The society is trying to raise money to put a roof on the outside kennels at the animal shelter so the dogs are protected from the elements while volunteers clean the inside kennels, as well as build a safe outside area for dogs to run and exercise, said Executive Director Shawna Longcor. The shelter could also use some stainless steel kennels for cats in the isolation area.
While the last few events have brought in about $2,000, it will take $30,000 to make the improvements at the shelter, she said.
The society just wants the best environment possible for the
The Fort Morgan Veterinary Clinic recently donated some used cat kennels for the shelter, but better ones would be helpful, she said.
The shelter averages about 10 to 12 stray animals a week, with highs up to 40 a week, Longcor said. It receives more animals in the summer than any other time.
The Fort Morgan shelter goes to great lengths to prevent having to kill animals and find adoptive homes.
At least one of the walkers in the event had adopted a dog at the Fort Morgan shelter. Audra Unrein of Brush adopted "Keisha," a five-year-old Husky mix that seemed to enjoy the cold as she walked with her owner.
Mario Garcia and Luke Eikenberg, 13, both of Wiggins, finished at the same time as the first men in the run part of the event, with a time of 21:24.
Allison Johnston of Fort Morgan finished in first place among women. She said she has won other races, and is a long-distance runner.
Eikenberg is a member of the Wiggins High School cross country team, and Garcia is its head coach.
Garcia said there were about 50 people either running or walking in the event.
National figures are hard to come by, since shelters do not uniformly
About 56 percent of dogs and 71 percent of cats were euthanized.
Only 15 percent of the animals were reunited with their owners.
It is estimated that 3.7 million animals were euthanized in 2008.
To donate to the Fort Morgan shelter, go to the office at 900 E. Railroad Ave. or send a donation to Fort Morgan Humane Society, 900 E. Railroad Ave., Fort Morgan, Colo. 80701.

D.C. Everest School District
The State of Wisconsin is among the leaders, nationally, in public education, and the D. C. Everest School District boasts continuously high test scores.In 2005-2006, D.C. Everest was the only school district in north central Wisconsin to surpass statewide averages in every standardized test category of the Wisconsin Knowledge and Concepts Examinations - given to students in grades three through eight and 10th graders. The safety and success of our students is priority number one from parents to schools; and the school board to local government.
D.C. Everest's prep school is among the finest in the State for academics and extra-curricular activities. D.C. Everest is a perennial powerhouse in State athletics. There are also tech training courses that prepare young people for careers in industry and business.
D.C. Everest was recently named a Gold Medal School District Winner by Expansion Management Magazine in its 16th annual Education Quotient ranking of 2, 819 public school districts nationwide. Expansion Management Magazine evaluates all school districts in the United States with an enrollment of 3,300 or more students. Gold Medal schools rank in the top 16% of districts evaluated with the EQ calculated on a weighted scale that measures three indices: Graduated Outcome (how well students learn and how many stay to graduation), Resource Index (which measures a community's financial commitment to education), and the Community Index (which measures the community's adult education an income levels).
The Village of Weston is home to the D.C. Everest High School, D.C. Everest Junior High, D.C. Everest Middle School, and the two district's largest elementary schools

Useful Links for Voice Recognition
As we have seen more and more applications and devices using voice recognition especially on Android and iOS and because I have been working with applications that use voice recognition I have put together some links that maybe useful for applications using voice recognition. I have used several of these for applications including the project glass inspired work.
µSpeech (muSpeech)
This library is for arduino and provides an interface for voice recognition using the Arduino, which does voice recognition in a way different from most high powered voice recognition methods. It calculates the complexity of the signal is determined by taking the absolute derivative of the signal multiplying it by a fixed point saclar and then dividing it by the absolute integral of the signal. This project is hosted on github so go take a look.
Dragon Naturally Speaking
Developed by Nuance this is one of the most advanced voice recognition offerings out there. The SDKs are available for client use or as a server side service.
Microsoft Speech API
Offered by microsoft and integrated into kinect for windows parts (tutorial here), it provides voice recognition of a word or phrase from a set list.
AT&T Watson Speech Recognition
This offering by AT&T provides full voice recognition from a cloud based offering but uses advanced category indication to help Watson identify what you are saying. ie you can tell it if the category is business and it refines it's recognition.
Part of one of the most successful apps on android, iOS and Playbook iSpeech provides a Text to Speech cloud service that is easy to use and integrate. They offer mobile SDKs to get you up and running quickly.
This recognition SDK performs continuous recognition giving you full voice trasncoding.
Provides speech recognition for 25 major languages.
Sphynx Voice Recognition
This is a good open source voice recognition solution.
Project Glass: Real Time Translation … inspired
I have created a new project glass inspired video which works on translating realtime conversations and displaying it as subtitles in your glasses. I can have a conversation with Elizabeth who speaks Spanish to me and I return with English. I have never learnt Spanish but using the glasses I can have a full conversation. To make this possible I used:
- 2x Raspberry Pi running debian squeeze
- Vuzix 1200 Star
- Jawbone Mic
- Headset Mic
- iPhone
- iPad
- Transformer
Follow after the break to find out how it was all put together. Continue reading "Project Glass: Real Time Translation … inspired" »
Project Glass: One Day … inspired
I really like the project glass by Google. To that extent I have created a version using a pair of Vuzix Glasses, Microsoft HD Webcams, mic headset and dragon naturally speaking. Using these combined pieces of hardware I was able to get the head mounted display and voice recognition. I built the application using Adobe Air. The application sports full voice recognition and has the same interface that Google project glass has. The Vuzix glasses are driven by stereoscopic feeds, which are fed by the HD cameras.
CEO Vision – Kinect + Augmented Reality + SAP HANA
I have been the lead developer on CEO Vision. It combines the Microsoft Kinect, Augmented Reality with the SAP HANA. Check out the website to see more about the technology (Click here to visit microsite)
This video stars Nic Doodson and myself. We demo the object recognition, face tracking and face recognition along with the Microsoft Kinect to allow users to literally reach out and touch their HANA powered reality.

