I was in Manchester on Monday for Opening Data – Opening Doors, a one-day "advocacy workshop" hosted by JISC and RLUK under their Resource Discovery Taskforce (#rdtf) programme. I delivered a five-minute 'personal pitch' about Jerome, open data, and the rapid-development ethos that's developing at Lincoln.
Ken Chad is writing up a report from the day and Helen Harrop is producing a blog, both of which will be signposted from the website: http://rdtf.mimas.ac.uk/
All the presentations can be viewed on slideshare, but there were some particular moments that I think are worth picking out:
The JISC deputy, Prof. David Baker was first up. His presentation, 'A Vision for Resource Discovery' should be compulsory reading for university librarians. See, in particular, slides #6 (guiding principles of the RDTF), #8 (a future state of the art by 2012), and #11 (key themes).
Following this introduction, there were three 'perspectives', short presentations "reflecting on the real world motivations and efforts involved in opening up bibliographic, archival and museums data to the wider world": from the National Maritime Museum, the National Archives…
…and from Ed Chamberlain of (Jerome's 'sister project') COMET (Cambridge Open METadata), the perspective from Cambridge University Library on opening up access to their non-inconsiderable bibliographic data. N.B. slides #4 (what does COMET entail?), #9 (licensing) and—more than anything else—slide #16 ("beyond bibliography").
The first breakout/discussion session which I sat in on looked at technical and licencing constraints to opening up access to [bib] data. This was the point at which the tortured business metaphors started to pile up. 'Buckets' of data. 'Elastic' buckets that can expand to include any kind of data. And (my personal contribution, continuing the wet theme): data often exist at the bottom of a 'well'. Just because a well is open at the top, it doesn't necessarily make it easy to get the water out! You need another kind of bucket – a service bucket that makes it possible to extract and make use of the water. Sorry, data. What were we talking about again?
Then a series of 5-minute 'personal pitches', including mine just after lunch. I didn't use slides, but I'm typing up my handwritten notes on Google Docs and I'll post them as a separate blog post when I get a chance.
David Kay (SERO), Paul Miller (Cloud of Data) and Owen Stephens delivered the meat of the afternoon session in their presentation, 'The Open Bibliographic Data Guide – Preparing to eat the elephant'. The website containing the Open Bib Data Guide (which has not been formally launched until now) can be found at: http://obd.jisc.ac.uk/
The site itself is going to be invaluable in hand-holding and guiding institutions through the possibilities in opening up access to their own bibliographic data (OBD). Slides from the presentation that are particularly worth noting are #8 (which shows the colour-coding used to distinguish the different OBD use-cases) and #14 (examples of existing OBD).
Paul Walk's presentation, 'Technical standards & the RDTF Vision: some considerations', is the source of the slide which I photographed (at the top of this blog post). Paul talked about 'safe bets'; aspects of the Web that we can rely on playing a part in allowing us to create a distributed environment for resource discovery: including "ROASOADOA" (Resource- / Service- / Data-Oriented Architecture), persistent identifiers, and a RESTful approach. See also this blog post.
In the second breakout/discussion session, we discussed technical approaches. One of the themes which we kept coming back to was that of two approaches (encapsulated by Paul's slide) which—while not mutually exclusive—may require different business cases or different explanations in order to be taken up by institutions. We characterised the two approaches as:
- Raw open data vs Data services
- Triple store vs RESTful APIs
- Jerome vs COMET (bit of a caricature, this one, but not entirely unjustified!)
I was gratified that Lincoln's approach to rapid development and provision of open services was also referred to in non-ungratifying terms, as a model which could be valuable for the HE sector as a whole.
Finally, we heard what's next for the #rdtf programme. It's going to be rebranded as 'Discovery' and formally re-launched under the new name at another event: 'Discovery – building a UK metadata ecology' on Thursday, 26 May 2011, in London. See you there?

Mr. and Mrs. Thomas did file a claim as part of the settlement agreement and as part of this process our team carefully re-examined the documentation they provided, as well as details surrounding their service request. They were notified by letter in November of the outcome of our investigation, which confirmed that their claim had been properly paid in accordance with the terms of their contract and the services they received. Background: Larry and Linda Thomas had a one-year home warranty plan with AHS beginning April 1, 2002 and expiring April 1, 2003. Our home warranties provide repair services in the event that covered items break down due to normal wear and tear. The homeowner placed service requests on three furnaces on or about March 24, 2003 and the onsite diagnosis found that all three furnaces had cracked heat exchangers. AHS authorized the replacement of the furnaces, but there were non-covered charges associated with the furnace replacements, as outlined in the terms of the agreement. Current concerns: In light of your tight deadline, we quickly reviewed readily available materials and could find no record of the homeowner expressing concerns about the permit process or quality of installation during the past 10 years. However, as a gesture of goodwill, we will be glad to reimburse the homeowner for an inspection performed by a licensed contractor of his/her choice and will share this with them in writing. Should the inspection find that the units were not properly installed, we will revisit the matter accordingly.
An Omaha couple upset over furnace replacements feels misled by a homeowner's warranty. Judging by a lawsuit, they're not alone.
"Definitely didn't get what we paid for," says Larry Thomas. Larry and Linda are doubting a warranty company properly handled replacement of three furnaces their home near 60th and State needs.
"If you don't have a city permit on something as important as a furnace that makes you wonder how safe everything is," says Linda.
There's another reason the Thomas' need to vent their anger. The furnaces installed less than 10 years ago have MUD approval, but no record of city permits and inspection as required by code.
"There may be something else that MUD doesn't look at, whether it be the fan installation or how the coil ties to the duct work," says Jay Davis, city permits and inspections director. "All those things need to be looked at as part of the code."
The couple has taped over gaps on the furnaces, but see evidence that more is needed. The Thomas' are worried about installation of these furnaces now that they've learned there's no city permits. Often, they say they can feel hot air blowing out from behind. So the couple has joined a class action suit against the warranty company American Home Shield.
"We believe the warranty didn't do what it said it would do or what we were told it would do," says Linda.
The Thomas' want $2,400 back the warranty didn't pay and expenses to cover a service call since there's no permits to prove proper installation. Joining a class action suit against the company may turn up the heat on their complaint.
After Fact Finders looked into this, American Home Shield said it will pay for a heating contractor to inspect the furnace. If it's not installed properly, the company will look at the claim again.

