Karlovy Vary Tourist Attractions
Commonly referred to by its German name, Karlsbad, Karlovy Vary is a town with a rich history. Famous visitors have been coming to the town since it was founded in 1358.
Karlovy Vary Film Festival
If you need a little star gazing to go with your therapeutic bathing, The Karlovy Vary Film Festival attracts a wide variety of famous actors and actresses. The film festival is held every July and the town fills up fast with close to 130,000 people attending over 200 films. Several Festival Passes are available ranging in length from one to five days. For those real film buffs, a pass is also available that will allow you to see every film in the entire festival!Festival organizers recommend that accommodation be booked as early as April. Top rated films are screened along with many lesser known works by up and coming directors. The Karlovy Vary Film Festival has been running continuously since 1946 with the only exceptions being 1953 and 1955.
Diana Lookout Tower
Behind the Grandhotel Pupp and located on top of a hill, visitors will find the 35m / 115ft high Diana Lookout tower. It provides fantastic views out over Karlovy Vary and is a good place to get your bearings before you start your touring.The Diana Lookout Tower can be reached in two ways. If you are feeling strong you can walk up the trails, which will take you to the base of the tower. This is a pleasant stroll through the forest where the sound of birdsong can be heard.Once you emerge from the forest, the hard work begins as it is a five story climb to the top of the tower. There is also a cable car for those who do not wish to walk up the trails; however, you still have to climb the five stories to the lookout tower.
Historical Motorcycle Museum of Karlovy Vary
Starting from a collection of only one old wrecked ancient motorcycle, the Historical Motorcycle Museum has grown to now include over 100 pieces. Housed in a building built in the mid 13th Century, the museum makes for a pleasant diversion from churches and mineral pools.A majority of the collection is housed in the attic of the museum. The attic is in its original form and shows the craftsmanship of the Bohemian builders. Soaring 14m / 46ft ceilings give the museum an airy feeling and present the collection in a pleasant setting.A small toy museum is also part of the complex. Featured are toys from the following areas of Bohemia: Skaovsko, Krounsko, Hlinecko, Príbramsko, and South-Bohemia.
Moser Glass Museum and Glassworks
For those interested in beautiful glass items, the Moser Glass Museum in the town of Moser should be at the top of their list. A fascinating history is presented through a series of exhibits and the museum is divided into six sections: history of the Moser Glassworks, samples of glassworks, decorative glass and table works, coats of arms and monograms, giant snifters, and samples from a glass symposia workshop held in the 1990's.While at the museum, be sure to take one of the tours of the Moser Glassworks. Here you can see the master glass blowers exhibiting their craft in their workshops. Featured techniques are mouth blowing into moulds and product hand shaping.
Marianske Lazne
Marianske Lazne is a posh spa resort in Western Bohemia, located in lush rolling hills and artfully designed around the 40 springs, which are the basis of the spa. Developed in the early part of the 19th Century Marianske Lazne is a relatively new spa compared to some of the others in the Czech Republic. The architecture of the town is very ornate but tasteful and surrounded by endless gardens. Over the years the spa has attracted some famous visitors including the writers Goethe and Nikolai Gogol, as well as composers Wagner and Chopin, King Edward VII of England and Austrian Emperor Franz Josef. Each year during the third week of August the town hosts a Chopin Festival as a tribute to the composer.The central spa building in Marianske Lazne is the Colonnade (Kolonada), built in 1889. The springs contain different properties and doctors recommend treatments based on particular ailments. Some of the disease treated at the spa include kidney and liver diseases, respiratory and skin problems, nerve disorders, metabolic problems and more. The range of treatments include thermal baths, mud baths, gas baths, gas injections, and drinks.
Premonstratensian Monastery, Tepla
The Premonstratensian Monastery at Tepla was founded in the late 12th Century. The monks were also the owners of Marianske Lazne (a spa resort) in the 16th Century and were by all measures wealthy at that time. The monastery was closed under the Communist Regime and used as military barracks. Since that time the abbey has reverted back to religious hands and is once again inhabited by monks who have begun to restore it.The most notable aspects of the Tepla Monastery are the 13th Century Romanesque-Gothic church, which has remained relatively intact throughout the ages, and the library which contains almost 100,000 volumes, making it the second largest library in the Czech Republic.
Highlights: |
Castle, Loket nad Ohri
The main attraction in the town of Loket nad Ohri in Western Bohemia is the Castle. Built in the 12th Century the castle is remarkably well preserved and has endured with few alterations. The castle was last restored in the 1970s. The imposing stone structure sits on a rocky mount high above the River Ohre and was used as a prison from the late 1700s to 1947. Visitors can tour the Loket Castle but there is not much to see, it is most impressive from the outside. The lookout tower offers some nice views over the surrounding area.

I really enjoyed your post! Have you ever read any Martha Grimes Mysteries? She write a British mystery. All the names of her books are British pubs. I thought of her books when you mentioned "The Snooty Fox"! I could picture her Richard Jury in many of the photos you shared! Thanks for the trip!
ReplyDeleteMakes me want to jump through the computer and join you....I was talking to my sister today about us going in 2 years....she's been several times herself. I told her about your post on Hever Castle but she said they didn't go there even though she wanted to. She did say to be sure to go to the Tower.
Thanks so much for sharing your wonderful trip. I showed your pics to my husband in hopes of getting him inspired!
I have so enjoyed the tour of Jolly Ole England you have given us through the pictures and your narrative so much. I can see why you would want to retire there some day.

