Want to scare an agency IT professional? Ask if you can put your unlocked iPhone on the internal agency network, and chuckle as your victim ages before your eyes. Federal IT leaders are tearing their hair out trying to determine how to best manage the growing demand for personal devices on secure networks, also known as bring your own device or BYOD.
The collective freaking out over BYOD, while justified, misses the larger point: The fight between agency IT departments and end users isn't over devices. It's over the applications on those devices.
Federal workers rely on a variety of applications, from calendars to task tracking to productivity suites, to do their jobs, but those applications might not be available on their government-issued devices.
It's not just agency business workers either. Even government IT professionals are trying to get access to mobile apps to help them do their jobs more effectively.
Love the app, hate the device
It's called "bring your own application," or BYOA. By addressing it, agency IT teams can avoid the security snarl posed by BYOD. More than just giving end users what they want in the form of a wider choice of mobile apps, delivering on the promise of BYOA can also offer IT departments far more security and stability in their operations, especially in the face of BYOD chaos.
From a purely functional standpoint, BYOA is the same as BYOD, except for the fact that application management is far easier to implement than device management, especially on an ever-growing scale that includes multiple versions of Windows Mobile, iOS and every flavor of Android imaginable. Keep in mind that BYOA doesn't mean every application will be given a green light. Instead, only those that have a measurable business use and can meet agency IT security criteria will be allowed.
BYOA, however, is easier said than done. How does an agency embrace customized mobile business apps while keeping rogue devices at bay? Some federal entities are already using one emerging strategy of an app store coupled with simultaneous control of the server-side applications to which the users' apps connect.
DIY enterprise applications
Agency app stores, similar to the General Services Administration's apps.USA.gov or the Defense Department's pending storefront, would feature agency-approved applications that are either created internally or, more likely, delivered by third-party providers for agency use. That allows for end-user customization while making agency IT professionals' lives that much easier, at least in theory.
With almost every BYOA client application on a mobile device, there will be a server-based, agency-monitored app that controls authentication and access to the data. That client/server relationship makes it easy to add layers of access control to specific apps, which are managed on the agency side via secure authentication and authorization technologies.
Go Web, young man
For agencies that are too concerned about security to readily engage bring your own anything, an alternative (maybe BYOA-Lite) could be the adoption of another emerging trend: mobile-friendly Web applications. Rather than focusing on client/server applications, agency IT professionals could begin directing users to secure, mobile-friendly portals for standardized apps, much like they already do for tasks such as email.
Personal devices would be treated like any non-standard device, and additional security layers could be added via a secure token or fob. That would eliminate a potential "app of the week" scenario while still giving agency IT teams continuous control over their app ecosystem.
Even in the private sector, BYOA adoption is very much in its infancy. But given the struggles that BYOD has brought about, agencies need to stop fighting over devices and start embracing a wider swath of mobile applications, and perhaps even solve a few additional IT headaches along the way.

László Bíró (Spanish: Ladislao José Biro)
The inventor of the modern ballpoint pen.
He was born in Budapest on 29 September 1899, as László József Schweiger into a Jewish family. Bíró later converted to Lutheranism in 1938.
Bíró was originally a journalist and was the editor of the newspaper Hongrie from 1933–34. He also enjoyed some success as a Surrealist painter. He was working as a journalist when he noticed that the ink used for printing newspapers dried quickly and was relatively smudge free. He tried using the same ink in a fountain pen, but found that it would not flow to the top, as it was too thick and viscous. With his brother, György, a chemist, he developed a new type of pen, the tip consisting of a ball that could rotate in a socket picking up ink from the cartridge. Biro first presented his invention at the Budapest International Fair in 1931, he patented the ballpoint pen 7 years later in Paris.
László and György Bíró emmigrated to Argentina in 1943 and filed another patent, forming Biro Pens of Argentina (ballpoint pens are known in Argentina as "biromes"). The British Royal Airforce licensed the design and started producing ballpoint pens, because they found they worked better at high altitudes than fountain pens. Marcel Bich bought the patent in 1945 and began selling ballpoint pens as the main product of his company, Bic.
The "Biro" trademark Biro became a proprietary eponym for ballpoint pens in many English speaking countries, including the UK, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand. Although the word is a registered trademark, it is common for people to refer to ballpoint pens as biros. The company keeps a close watch on use of the trademark and will often write to publications for using the name non-capitalized or as a generic name for pens.