Big speakers make big noise: It's what they're for. Unfortunately, you often pay for that power, both in terms of cash and real estate. Dealing with a relatively small space and a not-so-big budget, the owner of this renovated 14-by-17-foot home theater took his custom electronic pro's advice and installed a total of six speakers to cover the front left, right and center channels of his surround-sound system.
"We had originally specified one large speaker each for the left, right and center, but SpeakerCraft was offering a deal on its Tantra In-Wall speakers, so took advantage of it and put two speakers at each channel," explains Shawn Worst of Evolution Home Theatre, San Diego, Calif. "Each channel now has dual tweeters and dual woofers, which can provide more raw audio power than a single woofer or tweeter on each channel could." And, because the Tantras are smaller than huge floorstanding speakers, Evolution was able to tuck them, as well as two B&K amplifiers, neatly into the custom cabinetry. Rounding out the 7.2 speaker arrangement are dual SpeakerCraft Tantra subwoofers (also in the cabinet) and Tantra bi-pole in-ceiling speakers.
The video keeps par with the audio, thanks to a 125-inch Screen Research CinemaScope screen and a Runco Q750i LED projector with a CinemaScope lens. "The homeowner watches everything in CinemaScope—movies, TV programs, sporting events," says Worst. "The virtual wide mode on the Runco projector does a good job of stretching non-CinemaScope formatted video to fit the screen, but without distorting the image." Another reason for choosing the Q750i, says Worst, is its long bulb life and fast start up time—a feature that's only made faster thanks to a Control4 automation system. Programmed by Worst, the Control4 processor synchronizes the activation of the entire theater environment. One command from a Control4 remote revs up the projector and the surround-sound processor while dimming the lights. Other one-command "macros" arrange the A/V and lighting for intermission and for when people leave the room after a movie.

Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are infectious diseases transmitted through sexual contact. The CDC estimates that 19 million new cases occur annually in the U.S. Fifty percent of the new infections occur in people between the age range of 15 to 24 years.
The best way to prevent contracting an STD is to abstain from any type of sexual activity, including oral, vaginal, and anal sex. However, if you decide to become sexually active, or are currently sexually active, there are several precautionary measures to follow, recommended by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, to help reduce your risk of developing a sexually transmitted disease. These include the following:
According to the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases and Centers for Disease Control, common types of STDs include:

All around the country, sports fans are gearing up for Super Bowl parties. Some people are perfecting onion dip, some are stocking up on Solo cups, and others are adding to their AV setups.
With the Baltimore Ravens and San Francisco 49ers heading to the big show this Sunday, there's no doubt that fans in those areas are frothing a little extra. After all, there's just something about cheering on the home team that makes home theater owners want to tweak.
According to the shopping app and website BuyVia, customers are currently on the hunt for bigger TVs. "When it comes to pre-Super Bowl purchases, clearly bigger is better," said Norman Fong, CEO and co-founder of BuyVia.
Mark Recene echoes that statement. He's the chief innovation officer and VP of sales at HS Technology Group, which is located right on the edge of Ravens territory, in Pikesville, Maryland. "Customers that just installed a 55-inch LED now want something larger."
How can you make the Super Bowl even more super? Let's take a peek at some of the requests that sports fans are seeking out from local installers in the areas of Baltimore and San Francisco. Check out our slideshow to see What Home Theater Fans are Buying in Baltimore and San Francisco.

Raiton/Suiton: Yakkaina Jōkyō | Lightning / Water Style: Sticky Situation
Type: Offensive
Rank: Forbidden
Range: Short - Long
Chakra: 50
Damage: 90
Description: The user will send suiton chakra into the ground and channel it beneath a target. They will draw the moisture from underground and create water. Then by performing the 'Dragon' hand seal the water will burst from underground from all around the opponen. The water erupting in the form of eight dragon headed shaped water tendrils that are fairly dense and have a sticky quality that enables them to cling to the opponent, as well as a having a high piercing rate. As the water bursts from the ground the user imbues it with a large amount of lightning chakra. The lightning increases the trendrils speed, making it exceedingly hard for the naked eye to track them. Enabling only a 2T or above/Byakugan user to precisely track the trendrils movements. The lightning chakra also allows the trendrils to constantly produce a electrical charge, the charge radiating outwards with a raidus of 5m from each trendril, the charge from a single trendril equating to C rank, two combined equating to B rank, four to A rank, and all eight to S rank . Once the trendrils attach to their tagert, the user can preform the 'Monkey' causing the trendrils to implode, severely damaging anything that the trendrils were attachted to. The trendrils are able to freely and rapidly attack anything within a short range radius of where they originally erupted from. This jutsu requires extreme concentration and takes both a mental, spiritual and physical toll on the user.
-Can only be used 1x
-This jutsu takes up 2/3 Move spots.
-The user is unable to engage in hand to hand combat for the next two turns.
-After use, the user will only be able to preform two jutsu's per turn for the next turn.
±± Declined ±± Oped. Also, forbidden rank = damage (real and perceivable damage) to yourself.
(Suiton : Sawarabi no Shubyou) Water Release : Dance of the Seedlings
Type: Offensive
Rank: A
Range: Short-Long
Chakra: 30
Damage: 60
Description: The user will spew a large drilling water bullet from their mouth, the water bullet travelling towards the opponent at fair speeds similar to that of Drilling Wind Bullet. During its flight, the water bullet will seperate into 20 smaller pebble sized drilling water bullets, diverging far from the path that their predecessor followed, and flying in arcs at great speeds, approaching the enemy from several directions and angles above ground, and striking the enemy in quick succesion. As they strike the enemy, they expand to the size of a bowling ball, dealing severe damage to the opponent. The division of the bullets timing, is pre-determined by the users intentions upon spewing the bullet.
-No Water above S-Rank for 2 turns
-Can only be used 4x.
±± Approved ±± Edited slightly.
Information, link of signing, and link of me taking over the contract, and link of the contracts approval can all be found by following said link and a few other links afterwards >_>
(Kuchiyose:Batoidea: Artemis)- Summoning: Batoidea: Artemis
Type: Summon
Rank: S
Range: Short
Chakra: 40
Damage: n/a
Description: Artemis, is a Stingray who is just larger than a human. Artemis's secondary ability is that rather than having a single barbed stinger, he has a indefinite amount. All grown through the stimulation of chakra, as a result the back of Artemis's tail resembles a spiked flail. Artemis is able to grow stingers on any point of his body, at rapid speeds and shoot them if need be. On the turn that Artemis is summoned he will immediately begin to grow a large amount of stingers, each set of stingers that Artemis grows will be infused with one of the basic 5 elemental chakras. The chakra will stay dormant until required by Artemis or the user. Artemis's main abilitiy is the ability to transform into a stark greyish dark turquoise bow of the finest quality and a quiver. His stingers acting as the arrows that fill the quiver and still retaining their venomous capabilities ( the venom from a single stinger produces paralysation for two turns, on the third the opponent dies). "Quiver" Artemis is able to change the shape of the arrows in accordance to the users will. The user is able to fire the arrow shaped stingers through use of "Bow" Artemis at high speeds with extreme dexterity, while firing the user can add a small amount of basic chakra that reacts with the dormant elemental chakra. Causing the fired stinger to become coated in a aura of elemental chakra that leaves a trail (3m long) behind the arrow at all times that slices anything that it comes in contact with (Within reason). Artemis's abilties allows multiple elemental arrows to be fired simultaneously. If the user fires a lightning or fire coated arrow, he can perform a single hand seal, (Ox) causing the arrow and its coating to explode in a A rank equivalent electrical/fiery discharge sending venomous shrapnel flying all over the place. Once per turn the user is able to fire five arrows each with one of the five basic elements at the same time, activating the dormant element within with a huge surge of basic chakra. Creating a mixed elemental coating that races towards the enemy, taking on the form of a gigantic multi colored arrow equal to Forbidden rank. The arrow demolishes everything in its path while travelling at extreme speeds. This takes a toll on the user as the backlash effect of releasing the combo pulsates throughout their body. Leaving them paralysed for 3 seconds as well as dealing strain to their torso. It also takes a extreme toll on Artemis, who is capable of only releasing two of these per battle. This technique is known as "Maximum Arrow" and has no elemental weaknesses or strengths.
Note: Artemis can only stay on the field for 5 turns.
Note:Making the arrow explode counts as a jutsu.
Note:Firing an element imbued arrow does not count as a jutsu.
Note:Artemis can only be summoned once per battle.
Note: Maximum Arrow Counts as Jutsu
Note:The chakra/elemental chakra imbued stinger arrows are capable of piercing through D rank jutsu that their neutral to, and C rank that their element is strong against.
±± Declined ±± The parts are bolded need to be clarified. Also, the idea is awesome. Indeed it is. But you are adding too many abilities to the arrows and the spikes and the chakra and and and and and and and and.... you get my drift. Simplify it.

