as far as SDK for sandboxing goes, again there should be no need for that. that is matter of sandbox it self, not your application. you need port 34534 for example, your socket code is just as usual, no difference. but, unless you specified sandbox to open it for you, sandbox simply won't allow it to pass trough. beside security, it also gives great overview of what application will do before it can do it. unlike half assed sandboxing in android for example
not all applications would make sense to deploy like that, hell... i love package distribution. but for a lot... it's a way to go. it's also a way to get commercial development on board since targets are not restricted to singular distribution and you can provide long term support without the need to patch it every week just because some OSS project changed. not to mention the flaw of package management, usually you get constricted to specified version of app for whole life time of that distro, where installing newer can be rather painful experience.

The other kind of sand boxing isn't implemented yet. It will require kdbus and "Portals" (similar to Android's "Intents" http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?pag...tem&px=MTI5NDQ
It will probably have a special SDK, so developers can target that instead of the underlying OS.
The thinking is, that this allows app developers to potentially target all Linux distros at the same time, and will be a tremendous boost for Linux based phones and tablets.
A problem now a days is, that Linux has a small desktop userbase, and even that base is fragmented into countless variations. This makes it hard to convince e.g. the local Metro train company, or bank to develop a Linux app, and if they do, they tend to only target large userbase Linux distros like Fedora or Ubuntu.
A stable SDK and API that potentially works across all Linux distros will make it much more attractive for third party developers.
This kind of sandboxing will of course also be of great use for normal programs: as it is now, a browser can read/write everywhere the user can, even do it without user permission too. This is bad when a browser gets compromised, since it can steal information or plant a trojan or similar.
When sandboxed the browser may be limited to certain directories and if it wants to read a file, it doesn't do it directly, but will have to ask the "Portal" to fetch it, ensuring that the user can give it permission or deny the request.
If Linus disagree with the way the "UNIX way" or "POSIX" conflicts with the "Linux Philosophy", he will ignore them.
The end result is that Linux is a thriving eco system with lots of developers and end users, from embedded systems, to servers and desktops, to huge super computers and massive clusters.
Other UNIX systems have stagnated and disappeared in the mean time, because they didn't keep up.
systemd solves real world problems, and is an important part in why Linux can stay relevant in the future. You may not like systemd and prefer to live in a 1994 time-freeze where no development take place and no new ideas are implemented so you can avoid learning anything new. But the rest of the world, including Linus Torvalds, wants to move on.
Systemd has already helped all of mankind evolve light-years ahead where we were before it..
Why would so many people hate systemd?.. Are you guys serious or just having fun trolling?.. Yes, I know trolling can be fun for a while..
You can't really expect me to believe that a piece of poop like sys-v or upstart is more advanced than systemd, can you?.. Even canonical finally decided that systemd is the best! So what does that tell you?..
Any way, whether you people are serious or not, systemd is what has been decided is best in every single conceivable aspect.. And it just keeps getting bigger and bigger!......oops, I mean better and better!..
So...me, linus, and systemd will be waiting for you in the future...if you ever make it there...good luck, dude...

angel names, Appellation Mountain, choosing baby names, famous namesakes, honouring, middle names, papal names, popular names, Roman names, saints names, sibsets, US name popularity
Camille and Nicholas are expecting their third child in a few months, and as they already have two boys, had a girl's name all ready to go – Matilda. However, they are due to have another son to join Ignatius and Louis, so they are trying to think of a name for him that will match his brothers, and also not clash with Matilda should they have a girl later on.
Their Name List
- Cassius, nickname Cash – Nicholas likes this one but Camille isn't keen on another name ending with S
- Oscar
- Peter
Eliminated from the List
Camille loves the name Ringo, but acknowledges they need something more traditional
They don't want another name beginning with I or L, or a name in the US Top 10, although they don't usually go for popular names in general. They may use Fitzgerald, a family name, in the middle position.
Camille and Nicholas have been looking at a lot of saints' names for inspiration, and are seeking some fresh ideas.
Their surname starts with J and ends with N eg Jordan.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Although I think Cassius is a great choice, and don't see any huge problems with all three of your children having names that end in S, I can understand why you are reluctant. Should you have a fourth son, would you feel compelled to call him Thaddeus to fit in? If so, you've got yourself a theme. It's not as obvious as if all their names started with S, but it's noticeable enough. You probably feel that you'd rather break the pattern now than wait for the next boy to arrive.
I think Oscar is brilliant – it's another saint name, it sounds good with Ignatius and Louis without seeming matchy, and it fits well with your surname. As long as you both like the name, I think this is a definite keeper.
I do like the name Peter very much, and he's a heavy-duty saint to join Ignatius and Louis. To be honest though, I feel that Peter (which was in the US Top 100 for more than a century) sounds very generic with your surname. If you want to use it, I would pick two or three highly unusual middle names in order to prevent identity theft.
Cassian "Cash"
This is an obvious replacement for Cassius, and a variant of the same name. There were also saints named Cassian, and it can be said KASH-uhn, to get the nickname Cash (although KAS-ee-uhn is equally correct). I'm not sure how well Cassian goes with your surname though.
Casper "Cash"
I think this sounds a bit more hip than its English form Jasper, and is not only a saint, but one of the Three Wise Men. I love the way Casper sounds with Ignatius and Louis, and also with your surname and the potential middle name. According to Abby at Appellation Mountain, Cash can be used as a nickname for Casper.
You might think this name is too popular, and perhaps it doesn't seem so stylish in the US. But I love the way it sounds with your boys and with your surname. Gabriel is not just a saint, he's an angel – and there is a literary connection too. Ignatius is the middle name of Arthur Conan Doyle, and Louis of Robert Louis Stevenson; Gabriel is the middle name of another mysterious 19th century author: Jules Verne.
Like Peter, Felix is a papal name, and I think it fits great with your sibset. Yet although it doesn't end with an S, the letter X actually ends with an S sound. Does this make it unusable?
Theodore was also a pope – Peter was the first pope, but Theodore was the first African pope, which seems pretty cool. Like Felix, this name is gently rising in popularity, and is an excellent match with your sons.
I think this rounds out your sibset nicely, and is one of those names which has a meaning denoting strength, but a rather soft and gentle image. Like Ignatius it is of Roman origin, and like Louis it has a French sound to it.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
It can become harder to choose baby names as the size of your family increases – especially if you want them to sound well-matched, and even more so when they are all of one gender.
You have chosen such a stylish sibset already, so I'm sure you will be able to pick another great name for your third son.
Please write in again if you need to, and remember to let us know what name you eventually choose.

