Optioned RHP Jake Arrieta to Triple-A Norfolk. [4/22] After 62 starts spread over parts of four seasons it's time to ask: When do you move Arrieta to the bullpen? The 27-year-old heads to Norfolk as the big-league leader in walks issued, having granted 16 free passes in 19 innings. Arrieta is a big, physical guy with a pair of good fastballs and the ability to maintain his velocity deep into games. Unfortunately, his command and control leave everyone wanting. There's probably a good reason why the O's have abstained from throwing Arrieta in the bullpen—perhaps he can't warm up quick enough, or they can't bring themselves to give up on his starting days—after all, this is the club that moved Brian Matusz to relief in a hurry. For now it's worth asking the question. Starting just isn't working.

For more than 50 years our nation has honored teachers with the National Teacher of the Year Program. The National Teacher of the Year Program, sponsored by the ING Foundation, is a project of the Council of Chief State School Officers. Since 1970, North Carolina has participated in this program recognizing outstanding teachers. The North Carolina Department of Public Instruction, along with its sponsors, administers the program at the state level.
In accordance with national guidelines, North Carolina chooses a candidate who is "dedicated and highly skilled, a candidate proven capable of inspiring students of all backgrounds and abilities to learn." Because the State Teacher of the Year will be asked to travel, speak on behalf of education and demonstrate master teaching skills, the candidate must be poised, articulate, and energetic in order to meet the demanding responsibilities.
The program recognizes teachers at the school, local, regional and statewide levels. After Individuals are chosen to represent their respective school as Teacher of the Year, they advance to compete at the local district level. Once that selection has been made, district Teachers of the Year vie for one-of-eight North Carolina Regional Teacher of the Year honors. Simultaneously, representatives from the public charter schools are screened to determine the Charter School Teacher of the Year, and the charter school designee is the ninth finalist who moves to the final phase of the state selection process.
After a series of relevant screening activities, the State Teacher of the Year is chosen by a committee consisting of professional educators as well business and community leaders. The State Teacher of the Year and the other Regional Finalists form a collaborative network to provide ongoing professional development and support throughout the state on critical issues facing public education.
In the 40 years of the program in North Carolina, three State Teachers of the Year have become National winners. Four have become National Finalists and one has been inducted into the National Teachers' Hall of Fame. Fourteen North Carolina Teachers of the Year have taught at the elementary school level, eight at the middle or junior high school level and twenty-one at the high school level.

I give the beauty of the park a 10, management a 1. Probably one of the prettiest parks I have ever been in, but my family and several others had bad experiences with the management. We felt as if they were lurking in the bushes waiting to bust us for every little thing, very strict. Kids can't even ride on the sidewalks with their bikes or walk in the grass next to the office. No towels can be hung on chairs. Felt very uncomfortable the entire time, we won't go back.

Looks like this is even better than the Canon 400mm f5.6 L USM at the same 400mm f5.6
AND it is a zoom that goes all the way from 150 to 600 at the same time as having higher IQ.
Wow, and only $1069
AF speed also seems to be much faster than the Sigma 150-500 HSM.
Love to see this DxO Marked. Glad Sigma and Tamron are forcing Canon and Nikon to get off their ASSets

Jack. I like Jacob, but I love Jack, and I quite strongly dislike (okay, hate) Jake. It just doesn't sound appealing to me at all.
Samuel. At the moment. I adore Daniel, and in general, that's probably my favorite of the two, but I like Samuel for a FN more, and Daniel for a MN.
Alexander. I like the feel of Adam, and the ties I have to it (my best friend in high school was an Adam), but I prefer Alexander for a name I would actually use (plus, Jack, Samuel, and Alexander would be fab for brothers!).
Freddie. LOVE Freddie; don't see the appeal of Alfie. I would use Alfred, just to get to Freddie, haha.
Matthew. I love Joseph, but I like Matthew much more.
Charlie! The only Connor I've known is frankly awful, so I can't even consider it. I love Charlie, though; Charles nn Charlie is on my top 10.
Isaac. I like Oliver, but I don't love it. And I've really been loving Isaac lately! I love the Biblical namesake, and the meaning! Plus, Isaac's just a really cool, really fun name.
Thomas. Harry just seems too nicknamey for me. I like Henry or Harrison much more.
Russell. I think. It's a family name that I've always liked as a middle, but I like Reuben, too (probably because my mom loves Reuben sandwiches, haha. And they're totally not just a Canadian thing.
William. I like Nathan better for a FN; William seems sort of boring up front to me, but I love William in general--it's so classic and handsome and regal. Such a lovely name. And it goes so well with some of the others--Jack, Samuel, Alexander, Freddie/Frederick, Thomas, Russell, William, Isaac... I really love them all together.Lise

Jack or Jake/Jacob - Jacob, by a long way. I find the name Jack is sooooo dull. I've never understood its popularity.
Samuelor Daniel - Samuel
Alexander or Adam - Love both of these names, but Adam is a little more unexpected, so it just wins
Alfie or Freddie - I'm not keen on either, but Freddie just has the edge (I know a cat called Alfie, so I find it hard to picture on a person!)
Matthew or Joseph - Tough one. Voting for Joseph, but only because I know a lot of Matt's
Charlie or Connor - Connor, although it's not my favourite on the list
Oliver or Isaac - Isaac
Harry or Thomas - Thomas
Reuben or Russell - Russell
Nathan or William - William, but I really like Nathan too.

