Shulgi (also formerly read as Dungi) of Ur was the second king of the "Sumerian Renaissance". He reigned for 48 years, dated to 2029 BCE–1982 BCE (short chronology). He completed construction of the Great Ziggurat of Ur.
Both the readings "Shulgi" and "Dungi" were known before the turn of the 20th century, but over the course of that century, the scholarly consensus gravitated away from "Dungi" and toward "Shulgi" as being the correct pronunciation.
Life and work[edit]
Shulgi was the son of Ur-Nammu king of Ur – according to one later text (CM 48), by a daughter of the former king Utu-hengal of Uruk – and was a member of the Third dynasty of Ur. Year-names are known for all 48 years of his reign, providing a fairly complete contemporary view of the highlights of his career.[1]
Shortly after his father's death, Shulgi engaged in a series of punitive wars against the Gutians to avenge his father.[citation needed] The only activity recorded in the year-names for his first few years involved temple construction.
Shulgi is best known for his extensive revision of the scribal school's curriculum. Although it is unclear how much he actually wrote, there are numerous praise poems written by and directed towards this ruler. He proclaimed himself a god in his 23rd regnal year.[2]
Some early chronicles castigate Shulgi for his impiety: the Weidner Chronicle (ABC 19) states that "he did not perform his rites to the letter, he defiled his purification rituals". CM 48 charges him with improper tampering with the rites, composing "untruthful stelae, insolent writings" on them. The Chronicle of Early Kings (ABC 20) accuses him of "criminal tendencies, and the property of Esagila and Babylon he took away as booty."
While Der had been one of the cities whose temple affairs Shulgi had directed in the first part of his reign, in his 20th year he claimed that the gods had decided that it now be destroyed, apparently as some punishment. The inscriptions state that he "put its field accounts in order" with the pick-axe. Following this, Shulgi engaged in a period of expansionism at the expense of highlanders such as the Lullubi, and others. In his 30th year, his daughter was married to the governor of Anshan; in his 34th year, he was already levying a punitive campaign against the place. Ultimately, Shulgi was never able to rule any of these distant peoples; at one point, in his 37th year, he was obliged to build a large wall, in an attempt to keep them out.[3]
In addition to construction of defensive walls and completion of the Great Ziggurat of Ur, Shulgi spent a great deal of time and resources in expanding, maintaining, and generally improving roads. He built rest-houses along roads, so that travelers could find a place to rest and drink fresh water or spend a night. For this last feat, Samuel Noah Kramer calls him the builder of the first inn.
Shulgi also boasted about his ability to maintain high speeds while running long distances. He claimed in his 7th regnal year to have run from Nippur to Ur, a distance of not less than 100 miles.[3] Kramer refers to Shulgi as "The first long distance running champion."[4]

SEATTLE -- Your next flight from Sea-Tac may get you across the country thanks to used cooking oil.
Alaska Airlines will fly start flying 75 commercial passenger flights in the United States powered by biofuel, starting this Wednesday, November 9. Alaska Airlines, along with its sister carrier Horizon Air, will operate select flights from Seattle to Portland, Ore., and Washington D.C., using a 20% blend of sustainable biofuel made from used cooking
oil. Many of the airplanes used are Boeing 737S.
Biofuel testing has been happening over the past three years. The airline industry is shifting into a new gear, starting to conduct regular commercial flights that rely in part on biofuels because it is more economical and better for the environment. The use of bio-fuel also insulates airlines from the volatile world energy market, because it is produced in the U.S. The new fuel will not affect passenger ticket prices.
"I've been in the environmental industry for a while and it's kind of nice to see it finally occurring," said Lynn Bruner, Alaska Airlines passenger.
Bruner says the new fuel will sway her decision on which airline she will decide to buy her ticket. Others are more skeptical.
"If it saves us money I would care," said Josh Kowalkoski. "If it is less reliable, then I would care too."
Alaska Air Group estimates the 20 percent certified biofuel blend it is using for the 75 flights will reduce greenhouse gas emissions by an estimated 10 percent, or 134 metric tons, the equivalent of taking 26 cars off the road for a year.

RLIF announce latest World Rankings
The team dates back to 1907, making them the third eldest national side after England and New Zealand. And it was a touring New Zealand side that Wales first played against in 1908, winning 9-8 at Aberdare. Since then Wales have regularly played England, since 1935 France, as well as welcomed the touring Australia and New Zealand teams. Although they rarely toured themselves, not playing a match in the Southern Hemisphere until 1975. For twenty-six years Wales competed against their two biggest rivals, England and France, in the European Nations Cup, winning the trophy four times. They have also competed in the World Cup on three occasions, the first time being in 1975. In 1995 and 2000 they had their most successful tournaments to date, surprisingly making the Semi-Finals on both occasions before being beaten by England and Australia respectively.

