King of animals they are lions. Like leopards they are union. Makes me sick, makes me confuse. Nothing i can do makes me anxious. On that wall a beautiful woman. Pink and silver she's holding a fan. Queen Elizabeth looks not for me. Reminiscence of Helen is what i see. Teary eyes, you can't refuse. Unidentified, i'm confuse. Very concealing but amazing. With your color so exaggerating. Xenon is weakly interacting. You beautiful creatures get some rest. zebras and tigers are the best.

Old World Style 101

A link to %this page% was e-mailed
The hallmark of Old World design is a comfortable, broken-in look that shows the wear and tear of use. Textured walls, hand-trawled windows and walls, and tumbled marble exemplify the style. Distressed, matte and honed finishes are preferable to highly polished, reflective surfaces. Here's how the style breaks down:
Colors: The palette is deep, rich and regal but muted for a timeworn effect. Colors typically seen in an Old World room include burgundy, navy, forest green, ocher and cream. A combination of finishes can range from dark-stained surfaces to painted, glazed and sanded finishes that simulate (or account for) years of use.
Accents: The polished surface on ceramic jars and the rustic quality of wrought iron are often paired for subtle contrast. Other elements that evoke an Old World look include woven tapestries, Aubusson rugs and a distressed gilt finish on accessories.
Fabrics: Old World-style fabrics include damasks featuring oversize scrolls or floral patterns, complex tapestry designs, stripes and small prints set on cotton and muted hues of lustrous silks. Accoutrements like fringe, tassels and beaded trim add to the multilayered look.
Architecture: Rough-hewn beams lining a ceiling can balance the more sophisticated elements in the room. Other notable architectural features of an Old World-styled home include arched doorways and windows, which add feminine curves to a predominantly masculine design.

I just got mine this weekend! They look spot on. Its like holding the screen used gloves in your hand. They arrived with in the timeframe stated by GBH and when I had a question he was quick to reply. Good customer service! Get these gloves if you can!:thumbsup
aww i want some >_<!
Ok, I've had a few requests so I thought I'd start up another run. I'll now be offering PRE-PRO and SUPER TROOPER VERSIONS as well. the first pair of the PP version will go to Artek and I'll be posting pictures soon.
E - I am totally in for some ESBs!
Add me for ESB. Thank you.
I'll take a pair of ESB. Just let me know when/where to send payment.
THX guys, I'll get started on them. :thumbsup
I would like to be added to the list for a pair of ESB! PM on the way!
Do use the parade gloves for these? If so I'd really like a pair of ESB gloves. I have the "real fett" gloves that someone did here a few years ago and while they look spectacular they are lined with thinsulate so they are WAY to hot for most TX troops!
It's kind of ironic regarding the "Real Gloves", because I introduced Steve, I don't recall his last name anymore, to TDH so he could sell his gloves. If I remember correctly he was a clothing manufacturer out of Canada. At the time I thought those were the shizzle, that was before I knew the difference. Yes, bulky micro suede gloves with shinny white nylon patches (Like a windbreaker jacket basically) and nice warm thinsulate lining to keep your hands extra, extra warm during all those already immensely sweat producing trooping events, LOL! So needless to say, here I am 5 years later making gloves, strange!
But to answer your other question, yes, I use parade gloves as a base, then after dying them, the quilted patch work, cuffs and button closures are added.
I am in for an ESB pair. Will send payment and measurements in the morning.
could you post a pic of the PP ST ESB and ROTJ all next to each other so we can see them all lined up please .,thanks
PM sent.
And I think Steve's last name is Harris. Can't be certain though - it's been a while.
these gloves are amazing! i have had the privelege of owning a few pairs...they look and feel great! you guys wont be disappointed! glad to see the business up and running, E!
If you at look at the very beginning of the thread, you'll see the ESB and ROTJ versions, I'll be posting pictures of the Pre-Pros very soon! :thumbsup THX
DING! DING! DING! Good call Scott, YES, Harris it was! PM'd you back
Hey Darrell, appreciate the compliments. Glad to see you were abel to take a second pass at your ESB suit. :fettesb :thumbsup
I cannot handle the temptation any longer..... A pair of ROTJ gloves, please sir. :)
guess i need to take some measurements!
Sweetness, PM and Paypal sent! Put me down for a pair of ESB gloves!
Hey Everyone, thanks so much for your patronage, the list has been updated and were going to be hummin' along on these bad boys.
Just a heads up, I'll be closing this run at 15 glove orders.
THX Again
Just wanted to make sure... You make these to fit snug, correct?
NOPE, nice and sloppy, almost like muppet hands if you will! LOL!
Yes, they look very much the part, especially making each pair to each users hand measurements, the result is a very tailored look and still comfort to go along with it. :thumbsup :thumbsup
LOL Awesome, bruv. Just checkin. I like my gloves to fit skin tight, but it's difficult when you have skinny pianist fingers. :)
Can't wait to get these. :D
If you could add me to the list I can send payment but dont have the means to measure my hands at the moment. I know what size flight gloves i wear but i can find a way to measure at the gym i bet has a tape.
Ok, list has been updated, thanks everyone for your interest! Two more spots available and then I'll be closing the run.
I love my set!! these are one of the best you can get... thx GBH.
Put me up for a set of ESB, please.
Can you put me down for a pair of ROTJ please?
Payment and sizes sent.
The 5th run is now closed, I appreciate everyone's interest and glove orders will be mailed accordingly over the following weeks. :thumbsup
Cant wait!