Tomorrow! Joe Wengert joins Hayes & Sean to review TLC's Best Funeral Ever on a new episode of the reality SHOW show!
The Reality SHOW Show: That's My Fan Club
The guys do their best to keep their composure from having seen Movie 43 and break down why certain cast members of Top Chef represent a certain gay subculture. Then they give us a look into what a day in the life of Kevin Smith is really like after coming home from a taping of King of the Nerds. Finally, MICHAEL STAGLIANO from Bachelor Pad shows up to talk about his recent engagement and some of the stuff that happens behind the scenes on the various bachelor reality shows.
Bachelor Pad's Michael Stagliano joins Hayes and Sean on tomorrow's new episode of the reality SHOW show!
The Reality SHOW Show: Skull and Two Bones
Sean and Hayes congratulate The Bachelor for making a one-armed girl wear roller skates and finally putting her in her place. Then they hop in the time machine with a Classic Tanks But No Tanks from back when they were drivetime radio hosts on an Adult Hits station in Santa Fe. Eventually ANDERS HOLM of "Workaholics" shows up to preach on Gigolos and play a sad game inspired by American Idol.
Anders Holm, from Workaholics, joins Sean & Hayes on tomorrow's reality SHOW show to preach on Gigolos and play a sad game inspired by American Idol.
The Reality SHOW Show: I Love Pizza
Welcome to all of the Reality Show Show's new listeners who discovered Hayes and Sean from Rolling Stone's 50 Funniest Right Now list! The guys talk about new garbage program The Taste on ABC and its bewildering judge selection, followed by an appreciation of TBS's new show King of the Nerds and their sponsor Little Caesars. But the real treat is the appearance of Real World and Challenge hero Frank Sweeney, who truly stops being polite as he tells shocking stories of his time on the shows.
The Reality SHOW Show: Neither Did Kristen Though
It's the Reality Show Show's Season 7 premiere as Hayes and Sean respond to listener suggestions and wonder if guest JONNA MANNION from The Challenge is going to show up. To pass the time they dig into a crushing lemonation on Top Chef and the much-anticipated ascent of Padma Lakshmi to the role of Head Judge. They also recall their intense reaction to seeing a helicopter on The Bachelor and respond to the show's claim that the amount of love you can have for someone isn't affected by how many hands you have. Finally, JONNA MANNION from The Challenge shows up to be nervously asked questions about life as a reality star and her past relationships.
The Reality SHOW Show: Obsessed Over Organizing
The guys settle their differences over a controversial term Hayes used on national television. Then they zero in on the premiere of "The Bachelor" and a game of You Just Got Kept On the Show. The guys celebrate the return of mean reality shows like Joe Schmo and Making Mr. Right, then 2 Broken Girls writer Pat Walsh sidles into the booth to celebrate his own birthday and take on the popular MTV shows Buckwild and Catfish.
The Reality SHOW Show: Poop Potato Salad
It's a minisode this week as all reality shows are on hiatus and Sean and Hayes run into a language barrier with their guest, Christopher Waltz from Django Unchanged.

Finally, some teasers for shows the guys will be watching this winter season.

State law affects cost of drivers ed
By GREG ALLMAIN
Federal Way Mirror reporter
January 11, 2013 · Updated 10:02 AM
Parents enrolling their students in Federal Way Public Schools (FWPS) traffic safety program may notice a slight bump in cost from previous years.
Now with a price tag of $450, the new fee is a $50 increase. The reason for this, according to traffic safety program manager Mike Grady, is because of a new state law that allows such programs to administer both the written and driving portions of the licensing test.
FWPS' traffic safety program is now the largest public-school-run program in the state. Last year, more than 800 students graduated from the program, according to Grady.
Last spring, the state Legislature passed a bill called House Bill 1635.
"Basically, it involved the Department of Licensing, where apparently there'd been a lot of complaints about the long lines at the Department of Licensing," Grady said. "So to solve that problem, they decided to pass this bill, enabling public schools, or private businesses, to give out the knowledge test, otherwise known as the written test, and the skills test, otherwise known as the on-road test, to get their license."
Grady explained that the slight increase in cost comes from the new ability to give the test.
For Grady and FWPS, this is a positive thing because of the convenience it will provide students and parents.
"We don't want them to be shocked that our price went from $400 to $450 for drivers ed, because now the price at $450 includes the opportunity for their student to get their licensing examinations at their high school," he said.
"So all of that is now rolled into one. We're thinking positive here, that if they're successful in drivers ed, they can do everything at their high school. And when they're done with our program they can just show up at the Department of Licensing, pay their fee, and pick up their license."
Grady also mentioned that FWPS students who enroll in the district program have an added benefit of convenience with an online scheduling program.
Grady attributed the program's success on the fact that most of the program is taken care of internally, from maintenance to other fees. The program's only goal is meet its costs.
"We're not trying to make money, we're trying to make costs. We're not in it for a business, but we want to make sure we can still provide this service," he said. "We're not sitting here getting rich off of our students. Our knowledge test is free because it's just a test. You go to the private vendors, they charge $25 to take the test."
Grady emphasized that FWPS traffic safety program is only open to students within the district. Even with the new law, adult drivers who need to take their licensing exam, or students who live outside the district, cannot take advantage of the licensing tests offered by FWPS' program.
Mostly, this comes from insurance considerations, Grady said.
"We're very confident, and very excited to provide this for our students and our parents, because now, they can do everything at one site," Grady said. "We just feel this is another service we can provide in this day and age, when things are tough, all the way around. Especially financially."

