Efficient retail market should be left alone
PUBLISHED: 11 Dec 2013 04:57:52 | UPDATED: 11 Dec 2013 04:57:52PUBLISHED: 11 Dec 2013 PRINT EDITION: 11 Dec 2013Editorial | If the two major retailers had quietly agreed to limit marketing actions, one would expect the competition regulator to be appalled. Yet Australian Competition and Consumer Commission chairman Rod Sims believes the recent agreement the regulator reached with Coles and Woolworths to restrict petrol shopper dockets is a job well done. Mr Sims says because the supermarkets had been using their market power to subsidise fuel discounts and this was pushing up the underlying price of fuel. The ACCC has not released data to back the finding and consumers who like getting discounts on petrol might wonder why the regulator intervened.

"Personhood" initiative encroaches on rights
Posted By DP Opinion On November 16, 2007 @ 12:59 am In Letters | 32 Comments
When a squirrel eats an acorn, is it eating an oak tree? When a bird eats a caterpillar, is it eating a butterfly? No.
The "personhood" initiative is an unsettling piece of legislation regarding a woman's right to choose. There are basic development processes that an embryo has to go through until it can remotely be called a human being. Just because two cells fuse and start dividing doesn't mean we have a human being. Just because there is a rudimentary heart fluttering in an embryo that isn't easily distinguished from any other mammal embryo doesn't mean it is a human being either. It won't be a puppy, certainly, but it isn't a human being either. It merely has the potential of a human being developing. As an acorn has the potential to be an oak tree, and a caterpillar a butterfly.
I believe every woman has the right to consider what is best for her when deciding about abortion issues. If a woman is against abortion, she shouldn't have one. But no one else has the right to decide for more than half the human population whether they should have access to a medical procedure or not.

Bruce Adolphe and the Piano Puzzler have been on a summer vacation for the last couple of weeks, leading to more than a few cases of Puzzler withdrawal in the PT community. Luckily, they're back in today's show. Play along with Fred and Bruce; see if you can guess the hidden tune and the mystery composer in this week's Piano Puzzler.
Aug 30
Most people have never heard of Canadian composer Andre Mathieu. Mathieu was a rising star in the 1930s and 1940s. But he led a troubled life, dropped out of the music scene, and died in obscurity in 1968. Some call him the Canadian Mozart. His style, though, is closer to Rachmaninoff, who called Mathieu a genius. On today's show, Alain Lefevre performs Mathieu's fourth piano concerto with the Tucson Symphony Orchestra.
Aug 29
Violinist Christian Tetzlaff hears every emotion in the Brahms Violin Concerto. He says it starts as a serene, beautiful piece, but then tumbles into incredible depths, with anger and moments of total forlornness. Tetzlaff played the Brahms concerto at the
BBC Proms
in London earlier this month. Plus, PT listeners weigh in on pianist Yuja Wang and the dust-up over her
little orange dress.
Details are in today's show.
Aug 27
A full performance of Wagner's opera Tristan and Isolde spans about five hours. Pick out the first and last bits, scoop out everything in the middle, and you've got a nice concert excerpt that's a manageable size. In today's show, Jaap van Zweden does just that, leading the Dallas Symphony in the Prelude and Liebestod from Wagner's opera. Plus, highlights from PT's week at the 2011
Aspen Music Festival.