NORTH ADAMS -- Calgary artists Jennifer Saleik and David John Foy pile it all out there for everyone to see, leaving multi-layered canvases that capture their two minds working as a singularity.
Saleik and Foy are part of "Oh, Canada," showing at Mass MoCA.
"The big piece in Mass MoCA, when we finally got it complete, we just stared at it forever," Saleik said. "I was so pleased at how awkward it looked. It was sort of this awkward teenager, not really sure of itself, and then Dave says, 'Ah, it's like a self-portrait.' Oh, yeah, that's totally how I see it."
The couple met eight years ago while finishing art school, and though they describe their styles as very different at the time, it was their compulsion to enter into the other's work that made it impossible for them to go their separate ways. Along the way, the styles have melded as they have created their own language with which to work.
"We definitely have learned from each other for sure; there's no way we couldn't. And then I think together we make one competent artist," Foy said.
As time went on, they began to put more into their work together -- literally on the canvas, its all their thoughts and efforts making the painting cluttered and piled and saying many things at once. Their paintings contain such a complex system of strokes that it can takes months to finish one -- "And the Voyager Returned" at Mass MoCA took more than a year to complete.
"Everything starts as a concept, but then, because we're painters in Alberta, we can't really deny the fact that we have a very formal background, have formal training," Saleik said. "I think there's always that fine line. I think Dave and I need to root ourselves in materials because that's how we communicate effectively."
Foy added, "We never have a completed concept at the very beginning. We have a loose idea of what we want to do and just have the paintings evolve through layers, so dissolve the narrative and all that stuff slowly gets added, and we don't really, necessarily know where it's going to go in the end. We have a basic idea."
This makes any given painting a journey with a mystery at the end, and the process wraps in anything and everything that might happen during the course of a day, and builds on these. The couple attempts to split duties so evenly that co-authorship with the appearance of singularity in conception and realization is at the center of their practice -- they want it to look like something that was made by one person.
They try to work on pieces at the same time as often as possible, which makes larger works more amenable to their process, but each has veto power on the other's concepts. One of them might think they have a great idea, but part of the process is convincing the other that it is so.
"More often than not, we just compliment each other's ideas and build on them and change them slightly," Foy said.
Both Saleik and Foy agree that one of the strengths of this type of partnership is that it is possible for one unit of the whole -- that is, one of them -- to function for both of them and keep the idea moving in the absence of another.
"You can leave a little while to go get a drink or something, and then you come back and the painting's actually changed somewhat significantly, so you get surprises," said Foy. "And then other times you can get stuck on something and then the other person can just come in with fresh eyes and finish it."
Saleik describes it as a free fall. If the process is one of discovery, and where the work ends is an unknown at the beginning of the process, then what each individual brings to it is a whole other level of unpredictable. They may work as one, but they each represent different sides of the painterly super-organism's psyche, and any given work is the result of that confluence.
Though the process allows for freedom, it also has some limitations at the end. It isn't so easy for either in the couple to just look at something, decide it didn't quite work out like they'd hoped and manipulate some brush strokes to correct the problem. The brush strokes are buried under layers of resin that bind every artistic decision or flourish to a form of eternity.
"We do a layer of paint and then we pour a layer of resin when we're happy with that layer," Foy said, "and then, in order to adhere the next layer of resin after, and the paint, we have to sand it to give it some tooth, and that frosts out everything from behind. So the further and further you get out, the less you can see of what you've done before. You're always working a little blind."
"Right until the end, you don't know what the finished product is going to be, but those surprises can be really great," Saleik said. "That's the free fall aspect of it. But sometimes you find yourself desperately trying to reign something in right at the end. It's a very interesting mind puzzle."
Because of the process they employ, the works represent not only the couple's prowess at painting, but their ability to create solutions. Any given piece is an example of the two of them positing their own problem and then working to bring it to a conclusion -- what's left is the result of that process, with the steps laid on top of each other for visitors in a gallery to ponder. Sometimes these solutions only come at the last moment. Sometimes they elongate the process far past the original perceived schedule, but they always eventually happen and that is at the center of the couple's artistic concerns

Its a morally conscious site, but only encourages sucking up. Once you hit elite status, you can 'Tag' posts that aren't fit for the sheltered player's eyes.
The only way you'll ever been anything on Powerpets is if you suck up to the staff and mods. They'll tag your boards and give you warnings before you even know what you did wrong, especially if you are new! And their art sucks. The animals don't even look like animals, just cheap cartoons. The flash takes forever to load, too. Newbie: 'Hey guys I'm new to Powerpets. How are you doin?'
*TAGGED by at least 5 players* Newbie:'What did I do?' Them:'You said the word /doin/. That's chatspeak. You're getting reported for that.' |

An online virtual pet site created by Liz and Tony (staff names - Sweetfire and TheMetal). It's geared towards all ages and is 100% free of advertisements. There is a 24/7 live staff monitored environment and Powerpets is COPPA compliant. All of the staff members are regularily found on the message boards communicating with members and participating in chats. Many of the adults playing the game are parents who were brought to the site by their children or found the website on their own and encouraged their children to join. It is a family atmosphere where people are encouraged, not discouraged.
The main focus of Powerpets is educating and caring for animals in an environment that is free of hostility and is safe for everyone. Scamming and hacking is taken very seriously and members who break major rules are removed from the site. Members can choose to adopt a wide variety of pets, all of which are found in the real world. Education comes in the form of quests where short books are read in order to answer questions about animals. For those who like to get involved, Powerpets offers a chance to submit your own stories to be published as an official PP book, create greeting cards or submit items that may be released for sale in one of the many shops. As a bonus, you receive commissions for book sales or a lump sum payment in powerbucks for any artwork used. Powerpets also allows you to... |