Just in case someone is interested in the topic: http://phoronix.com/forums/showthrea...ion-New-WebKit
I used systemd on arch for a while, but I'm back with sysvinit. Its just simpler to configure. And TBH on my machine I get no difference in boot time with systemd (and yes when I used it I used a "pure" systemd setup, with only native systemd units). The biggest improvement I get with my boot time in arch is using fedora-readahead + a light login manager (Right now I am quite liking LXDM)
I'm already getting 15-17 seconds to a usable XFCE desktop with compiz/emerald/dockbarx on a 5400rpm laptop drive anyway

Interesting thread. Systemd provides hooks for scripts... so the scripting argument can really be used. If I found one things I didn't like is that in sysvinit you had the ability to set shell ulimits globally using /etc/initscript as a frontend to all scripts executed in init. I guess what I'd like to see is the idea of ulimits promoted somehow (if it were possible) into cgroups. Since cgroups are how some limits are already done....
Just an idea.
Systemd is where everything is going.... like it or not. Yes... if you follow the list there are still lots of things being tweaked... so there will be some people affected by it.... it will all get fixed. But I think we're beyond the ability to discuss anything but an all systemd future at this point.
Is systemd easier? Yes and no. I think it's likely to be a better question to ask everyone a year from now. People tend to get used to the way things are done... and by that time, systemd will likely be considered easier. With that said, for those of us on heterogeneous networks, don't through away sysv style init since it still has some application there (though even there, much less than it used to).
I like how runlevels are being simulated ... not sure if that's a lasting thing or not (or even something outside of openSUSE)... but does ease things a bit. Also, I think the idea of preserving the command "service" is going to work going forward (?). I mean, it's already an abstraction mechanism... vs. making systemctl calls for start/stop.
I a bit concerned over the move to place everything into /usr... I understand the reasoning, and I suppose the idea of having a mandatory indirect point isn't necessarily a bad idea... so maybe this will grow on me. But I do wonder if the the folks pushing for this fully understand the reasons why it might be a bad idea (?).
Also concerned about the future of syslog*.... and daemons that will have to be changed to operate properly in a systemd world.... all fixable no doubt, just very different.
The quality issues in SUSE have been going on a lot longer than since they effectively became Microsoft Linux back in 2006 with the Novell deal, then were bought by a Microsoft-controlled shell company earlier this year. They have every reason to want to make Red Hat's software look bad. What better way than by making a half-hearted half-assed attempt at integrating systemd then claiming that the problems in the way they configured it were actually problems in its design?
Yeah only that these things just don't work like that. SuSE is owned by Attachmate Corporation and their goal is to make as much profit to their owners as possible not to please some other corporation. Do you honstly believe that if Microsoft was somehow sabotaging Novell that none of the thousands of developers would have spoken up? OpenSuSE is developed in the open and that's why things like that do not happen is secret. If you don't have any concrete evidence then spouting crap like that is just discrespectful towards the people who spent their time working on project that helps improve the Linux and open source ecosystem in total. But sure if you really have something please share.
Pretty much all "Open" SUSE does is use other distributions as an upstream, and apparently integrate it poorly. They don't really do a lot of their own stuff anymore.
"AttachMSFT" is a Microsoft Gold Partner.
The only thing their SUSE division is there to do is trumpet the few remaining proprietary software applications they scavenged from the wreckage of Novell and finish running SUSE into the ground, while claiming to offer cut rate Red Hat support hijacking in partnership with Microsoft (complete with a joint SUSE/Microsoft site that is signed with a Microsoft SSL certificate).
Businesses that fall for that will depend on Microsoft for support, and once you replace redhat-release with something from "MicroSUSE", you're not only no longer running RHEL, but you lose all of the certifications that RHEL has, including the ones that they have earned to verify that RHEL is dependable and secure enough for US government agencies.
I don't trust "Open" SUSE because they depend on the people at "AttachMSFT"'s "MicroSUSE" division holding the purse strings, owning the copyrights and trademarks to a good part of the distribution, deciding what goes in and how it is configured, or often, misconfigured...