In today's show, Jaap van Zweden does just that, leading the Dallas Symphony in the Prelude and Liebestod from Wagner's opera. Plus, Elgar's loving portraits of family and friends: his Enigma Variations from the
BBC Proms
in London.
Aug 25
When Gustavo Dudamel and the Simon Bolivar Youth Orchestra of Venezuela made their
BBC Proms
debut in 2007, they blew the roof off the Royal Albert Hall in London with a program of Latin music. They came back to the Proms this year, a little more mature (they no longer call themselves a youth orchestra). But the SBSO can still pack a punch. We'll hear their sold-out performance of Mahler's Resurrection Symphony, from a concert three weeks ago in London.
Aug 24
Violinist Midori joined host Fred Child in our PT studios recently for an hour of music and conversation. She talked about the singular power of music by Bach ("so spiritual, so cleansing, so difficult") and about the many ways in which she is reaching out to young musicians and young listeners. Plus, Debussy's Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun, from a concert by the New York Philharmonic.
Aug 23
Times were tough for Mozart in the summer of 1788. His financial life was a shambles, and he was reduced to writing a series of pitiful letters to a friend, pleading for money. But at the same time, he was also writing his final three symphonies, each of them a masterpiece. He churned them out over the course of two months that summer. We'll hear Mozart's Symphony Number 39, from a concert by James Levine and the Boston Symphony.
Aug 22
PT has had a memorable week at the
Aspen Music Festival
in Aspen, Colorado. Today, host Fred Child wraps up his stay there with two on-stage perfchats, music and conversation with several Aspen artists. Edgar Meyer plays one of his own virtuoso pieces for the double bass. And 14-year-old Simone Porter, an Aspen student violinist, wows the crowd with music by Sarasate.
Aug 20
Violinist Joshua Bell remembers being a 15-year-old student at the
Aspen Music Festival and School,
and how it changed his life. He'll tell the story, and we'll hear Gil Shaham, Cho-Liang Lin, Ingrid Fliter, and others share their Aspen memories. And from the Aspen Music Festival, Joshua Bell joins the Aspen Chamber Symphony to play the Violin Concerto by Felix Mendelssohn.
Aug 19
Alan Fletcher is the President and CEO of the
Aspen Music Festival,
more than a full-time job. But more than anything else, he says he considers himself to be a composer. A composer who just happens to have a great day job running America's biggest summer music festival. In today's show, we'll hear one of Fletcher's works, "Woman Holding a Balance," based on this painting by Vermeer.
Aug 18
Here at PT, we call them perfchats: music and conversation with some of the top artists in classical music. In today's show, the first in a series of perfchats from the
Aspen Music Festival.
Pianist Steven Osborne plays music by Ravel and Prokofiev, from a special event recorded at Aspen on Monday night. Plus, the art of busking at Aspen.
Aug 17
Violinist Joshua Bell remembers being a 15-year-old student at the
Aspen Music Festival and School,
and how it changed his life. He'll tell the story, and we'll hear Gil Shaham, Cho-Liang Lin, Ingrid Fliter, and others share their Aspen memories. And from the Aspen Music Festival, Joshua Bell joins the Aspen Chamber Symphony to play the Violin Concerto by Felix Mendelssohn.
Aug 16
We tend to refer to it as simply the Aspen Festival or the Aspen Music Festival. But its full name is the
Aspen Music Festival and School.
Teaching and learning are a huge part of what goes on every summer in Aspen. Today, stories of learning from Aspen, including violinist Sarah Chang getting not only violin lessons, but driving lessons from her teacher, Dorothy DeLay. And cellist David Finckel and pianist Wu Han teach a master class to Aspen students.
Aug 15
All week long, PT will be coming to you from the
Aspen Music Festival in Aspen
, Colorado. Host Fred Child is there. We'll be featuring interviews, special on-stage events, and great performances from America's biggest summer music festival. In today's show, a gondola ride up Aspen Mountain for an informal concert, and performances by Time for Three, guitarist Sharon Isbin, flutist Marina Piccinini, the Brasil Guitar Duo, and much more.
Aug 13
German pianist Alexander Schimpf won the Cleveland International Piano Competition last weekend in Cleveland. The win catapults him into a new arena, with a grand prize of $50,000 and two years of concerts. But he wasn't thinking about that when PT host Fred Child spoke with him shortly after his big win. Schimpf said he was thinking of his family back home in Germany. They listened to his gold-medal performance of Beethoven's Fourth Piano Concerto over the internet a week ago. You can hear it in today's show.
Aug 12
"My career in the theatre has been a flop," wrote Aaron Copland. It was 1939, and a stage version of a play called Quiet City had closed before it even opened. Copland had written incidental music for the show. He later reworked some of it for an orchestral arrangement. Saxophonist Christopher Brellochs obtained a copy of the unpublished manuscript for Quiet City. Brellochs joins host Fred Child to talk about the piece. And we'll hear his arrangement of Copland's original version.
Aug 11
German pianist Alexander Schimpf won the Cleveland International Piano Competition last Saturday night in Cleveland. The win catapults him into a new arena, with a grand prize of $50,000 and two years of concerts. But he wasn't thinking about that when PT host Fred Child spoke with him shortly after his big win. Schimpf said he was thinking of his family back home in Germany. They listened to his gold-medal performance of Beethoven's Fourth Piano Concerto over the internet on Saturday. You can hear it in today's show.
Aug 10
It was an unusually hot day in Paris, May 29th, 1913. But the heat of the late-day sun was nothing compared to the inferno going on inside the Theatre des Champs-Elysees. It was an event that would change music forever: the premiere of Igor Stravinsky's ballet, the Rite of Spring. On today's show, music writer Alex Ross tells the story of that riotous premiere. And Jaap van Zweden leads a performance by the Dallas Symphony.
Aug 9
In nine minutes of ravishing music by Richard Strauss, Salome sheds her inhibitions along with her clothes in a dance for her step-father, King Herod. The scene from Strauss' opera Salome shocked audiences when it premiered in 1905. In today's show, the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra plays Strauss' infamous Dance of the Seven Veils, in a concert from the BBC Proms in London.
Aug 8
In 1938, composer Paul Hindemith fled Nazi Germany and later came to the U.S. One of his first projects here was to write a ballet based on themes by Carl Maria von Weber. Weber's tunes were charming but insubstantial. But Hindemith took that music of limited possibilities and turned it into something spectacular. His Symphonic Metamorphosis on Themes by Weber is in today's show, in a performance by the Los Angeles Philharmonic.
Aug 6
Jean-Yves Thibaudet is about to turn 50, and is getting philosophical. In today's show, Thibaudet shares his thoughts on being an overnight sensation vs. building a career more slowly. And he plays the sensational Liszt Piano Concerto No. 1 in Dallas.
Aug 5
The Netherlands conjures up images of windmills, page-boy haircuts, and wooden shoes. But despite its small size, it's a big player on the classical music scene. In today's show, the Netherlands Symphony Orchestra plays Dvorak's 8th Symphony at the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam. And Dutch conductor Jaap van Zweden leads the Dallas Symphony in Beethoven's 7th, from a concert in Dallas.
Aug 4
It was the hottest ticket of the 2011 BBC Proms, the July performance of William Havergal Brian's Symphony No. 1, the Gothic Symphony. A massive work that calls for 1000 musicians and spans about three hours, it hadn't been performed in Britain in over a generation. The only place you can hear it outside the U.K. is right here on PT. We'll have highlights in today's show.
Aug 3
With apologies to great Spanish composers, the fact is that many of the best Spanish-sounding works in classical music were written by the French. In today's show, we'll hear two of the best: Claude Debussy's Iberia and Maurice Ravel's Alborada del Gracioso, from a recent concert at the Proms in London. It's Spanish music by French composers, played by a British orchestra.
Aug 2
Robert Schumann had a budding career as a concert pianist, until he injured his right hand from too much practicing. In today's show, the piece that might have been Schumann's undoing, his Toccata in C Major. Most pianists shy away from it because of its difficulty. Host Fred Child demonstrates what makes this piece so arduous, and we'll hear a performance by Evgeny Kissin from Verbier, Switzerland.
Aug 1
Beethoven at 45 was a confirmed bachelor. Hard to know how much was by choice, and how much by circumstance. Turns out, he did have his eye on someone. Beethoven didn't say who she was, but left behind a set of love songs to his "Distant Beloved." We'll hear them, from a concert in distant Sydney, Australia. Plus, Beethoven's Triple Concerto from the Proms in London.

