"Lost Girl" recap (4.1): Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Bo
Aife asks them for help, but they're reluctant even after a little love touch. She says she needs to find her daughter, Bo. Finally, someone talking some sense. But instead she gets blank stares and Kenzi declares it, "kind of a dude's name, amirite?"
Right, so now the not making sense makes sense. No one remembers Bo. Not Kenzi, not Dyson, not Hale, not even really her mama. But she at least remembers that she forgot. She shows them a dark spot in her eye, which is a sign of some expertly excised memories.
Aife shows them a picture of this "Bo" and Dyson gets all Duran Duran on it (hungry like the…oh, never mind). Kenzi gets jealous but then interested when Aife says she'll pay them for the job. Dyson leaves mid-assignment because his timer goes off and he has to search for Tamsin at the same time every day. Apparently she went poof after driving them off a cliff a month ago and the only way Dyson survived was by shifting. So that's where Tamsin isn't.
As they get ready to leave Aife says she'll handle the bill. She whammies the waitress with her love touch in a nice callback to Season 1 when Bo whammied what I believe was the exact same waitress with her love touch. Like mother like daughter. Kenzi has a flashback to Bo doing just that and we're finally starting to get somewhere.
Kenzi goes to hang out with Trick and we get some needed exposition. Like who the heck are these Una Mens. No, it's not a male dance revue, it's a near omniscient council of Fae authorities whose sole purpose is to ensure the old laws are followed. We'd probably know this already if the webisodes weren't geoblocked on the Showcase site. Ahem.

Big Response Called for Two Small Carpinteria Fires
Published On: Jan 31 2014 09:18:24 PM CST

Updated On: Jan 31 2014 09:20:59 PM CST
Two small fires in Carpinteria brought out a big response when four agencies were notified this morning.
The fires were on Via Real south of Summerland. They were stopped quickly but Chief Michael Mingee with the Carpinteria-Summerland Fire Protection District called them "suspicous.' He asked the public for help if they know how they were started.
Anyone with information should contact 1800-47-ARSON (27766) or Inspector Richard Evans at 805-566-0483.

