
Habitat Cities, suburbs & towns, Scrub, shrub & brushlands, Fields.
Range Rocky Mountains, Eastern Canada, Great Lakes, Alaska, Northwest, Southeast, Plains, Mid-Atlantic, Southwest, California, New England.

Ow. continuing pain from my auto accident two weeks ago.
Asciidoc has been a real win lately, as we've been converting our documentation into it. Its real easy to edit asciidoc as a 'text only' person, and publish it to the web via Asciidoc Webpage Builder. It almost feels like i'm participating in the 'web based community', instead of merely hiding in the shadows of IRC. ;)
I'm working on commentary 4 in the 126.96.36.199 tree. after that, i'll go back to 53 in the 2.6.17 tree, then work on commentarying the most-in-need-of-repair patch in the 220.127.116.11 tree. I've actually got someone trying to submit patches, but would lie what they're patching to be commentaried first, so i can review patches appropriately.
Progress, wheee!

Results 1 to 8 of 8
Bolivian Ram or Cockatoo Dwarf in 27 Gallon?
My planned species list is as follows:
6 Black Skirt Tetras
5 Mountain Cloud Minnows (possibly replaced with 6 Cherry Barbs)
1 Pearl Gourami/Paradise Fish/Betta (depending how tetras react)
2 African Dwarf Frogs
1-3 Filter Shrimp
Now I was thinking of having either a Cockatoo Dwarf Cichlid or a Bolivian Ram. I really like the Cockatoo's but ive heard they require VERY clean water and VERY stable temperature and im worried im going to end up messing this up and killing it, ive heard Bolivian Rams are hardier, but really I dont know much about either or if they will mix with my other species or not? (I only have the minnows and 4 black skirts atm btw).
So basically would either of these Cichlids work in my tank, which would be the better one to go for and could I get just a single male or do I have to get a male and female?

the above stocking is all over the place. IDK what you mean by filter shrimp... Ghost? Amano? RCS?... The dwarf frogs I wouldnt include and White Clouds are cold water fish while your SA Dwarf cichlids are tropicals. A Betta or paradise fish with these will either be a nipper or be nipped by other fish so the gourami is the only one that is semi adequite and even that im not a huge fan of with the stock listing. They vary widely on personality from fish to fish and can be pugnatious.
If you want to stock Cockatoo's, you need to make sure everything else meets their temp/tank requirements and agression level.
I agree with sandz.

"Keeping fish for any period of time doesn't make you experienced if you're doing it wrong. What does, is acknowledging those mistakes and learning from them." ~Aeonflame
"your argument is invalid." ~Mommy1
minus your stocking that was pointed out...
the tank is not big enough for you to have a labrynth fish AND a ram/cockatoo.
the paradise fish, gourami will feel it doesn't have enough room and attack the ram.
this happened in my 45gallon....so i cannot imagine how bad it will be in a tank that is smaller
Can't give any advice on the shrimp, frogs, or Cockatoo's as I have never kept them.
Pearl Gourami's need a bigger tank than a 27g, and are no good in with Dwarf Cichlids. There will be a massive amount of territorial aggression going on.
Black Skirts are a nice Tetra, but really need to be put in a school of no less than 10, otherwise they can possibly get a little nippy to fish that are less active than they are (Betta's), or bigger than they are. I've kept Black Skirts in the same tank as Bolivian Rams, and they all behaved nicely. The two species of fish stick to two different levels of the tank. The Black Skirts hang around in the top third - middle third of the tank, while the Rams will live most of their lives in the bottom third of the tank, so they really don't cross paths much.
DO NOT PUT A PARADISE FISH IN A COMMUNITY TANK. Nasty pieces of work. I made that mistake when I first started.Three-fourths of the Earth's surface is water, and one-fourth is land. It is quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the lawn. ~Chuck Clark
0Originally Posted by Sandz
According to AqAdvisor all these species are suitable to be kept at 25'c so I dont see any problem there, my minnows are currently doing very well.
