The mommy-to-be dressed her bump in green — but did this look really flatter her growing figure? VOTE on whether the look was a maternity must or a major step in the wrong direction!
Kim Kardashian hasn't had an easy time finding the perfect pregnancy clothes, but she looked phenomenal when she stepped out for the MTV Movie Awards in LA on April 14! Clad in a form-fitting black Elizabeth + James dress, she put her bump on full display in a sexy silhouette that was neat and chic — and definitely a step in the right direction! Just as she dressed to impress on Sunday, she once again let us down with her latest look. The 32-year-old reality star stepped out in a form-fitting silhouette, (a signature style for curvaceous Kim), but it wasn't the best dress for her pregnant body.
Kim Kardashian Pregnancy Fashion:
The high-neckline on the tight dress made Kim look barrel-chested, while the cap-sleeves cut off her arms in an unflattering way. The fabric of the frock was so tight it was visibly pulling — something that's really hard to hide when you're wearing such a bright jewel-tone! Don't get me wrong, I'm so happy to see Kim embrace color in an ensemble that isn't black or white, but at the same time I think she should have sized up if she really ha her heart set on wearing the vibrant frock. However, even if she had sized up the fabric of the dress just isn't right for her pregnant figure.
To finish off the look, Kim stuck with the green theme and paired the dress with suede, laser-cut open-toe booties that matched the dress perfectly. While I'm all for having a monochrome moment, the thin heel of the shoe isn't the most comfortable option — although it doesn't look like this pregnant star has any plans on packing her sky-high pumps away anytime soon!
While this definitely isn't one of her worst looks, it still isn't one of my fave maternity moments for the star. Kim, there's nothing wrong with flaunting your baby bump and your new, mommy-to-be curves, but please opt for a breathable, stretchy fabric! I'm uncomfortable just looking at the reality star! I loved her look at the MTV Movie Awards because it was sexy and still looked comfortable — and that's what I hope to see from the star as her pregnancy progresses!
What do you think? Are you loving Kim's form-fitting maternity fashion statement or do you wish she wore something a little more practical for her ever-growing body? VOTE and let us know!

Is anybody really that dumb? It is Kim K we are talking about here but it is hard to believe that even Kim is stupid enough to think she looks good in the choices she is making for the most part. She must be doing it all on purpose – I thought she was going to turn to Kourt for help but apparently that didn't work out – Kourt's maternity clothes are probably too small for Kim, lol. Or else Kourt is getting back at Kim by telling her how good she looks in the ridiculous outfits she's been wearing. She still looks just fat, not pregnant to me and I've been pg 6 times so I have a little insight. Also, what 6 month pregnant woman goes to the gym every day? Know any? I don't!

People are worried about Amanda Bynes losing her sanity — Kimmie is one clown costume away from a total mental breakdown. Seriously, who in their right mind (pregnant or not) would wear such an unflattering, skin-tight, Kermit-colored, ridiculous ensemble!!?? Forget a stylist — call a psychiatrist!

How can ANYONE say this look looks good. Looks like she's carrying twins back in her ever so generous trunk. Why does this woman feel that this look when one is pregnant looks pretty, sexy, neat, or decent? She has to be going out and spending money on more and more very ugly dresses, since we have to see this inane style show every day. This is one of the worst yet. She wins the ugly prize for being the worst-dressed expectant mother in America. She has lost so much respect from the few remaining fans still sticking up for her, and it is no wonder. She should probably let Suri Cruise dress her..
I LOVE the way you LIE!