Since I have a sensitive skin, I have to stick to mineral-based sunscreens for my face, but for the rest of my body this is a great alternative. It feels like a whipped body milk which absorbs very quickly and does not leave you looking ghastly or greasy. I also found that it has healing properties: in the winter I had a break out on my forearms which left me with small marks/spots. I swear after using this sunscreen for two weeks, these marks are visibly reduced!
I am only able to use this product on the back of my neck and decollatage. When used on my face it causes bumps and scaly patches. None the less, on the drier skin in the areas I mentioned before, it works very well and penetrates quickly . I would recommend it as an appropieate for use on the body but not on the face.
I made the mistake of using this product before noticing that it was two months past its expiry date. My little girl and I were badly scorched in horrible streaks, despite multiple even and liberal applications. I know that I have used other sunscreen brands past their expiry without an issue. I love the non-greasy finish and PC was very gracious about refunding our money, but it was an experience I never want to repeat. Be careful.
I am so happy this is back in stock! I have very fair skin and have a long drive to work in the Florida Sun and this is the best sunscreen for daily use. It is moisturizing without being greasy and gives mineral protection without smelling like a day at the beach. The only comparable product out there is by Clinique but this one is better!
I love PC products, but I find that this sunscreen does leave me looking pretty shiny / greasy. Also, since switching to this sunscreen from mineral ones (i.e. zinc oxide, which admittedly looks even worse), I've found my skin becoming more sun-damaged. Granted, I spend a lot of time outside, but unfortunately my search for a sunscreen that protects my fair, sensitive yet somewhat oily skin, that doesn't leave me looking greasy (this one) or like I'm wearing clown makeup (zinc oxide) continues.
I love how this product is so light! It actually has a whipped texture and smooths over skin very well. Also does not leave my face feeling greasy like most waterproof/resistant lotions. A must if you spend a lot of time near water and want to take great care of your skin.

Warren Buffett remains one of the most sought-after and watched figures in business today. He has become a billionaire and investment sage by buying chunks of companies and holding onto them, managing them as businesses, and eventually reaping huge profits for himself and investors in Berkshire Hathaway. The first two editions of The Warren Buffett Way gave investors their first in-depth look at the innovative investment and business strategies behind the spectacular success of living legend Warren E. Buffett. Tracing Warren Buffett's career from the beginning, Hagstrom told listeners exactly how, starting with an initial investment of only $100 Buffett built a business empire and has an estimated net worth of $44 billion. The Third Edition of The Warren Buffett Way will focus on the timeless principles and strategies behind Buffett's extraordinary investment success. There will be new chapters on the important distinctions between investment and trading and an examination of the most successful disciples of Warren Buffett. Some less important material will be deleted and the overall focus will be to create an edition that will stand the test of time, distilling Buffett's success formula in a way that will provide value to listeners for decades to come.

I have been experiencing pain when I bend my knee.
It feels kind of like something being stretched really tight over the knee cap, and a sharp pain in back of knee.
My left knee doesn't bother me at all. And my right one is only when I bend it up to the the point where my calf is close or touching the hamstring, kind of like when get down on your shins and lean back on your feet. That kills me in my right knee. Its like if i stretch it out it will stop. Then after awhile it starts back up.
Anyone else???

