Lecture Twenty-Fifth
WE began yesterday to explain the passage where Daniel relates how the queen advised King Belshazzar to send for the Prophet. We shewed how the king was here convicted of ingratitude, in suffering such a Prophet of God to be in obscurity so long, because that memorable prophecy, already treated, ought to have been well known and in everybody's mouth, as conferring a permanent authority on the holy man. Now, when Daniel says, the queen entered the banqueting-room; very probably she was not the king's wife, but his grandmother. I have expressed my intention of not contending the point, since in doubtful cases every one ought to enjoy his own unbiased judgment. But it is incongruous to say, The king was feasting with his wife and concubines, and then to add, "the queen entered the banqueting-room." Hence we suppose her to be called Queen, through the honor, rank, and respect which she still enjoyed, without any power. The testimony of Herodotus confirms this view, for he praises the queen of King Nebuchadnezzar for her singular prudence, calling him Labynetus and her Nitocris. 259259 Herod., lib. i.e. 185 and 188. It is far more probable that this matron was absent from a banquet unsuitable to her age and gravity, since she would scarcely be feasting with those who were thus devoting themselves to luxury. When she enters the room, she reminds the king of Daniel, and she now gives the reason why he surpasses all the magi and soothsayers, the diviners and the Chaldees.

We studied the ability of pigs to discriminate tone cues using successive and conditional discrimination tasks. Pigs (n = 8) were trained in a successive discrimination Go/No-Go task (Experiment 1) to associate a Go-cue with a reward at the end of a runway and a No-Go-cue with the absence of reward. Latency to reach the goal-box was recorded for each cue-type. Learning of a conditional discrimination task was compared between low-birthweight (LBW, n = 5) and normal-birthweight (NBW, n = 6) pigs (Experiment 2) and between conventional farm (n = 7) and Göttingen miniature (n = 8) pigs (Experiment 3). In this active-choice task, one cue signalled a response in a right goal-box was correct and a second cue signalled a response in a left goal-box was correct. Cues were differentially rewarded. The number of sessions to learn the discrimination and number of correct choices per cue-type were recorded. In Experiment 1, four out of eight pigs showed learning on the task, that is, a higher latency to respond to the No-Go-cue, within 25 sessions. In Experiment 2, eight out of 11 pigs learned the discrimination within 46 sessions. LBW learners learned faster than NBW learners. In Experiment 3, all 15 pigs learned the task within 16 sessions. Göttingen miniature pigs learned faster than conventional farm pigs. While some methodological issues may improve the Go/No-Go design, it is suggested that an active-choice task yields clearer and more consistent results than one relying on latency alone.

My inclination is that this is because safari added an input type image, and thus a field named image inexplicably breaks. Does this problem still occur with other field names?
comment:2 Changed 6 years ago by SirVer@…
didn't work out.
Heres the new form:
class UploadImageForm(forms.Form): funny_name = forms.ImageField() def clean_up_filename( self ): name = self.cleaned_data["funny_name"]
and heres the generated HTML
<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="/images/upload/11/1/" method="POST">
Funny name: <input type="file" name="funny_name" id="id_funny_name" />

 <input type="submit" value="Upload Image" />
 </form>
Note that it is the second form on this page. The names do not clash and they POST to different adresses.
Any more ideas?

Yes. needs to be done outside of admin. Please see my sample code provided above.
comment:8 Changed 6 years ago by raphael
Hum... I cannot replicate it even outside of admin (I used Safari 3.2.1 on MacOS). My assumption is that it is a Safari related problem.
Which version are you using ?
Did you try to load a sample file with the same HTML content to see if it is related to Django ?
comment:9 Changed 6 years ago by chr
cannot reproduce on safari 4 beta using the above form snippet.

Can someone confirm if this is still around in Safari 4? I cannot seem to replicate in beta 4.
comment:11 Changed 6 years ago by jacob

This appears to have been a Safari bug since nobody can confirm it.

"How to get there" Bohoniki Transportation Tip by evaanna
Bohoniki Transportation: 1 reviews and 2 photos
The best way to get to Bohoniki is by car - there is not much traffic on the roads even if you are driving from as far as Warsaw. From Bialystok you can take the road via Suprasl and see the Monastery of the Annunciation and the Museum of Icons on the way. You are not likely to meet many lorries along this route as opposed to the road leading to Sokólka and the border crossing with Belarus at Kuznica Bialostocka. Having a car will also be useful to explore some other interesting places in the area, like Kruszyniany or Krynki.
But, if you have to use public transport, take a train to Sokólka and a bus or taxi from there. It is only about 6-7 kilometres but the buses are few and far between. Or better - bring your bicycle on the train and enjoy the empty country roads.

