Qt Quick for multimedia
Hey guys
this is my first Question here on this nice piece of web.
I'm impatient for the release of Qt Quick and I hope that this fantastic new feature
will be a success.
What I wanna know is how difficult could it be to put in multimedia contents like
movie clips, musik and other stuff into that kind of app. Do I have to implement it in
C++ or are there any features for that kind of content provided by Qt Quick ?
I hope you know what I mean ; )

30 Nicknames That Make Great Baby Names
Posted by Lauren Hartmann
While looking for baby names, I remember falling in love with quite a few nicknames only to realize that I couldn't stand their more formal version and felt like I needed to nix the name because of it. Perhaps some of you have felt the same? Maybe you fell in love with the name "Minnie" but weren't so keen on it's full-length version…the dated sounding "Minerva". Well, I'd like to think that sometimes nicknames make the best baby names. Here are 30 nicknames that have great baby name potential.
30 Nicknames That Make Great Baby Names
If you love nicknames, you'll love this baby name list!
I love the name Abe – a shortened version of Abraham or possibly even Abeline.
This one isn't a terribly uncommon nickname version of Adeline, Addison, Hadley, and Madeline but I'm still quite fond of it.
Aggie is a cute nickname for Agatha, Agnes, August or Augustus.
I love the name Bea (or Bee) all on it's own, although it's actually a nickname for Beatrice, Beatrix, or Phoebe to name a few.
Becks is a fun nickname for Beckett, Beckham or even Rebecca.
Bert is a nickname derived from Robert, Hubert, Albert, Gilbert or Burton…and quite a few others as well!
Billie is the nickname version of William, Willhemina or maybe even Elizabeth.
Charlie is an adorable nickname that that Charlotte or Charles can claim, but I like it by itself too.
Corinne, Colette, Cordelia and Chloe can all be turned into Coco as their nickname.
Dot is a spunky shortening of Dorothy, Dorthea, or Theodora.
Edie is a lovely name – a nickname for Edith, Eden, or Elodie.
Elias, Elijah, Elliott are all great names, but Eli is just as great in it's short and sweet way.
Ellie is the adorable nickname belonging to these names just to name a few: Eloise, Elisabeth, Elisa, Ella, and Ellen.
Evangeline, Genevieve, Everly, Evelyn are all long options for Evie.
Fiona, Phoebe or Felix are all cute names, but I think "just Fi" is equally endearing.
A much beloved nickname short for Finnegan, Finley or even Phineas. This is a tried and true nickname classic.
Fitz (short for Fitzgerald) sounds so fun and cheeky for a little man.
While Frankie may sound like a nickname for a little boy, perhaps short for Franklin, I much prefer it for a little girl – perhaps a nod to its longer form of Francesca, Francis or Francine.
Gianna, Gillian, Ginger, Giselle are just a few of the longer versions of Gigi.
This nickname for Henry sounds super old school and modern all at the same time and I kind of love it.
Short for Julia, Juliet, Julian or quite a few others, I've always been partial to the nickname Jules.
While it's long version McKenzie has already had it's heyday in popularity, Kenzie feels new and unexpected.
Louise, Eloise, Lucy…or just Lulu which is super cute.
Margaret, Marjorie and Magdalena are all a bit more traditional sounding, but their nickname Maggie sounds fresh and fun.
Millicent, Mildred, Amelia, Camilla are all lengthened versions of the adorable nickname Millie.
Traditionally a nickname for Minerva, but I think it could work as a nickname for Emmaline as well. Minnie is a fun name by itself though.
Penny is a nickname for Penelope (or possibly Peony, but that may be a bit of a stretch). It's such a cute name for a little girl!
While I may not be a huge fan of the long versions of this name (Prudence or Prunella), I think Pru is quite lovely.
A nickname version of Quentin, Quinlann or Quincy.
Remy is a nickname for Remington and while I don't know of any other long versions of it, I think it's a great stand alone baby name option.

Gabe Newell has said there is a good reason that they can't talk about progress for Episode Three and I think it's because they are working on a new Source engine, or at least a huge update for the current version.
There's only so much tweaking you can do before you have to start afresh; it's the same with hardware. Some changes can't be incremental.
Now, obviously I could be completely wrong, but if I am not then waiting for a new engine is cool with me.
It seems to me that in many ways Source is behind CryEngine3 and Unreal Engine3, at least in the perception of some. There's no doubt that the support Valve offers is fantastic but would the use of Source be so popular if it wasn't tied to Steam?
The question is would you be happy to wait for Episode Three, simply because it could be on a new engine?

