I have a Panasonic Plasma TV and have cable with a converter box. I want to purchase a DVD recorder VHS combo so I can put some old VHS tapes onto DVD. Is there any advantage to getting one with a tuner? I have found the better deals on the ones with a tuner, but don't know if there is any reason I would want/need one. |

If it doesn't have a HD Tuner, you wouldn't need it ... If it did have an HD Tuner, it would only be useful for "over the air" (antenna) broadcasts ... |
If thats all you want to do then no you wont need a tuner but those units are built to last a long time so for future use a digital tuner would be extremly handy if you want to record tv. Another option is if your video player is still working just buy a dvd recorder and connect your vhs into it to copy vhs tapes. its very simple to do. |

It was a good year for chamber music, orchestras, fusion and harmonies. That's according to two of IPR's music hosts who shared their favorite recordings of 2014.
Fan of classical music? Most likely, the answer is no. Pianist George Lepauw is trying to change that.
Project Trio were in Iowa recently for a performance schedule that included being a part of WCF Symphony's season opening concert on Oct. 11. The Brooklyn, NY three-piece also stopped by IPR's Studio One for music and conversation. Project Trio (Greg Pattillo on flute, Peter Seymour on bass, Eric Stephenson on cello) delightfully blur the edges of musical genres, as you can hear right here!
In what ways could music relate to the human voice without Auto-Tune or even, necessarily, language - or, for that matter, even singing? New classical CDs are exploring a fascinating range of possibilities, and several are either by or about Iowans. In reverse chronological order, here are five standouts:
He would have cranked up his radio louder and louder as his hearing got worse, but there's no doubt that if public radio had existed, Beethoven would have been an addict. And according to Jan Swafford, "People who knew Beethoven said politics was his favorite subject." So in addition to IPR Classical, I'd bet LvB would have had a preset for IPR's News/Talk stream. Do you seriously think this man would have missed an episode of All Things Considered?
In May, Simon Estes came to IPR to talk about his life and work, and one hour seemed way too short! His history is extraordinary: his grandparents were slaves, his father was a miner in Centerville, IA , then a major coal town, and he grew up to become one of the world's greatest opera singers. He broke many color barriers, including becoming the first black man to sing lead roles at the Bayreuth Festival (founded by Richard Wagner to showcase his operas). Dr.

Star mezzo-soprano Joyce DiDonato gave the 2014 commencement address at Juilliard Friday — and it's a memorable one, both for her words and by DiDonato's own example as someone whose own career began under low heat.
It MAY be SHAKEspeare's BIRTHday, SO they SAY, and WHAT muSIcian can reFRAIN from PLAY? That is (to drop the iambic pentameter) from the fun of listing favorite Shakespeare-inspired classical works? Below are a couple of lists from other sources, followed by my own additions and comments. What would make YOUR list? Let us know on our Facebook page or on twitter @IPRClassical, or by email (firstname.lastname@example.com) - and whatever you choose, Happy Shakespeare Day!
Violist Nadia Sirota - a leading advocate of new music, and former student of Jason Weinberger - recently joined the WCFSymphony to perform "beautiful music of a higher order than anything else you will hear this year" - works written for her by Judd Greenstein and Daniel Bjarnson. Then Weinberger led the orchestra in the sumptuous (but violin-free) Serenade no. 2 of Brahms. Hear the concert on Symphonies of Iowa, Sunday at 12 noon or Monday at 7 PM on IPR Classical.
What led three awesome soloists - Julia Bullard (viola), Hannah Holman (cello), and Susanna Klein (violin) - to form an ensemble, and why did they call it "Trio 826"? Hear the answers, and examples of their superb playing, in the live session they broadcast from IPR's studio last fall.

Mozart was 23 when he wrote a concerto so rich that not even he would ever surpass it. It's for Violin and Viola (K. 364) and when Orchestra Iowa performed the work recently, instead of bringing in touring soloists, they shined the spotlight on their own first violinist Luke Witchger and principal violist Lisa Ponton. They were amazing:
Just an ordinary weekend in Iowa: Sure, if you were in London you could hear the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra's Beethoven and Bruckner, and next weekend, see Sadler's Wells dance a Stravinsky double-bill. But think of the traffic and the cost of living! Meanwhile, here in Iowa? This month's Iowa Arts Showcase, which you can hear Saturday at 11 or 5, gives some in-depth background, but meanwhile - check it out:
When someone shouted "Osmo, come home," it touched off "five minutes of clamorous applause, which quickly turned rhythmic." That demonstration was in Minneapolis this weekend, says the New York Times, which adds: "since management lifted its 16-month lockout of the players" of the Minnesota Orchestra "over a contract dispute, in January, the musicians have typically been greeted as conquering if