Mobile devices running Windows Mobile Operating Systems sync to Windows desktops using a proprietary software called ActiveSync. Obviously, this software is not available for Linux based operating systems and therefore Linux desktop users cannot sync their Windows Mobile devices with their desktops. However, there are software tools available to Linux users to achieve synchronization with their Windows Mobile devices. One such tool is SynCE.
About SynCE
SynCE is group of software tools which provide a means of communication and synchronization with a Windows Mobile device from a computer running Linux, *BSD or other unix-based systems using USB and Bluetooth. For more information about SynCE, visit the project homepage.
Although the information provided in this article can be modified to other linux-based operating systems and Windows Mobile devices quite easily, the following list of tool used is listed for reference and completeness.
Windows Mobile Device: Dell Axim X3i, Intel XScale 400MHz Processor with 64MB RAM.
Windows Mobile OS Version: Windows Mobile 2003 SE.
Desktop OS: Fedora 11 (64-bit), GNOME 2.26
SynCE Version: libsynce-0.14.1, synce-gnome-0.11-3
Installing SynCE
For other operating systems visit the installation instructions on SynCE website.
Install the necessary packages using
yum install libsynce synce-hal synce-gnome synce-sync-engine synce-trayicon synce-software-manager librapi
Any necessary dependecies should be automatically installed by yum
Firewall Configuration for SynCE
Port 990 and Port 5679 are required to be unblocked for normal operation of SynCE. This can most easily accomplished by adding these two ports for tcp
protocol in the Other Ports
menu of System->Administration->Firewall
configuration tool.
Using SynCE
After connecting the device to the computer, start the tray icon from Applications->System Tools->synce-trayicon
Since Nautilus no longer uses gnomevfs
(uses gvfs
instead), Explore with Filemanager
does not work at the time of writing. However, the command line tool pls
works from the command line.
Add/Remove software can done from the Applications
tab in the View device status
window of the tray icon. Software manager can also be started from Applications->System Tools->synce-software-manager
The Windows Mobile device is now ready to be used with a Linux desktop.

Questions Linger After Hawkeyes Get Blown Out At UMBy Scott Dochterman, Reporter
ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Questions tend to linger around a basketball program when vices turn into habits.
Toughness, intensity and effort are intangibles that Iowa Coach Fran McCaffery expects from his team. Yet when they are lacking, like in Sunday's 95-67 loss at No. 2 Michigan, they bubble up and blister. McCaffery drilled his troops on defensive intensity while preparing for Michigan. At halftime, after Iowa allowed an 8-0 run to go down 46-35, McCaffery refocused his team's defensive mindset. He reminded them about defense before they took the court in the second half. And the Wolverines promptly tore it apart. After Michigan (15-0, 2-0 Big Ten) scored on four of its first five possessions — after ending the first half with points on 13 consecutive scoring opportunities — McCaffery pulled his starters for five reserves. It barely helped. "I don't like to do that because it tends to highlight the players, and I don't like to do that in a negative way," McCaffery said. "'OK, we're losing because of you five guys right now.' I don't like to be that guy. "What was upsetting to me was the focal point of our halftime discussion and the discussion right before we went back on the floor was the first three or four possessions defensively to start the second half. So that was why I made the change." They all returned, but it was too late. Over a stretch lasting 23 minutes and six seconds, Michigan scored on 33 of 41 possessions. Over the last 27 minutes, Michigan scored 78 points. The Wolverines sizzled with nine dunks and shot 58.1 percent for the game. Overall Michigan had 24 assists on 36 baskets. Michigan point guard Trey Burke scored 19 points and had 12 assists in 33 minutes. Iowa struggled to contain him or any of his teammates. "We weren't executing our plans," Iowa guard Devyn Marble said. "(McCaffery would) call one thing and guys were running another. Miscommunication and stuff like that. But really just the effort though. We'll get that corrected." How? "You just have to have that deep down in you. You have to get that out yourself." Iowa (11-4, 0-2 Big Ten) started strong, taking a 7-0 lead two minutes into the game. For most of the first half, the Hawkeyes answered every Michigan attempt to pull away with a basket of their own. However that allowed them to settle into bad habits late in the first half. Iowa sophomore Aaron White attempted a dunk but was rejected by Michigan forward Mitch McGary at the rim. The Wolverines took off on a fast break that led to a Burke layup and a 33-29 Michigan lead. The Hawkeyes scored on their next three offensive trips but couldn't sustain it. Michigan ended the half with four free throws, a dunk from Tim Hardaway Jr. and a layup at the buzzer from Glenn Robinson III. "We can't be satisfied with trading baskets," Iowa freshman Anthony Clemmons said. "After we score, we have to try to come back and have in our mindset that we have to stop them." "I think we put too much pressure on our offense at that point in time and then we gave them opportunities and we were scrambled defensively in transition," McCaffery said. "We seemed to be a team that tries to stem the tide when the other team is making a run with our offense and you have to do it with your defense. You can't expect to come down a make a 3 and then make another two and do it that way, especially against a team of this caliber." Statistics now are unfriendly for the Hawkeyes. The 28-point defeat was Iowa's second-worst at Michigan in the series' 92-year history. It's the second time this season the team has given up 95 points in a road loss. It was also was just the second true road game for Iowa as well. "I did think we were beyond this point," Marble said. "I guess I was wrong."