YUP, it all makes sense now. I need this game, and didn't even realize it.
Glad I'm not the only one who heard random Vinny, otherwise I might be spooked.
I've never played a lot of Pac-Man, but this game changes everything. Those ghosts...
I hate Pac-Man, I want this.
When this hits the PS Network it will be a day-one perch.
Well this looks like the best game ever. I loved Pac Man CE but this game makes it look fucking boring in comparison.
Wasn't sure about getting this, but the demo was fun. Not to mention INSANE!
This quicklook was amazing, high volume menu music, excited Brad and eating ghost sound..Awesome!
Yeah I bought the game solely based on this quick look and hours later I haven't regretted it one bit. My favourite downloadable game of the year.
I would buy that game in the old classic Pac Man style just because of the awesome ghost train, but with those layers of level and ghost options on top, along with tons of modes and music...I can't get over how sweet everything looks! Awesome quick look. And lol@Brad ghostgasm
Man, I hope they play this during happy hour, with Brad driving. So much awesomeness could come from that.
I never played the original Pac-Man Championship Edition. I'm totally getting this though!
Ryan raised the point of me really wanting to try this game on E now...though I think my head may just explode.
Also Brad...really really likes ghost eating I think.
Wow I like how the maze music reminds me so much of Tekken( I know they're both Namco games)
The whole way through this Quick Look I was thinking about how awesome the game and the video were and whether I would be crazy for buying a third 360 to play it. At the end, when they said it was coming to PSN, my jaw literally dropped for the first time in my life. Fucking soooooooold.
I played the Demo and went to sleep and woke up realizing i cannot live without this game
I'm so excited to get this game. I played the demo on the 360 and I'm hooked. I'm gonna show everybody I know this game!
Been playing this nonstop, got 11 of 12 achievements fairly easy, jut need the 2 million on a 10 minute play now. I have come close but this is a game I REALLY wish I had that new D-pad controller. that analog stick is jenky sometimes on the sharp turns

Unbiased Reviews by Real People
One of the few remaining innocents in this world remains Minor League Baseball. Teams full of twenty-something year old kids getting paid to play baseball. It is a perfect life from all outward appearances. Bull Durham tries to give the viewer some insight into this life. Never having played professional baseball, I cannot speak to the reality of the movie. All I can say is that this is how one would hope the experience is in real life. Kevin Costner (with a few exceptions) delivers a great performance as Crash Davis, the more mature, father-figure and catcher for the Durham Bulls of the Carolina League. He is in charge of grooming young pitching prospect "Nuke," played by Tim Robbins. The baseball aspects of this movie are amazing. Costner, a former college baseball player, is very believable as an athlete. Robbins also can pull-off the appearance of a Minor League pitcher. This movie is equal parts smart, funny, and sexy. A little too sexual for the kids, but perfect for those 15 and up. The sexual content is a key aspect of the movie. It is not a film that incorporates sex just to draw interest. This movie is fantastic. Bull Durham is a piece of Americana that is important for any baseball fan to see. Not only is this movie a "must see" for baseball fans, but it will make the casual baseball observer a hard-core fanatic. Every aspect of this movie is authentic. The music is good, including the important addition of "Centerfield" during on of the montage scenes. Another amazing feature of the film would be the ballparks. Each different stadium has that feeling associated with the Minor League Baseball experience. Buy Bull Durham. You are two decades late, but it is worth the wait.

