Narragansett Bay has encircled Rhode Island's history and culture since the colonial era. RIPR political analyst Scott MacKay kicks off our One Square Mile series on the bay.
Narragansett Bay was ours before we were Rhode Island. In 1524, the Italian explorer Giovanni de Verrazano sailed into the uncharted waters of the bay. He was impressed with what he saw, says Christopher Pastore, a professor at the SUNY at Albany and author of the new book `Between Land and Sea' a history of the bay.
Our good friends at FullChannel cable, available to residents of Barrington, Warren and Bristol, are not only nice enough to put RIPR's audio on channel 799. But also their engineer, Jamie Griffin, has started his own "Engineer's Corner" email newsletter for cable TV folks.
Rhode Islanders looking to get into the marine trades industry can apply for a free training program. Every graduate from the last round of training landed a job.
The Rhode Island Marine Trades Association held its first round of training over the summer, and every graduate found a job within 30 days of graduation. So the trade association is doing it again, offering a free, full-time, five-and-a-half-week course.
With just 37 seats, Persimmon isn't one of the largest restaurants in Bristol, but it's won accolades far and wide for its creative cuisine.
Persimmon is nestled on State Street in downtown Bristol.
We took a visit there as part of our One Square Mile series. The sound of an industrial blower can be heard in the background of Persimmon's kitchen.
A forum featuring Bristol boat builders and industry leaders discussing how the boat building industry is recovering from the bottom dropping out during the financial crisis of 2008. Recorded Thursday, October 10th at the Bristol Elks Lodge.
All this week we've been bringing you stories from Bristol in our series One Square Mile. Today we check in on the Portuguese Gardens in Bristol. This specific style of gardening sheds light not only on specific Portuguese traditions but also on the individuals who choose to practice it. Rhode Island Public Radio's Emma Ruddock visits Ed and Rachel Castro to learn more about the beautiful gardens right in their back yard. Here is an audio postcard.
Providence Business News Editor Mark Murphy joins Rhode Island Public Radio's Dave Fallon for a weekly business segment we're calling "The Bottom Line." Each Friday they look at business news and themes that affect local business and the public.
This week Dave and Mark talk with Jonathan Craig, sales and marketing director of GMT Composites of Bristol. The nearly 30-year-old company develops carbon fiber products for a diverse clientele, including the maritime and robotics industries and medical components.
When to Listen
As part of our One Square Mile: Bristol series we've been visiting area eateries.
Rhode Island Public Radio's John Bender went to Quito's Restaurant, and has this profile of the place that's been serving seafood on Bristol's waterfront since 1954.
Quahoging has long been a major industry in the town of Bristol, situated right on the waterfront. But as the population of local fishermen ages, and market prices plummet, the industry faces some serious threats.
Rhode Island Public Radio's John Bender went out on a boat with a young quahogger to find out more about the town's historic industry.
Throughout his career Bristol native Manuel "Manny" C. Correira has been a sports journalist, columnist, and photographer, in Rhode Island for the East Bay Newspapers and the Providence Journal.
As part of our One Square Mile: Bristol series, he graciously curated some of his best shots of his hometown for use in the series.

President Obama announced a plan Thursday to rate colleges based on affordability.
The president will recognize the team for their 2012 WNBA championship.
Senator Dan Coats (R-Indiana) is one of several Republican lawmakers who have been meeting with the president this past week.
The bill passed almost exclusively along party lines, with only two Democrats crossing the aisle to vote for the pay freeze.
An Indiana University professor says the fallout from Richard Mourdock's comments on rape could reach as far as the presidential race.
Individuals in Clark, Jefferson, Ripley, Scott, Warrick and Washington counties will have access to federal funding to help recover from the devastation.
Rallies across Indiana Tuesday will urge politicians to address the state's infrastructure funding needs as a means to create jobs.
Mourdock says that the U.S. will now see higher government interest rates, but the lowering of the credit rating will not greatly affect Indiana government.
Senator Lugar said the fair tax plan frees up capital for individuals and businesses.
Daniels says Republicans and their eventual nominee need to offer serious proposals to combat a ballooning national debt.