B3 Maurice Ravel - 3. Satz: Presto
These performances established Martha Argerich as one of the most exciting and brilliant young pianists in the world. Thirty years on, they are still among the finest available. ..
In my opinion, this is THE Prokofiev 3rd Concerto to have. It is simply wildly breathtaking. Argerich does not use her formidable technique to show off what she has, but rather to benefit the music as a whole. The rhythmic drive is so intense that the orchestra - this is the Berlin Phil we are talking about here - have difficulty in keeping up with her. But nonetheless, they do a super job in accompanying her. She makes the piano sing, playing notes as if she was singing. The sheer energy of this pianist is amazing. In her debut recording for EMI, she was said to have taken several cups of black coffee before entering the studio to record. Perhaps she did the same thing for this recording? Anyway, the way she interacts with the orchestra is most uncanny. Great performers have the ability to listen to others, but Argerich has the ability to almost accompany the orchestra (!) when necessary.
The piece sounds as a whole, not as individual movements, in my opinion, which is great: that way it fully keeps the listener's attention.
She lets rip in the last movement and the result is unbelievably improvisatory, but she maintains tension and control in the movement, and indeed the whole concerto. I think tension is one of the main keys to playing this concerto well. Otherwise it sounds technical, not musical. The Prokofiev ends spectacularly.
Then comes the Ravel concerto in G. It is very jazzy, and Argerich's version has rarely been surpassed. I think that has a lot to do with her improvisatory approach to music. Someone commented that she is a true improvisor, in the tradition of Liszt, but unlike her predecessor, she never tampers with the notes itself. Here, that improvisatory approach really works, and it never for a moment sounded dull or repetetive. Abbado seems in full agreement with Argerich and it is another successful recording. After the wonderful concerti, the Gaspard de la nuit. It is a notoriously difficult piece, but Argerich makes it sound dead easy, as usual. She is said to have learned the piece in less than five days when her one-time teacher Friedrich Gulda, told her to master the piece in five days. She says that it was easy because she didn't know it was supposed to be difficult! Well, that certainly comes across, and she gives a very pictorial account of the work that borders on the frightening.
I doubt it will ever have serious competition with future versions. Stunning.

Pace Analytical Purchases Microseeps Laboratories, Pittsburgh, PA
Click here to read the Pace Analytical press release.
New Document Available: "Why Do I need to measure ethene below 1 μg/l?"
Low concentrations of ethene are often ignored but are actually a very important indicator of oxidative mechanisms.
Research is showing that oxidative processes are often an important part of chlorinated ethene biodegradation even at very low oxygen levels. Of course, the biodegradation can't be all oxidative. There needs to be some reductive dechlorination, and that reductive dechlorination produces ethene. If we insist that there is no oxidation, that ethene is not enough to make much of a difference. However, if we recognize oxidative processes and if the chlorinated ethene contours of the map are shrinking, low concentrations of ethene are very powerful indicators.
Indeed, as we explore further we see that if there truly is evidence of biodegradation, ethene concentrations should be measured and CSIA should also be used to provide a valuable, independent line of evidence that has NO reliance upon end-products. However, that is another story … In the meantime, please read about ethene levels further.

EPA Guide for CSIA : A Guide for Assessing Biodegradation and Source Identification of Organic Ground Water Contaminants using Compound Specific Isotope Analysis Now Available
Authors include: John Wilson, USEPA, Daniel Hunkeler, University of Neuchatel, Rainer Meckenstock, Institute of Groundwater Ecology, Torsten Schmidt, University of Duisburg-Essen, Barbara Sherwood Lollar, University of Toronto.
Dr. Pirkle and Dr. McLoughlin of Microseeps reviewed the recently released EPA guide for CSIA, an important new publication from EPA. This informative document is titled "A Guide for Assessing Biodegradation and Source Identification of Organic Ground Water Contaminants using Compound Specific Isotope Analysis (CSIA)." The forward of the document states that "This Guide provides general recommendations on good practice for sampling ground water for CSIA, and quality assurance recommendations for measurement of isotope ratios. The Guide also provides recommendations for data evaluation and interpretation to use CSIA to document degradation of organic contaminants, or to associate plumes of contaminants in ground water with their sources."

Microseeps Contributes to New ITRC document on Enhanced Attenuation: Chlorinated Organics
The ITRC team Enhanced Attenuation of Chlorinated Organics (EACO) has finished their technical and regulatory document. It is available at http://www.itrcweb.org/gd_EACO.asp. Enhanced Attenuation (EA) is a remedial strategy intended to facilitate transition of contaminated sites through the remediation process. This document gives people a defendable way to transition from a high energy, intensive treatment such as "pump and treat" toward an MNA situation. It is an excellent guidance for the first time "innovator" who wants to try EA or a powerful resource for the long-time user of EA (even if they never called it EA!) and can provide a support when proposing EA to a client, regulatory body or other stake-holder. In addition, the EACO "Resource Guide" is a very useful complimentary tool intended for users of the technical-regulatory guidance may wish to explore. It is a web based application that directs - via annotated bibliography, a number of the technical resources available for learning the specifics of the techniques in the technical-regulatory guidance.
Internet based training is available on the EACO concept and the dates/times are below.
June 26 (Thursday) 11:00 a.m. - 1:15 p.m. EASTERN TIME

Microseeps and Microbial Insights Will Introduce Their First Collaborative Achievement at the Battelle Conference in Monterey, CA in May 2006.
Microseeps and Microbial Insights, two cutting edge specialty environmental services companies, will introduce their first collaborative achievement at Battelle's Conference on Remediation of Chlorinated and Recalcitrant Compounds, May 22-25 in Monterey, California.
Microseeps, a leading specialty environmental geochemistry firm, has been on the forefront of new methods and technologies for assessing in-situ degradation of subsurface contaminants. Microbial Insights has pioneered the field of environmental microbiology by offering a unique set of molecular biological tools to facilitate intelligent site design and management decisions. The two companies have established a collaborative relationship designed to foster innovation and new technologies.
At the Battelle Conference, the firms will introduce their first technical achievement, a new 5-step process for demonstrating that biodegradation processes are occurring or can occur at a given site. This process offers significant advantages on sites where monitored natural attenuation (MNA) or enhanced bioremediation may be the remdiation method of choice.
Microbial Insights in a collaborative effort with Microseeps has expanded the capabilities of Bio-Trap Samplers to not only determine the microbial response, but to also assess the presence and acceleration potential of degradation of a given contaminant in-situ. This collaborative achievement involves the use of Bio-Trap Samplers which have been baited with known concentrations of contaminants or surrogates (13C enriched petroleum hydrocarbons or fuel oxygenates and fluorinated analogs of chlorinated solvents). This process can effectively answer whether a contaminant is being degraded by indigenous microbes or if a particular amendment would accelerate the biodegradation rate at a site.
Microbial Insights, Inc. is an environmental biotechnology company based out of Rockford, Tennessee. The company develops and applies cutting edge genetic and chemical diagnostic tests that describe and quantify microbes and microbial communities. Microseeps, Inc. is a specialty analytical laboratory located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Microseeps is a recognized leader in the development of specialized analytical methods to support monitored natural attenuation and other in-situ remediation techniques. Together, this unique collaboration facilitates integrated solutions through a comprehensive understanding of environmental data.

