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.

USG knows a NFZ would be pointless at this point, and seems to have had an
'oh shit' moment at the thought that Gadhafi is on the verge of retaking
Benghazi. I suspect that they simply didn't think it would be possible for
him to come back the way he's done, and this quickly, and that that was
part of their lazy attitude about pushing for a NFZ (tactical
considerations aside).
Now, they see that they may end up catching a lot of shit for "allowing"
an impending bloodbath. Hotel Libya, starring the Arab Don Cheadle, in
theaters in 2017?
Oh btw this is my favorite:
Among the other measures being proposed by the United States: sending
foreign soldiers to Libya to advise the rebels, or financing them with
some of the $32 billion belonging to the Qaddafi regime, which have been

That is awesome.
Specter of Rebel Rout Helps Shift U.S. Policy on Libya
By MARK LANDLER and DAN BILEFSKY
Published: March 16, 2011
WASHINGTON - The prospect of a deadly siege of the rebel stronghold in
Benghazi, Libya, has produced a striking shift in tone from the Obama
administration, which is now pushing for the United Nations to authorize
aerial bombing of Libyan tanks and heavy artillery to try to halt the
advance of forces loyal to Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi.
They may want to oust Muammar el-Qaddafi, but do they really want American
or NATO military intervention?
The administration, which remains deeply reluctant to be drawn into an
armed conflict in yet another Muslim country, is nevertheless backing a
resolution in the Security Council that would give countries a broad range
of options for aiding the Libyan rebels, including military steps that go
well beyond a no-flight zone.
Administration officials - who have been debating a no-flight zone for
weeks - concluded that such a step now would be "too little, too late" for
rebels who have been pushed back to Benghazi. That suggests more
aggressive measures, which some military analysts have called a no-drive
zone, to prevent Colonel Qaddafi from moving tanks and artillery into
The United States is insisting that any military action would have to be
carried out by an international coalition, including Libya's Arab
The rapid advance of forces loyal to Colonel Qaddafi, combined with rising
calls from the Arab world to prevent a rout of the opposition, has changed
the calculations of the administration, which had clung to a belief that
interfering in a Middle East uprising could provoke an anti-American
"The turning point was really the Arab League statement on Saturday,"
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said Wednesday to reporters
traveling with her in Cairo. "That was an extraordinary statement in which
the Arab League asked for Security Council action against one of its own
Mrs. Clinton said she was hopeful that the Security Council would vote no
later than Thursday. The American ambassador to the United Nations, Susan
E. Rice, is in intensive negotiations over the language of a resolution,
sponsored by Lebanon, another Arab state, and backed by France and
It is unclear how much the administration is willing to put on the line in
Libya, given its deep aversion to being entangled in another war and its
clear calculation that Libya does not constitute as vital a security
interest to the United States as other countries in the region, notably
Egypt or Saudi Arabia. Some administration officials voiced the hope that
the mere threat of military action could prompt Colonel Qaddafi to show
some restraint.
Still, interviews with several administration officials suggested that
events on the ground were forcing its hand. "The regime's military gains
have gotten everyone's attention," said a senior official, speaking on
condition of anonymity.
President Obama is under pressure from both foreign leaders and allies in
Congress to take decisive action. The French president, Nicolas Sarkozy,
sent a letter to the United States and other members of the Security
Council, urging them to vote for the Lebanese resolution authorizing a
no-flight zone, saying that the world had only days, or even hours, to
head off a Qaddafi victory.
On Wednesday, one of Colonel Qaddafi's sons, Seif al-Islam, urged the
rebels to leave the country, saying, "Within 48 hours everything will be
finished. Our forces are almost in Benghazi."
Senator John Kerry, the Massachusetts Democrat who is chairman of the
Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said he regretted that the debate in
Washington over how to respond to Libya had dragged on so long, allowing
Colonel Qaddafi to regain his footing.
"I don't like that we've lost this time," Mr. Kerry said during a speech
in Washington. "It's compacted the choices, diminished the options. And
it's changed the state of play somewhat."
Administration officials contend that a no-flight zone alone would not be
effective, in part because they say it could not be set up before April.
Among the other measures being proposed by the United States: sending
foreign soldiers to Libya to advise the rebels, or financing them with
some of the $32 billion belonging to the Qaddafi regime, which have been
frozen by the Treasury Department. Rebels could use the money to buy
weapons, officials said.
Neither of these steps, however, would come in time to stave off an
assault by Colonel Qaddafi's forces on Benghazi.
"What everybody is focused on is drawing a line, literally in the sand,
around Benghazi, to prevent Qaddafi's forces from capturing the city and
staging a bloodbath," said Tom Malinowski, the Washington director of
Human Rights Watch. "If Qaddafi wins, it could kill the moment in the
entire Middle East."
But more aggressive military options might make it difficult for a
resolution to satisfy Russia and China, two veto-wielding members of the
Security Council, which have both opposed such measures in the past.
Germany, India and other council members have also expressed skepticism
about a no-flight zone.
On Wednesday, Russia pressed for a resolution calling for a cease-fire,
but was rebuffed, said Vitaly Churkin, the Russian ambassador to the
United Nations. He said Security Council members had added elements that
were far-reaching and required serious political consideration.
With the United States already fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan, the
administration is fearful of straining an already overstretched military
and of being seen as engaged in nation building in the region. "The United
States is pretty busy with two wars, and we don't want a third," a senior
official said.
But Britain, France, and Lebanon were adamant that time was running out.
And Libya's deputy to the United Nations, Ibrahim Dabbashi, who last month
broke with the Qaddafi regime, warned that if the international community
did not intervene in the next 10 hours, there was a risk of genocide, as
bands of mercenaries sent by Mr. Qaddafi attacked the rebel-held city of
Privately, some European officials expressed frustration with the Obama
administration, with one saying he believed it was supporting strong
measures in an attempt to draw a veto.
The draft resolution would consist of a no-flight zone coupled with a
beefing up of sanctions against Libya, including adding more names to the
list of Libyan officials who face international travel bans.
Diplomats said a final draft resolution would be worked out Wednesday and
likely put to a vote on Thursday. To pass the Security Council, it would
need to win nine votes and to avoid a veto from any of the five permanent
members: the United States, Britain, France, Russia and China.
Mark Landler reported from Washington and Dan Bilefsky from the United
Nations. Helene Cooper contributed reporting from Washington and Steven
Lee Myers from Cairo.

