There are two types of companies I run into.
The first type of company spends a lot of money on marketing. I see catalogers spending 40% of net sales on marketing. I see e-commerce businesses spending 25% of net sales on a dizzying array of a thousand online marketing channels.
If you are an employee at this company, marketing is part of your DNA. You cannot generate orders without marketing. Anytime you have success, your success happened because of the marketing campaigns you executed. And you are right. Because your sales are generated from marketing, your success came from marketing. When the merchandising team fails, of course, and customers choose to not buy merchandise, marketing gets blamed - even though business failure has nothing to do with marketing - you DNA dictates who gets blamed. Is it any wonder, then, that CMOs get fired every two or three years?
The second type of company sells merchandise. Merchandise is in the DNA of the company. This company strongly believes that without great merchandise, customers will not purchase. Marketing is viewed in the same way that a call center is viewed in a direct business, or the point-of-sale system is viewed in retail - it is part of the process of a customer buying merchandise.
The first type of company gets the customer in the Upper Right segment.
The second type of company gets the customer in the Lower Right segment.
Both companies believe they are right.
The first type of company grows faster, experiences more stress, and generates less profit as a percentage of sales.
The second type of company grows slower, experiences less stress, and generates more profit as a percentage of sales.
Neither strategy is right or wrong, both strategies can be highly successful. But as a business leader, vendor, or consultant, how you deal with each company is fundamentally different.

Warner Bros. brass were reportedly meeting today to determine how to sell The Dark Knight, both as a film and in terms of merchandising, in light of the recent death of one of the film's stars, Heath Ledger.
According to Slate.com, the studio still intends on releasing The Dark Knight as planned this July, but their sources claim that the studio might hire a voice actor to loop some of Ledger's dialogue as The Joker.
There's still a debate over whether Ledger was finished with post-production work on the film. As Slate points out, "the studio's denials would be understandable: Warner wouldn't want the public to be listening for variations in the voice when the movie is released."
The site claims that a voice actor will almost certainly provide The Joker's voice for theme park attractions and merchandising tie-ins. Warners is trying to determine how to sell products bearing Ledger's likeness as The Joker, which the actor gave his consent to, without appearing to be exploiting his death.
Slate also reports that the movie's marketing campaign was set to soon begin shifting focus away from The Joker even before Ledger's death. (SPOILER WARNING!) "A source close to the project says the plan all along was to start with the Joker and then segue to the image of Aaron Eckhart as Two-Face. In the film, Two-Face is in a love triangle with Rachel Dawes, played by Maggie Gyllenhaal."

Victoria Beckham 'sparks lip speculation'
According to a top plastic surgeon, Victoria Beckham could have had lip fillers recently.
The designer stepped out with a full pout while shopping in New York City recently.
According to a top plastic surgeon, the former Spice Girl may have had some help in the form of plumping injections.
"The giveaway is the side shot," Dr. Alex Karidis told British magazine new! while looking at recent pictures of the star.
"There's more projection and lip curl, and a bit of an edge on the lip, which is indicative of having some sort of filler."
Victoria looked relaxed in classic aviator sunglasses and a chic camel-coloured top as she shopped in Barneys.
Dr. Karidis claims she has gone for a nice, natural look with her pout.
"It's impossible to say which one [filler], as there are over 60 types. This has the look of hyaluronic acid, which is temporary - it should last between four and six months," he said.
"It's more pronounced when you've just had it done, and she seems to have more on the top lip, which would make sense as the bottom lip is naturally fuller anyway. She has done well not to overdo it."
Victoria's pout was emphasised with her signature, natural gloss.
The star recently revealed her go-to product is bargain buy Stila Lip Glaze.

Joke of the Day
Homer J Simpson
A woman is having an affair during the day while her husband is at work. Her 9 year old son comes home unexpectedly, sees them and hides in the bedroom closet to watch. The woman's husband also comes home so she puts her lover in the closet not realizing that her son is hiding in there.
The little boy says ''It's dark in here''
The man replies ''Yes, it is''
Boy - "I have a baseball."
Man - "That's nice."
Boy - "Want to buy it?"
Man - "No, thanks."
Boy - "My dad's outside."
Man - "OK, how much?"
Boy - "$250"
In the next few weeks, it happens again that the boy and the lover are in the closet together once again.
Boy - "Dark in here."
Man - "Yes, it is."
Boy - "I have a baseball glove."
The lover remembering the last time, asks the boy,
"How much?"
Boy - "$750"
Man - "Fine."
A few days later, the father says to the boy, "Grab
your glove, let's go outside and have a game of catch."
The boy says, "I can't, I sold my baseball and my glove."
The father asks, "How much did you sell them for?"
Boy - "$1,000"
The father says, "That's terrible to overcharge your friends like
that... that is way more than those two things cost. I'm going to take you to church and make you confess."
They go to the church and the father makes the little boy sit in the confession booth and he closes the door.
The boy says, "Dark in here."
The priest says, "Don't start that shit again!''
Lol well done...I will say though, it was the best $1000 I ever spent 😉
Very good, would have made more sense if it was the priest and the boy having an affair of sorts though...

Mets Win in 11
It was the kind of game I've talked about on MostlyMets many times before. A character builder. A game where one event happens that deflates you but instead of folding you rise to the occassion and show the opponent who's boss.
The deflating event happened in the 9th inning. After a David Wright throwing error allowed one run to score Barry Bonds came on to pinch hit and promptly knocked a 2-run homer off Mets closer Billy Wagner to tie the game.
The Mets could have folded after that. The Bonds blast was just that devastating. But they didn't. They focused, dug in and won the game in 11 innings.
It was an interesting game all around. Here is a run down of some of the highlights.
- Julio Franco became the oldest player since 1909 to steal a base.
- Bonds homer was number 711 of his career. (We'll let the investigators decide if there should be an asterisk on that number.)
- Brian Bannister pulled up lame at home plate in the sixth inning and was removed from the game. He will be evaluated in Atlanta but it is being called a hamstring strain for now. This will either be nothing or something big.
- This was Wagner's second blown save of the season. Both blown saves occured in games started by Bannister.
And now for the good, bad and ugly of yesterday's game:
Good – Carlos Delgado (9th homer ties Mets club record for homers in April)
Bad – Wright (throwing error in 9th costly)
Ugly – Wagner (1 IP, 2H, 3 R, Blown Save)