This extraordinary little town of 5,000 is both vibrant and relaxing, an undiscovered treasure and a world heritage site. Host a party or just relax on the patio of our large, private, walled garden, sample grapes from the organic vineyard, or pick apples, cherries, pears, plums, peaches and strawberries to your heart's delight.

Anthony: 'Assignment football this week'
CLEMSON — 10 months ago, Kevin Steele coached his final game as Clemson's defensive coordinator, largely because he couldn't stop mobile quarterbacks, spread offenses or the option.
Enter Brent Venables, hired away from Oklahoma and given an $800,000 annual salary to do exactly that.
Five games into his Clemson tenure, Venables' system is a work in progress. The Tigers rank 87th nationally in total defense and 65th in scoring defense, having allowed 80 points over their last two games.
They'll receive a major test Saturday against Georgia Tech's flexbone option – which has given Clemson major problems since Paul Johnson arrived in Atlanta in 2008. The Tigers are 1-4 against Johnson, with the only win a 27-13 decision here two years ago. We'll find out plenty about how disciplined and patient Venables' players are against a grind-it-out foe.
Here are five things I'll be watching when the Tigers and Yellow Jackets clash:
1. Can Clemson stop the option?: The flexbone has been a major thorn in the Tigers' side over the past four years. A year ago, Georgia Tech rushed for 383 yards in a 31-17 win that spoiled Clemson's undefeated season, keeping the ball for 39 minutes. It is kryptonite to Chad Morris' spread system, largely because it keeps it on the sidelines. It can also lull defenses to sleep, banging out three and four-yard gains consistently before the big mistake allows a 75-yard, momentum-changing touchdown run. A Clemson defense which has had issues with consistency and discipline will be severely tested.
2. Is Garry Peters an answer at cornerback: Last week, Peters replaced ineffective Darius Robinson and made a splash, garnering his first career interception and generally playing effectively against a pass-happy Boston College attack. This will be a very different challenge against a team which passes only occasionally, but is effective when it does so. Peters will have to stay on his toes; if he makes a mistake, it'll be hard to cover.
3. Can Clemson keep the ball: Morris' offense has achieved the balance it wants, passing for 311 yards per game while rushing for 200. It stumbled at Florida State only when it hit a stretch of four three-and-outs (and a fumble) in a five-series span. Staying on the field and keeping the ball is crucial against the Tech flexbone, because when you give the Jackets the ball, you never know when you're going to get it back. Case in point: Trailing 31-17, Clemson got the ball at the Tech 10 early in the fourth quarter a year ago. On the very next play, Tajh Boyd threw an interception following a miscommunication with Sammy Watkins. The Jackets ground out the next nine minutes, killing any hopes of a comeback. Turnovers are never good, but against the flexbone, they're especially poisonous.
4. Can anyone stop anyone?: Tech has allowed 91 points over its last two games. Clemson has yielded 80. The Tigers' foes – Florida State and Boston College – were superior to the Jackets' opponents in Miami and Middle Tennessee State - but taking the over might be smart. Three years ago, these teams engaged in a 39-34 ACC title-game shootout that featured no punts. It wouldn't be surprising if a similar scene unfolded Saturday.
5. Can a backup tailback emerge?: Senior Andre Ellington has been excellent – and healthy – but there is little depth behind him. Boyd is the team's No.2 rusher, with 161 yards; no other Clemson tailback has 100 yards through five games. Sophomore D.J. Howard will miss this week with a shoulder injury, meaning junior Rod McDowell will receive more playing time. In a game where possession is crucial, he could be counted upon for a larger-than-normal role.