Russia expressed concern at some of the implications of the
proposals and put forward a counter-resolution.
Government forces say they have taken Ajdabiya and an attack on
Benghazi, 160km (100 miles) away, is imminent.
Rebels say they fear "genocide" without swift UN action.
On Wednesday, the International Committee of the Red Cross withdrew
from Benghazi, citing security concerns but a BBC correspondent says
there is no civilian exodus from the city.
Following the toppling of the long-time leaders of neighbouring
Tunisia and Egypt earlier this year, Libyan protesters started to
demand that Col Muammar Gaddafi step down after 42 years of
autocratic rule.
They quickly seized much of eastern Libya, but in recent days
pro-Gaddafi forces have retaken several towns.
Our correspondent says the deployment of defecting army units to the
front line is a significant development but it is too soon to tell
whether it will prove to be decisive.
The AP news agency reports that pro-Gaddafi forces have surrounded
Ajdabiya on three sides, while charred vehicles, bullet-riddled
pick-up trucks and an overturned tank litter the desert highway
leading to the town's entrance.
'Over in 48 hours'
On Wednesday, the UN Security Council undertook lengthy and
difficult negotiations over a resolution aimed at authorising a
no-fly zone.
US ambassador to the UN Susan Rice said a no-fly zone would bring
only limited help. She hoped for an early vote on a draft.
The US has previously been cool on the effectiveness of such a zone,
but Ms Rice said this was now needed.
"The US view is that we need to be prepared to contemplate steps
that include, but perhaps go beyond, a no-fly zone at this point, as
the situation on the ground has evolved and as a no-fly zone has
inherent limitations in terms of protection of civilians at
immediate risk."
The BBC's Barbara Plett at the UN says the draft resolution contains
controversial language authorising all necessary measures to protect
civilians, which some interpret as permitting strikes against
government ground forces if civilians are under attack.
She says that may have been what Russia's ambassador was referring
to when he angrily declared that some members had introduced
proposals with far-reaching implications.
Russia has strong reservations about military action, as does China,
and instead offered a counter-resolution calling first for a
Western diplomats said it was rejected because it lacked teeth.
Supporters of the draft resolution stressed the urgency of action
and are pushing for a vote on Thursday.
Ms Rice said: "We will continue our negotiations early on Thursday,
fully focused on the urgency and the gravity of the situation on the
ground and it's my hope that we may be in a position to vote a
serious resolution as early as Thursday. We're working very hard
toward that end."
Pro-Gaddafi troops have been moving closer to Benghazi in recent
days, as well as mounting attacks on rebel-held towns in the west,
such as Misrata.
One of Col Gaddafi's sons, Saif al-Islam, has claimed Benghazi will
be recaptured soon even if a no-fly zone is imposed.
"Everything will be over in 48 hours," he told Euronews on
Ibrahim Dabbashi, Libya's ambassador to the UN who has defected from
the Gaddafi regime, warned the situation could escalate quickly.
"In the coming hours we will see a real genocide if the
international community does not act quickly," he said on Wednesday.
On Wednesday evening, state TV warned residents of Benghazi that
they had until midnight (2200 GMT) to abandon rebel locations and
arms storage areas, Reuters reports.
Col Gaddafi told Lebanese TV that he did not expect there to be a
battle in the city, saying the Libyan people had been helping to
oust al-Qaeda elements.
"All the places where they [rebels] are fortified, are now being
sterilised with the help of the people... who say where their
locations are," Reuters quoted him as telling LBC TV.

If you took a bass boat and stripped it to its bare essentials you'd probably end up with the Ultraskiff 360.
The world consumes more than 2 million metric tons of Salmon annually—both farmed and wild. That's a lot of lox. And to get that much fish to market in a timely manner, one can't gut them by hand. That's why there's the Gutmaster8000.
Wild fish stocks around the world are crashing, in part due to over-fishing. Now, I'm not saying the Lafayette fish processing ship is the sole cause of the problem, but the 1,500 tons of fish it freezes and ships a day probably isn't helping the situation.