I was told that as Bettas stay near the top of the tank and Cockatoos stay at the bottom I should be ok? But I totally understand this not working out due to the Cockatoos striking colours and the Bettas nature to go after colorful fish.
In any case ive decided to up the Black Skirts to 7/8 and see how it goes, if they seem to be shoaling properly I will add a Betta and hopefully they will all get on. I think I will not get a cockatoo as they seem to require very specific water parameters which might end up proving to much for this amateur to deal with. Maybe when I have more experience
What is up with AqAdvisor? That really doesn't sound right at all...
At any rate, those minnows spawn at temperatures lower than those most tropical fish are kept in. They are healthier and more active at lower temperatures too.
I hear you that the fish "look" ok at 78... Many fish are addaptable. Thats why the ADF kept in the same bowl on someones office desk lives for a while. Im just telling you that if you are a fish keeper novice or a 70 year vet, the wild requirements for a breed are generally what you would want to try to replicate. There is a reason White Clouds are a mountain minnow, not Amazonian fish. I wish you luck on the betta but I still think its ill advised.
Reffering to the filter shrimp, I think you are reffering to the Bamboo Shrimp.
Also, Betta's breath air through a labrynth organ but that doesnt mean they are top only. Just do a simple search on betta's sleeping... They are an all over the tank type fish.

Hey, still alive. I'm reclaiming my account, after help from gato.
Hey, still alive. I'm reclaiming my account, after help from gato.
I'm not doing much Free Software coding these days. I'm getting my fill of programming at work, which is good.
My GO learnin' is coming along well. I'm playing about six hours per week.
My Canon AE-1 broke. I've got to troll pawn shops looking for another. Or I could use my fancy-schmancy camera all of the time. I'm a little afraid of breaking it, if truth be told.
chaoticset: You used the word "palindrome", but I wonder if you meant "anagram". If I understand you, you want to see if two words contain all similar letters, right? As you're making your list, you should sort all the letters first. Then it's just a matter of string comparison to see if two words are anagrams of each other.
I have to admit, I don't see anything wrong with "10 items or less". Maybe I'm growing stupid. (Guessing: "ten"? "fewer"?)
dwmw2's frustration with misuse of language mirrors my own. Among apostrophe abuses, my favorite is faking an acute accent that should be over the preceeding letter. This is especially common here in the southern US. "cafe'" Some people even name their children using it. Ha!
Currently, my biggest language irritation is the recent surge in use of "I" outside of the subject of sentences. I think it bugs me because it's not a normal ignorance-of-the-language problem; one has to go out of one's way to use "I" incorrectly.
[I first posted "Currently, by bigest language irritation". :\ I blame my new split keyboard. :) Though, it has proven to me that I type incorrectly, especially in hitting 'y' with my left forefinger, which is no longer possible.]
Dear Mister Language Person: What is the purpose of the apostrophe? Answer: The apostrophe is used mainly in hand-lettered small business signs to alert the reader than an "S" is coming up at the end of a word, as in: WE DO NOT EXCEPT PERSONAL CHECK'S, or: NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY ITEM'S. Another important grammar concept to bear in mind when creating hand- lettered small-business signs is that you should put quotation marks around random words for decoration, as in "TRY" OUR HOT DOG'S, or even TRY "OUR" HOT DOG'S.
Dave Barry, "Tips for Writer's"
I've taken to using a personal web-log, so I don't post here as often as I should. I still read the recentlog daily. What's new?
I'm working regularly these days, which is nice.
My patch to Metacity for a better window-handling mechanism turned out to be harder than I thought it would be, so it's requeued into my "stuff to do" list.
Reading of bgeiger's enthusiasm for Go has gotten me interested. I play a simpler off-shoot game called "Pente" that I learned at school in third grade. I teach the simple rules to every poor soul who comes to my apartment and play them until they get pretty good. Last fall I even bought a roll-up vinyl Go "board" for carrying around, as the boards are the same dimensions. However, if I'm going to play Go, I'll need to purchase some pieces; Pente games are relatively short, and therefore one needs far fewer pieces, so I'm a couple hundred pieces short.