Devs tease early screenshots of Ubuntu Touch Core Apps
Ubuntu developer Michael Hall has posted screenshots of early versions of what Canonical is calling the "Core Apps" for Ubuntu Touch, the new flavor of the popular Linux distribution that's being rewritten to run on mobile devices as well as PCs. There wasn't much you could actually do with Ubuntu Touch when Canonical released …
Poof, ta daaaa!
"...across all form factors supported by the OS, including the desktop, tablets, smartphones, and Smart TVs."
And there you have it, your desktop is now running a top the most powerful framework a [b]TV[/b] can handle!
Why is Ubuntu popular?
Re: Poof, ta daaaa!
So they are trying to copy Windows 8.
What is the USP for this?
What will using this concoction/bodge/kludge give me that I can't already obtain from a stock Android build on my phone/desktop?
They(canonical) are going to to have to make something special in order to even become an also ran in this highly competitive field. The likes of android, iOS and even Windows 8 (And its variants) have a huge leg up on Ubuntu and their offering.
Perhaps they can do something similar to what happened when Ubuntu was first released but I very much doubt it.
The other question you have to ask is,
Are Canonical spreading themselves too thinly? With all the attention to the Server side and their impending replacement of the 'X' server and now this, I can't help but wonder if they are trying to be everything to everyone and could ultimately end up as master of none?
From casual observation it seems to be "cool" to use Linux at the moment. Ubuntu is also the mighty Valve's chosen distro.
Re: What is the USP for this?
Native Linux on my phone gives me, as a nerd, a far greater set of options than Android does. Of all the jumped-up feature phones pretending to be smartphones, Android is the one I use, but for technical work it's as horrendous as the rest. Ubuntu, being native Linux, will give me the option of exposing that power. It'll be all prettiness up front, but if I want a bash terminal, I'm betting I can get one. For me, that's the USP - a smartphone that looks like the rest of the shitty modern "smartphones" on top, and actually is underneath.
Re: What is the USP for this?
It's not under the control of a bunch of ad-men?
Re: What is the USP for this?
"...but if I want a bash terminal, I'm betting I can get one."
And I'm betting you can't get a useful one without rooting. Also, I'm not sure you stopped to take a look around lately, but Ubuntu is as "Native Linux" as Android.
FireFox OS is our last hope, if that fails, I'm not sure who would have the money or resources to save us.
There we go again...
I bet now that about 85% of the comments to this will go like:
"Why do they bother at all? There's already Android and IOS."
"This is too geeky**, it will never catch on."
"It's not perfect*, how does it dare exist?"
Like aborting your baby being 3 months pregnant, because it can't walk yet, and there's other babies already.
* Perfect is, of course, a bit subjective here, but generally boils down to: Just the way that my first mobile ever worked; in some cases that could be a convoluted mess of random keystrokes to invoke some profoundly arcane action that could be, if ever it would be needed at all, replaced by having a small pebble in your pocket.
** This could also be "not geeky enough", depending from which way you come. It could even be both, if you really don't know what you're talking about, but just need to have an opinion***.
*** A bit like me, that.
Try making a point without resorting to hyperbole. On the other hand if you actually think your abortion analogy is reasonable you may wish to take break from tech* for a while**.
* and asterisks.
** and seek help***
*** For the tech addiction, not asterisks.
@GBL Initialiser -
Wow. Just 'Wow'. Man, are we serious today. But you're right, I shouldn't do that if I want to make a serious post on a serious topic for a serious audience.
Oh, wait . . .
A little bit to early
We have become very accustomed to very "visually rich" applications, especially those weather widgets ( I don't use them but they do look quite good).
By bringing out images of these core applications before they are "ready for the public" doesn't make much sense to me. It leaves a bad impression before things have even begun. I understand that the developer is proud to have arrived at this point in the process but it is still far too early to be releasing screenshots like these.
I looked through the blog and was very "unsurprised" to see what I would consider as late Alpha, early beta versions of what will consitute the core of the new system.
I am not knocking the devs work, it is excellent that they have arrived so far, but they must be aware that they can also cause damage by releasing unfinished work this early on. The first thing that many people will see are those images and they will probably not be very impressed, those images will remain engrained for quite some time. ( Most people do not think objectively).....
@ Khaptain - Re: A little bit to early
I do agree mostly, but there's also to consider that the tech community which sees these early versions is only a small fraction of the final target audience. I would wager that near to 90% of smartphone users will say "U-wut?", if you mention Ubuntu or Linux to them. The market is mostly made up of "keep-up-with-the-Jones's"-buyers.
The "Here you have it, it's finished and beautiful" approach doesn't seem to work in community developed systems, it's more like watching a tree grow.
Personally I'm quite exited about it. I like the idea of having an operating system on a smartphone that can support the same applications that run on my standard computer; and no, Windows phone doesn't deliver that. I know that there's millions* of IOS and Android Apps out there, but wouldn't it be nice to just install another instance of the program that you run when you're at your desk?
* The amount of Apps seems overwhelming, yet: how much chaff is there with the grain? Last time I checked up on it there where over 1100 (OMG!!!) <u>fart</u> apps available for IOS. I wouldn't even need one.
@Andreas Koch
Good to see you took GBL's advice about getting help*
* For the asterisk addiction**
** Oh blast, now I'm doing it!
Re: A little bit to early
Agreed. While Canonical's work is undoubtedly impressive in such a short space of time, they are rapidly becoming the Peter Molyneuxs of the Linux world. Keep traps shut, open when system is ready.
That said, you've got to get the developers in early.
This sounds like quite good progress.
If Ubuntu want to go somewhere it was obvious they needed to get improved versions of all their stuff out on a short cycle and keep on upgrading them.
From a dead image to a working (limited functionality) set of apps in 2 months with a new SDK is pretty impressive.
Thumbs up to them for the progress.
Re: This sounds like quite good progress.
It's Ubuntu, so it would always be a new SDK. Why improve someone else's work when you can write it from scratch and own it outright?
They will never win at copying Google or using Google Android as a base. (Is it even going to be opensource ?)
They more than likely won't win at trying to beat KDE Active (Both are using QT / QML but Ubuntu doesn't even like KDE or put any effort into doing it properly.
They should use Tizen as a base with QML and EFL.
@h3 -
The whole point is to not use someone else's. If you use Android as a base then you'll always lag behind Google.
Tizen is perfectly OK as Tizen, Mozilla/Firefox OS is totally fine on it's own.
I think you mistake something for something else here.
Re: @h3 -
I know what they are (And what they poeple making them want) but it doesn't align with what I want very well.
Android is ok but the best in class for pretty much every app is nothing compared to what is available for proper Linux. The command line environment is too limited. Lots of apps are inferior to the iOS versions they are ported from.