A game similar to Neopets, only it's RIGHT!
They support animal adoption, and adopting an animal is highly permanent. New users can make money very easily, and the community is small but respectable. The staff care about you, and you can submit your own books which you can actually read! The games are simple, and don't use any advertising like Neopets does. Neopets is a bad influence for younger children, and Powerpets needs to be more revered for teaching good morals and how to keep a pet. Oh, and can I mention one more thing? Powerpet's pets are more deverse and are actual real-life animals. You can adopt a wolf, a tiger, an artic fox and they are actually called that. Disowning a pet is non extistant because you need to get them up to lvl 40 in armor and pay 70K just to get rid of them. Pets are more personal! Ok, I'll admit that Neopets came first. But let's all face it- NEOPETS IS CORRUPT! They use corporate logos to get the children's love and adoration. Instead, play Powerpets and actually learn something rather than being a pawn of a monster like NP. Neopets will never give a shit about you, your pet, or your wallet. Powerpets teaches morals and staff know you by name. Choose something productive- choose powerpets!

A virtual pet site..
Very Addictive Consumes all your time, energy and frequently asks you to "upgrade your account" i.e use money to play. Entirely too stupid. Frequently leads to job loss and/or the person losing interest in school i.e real life. The best part is: They do not have a deactivate button so you are STUCK on that site forever. |

Nassau was fun. You really don't need to follow the excursions for this island. It only cost $4/person to taxi to Atlantis, where you definitely want to visit.
Coco cay was a great port. We snorkeled and toured the small island. There were plenty of excursions there if you had the $$$, but you can still enjoy the place without them.
On New Years eve we did a 50 minute massage special for $99 which was pretty good and then dressed up for a poolside party. They had a band playing 70's music (which was a weak choice for the occasion) and they botched the counting up to New Years because the Captain got on the PA and announced it, which cut off all the other PA's. So it was a little Chaotic. The D.J. after mid-night did not help because he was mixing songs terribly and would only play a minute of a song and then switched it to some unrelated genre which was hard to dance to. However, the bartenders became very generous that evening and we all got blasted on the top deck dancing away the night which was fun. Overall we had a great time, but don't count on cruising Monarch of the Sea for New Years. You can probably do better on a Carnival Cruise. I was told by other guests that the 7 night+ Royal Caribbean cruises are much better than the Bahamas cruises. Guess I'll pass anyway.

My roommate Matt wrote this awesome letter to The Daily Universe last year (scroll down to the heading "Message for Sisters" to read his letter), and garnered some incredibly hilarious responses from the BYU community. He struck a tightly strung chord in this community, something that everyone here at BYU spends a lot of time thinking about: dating.
Well, I figured that I have something I'd like to say on this subject, so earlier this week I drafted a letter of my own. I haven't actually looked at the submission guidelines for letters to the editor, so I'll probably have to shorten this quite a bit, but I wanted to post the full version here in case anyone's interested. Enjoy!
When girls complain that they don't get asked out on dates, we are quick to find fault with the guys and slow find fault with the girls.I believe this is a mistake.While it is true that a lot of the stinging criticism leveled at the guys is true and valid, there are many things that the girls do to turn off potential admirers.With regards to that, here are five general principles for dating that I believe every girl at BYU should know and follow:
1.Everyone is worth a first date.
Of all of Elder Oak's dating counsel, the point we ignore the most is that a first date is not a big deal.Relax.Have fun.Give it a chance.How do you know that it can't work out?And even if it probably won't, at least it's a great learning opportunity.No one is too far beneath you for a first date.
2.If you turn down a first or second date, no matter the excuse, it says "I'm not interested in dating you."
Ambiguity is more painful than rejection.Even if your excuse is legitimate, guys will assume the worst.They may ask you out again, after some time, but they will be much slower to do so.On the other hand, if you want to communicate disinterest, turning down a second date is the polite way to do it.
3.If a guy asks you on a date and the time does not work for you, the way to say no without communicating complete lack of interest is to suggest an alternative time and activity.
If you have an honest scheduling conflict but are interested in dating him, do this and you erase the painful ambiguity that makes him reluctant to ask you out again.Besides, it is polite and very classy.
4.Backing out of a date at the last minute not only says "don't date me," it is inconceivably rude and extremely unattractive.
Guys step up to the plate by taking the initiative; girls step up to the plate by following through.If you are guilty of backing out after saying yes, you have absolutely no right to complain that guys don't ask you out enough.Quite frankly, you are getting what you asked for.
If something genuinely does come up and you must cancel at the last minute, remember principle three.Show by your actions that you are not flaking out just because you got cold feet.
5.If you rudely turn down one guy, others will hear about it.
Guys are not as aloof as you think.We have our social networks and we talk with our friends about our dating experiences just as much as you do.Keep that in mind when someone out of left field asks you out.The word gets around.
Please know that I don't mean to blame the girls at BYU for not getting asked out.Too many guys at this university aren't man enough to step up to the plate.At the same time, the girls are not beyond the need for repentance.I've found, in my experience, that these five principles work, and I sincerely believe that if every girl in this university followed them, not only would we all date more, but we would all have a lot more fun.