This is a test. The students will each prepare half an onion, half a zucchini and one carrot in ten minutes. As the course progresses, their knife skills increase and the chopping speeds up.
Later, Chef Jason shows them how to bone a chicken. These are Rocky Junior chickens, he says, free-range birds, humanely raised. He trims a wing tip. "Now Rocky and I are dancing," he says.
"You should be hearing something," says Chef James. "Scraping versus the sound of cutting into meat. The food is talking to you." This will evolve into a kind of mantra. A cook should take his or her cue from the food itself -- its smell and look, the sound it makes being simmered or sautéed. "The food is talking to you," he repeats.
Most of the students are sawing at their chickens, but Don works with surgical precision, his hands sure and fast.
The chicken breasts are placed on a sheet pan; the wings and carcasses go on another pan to be roasted for stock.
"We had three students go down yesterday," says Chef Jason in the gravelly, serious voice that tends to slide into a chuckle by the end of a sentence. He mimes a student with a hangdog look hunching forward to hide a cut finger and scuttling toward the sink for a Band-Aid.
Chef James points out the students' lack of economy in movement. He tells them always to call a warning when they're carrying anything hot or heavy. He has two students putting the pan of chicken parts into the oven, one to open and shut the door, the other to shove in the food. "Open. In. Close," he chants.
Chef James can be arbitrary, short-tempered, peremptory, waving his hands, chivvying the group, exclaiming, "Vite, vite, vite."
"Don't ever tell me that," he responds, after a student says a dish will be done in two hours. "Don't ever tell me time." But he's also gentle and reassuring. "There's absolutely nothing to be afraid of here," he says, encouraging someone to attempt a vinaigrette. "If it breaks, I'll show you how to put it back together."
The work is surprisingly physical, and everyone has been working several hours without a break. Of the students, Elizabeth and Don seem most at home with their tasks, taking up less space than the others, indulging in fewer extraneous movements. The kitchen is full of good smells, and Chef Jason is singing "Rocky Raccoon."
By August, Chef Andy has returned from his honeymoon and is working with Chef James. A tall, imposing man with an impressive knowledge of technique, Chef Andy tends to keep himself somewhat in the background, allowing Chef James to do the explaining while he quietly gives individual students advice or corrections. They've been told he's a fanatic about order and cleanliness. Now he stands beside a board that holds a huge, pale, glistening duck liver. Forty dollars' worth of pure foie gras. He demonstrates how to cut it, heating the knife between each cut.
He turns to Don: "Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to get sixteen slices out of this thing." Don accepts. The slices need to be about 3/4 inch thick, so that the outsides will be crisp, the insides tender.
Today the emphasis is on regional French cooking, from Dordogne and Gascony. The complexity of the lunch menu has risen markedly. "We are pushing up the ante," says Chef James, "increasing the number of dishes while the time for preparation and cooking remains the same."
Ethel has been trimming and scoring duck breasts for most of the morning, her movements slow, listless. A week into classes, she began wondering if the course was really for her, if it might be possible to get her money back. After interviewing at the school but before beginning the program, she'd had a dream: "I am sitting on a chair. I have a beautiful ruffled dress, legs crossed, incredibly poised. I see an old boyfriend. He says, 'Pose. I'm going to take your picture. Listen to the song. When a certain word comes up, smile.' In walks Chef James and all these people behind him. My boyfriend says, 'Listen to the song. Listen for the word. Here it comes. The word is confidence.' I smile. Click!"
Today she says, "Since the day I walked into class, I have been fighting with confidence. I work at Dillard's in FlatIron Crossing. Every time I come to work, it's 'Here's Ethel. What do you think, Ethel?' There I have confidence and knowledge."
Ethel is not the only student feeling overwhelmed. Karen, too, is floundering. And Cody, homesick, will go back to Michigan one weekend, planning not to return. Twenty-year-old Tanner has barely spoken to anyone, though a few days into the program he began singing Phish songs to himself while he worked.
Dave, who has wandered in late more than once, will eventually describe how hard it was for everyone to come together as a team: "It takes a while to get to know me."
Now the group sits down to lunch. Several of them have never tasted foie gras. "It's too slimy," says Cody. "It's like partially cooked fish."