It's Bach's Birthday! - or is it? The calendars in Eisenach on the day of his birth read March 21st, but back in 1685 Thuringians were still using the Julian calendar, so our equivalent date is "March 31st," ("equivalent" in being about ten days after the vernal equinox). But old habits die hard, especially addictive ones, and Bach is by far my primary addiction. How about if we just party for ten days?
Two masters of the Russian 7-string guitar, Oleg Timofeyev and Vadim Kolpakov, came into our studios last November to play original and traditional music. They told Barney Sherman about composing Roma music in Moscow, performing with Eugene Hutz at Madonna's birthday party, and reading a scene in Dostoevsky that connects Roma and Klezmer musicians. And they demonstrated the special sound and style of their instruments.
If you missed the in-studio live set of Renaissance music by Fathom, not to worry - Fortune has smiled on you! You can listen to the mp3 with the widget below or to a WAV file at this link. The group performed music written from the 1400s through February, 2014 (by Mary Larew, a native of Iowa and member of Fathom), all of it focused on the theme of Lady Luck. The six members of Fathom each have distinguished careers in early music (and in some cases, new music as well). They are:
Join us Saturday at 7AM or Sunday at 6PM to hear selections from the Ames concert by one of today's leading Baroque ensembles, Trio Settecento. Violin virtuoso Rachel Barton Pine, cellist/ gambist John Mark Rozendaal, and harpsichordist David Schrader perform music of the Italian Baroque as guests of Ames Town and Gown. The broadcast is part of our University Concert series.
Tune in at 3pm for a live in-studio concert of Renaissance music by the NY-based group Fathom. Its six members, including two Iowans, have distinguished careers in early music (and in some cases, new music as well). They are:
Hear Joe Giunta and the Des Moines Symphony in Ralph Vaughan Williams's Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis and a lesser-known gem, based on Scottish folk melodies, Max Bruch's Scottish Fantasy. The soloist in the Bruch is the award-winning young Japanese violinist Fumiaki Miura. Also on the program: Wagner's Rienzi Overture and Richard Strauss's Rosenkavalier suite. The broadcast, on Sunday at 12 noon and Monday at 7PM, is part of our Symphonies of Iowa series, produced and hosted by Jacqueline Halbloom.
Richard Strauss scored "Die Frau ohne Schatten" for, count 'em, 164 instruments; the percussion alone include "glass harmonica, 4 timpani, 5 Chinese gongs, cymbals, snare drum, rute, sleigh bells, bass drum, tenor drum, big field drum, triangle, tambourine, 2 castanets, tamtam, whip (slapstick), xylophone, glockenspiel, bells, 2 celestas." Budgets alone would make performance rare, as do scenery challenges (like a golden waterfall and, we're not making this up, children singing out of a frying pan).
Join Iowa Public Radio's Symphonies of Iowa for the Des Moines Symphony Orchestra's performance with Fumiaki Miura, a young Japanese violinist as he makes his debut with the Des Moines Symphony. Miuara, winner of the international Joseph Joachim Violin Competition will join the symphony for an inspiring performance of Bruch's Scottish Fantasy. Also included on this program is Strauss's romantic Suite from Der Rosenkavalier.
Featuring:Joseph Giunta, conductorFumiaki Miura, guest violin
Doctors told 15-year-old violin prodigy Augustin Hadelich he would never play again. A tractor fire at his family's farm had badly burned his upper body, including his bowing arm. But after many months of physical therapy Hadelich came back - and now, at age 29, he has won top international awards, been entrusted with two consecutive Stradivarius violins, and earned praise from critics like Alex Ross, who wrote in The New Yorker that Hadelich has not only "fast-fingered brilliance" but also "the musicality and freewheeling fantasy that...
Join Jacqueline Halbloom at 5PM as Iowa Arts Showcase finds out about the Tallcorn Jazz Festival, a Kurt Weill show with poetry by Langston Hughes, and more. We'll hear about the festival from a headliner, Cuban pianist Nachito Herrera, and from Chris Merz, UNI's Director of Jazz Studies. Celeste Bembry of UNI (who toured worldwide with the Albert McNeil Jubilee Singers) fills us in on Black History Month, and Bernard McDonald of Simpson tells us about their upcoming production of Weill's Street Scene.
How do you top a Super Bowl triumph? Renee Fleming does it by returning to a signature role - the love-struck sprite Rusalka in Dvorak's beautiful opera. Saturday at noon you can hear it live from the Metropolitan Opera on IPR - OR watch it live in HD video in theaters in Ames, Cedar Falls, Davenport, Dubuque, Des Moines, Grinnell, and Iowa City.
With all eyes on Sochi, here's a little IPR extra for the ears: two masters of the Russian 7-string guitar, Oleg Timofeyev and Vadim Kolpakov, who came into our studios last November to play original and traditional music. They told me about composing Roma music in Moscow, performing with Eugene Hutz at Madonna's birthday party, and reading a scene in Dostoevsky that connects Roma and Klezmer musicians. And they demonstrated the special sound and style of their instruments.
The first Orchestra Iowa Chamber concert of the 2013-2014 season, entitled Fall Romance, includes the music of Haydn, Mozart, and Brahms. This program features violinists Luke Witchger and Karla Galva, violists Lisa Ponton and Amanda Grimm, cellist Carey Bostian, bass Volkan Orhon, and Charles Harris on horn. Please join Iowa Public Radio's Symphonies of Iowa for our broadcast of Orchestra Iowa's Showcase Chamber Fall Romance performance.
Last year, Jeremy Denk won a MacArthur "Genius" fellowship, published a memoir in the New Yorker, signed a contract with Random House to expand that article into a book, and - oh, yes - won a place on IPR's "Favorite Classical CDs of 2013" list for his recording of Bach's "Goldberg Variations." All of this makes us eager to hear him play one of Mozart's most celebrated piano concertos, no. 25 in C major.