Epicycloid and Hypocycloid
Main Concept
An epicycloid is a plane curve created by tracing a chosen point on the edge of a circle of radius r rolling on the outside of a circle of radius R. A hypocycloid is obtained similarly except that the circle of radius r rolls on the inside of the circle of radius R.
The parametric equations for the epicycloid and hypocycloid are:
xθ= R+r ⋅ cosθ +s⋅r ⋅ cosR+rr⋅θ
yθ= R+r ⋅ sinθ − r ⋅ sinR+rr⋅θ
where s=1 for the epicycloid and s=−1 for the hypocycloid.
Epitrochoid and hypotrochoid
Two related curves result when we include another parameter, L, which represents the ratio of pen length to the radius of the circle:
xθ= R+r ⋅ cosθ +s⋅L⋅r ⋅ cosR+rr⋅θ
yθ= R+r ⋅ sinθ − L⋅r ⋅ sinR+rr⋅θ
When s=1 and L ≠ 1 the curve is called an epitrochoid; when s=−1 and L ≠ 1, the curve is called a hypotrochoid.
Number of cusps
Let k = Rr.
If k is an integer, the curve has k cusps.
If k is a rational number, k = ab and k is expressed in simplest terms, then the curve has a cusps.
If k is an irrational number, then the curve never closes.

Six-foot-2, 180 pound St. Paul Johnson guard Marcus Marshall saw his offer list grow by two this week bringing his current division one scholarship tally to six offers. Marshall is the top scorer for 43 Hoops this spring and so far he's had a standout out two months despite a leg injury at the Jayhawk Invitational.
"Marcus is playing very well," said 43 Hoops coach Al Harris who is also a coach at Johnson. "He is definitely a leader on the floor and has improved a lot already in making his teammates better.
"What makes Marcus a standout to me right now is that his is very efficient as a scorer plus he has the ability to make others better."
Coming into the AAU year Marcus had offers from Indiana State, Northern Illinois, South Dakota State, and Missouri-Kansas City. He has since grabbed a couple more offers plus building interest.
"Marcus has been offered by the University of South Dakota and also the University of Albany," said Harris. "Other schools that are watching him closely now are the Gophers, Wisconsin, Penn State, Iowa, Butler, Missouri, Missouri State, North Dakota State, just to name a few.
"Marcus has also received letters of interest from Kansas in recent weeks from assistant coach Danny Manning."
Marcus has a natural scoring ability but it's more than just that that has coaches interested.
"What is making Marcus appealing to college programs is his combo guard ability," Al said. "A lot of coaches have seen that he can naturally run the point guard but he can also score from that position and that really has raised his level of opportunity."

Using Ubuntu serving for windows - File system dilemma
Hello, I would like to use my ubuntu computer (2.2GHz Dual core Sempron, 2GB DDR2 RAM and a 500GB HDD) as a personal server, almost like a networked external HDD. I assume this means I need a file system that will work with both windows and Linux, ie: NTFS windows only ext2 & 3 linux only. I have been told that FAT32 is only going to work is my HDD is under 160GB. Can you confirm or deny this? Also I use a separate 80GB PATA HDD for the ubuntu installation, the 500GB is the one I need to be accessible under both windows and linux. If anyone can help that's great, also if you can think of any potential problems I may come across yell out.
Decided to go with FAT32, still want you opinions tho!! Also how do I set the HDDs permissions so that any computer plugged into it will have unrestricted access to the drive but no access to the 80GB HDD.
Its not clear if you mean you want to dual boot Ms and Linux & have them share data, or use your Linux system as a server and connect from MS over your lan?
In the former case you can use NTFS or ext3; both OSes have the ability, via utils to read/write either.
In the latter case, the 2 most likely tools are Samba or NFS; your choice.

Rate Arrowhead Hospital
Ratings for Arrowhead Hospital
Horrible hospital. Everytime we needed a test there was a delay which delayed results and other procedures - like blood transfusion. Bone marrow biopsy had to be done a second time due to a small sample and it takes 2 days to get results. Most of the nurses were nice.
wonderful experience. would definitely go there again
On both and inpatient and outpatient basis, this facility is the worst. Had to be admitted after complications from what was supposed to be routine outpatient surgery, and they almost succeeded in killing me before I got out of there. Since then, I have heard countless stories from other people about how going in for relatively minor procedures spun into life-threatening situations. I don't understand how this hospital has not been closed down.
I had surgery there and the nurse could not wait to get rid of me. I was in recover for about 15 mins when i had to use the bathroom she put in a wheel chair brought me to the restroom she asked me what was taking so long i told her i was vomiting. when i was done she wheel me back to recover area and left me in the chair (i was sick to my stomach in pain and very dizzy) she called my daughter to pick me up 40 mins after the surgery (instead of an hour)my daughter was parking her car when the nurse was calling. because my daughter didnt answer she wheeled my around the hospital looking for my daughter all the while i am in freaken pain and very sick to my stomach (of course i vomited while on her wild goose chase)
Great hospital, clean, bright. Excellent medical staff. Even has a good cafeteria.
My husband had hip surgery on Thanksgiving Day. The surgery took place the day after he was checked in (had to wait till morning because he had eaten). They had him checked out by Friday night confident he could do his physical therapy on his own. The nurses were fantastic! It was not a busy time so hard to tell how quick the responses would normally be. He ended up with a private room because they had one available but only paid for the semi-private. They repeatedly checked who he was, why he was there, which leg it was before doing anything. We had no complaints at all until just before checkout. There was one doctor who was clueless but fortunately unnecessary (the rounds doctor). And there was a mixup with his prescriptions - the wrong patient names were put on two of (right scrips, wrong label) them meaning we had to drive back from the pharmacy to get new scrips with his name on them. This meant a long drive for us but no harm done and the nurse was very apologetic about it.