Mirjana's spring 2013 campaign

Re: Mirjana's spring 2013 campaign
I wish fabulous things for Mirjana in this draw!
This will also mark the end of my posts/commentary here. Gearing-up to move to Asia, work-wise.
A very happy move.
As documented, I have been a fan of Mirjana since I was a California tennis magazine editor in 1997 and then met her slugging-it-out a decade later (by total chance!) in a total crap-hole in Ft. Walton Beach, FL ... Where she was sad-but-charming, and where she kicked Irina Begu's ass (much to the displeasure of Begu's chain-smoking mama, who bitched at me for cheering for Miki ... and I told her to STUFF it -- I certainly knew tennis etiquette ... Especially in a horror-hole like the club in FWB. Mirjana crushed her in the last two sets and, when congratulated, said very humbly: "Thanks. It's nice because she beat me two weeks ago." All the while, she was scanning the "draw" ... which was a dirty white-board at that godforsaken event.
I will never forget the opinion of a (very pleasant & flashy) Croatian gentleman who came to see her play, with his very kind wife, and who said: "Well, she is nothing. It is useless. Mentally, she is done."
I did not know enough to counter him with a strong opinion at that particular time, but she must have been ranked in the 300s. You could see that her thin fingers were ice-cold, because it was a vicious Florida winter, icy and wicked humid, in that weird panhandle of Florida.
Wow. Was that a$$hole ever wrong about Mirjana. She went on to play upon the greatest stages in her sport again, against all odds, and we see her playing her best this season.
Following Mirjana's results, particularly with such knowledgeable fans, has been a pleasure and I have learned so much. I am perhaps too direct and overbearing and opinionated, but too bad. There are worse things to endure in life than strong opinions. I wish I had been more diplomatic, but I am hoping that many of you are players, and understand the particular interest in competition.
Perhaps I wouldn't have been so full of opinions if I were not a USTA 5.0-rated player, and if I were not a very aggressive player like Mirjana ... although I know how to play the %'es! I certainly may have jabbered-on too much, and I apologize, but at least I am a hungry player (and winner) of the game.
I hope Mirjana experiences the key breakthrough she has been working to achieve: a Slam QF, SF, or a WTA singles title.
I honestly don't know if she will manage that, but I absolutely believe she can do that much.
Kudos to her and to all her great fans when it happens. And for anyone whose nose got out of joint because I posted here ... Get real.

Trussart finds influences, and materials, everywhere. He picked up these coins in Asia. They influenced the design of the top, which influenced the design of the knobs. Voila – a one-of-a-kind guitar.

I have no idea what possesed me to do such a thing. I must have been in a daze when I was running to catch my plane for the honeymoon and thought that freezing my bouquet would hold it off till I got back. Well I soon learned that was the worst thing I could have done. I realize that it is not likely I can save it but I have been experimanting with other flowers to try and figure out a way to save it but I have not been very successful. It is mostly white roses and was hoping to save it. I was thinking I would buy some silica gel and that if I slowly thawed it and maybe drying it in the silica gel would help. Also, I considered possibly thawing it and baking on very low or in the microwave to remove the moisture. I would appreciate any suggestions if anyone can help. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Did you ever see frozen flowers out in the garden? Well you have got the same thing in your freezer! Not to be confused with freeze dried. Silica gel will remove moisture not replace cells and tissues. Best bet is try what you like but keep the Hefty bag close. Sorry--but at least it was AFTER the wedding! Good Luck! Tootles |

Studies have shown that a large population of smokers wants to quit smoking, provided they find any suitable quit smoking aid. To "quit smoking now" has become easy, especially when there are many aids for it easily available on the market.
Quit smoking aidsLife as a smoker is full of health risks. So, many smokers after evaluating the pros and cons of smoking can decide to quit, but don't realise how difficult quitting smoking is. The strong nicotine cravings and withdrawal symptoms won't go away easily.
There are very few people who quit smoking the cold turkey way, and the majority of people who wish to quit need some external help to kick the butt. Some of the useful "quit smoking aids" are Nicotine Replacements Therapies (NRTs) and nicotine free drug like "Zyban" and "Chantix".
Nicotine Replacement Therapies can be in the form of gums, patches, nasal sprays, and lozenges. By using these therapies, small doses of nicotine is injected into the body, thus helping to reduce the cravings and withdrawal symptoms. But these therapies have their own drawbacks, as they provide nicotine to the body. Nicotine is also the main ingredient in a cigarette.
There are some nicotine free drugs such as Zyban and Chantix that are quite helpful in kicking the butt safely and effectively. Zyban helps to reduce the withdrawal symptoms that normally appear after quitting smoking.
Chantix is a popular quit smoking drug that works to reduce the nicotine cravings and withdrawal symptoms. Its ingredients don't contain any trace of nicotine, so the treatment is generally effective and safe.
The main active ingredient in Chantix is Varenicline tartrate. It also contains some inactive ingredient like microcrystalline cellulose, calcium hydrogen phosphate, Croscarmellose sodium, silica colloidal, and Magnesium stearate. People who are allergic to any of these ingredients should not take Chantix treatment for quit smoking.
Although an effective drug that can help you kick the butt, Chantix can also have some undesirable side effects. Some of the common side effects of this quit smoking drug are nausea, constipation, indigestion, flatulence, vomiting, dry mouth, stomach discomfort, headache, dizziness, sleepiness, unusual dreams, fatigue, feeling tired, and changes in taste sensations.
Quit smoking helpIn addition to quit smoking aids, you can get additional help from your friends, family members, colleagues, and so on to kick the butt. You can even get help from your GP. Quit smoking help can also be available at quit smoking support forums or through online sources.
There are many online sources that provide active support for people who wish to give up smoking. You can read quit smoking information, join quit smoking forums, or even participate in online quit smoking programs.