This book offers a wide spectrum of papers concerning applications of sedimentary provenance tools to specific field studies. Papers are grouped by region, with an overwhelming European flavor, focusing on Italian areas, on the Iberian Peninsula, and on Transdanubian regions. Readers are transported from India to Mexico across the Indian Ocean, New Zealand, and Pacific Ocean. At the end, two papers use a great variety of study areas to illustrate the utility of apatite in provenance studies and a model of the system controlling sand composition. Along this journey, the readers will find incredibly diverse topics, such as the use of gypsarenites in Messinian salinity crisis to provenance shifts in Neolithic settlements; from carbonate particles to apatite geochemistry; from weathering in uplands to deep sea sedimentation. The common aim of all these papers is to shed light on our knowledge of the past from the sedimentary remains.

I just want to bring up one little thing. Sometimes we will get advice from one person who is reviewing that is in direct conflict with another person's view of a particular piece. That used to confuse me so I went and read some of the writings of both reviewers and judged for myself which one's advice I would follow.
I always follow Shann's advice, and I am never offended by her remarks because I want to be better writer and I know I have a long way to go yet.
Also, I am not a great reviewer because I am afraid I look for the upside of an article and use that to try and encourage others to keep writing. I don't critique, I guess.
Again, if I get a review that is less than friendly or in a tone I don't like, I just let it go. People who leave unfriendly remarks are just unfriendly. Ha!
One more thing and I will get off my soapbox
Allison: Do you think it might have been a case of horrid sour grapes?

Mercedes driver Mauro Calo will attempt to break the powersliding record using an AMG Mercedes sedan.
Mercedes-Benz aims to top the current world record for the longest-ever powerslide this weekend at the Brooklands circuit in Surrey in the United Kingdom.
Mercedes driver Mauro Calo will spend about four minutes sliding either an E63 or a C63 AMG sedan in a 55-mph, third-gear drift. The goal is to rack up 10,000 feet (nearly two miles) sideways, obliterating the existing record of 8,000 feet.
Calo will slide around the narrow perimeter of the track, which is barely as wide as a car is long, for 12 laps. This leaves next to no room for error, but Calo said he is 100 percent confident that he will make the slide.

I don't mind for the most part, but renaming Asha to well... I can't even recall at the moment gripes with me a bit.
I'm enjoying the second season, but reading through all the books somewhat recently does spoil it a bit. I feel I'd enjoy it a bit more if I had read all the books say 2 years ago rather than 6 months ago.

KleenSpeed revealed its new electric prototype vehicle, the KAR, at the San Francisco Auto Show on Nov. 21. The car seats two, is priced just under $10,000, and offers a range of 150 miles. For approximately $175 per month, drivers would be able to lease the battery pack.
Campbell, CA (PRWEB) November 24, 2012
Volvo to Increase V60 Production
Volvo will increase its production target for the V60 diesel plug-in hybrid to nearly 6,000 units per year. The first 1,000 cars were sold before arriving in showrooms. Management decided to meet the public's demand by upping production numbers, effective January 2013. The next wave of V60 hybrids, like the first, will be manufactured in Volvo's facilities in Gothenburg, Sweden. At that location, the company also produces its XC90, S80, XC70, V70, and V60. The diesel engine is paired with an electric motor that draws power from an 11.2 kWh battery. The car is able to operate in all-electric mode for approximately 31 miles. For the complete story, see:
BMW i8 Concept Goes to LA Auto Show
The BMW i8 Concept Roadster will be on display at the LA Auto Show, along with some other members of the automaker's fleet. The i8 Concept Roadster reaches 60 mph in just 4.6 seconds and has a total power output of 354 horsepower. The sports car features lightweight construction consisting primarily of carbon fiber, as well as hybrid technology. Though not an official statistic, most experts think the i8 will achieve 78 mpg. Part of BMW's LifeDrive design series, the i8 Concept Roadster holds both an electric motor and a combustion engine. For the complete story, see:
Nissan Announces Lower Pricing for Leaf EV
Nissan Motor Co. announced this week that their Leaf electric car would cost less next year. In addition, the EV will feature a new function that informs drivers about the remaining range. Nissan responded to owner surveys, which showed that Leaf drivers wanted to know about remaining mileage, and desired a lower price. Nissan has increased the car's range to 142 miles from the previous 124 miles. The 18-mile range increase was achieved by making the car lighter and simplifying the battery packs. In Japan, the starting price for the base model went from $37,000 to $31,000. So far, these upgrades and price alterations are confined to the Japanese market. For the complete story, see:

Zapien's Salon
Atlanta & Greensboro, GA
I work as both a Stylist and Make-up Artist at 2 of Zapien's Salons locations. I became a Cinderella Hair Certified Stylist a few years ago and I love the Classic strand-by-strand method! I've also taught Cosmetology for several years at Athens Technical College in Athens, GA and my students love Cinderella Hair Extensions – they would go through my hair constantly and like the fact that I would change my hair color and length from time to time, season to season and holiday to holiday. It is so much fun!
My clients love the color and length choices and introducing Cinderella Hair Extensions is easy for all of us at the Salon because we all have Cinderella Hair ourselves. We love the extensions and I love the fact that your Extensions do not damage the natural hair. I find in most cases my Client's hair was in better shape when I removed the extensions than before I put them in. Our clients can arrive with short hair and leave with beautiful long hair – instantly. I had a request this afternoon for a set of Hair Extensions and nothing say's Vegas like S600 22" Body Wave!
Technique used for Savannah
Hair Extensions: Classic Bond
Color: 4 Packs #3 Medium Brown and
3 Packs #5 Light Brown 18" Body Wave
To add to Savannah's length, I started about an inch up from the nape area and kept my bond placement close and one row basically on top of the other for about 4 rows. Since I placed the bonds so close together, I made sure I didn't have any "stray hairs" included in each bond. I then placed my rows around a 1" apart depending on what I thought looked best and followed the same procedure around the head up to the temple area. I learned a lot from attending your 2-Day Classic Bond Seminar and this gave me the confidence to customize certain hair extension applications and adding not only length, but color.