Containing your Team from the In-Seam, these nifty boys can be outfitted with many pockets, ketchup sauce, zippers, tags, rips, and maybe some jizz from last night. Quite possibly the single coolest invention outside of the xbox and tantric sex, the pants are a revered piece of clothing that girls REALLY dont need to wear.

1 box white cake mix
(ingredients called for on cake mix box; egg whites, oil and water)
2 1/2 teaspoons mint extract, divided use
green food color
1 jar (16 oz.) hot fudge topping
1 container (8 0z.) whipped topping, thawed
Creme de Menthe chocolate candies chopped into pieces
Preheat oven to 350F degrees.
Spray 9x13 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
Make cake mix per the directions on the back of the box.
Add in 2 tsp. of the mint extract and the green food color. I'm using liquid food coloring here.
If you have the food coloring paste, just add until you reach desired color.
Pour batter into baking dish and cook for time listed on back of cake mix box.
Once it is finished baking, allow the cake to cool completely.
Spread hot fudge sauce on cooled cake.
(See Cook's Notes below)
Stir it up.
If you'd like, you can add in more green food coloring until you've reached the desired color.
But if you can't find those, just pick up a bag of the Andes Creme de Menthe thins in the candy section of your grocery store and give them a rough chop.
This cake will need to be stored in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
Cook's Note: If the hot fudge sauce is hard to spread at room temperature, try putting it in the microwave (with the lid removed) for about 15-20 seconds. Stir it with a spoon until you get it to a spreadable consistency. You don't want it to be hot and liquid-y. It should still be a thick but spreadable consistency. Make sure your fudge layer is completely cool before adding whipped topping.

The American Vintage series introduces an all-new lineup of original-era model year guitars that bring Fender history and heritage to authentic and exciting new life. With key features and pivotal design elements spanning the mid-1950s to the mid-1960s, new American Vintage series instruments delve deep into Fender's roots—expertly preserving an innovative U.S. guitar-making legacy and vividly demonstrating like never before that Fender not only knows where it's going, but also remembers where it came from.
The American Vintage Series has long presented some of Fender's best selling guitars (their early-'80s introduction, in fact, was one of the first signs that Fender was "back" as the CBS era ended). Today, Fender has boldly cleared the slate to make way for a fresh American Vintage series with new features, new specs and the most meticulous level of vintage accuracy yet. Rather than just replacing the previous models with different ones, we've completely and comprehensively re-imagined the entire vintage-reissue concept—restoring original tooling dies, voicing new pickups, reformulating vintage colors and more—based on actual vintage guitars we tracked down to make sure we had it right. We did the work, and it shows, because there's pure tonal magic in each new American Vintage instrument.
Nowhere is this re-dedication to detail more evident than on the left-handed American Vintage '52 Telecaster® guitar, which returns to the fold with body, neck and pickups refined with the best features (tones, curves, perimeters, radii and more) from a handful of extraordinary '52 Telecaster specimens we examined. Premium features include an ash body with a singe-ply black pickguard and thin nitrocellulose lacquer finish in lighter Butterscotch Blonde, deep maple neck with "U"-shaped profile and generously rolled edges, sculpted headstock volute for even more first-position comfort, long-lost recessed-top "barrel" switch tip, vintage tuner spacing for truly straight string pull over the bone nut, vintage-style bridge with three brass saddles, and knurled chrome domed control knobs.

maverick is a verb used when one is pwned, or more accurately, to be mavericked is more extreme than being pwned. When one mavericks, he becomes a maverick, which is the noun version of the word.
verb - Omg, that guy just killed me across the map with an Assault Rifle, he totally mavericked me.
Noun - he's such a maverick
Noun - he's such a maverick