The idea that drawing on outside contributors for innovation leads to better results has become increasingly popular. But does "open innovation," (a term used by Henry Chesbrough in his classic 2003 MIT Sloan Management Review article on the topic) really pay off? To date, write two researchers at Goethe University Frankfurt in Germany, the evidence to support the benefits of open innovation has primarily been based on case studies — and case studies often have a bias for positive results.
So Wenzler Drechsler, a Ph.D. student, and Martin Natter, Strothloff Chair of Retailing at Goethe University Frankfurt, conducted an econometric study of the effects of open innovation, using a sample of German firms in 2007 – and the researchers discuss their preliminary results in a new working paper. Their findings suggest that open innovation can indeed be beneficial to businesses. Drechsler and Natter report that, on the whole, the use of external sources to bring new innovation into an organization "positively contribute[s] to a firm's innovation performance — the optimal level [of such external innovation sources] being relatively high. Moreover, the results show a positive indirect effect of Open Innovation actitivities on a firm's overall business performance."

Yesterday Disney brought in some pigs and 2 piglets for some opportunity drawing on the back grassy area. They were for a project the interns are working on but were made available for everybody to draw.I have never drawn a farm pig before,I have just drawn a horned warthog once, so these sketches are really my first attempt @ observing this animal closeup.I love when Disney olds these special drawing opportunities-a real treat!

Somebody famous...to us
While working here @Disney Feature I kept seeing this guy stroll by my desk...after a few times I just had to do a quick sketch of this character...he was a great subject. After I had done this sketch someone saw it and said "Hey, that's a great drawing of Eric Goldberg." What...thats Eric Goldberg...yes...one of the greatest animators living today...wow...just never knew what he looked like....now I do....

My rug stays in place on tile. Have 2 active labrador dogs that are constantly running across the rug -and it stays in place. Sometimes when the rug will move the thickness of the pad and the rug on top, it is easy to move back in place. Before this pad, I had a very thin "bubble" pad, and the rug constantly moved, and the pad folded under itself when I moved the rug.
I am using the pad under a rag rug on the floor in front of the kitchen sink after being frustrated with the rug sliding around all the time. Since I put the rug pad underneath the rag rug - it has not budged. The pad is good quality, good price and does the job. And the shipping was fast.
I have bought six rugs from O for various rooms and placed a deluxe rug pad under all of them. I originally bought a thinner pad, at a local super store, and was not happy with the ptoection for my rug and hardwood floors. This is perfect.
What can you say about a rug pad? It came on time, it was the right size and it works under the rug. It works on carpet or hardwood floors, the instructions were clear on which side to go down, and it feels good on your feet under the rug, keeps it from sliding. OH the most important thing - the price was right!
If you are going to get a nice rug it is important to get a good pad. Better to not scrimp on the pad and this pad is excellent.
nice rug pad for the $$ I have hardwood floos & has a nice backing so no slipping would recommend
It's a fine rug pad. It keeps the rug that sits on it from moving too much, but the whole package does tend to shift a bit on a hardwood floor. I think that's just the nature of the beast. I would not want to place a rug on a hardwood floor without a pad like this.
Nice rug pad. Proper size and nice thickness. Prevents the rug from slipping.
I purchased three different sizes of this same rug after receiving the first one. A fine value of superior quality. They have made a difference in the feel of my rugs.

Testing in Texas has gone too far, say key insiders
February 25, 2013 | Updated: February 25, 2013 10:29pm
Four of the state's past education commissioners, now free from political backlash, agreed Monday that Texas needs less high-stakes testing in its public schools, an increasingly common theme among parents, educators and some lawmakers.

Samsung NEW PC Studio. Very disappointing. Had several versions of this software over the years. Interface looks good. Functionality initially appears OK (albeit limited). Data from the phone (message manager) is not correctly imported, either: "This message is not supported. Check it on your phone.", or the SMS message is allocated an arbitrary date/time. Sometimes only part of the message is retrieved. Phonebook is not bad. Looking desperately for an alternative… Read Full Review

Failed to install at first attempt, tried to re-install, told me to uninstall first. Did that - failed!! Manually removed files it left behind & amended the registry entries & tried again. Now only gives me the option to repair previous installation. Attempted repair but it even failed to do that. Now in the bin - I'm going back to Nokia

The first time i installed the Samsung PC Studio software onto my laptop, i thought that it took a very long time to install. when i started using it i found it easy to use and had a good photo editor built in. Then i started having problems with it, as everytime i tried to open files on the laptop they kept closing. i sent the problem to windows and they informed me that the software for the samsung phone was messing with the hardrives, so i had to un-install it.

The term classical music is used to refer to the music of the Baroque, Classical, and Romantic eras, which ranged roughly from the years 1600 - 1900. Classical musical consists of some of the world's best known and celebrated composers, such as Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, Schubert, Weber, and many more. Classical music can be heard by orchestras all throughout the world. In modern times Video Games Live is very popular among classical music fans.
Coming out of the Renaissance period of music, classical music made a move toward music that was much more expressive than previous forms. Its composers used concepts such as instrumentation in order to invoke emotion in their audiences by writing parts for specific instruments. Today, classical music is often used as the background for major motion pictures in order to produce certain emotions in movie-going audiences. It has also made stars of many solo artists, such as cellist Yo-Yo Ma and violinists Andre Rieu and Joshua Bell. Get your chance to hear some an example of classical music by buying Video Games Live tickets from TicketNetwork.