Compiling PostGIS 1.4 and 1.5 under Windows using MinGW/Msys
A step by step guide to compiling PostGIS in windows XP SP3. This guide assumes that you already have a PostgreSQL installation on your computer. You will have to compile PostgreSQL here too, but that is just for the process of compiling PostGIS.
Install Directories
We have used the following install directories:
MinGW: c:\MinGW
Msys: c:\msys
sources c:\thesrc
installdirectory for postgresql: c:\postgresql
Useful Utilities
A good tool for extracting tar-files is 7-zip from http://www.7-zip.org
1. Installing Minimalist GNU for Windows (MinGW)
Download Automated MinGW Installer (Current - MinGW-5.1.4) from http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=2435 ( http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/Automated%20MinGW%20Installer/MinGW-5.1.4.exe/download)
- Run the setup file and choose everything (except possibly Ada)
- Accept the default Install location of C:\MinGW
2. Installing Minimal System (MSYS)
MSYS provides you with a unix shell environment for compiling code under windows.
Download MSYS version 1.0.11. http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/MSYS%20Base%20System/MSYS-1.0.11-rc-1.exe/download (this is listed in http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=2435)
- Say y to post Installation
- When prompted do you have MinGW -> y
- When prompted for where it is type -> C:\MinGW
3. Installing Msy Development Toolkit
Download the MysDTK1.0.1 from http://downloads.sourceforge.net/mingw/msysDTK-1.0.1.exe
- Run the EXE install and accept all the defaults
4. Installing GNUWin Support Packages
Download and install the following from gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages.html
- Bison, http://kent.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/gnuwin32/bison-2.1.exe
- zlib, http://kent.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/gnuwin32/zlib-1.2.3.exe
- Flex, http://kent.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/gnuwin32/flex-2.5.4a-1.exe
- GetText, http://kent.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/gnuwin32/gettext-0.14.4.exe
- Unzip, http://kent.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/gnuwin32/unzip-5.51-1.exe
Run each file and be sure to change the install directory to c:\MinGW
5. Update m4
- download from: http://downloads.sourceforge.net/mingw/m4-1.4.7-MSYS.tar.bz2
- untar and copy the m4.exe-file in the end of the path to C:\msys\1.0\bin
6. Update environment variables
The below is copied direct from http://www.mingw.org/wiki/HOWTO_Install_the_MinGW_GCC_Compiler_Suite#toc33
Environment Settings
When you install command line tools, such as MinGW, or GnuWin32 tools, you have to tell the command line interpreter where to find them; this is usually accomplished by adding the appropriate directory names to the PATH variable in your environment. Typically, it is your responsibility to do this; please do not expect the installer, (if you used one), to do it for you.
Warning: Adding entries to the PATH is normally benign. However, if you delete, you may mess up your PATH string, and you could seriously compromise the functioning of your computer. Please be careful.
- Right-click on "My Computer" and select "Properties".
- Click Advanced -> Environment Variables.
- In the box entitled "System Variables" scroll down to the line that says "PATH" and double-click the entry.
- You will be presented with a dialog box with two text boxes, the bottom text box allows you to edit the PATH variable. It is very important that you do not delete the existing values in the PATH string, this will cause all sorts of problems for you!
- Scroll to the end of the string and at the end add ";<installation-directory>\bin". Here <installation-directory> is the full absolute path name of the installation directory; if you accepted the defaults when installing tar and gzip, then for these, it will (probably) be C:\Program Files\GnuWin32, while for MinGW it will be C:\MinGW\bin, (if you kept to the recommended default installation directory). Don't forget the semicolon; this separates the entries in the PATH.
- press OK -> OK -> OK and you are done.
Set the environment variable HOME to C:\msys\1.0\home
7. Installing LibIconv
For iconv we are going to compile our own copy instead of installing from GNUWin.
Save the source in your C:\thesrc directory. Open up the MSYS terminal.
# cd /c/thesrc # tar xvfz libiconv-1.13.1.tar.gz # cd libiconv-1.13.1 # ./configure --prefix=/c/mingw # make # make install
Verify you are running the latest version of iconv
# iconv --version
8. Installing Autoconf, Automake and Libtool
Download the source code from the GNU site:
- http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/autoconf/autoconf-2.65.tar.gz
- http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/automake/automake-1.11.tar.gz
- http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/libtool/libtool-2.2.4.tar.gz
Save the packages in the c:\thesrc folder.
Launch the MSYS terminal from Start->Programs->MinGW->msys or from the desktop MSYS icon.
# cd /c/thesrc # ls
Now you will get the folders you have copied to the directory listed. The names of the folders will be different than in this example if you have newer releases of the tools. Configure, compile and install autoconf.
# tar xvfz autoconf-2.65.tar.gz # cd autoconf-2.65 # ./configure --prefix=/c/mingw # make # make install # autoconf --version
If it says you are running lower than 2.63, most likely you have another one installed in addition. Running the below will tell you which one it is picking up. {{ which autoconf }}} Now configure, compile and install automake.
# tar xvfz automake-1.11.tar.gz # cd automake-1.11 # ./configure --prefix=/c/mingw # make # make install
Now configure, compile and install libtool.
# tar xvfz libtool-2.2.4.tar.gz # cd libtool-2.2.4 # ./configure --prefix=/c/mingw # make # make install
9. Compiling PostgreSQL
Download latest PostgreSQL source and untar in C:\thesrc
# tar xvfz postgresql-8.4.1.tar.gz # cd postgresql-8.4.1 # ./configure --prefix=/c/postgres # make # make install
If you want to be able to do a full make check on PostGIS, Initialize the postgresql database cluster first. Note that we now have changed the install-directory from /c/MingW to /c/postgres.
PostgreSQL 8.3
If you are compiling PostgreSQL 8.3 and you get a compilation error like this:
e:/mingw/bin/../lib/gcc/mingw32/3.4.5/../../../../include/sspi.h:60: error: syntax error before SECURITY_STRING In file included from e:/mingw/bin/../lib/gcc/mingw32/3.4.5/../../../../include/security.h:39, from libpq-int.h:57, from fe-auth.h:18, from fe-auth.c:48: e:/mingw/bin/../lib/gcc/mingw32/3.4.5/../../../../include/ntsecpkg.h:123: error: syntax error before SECURITY_STRING
The solution is to edit two of the PostgreSQL source files, src/include/libpq/libpq-be.h and src/interfaces/libpq/libpq-int.h, and add a new line in them in the ENABLE_SSPI block:
#ifdef ENABLE_SSPI #define SECURITY_WIN32 #include <ntsecapi.h> <- Add this include line #include <security.h> #undef SECURITY_WIN32
You can read about this issue here and here.
PostgreSQL 8.4
The above problem has been fixed in PostgreSQL 8.4.
10. Compiling GEOS
Download latest GEOS source from http://trac.osgeo.org/geos/ either the http://download.osgeo.org/geos/geos-3.1.1.tar.bz2 or http://download.osgeo.org/geos/geos-svn.tar.bz2 .
# bzip2 -d -c geos-svn.tar.bz2 | tar xvf - # ./configure --prefix=/c/postgres # make # make install
To strip all the debug info weight from the libgeos DLL files, run
# strip /c/postgres/bin/libgeos-3-2-0.dll
If you are compiling the latest GEOS 3.2 (the SVN version), you may get an error because of a bug in MinGW. GEOS 3.2 is needed to take advantage of the new ST_Buffer enhancements in PostGIS 1.5+ and also some fixes for topology exceptions in intersects and intersection.
I had to comment out the lines as seen below, lines 159 and 166 in C:\MinGW\include\c++\3.4.5\cwchar (the same issue still exists under gcc 4.4.0)
//using ::swprintf; //using ::vswprintf;
Refer to this MinGW bug ticket and mailing list entry for more details.
If you are runnning gcc 4.4.0 and you get complaints about link g++ you probably need to do this too. Change
#library_names='libstdc++.dll.a' library_names='libstdc++.a'
As alluded to here.
11. Compiling Proj4
Download the latest Proj4 from the web site, and the datum shifts grid file.
- http://download.osgeo.org/proj/proj-4.6.1.tar.gz
- http://download.osgeo.org/proj/proj-datumgrid-1.5.zip
The datum grid file must be unzipped into the "nad" subdirectory of the Proj4 source tree.
# tar xvfz proj-4.6.1.tar.gz # cd proj-4.6.1 # cd nad # unzip ../../proj-datumgrid-1.5.zip # cd .. # ./configure --prefix=/c/postgres --enable-shared --disable-static --without-mutex # make # make install
Make the libproj.dll and make it dynamically linked
# cd /c/postgres/lib # gcc -shared -o libproj.dll -Wl,--out-implib=libproj.dll.a -Wl,--export-all-symbols -Wl,--enable-auto-import -Wl,--whole-archive libproj.a -Wl,--no-whole-archive /c/mingw/lib/libmingw32.a
12. Installing C-Unit
C-Unit is a testing framework, and is needed by PostGIS 1.4 and above to run the "make check" testing step.
- Download http://sourceforge.net/projects/cunit/files/CUnit/CUnit-2.1-0-winlib.zip
- Extract and copy contents to C:\MinGW
13. Compiling LibXML2
LibXML2 is only needed for PostGIS 1.5+, to support the ST_GeomFromGML function.
# tar xvfz libxml2-sources-2.7.6.tar.gz # ./configure --prefix=/c/postgres # make # make install
14. Compiling PostGIS
PostGIS 1.4
Download http://postgis.refractions.net/download/postgis-1.4.1.tar.gz and put in C:/thesrc
# tar xvfz postgis-1.4.1.tar.gz # cd postgis-1.4.1 # ./configure \ --prefix=/c/postgresql \ --with-pgconfig=/c/postgresql/bin/pg_config \ --with-geosconfig=/c/postgresql/bin/geos-config \ --with-projdir=/c/postgresql # export PATH=/c/postgres/bin:$PATH # make clean # make # make install # make check
If you run into problems with your build, pipe the output into a file for further analysis.
# make 2>&1 | tee /c/build.log
PostGIS 1.5
More to come here.
Installing into PostgreSQL
- Copy the following files into your Windows PostgreSQL lib folder
- C:\postgresql\lib\postgis-1.4.dll
- Copy the following files into your Windows PostgreSQL bin folder.
- C:\postgresql\bin\libgeos-3-1-1.dll
- C:\postgresql\bin\libgeos_c-1.dll
- C:\postgresql\bin\libproj.dll,
- C:\postgresql\bin\libiconv-2.dll
- C:\postgresql\bin\shp2pgsql.exe
- C:\postgresql\bin\pgsql2shp.exe
- Copy the proj datum shift files to the PostgreSQL share/contrib/postgis/proj
- Open PGAdmin and make a new database without any template
- Open a new query-window to your new database
- Run postgis.sql and spatial_ref_sys.sql from C:\postgresql\share\contrib\
Hopefully you now have a database running your recently compiled postgis.