This Ubuntu is based more on Android than Ubuntu (It supports Android video drivers).
It is a completely new UI but based on qml (Which is pretty nice to a point for toy projects you can learn it in about 5 mins.)
The Internals of Tizen are pretty interesting but it has no native SDK. I am interested in using Tizen but not in a HTML5 / Javascript way but proper native code linked with the enlightenment libraries. If they skinned qt so QML could be used it would be a bonus. (Porting decent none terrible already opensource apps without too much effort would be good as well.)
KDE Active looks fairly good and not done by amateurs.
None of them are totally fine on their own for different reasons.
To the naysayers
Here's the thing: at the moment, if you want a mobile OS that isn't locked into a walled garden where your corporate overlords (be they Apple, Microsoft or Blackberry) decide what you're allowed to install, then you have one choice - Android. Android is a perfectly good OS, in it's current form it's slick, easy to use and very well supported, but only having one option is not good.
So I sincerely hope that at least one of the in-progress mobile OS's, be it Ubuntu, Firefox, Tizen or whatever, manages to break out. I want an alternative to Android, one that treats me like an adult and lets me use my phone/tablet as I see fit.
Re: To the naysayers
Actually Win8/x86 allows you to install what you want on your Windows tablet. Including stuff like a development tool to write more software. Elipse or Netbeans run fine from experience. So that gives you at least two options.
For another OS to interest me on tablet pc it must have:
+ Pen (Wacom and NTrig, see below) support at least equal to Windows 7 (Handwriting recognition etc)
+ Tool support at least equal to Windows 7 (MS Journal, Artrage, OneNote, Total Stylus integration)
+ Useable on tablet and desktop - one OS and UI for all systems
+ Speach I/O at least equal to Windows 8 or the equivalent to Dragon Natural 11 (OFFLINE!)
+ Useable as a notebook or even desktop replacement
+ Full support of available hardware platforms (OS follows hardware not the other way round)
+ Controll over power consumption equal to Windows 8
+ SD card slots
+ Miracast support
+ Touch can be completely disabled
+ Producer delivered patched comparable to Windows for duration
Re: To the naysayers
Actually Win8/x86 allows you to install what you want on your Windows tablet.
Win8, be it on ARM or x86, is a non starter as far as I'm concerned.
For the rest, your requirements for a tablet are clearly very different to mine. It sounds like you pretty much want a laptop replacement
Re: To the naysayers
Actualy a replacement for the T731, Q550 and EP121 that currently make up my tablet "zoo". Those are actually more than mere notebooks since they offer capacities well beyond that
Once you get used to full powered tablet pc the various toy breeds (iOS, RT, most Androids) simply look pale in comparison. It shows that MS does productive tablet software since the early 2000s. Guess my next is a Helix (preferably a Haswell version) with the T902 a second option
Re: To the naysayers
Eh? Android is no different from any of those mentioned
Re: To the naysayers
Win8, be it on ARM or x86, is a non starter as far as I'm concerned.
Why? It's the best Windows version I've used in years, and TIFKAM works quite well on a tablet.
For the rest, your requirements for a tablet are clearly very different to mine. It sounds like you pretty much want a laptop replacement
That's what tablets used to be. What's wrong with wanting a tablet that actually does stuff?
Re: To the naysayers
Why? It's the best Windows version I've used in years, and TIFKAM works quite well on a tablet.
Personal preference - I can't stand TIFKAM. It may well be the best version of Windows to date underneath, but I find the whole tiled interface horrible.
That's what tablets used to be. What's wrong with wanting a tablet that actually does stuff?
I didn't say there was anything wrong with it, but my use for a tablet is the standard "consumption device", and in that scenario I value thin, light and loooong battery life. The full fat x86 Win8 tabs are heavily compromised in all three of those areas, for very little benefit in my use case.
Re: To the naysayers
Actually ATOM based units get runtimes up to 11 hours, quite similar to ARM devices. But with a full-featured OS. And at weights simiar to the 10'' ARM devices as well. Some even have user-replaceable parts
Core-i based units have 4-5 hours for the 800-1000g units, up to 10 for a 1.3kg unit (Sony Duo11). But they can do a lot more replacing both the "consumption" tablet and the notebook. With a docking station they can even replace most non-gaming PCs since 8GB and a mobile i5/i7 are good enough even for programming.
I tried or had to try all the toy bredds exept RT and they all failed. Even in the media consumption business, there mostly due to "second rate" software
Re: To the naysayers
Android is terrible if you want to use it for any form of creation. (Most of the ported apps are inferior to iOS versions). The console environment is poor.
Take music players :
Compare something like Clementine to Poweramp.
or :
The UI of Enlightenment DR17 to Android (Android doesn't even do multiple Windows properly). Cornerstone is as close as you get but Google hates that.
ON the idea of "One UI to rule them all"
If they want to migrate most devs to this language and toolkit what migration tools did they develop?
As others have noted the concept of a single UI across all your UI running appliances sounds great but then you get a)The OS to drive the UI becomes the resource driver when the actual control panel you're simulating is a half dozen switches and a few knobs. b)You design to a lowest common denominator. Designing a properly scaleable UI which has core commands and additional functions that can be layered and take advantage of the greater processing power without disturbing your well developed muscle memory for the lower level systems (or vice versa) is very tricky. The big one being where do you put all that cruft that sits on your big screen when your mobile is a few inches wide?
@ John Smith 19 - Re: ON the idea of "One UI to rule them all"
. . .
The big one being where do you put all that cruft that sits on your big screen when your mobile is a few inches wide?
This is why I think it might just work out. I hated Unity for quite a while until I gave it a longer chance and now I actually like it a lot. And I see a lot of empty space most of the time. I think it would do very nicely (better than TIFKAM, in my opinion; and yes, I've tried that, too.) on a small screen.
Happy side effects?
Qt and QML, eh? Across everything? Can we finally expect greater inter-compatibility with KDE?
Re: Happy side effects?
I doubt it will integrate well with KDE. The KDE way is to do stuff quite well and with some forethought. The Ubuntu/Canoncial way is to do as little as possible in the worst possible way take as much unfinished stuff as possible from elsewhere reskin it and then change their mind. (Or don't change their mind when they should.)
Wow, a calculator and a calendar. Killer applications!
Ok great. Its wonderful and all to have another choice on my phone, but now fix your default desktop. Unity is garbage on a decent sized screen. It actually makes the abomination that is Gnome 3 look almost decent by comparison.
Xmonad could be good on a tablet with gestures to do manual Window Management if necessary.
If WinRT could just be another screen when I was using my desktop just for the Metro stuff it might be more interesting for me. It is great with RemoteFX (Any old app works great with fast 3D).
Using working just as well as a 3rd screen (The current ios / Android apps that do the same sort of thing are nowhere near as good) must be possible.