Communications systems and methods using phase vectors
A transmitter for use, for example, in an OFDM communication system transmits a plurality of signals simultaneously to one or more receivers. Each signal carries data. At the transmitter, a suitable phase vector is selected from among a plurality of available phase vectors to apply to the plurality of signals. Each available phase vector comprises a plurality of phase elements each of which corresponds to one or more of said signals and sets a phase adjustment to be applied by the transmitter to the corresponding signal(s). The suitability of each available phase vector may be judged based on a peak-to-average power ratio reduction achievable by applying the phase vector concerned to the plurality of signals. The selection of the suitable phase vector is initially limited to phase vectors belonging to a first set of the available phase vectors, and is expanded to further phase vectors outside said first set when no suitable phase vector is found in the first set. This can save processing burden in the transmitter.

For the Worrier. 40 Belief-Shaking Remarks From a Ruthless Nonconformist. If there's one thing Friedrich Nietzsche did well, it's obliterate feel-good beliefs people have about themselves. He has been criticized for being a misanthrope, a subvert, a cynic and a pessimist, but I think these assessments are off the mark. I believe he only wanted human beings to be more honest with themselves. He did have a remarkable gift for aphorism — he once declared, "It is my ambition to say in ten sentences what others say in a whole book." A hundred years after his death, Nietzsche retains his disturbing talent for turning a person's worldview upside-down with one jarring remark. How to Travel Full-Time for $17,000 a Year (or Less!) Wise Bread Picks For the last five years, I've been traveling the world full-time, and for less money than I've ever spent (and I'd wager less money than most people would spend) to live in one place.
My worldly possessions fit into one bag (just larger than carry-on size) and a backpack containing my laptop and computer gear. Strawberry Torte. This beautiful swirled torte is almost too pretty to eat.