Please, let not us wait for a large iteration of Source. There's always going to be some upgrading of the beast, but I'd really like Episode 3 not to be vapourware and when designers have new engines with new capablities they write full length games around them.
I'd like Source 2.0 to be heralded by the game they make after Half Life is finished. An experience designed from the ground up to work with this new engine.
Also, I fear that a Source 2.0 would take the shine away from the current source modding community, which just now seems to be picking up it's pace with fantastic releases such as Korsokovia, Radiator and even Sci Fi CSS.
Keep up the blog, Aon
I would prefer that they use the best engine possible for Ep3. It will for sure contain epic scenes, and I want to see them with the best visual quality possible.
My secret hope is that they are currently working on OpenGL for Source, and want to have Ep3 to run under GNU/Linux.
I have mixed feelings about this.
I have answered with the second option, because I think even with Ep2 quality, this final episode will be worthy of the rest of HL2 in terms of graphics, engine effects etc. The episodes have to feel like a whole, and having one a drastic step above the others won't do any good in that sense. Plus, it would undermine the effect of a new engine with a new game app if they have one planned. Brand new games with brand new engines are talked about more and end up selling more.On the other hand, I'm really looking forward to a newer version of Source much more eagerly than I'm waiting for Ep3.
I find Hammer the most comfortable editor to work with out of all the ones I've tried, but there are several things where it's stuck 12 years into the past (rules for creation of solids, the way lighting is precalculated, there's a different lighting procedure for the world geometry and models etc).The good thing about the evolution of the Source engine is that Valve would find a way to make all the current HL1 and HL2 map files compatible with it.
Imagine Black Mesa and other mods looking even better than they do now! -
i don't think they will introduce there new source 2 with "just" another episode, therefore I too think like mentioned above
that the game they make after Half Life will use the new source 2.0.
maybe Gave Newell couldn't say anything about ep3 because of the carakters that are used in it, maybe they leave someone out. I would LOVE to map with the new editor because its time for something new I think, although most people will probebly not agree with me.
we have to wait and see what they will come up with next…leon
The only thing I'm worried of is the risk of more and more bloat in the engine as it does things it wasn't ever meant to do. But if they can still manage DirectX 8 support, that's a good thing for anyone with a bad computer.
Maybe AFTER Episode 3, start working on something different, but only if it'll be just as awesome. -
I doubt they're introducing something entirely new. And I certainly don't think that Episode 3 should be used for heralding it in.
However mods like "City 17: Episode 1″ show that there is still enough that can be done with the engine.
Personally I think the wait is in part to do with a game larger in size and scope than Episode 1 & 2. In part with some nifty new additions to the source engine. And perhaps something to bundle it with (especially on the console market)
It depends if my computer can handle a new source engine
If you're going to roll out a new engine, you roll it out with a brand new game. You don't decide to change course in between episodic content and potentially screw users with either a new engine they can't run due to low system reqs, or subject other users to the bugs of an untested and unproven engine.
Is Source outdated compared to more modern engines like Unreal Engine 3 and Crytek? Probably. But that's where skilled art direction comes in. No amount of gigaflops can make up for slipshod art direction. Unreal Tournament 3 proves that time and time again.
I just wish that the engine be what it is already for the sake of not appearing new bugs and other problems, and a new implementation like what occured with ep1 and ep2 would be more than enough. Also, that wouldn't cause the market to accelerate itself by selling more "up to date" hardware because of a entire engine rebuild.
Sorry if the answer was like Kyouryuu ones, its because I just posted without reading the other answers. Will read 'em now.
Episodes only need to be the next installment of the existing game with the current source engine. A new engine deserves a whole new game.
I'm 100% conviced there's a new engine being "built" for Episode Three.
The delay also has a lot to do with the rescession: A lot of people arn't gonna be able to afford a new computer just to play Episode Three on the new engine (at least not as many as upgraded "just" for HL2 in "04). IMO they're waiting until more people have the odd £1000 of disposable money again.
I'm sure the "delay" has more to do with how Valve simply has its hands full with Left 4 Dead and Team Fortress 2 at the moment, to say nothing of Portal 2.
My guess, actually, is that they are trying to align everything around a new Orange Box. Get Portal 2 done, get Episode 3 done – perhaps something else to round out the package – and release a second Orange Box.
As far as a new engine goes, as I said above, if you roll out a new engine you will invariably have bugs with it. Source has had almost five years to evolve into a stable and reliable engine. On top of that, if you're going to make a brand new engine, you'd have to consider aiming for a much higher visual bar, which would alienate users with lower-end systems who have been faithful to your product and want to know how the story ends. It also likely means remaking all your assets to fit this new visual bar, which is no small task.
There's also the issue of the consoles. I'm sure it was no small feat to port the Source Engine for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 – and even the latter was less than spectacular. Nevertheless, that code base exists and therefore basing a new product on it would be much less expensive than having to deal with brand new tech.
What's more likely is a substantial but largely incremental upgrade to the existing engine, much like has been done for Left 4 Dead 2.
Yes, HL2_Ep3 should wait for a new Source engine. There's no way dancing around the issues.
Being a FarCry diehard, and a dedicated HL/HL2 fan, the Source engine is antique…lol! -
I don't think it's a whole new engine. I think It's the L4D version of the engine, but with a weather system, and if we're really lucky: global illumination.
as a modder, there is nothing I find more frustrating than working with source's lighting limitations. regular lights are not dynamic, and if you make them dynamic, they don't "bounce" making them extremely ugly. subtleties of my mod's story have changed to accommodate this.
I wholeheartedly agree with you. So much is conditioned by not having a global lighting system.
Just a simple and realistic sequence with a breaking wall could look 10 times better with it.
unfortunately, I can barely run Episode 2.. I have been running on the Intel 945! I am hoping I will be having some steady income by the time episode 3 arrives so I can take advantage of whatever it will be. I would rather see a new engine for something completely fresh.. preferably for Half-Life 3.
I sincerely hope that if there is to be a new engine, then it's for a new game, not for Episode 3.
I read everyone's comments, and it did occur to me that such a "new game" might be HL3 rather than Ep3….
Still, whatever, I've got a whole load more grey hair since HL2, and a lot less "disposable" income, the idea of having to shell out for an entirely new rig doesn't fill me with joy….
I think the engine is fine. Episode 2 still looks great 2 years later, it's the game play mechanics that are really starting to show their age. I think games like halo and gears of war have shown that the 3 things I feel for a game to be fun and allow for better tactical combat are:
* grenade toggle
* melee combat for all weapons (im tired of bringing out the crowbar every time I want to bust open a crate)
* cover systemanyways, that's just my opinion, and what I HOPE valve is implementing into the source engine and why it's taking so long
I don't think they are working on a complete new engine. They will iterate on what they have for a very long time. It's easier, faster and they can keep working on new titles without a major halt.
I hope that Episode3 takes time due to perfection. Episode1 was okey, but Episode2 was an awesome game. So hopefully they continue the quality of Episode2. And if Episode3 would be the end of Half-Life, which I don't think, it has to be silly good. I feel there is much left to explore and do in this universe, with the story, characters and the connections to Portal. Anyway, we will see.
As long as Half-Life is developed through episodes, I prefer the same look. And with this current engine Valve can produce games that will be accessible by everyone and not requiring some monster computer.
I don't know when Ep3 will come out, but if it does around November 2010, it will be a full 6 years after HL2's release.
Hl2 came out around 6 years after Hl1. Yet the difference and evolution in those 6 years is so much greater than the HL2->Episodes evolution.
Now I understand that creating content for Source is much harder than for Hl1. But hasn't Valve as a company gotten bigger? Where does it show besides the new multiplayer apps and update support (which also existed with HL1, btw).
Something doesn't add up. I know it works in my favour as a level designer, but there's something chronologically wrong about the half-life series as software.-
You're basically saying, "Where does it show aside from those three massively popular new games?"
Left 4 Dead. Team Fortress 2. Portal.
There's your answer. I don't see how anyone can just gloss those over as minor achievements. While Valve hasn't been speedy about producing new Half-Life games, they are still releasing roughly one new game a year. That's rather prolific in an industry where the average development cycle is somewhere around a couple years.
Yes, I guess it has something to do with not being interested at all in the first two of those three and finding the third one to be entertaining but not worth my level design time because of the limited theme.
I guess I'm spoiled by the massive unit that Half-life, Opposing Force and Blue-Shift created in a span of 2 and a half years.
I'd take any HL2 singeplayer addon featuring anyone like Barney, a metrocop, a Combine soldier etc over any multiplayer game or remake of one. And we amateur level designers have shown one time too many that there has been plenty of time to do so IMO.-
Valve didn't even make the HL1 expansion packs. They were all handled by Gearbox Software. Valve was busy juggling a number of multiplayer products at the time. Team Fortress, Counter-Strike, even Ricochet were developed in the intervening years prior to HL2.
By some statistic, in a little over 10 years, Valve itself has developed just over 20 games, all of which were original IP and of remarkable quality. That's nothing to scoff at.
As far as the claim that amateur level designers have somehow shown that faster development is possible, that is obviously a subjective assessment. In my opinion, the only SP mod that reached the Valve bar was Minerva. This is not a comparison I throw around lightly.
Even then, Minerva represents a single "chapter" at most. There has been no SP mod that has reached Valve quality that is the length of even an Episode, let alone an entire game.
Not that I'm challenging designers to try. Especially if we're talking about individuals or small teams, there's an art to distilling the best ideas down to their core essence and eliminating all the fat and filler that plumps up the larger SP mods.
I'm well aware of who made the HL1 addons, and I'm well aware that Valve decided not to expand the HL2 universe in a similar way and instead opted for the misleading "episodic" approach. That doesn't make my opinion any less valid. Of course here at PP I'm discussing singleplayer games and a company who makes them, so the counter-strikes, left4deads, HL2DMs, Team Fortresses, Day of Defeats etc are none of my concern.
I don't care if a car maker has made 10 brand new motorcycles. I'm interested in the cars and why they are making them below their possibilities.As for subjective assesments, I never said that all amateur level designers had reached "Valve quality" in their work. Even so, you'll find parts of HL2 itself which look bland, underdetailed and certainly below the quality that fan-made singleplayers maps have reached (your own Powerstation 17 for example). It's ok because in 2004 it still looked better than most of the stuff available.
Minerva does probably reach the Valve bar (episodic, mind you) in terms of visual polish and sound ambience, but is certainly not the closest thing to Valve's pacing or level layouts. Not to mention the absence of friendly NPCs (key to the HL2 formula) and the narration method chosen.
Minerva is probably a very bad example of what I was trying to say, since it was in the making for an extremely long time compared to how long it lasts. You are right in that sense. It does feel like Valve!Try to understand my reasoning. While I'll never claim The Citizen to be "Valve quality" (even though some people say parts of it get close), the fact that Chris Fox and I made that in 7+3 months (of our spare time!! Not our fulltime jobs!!) makes me wonder how many people really work at Valve and what are they really doing for a living.
If you have the luck of enjoying those multiplayer games they've been making, then your reasoning is perfectly valid. Unfortunately I'm not that satisfied and feel we could have so much more of the HL2 universe by now. I'm trying to add my grain of salt with what I can do.
It probably takes too much effort to achieve the kind of visual quality seen in HL2:E2 and Portal, using the Orange Box iteration of the Source Engine. The visual quality bar has been raised substantially since the release of HL2:E2, and let's face it, everyone likes a good looking game. However, functionally, as a few poster's have already pointed out, limitations in lighting and shadowing make for a laborious experience with respect to mapping and editing.
I would love to see a new engine. Chances are it won't be OpenGL based, but I'm right there with Zanpa on that one.
I do not think they will make it OpenGL. They have Microsoft roots, and they wont "betray" theire own creation of good old DirectX, will they?
I think the following improvements, yet partly already visible in L4D2 and the Episode 2, will be continued:
– Improved look of certain particle systems
– Increased budget of dynamic, shadow casting lights
– Some good emulation of Subsurface Scattering for theire Ice Landscapes in Ep3, or at least an improved lightmapper
– Again, Vastly improved animation system (listen to the commentary mode, thats what they are actually working on)
– Highly improved AI
– More specular shading stuff
– Higher resoluted textures…to be continued…
The actual problem is, that source engine uses FFP for compatibility, so.. there is not much space for revolutionary improvements.
My personal hope is, that they do build in a photorealistic raytracing mode, so the Yerli broths. from Crytek getting a shock for life.. the programming quality of source is so waaay better than cryengine [imho]. Yerli broths did not deserve anything better.
upgrade the engine, then ship. I, as a developer, and a gamer, want to make my mods look better, and make my games more realistic to play without switching engines. I love source, and it's the only engine that actually supports a great story based game, there are moments when source looks like real life now, and if they get another update out there, then the engine may be up to par with unreal…

