All of that ended, though, when he injured his knee and was forced to retire from his life of acrobatics. What's a broke and desperate former performer to do? Why, turn to a life of crime, of course.

Since no one else has started this topic, I figure I would. I guess I'm the unofficial starter for this topic. With the warmer weather starting, we should see a lot more activity. |

Very slowly, 2 weeks lost because an electrical inspector didn't show up and then came the next week, but forgot his paperwork! Never a dull moment in building a house. |
After all the site work issues we had, March turned out to be a very good month for us! The weather was perfect and we were able to get framing done, windows and doors in along with the grading disaster worked out.... Driving up to the house....circle drive is just about finished... Rear of house...screened porch is still in progress |

Great progress everyone! We are progressing after a significant stall. Drywall on main floor done; taping and mudding this week. Drywallers back this weekend to do the basement. |
Nadine, who is the manufacturer of your siding? What is the color called? |
New to this site but loving it! We broke ground 5 weeks ago and moving right along so far. Trusses will be delivered Thursday morning and the plan is to have roof sheeted by quitting time Friday. So my fingers are crossed. Everyone's houses are turning out so beautiful. Thank you for sharing! |
Mastic Ovation Vinyl siding Color is English Wedgewood. We had a limited number of colors to choose from and I was a little concerned it would be too grey, but it is truely a nice blend of greyish blue. Our neighbors houses are yellow and beige/taupe and I wanted ours to stand out a bit. I love it. |
gbsim- what kind of windows did you select? I love dark window frames. They look great. Are you planning on trimming them out? |

I've been lurking here for a couple of years and the site has been a HUGE help in researching and making decisions. I've just now joined as our construction is underway and things are really moving right along. We broke ground late January. Framing is finished, most of the electric and plumbing prep is done. The standing seam metal roof started last week and should be finished this week (they are putting the ridge vents and caps on the last few peaks). The mason started laying the brick yesterday. Only setback so far is the washed white sand delivered for the mortar. Two truckloads were dumped. The first one is fine, the second one the truck wasn't washed thoroughly and there are clumps of clay and dirt throughout. Our mason is rejecting the load and having more brought, as we don't want clumps of dirt through the mortar, and the light sand is very important to get the mortar color right. We are using a whitewashed brick and found out how important sand was to mortar in brick color when we were shopping for brick. The wrong color sand totally changed the effect on some of the houses we checked out: with the wrong sand we hated the effect, even though the mortar color and brick were identical to other houses we loved that had used very clean white sand. We ended up doing a field test with the exact sand that was available to use, two different white mortars (Oyster White and Satan, we went with Satan), and a few dozen of our brick (Chattooga Vista from Hanson). I breathed a huge sigh today as I saw the first 1/2 wall up and I think we got it right! If I can figure out posting pictures here, I'll have something to share later this week. |
Thanks lzerarc! I spent a lots of time researching windows and we went with Loewen. We liked the construction plus the interiors will all be stained and the vertical grain fir is lovely. Another thing that swayed us to loewen was that we have 4 sets of 9' high French Doors and one single that lead out to the back. Their doors were very solid! The Tuscan brown color is awesome. They'll be trimmed out with a plain flat hardi trim over the board batten hardi. The trim will match the dark color you see on the posts and rafter tails and will also be the fascia color.. |

Things are starting to happen for us! We are building a post and beam house, so the timber portion is being built off-site and will be delivered in late spring. In March, we demolished some existing buildings and now we are ready to pour the footings. There's not much exciting to see on site yet, but here are some photos of our frame (these are Western Red Cedar logs). |
- Posted by Gone_South (My Page) on Thu, Apr 5, 12 at 16:11
Love those big beams! |
Wow, gorgeous houses everyone! Gbsim I love your house! I looked on your blog but couldn't find your layout. Have you posted it? Would you? I can't wait to see more! |
We are moving right along. Brick and stone will be delivered on Monday. They just blocked up our back porch which will be our screened in porch. So far inside we have rough plumbing. This is a Frank Betz Holly Springs house plan. Back of house: Front of house: |
Thanks Mayberry! No I haven't ever posted a plan of the layout. I didn't ask for any GW opinions on the floorplan .... just didn't think it right to be second guessing the architect online especially during the design phase. And we were pretty set on what we wanted and it all came together nicely. The house is about 4,500 square feet LA with a full walkout basement. The master is up and there are 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, a study and a center hall in the lower level.... plus a storage room and a mechanical room/workshop. We're hoping to be in by August, but it's been pretty slow going. August will be 15 months! |

Exciting stuff going on at our build last week and this week! Flooring last week, and this week. Appliances come tomorrow. Cabinet install this Thursday and Friday. Should start looking like a home soon! I'm going to wait to post pics til the weekend after the cabinets are in. |
We've had some progress and I just updated tons of pics on my little blog below. Please tell me if I'm being too lazy by just posting a link and not also reposting the pics on here :) |

I have settled on my exterior design and created these couple of renderings. We will break ground shortly! |
Beautiful homes - the ones I can see. For some reason the last four post pics don't come through on my monitor. I wonder why I have problems with photobucket and tinypic? |
In the last ten days: Planted trees in the back of the lot Walls will start to go up this week. They're built off-site so it will go very quickly. I anticipate the roof will be on in the next ten days. |
Signed the Contract Last NIGHT!! To begin within 2 weeks!!!! |