text: ESPN: Mike Tirico's Omission of 'Redskins' on MNF Was Unintentional Print article Send a Tip by John Pudner 17 Sep 2013 post a comment The Sr. Director of Communications and PR for ESPN told Breitbart Sports Tuesday morning that Mike Tirico's omission of the word "Redskins" was simply a flub, and not a political statement. "I talked to Mike last night, and he told me immediately it was just a mistake. He used the plural 'Giants' and then started to say 'Washington,' so he tried to make it plural (to get 'Washingtons.')," said Bill Hofheimer, who earlier in the year unveiled the futuristic SportsCenter set that will be used beginning in 2014 (see photo below). Hofheimer noted that Tirico had used "Redskins" throughout the Eagles-Redskins game he handled last week for ESPN, and that he proceeded to tweet out a correction after the two talked Monday night. Breitbart Sports has reported regularly on the ongoing attempts to get the Redskins to drop their long-time name, with the most recent story noting that NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell stated the NFL had to take note if one person was offended by the name. Buzzfeed reported the incident Monday night, and at the time they had been unsuccessful in reaching ESPN for comment.

Tulamben Bungalow Rental Photos and Description
Bungalow with private Jacuzzi, partly open bathroom, restaurant, very quiet
Enjoy the best days of the year in a luxury bungalow (built March 2015) with mini-bar, safety box, air-conditioned bedroom, partially roofed bathroom with Jacuzzi, shower and toilet. Open, covered living room with relaxing couches and dining table. Enjoy diving or snorkelling,in the unique underwater world at the house reef or the 60m distant wreck (U.S.S. Liberty) or the drop-off. A local diving centre will fulfil all of your wishes, no matter if you are a beginner or a professional diver. Similarly, the resort staff will take care of you in a very personal manner. Ranging from the personal pick up at the airport, to your choice of breakfast and other meals as well as the accompaniment to cultural and other attractions. We want you to have memorable and wonderful holidays.
Tulamben: On the east coast of Bali is the most well-known dive destination Indonesia's. Tulamben became famous through the wreck of U.S.S.Liberty, a cargo ship from the Second World War, that lies about 30 meters from the rocky beach in 5m-30m depth. There is almost no flow and the visibility is usually 20 m-30 m. Very impressive is also a night dive at the wreck. Approx. 500 meters next to the wreck you can dive in 'Coral Garden' or 'drop off'. Mainly for macro friends the Coral Garden offers a lot of highlights. There are Ghostmurane, cleaner shrimp, groupers, Harlekinschrimps etc. The drop off is a nice covered wall from 3 to 60 m deep. With the dive site 'Batu Kelebit' this area has probably the very best diving area of Bali. Because Tulamben is the darkest area of Bali, there are best conditions for Astronomers.Moreover Tulamben is a good starting point to the many other attractions to explore Bali. You should also visit our photo gallery in our website.

