UK Outlook for Tuesday 10 Mar 2015 to Thursday 19 Mar 2015:
Widespread, locally heavy, rain and strong winds, mainly in the north, will clear north-eastwards through Tuesday morning. More settled conditions will then develop for a time with a cold, locally frosty night to follow, especially in the north. Further outbreaks of rain, locally heavy, with strengthening winds will then spread across the UK early Wednesday before becoming drier again later on. From Thursday there looks to be generally more settled conditions across most parts of the UK as high pressure remains close to the east. However, occasional weather systems will likely still bring cloudier interludes with rain, mainly to northern and western parts. Away from cloud and rain temperatures will often be near or above average leaving conditions often feeling pleasant in sunshine.
UK Outlook for Friday 20 Mar 2015 to Friday 3 Apr 2015:
It looks probable that pressure will remain higher than average across the UK at first. This would bring generally drier than average conditions, but it is likely that there could also be some cloud at times, with some occasional rain or showers, particularly across the north. There are signs that more of a northwest-southeast split will develop in late March with wetter than average conditions probably developing in the northwest, whilst drier conditions and higher than average pressure perhaps persist in the southeast.

Linux Powers The Spiderwick Chronicles
An interesting article surfaced today talking about Linux based systems used in Hollywood, specifically on a new Paramount feature production, The Spiderwick Chronicles directed by Mark Waters.
The article has lots of good screen shots showing software in use, but I guess a little unfortunately many of the applications are proprietary and Blender doesn't get a look in. Still, it's encouraging to know how the Linux OS has penetrated this sphere.
Kino 1.3.0 Released