Savings Catcher Price Match Program
If you shop at Walmart, you need to be taking advantage of their price match program called Savings Catcher. If you do a lot of your weekly shopping at Walmart, this will help you get sale prices from other stores with very little effort. shop at other stores like Kroger and Food Lion, who don't double coupons, you may find this price match program allows you to cut out multiple trips to various stores, while still getting the best area sale prices. Even if you already price match at the register (which you can still continue to do), this can save you money by catching any prices you didn't realize were lower at another store.
How It Works:
If a local competitor offers a lower advertised price on an item you purchased at Walmart, the Savings Catcher program allows you to get back the difference on a Walmart Rewards eGift Card. You basically get a rebate for the price match.
To get the price match rebate, you must submit your receipt to the Savings Catcher. There are 3 ways to submit receipts:
1. Enter the receipt number at Walmart.com/savingscatcher. You will need to sign in using your Walmart account information or sign up for a walmart.com account. The receipt number (TC number) is located near the bottom of your Walmart store receipt.
2. Scan the code at the bottom of your store receipt with the scanner found in the Savings Catcher section of the Walmart app.
3. Register your phone number through the Walmart app or debit card reader located at in-store checkout. Every time you check out at a Walmart store, enter your phone number and Walmart will submit your receipt to Savings Catcher for you.
Once you submit your receipt, Savings Catcher compares the prices of the products you bought at Walmart to the sale prices found in the competitor ads for your area. The ads must be valid at the time you made your Walmart purchase.
If Savings Catcher finds an advertised lower price, you'll get back the difference on a Walmart Rewards eGift Card!
You will get your price match results within 72 hours of submitting your receipt. They will send the results via email or through the Walmart app.
Additional Details:
* You can submit up to 7 receipts per week to Savings Catcher.
* You can save up to $599.99 per year with this program.
* You can use coupons at the register and still get the price match.
* The ads must be valid at the time you made your Walmart purchase and include a specific item price.
* Only applies to in-store purchases.
* Now supported in the Walmart app for both iPhone and Android. Just click on the Savings Catcher button from the home screen to submit receipts or see your results.
Items included in this program:
- Most groceries such as cereal, rice and pasta.
- Cleaning and paper products like paper towels, bleach and trash bags.
- Health and beauty items.

Sudirman, Rubita and Othman, Mohd. Afzan and Mat Safri, Norlaili (2010) Characterization of ventricular arrhythmias in electrocardiogram signal using semantic mining algorithm. In: 4th Asia International Conference on Mathematical Modelling & Computer Simulation (AMS 2010), 26-28 Mei 2010, Kota Kinabalu, Sabah.

Ventricular arrhythmias, especially ventricular fibrillation, is a type of arrhythmias that can cause sudden death. The paper applies semantic mining approach to electrocardiograph (ECG) signals in order to extract its significant characteristics (frequency, damping coefficient and input signal) to be used for classification purpose. Real data from an arrhythmia database are used after noise filtration. After features extraction they are statistically classified into three groups, i.e. normal (N), normal patients (PN) and patients with ventricular arrhythmia (V). We found that the V, PN, and N types of ECG signals can be identified by the extracted parameters. It is estimated that the parameters in semantic algorithm can be use to predict the onset of ventricular arrhythmias.

Boot up and access times are much improved but performance has been disappointing in other areas such as PC games, even those using a lot of disk access. Any thoughts? Seems like my computer is still access the regular hard drives while some games are running inspite of the fact all of their files are now on the SSD. Perhaps there is something I need to modify in my boot sequence/configuration?

Strayer University students may also apply for private educational loans, which are credit-based funds provided by outside, nonfederal lenders to pay for the difference between the cost of attendance and amounts receive through loans and grants under federal financial aid programs, or other tuition assistance programs.
The lender determines eligibility, terms and conditions, and amounts of private educational loans, but they may not exceed the cost of education minus other aid. The Federal Government does not subsidize or guarantee private loans.
Guidance on Private Loans
There are several Web sites providing lists of different private loan options that can be a helpful first step in considering whether to obtain a private educational loan. An example of these Web sites is provided below. Students are encouraged to visit actual lender websites in order to find the rates, terms, and services that are right for them.
Have You Considered Federal Financial Aid?
Students considering private loans should realize that they may qualify for loans or other assistance under Title IV (Federal financial aid). The terms and conditions of these loans may be more favorable than the provisions of private education loans. For more information on Federal financial aid programs, please visit http://studentaid.ed.gov.

Exercise and Fitness
Can`t increase cardio intensity
I have been exercising for a long time (cardio and weights) but I can`t seem to increase the intensity of my cardio routine. I have never been able to run, I get out of breath within 2 minutes and my legs feel heavy and awkward. So, I usually spend about 45 minutes on low intensity cardio and then 20 minutes lifting weights 3-5x/week. I will admit to a poor diet. I eat healthy food on occasion but have a real addiction to sweets that I can`t shake. Plus I have an uncontrolable appetite especially after exercising. For the first half of my life I was underweight but now I am 20 or so pounds over. I am a 40 y/o female 5`5" and 148lbs. I gained 70 pounds with my first pregnancy and have had an issue with weight ever since. I know I have to get my sweet tooth under control but do you have any suggestions for increasing my cardio tolerance. It`s frustrating not seeing any results.
The American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) recommends that exercise performed at a moderate intensity should be undertaken most days of the week. The duration of an exercise session interacts with the intensity to result in the expenditure of a sufficient number of calories to achieve health, fitness, and weight management goals. The duration of exercise recommended by ACSM includes 20 to 60 minutes of continuous or intermittent (minimum of 10 minute bouts)aerobic activity accumulated throughout the day. For many participants, this may be accomplished best with moderate -intensity, long-duration exercise, such as walking. A desirable weight loss program is one that implements healthy eating and physical activity habits that can be continued for life in order to maintain the achieved lower body weight.
It may also be helpful to consult a registered dietitian to review your diet to determine if you are eating in a manner that will best help you reach your goals. Weight loss will only be successful if you commit to lifelong healthy eating and a regular exercise program. Give yourself time to adjust to a new routine and make it a part of your daily life. Good luck to you.