"The product was awesome, we didn't need to really change anything, what we needed to do was introduce it to more dealers and we did that," Mouw said. "At our first dealer conference we sold 80 units our first weekend, which was more business [than employees] had seen in years."
Mouw said the business model has changed entirely. "It's really mushroomed," he said.
Almost Heaven Saunas can be found on websites including Costco and Cabela's. Saunas sell through direct sales to customers, international accounts and at trade shows both internationally and throughout the United States.
The saunas -- which range in price from almost $4,000 to $12,000 -- are sold in a number of designs but the Renick-based company is known for its barrel design.
The circular sauna is made of western Canadian red cedar, which doesn't decay and is soft, Alderman said.
Almost Heaven Saunas has always been known for a quality, handcrafted product, but Mouw has been the exact salesman the company needed to pick up sales again, said Jonathan Alderman, an employee of five years.
"Rick has been the backbone of our company," Alderman said as he sanded a sauna door. "[The product] wouldn't go out if we didn't build them but they wouldn't sell if Rick wasn't such a great salesman."
Darrell Alderman, Jonathan Alderman's uncle, agreed.
"We have always had a reputation of producing a quality product but as far as the increase in sales and exposure, I got to hand it to Rick," Darrell Alderman said. "The change in marketing was an evolution in improvements."
The company's most recent change is the introduction of the Blue Ridge Sauna, an indoor-only sauna that is a square design.
Mouw said he challenged his eight employees, including Darrell Alderman -- who came up with the design -- to create a sauna specifically for indoors.
Darrell Alderman's design features multi-level benches -- "a biggie in a sauna because if you want to be in hotter air, you sit on a taller bench," he said. The Blue Ridge sauna launched Dec. 21 and they are already sold out, Mouw said.
Almost Heaven Saunas offered the Blue Ridge sauna special only on Costco's website. The Internet "has been huge for" the company, but more for brand awareness than sales, Mouw said.
Mouw said he is confident about Almost Heaven Saunas' future. He will continue to market the "saunas that sell themselves" internationally, too. The company has scheduled trade shows this year in Brazil, Canada and Spain.

Scuola Romana
Scuola romana or Scuola di via Cavour was a 20th-century art movement defined by a group of painters within Expressionism and active in Rome between 1928 and 1945, and with a second phase in the mid-1950s.
Birth of the Movement[edit]
In November 1927, artists Antonietta Raphaël and Mario Mafai[1] move to No. 325 of Roman street via Cavour, in a Savoyan palace subsequently demolished in 1930 in order to allow the fascist construction of the New Empire Way (currently the via dei Fori Imperiali). The apartment's larger room is transformed into a studio.
Within a short time, this studio becomes a meeting point for literati such as Enrico Falqui, Giuseppe Ungaretti, Libero de Libero, Leonardo Sinisgalli, as well as young artists Scipione, Renato Marino Mazzacurati,[2] and Corrado Cagli.
Contraposition to the sensitivity of the Return to Order Movement[edit]
From start, this spontaneous confluence of artists at the via Cavour studio does not appear to be led by true and proper programmes or manifestos, but rather by friendship, cultural syntheses and a singular pictorial cohesion. With their firm approach to European expressionism, they formally contrapose the solid and orderly painting of neoclassic character, promoted by the socalled Return to order current of the 1920s, particularly strong in the Italian sensitivity of post-World War II.
The first identification of this artistic group should be attributed to Roberto Longhi, who writes:[3]
From its very address, I'd call this the Scuola di via Cavour, where Mafai and Raphaël used to work...
and adds:
An eccentric and anarchoid art that could hardly be accepted by us, but it's all the same a notable sign of today's mores.
Longhi uses this definition precisely because he wishes to indicate the special work these artists are performing within the expressionist universe, breaking off from official art movements.[4]
During those years, painter Corrado Cagli too uses the appellative of Scuola romana.[5] His critique does not linger on name identification for the "nuovi pittori romani (new Roman painters)" canimating this new movement. Cagli describes a spreading sensitivity and speaks of an Astro di Roma (Roman Star), affirming that is the real poetic basis of the "new Romans" :
In a primordial dawn all has to be reconsidered, and Imagination relives all wonders and trembles for all mysteries.
thus highlighting the complex and articulated Roman situation, as opposed to what Cagli called the imperating Neoclassicism of the Novecento Italiano. The Scuola romana offers a wild painting style, expressive and disorderly, violent and with warm ochre and maroon tones. The formal rigour is replaced by a distinctly expressionist visionariness.[6]
Scipione, for instance, brings to life a sort of Roman baroque expressionism, where often decadent landscapes appear of Rome's historical baroque centre, populated by priests and cardinals, seen with a vigorously expressive and hallucinated eye. Similar themes will be present in Raffaele Frumenti's paintings in the Second Season of the Scuola, with vivid red hues and soft brush strokes.
Second Season of the Scuola Romana[edit]
After 1930, instead of dying out due its major representatives' death (i.e., Scipione, Mafai and wife Antonietta Raphaël), the Scuola Romana continued with various other artists of a "second season", which developed during the 1930s and matured soon after World War II. Among them Roberto Melli, Renato Marino Mazzacurati, Guglielmo Janni, Renzo Vespignani and the socalled tonalists led by Corrado Cagli, Carlo Levi, Emanuele Cavalli and Capogrossi, all gravitating around the activities of the "Galleria della Cometa".[7]
Later members include personalities such as Fausto Pirandello (son of Nobel Prize Luigi),[8] Renato Guttuso, the brothers Afro and Mirko Basaldella,[9] Leoncillo Leonardi, Raffaele Frumenti, Sante Monachesi, Giovanni Omiccioli and Toti Scialoja.[10]
Museum of the Scuola Romana[edit]
The Villa Torlonia in Rome hosts, in its classic "Casino Nobile", the renowned Museums of Villa Torlonia,[11] part of the Museum System of the Comune di Roma: on its 2nd floor one can visit the Museum of the Scuola Romana, offering a comprehensive view of this art movement, deemed one of the most interesting and captivating movements in the vital Roman figurative research of the 20th century.