But if this keeps up, they might consider changing it back. In Saturday's Aaron's 312, Busch got his fourth win in six races this season taking the checkered flag under yellow.
"It comes down to who you can work with at the end of the race, Busch said. Fortunately we had a teammate that was really good to work with today in Joey (Logano). The Game Stop guys did a nice job of keeping him in position all day."
The race's final lap couldn't have personified the day's events any better — both good and bad.
With Logano pushing, Busch shot through the middle of the pack to add to an already obliterated record for lead changes, and then behind them, disaster struck for the 11th time on the day.
Mike Wallace got turned around, made contact sending him airborne flipping onto his hood and then back onto his wheels.
NASCAR threw the yellow flag and then froze the field. After a short deliberation, Busch was awarded the win.
Wallace's wreck was the 11th caution of the day, and the biggest was a Talladega Superspeedway signature wreck where 21 cars were collected.
Busch's winning pass marked the 56th lead change among 18 drivers. The old record, also set at Talladega Superspeedway, was 36.
"I saw daylight, and I said if I can see daylight I'm shooting for it," Busch said. "I knew that was it, that it was the only opportunity I'd have. Somehow we made it through there.
"I didn't think it was wide enough for a car to fit through, but I certainly made it wide enough. I closed my eyes and held my foot to the floor and prayed for the best."
While the win personified what was going on in the Nationwide this season, it also personified what's been going on in the sport for a while.
Busch's win was his 47 in the series and is only two shy of Mark Martin's record of 49. While he has achieved the mark earlier in his career than Martin, the two are on just about the same pace. Busch has 47 wins in 209 starts, while it took Martin 233 starts to set the record mark.
"The Mark Martin record is three away from being in my own number," Busch said. "When and where that happens we are not going to pick a date, it is to hard to do that. We have Darlington coming up, we got Dover, Nashville next week, so there is definitely some good opportunity here to win three more races before June or right into June.
"If everything goes right maybe we can do that. If it come this year great, if not we will wait and see if we can do it next year."'
When it happens, Busch's name will be the only one that goes down in the record book, but what he did Saturday would have never been possible without the help of his Joe Gibbs teammate.
And even if Busch has had no success in the series, with Logano in his corner, it would have been hard to count him out — Logano has pushed the past three Aaron's 312 winners to victory lane.
"My car is best pushing," Logano said. " … Kyle is not able to do that with his car, so I was like, 'OK, I'll be the pusher,' and I feel safer that way any way.
"It is usually the guy getting pushed that gets spun out. …I'm kind of bombed out the caution came out there. I wanted to race to the checkered flag."
Joe Nemechek finished third, followed by Brad Keselowski and Elliott Sadler fifth. Trevor Bayne, Justin Allgaier, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Reed Sorensen and Aric Almirola rounded out the Top 10.
Jason Leffner finished 15th to take a slim lead in the Nationwide Series Standing. Leffler has a two point lead over Allgaier.
While few remember third place, Nemechek couldn't have been happier. Not on one of NASCAR's super teams, his finish on Saturday came without nearly the funds others are able to devote to their programs.
Even his sponsor was just a one-race deal.
"How about that for a small team," Nemechek said. "We're struggling to find a sponsorship. I thank Kevin Conway and the Extenze brand for coming on board.
"… I just wish it would have finished under green because we had a run coming back on the inside. Brad Keselowski gave me a heck of a push there and we just missed it. It's great to finally have a run."