Love all the progress pics. It has taken us 2.5 months (seemed like 6) and numerous changes to get ARC approval but we finally got it this week. Many compromises including our preferred standing seam roof which is now limited to accent roofs and entry, horizontal railings that required additional vertical posts and metal clad accents. Still very excited. Next step is to remove a portion of scrub oak around the building envelope and stake the house. We hope to begin those activities next week in order to get the building permit. I want to see dirt moving! Continued good luck to all. |

smpop, your open/closed cell insulation is not to the studs which usually is. They will tell you it is good enough but read what you paid for! |
Peytonroad- our house has 2x6 studs. Does this make a difference with the spray foam insulation? Thanks for the input! |
We finally broke ground!!! Yay!!! This pic is actually from over a week ago. Our builder said we should have the foudation poured by the end of the week. |

cbusmom- Can I ask what brand your cabinets are? We're at that stage right now, and I like the shade of your white cabinets. We're also near cbus. :) |
- Posted by cbusmomof3 (My Page) on Fri, Apr 20, 12 at 14:00
@Mom23Es-Thanks! Our builder uses Scioto Kitchens. The brand is Haas and I think the color is Marshmallow. But honestly, I'm a little confused about the color. Originally, we were going to go with Showplace cabinets because they were the only brand that Scioto Kitchens carries that had a soft white that I liked. Then my KD called me and told me that Haas was running a custom color special and I could custom match them to my trim (SW Creamy) and save some money. I didn't see the need for soft close drawers, which are standard in Showplace and thus increase the cost, so switching to Haas seemed to make sense. Then, when the sample door came back for my approval it had the name "Marshmallow" on it. I kind of freaked out because I thought it would be "SW Creamy". But, now my trim is painted and they are spot on, so no more worries! Not sure that was at all helpful and I apologize for the long winded answer :-) |

Submitted permits to county-- that counts as progress, right? Not very photogenic... |
Nadine- what color paint did you use for your master bedroom? We would like to do a shade of grey and yours looks very nice, would love to compare. Thanks! |
Almost done. driveway
shutters waiting on stain
dining room/study from foyer
entering family room
more of the family room
fireplace and tv cabinet flanking fireplace on the right

In our 18th week! Exterior 95% done, Trim 90% done, Paint done. Electrical and Floors next two weeks, Counters on 5/7 then we hope to close on 5/17! |
Hey aucorley! So far it's been great! A lot of it depends on your builder. Ours was able to push our garage out 2 feet (along with the over garage bonus room) without any modifications through Frank Betz. We also chose to push our front porch out 2 feet which gives us a really nice and spacious front porch! Everyone that comes and walks through (we are dried in), comments on how well laid out it is. Good luck to you and I look forward to seeing lots more pictures. I will post more as we get closer. |
BB19 - I love the style of your house - it looks so warm and inviting with the wood tones and brick. Lovely home! All the new homes are exciting to watch take shape! |
More progress made since last update a couple of weeks ago!! This is our future screened in back porch!!! |
Thanks downsy! We're excited because we only have about a week left. Landscaping should be finished by next Friday. |

bb19~ Love your new home! Would you mind sharing the details for your brick floor? I'm also considering a brick floor for my mud room. What do you think the maintenance will be like? What paint did you pair it with? Thanks! |
Thanks athensmom. Like you, we chose to paint the brick and I'm very happy we did. laurajane02 - The brick floor is reclaimed brick called coffeeville set in a basketweave pattern. I'm hoping the maintenance will be low. Brick floors are somewhat common in Louisiana so I got to talk to several homeowners who have them. The consensus was that they are great but you have to seal them approx once a year otherwise they can chip or crumble at the joints. The work required for sealing depends on what you seal with. If it's a water based sealer then you just roll it on and let it dry. If it's a polyurethane then it's much more involved but you don't have to seal it as often. Our paint choice was difficult but we settled with SW antique white in the "common" areas and used SW believable buff in the hall. The pictures I posted seem to make the rooms have a green tint which is not the case in real life. I like both because they are neutral and don't compete with the wood and brick. |
- Posted by laurajane02 (My Page) on Tue, Apr 24, 12 at 15:15
bb19 ~ Thanks for the info! Brick isn't a common flooring choice in my area but I love the look. I'll probably have to source some brick tiles online. I also hope to be as successful as you with mixing painted trim with wood trim within different rooms of our house. |
laurajane, We used whole brick but you can get antique brick tile. |

Congratulations Nadine33! Everything looks great! I especially love your paint colors and all your dark cabinets. Fingers crossed for you that everything goes smoothly and you close on schedule. Enjoy your new home!! |
laurajane, Correction of the white paint color. It's SW Roman column and not Antique white. Sorry. |
Everyone's homes look fantastic! bb19 - what is your foyer light fixture? I've been looking for something similar but can't find the "right one" |
Andi K, It's from Ballard design and it's the 19 1/2" x 11 1/4" version. |

bb19...... I'm loving so many aspects of your home!!! Could I ask if it is a stock plan or original? We've struggled finding a house plan we love. |
cvtxmama - Cool house! I really like all the stone. Herewegoagain - Thank you. It's a custom home. I spent almost 2 years trying to come up with the best plan for our family. What helped me the most was looking through thousands of plans and studying the book "A Pattern Language". I got a lot of ideas from other plans and Pattern Language explained what patterns makes a home pleasant. A home that has a similar layout to mine but a different facade is Tucker Bayou. I came very close to building that home. |

lindsay221, Thank you. The windows are Hurd with wood on the inside and aluminum on the outside. They do have a strip between the glass. |

Grace - I love your house and Harry is so cute! I have a 9 month old DS so I know how busy things get... I love the colors you've chosen. Any chance you have time to share the names? I'm looking for a similar palette myself. |
Harry is officially the cutest thing on our monthly build thread! I believe he's growing as fast as some of the houses... especially mine as I'm closing in on the one year mark. Yikes! Our builder had told us to expect about 14 months and it appears that he's right or even optimistic. |