Written by Sara Strecker (May 8, 2009) for EDNF In honor of May EDS Awareness Month
I go through my life invisible. No one knows my name or knows anything about me, but yet I am still there. I am the ache in the morning when sore joints, displaced during a ragged night of sleep, make themselves known. I am the ripped skin and the dislocated hip. I am Ehlers-Danlos.
There are those who know me personally, who know my ins and outs- know me intimately. Many who know me, however, do not know my name nor what to do with me; all they know is the discomfort that I cause. They go through their lives with the aches, calling them different names Arthritis, Growing Pains, Aging never calling me by my true moniker. I am the great pretender. I am rare enough that I hide in plain sight, because everyone sees me, but no one knows my identity.
But, I want my name to be known. I dont want to be invisible any longer. If you know who I am, you can work with me so there is less discomfort, instead of just pushing through. I dont want to be misdiagnosed as growing pains; I want my name to be paid attention to. And when you dont call me by my true name, I just scream louder. The mild aches become sharp pains: Listen to me! I want you to know who I am, I want you to know the real me. I want your family and friends to call me by my true name.
I am tired of being erroneously named. I am tired of being mistaken for a horse, when I am a zebra. Look at the horses closely and you will come to see my hidden stripes. You can find them if you look hard enough find me in the densest herd. Even the wind shows itself sometimes, you just have to look for it.
Shout my name from the rooftops! Tell the doctors my origins! I have been on the sidelines too long. Its time for my coming out party. Tell your friends what I stand for - that way no one suffers needlessly, that way I dont have to scream to get my name heard. I want every medical student to know me intimately, not just from some textbook: every doctor to know how to diagnose me. I dont want to be the rare zebra anymore; I want to be thought of when the hoof beats are heard in the distance. The cloak of invisibly can be lifted if you are brave enough to let me have my name.
I am Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and I warrant being noticed!

Romney Adviser: Romney Will 'Stand Up Next To' Birther Donald Trump | Mitt Romney adviser Kevin Madden defended the campaign's association with Donald Trump during an interview with MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell Friday afternoon, saying that the former Massachusetts governor will "stand up next to Donald Trump and he'll talk about why he wants to be president." Romney will host a fundraiser with Trump next month, despite the reality TV star's renewed claim that President Obama was born in Kenya. "Anytime the subject goes off of that, or if something where …Governor Romney would disagree, he's going to make that very clear," Madden claimed, but did not say if Romney would rebuke the birther conspiracy in front of Trump.

This will list all installed packages on a RedHat/CentOS based system, sort them alphabetically, Parse off the version numbers, and delete any duplicate entries.
This is good if you need to build out a mirrored system or rebuild a failing system.
Uses line-porcelain in git blame, which makes it easier to parse the output.
Watch out if you have several USB drives plugged in: it scans the whole /media/ folder !!! You can replace /media/ by the path of a specific USB drive (something like /media/F77A-530B/)
I use a sound recorder and I want to plug the recorder and grab the most recent sound.
That's what this command does.
Use mv instead of cp to move instead of copy.
Change *.wav to the required file type.
Shows sorted by query time, the headers of mysqlbinlog entries. Then is easy to locate the heavier events on the raw log dump
Sometimes you want to see all of the systcls for a given $thing. I happened to need to easily look at all of the vm sysctls between two boxes and compare them. This is what I came up with.
This doesn't require any non-standard programs.
Per country GET report, based on access log. Easy to transform to unique IP
tree -ifsF --noreport .|sort -n -k2|grep -v '/$'
(rows presenting directory names become hidden)
The listing will be nice separated with dashes in chunks of identical files.
Output format:
Size Inode Mode Count_of_identical_files UID GID Date Time Path/Filename
Simpler and without all of the coloring gimmicks. This just returns a list of branches with the most recent first. This should be useful for cleaning your remotes.
find -printf "%f\n" prints just the file name from the given path. This means directory paths which contain extensions will not be considered.
Search for files and list the 20 largest.
find . -type f
gives us a list of file, recursively, starting from here (.)
-print0 | xargs -0 du -h
separate the names of files with NULL characters, so we're not confused by spaces
then xargs run the du command to find their size (in human-readable form -- 64M not 64123456)
| sort -hr
use sort to arrange the list in size order. sort -h knows that 1M is bigger than 9K
| head -20
finally only select the top twenty out of the list

-First let me say, wine occupies probably 2/3 of the store, but don't let that fool you. This is a top tier bottle shop. Let's just say...16 selections on tap. There is always a beer available to appeal to your palate. One of the things most people tell me when I take them there for the first time is that they can't believe the draft selection, its comparable to the best beer bars in Raleigh.
-The atmosphere is very laid back and relaxed. You can pull a stool up to the bar or sit at a table...take your pick. I am a big fan of the couches and armchairs...so inviting and comfortable, it makes you feel right at home.
-The guys are awesome! Top notch and very knowledgeable. They are always willing to slow down and carry on a conversation or just ask you how your day has been. Its like being around a bunch of friends. And they value customer's input.
-Although their bottle selection is not the largest in the area, they offer a great variety of superb beers. Hard to find beers...check they've got'em. Local...Yep. Just being distributed to the area...Got those too.
-Of course everyone wants to know the bottom line...and they excel there as well. Ridgewood seems to always have the lowest prices around.
This is definitely my preferred bottle shop, these guys treat their customer's right and want you to enjoy your experience. Do yourself a favor and stop in...you will be glad you did.

-A GREAT selection of things you'll want to buy...maybe not the largest, but great selection.
-Incredible beers on tap always. Always surprises me when I see the things they have on tap. Beats out most bars in this respect.
-The staff is very knowledgable and will talk to you for however long you want to.
-Also, the best prices in town. Consistently lowest bottle price out of any of the Raleigh stores.