Episode(s) | 7.13 The Slice Girls 7.14 Plucky Pennywhistle's Magical Menagerie (mentioned) |
After their ranks were decimated in a long war, the Amazons made a deal with the goddess Harmonia. She made them stronger, and gave them the ability to reproduce quickly. The Amazon women could give birth 36 hours after having sex, and the children matured rapidly, becoming a teenager within 3 days. The girl then had to kill the man who'd fathered her, removing his hands & feet and carving an Amazonian symbol on his chest. Every two years, women of child bearing age would repeat the cycle.
The children were raised by Amazonian elders and taught to endure pain, and dispense it. One of their rituals involved consuming the flesh of a dead father. They were also branded with the sign of the Amazons on the inside of their wrist.
This round of breeding is taking place in Seattle. Previous rounds have occurred in Chicago and also in Miami.
Powers and Abilities
- They possessed superhuman strength.
- They quickly age into their adulthood.
- Any type of weaponry.
7.13 The Slice Girls
In Seattle, the Amazons are breeding, leaving in their wake four dead men in two weeks with their hands and feet removed and an Amazonian symbol carved in their chest. Sam and Dean consult a local anthropologist Professor Morrison, for help interpreting it. While investigating, Dean takes time out at the Cobalt Room, where he meets Lydia, and they end up back at her place and have sex. When Dean returns the next day to retrieve his hip flask, he finds that Lydia has a baby called Emma, which he thinks he hears speaking like an adult. Dean stakes out Lydia's place, and later sees her hand over a young girl, who she also calls Emma, to Madeline. Emma is taken to a building where being she indoctrinated into the Amazon ways with other young girls.
Charlene Penn, the detective supposedly investigating the murders, is also an Amazon who informs Madeline that the Winchesters are on their trail. Madeline orders the death of Sam, along with Dean.
Based on Professor Morrison's information that the symbol is that of the Amazons, with some further research, conclude that Dean may have fathered Lydia's child Emma. Finding a Greek text, Sam takes it to Professor Morrison who interprets it to read that it is the daughters who kill the men who fathered them. As Sam leaves, Detective Penn confronts and attacks him, but Sam kills her.
Emma finds Dean, telling him she is running away from the Amazons, but actually intending to kill him. When Dean hesitates, suggesting she could actually leave them, Sam arrives and shoots her.
When Dean and Sam return to the building where the Amazons were based, they have disappeared.
7.14 Plucky Pennywhistle's Magical Menagerie
After speaking with Frank Devereaux regarding new leads on Dick Roman, Dean asks Sam if had found any new information about the whereabouts of the Amazons.
Amazons in Lore
Amazons were tribe of female warriors in Greek myth who were thought to live in Central Asia or North Africa. Legends said that they mated with other tribes to preserve their race, but kept only female infants. They were said to amputate their right breasts so that they could shoot better with bow and arrows. Later historians claimed that the Amazons were a tribe of men and women in which both sexes fought in battles. Herodotus claimed that no Amazon woman could marry until she had killed a man.[1] One famous queen of the Amazons was Hippolyta; Hercules in his Twelve Labors was commanded to steal her girdle. [2] In DC Comics' Wonder Woman, Hippolyta is the mother of Diana, also known as the superhero Wonder Woman.

