'Salty' enjoys baseball night in Portsmouth
Saturday, January 26, 2013
PORTSMOUTH — Jarrod Saltalamacchia was dead serious when he talked about what attending the city's inaugural baseball dinner meant to him, as well as those in attendance who love the game of baseball.
But the 27-year-old Florida native was relaxed and engaging Friday as he chatted with fans — young and old — posed for pictures and signed autographs on anything that would absorb a marker.
"So I'm excited to work with that and I'm excited with all the new players we have on the team, hitters like (Mike) Napoli and (Shane) Victorino. I'm just excited to get going."
The program also recognized people like longtime city baseball supporter Chris Anderson Sr.; and Munsey, who counts Fuld and Saltalamacchia among his 20 or so baseball clients.

|Gender and Health Workshop, and consultation, 23 -31 October 2012
The workshops and consultation were conducted concurrently during the period 23 – 31 October 2012 at the Ocean View Hotel.
• To raise awareness on gender, gender-based violence and cultural diversity in health.
• To build skills in, and practice using, gender and health tools within the context of the draft National Health Sector Strategy 2013-2020.
Ms. Shelly Abdool, Regional Advisor on Gender, PAHO/WHO, Panama, Dr, Florence Levy, Regional Advisor on Cultural Diversity, PAHO/WHO, Panama and Professor Monica Swahn, Emory University/Georgia State University, facilitated the workshops and consultation. The total number of participants from UN agencies, government agencies and civil society were one hundred and thirty-one.
Dr. Barnett, PAHO/WHO Representative, in one of her opening remarks mentioned that gender matters in health – gender equality is a critical health and development goal. It is Millennium Development Goal 3, and it is prominent in current discussions on the post-2015 global development agenda. Achieving greater equality between women and men will require changes at many levels, including changes in attitudes and relationships, changes in institutions and legal frameworks, changes in attitudes in economic institutions and changes in political decision-making structures.
Dr. Shamdeo Persaud, the Chief Medical Officer mentioned that the purpose of the Health Sector Strategy -'Health Vision 2020' is to ensure that "we have high quality of service that is provided to all Guyanese without fair or favour regardless of gender, sexual orientation, religious or cultural beliefs or political affiliations."
The main outputs of the workshops were:
• Recommendations for elements to include a national response on gender-based health inequities (that include gender- based violence and cultural diversity) that will be synthesized for consideration in the development of the Health Vision 2020, Strategy on NCD and conversations on GBV (led by MHSS).
• Recommendations for strengthening data within the Health Vision 2020.

Brigitte Gagne, Le Petit Chef's director of microwave R&D, is deciding on the product development agenda for next year. She has to decide which of the available projects to fund, and evaluate the overall portfolio of projects currently under development. The recent poor performance of the firm prompts Gagne to think about reassessing the way projects are generated, evaluated, and selected at Le Petit Chef. However, Gagne has a pressing deadline to meet--the executive team is due to review the next year's agenda at a meeting in Paris tomorrow.
learning objective:
To examines the issue of project planning, product line planning, and aggregate resource planning in an R&D department. Allows students to explore the link between competitive performance of the firm and product line choices. Generates insights on the typical problems firms encounter in their product planning activities: too many projects overall, too many derivative projects (versus platform projects), overcommitted resources, inappropriate skill mix in R&D, little top-down input to project generation (the focus being on bottom-up suggestions), and dealing with potentially radical (disruptive) technological trends.

Amateurs and professionals alike will enjoy these Princeton brushes.
Unlike most nylon hair brushes, the hairs on this brush are interlocked. This feature produces an especially sharp point that retains its shape after repeated use. Stroke and wash brushes have a crisp, defined edge. The interlocked hairs work like a reservoir to hold an abundance of water and color.
These brushes are constructed with lacquered wood handles attached to seamless nickel plated brass ferrules.
Note — Brush sizes are not standardized. The length and width of a brush of a given shape and size varies considerably by manufacturer. Since fine art brushes are hand crafted, expect some variation even among brushes from a given manufacturer.