BEND, Ore. (CNN/Money) - Remember the good old days when private college was "only" $20,000 a year? Tuition and room and board at many private schools will likely be twice that in the coming academic year.
The total cost at George Washington University, Sarah Lawrence College and Tufts University, to name a few, has already broken the $40,000 barrier, according to Thomson Peterson's most recent data.
Here's the upshot: At many of these schools, few students will ever pay that price.
"The published price bears so little relationship to the price you're going to pay," said Sandy Baum, senior policy analyst for the College Board and professor of economics at Skidmore College. "The schools that have the highest prices often have the most financial aid available."
In fact, some schools inflate their prices in order to raise their cache and attract more students.
"Some institutions have used high tuition policies to make themselves look high quality," said Ronald Ehrenberg, director of the Cornell Higher Education Research Institute. Those schools then give back substantial shares of their tuition in the form of merit aid for higher quality students.
For parents and their college-bound students, the key to getting the best deal is knowing what schools dole out what kind of aid.
The total cost for a four-year private school averaged about $26,000 in the 2004/2005 school year, according to the College Board.
The most recent financial aid stats, which are a year behind, suggest that the average student received close to $10,000 in annual grant money from the schools -- bringing the real cost down to about $16,000 a year. Grants represent close to half of all aid, the rest being loans, work programs and education tax benefits.
But schools have different policies regarding how much of their aid money is distributed based on academic merit or financial need.
The average need-based gift award at Trinity College in Connecticut, for example, is a little under $22,000, according to Thomson Peterson's. The average non-need award is more than $23,000. At Georgetown University, the average need-based award is about $18,000 but non-need grants average only $3,000.
To further confuse matters, private schools have their own formulas for calculating financial need. Many hand out need-based aid with "preferential packaging" for the best students.
"Most schools don't have enough grant dollars to meet the full needs of their students, so they have to decided whom to give it to," said Baum. "There is merit component to need-based aid. There also are schools that award merit-based aid but only to students with need."
There's no way to be sure exactly how much a school will actually cost until financial aid packages are sent out in April -- typically just one month before students need to make their choice. But there are ways to get a ballpark estimate of what you'll be expected to pay.
"A lot of these families don't do any homework until their kids are seniors in high school," said Carl Buck vice president of college funding solutions for Thomson Peterson's. "The learning curve of understanding aid needs to start sooner."
Schools award need-based using a calculation known as the expected family contribution (EFC), which is the amount they think a family can pay each year. Buck recommends parents estimate their EFC during their kids' junior year of high school, which they can do for free at Thomson Peterson's and other sites.
Keep in mind that individual schools may have their own formula for determining need and generally give more aid to better students. "You may have two students with the same EFC but the student with the higher grades gets more aid," said Buck.
Stats on how much need and merit aid individual schools give out may give you some idea of what you can expect from a school. Another key measure is the average student and family debt burden.
Much of this information is available on a subscription basis at the "Best College Deals" section of Thomson Peterson's online.
Questions about how much leverage you have are common this time of year, said Buck, who frequently hears from parents who can't understand how financial aid packages can vary so much from one school to the next.
"To a certain degree, yes you can bargain," said Buck, who recommends scheduling an in-person visit with a financial aid director. "The real key is how much value the institution places on the individual applicant."
The best approach: Don't demand more financial aid. Instead ask for an explanation for why school A's package is so different than school B's. Indicate that school A is your student's first choice academically but that school B is the first choice financially.
Depending on how much the school wants your student, it may match a competing school's offer.
"Some schools will bargain freely," said Baum. Others may not be so quick to negotiate.

The problem is the officer that noticed him and didn't take action, not the systems that flagged the person as potential terrorist.

A tractor-trailer was practically unrecognizable after catching fire at Interstate 77's Exit 19 Tuesday after 2 p.m.
Hillsville Fire, Carroll Fire-Rescue, Barren Springs Fire and Laurel Rescue Squad responded to the scene.
Though there was a report of a fuel tank exploding, Hillsville Fire Department's David Young said that was actually a tire.
An attempted traffic stop resulted in a chase through two counties on Sept. 4. According to a report from the Grayson County Sheriff's Office, Deputy Travis Jefferson attempted to stop a gray GMC truck near the county line on Ivanhoe Road near Fries at 11:30 p.m. The vehicle accelerated and attempted to elude Jefferson, who pursued the vehicle traveling north into Carroll County. "The vehicle reached speeds in excess of 70 mph and was driving in a very reckless manner," the police report said.
HILLSVILLE — A 20-year-old Hillsville man has been charged after allegedly resisting arrest while appearing drunk in public on Aug. 31, according to town police. Joshua Edward Stanley was taken into custody after an altercation on North Main Street at about 9:45 p.m., according to a news release from the Hillsville Police Department. Sgt. Alan Gravley approached to arrest Stanley, who appeared to be intoxicated
LAUREL FORK — Firefighters responded to a report of a fire at 8062 Dugspur Road Aug. 26 at about 6:19 a.m.
Laurel Fork Fire Department volunteers found smoke coming out of the eaves of the home, owned by Mark Bolt, according to information from the fire department. Firefighters made entry and knocked down the fire in the living room.
Some of the fire got up into the attic.
HILLSVILLE — In a 12-month period, Twin County E-911 dispatchers received 25,000 calls, which turned into 44,000 dispatches for emergency responders and Galax police, according to Jolena Young.