Ophiarachna occurs in the Philippines and in tropical Pacific waters and is frequently seen in the pet trade (for examples..see videos below). Its a handsome naimal that looks like this:
His paper describes an AWESOME feeding method!! Something that he calls "The Body Spiral Behavior"...and you KNOW its good when its
- Echinodermish
- Sounds like wrestling!!
At night (this behavior was only observed using night-vision), this species will sit up on its armtips and form a "pseudocrevice" , maintaining the top position for many minutes without moving. Apparently, he found many individuals found in this posture during the night.
From here, it gets interesting.
Short version: Fish get too close..and then... Ophiarchna will RAPIDLY wrap its body into aspiral (as above) ..forming the "body spiral". This action apparently takes less than a SECOND.
The fish is trapped by the elongate spines on the arms creating "bars" to a "prison" formed by the helically arranged arms.
The brittle star holds the position for several minutes, gradually lowering the disk toward the bottom and moves its arms outward.
Prey captured was digested head first as it was swallowed WHOLE by the ophiuroid.
Interestingly, Ophiarachna takes advantage of several of these fish's natural nocturnal behavior to find hiding spaces. And although they feed on a variety of items (e.g., algae, etc.) this behavior was observed to be quite successful.
And thanks to Youtube...here's some video footage of this beast doing something VERY close to the behavior described, but I'll betcha most people don't actually know that these critters can EAT FISH. Just let them hang naturally...and watch the wonder!

TEL AVIV – Finding the dead bodies of three disappeared Israeli teenagers, Israel has vowed retribution against Hamas, launching dozens of air strikes on Gaza strip over night that left scores of civilians injured or killed.
" Hamas is responsible for the kidnapping and murder of the youths and we know how to settle accounts with them," Israeli Defence Minister Moshe Yaalon was quoted by Agencie France Presse (AFP) on Tuesday , July 1.
"We will continue to hunt the killers of the youngsters, we will not rest nor will we be silent until we lay our hands on them."
The bodies of Israeli teenagers, Naftali Frenkel, Gilad Shaar and Eyal Yifrach, were found in West Bank on Monday evening.
According to one of the civilians, the bodies were covered with a pile of branches and stones.
"It was a very isolated area, more or less at the end of the world," Benny Truper told army radio.
In retaliation, about 34 targets in Gaza were pounded by Israel over Monday and Tuesday, killing two Palestinians and injuring four.
"They were kidnapped and murdered in cold blood by human animals," Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told ministers at the start of an emergency security cabinet meeting on Monday evening .
"Hamas is responsible and Hamas will pay."
Since the kidnapping of the three teenagers earlier this month, Israeli occupation forces have been storming the West Bank, arresting hundreds of Palestinians.
Though no authority has claimed responsibility for the presumed kidnapping, Israeli media speculated the three may have been kidnapped by Hamas.
The abduction of the Israeli teenagers was condemned by the Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas who said that his security will be "cooperating" with Israel to find the teenagers.
At least 419 people were detained, including 276 Hamas members and others who were freed during a prisoner swap deal to release soldier Gilad Shalit in 2011.
'Gates of Hell'
Hamas has reiterated denial of being behind the kidnapping and killing of the teenagers.
The group has accused Israel of exploiting the situation to wage war against Palestinians.
Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri warned that Israel would "pay a price" for any aggression which would "open the gates of hell ".
"We warn Israel against any stupid action. If Israel wants a war, the price they will pay will be greater than in previous wars," Hamas said.
Denouncing the death of the teenagers, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas called for an emergency meeting of the Palestinian leadership.
"We wanted peace to be created in this part of the world so no mother or no family will be bereaved for the loss of their beloved ones, Palestinian or Israeli," his spokesman Abdallah Abdallah was quoted by BBC.
Israeli's crackdown on the occupied lands is expected to be intensified in the coming days.
Israeli politicians are inciting their government to take the reprisal to a higher level that includes "targeted assassination" of Hamas members.
"I don't know how many leaders of Hamas will remain alive after tonight," Tzachi Hanegbi, the deputy foreign minister, was quoted by Al Jazeera.
According to Hanan Ashrawi of the PLO's, "Israeli escalation already took place, and now they have an excuse of further escalation."
Last week, the United Nations has vehemently condemned the ongoing detentions and the killing of Palestinians by the Israeli security forces while search for the missing teens.
The kidnapping, though not proved, would not have been the first in the occupied lands.
In 2006, Israeli army soldier Gilad Shalit was taken prisoner during a cross-border raid by Palestinian resistance groups.
Following his capture, Israel imposed a crippling siege on the Gaza Strip, home to 1.8 million Palestinians, badly affecting livelihood in the seaside enclave.
Israel also launched a three-week deadly offensive on Gaza, which left thousands of people killed and injured and destroyed thousands of houses.
Shalit was released in 2005 under a prisoner swap between Israel and Hamas, under which more than 1,000 Palestinian prisoners were freed.