I'm relearning to use some tools that I have forgotten about over the last ten years or so. E.g., I had forgotten how cool gnuplot is until I needed to make an illustration recently. The graph I created is pretty simple, but I didn't use 99% of gnuplot's options. If you've never played with it, I urge you to spend 15 minutes to learn a little about it. You may find yourself looking for excuses to make graphs.
Well, if getting oral sex while President and lying about it isn't an impeachable offense, then I ask you, what is?!
I'm going to tackle a metacity bug and one wishlist feature this weekend. The bug is hard to reproduce, and the "feature" may be considered by some to be "crackrock" if I design it badly, but useful and nice if it works well. (Specifics at my weblog.)
I think Advogato should not be changed. It's a really nice community, and people will come and go. Some people may decide that a community (with all that entails) isn't what they want to participate in; it's okay for people to leave; we should expect it. A scheme that hides warts will also hide freckles, and that won't necessarily make for more beauty.
Raph's trust-metic ideas are attack-resistent but not very apathy- or ignorance-resistent. When you certify someone, you are certifying their competency as a developer of free software, not their competency in deciding how others should be certified. As with any system, the scale grows inflated over time, unless there's a great deal of vigilence to prevent it. Should I be "Master"? Probably not.
I've never stated my position on The War because I'm pretty undecided. Please don't interpret my criticism of authors of posts like
"Chocolate killed my dog!", says little girl!
Sorry, timcw. I have a theory that mgl*zer is stress-testing Advogato's trust metric by behaving poorly, but I can't prove it. Every community needs a town fool, right?
Our fool has 16 "Apprentice" ratings, and I suspect that most of those raters don't realize that by giving a rating, they're rating him up; there is no negative rating in Advogato. These people, rated him a journeyer, which suggests you might want to reconsider your rating of them too: binaryfoo, sand, Barbicane, besfred, const, Rabbitt, sye, badvogato, Tofu, kilmo, nixnut, and robocoder.
update: I'm not that thin-skinned, jaldhar; do what you want. How much merit does an author of a single software project and daily diary entries of nothing but vitriol and links to other places deserve, though? I don't think you'd behave the same if you didn't agree with his ravings.
In other news, I decided to write my own wiki last night. I'm almost finished, as using apache mod_python, postgresql, and xml.sax makes it almost too easy.
Appended after seeing dyork's diary: I'm using XML to store the data in a neutral format, and I'm providing multiple front-end languages for editing it, so knowledge of Ward's format, structured text, MoinMoin format, et c., or raw XML, will keep you from having to visit TextFormattingRules, hopefully.
I'm working in my loft these days, which doesn't get any direct sunlight. This is great for strain of eyes -- no harsh glare and such -- but not so good for my body's circadian clock, which doesn't have read access on /dev/rtc. I came up with a idea yesterday that I hope will work.
I've used "floatbg", the root window color changer for X, a long time. It's neat that it changes the colors imperceptably on a small scale, but that if you notice your desktop on the scale of 20 minutes, it's a completely different color. It slowly plots a sine-wave through a HSV color wheel, where the hue is time and the saturation is the height of the sine. The value is fixed at start of execution ...until now.
I added an option to change the value setting to be also a function of time, but in the sense that it tries to mimic the amount of light that the sun casts onto the earth based on your system's response to localtime(). At night, the colors are muted and dark shades of gray. At 7AM, the background begins to lighten, peaking at noon with bright pastels, and tapering off through the range of colors, until 7PM, when it's back to "night colors".
Hopefully, this will help my subconcious. It was easier than hacking my medulla oblongata. I _hate_ hardware.
I sent the patch to the original author, but his 14 year-old email address bounced, so I CC'd the Debian maintainer too. Maybe it will be in the next general release, so all we dark-cave hackers won't be so screwed-up by our habits.
I'd paste the source here, but that'd be rude.