Randy Moss is 35 years old and the fourth-leading receiver on his team, but Vikings coach Leslie Frazier said he's expecting the potentially dangerous SuperFreak of old when Moss plays his first regular-season game as an opponent at the Metrodome on Sunday.
"They still take some shots with him down the field," said Frazier, whose Vikings play the 49ers on Sunday. "There are times they're trying to get behind the secondary with him. So he still shows that if you blink, he can run by you. He's got that ability. He really seems to be rejuvenated in their offense. He's doing a good job."
Frazier also became possibly the first person ever to say this about the sometimes-moody Moss: "It seems like he's always motivated to play."
Moss, a starter opposite Michael Crabtree, has five catches for 61 yards (12.2) with a long of 20 yards and one touchdown in two games. He caught just one pass for 14 yards in last week's win over Detroit. Crabtree (13), tight end Vernon Davis (8) and receiver Mario Manningham (7) have more catches than Moss.
"I'm not sure of his role," Frazier said of Moss. "I know on tape they utilize him quite a bit. They bring him in in different packages and he's playing well for them. He's making some plays for their offense.
"He's had a great NFL career, as we all know, and had a lot of great years here in Minnesota. We have to do a good job when we line up against him because he can still make plays, as evidenced by what we're seeing on tape. I would expect him to be up for this game, as he is for every game. You look at his career. He's had a great career. There aren't many games where it seemed he wasn't ready to play. I'm sure he'll be prepared to play against us on Sunday."
Where do you start?
When it comes to slowing the San Francisco offense, the Vikings are in agreement that it starts with slowing the running game.
The 49ers, a physical team that has a pair of eight-point victories over 2011 playoff teams, have used their sixth-ranked rushing attack to set the tone. "They establish the running game, and once they do that, it opens up everything for the passing games," defensive end Brian Robison said. "They can play-action off of that, bootleg off of that. So, for us, it's about going out there, stopping the run and trying to make their offense a little more one-dimensional."
Easier said than done. The 49ers have run 59 times for 334 yards and two touchdowns in the first two games, a 5.7-average that is second-best in the league. And it's multi-faceted attack, even with Brandon Jacobs having missed the first two games. Frank Gore has averaged 6.1 yards per rush running mainly between the tackles while Kendall Hunter has provided a change of pace.
"Hunter is the guy who can bounce outside," Robison said. "He has the speed and the quickness to get outside and make a lot of plays on the edge. And then you have Gore, who wants to head downhill quick. We have to have awareness of which back is in the game, and be able to play off of that."
But that's not all.
"You get so concerned with the run, you fall asleep, and then they go deep on you," safety Jamarca Sanford said.
Passing time
Rookie safety Harrison Smith was nine years old when Randy Moss was a rookie sensation for the Vikings in 1998. Needless to say, he became a fan. And now he's about to face Moss, who has returned from a year out of the game to play for the 49ers.
"Sometimes it's funny looking at the rosters," said Smith, who has started both games. "When you're a rookie, there are some guys you grew up watching play, and he's one of those guys. He looks good. He can still run. He can still go get the ball. He's how I remember watching him."
Close quarters
Everson Griffen has shown his versatility since arriving here. He has been tried at linebacker, has played both defensive end and as a pass rusher from the tackle position on passing downs. In Indianapolis last week, rushing from the inside, he got the only sack by a Vikings defensive lineman this season.
So is it harder to pass rush from the inside?
"You can really use your same moves," he said. "You're just in tighter quarters. You just have to make them quicker, and that's the only thing. It happens quicker inside."