Exempt anglers are required to get a FIN number (Fishing License Requirements & FIN Number), unless otherwise noted below.
The following are exemptions or exceptions to the license provisions:
28th Annual Youth Fishing Tournament
As part of its activities for National Fishing and Boating Week, June 1-8, the Delaware Division of Fish and Wildlife will hold its 28th annual Youth Fishing Tournament from 10 a.m. – 1 p.m., Saturday June 7, 2014. The event will take place at Ingrams Pond in Millsboro, Wyoming Pond in Town Park, Wyoming, and at the Lums Pond State Park dog training area.
This fishing event is for youths ages 4 to 15. An adult must accompany youths under age 12 and contestants should bring their own fishing equipment. The tournament is free to the public and prizes will be awarded in three age groups: 4-7; 8-11; and 12-15.
The tournament was established to introduce youth to the sport of fishing and to teach the catch and release approach to conservation. There is no pre-registration nor entrance fee required and the tournament is held rain or shine.
In addition to the youth fishing tournament celebrating National Fishing and Boating Week, the Division has designated June 7 and 8, 2014 as free fishing days when anyone may fish in Delaware's waters without a fishing license.
Delaware's Small Pond Program
The Division has nine small ponds scattered throughout the State which offer shore angling targeted at youth. The ponds range from ½ to 8 acres and contain good populations of largemouth bass and bluegill. Catch and release is the order of the day so barbless hooks are required at most. A brochure listing the pond locations and available facilities is available online (www.fw.delaware.gov), or by calling 302-735-8650.
Regulations in red are new this year.

Elliott Associates has had its fun with Argentina, seizing its warships and suing it around the world and winning just about every important legal battle it has fought with the uniquely recalcitrant debtor over the latter's 2001 default.
The thing is, though, Elliott can keep on winning those legal battles and it won't matter a damn, because a uniquely recalcitrant debtor and a great disregarder of the rule of law Argentina may be, but it is also a sovereign country which no U.S. court can force to actually pony up the $1.3 billion it owes to Elliott and other hedge funds, especially if it's actually willing to default again to avoid paying the "vultures."
Well, now, while Elliott may have pushed Argentina to the brink of said re-default—it may not be eight days away from one like some countries whose courts keep interfering in its sovereign business, but it's still seen as the most likely in the world to actually default—it doesn't actually want to see that happen (because it means it will never see one red centavo of that $1.3 billion). So, with chief antagonist President Cristina Kirchner recovering from brain surgery, Elliott thought that now would be a good time to extend its first olive branch.
A hedge fund manager at the center of Argentina's battle over its 2002 debt default told CNBC on Tuesday that a settlement would boost foreign investment in the country.
Jay Newman, senior portfolio manager at Elliott Management, one of the primary hedge funds fighting Argentina's decision to restructure its bond investments, said: "We don't think a default makes any sense."

Shazar you toad. Matt has the option on animal porn. Lame…
One of the most powerful women in the world, she nationalized YPF… beat hedge fund billionaires at their own game… took over her husband's country, derives much of her personal wealth from hotels which are often empty…. has been accused of corruption, fraud, and harassment … and had her brain replaced…. does this scream Bond villain to anyone else?
May have? lol. they stepped in under forced IMF Structural Adjustment Policy privatization of essential services to undermine the entire economic infrastructure and collapse productivity so they could steal the land, water, electricity and essential services and price them out of range, killed local food production by way of forced elimination of trade tariffs and mandatory crops ratios, and then imported staple foods to destroy the local farmers and food production industries.
meanwhile, everything is pegged to the US dollar, pricing even a simple glass of water out of range, and then when new government who didn't agree to slit Argentinas throat for a few bucks shuffled into an offshore bank, they want to complain that it's not fair that Argentina won't honor the debt? all the board members of corporations who made use of IMF saps to destabilize economies should be tried for crimes against humanity.meanwhile, you're trying to make it look like argentina actually has a debt. a contract signed under duress is null and void. period.

Beware of Losing Parking Ticket at OC Inlet Parking Lot
By Don Rush
Summer is in full swing and the Ocean City Inlet Parking Lot is often full of cars.
But resort officials warn motorists not to lose their parking tickets because it could cost them.
Workers at the lot said that's because they have no way of knowing how long someone has been at the lot. So, they said they're forced to charge for a 24 hour period.
That's $60 during the week and $72 on the weekends.
Supervisor Gary Masters told WBOC that the policy is discourage people from parking overnight and then claiming in the morning that they have lost their ticket.

Despite the bizarre you-failed-because-the-Germans-surrendered quirk this is one of the top turn-based strategy titles of the generation. On the down side it isn't something casual gamers will get into easily. Play the trial first.
Turn based gaming on the 360 is rare, but hopefully Allied Assault finds its niche with gamers looking for yet one more way to win World War II.
Panzer General: Allied Assault is a card-based board game set in the WWII, with simple mechanics and deep, enjoyable gameplay. A good choice if you like little, tactical games.
It's not going to win any beauty pageants and customizing your deck should be easier, but there are dozens of hours of solid tactical gameplay to be fought through here.
Panzer General: Allied Assault is not a pretty game to look at. It isn't a sonic masterpiece, either, and the lack of an active community means you have to spend some time with friends or others if you want a multiplayer game to happen. With all of this going against it, one would think that this title is doomed, but the gameplay is more than solid enough for people who love hardcore strategy in any form.
Panzer General: Allied Assault is not for everyone. It will definitely gain a small subset of rabidly devoted XBLA players and rightly so - it's a great tactical turn-based game. But the average gamer will be a long way outside of their comfort zone.
A title that very few people would enjoy. The game's slow speed and historical context will only appeal to strategic and war enthusiasts, rather than the typical average gamer.