Compromise Helps Dutch Stay Afloat In Crisis
By TOBY STERLING
AMSTERDAM (AP) â¿¿ In the U.S., tax hikes have been the subject of partisan warfare that brought the country to the very edge of a "fiscal cliff." In southern Europe, spending cuts have led to mass protests and labor strikes.
Maybe both could learn from the Dutch â¿¿ whose compromise culture has kept the country afloat throughout the economic storm.
In the Netherlands, hits from the global financial crisis have so far been absorbed in a more relaxed way, as political parties, trade unions and officials have been more focused on cutting deals than in fighting over principles â¿¿ and sharing pain as well as prosperity.
After all, the pragmatic Dutch outlook says, we're all in this together. The Dutch system, known as the "Polder Model," seeks to divvy up the inevitable suffering from a downturn in a way that feels fair to all. Employers agree not to slash as many jobs as they otherwise might in exchange for workers agreeing to take pay cuts and not go on strike. The government, meanwhile, attempts to build public support for tax hikes and spending cuts by distributing them evenly across groups. "Everyone is going to feel the pinch," Prime Minister Mark Rutte said after a recent meeting with industry and union leaders, while adding: "We're going to share the burdens as equally as possible. As a united country we're strong." The idea of "Poldering" resonates deeply with the Dutch populace. Historically, dwellers of the low-lying country had to cooperate across social classes to share the costs of maintaining the system of windmills and dikes that protected them from floods and turned marshes into dry farmland known as "polders." It was a matter of life and death. Now, with the economy in the doldrums, the housing market in decline and unemployment at a 10-year high of 7.2 percent, Poldering is back in vogue.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

First, thanks for the pic Rickster... Lately I've been admiring this 1947 Buick built in 1949 by the Barris Brothers for furniture maker Ben Mario. I love the lines... The proportions are perfect, everything flows really well, it just is really pleasing to the eye... So much so that while looking at the car, I couldn't for the life of me remember what a '47 buick looks like from the factory and I knew I'd seen many of them. So I went online and found this pic of a stock 1947 Buick Vert. I was instantly confronted with the fact that I really like 47 buicks and have studied them a lot. I was amazed at the way the extensive mods made to the Mario Buick worked so well in the final product. The one exception being that I think the Cad grill is a little small for the car. I'd like to see a 49 Olds grill surround up there but that's just me... I love the Hirohata Merc, the Matranga Merc, and Sam's merc amongst many others, but I think the Ben Mario Buick might be the best example to come out of the Barris shop of how to make extensive custum touches work with the original body. I also think the creativity involved in selecting the right parts is genious. What do you think?
Kilroy, Ben Mario's Buick has always been a favorite of mine as well. Barris built several early Buicks in this same style, using cadillac components. Here's three that were pictured in some early magazines The first two pics are of Ben's car, and the next two pic's are of Don Vaughn's 47 Buick that was almost identical to Ben's, except for the absence of the outside hood latches, the parking light placement, newer (52) taillights and the barris crests. Even the gaylord tops looked the same, and both cars were painted purple although I believe different shades. The last two pictures are of George Sinamark's Buick that Barris did similar to the two others but used a 49 Cad grille, a more conventional Gaylord top and different side trim separating the charcoal and copper paint scheme. Mr. Sinamark was a snappy dresser and looke dto be a real party guy!! Mick
One of my favorites. Very well proportioned in both version. Here is a rare photo of the Mario Buick shown in front of the Gaylord shop with its dark colored stock height top up. (thats Gaylord 49 Merc in front of it) Top down, same location Cover of the February 1950 Motor Trend magazine. Thats Ben Mario's lovely wife. Same location, some photo shoot different angle. The Cadillac grille, frenched headlights and reshaped moldings on the hood are gorgeous! Gaylord was responsible for the chopped top and full custom interior in white and gray. Combined Barris Gaylord ad in Motor Trend magazine Now with an plex glas wrap around rearwindow chopped Gaylor padded top... At an early 50's indoor car show... Below is the Kolorized Kustoms photo of Ben Mario's Buick as I made it for The Rodders Journal article. And a detail from my site As far as I know Ben still has his Buick, and it is still in very good shape, although it has not been seen for many years... unfortunately!
Rik, just one correction, the full side shot that you posted is of Don Vaughn's Buick, not ben mario's. Note the outside hood latches are removed and the 52 taillights. Both cars were stunning!! Mick
Corrected... thanks Here is one more difference between the two. The hood moldings are reshaped on the front of the hood to form a point ending just above the Caddy grille. Also the parking lights are a different.
Well since its back up.... here are some photo's of Don Vaughn's 47 Buick... In front of the Barris shop... Beeing cleaned for a car show... (thats Dale Marchall's 1950 Mercury in primer parked next to Don's Buick) Motor Trend Pin-up...
As of the early to mid ninety's Ben was still around and still had the car. Has anyone heard anything at all? I heard he was still in the L.A. area.
Has anybody heard of a 46 that was almost exactly like this, owned by a guy named Lon Allen?? I was told it was at the Pan Pacific in the early 50's ? say between the years 50-52?
Ever since I've seen the shot of the Buick on the golf course, I think I've seen the same golf course used in a Little Rascal's episode, it looks like the same place. I've never been able to figure this out, and it bothers me for some reason. Off topic , I know.
Its a badass car for sure, but I wouldnt say it was Sam's best. That top just doesn't flow to me. It looks better with out the top on. Might have looked better proportionally if they moved the rear window forward like 5".
WOW great photos guys,thanks for posting. Yup I agree ,ya got to love those art deco aerodynamic Buicks. George Barris and his brother built some beautiful Kustoms. I am truly honored that George picked my Airflow for his Barris award at the KKOA leadsled show.

Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children is the debut novel by American author Ransom Riggs. The book tells the tale of a boy who, following a horrific family tragedy, follows clues that take him to an abandoned orphanage on a Welsh island. The story is told through a combination of narrative and vernacular photographs from the personal archives of collectors listed by the author.
This young adult book was originally intended to be a picture book featuring photographs Riggs had collected, but on the advice of an editor at Quirk Books, he used the photographs as a guide from which to put together a narrative.[1][2] Riggs was a collector of photographs, but needed more for his novel. He met Leonard Lightfoot, a well-known collector at the Rose Bowl Flea Market, and was introduced to other collectors.[3] The result was a story about a boy who follows clues from his grandfather's old photographs which lead him on an adventure that takes him to a large abandoned orphanage on a Welsh island.[2]
The book has been a New York Times best seller.[1][4] It reached the #1 spot on the Children's Chapter Books list on 29 April 2012 after being on the list for 45 weeks,[5] remaining there until 20 May, when it dropped to the fourth spot on the list.[6][7][8] Critics have generally praised the book for creative use of vintage photographs as well as good characterization and settings.
After his grandfather's murder, apparently by a make-believe creature, 16-year-old Jacob Portman goes to Wales to learn the truth about his grandfather's past. He finds that his grandfather lived in a derelict orphanage for "peculiar children". That is where he meets Emma, a "strikingly pretty" girl who can control fire. She uses time travel to take him back to 1940 to meet Miss Peregrine, the orphanage director, who lives with the other children in a "time loop". Jacob enjoys spending time with the other peculiar children, such as Millard, who is invisible, and Bronwyn, who has incredible strength. In the pub where Jacob is staying, he hears stories of mysterious deaths in the region, and he warns the peculiar children. They tell Jacob that the deaths were caused by the "hollows" or "hollowgasts", the same monsters that killed his grandfather, and that Jacob is the only person who can see these creatures. Jacob realizes only he can stop the killings.
After Jacob kills one of the hollows, Miss Peregrine is kidnapped. The children rescue Miss Peregrine, but she is in bird form and cannot change back to human form. Ultimately the peculiar children must find another time loop when theirs is taken over by hollows.
Miss Peregrine's spent a total of 63 weeks on The New York Times Best Sellers list for children's chapter books. It reached the #1 spot on the list on 29 April 2012 after being on the list for 45 weeks.[5] It remained there until 20 May, when it dropped to the fourth spot on the list.[6][7][8] The book dropped off the list on 9 September 2012, after a total of 63 weeks.[9][10]
According to Deborah Netburn for the Los Angeles Times, the best part of the novel is "a series of black-and-white photos sprinkled throughout the book".[11] Publishers Weekly called the book "an enjoyable, eccentric read distinguished by well-developed characters, a believable Welsh setting, and some very creepy monsters."[12]
A sequel, titled Hollow City, was released on 14 January 2014.[13] The novel is set right after the first, and sees Jacob and his friends fleeing from Miss Peregrine's to the "peculiar capital of the world", London.[14]
An original English-language manga adaptation by Cassandra Jean was released in November 2013.[15]
20th Century Fox purchased the film rights to the novel in May 2011,[16] courting Tim Burton to direct and Jane Goldman adapting the screenplay.[17] A release date was originally set for 31 July 2015.[18][19] before it was pushed back to 4 March 2016. Filming is expected to start in February 2015.[20] Eva Green is set to play Miss Peregrine in the film.[21]