Then there is the general lack of configuration tools for programmable game controllers.
I'm sure Valve (and/or future console manufacturers) will work with the necessary upstreams (X, kernel, etc.) to get better drivers and configuration tools if they need them...
Extremely exciting news! This will surely change the Linux Gaming (and Linux Desktop) landscape.
I mean, sure, there are actually more games on OS X now. Steam had a positive impact. OS X is still nowhere close to dethroning Windows as the PC gaming platform of choice, but OS X users have a lot more options to have fun these days than they used to. Linux will likewise see a positive impact from Steam, but it will continue to be missing large swaths of the best games available, just like OS X.
A Steam Machine (please let that be the actual name) would be another boost. Typically new consoles have flopped, independent of technical qualifications but we are seeing a recent strong shift away from the traditional console market, so there may well be a huge opening for something like the Valve console (or Ouja). It's all going to come down to the actual game catalog on the device. If you can't get Activision and EA and Ubisoft and so on 100% on board with a Steam console (including Linux ports), it is not going to do well. Valve will need to give those companies incentives, which even on the PC space they're having a huge problem doing right now (notice how many of the most popular PC games are not available on Steam these days, including many that have console ports).
Unfortunately, a large part of that is going to be how tightly they can lock down the machine for DRM reasons. Game publishers put up with ridiculous rates of piracy on the PC because they don't have much choice (DRM on a PC just doesn't work to stop anyone but very casual pirates). Any new platform, however, is just a new risk to them; if they can't get things locked down, they have no reason to spend money to port to a platform just to see 90%+ of their efforts stolen. Especially when they can keep making lots of money with the new Wii U, the next XBox, and whatever Sony is up to and get much lower piracy rates (it requires more effort to even use pirated games on those platforms, effectively barring the large masses of casual pirates).
And since Valve's console's success will be tired _entirely_ to the game catalog on it, getting those publishers on board is the #1 most important thing for them to do as a for-profit corporate entity launching a new for-profit gamer-oriented consumer electronics device. They are going to lock down their console as much as is required to satisfy those publishers, or they are going to fail miserably. Maybe they can convince those publishers that they don't need to lock down the console much, and that's great. Quite possibly they will not be able to do that, and the new Valve console will only be good for a handful of titles compared to its competition.
That doesn't even include exclusive titles to the other platforms, such as Nintendo's beloved catalog, Microsoft's impressive catalog of titles from MGS and subsidiaries, or Sony's critically-acclaimed first-party titles. PC does have exclusives, but most of those _aren't on Steam_ (even most of Valve's own titles have XBox ports), or are smaller indie games that will hardly push sales of a new hardware platform (and if they do, Valve will be competing with Ouja, not traditional proprietary consoles).
tl;dr version: Valve has to suck publishers' $%#@ for a new console to succeed, as success in the consumer device market will have nothing to do with openness, Linux, or Valve being Valve.
Take the Linux xbox driver, for example. The last time I looked at it, the driver doesn't support audio/headsets at all. It doesn't support battery lifetime notification at all. It has no notion of which controller is 1st player, 2nd player, etc.*, so each individual app has to redefine which is which. The driver does support the LEDs on the device, but it doesn't enforce any player-oriented friendly use of those lights, but rather just lets apps do whatever random confusing inconsistent useless crap it wants to with them. Well, sort of, since the LED device and the input device are completely separate devices in the device tree, and actually correlating them together is non-trivial, requires deep Linux kernel knowledge and some voodoo, and isn't wrapped by any existing developer-oriented library.
Many of the other gamepads are just supported by the generic joystick driver and hence are also missing all the advanced features and proper system-integration necessary for a quality gamepad gaming experience, as supported by the consoles and Windows.
* Some people don't believe me about this one because the Linux kernel driver will set the player-indicator lights on controllers when plugged in, so if you plug in two controllers, one is lit up as player 1 and the second as player 2. The problem is two-fold: first, there's no way to read the status of the lights nor does the Linux driver expose any property as to which number it assigned the controller, so apps have no way to know which controller is which. Second, Linux doesn't actually assign a player number, but rather fakes it with a cheap hack. The driver just does a "indicator_light = (global_controller_counter++) % 4" when a controller is plugged in. You can see this by unplugging a controller and plugging it back in (it'll go to the next player indicator, rather than remain the same number); more damning, plug in two controllers, then unplug and replug just one of them several times, and you'll quickly get both controllers to have the same player indicator lit up.
I'd like to see steam with some level of xbmc integration, all i'll need then is a wireless nostromo so i can sit on the lazy boy in front of my projector munching n00bs