Cultural Landscape
There exist a great variety of Landscapes that are representative of the different regions of the world. Combined works of nature and humankind, they express a long and intimate relationship between peoples and their natural environment.
Table of Contents
Certain sites reflect specific techniques of land use that guarantee and sustain biological diversity. Others, associated in the minds of the communities with powerful beliefs and artistic and traditional customs, embody an exceptional spiritual relationship of people with nature.
To reveal and sustain the great diversity of the interactions between humans and their environment, to protect living traditional cultures and preserve the traces of those which have disappeared, these sites, called cultural landscapes, have been inscribed on the World Heritage List.
Cultural landscapes -- cultivated terraces on lofty mountains, gardens, sacred places ... -- testify to the creative genius, social development and the imaginative and spiritual vitality of humanity. They are part of our collective identity.
To date, 82 properties with 4 transboundary properties (1 delisted property) on the World Heritage List have been included as cultural landscapes.
Czech Republic
Iran (Islamic Republic of)
Lao People's Democratic Republic
New Zealand
Papua New Guinea
Russian Federation
South Africa
Syrian Arab Republic
United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland
United States of America
History and Terminology
In 1992 the World Heritage Convention became the first international legal instrument to recognise and protect cultural landscapes. The Committee at its 16th session adopted guidelines concerning their inclusion in the World Heritage List.
The Committee acknowledged that cultural landscapes represent the "combined works of nature and of man" designated in Article 1 of the Convention. They are illustrative of the evolution of human society and settlement over time, under the influence of the physical constraints and/or opportunities presented by their natural environment and of successive social, economic and cultural forces, both external and internal.
The term "cultural landscape" embraces a diversity of manifestations of the interaction between humankind and its natural environment. Cultural landscapes often reflect specific techniques of sustainable land-use, considering the characteristics and limits of the natural environment they are established in, and a specific spiritual relation to nature. Protection of cultural landscapes can contribute to modern techniques of sustainable land-use and can maintain or enhance natural values in the landscape. The continued existence of traditional forms of land-use supports biological diversity in many regions of the world. The protection of traditional cultural landscapes is therefore helpful in maintaining biological diversity.
Categories and Subcategories
Cultural landscapes fall into three main categories (Operational Guidelines 2008, Annex3), namely:
The most easily identifiable is the clearly defined landscape designed and created intentionally by man. This embraces garden and parkland landscapes constructed for aesthetic reasons which are often (but not always) associated with religious or other monumental buildings and ensembles.
The second category is the organically evolved landscape. This results from an initial social, economic, administrative, and/or religious imperative and has developed its present form by association with and in response to its natural environment. Such landscapes reflect that process of evolution in their form and component features.
They fall into two sub-categories:
- a relict (or fossil) landscape is one in which an evolutionary process came to an end at some time in the past, either abruptly or over a period. Its significant distinguishing features are, however, still visible in material form.
- continuing landscape is one which retains an active social role in contemporary society closely associated with the traditional way of life, and in which the evolutionary process is still in progress. At the same time it exhibits significant material evidence of its evolution over time.
The final category is the associative cultural landscape. The inclusion of such landscapes on the World Heritage List is justifiable by virtue of the powerful religious, artistic or cultural associations of the natural element rather than material cultural evidence, which may be insignificant or even absent.

I just watched the video on the Dog House Camper and had a couple questions. 1. Windows - Good for ventilation but what to do during inclement weather to prevent rain/snow from entering? 2. It was said floor slides out for easy cleaning, but it didn't show how? 3. What needs to be done to make it Road Safe for towing behind our motor home? Thank you, | |||
This is a joke right.? | ||||
No, Not A Joke. | ||||
I watched it and since the dogs are inside dogs, I doubt they'll be out using it in bad weather. As to making it road worthy, it would require a lot of modifications including leaf springs and road worthy wheels and tires. The wheels on that are OK for a garden cart but not for long miles on the open road. I think you'd be better off getting one of these http://www.etrailer.com/Hitch-...msg7MCFQfonAoduFQAhg and carrying it rather than trying to make that design road worthy.