Letters to the Editor - Dec. 13, 2012
Thursday, December 13, 2012 Ironic
To the editor: I've read that some members — rank and file — of the Catholic Church are upset over their faith's spending in advertisements against gay persons; including marriage and parental rights for them.
They also fight to roll back women's rights in this and other countries, to the detriment of many women's — and children's — lives and health.
Diane M. Starkey Sworn In!
In about two weeks we will receive our committee assignments. Already we have learned the uniqueness of how New Hampshire does business. Every bill — EVERY bill, more than 1,000 of them each year — gets a public hearing before a committee. Committee deliberations and votes, just like full house discussions and votes, are done publicly. Interested parties encouraged to testify and to sit in and listen to all deliberations. As a matter of respect to our constituents, our state, and our colleagues, we are expected to dress in business attire when we are in committee and on session day. We anticipate that we will be in Concord three days a week, Tuesday — Thursday. For this we receive the handsome compensation of $100/year, toll-free driving in New Hampshire, and mileage reimbursement on the days we drive our personal cars to Concord.
Perhaps most encouraging of all, one message from leadership and our experienced colleagues was widespread and strongly voiced. That is that we are in the legislature to work together for the good of our State and the people of New Hampshire. That is the "middle ground" we intend to seek, the way we commit to seek solutions. We expect to experience both agreement and differences among ourselves and with our colleagues in both parties. Our intention is to find ways to build those differences into solutions that foster the common good, a common good we can all appreciate. Fiscal cliff
To the editor: In judging what is happening in Washington with the so-called "fiscal cliff" there are two important factors that are being overlooked in the public debate.
Yet it appears that many Republicans have forgotten the "temporary" and continue to insist — despite all evidence to the contrary — that we must have more of the same. Taxes should not be returned to the pre-Obama levels or, in fact, raised to any degree (the "pledge").
All the indiscriminate budget cuts of "sequestration", the potential increase in employment taxes, the uncertainty of budget planning at the state level — all of it — is the creature of Congress, not the President. Unfortunately, not every state had the same good sense as New Hampshire in getting rid of the Representatives who supported this approach, and the burden now falls on the Republican "leaders" in the House and Senate to deal with the problem They could start by admitting how they got there in the first place. |

London, Sep 8 Hip-hop star Nicki Minaj's new fragrance bottle is an "extension" of her personality. It also has a pink plastic wig.
The bottle for Minaj's new scent, Pink Friday, comes in two pieces – the bottom part is a white bustier torso with a gold nameplate necklace and the top part is a silver head with long pink plastic hair.
"They asked me, 'What do you feel is a real extension of you?' And I said, 'There's nothing more synonymous with Nicki Minaj than a pink wig. If I could get that on the bottle, that would really make me feel like this fragrance is a part of me – my history and my future," femalefirst.co.uk quoted Minaj as saying.

Asus also reports that it has determined "Eee" stands for "Easy, Excellent, and Exciting." It had previously determined that Eee stood for "Easy to learn, Easy to work, Easy to play."

Since this server is going to be on both sides of your firewall, and set up to forward traffic into your network, it's a good idea to secure the box as well as you possibly can. You can read up more on Linux security in the Linux Security HOWTO. In this case I killed everything but sshd and a Roxen Web server. I use the web server to download a couple of files (my scripts, etc) for setting up new machines to access the VPN. I don't use an FTP server since it's harder to configure one to be secure than it is to just make a few files available with a web server. Plus, I only need to be able to download files. If you really want to run different servers on your gateway, you might want to think about restricting access to them to only those machines on your private network.
So how do you do that? It requires editing the /etc/passwd file. The second field contains either the password hash, or alternatively 'x' telling the authentication system to look in the /etc/shadow file. What you do is change that field to read "*" instead. This tells the authentication system that there is no password, and that none should be allowed.
Here's how a typical /etc/passwd file looks:
... nobody:x:65534:100:nobody:/dev/null: mwilson:x:1000:100:Matthew Wilson,,,:/home/mwilson:/bin/bash joe:*:504:101:Joe Mode (home),,,:/home/vpn-users:/usr/sbin/pppd bill:*:504:101:Bill Smith (home),,,:/home/vpn-users:/usr/sbin/pppd frank:*:504:101:Frank Jones (home),,,:/home/vpn-users:/usr/sbin/pppd ... |
Note that I've done more than just editing the second field. I'll explain the other fields later on.

Yeah, well i binded my V120d02 once and set the TX down. Went and got a sandwich and came back and knocked the throttle stick. It went flying across the room. That was fun. Just be safe, thats all i can say. I'm guilty myself. |

Are you sure you could control your v450 with your devo 10, or is it possible, that it was bound only to his devo 7? In theory the rx cannot be bound to two different transmitters wether they use the same fixed id or auto-bound, because the transmittion is kinda encrypted (XOR-ed) with the rf chip's manufacturer id, which should be unique for each chip. However you can easily control two or more models with one transmitter if they all use auto binding or have the same fixed id... About the second message: Beware, the original devo firmwares stay bound when you change models! They continue sending the new data with the previous id wether it was random or fixed! However, even this way, you could control a second model only if it has the same fixed id, because it has very small chance to generate the same id, which it used before, and it won't send binding packages, so only a model with fixed id could "join in". Make sure your every model using a different fixed id! |

Yep - I really need to practice my TH-ing... but this I think comes more with real flying practice rather than anything else... I always wonder in cases like that whether I could have saved it if I'd really stayed calm and panicked a little less. A bit of forward elev and I would have stopped the rearward flight and maybe got a hover back... again - real life practice is required...

