Maharishi Institute Turns Three!
On 18 June the Maharishi Institute ('MI') turned 3-years old!! It was wonderful to reflect on the progress we've made over the past 3-years in providing funding and access to education through our international and local partners.
Establishment of 21st Century Learning Labs: Maharishi Institute is supporting the development of a remedial bridging program (to bridge the gaps in English and Maths) with partners Media-Works and Learning Resources through the creation of 21'st Century Learning Labs, designed to create a completely personalized learning experience for each student, which allows individualized growth in the fastest possible manner. In routine admissions tests, only 1 out of 100 students will score Grade 9 or above on English and maths, even though all have Grade 12 certificates.
These state-of-the-art learning labs pioneer the concept of mass personalization in learning: harnessing the 'Human Technology' and 'Information Technology' revolution to bridge students from poor high school education.
Unlimited High speed Internet through Neotel
Thanks to Neotel's generous 75% reduction in installation fees and 67% reduction in monthly fees, Maharishi Institute installed high-speed broadband to be accessed by all students for their international and local distance studies. Neotel has guaranteed 99.9% up-time. This created huge excitement for students, many of whom had never used the internet.
Major Campaign to Get 350+ Computers
With broadband in place, a major campaign was held to raise the funds for more computers for the Institute, for both distance education programmes and Invincible Outsourcing call centre. An overwhelming result was achieved when the marketing department successfully raised R300,000 in only 3 days to purchase 350 computers from the UK. We were so incredibly excited when 25 donors, both individuals and companies, came forward to support . Thank you very much to major donors in the campaign: Trencon Construction who sponsored 130 computers and Saville Foundation, our founding funders, who sponsored 100 computers!
21 Cisco routers were donated by Cisco and the Datatec Foundation. These arrived in August providing the final piece of the puzzle necessary to get the computer networks fully up and running.
CEO of Don Group visits his Kitchen
Thabiso Tlelai, CEO of the Don Hotel Group, had lunch in his R300,000 industrial kitchen that was donated by The Don and Legacy Hotel Groups last year. Before that we were cooking for 200 people daily on 2 small R100 hot plates! Maharishi Institute provides a hot meal at lunch daily.
Registered Microsoft Academy
A registered as a Microsoft Academy was established with access to over 100 Microsoft e-learning courses and another 50 Microsoft office licenses
Income-Generation Programme
With the correct infrastructure in place it is now possible to begin work on our Income Generation programmes. We signed a partnership for new data capture work with a US-based company "Samasource". Ongoing data-capture will flow out of this partnership, and will supplement income from the 'voice-side' of Invincible Outsourcing. Several very exciting possibilities for income generation through Invincible Outsourcing are in process and will be announced soon!
BEE Empowerment Fund Gets Full Black Ownership Status
Our first Black-Economic Fund, Community Individual Development Trust (C.I.D.T.), the BEE Fund for Community Individual Development Association, was awarded full black ownership status by NERA rating agency. This is great news and provides full black-ownership scores to the companies in the Trust, including amongst others, The Performance Hub (51% owned) and POD (25% owned). Some wonderful BEE deals coming up soon. Stay tuned!
Bromide-EOH and HP Donate 50-New HP Computers

Current Time
Concierge.com's insider take:
Hotelier-designer team Tim and Kit Kemp opened this hotel in 2004. Of their flawless six-pack of welcoming, contemporary hotels, the Soho may be even more glamorous than their best-known Covent Garden Hotel. This is partly because the location attracts Soho's floating population of ad and film industry types (and the occasional Hollywood star), but mostly because Kit Kemp's styling just keeps getting better. The 91 rooms have taupe and bisque stripes, velvet loveseats, white matelassé bedcovers, custom faux–flea market dressers, Kemp's signature vintage-styled radios, and gorgeous bathrooms of brindled granite and oak. Downstairs are more Kempian trademarks: the pair of parlors for entertaining guests—and selves—complete with log fires, a cornucopian honor bar with snacks, and more Deco-inspiration than the grooviest shelter mag. There's the bar-restaurant, Refuel, with its fun mural of a parking garage (this building's implausible former occupant), a great little gym, and two beauty-service rooms, two private movie theaters, and—on first entering the sunny brick-colored lobby with its river-stone–covered pillars—a ten-foot high welcome cat, which happens to be a bronze by Botero. Top style and people-watching in every cranny.