Schubert: The Complete Songs
40CDs Boxed set + book (at a special price)
Schubert: The Hyperion Schubert Edition, Vol. 34
Archive Service; also available on CDS44201/40
Unger was a many-sided man who fancied himself as a poet (his Gedichte were issued in 1797) and composer as well as being a professor at the Theresianische Ritterakademie in Vienna, a type of finishing school for young men of noble birth. It was there that Unger had made his first contact with the Count Esterházy. Unger was also a contributor to almanacs in one of which a version of this poem appeared in 1804. This fact was only discovered by Dietrich Berke as recently as 1969. Until that time the quartet was known by its old title of Lebenslust (as it was published in the old Gesamtausgabe) and the poet was unknown. The Neue Schubert Ausgabe issued the work in Volume 2a of Series III (1996) where the editorial commentary mentions the puzzling differences between the text as printed in the almanac, and the composer's manuscript. The editors even conjecture that Schubert set the quartet from an anonymous source; but it would surely be too much of a coincidence that he should choose to set such a text at the same time as he was drawing closer to the Unger circle. Further evidence that Unger had become known to the Schubertians is the fact that in 1818, Schubert's friend Anslem Hüttenbrenner also set an Unger poem as a vocal quartet – Der Abend.
The answer to this puzzle lies in a source which was not available to the editors of the Neue Schubert Ausgabe. This is a slim volume of manuscripts (56 pages) entitled Carl Ungers Lieder, Nachgeahmt oder von ihm selbst gedichtet und in Musick [sic] gesetzt. The book is not dated but it contains numerous simple solo song settings, many apparently by Unger himself, others where his words are made to fit arrangements of Paer, Haydn and Pleyel. In almost all cases, however, it seems that the poems are by Unger himself. The music for Die Geselligkeit, for example, is marked 'by an unknown' (a simple F major song in 3/4 without very great merit), but the verses are identical with the text in Schubert's manuscript. It seems likely that this volume had been assembled much earlier than 1818 (one of the pieces refers to the Befreiungskrieg of 1813) and that it was used as Schubert's source for Die Geselligkeit, as well as Die Nachtigall, and by Hüttenbrenner for his Der Abend.
As for the music itself, there are touches of Schubertian subtlety here and there; but the music has been made to appeal to a jollier, and lower, common denominator than much of Schubert's work for SATB (compare the magisterial Gebet from 1824). The introduction is obviously authentic because it sounds so much better than the leaden musical tags that Diabelli was wont to place in front of original Schubert songs that he published in the Nachlass. The tricky little semiquaver flourish before the entry of the voices encapsulates the mood of merry high spirits which are at the heart of this poem. This is one of the composer's Ländler-like waltzes in 6/8, and it is kept deliberately simple. There is a telling change from D major to an ominous D minor to paint the word 'öde' (barren) where the cosy and rollicking accompanying semiquavers change to quavers, an octave apart between the hands, which rise and fall within a two-octave range like an icy wind on a forsaken plain. This is an example of Schubert's not infrequent visual trickery where the music not only sounds emptier and more barren as a result of the harmonies, it also looks mournful on the printed page. At 'In traulichen Kreise, beim herzlichen Kuss' we find the same canonic technique between the voices as we have already heard in Das Dörfchen; the composer obviously felt that this was a good way to give the important first tenor (whose music is almost always more demanding than the other three singers) a short moment to be heard on his own. The third time we hear 'ist Seelengenuss' it is accompanied by a gleeful ascending scale culminating in a contrary-motion A major arpeggio decorated by acciaccature.
The performance recorded here uses three of the four verses of the poem. There is more biographical information about the Ungers, father and daughter, in the commentary accompanying Die Nachtigall in Volume 28 of this series.

Environment Academic Minor
Effective: Winter 2013
Academic Minor in the Environment
An academic minor in the Environment is not open to students concentrating in the Environment, to students in the School of Natural Resources and Environment, nor to those pursuing an academic minor in Global Change or academic minor in Sustainability.
The goals of this academic minor are to enhance the environmental literacy of undergraduates by exposing them to various disciplinary approaches to environmental issues and problems and by providing opportunities for field-based experience and for the acquisition of analytical skills useful in solving environmental problems.
The intended audience is students seeking some measure of environmental literacy or preparing themselves for careers with an environmental dimension.
Students wishing to pursue an academic minor in the Environment must develop a specific plan for its completion in consultation with the program's designated advisor.
Prerequisites to the Academic Minor: None for the Academic Minor per se, although individual courses elected to meet the requirements of the Academic Minor may have course prerequisites.
Academic Minor Program: At least 17 credits of courses, to be elected from five categories as stated (at least two of the required courses must be at the 300-level or above):
- Introductory interdisciplinary courses. One course chosen from:
- ENVIRON 110 / BIOLOGY 110 / GEOSCI 171 / AOSS 171 / ENSCEN 171. Introduction to Global Change I. Physical Impacts
- ENVIRON 111 / SOC 111 / GEOG 111 / AOSS 172 / ENSCEN 172. Introduction to Global Change II. Human Impacts
- ENVIRON 201. Ecological Issues
- ENVIRON 270 / NRE 270. Our Common Future
- CEE 260. Environmental Principles
- Environmental Natural Science. One course chosen from the list of Environmental Natural Science courses, above:
- Environmental Social Science. One course chosen from the list of Environmental Social Science courses:
- Culture and Environment. One course chosen from the list of Culture and Environment courses:
- Analytics or Field Experience (one course):
- Field Experience. The field experience requirement may be satisfied in two ways: by a field course at the UM Biological Station, Camp Davis, or other approved field location; or by an approved off-campus internship that results in academic credit.
- Analytics. The analytics requirement may be satisfied by electing STATS 250 (or 350) or equivalent (STATS 265, 400, 405, or 412; ECON 404 or 405; or IOE 265).