Good old throttle hold , i have been practicing this for 2 weeks now. I can take heli up ,on sim, to as high as i can and land under no power everytime now. Even inverted autos, but only on sim, and i may never do it as a trick , but its a must to learn if the worst happens. I auto every time i land the 600 , i was told it kills the headspeed, but the 450 doesnt do it lile the 600! Even with my 3800 rpm headspeed lol.

As you say Integrity... only way to do it is to do it for real... problem is I don't crash the V120D02S so often anymore! Maybe I'm not trying hard enough? Parts are on their way from China... should be here in 7~10 days. |

It helps i have been keeping up on oiling everything. But still, from the start you could just tap it's blades and it would set the rotor spinning easy as anything. I can't leave it on top of my car in the wind here because when i come out of my back seat door and lift my head, the wind auto rotating it will clip me in the head!
I had a thought. Did you by any chance adjust the trims on the TX after you bound it? I had an incident where after binding i noticed the rudder trim was pushed far to one side while i was holding the TX. I set it to center and lifted off. The heli started to spin out. I had countered it manually, but i had to give very hard rudder to do so. The gyro had registered the trimmed position as the zero point reference and when i centered the trim it thought the new trim setting was input by me. Make sense? Just a though, and a warning, i suppose. |

Possibly what had happened was that I used a new model and had forgotten to set the Gyro rate to 75% so the first couple of times I tried spooling up it started to spin off the bat but then I realised my error, set the gyro rate and tried again. I didn't rebind, but it shouldn't really make a difference - you should be able to flip between rate and HH without rebinding. Maybe it was vibes affecting the Gyro?... but it flew just fine in a test hover before I took it out... confused... |

well after crashing the v450 the other day....my thoughts of having the v450 as a non-crash heli is gone....initially this is the heli that i would just keep n not crashing it....oh well now i've crashed it once....i didn't bother to look after it while flying anymore.....
so yesterday i took it out and really had some balls flying it with all the 3d moves that i never thought i would have done in real life....so i went on with all the piro flippings and side tic tocs that i've been doing in the sim.... initially it wasn't as smooth and i nearly crashed it again so many times....but all good....i was so happy yesterday i kept telling my gf how i went with flying on the field....n obviously the reaction was....'watever....' =( |
Nov 20, 2012, 05:07 AM | |
Well some good news finally, after my transmitter failure & crash I finally got a test flight in. No more sub-trims on rear pitch & rudder at 45% I did the bind with all trims centered.
The V450 was rock solid & flew around like it was on rails. Now to take it out where I have some more room to fly instead of in this side street next to my house. So I think the original TX had some problems, it would not fly straight & level with the trims centered, I had to compensate so much I ran out of trim, & had to use the sub-trims. I was going to mechanically adjust the links, but the pitch link is a pain to take off. So it looks like I have no need now, this thing is setup perfectly. |

The shape is a forebode of the space age – as many other things designed during the 1950s and 1960s. The rounded corners of the ink windows gives it a both playful and futuristic look.