This brilliant conversion of a parking garage into a stunning 91-room hotel continues the Firmdale hotel group's unbroken winning streak (it has five other London hotels). The gorgeous public rooms include a huge lounge, a small library with an honor bar, and a restaurant, Refuel, that offers exactly the kind of all-day dining (smoked salmon and blinis; tagliatelle with lobster, tomatoes, and tarragon) that the global style-and-media tribe find tempting (24-hour room service has a similarly tasty menu). Rooms mix antique and modern pieces to create a look that is at once louche, elegant, and luxurious.2005 Hot ListView the entire Hot List of the travel world's most noteworthy debuts in 2005 ›

New York, June 7, 2012--The Committee to Protect Journalists welcomes the conviction in the 2011 murder of Salvadoran cameraman Alfredo Antonio Hurtado Núñez, but calls on authorities to ensure that the other gunman charged for the crime is brought to justice.
]]>New York, March 10, 2011--The Committee to Protect Journalists welcomes Wednesday's sentencing of 11 defendants in the brutal 2009 slaying of Christian Poveda, left, a French photojournalist and filmmaker who had spent decades documenting gang violence in El Salvador. Twenty other suspects, accused of being accomplices, were acquitted.
Chamagua, owner of the San Salvador-based Radio Mi Gente and host of political news show "Hablando Con Mi Gente" (Talking to my people), has received several death threats that extend to his family and employees. Chamgaua told CPJ that he believes the threats are linked to the station's critical reporting on the Salvadorian government.
]]>During a clash between protesters and local police near the western city of Santa Ana, Mármol, a photographer for the San Salvador-based daily La Prensa Gráfica,and Nolasco, a reporter for the national TV station Canal 21, were attacked by protesters and the anti-riot unit of the local police.

Was just reading about the Walther P99 on Impact Guns....this is an excerpt about the hammer:
"Its design incorporates solutions to the requirements of on-duty use, combining the many advantages of a hammerless pistol with the comfort of one equipped with a hammer."
What exactly are the advantages of a hammerless pistol and what do they mean by the "comfort" of one with a hammer???

MOTIVATION: Computational annotation of protein coding genes in genomic DNA is a widely used and essential tool for analyzing newly sequenced genomes. However, current methods suffer from inaccuracy and do poorly with certain types of genes. Including additional sources of evidence of the existence and structure of genes can improve the quality of gene predictions. For many eukaryotic genomes, expressed sequence tags (ESTs) are available as evidence for genes. Related genomes that have been sequenced, annotated, and aligned to the target genome provide evidence of existence and structure of genes. RESULTS: We incorporate several different evidence sources into the gene finder AUGUSTUS. The sources of evidence are gene and transcript annotations from related species syntenically mapped to the target genome using TransMap, evolutionary conservation of DNA, mRNA and ESTs of the target species, and retroposed genes. The predictions include alternative splice variants where evidence supports it. Using only ESTs we were able to correctly predict at least one splice form exactly correct in 57% of human genes. Also using evidence from other species and human mRNAs, this number rises to 77%. Syntenic mapping is well-suited to annotate genomes closely related to genomes that are already annotated or for which extensive transcript evidence is available. Native cDNA evidence is most helpful when the alignments are used as compound information rather than independent positionwise information. AVAILABILITY: AUGUSTUS is open source and available at http://augustus.gobics.de. The gene predictions for human can be browsed and downloaded at the UCSC Genome Browser (http://genome.ucsc.edu).

Fishing in Dalaran (The Eventide Fountain)
Open Water Skill:
525 to fish open water without junk. Pools can be fished effectively with skill 1.Notes:
The fountain behind the fishing trainer contains fishable water. Casts that land at the edge of the water (on the bricks or rocks) catch a fish from Dalaran's Underbelly (forum topic). A junk-quality item may be caught here when your skill is high enough to avoid junk - Bent Fishing Hook. Catching this does not automatically mean your skill is too low.Achievements:
- The Coin Master: Complete these fishing achievements: A Penny For Your Thoughts, Silver in the City, and There's Gold In That There Fountain. Awards the "Titanium Seal of Dalaran".
- A Penny For Your Thoughts: Fish up all the Copper Coins from the Dalaran fountain.