Nevermore Studio Update
The new Nevermore album is under way. Here's an update from Warrell Dane:
"Sorry it took so long to get started with the studio report but this time we are all still working our regular jobs and recording so things are a bit hectic. All the drum tracks are done. All the bass tracks as well as the main guitar tracks are done. Jeff is doing solos as we speak. I have three main vocals done and things are going very good. Kelly is really easy to work with...so put your fears to rest!! Some really good news for you guys....the release date at this point is June 17th ...yes June 17th in the US and I believe June 24th in Europe, so the wait won't be much longer....be patient...the enemy awaits"

After more than three years of existence, including two U.S. tours and a full-length on Alveran Records, Montreal's A Death For Every Sin has apparently broken up. Here's a statement from vocalist Nick:
"Due to numerous reasons, we decided that it was time for us to put this band to rest. We have been together since the summer of 1999 and things just haven't worked out the way we wanted them to. Sadly, this means that we won`t be doing our upcoming European tour. We were looking forward to that but we can`t make it financially. We sincerily apologize to everyone who booked us or wanted to see us. We will, however, be playing one last show but we haven`t decided when. Some of us plan on focusing on another project so keep your eyes open for that in the near future."

Between The Buried And Me has parted ways with drummer Michael Reig, who only joined the band in October, for unspecified reasons.

Headline News
Hellhammer Leaving The Kovenant
According to an Official Press Release released today by Nuclear Blast Germany, drummer Hellhammer will be leaving The Kovenant.
The release stated: "So another chapter in the bands history has come to and end. It has mutually been decided that Von Blomberg (aka Hellhammer), will be leaving the band. And a new replacement drummer will be taking his place. New members for the band are also being auditioned, and will be revealed shortly. With the imminent release of the 4th album, Seti, things are looking very good for the future of The Kovenant. And being more dedicated and headstrong than ever. I can only predict greater things in store for us. We would like to thank Von Blomberg for the years of mischief and friendship, and wish him well on his future escapades. Wherever that may be. And that he will always remember that together we have made history more than once... Lex Icon, Psy Coma & Angel"
Borknagar's Lars Nedland Speaks to BW&BK
Currently on the promotion trail to push his new Solefald album In Harmonia Universali - open minded black metal fans would be wise to check it out - Borknagar keyboardist Lars "Lazare" Nedland gave BW&BK some insight as to what is in store for the fans.
"Yeah, the new one is going to be a reggae album," Nedland laughs. "Actually, it's going to be a continuation of Empiricism, but I think there will be more of the traditional acoustic passages. And, there will be an even bigger focus on the vocal melodies this time, now that we have the time to sit down and really work things out. We've got about twelve or thirteen songs written and we're picking out the ones we like best for the album. We're entering the studio in the middle of March, and I figure we'll be finished by the middle of the summer, which means an autumn release."
Although guitarist Oystein is the creative force behind Borknagar, Nedland reveals that he and the other members of the band contribute fully to the songwriting. For Nedland this means a welcome dose of structure in his compositions. More...
Testament Recruit Mickelson for No Mercy
Guitarist Eric Peterson posted, in the Eric's Lair portion of the band's
Filling in on this tour and possibly more will be Asgeir Mickelson from the bands Borknagar, Spiral Architect and Vintersorg. Asgeir is a long time Testament fan and is ready to tear some shit up with us! Hails to Asgeir!
In other news... we are in heavy writing mode and are demoing up songs, so far about seven have been born! All I can say that it's in "The Gathering" and old school thrash vein! We will finish up early summer, and record hopefully in early fall. In between all of this, we will be on the road here and there, once again to get our vibe back. More later! See ya on tour!"
Usurper Searching for New Drummer
According to their website Usurper are currently seeking a new drummer. Interested parties can contact email@example.com or email@example.com. Guitarist Rick Scythe has posted the following message:
"After five years of dedicated service which included recording three albums and various US/Euro tours, we have decided to part ways with Dave Hellstorm. There are no hard feelings. Dave was, and is still is our metal brother, it was just time for us to get some fresh blood in the band. Dave informed us that he was unsure he wanted to continue with Usurper after the mini tour we did with Manowar back in March 2002. He said he wanted this to be his last tour so he could concentrate on his own life and work on his own drum project, but he said he would help us out until we found a replacement. We then talked to a few people (including the original Usurper drummer Joe "Apocalyptic" Warlord), but then we had the fire at our rehearsal building which set us back nearly 2 months without rehearsing.

Four shows in Holland which also went down well and then off to the United Kingdom which we finished with mixed emotions. More...

"Ave! Guess it's about time to give you all some update on what's currently going on within the Dark Funeral hell camp. I know we've kept ourselves perhaps a bit too silent lately, but there are some reasons for that, reasons that I won't dig into right now.
"Anyway, as you already might know we have for the past couple of months been holding auditions in order to find a replacement for Dominion who left the band some time ago. It looks like we finally have found the 'right' guy for the job. But there's really no hurry to reveal his name as of yet, but we will give you all a full presentation on him shortly.

Iced Earth to hit Studio in April
Iced Earth mainman Jon Schaffer has posted the following update to the band's official web site, www.icedearth.com:
"We will begin recording around the first week of April. I am very happy with the way things are going. I've never felt so good and excited about a record before, this will really be a special one.
"A while back I was working on a song called 'Gettysburg' and it was a nice piece of music but it really wasn't giving me what I felt I needed to tell the story of what went on there 140 years ago. It's nearly impossible in 5-6 minutes of music. So around Super Bowl weekend I scrapped the original idea and started writing what I hope will be the biggest and best epic I've ever written. It has, without a doubt, been the most challenging subject matter and emotionally taxing undertaking that I've ever tackled. It will be just about 30 minutes long and told in 3 parts, one for each day of the battle. It will be called 'Gettysburg (1863)' but will consist of 3 songs entitled 'The Devil to Pay', 'Hold at all Costs', and 'High Water Mark'. I will be hiring the Prague Philharmonic Orchestra to perform on it, as well as a few parts on a couple of other songs. I am working on string sections and the other symphony parts now and finishing up lyrics on it and on some of the other tunes. More...

"NO MEDLEY'S!!! (that's for you Rich)
"Full songs with leads! Today is the last day. We'll put the set list together. It's going to change quite a bit throughout the tour because we know about 35 songs with Rob now. More...