BELLVILLE — Hedging its bets, so to speak, the Clear Fork Valley Board of Education on Tuesday passed a resolution to place an earned income tax levy on the November ballot.
The 1 percent, five-year earned income tax will only tax wages and self-employed/partnership earnings. There will be no tax on pensions, interest, dividends, capital gains, rental income, lottery winnings or income earned by estates.
The proactive move by the board, explained Superintendent Matthew Dill, is in the event the same issue is unsuccessful on the special Aug. 7 ballot. [The filing deadline for the November ballot falls before the August special election.] The revenue is needed, he said, to help decrease the amount of deficit spending in the school district.
"For every $10,000 of earned income, the cost of this Earned Income Tax would be $100," Dill said. "Your support of this issue is very important for our boys and girls."
The Board of Education in March approved a list of ways to both increase revenue and decrease expenses starting with the 2012-13 school year. Some items on this approved list included: Elimination of some positions, sharing fiscal services with Lucas Local School District and maximizing efficiencies (i.e. transportation). These actions should reduce expenses by $504,493.75 annually.
Dill said there is a plan in place in the event voters reject the levy. Beginning the 2013-14 school year, the school district would have to reduce student bus transportation down to state minimum requirements and implement a pay-to-participate fee for all extracurricular activities — both athletic and non-athletic.

what would be the difference between sling:folder and nt:folder?
As Nicolas said, there are some things that you can do only in a sling:folder type of node.
The "nt" means "Node Type", and a "node type: folder" is just a empty node that can be referenced as a organizational structure file folder. The "sling" prefix means that this one special folder belong to the type "Sling", in other words, that folder type node is built in the sling Framework structure and is constructed with some setting already, which I do not know to tell you. Take a look at "/libs/sling/nodetypes/sling.cnd" on you CRXDE Lite or CRXDE.
(I may be wrong about some details, eveything here is what I believe myself after some research and experience)
nt:folder represents a plain file system folder (it can have nt:folder and nt:file children and only a few restricted meta data properties).
sling:folder is basically nt:folder + nt:unstructured in one, i.e. it can be used inside other nt:folders, but it comes with residual (arbitrary, wildcard) properties and child nodes.

From Gnash Project Wiki
(Redirected from Release Gnash)
Contents |
Generally Good Habits
To assist the release process, two things would be useful:
- Add significant changes to the relevant Releases page as they are made. Even if they are not world-changing, it shows what is new since the last release (which make it easier to write the release announcement). It's easier to remove minor changes from the list than to go through the ChangeLog months later.
- Update the documentation (man pages, user manual, reference manual) as you go with any user visible changes. After updating, run make update-preformats to copy the new output doc to the preformatted area.
Release Process
How to get to a release
- Look for any useful but unapplied: patches.
- Look for any critical or Blocker bugs: bugs.
- Announce the code freeze two weeks before it'll happen.
- Test, test, test.
- Verify the Releases page has a link to the coming release, and put it in shape.
- Put out a call on gnash-dev for updated Translations, preferably in its own email so it doesn't get overlooked.
- Update translation (po) files.
- Make sure distcheck passes, and make deb and make rpm build correct packages.
- Run 'make DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS="CXXFLAGS=-O0 --disable-testsuite" distcheck' for different values of renderer, gui, and media handler.
- Tag via 'bzr tag release_#_#_#_start'
- Make release branch via 'bzr branch trunk release_#_#_#',
- Change version in branch, update the NEWS file.
- Announce release branch and email gnash-dev for community testing.
- Test, test, test.
- Generate the generated documentation
- Generate a ChangeLog from bazaar
- Test, test, test.
- Merge any changes made to the release branch to trunk, except the version number.
Making a release candidate
- Run make check to make sure all the test cases PASS
- Make sure all the documentation is up to date.
- Make Debian packages via make deb. Go to this page on Packaging for more details on this process.
- Make Redhat packages via make rpm. Go to this page on Packaging page for more details on this process.
- Upload packages to getgnash.org:/var/www/html/getgnash.org/incoming so the deb and rpm repositories get updated with the new files
- Announce release candidate to gnash-dev for testing
Making the final release
- Release the files by making a tarball via make dist
- Create the directive files for the release files following this procedure: Automated FTP Uploads to GNU.org.
- Copy the man and HTML documentation into GNU's Gnash page .../manual/.
- Upload the signed packages and directive files.
- Edit GNU's Gnash page, your savannah login should be able to change those files if you have gnash commit privileges.
- Send release announcement emails.
- Make an announcement blog entry on gnashdev.org. Remember to select "Promote to front page" in the Publishing Options.
Release Checklist
This is a short list of things to do to make the release itself. Read the procedures for uploading to the gnu.org ftp site [1].
- Make sure the FSF has your public keys so you can upload
- Write a release announcement.
- Create directive files for the upload
- Upload tarballs to getgnash.org
- Upload tarballs to gnu.org
- Make sure the tarballs are on gnu.org
- Update the web pages, including manuals and Doxygen
- Send an announcement to:
- email@example.com

Neil deGrasse Tyson is my favorite statist.
Do you realize that the $850 billion bank bailout — that sum of money — is greater than the entire fifty-year running budget of NASA?
This seems like an appropriate quote for today.
In 2012, NASA's budget will be less than half a percent of the total Federal Budget. This also represents 35% of the total spending on academic scientific research in the United States.
Over the past 50 years, with little more than the pocket change left over, NASA has turned science-fiction into science-fact. Space stations, human spaceflight, interplanetary exploration - this is all reality now.
Imagine what we could accomplish if we started prioritizing science.