"No man's life, liberty, or property is safe while the Congress is in session."
Mark Twain
I lived and worked on the sunset strip in the late 60s early 70s. was a great time to be a Californian. I'll always remember those times. Moved back to Minnesota in 1972. I like to say California is a great place to be "FROM"
I carry to protect myself and my loved ones from the BG's. Not to solve societies problems. That said: if more carried the deterrent would only have a positive overall effect on those problems.
California is heading towards a complete governmental breakdown and revolution. What I love more than anything is the Californians that move to Arizona and are terribly frightening by "all these people with guns!!!" Eventually "scaring the newbies" is going to be a sport for open-carriers. It's always a pleasure to walk around the grocery store early on Saturday mornings during elk and deer season and see the local hunters cruising around the store with rifles slung while the recent transplants stand slack-jawed in the aisles.

Scary stuff. I always knew Kalifornia was more government controlled than most other states, but to actually have a proposal that would allow the government to control your thermostat and appliances is farther than even true communists would have dreamed of going.

SixBravo makes some good points, but as a fellow AZ, I immensely detest the Californian invasion. They sold their homes at a huge profit, bought here at half the price, and immediately demand the same liberal bull that they tried to escape. I do not want to see Arizona become California's back yard!
Being a Californian is really scary! The Central Valley is still decent, but the coast is moving inland to be able to buy property for under $1m, and they bring the disease with them. My apology to Arizona for the California invasion. I will be in Tucson in early February for vacation, but I promise to come back home (until I can move for good!)

Yeah probably should've made that more clear. I love the look on their faces. I hate the transplants who think that Arizona should become "progressive." I'd love to see a carry ban try and be upheld here in N AZ. With cops as sparse as they are up here, you've got to be kidding me. They'd have to quadruple the number of officers on the road with almost every department - especially the Sheriff's Offices.

"It is enough to note, as we have observed, that the American people have considered the handgun to be the quintessential self-defense weapon." - Justice Scalia, SCOTUS - DC v Heller - 26 JUN 2008
And when you add the immense problem of illegal immigration to the west coast invasion, the locals here don't stand a chance! I'm 80 miles south of SixBravo, and can hardly stand living in this environment that I've loved for so long. In the affluent areas, we're having either Kalifornia or Chicago Yuppies shoved down our throats. In the rest of the city, the signs are all in Spanish. Too bad for the best gun-friendly state in the nation. I'm sure it won't take long for the CA and MX crowd to change that.
I agree with the Arizona sentiment, up here in Flag, most of the homes are second homes for Kalifornians. This has pushed the prices so high that a normal working person cannot afford to buy a home. The median price for a home is $385,000 today.
My other complaint is that Kalifornia cars don't have turn signals, or operators that can drive with any sense of courtesy!

Actually California is full of all kinds of people including some very nice people. I lived there for 12 years before returning to my home state, Colorado. There is a lot wrong with California and there were several reasons why I left but lack of nice people was not one of them.

'Byzantium': a less-campy vampire flick
A review of "Byzantium," a vampire movie quite unlike "Twilight," starring Gemma Arterton and Saoirse Ronan.
Seattle Times movie critic
Movie Review
'Byzantium,' with Gemma Arterton, Saoirse Ronan, Sam Riley, Jonny Lee Miller, Daniel Mays, Caleb Landry Jones. Directed by Neil Jordan, from a screenplay by Moira Buffini, based on her play "A Vampire Story." 118 minutes. Rated R for bloody violence, sexual content and language. Varsity.
Nearly 20 years after "Interview with the Vampire," Irish filmmaker Neil Jordan returns to the bloodsucking well with "Byzantium," a moody tale of two female vampires in present-day England. Clara (Gemma Arterton) and Eleanor (Saoirse Ronan) appear to be young women — Clara in her early 20s, Eleanor in her teens — but they're really two centuries old. With Clara supporting the two of them as a prostitute or exotic dancer, they eke out a living but must move from town to town whenever suspicions are raised, leaving strangely punctured bodies in their wake. "I remember everything," says quiet Eleanor, sadly, of their endless lives. "It's a burden."
After the campy, slack-jawed melodrama of "Twilight," it's a pleasure to see a vampire movie that aspires to something artful, and that explores the misery that comes with living — forever — on blood, and in the shadows. Ronan's Eleanor, doomed to be a sensitive teen for eternity, yearns to tell her secret, and frequently does, but people think she's joking. In beautiful calligraphy, she writes her never-ending life story; those who read it think she's creative and disturbed. Ronan, as always, can break your heart with one look; you believe that this child is terribly damaged, and terribly old.
"Byzantium" sometimes gets lost in confusing, lurid flashbacks involving blood-red waterfalls, and Eleanor's sort-of romance with a dying mortal boy (Caleb Landry Jones, looking paler than any vampire) wanders a little too close to "Twilight" territory. But the film finds its strength in the scenes with the two young women, whose particular, fascinating bond becomes clear as the movie progresses. Holed up in a vividly decaying seaside hotel (you can almost smell the mildew), they confront and comfort each other. Immortality, as Clara reminds Eleanor, is unendurable alone.

The 'alsarawmidi' slave driver in JACK 2 does not have this problem.
It postpones the delivery of events based on the audio buffer size.
Back in April, when I requested MIDI latency/jitter test results for
the driver, I saw peak jitter results as low as 60 microseconds.
The 'seq' and 'raw' drivers attached to the ALSA audio driver still
suffer from this problem.