Wednesday Sept 9 Startup continued. MiniBooNE took beam when it was available. During the day shift, MiniBooNE users took beam until 12:30 PM when a Main Injector (MI) access to check vacuum equipment inhibited their beam. This access lasted throughout the day shift. Tevatron (TeV) cool down and accesses continued. During the evening shift, the MI access finished early in shift, but MiniBooNE beam was held off due to a Linac/Booster energy matching problem until 10 PM. After the MI access a power supply ramp was established. TeV power supply checkouts lasted late into the evening shift. Thursday Sept 10 Startup continued. MiniBooNE took beam when it was available. During the midnight shift, MiniBooNE users took beam smoothly until 6:30 AM when MI was prepared for an access to remove vacuum equipment. MI, Pbar, and TeV power supplies were monitored throughout the shift. During the day shift, MI was off for TeV safety system tests until 1 PM. 8 GeV beam was established in MI by 2 PM and 120 GeV beam followed shortly afterwards. Beam was established in Recycler by 3:30 PM. MiniBooNE users took beam from 1 PM on; they were held off earlier by the MI access. During the evening shift, beam was established to the Antiproton Source (Pbar) Accumulator by 6 PM, and tuning continued on MI and Recycler beam as well throughout the shift. The TeV bus was powered by 5:30 PM with power supply checkouts lasting throughout the rest of the evening. MiniBooNE users took beam throughout the shift. Friday Sept 11 Startup continues. MiniBooNE took beam when it was available. During the midnight shift, Recycler and Pbar were left with a circulating proton beam throughout the midnight shift. The Tevatron sat with no beam, but current on its bus. MiniBooNE users took beam until 6 AM, which was when the MI-8 line studies began. The Plans for Friday and the Weekend MI will continue to tune and hopefully send beam to NuMI and TeV later today. The weekend will consist of tuning on all machines. |

I can't imagine anyone depriving themselves any gadgets before they sleep. It has become a lifestyle.
Literally saying, i even sleep next to my phone.

3. eisenbricher (Posts: 962; Member since: 09 Aug 2012)
True in every aspect, but I can't give up on gadgets, they are my life! I'd rather prefer living 60yrs with them, instead of 80yrs without 'em.

I heard that even people who sleep with there phones especially iPhone next to them or under the pillow can cause brain damages due to radioactive waves and iPhones produce way more then any other phone on the planet so be careful guys
8. ibap (Posts: 669; Member since: 09 Sep 2009)
mr.techdude - not much of a techdude. Radiowaves - maybe. "radioactive waves" - not
And if you're going to caution about that - guys, don't put them in your jeans pocket either. Think what else it might damage.
"way more then" - ?

Hehe I use my phone at night to go to phonearena.com! No I'm not being sarcastic it's true :P
10. fervid (Posts: 171; Member since: 22 Nov 2011)
I usually fall asleep using my phone, so I don't have an issue with sleep after.
11. The_Innovation (Posts: 523; Member since: 18 Jul 2012)
It's simple, firstly, put it on vibrate, and second, don't leave it right next to you when you sleep, put it on your computer desk which is next to your bed. Soon as you wake up in the morning you will grab it. This way, when you wake up sometimes late at night for no reason, you'll be lazy to actually get up and grab your phone, since it won't be in your hands reach.
13. Jyakotu (Posts: 813; Member since: 12 Dec 2008)
I usually use my phone at night as well, but I usually use my phone at night to get the battery low enough so I can put it on the charger at night.

Man who doesnt like to look at porn before going to sleep? Night time usage will never end for me :p

Come on I always log in to Rage of bahamut before I go to sleep it actually helps me fall asleep.
17. downphoenix (Posts: 2134; Member since: 19 Jun 2010)
I need to start reading in bed more. I do find it hard to fall asleep sometime. Maybe get off the PC about 30 minutes or so before bed and spend time on a book or magazine before bed.
18. atsamman (Posts: 72; Member since: 26 Sep 2012)
I like watching movies on my tablet before going to sleep but actually I sleep an average of 8 hours is what i am doing still wrong?

Every morning at 11:45, NBC News officials hold a conference call with their counterparts at sister networks to sort through stories of interest.

When she was just 5 years old, Vaddey Ratner's comfortable and protected life as the child of an aristocratic Cambodian family came to an abrupt end, as Khmer Rouge soldiers entered the capital, Phnom Penh. They banged on the gates of the family compound and ordered them to leave — it was the start of the Khmer Rouge reign of terror, which left hundreds of thousands of Cambodians dead, including all of Ratner's family except her mother.

I'm sure you've already noticed — from the parades, the fact that your mail hasn't been arriving, and the way everyone gets the week off of work — but this is Shark Week, when the Discovery Channel generates a week of shark-themed programming. (Tonight: Sharkzilla, which is, surprisingly enough, not a SyFy movie, and the Mythbusters shark special.) (Trivia: Did you know the decorative shark that is traditionally displayed on or near Discovery's Silver Spring, Md. headquarters to celebrate this special week is named "Chompy"?
A recipe for bacon s'mores has been making its way around the Internet today, prompting many people to wonder how they hadn't thought of it before. It was probably like this when a caveman first figured out the wheel and put something about it on his blog.