I have about 400lbs of iron weights in the bottom of my safe that were strangly enough just sitting around unused. If anyone can move my safe with all the ammo and added weights and get it our my front door without killing themselves then I ain't gonna stand in their way. Guns can be replaced. A hernia lasts a lifetime.
BTW, was visiting with a deputy sheriff at recent drug task force gun auction and he told me most of the guns at the auction had been siezed from drug dealers that'd received them as payment for drugs. Said they busted one lady and siezed more than 20 top end Browning and Benelli shotguns. Busted her again 6 moths later and siezed more top end firearms. Either the druggies around here have cash to burn on high end firearms or no one reported these guns as stolen. |

I'm just across the river down in OR, but a whole lot of crime makes its way up and down I-5. I'll check some pawn shops with a printout of the list but don't hold your breath.
There's plenty of places these could end up where nobody would care if they're stolen (gangs, other criminal groups). This is a good cautionary tale reminding everyone to keep an up-to-date list of their guns, specs, and serial #s. I may go update mine while I'm printing this list.
Please, don't feed the beast. |

A crew COULD get my safe out, but it will take a while...It is bolted to 2 walls, as well as floor and expoxied in place.
then, they still gotta get it up the basement steps, with a very narrow landing and a 90* turn on that landing.

Could you describe the epoxying in place. I'm not familiar with that.

No Fed Data Base
I would gladly pay a small fee on my next firearms purchase if it will fund a stolen gun national data base. Info only given by law enforcement when filling out their crime report.
I guess I need to bolt down my safe. One bolt should do if bolted to a concrete foundation. I'm kinda lazy. |

The bolting down seems to be mandatory but I know some people who don't own the property or live under other circumstances that will not allow for such. One thing that can be done (again no substitute for securing unit to earth) is to pack the safe with K's rounds of ammo as it will make it almost impossible to move absent serious labor (which albeit can be done but nevertheless makes it exponentially more difficult).

Been off the forum for a few days. When I was ready to place the safe, I set it in place, marked the holes for bolsts, moved safe (empty, of course), drilled holes. Had a gallon of 2-part "Concrete Repair Expoxy". Mixed it up, applied to floor and the walls in the corner where safe was being placed, as well as the bolt holes got filled with expoxy. Moved safe into place, added bolts, and let it dry. The safe COULD be taken out, but not without taking a chunk of floor and walls with it.

That is a really good idea, thanks for sharing it. I know that any safe can be stolen, but I want to make it as difficult as possible.

Sadly, there is another list of stolen guns to look out for in the Austin/San Antonio, TX area. My father's home was burglarized this past Sunday. To make things worse, we have no serial numbers - there is a list, but it can't be found.
Here's what was lost, from memory, including identifying marks. Remington sporter 12 ga. pump-action shotgun with dark wood stock/grip. No real identifying marks. Winchester model 1892 .30-30 with a modern hunting scope on an aftermarket custom mount. I can't remember the model or manufacturer of scope. Bushnell or Tasco probably. Custom scope mount is attached with screws to the left side of the receiver. Mossberg .410 pump-action shotgun with wood stocks/grip. No real identifying marks on this one. Winchester model 74 .22 cal semi-auto rifle with dark red walnut stock- some slight custom shaping has been done on the stock. M-1 Carbine, .30 cal, WWII vintage with "GENERAL MOTORS" manufacturer's stamp on the barrel, with 10 round and 30 round magazines. "Snake Charmer" .410 single shot pistol-grip shotgun with a broken trigger guard. This is the original Snake Charmer, not the current re-issued model. Natural metal finish with black plastic pistol grip/short stock. Antique (100+ year old) Mossberg 12 ga. single shot shotgun - well kept, but obviously ancient. Has not been fired in at least 40 years. PISTOLS - - - - - Llama model III-A.380 ACP semi-auto pistol with holster and spare magazine. Small spot of rust on the right side of the trigger - haven't had the opportunity to have that sanded and refinished. Missed a fingerprint once while I was cleaning it for him. Colt .38 Special, 3" barrel with holster. Third generation Detective Special, short barrel, shrouded ejector pin, wood grips with Colt badges. Front post sight has a spot of white liquid paper on it for visibility. Charter Arms Explorer II .22 Automatic pistol with scope and two magazines. Blued, not stainless. Rear sight on pistol is damaged. Two matched Tanfoglio .25 ACP automatic pocket pistols with spare magazines, one with a storage case. Hi Standard Sentinel R-101 9-round .22LR revolver w/3" barrel. Made in 1958. Also has a spot of liquid paper on the front sight. Replica Colt Navy model 1849 cap-and-ball revolver with unfinished wood grips. Kit gun. Replica percussion cap musket with light honey-colored wood stock and a pair of matching percussion cap dueling pistols with honey-colored wood grips. Early 19th century style. I'm hoping if one of these is spotted in a pawn shop (it'll be a couple of weeks before any that are pawned might be made available in the shops) there will be one or two others with it to make a positive ID more likely. At least that's the hope... Also missing are a Framus classical guitar from the early '50s and a Harmony H-92 archtop electric hollow body guitar with "starburst" finish from the late '50s, for what it's worth. Yes, they stole his guns and they stole his guitars. There's a country song in there...but we'd rather just have dad's property back. |

I have several of the same guns.
Without serial numbers, there's not much you can do. Word to the wise. Write them down. An by the way, I'd love to see the carbine with "General Motors" stamped on it..... |

Write down your serial numbers and email them to yourself. Even better if you include pictures of everything.
This way, you will always be able to pull them up, even if you are away from home, or if your house burned-down, etc. as long as you have internet access.