X.Org News ArchivesX.Org 7.5 Release Schedule Revised For JulyX.Org 7.5 with the X Server 1.7 release was planned for release at the start of this month, but sadly they far from made it -- no test releases of the new X Server are even available yet. Though after reading Phoronix, Daniel Stone remembered this release schedule and has decided to give another try at X.Org 7.5. Daniel now hopes the X.Org developers will be ready to deliver X.Org 7.5 with X Server 1.7 on the 15th of July.
26 April 2009 - Can They Make It? - 20 Comments X Server 1.6.1 Released With 15 FixesWhile there is currently little work going on in the way of concerted development efforts towards X.Org 7.5 / X Server 1.7, a point update to X Server 1.6 has been released.
14 April 2009 - Good Job Adam - 10 Comments A Working X Input 2 ImplementationX Input 2, a major rework to the X.Org input extension, is a step closer to reality. Originally it was hoped that X Input 2 would be ready for X Server 1.6, but that didn't end up happening and also resulted in Multi-Pointer X being disabled in this latest X Server release. This morning, however, Peter Hutterer (of MPX fame) has his first working X Input 2 implementation.
21 March 2009 - Congratulations To Peter - 3 Comments xf86-video-ati 6.12.0 Driver With R600/700 SupportThe xf86-video-ati 6.11 driver was released less than a month ago, but coming out today is now the xf86-video-ati 6.12.0 release. What this release brings is most notably EXA and X-Video support for the ATI R600 and R700 generations of graphics processor. The R600/700 GPUs include the Radeon HD 2000, HD 3000, and HD 4000 series. In order to benefit from this R600/700 acceleration, however, an updated kernel DRM is required.
13 March 2009 - New DDX Driver Release - 78 Comments VDPAU + OpenGL 3.0 On Gallium3D This Summer?This is the fourth year that the X.Org project will be participating in Google's Summer of Code project. In the past we have seen work like Generic Gallium3D Video Decoding using a graphics card's shaders to assist in video decoding no matter the hardware vendor. This year there are a few interesting possibilities.
13 March 2009 - X.Org Summer of Code - 9 Comments RandR 1.3 Has Officially Been ReleasedPresent in X Server 1.6 is the server component to RandR 1.3, but today version 1.3 of the Resize and Rotate extension has been officially released. RandR 1.3 introduces panning support and other changes that we have talked about previously. The components released today were randrproto 1.3.0 and libXrandr 1.3.0. There are also some new options within the xrandr utility.
6 March 2009 - Even Better Than RandR 1.2 The Voodoo Linux Graphics Driver Gets UpdatedIn the event you are still using any 3Dfx Voodoo 1 or Voodoo 2 graphics cards, the X.Org Linux driver for them has been updated. No new features have been implemented for these outdated graphics cards, but the xf86-video-voodoo 1.2.1 driver just brings a couple of fixes to ensure the driver still works with the most recent X Server bits. The release announcement for the Voodoo Linux driver update can be found here.
24 February 2009 - Plus Sisusb And Rendition - 3 Comments X Server 1.6 Gets A Bit Closer To ReleaseX Server 1.6 was supposed to be released by the end of 2008 as Intel had called for it to be a strictly time-based release. However, the release schedule ended up putting it as a early January release (the 5th of January to be exact). The release schedule was being closely followed up until late December and then come January there was no X Server 1.6 release in sight. To this date, X Server 1.6 still hasn't been released, but it's slowly getting there.
18 February 2009 - X Server 1.6.0 RC3 Is Out - 14 Comments X@FOSDEM 2009: RandR 1.3, GEM, Gallium3D, EtcAll of the recordings from the X.Org meetings that took place during FOSDEM 2009 are now available on Phoronix. There were nine topics in total from RandR 1.3 to shader compiler optimization strategies.
14 February 2009 - All Recordings Now Available - 15 Comments Bringing Multimedia, Audio Into The X ServerHelge Bahmann talked about bringing multimedia and audio extensions into the X Server this morning at FOSDEM. Helge talked about this topic last year at FOSDEM, but in the past year he has made more progress in this area. No multimedia extensions are yet present in the mainline X Server, but his code is working to varying degrees based upon the situation. This code is also utilizing some existing X functionality already.
8 February 2009 - It's Proposed & Is Working - 9 Comments X.Org Development Talks @ FOSDEM 2009The Free Open-Source Developers' European Meeting is taking place this weekend in Brussels, Belgium. There is a series of dedicated development talks taking place on both days for X.Org on topics ranging from kernel mode-setting to LLVM and Gallium3D to memory management. At Phoronix we will be providing recordings of these talks that will be accessable online. We hoped to have these recordings up in a near real-time manner, but due to the Internet connection at FOSDEM not being ideal this year, that isn't taking place. We hope to have up the video recordings and notes from our talks within a couple days (but hopefully not that long).
7 February 2009 - X.Org Recordings Coming Soon - 1 Comment Synaptics X.Org Driver Reaches Version 1.0.0The xf86-input-synaptics driver, which is used as the touch-input driver for many notebooks, has reached version 1.0.0. Worth noting in this release is improved device auto-scaling and support for input device properties. The improved device auto-scaling should give supported touch-pads a more unified feel without needing to do any manual configurations. Should you need to configure your Synaptics touch-pad, the input device properties support makes it possible without having to enable SHM config.
2 February 2009 - xf86-input-synaptics 1.0.0 XRandR Gets Support For RandR 1.3 FeaturesRandR 1.3 has come together for the X Server 1.6 release with namely new properties and panning support. Besides this update to the Resize and Rotate extension for the X.Org Server, xrandr, the command-line utility for controlling RandR-capable drivers/hardware, has been receiving improvements as well.
1 February 2009 - New Development Release Of XRandR - 4 Comments X Server 1.6.0 RC2 Finally Makes It Out The DoorX Server 1.6 was supposed to be out nearly a month ago, but today we are finally getting closer to nearing this much anticipated release. Intel's Keith Packard has announced the second release candidate for X Server 1.6.0. The RC2 release is arriving almost three weeks after the first release candidate was made available. Fixed in this release is a few RandR and input changes, but a majority of the work deals with Apple's XQuartz in the server.
31 January 2009 - When Will Final Be Out? - 4 Comments What Do You Want In Linux Drivers This Year?NVIDIA has already released quite a few Linux drivers this year already that improve their VDPAU support and stabilize their OpenGL 3.0 implementation. Yesterday AMD had then released its first proprietary Linux driver of 2009 that brought OpenGL 3.0 support. While both sides are off to a good start, what else do you want to see from them and their drivers in 2009?
30 January 2009 - Tell Us Your Thoughts - 75 Comments The State of X Server 1.6: Still MissingFor those that haven't noticed or have forgot, X Server 1.6, which was the update Intel wanted out by the end of 2008, still hasn't been released. The latest schedule for X Server 1.6.0 called for a January 5th release, but that had simply passed by and there wasn't even a release candidate.
27 January 2009 - It's Still Not Out, Yet - 8 Comments X.Org Talks Planned For FOSDEM 2009It's less than a month away until FOSDEM, the annual Linux European meeting for developers, is held in Brussels, Belgium, but the list of X.Org-related talks is beginning to be finalized.
15 January 2009 - It's Coming Soon! X Input 2.0 Protocol Draft SpecificationPeter Hutterer, the mastermind behind Multi-Pointer X, has released the draft specification for the X Input 2.0 protocol.
13 January 2009 - X Input 2.0 Coming With X Server 1.7 - 3 Comments X Server 1.6 Sees 34 New Commits TodayThe outlook turned grim for meeting the X Server 1.6 release schedule when no release candidate was out by Christmas (and we still have yet to see any tagged RC) and then when the final release date passed with no X Server 1.6 in sight. Nothing had been committed to the X Server 1.6 repository since the middle of December, but we are finally seeing some activity this afternoon.
9 January 2009 - Still Not Out Yet Though... No X Server 1.6 Release In SightDuring the last X Developers' Summit that took place at the Edinburgh Zoo, Keith Packard called for X Server 1.6 to be released by the end of 2008. Once the release schedule was set though, the final ship date for X Server 1.6.0 was the 5th of January. Well, today's the day and there is no release.