What is the importance of using species plants in hybridizing? I have found listings for species seed and wonder if it would be a good idea to use them as parents to cross with the hybrids I already have? Thanks, SAM |
Follow-Up Postings:
Sambal, "I have found listings for species seed and wonder if it would be a good idea to use them as parents to cross with the hybrids I already have?" Sometimes under prolonged cultivation a species can lose some of its natural resistance to pests or diseases, or some of its natural hardiness to weather extremes. It can lose some of its genetic diversity. Back crossing to the wild forms can reduce this trend. It's a good idea to know the chromosome number of your domestic hybrid and to know the chromosome numbers of the wild species you are considering. Crosses between different chromosome numbers are usual sterile. If you are propagating the plant asexually, that isn't a problem. MM |
MM Thanks. But how do you know how many chrosomes a plant has? Is there a list or a database somewhere? There is a heuchera called micranatha Palace Purple that is said to be offered in the trade as both americana and micrantha. Does that mean it is a cross between those two species? I would think that any cross between two species could produce more than one variety of plant? The chromosomes making up Palace Purple must be fixed as I see them for sale everywhere..unless they are vegetatively propagated? The catalog offers the seed as 'palace purple'so I assume that is the plant you will get from growing the seed. On the other hand, I have read that Delphinium Pacific Giant is open pollinated in the field. The plants always look like Pacific Giants. So at what point does a plants characteristcs become fixed? I enjoy your explainations and the conversation that you and DaveMichigan are having. Although much of it is a bit over my head. At present I have one seed tray of Hosta Blue Danube thatis open pollinated. All the babies look the same, which I expected, but the seed leaves aren't as blue as their parent plant. They aren't as green as most of my hostas are either. Since they are selfed, am I to expect much in the way of variation in the babies. SAM |
SAM, "But how do you know how many chromosomes a plant has? Is there a list or a database somewhere?" There are probably several chromosome databases. The Google search function is a good way to find how many chromosomes a plant species has. For example, this is a Google Advanced Search for heuchera "chromosome number". That search got over 700 "hits". "There is a heuchera called micranatha Palace Purple that is said to be offered in the trade as both americana and micrantha. Does that mean it is a cross between those two species?" Not necessarily, although I don't know for sure. My guess is that it has a complex hybrid origin, as many ornamentals that are propagated asexually do. Once again, the Google Advanced Search can be a source of information. Notice that this search for heuchera micrantha Palace Purple goes on for many pages, which you can select from under the Gooooooogle navigator at the bottom of the first page. There is a wealth of information available on the Internet, and Google is possibly the best, but not the only, search engine that can find it for you. MM |

The camp began on March 1 and will run through April 6 at the Archaeology House on Trunk Street.
The camp is designed for children ages 6 through 12, but is open to all. Students will learn about the archaeology as a whole, study of other cultures, and get to participate in their own archaeological dig.
Directing the camp are Lee alumna Abbey Thomas and anthropology majors Emma-Leigh Evors and Allie Webb. Multiple volunteers will be assisting with the camp, all who have taken archaeology courses and completed archaeology field school at Lee.
"These camps are a chance for students and graduates of the anthropology to share their love of the discipline," said Thomas. "Through these camps, we hope to give young students an understanding of how archaeologists piece together the story of the past."
The camp is taking place in two sessions. The first session will end on March 16 and the second session will take place March 22 and 23 and April 5 and6.
Registration for the second session is open now. The fee is $25 for the camp, which includes all four day sessions.
For more information or to register for the archaeology camp, please email Thomas at firstname.lastname@example.com or call at 650-0234.

Hmm.. website down for me too. This is what I found online: By Staff -- Gifts & Decorative Accessories,12/23/2008 THT Designs Inc. sold its 300,000 square-foot building and adjoining land to Yahoo! Inc. in September. After that sale, THT founder and CEO Pamela K. Watanabe-Gerdes said she would explore selling THT's assets by year end. "I am very excited to transition THT Designs to the buyer I have chosen because she understands and embraces our business culture and will carry on the legacy that this company was founded on," Watanabe-Gerdes said in a statement. Quinn said that the transition will be seamless to the customer (except for a new address), and that the same quality products and service will continue to be offered. The new ownership will keep the operation in the Omaha, NE area. Synergy4 will operate THT Designs from a new location at 11005 E Circle, Omaha starting in January 2009. If you read the online article at the link - their are people posting that they cannot contact THT - shoot! Doesn't sound good. Maybe it will open as something new. I remember going to the THT "Store" many moons ago. They had a little retail shop hooked onto their warehouse. Lots of bargains. Maybe Pattico knows more - she is from the Omaha/CB area. |