So, he was charged with second degree murder, he is in jail because he couldn't post bond. what now? In Brunswick county when he gets a court date they will say time served and let him out to kill again! I know a man who went in and out of brunswick county court rooms for years for drunk driving, never had to serve a day for it. They always let him walk away!! So what? last year he crossed the center line and killed a young mother of three. He did bond out on his second degree murder arrest. A year later where is he? Still wandering around Brunswick county living his life. No court date yet. Why does it take over a year to put someone on the stand and either determine guilty or not? The woman is in the grave Yard! the children with no Mom. The highway patrol say they are strick in arresting drunk drivers in NC but the courts set them back behind the steering wheel until they kill. Don't get to excited about the man in the above story sitting in jail until his trial date, doesn't mean he'll go to prison. If you could ask MY daughter she'd be able to tell you that much!

Just what I wanted Such a relief to find an affordable, truly non-obnoxious rug pad--so many new items off-gas and make you kind of sick for a while, and I just didn't want any of that in my new place. I've bought three of these now, I think, and none of them have any bad odor at all. They are just as thick or thicker as the toxic rug pads, and they do a perfect job of keeping rugs from slipping out from underneath us. No complaints and would buy again.

No Funky Rubber Smell! I was thrilled that when I opened the packaging there was absolutely no plastic/rubber odor! I had gone to great pains to order a wool rug to avoid off-gassing so why would I buy a grip pad that would stink things up?? Very pleased with this product. It is worth the extra cost to get an enviro-friendly product! I don't have to worry if my kids lay on the rug to play, they won't be getting any funky off-gassing odors.

No Smell! We bought the grip rug-pad to go under the rug that we bought also here @ Overstock. I chose it because I didn't want a petroleum-based rug gripper to ruin my newly-refurbished hardwood floors (as many of them react harmfully with floor lacquer). It works great and when we unrolled it from its packaging, there wasn't that crazy chemical smell that lasts for days. Thanks, Overstock! Another great high-quality product.

Grip Rug Pad No smell, good grip, easy to cut if needed, holds a big carpet nicely in place. Even a smaller size worked, though having a big enough pad makes the carpet more padded and more secure. I can even do some aerobics now on the carpet without the rug moving under my feet!

Works great I bought this to go under a new living room rug that was slipping and sliding around on our wood floor. It came quickly and was easy to put down. The rug isn't going anywhere now, it's staying perfectly in place. I've only had it for about a month, so I can't really speak to the longevity of the product. It's great and there are no marks on our wood floor. AND it's eco-friendly!

Questions & Answers
We are unable to verify the thickness of the rug, but our customer reviews note that it is thick enough to keep the rug from sliding.
How do I clean this pad? Is it machine washable?
First, make a solution of water and dish-washing detergent. Then, dip a clean cloth in the solution and rub the cloth on the stain. For tough stains use a commercial eraser. Wet the eraser and then scrub. Wipe the excess solution away.