If in doubt check with your local codes enforcement department for what is required when doing electrical, plumbing or structural work on your house.

Already have that on the MH filled with cargo. Space is limited. Thought it was a cute idea and a great shelter in bad weather, guess I will just use a tent for them. | ||||
All righty then.... Harbor Freight has a trailer you can start with, they range from $200 to $400. Like this one.. http://www.harborfreight.com/1...and-tires-90153.html If you are interested in making the tear drop style trailer, plans can be found on the net or I can find some in the plans I have. You will have to compensate for the size difference. | ||||

This bed is one of the worst purchases I have ever made. We have had the bed for less than five months and it is already falling apart. The pressboard cross supports are unable to hold the weight of the mattress and two people. The bolts have torn through the support throwing the bed out of square and making the drawers inoperable. This makes me almost too nervous to sleep on it!Not to mention the drawers....the bottom of the drawers does not receive enough support from the back so the bottom tends to pop out under too much weight. This means you can only fill the drawer halfway full before the drawers start falling apart.Overall I would recommend spending more money to purchase a higher quality bed. This one will cause more problems than it is worth.
Be forewarned: this is a big heavy bed, even shipped divided out in 3 boxes. It is transported to the point of assembly much easier if you break those boxes and move the parts in many trips. An electric screwdriver or cordless drill is pretty much essential for this assembly. While not complicated -- this is familiar cam and lock, screws, nuts and bolts and nails, there are many parts and you should set aside a few hours with no interruptions or distractions. Once together, the bed is as advertised -- looks fine, not flashy but functional. The drawers operate smoothly and are a good use of space that would otherwise be lost. We use ours with the 14 inch memory foam mattress, and it's an excellent fit and match. A good bargain -- but plan this one out, have some time, and make your final decision on where you want this bed BEFORE you start assembling! Again, and as the boxes say: HEAVY.
At this point we are not to happy. Now that it is almost together, we can't get 3 of the drawers in, they won't line up, so this is a big problem. We've decided we'll have to take it partially apart to see if we can get them in.
have the same problems like other buyers... drawers dont line up.. i tried to switch them around to find the perfect spot.. now two drawers are not line up at all. The look is ok..
We ordered this platform bed with the 14" memory foam mattres and we love it. The drawers provide much needed storage space and also increase the height of the bed making it seem less like a "platform" bed. It was VERY easy to assemble although having two people certainly helps the process along. The only complaint I have about the bed is the rake. They have support bars that are supposed to keep the bed square (the corners at 90 degrees), but that is not always the case and if the bed is not sqaure, then the drawers have trouble opening up, that's why I gave workmanship a 3, if they could provide more stability, it wouldn't be an issue.
Very hard to put together! The screws are very hard to line up and it took a very long time to assemble it! BUT.. well worth it...very heavy! It's not going w/ us if we ever move...looks great with the espresso headboard!
we purchased this storage bed along with the head board and two night stands at the same time. I put the bed and headboard together in one night after work. All pieces fit and all screws there! I put the two night stands together the next night after work. One person assembled it so can be done alone. Looks great.. its very sturdy.. the drawers are large enough to meet my needs and my king size memory foam mattress fits in it perfectly! Great item.
I was so impressed with this Prepac product. It assembled easily and when fully put together it looks like a million bucks and sleeps like on a cloud. Weare so pleased with both Overstock.Com and Prepac.
It is what it is. It is particle board and cheap veneer. It doesn't look too bad with a bed and a comforter on. We needed a platform bed with storage and no headboard. This fits the bill. It came in pretty dinged up. As it was nearly a week late from the expected delivery date, and so massive i couldn't fathom going through the hassle of returning it, we lived with the dings. Once it was all put together, which took some time, a great deal of patience, and a moderate amount of swearing, (I recommend a friend and beer to ease the process.) you can't really see the numerous defects. It works. I was surprised that the drawers work as well as they do, so that is a bonus. I wouldn't store my paperweight collection in them, but they do just fine with scarves and gloves and spare t-shirts. It is cheap, you know it, that's why you're going to buy it. It looks exactly like every other piece of put-together particle board furniture you've ever owned.
So glad that we purchased this brand again. We upgraded to a king-size bed recently and needed a new one. Love the storage space. Looks great with the headboard!