What Causes Wasting Syndrome
Here's a taste of what TheBody.com has to offer on this topic:
Get the Facts
Wasting SyndromeHormone levels can affect the metabolism. HIV seems to change some hormone levels including testosterone and thyroid. Also, cytokines play a role in wasting. Cytokines are proteins that produce inflammation to help the body fight infections. People with HIV have very high levels of cytokines. This makes the body produce more fats and sugars, but less protein. Unfortunately, these factors can work together to create a "downward spiral." For...

Report: 90 Percent of Condo Buyers Are Foreigners

"I don't know why they've done this," Garcia says regarding the death threats. "I don't know. I guess they're trying to scare me. They're doing a good job. I'm scared. I don't sleep at night, I don't."
Last week Aventura Det. James Cumbie, the same detective who investigated and discounted her rape claim, visited Garcia at her home in North Miami-Dade. The now-unemployed immigrant from St. Croix has sold much of her furniture, save her bed. Most of her clothes are stored in gray plastic garbage bags. She often sits in the house alone, in the dark. "He asked me all about the newspaper article," Garcia recalls of her interview with Cumbie. "He wanted to know where did I meet you and why did you come [interview me]. Did I call you? he asked. He wanted to know everything. He didn't like that story. He doesn't like the fact that I spoke to you." (Cumbie could not be reached for comment.)
Even with two police agencies now investigating, the State Attorney's Office also is considering what role to play, if any. "The matter has been referred to the head of the sex-battery unit to have her review the whole situation to determine whether charges are appropriate," says spokesman Don Ungurait.
Greenhill family attorney Michael Snyder has little to say about the reopened investigation. "It's news to me," he comments.

This great, dazzling, underrated and unconventional Western, Tourneur's first color movie, set in a pioneering Oregon town circa 1856 is not without its Fordian moments, but in spite of a few brawls, it's memorable largely for the director's concentration on the massive beauty of the American landscape.

Hi all,
I work for a test house who deal with lots of educational software developers.
People are asking us more and more what versions of Vista schools are using.
From research, our gut feel is that probably almost no schools are using it (yet), and probably Business or Enterprise versions if anything.
Are any / many schools actually using Vista (apart from that machine in your office with Ultimate ;) and if so which ones?
Thanks all,