I was watching Brian Dawkins..making his video..and they were looking for someone who sounds a little similar like him to make the sound of being pumped afte tackle .. and they asked if he would accept the Harrison one saying YEAH!. Dawkins says: Oh yeah i'll take that.said hes not as good as him, Rodneys a mean dude but he loves him..loves game Just to add a little to a boring off season..seeing a great safety in NFL respects another great one..both big hitters
Good to see Harrison getting some good recognition from the other great safeties in the league. When Harrison is out there, I always get the feeling like our defense has the advantage over the offense. He is the leader of the defense and I figure...hey he can can keep that secondary looking good when you have some no name like Randall Gay...Troy Brown, Asante Samuel. He really led those guys in 2004 and it was amazing! It hurt to see no Harrison because I just watched how badly the secondary struggled. It was like they fell on their faces and coulnt get back up. But I know that with Bruschi, Vrabel...Colvin leading the linebackers, Seymour the D line and Rodney the secondary. If those leaders stay healthy I feel like they can do anything. Rodney is the #1 reason I look forward to next season, there are many...many things that I cant wait to see, new faces out there getting a shot to prove they can be a starter for us and a star. We are so lucky to have picked up Harrison as hes been IMO, the #1 leader of the defense for two years...obviously couldnt have been last year. And thats no disrespect to Bruschi or McGinnest what so ever. Rodneys incredible to be fighting through such an injury...hell doubters thought he would never play again, and I'm sure there are still doubters that he will ever be near the same...and I'm sure he will prove them wrong like the other thousand times he has! Oh yeah and I love the way how tough safeties are getting to be in this league. Secondarys as a whole are getting tougher...just look at the Patriots...or even one from the last few years they have been incredibly tough and hard hitting, small guys eager to throw their bodys at recievers and runningbacks, its great. Especially some of the younger guys in our secondary. Ie. Asante Samuel's hits on Jeb Putzier...Stokely two years ago and knocking Ricky William's flat on his @ss, that was classic
Each superbowl had a little 'missing ingredient' added to the Pat's team. 2001 was Brady and Seymour, to hold down the no name D-Line. 2003 was Washington and Harrison, with Harrison having the most fearsome year of any player that my eyes have ever witnessed at any position. 2004 was Dillon. It wasn't that he lead the team in tackles, it wasn't just the painful hits, it was the fact that he ran down all the plays that broke containment, and caught faster players from behind with SHEER WILLPOWER. It was him pancaking O-Lineman like in the Titans game. He was a football God for those two superbowl seasons, and he outplayed everybody else in the league, WITHOUT A QUESTION. At least that is what Brady says.
yeah and considering both are good citizens. they are top talent at their level and they really arent ****y .. dont cry for a lot of money..dont talk trash off field .. dont act like idiots. Dawkins, as scary as he is on the field, is really a cool dude and a good role model. Only thing i remember about him that might have people hate him is that he supplexed WRs for tackles..its illegal but he didnt want to hurt him by doing that. Harrison..he was ****y before..he was considered dirty but has been clean here. Good to see 2 great players from 2 great organizations having respect for one another..not saying "im the best" and actually being good around the community and great leaders may i add
I have to agree about Harrison and Dawkins. Both are outstanding players. Rodney was sorely missed last year, not just for everything he does on the field, either. That secondary looked lost at times and I have to think not having his steady presence back there was a major reason. Hopefully he can come back from the injury at some point and at least resemble his former self. But that's a devastating injury to rebound from.

Urban Environment
The aim of this course is to ecologically examine the past, present and future relations between cities, urbanization and nature; to introduce students to urban ecosystem science as a methodology for exploring resilience of complex urban systems and to encourage empirical, normative and imaginative reflection on the possibilities (and potential pathologies) that lie behind discourse of 'urban sustainability' and 'resilience'. The central objective of this course is to explore: historical and current scientific perspectives on human ecosystems and resilience; future prospects of the study of cities as ecosystems and how they can be resilient to rising urban pressures including climate change and development; key terms, concepts, frameworks, and models in urban ecology; issues involved in exploring socio-ecologies of urban systems; systems thinking and analysis. Urban Resilience provides an interdisciplinary approach to understanding urban environments by integrating biophysical and socio-economic forces (e.g., biology, economics, social science) to understand, predict, and manage the emergent phenomena we call cities so that they can be resilient to current and future change. We will cover such key questions as: What are complex adaptive social ecological systems? What has the recent study of urban ecology uncovered in the short time since it emerged as a new field of inquiry? Can cities be designed as sustainable and resilient systems? What is resilience and how are cities vulnerable to disturbances disasters and changing climate regimes? Students must have completed UENV 2400 prior to enrolling in this course.

text: looking at researching 1g of metribolone. (sorry about the format of the question, for some reason I can't use my 'Enter' Key) . I'm looking for .5mg/ml and producing 2000ml total. So, i'd planned on using 1999ML of a carrier. 1 Gal of Peg300 would run $110, while Humco Flavor Plus would cost about $60. Then I got to thinking. Is it possible to dilute the 1g of raw in something like 10-20ml of BB and mix it in a cheap carrier like canola oil? it's for oral use, not inj btw. I'm not exactly a newbie to homebrew, but I've always done everything "by the book" with peg300 as far as oral solutions go.