Licorice Root - DHEAS- Hair Loss
I just got some labs back from the Doc. I have low normal testoterone but elevated DHEAS. I bet that is why my hair is so thin! My testosterone used to be elevated (tested years ago), but i am doing a lot to lower testosterone - DCI, NAC, spearmint tea, green tea extract, inositol- and now I will be adding licorice root to lower the DHEAS. I am really hopeful that this is the remaining piece to get my hair back!
Does anyone have licorice root experiences to share?
I actually have the same problem--high DHEA but normal testosterone! I used to take licorice/peony for hirsutism and it worked like a charm but you can't do that for very long before your adrenals crap out. I was on a high dose! Now I am trying withania complex and it turns out I'm ALLERGIC! Ugh!29 years old: adrenal fatigue and estrogen dominance which mimics PCOS

Historical Traveller Reviews of Hacienda Lax Airport Hotel
Convenient for early LAX flight departuresfrom A TripAdvisor Member
Forget it - Choked to Death on Bitumen Fumesfrom A TripAdvisor Member
Upon arrival to our room we noticed an acrid strong smell of diesel,
through the AC and throughout the entire Hotel after complaining to reception, they shrugged it of as ' oh yer i think we are having the roof repaired ' Further investigation by walking around revealled that the entire roof was being resealed with bitumen, the entire hotel reaked of it.
If your doing renovations like that you shut down the Hotel not fumigate its inhabitants. Had Burning lungs for days after. Beter air quality at the Airport itself.
Despite offering guest parking for only $5 night, dont expect to get a space, the hotel parking is also availiable to other paying parking customers who use the function rooms and restaurant. So if you go out don't expect to park again where you have paid. Hotel told us to park at the ralphs across the street, but not if you want your car towed away.
Honestly don't stay here, Old small rooms, rude staff, Slow lsmall lifts Will not be staying here again.
Great Valuefrom A TripAdvisor Member
great place to stay 5 min from LAX aiportfrom A TripAdvisor Member
Spend a little more...from llmeyer
The Hotel Lobby looks great...but the rooms are old, musty, and did I say old?? The room is mediocre at best, and the beds are ROCK hard. I would have gladly paid more to stay at a decent place. Also, you must park your car OFF SITE, about a block away. Will definately not stay here ever again!
A Lot of Hotel for the Money...from A TripAdvisor Member
If you need to overnight at LAX...from EandLJ

Top Local Tips for El Segundo
Business I came here to take a class, and it was the worst thing i could have done,!
Fantastic sandwiches!!! Check out Rinaldi's Italian Deli on Main Street in El Segundo. Park in structure on Grand just west of Main. Mind-blowing array of sandwiches (hot and cold) and pasta. No ambiance, so get it to go and take it to El Segundo park, or eat at one of their few outside tables.
Great deal (If you want a 1 star hotel) I am a business traveller and tend to read reviews before I book my hotel, so I take reviews with a grain of salt and try to do the best I can. Please take this review serious, if you are looking for a very low budget hotel with very dirty rooms and hallways that smell like mold this is the hotel for you. Otherwise, I would suggest staying as far away as possible. In this case I would say that you really dont get what you pay for. If you really want to stay at the Hacienda take your own cleaner supplies.

Dubrovnik, the Croatian Islands & Split
It's usually a choice. Do you choose a destination with history, culture, and natural beauty or do you go for sun, sea, and a laid-back island atmosphere? The Dalmatian Coast is both. Catch rays on the deck of our private boat, then experience the Venetian-influenced architecture of Hvar Town. Enjoy a fresh Adriatic bounty at lunch with locals, then hit the trail and explore. Visit vestiges of a 16th-century monastery, then take to the waters of secluded rocky coves. On and on you'll go from "enlightenment" to relaxation. When you come to the Dalmatian Coast, you'll enjoy two of the best vacations you've ever had.
Day 1 Dubrovnik, an architectural masterpiece and World Heritage site with 82-foot-high fortified walls A path along rolling hills and past cypress trees seduces you with stunning views - ocean on one side, mountains on the other Join the Brautovic family in their tiny village for a home-cooked meal with ingredients from their garden - even the bread and wine are homemade.
Days 2-3 Island-hop in the sun-drenched Adriatic Hike along the Peljesac Peninsula, passing hamlets and vineyards Discover Korcula Town, one of Eastern Europe's best-preserved medieval centers and a reputed home of Marco Polo Trek to the secluded swimming oasis of Stracincica Bay Sunny Hvar, here we come! During our sail, you may be inspired to jump into the refreshing waters.
Day 4 Stride along a coastal path amid jagged cliffs with sapphire sea views In the romantic fishing village of Milna, savor garden-grown vegetables and other delights at a local home Care for some lively nightlife? Hit the town in chic and popular Hvar.
Day 5 The freshest seafood and local cuisine Boat to quiet Brac Island, known since ancient times for its milky-white marble The pebble beach of Zlatni Rat (Golden Coast) juts dramatically into the sea Pay a visit to the Blaca Hermitage, a 16th-century monastery and World Heritage site Amble between water and limestone hills with a gorgeous perspective on the Adriatic.
Day 6 Explore the reborn Dalmatian Coast, gaining insight into its culture Visit Brac's oldest town, dotted with Roman ruins Sample olive oil and dessert wine made by our friend Luca Ferry to Split, home to Diocletian's Palace.