Another Birthday Dinner...
- kaleokahu Nov 27, 2013 11:36 AM
Hi, all. It's that time of year again, and I can't decide where to go for my birthday dinner. I need suggestions.
I don't favor new or trendy for newness' or trendiness' sake. Nor do I think there's a huge intrinsic appeal to artfully-plated small plates, counter-intuitive preps, or high prices. I just want great food, relaxed atmosphere, no pretense, and good service.
By way of example of what I like, I really find Salvatore's and Cafe Munir soul-satisfying experiences. But it really can be any cuisine.
All suggestions welcome.
I always enjoy Salvatore too. The long time waitstaff and the fact that the owner is often in the kitchen and now his daughter (granddaughter?) is working the front make it very comfortable. That said for at least twice the price Cafe Juanita is good for a splurgy celebration but I can't walk home as I can from Salvatore.
I think you should mount an expeditionary force to Loulay and report back with your findings. Assuming it's open in time for your celebration.
What about Nell's? It is absolutely unpretentious, great atmosphere, food, and service. Not the bargain that Salvatore's is but still worth the price on a special occasion. Happy birthday!
re: Booklegger451
Hi, Booklegger:
This is a really good suggestion, thank you very much. La Medusa is definitely in the running.
I have not tried this place. It appears that the menu changes frequently with the seasons, but do you have any favorite dishes there you can recommend?
re: kaleokahu
The dishes do rotate on a regular (weekly?) basis. There are a few that are always there, though:
Spaghetti marinara with meatball, which is never the best dish on the menu, but is always good, and deeply in comfort food territory
Perciatelli con le sarde: If you like sardines in the Sicilian style, this is a great dish, rich, delicious and well rounded with the salty sardine & olive flavors balanced by sweet fennel and raisins. If you aren't into sardines, though, you may want to look to other menu items.
Grandmas greens: Similar in flavor profile to the Perciatelli, but made with anchovy broth, and kale.
Arancini: Pool ball sized rice croquets. Can be a bit heavy if you're a light eater. Another real comfort food.
The grill here is also surprisingly good. One of my top 3 steaks in town came off their flames. The grill menu is usually just two rotating items (typically one fish and one red meat), and I have never had anything less than excellent.
Some special things that show up occasionally:
Rabbit liver dishes. Usually only available for a day or two, and only occasionally, these have always been fantastic. If you're lucky enough to be there on a day they have them, pounce.
Whole grilled sardines: Again, this rotates on and off the menu. It's a simple and delicious preparation. Lots of bones, but totally worth it.
For desserts, I recommend looking to the items they make in house (usually a couple) or whatever cake they have from Columbia City bakery next door.
I'm late to the party here but wanted to say that I went to Salvatore last week. I have always enjoyed it and hadn't been for a few years and we thought of going there after a movie. It was good and also comforting/nostalgic.
Have you gone out for you birthday dinner? Happy Birthday, belated though it may be.
re: zanzibar1
Nope, it's this coming Sunday. Salvatore it is
re: kaleokahu
Many happy returns Kaleo :)!
re: gingershelley
Mahalo nui, gingershelly!
Well, it was Salvatore's.
I really can't say enough good about this place. Food was excellent, service perfect, prices very reasonable. I'm always agog that a small neighborhood spot like Salvatore *always* has 8 special entrees and 5 special hors d's in addition to their already fulsome menu, AND a large selection of Italian wines from all major producing regions.
They seem to bring it every single time, too, constantly on top of everything from the second you open their door until you close it behind you. If Salvatore was a baseball team, every at bat is an extra-base hit.
For value comparison, we had a shared bruschetta, a shared Caesar, two of the special entrees (one veal, one wild boar) a bottle of Chianti, a shared dessert and coffee, all for $108 before tip. Hell, I've spent $308 at some other places that weren't remotely as satisfying.
re: kaleokahu
Happy Birthday Kaleo. I've always had similar experiences at Salvatore.

this order ( #100009241 ) was placed a bit more than 2 weeks ago which i can live with because it was stated that one of those items (320 0171 21: BLACKCELL-MOLLE TIBERIUS 8/9 HOLSTER) was special order and would take about 2 weeks to ship.
The first thing i realized was wrong was that i never got a confirmation e-mail for the order.
Then after about a week or so i also realized that i never recieved points on my brigade account.
Finally once the order did arrived i was quite upset to realize that neither the tpx pistol or forge light vest back had been shipped and i then realized that they werent even on the pack slip. at that point i remembered that i never printed out a copy of the order after i placed it so i have no way of proving they were ordered.
i dont mind having to re-do the order of these 2 items so long as i was not charged for them, which i am lead to believe by their absence on the packing slip. i would simply like to report these errors and hope to be accredited with brigade points for the items i did recieve in order ( 100009241 ). if a member of the special ops staff could also inform me wether or not i was charged for those 2 other items that will also be helpful.

well i just had the rude awakening of my dog barking at the ups guy and am quite baffled to find that my tpx pistol arrived today in its own seperate box with its own packing slip. well at this point im just going to hope that the same thing happens with the vest back but if not i have no problem re-ordering that which i will w8 another week or so before doing so just in case it is also in its own box somewhere out there.

The Girls: A Novel (original 2005; edition 2007)