Hi, received their catalog about 2 weeks ago, and picked out two things to order. Called the 800 number and no one is answering. Maybe they are going through a transition. I will keep trying. |
- Posted by grammahony (My Page) on Mon, Jan 5, 09 at 16:29
I'd say they're going through their transition. I know from that address of 110 and E Circle that they're probably moving into the Oriental Trading building. When I was still working I'd go by that building every day as I worked on 96th and F. So maybe THT and Oriental Trading merged, or OT was bought out by THT. Leslie |
I used to shop there all the time....hated it when they closed. Last year my daughter was telling me about getting to go shopping there...You paid x amount of dollars per box load (I can't remember the amount). She said it was a good size box and they could shove anything they wanted into it. I was hoping to go with her this year. But she didn't go. Sorry I don't know anything about the website. I know I got an email ad from them recently. patti |

hmmm I already thought the OTC and THT were the same company? or atleast subsidiaries of the same parent company??? |
- Posted by grammahony (My Page) on Mon, Jan 5, 09 at 16:53
terri, that could be true. I just know that the building always had Oriental Trading on it. But that was 8 years ago. Leslie |
- Posted by iowagirl2006 (My Page) on Mon, Jan 5, 09 at 17:00
I don't think they are the same company or the same owners. I haven't ordered from THT for a while, but I do see their stuff in gift shops and I buy it there. Boy, I haven't been shopping in Omaha for years! I used to get there on a semi regular basis when the Stockyards were open. We would go down when we sold cattle there. That was always a fun trip! |
- Posted by grammahony (My Page) on Mon, Jan 5, 09 at 18:30
Iowagirl, it HAS been a long time since you've been to Omaha. The stockyards has been gone for many years. I think it closed in the late 60's. You should drive over sometime. Patti and I could meet you for lunch. Leslie |
- Posted by iowagirl2006 (My Page) on Mon, Jan 5, 09 at 18:55
Yea - thanks for the update Patti! Leslie - the Stockyards actually closed in the mid 90's. There wasn't much left by then though. We went through a commission company - can't remember the name of it now though. Buyers would come through and check out the stock, and our commision man would get the bid for us. We didn't have to go to the yards, but it was fun. We would go to the big Exchange building and get our check. There wasn't much in the building anymore at that time, but you could see it was a cool building. I wonder if they left the Exchange building - or dozed it down. |
- Posted by grammahony (My Page) on Mon, Jan 5, 09 at 19:15
I guess I just thought it was closed because I never saw any cattle there anymore. Leslie |
The Exchange building is still there... A friend of my daughters had her wedding reception there...I guess it was really nice. patti |
Iowagirl....One of my best friends married a guy who was a cattle buyer....He made a ton of money...I remember way back in 1968 in the month of Jan he made 21 thousand dollars...that was a lot of money for one month in those days....He even bought cattle for John Wayne. He still does that work now...and his son does it now too. patti |
- Posted by iowagirl2006 (My Page) on Mon, Jan 5, 09 at 20:44
That's a lot of money in "these" days! LOL~ We don't have a "commision man" anymore - but we do have an order buyer who buys our beef. It goes to Greater O most of the time. I know there was a ballroom on the top floor of the Exchange building. We used to go to Johnny's Steakhouse to eat sometimes. That was like taking a step right back into 1970! The barstools in the bar area were saddles. The kids thought it was really cool. Is Johnny's still open? |
Yes, Johnny's is still open and I think they have restored some of the Livestock building into offices. As far as I know, the ballroom is still on the top floor, my DH and I used to square dance there! |

Tender Heart Treasures/THT Designs is still in business. Those of you that assumed we were in a transition are correct, we didn't have phones or a website for awhile but we are back up and running in our new location now. We were bought by THT's CFO and she found this great building for us at 11005 E Circle. We are just north of the OTC building on 108 & I. You need to turn west on E Street and come about halfway down the road. Our outlet store will be opening around 2/20 or so. |

- Posted by iowagirl2006 (My Page) on Tue, Feb 3, 09 at 16:08
Yep - Patti posted the info when she got the email that you were back online! Thanks for the update. Outlet store.....drool..... :) |
missindia....Tender Hearts started out being just Tender Hearts...then they started another branch of shabby chic stuff Called something like a Special Place...but that didn't last long...I was disappointed because I really liked it. Now it's back to just Tender Hearts Treasures They also used to have their store open for the public to shop...then they closed that down and went to catalog sales. I really hated that...we used to shop at their place all the time...It was like a warehouse that you shopped in. And the prices were really cheap. |

Thanks for the response, Pattico! I thought I was losing my mind! I loved that stuff from A Special Place. |

NO absolutely NOT!! But I can tell you I will NEVER deal with them again. I see why form here. They USED to be a good company but that's changed! I just placed an order over $100.00 & they had a cust appreciaion sale. The items I picked were all the same type different style (vegetable yard deco stakes, very nice) each go for $17.95 (tomatoe, peas & carrots) but it states on all threee desings $14.95 if you buy 2 or more. Nothing says you HAVE to buy 2 tomatoes or 2 peas, etc. to get the sale. Since they are all the same price with the same deal I feel I should've gotten the sale price. They absolutely refuse! I will NO LONGER deal with such a company as it is against my grain when customer service is over looked. Had they stated on line this rule I would be OK but I have yet to have anyone there show me where the rule is written.. becasue it isn't there. Foolish company lost my sales & friends of mine sales too!! |