A fully realized Starcraft MMO is in the works, but it needs to be Kickstarted first
If you're a dedicated World of Warcraft player, you may have already spent a good deal of time wondering when developer Blizzard would give its StarCraft property the MMO treatment as well. StarCraft Universe is that MMO, but it's not being made by Blizzard; a group called Upheaval Arts is creating the game as a mod for StarCraft II, and if its Kickstarter campaign meets its goal, you'll be able to play it on your Mac (or Windows PC) early next year.
StarCraft Universe takes the real-time strategy franchise and gives the player control of a single character, complete with class abilities, questing, leveling and all the other mechanics MMO players have come to expect. The campaign is roughly halfway to its US$80,000 goal amount, and has a further 20 days of fundraising left to go.
If you're interested in the mod, but don't currently own StarCraft II, you'll be happy to hear that Universe can be played using the trial version of the game, which can be downloaded for free.

Mr. Bojangles LyricsArtist: Bob DylanAlbum: Dylan Silver hair, a ragged shirt and baggy pants, that old soft shoe He'd jump so high, he'd jump so high, will he likely touch down ? Mr. Bojangles, Mr. Bojangles, dance. I met him in a cell in New Orleans, I was down and out He looked to me to be the eye of age as he spoke right out He talked of life, he talked of life, laughing slapped his leg stale Mr. Bojangles, Mr. Bojangles, dance. He said the name Bojangles and he danced a lick all across the cell He grabbed his pants for a better stance, oh he jumped so high and he clicked up his heels He let go laugh, he let go laugh, shook back his clothes all around Mr. Bojangles, Mr. Bojangles, dance, yeah, dance. He danced for those at minstrel shows and county fairs throughtout the south He spoke with tears of 15 years of how his dog and him just travelled about Hid dog up and died, he up and died, and after 20 years he still grieves Mr. Bojangles, Mr. Bojangles, dance. He said "I dance now at every chance at honky-tonks for drinks and tips But most of the time I spend behind these county bars, cause I drinks a bit" He shook his head, yes he shook his head, I heard someone ask him, lease? Mr. Bojangles, Mr. Bojangles, dance, dance, Mr Bojangles, dance.

Well, OP, let's take it the rest of the way down the line of thinking you're promoting.
Maybe you should stop using those government-provided roads and bridges. Stop filing medicare claims, using a 401k, and while you're at it, get off the internet, since it was the government research that created it in the first place.
I think this TPTB line of thinking leads to the ultimate doom that is so sought after on GLP. Maybe some of you will be happier off the grid as completely self-supporting family units, but I don't really believe it.
Believing you are being controlled completely just limits your own world views.
I'm sorry I just don't understand how you got to this state of pessimism, and why you would want to stay in it.
Anonymous Coward 27095381
you don't think people would do better than the government?
the internet is an example of growth and innovation without government tampering, its slowed down since the government has started to intervene
the government is sloth, it slows down and leeches off innovation
Anonymous Coward 27007512
The internet exists because of the government. They created the environment and funded the research to create it. I seriously doubt that the government is slowing it down. NETFLIX downloads are 30% of the data volume on the US web today. THAT might have something to do with it.
Anonymous Coward 27095381
Wrong. The military invented the internet. Visionaries, philosophers and web architects/designers gor together in the early 90's all over the world becuse they believed in the tremendous potential of the internet and its transfomative and consciousness expanding possibile impacts on society. They had idealistic ideas and developed the internet into user friendly and intuitive communications platforms. Then as they were extremely successful, the establishment and government as previous poster said correctly started to leech of their ideas and developmet for economic reasons and for nore control over everyone. Sadly.

Good summary - but now begs the question "what new approaches are available to analyze your business into discrete services in order to make shoring decisions"
"to speak to someone in your own country you have to pay extra"
Given the *excellent* service I have received from Indian customer service reps in the past, I would be willing to pay ten bucks a call to someone who actually speaks English.
One recent web sketch showed operators imitating Sean Connery, a Scottish actor, for the Scottish market" lol. few in scotland speaks like sean connery. When someone has a fake scottish accent used to refer to it as doing a "connery". Sean connery someone whos accent would be copied in parady of scottish accent, but if trying to sound convicing not so sure.
I would guess a better approach that trying to copy colliquial vernacular accent and dialect. Would be elequition lessons. As if do elequition lessons peoplen will be able to understand from different regions. Because of the strong accents in different parts of uk, even if mastered one effectivly unless was just dealing with people from that area would not be great. Sometimes when get real welsh or northeast accents can be hard to understand.
This special report misses one critical services trend that has slowly but steadily been growing: Virtual Onshoring. This is the ability for a business in one nation to directly provide services to end users in another nation via the Internet. While rich nations have jumped on this, such as Google and other search engines entering other nations markets, it also can be done in reverse from developing nation to richer nation. For instance, there are several Indian companies that provide tutoring to U.S. students. One industry that is ripe for this form of virtual onshoring is higher education. An online university from a developing nation that can provide high quality degrees to the U.S. market is likely to make a good profit and ultimately improve their nation's GDP.
Infosys/Wipro/TCS must share % of profit with employees.
Otherwise Govt should nationalize these body shopping companies.
One problem of returning work home, at least in IT services, is that there are not so many people to pick it up. First, there is simply no serious amount of software engineers, testers, project manager or consultants who are unemployed and available for hire. Compared with the rest of the economy, IT industry has been doing well employment-wise in recent years. Second, with the prestige of computer science and similar fields seemingly falling in Western societies, there will not be a tremendous supply of new workforce in the coming years. Third, there is the whole division of labour aspect. This said, I doubt that offshoring in IT services will stop in 10 years.