AHMEDABAD: New rules of not allowing prasad at the Camp Hanuman temple has left ardent devotees of Lord Hanuman heart-broken.
"I walk to the Camp Hanuman Temple every Saturday and eat my dinner only after I have had the ladoo offered as prasad. I'm feeling dejected that I won't get the lord's blessing this Saturday," said Malav Patel, a businessman from Manekbaug.
Rajendra Shah, a businessman from Shahibaug, starts his day by offering prayers at the temple at 7 am. He used to drink coconut water, but since it is banned, he drinks from the tap at the temple. "Now, they say ladoos should also not be offered. These types of diktats hurt sentiments," said Shah.
Devotees said that while they agreed and complied with the earlier rule of prohibiting people from taking coconut and other prasad in the temple premises for security reasons, the rule that prasad should not be made and offered to the devotees inside the temple is not just.
"We respect the army, but the defense personnel should also respect the faith of the people. Prasad is my right as a devotee," said Kishansinh Tomar who visits the temple from Naroda. He used to have water of the coconut offered to the lord before having his dinner on Saturday, but this practice was discontinued as the cantonment officials disallowed coconuts in the premises. Tomar is unhappy that prasad of ladoo will also not be allowed to be offered to the lord.
Temple priest Vishnu Prasad said that every Tuesday, after sundarkand path at the temple from 4 pm to 8 pm, devotees used to be offered sweets brought in by people. Now, they are forced to offer sugar balls. "Devotees expect some prasad, an expectation which is not misplaced. There should be some consideration for the sake of lakhs of devotees who make it to the temple," said Prasad.

I was inspired by a post made on the "Season 2 Ideas" thread and I have to say I would so play as Kenny in Season 2... Picture this Kenny somehow manages to use his whiskey strength to fight off the horde of zombies he encountered in episode 5. Eventually Kenny then stumbles upon Lee as a Walker or with a bullet in his head depending on your choice. Enraged by what has happened Kenny's goal is to find Vernon and the Invalid's and to make them pay with a Vengeance...oh and also recover that sweet boat.
Vernon: How did you find us???
Kenny: Ever notice how you come across somebody once in a while you shouldn't have f'ed with? That's me.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