Open Movie Editor – New Release Feb 9th
The Open Movie Editor project has just released a new version of this Linux based non-linear video editing tool.
Amongst the highlights of this new version are the following items:
- Inclusion of a new colour scheme called Shark
- Colour scheme preferences are now restored at restart
Full release notes are available on Sourceforge.
While only a minor update to Open Movie Editor, coming just one week after the previous release on February 3rd, this source does include my first codebase contribution to an Open Source project – the Shark colour scheme.
Download the new version of Open Movie Editor.
The Future of Cinelerra
It would be remiss if I did not at least mention the current buzz around Linux video editing tool Cinelerra. An article appeared on Linux.com a couple of days ago, outlining a new direction for the software that began life as Broadcast2000.
I'm not going to do a Cinelerra history lesson here, go and read the Linux.com article. What is more interesting is the desire to build a new Cinelerra (Cin3), completely divorced from the original Heroine Warrior sponsor.
I've actually been following the Cin3 discussion on the Cinelerra mailing list for some time now. At this stage discussion seems to be centered around what the new name for the software will be and what GUI toolkit to use. There's a long way to go before Cin3 – or Verite as it may now be known – becomes a stable usable product.
And that's where the problem lies. Cin3 may be another 2 or 3 years away from being production ready. What happens in the meantime? How much effort will be expended on developing and maintaining the existing Cinelerra 2? While such a long lead time may be needed for a community driven application of this complexity, it does open the opportunity for other projects, both commercial and Open Source, to carve out a large video editing market share on the Linux platform.
Already Blender incorporates a reasonably full featured video sequence editor. I wonder about the viability of spinning that off as a standalone piece of software. What if MainConcept did indeed decide to open source their now defunct MainActor editing tool? Perhaps Adobe, or Sony, or Pinnacle will take the plunge and release a Linux version of their video editors. If the Linux desktop continues to rise in popularity, these scenarios are distinct possibilities.
Already Cinelerra suffers from an image problem, allegedly being too complex to learn and generally unstable. Let's hope the Cinelerra community team can forge ahead quickly to create an easy to use, but powerful, open source non-linear video editor.
Real World Open Source Video Editing
A short while ago I wrote a review about Open Movie Editor. Essentially this review was written after a couple of hours testing various video clips and assessing the functionality within OME. Now, I can write about what OME is like on a real editing assignment.
Recently I was given a DVD full of PAL DV material and asked to create a compilation from the individual clips. A fun little project that should only take a day or two. Open Movie Editor was the obvious tool for the job.
The good news I can report is that even after 10 to 12 hours of constant video editing, OME is still a very stable piece of software. I only managed to induce two crashes – once when trying to undo multiple edits in a row and once when vigorously moving clips around on the timeline. Other than that, Open Movie Editor was easily up to the task.
I'm not an advanced video editor, happy within my comfort zone using something like Adobe Premiere, but also not using all the intricate features. However, Open Movie Editor does still lack a few basic features, that would have greatly increased my productivity. Changing playback speed of a clip is not possible within OME. I needed to change the framerate of target clips using FFmpeg and mjpeg tools to achieve this effect. While fade transitions are easy enough, I'm sure they could have been even quicker if such a function was built into OME. Precise frame editing, for splitting clips for example, would also make life easier.
There are some really nice features in Open Movie Editor though. Audio automations are a breeze, the media browser window provides easy access to your video library and the list of render options is quite vast – dependent on FFMpeg, Libquicktime and other shared video libraries.
So what did I produce in my 12 hours of work? A fun 4 minute clip, which is still a little rough around the edges, but generally a good laugh. Here's a link for your viewing pleasure:
Edited in Open Movie Editor, with some clip transformations using FFmpeg and mjpeg tools. Follow this with final transcoding to x264, again with FFmpeg for more finite control, and you have an Open Source Editing project.
The Kapital Moto TV site uses open source products where possible. The server runs on Debian Etch, the site is served with Apache, built largely with PHP and data is stored in a MySQL database. Content is a mix of QuickTime generated H.264 and FFmpeg generate x264 video files. The Flash player is not open source, but is free as in beer.
How-To: Alter Video Speed with FFmpeg and mjpegtools
Unfortunately my Linux based non-linear editing tool of choice, Open Movie Editor, doesn't currently support directly altering video playback speed. For example, if you wanted a portion of your new compilation to run at 200% of original recorded speed, it can't be done within OME. This exact functionality was something I needed for an existing editing project.
After some thought and investigation, such changes can be achieved through using a combination of FFmpeg and yuvfps, which is part of mjpeg tools, to alter the framerate of the desired footage. If your original file is PAL based, with a framerate of 25fps, changing the framerate to 50fps will result in the video running twice as fast, for half as long.
I didn't initially have mjpegtools installed, but on my Debian based system this was easy enough with
sudo apt-get install mjpegtools
Next, the input video needs to be converted to yuv4mpegpipe format, passed through yuvfps and output to a new avi file. Here's the command line I used to create a clip at 50fps:
ffmpeg -i input.dv -f yuv4mpegpipe - | yuvfps -s 50:1 -r 50:1 | ffmpeg -f yuv4mpegpipe -i - -b 28800k -y output.avi
Change the 50:1 ratios to whatever framerate you require. e.g. 100:1 for 100fps. Be sure to set the output file bitrate to a relevant quality level. Omitting this flag will result in a poor quality AVI output file by default.
The resulting AVI file was easily played back with Totem, and handled on the timeline admirably by OME.
Thanks to Victor Paesa on the FFmpeg mailing list for pointing me in the right direction.
Some other options to investigate include the new Libavfilter for FFmpeg and converting the original footage to a raw data file, which will lost the audio.
How-To: Extract images from a video file using FFmpeg
Extracting all frames from a video file is easily achieved with FFmpeg.
Here's a simple command line that will create 25 PNG images from every second of footage in the input DV file. The images will be saved in the current directory.
ffmpeg -i input.dv -r 25 -f image2 images%05d.png
The newly created files will all start with the word "images" and be numbered consecutively, including five pre-appended zeros. e.g. images000001.png.
From a video that was 104 seconds long, for a random example, this command would create 2600 PNG files! Quite messy in the current directory, so instead use this command to save the files in a sub-directory called extracted_images:
ffmpeg -i input.dv -r 25 -f image2 extracted_images/images%05d.png
Moving on, let's say you just wanted 25 frames from the first 1 second, then this line will work:
ffmpeg -i input.dv -r 25 -t 00:00:01 -f image2 images%05d.png
The -t flag in FFmpeg specifies the length of time to transcode. This can either be in whole seconds or hh:mm:ss format.
Making things a little more complex we can create images from all frames, beginning at the tenth second, and continuing for 5 seconds, with this line:
ffmpeg -i input.dv -r 25 -ss 00:00:10 -t 00:00:05 -f image2 images%05d.png
The -ss flag is used to denote start position, again in whole seconds or hh:mm:ss format.
Maybe extracting an image from every single frame in a video, resulting in a large number of output files, is not what you need. Here's how to create a single indicative poster frame, of the video clip, from the first second of footage:
ffmpeg -i input.dv -r 1 -t 00:00:01 -f image2 images%05d.png
Notice that the -r flag is now set to 1.
If you want the poster frame from a different part of the clip, then specify which second to take it from using the -ss tag, in conjunction with the line above.
Lastly, if you wanted to create a thumbnail story board, showing action throughout the entire length of the video clip, you'll need to specify the output image dimensions. Use the following line:
ffmpeg -i input.dv -r 1 -f image2 -s 120x96 images%05d.png
My original file was 720×576, so the image dimensions are a whole division of this.