Since its birth this February, this is my favorite craft beer joint in the triangle, probably in all of NC. The beers on tap are well priced and well poured. If the staff isn't slammed which happens on Fridays from time to time, they will gladly navigate you to a beer that arrouses your beer palate.
The atmosphere is a wood covered lounge with beers surrounding you on one side and a great wine selection on the other while listening to some chill tunes from artist like Nightmares on Wax. If you need some food as a base to your beer drinking adventure, stop at wholefoods(around the corner,next door) for a treat and enjoy the rest of that meal in ridgewood as you enjoy one of their 16 taps. Taps range from $3-8. Right now I'm enjoying olde hickory imperial stout for $5 with a 13 oz pour, their standard.
This is a great place to start the evening or finish your work day. They close at 7 most days but Friday is there special night were the stay open a little later. If your lucky and in good company you might experience some rare craft bottles that the RW staff has or some their loyal customers bring. That's the RW experience I've come to know and love, beer exploration with some education. Ridgewood is my jam! Come check this place out and have a bit of patience if you see they are busy. I'm sure they'll do their best to take care of you with a yummy beerski and help you find a tasty treat from their bottle selection. Thank you beer and RW!

Ridgewood has quickly become my top choice for beer in the Triangle. A close look at their beer selection will show that they actually take time to think about what beer they want to carry. If you want to guarantee a quality beer purchase, this is the place. Also, their 16 rotating taps are always flowing with a variety of seasonals, rarities and quality standbys. On top of that, they have the best prices anywhere on the Triangle. Sometimes it's by 50 cents, sometimes it's by 4 bucks. Honestly though, the prices aren't what keeps me coming back - the customer service here is bar none. The staff takes the time to get to know what you like, and their recommendations have never steered me wrong. They get to know their customers, and if you're a regular, you're treated like a regular - with gratitude for coming in and who knows, maybe a bottle of something that is sold out, but saved for you. You get the feeling like its not all about getting the dollar out of your pocket, it's about having a good time and a shared love for great beer.

I really like the vibe of this place - a really clean and modern interior that about equally splits the space between wine and beer in addition to having a nice couch area to sit and some tables for enjoying drafts. Also, they have a nice collection of brewery glassware if you are looking for that.
The drafts were well poured and severed in proper glassware and at the correct temperature.
Staff was very knowledgeable and willing to share information on other places in NC that I should check out, including bars, breweries, and stores. Very friendly.
They had quite a good collection of local beer (including some of the harder to find locals), craft beers, and one-off/special release beers. Also, an impressive set of beers on tap.
I did not see any food offered but remember this is mostly a retail store.
The prices were really good here - the best I have seen since coming to NC for a visit, easily about $1 cheaper than anyplace else.

This is by far my favorite beer place in the Triangle. Hands down. The staff is not only incredibly friendly, but they are also extremely knowledgeable. What's even better, the more you go there, the more they know your palate, and the more they know your palate, the more recommendations they can make. These guys knew my name from the first time I shopped at Ridgewood.
No place in the Triangle can beat their prices. They have a killer draft selection, which rotates weekly. They get all the specials, all the one-offs, and all seasonal beers one could want.
Did I mention they have an excellent wine selection at amazing prices? My wife is a wino, and I'm the beer guy. So, we are both content in this place.
Do yourself a favor, and check this place out. Head in one Friday night, grab a pint, peruse the selection, and before you know it, you, too, will be a regular.
In addition, Ridgewood has great seating. They have couches, bar seats, and tables. They have two TV's. They allow outside food. So, you can grab a snack or dinner from Whole Foods next door and eat while you drink their delicious beverages.

Ridgewood Wine and Beer Co. is one of my favorite beer places in the triangle. The owners are extremely helpful and knowledgeable, they really go out of their way to help anyone who walks through the door. I feel very relaxed and comfortable while shopping in the store. They often have beer tastings with a few in the works. Ballast Point was the most recent one.
They have 16 taps with a selection of drafts that rival a lot of other beer spots in the triangle not with quantity but quality. They have 6 or places to sit at the bar, along with plenty of tables, bar stools and couches to relax on while enjoying your beer. Its a very open and spacious store. There are 2 HDTV's in the seating area as well. You can order flights of beers or pints. The staff is ready and encourages you to try any beer you like before ordering.
Their prices are the best in town by far. They beat whole foods next door on everything they offer along with the total wines in the area. They don't have a massive selection but it is a well thought out selection of beers. I would love to see more sour/wild ales in the future but they are a new and growing store and the selection will continue to grow. They do have a few selections in the cooler and they would be happy to chill anything for you while you enjoy a small pour of a beer.
The owners are very humble and grateful, I would highly recommend stopping by Ridgewood Wine and Beer anytime you are in the Raleigh area. There are a lot of quality stores and beer locations in the Raleigh area and this place is definitely one of them. Cheers!

This is, hands down, my favorite store in the area. No, they don't have the largest selection in the area. However, everything they have is top notch. They have 16 taps and, as of tonight, 15 of them are beers I enjoy or want to try. That's a pretty damn good ratio for anyone, much less a relatively small shop that is more than 50% dedicated to wine.
The prices are the lowest in the Triangle, often by a wide margin. I have a hard time just stopping by for a beer after work. I'm always tempted to take home some bottles ... and often times do. The vibe is really laid back, the owners are all really great guys (don't really get that "dick" comment from another review), always straight up if they have/don't have beers I want.
If every store was run the way Ridgewood was, I might not be as loyal a customer. But when you mix a decent selection of great beers, awesome prices, good, friendly management and more than a dozen taps of top notch beers, you're a winner in my book and will have my business as long as possible.

Ridgewood Beer and Wine is a quiet, laid back, sophisticated beer and wine shop. They have hands down the best tap selection in the triangle. They are pouring between 10-15 unique, quality beers at any time.
The staff is very friendly and knowledgable on both beer and wine.
The selection of craft beer is top notch and fresh. If you're looking for the biggest selection in Raleigh this is not the place for you but they do have pretty much every high quality craft beer you can buy in NC so it's more of a quality vs quantity approach. Prices are the lowest in the triangle and the beer doesn't sit so it's always fresh.
I'd highly recommend this store. Have a couple great tap beers, meet the staff and leave with a nice couple bottles for later.