Is it possible to loft a shape which includes a hole or a section missing?
I am trying to loft the following shape but it doesn't seem to work with the missing section in the middle. Currently the 2 sketches are the same but in the actual design they aren't. i wanted to test if it would work with the same sketches but it doesn't.
If it is not possible what would be the easiest solution?
Why not just extrude it?
I want a curved profile to the edge, I just haven't included it. I thought loft would be the easiest way but maybe it isn't.
I'm trying to achieve a similar profile to what is in this image.
Loft in two steps.
Step one for the outer shape.
Step 2 to cut the holes.
Attach your file here if you can't figure it out.
to elaborate on JD's post - Inventor cannot loft a profile with a void in the middle to create a lofted tube. But I can loft the exterior face and then loft the interior face (with a cut) to create what is desired in 2 steps.
Assuming you are using rails with your loft (instead of centre-line), to give you a curve/bulge to the shape along the length of the loft, then you're probably going to want a set of rails for both the inner and outer profile to get them to match.

Glorified YouTube player
This souped-up YouTube player is actually pretty good.
Muziic claims to offer users an enormous library of free music and videos within one simple program. While this is partially true, the program is actually just a glorified YouTube player, though a very nice one.
The program's layout is incredibly easy to understand and navigate, with a professional design and intuitive command icons. When you first open Muziic, you encounter a fancy interface that works a lot like YouTube. You can search for music--or any topic, for that matter--and watch the rundown of results on a small screen. This, its most important element, was unfortunately its weakest and least original, although the audio and video quality was very good. We did, however, enjoy the streaming radio from around the world. The hundreds of stations boasted an incredible range of choices, everything from American rock to Indian Bollywood. All played clearly, with the crisp quality that sets Internet radio apart from its broadcast namesake. Muziic also provides a special feature for storing and cataloging your favorite videos, so you don't need to repeat searches. Though the product description is somewhat misleading, this is an excellent program for watching online videos and listening to radio.
Muziic is a free program. It installs desktop icons without permission. Though we initially thought it would be strictly a music player, this program was a fine way to view videos and listen to radio, and we recommend it.

Color me green...along with everyone else Personally, I am really pleased that the entire world has gone "green." Evil chemicals, from all indications, are a thing of the past. At least if you believe what you read. While I'm glad that many of the disease-causing chemicals that have been forced upon society are no longer being used, the entire concept does have a troubling side.
Welcome to my house It was like a police interrogation. Without the dead body. Yet. The story was told to me while I was at a gathering the other evening with some people I had just met. It didn't matter, though, because like many people who have had a life-altering experience, they were ready to spill their guts.
Time to Twitter I'm running late this week. Must be I'm spending too much time on Twitter again. OK, that may not be entirely true. In fact, I was not exactly certain what it is that Twitter is — or does — until I looked it up.
Whistling in the dark We hadn't owned a pet in quite awhile before obtaining a "packaged cat" about a year-and-a-half ago for Christmas. I have detailed a few of the kitty's exploits in this space, but have some updated observations. I guess one thing that needs to be cleared up is the "ownership" issue. "Holly" (it's that Christmas tie-in) is pretty much the owner of the folks who give her a warm place to reside and who feed her (when I remember).
Tunes for sale. Cheap. I heard some disturbing news on the radio this week. Along with all the well-documented effects of our economic Re-Pression, as I like to call it, have been some lesser known side effects. The story I heard told how one particular shop that purchases used compact discs has been flooded with returns. Apparently the "economic downturn" has plenty of folks turning in their tunes for cash. Now that's blues music. Or is it green music?
That's how I remember it. I think. I don't believe I'm alone when it comes to not always being able to remember things. The fact I sometimes can't recall something that I "learned" can be pretty annoying. For instance, I'm terrible with driving directions. Much of this is due to the laziness inspired by usually having a "navigator" during out-of-town trips.
Turn it up. Louder. "Progress" is a funny term. In recent years, more and more people are coming to the realization that "progress" isn't necessarily a good thing. For instance, using a bunch of additives mixed up in a laboratory to make our food grow faster, larger and have brighter color is not necessarily beneficial. The same with the vehicles we drive.
What are the chances? Some stunning news was reported this week on my Home Page. It seems that "only half the population understands what a precipitation forecast means well enough to make a fully informed answer to that tricky question of whether or not to bring an umbrella." That leaves half of us all wet, I guess. Or not — depening on one's luck.
Now who's the dork? For years, I have started my mornings from early spring through early fall with a review of the box scores to check the progress of my Fantasy Baseball players.
It's a handful My wife is fond of watching TV programs and reading books about different cultures. This is a good way to gain an understanding about the ways that others live their lives. She's learned a lot of important information. And, while not among the top facts she's picked up, she has discovered that people in many other countries favor eating with the hands.

Highlights: Monet's home; gorgeous gardens; water lilies
Duration: Five to six hours
Exertion level: Low to moderate
Accessible by: Train, bus, foot
Day Trip: Giverny
Impressionist painter Claude Monet is championed for many things, including the way he used light in his paintings. From 1883 onward, Monet lived in the small town of Giverny, where he landscaped a garden around a pond. In Giverny, Monet painted his famous massive-scale works depicting the play of light across this very pond of water lilies.
Monet's gardens offer the perfect respite from the bustle of Paris. Photo: Carl-Frederic De Celles.
To see
Monet's Giverny gardens are a perfect idyll, and the Monet house on the grounds is a great place for Monet fans to take stock of the painter's life. The only warning we feel compelled to offer is that the garden grounds and house are often packed with tourists in high season. Plan accordingly.
Check out the Fondation Claude Monet site. Admission to the house and gardens costs €9.50. The grounds are open daily from the beginning of April through the end of October.
When you return to Paris, be sure to check out Monet's water lilies at the Musée de l'Orangerie, which has exhibition rooms built specifically for his large paintings of water lilies.
Getting there
To get to Giverny, take the train from Paris St.-Lazare to Vernon and connect via bus 241 from Vernon. The roundtrip train journey costs €27.20 and takes about 45 minutes. The bus journey runs an additional €4 per single journey. Those who enjoy a medium-length walk can traverse the distance between the train station in Vernon and Monet's gardens by foot. It's about a 45-minute leisurely stroll.
For more information, visit the Giverny Web site.