Post subject: Evaluation
I gave BLAG a try.
Overall, it is very good.
Impressive looking.
Great collection of packages.
Here are my faults with Blag:
On install, Blag detected a previous install of RH 9.0 and I had the option of upgrading. I tried this twice. Each time, it starting going through the motions but then would have a problem with trying to access some file (i know, i should have written the file name down).
OK, I rebooted off the CD again. This time I chose a new install to overwrite the RH 9.0 install. Everything installed perfectly (I repeated this with different install options 'desktop', server', etc. Actual install takes about 10 - 20 minutes depending upon the options chosen.
After I logged in as a regular user, I tried Kino. No luck. Modules not loaded.
as root I had to # modprobe raw1394 and # modprobe video1394.
Ok, the modules loaded so I added them to /etc/modules
Ok, then Kino worked as root, but not a regular user. So I did the chown, chmod routine & then It worked as a regular user.
I tried using my modem. No gnome-ppp. No graphical dialer (that I have found).
OK, I found wvdial. Ill try that. Worked as root, but not as a regular user. Back to the chown, chmod routine.
These are the ONLY problems I had with Blag.

Thanks for your feedback.
For upgrading over an existing RH9 install, it probably croaked because the CD doesn't have everything needed that RH9 might want. For instance, if you had glibc-devel installed, and it tried to upgrade glibc, the glibc-devel dependency would complain.
One way to upgrade an existing RH9 install is to do it via apt-get. Download BLAG's apt RPM, install it. Then:
apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade
apt-get install [packages you want]
Another way to install over an existing RH9 is to do it from the DVD (see developers section on the website). Note the DVD is for "developers"--you sound like you know what's up.
It makes sense to me that you had to modprobe video1394. Not sure how to get around that at this point. I'll see if I can get it fixed upstream.
As for kino having to run as root, I'm not quite sure. You were able to run the application fine, ya? Was it you just couldn't access firewire or something?
I assume you chowned something in /dev. If so, can you let me know what files you chowned? Basically, if they get added to /etc/security/console.perms, they automajickally get chowned to the user that owns the console.
Cool that you're up & running with kino. :)
I bugzilla'd Fedora about the serial port ownership yesterday. I can do it for whatever /dev's you needed to. They'll hopefully get the ownership of the serial ports fixed in Fedora Core 2.
There is some graphical dialing action in
Menu->System Tools-Network Device Control
A number of people have griped about the crappy modem GUI stuff though. I'll check out gnome-ppp.
Posted: Tue Apr 06, 2004 6:47 pm
Post subject:
Hmm. Looks like gnome-ppp is ancient-ware. I don't see a new replacement for it. Know of any other substitutes? Lots of the other GUI dialers look unmaintained. I did a quick hunt through freshmeat and nothing looks too tasty.
kppp is nice, but I don't have space to include KDE on the CD.
Let me know what you think of Network Device Control. It may suck less in FC1...in FC2 its probably pretty nice as Gnome 2.6 looks pretty hot in general.
Posted: Wed Apr 07, 2004 5:16 am
Post subject:
Kppp is the best modem dialer out there that I know of. Otherwise the only other good way is to use the activate option in the network config.

Post subject: ppp Dialer
Thanks jebba,
As for kino having to run as root, I'm not quite sure. You were able to run the application fine, ya? Was it you just couldn't access firewire or something?
Right. As a regular user I had no access to firewire.
I did:
added group video and
# chown root:video /dev/video1394
I found some very lightweight ppp dialers here:
gppp-wvdial (front end to Wvdial)
gppp (still pre-alpha)
gtkdial (another front end to wvdial)
chesnut dialer (python)
I skipped all the Qt based dialers. I like the idea of a front end to wvdial, as it is already installed.
Posted: Wed Apr 07, 2004 4:06 pm
Post subject:
Thanks for the list of potential dialers.
I generally only want to include stuff that is still maintained.
gppp-wvdial = untouched since 2002
x-wvdial = untouched, looks quite alpha
gppp = pre-alpha
gppp-wrap = umm, maybe. Kinda looks like a one-off
gtkdial = untouched since 2002
gkdial = untouched since 2001
chestnet = looks quite alpha
Hmm. I don't mean to just be a downer on all of them, as I'd really like something along the lines of kppp. But I also don't want to include some GUI dialer that should work, but just causes it's own bunch of problems.
Have you used any of the above? Also, have you tried the Network Device Control yet?
As for chown/chmodding /dev/video* I don't quite see what it was necessary as it should be owned to the console owner when you log in. Are you in runlevel 5 (GUI login)?
Posted: Thu Apr 08, 2004 2:46 am
Post subject:
You are Right.
The network device control works perfectly OK.
I just wasn't aware of it when I started up Blag for the first time.
The first place I looked was in the submenu 'internet' and I looked through various other submenus of the launcher.
Maybe a link could be put in 'internet' in the default menu.
Everything seems to run very smooth. Kino works great grabbing video from my firewire card. Palm pilot, digital camera, media card reader all are working. Much less hassles setting up external devices than any other disto. Hey, it makes me want to go out and buy a bunch more gadgets to try and see if they work. :D
Very friendly looking too.
I should explain that I have been using Debian for the last 2 or 3 years, so it has been a while since I have used Mandrake, Turbolinux,Redhat, and Slackware. So I am bumping into some of the furnature that has been rearrainged.
Nice to see Nedit here too.

Basically, if they get added to /etc/security/console.perms, they automajickally get chowned to the user that owns the console.
This is something I was unaware of. But at the time, I think I was logged into X as a regular user and on tty1 & 2 as root if that makes a difference.
I'll have to go Read The Fine Manual.
Posted: Thu Apr 08, 2004 8:04 am
Post subject:
Ahh, yes. It could be that the console was owned by root. If you had only been logged in as a regular user in runlevel 5, or a regular user had console access, /dev/video would have been owned by that user. Logging in as root on the console may have changed that ownership. So you probably didn't need to chown/chmod those devices to get kino working. You probably needed to modprobe though...
It's pam stuff.