State of the Art: Linux Audio 2008, Part II
Many projects in this domain have strong development tracks. Bill Schottstaedt's great Snd continues to grow nicely, with many enhancements and fixes from its wide community of users and developers. Younger projects, such as Audacity (Figure 3), mhWaveEdit and Sweep, show current development, but unfortunately, the much-anticipated update for ReZound has yet to materialize, and we still await better JACK integration with Audacity and Sweep.
LADSPA, the Linux Audio Developer's Simple Plugin API, is an excellent resource for audio plugin developers, and users now can enjoy many fine plugins created with the LADSPA API. Standout sets include Tim Goetze's CAPS suite, Steve Harris' indispensable SWH package and Tom Szilagyi's TAPS collection, but many other LADSPA gems are available. The overall collection continues to expand, albeit slowly.
The intentional simplicity of the LADSPA API necessarily restricted plugin designs primarily to effects and dynamics processing. The emerging LV2 specification takes LADSPA to the next level, particularly with regard to instrument plugins. LV2 competes with the DSSI (Disposable SoftSynth Interface), but the developers of both projects are working toward the common goal of providing Linux with something like the famous VST/VSTi plugin architecture for Windows.
Direct support for VST/VSTi plugins currently exists in two forms. Bridges, such as FST (FreeVST) and the dssi-vst utility, can run some native Windows VST/VSTi plugins directly under Linux, while Lucio Asnaghi's JOST Project works at porting open-source VST plugins to native Linux versions. Applications with support for VST/VSTi plugins (Windows or native Linux) include Ardour, Rosegarden, LMMS and QTractor. However, Ardour's support requires a special build procedure, and the resulting binary may not be redistributed.
The terms of the Steinberg API forbid the free redistribution of the VST SDK, so a mature LV2 is likely to be an attractive alternative for plugin developers. Time will tell, and although the specification is already a worthy contender, users need plugins. A few projects already address that need (see the list at lv2plug.in), but more would be better.
The developers of LMMS have resolved the issue in another way by coding a drop-in replacement for the needed VST SDK, making it possible to provide direct VST support without the Steinberg code. This development is recent, and it remains to be seen whether Linux audio developers will incorporate that solution into their own programs.
This domain can be divided between programs that function primarily as a composer's workspace and programs that function as music typesetting software. The magnificent LilyPond Project dominates the music typesetting category, and NtEd and Canorus are the best currently maintained notation-based composition interfaces. However, Werner Schweer's MuseScore rapidly is evolving into a superb WYSIWYG graphic interface for music composition, but it requires a cutting-edge installation of Qt and its other dependencies.
The Linux digital DJ can choose between two professional-grade mixers, UltraMixer and Mixxx, both of which are beyond their 1.0 releases and continue to display strong development tracks. Alexander Koenig's great "virtual scratcher" terminatorX has not been developed since 2004, but at version 3.82, it's safe to refer to it as mature.
The digital video jockey (VJ) is well served by the current crop of video mixers for Linux. Outstanding packages include FLxER, FreeJ, Gephex and Veejay, all of which work with video files and streams in ways analogous to the actions of audio disc jockeys. Video input can be scratched, stuttered, processed with special effects, and mixed with other video (and other media). Common laptops now are powerful enough to handle the audio and video resource demands of this evolving art form, especially if they're running Linux.
The Rivendell Project rules this domain. Rivendell (Figure 4) provides a complete solution for radio broadcasters (air-wave or network-based) who want to automate all or any part of their operations. The suite is an impressive achievement, with a fully professional set of features "...for the acquisition, management, scheduling and playout of audio content", according to its Web site. The latest public release is version 1.0, and the project development status is current and ongoing.