The Girls by Lori Lansens (2005)
Compact | Rate recommendations
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Read this 2 yrs ago!
I'd had it for ages, read the blurb and started to read.
Loved it ! About a set of cranio-pagus ( joined at the head ) twins called Rose and Ruby.
Rose writes most of their story first then Ruby gradually takes over as Rose' s health deteriorate s.
Loved their Aunt Lovey . So practical and strong. Wish
I either knew her or was her.
Got me through a really traumatic time... and after having rewritten this review from my notes think
I'm going to try and get it again.
It took me a long time to read this novel. I was more than a bit skitterish getting into it, which says much about its power. I came to feel as though I really knew and cared about these two women, conjoined (crainiopagus) twins Rose and Ruby. Each was vividly drawn, along with those who peopled their world. I came to the end of the novel with tremendous sadness, feeling as though ending it deprived me of two dear friends. It's an excellent and worthwhile work of fiction.
Half friendship story, half family drama--because in this case it's the friendship and family dynamic between two sisters, who happen to be conjoined twins. Their respective personalities show through their writings (it's easy to tell, not just through the font changes, which character is talking at any point), and you really root for things to work out well for them. Heartfelt drama without being melodramatic.
The idea of a novel based on craniophagus twins (conjoined twins connected at the head) sounded fascinating. Fortunately, the book was as good as the idea of this story. Rose and Ruby are the twin sisters who narrate this story. Their combined tale is warm and realistic with its focus being love and respect for themselves and each other and living as normal a life as possible despite their situation. Somehow, I could see this as being one of those Oprah picks from her former book club. Anyway, the strength of the story comes from the fact that it shows the two girls so different that, in reading this book, one forgets at times that they are conjoined at all.
The girls are a set of conjointed twins at age 29/30 who remember their life and put it to pen and paper - or well, one to pen and paper and the other to her loved laptop. I kept forgetting that this is a fiction book while reading it. The stories are captivating. The girls seem so life-like with their thoughts and memories. Wonderful book.
"The Girls" glides by like a watercolor dream, finding its poetry in dailiness and the universalities of human desire and connection...

Planning department approves Mandarin housing development
The Jacksonville Planning and Development Department has approved a high-density housing development in Mandarin called Grace Farms.
The development would have 67 homes on just 17.6 acres on Plummer Grant Road.
Area residents continue to lobby city officials against the development, saying it will destroy the kind of country living they have in that part of town.
A planning commission meeting is scheduled for Thursday.
The City Council could vote on the development Sept. 23.

Acer Aspire One 532
A great Netbook indeed.
I just purchased my Aspire One 532h-2Cr in Bangkok a few days ago. It cost the equivilent of £205 and came with a 250GB HDD & 1GB RAM, bluetooth was also included. There is no Microsoft Tax in that price as it came with something called Linpus Linux. This I wiped and replaced with Ubuntu 9.10 as soon as I got back to my hotel room! Just upgraded the RAM today to 2GB, a Kingston PC2-6400 (800MHz) module and its working great, so I don't understand why Acer in the UK has put, what seems to me, to be an artificial cap on the RAM amount in the system.
I would have liked the higher def 1280*720 screen, but that wasn't availible where I was shopping, and would have probably been significantly more expensive as well. As far as the keyboard goes, it is one of the best I've seen on any Netbook. I have quite fat fingers, but I'm able to touch type with out any problem on the Aspire's keyboard, which is more that can be said for most Netbooks that I've tried. Admittedly the keyboard on mine is an International one, not UK specific, so all of the 'problem' keys mentioned in the article are fine on my keyboard. As for the touchpad, I've never been a fan of this type of pointing device, so I'm using a Microsoft Arc Mouse with the Aspire, which works well for me. I'm happy to carry the mouse, especially as it folds up pretty small, along with me.
Over all I'm really happy with this system, especially now that I've upgraded the RAM and have Ubuntu desktop (not netbook remix) installed.
The key to safe driving?
More Big Brother Technology!!!!
Yet more technology to enable Big Brother to control our lives! When will the authorities accept that talking on a mobile phone using an hands free set is no more distracting than talking with your passengers. If they are going to start punishing those who use a Handfree set then please start to punish all those who talk to their passengers when driving. The latter is in my opinion far more distracting than taking a call on a mobile phone using an handsfree set.
Yes I fully agree texting or using a mobile without an handsfree set is wrong and distracting, but it's a totally different thing if an handsfree set is used.
Dell extends laptop warranties to cover duff Nvidia GPUs
Good on yer Dell!!!
Finally it's nice to see a 'big' corporation take the responsibility for a fault, up-front, and not have to be goaded into doing something by their disgruntled customers, even though, as in this case, the actual fault is that of a supplier!
My only dissappointment is that my particular Dell model isn't mentioned. I have a Vostro 1700 (purchased in March 2008) which has the exact same nVidia GeForce 8600M GT graphics card that the Vostro 1710 has in it. Also my system was purchased and so built by Dell within what must have been the period that nVidia were supplying the duff GPUs!!!
I'd love to know exactly how nVidia and Dell have come up with a list of the models that are likely to be effected, especially as nVidia initially only admitted to supplying the duff GPUs to HP!!!!
Thankfully I've so far seen no problems on my particular system and I already have the extended (3 year) warranty, so hopefully if anything does go wrong it'll be within that time frame!!!
Intel says 'no' to Windows Vista
Is Vista Really SOOOO BAD?!?!?
It puzzles me to read so many people saying how 'slow' Vista is, in their opinion. My own experience is completely the opposite. I upgraded a (then 2 year old) Dell Inspiron 9300 notebook right after Vista was released to the public, back in Feb 07. Went from XP Pro to Vista Business and the system was way faster, both at booting and loading & running apps and far more stable with no systme lockups or crashes and BSODs, under Vista than it had been under XP Pro. The system felt like a new system after the change over! And this was despite Dell's website saying that that particular model wasn't 'Vista Ready'!!!!
BUT then I'm not a gamer, just an IT support bod for several NGO's, providing support services to 'regular' users, most of whom don't waste hours of their time playing pointless games.
I happen to be based in a country where the piracy of Windows OS's is rampant and almost institutionalised, and where the OS of choice for that is XP. Trying to 'fight' that is an uphill struggle that involves education as much as enforcement and isn't something that is going to change overnight. I don't see Vista being pirated here anywhere near as much as XP is and that I think is down to it's stricter activation as much as it is down to it's perceived inadequacies.
Personally I like Vista and would recommend it to anyone buying a new system today. Upgrading old hardware is another story. I would only recomend that if someone's system was purchased within the last 2yrs, from now, within 1yr prior to Vista's original launch.
Of course businesses are not going to rush out and buy a new OS as soon as it appears, they have far more to consider in the cost/benefit equation than just the fact that it's new so we've got to have it! If Microsoft have failed with Vista, then it's because of it's rediculous pricing, especially in the UK, but elsewhere also. They have over priced it for what it is, and don't seem to understand that the current pricing just makes them look greedy and actually helps to give both Vista and MS itself a bad name.