Initially the crime appeared to be a straightforward but deadly hold-up by a thug attempting to steal the 48-year-old former auto dealer's Rolex watch, valued at $75,000. Since then, however, very little has been straightforward.
José Calvo's image as a wealthy philanthropist who had donated large sums to the Coral Gables Community Foundation faded upon news that, despite the expensive watch and the Mercedes, he was broke, in debt, and had filed for bankruptcy earlier. Then detectives made the startling discovery that Calvo's wife Denise was linked to the alleged murderer, 32-year-old Anthony Craig Lee: She had purchased crack cocaine from Lee's mother, and possibly from Lee himself. Moreover, New Times revealed that Miami police in April 2001 busted Denise for crack possession during an undercover operation at a Grove condo ("The Denise Calvo Mystery," October 2, 2003). She was never prosecuted because the arresting officers twice failed to appear for court hearings.
Now the 40-year-old advertising executive has morphed from devastated widow to reclusive potential accomplice who is no longer cooperating with police. "We haven't named her a suspect, but we haven't ruled her out in that regard," says Miami Police Department spokesman Delrish Moss. "There are a lot of questions we have that only Denise Calvo can answer. And Denise Calvo at this point, through her attorney, has refused to cooperate any further. As a former homicide detective, and working in law enforcement as many years as I have, I find that unusual. Usually family members are chomping at the bit to help us with every little or large thing they can so that we can move forward and resolve the case. That's what family members normally do for people they love."
But what could Denise have gained from her husband's death? She already shared ownership of the $830,000 Calvo residence with José's mother. Denise stood to receive only part of a $1.5 million life-insurance policy José took out in 2002, which also named as beneficiaries José's parents and his two children. Nonetheless intense media coverage of the crime has unleashed some lurid theories -- that Denise desperately set up the robbery to pay off a drug debt, or that she and Lee had become lovers and crazily decided to eliminate José.
Denise Caligiuri Calvo's unexplained reticence is among the subjects addressed in investigative records that have recently become public. The Miami-Dade State Attorney's Office began releasing the documents two weeks ago as part of a standard procedure in criminal prosecutions. The process is known by its legal term, "discovery." Ed Griffith, spokesman for the State Attorney's Office, explains: "Discovery materials are required to be provided to the defense to prepare their case for trial. Statements of witnesses are an important part of any case, and police reports are statements of witnesses."
The reports entered into the court record thus far represent but a fraction of the information gathered by Miami police detectives and Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) agents assisting in the murder investigation. Only FDLE reports have been made public; the sole MPD document released was the arrest report Miami officers filed after Anthony Lee was caught in Orangeburg, South Carolina, in November and charged with first-degree murder and armed robbery.
Most of the investigative reports chronicle efforts to locate Lee and the individuals who helped him flee after the murder. Police chased down tips, traced cell phones, and questioned friends and relatives of Lee as the hunt advanced from his mother Verneka's house in Coconut Grove to a South Dixie Highway motel to a South Beach apartment building and then northward to West Palm Beach, Orlando, Savannah, and finally South Carolina.
One of the FDLE reports reveals that Denise Calvo stopped cooperating with authorities about a week after the murder, despite claims to the contrary by her Miami attorneys, Michael J. Rosen and Joseph Rosenbaum. On October 1 the attorneys faxed a statement to local news media stating: "Denise has fully cooperated with the police and State Attorney's Office in this investigation. She will continue to do so in order to bring to justice the person responsible for her husband's death."
Rosenbaum now acknowledges that Denise is no longer speaking with detectives, but he blames the detectives themselves. "The police don't want to cooperate with her," he contends. Denise provided a sworn statement following the murder, Rosenbaum notes, but the police have refused to give him a transcript of her remarks. "All I asked [the police] was, 'Before she comes in and talks to you again, can I have a copy of it to see what was asked and the answers?' They said, 'No, you can't have it. It's an open, pending investigation.' Well, I don't play games, so I said, 'You know something? If that's your attitude, fuck off.'"
Three of the FDLE reports contain information about Denise. One discloses that on September 1, seventeen days before the murder, she and Lee dialed each other's cell phones twice. "It does not appear that either party spoke with each other, as it appears both phones went to voice mail," the report states. Another report contains a list of items seized during a September 26 search of the Calvo residence at 3901 Crawford Ave. in Coconut Grove.

In the rosebush there are beautiful flowers, but thorns also. A man of kutarka will count the thorns, and then he will come to an understanding that this rose must be illusory; it cannot exist. Amidst so many thorns, millions of thorns, how can a rose exist? It is impossible; the very possibility is denied. Somebody is deceiving.
Mulla Nasruddin was very, very sad. He went to the priest and said, "What to do? My crop is destroyed again - no rains."
The priest said, "Don't be so sad, Nasruddin. Look at the lighter side of life. You can be happy because still you have much. And always believe in God who is the provider. He even provides for birds of the air, so why are you worried?"
Nasruddin said, "Yes!" very bitterly. "Off my corn! God provides for the birds of the air off my corn."
He cannot see the point. His crop is destroyed by these birds, and God is providing for them."and my crop is destroyed." This type of mind will always find something or other, and he will be always tense. Anxiety will follow him like a shadow. This Patanjali calls kutarka - negative logic, negative reasoning.
Then there is tarka - simple reasoning. Simple reasoning leads nowhere. It is moving in a circle because it has no goal. You can go on reasoning and reasoning and reasoning, but you will not come to any conclusion, because reasoning can come to a conclusion only when there is a goal from the very beginning. You are moving in a direction, then you reach somewhere. If you move in all directions - sometimes to the south, sometimes to the east, sometimes to the west - you waste energy.
Reasoning without a goal is called tarka, reasoning with a negative attitude is called kutarka, reasoning with a positive grounding is called vitarka. Vitarka means special reasoning. So vitarka is the first element of sampragyata samadhi. A man who wants to attain to the inner peace has to be trained into vitarka - special reasoning. He always looks to the lighter side, the positive. He counts the flowers and forgets the thorns - not that there are no thorns, but he is not concerned with them. If you love the flowers and count the flowers, a moment comes when you cannot believe in the thorns, because how is it possible where so beautiful flowers exist, how can thorns exist? There must be something illusory.
The man of kutarka counts thorns; then flowers become illusory. The man of vitarka counts flowers; then thorns become illusory. That's why Patanjali says vitarka is the first element; only then bliss is possible. Through vitarka one attains to heaven. One creates one's own heaven all around.
Your standpoint counts. Whatsoever you find around you is your own creation - heaven or hell. And Patanjali says you can go beyond logic and reasoning only through the positive reasoning. Through the negative you can never go beyond because the more you say no, the more you find things to be sad, no, denied. Then, by and by, you become a constant no inside - a dark night, only thorns and no flowers can flower in you - a desert..