This place is much more inviting than the old Wine Merchant that used to occupy the location. It's still a bit stuffy for my tastes, and I doubt i'd go here for a drink (they serve beer on tap and wine by the glass) unless my friends demanded it. They do have a nice selection of beers though (probably pretty comparable in size to the whole foods next door). The real draw for me is the prices, which are generally the cheapest you'll find outside of a pricing error at another store. The other cool thing about this store is the very nice glassware selection which has some snifters and tulips that are pretty hard to come by in these parts...I found a great lakes snifter for $2.99 and a sierra nevada hop tulip for $1.99 which were both great deals. The service has always been fine but one of the owners/managers is kind of a dick. Overall this is a decent beer store with some upside, but it isn't challenging Tasty Beverage Co or Bottle Revolution any time soon.

"When he came back, he had head injuries," says the former insider. "He was pale and sometimes had trouble standing." Not only that, but the former staffer also claims Murphy said she was unable to pay him because the money had been used for ransom ... Monjack, a screenwriter, is not short of enemies. Several anonymous sources have posted unflattering stories on the Internet about his past relationships. On June 13, a man identifying himself as Arturo Globenfeldt posted a message on Monjack's Imdb.com page claiming he owes him $16 million in film investment money.
So the guy gets kicked out of the country for 10 days and then tells Brittany Murphy he was kidnapped and she believes him. Wow.

Google, Mozilla, show off in-browser video chat
Oh what a lovely standards war
Posted in Software, 5th February 2013 03:51 GMT
Customer Success Testimonial: Recovery is Everything
Google and the Mozilla foundation have teamed up to show off the WebRTC standard in their respective browsers by staging a live video chat between developers.
The saccharine exchange, posted below, was made possible by RTCPeerConnection [1], a feature of the standard that allows browser-to-browser chat without the need for plugins but with permission required to activate cameras and microphones. WebRTC is expected to offer click-to-chat features in web pages.
The demo was built on a sample app available at github [2] and is accompanied by roll-your-own WebRTC app help published here [3].
The demo worked with a beta of Chrome 25 and a Firefox nightly build. Just why developers decided now was the time to get WebRTC working in both is anyone's guess, but it's hard not to imagine the two development teams are aware of Microsoft's recent discussion [4] of its WebRTC competitor. Microsoft thinks its vision for real-time web communication, dubbed Customizable, Ubiquitous Real Time Communication (CURTC, perhaps pronounced "curtsy") is superior because it can extend to VoIP phones and mobiles. CURTC is also burbling its way through the standards process.
By showing the world WebRTC running in browsers that together account for over 58 per cent of usage (according to StatCounter [5]) Google and Mozilla have made a statement that WebRTC is ready to roll, even if it has not been signed off. It's hardly the first time backers of a standard have made a land grab before the ink is dry on the standard.
Yet wider interoperability is discussed in the W3C's IETF's use cases document [6] for WebRTC. That means it is hard to write off CURTC as a way to protect the $US8.5bn MIcrosoft spent on Skype.
Watch Video [7]
With months to go before WebRTC's feature list is locked down, that leaves plenty of time for changes that could make today's demo a very modest taste of things to come. ®

Fuchsia excorticata "New Zealand Tree Fuchsia"
photo: (left) JG in SF
A must for the Fuchsia collector, this giant of the genus grows to 18' tall in the wild, but in the garden it's grown as a shrub or a small, spreading tree to 10'. Evergreen in frost-free climates, the attractive and glossy pointed-oval leaves are dark green above and silvery beneath. Beautiful cinnamon colored peeling bark and flowers that also sprout directly from the trunk or branches, makes this one very cool specimen plant. The 1" pendulous flowers start out green, turn violet, then dark purple and display bright blue pollen that was used by the Maori as face ornament. Bloom time is late Spring and lasts for several months, followed by dark berries loved by birds. Slow growing "Tree, Fuchsia" loves rich, average-moist soil.

Earthwatch was founded in Boston, Massachusetts, in 1971. A need to invent a new funding model for scientific research became apparent, as dwindling government funding was combined with an increased urgency in the need for scientific information and action.
The innovative idea of engaging general public into the scientific process by bringing together individual volunteers and scientists on field research projects was developed, not only to provide this alternative means of funding, but also providing a dedicated labour force for field scientists.
This bridging between the science and the general public also helped increase the public's understanding of science, and their knowledge of environmental issues, transforming values, attitudes and behaviour. An increased motivation and commitment to the conservation cause ensued, creating a growing network of people who were not only passionate about the world that they lived in, but wanted to do something about it.
In 1971 Earthwatch started with just 4 hand-picked scientists from the Smithsonian Institute, and 39 volunteers working on these 4 teams.

I completely agree with you. Customers do look at the eye level, which is how overselling hosts are able to gain such a big customer base (And also bad reviews thereafter ). There has been a significant amount of companies that have gone 'under' recently and new ones will just keep on popping up.
I do believe it hurts the hosting business, nowadays you seen countless numbers of VPS hosting companies that are starting up and offering VPS servers at very low costs just like the web hosting industry is.
Its a cycle and clients should definitely do a lot of research on their host before signing up (ie: legally registered? how long in business? good or bad reputation? do they have experience?).