Press ReleaseNew Multi-Use Trail System Opens at Forever Wild Splinter Hill Bog Complex in Baldwin CountyJanuary 09, 2013 The Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (ADCNR) State Lands Division has opened a multi-use trail system at the Forever Wild Splinter Hill Bog Complex located in north Baldwin County. The Pitcher Plant Loop Multi-Use Trail System is more than four miles in length and is open to hikers, mountain bikers, and horseback riders. The trail system is directional with all traffic flowing counter-clockwise and is accessible from both the west and east parking lots of the Splinter Hill Bog Complex.
The Splinter Hill Bog Complex is comprised of pitcher plant bogs, rolling hills, and longleaf pine savannas, and is a great place for adventure seekers of all levels. Located near Rabun, Ala., the Splinter Hill Bog Complex was purchased by the Forever Wild Land Trust in September 2003 as a nature preserve and recreation area to offer outdoor opportunities to the public such as hiking, biking, horseback riding and hunting.
In early spring, visitors can expect to see the beautiful, umbrella-shaped flowers of several pitcher plant species including the hooded, trumpet, white-topped and parrot pitcher plants. Late spring and summer usher in the emergence of more pitcher plants and the blooming of many wildflowers, including several examples from the orchid family. The fall is equally beautiful with the blooming of many species of Aster, which serve as a host for several butterfly species.
Directions: From I-65, take exit 45 (Perdido/Rabun). Go west on Baldwin County Road approximately 1.3 miles to the parking lot on the right or travel 0.1 miles to Splinter Hill Road. Turn right on Splinter Hill Road and travel approximately 0.4 miles to the parking lot on the left across from Turberville Lane.
Trailhead Parking Lot Coordinates:
County Road 47 Splinter Hill Road
For more information about the Forever Wild Splinter Hill Bog Complex and its outdoor opportunities, click here.
Other Forever Wild recreational projects are scheduled to open in 2013 including an 11-mile hiking trail located at the Coosa County Wildlife Management Area (January 2013), and an 11.6-mile multi-use trail system at the Old Cahawba Prairie Tract located in Dallas County (February 2013). Tentatively scheduled for the fall of 2013 is a 12-mile trail at the Walls of Jericho Tract located in Jackson County.
The Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources promotes wise stewardship, management and enjoyment of Alabama's natural resources through five divisions: Marine Police, Marine Resources, State Lands, State Parks, and Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries.

text: The Top High-Mileage Cars to Beat Rising Gas Prices Prices at the pump just keep going up. But here at PM, we've driven plenty of cars over the past few years with the mpg chops to survive pricey petrol. And though we've been impressed with cars like the Ford Fusion Hybrid and the Nissan Leaf EV, our list shows that you can buy a standard engine and still get great mileage. These are our favorite fuel-sippers, along with the mpg (or range, in the case of the Leaf) that PM test drivers recorded during our test drives.

With the Volt, Chevrolet is intent on squelching those fears. When its 16-kilowatt-hour battery pack becomes depleted, the car automatically switches to a gas enginea transition that is remarkably smooth (it's nearly impossible to discern on the road). And while the Volt may not be as fun to drive in the conventional sense as, say, a Corvette, there's still a sense of occasion behind the wheel. It is smoother and quieter than a Cadillac, plus in-dash screens add the gee-whiz element of revealing the car's inner workings. For a plug-in series hybrid, there's a lot of hardwarea gas engine, a large battery and electric motorsand clever ideas under the hood, pushing the price to $41,000 ($33,500 after the federal subsidy), a princely sum for a small car. But the Volt is more than the sum of its cutting-edge parts: It's a dramatic reinvention of the great American car, without sacrificing the great American road trip.

The country that gave us the delightfully free-flowing concept of Total Football, and reached two FIFA World Cup™ Finals employing it in the 1970s, are towing a line far more practical these days in South Africa. "We're thrilled to have maximum points from two games," Dirk Kuyt, the Netherlands forward, told FIFA.com after their 1-0 win over Japan in Durban on Saturday.
That victory took the Oranje to the top of Group H, but was short on the kind of style and elegance historically associated with the 1988 European champions, producers of such showy icons as Johan Cruyff, Ruud Gullit and Marco van Basten. "It would be great to score bags of goals and play flowing football all the time, but if you gave me the choice between points and style, I would take the points every day," continued Kuyt, the Liverpool striker whose work rate has no equal at these finals.
Sacrificing panache and "sexy football" – a term Gullit himself famously coined – the Dutch have yet to concede a goal in South Africa and are playing a disciplined brand of football almost incongruous with their trademark orange jerseys. "Patience, not flair, I think this is the main strength of this team," said young forward Eljero Elia, who came off the bench against Japan. After a match that produced only two shots on goal in the first half, and was settled by a single goal from Wesley Sneijder, Elja's theory certainly seems on the mark.
"I don't think we played badly in either of our games," veteran captain Giovanni van Bronckhorst added to FIFA.com. "Of course we can play better and with better rhythm, but even though we're not playing our best right now, we're still winning games. This is the sign of a strong team, with strong character." Nigel de Jong – the side's eager and imposing midfield enforcer – echoed the general consensus, saying: "Football is about winning, getting points, it doesn't matter how you get them."
The Netherlands opened their campaign with a 2-0 win over Denmark, a game in which both their goals were fortuitous. The evidence of their follow-up meeting with Japan is that Bert van Marwijk's men are serious about doing whatever they need to do to get it right after so often being the nearly men of world football.
"Two games, six points, this is what you want," said Kuyt outside the team's changing room at the Moses Mabhida Stadium, where a boisterous orange-clad brass band continued to play in the stands a full hour after the final whistle. "We controlled the game and waited patiently for our chances to come. This is the World Cup and every opponent is tough. Control and patience are the keys for us," concluded Kuyt, happy to have the carnival out in the stands and not on the pitch.