Next, maybe I'll see if I can make my window decorations do something similar. I'm using sawfish, and nearly anything is possible when a program holds a built-in Lisp interpreter.
New HTML Parser: The long-awaited libxml2 based HTML parser code is live. It needs further work but already handles most markup better than the original parser.
Keep up with the latest Advogato features by reading the Advogato status blog.

What Is Periodontal Disease?
Content Provided By Dr. Anthony Giardino
What Is Periodontal Disease?
Periodontal (gum) disease, such as gingivitis and periodontitis, are usually painless but serious infections that if left untreated can lead to tooth loss. The word periodontal literally means "around the tooth." Periodontal disease is a chronic bacterial infection that affects the gums and bone supporting the teeth. Periodontal disease can affect one tooth or many teeth. It begins when the bacteria in plaque (the sticky, colorless film that constantly forms on your teeth) causes the gums to become inflamed.
Some of the signs of periodontal disease include:
- Bleeding gums during brushing
- Red, swollen or tender gums
- Gums that have pulled away from the teeth
- Persistent bad breath
- Pus between the teeth and gums
- Loose or separating teeth
- A change in the way your teeth fit together when you bite
- A change in the fit of partial dentures
Although plaque is the primary cause of periodontal diseases, other factors such as smoking and tobacco use, pregnancy and puberty, stress, medications, clenching or grinding your teeth, and diabetes and other systemic diseases can play significant and contributing roles in the development, extent and/or severity of the disease. There can be many forms of periodontal disease with the most common forms described below.
Gingivitis is the mildest form of periodontal disease. It causes the gums to become red, swollen, and bleed easily. There is usually little or no discomfort at this stage. Gingivitis is often caused by inadequate oral hygiene (brushing and flossing). Gingivitis is reversible with professional treatment and good oral home care.
Untreated gingivitis can advance to periodontitis. With time, plaque can spread and grow below the gum line. Toxins produced by the bacteria in plaque irritate the gums. The toxins stimulate a chronic inflammatory response in which the body in essence turns on itself, and the tissues and bone that support the teeth are broken down and destroyed. Gums separate from the teeth, forming pockets (spaces between the teeth and gums) that become infected. As the disease progresses, the pockets deepen and more gum tissue and bone are destroyed. Often, this destructive process has very mild symptoms, but eventually, teeth can progress from mild to moderate to severe periodontal disease in which so much bone has been destroyed that the teeth need to be removed. Periodontitis is not a "curable" disease but it can be treated and stopped from progressing.
Studies have also shown that a link exists between periodontal disease and such conditions as diabetes, heart disease, and pre-term birth and low birth-weight babies. For more information on these subjects please ask one of the doctors.
There are several forms or ways of classifying periodontal disease. The most common ones include the following.
Chronic Periodontitis results in inflammation within the supporting tissues of the teeth, progressive attachment and bone loss. This is the most frequently occurring form of periodontitis and is characterized by pocket formation and/or recession of the gingiva. It is prevalent in adults, but can occur at any age. Progression of attachment loss usually occurs slowly, but periods of rapid progression can occur.
Aggressive Periodontitis occurs in patients who are otherwise clinically healthy. Common features include rapid attachment loss and bone destruction and familial aggregation.
Periodontitis as a manifestation of systemic diseases often begins at a young age. Systemic conditions such as heart disease, respiratory disease, and diabetes are associated with this form of periodontitis.
Necrotizing Periodontal Disease is an infection characterized by necrosis of gingival tissues, periodontal ligament and alveolar bone. These lesions are most commonly observed in individuals with systemic conditions such as HIV infection, malnutrition and immunosuppression.
Perio/Endo Lesions are a type of periodontitis that occurs in conjunction with a dead or dieing tooth. It can begin with deep pockets and bone loss that work its way into the nerve of the tooth killing it. It can also work in reverse with the infection from a dead nerve leading to bone loss and deep pocketing around a tooth.