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.

It's Wednesday evening and supper is over. Everyone has gone their own way, some reading, some writing and some still down with the flu.
Yes, the flu bug hit us. So far it has only been son Benjamin and my husband, Joe. Their symptoms were a high temperature, cough, aches and chill. I called the doctor and he said there is not much they can do.
So I am playing nurse and trying to keep their temperatures down and trying to keep them comfortable. I hope it stays away from the rest of us. Joe is caught up at work, so he is off work until after New Year's Day. It was a good thing that he did not have to leave, as he woke up with a temperature of 102.
On Saturday, he turned 44 years old.
Last night we had an easy supper of eggs, toast and cheese. Verena fried the eggs and Loretta made the toast, so I got out of helping with supper. We have eggs, eggs, eggs around here. After the holidays, I hope to make noodles with a lot of them.
Elizabeth arrived home safe and sound from their trip to Kentucky. It is always nice to know when everyone is back home again.
Christmas is coming up fast and I still have not signed any cards. Seems I get later every year in getting them out. Tomorrow night is the elementary Christmas program at the school. Joseph, Lovina, and Kevin are excited about it. Friday will be a half-day of school.
Sounds like we have some snow and wind expected for tonight. There might be a possibility that there will be no school Friday.
I remember one year on our way home from the school Christmas program, it snowed a lot. It was hard to find our way home with the fresh snow- covered roads in the dark. The next morning school was canceled, but the children were disappointed because so were their parties.
We were surprised with Christmas carolers one night. It was some of the families from our church. They had a team of horses and a hay wagon to take them from one place to the next. A group of people stood outside on our porch and sang Christmas carols.
? This is now Thursday morning and it is raining and very windy.
It is the first morning all week that Benjamin woke up without a fever. He said he feels lots better.
It is hard to keep him down when he is sick. He had a 104 temperature one morning and was walking around.
It doesn't take much of a fever to put me in bed. I just never could walk around with a high temperature.
I will close this column wishing you a blessed Christmas. Those of you who travel, may you arrive back safely. Also: Get-well wishes to all the people with illnesses; may you have a complete and speedy recovery.
And last, but not least, let us remember the families in Connecticut during this sorrowful time. Such a tragedy. May God be with them.
God's blessings to all.


text: The formation of planetary rings remains a subject of intense research, although their existence can be easily understood in terms of their position relative to the planet that they surround. Each planet has a critical distance from its centre known as its Roche limit, named for Édouard Roche, the 19th-century French mathematician who first explained this concept. The ring systems of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune lie inside the Roche limits of their respective planets. Within this distance the gravitational attraction of two small bodies for each other is smaller than the difference in the attraction ... (100 of 7,731 words)Formation of ring systems