Moon 3D / Moon 3D Free
Version: 2.8
Moon 3D started a year ago on Windows Phone. It now has more than 160,000 downloads and an average global rating of 4.5 (3000 reviews).
Moon 3D still calculates and displays the current moon phase - this hasn't changed. But it got some new nice features.
What makes Mood 3D different from other moon phase apps in the marketplace is that it uses a 3D model of the moon that lets you even rotate the moon to see the far side of the moon. You may ask: what is it good for? Well, it's just fun and it looks cool.
And another nice feature is the design editor. It lets you change and select the foreground and background images and all the colors and info that you like to be shown. There are some predefined designs to choose from, too (e.g. somean animated winter scene and an animated background).
The freshly updated version (v 2.8) is available now. It comes in a free ad-supported and in a paid version for $2.49.
- Shows the current phase of the moon
- Calculates the rise and set times of the moon and sun for a given day
- In the calendar view you can see at a glance when there is a Full Moon or a New Moon this month
- Explore Mode: you can rotate the moon, zoom-in to explore its surface
- Built-in compass function, that shows you the current position of the moon
- Apogee / perigee of the moon
Supported languages: Dutch, English, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Polish, Russian, Spanish

Last edited by Alex_JS; 07-26-2013 at 05:19 PM. Reason: Version 2.8
I have to agree. This is one of my favourite apps which I've been using for a while.
Actually, the app is very feature rich and nothing should be taken out. However, one important feature you may want to consider would be the addition of tidal information. That would be very useful for fishermen and others that need to know when the next high and low tides will be. I only mention this because the tides are linked to the phases of the moon.
Once again though, it's a great app and well worth the asking price. - 02-04-2013, 12:04 AM #6

Post Office Oak
For 22 years (1825 - 1847) this massive Bur Oak tree served as an "unofficial post office" as passing west-bound wagon trains would drop mail destined for the eastern US in a natural cache at the base of this tree. East-bound travelers would, as a courtesy, pick up the deposited mail and carry it to some eastern destination having an official US Post Office where the mail would be "officially" dispatched. East-bound travelers also took advantage of this "temporary" post office and deposited their western-headed mail for the next wagon train going that direction to pick up and take to their destination.

Ninth Circuit Clarifies TCPA Ruling, Denies Rehearing
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit Dec. 28 denied panel and en banc rehearing in a case exploring whether so-called skip-tracing is covered by the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, 47 U.S.C. § 227 (Meyer v. Portfolio Recovery Associates LLC, 9th Cir., No. 11-56600, 12/28/12).
The TCPA makes it unlawful for any person to use an "automatic telephone dialing system" to call cellphone numbers. Skip-tracing is the process of developing new telephone, address, job, or asset information, or verifying the accuracy of that information. In October, the Ninth Circuit upheld a district court's preliminary injunction barring a debt collector from using an autodialer to place calls to cellphone numbers it developed through skip-tracing and upheld the district court's provisional class certification in the case ( 696 F.3d 943 (9th Cir. 2012)). In that opinion, the circuit court rejected the debt collector's argument that individualized issues of consent precluded class certification. In the amended opinion, the court noted that the debt collector "did not show a single instance where express consent was given before the call was placed."