How David Prior grew yoghurt brand five:am to an $80m company in five years
PUBLISHED: 08 Aug 2014 12:43:00 | UPDATED: 12 Aug 2014 09:50:26PUBLISHED: 08 Aug 2014 PRINT EDITION: 12 Aug 2014David Prior, outgoing chief executive of organic yoghurt company five:am at the factory in Carrum Downs. 'I'm going to take some time off to go surfing and come back next year with a fresh mind and see what's next.' Photo: Arsineh Houspian
Caitlin Fitzsimmons and Sue Mitchell
Entrepreneur David Prior is "still feeling mixed emotions" after signing a deal on Friday morning to sell his organic yoghurt start-up five:am for $80 million.
"I'm happy the deal is done because it's always a tiring and draining process [to sell a business]," Prior says. "I'm a little sad that five:am no longer belongs to my family, when it's something we started and put a lot of love and passion into."
The buyer was UK-based consumer products company PZ Cussons, a FTSE 250 company on the London Stock Exchange. PZ Cussons is emerging as a key player in the Australian food industry, having also bought baby food maker Rafferty's Garden for $70 million from Anacacia Capital in July 2013.
Prior was the sole owner of five:am, according to the Australian Securities and Investment Commission. He stands to make another $14 million under an earn-out agreement if five:am achieves sales targets in the next 12 months. Prior had originally put in $4 million of his own money and there are a few loan repayments and fees to come out of the $80 million, but he agrees he is in line for a substantial payday.
The deal came about because five:am was working with Macquarie Bank to try to find joint venture partners to take the brand into Asia. As Prior started talking to PZ Cussons, both parties became more comfortable with each other and it evolved into a complete buyout.
Prior had also considered an initial public offering but opted against it because he did not believe the market's focus on short-term results would be good for the business.
"I just didn't believe the public space was for me and I didn't feel it served our interests best. When you run a business on gut feel it's a very different approach," he says. "Their offer was not necessarily the highest cash offer we received but I believe they are the best acquirers and best home for the brand."
The next move
The five:am plant will continue operating at its site on the Mornington Peninsula in Victoria with 80 staff. However, Prior will leave the company as soon as the handover is complete.
He is already thinking about his next move and says he will "definitely" go into business for himself again, possibly in food but certainly in fast-moving consumer goods.
"It's not that it's totally formulated but I know that definitely by next year I will have moved on to something else. But for the moment I'm concentrating on finalising this and having a smooth transition with Cussons," Prior says.
"I'm going to take some time off to go surfing and come back next year with a fresh mind and see what's next. There's still some things I'd like to do. I really love the whole process of building brands, and [at 44] I'm still relatively young and don't want to go and retire."
Five:am was founded in July 2009 and the product range launched in Woolworths in March 2011. Prior founded it with $4 million in savings from his share of selling the family business, food packaging company Baroda, to Visy in August 2007.
"It was a combination of my own life savings, mortgaging the house and then [borrowing] where we could from various banks," Prior says.
"There was no way that the banks were going to get involved unless they could see that the founder had put everything on the line. [My wife] understood the risks and at the end of the day we were in it together. I told her that if it didn't work, I was going to become a yoga teacher."
He says that risking everything was a psychological advantage for him in the early days of building a business. He has previously told BRW about working 23-hour days in the final days before the Woolworths launch.
"Putting it all on the line is an advantage because there is absolutely no room to fail," Prior says. "Sometimes I wonder if my next venture – if it's discretionary investment – whether when things get tough I'll still have that incredible will to get it done. There are pluses and minuses but you're right that I probably won't put it all on the line next time."
His wife, formerly a shoe designer, "kept the home fires burning" as the primary caregiver for the couple's six-year-old daughter.
British invasion
PZ Cussons has 40 per cent of the local baby food market, on par with that of global market leader Heinz, and a leading share of the organic yoghurt market, which is evolving from a niche product sold at a premium in health food stores into an affordable mainstream product available in major supermarkets.
PZ Cusson's previous presence in the Australian food market was limited to imports of Minerva olive oil and cheese.
Cussons Australia chief executive Nigel Simonsz says the five:am deal is consistent with the group's strategy to acquire and develop leading brands in high-value categories and pursue growth in domestic and international markets through wider distribution and expansion into new categories.
"We feel the acquisition of five:am is complementary to our existing food and nutrition business with Rafferty's," Simonsz says. "We genuinely believe five:am delivers a superior taste profile. It has a strong organic position in the category and it has Australian providence credentials."
Cusson's $80 million purchase price, which values five:am at a multiple of 12.8 times earnings before interest tax depreciation and amortisation, reflects the growth potential of the three-year-old business.
It exceeds the 12 times EBITDA paid by Canadian processor Saputo after a six-month battle for control of Warrnambool Cheese and Butter and highlights strong foreign interest in Australian dairy assets.
The market for organic food is booming, not just in Australia but also as an export business to Asia. Baby formula and food company Bellamy's Organic successfully listed on the Australian Securities Exchange earlier this week, buoyed by excitement about the potential exports to China.
Prior believes this trend will continue.
"The more we see issues around the security of food supply, particularly in places like China where you read articles showing that one-fifth of their land is contaminated," he says. "It's natural that the consumer there wants the best quality produce for themselves and their families and we're very lucky in Australia to have that clean, green, healthy environment and our food products are going to be more and more in demand."
Prior says the Australian government can help grow the nation's food exports in two ways: firstly by keeping the regulatory framework strong so that Australian organic produce is the highest quality you can buy and secondly through industry-level marketing efforts to promote Australia as a brand in food supply.