Installed Pro-Comp 3" lift with ABS issues
I have a 2011 Toyota Tacoma Sport that I installed the Pro-Comp Colis on my Bilstein 5100 struts to allow for the 285 70-17 Nitto Terra Grappler AT's. My question is when I am taking a curve to the right at about 40 mph my ABS is engaging but once I let off gas and straighten up it goes away. Any ideas? I bought the Pro-Comp 3" suspension lift with shocks but since the bilstein struts were same length I used the bilsteins instead of the explorer struts and shocks it came with.
You probably need to get the ECU reflashed for the larger tires. The VSC system is set up for stock sized tires, when you take a corner with larger tires, the wheel speeds relative to each other are different with larger tires and the ECU thinks you're out of control. Get the reflash and that should solve your problem.
Thanks Man, I will try that.....is there a perfomance chip you would recomend instead of paying dealership 85 an hour.
There is a pdf file in the first post of this thread outlining the procedure
http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/sus...sc-answer.html |
The DIY way to reset the ECU is to disconnect the negative battery terminal overnight and reconnect in the morning. This will deenergize all the computers and they will have to relearn. It works for transmission shifting points, it may work with the ABS. Worth a shot, I did it to my truck after a lift, no issues.
ECU, VSC, ABS, ECT, TSB, damn acronymns, so confuzzing. |
I have that lift and had the same problem. You need to get the dealer to do a zero point calibration. And you will probably want to have the alignment perfect before doing this. Fixed the issue for me.

The Typography Toolbar Extension for LibreOffice
Off the Beat: Bruce Byfield's Blog
LibreOffice Writer is not actually a word processor -- it is more of an intermediate desktop publisher. Thanks to features such as page and list styles, you can design in Writer with much greater precision and ease than in Microsoft Office or Abiword. However, it lacks several features that would make it an advanced publisher, which is where the Typography Toolbar extension comes in.
As with other extensions, you can install the Typography Toolbar from Tools -> Extension Manager. The next time you re-start LibreOffice, the toolbar is listed in View -> Toolbars, currently lacking the penultimate "h" but all the same opening down the left side of the editing window. With 36 features, it forces you to scroll to see everything that's available, so you might want to drag it to the top or bottom of the window, or, better yet, undock it and resize the floating window so that it displays in two columns.
The Typography Toolbar is designed to work with Graphite-aware fonts. Graphite is a smart font technology -- that is, intended to make advanced typography features easier to use.
LibreOffice supports Graphite, but relatively few Graphite-enabled fonts are available. The three most widely-used are Gentium Plus; Linux Libertine G, a metrical replacement for Times Roman, and Biolinum G, a sans serif similar to Helvetica or Arial but with somewhat more tightly spaced characters.
All three of these fonts are also available in versions that are not Graphite-enable. A Gentium Basic is in widespread use, and both Linux Libertine and Biolinum have non-Graphite versions, which have the same name except for ending in an O. If you have any of these non-Graphite versions installed, you can delete them in favor of the Graphite-enabled versions; there is no advantage to keeping two versions, and telling the versions apart can be difficult in LibreOffice's narrow fields and drop-down lists.
Why you should use it
Besides punctiliousness, why should you care about Graphite features? Often, as with ligatures -- redesigned versions of letter combinations with awkward spacing, such as "ff" or "st" -- or an en dash, using the Typography Toolbar is simply quicker and more convenient than selecting Insert -> Special Character and scanning the rows and columns to find the character you want.
In other cases, the answer is consistency. LibreOffice is often at a loss about how to handle fonts with old style figures and small caps, in some cases using them by default, and in others listing them as separate weights of the font family. Not only is the inconsistency confusing, but, in the case of small caps, only they may available, but not the regular or Roman weight.
In still other cases, LibreOffice can cobble together an approximation of a proper character, such as a superscript, subscript or small cap, just as other word processors and publishers do. However, these makeshift substitutions rarely match the design of the font as well as the same characters that are part of the font design. Using the Typography Toolbar, you can use the features that are built-in to the metrics of the font, adding a small but definite improvement to the look of your document.
In addition, the Typography Toolbar also includes some features not found in LibreOffice. One such feature aligns the bottom of a page of text with footnotes by adjusting the vertical margins. Others reduce especially large spaces between words in fully justified text in favor extra spacing between words and can be applied as a finishing touch, or toggle a TeX mode for extra precision.
Applying features
The Typography Toolbar is set up for both manual and style-based formatting.
To manually apply a feature, highlight a section of text, then click the appropriate button on the toolbar. The highlighted text is only changed.
Alternatively (and more efficiently), you can make using the feature part of a character or paragraph style. The quickest way to do so is manually apply a feature, then select the update button while you are using the Default button. With a few minutes' work, you will have made all the changes you want.
However, if you prefer, you can enter the features you want directly into the Family field on the Font tab for styles, after the general name. For example, adjusting the Familyl field to read:
Linux Libertine G:smcp=1&onum=1
will set the current paragraph always to use small caps rather than regular capital letters, and old style figures. Notice that an ampersand (&) separates features, and that a "1" turns a feature on. If you want to disable a feature but not delete it altogether, all you would need is to change the 1 to zero. The Typography Toolbar's Help file gives a list of feature codes, as well as an example of the changes adding each feature results in.
Closing the last mile
Some users will find LibreOffice's built-in features are all they need. And fair enough -- the end of days will not descend on us if a two page memo that is recycled two minutes after it is read is not formatted to the highest standards.
However, for more permanent documents, or for those who want their work to be as polished as possible, the Typography Toolbar offers the finishing touches that LibreOffice lacks as installed. For such users, the extension fills a major gap in functionality.