Dear Editor:
As we are approaching Memorial Day, many things come to mind. First of all, let's remember all those who gave their lives to protect our nation in all the conflicts since the American Revolution where we fought for our freedom. Let us also salute all our brave men and women who are now serving today to protect these freedoms as they serve in Iraq and Afghanistan, in addition to serving in other parts of the world.
Secondly, what comes to mind is the war against terrorism, something which has changed our nation since the attack upon us on 9-11. It is something that must be rooted out, but also we must find the root causes so that it will not take more human lives. I find myself thinking as we approach Memorial Day, what does it mean to me to be an American?
The answer comes to me and becomes crystal clear and that is the pride in being in a country that allows us our personal freedom and the ability to speak our minds. We may not have the best system, but it is still the greatest in the world.
This freedom does not come without a price, it comes with great sacrifice and devotion to duty. Like former President John F. Kennedy said, "Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country." We have a great opportunity to do for others by volunteering our time to various organizations and also our local churches or temples, wherever there is a need.
We should also volunteer our time and money to the political party of our choice, all this I believe will make America stronger. Remember, we are the people our forefathers spoke of, for America is all about us the people and we need to get involved to truly make America better.
Also, go out on Memorial Day and be part of all that is going on that day including attending parades in our communities and cheering our service men and women and all those who serve well in our community, like EMTs, firemen and policemen who protect us and also try to save our lives.
Remember this also—be all you can be by serving your community.

Please Withdraw
Dear Editor:
A vote in the House for the withdrawal of the United States from the 148-member World Trade Organization will be held by early June. Five years ago, Congressman Ron Paul (R-Texas) urged his colleagues to support a similar move to take our nation out of this United Nations affiliated pact. Sad to say, this measure was defeated.
Since 2000, when Congress refused to protect the independence of our nation by withdrawing from the WTO, the Geneva, Switzerland-based group has issued rulings against our nation in matters regarding oil importation, cotton subsidies, steel tariffs, even the purchase of bananas. When the WTO threatened to initiate a boycott against United States products because of our tax laws, our leaders altered the laws. The bottom line objection to the WTO is that it is an attack on our national sovereignty, a steppingstone to world government.
Congressman Peter DeFazio (D-Oregon) lists those who favor remaining in the pact as the "largest multinational corporations in the world, Wall Street, the administration and all the editorial writers in America at all the major papers."
All members of Congress should be urged to vote yes on H.J. Res. 27, the proposal to have the United States withdraw from the WTO.