Type 2 Gold Dollars 1854-1856
In the first ten years after the California Gold rush began, some $600 million in gold was discovered in California as its population exploded from a minuscule 25,000 to more than half a million. The great rush wrought an overnight transformation in the future Golden State. Indeed, it was responsible for making California the nation's 31st state: The flood of Forty-Niners that descended on the region in 1849 opened the door to statehood the very next year. While much of America teetered on the brink of civil war, Californians were preoccupied with finding their personal fortune and staking a permanent claim to it.
The gold rush changed the face of United States coinage, as well. The massive amounts of gold emerging from California prompted Congress to authorize three new denominations-a gold dollar, a three-dollar gold piece and a double eagle, or twenty-dollar gold piece-between 1849 and 1854. In large part, these were intended to help convert the mountain of metal into a form more usable by the public. Double eagles, of course, accounted for the bulk of the coins made. Between 1850 and 1854, over eight million were struck.
The gold dollar and double eagle-the smallest and largest regular-issue gold coins in U.S. history-both had their genesis in the coinage act of March 3, 1849. And both were designed by James Barton Longacre, the U.S. Mint's chief sculptor-engraver from 1844 to 1869.
Objections arose almost at once to the dollar's tiny size: At thirteen millimeters in diameter, it was more than one-fourth smaller than today's Roosevelt dime, and critics complained that this made it easy to lose. Mint officials took these protests seriously, and over the next few years, test strikes were made of a number of possible substitutes that were larger in diameter but compensated for this with center holes.
The process took a different turn in 1853, when James Ross Snowden became the new director of the Mint. Snowden agreed that the gold dollar should be larger, but instead of using a hole to keep the weight the same, he advocated making the coin somewhat thinner. He assigned Chief Engraver Longacre to make this modification and, at the same time, to come up with a new design.
Initially, the gold dollar had a head of Liberty much like the one on the double eagle. By 1854, however, when Snowden ordered the changes, Longacre had a new model available: He had just designed the three-dollar gold piece, and he patterned the new gold dollar after that.
Its obverse features a left-facing portrait of a female figure wearing a fancy headdress. The female figure is frequently described as being an "Indian princess," and the coin is commonly known as the "Indian Head" type. Longacre's reverse design shows the date and denomination within a wreath of corn, cotton, wheat and tobacco.
Renowned numismatic scholar Walter Breen argued persuasively that the head Longacre used wasn't that of an Indian at all, but rather a copy of Venus Accroupie, or "Crouching Venus," a Roman marble figure then on display in a Philadelphia museum. Longacre had used this same head on the gold dollar and twenty of 1849; he would use it again on the Indian Head cent and the three-cent nickel, each time with a different headdress.
Being 15% larger in diameter, this Type 2 gold dollar was easier to keep track of-and less likely to get lost-than its predecessor had been. Unfortunately, however, it had a major shortcoming of its own: Longacre had made the relief on the obverse too high, and the overwhelming majority of the coins were less than fully struck as a result. Very few examples exhibit sharp details in the hair, the word DOLLAR and the date-and even the designer's initial L, located on the truncation of the bust, is often barely visible. Branch-mint issues are particularly weak.
Because of the striking difficulties, Longacre had to go back to the drawing board yet again, and the Type 2 dollar lasted only until 1856 before giving way to a Type 3. During its brief existence, barely 1.6 million Type 2 examples were produced, with the Philadelphia issues of 1854 and 1855 accounting for the vast majority. The three southern branch mints all made the coin in 1855, but outputs were extremely small at Dahlonega (D mintmark) and Charlotte (C), where mintages totaled just 1,811 and 9,803, respectively. New Orleans (O) minted 55,000 that year. The new branch in San Francisco (S) was the only mint to make this type in 1856. As on the other gold dollars, the mintmark appears below the wreath.
Philadelphia struck five proofs in 1854 and less than fifteen in 1855. The proofs appear very infrequently, usually only when major collections are sold. An 1854 was in the 1979 Garrett sale, and 1855s were in the 1978 Bareford and 1982 Eliasberg sales. The collection of John Jay Pittman, auctioned in 1997, included both of these fabulous rarities.
Given its relief problems and its small total population, the Type 2 is exceptionally elusive in mint condition. It is rare in Mint State-65, and extremely rare above that level. Key points to check for signs of wear include the hair over the eye and the bow knot at the base of the wreath.
A complete date-and-mint set of Type 2 gold dollars would consist of just six coins. But in view of the great rarity of the 1855-C and particularly the 1855-D, most people collect this as a type coin, acquiring only one high-grade specimen.
Walter Breen estimated that less than 1% of the Type 2 dollar mintage still exists in all grades. The coins wore down so quickly when exposed to circulation that within a few years, much of the total output had been rendered almost illegible. By then, gold dollars-like much of the nation's coinage-had all but stopped circulating anyway, because of widespread hoarding during the Civil War.
California may have been the last major bastion of Type 2 gold dollars in commerce, since U.S. coins in general continued to circulate there throughout the war. If so, that would have been entirely fitting: California, after all, is where the gold came from in the first place.

The owner of the Purple Foot ( the wine making supplies store ) told me awhile back , that red bottles were coming . They're here !!! They're not actually made of red glass -- they're clear, but with a bright , clear, vibrant red coating that is baked on . It's as tough as nails & won't fade. I think they're awesome. I bought some new .. $1.40 a bottle . Regular used wine bottles are $4.00 for 12. It's a small price to pay for such a pretty bottle.
Look ! ( again , it's cloudy -- in the light , they sparkle ) |

Thank you for reposting the picture. Love the red bottles can't wait to get some. |
Do you think this is it? Looks the same. Just wonder if the price is per a box of 12 or per bottlehttp://www.shorecontainer.com/750mlredbordeauxflatbottom.aspx |
Red glass is made with Gold. Some colors of glass are widely known. Perhaps the best example of this is "cobalt blue" that is produced by adding cobalt oxice to the glass melt. "vaseline glass" is a fluorescent yellow-green glass that contains small amounts of uranium oxide. "Ruby gold" and "cranbery glass" are red glasses produced by the addition of gold. "Selenium ruby" is a red color caused by the addition of selenium oxide and "Egyptian blue" is produced by the addition of copper. |
Thanks, wastit3! If I can't get them from my local wine place (who is on the list of the wholesaler now) I will try there. I just saw the new post by toomuch and will call my local person again sometime today. |

ESPN sportscaster Erin Andrews reportedly lost 10 pounds on her already-thin frame when she competed on "Dancing With The Stars" in 2010. Andrews told Us Weekly, "I'm a little more thin right now than I'd like to be. I would like to put on a couple pounds." The ESPN beauty had a surefire way for gaining that weight back: "being sloppy, eating cheeseburgers, having fries and grits in the morning." [US Weekly]

White Night. Toronto's annual dusk til dawn city-wide art crawl. For some people, Nuit Blanche is about experiencing culture and discovering works of wonder. For others, its just an excuse to pull an all-nighter with friends and party on the streets. If you're lucky, you do both. If you're crazy, you do so from the early evening to the early morning. This year, I ventured out on Sat Sept 29 at 7pm and didn't get home until Sun Sept 30 at 7am. Not bad for someone who originally planned to "skip it" this year. I'm glad I didn't. I tried my best to document my 12 hour journey below.