Home Theatre
In todayââ¬â¢s world everybody wants to have a Home Theatre. The cost of going to the movies has sky-rocketed plus you lose the intimacy of a small gathering. Having your own Home Theatre allows you to entertain a few friends or just simply enjoy the privacy of your own home.
Before you go out and start buying, there are a few things you need to think about. You need to know what essentials you will need to successfully set up your theater room. The size of your room will determine what size TV you need. If your room is very large you might want to consider getting a projector.
You will also need to consider what type lighting is in the room. If the room receives direct sunlight you will need to install curtains or shades that block the light. You will need to have some type lighting that will not glare nor distract from what you are viewing.
If your room has carpeting you will need to research what type sound system you will need since carpeting absorbs and muffles the sound. Probably the most popular type sound system is surround sound which gives you the effect of being right in the middle of the action.
Essential Elements
There are several factors that come into play when you are setting up your Home Theatre. It is possible that you already have several items that you will be putting into your Home Theatre. There are certain elements that are essential in any Home Theatre such as a TV or some type video display unit, a DVD player, speakers, and all of the cables needed for the connections.
If you are beginning your Home Theatre from scratch you are probably looking at spending a minimum of $1,000 on equipment alone.
If your Home Theatre requires any minor construction such as housing for the TV and providing mounts for the speakers you can expect to spend more.
When it comes to the bottom line, you have to ask yourself how much you want to put into your Home Theatre. You can spend a lot of money or you can scale down and use some of the elements you already have in your house. By starting small you will be able to add items to the room as you get the money. There are no iron-clad rules; your Home Theatre should be tailored to suit your needs.

yeah no
dam the square root function on this is touchy
but the slope is unknown also......
How can i have 2 variables? Why would the X value even fucking matter, and what x value?? 9, 5 is the value, what other x value is there?
Well just use my formula and extrapolate backwards, X in my formula is slope, so plug into all the x's the formula using the x value that is used to find the slope.
the distance is the square root of x^2 - 18x +106
ok right now my best guess is:
L(x) = SQRT(x^2 + (5x/(x-9))^2)
it works at least when the slope is -1
and by distance i meant LENGTH SWNJDN FUCK YOWMEP
take the point specified in the question (9, 5) and take the point where the line meets the x axis (x, 0)
use the distance formula.
sqrt((x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2)
you get my answer.
take the point specified in the question (9, 5) and take the point where the line meets the x axis (x, 0)
use the distance formula.
sqrt((x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2)
you get my answer.
God please explain to me what x value the L is being based on, the legth on X as in the base of the triangle? I swear to god my slope answer is 100% right, i don't understand what other x value there is...
and i specifically don't get how you can get the distance without knowing the slope!
hypotenuse = sqrt(x^2 + y^2)
so we know L(x) = the same. we want to find y.
draw the triagle and think about x varying and what happens to y, knowing that (9,5) is the 'pivot' so to speak. as x tends to infinity, y tends to 5. as x tends 9, y tends to inifity. 5x/(x-9) is a function consistent with those limits, so it's your y. plug it in and there you go.

Post subject: First Game Played...
got to play the game and we had a blast.
There were five players: three playing the Feds with a CA, FFG and POL, versus a Lyran CA (me) and a Klingon D7. It was a 3x2 battle-zone with a planet right in the middle and we all started out spread out with each ship starting on the edge of a separate map-board. As this was the first game for everyone, we used only the rules found in the First Missions pdf with the single addition of High Energy Turns from the main rules.
In Turn one , the ships closed, but instead of grouping together with the other Feds for safety, the POL, the USS Phil, zoomed into conflict with the Lyran CA, the LMS Intimidator. So in a single turn Captain Phil learned just how quickly a Heavy Cruiser can destroy a Police Cutter: one impulse of firing. I hit almost everything in his ship and tore apart the tiny frame, reducing it to so much floating scrap. The Intimidator's Captain, Shere Khan, cried out in victory 'Eat void, monkey-boy!'
The D7 moved to take on the FFG and the Cruiser and got into a furball just the other side of the planet from my conflict. He managed to seriously damage the FFG, who was barreling along at 24+1 the whole game, with minimal damage in return. In doing so, however, he allowed the Fed CA to sneak into his aft and hammer him from behind with everything it had before I could make my way back to him. Scratch one D7.
Now I was on the tail of the Fed CA, having skirted the planet, stalker style from behind, while he was gloating over the ruins of the Klingon ship. A merry chase ensued as he jinked and dodged, but my High Energy turn eventually allowed me to score some decent hits on him. The FFG had jetted off to avoid me and make some repairs, and, with our weapons spent, I allowed the CA to move off as well and switched my pursuit to the miniscule Frigate.
Now it was time for a reversal of tactics, as the CA tried to come up on my tail before I could finish off the FFG. The player of the Frigate made a critical error, however, turning back towards me to present a fresh shield arc, but misjudging our movement and presenting a totally downed one instead. There was nothing left for the Fed CA to save.
Now it was a duel to the Death between my relatively unscratched CA (one PH-3, which had been repaired) and the lightly damaged Fed. We chased each other for two whole turns before I got a god rear shot, ripping chunks out of the ship, but failing to hit any weapons. In a desperate last measure in the first impulse of turn 4, the Fed risked a second HET, in order to face me down at point blank range with all his weapons charged and his remaining Photon loaded. He rolled the die.
A 4! He swung around and both ships let loose with everything they had. He ripped through my forward shield and raked my Port hull with a vengeance, but in the end, my double disrupter, triple PH-1 barrage (with a PH-3 thrown in for good measure) reduced his frame to molten slag.
In all, everyone that played really loved the game and thought it played extremely quickly. We finished in roughly 3 hours, but the time flew for everyone. It didn't drag at all, even with all of is being novices. Towards the end, with only two ships remaining, we were zipping through an impulse in about a minute.
Mind you we skipped the Def Fire and Other Systems phases the whole game (no drones, no ESG's, no marines, etc.) but we plan to introduce more of that as we go along and get used to the flow of the game. I'm thinking that, now that we have movement and basic weapons in hand, we'll introduce everything that has to do with the Defensive Fire Phase (including seeking weapons, and such) next. After that, We'll start adding in Other Systems phase and all those wrinkles. We should be fully up to speed in another couple of games.
I love this game and I plan to play it all summer. I'm even planning a campaign for sometime in July. And considering the number of people who played the first game and all the curious spectators we had (many of whom uttered the word 'cool' numerous times), it looks as though we might have enough players for a full roster of races. I'm stoked...