Guest Reviews About This Trip
Croatia was one of my favorite trips ever and I've traveled lots. The combination of the country's beauty, the variety of our days walking, visiting interesting places, home-styled lunches, cruising on our own sailboat and absolutely astoundingly gifted leaders made the trip a remarkable one!- Wellesley, MA
This was my fifth Backroads trip - and it was by far the best one yet. First and foremost because of the scenery and region itself. But a very close second because of the hard work that went into developing the itinerary, which was beyond perfect. Every hike was unique and memorable. Every set of logistics was handled so seamlessly that the trip had fluidity to it that made it impossible not to be fully relaxed and engaged in every activity. This was the first trip that I can honestly say I enjoyed EVERY day because each day was such a well-constructed balance of physical activity, culture and downtime... This was a memorably fabulous vacation. So thank you!- New York, NY
Backroads did an excellent job on delivering on the "Backroads" experience, particularly with the hiking routes, which were truly stunning and interesting. I felt like I got to see places, meet people, and do things that I would not have been able to do on my own with a guidebook. Our trip leaders were extremely enthusiastic, accommodating and entertaining.- New York, NY

An Indian chief of the region about Pennacook on the Merrimac River as early as 1632. "The most noted powwow and sorcerer of all the country" according to the chronicler Hubbard. He formally submitted to the English in 1644, and died at a very advanced age. Also Mount Passaconaway in New Hampshire, named for the sachem of the Merrimack tribe of Indians, of Algonquian Stock. The first ship was named for the place and the second ship for the person.

Passaconaway started building at the Portsmouth Navy Yard, Kittery, Maine, in November 1863. Her construction, and that of three sister ships, proceeded slowly during the Civil War, and she was neither launched nor completed. Her name was changed to Thunderer 15 June 1869, and again to Massachusetts 10 August 1869. Due to deteriorating timbers, she was condemmed under Act of Congress 5 August 1882, and broken up on the stocks in 1884.

Here's something interesting: Somebody recently visited this site after searching for "non-liberal search engine".
It boggles the mind.
Search engines look for keywords, key phrases, at websites which match what you're looking for. Typically, a search engine is apolitical. It just looks for words or phrases at websites which match what you're searching for.
I guess a "non-liberal search engine" would work like Faux News: Make you less informed.
This is what happens to your brain when it's covered with bumper stickers.
Do you suppose right-wingers prefer to buy "non-liberal" cars? "Non-liberal" toasters? "Non-liberal" toilet paper?

The bones and eggs of a new 70-million-year-old dinosaur that resembled a flightless bird have been found in Patagonia, scientists say.
Palaeontologists said they expected the eggs, which were fertilised and well-developed, to help explain how birds evolved from dinosaurs.
Some of the eggs were probably still inside the mother dinosaur when she died - other eggs were nearby.
The new species, Bonapartenykus ultimus, is a member of the small, long-legged, fast-moving Alvarezsaurid dinosaur family, they report in Cretaceous Research.
Although the link to modern-day birds has been disputed in the past, palaeontologist Fernando Novas said the current batch of bones resembled the skeleton of the Nandu, a modern flightless bird of the Rhea genus, native to Patagonia.

My formal science education was school level only. I left the last link for educated folk like you and Stuart Oxley.
Thank you for your contributions.
I like this fossil of Archaeopteryx with its feathers, teeth and claws, which was found in Germany. The fossil also supports the theory that birds evolved from Dinasours. I'm not aware of any other plausible explanation.
Forgive me if I'm about to say something totally ignorant. My understanding is that fossils generally form where the ground is muddy. So, if we guess that this is a mother, maybe with a nest, can we guess that she spent a great deal of time in or around water? Was she a water dino the way we have cranes or geese now?
I'm not a scientist.
The Archaeopteryx is known in German as Urvogal meaning 'first bird'. It's fossils are found in solnhoffen limestone in Bavaria Germany.
The habitat at the time is described as lagoons and islands and Archaeopteryx probably could fly and glide.
Whether or not the bird also swam might be determined by any evidence of webbed feet or similar attributes.
Cool! Thank you!

Court Says Suit Can Proceed over WTC 7
The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey can be sued for negligence over the collapse of a World Trade Center building in the September 11 attacks in 2001, a U.S. appeals court ruled on Tuesday. The lawsuit centers on 7 World Trade Center, which was built just north of the World Trade Center site, above an existing Con Edison base station, the appeals court decision said.
Poll: 48% of New Yorkers Support Investigation of WTC 7
Amid its launch of 425 advertising spots on New York television, Remember Building 7 – an advocacy campaign calling for a new investigation into the collapse of a third skyscraper on 9/11 – has released findings from a new poll it commissioned on what New Yorkers believe about that day. The poll shows meaningful levels of doubt and concern regarding the truth about what happened that day, with only 60 percent of New Yorkers ready to "move on", and 48 percent in favor of opening a new investigation into the collapse of World Trade Center Building 7.