HILLSVILLE — Investigators have found that an Aug. 17 Interstate 77 accident, which resulted in the death of a 53-year-old Portsmouth motorcyclist, arose from his 2009 Yamaha being in a blind spot. Robert Terrell Hensley had been traveling north near the 2 mile marker in the center lane when a white van driven by Joe Cook moved to the right due to mechanical problems, according to a Virginia State Police report. That caused the motorcycle to strike an International tractor-trailer being operated by a Mario Garcia.

(Survival-Type Minigame) Curse of the Grave: 5v5(Co-op -vs- AI) Enemy team consists of 5 random champions. Games last 10 minutes (victory) or until the Nexus dies (defeat). You start at Level 6 with 5000 gold. Enemy AI gains a stacking damage / damage reduction buff, growing every minute for 10 minutes, maybe 5% per stack. (Difficulty should be quite high for the final 2 minutes). Whenever a player-controlled champion dies, he spawns a Mordekaiser ghost, that has NO duration. The only way to get rid of it is to kill it. You either survive 10 minutes, or a few people start to die and it snowballs into a massive horde of scary-a** champions, and the ghosts of your fallen friends. Minions, turrets, jungle, buffs, etc might need slight tuning / removal.

I'd perhaps like "True Random" mode, where you queue up as a champion (or random), and you just get put with random teammates and random enemies on Summoner's Rift. Then you try to make that team work in game.
Not sure if this is in here but I would like to see a full blown hide n seek on SR with the community accepted rules applied:http://forums.na.leagueoflegends.com...4#post30244574 And disable turrets and minions so that summoners could hide all over the map but make it 5v5 since the map is so much larger than Crystal Scar, im sure a lot of people would like to see an official supported version of hide n seek But you could make it so that only accepted/allowed items are available to buy so that the hiders would have a lower chance to troll and you could apply the one slow item per team by disabling slowing items for teams after one person buys one
Football Mode (For lack of a better name) Objective - To have a set gametime, reduce snowball effect on chance of winning, provide "plays" style gameplay Game map - Howling Abyss Gameplay -
Can we have A game mode that is similar to the Arena mode from Smite,but,using the magma Chamber?

Despite weather being bad (temperature at freezing, gusts of 5-6m/s wind and snow), I couldn't help myself from flying this little thing. I'll have to do it properly some other time because this doesn't really qualify as a great flight.
Snow was 3-5 cm thick and quite compact but still with a bit of a cushioning effect when crashing into it. Here's the video of the first time the plane got airborne:
I did a few more flights after that, some circling the very narrow soccer court I was flying on trying to figure out trim. I had to add two clicks on the aileron, but that was it. What I had to do was decrease rates though, and add some expo. Having done that I did a short nervous flight with a landing that's about as controlled you could get it on this kind of surface, without ski's at least:
I wasn't ever close to full throttle, so there's plenty of power in reserve, it seems to fly rather nicely. It doesn't turn very well on just ailerons and elevon it seems, it likes some rudder input to turn, but I hear that's typical for cubs? All in all, I'm very happy with the end result, except the decals that I'll find some way of redoing. One of the lightning bolts on the side came off in the snow and I managed to bend the landing gear a tiny bit, but other than that (took 1 minute to fix the landing gear), the plane is intact to fly again on a day with better weather in a location where I don't have to be scared of trees and fences all the time. I'm including a sneak preview picture of my next build project. |

Hooray! I am very pleased for you. You have a beautiful Cub! Does that make you the Mama Bear? I have been very interested in your build and the Dumas Zero makes me wonder... I have several of the UM boards in my parts box, purchased for some Stevens Aero kits, including two I've already purchased... a Heath LNB-4 and Fly Baby Biplane.
I'm going to reexamine the Dumas kits. Again, I congratulate you on a beautiful build. May the Cub be a real pleasure for you, in the years ahead. David |

Thanks for all the encouragement and interest in my build!
The Zero will be built using gear from a scrapped UMX Beast (v1) that I bought cheap. I'm not planning of using the motor though as I'm going to stick that into my flying Beast which has a wonky bearing in it's motor. The engine is also kind of heavy for the thrust it generates, the prop mount on it is also not ideal for the tiny Zero. I've just ordered a 6g NTM motor from Hobbyking that I'll use with the rest of the gear. Since it'll be a 2S powered little bird, it'll probably be quite heavy and very fast (compared to 1S brushed gear that seems to be recommended). With an airframe weight of less than 30g I should be getting more than 1:1 thrust to weight ratio using most appropriate propeller options! I haven't decided if I'll cover with tissue or white So-Lite (which I have already at home). I've never covered with tissue so it'd be a good thing to learn. Since I'd have to buy some dope-type stuff in order to cover with tissue, it'd cost me a little extra. Anyway, the Zero will get it's own thread soon enough. |