I was talking to a buddy policeman. he told me the best thing you can do is to take the butt plate off and dab a little minwax polyurethane on the wood
then stick your thumb print in it. let dry. record your serial numbers they can grind out the serial numbers. but he said 9 out of 10 will not pull the plate . then when the gun is picked up. the proof is there he also said that unless a body is attached to a bugulary crime scene. they only take a report. they do not have the money for anything else

The world is a big, big place and many lucky souls get to travel around it every year. Right this second, there will be countless people exploring unfamiliar territory all for the sake of having some fantastic memories and experiences. It's only natural to want to keep these memories somewhere other than in one's head, right? That's what HipGeo hopes to simplify.
HipGeo is a travel blog app that allows users to upload photos quickly, as well as text all linked to the user's current location. It's very simple to use. Even more so than a more traditional solution such as WordPress. There's the additional bonus of all information being linked to a website, giving each user the address http://www.hipgeo.com/yourusername so that anyone can check out what's going on. Private entries are possible to add, however.
Loading the app brings the user to the Activity Feed, showing examples of other users' travels. Other functionality is just one tap away with it simple to upload photos or text. There are even rudimentary photo editing abilities, as well as the option to add a filter or effect. Adding the location is just a matter of allowing Location Services to do its thing.
For those that want to track where they are at all times, it's also possible to set up auto-recording of locations that are then uploaded for private consultation. Extra features are included to minimize data fees, ideal for those travelling further afield.
It's all pretty slick yet effective. It doesn't take long to enter a blog post or upload some photos of the location which is bound to be a huge bonus for users too busy having fun, yet wanting to check in with friends. It's very easy to share via Twitter or Facebook, for instance. As a more focused solution, rather than something like Tumblr, HipGeo hits the spot nicely.