Dear Editor:
The health care system is getting out of control for retired people, workers and there are a lot of people without health care. I hope our elected officials will read this article and maybe we can get an answer.
Do elected officials get free health care, I would love to get an answer from somebody in Washington, D.C.
If it is true, something should be done. Everybody should do their part. I feel our local papers should find out about this. We depend on you to enlighten us.
Lou Pessa,
Olympic View
Dear Editor:
It is with both a sense of pride and grave concern that we, the Queens Olympic Committee, are taking our issues on the New York City 2012 Olympic bid directly to the IOC in Switzerland.
The pride is in the fact that as New Yorkers we wholeheartedly support our great city's efforts to be host to the 2012 Olympiad. New York offers unparalleled opportunities for staging one of the greatest Olympic Games of all times. We would be honored to host the games and we are sure our city will more than do honor to the spirit and greatness of the Olympic movement. New York City is one of the only "world-class" cities to have never hosted an Olympics. It is time for New York—home of the United Nations and the whole world's "second home" to light the Olympic torch.
The QOC is an organization of citizens located in the Borough of Queens (New York's largest land-area borough with a population of over 2 million residents) and the most ethnically diverse borough of the city of New York and the United States, but with its multitude of nationalities from every place on earth, it is surely the most truly international place on the planet.
Queens played host to the world as the location of New York's two great international expositions—the 1939-40 and the 1964-65 World's Fairs. The site of those two historic events (which combined drew over 100 million visitors including presidents, royalty, popes and artists, industries and cultures from around the globe) also served as the first home of the United Nations (1946-50) and it was there—at Flushing Meadows—where the International Declaration of Human Rights was established. Today, Flushing Meadows is a great 1,258-acre park in the very geographic and population center of New York City. The name Flushing Meadows is probably most recognizable today around the world as the home to the U.S. Open Tennis Championships, one of the world's premier sporting events and New York's most prestigious annual athletic event attracting visitors and television viewers worldwide.
We (QOC) would be honored and proud to provide the spectacular and singularly most compelling and attractive site for the 2012 Olympic Stadium if New York is awarded the 2012 Games. Queens is already the proposed home for the Olympic Village and a number of other venues in New York's innovative and attractive bid. In the center of Flushing Meadows is probably the finest symbol for an Olympics, the huge stainless steel globe called the Unisphere, built for the '64-'65 World's Fair, and today surrounded by a network of shaded walkways and fountains. It serves as a modern-day symbol of welcome to the millions arriving at Queens' two great airports, LaGuardia and JFK International, and the ethnic diversity of Queens and New York.
That is the pride we have and the expectation that the IOC will include New York in the list of finalist candidates for the 2012 Games when you meet on July 6th. We regret, however, that we must now express the part of our grave concern that the organizers of New York's 2012 Olympic bid are making a massive—we'll use the word "Olympian" error—with regard to the single most important and critical component of their proposal, the main Olympic Stadium. They have chosen and are almost blindly pushing a path that will doom New York's chances when the IOC analyzes and decides on the final choice next year. The IOC has wisely made controlling the "cost and complexity" of Olympic bids one of your highest priorities. The current New York bid (mostly innovative and compelling) when it comes to the stadium, however, is so costly, so complex, so unpopular, that it is already beginning to cause such controversy in this city that it makes an event designed to promote world harmony so unpopular in its own host community, as to make the whole Olympics in New York a farce and an international embarrassment.
It is with great regret that we, as New Yorkers, are being forced by the NYC2012 organizers to take this case directly to the IOC. But it is critical for you in your final judgment to do the best thing for the Olympic movement. And as New Yorkers we at the QOC feel it is our obligation to wake up the city's planners to the ultimate folly of their plan for a monstrous stadium on the West Side of Manhattan—a cost-busting urban planning nightmare that not one elected official from its community supports. Every neighborhood and community group opposes it. The community board (the most grass roots level of governmental representation in the city) opposes it. The New York Times, Newsday, the New York Observer and a host of other newspapers throughout the city are against it. The Broadway theater owners oppose it, one of New York's principal tourism industries. In short, New Yorkers are for the Olympics. But they are vigorously opposed to the arrogant, misguided plan for the central stadium.
So we are speaking out to you in the hope that—while you will keep open New York's bid for 2012—that the New York Olympic folly will end before it is too late. We are not opposing the event in the "not in our backyard" syndrome. On the contrary, the QOC is saying yes—we want it in our backyard! We have the perfect site, specifically an 80-acre site at Willets Point in Queens directly adjacent to Flushing Meadows, the U.S. Open and Shea Stadium. An area encircled by a multitude of existing highways, mass transit and waterways. An underutilized piece of valuable New York City property that is just waiting to serve. A site that will save New York's Olympic bid—literally—billions of dollars, countless community protests, opposition and lawsuits. In short, a site that is a proven Host—and Home—to the World.
We are coming back to Europe in July, before your meeting, to present to you a detailed and comprehensive report detailing the fatal flaws of NY's present stadium plan, a detailed expose of the problems of the financing, the vigorous community, civic, governmental and media opposition. But we will also present the other picture. How New York still has time to reverse its present collision course to failure and turn around the 2012 dream of a New York Olympics and go with the plan that will win our city the gold.
We look forward to presenting our report to you and the press in Europe, the U.S. and the international media and appreciate your consideration of it. We also congratulate you on your efforts to reform and improve the Olympics—a goal we hope New York will eventually prove to be a leader and partner to you.
David Oats, chairman Queens Olympic Committee,
Forest Hills
(Editor's note: This letter was sent to the International Olympic Committee in Switzerland and hand-delivered by Greg Godfrey of Forest Hills.)

Sample Report
Sir John Soane (1753-1837) is one of architecture's great originals. Soane, like most of his contemporaries, could be labeled a neoclassicist, but that is as misleading as locking in Antonio Gaudí with Art Nouveau or Francesco Borromini with the Baroque. In such cases, personal idiosyncrasies far outweigh any attempt at categorization.
Neoclassicism aimed to revive the "noble simplicity and tranquil greatness" that art historian Johann Winckelmann considered the outstanding qualities of classical design. Using that basic vocabulary, Soane produced buildings and interiors that were neither simple nor tranquil. Instead, his designs are highly complex, picturesque and fascinatingly ingenious, particularly in their filtering of daylight through oculi and around domed shells. Philip Johnson, who was one of the first of the present-day Soane enthusiasts and who admits in a catalogue essay to having "copied Soane's Breakfast Room twice, " has called him a "ceiling architect."
Soane's masterwork was the series of complex interior spaces, all now destroyed, for London's Bank of England, a project that occupied Soane almost 50 years, from age 35 to his death. But surviving interiors on a smaller scale can be seen in Soane's own house at Lincoln's Inn Fields, bequeathed to Great Britain and now open to the public as the Sir John Soane Museum. Here are some of the architect's most eccentric effects like tricky uses of mirrors and art displays that rotate like the leaves of a book.
Also on view is his impressive collections of antique fragments (including a pilaster capital from the Roman Pantheon and an Egyptian sarcophagus) and of drawings and paintings (his own architectural drawings as well as works by everyone from Joseph Michael Gandy and Christopher Wren to Sir Joshua Reynolds and Canaletto). Important, too, were his designs for the Dulwich College Picture Gallery, for two country houses, Tyringham Hall in Buckinghamshire and Pitshanger Manor in Middlesex and for the Law Courts at Westminster.
The present exhibition, designed by Piers Gough, is a multimedia extravaganza. It presents Soane's work through his own drawings, through dozens of architectural models in cork and wood, through a film by Murray Grigor, through a computerized walk through the Bank of England and through a reconstruction -- at seven-tenths full scale -- of one of the bank's domed interiors. After London, the show travels to the Centro Palladio in Vicenza, where it opens in March 2000, and then in July 2000 to the Musée des Monuments Français in Paris' Palais de Chaillot.
The exhibition is supplemented by a catalogue, and the architect's new popularity is also served by two new books: Ptolemy Dean's Sir John Soane and the Country Estate (Ashgate) and Gillian Darley's John Soane, An Accidental Romantic (Yale University Press).