The following is a round-up of the latest reports relating to North
Korea and reaction to developments in the surrounding region, available
to BBC Monitoring as of 6 October 2011
In this edition:
Nuclear issue
Inter-Korean relations
Foreign relations
Internal affairs
Nuclear issue
South Korea's new nuclear envoy leaves for US for talks on North: Lim
Sung-nam, South Korea's new chief envoy to the stalled six-party talks
is visiting the United States amid cautious diplomatic jostling to
revive the multilateral forum. Speaking to South Korea's Yonhap News
Agency before departing for Washington, Lim Sung-nam said that he "will
make efforts to induce North Korea to denuclearize by closely
coordinating with the US". Foreign ministry officials told the agency
that Lim's three-day visit to the US is also aimed at preparing for next
week's summit meeting between South Korean President Lee Myung-bak and
US President Barack Obama. (Yonhap news agency, Seoul, in English 0255
gmt 6 Oct 11)
North Korea calls for resuming six-party talks "without preconditions":
North Korea has offered to start the six-party talks without any
"pre-conditions" and flayed the US for insisting to set conditions,
North Korea's state-run news agency KCNA reported on 3 October. "The US
unilateral insistence on pre-conditions makes it hard to find its
sincerity for the talks. This attitude makes people believe that the
dialogue touted by the US is not a sincere one but a stop-gap measure to
tide over the crisis caused by its domestic political agenda such as
presidential elections as it used to employ in the past, " the agency
said. (KCNA website, Pyongyang, in English 2203 gmt 3 Oct 11)
US-North Korea nuclear talks likely after South president meets Obama -
official: The United States and North Korea are likely to hold their
second round of nuclear disarmament talks later this month, after a
summit meeting between the South Korean and US presidents, Yonhap quoted
a senior government official in Seoul as saying on 2 October. Media
speculation has been rife over the timing of the next meeting between
Washington and Pyongyang, as multilateral efforts are underway to revive
the long-stalled six-party talks on ending the North's nuclear weapons
programs. Since July, South Korea and the US have engaged in a series of
bilateral talks with the North to discuss preconditions for the
resumption of the six-way forum, the agency added. (Yonhap news agency,
Seoul, in English 0500gmt 02 Oct 11)
Inter-Korean relations
South Korea minister says North's food situation not "very serious":
Despite a recent UN report that a third of North Korea's young children
are chronically malnourished, Seoul's point man on North Korea says the
North's food situation does not seem to be serious, Yonhap reported on 6
October. "I don't think (the food situation) is very serious,"
Unification Minister Yu Woo-ik said, without elaborating further or
giving any figures. Yu said South Korea could give aid to North Korea if
Pyongyang demonstrated its commitment to denuclearization, a key
precondition by both Seoul and Washington for the resumption of
long-stalled six-party talks on ending Pyongyang's nuclear programs.
(Yonhap news agency, Seoul, in English 0712 gmt 6 Oct 11)
South Korea drops plan to send aid to North flood victims: South Korea
has dropped a plan to provide emergency relief aid to North Korean flood
victims, citing the absence of a response from the North, Yonhap quoted
an official as saying on 4 October. North Korea asked the South to
provide food, cement and heavy construction equipment. However, South
Korea rejected the request and said it would deliver baby food, biscuits
and instant noodles to the North, the official added. (Yonhap news
agency, Seoul, in English 0251 gmt 4 Oct 11)
South Korea seeks to raise public awareness on potential unification
with North: South Korea is holding a series of seminars and other
meetings for students, business people, religious leaders and civic
officials to raise public awareness about potential unification with the
North, Yonhap reported on 5 October. The campaign, which drew some
37,000 people over the past several months, came as South Korea is
working on a plan on how to finance the potential unification, the
agency added. (Yonhap news agency, Seoul, in English 0745 gmt 5 Oct 11)
Foreign relations
China to deport 35 alleged North Korea defectors - South lawmaker: China
is set to deport 35 alleged North Korean defectors back to their home
country, a South Korean lawmaker said, adding urgency to Seoul's efforts
to block the move, Yonhap reported on 6 October. "The defectors under
arrest in China are expected to be sent back to North Korea," the agency
quoted Park Sun-young of the minor Liberty Forward Party as saying
during a parliamentary audit. In response to the move, South Korean
lawmakers belonging to the parliamentary committee on foreign affairs,
trade and unification adopted a resolution calling for Beijing to
protect the rights of North Korean defectors and halt repatriations to
their homeland against their will. (Yonhap news agency, Seoul, in
English 0239 gmt 6 Oct 11)
North Korea's state-run news agency flays US arms sale to Taiwan: KCNA
has criticized the US for selling arms to Taiwan, saying it will disturb
regional stability. "The US unabated arms sale clearly proves that it
remains unchanged in its policy to chill the peaceful development of the
cross-straits relations in China. The US arms sale to Taiwan is touching
off great protest and rebuff of the Chinese government with the
cross-straits relations now entering the track of peaceful development,"
the agency said. (KCNA website, Pyongyang, in English 0727 gmt 6 Oct 11)
North Korean party paper says US "ringleader" of cyber warfare: North
Korean paper Nodong Sinmun in its 29 September commentary flayed the US
for indulging into cyber warfare. "The imperialists, including the
ringleader United States, have taken issue with other countries under
the name of something called 'national security' and have ceaselessly
perpetrated various criminal acts using computers. In particular, they
consider the Internet space as a new military domain and are attempting
to firmly grasp hegemony there. As a result, countless
information-technology means that should contribute to social and
economic progress and the development of mankind's civilization have
been utilized in 'intelligence warfare', causing friction among
countries," the paper said. (Nodong Sinmun, Pyongyang, in Korean 29 Sep
North Korea flays joint military exercises between South, US: North
Korea has lashed out at the continued joint military exercises of South
Korea and the United States, which it said were pushing inter-Korea
relations to the brink of war, China's state-run agency Xinhua reported
on 2 October. Seoul is stepping up military ties with Washington to
"provoke a war against the DPRK," driving north-south relations to
catastrophe, the agency reported citing a statement from the Secretariat
of the Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of Korea. (Xinhua news
agency, Beijing, in English 1301 gmt 03 Oct 11)
Internal Affairs
North Korea's chief economic planner purged - South paper: Hong
Sok-hyong, the North Korean regime's chief economic planner, has been
purged, South Korean newspaper Choson Ilbo reported on 6 October. "Hong
Sok-hyong's whereabouts are unknown since he was suddenly dismissed from
all posts in June," the paper quoted a South source as saying. Hong was
regarded as a technocrat who would lead the North's economy in the era
of leader Kim Jong-il's son and heir Jong-un, as he was appointed as a
politburo member and economic affairs secretary - two key posts - at a
party congress in September last year. (Choson Ilbo website, Seoul, in
English 6 Oct 11)
North Korea imports mobile phone listening devices from Russia: North
Korea has imported cellular phone listening devices from Russia and
distributed them to teams operating along its northern border, South
Korean newspaper The Daily NK reported on 6 October. "In mid-September,
a provincial the National Security Agency (NSA) team deployed Russian
cellular listening devices and caught seven people for calling South
Korea. They are under investigation at the team's interrogation office
now," the paper quoted a source as saying on 6 October. (The Daily NK
website, Seoul, in English 6 Oct 11)
North Korean heir increases role in domestic issues: Kim Jong-un, the
youngest son of North Korean leader Kim Jong-il has gradually gained a
grip on the country's domestic affairs since this spring, allowing his
father to focus on managing its nuclear and missile programmes and
foreign policy issues, Japan's largest news agency Kyodo quoted North
sources as saying on 2 October. It also appears that a dedicated body
that communicates instructions from Jong-un, 28, to relevant departments
has also been instituted, and this entity could play an enhanced role in
transferring power from the father to the son as well as educating a
next generation of officials who would back the future leader, the
sources added. (Kyodo News Service, Tokyo, in English 0923gmt 02 Oct 11)
South to repair road to inter-Korean industrial complex in North -
paper: South Korean government will repair the road between the city of
Kaesong and the joint Korean Kaesong Industrial Complex, using its own
equipment and personnel, South Korean newspaper Choson Ilbo reported on
3 October "We are in preliminary talks with the North," the paper quoted
a government official as saying. "The road repair will begin soon, since
the North has told us several times that it needs to be fixed," the
official added. (Choson Ilbo website, Seoul, in English 3 Oct 11)