Lewis Hamilton…I don't care about the fact that you're chasing supermodels around…I do care that you met the former President of South Africa and peace prize winner Nelson Mandela during his his 90th birthday bash in London. Hamilton even got a one-on-one with Mandela: "When I met him it was like walking in to see the king. To be put in front of god. To me, and millions of others around the world, Nelson Mandela has been a true inspiration and not only that, he's a hero. He has fought bravely, suffered patiently, and forgiven absolutely. Only a truly special man can emerge from 27 years of unjust imprisonment, without rancour and without bitterness, and get straight back to work. Nelson Mandela has taught me the importance of self-belief, integrity, reconciliation and hope. By working together and looking to the future, we can make a difference and we can make a change."
Don't know about you, but I got goose bumps…true to his words, Hamilton has taken his first step towards making this world a little bit better by launching the Lewis Hamilton Foundation. The Lewis Hamilton Foundation (LHF) aims to provide funding to a range of existing charities and good causes while also developing its 'Rise Above It' program. The 'Rise Above It' program is about giving youth and their families access to the tools and the skills to develop their own path for the future by helping them identify their dreams and goals and helping them to achieve their objectives through life experiences and educational programs. The LHF also aims to support existing charities In the following categories: Seriously ill children and young people; Children and young people with disabilities; Helping children and young people out of poverty. (Lewis Hamilton Foundation) Need I say more?
As always, thanks for reading.

Saint of Circumstance LyricsArtist: Grateful DeadAlbum: Go To Heaven You must be the angel, I though I might never find. Was it you I heard singing, Oh while I was chasin' dreams. Driven by the wind, like the dust that blows around, And the rain fallin' down, but I never know. Got to be heaven, cause here's where the rainbow ends. If this ain't the real thing, then it's close enough to pretend. When that wind blows, when the night's about to fall. You can hear the silence call, it's a certain sort of sound, Like the rain fallin' down. Holes in what's left of my reason, holes in the knees of my blues. Odds against me been increasin', but I'll pull through. I never could read no road map, I don't know what the weather might do. But when that rich wind whines and I see the dark star shine, I got a feeling there's no time to lose, no time to lose. Never know now, just don't never know, no. Well it's been heaven, but even the rainbows will end. Now my sails are fillin' and the wind is willin'. And I'm as good as gone again. I'm still walkin', so I'm sure that I can dance. Just a Saint of Circumstance, just a tiger in a trance. And the rain fallin' down, well, you never know, just don't know. Listen, sure don't know what I going for, but I'm gonna go for it for sure...

Airsoft guns are much like any other mechanical appliance or vehicle you own and must be maintained and serviced regularly for safe, continuous and proper operation.

Applying lubricant on the mechanism of an airsoft gun - or any type of gun, for that matter - would help keep the piece working and in tip-top shape. The moving parts of a shooting mechanism can collect grit and other miniscule particles which can be damaging to the whole system. That is why it is important to regularly apply lubricant on the mechanism. :)