Debate: What Brought Down Three WTC Skyscrapers?
On Sunday, March 6, 2011, Colorado citizens will sponsor a two-hour debate at the University of Colorado, Boulder to explore the question "What brought down the three World Trade Center Towers?" The intense and controversial debate is set between proponents of the "controlled demolition" theory and the "natural collapse" theory. At 5 PM, Richard Gage, AIA, a 23-year architect and founder of Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth, will square off with Chris Mohr, Denver investigative journalist.
Mr. Gage will be presenting scientific information about the complete collapse of WTC1, WTC2 and WTC7 that has not been covered in the media. This event should be of particular interest since Mr. Mohr has been in consultation with the U.S. government's National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in preparation for this debate.
Dick Gregory Joins Forces with AE911Truth
Many people know Dick Gregory as a luminary of the American civil rights movement, who partnered with Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. and other activists to promote racial equality and an end to the Vietnam War. Others recognize him as a popular comedian, whose humorous acts have earned him international renown. Gregory has been lauded by presidents and honored by Hollywood over his distinguished and diverse career… but he has set all of those accolades aside to support the work of the 9/11 truth movement – and specifically the Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth.

Lupe Fiasco Namechecks WTC 7
Rapper Lupe Fiasco namechecks the destruction of World Trade Center Building 7 in his recent track, Words I Never Said:
"I really think the war on terror is a bunch of bullsh*t,
Just a poor excuse for you to use up all your bullets,
How much money does it take to really make a full clip,
9/11 building 7 did they really pull it?
Uhh, And a bunch of other cover ups…"

Compatible Printer List:
Many consumers are worried if the use of compatible or aftermarket printing supplies will void their printer's warranty. The answer is no.
More simply put, this means that your printer warranty cannot be voided just because you choose to use compatible products unless the manufacturer can prove that the compatible product caused direct damage to your printer. In cases such as this, the manufacturer may choose not to repair your printer but your warranty would remain in effect for all other warranty issues.

I live in Northeast Ohio in the USA. If you listened to most media in our state on a regular basis it would have you believe that we might as well close down and move out. The economy is tanked, foreclosures are at epidemic proportions, jobs are exiting to China and more.
I have held out for my 9 years in this state that the key to turning things around is education, period. Here is an article excerpt from Crain's Cleveland Business:
Thousands of jobs in this region and across Ohio are going unfilled for lack of skilled workers, leading Gov. Ted Strickland to push new programs for the state's oft-criticized system for training workers.
Four of every 10 employers in Ohio reported having a hard time finding qualified workers.
In this region, thousands of job are open in health care, high technology, information technology and manufacturing.
There's a perception that manufacturing is dead, and it's anything but," said Jack Schron, who employs 200 at his Collinwood rail yard plant.
Let's see, plenty of jobs, not enough skilled workers, how to close the gap, sounds like education and training to me.
Read the full article: Thousands of jobs go unfilled for lack of skilled workers
P.S. Watch the upcoming Democratic debate, it will be filled with economic negatives, big business is bad messages aimed at Ohio. Seems to me the focus should be on education and training, not pity pile-ons.

Kickstarter now serving up glorious mech combat
Robots do a lot of amazing things for us these days, such as building cars and snuggling with the elderly, but one thing they don't do enough of is fire rockets and PPCs at one another. That's why "Help us build a Mech Warfare Robot Arena!" gets my vote for best Kickstarter project name ever. Now that's what I'm talkin' 'bout. Talkin' 'bot? Hm.
The Mech Warfare competition is run by "a group of hobbyists, robotics engineers, students, and various humans" who are humbly requesting a mere $6,000 (of which $2,000 has already been pledged as of this post) in crowd-sourced funds.
In return, they promise a modular, "armored" arena that has a mini city made of Lexan and aluminum, and necessary-sounding walls to "keep the spectators on the outside safe from stray micro-rockets and BBs." There will also be live streams of the action, including footage from the view of the mechs.
That last bit is one of the big draws of the Mech Warfare competition: the 'bots are piloted remotely in a first-person view, so the operators are essentially playing Mech Warrior out in the real world. The 'bots aren't taller than anyone's knee, sure, but this bigger arena will allow for some bigger robots. You can learn more at Mech Warfare's Kickstarter here.
Give Mech Warfare a decade, and I'm hoping it looks more like this.

Even the least-expensive construction materials can be assembled into a durable, cost-effective RV that can provide years of satisfactory service. At the same time, top-end materials assembled by incompetently trained or unenthusiastic employees can result in disaster. It's all in how the manufacturer approaches training, equipment and quality control. So don't let anyone tell you a wood-framed trailer with corrugated siding isn't a good idea. If it's built well, it could turn out to be a great buy.
Ever Wonder how your RV was built?
Construction Techniques – You'll find a broad range of construction methods with any type of RV. Construction materials include: steel, aluminum or wooden support members, soft sidewalls, laminated sidewalls and varying types of roofing materials. They all have their pros and cons, periodic maintenance schedules and enhancements.
The exterior structure of the RV is made of fiberglass or metal. Metal, rubber And plastic components are also attached to or part of the exterior structure of the trailer. The finish on those materials is durable but not indestructible. Any material or finish will deteriorate in time.
We cover important aspects of RV Construction such as; chassis, frames, exterior wall construction, structure insulation types, plumbing, electrical, cabinets, windows and roofing materials.