Divisive abortion debate has potential to derail Romney's run
The party is divided and distracted by the issue, writes LARA MARLOWEat the Republican convention in Tampa
"MY BIRTH mother was abducted at gunpoint by a serial rapist," begins Rebecca Kiessling's story.
Mitt Romney would like to forget about the issue of exceptions to a proposed ban on abortion but Kiessling, a Republican attorney, anti-abortion activist and spokeswoman for Personhood USA, will not let the issue die.
The party is divided, with Romney advocating exceptions in cases of rape, incest or a threat to the mother's life. Its platform specifies that "the unborn child has a fundamental individual right to life which cannot be infringed" and makes no allowance for exceptions.
The issue dominated the run-up to the convention, after Todd Akin, a Republican senatorial candidate, claimed a woman's body would "shut down" the possibility of pregnancy if she were the victim of a "legitimate rape".
"Social conservatives were very upset that Romney came out with a press release tainting Ryan's good name," says Kiessling, referring to the campaign's statement that it disagreed with Akin.
She appeared prominently on television during the Akin controversy, and has kept a high profile at the convention, appearing in a film titled The Gift of Life.
Kiessling is an attractive, blue-eyed blonde who wears a stars-and-stripes teapot bracelet and matching ear-rings to signify her support for the Tea Party. "My local Tea Party is very pro-life, and I like the idea they go against the party machine," she explains.
She also participated in the Republicans' "Life Event", with former candidates Rick Santorum, Michele Bachmann and Rick Perry, all of whom signed the "Personhood Pledge", which stipulates an absolute ban on abortion.
Newt Gingrich and Ron Paul also signed the no-exceptions pledge. Mitt Romney did not. Santorum reiterated his opposition to abortion in his speech to the convention on Tuesday night.
When Kiessling's birth mother learned she was pregnant she approached two back alley abortionists in Michigan but decided against the procedure because it was illegal.
Kiessling was born in July 1969, three years before the Roe v Wade decision legalised abortion in the US. "I owe my life to the law," she says. "It's not just that I would not have been born; I would have been killed. I was not just a glob of tissue in my mother's womb; I was me. I was saved from a burning building. I speak publicly about it 75 times a year; this is my life mission."
Kiessling was adopted by a bipolar woman and her abusive husband, who broke her nose. At the age of 19, she was reunited with her birth mother, who later legally adopted her own biological daughter. "I have a very happy ending," says Kiessling. She is the mother of five children, two of them adopted.

Queensbury Hotel Review
Ivy tendrils scale the facade of this five-story redbrick hotel built in the 1920s. A large fireplace graces the lobby, where cushy chairs invite lingering. Rooms are traditional, with lace-fringed windows, soft colors, and dark-wood furniture. The indoor pool, under a massive skylight, is a nice size. The hotel is across from the city park in downtown Glens Falls.

This brought back memories for me too. Our mother and father had divorced and we lived pretty much in poverty in the deep southeast side. As soon as I could, I got both a morning Courier route and an afternoon Press route. My morning route was in the "red light district" approximately where American General was until recently. My afternoon route was in the affluent area around the McCurdy Hotel and included doctors,lawyers, and even our incumbent congressman. It may be surprising to some, but I was treated equally well on both routes and received roughly the same amount of tips on both routes. Those were tough days, but they were pretty good days too. Thanks for the memories, Mizell III.

Utah :: Desert Sky and Dirt Bag Dreams
Over the last couple years I've been fortunate to reconnect with some old friends and make some pretty darn cool new ones as I've jumped/fallen/scrambled into the world of rock climbing. Along the way I've also picked up on the strange and varied vernacular of the climbing culture. "Crux", "splitter", "epicing", "bomber", "bootie", "gobi" "redpoint" and a myriad of other seemingly crude and nonsensical terms have entered my vocabulary, creeping insidiously into a deeper part of my psyche and awakening in me what can probably best be termed "dirt bag" dreams.

- Insert a blank DVD and click Burn.
Using the Media Browser
The Media Browser enables you to browse your computer to find the video and sound files that you want to use in your DVD. The two buttons at the top enable you to filter the browser for videos or music. For example, if you click the video filter you see only video files in the browser. The top window of the browser shows shortcuts to the most common apps and folders where the media files are found. So in video mode, this window shows your iTunes Movies content, iMovie, your Movies folder, etc. Use this window to browse and choose folders. Tip: You can add shortcuts to your own folders into this window by simply dragging the folder from Finder into the window. In the example shown, the shortcut 'South America 2011' has been added. The bottom window displays the media files that you can add to your DVD. Select one or more files from this window and drag them into the theme canvas. Tip: If you prefer you can drag media files from iTunes or Finder directly into the theme canvas. |
Selecting Your DVD's Theme
miDVD themes change the appearance of your DVD menu screen including the font used for the title, the background image, the placement of your video files and the video border colours. Simply click on the Theme Selector button in the bottom bar and choose a theme. |
Adding a Menu Soundtrack
You can add a soundtrack to your DVD project that will play while the DVD menu is on the screen. The soundtrack will loop after 25 seconds.
Previewing Your DVD
You can preview your DVD at any time prior to burning. In preview mode, the interface changes to simulate a TV screen and remote, giving you a realistic impression of how the DVD will play.
Tip: You must have added at least one video to your DVD before you can use Preview.
Simply click the Preview button in the toolbar. You can use the remote to select a video and then play, pause, scan or stop the video.
Click Quit on the remote to exit Preview mode.
Disk Capacity Meter
The Disk Capacity Meter, located at the right end of the bottom bar, shows an estimate * of the DVD space used by your project.
When the meter appears white the estimate is based on the capacity of a standard single layer DVD (4.7GB). |
When the meter appears blue the estimate is based on the capacity of a dual layer DVD (8.5GB). |
When the meter appears red the estimate is that your project exceeds the capacity of a dual layer DVD (8.5GB). |
* The meter only shows an estimate of the disk capacity. The exact capacity is not known until the burn process has started. Regardless of the estimate, you can choose to attempt to burn your project to DVD.
Background Preview Generation - This preference determines when miDVD generates movies for viewing when previewing your DVD.
When selected, miDVD generates previews in the background while you are doing other tasks in miDVD. This means that when you switch to preview your DVD, the preview will display more quickly. However, on less powerful computers this setting may affect your computer's overall performance.
When not selected, miDVD only generates movie previews once you select Preview mode. This means your preview will take longer to load, but your computer's overall performance will be unaffected by preview generation.