I wasn't overly impressed, but it is a nice sheer gloss with a light fruity smell. It is sort of sticky and lasts longer than cheaper glosses.
This lip gloss is really glossy and sticky. It has a sort of sweet smell which isn't too overwhelming. The gloss lasts pretty long.
My first JT and still one of my faves. Yes, it's almost clear. Yes, the scent is quite strong--it does smell like jelly donuts. It lasts a while, feels great on my lips and makes my lips look especially glossy. This is my favorite work gloss.
No, this is not a very pigmented JT, but it's still a good one. On me, it's mostly clear with a slight milky pink tint. I love the texture and I find JTs to be very moisturizing. Some people want a lot of pigment in their lip glosses but I prefer sheer glosses. This is why I always come back to JTs.
This not-overly-sticky, shiny gloss is great! I can't wait to get more Juicy Tubes and have only the best to say about it!
Did anyone else notice that this scented with the exact same fruity smell as all of L'Oreal's CJ's?! Otherwise, this is just a basic clearish gloss.
this lip gloss makes my lips so smooth and shiny! it tastes really sweet (sort of cotton candy??) but not too overpowering. it is a little sticky but i think it's worth it because i love how it looks on my lips.
JTs are very nice...but this has become my plain Jane day gloss with a brown liner and alternatively a night time lip balm...that's it. I have so many other glosses that offer more of a punch...I probably wouldn't buy this again. I thought this would be more like MAC's Underage, which is nice albeit sticky. This is crystal clear and quite boring. I felt the same way about MAC's clear lipglass tube, which I barely use especially at night for fear of being glued to my pillow (lol)!
More reviews by carrieslikewhoa
Okay, so the color isnt anything too special, its a sheer milky pink that looks basically clear with a tinge of pink on me. No shimmer, no sparkle, no fuss. Just clear pinkish.
The smell is WONDERFUL. Smells like raspberry donuts or something equally tasty. Everyone loves the way this one smells.
A wonderful springy gloss. I love it!

The bird of paradise is one of the world's most colorful and beautiful exotic flowers. A native of South Africa that requires warmth to survive, the bird of paradise is a popular ornamental garden plant in warmer parts of Florida and California, but also makes an attractive tropical houseplant. It will brighten your home in winter with beautiful blue and orange blooms.
Plant your indoor bird of paradise in a rich potting medium with good drainage, such as Miracle-Gro® Potting Mix. In spring and summer, keep the soil moist and feed your plant every 7-14 days with Miracle-Gro® Water Soluble All Purpose Plant Food. In the fall and winter, let the soil dry out between waterings and feed monthly. Repot young bird of paradise plants every spring to give them plenty of room to grow.
If you're fortunate enough to live in a year-round warm climate where there is little or no threat of frost, you can grow bird of paradise in your garden. Plant it in rich, loamy soil where it will get full sun. Besides regular watering and good drainage, bird of paradise needs a steady supply of nutrients. Feeding with Miracle-Gro® Shake ?n Feed® Continuous Release All Purpose Plant Food every 3 months during the growing season will aid growth and flowering.
Also known as crane flower, the bird of paradise plant gets its name from its flowers, which resemble brightly colored birds in flight. The blooms are a staple of tropical bouquets and are often thought of as the symbol of tropical flowers.

How can you be sure a brain tumor is not cancerous?
Lisa Lycksell MSN, CRNP Nurse Practitioner at Penn Medicine, responds:
You can never be sure that a brain tumor isn't cancerous unless it is biopsied.
Jun 14, 2011 - The mobile phone radio frequency energy dose absorbed at a tumor location depends on tumor location, phone type, network properties, and conditions of use, and individuals with high mobile phone use may have an increased risk of gliomas in the most exposed areas of the brain, according to two studies published online June 9 in Occupational & Environmental Medicine.

I am looking for suggestions from experienced Tacoma owners to pick a suspension lift for my stock 04 TRD.
My truck is my daily driver so Im not looking for a 9 lift with 42 swampers.
Id like to install no greater than a 5 suspension lift using my 265/70R16 and want to spend less than $1000, if possible.
Ive found the following online:
Rough Country 2.5 for $239.95
Summit Racing 3 for $703.25
Some Questions
1) Cost vs. Quality
New Leaf Springs vs. Add-A-leaf?
2) Cost vs. Quality
New Front Coil Springs vs. Spacers?
3) Any other required parts for the kits I listed above?
Im a mechanical engineer but certainly not a mechanic, so any important suspension install aspects or other things to heavily consider when choosing a lift kit are much appreciated.
Thanks for any assistance.