- There's Gold In That There Fountain: Fish up all the Gold Coins from the Dalaran fountain.
Water and Area | Fish | Catch Rate | Notes | Other Catches | ||
% of Catch | Sample | |||||
Open Water - Inland | Fountain Goldfish | 41-67% | 817 | Lucky buff reduces catch rate | - | |
Copper Coin | 13-28% | Lucky buff increases catch rate | ||||
Silver Coin | 8-17% | Lucky buff increases catch rate | ||||
Gold Coin | 6-10% | Lucky buff increases catch rate | ||||
Bent Fishing Hook | 5% | - |
With the Lucky buff (gained by throwing a Gold Coin back into the fountain - see Dalaran Fishing), the catch rate of coins approximately doubles, and the catches of other items are reduced by a third. Casts from the edge of the fountain may gain a fish from Dalaran's Underbelly - the sewer is leaking!
Fishing in Dalaran (The Underbelly)
Open Water Skill:
525 to fish open water without junk. Pools can be fished effectively with skill 1.Notes:
The Underbelly is the name of the sewers beneath Dalaran. Several junk-quality items may be caught here when your skill is high enough to avoid junk - Drowned Rat and Partially Eaten Fish. Catching these does not automatically mean your skill is too low.Quests:

Comments about Dalaran
Below are readers' comments about "Dalaran":
Dalaran really 525?
Kemtgor, November 2008
Just curious if this is really the skill to avoid getaways... I'm sitting ~515, but I got all of 12 catches fishing for 10 minutes chain-casting. Even if each took 20 seconds, which it didn't, that's still 20% while only 10 skill short. Was I just having awful luck, or is it higher?
Jbz, November 2008
Yep, its 525.
Thats pretty terrible luck.
metameat, June 2010
It is confirmed: you can catch the Giant Sewer Rat while fishing in the Eventide Fountain. I caught one before I managed to find my last gold coin on my level 15 Alt:
http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=The+Underbog&cn=RincewindI started fishing in the fountain at fishing level 1. Leveled all the way to 450 trying to get the Coin Master. The only place I have fished was that fountain. Woot!

Casts that land at the edges of the fountain catch Underbelly fish. Hence it is possible to catch a Giant Sewer Rat there, but only if your casts land at the edge. Much easier to catch it from the Underbelly itself.
hoooyeeeaaa, June 2010
Thanks for that tip el I'm gonna start the coin master soon myself good to know you can go for the sewer rat at the same time.
el, June 2010
Hoooyeeeaaa - in this case, it is more effective to fish separately for each. When fishing in the fountain, you'll want fountain catches all the time, otherwise you waste part of the benefit of the gold coin lucky buff. The lucky buff won't buff Underbelly catches like the Sewer Rat - it only applies to fountain catches like coins. It's also far easier to fish for the Sewer Rat in the Underbelly itself, because there's a lot more water to choose from.
Ravenous, December 2010
I was just fishing in Dalaran Fountain, trying to get the coins.
I had a fishing skill of 570 (Skill(450) +Rod(40) +Hat(5) +Lure(75))
I still managed to get a Bent Fish Hook... and that was while I had the Coin Buff as well
When I got the hook, I made sure my Lure was still attached.
This tells me that either a) 525 is not the cap, b) the cap is not 100% and there is always a small chance of getting junk, or c) The coin buff bugs out the skill cap, and causes players to be able to catch junk when they have the buff.
Perhaps there's another explanation? Any further info on this would be appreciated.
el, December 2010
Bent Fishing Hooks are not skill-related junk.
There are very specific items of junk that are caught due to insufficient skill, listed on (Not) Catching Junk. All other junk items are successful catches.
Unfortunately when junk catches replaced fish that got away in patch 3.1, junk items that were already in the water were not changed. Confusion is inevitable.

Confusion is inevitable.That essentially means that "b) the cap is not 100% and there is always a small chance of getting junk" is true... although each location may vary in it's junk that is not avoidable (and may or may not have unavoidable junk)... Bent Fishing Hook, is trash that will not be removed from the Fountain's 'loot table', no matter how high your skill level is.
el, December 2010
Incorrect logic. If you fish with skill 1 you will catch a lot of skill-related junk, but have almost no chance of catching a Bent Fishing Hook.
Think of having 2 completely separate loot tables. (1) is the skill-related junk table, (2) the successful catch table. Bent Fishing Hook are on the successful catch table. If your effective skill is 525 or above, the successful catch table is always used. If your effective skill is below 525, there's a chance of the skill-related loot table being used. The more below, the greater the chance. The catch isn't based on "whether an item is junk", it's based on which loot table is selected.
(Obviously that's simplified for the fountain, since the coin buff effectively adds an extra dimension to the successful loot table.)
Ravenous, December 2010
My logic is not incorrect. It is not how you view it, but it is accurate.
Bent Fishing Hooks are junk... they will not be removed from the loot table in Dalaran's Fountain, regardless of your skill level.
Perhaps I shouldn't state that there is "always" a chance of getting junk... but that some fishing locations will always have their own chance of getting junk, regardless of your skill.
el, December 2010
I suppose it depends how you look at it! From my perspective, Bent Fishing Hooks are almost avoidable by having low skill, and the chance of catching them increases with skill up to 525. In the vast majority of places there aren't any junk-quality items in the regular (successful) loot table, so there are no junk catches of any kind once you reach the skill threshold,