"Waiting Room Entertainment programs have been enjoyed by our waiting patients. Best of all, it works just as well without the sound for those who prefer to read. I can see why trivia has been so popular for so many years. It's perfect for the waiting room."
T.L., Grand Rapids, MI
"We have several clinics and for years have been looking for a better solution as we tried a few things that didn't work well for us. We tested Waiting Room Entertainment and our patients loved it. It's well worth the $79. The multiple choice trivia questions work for all ages. We wound up putting them in all our facilities."
T.M., Baltimore, MD
"In our waiting room we need to keep the flat screen TV loud for those news watchers that don't hear well, so it's a constant balancing act keeping everyone happy. Waiting Room Entertainment trivia programming does just that. Everyone's happy."

Installing ardour on SUSE10.1
Hi I'm trying to install ardour on a SUSE10.1-box and even all requirements seem to be cool running scons returns with
*** [libs/ardour/audio_library.o] Error 1
building terminated because of errors.
Could someone send me an angel?
You haven't included the actual errors themselves. But even without them I'd be willing to bet that you haven't installed all the required development libraries.
Are you compiling 0.99.3 or 2.0 SVN?
Read the page on how to compile Ardour for more information.
Installing ardour on SUSE 10.2
I am a totally new LINUX-user (may be I'm not the only one). Is it possible to create a repository for SuSE too? Because it is not really easy to install it without professional help...
Check out www.jacklab.net.
In the forum there is all info need to build a Digital Audio Workstation from SuSE 10.2 (or 10.1 actually it doesn't matter)...
You can also install the JackLab-Kernel, to get better Audio-Performance.
:-) This is what I ment. Thanks a lot

STANFORD, CA, USA - With Serena Williams' returning to the winners circle, the continuing good form of Andrea Petkovic and strong showings from several home hopes, there were plenty of good storylines at this year's Bank of the West Classic.
However, it was not only the women on the court that were creating an impression in Stanford. Behind the scenes, tournament organizers assembled a stellar line-up, including an all-female TV production crew and tournament staff.
Among the women helping make the tournament's 44th staging such a success were ESPN's Grand Slam winning trio of Chris Evert, Mary Joe Fernandez and Pam Shriver, as well as tournament director Kim Hall Uliasz, US Open Series project manager Gigi Longhini Stramm and the WTA's Pam Whytcross and Donna Kelso.

Transition From Home Cakes To Professional Cakes
Decorating By dantherex Updated 4 Jan 2012 , 5:41am by rosech
I've been baking for a about 7 years, and I've learned a lot along the way. I've always wanted to do cakes but decorating wise I've never really been taught. (I can torte, ice, and decorate a generic shell bordered cake with roses.)
I want to start progressing to more professional wedding cakes, but 1. How do I get started into that type of decorating? 2. I love to practice my skills, but my own family is sick and tired of cake every week XD.
I would love to hear your stories and any advice for me thanks!
You can use styrofoam cake dummies.
You can use styrofoam cake dummies.
What kind of techniques should I be perfecting? Fondant covering? IDK im so lost >.<
Take some cake decorating classes. I had been doing cakes for family and friends for about 7 years when I decided to take the classes offered at Michaels. They were pretty informative. You can also get instructional dvd's or watch tutorials on youtube.
You can do anything with a cake dummy, except for eat it of course lol! This way you can practice whatever you want without having to waste time making cakes that your family is tired of eating.
It is good to take basic cake decorating classes. I took one a long time ago when I was about 17. Back then there were only three Wilton Courses. I think I only did the first and second.
As for what techniques to practice, that is solely up to you. It will depend on your decorating style and how you want to develop your skills. I think it's good to have a little bit of everything under your belt. A lot of us are buttercream only decorators, some mostly work in fondant, and others do both. I am a buttercream with fondant accents decorator.
It is good to get some experience in a lot of decorating mediums (fondant, buttercream, royal icing, modeling chocolate, etc.) because you never know when one of those will come in handy or when a particular design will call for one of those mediums.
I think the best approach is to get some dummies and make a batch of the crappy Wilton "buttercream" and practice (the best part is you can re-use it over and over again). Wilton makes, or at least used to make practice boards on which you could practice piping. I still have mine. Wilton fondant is gross but it's cheap at Michael's with a coupon and you can use it to practice covering your dummies.
I think taking some of the Michael's art classes wouldn't hurt either. Or something simple from your adult education school. Seems like the better decorators have lots of artistic skills.
I think one of the best ways to focus on learning new techniques is to pick a cake design you like and try to duplicate it. Don't try to learn everything all at once. If you focus on one cake design you can hone in on what to do and what you need for that particular cake...supplies...techniques etc. and then go from there. You can ask specific questions here on CC...go on YouTube for tutorials...get the information you need to gain basic knowledge so you can advance to other techniques.
I personally would start with a buttercream cake with fondant accents. It's good to learn how to smooth your buttercream as well as learn how to work with fondant before trying to cover a whole cake with it . I still don't cover my cakes with fondant because I tried once and it was terrible. I am, however going to take a basic fondant course this month to hopefully learn how to do it properly! I feel I can handle it now.
Just enjoy learning and don't get discouraged if something doesn't turn out perfect. Oh...and if you need to get rid of cake, think about giving it to a nursing home, or give to someone to take to their office. People love freebies! Good luck!
I agree with carmijok, pick a challenging cake and try to do it- that's what I did with my very first cake (a superhero cake) - I learned how to work with fondant, cereal treats, and piping all in one cake! You tube is very helpful to me as well - as I am still a beginner, I will be taking the Wilton classes at Joanns to learn the basics -b/c I just jumped in w/o knowing anything!
But as far as who to take cakes to....definately donate a couple- that is what I do, I will donate practice cupcakes or cakes to offices- I take them to my work- which has over 300 people, I send them to work with my stepdad-he works a state job with lots of people- I send them to school with my son's....and believe it or not- I actually get orders this way- free advertisement!!
I haven't worked with a cake dummy yet- b/c I don't know what to do with it afterwards but I would definitely pick a challenging cake that has nothing to do with buttercream roses or what you are used to- and learn by doing!
Have fun!
The first tiered, and first fondant cake I did was my daughter's 4 tier castle wedding cake. Talk about a learning experience! It wasn't a beginner cake, but I'm pleased to say that it was beautiful, but I wouldn't advise doing something like that.
If you have the basic baking under your belt and you've conquered buttercream then you're ready to move on to modelling chocolate, fondant, royal icing. Pick a small project - - it doesn't even have to be a cake - - and practice until you feel comfortable with it. When I first started doing flowers, they were everywhere! Some I used, some I didn't.
Good luck and don't be afraid to ask for help - - we've been there!
When your dummy is decorated, let it hang around the house for awhile until you get sick of looking at it. Then wash it, let it dry thoroughly, and store it somewhere until you're ready to use it again.
I quit doing free cakes because I was losing out on inputs money. Also I was not learning fast enough because each time I asked for feedback it was always positive comments. People are always nice when they get free cake. I just started advertising and got requests of way different cakes from what I was practising on dummies. The first feedback for paid cake was that cake was too dry. Made me research more on better recipes and other factors. Every order has had its own demands which made me learn much faster. My cakes have low prices and those who order know that. At least I recover ingredients money with a little profit. Those who have ordered more than once comment on improvements. I sometimes offer to do cake for some close people occasions where they give me inputs money only. I will increase my prices with time. I would not have learned so much in 6 months if I was doing donation cakes.