Hello, I'm new to defensive carry, and I think I'm ready to take the big step. I have a handgun permit. I need some advice on the sort of equipment that will best fit my needs! You'll see that I have a number of questions, and I'm appealing to the collective experience and knowledge of this forum for assistance.
This is what I'm thinking at the moment. I am considering carrying a pocket gun. Here's why:
1. My office does not allow guns, and this is a given I'll need to work with. (Please don't suggest ignoring this rule.) So if I want to carry during the commute, I'll need to leave the gun in the car in the parking lot. It's hard for me to imagine undoing my pants, strapping on an IWB holster, and putting in a compact or full size pistol every time I arrive at or leave my office. So this suggests a pocket gun.
2. We wear at least a jacket, if not a suit & tie, at work. In winter, typically we wear long coats. Even if I am allowed to carry a big gun in an IWB, it's hard for me to imagine how I'll get it out on the street. ("Hold on there, Mr. Mugger. Let me button my coat and fumble around with all this heavy fabric so I can pull out my intimidating government 1911 in .45 ACP.") It seems that a pocket pistol in the outside pocket or in the chest pocket would mean faster access.
Is there a way to carry a bigger gun, given the restrictions of my office and my work attire? I really would prefer something bigger than a pocket gun. Here are the reasons against carrying a pocket gun:
1. I have a Ruger LC9. I hate it. I especially hate the long trigger that breaks so close to the grip that the gun shifts in my hand. I shoot poorly with it, even though I have decent accuracy with my full size 1911. So when I've carried, I opted to carry the 1911 instead. I have no confidence in my ability with the LC9. This makes me wonder whether I'll be a similarly shooter with other pocket pistols. Right now I think it's mostly the LC9 trigger. But I'm sure I shoot better with a bigger gun.
2. Obviously, a pocket gun is in a weaker caliber, and a shorter barrel doesn't help. This is kind of like my first objection: it doesn't help to carry a defensive tool that is insufficient, whether because I can't use it well, or because it's just a weak tool. It really would be nicer to have a bigger gun with more powerful rounds, and just more rounds in the magazine.
If a pocket gun is the compromise I must make, I'm leaning towards the Sig P238 in .380. I'm primarily a 1911 shooter, and I like P238's similarity to the 1911. It seems small enough to pocket, whereas the LC9, for me, is too big to pocket, and outside of the pocket it's too small compared to compact guns. I'd like to either move down or move up in size from the LC9. The Sig P238 also seems big enough of a mouse gun so I can actually have a hold of the mouse. I thought about the even tinier NAA and MPA guns, but they look too small for shooting comfort.
If I can manage to carry a compact gun, I'm leaning towards the S&W M&P 9c. But then here's something else I'm wondering about. Guns like the 9c, the Glock 26, or the Springfield XD subcompact, all have short barrels -- not much longer than the LC9. LC9's barrel length is 3.12". Glock 26's barrel length is 3.43". That 0.31" difference probably won't translate to greater muzzle velocity, greater impact energy, reliable expansion of the JHP and all that good stuff. So basically with a compact gun, I'm just looking at a more comfortably shooting gun with more rounds, compared to the LC9 I already have?
I guess on a non-workday, I can carry my full size 1911, though I'm not sure how to CC this successfully. without a butt-length jacket to conceal the pointy bits poking out from underneath the shirt/pants. And, again, I'm not sure how to carry a big gun in winter when I'm wearing a big coat. If there is a good thread on conceal carrying the 1911, please do share.

Man Goes Deer Hunting In Wal-Mart Parking Lot
By editor
Originally published on Tue October 22, 2013 6:53 am
Good morning, I'm Steve Inskeep.
You how it is with deer hunting, you have to get the right gear. You think about the time and place. You might build a deer stand, a kind of treehouse to shoot from high ground. Or you can do like a man in Indiana, Pennsylvania. He spotted a deer in the Wal-Mart parking lot and he shot it right there. The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review says he got six months' probation, even though it was, in all fairness, the first day of hunting season when he opened fire.
It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.


text: This post is exactly what I am looking for. My family and I leave today to head to Chattanooga. I called yesterday to inquire and the lady with the state said most places that are off limits are posted. I know we will be hitting the aquarium and several of the other tourist spots. We are also going to a fireworks show at "the river". We dont drink but plan to do some pretty fine eating while we are there. Any suggestions. Do any of these places throw redflags.

TD-Complete Submission
What to expect when you're expecting (an acceptance letter)
4.15 / 5.00 4,376 ViewsThe show returns, bigger and badder then ever.
Now with improved graphics, animation, and for the first time ever, actual real voices.
Edit: Holy frontpage Batman.
niccccce oh right... Great flash man i really wana know if they will stay there...forever....
I don't get it. Is this animation 6000 frames per second? ;)
That nose guy voice is amazing. I'll need you in a nose guy film.
Well it does seem like 6000 at times, especially when you've got 14000 frames of lip sync to do.
I might have to throw Nose Guy in some future episodes, he seems to be becoming quite the popular secondary character.
I miss Hypnos' old voice
I basically agree with everything gastrictank said. I think that you should not change your whole style just to please a few fans. If they don't like the style of the Carbonwater show, then they can watch some of your other series, or any other cartoon on newgrounds. By the way, don't listen to ImperialNarwhal. He's just happy because his complaining, along with a bunch of other people, made you change your style too early in the series.
Too late to turn back now.
it was aight
i likes the "it never gets dark!.... ever...." joke lolo
and i for one thing that on occasion the micro soft sam voice is funny. mayby for liek 1 character but if its constantly everyone sounding like microsoft sam its freakin annoying.