the consolekit security problem related to the lack of the revoke() syscall is still there right.
Phoronix: Linux Desktop Security Could Be A Whole Lot Better
The security researcher that uncovered a host of X.Org security issues went beyond just evaluating the X.Org libraries and looked at other Linux desktop packages too. There's many security-related bugs outstanding within the Linux desktop ecosystem and Ilja van Sprundel believes "things could be better by several orders of magnitude."..
the consolekit security problem related to the lack of the revoke() syscall is still there right.
For the record, Policykit was also abandoned, it was forked into Polkit by the same developers. It was forked because they wanted to break and couldnt do it with PolicyKit, so they just made a new project and told everyone to migrate at their convenience.
so for all intents and purposes, modern distros don't have that problem i'm talking about? how was it fixed without having the revoke() call?
this is the video where the problem is described
The point we were trying to make was: Consolekit will NEVER get fixed in that regard, because its a dead project.
Use dietlibc?
And you're talking about "security"?
https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ub...er/028612.html :
And from the dietlibc source, /CAVEAT:Code:mksh (39.1-2) unstable; urgency=low * debian/rules: build mksh-small without floating point support also, because it's ⓐ huge and ⓑ buggy in dietlibc
Code:Beware! Much of this code is untested! Someday, we will have a test suite and everything will be just fine.
Yes, they say a bit about security, and there is some validity to complaints about glibc bloat and dynamic linking (I've seen a dietlibc proponent claim that the fact that libnss is dynamic allows manipulation of the environment to have uncontrollable effects, which is accurate if you know what LD_LIBRARY_PATH and LD_PRELOAD can do...), but...for reasons best expressed in the first two links and that last quote, use anything but dietlibc.
uClibc is reasonably tested, musl is reasonably clean and well-audited, klibc is fairly bug-free (and also feature-free, unfortunately), bionic and variants have a measure of support and testing thanks to Google, newlibc has testing and support from RedHat.
I should mention that one reason for musl being developed was to provide a lightweight and correct libc with a stable ABI; the ABI is the big downfall for most alternatives.
If you are interested in using uclibc for the desktop, and have some Linux experience, with check out Alpine Linux. It has at least XFCE.

Lighting it up: Depleted Dover pounds Timberlane
Saturday, January 26, 2013
DOVER — The Dover High School boys basketball team is beaten up and battered. But you wouldn't know it on Friday night.
Carroll and Josh Cote each scored 13 points for Dover, which was playing in just its third game in 17 days.
Dover jumped out to a 12-0 lead to start the game, and even though Timberlane closed the first quarter on an 8-2 run, the Green Wave never looked back. Dover led 14-8 after the first and 30-14 at halftime.
"Sometimes the other team isn't as good and they're not going to make wide-open shots," Romps said. "But we have to make sure that we're covering those shots. But like any team, on any given night, anything can happen."
The Green Wave thoroughly dominated the second half, scoring the first 15 points of the third quarter. Cote, Lupi and Sean Flanagan hit 3-pointers during the frame, and Dover led 53-21 going into the fourth quarter. In all, six different players hit a 3-pointer for Dover.
Pat Mahoney was the only Timberlane player to score in the third quarter, scoring all seven of his points during the frame. Lucas Manthorn also scored seven for the Owls. All 11 players who saw time for Timberlane scored.
"Dover plays the game the right way," first-year Timberlane coach Jeff Bauman said. "They played hard. I didn't think we came out with our best tonight. This was a little bit of a step backwards for us tonight. We let their pressure get to us. They beat us all over the boards and we struggled with the glass."
Timberlane (0-9) 8 6 7 17 — 38

My comments about books the past few weeks have generated interesting emails from readers, some of them out of state. Generally, they took sides in the ebooks vs. traditional books discussion. Younger readers favored the computerized books while older ones still prefer the printed format. One reader said she didn't want to give up paper books because she always embroidered book marks for Christmas and birthday gifts.

One might say the Barnetts have a thing for animals, both domestic and wild.
Upon entering Don and Jane Barnett's home, I am greeted with the warmth of Christmas. Among the sparkling ribbon and glittering mesh that mark the arrival of the holiday season is Smokey, a rescued cat, draped across the chaise lounge, while a sleekly coated pug, Mallory, nestles on a nearby rug.