Build a Skype Server for Your Home Phone System
I'll assume that because you're a Linux Journal reader, getting Fedora Core 3 up and running on your Skype server is a no-brainer. The only important thing to remember is that Skype is a Qt application (though it's also available in a version with Qt statically linked), and the Skype API uses D-BUS. Also, disable the screensaver (after all, there won't be any screen to "save") and power standby features as these may interfere with Skype.
Here's a step-by-step guide to setting up Linux to work with Skype (it assumes you have set up a Linux user account named skype for the purpose):
With your Skype server powered off, plug your Skype-to-Phone adapter in to your server using a USB cable and, for test purposes, connect its TEL socket to a regular phone handset.
Power up the server and log in to Linux as skype.
Download and install Skype for Linux. If you don't install from an RPM, you will have to add this file by hand, /etc/dbus-1/system.d/skype.conf:
<!DOCTYPE busconfig PUBLIC "-//freedesktop//DTD D-BUS Bus Configuration 1.0//EN" "http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/dbus/1.0/busconfig.dtd"> <busconfig> <!- skype.conf --> <policy context="default"> <allow own="com.Skype.API"/> <allow send_destination="com.Skype.API"/> <allow receive_sender="com.Skype.API"/> <allow send_path="/com/Skype"/> </policy> </busconfig>
Start Skype and then log in. Next (steps 5 and 6) configure Skype.
Make sure Skype starts automatically at login (select Skype→Tools→Options→Privacy, and then check the box opposite Remember my password).
As you want your Skype server to provide 24/7 phone service, you will want other Skype users to see your on-line status as always Online. Select Skype→Tools→Options→General, and then set Show me as "Away" when inactive to 0 instead of 5 minutes. Set Show me as "Not Available" when inactive to 0 instead of 20 minutes. Zero, in this case, means infinity or never.
Switch to superuser mode by entering the command su and the root password.
Download install-SkypeMate.zip and unzip it to get the file install-SkypeMate (this assumes your Skype-to-Phone adapter is compatible with the SkypeMate software—check before you buy).
Change the permissions for install-SkypeMate to make it executable (skype@fc3:~$ is the command prompt; what follows is the command you should enter):
skype@fc3:~$ chmod +x install-SkypeMate
Run the SkypeMate install program:
skype@fc3:~$ ./install-SkypeMate
Exit superuser mode and reboot the Skype server. Log in again as skype.
Double-click the SkypeMate icon on your desktop (which points to /usr/bin/SkypeMate). Skype will pop up a window asking you to give SkypeMate permission to use its API to control Skype (Figure 3). Check the box Do not ask me again, and then click Yes (that way, you won't be asked to give permission again).
Select your USB Skype-to-Phone adapter as the audio device for calls (select Skype→Tools→Options→Hand/Headsets, and then under Audio Devices select the appropriate device from the pull-down list).
For your convenience when dialing, you may want to set up speed-dial numbers for your contacts list. That way, you can pick up a phone handset and simply dial, say 10#, to call a specific contact.
Test Skype by calling the echo123 call-testing service.
If you want to make calls to regular phones, you will have to sign up your Skype server account for SkypeOut, and if you want to receive incoming calls from regular phones, you will have to sign up for SkypeIn. Both services are available at Skype's cheap rates.
Where are you going to locate your Skype server? Ideally, it should be somewhere with access to power, good ventilation, an Internet connection, your regular phone lines (RJ11 sockets) and out of sight. My choice was to install my Skype server in my basement (Figure 4), which is possibly the ideal location, but not necessarily one open to everybody. If your choices are more limited, that's all the more reason to think long and hard about where to put your Skype server once it's built.
Here's a step-by-step guide to installing your Skype server in your home:
Cancel one of your regular phone lines (not the one that serves your home alarm system).
Cut the incoming phone line that has been canceled where it enters your home (see sidebar).
Connect the Skype-to-Phone adapter to all the handsets of your canceled phone line by connecting its TEL socket to the wall socket of the canceled line using a regular phone cable having RJ11 sockets at both ends.
Test Skype again using the handsets plugged in to the canceled line.
Power down your server and remove any borrowed hardware that was used during its configuration, but that is not needed for its operation, such as a CD-ROM and floppy drive.
Move the server to its new location. Plug in all the cables and connectors, then power it on.
Log in and test Skype once more.
Remove the mouse, keyboard and monitor.
If all has gone well, you now have 24/7 phone service on one phone line provided exclusively by Skype.

Can you comment more on the SkypeOut/SkypeIn of Gizmo? Or links?
Why use skype instead of asterisk?
Everywhere people setting up PBXes for home or office use, using asterisk. It is open-source, uses open standards and is free to use. Why would I want to use a closed source application that will not support a lot of telephone hardware if there is a very good open-source alternative that is used in thousands of business telephone exchanges around the world already?

Skype/Telbox on XP
Neat project and well documented!
I am running the Skype/Telbox setup with my XP laptop. Runs 24/7 and gives access to the landline and Skype phones. Our rural location will lose power ocasionally but the laptop and BBU batteries do hold up for a few hours. The laptop is a P3 and occasionally the CPU has a problem keeping up with the virus scanning etc. and drops out Skype.
Maybe it is time to try out my Ubuntu laptop on Skype.
Has anyone got the Telbox working with Ubuntu yet?
Command line
Um ... maybe I'm missing something, but how does this work if you don't want to keep your linux box (in my case FC4) logged in to the GUI? In other words, can Skype be invoked from the command line? I hate the thought of having my server logged into Gnome much less hooking upa monitor and keyboard to it. Plus if the box is ever cycled I wouldn't want to have to load up Skype again manually.
Is there a way to do this from the command line?
Command line respose
Hey Henry, very good questions. Wish I new the answer, did you get one? I would like to know, I want to build one that is command driven also?
Why leave it logged in? create a service and it will run in the background under a service account
Skype-to-Phone USB adapter
Where would i get one of these? Is it named exactly like that? Thanks for any repsonse
Build the server, got skypemate working and skype on REDHAT.
How do you do speed dial. Linux skype does not have speeddial alocation.?????
I'm trying slackware 10.2 now but the SkypeMate will not install.
The instructions are not very clear... install this/install that... usually an RPM or something and there is not much documentation on the web about SkypeMate.
I hate that the instructions in LJ are usually based on REDHAT... not everyone uses that crap... how about trying a source install once in a while... e.g. Slackware.
Sorry to rant but this really bugs me.
You think RedHat is crap? Slackware is dead man, even Debian has better more often updated packages then Slack. Sorry, don't agree with you on that one...
If you really think you should make some waves talking smack about other Linux distros, use Debian and then we're talking!
Not me.
I just implied that RedHat isn't a mainstream one. Debian contains too many you must do this, you must do that. Slackware doesn't care if you do not set up a mail service straightaway, or even if you don't need X windows. They even gave up Gnome not long ago.
Especially since the good people at Skype now tell me they are indeed looking into working with Slackware, to test things out. Given time even they will come around.
Debian on the other hand won't. We're lucky that its still considered relevant for other platforms.
And when was the last time you even looked at Slackware? It evolves slowly. Like you humans do.
I also see you replied to my other self. I Strongly suggest that you take the time to try out Slackware 11.0. It may even work for you.
I keep time in a TARDIS. What is that thing on your wrist doing?
I keep time in a TARDIS. What is that thing on your wrist doing?