Toward Greater Portability: A Quixotic View
Don Quixote: Ahhh, Sancho, think of it! A single GUI interface that would allow me to write my application once and then run it on Windows, OS2 Warp and Linux boxes without changing one line! Maybe even on Alpha and Sun boxes too.
Sancho: But Master, no one can agree on anything. Especially the big embarcaderos. And if they did agree on something like that, it would only be after a hundred years. Or maybe longer. Then I sleep in the earth. May I rest in peace.
[Sancho sometimes transmogrifies vocables when he speaks. It is not clear exactly what he means by "embarcaderos". The meaning probably lies somewhere within the semantic turf demarcated by the concepts "entrepreneurs", "big guys in business", "movers and shakers", or the concept of your choice that denotes mercantile power, grandeur and a touch of narcissism.]
Don Quixote: Have you forgotten the great examples of cooperation? The ones that made computing easier? What about the LIM memory specification? Three giants—your embarcaderos—created one method of accessing memory above one megabyte so that programs could be bigger, faster.
Sancho: Careful, Master. One of the last giants was a windmill.
Don Quixote: Sancho, it was a giant. And remember: I am your master.
Sancho: But Master, just one example. Once is an exception. Proves nada! Twice is a coincidence. Also proves nada. Three times is a pattern. Give a second example!
Don Quixote: You doubter! You miss the best in life because you look down, not up. You overlook great things to discover only the pebbles in your own shoes.
Sancho: Please, Master, the example. A poor man like me does not go far on words and ideas. Please, something concrete!
Don Quixote: Sancho, Sancho! What about STL, the standard template library? Now we all have containers that can be used with almost any ANSI compiler! We cooperated on that! What about the committee that drafted standards for C++? Knights from all over the industry came together. These are great achievements.
Sancho: All right, Master! STL and ANSI standards are both C++. You get credit for one example only. Nothing more. That's number two. So now you have a coincidence.
Don Quixote: Have I made my point?
Sancho: No!! You give three good examples, or I believe in nothing! Nada! Nada!
Don Quixote: Sancho, Sancho, so pedestrian, so little imagination. I fear for your salvation.
Sancho: Master, the example, please!
Don Quixote: Think of Java. Here we have something like the ideal I am thinking of. We write once, we run many. Why? Java is interpreted code. And the interpreter is written for the platform. The application is written for the interpreter. So we run on all platforms.
Sancho: Oh, Master! If Java is interpreted, Java is slower! Slower is not good. Faster is good.
Don Quixote: Exactly! For once you have something right. We need performance and portability.
Sancho: But Master! Where is the cooperation? Sun Microsystems created Java.
Don Quixote: You miss the point. Sun did cooperate. They licensed Java to anyone who agreed not to provincialize the language by creating non-portable, local extensions. Most people respected this agreement. Java was not theirs to take over anyway. So Java is portable, mainly.
Sancho: Master, Master! What is this ahead?
[Sancho and Don Quixote have just reached the crest of a hill, and looking down the other side, they spy a bridge over a small brook. Next to it stands a sign: "Bridge to Cross". Just as they approach the crossing, a Proprietary Troll jumps up from below the bridge onto the road, barring their way.]
Proprietary Troll: I control this bridge, and you must pay toll, or you may not cross.
Don Quixote: Sir, I am a Knight, champion of Dulcinea del Toboso and future keeper of the universal GUI interface. Let us pass, sir!
Proprietary Troll: I control this bridge, and you must pay toll. Heed my words, or you will fare badly.
Don Quixote: Indeed! What will I lose?
Proprietary Troll: Market Share, my Knight, market share!
Don Quixote: [suddenly thoughtful] I see. And what toll do you desire?
Proprietary Troll: Control!
Don Quixote: Of what? You mean the GUI interface? You want to control that too?
Proprietary Troll: That most of all. That is your toll. Give it up, turn it over to me, or you will not pass. I control the bridge, I control the interface and I control you.
Don Quixote: Not so fast, you runt!
Sancho: Master, Master! You forget yourself!
Don Quixote: You forget your bridge is just one miserable, narrow crossing, that your brook is just a tributary of one great, massive stream whose power sweeps us all along, that you can simply be washed away if you fail to meet the needs of travelers who come this way. You overreach yourself! Say, aren't you a little far from Scandinavia?
Proprietary Troll: [puffing himself up and then expelling a lot of hot air] Try to cross without my help. Lose market share. We will see who is swept away!
Don Quixote: Canis culum in tuo naso! We will find another bridge and cross elsewhere. We do not need you to provide a crossing. If need be, we build a bridge of our own.
["Canis culum in tuo naso" is a Latin curse which first occurs in writing in the Old High German period (ca. 850-1050) in a phrase book for travelers which gives Latin phrases and their German equivalents. The Old High German equivalent is: "hundes ars in dine nas".]
Sancho: [to himself] Such nonsense! For windmills he sees giants. Trolls bigger than life. Oh, Lord, give me something small again, a pebble for my shoe!
Don Quixote: Sancho, forget your pebbles! Let us hie ourselves hence and find another crossing.
[Sancho and the Don turn about to find a crossing on another tributary of the great stream. Their thoughts return to the interface.]
Sancho: OK, you gave three examples. Tell me more about your universal gooey face.
Don Quixote: [grimaces at Sancho] Sancho, if I am no longer your master, how will you fill your belly? I said Universal GUI interface, not gooey face. Sometimes I don't think you take me seriously.
Sancho: Sorry, Master! Tell me more about your gooey inter...face.
Don Quixote: That's better. First, the universal GUI interface should be a standard that remains the same from platform to platform just like STL or ANSI C++. The details of the implementation should be hidden from the client because they're platform dependent. This interface means that ideally programs can run on multiple platforms without change.
Sancho: What is the gooey interface supposed to do?
Don Quixote: That's easy. The interface should provide a complete set of tools which perform routine window management tasks and offer all the functionality of the provincial GUI interfaces already in place. These tools should be general enough to be very flexible but powerful enough to compete head-on with the provincial GUI interfaces out there and provide programmers with a serious opportunity to write portable code.
Sancho: Great. But what language will you write this in? Spanish? Portuguese?
Don Quixote: C++ of course! It is object-oriented, supports inheritance, and the details of the implementation can easily be hidden from clients. It is also fast and allows access to the hardware.
Sancho: Can you be more specific? What procedures will your universal gooey interface include to manage a window?
Don Quixote: The details are best left to the Knights who convene to create the interface. All they need to do is decide what functionality the interface should include and then examine the provincial interfaces already in place to see if implementing that functionality is practical.
Sancho: Has anyone ever tried to write a universal gooey interface?
Don Quixote: Not that I know of. [Suddenly the Don is full of himself.] But there is rustling in the woods, voices from under the earth, whisperings in the breeze. A new age may be at hand. [The Don thumps his chest triumphantly as though the battle were already won.]
Sancho: [To himself] What nonsense! [To the Don] What do you mean? Your words are confused....uhhh...excuse, Sire, I mean confusing. Can you give an example?
Don Quixote: No one has tried to write what I speak of exactly but there are movements in that direction. The X Window System has been ported from Linux to OS/2 so that an OS/2 machine can be hooked to a Linux network and run its software. Also, a Windows emulator is being developed for Linux so that Windows applications will run inside Linux even though Linux is not a genuine Windows platform. Finally, programmers in Allemagne have created a conio.h and conio.c implementation that mimics the conio.h and conio.c files in Borland and Watcom C so that PC-DOS programs port more easily to Linux. And there is a PC-DOS emulator for Linux too. These achievements all attempt to allow someone to run a program on a platform it was not written for without changing code, and their common goal is portability.
Sancho: Do you think the knights will be able to do such a thing as the gooey face at all?
Don Quixote: I don't know, but I hope so.
Sancho: What stops them?
Don Quixote: Just a little cooperation.