Thanksgiving has come and gone and just about everyone I know enjoyed food, fun and fellowship, as dear Thelma Crotts would describe an occasion.
Fort those who don't know Mrs. Crotts, I'll explain. She was the principal at Angie Grant Elementary School for many years. My son Allen was one of her pets, and he naturally adored her.
I never heard her describe any social occasion without including the word "fellowship." It probably resulted from her many years as a preacher's wife. We church folks do a lot of "fellowshipping."

Even though my kids are teenagers, they still look forward to baking and decorating cookies for the Christmas season. It is a family tradition, one I hope they will pass down to their children. We are developing memories that will last a lifetime.

Almost every time you turn on the TV, you see news of some medicine being recalled or having caused physical distress.
However, there is good news — a no-cost, no-risk way to improve your health: It's called laughter.
Humor and laughter have been proven to activate the immune system, and it increases the killer cells that attack viral infected cells and some types of cancer and tumors. One report says laughter seems to tell the immune system to "turn it up a notch."

The other day I was shopping with my 2-year-old son, and as we often do, we ended up in the toy section. Dylan and I walked the aisles, and he picked up toy after toy. Each of which flashed a series of colorful lights and spoke, made sound effects or played music when you pushed a button.
He particularly enjoyed a rocket ship that counted down, lit up, and then made noises like it was blasting off.
Another favorite was a mechanical Mickey Mouse that played music as the figure hit his hands on a drum and danced.

So many times in life we tend to take the good things for granted. Our
family, children, friends, home…the list goes on and on. Certain
people become so much a part of us that we think they'll always be
there when we need them. We don't ever stop to think, "What would
happen if I lost all of this?"
We only think of what we had when it's gone…and then it's too late.
The truth is, we should never take anything for granted. Not a single
person and not a single day. Yes, everyone knows this. But sometimes,
we're reminded in ways we'd rather not be.
My wife saw two deer, one on each side of the road. Without knowing it, she solved one of the world's age-old mysteries.
It was one of those moments when a scene plays out, but later the full depth of the incident weaves its way into our brain and that single moment becomes something much different that it appeared to be on the surface.
For several years the Courier has included in its Thanksgiving edition comments from local residents telling what they are most thankful for in this season in which we emphasize our blessings.
This year the focus was on school children, who certainly shared some interesting thoughts. You expect them to say, "I'm thankful for my my mamma, my daddy, my dog, my cat, my grandma, my grandpa, my house ... "
On and on and so forth.
Kids can surprise you, though. One little boy's answer was a real zinger. He said he was thankful "for calendars."