text: Technical Abstract: AFLR, a DNA-binding protein of 444 amino acids, transactivates the expression of genes in the aflatoxin biosynthetic pathway gene clusters in A. parasiticus, A. flavus as well as the sterigmatocystin synthesis gene cluster in A. nidulans. We showed, by fusion of various aflR coding regions to the GAL4 DNA-binding coding region, that the AFLR carboxy-terminus contained a transcription activation domain and that the internal region between the AFLR DNA-binding and transcription activation domains was required for AFLR's function. Compared to the AFLR carboxy-terminal fusion protein (AFLRC), a mutant AFLRC retained approximately 75% of the activation activity after deletion of three acidic amino acids, Asp 365, Glu366 and Glu367, in a previously identified acidic stretch. Removal of the carboxy-terminal amino acid, Glu444, did not affect the activation activity. Substitutions of acidic Glu423, Asp439, or Asp436/Asp439 with basic amino acid(s) resulted in 10 to 15-fold lower activation activities. The Asp436His mutation abolished the activation activity. Substitutions of basic His428, and His442 with acidic Asp resulted in 20% and 40% decrease in the activation activity, respectively. Simultaneous substitutions of Arg427, Arg429, and Arg431 with Leu significantly decreased the activation activity; the decrease was approximately 50-fold. Results suggest that the carboxy-terminal 23 amino acid region of Aspergillus parasiticus AFLR is a transcription activation domain and that total acidity in this region is not a major determinant of AFLR's activation ability.

In McLemore v. Regions Bank, No. 10-5480 (6th Cir. June 8, 2012), a divided panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit ruled that ERISA preempted state law claims brought against a custodian that allegedly failed to prevent a plan fiduciary from stealing plan funds.
In McLemore, a third-party administrator (the "TPA") for a number of ERISA plans directed the plans to send funds to depository accounts with a bank (the "Bank") that were held in the name of the TPA. Over a four-year period, the TPA effectively stole over $19 million from these accounts through numerous withdrawals and transfers. After the TPA became bankrupt and its theft of the plans' funds was discovered, the trustee of the TPA's bankruptcy estate sued the Bank on behalf of the plans in federal district court, asserting fiduciary claims under ERISA § 502(a)(2) as well as claims under state law. On the Bank's motion, the district court dismissed both sets of claims, ruling that the complaint failed to allege adequately that the Bank was an ERISA fiduciary and that the state law claims were preempted by ERISA. On appeal, the Sixth Circuit (in an opinion authored by Judge Cook) affirmed the district court ruling in a 2 – 1 decision that addressed four issues.
First, the Court of Appeals determined that the trustee of the TPA's bankruptcy estate had standing as a fiduciary to bring claims on behalf of the plans under ERISA § 502(a)(2). In this regard, the court concluded that the bankruptcy trustee had adequately pleaded its fiduciary status, in light of the complaint's allegations that – as "successor fiduciary" of the TPA – the bankruptcy trustee exercised control over assets of the plans.
Second, the Sixth Circuit rejected the Bank's arguments that, because the bankruptcy trustee asserted it was "step[ping] into the shoes of [the TPA]" to sue as fiduciary, its claims should be barred by the equitable doctrines (in pari delicto and unclean hands) that in certain situations prevent culpable parties from bringing suit. The court emphasized that, in suing on behalf of the plans, the bankruptcy trustee was "stepping into the shoes of the plans" and was not attempting to recover funds for the TPA's bankruptcy estate.
Third, the court affirmed the dismissal of the ERISA fiduciary claims against the Bank, agreeing with the district court's conclusion that, under the complaint's allegations, the Bank was not an ERISA fiduciary of the plans. In this regard, the complaint alleged: that the Bank knew that the TPA's accounts held plan assets; that the Bank had assisted the TPA in opening the accounts in its own name in order to circumvent banking rules; and that the Bank had withdrawn over $500,000 in fees and other charges from the accounts for its own benefit. In the court's view, these allegations did not establish the requisite "authority or control" over management or disposition of plan assets within the meaning of ERISA's definition of fiduciary, because they indicated that the Bank acted only as a nondiscretionary custodian that followed the TPA's directions and collected its "contractually owed fees" from the accounts.
Lastly, the Sixth Circuit ruled that ERISA preempted the complaint's state law claims. The court noted that, in the circumstances of this case, applicable state law limited the claims that could be brought to allegations of knowing or bad faith conduct by the Bank (effectively eliminating claims based on, e.g., negligence). The court observed further that state law claims alleging the Bank had knowingly, or in bad faith, permitted the TPA to steal funds from the plans would effectively constitute state law claims that the Bank had knowingly participated in the TPA's actions that constituted breaches of the TPA's fiduciary duties under ERISA. The court reasoned that such state law claims would be preempted by ERISA, which itself provides a cause of action against nonfiduciaries who knowingly participate in breaches of fiduciary duties by ERISA fiduciaries. The court stressed that the remedies for such a "knowing participation" claim under ERISA would be limited to equitable relief (such as the restitution of plan funds in the Bank's possession), while remedies for state law knowing participation claims could provide for broader relief (such as damages to make the plans whole for their losses). It found that the state law claims were preempted because they would impermissibly supplement the remedies established by ERISA's remedial scheme, which Congress intended to be exclusive.
Judge Merritt dissented from the majority's conclusion that the state law claims were preempted, arguing that, before ERISA was enacted, the plan participants could have had state law remedies against the Bank in the circumstances of this case, and that Congress intended ERISA to be protective of participants. He asserted in dissent that he "would not adopt a construction of preemption that perversely deprives [plan] participants of rights they previously possessed."