Giant Sewer Rat in the Dalaran Fountain?
Extreme Angler Velen, April 2009
So i was fishing for the coins today in the Dakaran Fountain when i came across our furry little friend at first i was happy because i finally caught the rat, but then a friend of mine and a fellow fisherman pointed out that i shouldn't of been able to catch the rat in the Fountain. So i decided to post it here to see if this happened to anyone else..
P.s I'll post up a screen shot as soon as i find it in my SS folder >.<
Extreme Angler Velen, April 2009
Screen Shot Inc....
Antonine, April 2009
The edges of the fountain count as the Underbelly. Don't worry, it wasn't a glitch. We've always known that you could catch a rat there in theory, it's just unlikely. Congrats, I've been wanting to see that happen in awhile!
On another note, I wouldn't recommend showing the screen shot on the WoW forums. You could have easily caught it in the underbelly before heading up to the fountain to take the screenshot (as there's a significant amount of time between the catch and the shot)

Gazsvyaz, April 2009
Yep. If youll notice sometimes you catch other underbelly fish in the fountain edges. sewer carp and picked clean bones, etc.
Fishing for chickens, September 2010
My son-in-law caught the Sewer rat in the fountain (darn it, i still don't have it.)
It's required that your bobber land "in the wall" so to speak... I haven't caught anything from the sewers in the fountain, but my daughter caught a fountain goldfish "in the wall" of the sewers once.Rockliner, January 2011
Woot, I was able to catch the rat last night! 290 total Casts!
I was just getting ready to go do something else too!
FrozenIron, June 2011

Dalaran fishing >580 to stop junk
Speeddymon, June 2009
Just was doing the fishing daily 'Jewel of the Sewers' today and I caught junk with a +100 lure and my Mastercraft Kalu'Ak Fishing Pole, with stock skill of 450.
With just those on, my fishing is 580, so it seems that to completely stop junk catches you may need 590, not 525 as the guide states. At any rate, I have not managed to bag the Giant Sewer Rat yet and I'm thinking that the junk I caught today was just that :-(
Anyone else experience this?
X-Rok, June 2009
the trash you got, it was the Drowned Rat, yes? I'm pretty sure that's a normal loot item for the sewers, i see it on a regular basis when i'm fishing for that daily...
Azaguth, June 2009
Having fished the sewers before 3.1 and the "junk", I was catching the drowned rat without getaways.

Speeddymon, June 2009
Actually, this was weeds that I caught.. I knew the drowned rat was part of the loot table as I had caught that in the sewers when trying for the Giant Rat as well..
Noodleguitar, June 2009
Strange. I fished those sewers for 1000+ casts with 527 fishing skill and never caught any junk (unless I forgot to re-apply my +25 lure) apart from the greys which are only fished up from there.
gotkevin, June 2009
I use +75 lures trying to hook the rat... Fishing is @ 558 (568 with Lager). Got about 4.5 hours logged, close to 1k casts... no Giant Rat. Had three others hook em around me :(
9 Hours fished
2k + casts
NO RAT! UgggReply

Slightly OT: Getting to Dalaran
Noor, September 2008
While the obvious/easiest way would be to ask a level 74+ mage for a portal, a level 71 mage (who can teleport to Dalaran) or any player in Dalaran (seen with /who dalaran) can get you there, assuming Blizzard doesn't change this:
1. Group
2. Have the person in Dalaran queue up as a group in all battlegrounds with the Dalaran battlemaster
3. Enter first BG that comes up
4. /afk out of the BG (or play it out) and you come back out at the Dalaran battlemaster.LinkyKeram, September 2008
Hopefully yes, that a mage can yust teleport you there, as pepol did this in BC's Shattrath :D
el, September 2008
I believe the battleground "trick" requires you to be at least 70, since you need to be in the correct bracket (but I'm not sure what the lowest level is for AV now). I still don't understand why Blizzard insist on a level 74 quest for personal entry, but yet allow level 1s to portal/summon in.