Dexmethylphenidate and methylphenidate whats the difference?
- Posted:

Dexmethylphenidate is very similar to methylphenidate (the active component of Concerta®, Daytrana®, Ritalin®, Metadate®, and Methylin®). In fact, methylphenidate is actually a mixture of dexmethylphenidate and levomethylphenidate. Of these two components, dexmethylphenidate is the more active one.
Hope this answers your question? Take care, best wishes!
I dont wana sound stupid but i have to ask when you say Active what exactly do you mean.
Actives are known as the molecules which are the main component of the med besides various other ingredients such as; lubricants, binders, preservatives, starch, coloring etc.

Rejection Galore - page 3
Hi nurses, Wow, I never received this amount of rejection emails in my life. MY family and friends keep telling me to be optimistic but it's extremely hard to. Even when I applied, New York... Read More
0Aug 27, '12 by CP1983Quote from biblepoetThanks Biblepoet! The only thing that makes me nervous is starting IVs, even on a drug user because I did see, during my clinical rotation its definitely hard to find a vein. Is it necessary to obtain a IV therapy certificate? I have been checking Corizon (for jobs) and now they are asking for experience, so I was like, everything is changing. The only facility that is pretty close to me is Rikers Island and that is two hours away, I believe.Forgot to post mostly medication pass in the infirmary. Catheters blood draws. Subacute care pts. That just came from the hospital. Iv starts btw really challenging on iv drug User. Iv antibiotics, stopping chemist pumps on cancer pts; auctioning teach pts no respiratory therapists; calling the Dr.; when what is an emergancy and what can wait; dealing with nonmedical staff boy can the Co'sbe dumb; ton on cards; no iv pumps so used that math we used in nursing school. Cannot at this moment what else sure there was more but am tired and post knee scope. I currently work at a trauma hospital for 1 1/2 yrs I worked at prison about 1yr. At least here it gave me the magical one yr. Experience and I was offered 3positions and had to choose. One hospital job; one subacute position and mental health organization. Was interested kn tjs hospital or mental health. Dealt with psych nursing for over a yr. Hope it helps. Can give you mord info if you need it.
What do you mean "tons of cards?" Wow, no IV pumps? You mean, if a patient need fluids or any meds, you would have to count drips? Jeez...
Wow, it really does sound lonely working as a nurse for the prison but what I did noticed is you become better with time management and priorities. I think that's important but it really looks like you were doing everything yourself. -
0Aug 27, '12 by CP1983Quote from kcmylornI really do agree with you, kcmylorn. I guess I feel I am left with no choice but to take these classes to look more attractive but yes, I did read that many new grad nurse take these classes and still get no responses from hospitals. I think this is their way of just weeding out candidates, (just like you stated). It's frustrating tho. And honestly, the other reason why I deciding to do this is because a family member's friend told me to take these classes, she said to take at least one. You would think I can get a hook up from family member's friend but no, I have no way of getting access. The family friend works at a HHC and she is a CCU manager and she just told me they are not hiring but she suggested I take an ACLS or PALS class. I feel I have no choice and these classes may be a waste. But I feel like my nursing knowledge and skills are leaving the longer I do not get a job...I am wondering after reading numerous posts about large numbers of new grads when seeking employment going ahead and getting ACLS,PALS and EKG courses without having positions in areas that require these certifications.
Is this something new??
The reason I am asking is: In days gone by,( and I am talking about 2008,2010) we only got those certifications if we were working in an area where these certifications were going to be used such as acute care hospital peds or the ED/PALS: ACLS for the ED, ICU's, Tele units. and in these cases- the employer paid for them, scheduled you for the classes and you were expected to go- it was part of your orientation. That was my experience working in ICU/CCU and tele units.
Most recently, I have been offered 2 positions in outpatient family practice clinics and the agency recruiters are asking me to get ACLS to submit my name to these positions. My response to them was "why?" it's outpatient family practice, I'm on unemployment and that $300 pays my electric bill, there are no guarantee I will get the position and if iI don't get the job, Im out of $300 on unemployment,and have a ACLS I will never use. Since when is ACLS a requirement for an outpatient clinic or doctors office- in both these areas, you would call 911. The drugs used in ACLS are not present in any of these clinics- some of these clinics don't have crash carts!!! most personelin these clinics- don't know what a crash cart is!!! so we now need ACLS, PALS to pick up a phone and call 911. It seems to me that some CEO's kid is now working in HR and heard the term ACLS and now wants to sound like they have a Doctorate in Nursing. Sorry to be so fasicious but after my 2 recent encounters on the phone with agency recruiters- I am peed off.
It seems to me that these HR depts and employers are only busting bunns, asking people to get all the expensive certifcations with no intention of hiring the person, just going through resumes to pick out which cert you don't have and saying 'Oh we can't hire you because you don't have a certification in basketweaving" and excuse not to hire. all the while they are spending candidates money who don't have the money to throw away.