text: I'm a gamer and a Linux tinker so when I saw Ventriloid and Mangler on Google Play I was quite excited. Unfortunately both Apps gave me the dreaded "bugger off, this app hates your phone" error message (better know as: "This app is incompatible with your Telus LGE LG-C710h"). Wonder why it was incompatible, I decided to do some research and discovered that the Shine Plus met all the requirements. This cause me a bit of confusions so I decided to see if I could download the App from another source, but all the source I could find linked back to Google Play. At this point I figured I should see if I could find any information on developers page that would help. Low and behold they have a download page complete with the apk file. I downloaded the file, moved it to my SD card and installed Astro File Manager. Using Astro I was able to install Mangler and it runs perfectly. Here's the link to the apk: Index of /downloads/android Enjoy!

Aurora -- Some people might be surprised to learn that Gerald Kohanski, who has been a fixture as a member of the Aurora Board of Education for 17 years -- the last 15 as president -- actually lost his first election for the School Board.
Three candidates competed for two seats, and Kohanski finished last, losing by about 100 votes.
"I was politically naïve," he said. "But it was a good learning experience. Two years later, I took it more seriously. I've been on the Board ever since."
As School Board president, Kohanski said he enjoys the position, but admitted, "You're more of a target for people."
Kohanski said fellow School Board member Annie Grohe recently told him jokingly, "Somebody has to wear the black hat, and you fit the role."
Superintendent Russ Bennett believes Kohanski's leadership "has been instrumental in enhancing programs, improving our financial situation and helped lead us to the point where we are today as one of the top-rated school districts in Ohio."
Bennett said by tracing Kohanski's time on the Board, "it's obvious to see the improvements that have occurred.
"The implementation of the International Baccalaureate program, the expansion of the advanced placement curriculum, the investment in interventions and support for struggling students, and the increased expectations for all students and staff have created a district that offers the opportunities for students to go to any college of their choice or to be prepared for whatever the child wishes upon graduation."
Kohanski, 65, said he has been "part of a great team" led by two superintendents -- Bennett and Jerry Brodsky.
"I'm proud of our student achievements, which is a product of a team - teachers, parents, administration and students," he said. "We have great parents and students. I'm also proud that we've managed the district well financially."
KOHANSKI said he decided to run for the School Board because "I was at a point in my life where I had something to contribute to the community. I enjoy the sense of contributing to the welfare of the students, to their education. I'm passionate about that."
Bennett is not surprised. He said Kohanski "cares deeply for the students and does what is best for them. His strong convictions about 'kids come first' has guided all his decisions."
Kohanski, a retired corporate executive at Cliffs Natural Resources, teaches freshman composition at the Kent State University facility in Twinsburg.
"I enjoy working with the younger generation," he said. "It gives me a sense of contribution."
Kohanski's wife, Mary, is Bennett's secretary, but Kohanski stressed that she was working for the schools long before he joined the School Board.
"Mary has always been involved in our children's education," he said. "She has been my inspiration. She is a very smart, savvy lady who has the respect of a lot of people in the community."
They have three grown children who all graduated from Aurora High School and Hiram College, including Tara Bultrowicz, a school psychologist in Cuyahoga Falls, and Courtney Kohanski, a first-grade teacher at Craddock School. Both live two houses away from each other in Reminderville.
The only non-educator is son Derek, an attorney who lives in Aurora.
Following his initial defeat, Kohanski is pleased that his School Board career has continued on for so long. "I'm grateful the voters have allowed me to serve this long," he said. "It's a real privilege."

Tuscan Scrambled Eggs
I honestly don't know if they serve scrambled eggs this way in Tuscany, but ever since we started making eggs this way, pulled from Tuscany: The Beautiful Cookbook we've called them "Tuscan Eggs". They are very easy to prepare; the trick is to simmer the tomato and onion sauce for at least a half an hour before adding the eggs. Delicious with toast.
- 3 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 large yellow onion, peeled and chopped
- 1 1/4 lb (600g) plum tomatoes, peeled and chopped or 1 14 oz can of diced tomatoes
- 6 eggs
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
1 Heat olive oil on medium heat in a nonstick skillet. Add the onions and cook until translucent, just starting to turn golden in color, about 6 minutes. Add the tomatoes and cook over low heat until the liquid evaporates, about 40 minutes.
2 Whisk the eggs in a bowl until well blended. Season with a little salt and pepper. Add the eggs to the tomato and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, and scraping from the bottom with a wooden spoon. Remove from heat as soon as the eggs begin to set, but are still moist, about 3 minutes. Turn out onto a serving plate. Serve immediately.