In an effort to better meet the needs of investigators, COMIRB will be reorganizing their administrative teams.
Up until now, minimal risk studies that were reviewed by a single IRB panel member (expedited studies) were processed by a different administrative team than those studies that presented more than minimal risk to subjects, which required an entire panel of reviewers (full board studies).
Moving forward, all studies assigned to each of COMIRB's 5 review panels will be reviewed by a single administrative team (e.g., all studies assigned to COMIRB Panel C will be processed by a single administrative team, regardless of whether they require an expedited or full board review). Exempt and non-human subject submissions will continue to be divided and processed by a separate team.
Investigators may notice some differences; for example, protocols may be assigned to a panel with which investigators do not usually work. Please pay particular attention to your feedback and approval letters to ensure that you are contacting the correct team that is reviewing your study. Contact information for all of COMIRB's teams will soon be posted on their website.
As part of this reorganization, COMIRB is also creating a dedicated investigator support team to assist investigators with the COMIRB submission process.
Though COMIRB feels that this will be a difficult transition within their office, they are confident that these changes will ultimately improve their ability to serve you. COMIRB greatly appreciates your patience as they make this transition, and will work hard to minimize any disruptions.
Please feel free to contact COMIRB with any questions at 303.724.1055, or firstname.lastname@example.com.
The OnCore project team is currently in the process of performing various tests in an effort to streamline and centralize the system's functionality:
The first round of testing customized, drop-down menu "pick lists" and underlying tables was completed on April 25. The second round of testing is scheduled to start on May 14.
Testing is also in progress for the EPIC demographics interface integration.
Biospecimen Module (BSM) training is scheduled to take place on May 20 at the Anschutz Medical Campus. If you have specific questions about the module, please contact Meg Rebull (firstname.lastname@example.com) no later than May 16.
The following groups have volunteered to test run some of their studies in OnCore once it has been implemented: Orthopedics, Renal Medicine and Hypertension, Ophthalmology, and the Cancer Center GU group.
End-user training materials are currently being developed.
Additional information is now available online! Visit www.ucdenver.edu/research, select "Human Subject Research," and click on the OnCore logo.
If you have any questions, you can reach a member of the OnCore support team by emailing them at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Should new Fellows (MC14) recieve the same benefits as those at milestone implimentation?
This petition to the ST chain asks them to reconsider the definition of the MC 14 milestone as it appears in the Camarilla Addendum. As it stands, members who were MC 14 at implementation of the new milestone system were eligible to receive a 16xp refund for power-stat on their player characters. Something to consider;16 xp is equivalent to an additional 2 month's worth of xp (not subject to monthly caps) or an entire year's worth of overcap xp (not subject to yearly caps) - a fairly significant benefit. Anyone who achieves MC 14 post implementation however does not receive this experience point refund.

Apple releases new iPad TV commercial
Apple has released a new iPad commercial titled "What is iPad?" This ad takes quite a different tone from the first iPad television commercial that premiered during the Oscars. The new commercial is more "in your face" in the way that a gangster is when he lets you know that your eyes were mistaken when they saw that man pushed off the ledge -- "He tripped." The gruff narrator starts out by asking "What is iPad?" He then proceeds to answer his own question. "iPad is thin. iPad is beautiful," he tells you. The ad goes on to show the iPad in a variety of locations (including on a moped).
The imagery and composition of the shots does make this one of Apple's coolest ads in a long time. It's a welcome departure from the dotty iPhone ads that have been starting to get on my nerves.
The ad ends with the narrator saying, "It's already a revolution. And it's only just begun." The confidence and mob-like authority of his voice leads me to believe that I wouldn't argue over anything he said about the iPad for fear of getting shanked in some alley. This guy wants you to buy an iPad, and you'd better -- or else. Me? I'm going out right now to buy two more, just in case.

Good family fun.
Bad Points
I went to the first showing and there were some problems with the sound and wigs falling off
General Comments
A nice run up to Christmas. The show is suitable for all ages, (I took my 82 yr old mum) but it is a long show and some children do become a bit restless. Good costumes, good sing along,
Peter Pan at the Manchester Opera house is an excellent pantomine.

Yesterday, at the farmer's market, I encountered a man starring at me all googly-eyed and weird, who then sidled up next to me and said, all breathily, "Excuse me, what's your name?" My instinct was to say "My name is Fuck Off And Die You Fucking Prick," but I was so caught off-guard by a guy looking at me all googly-eyed and weird and asking me for my name in a breathy voice when I didn't know him at the god damned farmer's market that I just stammered, "Uh, Rebecca?"
"Rebecca," he said breathily, again, his eyes boring into mine. "Nice to meet you." I walked off and he sort of half-whispered, "Have a nice day."
Why did that guy need my name? Keep reading »