I did a few more flights today. The first one was relatively alright but affected by wind, landing was a controlled drop into deep snow.
The second one I got caught in wind strong enough to make the plane hower into the headwind at around half throttle, landing was an uncontrolled nosedive into the snow trying to avoid being blown into the close by trees. The third flight was still a bit windy, this time I flew from a little ice-rink that was temporarily free of kids ice skating, that flight is posted in the video below. The two clicks of aileron I had added in yesterday were actually not needed, It flew neutral when I reset those clicks today. I still haven't really tested any full throttle flying, I'm sure it won't be very scale. There's plenty of get-out-of-trouble-power though which is nice, would be even better if the batteries responded instead of being frozen.. During this flight I realized I may have added too much expo so I'll remove some for the next flights, I may increase the throw on the rudder slightly too. Turning on the ground is slightly hopeless since there's virtually no weight on the tail and the tiny hard plastic tail wheel doesn't grip at all. The wind picked up again in the end so I wanted to come down for landing no matter what, the landing got a bit bumpy and you can hear the spinning propeller smack the ice a bit when the landing gear did it's job and flexed. I'm using a GWS 6030 now, just because it's the only grey prop I have and it looks nice, a smaller one would look more scale and give more clearance. Maybe I'll cut it down and re-balance it. Anyway, here's the video:

Since the voting has started, I thought I'd do a last-minute campaign to increase my chances.
Jokes aside, here's a video of some flying last weekend when it was dead calm. I used up at least 6 batteries and did a few spotless three-point landings on the path through the park. This flight did not end like that. To be honest, I'm not exactly sure what happened, some kind of tip-stall maybe, maybe a slight gust of wind? No damage was done and I flew again directly afterwards. The battery in my phone went flat so I did not get any other flight filmed. The video shows the slow-flight characteristics of the plane reasonably well. The plane is very sensitive to wind, that's for sure. It flies at what I recon is a reasonably scale speed. It'll do loops without much protest if you apply enough power. It can roll, but it puts up a fight when you try it. I did it once (not on video) at height and it took forever for it to tip over on it's back. I'm guessing it's because of the high wing and the low center of gravity, because the ailerons are pretty effective for normal level flight corrections and turns. If you build one and manage to shave 10g off, you'll have a real floater and something that could probably glide a bit as well. Mine is slightly nose heavy (but not enough that I feel I need to add tail weight to fix it) and has a pretty steep glide path when the engine is shut off. Anyway, here's the video, please excuse the glove or whatever it is covering the bottom right corner:

I'll revive my ancient thread hoping that somebody who has the same kit lying un-built reads this and is willing to help. My Cub is fine and gets to fly whenever the weather is calm, it really doesn't like wind that much. Unfortunately the water slide decals haven't really survived that well and they're gradually falling off. I have a roll of black so-lite covering, but it's hard to get the cut outs right without a template. If anybody with the kit could do a scan of the decal sheets, especially the lightning bolts across the fuselage, that would be very much appreciated.

photo credit: daryl_mitchell Much of what it takes to be a great dancer is not learned in the classroom. Instead, these things are learned by living. Just open your eyes to the wealth of knowledge all around you and your dancing will grow. While sitting outside on a cool Fall day recently I realized that trees have a lot in common with great dancers. On first glance this may seem to be a very basic observation, but it's actually very important. Trees withstand challenges based on the nourishment they are able to draw in from their environment. As a dancer, if you fail to attend to your basic physical needs, your ability to perform and learn will be effected. Ignoring those needs by merely surviving off of junk food and sugary beverages endangers your future as a dancer. A tree with a shallow root system is bound to topple over during the first harsh storm. A tree with few roots is also in danger, even if they are deep. In the same way dancers depend on their system of roots. Dance roots can be instructors, training, or experiences. Like a tree, the deeper and more diverse a dancer's roots, the stronger the dancer is. Another powerful root is the amount of love in the dancers heart for the dance. Still another is how much joy the artist is able to communicate to an audience. When you see a dancer who blows you away with their ability, know that they must have deep roots! When you see an outstanding performance by a dancer, it's hard to imagine that they were at one time new and inexperienced in their art form. But it's true, in order to become a legend, you must first be a novice. Even the mighty oak tree starts as a tiny sapling struggling its way up to the light above. That's why it doesn't pay to compare yourself to any other dancers, especially the great ones. For you have no way of knowing how mighty a shadow you will cast when fully grown! While trees may look very similar to one another, no two will ever be exactly the same. Genetic endowment & environmental factors have an incredible impact on the development of the tree. The same factors also impact dancers. If you spend your entire dance life seeking to be like another dancer, at best you will only become a second rate version of them. However, if you embrace your individuality and your point of view you will truly become what you are meant to be… A dancer unlike any other! In the case of trees, it's the light of day that feeds them and helps them continue to grow. In fact, without the light the tree dies. Dancers too are always stretching towards the light of inspiration and creativity; seeking new ways to express who they really are. Just as the tree will never reach the sun, none of us will ever reach perfection. But we keep stretching anyway. It's in a great dancer's nature to do so. |

"The best free karaoke player"
Version: Karafun Player 1.20
* user friendly
* fastCons
none so far
The current version is the 2.1 so go to the site and download it :) I tried a lot of programs, and the solution I found was to use audiograbber to rip the cd+g into mp3+g files and using this great program
"Very good program."
Version: Karafun Player 1.20
Very stable. The most features for a free karaoke player/editor. I have an extensive mp3 Karaoke and cd+g collection and this one works the best for me.
None that I can think of.
All in all, it's about the best you can find.
"works GREAT!!! simple and clean!"
Version: Karafun Player 1.20
wow the interface is much easier than anyother program... way too easy to use. very simple screens.. your player, the screen, and the tempos... that's it! and you can move them all around. I love it!
it does not have a SEARCH option when you try to find your CDG's. I have about 100GIG's of karaoke music. so... it's a pain, however, you can always open the windows explorer from windows xp, 7, or even windows 8!
I love it! simple and straight forward... FREE!
Version: Karafun Player 1.20
Unless you're a zombie, avoid this.
Don't bother with it....
Not free, only the Player part is free.