Please post your VOTE for up to 2 {two} of the questions provided in this thread, letting us know which ones you most want to see asked on June 24th. Keep in mind that your votes in round 90 do not count in this round, so if your question is still on the list you may want to vote for it again.
Also, feel free to suggest new questions, but please keep in mind that due to the now extra-limited nature of the program, we cannot use every suggestion.
Current questions (vote for up to 2):
- - Force FX has entered a new phase with the removable blade series, and so far we've seen the first couple waves. Thanks to Clone Wars, female characters are back on the rise in Star Wars and bringing in more female collectors - Ahsoka especially has been selling very well. What does the future of Force FX look like? What are the chances of Ahsoka's lightsaber being added to the Force FX line, better opening that market up to female consumers and getting Clone Wars main character recognizability?
- - You have this nice new Qui-Gon Jinn figure that came out in the Jedi Evolution set, and has been re-released in the nifty Eopie mail-away set, yet both times the figure has been marred by including the blobby 1999 lightsaber accessory. Luke Jedi keeps coming out with either repaints of the ROTS Obi-Wan's lightsabers (which has different details), or worse, the blobby Obi-Wan POTJ saber from 2000. Both the '99 Qui-Gon and '00 Obi-Wan as Luke Jedi sabers also have the old smooth blade design without the flare on top of their soft hilt sculpting, and both Qui-Gon and Luke Jedi actually had better saber accessories designed during the Saga line, yet we never get them. And what about one of the most iconic lightsabers in recent SW memory, Darth Maul? There is no modern-quality version at all, the closest is the '02 Saga metal hilt with removable blades, but the blades break easily, so we haven't seen it in a while, and it's a bit long. We don't have a deactivated one to hang on a belt, don't have a 1-blade-activated version, don't have a "cut in half" version, Maul is pretty lacking for his weapon. Why are we getting old junky saber accessories with the modern versions of these guys? Why aren't we seeing better, more accurate lightsaber accessories for some of these fairly major, recognizable Jedi characters? And will these issues be addressed soon?
- - Vader's TIE Advanced X1 has been using the same POTF2 mold for over 13 years now, and the design is showing its age. The cockpit hatch is all wrong, the window is too small, the implementation of action gimmicks hurts the movie-accuracy and just aren't that fun, the cockpit isn't terribly accurate or sized that well to modern Vader figures, and the color is the blue-gray color of ESB and ROTJ rather than the proper gray color of ANH - the only film it was in. This is Vader's signature vehicle, it should at least live up to the quality of the other vehicles in the line, much less represent one of the brand's top characters - especially since the Hasbro SW team's vehicle designs have been so good lately too. What are the chances of seeing something done to address those issues on Vader's TIE Advanced X1 in the foreseeable future?
- - A few years ago, we asked about the chance for updating the role-play Han Solo Blaster and Stormtrooper Blaster accessories, and your response was a not at that time because they weren't supported by then-current entertainment. The existing role-play Stormtrooper and Han blasters are molds from the late '70s, now technically 5 decades old. While they do have some pretty decent design for items from that era, compared to Hasbro's newer role-play blasters, they come up a bit lacking in accuracy and features. We don't expect all-black movie accuracy due to safety concerns, but on those 2, the seams are a bit uncomfortable to hold, the lights and sounds don't deliver all that effectively and don't rapid-fire nicely; and on the Stormtrooper blaster, the stock is still missing in action, and there's never been a clip. With ANH being re-released next year on Blu-Ray, and in theaters in a few years, it seems like there are going to be opportunities to deliver updated versions of those 2 iconic blasters in the role-play lineup, so is there any chance of seeing that happen?
- - Sgt. Bric's initial cartoon outing turned out to be kind of a bust. The character was an unmemorable jerk and didn't really add anything to his storyline. In fact, if not for the action figure you guys did, he'd be a complete nobody in 2010. And on top of that, the postage on his set when it arrived in Los Angeles was a whopping $5.15, so after the cost of the box and the handling, just getting it out the door probably ate the entire $6.99 right there. Combine that with the fancy packaging and the battle mat, and the fact that he's 100% new tooling with some pricey-looking (for CW) paint, and it seems like Bric's quite an expensive promotional venture for Hasbro to have undertaken... all for a minor jerk of a character. What is it about Bric that made you choose him for a big Clone Wars mail-away promo figure?