'Alarming' rise seen in drug-addicted infants
"It really is an epidemic," said Edwards, section chief of neonatology at the Children's Hospital at Dartmouth-Hitchcock (CHaD) in Lebanon. "It's an astounding problem, and it needs to be recognized."
Edwards said NAS is growing steadily in New Hampshire, and the high cost of treating babies for drug addictions puts a toll on the state's medical system.
A national problem
In 2011-12, 5.9 percent of pregnant women ages 15 to 44 in the United States said they were using illicit drugs, slightly up from 4.4 percent in 2009-10, according to the report.
The rise in addicted mothers and babies coincides with rising incidents of prescription drug abuse and heroin use.
Babies who were exposed to drugs in utero can experience fever, diarrhea, seizures and problems sleeping, eating and gaining weight. The exact symptoms depend on the drug to which the baby was exposed.
Dr. Bonny Whalen, newborn nursery medical director at CHaD, who works with Edwards on NAS, has been doing prenatal visits with women at the River Mill Addiction Treatment Program in Lebanon. "We've talked about comfort measures for babies, such as rooming-in, skin-to-skin, gentle rocking/swaying, swaddling and providing calm environments."
"With morphine, babies are weaned off in the hospital, and then they can go home not requiring additional medication," said Edwards.
In a normal birth, mother and baby typically head home after a few days.
In addition to the health consequences, another issue associated with NAS is the often expensive medical bills racked up during a baby's withdrawal treatment.
Most of the hospital bills pertaining to these babies are paid by Medicaid.
From 2008 to 2009, New Hampshire charged Medicaid $2 million to care for babies addicted to drugs.
New Hampshire is taking steps to address NAS. A governor's task force called the Prenatal Substance Exposure Task Force was created in August to examine issues related to it. Edwards serves on the task force, which will submit a report to Gov. Maggie Hassan.
Edwards said he didn't think New Hampshire officials would look to establish criminal penalties, opting instead to focus on the baby's health.
"Over half of the women start off by taking drugs that are prescribed for legitimate medical issues yet continue to take it beyond needing it," said Edwards.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) sent warning letters to manufacturers and distributors of dietary supplements containing 1,3-dimethylamylamine (DMAA) due to lack of safety evidence provided before marketing. The FDA states that information about the safety of DMAA as a dietary supplement ingredient has not been identified. For more information, see the FDA News Release and HPRC's latest on Dietary Supplement Products Containing DMAA.
Many adverse events associated with dietary supplement use go unreported. HPRC has developed one page information resources on how to report adverse events. Warfighters and their families can follow the directions for reporting adverse events to MedWatch (FDA) and Natural Medicines Watch. In addition to these sites, Health care providers can follow step by step directions for reporting via AHLTA.
Recently there has been a multistate outbreak of listeriosis from cantaloupes. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has an informative report about listeriosis, including symptoms, food contamination, and how to take steps to avoid this serious infection.
Apple juice containing arsenic has been a topic in the news recently. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has put together questions and answers to assist the public in sorting through the information. The FDA's conclusion is that apple juice is safe to drink. More information is available in FDA: Apple Juice Safe To Drink.
According to an Associated Press article from August 2, 2011, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has warned the manufacturer of the melatonin-laced brownies known as "Lazy Cakes" that the government considers them unsafe and could seize them from store shelves. The brownies were originally sold under the name Lazy Cakes, but the manufacturer of the product has changed the product name to Lazy Larry.
The FDA said that melatonin has not been found to be safe for use in conventional foods. "On the contrary, reports in the scientific literature have raised safety concerns about the use of melatonin," said the letter, sent last Thursday by the agency's acting director for the Office of Compliance. Melatonin is not approved for use in any food, the FDA said.
HBB, LCC, the Memphis-based company that makes Lazy Cakes/Lazy Larry, was given 15 days to respond to the FDA with details on specific steps it would take to correct its violation of the ban against melatonin use in food.
It should be noted that the HPRC has been covering Lazy Cakes since they first became available.
Agromod Produce, Inc., is recalling all papayas distributed nationwide and to Canada due to potential contamination with Salmonella Agona. For more information, read the Food and Drug Administration Press Release.
Cytosport, Inc. was cited for having false or misleading label and website claims in violation of several points of federal law for several products, including "Chocolate Muscle Milk Protein Nutrition Shake," "Vanilla Crème Muscle Milk Light Nutritional Shake," and "Chocolate Peanut Caramel Muscle Milk." The company is in violation of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act and is required to take specific actions to correct the violations. More information is provided in the FDA Warning Letter.
New York dietary supplement manufacturer Howard Sousa, of Artery Health Institute LLC and DeSousa LLC, has agreed to remove drug claims on his company's website. Sousa's Advanced EDTA Oral Chelation capsules were promoted on the website as drugs since the marketing language made disease treatment claims. More information is provided in the FDA News Release.
Virtue Calves was cited for selling veal calves that contain illegal drug residues, which is in violation of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. The company is now required to keep careful records of which animals have been medicated so that illegal drug residues do not enter the food supply. More information is provided in the FDA News Release.
Warfighters are deployed to all kinds of environments, including hot and dry conditions where sun exposure is a concern. Choosing a "broad-spectrum" product that protects against sunburn, skin cancer, and premature skin aging is important, but product labeling can be confusing. Now, however, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is taking steps to regulate the labeling of sunscreen products in order to help consumers choose a product that will protect them from sun damage to the skin.
The new measures include a regulation, effective one year from now, that requires sunscreens to undergo a standard test if they want to be labeled as a "broad spectrum" product. Those that pass the test will be allowed to use "broad spectrum" on their packaging, which indicates a product that provides protection against both ultraviolet B radiation (UVB) and ultraviolet A radiation (UVA). UVB rays are primarily responsible for sunburn, but both UVA and UVB rays are harmful and can cause sunburn, skin cancer, and premature skin aging.
Other provisions in the FDA regulation include:
- A warning about the risk of skin cancer and early skin aging on the labels of sunscreen products that are not broad spectrum.
- The amount of time the consumer can expect protection from a product with water resistance claims must be stated on the front label. The FDA, based on standard testing, will allow either a 40-minute or 80-minute timeframe on labels.
- Products will no longer be allowed make a claim of "waterproof" or "sweatproof" or use the term "sunblock," nor can they make the claim of immediate or instant protection or protection for more than two hours without reapplication.
Additional measures regarding the labeling of sunscreen products have been proposed. To learn more, view the FDA's full article.