Powerful Multimedia Command-Line Tools, Part II—Transcode
MEncoder has supported video encoding for a long time with the MPlayer Project and FFmpeg, which also now is part of MPlayer. Transcode is a new command-line tool on the horizon for video and audio transformations. Transcode used to give me horrors, but it is much better now. It does take some time to learn its wonderfully unintuitive syntax—the author used all the lowercase and uppercase English alphabet letters for specifying the command-line options. Using longer mnemonic options common in other Linux commands might have made things easier. Anyway, let's get to the meat of the matter.
You can apply certain video filters to smooth, blur, enhance, add or remove logos, apply masks and so on with Transcode. But before we get to all of that, here's a piece of advice from the trenches. Do the following:
$ tcmodinfo -p
Then, go to the directory and see what import modules, export modules and filters came with your Transcode program. Mine did not contain several export modules, and a few filters were missing.
Transcode's error reporting is not very user-friendly. You need to look at the output carefully to figure out whether Transcode understood a certain command switch. Sometimes it hangs, and occasionally it tells you what went wrong on the command line. So, you need to take some time to gain familiarity with using the commands.
Another problem with Transcode is that it supports a huge list of options, so you'll want to do some memorizing. Keep the man page open and make sure you don't miss anything. Once you find a combination that works, you're all set. Some of the most important switches are -x, -y, -J, -i and -o.
The -x and -y switches are for specifying the import and export modules, respectively. Depending on the input/output video/audio formats, you may need to change them. Use the tcprobe tool that comes with Transcode to figure out whether a particular audio or video input is autoprobed by Transcode. If tcprobe is happy with it, you can skip the -x option.
The -J option is the most versatile. It is the filer option, and you use it to specify the filter chain. All video preprocessing and postprocessing is performed with this switch.
The -i and -o options are for video input and output files. Either or both of them could be /dev/null. There also are switches for specifying an external audio file as input (-p) and for dumping the resulting audio after processing to a separate file (-m). You can do a lot of tweaking and add a great deal of filtering subsystems into the chain. Transcode is a young program, and I expect many more filters will be added.
Transcode Commands
It is odd that Transcode supports all kinds of imaginable input and export modules. Its notion of what constitutes a video is very broad. It can take images from the ImageMagick library; it can do audio-only processing; it can take sound files as audio input for the video and redirect the output audio to a different file and so on.
I tested a long list of commands to get an idea of what it could do. Once I figured out the basics, the rest was smooth sailing.
The following is a command to cull out the audio from video.mpg:
$ transcode -i /home/girish/video.mpg -x mpeg2 -y null,ogg -J aclip,resample -m /tmp/foo.ogg -E 22050
I don't have the MP3 export module, so I encoded it into Ogg Vorbis format. The -E 22050 switch specifies the output sample rate. You also can specify the bits per sample and the number of output channels with the same switch.
This next command saves the output audio in AC3 format after resampling to 48,000Hz as per AC3 standard. The -J resample filter option is necessary but is invoked internally by Transcode:
$ transcode -i /home/girish/videos/video.mpg -x mpeg2 -E 48000 -y null,ac3 -m /tmp/foo
The following line dumps the video frames in motion JPEG format along with the audio processing as above:
$ transcode -i /home/girish/videos/video.mpg -x mpeg2 -E 48000 -y mjpeg,ac3 -J aclip,resample -m /tmp/foo -o /tmp/fop.mjpeg
This line dumps the video frames into separate ppm files in the /tmp directory with the prefix ppm:
$ transcode -i /home/girish/videos/video.mpg -x mpeg2 -E 48000 -y ppm,ac3 -m /tmp/foo -o /tmp/ppm
This line does the same but in JPEG format:
$ transcode -i /home/girish/videos/video.mpg -x mpeg2 -E 48000 -y jpeg,ac3 -m /tmp/foo -o /tmp/foo
There also is support for PNG, but I do not have the export module in my transcode install.
Figure 1. Transcode Architecture
DVDs contain videos in a VOB container format that can consist of several audio and video streams, as well as subtitle files, and all are organized into chapters. Transcode can understand DVD titles with the -T switch. There are many on-line resources with further information on DVD handling.
Let's get back to our examples. The following line does the same as the last example command but ignores the audio:
$ transcode -i /home/girish/videos/video.mpg -x vob -y jpg -o /tmp/foo
Note that transcode can use external commands, like ffmpeg or oggenc, for its processing, and you can observe what is going on in the output.
Transcode uses the ANSI terminal color sequences effectively, and you can turn that on or off with a command-line switch. There also are several other switches for exporting a particular profile or aspect ratio. DVD profiles are well supported, by which you can short-circuit some of the other options. There also are switches for flipping, taking a color negative, mirroring and so on.
This command inverts the video colors to take a color negative:
$ transcode -i /home/girish/videos/video.mpg -x vob -y mjpeg,ogg -J invert -o /tmp/foo.mjpeg -m /tmp/foo.ogg
The -J invert filter does this magic. The filtering subsystem is Transcode's most powerful component; take particular note of its power and usage.
The following is an example of applying a huge filter chain. It demonstrates the power of the Linux command line and also the architecture of Transcode that can handle such a filter chain:
$ transcode -i /home/girish/videos/video.mpg -x vob, -y mjpeg, -J mask=lefttop=0x0:rightbot=500x500,msharpen=strength=205:threshold=20,nored,normalize=smooth=0.2,pp=hb/vb/dr/al-o /tmp/foo.mjpeg
Don't be scared by the length. It is simple once you break it down. Most of the switches should be familiar; only the -J switch is so lengthy.
In the above example, first I apply the mask filter. It picks out portions of the video and ignores the rest. I specified rectangular coordinates for masking. I get a square of 500x500 pixels starting at the top-left corner of the screen. The msharpen filter is one of Transcode's sharpening filters. I tweak the algorithm by specifying the threshold and strength of sharpening. The nored and normalize filters remove red components and normalize the audio, respectively.
You can mix audio and video filters in the same chain. The pp filter does the same thing as MPlayer's postprocessing filter subsystem. Here I am using the same options as given in MPlayer's man page section for pp. It does horizontal and vertical deblocking, deringing and automatic brightness/contrast correction.
When dealing with such a long filter chain, observe the effect of each filter before arriving at something as complex as the above.
This example demonstrates the unsharp filter, which is similar to MPlayer's filter of the same name:
$ transcode -i /home/girish/videos/video.mpg -x vob, -y mjpeg, -J unsharp=amount=-1.5:luma=0.6:matrix=7x7 -o /tmp/foo.mjpeg
And, this command is cool:
$ transcode -i /home/girish/videos/video.mpg -x vob, -y mjpeg, -J text=string='transcode is cool':posdef=2:font=/home/girish/.ttffonts/comicbd.ttf -o /tmp/foo.mjpeg
As shown above, you can add text to a video at any position indicated by the pos coordinates or the posdef predefined locations. Transcode also can render ppml subtitles and play with DVD subtitles.
Because I did not have certain filters and modules, I couldn't try much more. But that's something you can fix by compiling Transcode yourself. As you can see here, Transcode is powerful stuff, but it can be unfriendly to beginners. Once you get a firm grip on its power, you can blow the top off GUI tools and commercial alternatives that come with a huge price tag.