- - The new R5-D4 figure does not have the painted red panels on his back. That might sound like a minor issue, but the panels are clearly visible in the film when the droid's motivator blows up, and they help give the little guy a bit more visual pop. Neither the 1996 nor the 2006 versions of R5-D4 had these painted either, so it's disappointing to see that the third time is not the charm (though it remains a detail that the original vintage figure got right). Given the number of running changes we've seen so far in The Vintage Collection, is it at all possible that this oversight might be changed on future shipments?
- - The Force FX lightsabers are targeted at adult collectibles, for a group who generally desire accuracy in their prop collectibles, and yet the latest ROTS Obi-Wan's lightsaber with removable blade suffers a big inaccuracy due to the blade needing to be securely anchored. However, with your removable-blade designs, you've started using dummy parts to fill in the removed blades, and we wonder if you'd consider for future thin-necked lightsabers like Luke ROTJ and Obi-Wan having the removable blade take the entire thick "neck" with it and having a more accurate thin-necked dummy design replace it. That much weight anchoring has been accomplished before in the thick metal coupler for the Maul saber halves that screwed together, on these thin-neck sabers the neck could screw down to the top part of the grip. That would let collectors have their cake and eat it too by giving an accurate hilt prop display with the thin neck, while still having the light-up blade play using the thick neck. So has there been any consideration for that sort of thing, and might it be seen in future Force FX sabers when needed?
- - In several instances now, when asked about the new Slave I getting an ESB release, the response is that it largely depends on how the current Clone Wars version does at retail. If the decision to release it this way is based off sales, why release this as a $100 set with a few re-released figures, and a vehicle repaint that wasn't really hotly requested? If this CW set does sell, does that suggest an ESB release would get a similar Ultimate Battle Pack treatment with the release of some new figures like Bespin Guards and an existing vehicle like the Cloud Car? If that's not likely in store for an ESB Slave I, why predicate that release on this one when it has a different pricepoint, market, and really a different business model altogether? Why release the CW one in this ultimate battle pack format, was this vehicle originally planned for the now-defunct $60 Deluxe Vehicle line and repurposed, was this always the plan for it, or if not, how did this come about this way?
- - When talking about cases including figures from previous waves to lengthen a sought-after figure's run, why is it that figures like the Gamorrean Guard and Wedge Antilles don't get planned to be revisited while the Sandtrooper and Grievous see repeat after repeat in later cases? You've told us that the line is meant to be "collector focused", we're even paying a dollar extra premium for the collector-focused smaller run, yet the figures nearly every collector already has - the ones that often end up pegwarming anyway - see nearly endless reruns in a bid to grab attention of casual consumers while the figures that collectors actually hunger for end up shorted at 1 per case in an extremely brief singular release window. On the Gamorrean's part, it seems doubly dangerous since that's a large investment in new tooling, we'd think Hasbro would want to see as much return as possible on that figure by selling as many as possible. It's not like the market has ever shown issues with the Gamorrean, unlike the Sandtrooper which has pegwarmed repeatedly in the modern line's 16 year run, yet this entire year was planned in advance under the notion that the Gamorrean would somehow be a collecting pariah, relegated to low interest and singular purchases, despite being a significant Jabba's Palace army builder and an incredibly recognizable Star Wars alien (to say nothing of the fact that it's an awesome figure to boot). So, um, why are the cool figures in TVC getting these short release windows and no carry-forward into later cases, and how soon could we expect to see that trend reversed in later cases?
Vote now, and suggest new questions too. Thanks for participating.

Clippers Lose To Cavaliers: Yep, That Just Happened
Posted on 14 Feb 2011 by Taylor Smith.