The local buzz: Beekeepers across North of Boston swarm to open hives for the season
By Emily Young , Staff Writer
No one knows the U.S. Postal Service's true level of dedicated diligence like a beekeeper.
Last week, beekeepers all over Massachusetts and New Hampshire received three-pound packages of bees in the mail - typically one queen bee and approximately 12,000 drones and worker bees - from southern states like Georgia, Alabama and Texas in preparation for the start of beekeeping season.
"Once the bees are shipped, they get to you very efficiently," Gloucester beekeeper Hank McCarl, 66, said with a chuckle. "I have three packages of bees coming up from Georgia. I know I'll get a call as soon as they arrive at the post office to come pick them up. They are very happy to get the bees out of there right away."
And while the chilly temps and strong wind weren't ideal, last Saturday, beekeepers like Newbury resident Barbara Milhender successfully installed new bee colonies into backyard hives all across the region.
"Beekeeping is very addicting - and meditative. You have to be very still in mind and still in body," said Milhender, 57. "If you don't get into that mindset, you'll get stung. But if you're in tune with them, it's really fun to watch them do their respective jobs."
Essex County has long been a hotbed for beekeeping. Rev. Lorenzo Lorraine Langstroth, who invented the first transportable beehive in the country in the early 1850s, was a pastor at the South Congregational Church in Andover at one point during his career.
Contemporary beekeepers, like Andover's David Meldrum, keep just one or two hives on their property. Others, like Hamilton resident Gretel Clark, will maintain as many as 30 hives in various locations around the county.
Beekeeping hobbyists are drawn to the potentially painful activity for a variety of reasons. Danvers resident Frank Herschede, 69, started keeping bees in 1995 to help pollinate his dwindling garden. West Newbury resident Jane Wild, 57, started keeping bees in 1991 to produce her own organic honey for cooking. And Middleton resident Alan Wilkins, 59, started keeping bees in 1987 to further his collection of animals, which include rabbits, swans and Hawaiian geese.
"I was interested in it from a scientific standpoint," said McCarl, who became a beekeeper five years ago. "I grew up as kid interested in anything that had to do with nature, whether it was insects, butterflies or snakes. And then I had children who were interested in those things, too. It's fascinating what a positive impact they have on an area. They're very helpful to people and crops and flowers and fruit trees."
Essex resident Gil Guerin, 78, started keeping bees more than three years ago, when his daughter's concern for the dwindling bee population spread to his backyard.
Several known entities have pummeled the U.S. bee population since the 1980s, including hive beetles and varroa mites. But since Guerin got into the beekeeping business, the population crisis has gotten worse instead of better.
Over the last six months, beekeepers are finding that bees are uncharacteristically abandoning their hives because of an unexplained phenomenon that's being called Colony Collapse Disorder.
From November to February, commercial beekeepers - who maintain up to 2 million of the country's 2.4 million bee colonies - from 26 states reported they had lost between 30 and 90 percent of their colonies, according to a report released last month by researchers in Washington, D.C.
"The bees in strong hives are just disappearing," said Sample, 59. "They've hit the professionals first and researchers are trying to figure out why this is happening. They're looking at the colonies that have collapsed to come up with a common denominator. Were all the hives close to blueberry pollen or almond pollen, or were they all in one part of the country? And what are the keepers using for feed?"
So far, no one knows why this is happening, but potential results have the ability to decimate America's food supply. Roughly a third of the U.S. diet is pollinated by honey bees, making their approximate economic value $15 billion in the U.S., according to the report.
"We'd become very dependant on foreign food supply if the bee population disappears. It would be devastating," said Danvers beekeeper Larry Goldstein. "In my own little way, I'm helping the environment. The more people we get to do beekeeping on a hobbyist level, the more it will benefit nature and the environment."
Sample agreed that every hobbyist with just one hive in their backyard can make a difference.
"The more people you have dealing with bees, the better off you are," Sample said. "The (wild) feral colony population these days have basically all died off. The hobbyist beekeepers are keeping the bees in Eastern Massachusetts."
Guerin is willing to do his part. And just like every other beekeeper in Massachusetts, he's quickly learned to enjoyed one specific by-product of his hives: raw honey.
"It does, it tastes better than store-bought. Actually, it depends on the flowers they feed on. In the spring, the honey is lighter in color and less strong flavor. It's not as strong as later in the summer. Some people like it lighter, and some prefer it with the strong, heavy flavor," Guerin said. "I got 50 pounds out of one hive last year. I gave away a lot of Christmas gifts, birthday gifts, friendship gifts. I donated 20 bottles to my church fair. It's a lot of honey," Guerin said.
Ethnic diversity
There are at least a dozen different varieties of honey bees, primarily named after their land of origin. And beekeepers do have strong allegiance to one variety or another; for example, Milhender has always kept Italian bees because they tend to be nonaggressive and hardworking.
"There are Italians, Caucasians, Russians," said Rowley beekeeper Abby Hiem, 48. "The varieties tend to have traits, like dogs. Some people like certain types of bees because of their heartiness, cleanliness, temperament."
Rent a bee
Commercial beekeepers typically rent out roughly 2 million bee colonies for widespread pollination of fruits and vegetables each year.
"If you look at cranberries in New England, most of the (farm owners) hire bees from commercial beekeepers for pollination," Groveland beekeeper Stan Sample said. "Blueberry harvesters also rent hives for pollination. If you go to New York state, where they're doing a lot of squash and cucumber, they hire bees for pollination. You get a better fruit set."
Rental fees vary from crop to crop, but are going up across the boards. Californian almond growers paid roughly $35 per colony in the late 1990s, a figure which jumped to approximately $75 per colony in 2005. And even more recent figures estimate that almond tree pollination fees have risen to $150 per colony.
Why? Supply and demand. Fewer honey bees are available for pollination while California's 550,000 acres of almond trees is expanding, according to a March 2007 report on the recent decline of honey bee colonies by the Congressional Research Service.
Types of beekeepers
You own one to nine hives
You don't depend on bees for your livelihood, but it is a source of income. Hamilton beekeeper Gretel Clark, who's been keeping bees for 25 years and has 30 hives, considers herself a sideliner because she sells her honey by the bottle or the bucket. Anyone with between roughly 30 and 80 hives could be in this category.
You're a professional beekeeper who depends on your bees to earn a living. Some have thousands of hives and travel the country to pollinate various farms and orchards. Some have hundreds of hives and only travel to a few surrounding states.