Debian from "boot" magazine demo disc (739 comments)
Anybody remember "boot" magazine? They were kind of a computer power user magazine in the late 90's. One month they ran a feature on alternative operating systems, and included Debian 2.0 on their demo disc.
I managed to get it installed and dual-booting with Win 95, although I never got X working. Played a little Nethack and some light programming but didn't really touch Linux for a couple more years. Later I dual booted Red Hat 7.0 and SuSE 8.0, finally went Windows-free with Mandrake 9.1.
After that it was Fedora, then Gentoo, then Ubuntu - which I'm currently running on my desktop and netbook.
My heartfelt thanks to Linus, Stallman, and all the people who make open source possible and successful.

The C128 and Amiga actually had quite nice keyboards. They had a good feel, although quiet. My current keyboard (Kensington from the early 2000's) is pretty close with regards to that feel.
I did own a Model M keyboard at one point and thought it had a good feel also, but the clicking was a bit annoying. To each their own, eh? In some ways I wish my PC keyboard had the layout of the C128, with " being on Shift-2 instead of next to the Enter key.

As another data point, I have also had trouble with Apple hardware. I purchased a new and slightly overpriced 12" G4 Powerbook in 2005, but soon after the warranty expired the trackpad stopped working.
After taking the machine into the "genius" bar, I was informed that the trackpad would need replacement to the tune of $200. Being an economical sort, I ordered the part through a vendor and replaced it myself. Surprise, it didn't fix the issue. Apparently the trackpad issue was really a problem with the motherboard, and I wasn't about to replace that. In the end, I sold it because a subcompact without a working trackpad was useless to me.
Long story short, I'll stick with cheap, reliable hardware and run Linux on it.

You're not a web developer, obviously. Supporting multiple browsers is nothing like having several makefile targets. To make a bad analogy, it's more like trying to compile a C program so a single binary works in Win16, Win32, MacOS, *nix, and BeOS.