First thing's first. I knew the Cleveland Cavaliers had to win a game eventually. They came into Friday night's matchup with the Clippers riding an NBA-record 26-game losing streak, and were just getting Mo Williams back from injury. While they'd still lost 10 straight with Williams in the lineup before he went down, he's still the best player on the team. He came off the bench Friday night and...

Originally mohair-focused, Federated Farmers Goats Industry Group (GIG) now includes representatives from the wider sector.
The GIG executive includes representatives from Meat Goat New Zealand and the Dairy Goat Co-operative.
Recent executive discussions have been on progressing the goat industry and formulating a strategy to help deliver a strong and sustainable industry. Two key areas were identified.
A unified approach is important. Historically, differences of opinion between sector stakeholders meant efforts to improve the industry were not always as effective as they might have been.
While industry stakeholders will continue to work for their members' benefit, they will also identify all industry stakeholders and clarify possible roles within a unified sector so industry efforts can be co-ordinated and leveraged to best advantage.
The second initiative is the possible reinstatement of a goat meat levy. The executive agreed this should be investigated, initially by gauging stakeholder support, in principle, for the idea.
For more information on these issues contact John Woodward on 027 233 6581 or at email@example.com

You never, ever want the other team to have the ball to close the game out. Ever. Doesn't matter how high you are up on the scoreboard.
I feel like Philbin's management is fine. He didn't miss any of those field goals. The only thing I can fault him for is the decision to run at the end of the half that got Reggie hurt.
They need to do a better job instilling situational awareness into players though. I was about ready to flip **** when Charles Clay ran out of bounds like a dumbass.
I have a good fried, who was a DB in college, no star, no big school. I posted one of his analysis of our secondary here, and it was very well received. Some of his terminology was tuff for some to understand but, he even added video to explain. He could easily sit down with Coyle to discuss/debate the coverage schemes and questions he had.
On the other hand, you have taken some blind shots at Philbin and Sherman, without the same background or knowledge but, posting as if you do have this. It is somewhat annoying.
I do enjoy reading and replying to your posts but, ya really got to tone it down some. Unfounded opinions are just opinions, not the fact you portray. JMO

eVGA GeForce GTX 280 HC16 Hydro Copper review -
1 - A pretty cool introduction
|GeForce GTX 280 HC16 (Hydro Copper)
|SKU code:
|Street price:
Every now and then one of NVIDIA's board partners tries to do something special with one of their products. A nice overclock, custom coolers, new PCBs, there is a big bag of tricks to their disposal. But you have that, and then there always is a next step. Something weird, something special, often something very expensive. If you got cash to spend and like to go pro .. dude you gotta go for water-cooling. And if you combine that with NVIDIA fastest single GPU solution on the market, then chances are you'll have something special for sure. Manufacturers like EVGA can help you with that.
Take the GeForce GTX 280. A 1400 million transistor counting piece of silicon that raises the bar of single-GPU graphics processing. It's also a product that has been haunted and jinxed by a ghost called AMD with the RV770 product, which I'll now call Casper.
What sucks for NVIDIA, but is great for the consumer is that NVIDIA had to adapt their strategy. One of the big markers changed in that approach was to lower the pricing model of the top part of NVIDIA products. The GeForce GTX 280 dropped from an astoundingly overpriced 650 USD towards a way more interesting price. Though the MSRP is now set at 339 USD you can find (check here) the standard GTX 280 already for 419 USD ! And that certainly changed the dynamics, as that's a 35% price drop, making the GTX 280 way more flexible to put onto the market, and actually appealing to purchase.
Now why this long intro on pricing you ask? Well, what we are testing today is by itself unjustifiable expensive. So that massive price drop on NVIDIA's side helped out a lot, see, as for less than the original price 8 weeks ago, at $629.99 you can purchase the product we're testing today. But more on that later.
A water-cooled pre-overclocked heavily pimped out EVGA GTX 280 HC 16 is what we'll review today. Have a quick peek at the photo below and then let's dive into the full review.