Most everyone who reads this blog has a good grasp on the importance of literature in translation. You learn about other cultures, their writing styles, what drives them spiritually and politically, what kinds of house pets they may or may not eat or wear occasionally as clothing, how they really feel about things like Speedos or public intoxication (note: OR, not AND), etc.
But let's whittle that down a step or two, make the direction this is going in more specific. What is also important is to realize the specific significance of translating world literature into wider-read languages, in this case English. All arguments about how English being the prime international language of choice aside, translating world literature into English is a way to immediately introduce great works to a much, much broader audience. An audience that may read the English translation, say "OMG MY COUNTRYMEN NEED TO READ THIS," and then go on to bring said work of world literature to their country, which may in turn make the book available to more audience in much the same way. "Audience" applies both to general readers and publishers.
A few days ago we at Open Letter received an email from Hohe Publishing, an Ethiopian publishing house, asking for information on Latvian author Inga Ābele's High Tide: they had read the English translation, enjoyed the book, and now were interested in acquiring rights for an Ethiopian edition. A few days after that, we received an email from the Latvian publisher, Dienas Grāmata, that Hohe Publishing had made an offer, and that they were planning on translating from the English version of the book . . .
This is an example of two very significant purposes for getting world lit translated, and translated into English. Not only does this English language version of the book allow the Latvian press to shop it around to other foreign publishers (much in the same way a translation sample does, except times 500), but it also gives rights-interested foreign presses another source language option from which to translate the book. How many Latvian-to-Amharic translators are there? Probably only one. Somewhere. BUT—how many English-to-Amharic translators are there? Probably more than one.
I don't mean to imply that, in the case of High Tide, the Swedish translation of the novel is without benefits—the Swedish translation would obviously open doors to other Scandinavian countries. But again . . . how many Swedish-to-Amharic translators are there? It's with good reason that we ask foreign publishers for French, German, or Spanish language samples of books in the event an English sample is not available. What English (and these other languages) does is function as kind of an infinite hour-glass shape: it first expands the readership, which then slowly narrows back down and trickles through to "smaller" languages, which in turn opens back up and expands yet again to a new group of readers. And so on and so forth. The course these metaphorical grains of sand take will vary, and though their destinations do as well, there's no real "point of disembarking" because we're talking about the general lifespan of a work, of which the grains are an integral part, and which, in this infinite-hourglass-shape in my brainspace, will take part in a never-ending, forward-moving cycle.
The importance and benefits to getting world literature into translation are countless. For Inga Ābele, it means that her book will be read by yet another audience that would have otherwise remained, most likely, unreached. It seems completely random and it kind of is, because ETHIOPIA, but things like this wouldn't be possible without literary translation (or the awesome publishers that help bring these books to more readers around the world). Translated literature not only opens the door for readers of a respective language, but it also points the way to myriad other doors leading to other languages.

The Colorado Convention Center (CCC), home of the SIA Snow Show, is sustainable by design and in December 2012 became the first convention center in the world to meet the APEX/ASTM Environmentally Sustainable Meeting Standards.
CCC, already LEED EB:OM-and ISO 14001-certified, only needed to redouble tracking and documentation for things like energy usage, waste diversion and procurement to become a certifiably sustainable meeting venue.
SIA uses all recycled carpet for the booth and aisle carpets during the SIA Snow Show.
The performance-based sustainability standards consider a wide range of functions and facilities at the CCC:
Venues * Accommodations * Audio visual and production * Communications and marketing * Destinations * Exhibits * Food and beverage * On-site offices * Transportation
The CCC facility also addresses sustainability with:
"The Show was awesome! Tons of traffic and excitement, which we were really excited about. We'll be back every year moving forward. We've gotten new business from being here, and as a launch year, it's been absolutely great."Tracy Bordwell, Creative and Technical Design, Fate Clothing

Rick Santorum knows better than most how inadvertently unfair press coverage of the primaries can be. Until two weeks before he won the January 3 Iowa caucuses, Santorum had never scored above 10 percent in any of the three dozen prior statewide polls. As a result, the former two-term Pennsylvania senator received about as much 2011 media attention as a presidential candidate running on the Prohibition Party line. I plead guilty to being one of those who airily dismissed Santorum's chances. Writing about an August 2011 podium clash for The New Republic, I snarkily concluded, "Rick Santorum and Herman Cain also debated—and are purportedly running for president."
Make no mistake, Rick Santorum is still running for president for real. And with at least 55 percent of the GOP Convention delegates still up for grabs, the political press corps should remember its obligations to Republican voters who still crave a choice. And what I misguidedly wrote after that debate last August reminds me how often in politics the smug conventional wisdom can be grotesquely wrong.