Billy's Greatest Lesson for DR Pros - Gratitude Is Job No. 11 Jul, 2009 By: Thomas Haire Response
"Thank you so much for the article you wrote on me. I cannot tell you how much it helped my career."
Whether a scheduled get-together, a momentary handshake at a cocktail party or a phone call, not one meeting I had with Billy Mays between the publication of a December 2001 feature I wrote in these pages (on the Orange Glo business and Mays' role in its success) and his untimely death on June 28 passed without him offering me some variation on those words.
In the day-and-a-half since I learned of Billy's passing, it's become clear that the simple kindness he extended to me in each conversation we had was not some exception, but rather the norm. In soliciting and fielding thoughts from many of the leaders of the DRTV business, the words that keep coming up about him include: love, care, positive, kind, genuine, engaging, family man.
Yes, Billy's outsized personality — the booming voice, the black beard, the blue shirts — was his big draw as one of the most successful television pitchmen in history. However, as he liked to say, Billy never took on the task of promoting a product he didn't believe in. That belief shone through in each and every DRTV ad Billy filmed. So, no matter how loud the pronouncement — "Hi! Billy Mays here!" — for a product, in the end, the viewers at home knew they could trust Billy's word on that item.
When Billy would thank me for the story, I'd always make certain to thank him in return. I can truly say that the 2001 story was the beginning of the magazine that Response has become during my eight years as editor. My interview with Billy came before I'd spent nine months on this job, and I'm not afraid to say that, at the time, Response was a very insular publication — of, by and for the agencies, vendors and service providers of the DR world.
With the publication of our feature on Billy and the Appel family behind Orange Glo, we found, for the first time, that we could step away from featuring the heads of fulfillment companies, media agencies and teleservices providers on the cover — and the political nightmares inherent in featuring the same people who are counted on as advertisers — and talk about celebrity pitchmen and marketers, expanding the magazine's scope without fear of advertiser backlash.
By the end of 2002, Response had transitioned to featuring celebrities and pitchmen on the cover, talking about the products they endorsed. By late 2004, we'd switched our cover strategy to the marketers who bring successful DR products to consumers. Without the example of the Billy Mays/Orange Glo cover, this transition would have been a much tougher task. Now, instead of an insular publication, Response is a wide-ranging magazine that seeks to draw any and all marketers into the DR space.
For that, Billy, one final thank you. We didn't help make you nearly as much as you helped make us.
Thomas Haire, Editor-in-Chief

Athens-Clarke police are seeking the public's help in finding a motorist who took off after seriously injuring a bicyclist Tuesday evening on Newton Bridge Road.
Travis Hagner, 24, was biking with a friend near Paradise Boulevard about 6 p.m. when he was hit by a car and dragged about 90 feet after he rolled off the hood and got snagged, said Senior Police Officer Kenneth Brown, the police department's hit-and-run investigator.
Two bystanders saw the collision described the car, but apparently got the tag number wrong, Brown said.
Hagner, a University of Georgia grad who is recovering at his parents' home in Marietta, said he doesn't remember the crash. The last he recalls is starting out on a bike ride with a friend from his home on Pearl Street, off Martin Luther King Jr. Parkway, Hagner said.
"The next thing I remember is waking up on the ground, with my friend not letting me get up. Then, there were all these sirens, and then I was in the hospital," he said. "It's all bits and pieces."
The witnesses described the car as a dark-colored, older-model - a box-shaped, two-door sedan, possibly a Buick. The driver was described as a heavy-set black man between 30 and 40 years old.
Anyone with information on the hit-and-run should call Brown at (706) 208-1718, extension 238.

Price of fine rice shoots up in Telangana
Fri, Sep 04, 2015, 05:49 PM
The price of fine rice has shot up in Telangana. With the traders colluding with mill owners, ordinary people have become victims, it is learnt. The produce has fallen due to drought in Kharif season. With this, the traders created artificial losses by storing fine rice in godowns. As a result, fine rice price is more in Hyderabad and in the districts. Consumers have expressed their anxiety over this.

Brooks Macdonald Funds has launched an asset-backed investment business, UK Farming.
Christine Tacon has been appointed as the chairman of UK Farming plc, which Brooks Macdonald Funds expects will qualify for business property relief.
The new business is targeting an initial fundraising of up to £20m.
Tacon says: "Farming is an industry attracting increasing interest and, though subject to many external market forces, one that with sound commercial management can prove a sustainable long-term investment."
The unquoted public limited company will target investment in existing arable farms, primarily for the production of cereal crops.
Tacon was previously the managing director of The Co-operative Farms Limited, from 2000 to December 2011, as well as being an executive board member of Co-operative Food Retail.
The minimum investment subscription is £10,000.

AMD A10-5800K & A8-5600K Review: Trinity on the Desktop, Part 2by Anand Lal Shimpi on October 2, 2012 1:45 AM EST
Video Transcoding Performance
x264 HD 3.03 Benchmark
Graysky's x264 HD test uses x264 to encode a 4Mbps 720p MPEG-2 source. The focus here is on quality rather than speed, thus the benchmark uses a 2-pass encode and reports the average frame rate in each pass.
CPU based video transcode performance is as good as it can get from AMD here given the 2/4 module/core setup of these Trinity APUs. Intel's Core i3 3220 is a bit slower than the A10-5800K. We're switching to a much newer version of the x264 HD benchmark for our new test suite (5.0.1). Some early results are below if you want to see how things change under the new test:
|x264 HD 5.0.1 Benchmark
|1st Pass
|2nd Pass
|AMD A10-5800K (3.8GHz)
|33.5 fps
|7.41 fps
|AMD A8-5600K (3.6GHz)
|32.2 fps
|7.12 fps
|Intel Core i3 3220 (3.3GHz)
|35.2 fps
|6.61 fps