Suit up
Getting stung is an unfortunate part of the bee business, as Danvers beekeeper Frank Herschede knows all too well. Early in his dozen years of beekeeping, 20 bees got inside his veil and stung all around his left eye.
"They were mad. I still have a puffy eyelid today," Herschede said. "But you learn how to handle them with experience, and I don't have any problems today."
Herschede, who maintains six hives, said there are ways to protect yourself from getting stung, as well as reducing the pain. Here are a few tips from Herschede and several other experts.
* Wear protective gear from head to toe. This includes a veil over your head and long, heavy gloves. Tuck your pant cuffs into your socks because the bees can - and will - get inside your clothing through the smallest of gaps.
* Do not eat bananas before heading out to the hive, as the odor will alarm and enrage the bees. Likewise, don't wear perfume, scented body lotion of use scented soap - particularly anything floral - before working with the bees.
* If you get stung, pop out the stinger with your thumbnail and treat the spot with an antihistamine, ice and meat tenderizer.
The ins and outs of beekeeping
Queen bees in colonies all across New England have already been busy laying eggs to built up their hive's population since February. To do this, the queen - marked with a gold circle on her back - lays as many as 30,000 eggs a day. However, beekeeping season for humans starts in mid-April and ends at the onset of winter.
At the beginning of May, an overcrowded hive that made it through the winter - or one with a lazy queen - has the potential to split in half, leaving disgruntled bees to look for a new hive and a new queen. Beekeepers need to stay on the lookout for this phenomenon, called swarming, so they can start a second hive on their property.
The Langstroth hive, still the standard today, is a wooden box that you open and close from the top. Inside, you'll find 10 wooden frames surrounding wire screens where the bees do their work. The hive's height will vary, depending on how many honey-collecting boxes, known as supers, are stacked up.
Inside, a healthy colony occupying one hive can be as big as 60,000 bees. Roughly 90 percent are female worker bees who complete different duties, assigned based on their age and the job's difficulty - like cleaning and guarding the hive, collecting pollen, nursing other bees. The few male bees, known as drones, have only one duty: mate with the queen. Their social status is low on the totem pole - if there's not enough food to keep everyone in the hive going through the winter, the worker bees will drag the drones out of the hive and drop them in the snow to die.
Beekeepers usually hit the honey pot once in the summer and once in the fall, gathering as much as 60 to 80 pounds of honey a hive a season. To do so, they take out individual frames covered in honey that's capped by wax. They remove the wax with a scratching tool that resembled a hair pick. They insert the frames into a barrel-like machine called an extractor that literally spins the frames at a high speed to throw the honey to the sides of the barrel and drain into a bucket. The honey is then strained and ready to eat.
The bees start preparing for winter in August, storing up honey to last through the cold months. To help the process, Andover beekeeper David Meldrum wraps his hives with tar paper to keep the bees warm through the snowy months. A healthy hive can last from season to season, but some don't make it through the cold winter or fall prey to killer mites.
A queen bee can live for three to five years, drones might make it a year or two, while worker bees will live just three to five months. But not all colonies survive from year to year. Last year, Gloucester beekeeper Hank McCarl lost six hives during February's frigid weather. He said emotionally, this was the most difficult aspect of beekeeping.
"I get very attached to my bees," McCarl said. "It's heartbreaking to see them not make it through the winter, all gathered together trying to keep warm, but all dead. You'll find 100 bees with their head stuck in the comb trying to get food. It's just sad."
Bottom line
It'll cost you between $200 and $400 to get one colony up and running. You'll need:
* Bee hive, a wooden box that comes in a variety of grades and qualities.
* Protective gear.
* Tools, like a steel smoker, frame lifter and scraper, steel hive tool and a bee brush.
* Bees, which you can order from a Southern provider by mail or from a local business like Crystal Bee Supply in Peabody. Three pounds of bees, which are typically how much you want to buy for one hive, costs between $67 and $99.
* Beekeeping knowledge. The Essex County Beekeepers' Association, www.essexcountybeekeepers.org, runs a nine-week class every winter.