UpLift 970 Sit-Stand Ergonomic Desks with a bamboo top are available in the following standard sizes (Call us at 800-531-3746 for a quote on a custom size wood desktop):
The Advanced Wire Management Kit is a complete cable organization system for your height-adjustable desk. We developed this kit after years of desk installations. It's a proven way to easily manage all computer and electric desk cords. The kit includes the following:
Click the video below to get some helpful tips on making the most of your UpLift Advanced Wire Management Kit:
The included cable organization tray forms the crux of your wire management solution with a sleek, black design that seamlessly blends with your desk's design and mounts securely to the desktop with two self-tapping wood screws or a strip of included double-sided tape. At 3.6'' wide, this tray is wide enough to accommodate cords, power supplies and the included power strip, minimizing below-desk clutter.
10 self-adhesive wire mounts and 100 single-use cable ties allow for cables to be bundled and pulled taut against the bottom of the desk, eliminating hanging wires.As your workstation develops over the years, it's likely that you'll need to re-bundle wires for routing or storage inside the wire management tray. A set of 10 reusable cable ties is also included, allowing for modification of cable bundling as needed without needing to replace individual cable ties.
Additionally, the Advanced Wire Management Kit provides a desk-to-wall cable organizer to organize wires running from an outlet or equipment to your desk in a single bundle. The desk-to-wall cable organizer's heavy-duty "spiral" design protects the cables inside from wear and tear, while also allowing cables to be integrated into the organizer or removed from it easily. An included quick wire add/remove tool rapidly and efficiently routes cables into the organizer.
A 3'' grommet hole can be added to your UpLift desk to allow for through-desk cable routing or monitor arm mounting. The holes can be drilled on the rear of your desk in either the left, right, center, or a combination of the three. Corner desk grommet holes are drilled 2'' from the left or right side and 2.5'' from the rear edge, with central grommet holes placed in the center of the desk 2.5'' from the desk's rear edge. Each grommet hole includes your choice of black or chrome grommet hole covers. The black grommet hole covers also feature flip-top tabs that cover the cord slot when not in use. For custom grommet hole positions, please call us at 1-800-531-3746.
The UpLift 970 Sit-Stand Ergonomic Desk can be ordered with optional casters. The casters come in a set of four, and can be locked to keep the desk stationary, but easily unlocked when you want to roll the desk.
Please note: the casters will add approximately 2.25 inches of height to your desk.
Add an UpLift Sit-Stand desk mat to your desk order, and receive an additional discount off the regular mat price. Our UpLift Sit-Stand anti-fatigue desk mats are extremely durable and comfortable. The padding is an inch thick and the surface is puncture-proof to withstand high heels or even the wheels of your chair. Choose from a 2' x 3' size or a 3' x 5' size.
Note: If you wish to use your UpLift Sit-Stand desk mat as a chair mat as well, you will need the 3' x 5' size.
Add an optional footrest to your standing desk to improve your sit-to-stand experience and your overall health. See the links and descriptions below to determine which footrest would best suit your needs.
When using a sit-stand desk, we recommend mounting your computer beneath your desktop to prevent cables from being stretched and pulled out of their ports when moving the desk from sitting to standing positions. We don't recommend leaving your CPU on the floor, as most cords aren't long enough to stretch from a computer placed on the floor to the standing height of your desk. While one option is to place your CPU on top of your desk, a CPU holder allows you to securely attach your computer tower to the bottom of your desktop to free up desk space. For an adjustable CPU holder at a discounted price when bundled with this desk, our own UpLift CPU Holder features a 360° swivel mount and a gliding track mechanism for easy access to your computer.
Click the video below to see the many features and benefits of the UpLift CPU Holder:
A monitor arm is almost always better than the stands that most monitors come with. Monitor arms allow you to easily move the monitor in and out, side-to-side, and up and down, while allowing you to make use of the desktop surface under the monitor. It is best not to use valuable and convenient desktop space with your monitor stand - most people push their monitor too far back to save desktop space and end up with a hunched back as they strain forward to see the screen. Most people that we sell a monitor arm to come back to us and say that they should have gone with a monitor arm years ago.
The Budget Single Monitor Arm and Budget Dual Monitor Arm allow you to elevate your VESA-compatible displays off of your desk and easily move the monitor in the horizontal plane (in and out, side-to-side) by using your fingertips to move the monitor. To move the monitor vertically you need to adjust the vertical position of the arm where it mounts to the vertical pole at the back of your desk. For users who want easier vertical adjustment, there's the Innovative EVO II and Innovative 7500 Wing Dual LCD monitor arms. These stylish, heavy-duty monitor arms provide complete fingertip adjustment for height, depth and lateral movement. They support monitors weighing up to 20 lbs. with an adjustable vertical counterbalance system that allows for fingertip vertical monitor adjustment, and we offer them at a discount when bundled with your UpLift standing desk.
See how easy it is to adjust the position of your monitor with the Innovative EVO II LCD Monitor Arm by clicking the video below:
An ergonomic keyboard tray is an excellent accessory for your UpLift desk, and our UpLift Large Keybord Tray, with its easy lift-and-release knob-free locking height adjustment that adjusts a full 8'', wheel tilt adjustment, and easy-to-read height and tilt indicators, gets your keyboard and mouse in the proper position whether seated or standing. The 27'' wide, low-profile phenolic keyboard tray also features a removable foam palm rest and a separate foam mousing platform with sliding mouse catcher and cord manager that can be switched from the right to left side for ambidextrous mousing. The low-profile, heavy-duty platform gets your keyboard and mouse even closer to your lap, allows for compact storage, and is wide enough to comfortably fit most keyboard and mouse combinations. This high-quality keyboard tray system is available at a discounted price when bundled together with your UpLift desk and comes with an 11" track to mount the keyboard tray without interference from your desk's support underneath. While the 11'' track length will not allow you to fully store your tray along the track under your desk, we find that most users never fully retract their tray even if they have that capability.
For a little bit of extra storage, add an UpLift Half Circle Desk Drawer at a discounted price when bundled together with your desk. This half-circle-shaped, swiveling drawer easily attaches to the underside of your desktop via a central mount and pivots in either direction, rotating out to give you quick and easy access to smaller accessories that you don't want cluttering up your desktop. Featuring pen and pencil trays, a notepad slot, a tape dispenser, and storage compartments, the 13.6'' W x 7.4'' D x 1.3'' thick UpLift accessories drawer will help keep your height adjustable desk cleaner and more organized.
The Raynor Evo Chair is an extra-comfortable executive task chair. Covered in soft foam and upholstered in stain-resistant fabric, this chair is available in three fashionable colors at a significant discount when purchased with your UpLift 900. You won't be sitting as often anymore, but it's still nice to have an attractive and functional chair. We don't recommend this chair for users who sit more than 3-4 hours per day, as they should buy a more ergonomic chair like the Ergohuman V2 chair.
The Raynor Nuvo Mesh Chair with Headrest has an array of ergonomic adjustments that include adjustable lumbar support, a seat slider and adjustable arm rests. The Raynor Nuvo also features extremely comfortable and breathable Italian Soft Touch Mesh upholstery and a removable headrest. Already a great value, bundle this chair with your desk and get a great discount!
The Ergohuman V2 Chair is one of our most popular ergonomic chairs, featuring a five-position back angle tilt lock, four-way adjustable arms, a seat pan slider, and well-pronounced lumbar support. These chairs are available in both mesh and leather upholstery, and can be bundled with the UpLift 900 for great savings!
We also have a variety of ergonomic stools that make a great accessory for your UpLift Standing Desk.
Want to see all the features and adjustments available on these chairs? Watch the videos below for a demonstration:
Each desk and its components are carefully packaged for maximum protection during shipment. Most desks will ship via freight carrier, and standard delivery will include curbside or dock-to-dock delivery. However, we have many delivery options available to meet your needs. Please click the links below to read detailed descriptions of our freight shipping and white glove delivery options:
The UpLift 970 Sit-Stand Ergonomic Desk with Premium 1.5" Thick Bamboo Top provides a convenient sit-stand workstation that's ideal for offices where room is at a premium. A heavy-duty lifting column provides smooth, consistent movement to quickly raise your desk from sitting to standing, which has been shown to provide both health and productivity benefits. When paired with a natural Moso bamboo top, this sit-stand ergonomic desk provides a gorgeous combination of form and function.