Noor, September 2008
Right, the BG invite trick requires that you all be in the same level bracket, presumably 70-79 (or in some BGs 71-80?), similar to the current brackets.
I bring it up because you'll see level 71 mages a lot sooner than level 74 mages after the WotLK launch; once level 74 mages are common, portals will be the usual method again. But there should be level 71 mages after a couple of days or so, while you won't see 74s much until a couple of weeks have gone by. And there's fishin' in Dalaran!
Wyzo, May 2010
I first went to Dalaran at level 39, but it could be done at just about any level. Here's how:
First, I made sure all of my items were at 100% durability. I took the ship from Stormwind Harbor to Valiance Keep. I left the keep and found the first thing to attack. I was killed. I then ghost ran from the graveyard down the road towards Dragonblight. I ghost ran through Dragonblight to Crystalsong Forest.
Once you cross the border into Crystalsong forest, you get a spirit mount. You then fly as high as you can. When you get above Dalaran, you lose the spirit mount and drop in the city. I went as close as I could to the Violet Citadel because once you drop into the city, you need to go to the right of the stairs leading up to the Violet Citadel (as you're looking up the stairs). In the small graveyard there beside the Violet Citadel is a Spirit Healer.
Log out, log back in.
Get resurrected then go to the Silver Enclave and leave your hearthstone.
I just completed my Coin Master Achievement. Man, it takes forever to get all those coins and I must have fished up every other coin at least four times, and some five or six times, before I got Archimonde's Gold Coin.

PUBLISHED: 08 Oct 2010 12:55:44 | UPDATED: 09 Oct 2010 04:43:51PRINT EDITION: 08 Oct 2010
Shares in White Rock Minerals dipped in their first day of trade on the Australian stock exchange, but debuted at a substantial premium to the issue price.
Its shares were 36¢ at 12.38pm AEDT, down from an open of 37¢.
White Rock raised $5 million from its initial public offer of 16.66 million shares at 30¢ a share.
The company holds the Mt Carrington gold, silver and copper exploration project in northern NSW and was recently demerged from Rex Minerals, which is focused on the Pine Point copper belt in South Australia.
White Rock said in its prospectus that Mt Carrington was under-explored, but had existing shallow resources of 190,000 ounces of gold and 10.5 million ounces of silver.
"White Rock considers this a unique opportunity to capitalise on developing the potential of this significant goldfield which has remained out of the spotlight for almost two decades," chairman Brian Phillips said in the prospectus.

Silly Question but Who Has Right of Way in Parking Lot?
Another post reminded me of this. There are crosswalks from the stores to the actual parking lots where I live. So to cross the "road" to the parking lot, I either wait until it's clear or use a crosswalk. If I'm in the crosswalk, I think cars should stop. But people just walk into the "road" from all over whenever they feel like crossing and it bugs me. I think they should wait or use a crosswalk. Typically I'm going slowly and just wave them on but there are people who don't even consider I may not stop and they certainly don't wave a thanks or hurry along. Am I wrong? Is everyone ok just crossing wherever and whenever? Just curious.
Not so much a legal question vs do people think it's ok to just step out wherever they want? I'm not sure how it's that different than just walking across a main street whenever you feel like it bc you, the pedestrian, has the legal right of way. Just seems rude to me...

While one may be legally "correct" to step out any old time, because the cars NEED to stop for pedestrians in a crosswalk, (I think that's law nationwide) one also might also just get PLOWED by a driver that *thinks* he/she has the right of way!
Law is law, but we do need to exercise a little common sense, right?
I'm with you. I might have the right of way in the crosswalk, but I wait for acknowledgement from the driver(s) to proceed.

Pedestrians always have the right of way. It doesn't mean I don't get pissy when I'm driving through a parking lot and someone just steps right out in front of me (I let people go, but if I'm not expecting it and suddenly you just leap out -that's pretty stupid). BUT -they still have the right of way.

pedestrians do always have the right of way. jaywalking wouldn't apply because it's private property. but yes, they're idiots for not even looking, just ASSuming you will stop for them. i have noticed attitudes like that too, the whole, "i am the center of the universe therefore i know that all traffic will stop when i decide i must cross the road."