A little girl looked up at an old woman in the bathroom of a local church holding a bottle of soap not knowing how to get the cleanser out. The woman asked her a question in a language she didn't understand and proceeded to help her wash her hands. For the little girl, the moment was convenient and amusing, but for the woman, it was inspiration.
Children's author Dee Harris didn't speak Spanish and couldn't communicate with the girl, but as her books so often highlight, kindness is a language of its own and one that adults need to teach the next generation how to speak. Her stories come from her days as a child in Plant City where she grew up working in fields picking strawberries, but they have been updated to speak to a modern children's audience.
"There is such a need right now for children's books about things like kids being taunted, kids of all races and how they see homeless people," Harris said. "The books cover all that through tales from my childhood. I'm the kind of person who will have an idea and write it down and so when I remember things from my childhood, it'll be an inspiration for a book."
Harris' first book, "I am Not a Hippopotamus, I am a Little Girl" is a tale about a girl who is teased about her weight and receives some confidence boosting words from a homeless woman. The book was published by the Peppertree Press in June of 2011. It's the beginning of a series called Lyndee's Come With Me following a main character, Lyndee, a combination of the author's name and her stepdaughter's.
"I was teased as a little girl for my size," Harris said. "At the first signing I did for that book, more than 200 people showed up and I was shocked. It got great responses from kids and parents tell me the kids are always asking them to read the book to them. I think it's because there aren't enough books for kids anymore."
Her second book, "The Croaker Sack Bunny", was published in April of this year and tackles the economic difference between families through a simple story of a school play. Her third book is in the making and is intended to satisfy the length requirements of some readers.
"The Croaker Sack Bunny, is a tribute to my mother who once made me a costume out of croaker sack," Harris said. "The third book will be called The Magic Blue Bike and I want it to teach children to use their god given minds through imagination. I've had readers keep asking me to write a book with chapters so I'm going to do that."
The length won't be a challenge for Harris, who originally went into her writing career with the intention of publishing a novel, only to decide it wasn't for her. In the past, she had published poems and eulogies, but a calling towards children's literature was a natural thing for Harris despite not having any kids of her own.
"I've always loved children," Harris said. "You can't go around hugging children, but they still need to be shown kindness and I think that is something I want to show in my books. I've had adults read my books and say they remember going through that as a kid and they love the books because of the message."
The books are illustrated by Brandon artist Lisa Bohart who Harris met online. The two met for lunch and immediately hit it off, with Bohart able to grasp the imagery Harris wanted for the books right away.
Harris has done book signings from Fort Myers to Tampa and often donates her books to charities such as Goodwill Bookwork's and at community meetings for new mothers. Looking at everything as an opportunity to open her work up to those who can benefit from it, Harris is ever trying to send her message to new recipients.
"Nobody does book signings anymore and children still love to hold a book in their hands," Harris said. "Nannies write me letters and they love reading the books to the kids because the message is that kindness wins in any situation and friendship can't be measured. I really feel the children need that message today. It's working and I'm loving it. I don't expect to be famous and I don't need to be."
Harris now lives in Seminole Heights with her husband, Eric, a retired railroad engineer. Her books are on sale at Barnes & Noble, Amazon.com and PeppertreePublishing.com. The books cost around $12.95. For a signed copy, e-mail Harris at email@example.com.

The Bottom Line

- Color inkjet photo printer

Guide Review - Canon Pixma iP3600 Color Photo Printer
In terms of printing, there's absolutely nothing to complain about, except perhaps warm-up time, which seems to run about 45 seconds or so. But once it's warmed up, there's no problem with speed. PDFs came out in an average of 20 seconds per page; color graphics, from a PowerPoint presentation, took slightly more per page. And a 4x6 color photo came out in 1:19. For a small and cheap printer, these are all perfectly acceptable times.
In terms of quality, the iP3600 does a great job. The color graphics pages weren't oversaturated, as I've seen with some inkjet printers, even when using cheap copy paper. Viewed under a magnifying glass, 72-point type was sharp with no bleed, as good as I've seen with much more expensive printers.
Since it's a photo printer, the real proof was in the colorful photo printed at regular resolution on Canon's Photo Paper Plus Glossy II 4x6 paper (there's a sample pack included with the printer). As always, the photo came out dry to the touch. The colors were remarkably rich and the image sharp as a razor.
If there are any weak points to the iP series, it's that they're rather large for photo printers. They look as though they're going to be flatbed printers with scanners, but that's not the case. That's why I gave this printer only 4 stars; if it were a bit more compact or had duplex printing, it would've rated higher.