You *really* would prefer compiling?
Skypemate on Slack
Hi there!!!
Did you find any solution about Skypemate on Slack?
I have the same problem!!!!
I even mail to the programmers that wrote it ....... but there's no answer...
I have "easy bluebox" voip box and I cant make it work....
Skypemate on Slack
It's been a few months. I'm wondering if anyone has had any luck using skypemate on Slack 10 yet?
Skype on Slackware 10.2
Actually I have changed from Slackware 10.2 to Vector 5.1.1
Vector is a derivative of Slackware.
I have Skype running and quite well. It was not a problem. I just installed it.
I do have a problem and that is that I can't seem to make it ring when I get a call. Very annoying but if I am near the computer and see the little box come on and it tells me I have an incoming call, I can answer. The other thing that works is I can see if I have missed a call and then can return the call.
ringer equivalence
The Skype adapter's ring voltage generator can only drive one telephone's worth of load. It is incaple of driving the wiring in your house with multiple phones connected. The writer of the article obviously
has never actually built this. It works but only if all your phones are wireless. I have been running my phone system this way for a over a year.
Skypemate on Slack
I've had more time to play with SkypeMate. I give up on getting it to work under Slackware 10.2. I ended up using strace to figure out what was going on. To make a long story short, SkypeMate is written for Fedora Core 3. Additional packages will need to be installed and/or upgraded for SkypeMate to work under Slackware 10.2. Example: dbus needs to be installed, gcc needs to be upgraded to 3.4, extra unused mixer devices need to be removed (/dev/mixer3), etc.
At this point, I've pretty much given up on Skype and SkypeMate. Now on to Asterisk.
SkypeMate on Ubuntu LInux
so much of comments and discussion on RH, slackware etc. why isn't anyone taling about ubuntu? I have tried this on ubuntu but it seems that it didn't work at all, anyone of you has done this before?
With Fedora Core being so closely related to Red Hat Enterprise Linux, has anyone tried this with RHEL or CentOS?
Skype for Fedora3 installs and launches on CentOS4 without error. I've downloaded the SkypeMate software, also for Fedora3, but it insists on have the Skype-to-Phone adapter in place before proceding with the install.
Reliability of Phone vs Cable connection
While I have had both Cable and phone I have found that the cable can go out for days on end but the phone will only be out for a few hours (longer if the wires are down). Anyone going this way should be prepared for the possibility of no phone or internet for days on end.
Where and when do you live?
I haven't had my cable internet go "out" for like 4 years.... I do live in a big city, but still....
Cable Can go away for toronto big city.
Hello ,
I just remeber in last month, It went out for 10 hour cable connection.
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

text: This planter belonged to my grandmother, Daisy (Graf) Fredrick. I don't know a lot about it. My sister had it and then gave it to my mother, who I got it from. I have used it for annuals, pink and yellow flowers look really nice in it. I was wondering if it was a strawberry planter, but it looks a little shallow for that. I haven't used it the last couple of years for fear of breaking it. I have it stored to keep it safe. Anyone have a guess as to it's use or age? Please leave a comment.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- An artist and a physicist walk into a bar ..."
It may sound like the intro to a joke, but that's the theme of the Charleston Stage Company's quirky comedy, "Picasso at the Lapin Agile."
The one-act play, written by comedian Steve Martin, examines the possibilities had Albert Einstein and Pablo Picasso met in a bar in Paris in 1904, at a time when both young men were poised on the verge of greatness. Einstein would publish his special theory of relativity in 1905, and Picasso would paint his famous nudes, "Les Demoiselles d'Avignon," in 1907.
The men interact with a cast of barroom regulars, engaging in friendly competition as they debate the merits of life, love and genius.
Beckley native Jeff Faulkner shines as the earnest young Einstein, whose rumpled appearance is easily identifiable despite that he's yet to go gray. When the bartender expresses disbelief that Einstein is only 25, the physicist replies, "I discovered at an early age I would always try to look 86."
Jeff Bukovinsky, of Charleston, portrays Picasso as a suave ladies' man, wooing love interests in one breath, then struggling with his frustrations as an artist the next.
Each man is skeptical of the other's contribution to society, and much of the cast's discussion centers on what the new century holds for humanity. Once the characters have their moment of insight, a familiar yet unnamed visitor arrives -- with much fanfare -- from the future to offer some sage advice to the men.
The cast is solid. Terry Terpening delivers a standout supporting performance as Sagot, an art collector whose dry-humored delivery is reminiscent of the late Katharine Hepburn. "You want Jesus watching over you, but not while in a missionary position," she explains to Suzanne (Renata Padon) as to why she doesn't think paintings of the messiah should be displayed in the home.
The play bucks convention several times by breaking the fourth wall, during which an actor addresses the audience. The startling and seemingly impromptu asides elicit chuckles from the seats. As a whole, the story is an entertaining look at the similarities of the creative process involved to accomplish great works of art and science.
"Picasso at the Lapin Agile" continues at 7:30 p.m. May 11-12 and May 17-19 at WVSU Capitol Center Theatre. Admission is $15 adults, $10 students. For more information or tickets, call the box office at 304-343-5272.