Good Morning.
I have many return clients but the Bristol lads were the first group to return for trip three. Their first trip was March 2012. They came back in October last year, and re-booked during that time to do a ten day trip in May of this year. In fact they like the holiday I provide so much, they have re-booked another ten day trip in November later this year.
I will be taking bookings from the begininning of October up until the middle of December this year. I caught my 46lb common in late December and it does fish really well all year round.
I took the Bristol lads to a spot I know is good when the water level is high – a nice secluded bay. It already had anglers present – a rarity on a Monday morning, so we moved further round to the entrance to the bay and found a great stretch that looked even better. I had fished here in March of this year in fact.
I kitted the boys out with the usual kit but new SKS landing nets from Sonik were given to each angler. They were soon in their swim of choice and the Uber trailer was soon set up and the first 'big sandwich' lunch was being prepared. I gave the lads 15kg of Vitalbaits Krill-am boilies to start with in three sizes from 14-24mm. They also were given a large 15kg bucket of freshly prepared particle.
After they had picked their fishing spots, some recommended by myself, I left them to decide on their distance and to walk out the rods to the same distances. I did also suggest they try a long range rod in the daytime too as the fish do often move or pass through, in deeper water.
The boys decided to have a little competition amongst themselves. I wasn't fishing as I have more than enough to do with three clients on the bank. There were six prizes up for grabs all worth 10 euros each, so henry was pleased when he had the first carp of the trip which was a 22lb 14oz common. No-one could take that prize away from him.
Over the next few days Henry and Paul B had a few more fish with Paul taking a lovely mirror of 23lbs. Paul H was having a little difficulty keeping his carp on his hook though and his first four carp were sadly dropped. Fortunately his luck was to change as he changed his tactics slightly. Using a hinge rig with a bright orange tutti pop-up, and a larger hook, he soon had his first fish on the bank. His third fish was the first thirty of the trip and a beautiful mirror weighing 30lb 11oz.
Paul H was soon catching Henry who had gone into a healthy lead. Henry's swim seemed to temporarily go off the boil, and Paul took full advantage.
The fish kept coming, but the lads did lose a lot of fish. They know it, and they know I know it. Some were down to being too slow to react to the fish, some were from being too slow to get to the take, and some were down to inexperience. When a fish wants line and there are no dangers or snags, you let the fish have line. Having clutches set properly, and using your legs to walk as you play the carp, are all important factors in the winning the battle.
Needless to say – the boys do come to Brava for a holiday, and the fishing is the bonus aspect of that holiday. Paul H took five of the prizes including total weight, most fish, biggest mirror, biggest common, and smallest carp. Paul H had been leading the total weight competition for three days up until the final morning, when Henry caught a precious 20lb 10oz mirror. Henry was now only 4oz's ahead of Paul H with four minutes to go.Paul H then had a drop back from his long range spot and landed a 16lb 8oz common taking back the title.
Their final tally of fish was 37 fish to 35lbs. They should really have caught about 50 fish but maybe they will redeem their losses when they return in November for their fourth holiday with Sierra Brava Dreams.
The lads opted for the chauffeur (complete with cold lager onboard) transfer option, from and to Madrid airport. They stayed in my house on night one, as they arrived very late, and we were on the lake by 10am the next morning. Most of the fish were caught in the morning or throughout the daytime. None of the fish were caught in the hours of darkness. We fished the final night and stopped fishing at 11.30am and were off the lake by 12pm.
Back soon with another report.

Anonymous surfing with Tor and Privoxy
Internet users typically reveal their IP addresses, and this lets companies compile a profile of your Internet activities. Tor and Privoxy can help protect your privacy.
The epidemic of Internet-based market research continues: many companies routinely investigate their customers' Internet surfing habits – a cheap and transparent form of spying. And in some repressive countries, the government may even be watching where you surf. Privoxy [1] and Tor [2] puts the spies off your trail. A browser typically talks directly to a remote target, most commonly a website, and the web server that hosts the site logs the corresponding access data. The Tor client prevents your requests from going directly to the target; instead the requests are forwarded via a proxy running on your home machine through a number of nodes to a so-called exit node, which then talks to the target machine (Figure 1). The server version of Tor acts as one of the intermediate nodes in the chain. The name "Tor" is an acronym for The Onion Router. Private users will more typically run Tor as a client, commonly known as an the Onion Proxy.

Okay, so I'm trying to install (from the Live CD) Sabayon 10 KDE 32-bit on a relatively old PC, and I've noticed that the graphical installer is extremely, abnormally, slow.
After the basic Fluxbox desktop appears on the screen, it takes about 15 minutes for the installer to actually appear (during this time the CD drive and HDD lights aren't even blinking).
Then when I choose the type storage device (basic or specialised) and click the "next" button, it freezes for about 25 more minutes. After the next step, a small box appears, saying "Finding storage devices" and that takes about 35 minutes.
Then finally, when I choose the partition to install to and click the button to write the changes to disk, another box appears and it says that it is writing the changes to the disk. So far it has been going for over 1.5 hours and neither the HDD light or the DVD Drive light are blinking (i.e. it appears there is no HDD or disk activity)
Earlier I tried the text-based installer but it doesn't allow me to edit the HDD partitioning options, so I just rebooted without installing and jumped into the graphical installer. The text-based installer does not take hours to perform certain steps as opposed to the graphical installer.
I ran the graphical installer with xdriver=nv as it doesn't work without it.
Is it supposed to be this slow, or is it just broken? If I press the reset button on the PC, would it kill my HDD if it turns out that it was in the process of formatting?
If I can't get this to install by the end of the day I won't even bother with Sabayon anymore in the future, which is a shame because it's a nice OS.
Update: It's creating the file system on the disk, but the dialog box is frozen and I can't see any progress indicator. HDD light is still not blinking. I'll keep updating this as it goes.
Update 2: Creating device /dev/sdb2. Still no HDD light, so I have no bloody idea if it's working or not.
Update 3: Creating physical volume (LVM) on /dev/sdb2, and no HDD light. I'm at a loss as to what to do. Will I screw it up if I hit the reset button?
Okay, so I think it is indeed progressing, but at such an extremely slow pace I fear it may take many, many hours. Worryingly, the HDD light is still not blinking (only very rarely) which suggests that it isn't using the PC resources to its full potential... one of the worst installers I have ever used.
Update 4: Installing now, after 3 hours