Thanks, all! It was a great learning run, but I think it only scratched the surface of the tactical possibilities and our tactical approach will change significantly as the game progresses.
For instance, we all pretty much held our weapons fire until we were within 3-4 hexes of range and then let loose with everything in our arsenal. No one tried a long range shot the whole game and it was very much a battle between wooden ships in space: pull up close and release the broadsides. As I've read more of the rules, including those concerning Marines, suicide shuttles and the like, I'm thinking there will be a lot more distant engagement in the future to whittle the enemy down before plunging in for the kill. Especially with my Lyran ESG in play.
I think the addition of Drones and Fighters in the next game is also going to change things considerably. I read somewhere that in empty space, Drones create a type of 'terrain' that must be maneuvered around and they will make it harder just to swoop in on the enemy and let loose with everything, as you'll need to divert resources to picking those little beggars off. In all, I am looking forward to seeing how the game evolves as we learn more of the rules and their subtleties...

Ok, don't take this the wrong way, but Your spec is bad. I have an arcane mage with a similar GS to yours, and I pull between 7.5-8.5k dps on ICC10 bosses including Rotface and Festergut (and yes, I do my job and don't just stand there nuking or it would be higher), and I'm still not happy with that. I'm going to come off as rather mean in this post, but take it with a grain of salt. It's mean because it's going to end up being so long because I'm going to explain your errors and how to fix them in detail, and WHY, instead of just saying "use this spec and you'll be l33t".
You've gone far too deep into the Fire tree, taking abilities that don't help your arcane spec in any way whatsoever. Arcane Mage DPS is based off single target damage, not aoe's from fire or any fire spells whatsoever. Lose the points you have in ignite, impact, and improved fire blast (since none of those should be in your rotation as arcane anyway) and keep your 3/3 incineration because it gives your arcane blast 6% more crit chance.
As for your arcane tree, another set of bad choices. Arcane Mages are focused on SP & Haste. You skip some of the basic haste abiltiies and take others that are of 0 use to you since you should be using your Molten Armor anyway.
Your spec & glyphs should look like this: http://www.wowhead.com/?talent#of0Vs...cZbhf0o:Nzi0mV and if you do any runs in ICC it should look like this: http://www.wowhead.com/?talent#of0Vc...cZbhf0o:Nzi0mV (until 3.3.3 comes out, then skip it)
I'll proceed to explain why.
Arcane Fortitude - great for pvp, crap for pve. If you are doing your job right as a DPS, you aren't taking damage in a raid, or if you are, it's not enough to bother with this ability. Doesn't help you in any way. You have 3/3.
Arcane Stability - this talent is kinda optional. Again, in these raids pushback and damage interruption should be minimal, and you can avoid some damage interruption by popping Icy Veins (discussed later)
Magic Attunement - This talent is also optional. I use it in one of the specs, but what it gives you in utility point for point with stuff from the rest of the Arcane and Frost trees far outdoes any benefit you gain from putting it at 2/2.
Improved Counterspell - again, great for pvp, fail for pve. You just worry about stopping spells in mid-cast. Let priests silence the mobs that can be. Bosses are immune to silence (but not always the interrupt) so this is a waste of 2 points for you.
Improved Blink - worthless for pve. Not even sure why you thought about it. General rule for pve DPS - "if this doesn't improve my damage or my ability to deal damage more efficiently, why would I take it?" It's great for BG's, total fail for Raids.
Prismatic Cloak - fail for pve. Again, damage absorbtion is not your concern, DPS is. You aren't a tank. Another PvP talent you wasted 3 points in.
Now for the things you need to take and why:
2/2 Arcane Subtlety - Reduces Threat. You don't necessarily need this, but I draw threat with 2/2 and a pally tank dropping 9k TPS, so I advise it.
3/3 Arcane Focus - You don't have enough hit @ 260 to be hit capped for bosses. This effects your DPS directly. If you ever see "miss", you fail. Sadly, arcane mages only need 210 hit if they take 3/3 arcane focus and 3/3 precision (in frost), making room for craploads of SP and Haste which directly effects your dps. Also, Arcane is extremely mana intensive as a spec for bossfights (if done correctly) and you will run OOM even with all the abilities that reduce mana usage taken. This is not optional.
1-3/3 Student of the Mind - if you are using the T9 2pc set bonus (which you are), this increases your crit chance as well as your mana regen. Mana regen is awesome, but avoid MP5 on items like the plague.
3/3 Arcane Meditation - mana regen while casting is HUGE. Not optional.
5/5 Arcane Mind - increases your mana pool and crit chance. Not optional.
0-3/3 Incanters absorption - optional based on the bossfight, increases your spell power based on the damage you absorb, so pop your frost ward on Marrowgar and stand in the coldflame for a few seconds to spike your dps by a couple hundred points. Not needed for all fights, and is getting nerfed in 3.3.3 into uselessness.
3/3 Netherwind Presence - increases your HASTE. Not optional. Point for point haste>crit for arcane mages.
3/3 Ice Floes - reduces the cooldown of your Icy Veins. Self explanatory.
2/3 Frostbite - fills space, not completely useless, but needs to be taken to move to the next step on the tree
2/2 Frost Warding - extra spell absorbtion and potential mana regen. Not bad.
3/3 Precision - less mana use and 3% extra hit. That's huge. Also takes you to that 210 hit to reach cap to hit bosses.
1/1 Icy Veins - self explanatory, I hope.
Make a macro that combines your Arcane Power and icy Veins in one keystroke and you have your own personal mini-heroism/bloodlust.
Also, macro in your nevermelting ice crystal with your talisman of resurgence and your arcane blast. This maximizes your spellpower and crit boost uptime and makes sure you never miss the opportunity to use it.
Glyphs - Arcane Blast, Arcane Missiles, Molten Armor. End of story. Not Optional.
Gearing - Get your 4pc T9 using head, shoulders, pants, and gloves. The extra it gives you outweighs anything you get from the 245 head & shoulders. Run VoA 10 & 25 every week and try to get your t10 pants & gloves to drop. Don't buy them with frost badges, only buy your head & shoulders. For the chest, get a Merlins Robe made, and for your wrists get Bejeweled Wizards Bracers made. Later trade your merlins robe in for a meteor chaser's raiment
For your weapon, lose the 81 spellpower and get a Black Magic enchant. I'd try for the 264 Frozen Bonespike (with Black Magic) off Marrowgar and then the Shriveled Heart for HHoR final boss (rawr shows higher dps than 264 Nibelung.)
Gem for Spellpower in any slot you can, and spellpower/haste in yellows as long as it gives you more than 5 spellpower for the socket bonus. Any less, go 23 spellpower regardless. If you gem blues, use 12 SP 10 SPI to activate your meta.
When choosing gear, focus on items with Spellpower, Haste, and Crit. Skip them if they are just spellpower/crit unless it's a huge upgrade for you.
You also need to use a belt buckle on your belt to add a socket, and you need to enchant your Bracers, your chest and your Boots. Boots go with Tuskarr's Vitality (increases movement & adds huge survivability) and bracers use spellpower, chest go 10 all stats. Try to hit 3k SP and at least 700 haste as a starting point. Replace your nevermelting ice crystal with the Abyssal Rune if you get the chance. Lower gearscore, but higher DPS overall. (same happens with offhand. Shriveled Heart > Scourgelords Baton in both 251 and 264 forms, and the heart is only 232 Ilvl)
I think that's it. ABx4 or until it procs Arcane Barrage, then fire arcane missiles, rinse & repeat. Toss your AP/IV macro in for mini-heroism, and your trink macros into your Arcane Blast will increase base DPS by a ton. Also, make liberal use of Flasks of the Frost Wyrm, 46 Spellpower food (either fish feast or tender shoveltusk steak) and crazy alchemist potions & mana gems in a cycle to maintain your mana pool. If you have any questions, let me know.