Any information to clear up this major expense of a question would be welcome. As these certifications are quite costly. approx $300 each and for some one on unemployment - this is an outrageous expense and ......possibly an unnecessary one. To me this is mind boggling. Like, what are they up to now to not hire people. -
0Aug 27, '12 by CP1983Quote from JB2007Thanks JB2007, I guess I just have to research if the MetroNorth goes out there but that is true, I should upstate NY a try first. How far is Fingerlakes from NYC? What is the transportation to get out there? Amtrak or metronorth? thanks again.I would be thinking of moving if it was a possiblity at all. There are hospitals in Northeast Indiana that will hire new grads and the cost of living is less than NYC. In addition, it is close enough to NY that you could go visit family and friends when you get a few days off. Good luck.
0Aug 27, '12 by CP1983Quote from RRay,RN,BSNAwe thanks, RRay! I know! I was actually apply to hospitals in Georgia as well, I guess it's rough out there too? How did you think you're first interview went?Know that you are not only. I have a BSN and in Georgia. I have applied to to every hospital within an hour and half from my house. Only landed one interview, one phone interview, and one email questionnaire. It has been 4 months since graduation and 2 months since passing NCLEX. From what I have heard the job market for New Grads is hard in every state.
At least you and everyone on this board understands. I know my family is optimistic but it's hard talking to them. They keep saying I will find something but I just feel they don't understand what I am truly going through. Like I haven't been working for three years. I gave up my full time job to pursue this exciting career. I do not regret it one bit of it, tho. But I am always use to working and making money, I even worked during the time I was getting my BBA from college to and obtained a BBA in management. Its rough seeing my bills go into collections and my credit score sink.
I am just frustrated that these hospitals don't want to invest in us at all but they keep the propaganda of "nursing shortage" going strong, using advertisements from schools, journal articles, the media and even job outlooks to fool us. I hate that they allow the ADN programs to continue but hospitals are requiring BSN which is fine but I just don't understand it; it's backwards. We are wasting money in the process. And now recruiters want us to get our certifications in ACLS and PALS with no intention of hiring us but we still waste more money in the process.
These schools and hospitals are leading us to dead ends and now we have to figure out another path and pray that someone hire us.
But I am trying to keep hope alive and I am still looking. -
0Aug 27, '12 by wish_me_luckkc, these classes do cost for the facility. So, they probably not only see someone who furthers their education but who can save them money because they already had the class. Yes, ACLS/PALS is more RRT material but good for everyone; EKG class is phenomenal to have because I will tell you, when I was a tech, there was a nurse that did not want to take the EKG class because she was not good at it or didn't want to because there's a test at the end. The option for her was quit or move to another floor that didn't require it. She quit. So, this isn't one of those 'it's just a class' things, it can be complex. That's what makes them so marketable.
I wanted to take an EKG class as well but when I inquired, it was $300. I was disappointed, maybe one day. -
0Aug 28, '12 by RRWilson,RN2CP1983,
I met with the nurse recruiter in HR at 930 then with the nurse manager on the floor where I would be working. I didnt leave until 1220-1230. I feel like the only reason I was able to land that interview was because I had done my senior prac there. I felt like the interview went really well, and I just knew I would be starting the following week. I was informed of pay, benefits, the color of scrubs to order, what days of the month orientation would be, the orientation process, and etc. I was thinking in my head, "Wow, I have received a lot of information about this job. Sounds really promising." I was told in 1 week they would be in contact about the next process. Well HR never contacted my references because I asked my references just about everyday had someone reached them. I dont know what happened or what went wrong. I have two friends that completed nursing school with me that work on this same floor, and they informed me that the nurse manager hired two guys but the are still in need of 2 more night RN. My application still says pending on the career dashboard. Pending isnt good enough, I need a job offer. My family is barely getting by on my husband's income.Last edit by RRWilson,RN2 on Aug 28, '12 : Reason: To add the person I was responding to -
0Aug 30, '12 by biblepoetTry to email her to remind her of your interest in the position. Be proactive and aggressive. I landed a job that way. Hope you sent a thank you for the interview. Keeps your name in front of her And remind her of you'd qualifications for the position. Just a thought in tight market.
0Sep 4, '12 by amygarsidePerhaps you can try doing work-at-home jobs. Working as a medical transcriptionist or in telehealth can probably help you financially while you are complete your BSN degree or while you wait for a job that you really want.