As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

We got samples of this at a surf contest - this stuff stays on better than anything I've ever tried, and I've tried EVERYTHING out there for sunscreen. It's thick, goopy, waxy, and gross, but it stays on. Has good sun protection too. My husband doesn't like this one, but I'm a convert. I also liked Ocean Potion's super waterproof version (lighter feel) but honestly, this stuff stays on better.
Surf is the lightest, "cleanest" feeling sunblock I have ever used on my face (and I've tried a ton of them!), and it is the ONLY one I have ever tried which didn't migrate into my eyes - even after an entire day of wear! I have tried so many waterproof and sport sunscreens, and they all have felt greasy and heavy, and they would always end up traveling into my eyes at some point, causing them to water and sting. I squeeze some Surf on the back of my hand, then I use a clean, disposable makeup wedge to smooth on and blend. I can even go right up close to the edge of my eyes without fear! Does not make me break out either. You HAVE to try this stuff - I will never use any other sunscreen again! P.S. Used this on my 9 year old son (who burns) and it stayed on him through an entire afternoon of play at a waterpark! P.S.S. Oh, and I forgot to mention - it's reasonably priced too! If I remember correctly, paid $6-$7 for my tube at Wal-Mart.

By Carmen Gonzalez Even as cloud and managed services grow increasingly central to business strategy and performance, challenges remain. The biggest sticking point for companies seeking to capitalize on the cloud is data security. Keeping data safe is an issue in any computing environment, and it has been a focus since the earliest days of the cloud revolution. Understandably so: a lot can go wrong when you allow valuable information to live outside the firewall.

PSALM 112The Blessed State of the Righteous 1 Praise the Lord!Blessed is the man who fears the Lord,Who delights greatly in His commandments. 2 His descendants will be mighty on earth;The generation of the upright will be blessed. 3 Wealth and riches will be in his house,And his righteousness endures forever. 4 Unto the upright there arises light in the darkness;He is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous. 5 A good man deals graciously and lends;He will guide his affairs with discretion. 6 Surely he will never be shaken;The righteous will be in everlasting remembrance. 7 He will not be afraid of evil tidings;His heart is steadfast, trusting in the Lord. 8 His heart is established;He will not be afraid,Until he sees his desire upon his enemies. 9 He has dispersed abroad,He has given to the poor;His righteousness endures forever;His horn will be exalted with honor. 10 The wicked will see it and be grieved;He will gnash his teeth and melt away;The desire of the wicked shall perish.cannot find, try: Psalms 109:10 ( NKJV Notes ) NKJV Copyright

Hello everyone! This is a combined family history page for both my paternal and maternal lines. Please know that i will update the lineages as often as info and time are found. The major surnames involved in my genealogy research are: Foy Kalista Krakora Roderick and Roughley on the paternal side, and Harris Dunn Spencer and Doty on the maternal side. Yes, I'm quite a mutt! The Foys were probably Ireland to England to NY. Kalistas and Krakoras were probably Bohemia to Vienna to NY. One of them may have been Russian gypsys. Rodericks are probably from Portugal to NY, with maybe a stop in England first. There's supposed to be a pirate on this line somewhere. Roughleys, from what I have found, are England, probably Manchester, Lancashire area, to NY. The Harris and Dunn lines combined. Harris' are mainly from Wisconsin with roots in England? I'm also an Edward Doty - Mayflower descendent, thru his son Edward. The Spencers are the ones from England. (Yes, the Diana Spencer clan) Please feel free to contact me if you think we may have a connection. And thanks to all who have contributed, for without you, this could not have happened! If you are family on the Foy Kalista Krakora Roderick Roughley side, please let me know! We have family reunions all the time, and I would love to meet you there! Usually the reunions are upstate NY, but other places are tried from time to time. For 2007, we're going from NY to Ireland! Let me know if you're interested! Remember, when you shake your family tree, watch out for the nuts that will fall! Happy hunting all! CJ Foy |

Daily News on Nuclear, Biological & Chemical Weapons, Terrorism and Related Issues
Moldova Busts Suspected Uranium Traffickers
Moldova on Friday announced it had taken into custody seven people suspected of participating in the black-market trade of uranium and various types of weaponry, Reuters reported.
"We have documented numerous cases involving shipments of hand grenades, TNT blocks, Kalashnkikov assault rifles, rocket-propelled grenade (RPG) launcher charges and containers with radioactive uranium 235," said Vitalie Briceag, who leads the investigations unit of the Moldovan Interior Ministry.
Briceag did not discuss specifics regarding where the potential nuclear-weapon material came from or to whom it might have been sold.
"We are trying to find out how they acquired (the weapons)," he said.
Germany, Ukraine and the United States supported a probe that led to the May sentencing in Moldova of three suspects in a uranium 235 smuggling case.
The current investigation centers on a crew in the breakaway region of Transdniestria, which has been essentially separate from Moldova for two decades. The sector is a "black hole" for the trafficking of weapons and other items, according to the central Moldovan government. Officials in Transdniestria reject that claim.