Microfibers are tiny synthetic fibers that measure less than one denier in size. They are one of the most commonly used fabrics in the upholstery industry because of their ability to repeal moisture and their strength and durability against wear and tear. This fabric can be used to make woven, non-woven and knitted textiles. Microfibers are also very soft to the touch, so they are great in water repellent clothing.
Machine wash cold, tumble dry low. No ironing necessary. Made from 100% polyester.
Made in China.
PLEASE NOTE: We make every effort to ensure colors are represented accurately online. Due to possible variances in manufacturer dye lots, however, colors may vary slightly from what is depicted. Also, due to the printing process of the pattern, slight imperfections in the pattern may exist.
Sheets can be made from many different fabrications. Various fibers and weaves are ultimately responsible for the particular performance characteristics of a sheet set.
Thread Count
Quality sheets are often defined by the thread count of the fabric. Thread count is the number of woven threads in one square inch of fabric. Higher thread counts create higher-quality, more durable weaves that generally feel smoother and softer. Lower thread counts can pill and feel rough, but are affordable and aptly serve their purposes. Common thread counts range from 180 to 1,200. While important, thread count does not alone determine how a fabric performs and feels. Also consider the yarn size and ply when determining the level of quality you desire.
Make sure you have precisely measured your mattress for its length, width and height. Most mattresses are usually made in specific standard sizes, but there is the possibility of slight variances. Deep pockets will be required for Eurotop or pillow top mattresses.

In the concrete Prada space, with the sounds of Elin Klinga's haunting voice on Spark's 'Garbo Sings' and models in drop waisted coats, with deep fur shawl collars and cloche hats it only took a small leap of imagination to be transported to a nightclub in Berlin in the 1930's.
Miuccia Prada is not naturally nostalgic. When the season is in the grip of another style revival (favourite decade this time out: the 1970's) hers is the show we all look forward to for some steer to the future. But she is a romantic and a modernist and so if she was going to take refuge from the future in a chapter of the past, Weimar Germany is a likely choice. The decades between the wars were noted for a creative surge in art, architecture, two of Miuccia's passions. And last night the style icon of the time, Greta Garbo, took to the Prada catwalk in 21st century form.
Loose drop waisted shifts with box pleated skirts hovering above the knee were accessories with helmet hats fastened with straps under the chin and clutch bags gripped chest high. Boots that looked like knee socks in sturdy high heeled loafer had a distinctly cubist feeling.
Colours were very Wiener Werkstatte: golden yellows, honey browns, rusty reds and black. Until the very end, when a series of cocktail dresses, in the same drop waisted shape, covered in translucent paillettes jangled down the runway in a pale metallic shimmer.
It's a bit of a worry in troubled times like these when designers drift back to the thirties for inspiration. Hopefully there's absolutely no connection with what happened next. Regardless of the historical references: you will want the shawl collared coats and the clutch bags.