Rooney relieved to make amends
Wayne Rooney was relieved to avoid the wrath of Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson after dropping a second-half clanger in the 3-1 win over Hull.Rooney gave United the lead on the stroke of half-time, but a misjudged back-pass led to a Hull penalty from which Craig Fagan equalised. "It's a relief," said the England striker. "Their equaliser was a mistake by myself and it's not a nice feeling." "Thankfully we got the win, or the manager won't have been too pleased."

Opinion: What if Linux became closed source?
Submitted by Scott Dowdle on Sun, 2012-12-16 10:28. opinionBryan Lunduke wrote a piece for Networkworld... or something like that. I'm NOT going to link to it because I don't want to encourage more page hits for such lunacy. I heard the article when I listened to the latest Everyday Linux podcast. I strongly recommend that so check it out if you haven't already. One of Montana guys is one of the hosts. They don't always get it right, but they do make me think.
Anyway, I found myself hitting the "contact us" link and writing the following:
Just got around to listening to the latest episode of Everyday Linux. The article by Bryan Lunduke is moronic. That isn't to say that Bryan Lunduke is a moron... but I disagree with a lot of the stuff he says and this is another example. Posing the scenario and asking if you would still use Linux if it went closed source... is like asking Christians, would you still love Jesus if he was really Satan. Yeah, that's a lame comparison on my part but the point is that being free software (and open source) is the core of Linux. It is THE development model that lead to Linux. It is something Linux has been for more than 21 years now. Linux would not exist if it weren't for the fact that it was free / open software. It is what allows thousands of companies to sponsor the work that interests them and also what has allowed tens of thousands of volunteers to scratch their itches for the features they wanted improved or added. Simply put, if Linux were to become closed source, its development model would change and the number of outside contributions that it receives would stop. In essense, Linux would stop being Linux. Given the fact that the only way Linux could become closed source would be if tens of thousands of copyright holders all agreed to do it, that's never going to happen.
While Bryan was trying to enlighten us to the fact that many of us do compromise our free software values in those software categories where free software either doesn't exist or is significantly under-featured when compared to the closed alternatives... that really isn't a useful exercise other than to indicate the areas where free software needs more help.
Sure most of us "end user" types don't look at, read, modify and share source code changes... because most of us don't program at all... but switching something from free / open source to closed would basically be putting one of its feet into the grave. Does that sound dramatic? Well, let us consider... just how many software companies have existed during the 4 or so decades that personal computers have been around? How many of those companies are still around? How many of the top selling pieces of software from 21 years ago are still around and popular? How many companies have gone under with their closed source products dying with the company? How many companies / products have changed hands over and over... with competitor A buying out competitor B just so they can kill or co-opt their products? Now contrast that to how many pieces of FOSS from 21 years ago we still use. Yeah, the vast majority of drinking age free software has grown and evolved because of changes in the industry and user needs... so it definitely hasn't stayed frozen in time... but the fact is that the bulk of it still exists (assuming it was useful software to begin with) and is still being used. Because it is free and open... people have been able to modify it and keep it relevant... and as a result... even us end users who don't program at all can enjoy the benefits.
So, to answer the question... if Linux became closed source would we still use it? Ok, let's pretend that fire extinguishers somehow became flame throwers... I'm sure one or more people / groups would fork the last free release and give it a new name... and it would overtake the closed source Linux which would quickly fade into irrelevance. Don't believe me? There have been a number of major marketshare leaders that have made seeming tiny little changes in their license agreements... that caused them to be forked and replaced. Think Xfree86 or OpenOffice. There are certainly many more less well known examples I could mention, but I'm sure you get my point. So the answer is yeah... Linux would get dropped like a digital hot potato and we would just all move on.
Any other questions?
So to recap, Free and Open Source software's major strength is in the freedom it gives to developers... who then pass it on to users... who may or may not even notice. And of course, just being FOSS does not guarentee success. There are plenty of failed FOSS projects and Linux is really the biggest exception rather than proof of the rule.

Fedora 18 Pre-Release Report
Submitted by Scott Dowdle on Thu, 2012-11-22 10:01. Fedora | MontanaLinuxI've been remixing Fedora 18 pre-release for quite a while now. As you may recall The Fedora Project has delayed the release of Fedora 18 Beta several times now... mainly due to blocker bugs in their new installer and Fedora Updater (fedup). I think the rest of the distribution has benefited from the delays because I've been running it a while and it has been very solid for me... as or more solid than Fedora 17. In fact, Fedora 17 and Fedora 18 share a lot in common... because a Fedora release, during its lifecycle, gets a lot of updates and upgrades.
I started by putting Fedora 18 on my netbook. Then I put it on my home desktop system. I ran it for more than a month... oh, and by the way, I disable the updates-testing repository. Since it has been so solid on my hardware at home I finally decided, perhaps being a little haphazard, to put it on my workstation at work. When did I decide to do that? Well... I picked the day before Thanksgiving about 1 hour before it was time to go home. Care to follow me on my journey?
Update: (8PM, Thanksgiving) - I noticed an email that said that there was a Fedora 18 Beta release Go/No Go meeting today and that the decision had been made to finally release the beta on Tuesday, Nov. 27th... the so called "exploding turkey" release. Yeah!
Video: Continuing Adventures with KVM
Submitted by Scott Dowdle on Tue, 2012-11-13 10:24. kvm | Spice | videoKVM has supported USB for some time... although I hadn't had a reason to try USB inside of a KVM virtual machine until now. I got a hand-me-down USB webcam. I plug the webcam into any of my desktop systems and it works great... but can I use it in a KVM virtual machine? Can I use my webcam with any KVM virtual machine even if the virtual machine isn't running on the same physical machine where the webcam is plugged in? It turns out that the answers are all yes... thanks to USB support being added to qemu and the SPICE remoting protocol and client applications.
Here is my scenerio. I have a rack mount server that I run a number of KVM virtual machines on. Some of the virtual machines are setup as servers and don't run any graphical environment whereas others are desktop virtual machines with graphical environments. I have a physical desktop system where I run a SPICE client application that allows me to graphically connect to the desktop VMs. The SPICE remoting protocol does a good job of giving me a good user experience complete with bi-directional sound... which means I can both play back sound and I can create new sound with a sound input like a microphone. I found a recipe for using USB devices with KVM:
After following those instructions I was able to record the following video with the USB webcam and microphone (regular audio jack) plugged into my physical desktop but used within the remote KVM virtual machine. As you can hear, the sound is a bit weird and I'm not sure why that is but it seems to work.