The Economics of Trading Softball Pins and Other Collectibles
The trading culture has permeated a large portion of the childhood of many millenials. There were trading card games, such as in Yu Gi Oh!, Pokemon, and Monsters. There were also action figures, stamps, and pins, such as baseball and softball trading pins. Recently, there have been games in which gifts and upgrades are traded online.
For many people, the barter system is a little strange and ineffective. Trading a single cow for 5 chickens? How are you sure you're getting the right value for your products? That's why money exists! Well, most children don't have that luxury, so they have a little taste of the economic world starting with a little barter system of collectibles. Here are two things you probably learned while indulging in the activity:
You learned the concept of Intrinsic Value
In the world of finance, many investors, financial analysts, and economists have to learn what intrinsic value is. Basically, it's what an object is truly worth based on an educated perception of all its assets and liabilities. The value may or may not be the same as its price.
This is easy to grasp. In the field of softball trading pins, the rule is generally that more successful teams have more valuable pins. Perhaps a corollary to this is that pins of specific years where their best plays happened are much more valuable. Then, you remember the law of supply and demand. Pins that are common aren't as valuable as those that are rare.
You buy a set of stock pins at a certain price. Then you trade it around. You now have pins which were bought at specific prices but whose intrinsic values may be different. How did you estimate intrinsic value? The answer's simple – through education and research. You read up on the various teams, their successes and failures, and the pins that represent these. You have experiences of seeing certain pins often. You were taught which secondary pins were worth more than others. You trade according to how valuable you think these pins are.
You learned how to haggle
Haggling is quite a common system in markets without fixed prices. Some people find it hard to adapt to doing these, while others are just natural at it. In a trading culture, you probably won't survive very long if you don't haggle. Plus, the temptation to actually do so is too strong to ignore!
Remember that time that you had a bunch of softball trading pins you weren't really interested in keeping, but you had your eye on another one? And it just so happened that the person who owned that piece also was not interested in any of your pins? So you started haggling. First you offer a one-on-one trade. Then you move on to two for one. And you keep raising the bait until either the other person bites or you feel the value is too high.
On the other hand, there may have been instances when you were offered a trade that you think was too high, like a single regular pin in exchange for your pin with spinners. So, again, you haggle. You ask the other person to increase his or her stakes so that you could both end up in a win-win situation.
Being financially aware has always been considered as an adult thing. Most grown-ups don't believe that children have the capacity to make such decisions, or they think that children will surely make devastating choices. Well, one of the only effective ways to learn is to actually practice! The trading culture, such as in the use of softball trading pins, is a fun and safe stepping stone for children before entering the aggressive world of monetary economics.

This movie was TERRIBLE! It features cursing, unkind words/remarks to the children, and made reference to Satan and hell relatively often. My 7 & 4 y-o thought this would be fun, since it's claymation; it was anything but fun!