Derrick for Port Arthur asks: Officer Antoine, I received a ticket from you a couple of years ago. I must admit, you were not mean or rude at all. What I don't understand is that I didn't know what the speed limit was where you stopped me, because I was new to the area. I was apologetic several times and told you I was sorry. If I didn't mean to do it, how can you still write the ticket?
Answer: Good question, Derrick. Getting straight to the point, I still wrote the ticket because you committed the crime of speeding. Many people don't understand that the Texas transportation code is not dependent on culpable mental states. Culpable mental states are for murder, stealing, assault and others crimes where we must prove you either intentionally, knowingly, recklessly, or with criminal negligence committed a crime. If someone hit you in the eye, we must find out the culpable mental state and determine if they intended to hit you in your eye or if it was done accidentally. If it was done accidentally, it's nothing the police can do for you but direct you to a civil court where you could sue for pain and suffering, or medical expenses. The transportation code is different. We don't have to determine whether you knew you were speeding or not, all we must prove is that you did what the officer is accusing you of. Remember you are in control of the vehicle, and it's your responsibility to make yourself aware of all traffic signs — especially if you are in a new area.
Millie from Port Neches asks: Officer Antoine, I was traveling south on Twin City to 39th street. I pulled over for the left turning lane, and the light would not turn green. I was first in line. I waited after the light cycled four times without my turning light changing to green. There were several cars behind me blowing their horns, so I waited until the coast was very clear and turned left on the red light. What was the right thing to do?
Answer: Great question, Millie. I'm sorry you got put between what seemed to be a rock and a hard place. One thing I've noticed is that Texas drivers aren't very patient. Well, Millie, I must inform you that you committed a CRIME by running a red light. We have all been at a traffic signal and it changes for everybody but us. The transportation code doesn't give drivers the right to disregard a traffic signal, even one that's not changing green. Ask yourself, if you noticed a light that has been green for a long time without turning red, will you stop at the green light because it should have turned red by now? No, you wouldn't. The ONLY PERSON who can give you permission to go through a red light is a POLICE OFFICER — no one else! Millie, you should have waited at the light or put your signal on, and when it was clear/safe moved into the inside lane next lane and went straight when the light was green. I know it's nerve racking, but don't allow anyone to intimidate you to do something you are not certain about or that may be illegal. They had to see the light was malfunctioning. Remember, Millie, when they get tired of blowing, they could always easily go around.

WHAT A LAKE!!! My family and I loved this place. The cottage is clean, neat, and includes all the amenities you need. The lake is PERFECT. The water is so clean and clear! My son and I rowed the boat to the island a couple times. We saw a bald eagle, heard the Loon calls and enjoyed several camp fires. My 1 1/2 year old daughter loved the sandy beach and the water the entire week! She is our little beach bum! My 5 year old son loved looking for fish with a flashlight at the end of the dock just after sunset. Mostly minnows but saw a big bass and a bluegill! My wife and I enjoyed sitting at the end of the dock and watching the boats go by. Thank you so much for sharing your home!
We had such an amazon time up at The lake. We had 4 couples and a senior with us and it was a great fit for all of us. The kayaks got a lot of use, as the lake is so peaceful and quiet and easy to take a turn around the whole lake. The lake itself was so clear and clean! Can see to the bottom 20 feet or more. We also rented the pontoon, had a small issue that was handled by Jeff within the hour. We had a ton of fun on the lake and were often the only ones out so we had it to ourselves. Jeff was great and always easy to get ahold of prior to arrival for questions. The house was roomy, comfortable and the table easily fit our big group. Though we spent most of our time out on the porch eating. There is a huge firepit too that we used each night we were there before calling it a day. The house is in a well shaded area and so the house stayed cool all day and night though the temp got over 80. The mosquitoes weren't nearly as bad as we expected either! Just an over all great experience! Will definitely look forward to going back!
Thank you for a wonderful experience at your lake home. This house was spotless and the lake is clean and clear. We had excellent fishing, catching a wide variety of fish. The pontoon rental made exploring the lake a breeze, but the lake is small enough that you could easily get around with the kayaks and row boat too! The home is well appointed with anything you need to cook up a meal, play a game, or relax at the fire pit. The overall set up here is awesome! The owners were extremely helpful and communication was excellent. We definitely recommend this property highly! Thank you again for sharing your wonderful vacation home.