Arizona State Sun Devils
ASU AD Ray Anderson: 'The love and the passion for Pat Tillman is palpable'
Tuesday marks the 10-year anniversary of Pat Tillman's tragic death in the line of active duty, and yet a decade later the former Arizona State and Arizona Cardinals linebacker's legacy as a football player, soldier and first-class person can still be felt on both a local and national level.
No more so than in Tempe, where the former Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Year starred on the gridiron for four years, captaining the Sun Devils to the program's second Rose Bowl appearance in 1996-97.
ASU athletic director Ray Anderson has only been on the job for a little over two months now, but as he revealed on Arizona Sports 98.7 FM's Dan Bickley Show with Vince Marotta, Tillman's presence is apparent just about anywhere he goes on campus.
"Obviously, the love and the passion for Pat Tillman is palpable," Anderson said. "You see it every place, literally every place in and around Tempe there is a tribute to Pat Tillman.
"To come into an environment as an outsider and see that he is coveted and embraced by everybody as a personal family member who sacrificed for his country and who was a representative of ASU, there's just a lot of pride, a lot of love, a lot of embracing for everything that is number 42."
Since Tillman's death in April 2004, the university has gone to great lengths to pay tribute and honor their former student-athlete.
From retiring his jersey to redesigning Sun Devil Stadium's south tunnel in his honor to renaming its veterans center with his namesake, Tillman remains close in the hearts and minds of all those who bleed maroon and gold.
But in Anderson's eyes, the greatest illustration of Tillman's impact might just be the annual race put on by his foundation, which has been hosted by the city and university every year since 2006.
"This weekend as you know is Pat's Run," said Anderson. "It's 4.2 miles and ends at the 42-yard line in the stadium. Just the details of that shows how important he is to everything in this community and Arizona State.
"I'm really proud to be a part of it and to be able to appreciate it, and frankly enjoy his memory as a real hero for this university."

Big updates coming for Skylanders, Real Racing 3
We've got news of two major updates coming to high profile iOS games recently. First up, Activision's Skylanders: Lost Islands (the iOS town-building title based on the very popular toy/game series) just got a new substantial update, featuring Facebook integration, and lots of new companions to place in your town. There's also a new feature called "#1 fans," which will have players finding little extra creatures to add power to their current Skylanders. If you have a little fan in your house, make sure to update the free app soon.
And second, EA's Real Racing 3 is getting a big update as well, with new tracks, new cars, and an official version of the Dubai Autodrome, a real racing location over in Dubai. That update, just like the game itself, will also be free, and should be out soon. Both of these games are already very popular, and these updates should make them even more so.

Bandwidth Caps May Be Critical Error For Broadband Companies
Re:Don't worry, it'll get "better" (317 comments)
To be completely honest with you I am not sure which bandwidth capping packages will be offered. All I got was a memo from a higher up saying that it was only experimental, and there where not any plans to spread it beyond the testing in Texas. If it does not go over well with customers, then they wont be continuing with it I am sure.
VOD is a different beast altogether. It does not use the high speed data infrastructure at all, they use their own QAM's (MQAM's soon when 'start over' rolls out) which only ties up more frequencies on the coax. Right now with DOCSIS 1.1 we are only using 2 32Mghz bands on the coax for HSD, one for the upstream and one for the downstream. I can only speak for my division here in Bakersfield, but I know that as of 2011 we are planning on dropping our analog signal from the plant altogether, freeing up a lot of frequencies on the cable, making plenty of room for DOCSIS 3.0, which one modem can "talk" to multiple downstream giving more capacity.
We are constantly doing node splits on the fiber transport to lower the number of homes passed, putting the new node on separate upstream/downstream. We also do a lot of moving around of the nodes themselves. Typically we like to keep the modem counts around 400 per downstream, this depends largely on what bandwidth packages are offered in your area and what usage is like. Most of the time a decombine (moving a node to a new downstream) happens when we traffic hits certain thresholds on the downstream. Each upstream we keep at around 100 modems (4 upstream share the downstream port). This seems to support our area pretty well, we are getting ready to change all of our standard package speeds to 10 down 1 up and make the premium speed 15 down and 2 up. So to answer your question, yes most of the congestion issue occur in the last mile access. Bakersfield is handled by 2 OC48's to our LA POP sites, one to L3 and one to B-Bone. Right now it's 7:00 PM and bordering on our peak time. Here is the current traffic across one of our OC48s.
30 second input rate 1080735000 bits/sec, 168436 packets/sec
30 second output rate 340324000 bits/sec, 144683 packets/sec
As you can see we are not even using half of the 2.4Gb/s the link is capable of. The majority of traffic shows as incoming here because it is the last hop before it get routed back to the modems, input is the modems downstream traffic. I just did a check and there are close 60,000 modems online right now. Here is the downstream stats from one of the CMTS with approx 400 modems on the downstream.
5 minute output rate 20707000 bits/sec, 3834 packets/sec
Just over half of the downstreams 37,500 Kb/s. Mind you this is sharing bandwidth with the MTA's for VoIP traffic as well. Though the issue is the last mile access, the nature of 90% of our users traffic (and most peoples for that matter) does not make it that big of a deal. Most peoples downstream traffic happens in bursts and sustained upstream traffic is even farther between.
Being on the front line I can tell you just how busy we really are, keeping everyone happy and surfing along at the best speeds possible. The cost of one 5x20 cable card for a Cisco 10k chassis is around $100,000. That's 5 downstreams and 20 upstreams. I have added 2 of those cards to accomodate growth and releave congestion in the last 3-4 months, and those are just in our 2 fastest growing hubs.
If you're still with me I know that was long and probably riddle with typos, but I hope it sheds a little on the subject.