D.. answers from Charlotte on March 19, 2012
If I'm driving in front of a store or group of stores, I always stop for pedestrians, and I expect them to walk from their cars to where they want to go. The crosswalks usually have stop signs on them that a driver is supposed to stop at regardless of whether someone is crossing or not. It's kind of like a speed bump without the bump - there to make cars slow down.
I don't believe it's rude to cross where you want to cross when walking. If I've walked from the back of the parking lot, I'm not gonna worry about walking all the way over to the crosswalk. I'm going to cross the street as soon as I can to get OUT of the way of the cars and be safe up on the sidewalk outside of the store(s).
I certainly don't see myself as being "entitled", or any pedestrian, for doing this.

Pedestrian always has the right of way. Not a right I will argue with a car mind you. :p
What fascinates me is that people don't even bother to make eye contact with the driver. That is what I mean by a right I will not argue with a car. Unless I know the driver sees me I am not walking in front or behind a moving car. I have never been hit but just looking at people that have, it looks painful.

A.J. answers from Williamsport on March 20, 2012
Totally depends on where you are, and it actually does become a legal thing. Some places it is not legal to cross all willy nilly (CA) and some places it is (NY) New Yorkers are coordinated adults who watch for traffic and cross whenever they want (love it, always loved it being there the most). They hurry so they don't hold up cars. Cars yield within reason but honk if the person walking is being a jerk about parading like it's a big "event". In Los Angeles you have to act like a toddler, walk a block out of your way to where you're "allowed to cross", stand awkwardly in the beaming sunlight while the speeding traffic gawks at the spectacle of an actual "pedestrian" and "wait for the walk signal" or literally, a cop may arrest you for jaywalking. C'mon! Annoying!
Personally, I'm the type who likes to hurry across the street whenever I want if it's not impeding any cars, and when I'm driving, I yield when people are crossing and I give the "go ahead" wave. I'm not a hothead, so I don't honk even if they're being slow pokes.
SO. In the parking structure you described. I would probably defer to law if there was one. I'd stick the crosswalks and be proper if I was with my toddlers, but I'd just go across however I wanted on my own without holding up any cars if there was no big legal warning posted about jaywalking.

C.B. answers from San Francisco on March 19, 2012
By law, they are supposed to use cross walks. Pedestrians can be cited for jay walking. However, pedestrians ALWAYS have the right of way so even though there is no crosswalk, cars are supposed to stop.

M.P. answers from Portland on March 19, 2012
I agree with Jo W. Pedestrians nearly always have the right of way but what does it matter if you're injured?
When I think about it, I don't think pedestrians have the right of way when they're jay walking when there's an ordinance outlawing jay walking. However, a parking lot is private property and there would be no jay walking ordinance.

With Mac OS X Leopard and installed iPhoto with a bunch of imported images, you will be able to perform really cool screensaver called mosaic screensaver.
Photos to be transformed as mosaic will be chosen from either your whole library of iPhoto or from one of your selected iPhoto albums.
The Settings
Setting Up iPhoto Library
In case you haven't had your iPhoto Library set up, what you need to do is Open your iPhoto and Create Library…. Or if you have created your Library before, you can Choose Existing… library.
Changing Existing iPhoto Library
Most people use default name iPhoto Library as the name of their iPhoto Library. In order to save this library, we can rename the whole folder to something else, perhaps iPhoto Library Old and then open iPhoto to create another iPhoto library, the new one.
Importing Images
It's fairly easy to import images to your iPhoto library, simple drag-n-drop will definitely do the task. Or if you're not used to the process of drag-n-drop, you can use menubar File – Import to Library… (keystrokes: Command-Shift-I).
Creating New Albums
You will have different photos with different categories and on different occasions. This is when the albums come into assistance. To create new iPhoto album from your existing iPhoto library, you can use menubar File – New Album… (keystrokes Command-N).
The Results
Running Mosaic Screensaver
Assume that you've followed the flow of the instructions above and now you've got your iPhoto Library and Albums categorization set up. Go inside your System Preferences – Desktop & Screen Saver – Screen Saver. Under your Pictures section, you will see folders with unique icons (Film Roll, Album, etc), these are the iPhoto screensaver; You can choose one of these.
After selecting one of those iPhoto albums, just slightly below the screensaver preview pane, you can see three icons for selecting three different display style. Choose the rightmost one which is the Mosaic Screen Saver.
Sit Back and Relax
I've captured dozen of my mosaics and put it on my Flickr Slideshow: Mosaic Screen Savers.