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.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Dover High School thespians are performing in "Pajama Game" this weekend. Here, cast members dance to "Steam Heat." (Ron Cole/Democrat photo)
DOVER — If the cold winter weather has you looking for a place to warm up, this coming weekend Dover High School is offering a lot of "Steam Heat.""Steam Heat" is a production number in the musical comedy "Pajama Game." The Dover High School Drama Club is presenting the award winning musical this weekend, Friday and Saturday nights as well as a Sunday afternoon matinee."Pajama Game" opened in 1954 on Broadway and had a run of 1,063 performances. Along the way it won Tony awards for Best Musical, Best Featured Actress (Carol Haney) and Best Choreography (Bob Fosse). A movie was made in 1957.The play was done so long ago that not only do none of the high-schoolers in the cast know any of the stars, but most of them do not know of six-time Grammy Award winner Bonnie Raitt. She is the daughter of John Raitt, who played Sid, the male lead.Unfamiliarity with the period did not affect the large cast, however, as enthusiasm and love for the art is carrying them through. Set in the Sleep-Tite Pajama factory, the story is age old — management versus workers.

"It is a lot of hard work, and a challenge managing a large cast, keeping friendships while staying on top of everyone and making sure they are doing the right thing." Alongside Blake was junior Steffany Oliveira, who looks to succeed Blake in that position next year. "I have been involved in theater all my life," said the Brazilian-born Oliveira, "and hope to continue. Watching Jen is marvelous."Because of the many changes in the production many students were involved "backstage." This was evident with Alix Ecker, Kelly Fitzpatrick working the sound board and lights, and Brenna Gosse and Synthia Kykhounkham among others on the large stage crew.Among the many having fun and working hard was freshman Rebecca Cole who opined, "I am making a lot of good friendships, we get close to each other, being late and having fun." Said the statuesque volleyball player, "it is worth it staying late."Hearing Mercereau complimenting her charges on doing their homework when they are not on stage, Cole commented, "that's what I've been doing."
Junior Katrina Winnicki has performed in many productions during her school career and finds, "I like this, I get to hang out with good people, and oh … I love the thrill of being on stage in front of people."Long time performers Zoe Kay and Julia Boudreau, veterans of many theater productions commented on the progress of the cast. "We are definitely headed in the right direction," said Kay. "It is going to be a great show," chimed in Boudreau.To see the show you won't have to go to Hernando's Hideaway and ask for Joe, just go to Dover High School Friday or Saturday night, Feb. 15 and 16 at 7 p.m. or Sunday at 2 p.m. Tickets are $6 for students and seniors and $7 for adults.