IE8 will have full CSS 2.1 compliance? I'll believe it when I see it.
Instead of simply making assertions it's much more informative to compare CSS support by function, as in the following chart:
CSS contents and browser compatibility
From this it appears that IE8 DOES have improved CSS 2.1 support from previous versions, although it's still lacking in certain areas. The web's problem child has almost caught up to the rest of the class. Sadly, IE8's CSS 3 support is still far behind the curve
Re:Target a standard (214 comments)
HTML rendering is actually pretty consistent among standards compliant browsers (Firefox, Safari, Chrome & Opera). The problem is that the largest browser vendor by marketshare (Microsoft) has a poor history of standards compliance; rather they ignore parts of standards for their own proprietary implementations, which change from version to version.
This has caused Microsoft their current position, where it becomes difficult for new versions of their browser to match the quirks and partial standards compliance of the past versions. It's hard to remove features from a browser when a popular site coded years ago is still using them. In essence, they have painted themselves into a corner.
The problem is not in HTML, the problem is the long term effect of proprietary technology instead of standards compliance. Vendor-owned technologies such as Flash or Silverlight are not the answer, in fact they're characteristic of the problem!

How do I disable these messages?
I'm playing this mod called "Unreal arcade", and whenever the headshot message appears it remains on screen. Same when I handle the mounted machinegun in the Xidia map campaign.
Rather annoying. Where exactly in the ut.ini/settings do I disable these messages? Thanks in advance.

Send me the mod or link me to it and let me look at the code. You might be stuck though.

I've searched for a working link for Unreal Arcade, but all I can find is the old site by boomboy, just as a reference. Unreal arcade is actually a crazy, fast mod which allows for some frantic gameplay. You can remove the damage taken from the rocketlauncher, use the asmd to juggle monsters around, and pitch yourself against a set number of invading monsters. For example: Every thirty seconds 10 manta, skaarj, brutes etc.

LAS VEGAS - The International Consumer Electronics Show is turning out to be a celebration party for Blu-ray, the high-definition format that Sony Corp. backed, and a wake for a rival movie disc technology pushed by Toshiba Corp.
Just two months ago, Sony CEO Howard Stringer said the fight between Blu-ray and Toshiba's HD DVD was at a "stalemate," and expressed a wish to travel back in time to avert it.
The impasse was broken Friday by Warner Bros. Entertainment, the last major studio to put out movies in both formats. It announced it was ditching HD DVD, and from May on, would publish only on Blu-ray and traditional DVD.
The decision puts a strong majority of the major studios, five versus two, in the Blu-ray camp.
Asked Monday at the show if the Warner announcement decides the format war, Stringer said: "I never put up banners that say 'Mission Accomplished.' " But his cheerful delivery belied his words.
By contrast, the main media event scheduled for the show by the North American HD DVD Promotional Group, which includes Intel Corp. and Microsoft Corp., was canceled because of Warner's defection.
"We are currently discussing the potential impact of this announcement with the other HD DVD partner companies and evaluating next steps," the group said in a statement.
The shift in the format struggle isn't a reason to run out and buy Blu-ray players, however: Today's players can't take advantage of the features planned for future Blu-ray discs.
On Monday, Panasonic parent Matsushita Electric Industrial Co. demonstrated prototypes that can handle the new interactive features coming to Blu-ray.

Hello and happy Monday! We had a big weekend over here because we celebrated Matt's 30th with all of our Dallas friends.
I made a big spread of food including both new and old recipes. I made salami chips which were a hit – dipped in spicy hummus, they were amazing!
Of course, after our trip to Turkey, I had to have feta and olives – the best combo ever.
I also tried a new recipe for caribbean shrimp – the marinade was delicious and it would have been even better with fresh shrimp (i used frozen).
And a kale, quinoa, and apricot salad. I think I'm done making healthy salads for parties because no one eats them. This was a good recipe and I've been enjoying the leftovers, but next to party foods, kale just can't compete!
The rest of the food included caprese skewers with pretty summer tomatoes, and the un-pictured, never-fail party foods: Mexican bean dip and pigs-in-a-blanket (I used spicy chicken sausage for these this time and people loved them).
So many friends came to celebrate Matt!
Cake, duh!!
We consumed beverages like 20-year-olds and then headed out to a fun bar for some dancing.
Oh my goodness, it was a blast. Happy birthday one last time, Matt!