HOW TO SPOT A WELL-BUILT RV, Is this a "Joke?
RV Construction Methods
Ever wonder how your RV was built?
How to compare quality from one brand to another?
Quality can be many things. If you mean the absence of defects, then there is no clear distinction. RVs are basically hand built, one at a time, and each one differs from the last, so the manufacturing process never gets finely tuned for zero defects. Human mistakes are common and seem to occur equally in all brands & models.
Quality of materials, however, tends to follow price. If one RV costs less than another of seemingly the same amenities and size, you can be pretty sure that the less expensive one has skimped on materials. Light duty frames and running gear, cheap tires, cabinetry made of particle board and paper veneer, marginally sized wiring, cheaper components in things like charging systems, plumbing and lighting, poorer insulation, decals that fade quickly, and lower quality paint jobs are some common examples. RV pricing at the wholesale level is fiercely price competitive, so a difference in MSRP will clearly indicate a difference in the cost of construction and therefore build quality. At the retail level, dealer pricing (discounts) can vary quite a bit, though.
There is not a lot of variability in the size & type you are looking at. A 25 foot travel trailer is basically a commodity, an entry level product. It's a box on a steel frame, built using standard components from the same suppliers that many other manufacturers use. Stoves, water heaters, fridges, water pump, a/c, furnace, etc. will come from one of 2-3 major suppliers of those items and the component quality is similar.
In general, heavier means more rugged. The recent trend toward "lite" has produced trailer frames that bend/twist, undersized axles, and other hidden means of reducing weight. You may not care if you don't travel far or often, but for extended travel you want a rugged chassis and suspension.

My brain has slightly recovered from a month of Nano insanity. Slightly.
This past month, and actually the month preceding it, have done huge things for my writing adventures. NaNoWriMo has been an invaluable experience, in which I've learned many new things and have also been reminded of important things I knew but had forgotten. Obviously these are personal to my own process, but if they help anyone, I'm happy to share!
1. I need a long and very involved discovery phase.
Some people can think a few ideas up and go outline them. That's not me. I have found that I need a long time to think and mull and research and experiment. It does not come quickly for me. I really think if I went through this whole phase and came out with a completed outline (instead of the partial one I had during Nano), that I would enjoy the writing so much more and that I might actually be more productive because I wouldn't be solving huge issues on the fly.
2. I have to write about writing in order to write.
I thought I was strange for this until I discovered that many other writers do the same thing. No one really knows how to explain it, so we all just think we're odd. I have a journaling document that accompanies my project file. During the discovery phase, I type every crazy thought into that document. I talk/write to myself to figure out the plot. I say what I'd like to happen and why. These conversations with myself seem to be essential to my process. I end up with thousands of words that might be useless as words, but the ideas that come from them are the backbone of my story.
3. I need a set time to write.
If I just sit down to write with 6 free hours, I will undoubtedly stare into space (and not in the productive way) for 4 hours and 49 minutes and then realize that the page is still blank. Now I only have an hour left to do something, ANYTHING to make the past 5 hours of staring worthwhile. If I give myself 1 hour to write and have no idea what I'm working on, I can come up with about 800 to 1,000 words. If I know beforehand what I'm going to work on in that same hour, I can get anywhere from 2,000 to 2,500 words.
I put aside an hour at lunch and an hour in the evening for Nano and had no issue getting out 2,000 words a day except for the days when I really didn't know what I was doing story-wise. It seems that I am more productive if I give myself LESS time to write because I won't waste it.
4. I love twitter sprints and the community that comes with them!
I would not have made it to 50K if it were not for a boatload of twitter sprints. The standing daily sprint each weekday with the ROW80 crowd was amazing. In addition to that, I sprinted in the evening and on weekends with local Wrimos, some of the MyWana crew, and more ROWers. There were so many participants throughout the month that provided motivation and encouragement. I thank you all!! This may sound strange, but I almost don't want to write any other way. I looked forward to the time I had set aside each day and loved having good company! Communal writing is for me!
5. When stuck, just skip around.
Because huge pieces of my plot were either hazy or missing completely, there were times I was stuck but still needed to make the word count for that day. I moved forward into the story to a part I did know and worked on that. I really enjoyed skipping around. It kept up the forward momentum, didn't allow me to mentally cripple myself into putting it away, and sometimes even solved the earlier problem that I was having to being with.
6. If I have headphones, I can write anywhere.
This past month, I've written at work, at home, in a cafe, a library, and my car. I wrote through vacuuming, screaming children, and some of my favorite movies/tv shows being played all of 20 feet from me. I even wrote while sitting at the same table with friends having a very heated political debate! All I need is headphones to drown out the sound, and I'm good. I found that I actually prefer to be amongst people while working. There's some sort of secret pleasure in being immersed in my world that no one else knows about quite yet.
I'm sure there are more things I've learned, but those are the ones that stand out at the moment. I feel like doing Nano has changed a lot of things. I am definitely a Wrimo for life! As far as goals for the rest of this round, I'm still a little bit frazzled. A couple HUGE life things happened in November that I chose to ignore as to not get distracted from Nano. So this week, I'm going to relax, reorganize, and come up with new goals. I should have something posted either Wednesday or Sunday.
For the ROWers, I drudged up some frantic, funny, and inspiring moments from our twitter feeds from the past month for your post-Nano enjoyment:
Hope you enjoyed!! Have any favorite Nano moments of your own? Thanks again for all the support over the last month!! Check out all the wonderful ROW80 updates HERE!