There are three sections to the 145-seat Ishq (pronounced ish): a row of tables lined up on the sidewalk of Ocean Drive, a thinly foliated rectangular outdoor courtyard that serves as dining area and link between street and recessed restaurant, and the interior, consisting of a bar inlaid with semiprecious stones, three steps up from which is a 14-seat mother-of-pearl communal table facing a glassed-in open kitchen. The space is flushed in golds, purples, crystals, saris, carved marble slabs, and such. Still, it's pretty small. What happens during those out-of-the-blue rainstorms, when the sky suddenly shoots down sheets of water as if somebody upstairs just twisted a giant faucet knob hard left? Sure the tables are under canvas umbrellas, but they can protect only so much — and squeezing 131 extra diners inside would seem to be a challenging proposition. Does management replace the poured-upon pooris? We'd eventually get the chance to find out, but our initial visit brought the sort of comfortably breezy weather that couples dining alfresco in the movies inevitably enjoy.
Co-owners Sham and Kavita Kamlani's preopening press release promised the inclusion of "less traditional" items such as Bombay baby-back ribs and Portobello "naanini" sandwiches, but fortunately such oddities are few and far between. The menu of "Bombay street fare" (the Kamlanis' native city, now Mumbai), crafted by Executive Chef Kavita with consultation from Neela Paniz (owner of The Bombay Café in Santa Monica), is firmly footed in tikkis, tikkas, and tandoori.
A tray of chutney, raita, pickles, and crisp lentil wafers (chapati) is commonly complimentary in New York's Indian restaurants, but down here a token charge usually applies. Apparently the price of a token must have gone up, for at Ishq, each component costs $2.95. That's high, considering the hotly pickled mango, zucchini, and artichoke slices constituted less than a quarter cup of food. They were lip-smackingly good, though, and in keeping with tradition were soused in seasoned oil, not vinegar.
Starters brought mixed results. On the plus side were skewer-less turkey "kebabs," four minifootballs of fried, minced, spiced moist meat; and samosas, two tasty tetrahedrons of crisp pastry puffed with either cumin-imbued crab and baby corn mixture, or the more traditional potato (here with carrots and green beans). Puréed spuds formed the base for a fried trio of silver-dollar-size breaded potato pancakes (tikkis), but they offered little flavor beyond a cursory inflection of cumin and salt. Both samosas and tikkis get pooled in sweet/tart tamarind sauce and piquant green cilantro-mint sauce.
Bhindi is customarily a dish of fried okra sautéed with tomatoes, onions, and garlic. Ishq's way of preparing the vegetable (one becoming increasingly popular in India) is to deep-fry a stack of them, toss with spices, and serve like potato sticks. This dish would make an apt bar snack to accompany beer, but it's sure to disappoint anyone expecting a plate of okralike food.
If you do choose the brew route, imports include Kingfisher, Taj Mahal, and India's best-selling lager, Haywards 5000 (yes, that is a strange name for a beer). The full-service bar concocts inventive cocktails such as the Lakshmana, vodka infused in-house with chai tea and pomegranate and mango juices. A bit too esoteric? Consider creating your own customized sangria from three flavored brandies (apricot, peach, ginger), three wines (red, white, sparkling), and three fruit juices (mango, orange, passion fruit). A 14-ounce pitcher (about one and a half rocks glasses) costs $11, but better deals abound if you show up any day between 4:00 and 6:00 p.m. for the "very happy happy hour."
The staff here always appears to be very happy happy (in a sober way). The word ishq translates to "love," and workers are not only extremely congenial but also sincere and effective in attempting to make each person's dining experience run smoothly. They succeeded, too, the only hiccups being repeated disparities between the degree of spiciness requested and received — probably the kitchen crew's fault. On one occasion, our waiter described the food in general as being mild or medium in heat, "never hot unless you ask for it that way." We didn't, yet a side vegetable of hariyali ("greenery") — spinach, Swiss chard, and arugula sautéed with garlic, cumin, and chili — was searing enough to bring tears. It was returned and replaced soon afterward with a milder version that was evidently rushed to us right from the pan: more sizzling, more garlicky than the original: a great plate of greens.
On a subsequent trip, we ordered a "spicy" rendition of Punjabi chane, garbanzo beans bathed in yet more cumin (as was a dish of lentil dal), along with ginger, coriander, tamarind, and chili. Yet it emitted only a modicum of heat, the same piquancy as a main course of chicken tikka masala that was supposed to be "medium spicy." The pieces of chicken breast were tender, though, with a cream-of-tomato base that conjured a can of Campbell's — with a kick. This is fitting: Legend has it that this dish resulted from British colonialists insisting upon gravy atop their chicken tikka, and an Indian chef responding with a sauce created by spicing up Campbell's tomato soup.

Celebrity Baby Names: Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem
It's a baby girl for actors Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem—and they've named their daughter Luna Encinas. (She joins big brother Leonardo.)
Luna means moon, and has become a hot name ever since J.K. Rowling chose it for one of her most unique Harry Potter characters, Luna Lovegood, a bright but offbeat girl who often helped Harry in the battle against Voldemort. In fact, since the character appeared in the books, it's jumped way up on the charts, from near the bottom of the top 1000 in 2003, over 600 points to its spot at #223 in 2012.
It was also chosen as the nickname for Uma Thurman's multiple-monikered daughter, Rosalind Arusha Arkadina Altalune Florence.
Encinas is one of Javier's surnames, bringing a little bit of the family name into the mix.
I love Luna and Leonardo (aka Leo) as a sibling set!
What do you think of the baby name Luna? Is it a name you'd consider for your baby?