BOSTON - Massachusetts State Police say high school students and their adult chaperones were on a charter bus after a visit to Harvard University when the oversized bus crashed into a bridge in Boston.
The bus crashed about 7:30 p.m. Saturday as it was passing under a bridge on Soldier's Field Road, a major crosstown road. The group was returning to the Philadelphia area.
The injured, three seriously, were taken to hospitals. The group was on the way back to Pennsylvania.
Authorities say the bus did not belong on that road and state police are investigating whether charges are warranted against the driver after apparently failing to see the sign prohibiting the vehicle from taking that route. The bus company had no immediate comment.

Chimney Cap & Crown
Chimneys. Every time my kids watch Mary Poppins, I think of chimneys. Imagine how many millions of chimneys there are in the USA: millions and millions. Heck, I've got two on my own house and I've seen houses with as many as four and five. Each chimney must be properly crowned with a gap between the flue liner and caulked with a cement stable sealant. You can also protect your chimney by installing a chimney cap to reduce weather damage.

Round (music)
This article needs additional citations for verification. (September 2014) |
A round is a musical composition, a limited type of canon in which a minimum of three voices sing exactly the same melody at the unison (and may continue repeating it indefinitely), but with each voice beginning at different times so that different parts of the melody coincide in the different voices, but nevertheless fit harmoniously together (Johnson 2001). It is one of the easiest forms of part singing, as only one line of melody need be learned by all parts, and is part of a popular musical tradition. They were particularly favoured in glee clubs, which combined amateur singing with regular drinking (The Aldrich Book of Catches (1989) introductory essay, pp 8–22, especially at p 21: "Catch-singing is unthinkable without a supply of liquor to hand...").
"Row, Row, Row Your Boat" is a well known children's round for 4 voices. Other examples are "London's Burning" and "Three Blind Mice". However, not all rounds are nursery rhymes. Serious composers who turned their hand to the round format include Thomas Arne, John Blow, William Byrd, Henry Purcell, and Louis Hardin.
A catch is a round in which a phrase that is not apparent in a single line of lyrics emerges when the lyrics are split between the different voices.
The term "round" first appears in the early 16th century, though the form was found much earlier. In medieval England, they were called rota or rondellus. Later, an alternative term was "roundel" (e.g., David Melvill's manuscript Ane Buik off Roundells, Aberdeen, 1612). Special types of rounds are the "catch" (a comic English form found from about 1580 to 1800), and a specialized use of the word "canon", in 17th- and 18th-century England designating rounds with religious texts (Johnson 2001). The oldest surviving round in English is "Sumer Is Icumen In"[citation needed] Play (help·info), which is for 4 voices, plus 2 bass voices singing a ground (that is, a never-changing repeating part), also in canon. The first published rounds in English were printed by Thomas Ravenscroft in 1609... "Three Blind Mice" Play (help·info) appears in this collection, although in a somewhat different form from today's children's round:
- Three Blinde Mice,
- three Blinde Mice,
- Dame Iulian,
- Dame Iulian,
- The Miller and his merry olde Wife,
- shee scrapte her tripe licke thou the knife.
Many of the rounds printed by Ravenscroft also appear in a 1580 manuscript (KC 1), and several are mentioned in Shakespeare's plays, so these little ditties seem to have been quite popular.
What makes a round work is that after the work is divided into equal-sized blocks of a few measures each, corresponding notes in each block either are the same, or are different notes in the same chord. This is easiest with one chord, as in "Row, Row, Row Your Boat" Play (help·info):
A new part can join the singing by starting at the beginning whenever another part reaches any asterisk in the above music. If one ignores the sixteenth notes that pass between the main chords, every single note is in the tonic triad—in this case, a C, E, or G.
Many rounds involve more than one chord, as in Frère Jacques Play (help·info):
The texture is simpler, but it uses a few more notes; this can perhaps be more easily seen if all four parts are run together into the same two measures:
The second beat of each measure does not sketch out a tonic triad, it outlines a dominant seventh chord (or "V7 chord").
Many different chord progressions are theoretically possible in a round, but it can be very challenging to keep each part sounding different and yet still melodic as they trace out the appropriate chords.