Nothing is more frustrating in boating than twisting the starter key and getting a useless click, or switching on the stereo and getting the Ode to Silence. And to many, there is nothing more confusing than the myriad battery choices, both types and sizes, all requiring different maintenance, offering varying benefits and posing unique liabilities. To help unravel some of the voodoo, here is Boating's primer on making sure you always have 12-volt power and the equipment to refresh it.
Wet Cell/Flooded Electrolyte(left)
How It's Made: Flooded cells feature thicker lead and antimony plates surrounded by liquid electrolyte. Marine units are built with thicker plates and extra antimony mixed with the lead, to make them more resistant to shedding and other damage from vibration.
Pros and Cons: Lowest initial investment cost for cold cranking and deep-cycle use, but their construction makes them prone to sulfation. One deep discharge can drastically reduce the battery's ability to store and give power.
Maintenance: Flooded-cell batteries release a gas that causes the electrolyte to evaporate, leaving plates dry. Monthly additions of distilled water are necessary for keeping them up to snuff. Annually remove cables, clean posts and clean or replace terminals.
Charging: Simple automatic chargers are recommended. Overcharging with a manual charger is destructive to the plates. Batteries discharge rapidly with no load over a few months, so in storage, charging power should be available.
Best Choice When: Low initial investment cost is primary.
Cost and Cost to Own: The West Marine SeaVolt costs from $200. Regular charging and more frequent maintenance add to the cost. Rapid dormant discharge can add to frustration and towing or jumpstarting costs.
Gel Cell(center)
How It's Made: Many thin plates of lead and calcium are coated with a waxy or gel-like electrolyte and packed tightly together within a sealed case.
Pros and Cons: Ideal as pure deep-cycle batteries, but less than ideal as starting batteries (thin plates may bend under heavy draw) and not as rugged as AGMs.
Maintenance: As in AGM batteries, gels have sealed cells and no monthly electrolyte monitoring is needed. Annually remove terminals and clean and lube connections.
Charging: Gel cells have very specific charging voltage requirements and, while some recommend AGM profiles, they are apt to last longer with charging profiles designed for AGM batteries, often requiring a special charger.
Best Choice When: Superior cycling ability is a plus for deep-cycle use, but low resistance to vibration and lower cranking voltage make them less useful in all but slower moving powerboats.
Cost and Cost to Own: Cost is comparable to that of AGMs without the advantages. The West Marine SeaVolt Gel is $300.
AGM(Absorbed Glass Mat, right)
How It's Made: A pasty electrolyte bonded to plates pressed between an electrolyte-impregnated glass mat in a sealed box means these batteries can't spill acid and won't shed needed plate material from vibration of boating.
Pros and Cons: Maintenance-free sealed cells can't gas off electrolyte , so you never need to check and top off with water. Fast to recharge, they are kept up to snuff by a short run of the engine. Offers more power in smaller footprints and more versatile installation options.
Maintenance: AGMs are sealed so electrolyte can't escape and won't need to be replaced in cells. They need no charging during storage if isolated from current requirement. AGM battery terminals don't "cold creep," reducing terminal dimensions, so that annual removal and cleaning may not be necessary.
Charging: AGMs require more voltage and a special charging profile to properly recharge.
Best Choice When: Both cold-cranking and deep-cycle power are demanded from same batteries, since these can be heavily drawn down without damage.
Cost and Cost to Own: EnerSys, Odyssey and Energizer make AGMs ranging from $250 per battery. Ownership costs often negate initial sticker shock, thanks to long life (three to five years) and ability to recover from repeated deep discharges.