Applications to run more white-space Local TV stations invited
Good News
I'm actually really glad that there is another run at this. I worked for a while at NorthantsTV, am NTL hosted local cable station, and we managed to get an RSL for Northamptonshire based on our output over cable, OFCOM gave us some good support.
Yes, what we put out was utter shite when you look at Sherlock or Doctor Who, but the difference was what we put out was local. People tuned in to see themselves or their friends on telly. Why do you think X-Factor and stuff like that are popular? "Ooh, might see my friend on Telly tonight"! It gets an audience!
NorthantsTV went down due to the fact that TV takes a HAUGE amount of money, and to provide a local news service cost a fortune, even with one camera ENG shoots. You can't have the news sponsored (under OFCOM rules, only the weather) so the news teams have to be paid from the general airtime budgets. You are restricted to the amount of adverts you can bumper around the news in any one hour, so that became a big drain.
I hope this time around, OFCOM will be more lenient on the amount of advertising time, or what can be sponsored, because if not, the money hoover that is local TV is never going to work in a small market like the UK.
Mark Shuttleworth: Canonical leads Ubuntu, not 'your whims'
Ok, I'm putting on a suit of Armour here, but I bloody LOVE Xubuntu. It's a cracking tool of an OS, built on Deb, tweaked by Canon, and then tweaked again with XFCE.
I use it on my laptop every day when here in Gibraltar I have to go deal with issues. The XFCE interface is quick and tidy, and Can# have done some nice work under the bonnet. I can find what I need quickly, easily, and it works. It takes me less time, so I end up billing clients less. I can see more clients in a day so I've lost no profit.
On 2 sites now, I have Terminal Server delivering to XUbuntu Linux clients over rdesktop, and a third site using Mint. Xubuntu causes me less call outs.
I'm with Mark on this, I think the guy has a bloody good idea. Also, it's working for me as an engineer. I once wrote an article that got slashdotted, where I argued Linux needed a killer game to make it into the desktop. I was wrong. Linux ITX boards can so host happily RDesktop or Citrix sessions, that makes it viable in the offide. We have proved it in Gibraltar. The games, I'll leave that to Valve, they seem on the case.
For me, Linux on the desktop is here. It's what we run on it that will be interesting
Only way to stop the iPad: Flash-disk mutant SPEED FREAKS

My data is not there for any cloud host to trawl through at will, and INGREDIENTS can expand it when I need. Also, because I only need to store things I need when away from wifi (rare) I could buy a cheap tablet at 130⬠rather than spend a load on portable storage. I'll also not be crying if IT loose a device. Seems a win-win to me?

Reader input required: review our reviews
Phil W is pretty much correct...
I totally agree with Phil W, the proof reading has been piss poor recently, and some of the articles on my favorite Lesbian journal (Yes, I've been reading the Reg for some time!) have been really bad. It doesn't take me 2 minutes to read most articles, so why can't someone there proof a colleagues work? It would so improve the quality and add gravitas to the article it's self. Is the plan to become the "Guardian" of the digital age maybe? (In reference to the news paper "Guardian"'s often terrible proof, historically?)
Technical reviews are excellent and really appreciated, and Reg Hardware has often guided me in purchase decisions. Most of which I've found have lead me to making good purchases. I wonder though, if Hardware can do a technical breakdown, and then another section, "Lifestyle" for example could give us a real world, life with said device story? Both styles would be absolutely excellent.
For example, I'm using Rasberry PI's at the moment in work. I need to know the technical specs because in this case I'm using them as Nagios boxes. I'm also now using them at home to replace some full on desktops, for the lower power usage. So two totally different applications there. I'd like to see the tech review so I have some back ground before I order something, but I'd also like to see how they are as Day to Day devices.
Hope that helps a little and makes some sense?

Torvalds bellows: 'The GNOME PEOPLE are in TOTAL DENIAL'
I'm using Xubuntu, after Unity got right on my Tits. I tried Gnome3, but that wound me up as it actually slowed up my work flow too. KDE got irritating too, for being a bit of a resource hog, and I never went back to it. So, XFCE for me, for now.
This is the thing though. At least with Linux there is choice. Yes, there will be flame wars between different desktops, but I pick whats right for me at the time. With Linux I can do that. I'm not being forced into Notro, or Apples decisions. I can slap any desktop I pretty much like on my machine. I will try anything, if it makes my life easier. I use Mythbuntu on my tellybox. I like it, but gave UbuntuTV a shot, and that went right away because of the amount of png thumbnail images it shoved into my video library.
We have choices on Linux, which is great. We don't need flame wars. If you like something and it makes your life easier, use it. If you don't like it, sack it off and leave it. I'm seeing the same thing in UK politics as 'Conservatives' don't like the new 'Dave-Desktop' and are switching to UKIP.
Choice is great.