Brother P-Touch 2100 label printer
While paper dominates most printing issues, there are those who need a different kind of beast to print on plastic to produce long-lasting identification and warning labels. The old embossed Dymo tape of yore, adorning dad's tool drawers and just about every fuse box in the land, while still going today, has had to give way to …
"Common symbols like exclamation..."
Hmmm, looking at the picture, you might try SHIFT-1, just like on a PC keyboard, to get an exclamation mark (it looks like all the numbers can be shifted to get symbols).
Now, the missing brackets I'll give you - but they're likely to be used a lot less often on labels than with ordinary typing (or writing code).
Label printers are great
I have a different (cheaper) model of Brother P-touch label printer; mine has the keyboard input but no USB socket for connection to a PC. I bougth mine for about 30 pounds when it was on sale in a shop a few years ago. There are many practical uses for the labels from such printers, especially if you use a narrower label tape (I think I normally use a 9mm tape). Here are my most common uses.
Print labels saying "TV", "radio", "lamp", "computer", "speakers", and so on, and stick these on all the plugs in your house. You will then never accidentally unplug the wrong piece of equipment.
If you frequently print and bind documents with a plastic-comb binding machine then print the name of the document on a label and stick this on the spine of the plastic comb. It makes it much easier to find a specific document on a shelf-full of bound documents.
Print your email address and mobile phone number on a few labels; some label printers can print two lines of (small) text on label tape, so such labels can be quite compact. Stick these labels on pieces of luggage that have a hard-case, on your laptop computer, on gadgets and so on. If any of these items get lost then the finder will have your contact details to report it.
Print in large letters on a (wide tape) label a message like "No free newspapers, leaflets or catalogues" and stick that on your letterbox. It will eliminate a lot of the junk that you would otherwise receive.
I agree with the manufacturer's claim that the labels are very durable. The label attached to my letterbox has been there for several years without peeling off or showing signs of weather damage. Likewise, the contact-details labels on my luggage are still intact (unlike the countless luggage tags that I had used previously).
Here are some other tips. If you buy a machine without a power adapter then don't bother buying a power adapter separately. Just run it off batteries. The first set of batteries in my machine lasted for several years of occasional use. The machine turns off automatically after being idle for several minutes, which helps prolong the batter life. The recommended retail price of the label tape is a bit expensive; typically about 10 pounds or more for one tape. Whenever I am running low on labels, I hunt for bargins on eBay.
Based on your review, I thought higher then 70%
Based on the rather glowing description in your review, I thought it would get higher then 70%. The only negatives were that it wastes tape (by design I believe all brands of this type of label printer waste quite a bit of tape at the end of a label.) It doesn't have a full keyboard (pretty minor) and the computer software which many people will never use is Windows only (maybe a more major gripe, but also not unexpected as Linux and Mac OS X always take a back seat.)
So with all that, I figured you'd give it a 90% or so. Very odd.
OSS Drivers
While very limited, there are some open source (foomatic) drivers and filters available for the Brother pTouch line from the OpenPrinting folks. While I've had little luck getting anything other than garbled dots and dashes out of my PT2610, a little bit of work on the code should get useful results for the more diligent among us.
@Ciaran McHale
I agree with you, Ciaran. I have a cheapie Dymo LabelPoint 100 that takes 6mm and 9mm tapes, and run it off batteries. The original set of batteries lasted about 4-5 years, and were replaced for the first time recently. It's great to be able to label network cables, external HD enclosures, plugs, and all sorts of stuff with long-lasting, yet neat, labels.
The "wastage" is unfortunate, but difficult to avoid, since the labels have to be fed out of the machines in order for us to take them, and there needs to be room for the cutter too. That would need to be much closer to the tape spool in order to eliminate the "white space", and the spools would likely be much harder to fit in that scenario.
@Steve Foster
Agreed - I have a Dymo LabelPoint 150 for Network, system and labelling the tea and coffee jugs - and it does what it says on the tin - prints labels from the nice and small to the stupidly large to indicate a switch is dead and don't use it.
It's defiantly a tool an engineer should have if they're trying to document things and work out where they should go.
My soultion to the wastage (apart from printing smaller labels) is to use a pair of scissors to do trimming with - part of the issue is the amount of feed is required.
But unless you're printing every 5 minutes, tapes last for a fair old time in my experience
Very Useful tool...
I've used various iterations of the P-Touch and M-touch label machines for a number of years. They are ideal for just about any task that requires a label- I used mine primarily for labeling network and telcomm connections, printers, and servers. While the PC interface is a handy feature to have, it's only really useful for batch operations and a bit of mucking about with their software.
Tape wastage
The reason I made the wastage comment is that the Dymo LabelWriter Duo, for example, doesn't waste tape in the same way. OK, it's a label printer, rather than a standalone label-maker, but it uses very similar technology. All it really needs to avoid the wastage is some way to wind the tape back, so the print head lines up with start of each label -- not too hard to achieve, I wouldn't have thought. I reckon 12% wastage on an average length of label is quite high.
Steve, I'll give you exclamation mark, but it still can't do (, ), ", _, +, = or @ from the keyboard, only by selection from a menu. Some symbols are more essential than others for labels, or course.
Reducing wastage of label tape
If you know that you need to print several labels then the you can reduce the amount of tape wastage by printing one (long) label that contains all the text you want, separated by a few space characters, and then use a scissors to cut out the individual labels. For example, when labelling plugs, print one label that says "TV radio kettle toaster hi-fi DVD".
Hasn't ANYONE read their manual, or just tried fiddling with the settings ?
The Brother label printers I've used have a setting to control the tape usage. If printing several labels, just turn down the tape setting and it shoves out less blank tape - you then need to cut the labels apart with scissors. The default setting adds blank tape to shift the printed label clear of the cutter PLUS sufficient extra blank tape to make the resulting labels symmetrical.
I've used different versions of these printers for years - wouldn't be without them.
PS - the labels are actually laminated - there is nothing high tech about this. Pull an old cartridge apart and you'll find that it contains three rolls of material. First there is the base - the background colour with adhesive and peel off backing paper. Then there is a roll of ordinary thermal transfer 'ink' in whatever colour the text is printed. Lastly there is a clear layer (with it's own adhesive back) which is laminated onto the front of the background after printing. The result is (as others have said) a very durable label.
Now if only they did Mac software for these.

Yamaha just announced a slew of new soundbars—three, to be exact. Of course, each one is designed to give a nice little boost to the sound coming out of your current TV setup. Well, some are going to give a bigger boost than others.
The "entry-level" model is the YAS-201, which features a low-profile soundbar and a 100-watt wireless subwoofer. The system also includes a few Yamaha extras. First up is Surround Xtreme, which boasts 7.1 channels of virtual surround sound, as well as support for Dolby Digital and DTS surround sound formats. Also included is the UniVolume feature to get rid of those volume spikes and Clear Voice, which boasts better overall dialogue. Yamaha plans to start shipping the YAS-201 in November, with an MSRP of $449.95.
For something with a little more power, Yamaha also has the YSP-4300 and YSP-3300 Digital Sound Projectors. Each one has Yamaha's proprietary YSP front surround sound technology and a 130-watt wireless active sub.
Yamaha has packed the YSP-4300 with 22 individual speaker drivers—each of which has its own amplifier. This model also has two additional woofers in the center, 324 watts of power, a front-panel USB port, and an FM tuner. The YSP-3300 has 16 speaker beam drivers and two woofers, promising a total of 262 watts.
Both the YSP-4300 and the YSP-3300 have something called "Target Mode," designed to aim sound at a specific listening position. Other common features include Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD decoding, 10 CINEMA DSP programs, four HDMI inputs with 3D and ARC support, adjustable feet, and built-in IR repeaters.
The YSP-4300 and YSP-3300 should also start selling in November. Expect to see MSRPs listed at $1,899.95 and $1,599.95, respectively. All three models also work with the upcoming YIT-W12 yAired transmitter, which allows users to stream music from an iPod, iPhone or PC right to the soundbar. That little perk will be available in November for an extra $59.95.