Hey ya'll,
I'm trying to break free from the facebook death-grip, but unfortunately I don't want to have to lose all of my playlists with no hope of getting them back (unless I open a spreadsheet and make a list of each of the thousand songs saved, then re-save those songs into another spotify account). I already tried to open a new account and start from scratch, but I'm losing a ton of work I've poured into the perfect playlists. Is there any reassurance that I will still be able to keep my account if I delete/deactivate my facebook? Or another way to change to another blank facebook account? Aye...
Solved! Go to Solution.
PS, I did originally sign up using my facebook account which seems to make a difference. But no there's no way to change username/etc? Kinda' lame...
I broke free from the Facebook death-grip several months ago and I don't regret it at all. Freedom!
Likewise, I originally signed up for Spotify via my FB account, and when I deactivated my FB account and logged into Spotify, it reactivated my FB account. (You can't "delete" your FB, you can only deactivate it -- scary, huh?)
Anyhow, I contacted Spotify via their help form and they worked some kind of voodoo that transferred all my playlists to a new account. Don't think there's a way to do it without them manually doing it for you.
Welcome to the Facebook-free life, fellow human!
Hey :)
I have outlined all of the ways you can disconnect your account from Facebook in a handy tutorial here. If you would rather someone from Spotify do it for you, just get in touch with the link at the top of the guide and one of their lovely advisors will be able to help you set up a new non-Facebook account.

Wrong! https://www.facebook.com/help/delete_account
Go for it, if you want. Make sure your Spotify is safe before you do that, though, because that will really delete your account entirely!
Thanks Peter! The trick of dragging the playlists from the old Spotify Account to the desktop, then dragging the shortcuts into the new account and placing them into new playlists with the same name was exactly what I was looking for.
PS, I'm the original author. Somehow it wouldn't let me use the original Mr_Squirrel username...
Glad its all working! :)

If you see your size don't wait to order like I did as you wil end up getting 1/2 a size larger. This ring is more than worth the money you will pay for it.

These are wonderful reviews which would also make great exemplars of reviews of visual texts. Visual literacy is increasingly important in newer English curricula, but can be hard to work into courses. Check your picture book collection and collaborate with your English department to create a short, discrete visual literacy/review assignment they could work between units.

Proctor Out Until Christmas
Jamie Proctor will play through the pain barrier for the next two games before facing a spell on the sidelines of six weeks.
Proctor has a hernia problem which needs an operation and so was rested at the weekend against Huddersfield. Due to the striker shortage, Proctor will play alongside Tsoumou tonight and on Saturday if he is not feeling any ill effects.
Phil Brown has said that the striker can play through the pain but has been pencilled in for an operation on 1 November which will then keep him out for 6 weeks. It is hoped that both Hume and Mellor will be fit by the time Proctor goes under the knife.