Regus has come and gone. Crest will still be 1-14. Folrart will still 1-Infinity with a recommended entry level of 15. Regus may return at a later date in some shape or form but as for now, it's going to be the Crest (beginner) and Folrart (advanced) Arena with the Training Arena and the Single Player option.
"Goodbye Regus Arena Though I never knew you at all You had the grace to uphold yourself While those around you crawled
They crawled out of the woodwork And they whispered into your brain They set you on a treadmill And they made you change your name
And it seems to me, you lived your life Like a candle in the wind Never knowing who to cling to When the rain set in And I would have liked to have known you But I was just a kid Your candle burned out long before Your legend ever did"
Thanks to Elton John for the Regus tribute song.
If you like the Pumpkin Head (listed under HAIR) or the Pumpkin Cat, today is the last day they'll be available.
Yes yes, many of you may have experienced buckets of H20 (that's water to you non-science types) pouring down from the sky on Halloween. Surprisingly, it didn't stop many folks from parading around in their elaborate costumes. Not alot of things will apparently. We invite all of you fellow Iczers to head to the forum and post your awesome costumes and snapped pictures.
Also in news, rankings happened. Apparently nothing stops the Iczers from dueling. Eh? See how I tied that together this week? We're crafty like mac and cheese (because KRAFT makes the deliciou... oh forget it).
As always, anyone who fought in the arena at least once this week will receive 10 gran. Listed below are your top 5 ranked Iczers, top 3 guilds, guilds that have become official, and guilds that have leveled.
Special note goes to the Order of the Black Knights for being the SECOND guild to reach level 5. Congrats.
Haven't written in ages so here we go...
Play once for at least of 5 of the next 7 days and you will be rewarded. Everyone who qualifies gets 1 copy of Exploding Spores. 4 random winners will get a Rarity 3 of their choice. Remember what Guy Fawkes said...
"Remember, remember, the fifth of November, gunpowder treason and plot. I see no reason why the gunpowder treason should ever be forgot. Guy Fawkes, Guy Fawkes, 'twas his intent to blow up the King and the Parliament. Three score barrels of powder below, Poor old England to overthrow: By God's providence he was catch'd With a dark lantern and burning match. Holloa boys, holloa boys, make the bells ring. Holloa boys, holloa boys, God save the King! Hip hip hoorah! A penny loaf to feed the Pope. A farthing o' cheese to choke him. A pint of beer to rinse it down. A faggot (ED. NOTE bundle) of sticks to burn him. Burn him in a tub of tar. Burn him like a blazing star. Burn his body from his head. Then we'll say ol' Pope is dead. Hip hip hoorah! Hip hip hoorah!"
Beginning of the End for Beginner's Packs!
This Friday, Nov 6, the Beginner's Packs will be coming down. Then begins the crunching of data and analysis, etc. We'll see how it was received, how it effected the game from top to bottom, and what our next step is.The Beginner's Pack may not return in its present form, so if your interested, please consider buying one before Friday!
Plus, the Beginner's Packs were my idea, so it'll make me look good. Which would be awesome.
You might think that restricting yourself to only using cards with an AGI of 3 (and grimoires) would limit a file. It turns out, though, that AGI 3, perhaps because it's the middle of the road for agility, includes no small number of the best cards in the game. Read on to see how our players picked up on this and capitalized as they crafted their contest entries.