Submitted by Scott Dowdle on Sat, 2012-11-10 07:13. enlightenment | linuxcon | videosSo far as I know, the various Linuxcon conferences around the world are planned and managed by The Linux Foundation. They have many, many sponsors... and The Linux Foundation has been doing live streaming from the last few... but it usually takes a while before the final videos are released. I believe someone in the audience shot this one and posted it to YouTube.
Just when you thought we already had too many desktop environments and window managers for Linux... comes the resurgence of one from the past... Enlightenment. The Enlightenment window manager USED to be the default for GNOME way back in the day... but after it got dropped it has sort of lived in exile with hundreds of hackers continuing to code on it for another decade.

Submitted by Scott Dowdle on Thu, 2012-11-08 13:08. Fedora | MontanaLinux | remix | videoIf you have been paying any attention to the development work going on with Fedora 18, you're probably aware that they have been running into repeated delays because of a complete rewrite of the anaconda installer. I've been working on remixing Fedora 18 and generally it is in fantastic shape with the exception of a few pieces of the installer that I'll not mention now. Below is a video of me booting the latest build, installing it, doing a firstboot, and then showing off some of the new desktops.
I do the install on top of an existing KVM virtual machine so that's why I nuke the partitions that were already there. The desktops shown are Mate, GNOME 3, and Cinnamon. Also included but not shown are KDE, LXDE, XFCE, openbox and a few other window managers. The latest Firefox, Flash plugin-in, and Google Chrome are included along with several of the multimedia apps and codecs provided by rpmfusion.
There is no sound. I guess I could have put some Euro-synth-pop in there but nooooo....

Programming Class Forming
Submitted by Scott Dowdle on Wed, 2012-10-31 11:42. BozemanLUG | programmingBozemanLUG member Jordan Schatz posted the following recently to the mailing list so I thought I'd share it here:
[BozemanLUG] Programming ClassSo I think being able to obtain the source for software is very important, but just as important is having the skill to modify that source... so in that vein I've been asked by a few people "how do I learn to program?". I love writing code and learning about or teaching computer science so I thought see if there was enough interest do put together a class. I think I'd need 10-20 people to make it worthwhile. The class would be aimed at adults or highschool juniors / seniors that know how to use a computer and are interested in learning how to code but have little or no prior programming experience.
I want to try a 6 hr (or there about) intensive class on a Saturday and then see what people want from there, but I would consider other formats too.
If you are interested or know someone who is, drop me an email: firstname.lastname@example.com preferably with "Programming Class" in the subject line, if there is enough interest then I'll find a place we can have the class and email

New Open Source DNS Server

[BozemanLUG] Unnamed DNS Server releasedAfter a month or so of not fiddling with it, I submitted it to freecode.com, so it should be up tomorrow some time.
You can get it here:
For those not up to speed, Unnamed is a caching DNS server that can filter DNS. So for example, you like opendns.com, but don't like their landing pages when you should have gotten an NXDOMAIN, you can now have your NXDOMAIN back. Or, you don't like ads, porn, etc. Easy and fast blocking. You want to host your own dns, easy. You want to filter mail based on an rbl that knows what country unresolvable ips are from, easy. Lots of features, easy to extend in C or Lua. And did I mention it's

THOUSAND OAKS, Calif., Aug. 22, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Energy crop company Ceres, Inc. (Nasdaq: CERE) today announced that former BP Chief Scientist and Undersecretary of Energy for Science, Steven E. Koonin, PhD, has joined the company's board of directors. Ceres' board will now have 12 members, including 10 independent directors as defined under the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market.
"It is a great pleasure to welcome a board member with such a valuable combination of experience from both the energy industry and public service to join our efforts to commercialize our pipeline of non-food, bioenergy products," said Richard Hamilton, President and CEO of Ceres. "Continued high oil prices, despite the current economic uncertainty, underscore the unique value of liquid transportation fuels as well as the imperative to rapidly develop alternative feedstocks for biofuels."
"The ability to dovetail into the existing fuel distribution and transportation infrastructure places biofuels in an advantaged position among renewables," said Koonin. "To be both competitive and sustainable, these renewable transportation fuels will rely on the type of high-yield, low-input feedstocks made possible through dedicated energy crops. I see significant technical headroom for a company like Ceres to help the biofuels industry reach greater scale and efficiency."
Koonin served as Undersecretary for Science at the U.S. Department of Energy from May 2009, following his confirmation by the U.S. Senate, until November 2011. As the department's chief scientific officer, he provided strategic technical advice to the Secretary of Energy and oversaw technical activities across the department's science, energy, and security activities. Prior to joining the government, Koonin spent five years as Chief Scientist for BP, plc. where he led the analysis of renewable