And then he wakes to this city life, into the formlessness of these days. According to Shkurtan, the old people say the country ended in 1990, when the Communists lost power. He once organized fifty workers, 300 people. "Haki was the most correct," he said, and a fantastic worker, but he was an enemy of the Communist state. Shkurtan made Haki's life hard for many years, but they were still good friends, more so now than ever. The phone rang—and in fact it was Haki on the other end.
Shkurtan smiled, his wrinkles bunching until he appeared young again.
"It's so good to hear your voice," he said. From the phone came a sound crackling from afar, indistinguishable.
"How are you?" asked Shkurtan.
"Do you have food in the house?"
"How's the calf?"
"And the blood-feud family? Tell them to take cover, because you never know."
"Are you lonely, Haki? I'm lonely."
"Do not feel lonely, okay?"
When he hung up the phone, he seemed spent. He reached for his espresso, shakily. It was almost time for a nap. Yesterday he'd spent the whole day in bed, sick, thinking of Sosa. He'd never return to the valley, he knew that. The road was too difficult.
"These are the last days for burrneshas," he said, as a matter of fact more than sentiment. "And then who will be left to look up to?"
From the shaking of his head yes and no, which meant no and yes, I still had no idea what Ermal—or his God—thought of what we'd seen. But as he drove me back to the hotel on the last night in Tirana, he told me something he'd probably been waiting to say for a while. When it came to the burrneshas, no, it wasn't right to exist in this in-between; everyone should live as their sex—and not in this sort of confusion and loneliness. He was glad that the burrneshas were nearing extinction, glad for the burrneshas themselves especially.
As Ermal was talking, the streetlights slid by on the wet windows, and the night beyond was very black and starless. The burrneshas were sleeping—Haki in his valley; Lume on her mountaintop; Hajdari on the plain; Lule, in his loneliness; Mark, in anger; and Shkurtan, dreaming of big-hearted tomatoes. I was reminded of something Hajdari had said when I asked why, if the Kanun made allowance for sworn virgins to live as men, did it not make the same allowance for men to live as women. It was, to him-her, an obvious and very stupid question. "If a boy dresses and acts as a girl, it would be humiliating," Hajdari said. "He deserves a bad beating."
For a burrnesha, it was about the oath, about vowing to find a place and purpose in your family, and country, that offered no place for you.
I would have thought Ermal would have felt differently, after all we'd seen. He was so companionable, and he'd shown such an easy way with the burrneshas. He'd wrap an arm around the older ones, be very respectful in their presence. For a man who believed so fervently in his God's purity, and that spiritual otherworld, I thought he'd be quick to acknowledge the otherworld before our eyes, to allow that there might be things of confusion and wonder on this pocked road, in this wild country, and let them be.
In Haki's garden one last time, he smoked and simmered. He told me that he'd survived some very hard times. But he'd always had the house, the barn, the garden. He'd always had the well, and the fresh water in it. And he had relative peace. Because the next-door neighbors were in a blood feud, half of them had fled to France—and yet Haki was square with the world. He was still in charge of cleaning the mosque, lighting the candles there. He took care of his honeybees and the little orchard.
All of it was worth the isolation and now the loneliness that crept up in winter, when you found yourself in the winter of your own life. "The only thing I fear," said Haki, "is the snow." And it would come soon. Two winters earlier had brought a blizzard, leaving drifts over the house. The well froze. Bodies of old people piled up in the road, and helicopters took them away. Meanwhile, Haki's front door had been blocked by a wall of snow, and he panicked a little, trying to dig out with his bare hands. He knew the cow needed feeding. That's all he could think: Must feed the cow. It took several hours for him to dig, and climb, and he reached the barn roof exhausted, his fingers frozen, and started digging down, when suddenly he slipped and fell ten feet, landing on his back in a little ravine of the shifting snowscape. He lay there a long time, accepting that perhaps now it really was his time to die. The snow sifted down, covering him. He closed his eyes.
An hour later, he woke to stars, moved his arm, his leg, the other arm, then leg. He propped himself on his elbows and slowly regained his feet. Dusted the snow off. Finally got himself into the barn. Fed the cow—and tunneled back into the house. Once there, he wrapped himself in blankets and went to bed for a couple of days until the rescuers showed up. His family called, urging him to leave, but he refused. No way was he going to leave that damn cow behind.
"But it's just a cow," said one family member.
"I'm not leaving the cow," said Haki stubbornly, and they knew better than to argue. Remembering it now, Haki inhaled and blew out a cloud of smoke, eyes glinting over the house and barn again, to the mullaret, or cone-shaped haystacks, in the field, golden in the light.
"I need to maintain," he said. "I need to protect what I have."
And with that, he said, "I think we're done," quietly but emphatically, as if we really were, and led Ermal and me to the gate and the road, making sure we were in our car and well on our way before he turned and went back inside, to all the freedom she would have otherwise lost, had it not belonged to him.

History & Culture
NPS Abraham Lincoln and his family moved from Kentucky to Indiana in 1816 and stayed until 1830 when they moved to Illinois. During this period, Lincoln grew physically and intellectually into a man. The people he knew here and the things he experienced had a profound influence on his life. His sense of honesty, his belief in the importance of education and learning, his respect for hard work, his compassion for his fellow man, and his moral convictions about right and wrong were all born of this place and this time. The time he spent here helped shape the man that went on to lead the country. This site is our most direct tie with that time of his life. Lincoln Boyhood preserves the place where he learned to laugh with his father, cried over the death of his mother, read the books that opened his mind, and triumphed over the adversities of life on the frontier. NPS For over thirty years, the State of Indiana administered and operated the memorial to Abraham Lincoln and his mother, but in 1962, in recognition of its national significance, Congress authorized the creation of Lincoln Boyhood National Memorial. That act was the climax of nearly a century of increasing interest in appropriately honoring and preserving the home and gravesite. The National Park Service assumed responsibility for maintaining and operating the park. Since that time the park has evolved from a primarily commemorative site to a place where people can come to honor the memory of the man and learn something of his life as well. |

Re: OT Mark Cuban Charged With Insider Trading Not at the moment; according to the link it's a civil complaint, not a criminal one.
She went to jail for perjury not for insider trading. She could have, and should have, struck a deal to avoid jail.
Actually it was obstruction since she wasn't under oath. Bill Clinton committed perjury (a felony) because he lied under oath. And he wasn't even disbarred.
I saw that headline in a newspaper but, it read Cuban charged with insider trading. And I thought Cubans are insider trading? :confused2:

Stoke-on-Trent ring road work 'could start in August'
Work to build the final link of Stoke-on-Trent's ring road could start in six months at a cost of £12m, the city council said.
The stretch from Etruria through to Vale Place was first planned in 2002.
The council will decide whether to approve the proposed spending of £12m on Thursday.
Officials hope that completing the ring road will open up derelict land and create job opportunities.