The Angel Tree Project is hosting their annual fundraiser, this year a haunted gingerbread house building contest. The fun happens from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at 724 TruemanRd. in Gibsons (next to the United Church). As well as the gingerbread house building, the event includes a silent auction, hot dogs, treats and haunted things.
Prizes will be awarded in several categories: business, organization and school, family and individual as well as a Sunshine Coast people's choice award.
The size is not to exceed 24 inches high, 24 inches wide and 24 inches long. Entries must be placed on a board base (1/2" plywood is suggested). Write your name, town, phone number and entry number on the underside of your base.
Entries can be dropped off the night before (on Friday, Oct. 26) between 5 and 7:30 p.m. or on Saturday morning between 7:30 and 9:30 a.m.
Include with your entry two typed 3" by 5" cards with a description of your design and include any unique features or materials used in the construction process. The top of your card should have the name of your gingerbread entry and entry number. Do not include your name in the name of your gingerbread entry; doing so will disqualify you from the contest.Attach one copy to your display and one copy with your name and entry number on the second copy to the organizers' table.
Except for the base, entries must be constructed and composed of edible materials.The main structure should be constructed primarily of gingerbread. The best of gingerbread house decorating is limited only by your imagination and how much candy you can get on there.The theme for this year is ahaunted gingerbread house. The house can be of any shape or design, as long as it has a roof, is made of gingerbread and candy and looks haunted in some way.
Judging will be held on Saturday, Oct. 27, by 11 a.m.The people's choice award will be announced at the end of the event so each person has a chance to vote on their favourite. Judges' decisions are final; announcements will be made at the end of the event at 3 p.m.
For more information, rules and regulations and an official registration form, call 604-886-2998 or 604-886-2333, or check Facebook: Angel Tree Project.

Eco Fun Day
Date: 4/27/2010More than 300 6th grade students from the nearby Gateway School for Agriculture, Science, and Ecology at Millmont Elementary participated in Eco Fun Day at Angelica Park on Friday, April 23. As part of a week-long celebration of Earth Day, the students were treated to an enlightening nature trail winding its way the wetland.
Wetland plants, wildlife, and environmentally-themed activities were showcased at ten different stations along the trail, manned by professors, undergraduate and graduate students, and volunteers representing community organizations.
The proposed Environmental Education Center for the community
and local colleges and universities was also highlighted during the day, with a groundbreaking event for the temporary Environmental Education Center at the Angelica boathouse.
Visitors will learn the history of the park, and about the committee working toward seeing the old boathouse site and the new wetlands.
The event was coordinated by Alvernia's science department, with representatives from the science club, environmental club, and the Angelica Environmental Education Center Committee.
- History: Established as a private four-year liberal arts college in 1958, Alvernia celebrated its 50th year by being awarded university status in 2008.

Avicii and Nicky Romero have released a fun video for their track I Could Be The One and we think it's hilarious and fun but it also carries a very interesting message: you can be the reason for your own happiness (sounds like a Phoebe Dykstra tweet!). Watch as our main protagonist daydreams her way into Barbados, a paradise where she can act and be as happy as she wants, while she's stuck in her current reality of a perpetual hell at work with bullies and monotony. The video also heeds some warning though: follow your bliss before it is too late. Watch the video below!
Warning: this video, while fun, is super explicit. Viewer's discretion is advised.

How do you like your headphone sound: Accurate or bassy?
Most of the headphones I've tested over the years weren't designed to have a neutral balance of bass, midrange, and treble frequencies. Manufacturers are well aware that most people like bass, and that buyers tend to favor one headphone over another based on how much bass it produces. I think that's obvious, but a recent study cited in Brent Butterworth's blog countered that assumption. "The Relationship between Perception and Measurement of Headphone Sound Quality," a paper by Sean Olive and Todd Welti presented at last October's Audio Engineering Society convention found that a … Read more