Driving a car? There's an app for that
Real World...
So, my sister used to borrow my car, and leave the bloody tank empty. I did the same when I used to use Dad's car before that TBH, but to the point.
Sister has called up the car and it's taken her and a bunch of mates into town. She's left it there and not filled it up. I decide to call it to come home from work, and it's driving to me and runs out of fuel. What then? I walk to the car with a 5ltr can of petrol/hydrogen/fuel of the week? Another car of a friend is selected (maybe a friend on Facebook) comes and rescues me, takes me to the petrol/hydrogen station to get the fuel then takes me to my car to recover it? Then both cars take me back to the station to refuel mine and put the used fuel back into the rescue car? Car drives it's self to the nearest fuel stop, and gets filled up by a meat sack, who charges then who? Me? My friends I 'share' my car with?
Fuel is becoming so expensive I feel this may become a bit of a sticking point, knowing human nature.

BBC gives itself a gold in 700Gbit-a-second Olympic vid sprint
I looked on with utter jealousy at the services the BBC provided in the UK over the Olympics. Here in Spain we have NO red button service whatsoever, and although TVE was the official Olympic broadcaster, basically we got very little. TVE-HD showed events, as did the SD channel TDP. However, rather than make the most of the space, often both channels showed the same thing. TVE1 ran highlights shows. It was piss poor, and I was insanely jealous of what the BBC offered.
I understand NBC in the USA showed it all delayed, so they could make the most of advertising, and cut out chunks of stuff as it wasn't relevent to the USA audience (in their minds).
For £6.38, you got complete coverage, on TV, on the Web, and on Radio. That to me seems a fair deal really, and from where I'm sitting I've have paid that nin a second for coverage like that. You could have probably got it for a bit less if you'd not paid for Trevor Nelson, Huw Edwards and that other one to natter inane comments over the opening ceremony though... I think well done BBC though.

Microsoft develops mood-matching ad engine
Re: Ads
Yeah, would use adblock etc but I do design some ads, so I can't really block them when testing, and I tend to open el Reg in same browser so I can flick tabs. I just don't design ads that are so bloody irritating though.
Perhaps this is part of MS's new policy, they are going to make their ads as annoying as their new desktop?
The mood Microsoft have me in at the moment is INCREDIBLY pissed off. If that HAUGE fuck off banner ad at the top of the Reg doesn't go very soon, I'm gonna stop visiting the site. I hate having to minimise an ad just to concentrate on the news I'm trying to read.

iPlayer repeat fees threaten BBC earthquake
Re: Hmm
Re-nationalise BT, and merge the two?!
My issue...
is that the dear Old Beeb (and I Love the Beeb) has in the past years decided quantity over quality. 3 & 4, Radios 5,6,7. What is the reasoning for these? To drive more digital uptake, or as I've heard before "The BBC must compete in a digital arena".
The BBC has GOT to loose it's focus on having a diverse channel line up. They should pare back to 3 TV channels (1,2,24) and limit the number of radio stations. Radio 7 (now 4+ I think) is just re-hashing old Radio 4 drama and comedy. BBC 3 turns out very little of quality (Snog, Marry, Avoid?). BBC4 turns out some EXCELLENT material (Holy Flying Circus?), but nothing that couldn't be on BBC2 as it used to be.
If the Corporation was trimmed right back with it's on air line up, and just remained committed to delivering World beating quality television, everything else it generated could be made available on demand, with a PayG structure. Shows like Sherlock and Doctor Who for example are hugely impressive productions. They should be on broadcast TV, as to advertise the BBC production quality. Snog, Marry, Avoid could quite happily be on YouTube or iPlayer and available as a Pay on Demand (although I think it would soon prove unprofitable). Repeats of Sherlock can be on demand on Kangaroo (or whatever it's called now) and you pay for each showing or buy permanent repeat rights. This is no different to what movie studios do now, but the BBC brand attracts attention because of the 'generally' very high quality.
So in summing up, trim the broadcast TV & Radio line up right back, and push the money into quality. Deliver library content on demand on line, and I think the Beeb will be with for another Hundred years. KBO, and I give it 20 at the best.
Microsoft wants super-sensitive finger strokes
Isn't this Microsofts standard model? Bloated code and wait for the hardware to catch up?
Wintel was a great little civil partnership, each drove the others business. However now Microsoft are also seeing other people, they (Microsoft) can't drive the show so much anymore. Their new Beaus have other things to consider like power draw etc. So Microsoft has to flirt again, not be the demanding Alpha partner.
I just don't see Ballmer or any of his team as the chocolates and flowers gang. I think they are more of the "Right, bend over..." mindset.