CeriseCogburn - Tuesday, October 09, 2012 - linkYep, it's always the future, the next one, for the amd fanboy Reply
sean.crees - Wednesday, October 10, 2012 - linkI agree, the best case scenario for AMD is the A10-5700 with 65 watt TDP in a SFF ITX enclosure utilizing the integrated GPU. Reply
ac2 - Tuesday, October 02, 2012 - linkOops that last line should read "That puts a $50 saving towards..." not $70
- Pentium G850: $70 (HD2000 less Quicksync)
- Gigabyte GA-B75M-D3V: $70 (with PCIe 3.0 and USB 3.0 onboard)
Can easily upgrade to a more powerful GPU/ CPU down the line.. Reply
cyrusfox - Tuesday, October 02, 2012 - linkCorrection to your comment
The G850 will only support PCIe 2.0, you would need to wait for Ivy refresh of celeron/pentium.
If it was me and I was going cheap/Intel, I would just buy a Celeron G530 for $40, why bother with the G850, its just as handicapped with a little more CPU freq.
But trinity would be a whole lot more fun to play with then those chips even though it may be slower doing a lot of the same task. Some of us just enjoy overclocking while undervolting while rooting for the perpetual underdog. Reply
CaptainDoug - Tuesday, October 02, 2012 - linkThe G850 has Intel HD 2000 graphics. Big step up. Also as far as motherboard compatibility, if you go with a celeron, your choices for boards that are also compatible with i3, i5, i7 boards is slim pickin's. Going with a pentium gives you more advanced motherboard options. I agree that the G530 is a great CPU for cheap but it's just a little harder to upgrade to anything amazing. Trinity is quite interesting though. Would be great in a small desktop for the wife. Reply
wwwcd - Wednesday, October 03, 2012 - linkHD 2000 is a scrap ;) Reply
rarson - Wednesday, October 03, 2012 - linkHaving Intel graphics is not, in any way, a plus. Especially a turd like HD2000. Reply
delirious7 - Tuesday, October 02, 2012 - linkhow is the ivy bridge pentiums or celerons going to have pci express 3.0 when even the core i-3 processors don't? intel decided to omit pci express 3.0 from everything under an core i5.
the only thing besides a slightly better clock for clock that ivy gives you with the ivy bridge pentiums is memory support up to speeds of 1600 instead of 1333 like sandy bridge. Reply
delirious7 - Tuesday, October 02, 2012 - linkalso forgot to mention that one ivy bridge pentium has been out for a while now. the G2120. it is retailing for $100 on newegg. Reply

Shaking Johnathan Loyd's confident exterior is something that Bishop Gorman basketball coach Grant Rice hasn't seen anyone do with ease.
Along with leading the Gaels to back-to-back large-school state titles, the senior point guard simply has earned a reputation as a winner.
He's won 103 games in four seasons of varsity ball, averaging 14 points and 8.2 assists per game while earning the state's Gatorade Player of the Year honor as a senior.
Now, during every minute he spends within the school's confines, someone's asking Loyd where he'll be next year.
Teachers, classmates, everyone.
Meanwhile, Rice has welcomed numerous college coaches into his office and fielded a seemingly endless stream of phone calls and e-mails.
The 5-foot-8 speedy playmaker is one of the nation's most sought-after unsigned seniors.
"It's not bad," he said. "I don't mind people saying I'm a sleeper. I see myself as being as good as anybody else ... just shorter."
For Loyd, just being a self-proclaimed people-pleaser has become increasingly difficult by the day over the last month or so.
Lightly recruited by some of the bigger-name programs in college hoops for much of his prep career, an avalanche of offers changed everything this spring.
And now he can see the light at the end of it all.
"Hectic," he quickly said when asked to describe life of late.
The timeline of events that typically transpire over the course of several months for most Division-I recruits has played out in a matter of weeks for Loyd.
Heading into last week, Loyd was on the verge of making a final decision, set to pick between Northwestern and George Washington.
He'd essentially said "Thanks, but no thanks" to the likes of Oklahoma, Washington State, Michigan State and Florida in the process.
But the two scholarship offers he'd waited for since his freshman year of high school — Oregon and UNLV — didn't come until the 11th hour.
Sunday night, to be exact.
That night pretty much changed everything.
"To have both of them offer me scholarships the same day was just crazy," he said.
For UNLV, he'd long been considered the coaching staff's back-up plan should things fall through with Findlay Prep senior Cory Joseph — a McDonald's All-American who committed to Texas last Friday. Lon Kruger and his staff had been honest all along about it with Loyd, and with Matt Shaw's departure from the program becoming official Tuesday, a scholarship came open.
"It was kind of surprising, because I was hearing all of this talk that they didn't have any scholarships and they were going after a wing and I got the call," Loyd said of UNLV's call on Sunday. "I was just surprised and blessed."
On the Oregon end, long-time coach Ernie Kent spent his final season in Eugene knowing that without an astonishing result, he was more than likely on the way out. The Ducks were a sub-par 16-16 this season, and Kent was relieved of his duties shortly thereafter. Therefore, heavy recruiting was on the back-burner for much of the season for Kent and his staff.
UNLV always has had Loyd's attention, obviously, thanks to the hometown connection. His father, Michael, having played there from 1978-81, and Johnathan's also made a habit of attending open-gym sessions on campus with the team during the off-season.
"They've got young players, for one," he said, talking about the Rebels' positives. "They did good last year and have everyone coming back. And they do a lot of pressuring. That fits my style. They do a lot of running and want more playmakers, so I feel like I could bring that to them."
As for Oregon, the two guys who attracted him to potentially playing there some day are, coincidentally, the two who had a big part in ending UNLV's most successful season under Kruger.
He's long seen himself playing the same role in Eugene as former Ducks guards TaJuan Porter and Aaron Brooks — a pair of sub-6-footers who each could take over a game in an instant.
Porter's hot shooting hand helped bury UNLV in the 2007 Sweet Sixteen, while Brooks now starts for the NBA's Houston Rockets.
"They've always liked small guards, and they're not afraid to play them," Loyd said. "They're in a good conference, and I like their new coach. He was at Creighton, and I always liked him."
That coach — Dana Altman — brings the biggest twist into this rushed recruiting tale.
Altman served as an assistant under Kruger at Kansas State from 1986-89 and extended an offer to Loyd while preparing for his 17th season at Creighton.
As hard as he tried to lure Loyd to Omaha, the interest in the program never was terribly high, though Loyd admits he'd definitely taken a liking to Altman.
Last weekend, Altman landed the gig at Oregon, and one of the first prospects he called was Loyd, who will use his final official visit to head up to see the campus this weekend.
Loyd said he will sit down with the UNLV coaching staff before heading to Eugene for the weekend, then likely come to a final decision early next week after sitting down again with his parents.
At the moment, he said, there's no true leader among his prospective schools.
"The way his recruitment has gone, it's wild," Gorman coach Grant Rice said. "I feel bad. He's shaken up because everything's happened so fast, and it's really strange."
At UNLV, he'd have a chance at playing the "hometown hero" role, which close friend and Mojave High product Anthony Marshall flourished in this season as a freshman. Loyd could play every home game in front of his family and friends and most likely see immediate playing time.
At Oregon, with Porter's graduation plus an avalanche of transfers following Kent's departure, there's the potential to start right away.
Either way, he's in a position where he can't make a wrong choice.
"People want a decision, but I'm just taking my time with everything," he said. "It's better to have (the tough decision to make) than not to, of course."