Well, that certainly was a wake-up call, wasn't it?
Friday's storm that buried most of southern Ontario in more than 30 centimetres of snow was a blunt reminder to area residents of what to do (and not to do) when Old Man Winter decides to flex his muscles.
We haven't seen that kind of snow activity in five years and, by the time the flakes stopped falling late Friday, Halton and other regions were left under a blanket of white stuff that left many with aching backs from shovelling.
However, the storm certainly reinforced the fact that, yes indeed, we live in Canada (despite the mild winters in recent years) and there are certain precautions to take when it comes to a storm of this magnitude.
First, when weather forecasters are suggesting driving in a storm is not a wise choice and police are urging residents not to drive unless absolutely necessary — heed their advice when possible.
Unnecessary vehicular traffic only adds to the problems a storm brings — specifically it makes the job all the more difficult for snow-clearing road crews.
And as for those road crews, here's a tip of the hat to the beleaguered workers we are quick to blame when roads aren't cleared fast enough to our liking.
They did a stellar job last week, for the most part, both in prepping for the onslaught of snow and dealing with it when it came.
Most streets were passable by early Saturday.
As we said, there are little things that can be done during a snowstorm that make a big difference: digging out any fire hydrants near your property, ensuring your outside dryer vent area is clear of snow, helping to shovel out an elderly neighbour's driveway/walkway or ensuring your vehicle isn't in the way of a snowplow.
On the roads, stay at least 50 feet from the rear of a plow so its driver can see you.
For your own sake, it's also important to make sure your vehicle has an emergency kit in the event you do venture out on the road and get stranded in a storm. And make sure your vehicle is ready for winter, a topped up gas tank, a battery that works, windshield wiper fluid filled, and winter tires that can make all the difference.
Be nice and clear the snow from sidewalks and be cautious where and how you walk.
It's also wise to teach children to stay well away from the road when they see snow plows coming or vehicles trying to drive through deep snow.
And remember not to forget your neighbours and how much a helping hand to those who may need some assistance — for a variety of reasons — digging out, will be appreciated.

Gay activist in Nepal campaigns against discrimination
Sunil Pant speaks up for disenfranchised groups in court and petitions the government for new constitutional rights.
Prakash Mathema/NEWSCOM
Katmandu, Nepal
Sunil Pant has built a successful gay rights movement – one that has fought against discrimination and violence in this conservative Southeast Asian country.
"It's absolutely astonishing," said Scott Long, who works on issues of sexuality for Human Rights Watch. "Considering how few resources they have and the depth of prejudice they have to fight against, what they've achieved is extraordinary."
The advances are part of a larger social and political ferment brewing in Nepal, one of the world's poorest countries. After 10 years of a Maoist insurgency, a democratic transition is under way.
There is a clear sense that everything is up for grabs as Nepal reinvents itself, a rare moment when groups of whatever stripe – women, ethnic minorities, members of lower Hindu castes – have a shot at leaving their imprint on the fabric of the state.
"We have a golden opportunity to raise our voice and contribute to this country," Pant said. "This is a struggle I think this generation has to do, about being brave and honest."
For years, they were mute. And even now, Nepalese society remains extremely traditional, bound by deeply inscribed values and rigid hierarchies. Conservative mores reign in this majority Hindu country, where millions of uneducated villagers eke out meager livings in near-feudal conditions.
At the beginning, Pant's organization, the Blue Diamond Society, focused solely on health issues. When an official saw the word "homosexuality" in the group's application, he told Pant he couldn't register unless his goal was to turn gay people straight. Pant removed the reference.

With more than a decade under its belt, Parallels ranks among the most active corporate contributors to the Linux kernel and says that is serves 10 million users in 125 countries. The company today is joining The Linux Foundation and is preparing to speak at the annual Collaboration Summit taking place next week. Chairman and CEO and Serguei Beloussov shares with us why the increasing investment in Linux, what's required to collaborate and the state of virtualization and cloud computing.
Parallels is joining The Linux Foundation today and speaking at the Collaboration Summit next week. Why are you investing in these activities?
To this end, Parallels is focused on enabling service providers that help small businesses purchase, use and consume cloud services by making them easy to acquire, providing full service offerings and enabling profitability.
Beloussov: First, I think it is important to note that the other companies in the top 10 are ten times the size of Parallels – so, proportionally to size, we are a huge contributor to the Linux kernel.
That being said, this level of community collaboration requires a number of things. First and foremost, it requires expertise – not just development and engineering expertise but also expertise in working, developing and successfully contributing as a part of the Open Source development process. It also obviously takes time, money, and most importantly, a commitment to collaborate well with the Linux community. I have committed to at least double our Linux contribution efforts over the next six months because we want Parallels Containers to become fully part of the mainstream Linux kernel sooner; this is important for the community, for cloud partners and works with our business model. It is important for us.
Beloussov: One of our recent advances is porting the OpenVZ patch set to kernel 2.6.32. This is an important step because this kernel will be used in some major distributions including Ubuntu 10.4, Debian 6, and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6. This has been a long-term maintained kernel.
Features recently added into OpenVZ kernel include ext4 support, NFS server in container and bridges. New features we are working on include journaled quota and a new memory management model, in which primary parameters will be memory (RAM) and swap space, while all other resource management parameters will become secondary.