You might learn about "The Most Important Animal in the World" or perhaps get glimpse of "The Ups and Downs of Life as a Roller Coaster Junkie." Or, you could find out more than you never wanted to know about bad office coffee, the philosophy behind the claw game, or "The Art and Science of Beatbox."
That's the way it goes at Ignite Phoenix, a live event where 18 locals take the stage to talk for five minutes on the sometimes offbeat, always divergent topics near and dear to their hearts.
You can get in on it Oct. 26; the next Ignite Phoenix will take place then at Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts.
"The presentations are all exactly five minutes long and have exactly 20 slides, and the slides change every 15 seconds. There's no control by the presenter; they just get up there and have to go with this automatic train," says Brian Carson, who helps organize the events. "After five minutes, they leave the stage and the next one comes on. It goes fast, so be careful because if you blink, it's over."
Presenters, who come from all walks of life, are selected from a field of 80-100 submissions.
"We spend a lot of time going through to find the best 18, finding a mix between serious and recreational, between tech and social. It's surprising how many are just everyday people who are a non-visible expert on some topic, some of whom have never spoken to more than five people at a time," says Carson, a volunteer with Phoenix Innovation Foundation, the non-profit that produces Ignite Phoenix.
Presentations are rated "PG," and organizers do not accept candidates running for office or anyone trying to pitch a product or sell something.
"We're only looking for people who are truly passionate about their topic, because the whole idea is 'How can we connect passionate people in Phoenix?'" says Carson.
October's event will open with a cash bar in the theater lobby. At intermission, food trucks will sell snacks and drinks. Afterward, the sharing of ideas continues.
"When everything's said and done, we go back out to the lawn and have a couple bands and food trucks, and we put each of the 18 presenters at a high-boy table, so if you want to hear more about paragliding or slicing brains or whatever it may be, you can talk with them."
Past presentations have provided a spark for some. One audience member left his job and became a musician after a segment on Taiko drumming. Another, who heard a talk on what it takes to produce a great cup of coffee, wound up opening a coffee shop.
"If I were to distill it down to what seems to resonate most with our audience," he says, "it's the exposure to passionate speakers on things you're not generally thinking about. We live in a YouTube world; you can search YouTube for anything and be entertained for hours, but there's not that connection and energy, that 'wow' that comes from being with other passionate people. It's believing there's something bigger going on in Phoenix in all of these smaller ideas, and it exposes you to things you wouldn't come across in your daily life."
Topics under consideration for the October's Ignite include "56 Days Remaining on that Crazy Mayan Calendar," "Things I Learned from Watching Grey's Anatomy (Seriously!)," "The Death of the Handwritten Note," "Convicts Ain't So Bad" and "The Untapped Potential of the Potato People."
Tickets will go on sale about three weeks before the event at Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts box office. Ignite events always sell out, sometimes in as little as 30 minutes.
Ignite Phoenix has several sister events that occur throughout the year, including a food-themed Ignite Food, the adults-only Ignite After Hours, and high school, tech-themed and Arizona State University versions of Ignite events.
Information on all programming — plus live streaming of Ignite events and videos of past presentations — can be found online at IgnitePhoenix.com.
If you go
What: Ignite Phoenix, an evening of short, informative, often humorous presentations
When: Doors open at 5 p.m., event is 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Friday, Oct. 26
Where: Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts, 7380 E. Second St.
Cost: $15; tickets available via the SCPA box office beginning about three weeks prior to the event

Hot off the grill
Last Updated: 14:26 June 8, 2012
Outdoor kitchens can bring a family together. Left to right are Jaiden Cruger, age 12, Bailee Cruger, age 14, Findley Cruger, age 16, Glenn Cruger and Jennifer Cruger with their much-used outdoor kitchen in Niwot.
It's the ultimate outdoor kitchen, and it's all yours for $20,000 to $30,000.
Jennifer Cruger of Niwot and her family have just finished their first full summer as the proud owners of a kitchen outdoors. Today, they spend a lot of time entertaining in their back yard. But their one-half-acre yard backing up to open space, with an umbrella shading the uncovered deck and 18-year-old Webber grill placed awkwardly near the back door, wasn't a place anybody made a point of visiting two years ago.
They weren't doing much with their "absolutely beautiful back yard," until they had the outdoor kitchen built, Cruger said. For them, the outdoor kitchen brought together the best of indoor and outdoor cooking, extended living space, provided Jennifer Cruger a break from cooking, and has even given the family a new reason to hang out together.
"Now when we sit outside and cook outside, we're separated from the phone and the computer. We have the best family conversations outside, and meals last longer," she said.
High points of the L-shaped kitchen are the red-stained cedar pergola that provides shade, a brick wall holding up the flagstone counter/bar and three stools where people sit to talk to the cook. The grill and the refrigerator are in use much of the year, even in the winter, as are the fire pit and hot tub. One of her favorite parts of the outdoor kitchen is that her husband, Glenn, has become a major meal-maker. It's opened up a whole new world of Father's Day grilling-related gifts, she said. "I still have to be the sous chef, but that's all right," Cruger said.
David Petersen, owner of Outdoor Structure Co. LLC, based in Firestone, completed the work on their kitchen in July 2010. Petersen also developed and designed the outdoor kitchen of Mike DiGiovanni of Brighton.
While DiGiovanni's project was less expensive, ($12,000), he said he loves the way it has transformed his backyard into a more useable space.
"It's been a huge incentive to spend more time outside in the backyard," he said.
His outdoor kitchen features a four-burner grill with one side burner set into brick that matches the brick at the front of the house, and a refrigerator. Positioned on a concrete patio at house level and covered by a pergola set with low-wattage lighting, the outdoor kitchen is the gathering spot for the DiGiovanni family. He and his family use their outdoor kitchen, or some part of it, 10 months out of the year, DiGiovanni said.
"All my friends and family, even if they have seen it before, comment on it again," he said. "Everybody loves the way it looks."
Outdoor kitchens are a great choice for people who love to entertain and to cook outside, said Tom Sunderland, president of Native Edge Associates Inc of Boulder. His company has a long history designing and building outdoor kitchens in Boulder County. Since 2003, they've averaged about one a year.
"It's a social gathering place just like the kitchen, but it's outside," he said. "There's a bar there, and people hang out. Outdoor kitchens really give the barbeque a home. It's a place where the grill lives," he said.
An outdoor kitchen with all the bells and whistles would have stainless-steel appliances, side burners, storage space and masonry, he said. A complete outdoor kitchen includes grill, refrigerator, sink, storage and countertop island.
Sunderland warns against tile counters in Colorado, as cold winters and hot summers will play havoc with grout. Deck placement of an outdoor kitchen makes counters particularly vulnerable to expansion and contraction. On a concrete patio, it's not as big of an issue, but because of the vagaries of climate, counters should be as close to one piece as possible. Native Edge Associates uses polished sandstone with 3-inch-thick countertops to provide a rustic-feeling environment. His website promotes outdoor kitchens as a better way to get a return on your investment than indoor kitchen and bathroom remodels.