Human rights of immigrants, refugees and asylum seekers
There are alarming trends in the treatment of asylum seekers and refugees, as well as of irregular migrants in all parts of Europe.
States are engaging ever more intensely in extensive border patrols, trying to deter the entry of migrants into their territory. Migrants, including asylum seekers, who do manage to enter irregularly Council of Europe member states are often criminalised, locked up in prison-like conditions, and expelled as quickly as possible – even to countries where they risk persecution and torture. However, irregular migration is not a criminal act and irregular migrants also enjoy certain rights under international law, which need to be respected.

Positions on the rights of minor migrants in an irregular situation
A summary of conclusions and recommendations concerning migrants in an irregular situation, based on the Commissioner's country monitoring and thematic reports, issue papers, recommendations, opinions and viewpoints. (updated: 25.06.2010)
In an attempt to fight abusive asylum requests, states undermine the rights of genuine asylum seekers, who are frequently detained and unable to access fair and efficient asylum procedures.
Positions on the right to seek and enjoy asylum
A summary of conclusions and recommendations concerning the right to seek and enjoy asylum. (updated: 24.06.2010)
The Commissioner works with and advises member states to improve the protection of human rights of migrants and to ensure that undocumented migrants and their children have the right to basic health care and education. He promotes their right to protection against arbitrary detention, as well as their right not to be sent to countries where they risk ill-treatment and torture.
He draws attention to the fact that one of the most vulnerable groups in Europe today is migrant children, who often are denied basic health care and education, and run the risk of being exploited by traffickers or smugglers.
The Commissioner has also recently intervened as a third party before the European Court of Human Rights in cases concerning the return of asylum seekers to Greece under the Dublin Regulation, which has lead to the groundbreaking judgment in the M.S.S v. Belgium and Greece case.

The Amazing Mr. Ripley
The Man Behind "BELIEVE IT OR NOT!"
Robert Ripley, the cartoonist, the explorer, the reporter, adventurer, illustrator, collector and seeker of the odd and unusual, is a man who lived a life that can only be summed up by the statement he himself created; "Believe It or Not!" His life's work, his discoveries, his artistry, the tales he told and adventures he lived will forever be the foundation of all that Ripley Entertainment encompasses.
World Famous
Ripley was one of the most famous people in the world during the first half of the 20th century. Born LeRoy Ripley in 1890 in Santa Rosa, California, "Roy" was an avid artist and a great athlete at a very young age. He pitched semi-pro baseball at age 13 and also illustrated the posters advertising the games.
At age 14, he sold his first cartoon to LIFE Magazine for eight dollars. By age 15, Ripley was working at the San Francisco Bulletin and soon moved on to the San Francisco Chronicle. In 1913, he moved to New York and, as 'Robert', rather than 'Leroy', he began working at the New York Globe sketching sports cartoons. After having done this for several years, Ripley came upon a slow sports day and decided to draw up nine unusual sports event in small sketches. The cartoon was originally titled, "Champs and Chumps", but after much deliberation, the title was changed to Believe It or Not!. The rest is history! Once the cartoon took off and became immensely popular, Ripley became a world traveler, seeking stories of bizarre and unusual proportion to put in his internationally known feature. In an era when not many people traveled outside their own hometown, let alone out of the country, he became a compulsive traveler and journeyed whenever he could!
He ventured into unconventional areas in India and the Orient and visited people and cultures that most Americans never knew existed. His favorite destination was China, and for several months after he first traveled to the Orient, Ripley signed his cartoons Rip Li. It was also during these travels that he picked up many strange and unbelievable souvenirs that later became an extensive collection of amazing oddities and stories that serve to entertain the public even today.
"I have traveled in 201 countries and the strangest thing I saw was man" — Robert Ripley
An Uncommon Man
Ripley was commonly known as being extremely eccentric; his friends called him "his own greatest Believe It or Not!". Although he was noted as being extremely shy, he dressed in flamboyant color combinations, often wearing bat-wing ties, pith helmets, coolie shirts, and Eskimo parkas. He kept a 28-foot boa constrictor as a pet and let squirrels and chipmunks run around him while he drew. He thought both smoking and playing cards were evil, but was a heavy social drinker and a notorious ladies man, at times housing up to five or more live-in girlfriends at a time. He loved sailing and purchased a Chinese Junk he called "Mon Lei" or "Infinity", yet he couldn't swim a stroke. It has also been rumored that he changed his own birthday from December 26 to Christmas Day in order to accentuate his eccentricity! Given his unbelievable life, perhaps it is fitting that even Robert Ripley's death left the world wondering about the "Believe It of Not!" circumstances. At age 58, Ripley died while taping the 13th episode of his television series, an episode that dealt with death and death rituals. He passed out during the show, was taken to the hospital and, soon after, was pronounced dead of a heart attack.
Ripley's Legacy
Ripley's legacy and what he brought to the world is alive in all of the Ripley's Believe It or Not! museums and his traditions continue with the Believe It or Not! cartoon series. Today the daily cartoon is seen in nearly 200 newspapers worldwide, in 42 countries, and 17 languages. The majority of the exhibits in all of the Ripley's Believe It or Not! museums are based on the collections of oddities obtained by Ripley throughout his world travels. Every year millions of people visit the Ripley's museums to take part in the adventure, one in which they experience first-hand the incredible world of Robert Ripley! Believe It or Not!