A zonal flow has set up over the region which will allow disturbances to move through the next couple of days providing a mostly sunny to partly cloudy skies through the day. Temperatures will also moderate closer to normal but still on the warm side for Spring. Tomorrow a weak cold front will bring light showers to the same areas that saw some precipitation yesterday, mainly late in the day for the Coast, Coast Range, Umpqua Basin and potentially to the northern Cascades. Once the front passes a trough will set up over the Pacific Northwest and shortwaves will provide more widespread shower activity both Thursday and Friday.
With a trough setting up expect to see temperatures drop to just BELOW normal, the first time in several weeks, as the cold air from the Arctic flows into the trough over the region. A weak ridge will build in briefly over the weekend warming temperatures about 5 degrees above normal with highs in the mid-70s for west side valleys and upper-60s, low-70s for areas east of the Cascades. Without a strong high pressure building in we will lack a blocking pattern that keeps storms north or south of us. Rather we will be in a slightly more active pattern, with the potential for the next system to hit the area early next week. This far out is something to mention and we will continue to monitor the track of this storm.

Password Cracking Wordlists and Tools for Brute Forcing |
Source: Darknet.org - Posted by Ryan Berens | ||
"Know your enemy." So the saying goes in all forms of the attacker/defender relationship. This article is an example of that. One of the most vulnerable forms of security is the password - many people have easy to duplicate passwords, companies often keep default passwords the same, and so on and so forth. Crackers can take advantage of this - especially if they have the right tools. And the better you know those tools, the better you can protect against them.
Do note there are also various tools to generate wordlists for brute forcing based on information gathered such as documents and web pages (such as Wyd - password profiling tool) These are useful resources that can add unique words that you might not have if your generic lists.

Digital Systems Design Using VHDL, 2nd Edition
Authors: Charles H. Roth, Jr. - University of Texas, Austin;
Lizy Kurian John - University of Texas, Austin
Thomson Engineering
Written for an advanced-level course in digital systems design, DIGITAL SYSTEMS DESIGN USING VHDL integrates the use of the industry-standard hardware description language VHDL into the digital design process. Following a review of basic concepts of logic design, the author introduces the basics of VHDL, and then incorporates more coverage of advanced VHDL topics. Rather than simply teach VHDL as a programming language, this book emphasizes the practical use of VHDL in the digital design process.
All of the VHDL code in this textbook has been tested using the ModelSim simulator. ModelSim software student edition is available to students free and a link for downloading the software as well as an introductory tutorial is available on the CD that accompanies this text as well as on the ModelSim website.
ModelSim Student Edition is available to all students at zero charge and can be downloaded from Mentor Graphics Higher Education.

Inside this modest, three-story brick building, Joe Frazier – a gold medal winner at the 1964 Olympics and later Heavyweight Champion of the World – trained for his victorious bout against Muhammad Ali. Today, the converted warehouse where Smokin' Joe perfected his punch is home to a discount furniture store and two floors of vacant space. Despite growing interest in commemorating Frazier's life (he died in 2011), the gym is unprotected; it enjoys no formal historic designation at the local or national level.
National Significance
Winning historic designation at the local level for the building Frazier owned and operated will demonstrate the power of communities to protect the places that tell their diverse stories. Similarly, inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places will promote the value of diversity within this roster of our country's most important historic resources.
Campaign Goals
- Raise $10,000 to cover the administrative costs of nominating Joe Frazier Gym to both the Philadelphia Register of Historic Places and the National Register of Historic Places.
- Develop a viable preservation plan for the property.
- Identify a friendly buyer or developer to purchase the building.
Ways To Help
Tell us why Joe Frazier's Gym matters to you.
Written by Brent Leggs, Project Manager
Last week, the Metro Newspaper in Philadelphia wrote a story about Bernard Hopkins' desire to acquire and redevelop Joe Frazier's Gym into a community resource to build tomorrow's diverse leaders. He said,
"I would want to be able to make a bid for the gym, and I will request the city back me as a non-profit to make the gym not only a boxing gym but make it more of a learning center for the youth — learning how to eat, learning karate, learning self defense. It has to be something given to the community, to the youth." - See more at: http://www.metro.us/newyork/news/local/2014/07/27/bernard-hopkins-plans-buy-joe-fraziers-gym-help/#sthash.SWzueGuE.dpuf.
This news is music to our ears. We stand ready to help Bernard Hopkins reach this important vision to return the gym back to active use as a sustainable community asset.