The Florrick/Agos teams split up responsibilities, and worked to get all their ducks in a row since they were starting a week early. While they tried to confirm the new client list, the team at Lockhart/Gardner tried to make sure their top dogs were staying put. This, of course, consisted of a little embellishing, courtesy of David Lee. He told clients there were issues with Alicia's performance, and it worked. Florrick/Agos lost a huge hedge fund client and the losses continued.
After promising Will her loyalty, Kalinda went to speak to Cary about joining the rebels. (Double agent!) Cary should have recognized her as a sheep in wolf's clothing. She had no intention of leaving Lockhart/Gardner. She learned where the Florrick/Agos office space was located, and David Lee made a phone call to the department of health, which in turn shut down their offices for fumigation. They'd be kept out of their new work space for at least two months. Uh oh. And the hits just keep coming. Kalinda finally told Will that Robyn was with the rebellion. See ya later, Robyn! Alicia's apartment served as the temporary Florrick/Agos headquarters for the duration of the episode. But we all know that can't last.
With the client list up in the air, Florrick/Agos had to make sure that their No. 1 moneymaker, Neil Gross and Chumhum, would make the move with them. Alicia and Cary went to talk with Gross to quell his hesitations about making the move. Unfortunately, a restraining order courtesy of Will, kept Alicia and Cary from meeting with anyone at Chumhum.
So off to court they went. It was Alicia vs. Will, and you're going to have to get used to this dynamic. Because that's where things are headed. And while it's hard to watch these two at odds, it was kind of awesome to see them go head to head. Will & Co. called Beth (Victoria Mack) to testify for them, after Diane changed her mind. Beth was one of the fourth years who originally planned to leave with Alicia and Cary. But after Will offered her a partnership, she decided to stay. Alicia tried to use this testimony to their favor—obviously the promotion came within the last 12 hours. But it didn't matter. The judge decided the restraining order would remain in place, saying that if the clients were intending to leave, the would leave. The status quo would hold.
But Alicia decided that she wouldn't let a little setback get them down, and delivered this awesome call to arms to her now-opposition: "We're coming after you. All your clients. Every single one we worked to make happy, while you swept in at the last minute to take credit. We're taking them. And then you know what you'll have? A very nice suite of offices." Throughout the duration of the series, Alicia has consistently taken the high road. So I kind love this new side of her, and I hope it's a taste of things to come.
UP NEXT: Alicia and Peter, um, reconnect....

The Tennessee Titans have signed defensive tackle Sammie Lee Hill to a three-year deal worth $11.4 million with $4 guaranteed. Hill was drafted by the Detroit Lions in the fourth round of the 2009 NFL Draft. He is the first player to attend Stillman College to be drafted into the NFL.
Sammie Lee Hill has reached a 3-year deal with the #Titans. It's 3 years, $11.4M. $4M guaranteed. Lot of potential here.
— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) March 13, 2013
Talked to a personnel guy about Sammie Lee Hill yesterday. Thought he had the most potential of any DT on the market if he checks his weight
— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) March 13, 2013
Hill appeared in 15 games for the Lions last year, starting three and finished with 9 solo tackles and 3 pass deflections.

How do I get my data on this site?
If you are interested in adding animals that you are tracking to the Wildlife Tracking website just send a message to email@example.com. Please provide your Argos Program Number and project name in the message so that we can set up an account for you in the Satellite Tracking and Analysis Tool (STAT). You will also need to set up a free user account on Seaturtle.org so that you can log in and manage your data.
If you are actively tracking animals or have archived data, you will need to provide any previously collected data, preferably in Argos' DIAG format. Once your STAT account has been set up, you will need to log in to STAT and provide your Argos username and password so that STAT can automatically retrieve your data from Argos. Once you have data in STAT you can set-up projects and configure the appearance of each tracking map. You will have an opportunity to preview all project and tracking pages before making them public.
You are free to use your project maps generated for the Wildlife Tracking website in any way you like, including linking from or copying to other web sites. Products used in reports or publications must acknowledge SEATURTLE.ORG's Satellite Tracking and Analysis Tool, and those used on other websites should include a prominent link back to the Wildlife Tracking website.
Satellite Tracking and Analysis Tool (STAT)
The "Satellite Tracking and Analysis Tool" is the engine that works behind the scenes to make everything go. Each night STAT logs in to the Argos servers and retrieves any new or updated data and inserts them into the database. It then sends a summary of the update to e-mail addresses designated by each program manager and regenerates all of the maps to reflect the new or updated data.
STAT is also where you set up projects to be shared on the satellite tracking website. Simply create a new project, give it a name and description, select each of the tags that should be included in that project, and even upload sponsor and partner logos to be displayed on the project page. You can set-up as many projects as you like. You can then configure each of your tags by entering an animal's name and background information and choose from a number of options that control the appearance of your maps. You can preview all of your pages before making them public, and simply check a box to make a project public when you are ready. You are not required to share your tracks to take advantage of STAT, but it is preferred that at least some of your tracks are made public.
Also under development are a suite of data management and analysis tools. Currently, you are able to review and export your data, including bathymetry data extracted from the GEBCO 1-minute global bathymetry dataset. Additional tools include data filters, summary reports and maps, additional export functions and a direct link to SEATURTLE.ORG's Maptool for on-the-fly mapping of your data.
Wildlife Adoption Program
Once you are sharing tracks on the Wildlife Tracking website those animals become eligible for the "Wildlife Adoption Program". You may designate which animals to make available for adoption. Visitors to the web site are invited to adopt tracked animals. Proceeds from each adoption go to support both your tracking program and Satellite Tracking and Analysis. Contact firstname.lastname@example.com for more details and terms of use.