Love this pot!!! Edwin Peter Paar from Savannah, GA– Verified Buyer My husband got this pot for me after I had mentioned that I needed one this size, which is perfect for cooking rice or potatoes for the two of us. Not only does it have a "helper handle" which I appreciate because I have arthritis in my hands and wrists, but the lid is an absolutely elegant design. Glass, so you can see whether you're at a simmer or a boil, and the strainer feature is great when cooking potatoes. Don't want steam escaping? Turn the lid 90 degrees so the strainer is away from the pour spouts and virtually no steam will escape the pot while it's simmering. It's extremely easy to clean as well. Anything that has dried on rinses out after a brief soak in plain warm water. This is just a simply wonderful pot. |
I love Cephalon. Dee from King of Prussia, PA– Verified Buyer This cookware is well worth the investment. If you follow the care instructions, will last and maintain it's new appearance. I really like the design with the lips on either side for drainage and steam. The lid has a deep rim with wholes for release of steam or liquid or if you prefer not to release the steam, the lid can be adjusted. It provides even cooking. |
Simply nonstick 4-qt saucepan with lid Carol from DAYTON, NV– Verified Buyer Nice, heavy duty pan/pot. I ruined my other 4 qt and can't live without that size. Please read the use and care instructions first. Your pot will last longer. I'm very pleased with mine and I waited for two years before replacing my old one. I wanted just the right one, good quality, at a mid-range price. I found exactly that and worth the wait. |
Great size! Adrienne from Charleston, SC Love this pot as its the perfect size for pasta and larger meals! I got it cause is also oven safe! |
Perfect size, good handles Janet from New York, NY– Verified Buyer This is a great addition to the standard sets. The pour spout, two handles and glass lid were worth paying for. |
Housewife Deb from Wi.– Verified Buyer The simply nonstick 4-qt. saucepan works great for anything from potatoes to spaghetti and everything I between. |
Great pot. Marie from Lemon Grove, CA– Verified Buyer– Top 500 Reviewer So I am not the worlds greatest cook and this saucepan did not make me one. However it sure makes cooking a whole lot easier. Very easy clean up and perfect size. |
Great product Rosie from Lake Havasu City, AZ– Verified Buyer Oh I knew this saucepan was going to work out for me. And it is so easy to clean. Very happy with my saucepan perfect. |
Beautiful addition to my kitchen Judy from Crossville, TN– Verified Buyer Great size good condition and just a joy to work with |
worth the buy Courtney from bells, TN– Verified Buyer Love the product and price. We use them daily!! They r hard to find separately so we r very pleased |

Some of you may remember me from the kitchen forum when I redid my kitchen about 5 years ago. It has divinity white cabinets and bisque appliances. I need a new dishwasher now. I plan on selling the house within 2-5 years. Do I replace with a bisque dishwasher that matches the rest of the kitchen, or do I replace with a stainless steel dishwasher for resale? I do not plan on replacing the rest of my bisque appliances unless they die. Thanks for the advice! Barb |

Since your other appliances are going to be 7-10 years old at the time of sale, I would probably do stainless and replace the others in anticipation of sale at that time. Bisque may not be available at that time if you need to replace something else and you would still have mismatched appliances. By leaning toward SS now, you have a better chance of ending up with a match. |
I'd probably go with stainless. Since bisque is thought of as dated. And as the other appliances die, replace them with stainless as well. I'm in the same predicament right now. Dishwasher died. But my appliances are white. |
Thank you for the advice. I really appreciate it. When I redid my kitchen I kept my old appliances, so they are now 10 years old. My gut is telling me to get a stainless dishwasher. Looks like you all agree! Do you think having all stainless vs bisque would help sell a house quicker? House price range is about $400. Is it worth the cost of new stainless appliances? I was hoping not to have to spend the extra money. Barb |
If you don't plan on selling for 2 to 5 years, then just replace your DW for now and don't worry about the other appliances. Think about it when the time rolls around. |
bbtondo- unless you are going high end built-ins, you can get the SS look pretty reasonably and sell or use your older appliances elsewhere. I am looking at a wonderful GE French door we bought for $1200 to use in our rental. This one goes on sale for a better price periodically. I really do like it as well or better than any refrigerator I've ever had. Those are the biggies with the most surface area. I'd follow with microwave/hood... sink... range/oven last. I would estimate 4K based on my recent experience shopping sales. Again... functional- not high end. |
Dishwasher- sorry for the different posts, but this device will not allow me to choose multiple images. Anyway, you get the idea- Three big surfaces for a little over 2K. A range is another $1200 or so. |
There are many scratch and dent sales you can scan to find better deals; or outlet stores. Take your time and shop well. You can re-appliance for well under $2k if you shop well. Also don't forget to look for prior year models. I picked up a GE Profile counter depth French door fridge a couple of years ago for $1,550. It was more than 50% off due to a model year switch. Works fine! |

Per Duncan Lee in 2006, the 1843 "remains one of the rarest of the early proof issues." Our research has located only the following auction appearances of certified 1843 proofs:
1. PR64 NGC. The present lot. Frederic W. Geiss Collection (B. Max Mehl, 2/1947), lot 337; Floyd T. Starr Collection (Stack's, 10/1992), lot 583; David Queller Collection.
2. PR64 NGC. The Dr. John L. Pellegrini Collection of Liberty Seated Dollars, (Heritage, 7/2005), lot 10259; FUN Signature, (Heritage, 1/2007), lot 1060, which realized $57,500.
3. PR63 NGC. Will W. Neil Collection (B. Max Mehl, 6/1947), as part of lot 2292; Amon G. Carter, Jr. Family Collection (Stack's, 1/1984), lot 249; Kenneth C. Long Estate Collection (Bowers and Merena, 5/1995), lot 1213; Rarities Sale (Bowers and Merena, 8/1998), lot 236; Richmond Collection, Part II (David Lawrence, 11/2004), lot 1508, which realized $46,000.
4. PR63 PCGS. Rod Sweet Collection, Part IV, (Bowers and Merena, 7/2005), lot 1004, which realized $26,450.
The present Choice proof, pedigreed to the legendary Floyd Starr collection, has original and luxurious golden-brown and ocean-blue toning. The strike is needle-sharp, and post-strike abrasions are nearly absent. For pedigree purposes, we note a small mark on the reverse rim near 7 o'clock.
Opportunity is fleeting. It has been more than 15 years since its last auction appearance, and this high grade, original, and extremely rare proof may not appear again at auction for many additional years. Census: 3 in 64, 0 finer (2/08).