Written by Brent Leggs, Project Manager
Preservationists want to find a path to long-term preservation and a financially sustainable business model for reusing Joe Frazier's Gym. To do that, our next step is to seek the advice and expertise from the Urban Land Institute (ULI) Philadelphia chapter to assess opportunities for rehabilitating the historic Joe Frazier's Gym on North Broad Street. With a grant from the National Trust, the Preservation Alliance will submit a proposal to participate in the ULI Philadelphia Technical Assistance Program (TAP) in April 2014.
Joe Frazier passed away in November 2011 and unfortunately was unable to realize his vision for the gym, which was to transform the property into a boxing museum and community center. Today, the 15,000 SF, modest, three-story brick building is partially used as a discount furniture store in the former ground-floor gym and the upper two floors are vacant.
In the coming months, we'll share the recommendations made by the panel of design professionals. In the meantime, if you have your own ideas about the future of the gym and what it should be, please share your thoughts with us http://www.savingplaces.org/treasures/joe-fraziers-gym.

On the morning of June 14th, I had the privilege to witness the Philadelphia Historical Commission designate Joe Frazier's Gym as a Philadelphia Historic Landmark. In that moment, the same excitement that I once felt as a kid walking through the gates at Disney World, I would experience again. I wanted to celebrate in a joyous way, but instead I silently applauded the day with a big smile. I smiled knowing the gym is safe from demolition and the front façade will forever have three words etched in stone, "Joe Frazier's Gym."

Written by Brent Leggs, Project Manager
Smokin' Joe Frazier is somewhere smiling today. His beloved gym http://savingplaces.org/treasures/joe-fraziers-gym is listed in the nation's national inventory of significant historic places. The naming of the building to the National Register of Historic Places builds recognition for Frazier's legacy and it commemorates a remarkable life once lived. We're proud of our contribution to this effort and the excellent work of our National Treasure team.
Kudos to the Preservation Alliance for Greater Philadelphia, Temple University, Heritage Consulting Group, Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission, and National Park Service for protecting American history.
My fingers are crossed for more good news to come. The Philadelphia Historical Commission will consider the gym for local designation on June 14th. If successful, our vision to protect Joe Frazier's Gym, to celebrate Frazier's life, and to make available federal historic tax credits will be achieved.
Please check back often for additional updates on Joe Frazier's Gym. Also, donate today to support the National Trust's ongoing work at this National Treasure.
Ben Leech on June 06, 2012 I was new to Philadelphia the first time I passed 2917 N. Broad Street, and I did a double-take seeing the "Joe Frazier's Gym" ghost sign out of the corner of my eye. "THE Joe Frazier?" I'm embarrassed to admit it now, but at the time, my knowledge of Philly boxing began and ended with Rocky, and I had no idea that Philadelphia was home to a real world champion, too. This building still has a lot of stories to tell and a lot of things to teach us. |
Dennis Playdon on June 06, 2012 Last summer while driving past Joe Frazier's Gym on N. Broad Street, I was surprised to see a "For Sale" sign up on the building. About to begin a new architectural preservation course at Temple University, I thought to bring the site to the attention of my students. My intention was to have the students nominate the building as an endangered structure. Sadly, when my letter to Joe Frazier went unacknowledged, we discovered he was seriously ill in hospital. The building was eventually sold to a commercial enterprise. We had proposed immortalizing the gym through a thorough documentation and the creation of an interactive website. We are partnering now with the National Trust for Historic Preservation and the Preservation Alliance for Greater Philadelphia to preserve what most consider a national treasure. |

Outdoor Lifestyle Books Worth Reading
Books are worth reading anytime of the year. While it's great to laze away summer days in the hammock, I find I don't mind winter nearly as much all cozied up with a good book. Reading about epic adventure, misadventure and the amazing experiences of others is a powerful way to engage your brain and increase your knowledge about living an outdoor lifestyle. I thought this list was pretty comprehensive and I'm happy to be able to check off a few titles. What are your favorite reads on this list?

BATON ROUGE - Mayor Kip Holden brought up his interest in the lieutenant governor's office again Friday while reading to fourth-grade students in Baton Rouge.
Holden was asked by students at The Dunham School about his career plans, and said once he was finished with his term as mayor he'd like to try for lieutenant governor.
Holden has mentioned his interest in the office in the past to media, saying in 2013 he was "80 percent sure" he'd run for the office in 2015. He has not yet made a formal announcement.
WBRZ News 2 anchor Sylvia Weatherspoon also read to students at The Dunham School with Holden Friday.