Oh my goodness that was the perfect party spread. Thanks for "curating" my next party! I will literally recreate this spread dish by dish! There's something for everyone. *bookmarked*
Thanks for having us! Such a fun time!
Sounds like a wonderful time, and some amazing eats! Loved the "drank like 20 year olds" line…who doesn't know that feeling? Lol. Happy belated Birthday to Matt!
Barbara Younger
Looks fabulous. You sure turned out to be a cook and a hostess!
Those salami chips look amazing — and so easy to make! They just went on my to-make list for the weekend.
That's quite a spread you put on there – well done! I would've been all over the kale salad if I was a guest there, I really appreciate there being healthy choices at parties.
You're looking good too! What's your workout regime these days ?

Ducks' Darron Thomas signs with agent
EUGENE, Ore. -- Oregon quarterback Darron Thomas is skipping his senior season to enter the NFL draft.
Thomas made the announcement, which caught many by surprise, on Saturday night. He follows Oregon running back LaMichael James, who announced last week that he would skip his final year of eligibility.
Miller: Thomas Gets Bad Advice
Darron Thomas really shouldn't be leaving Oregon early to go pro, because it's unlikely he'll even get drafted, writes Ted Miller. Blog
"I am ready to go," Thomas told ESPN's Joe Schad. "I left on a good note with the Rose Bowl. And I am ready to further my life."
Thomas has signed with agent Drew Rosenhaus and will train in Los Angeles.
"I feel like I'm leaving my brothers but I leave them in good hands," Thomas told Schad. "I loved all my times there."
Thomas told Schad he has been told he could be drafted "all over the board" and "hopefully I do get drafted and I can go in there and keep working hard."
The 6-foot-3, 215-pound junior passed for 2,761 yards and a school-record 33 touchdowns this past season, despite missing a game because of an injury. He also ran for three scores. He threw only seven interceptions.
The Ducks finished 12-2 with losses to LSU and USC before beating Wisconsin 45-38 in the Rose Bowl Game presented by VIZIO. The previous season, the Ducks lost only to Auburn in the BCS championship game.
Thomas told Schad he can "offer leadership, [a] winning attitude, hard work and I can make big plays. I saw what Cam Newton did this year. He took his raw talent and made a spark. I can do those things, too."
"I saw what Cam Newton did this year. He took his raw talent and made a spark. I can do those things, too.
" -- Darron Thomas
on what he can offer NFL teams
Thomas said that although coach Chip Kelly says every position is open for competition, and backup Bryan Bennett would have competed for the starting quarterback job, "I felt my position was on lockdown."
Thomas said that throughout last season, Kelly made it known to him privately that he was the starter when healthy.
"I know some fans are sad, but they are in good hands," Thomas told Schad. "I have my degree. I won a lot of games. I'm leaving on a good note. And I'm excited for what's next."
Thomas ended his career 23-3 as a starter.
He had a school-record 66 touchdown passes in 31 games with the Ducks. He ranks sixth on the school's career list with 6,629 yards of total offense and seventh with 5,910 yards passing.
"As in all cases, we educate our players with the information we feel will be beneficial to them throughout the process but ultimately, the decision is left up to the players," Kelly said in school statement Saturday. "I will always support Darron in his decision and want to thank him for everything he has done for this program. He obviously has played a major role in elevating Oregon football to new heights and I wish him well in the future."
Kelly wasn't available for further comment Saturday.
Bennett is expected to lead the Ducks when Oregon opens spring practice on April 3. True freshmen Marcus Mariota and Jake Rodrigues will also compete for the job.
When Thomas injured his left leg in Oregon's victory over Arizona State on Oct. 15, Bennett started the next week at Colorado and threw for 156 yards and two touchdowns.

James, who was a Heisman Trophy finalist in 2010, declared on Jan. 6 that he would leave school early to enter the draft, but that decision had been widely anticipated.
A 5-foot-9, 195-pound All-American, James rushed for a school-record 1,805 yards this season despite missing two games with a dislocated right elbow. He led the nation with an average of 150.4 yards rushing per game.
James is the first Pac-12 player to have three straight 1,500-yard seasons.
On Friday, fellow running back Kenjon Barner said he would stay at Oregon for his senior year.
Barner ran for 939 yards and 11 touchdowns last season, and caught 17 passes for 184 yards and three scores.
On Twitter, Barner defended Thomas for his decision, posting: "Get my off boy DT ur not walking in his shoes so u don't know what his reasoning is for leaving God bless bro do ya thing."