"This is a great risotto recipe! I only added 4 cups of chicken stock (one box) and 4 T of butter. This was so great with Shrimp Fra Diavolo over it (Giada's recipe on foodnetwork.com)!!"
"Great cake, I baked mine for 33 minutes in a 13 x 9 - perfect. I also plumped my dried cherries ahead of time (put them in 1 1/2 c of water and cooked them for 2 minutes on high in the microwave). Loved the texture and taste with our morning coffee!"
"We loved this recipe! I wanted to double it the last time I made it, but only had one container of alfredo sauce, so I added milk and parmesan to the soup. Also it is great if you toss in ravioli or tortellini - very filling!"
"This is absolutely the best cake and custard recipe - it is the richest strawberry shortcake recipe ever! I use 2% milk when making the custard and it is still great!"
"I used black beans instead of the black eyed peas = more southwestern. I also added a little salt too. This was a hit at our Bunco night!"
"The cilantro makes the dish - don't use parsley! I added a bit more peanut butter to the dipping sauce just to thicken it. Fantastic recipe!"
"This is one of our family favorites! We like to grill our chicken instead of boiling it."
"My family really loved this recipe. Highly recommend! The only change I would make would be to add the garlic to the cheese/bread crumb mixture."

Built to explore the harshest, most remote regions of the world, from Antarctica to the Bering Strait, expedition ships usually are rustic affairs. But there won't be anything rustic about Silversea's new expedition ship, the Prince Albert II.
In a press conference this week at the Seatrade cruise convention in Miami, Silversea CEO Amerigo Perasso painted a picture of a globe-trotting vessel that will be as luxurious as it is hardy.
"It will be unprecedented in this segment of the market," says Perasso of the 132-passenger ship, which will debut on June 3. "We believe there is an untapped market for people who want a (high) level of comfort" even while voyaging to the ends of the Earth.
Among the highlights of the ship, says Perasso, are six spacious luxury suites that he says will be like nothing ever seen before on an expedition ship. Filling up the entire top floor of the vessel, the suites can be booked separately or together to form giant, multi-room mega-suites.
The Prince Albert II also will have an elegant theater (to be used mostly for lectures) and an outdoor deck with whirlpools -- unusual features for expedition ships. Other amenities not often found on expedition ships include a spiffy library and Internet center.
"We're quite positive that this will be a hit," Perasso tells us, noting that the line's wealthy customers are clamoring for the kind of adventures that only expedition ships can do. "We think the demand is there."
Silversea bought the 6,072-ton Prince Albert II, which formerly sailed as the World Discoverer, last September, but people who sailed on the ship before will be hard pressed to recognize it. Silversea has spent millions gutting the vessel's interior and rebuilding it from the ground up, in the process reducing the number of cabins to make the ice-rated vessel more spacious and upscale.
The ship will spend its maiden season sailing to Svalbard, Iceland, Greenland, Belize, Costa Rica, the Sea of Cortez, South America and Antarctica. Prices for voyages start at $3,867 per person, based on double occupancy and including shore excursions.

New Traveling Exhibition: Destination Mexico
Forest Home Farms Historic Park and the Glass House Museum will present "Destination México," an exhibition organized by the DeGolyer Library at Southern Methodist University, the Clements Center for Southwest Study and Humanities Texas, the state affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities.
Beginning in the 1880s, private companies and entrepreneurs in the United States began promoting tourism to Mexico, labeling the country "a Foreign Land a Step Away."
"Destination México" illuminates eight decades of tourist travel to Mexico, from the first rail connections in the mid-1880s to the advent of the jet age in the late 1950s.
The exhibition displays a large collection of mementos from many tourists' travels to Mexico, including post cards, saved leaflets and organized snapshots from the Boone Family Collection. "Destination Mexico" also examines the influence of political and economic conditions in Mexico and the United States and technological developments on tourism.
The exhibition will be available to the public from October 12-December 13 and is included as part of a tour of the Glass House Museum.
Mexican National Railway Booklet, 1890
Forest Home Farms Historic Park 2nd Saturday FREE Activities

October 11– Seeds We Munch
We don't graze in the fields like horses and cows do, but most of us eat grass seeds every day. Come discover how corn, wheat and other grains make it into your daily diet. Try processing some grains the old fashioned way as you shell corn by hand, grind wheat and sift fl our. You can also learn a song about grain and use part of the plant we don't eat to make a corn husk doll.
November 8–Walnuts and Woodworking
After harvest, the hull (the green layer that covers the shell) of the walnut needs to be removed. See our antique huller in action doing this job, and learn more about this nut that was an important crop in the San Ramon Valley. Next, take a look at how wood is worked to make everything from toys to buildings. Try your hand at drilling with a hand-powered drill, and make a wooden top to take home.

The Glass House Museum is a restored 1877 Victorian Italianate style home located at Forest Home Farms Historic Park in San Ramon. The Victorian Life Education Program is designed for grades 2-5 and corresponds with the State of California History/Social Science curriculum. The field trip includes a tour of the home and age appropriate hands-on activities conducted by trained, costumed docents. The focus of the program is to help the student develop a better understanding of daily life in a Victorian era farm house from the mid to late 1800's through 1910 in the San Ramon Valley. Field trips are scheduled weekdays and are available on a first come, first served, space available basis.