Ruby red in color with garnet hues. Well-structured, this wine's characteristics exemplify the perfect union of the three varieties that make up the Modus blend. Hints of tobacco and spice lead to inviting aromas of cherries, blackberries and plums. This full-bodied wine is rich with refined, silky tannins and a long finish of vanilla and red berry essence.
Modus is delicious with versatile meat dishes such as Bistecca alla Fiorentina, sausage with escarole and fagioli beans, marinated flank steak, and pairs equally well with grilled stuffed Portobello mushrooms and aged hard cheeses.
In 1913, the Folonari family purchased Ruffino and brought new talent, energy and enthusiasm into the company. They started on a nearly century-long pursuit to develop a collection of estates in Tuscany, all of which matched the standard of quality and uniqueness which was the trademark of Ruffino wine.
Over the last sixty years, Ruffino has established seven prominent estates in Tuscany, all situated within the major DOCG production regions including Brunello di Montalcino, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, Chianti and Chianti Classico. Today, Ruffino continues to meld century-long Tuscan traditions with new state-of-the-art cellar technology and modern winemaking for an ideal symbiosis with the energy of the contemporary Italian lifestyle.
Francis puts it best, saying the winery is meant to be "a wine wonderland, a park of pleasure where people of all ages can enjoy all the best things in life – food, wine, music, dancing, games, swimming and performances of all types. A place to celebrate the love of life."
In 2007, the 2005 vintage of the McLaren Vale Shiraz was released and a new wine, a 2006 Unwooded Chardonnay, was introduced. Both were very well received and demand soared after rave reviews from Wine Spectator and Wine Enthusiast magazines. Before the end of 2007, two new wines were introduced by Razor's Edge: a McLaren Vale Cabernet Sauvignon and a McLaren Vale Shiraz Grenache.
The South Australian wine industry is responsible for more than half the production of all Australian wine. The state of South Australia has a vast diversity in geography and climate which allows the state to be able to successfully produce a wide range of grape varieties, from cool climate Rieslings in the Clare Valley, to big and full-bodied Shiraz in the Barossa. Like with most agriculture in Australia, irrigation is a vital component to the success of the South Australian wine industry. Some of Australia's most well known wines are produced here.
Vines are grown at all types of altitudes in South Australia from the low valley regions of the Barossa up to the 1,970ft vineyards in the Eden Valley. The soil type is also varied across the region from the well known terra rosa of Coonawarra, the limestone-marl based soils of the Adelaide, to the sandy, clay loam based soils of the Barossa.
Assertive, full-flavored "country style" cooking such as: Venison or rabbit stew; Ossobuco; Roast leg of lamb; Spaghetti puttanesca; Pasta with sausage, pepper and onions; Roast duck with green peppercorn sauce.
Each lot of wine is treated separately to respect its unique flavor profile. This approach starts in our vineyards and continues in the cellar. We keep some lots in cool-temperature stainless steel to maintain fresh, crisp aromas and fruit flavors; and age some lots in a combination of French barrels.
Floral bouquet nose with a dominance of honeysuckle. Muscat is the defining/alluring factor in the aroma of this wine. Enters round with a Chardonnay weight to it then quickly lightens up to reveal the additional varietals. Sauvignon Blanc adds an herbal element while the Viognier adds a spicy character. The Chardonnay brings weight mid palate and Muscat adds an undeniable honey character to finish things off.
The "conundrum", or puzzle, of this wine is in guessing which grapes make up the blend; a combination that includes Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Muscat Canelli, Semillon and Viognier. Conundrum is a true California wine, with grapes sourced from Napa, Monterey, Santa Barbara and Tulare counties. Winemaker Jon Bolta began to craft the style for Conundrum in 1988.
The twist cap closure protects the fine aromas and flavors of this distinctive blend, allowing the bottle to be easily re-closed and refrigerated. The airtight cap also eliminates the possibility of cork taint.
Conundrum is owned by the Wagner family of Caymus Vineyards, but stands on its own as a separate brand. The Conundrum winery in Monterey County is close to the sources for most of the grape varietals that make up the wine.
Chateau Ste. Michelle receives some of the highest accolades in the industry, including "American Winery of the Year" by Wine Enthusiast for 2004 and "2005 Winery of the Year" by Restaurant Wine. In addition, the winery's Eroica Riesling, crafted from a partnership with German winemaker Ernst Loosen, has been named to Wine Spectator's prestigious "Top 100" wines list for five consecutive years.
Chateau Ste. Michelle is one of the few premium wineries in the world with two state-of-the-art wineries, one devoted to whites and another to reds. This dedicated approach to winemaking allows winemaker Bob Bertheau to build winemaking programs to the unique specifications of red and white wines. While all of Chateau Ste. Michelle's vineyards are located on the east side of the Cascade Mountains where the climate is dry and sunny, Bob Bertheau makes the award winning white wines in Woodinville, 15 miles northeast of Seattle. The winery's expansive, 87-acre estate hosts more than 250,000 visitors annually for tours, tastings, dinners and outdoor summer concerts.