I've always wondered that about Morgan too, are they ever going to bring him back? It already seems late (probably a lot of viewers wouldn't even remember who he was) and the longer they take the more likely it'll be that that actor has a contractual obligation to another show or somethingI read somewhere that he's going to be back soon.

This thread is going to be epic.
A high IQ man do have a 50% higher probability to be a THC, Cocaine ,LSD, Amphetamine and MDMA consumer.
And a high IQ woman do have a much higher probability than the mans to be a drug consumer.
be smart consume drugs
now we know Silkroad drug shop is very important for smart humans.
This thread is going to be epic.
some people here in the forum blame me because of my LSD-test thread.
they blame me because I'm probably Intelligent!
Blaming because of drugs is really the stupidest way to insult a human.
its not a insult its a compliment ...
like "O nice you are so smart"

Without reading the article, perhaps it's due to the other correlation that smart people are unhappier -> need more external happiness.

Q., you played too much Fallout.
But the reality shows different than your "fictional drug mentats"
Addiction is impossible!
A drain of Intelligence is Impossible!
Studies show 15 IQ points grow if you consume LSD average in Intelligence tests.
also the study of this tropic show you already are a superior intelligence human if you are interested in consuming drugs.
Don't believe the anti-drug propaganda!
Have you ever tried NZT? It's amazing stuff!
real drugs are much better than that.
because the side effects are irrelevant.
Even having real sex do have a higher side effect by sexual disease and costs you a lot of money if you make a child.
In fact making a child is more expensive than using drugs.
because of this intelligence humans do have less children's than dump people.
An average guy will have >small fear< because he has consumed "drug".
LSD will multiply this.
This guy´s mind will be blown apart.
I have never used LSD, and I don´t think it is really necessary per se.
My policy is not to use anything until it is completely necessary.
Mentats are unrelated. You definately should play Fallout 1 (from DosBox), much better than shooting NPCs via quadcore opterons
I hope you don´t consume LSD at this, cause... this may end up really messy. Which I don´t want.

Bad Company & Lynyrd Skynyrd Team Up For Summer Tour
Wednesday, March 6, 2013
Bad Company and Lynyrd Skynyrd are teaming up for a string of 13 U.S. shows this summer. Both bands celebrate significant 40th anniversaries in 2013, with Skynyrd having released their debut album, Pronounced 'Leh-nerd Skin-nerd,' on August 13th, 1973 and Bad Company being formed that same year. The joint dates kick off on June 20th at Auburn, Washington's White River Amphitheatre and run through July 27th at Bethel, New York's Bethel Woods Center For The Arts. Since reuniting in 2001, Bad Company has only played 11 isolated performances, and has not staged a U.S. tour until now.
Lynyrd Skynyrd's Johnny Van Zant has been a longtime fan of Bad Company, explaining, "Every member of Skynyrd has been fans of Bad Company from the get go. Personally, Paul (Rodgers) is one of my favorite rock singers. We have a deep appreciation for Bad Company's music and look forward to being on the road with them and sharing the stage."
Paul Rodgers added: "The Skynyrds and I go back to the '70s and the days and nights at the Hyatt House on Sunset in L.A. a.k.a. 'The Riot House.' In the '90s the band introduced me to my wife Cynthia, and that's why I am so damned happy and healthy these years."
We asked Paul Rodgers, who has always focused on the future rather than delving into his past, how its felt being back on stage with Bad Company reclaiming their legacy over the past few years: "It is kind of going back in some way -- and I was reluctant to do it initially. We did the show at the Hard Rock. It was kind of cool to be playing back again -- we found the old spark, and I think that's what was exciting about doing the DVD. I think there is a certain chemistry. And I know that's a well-used word, but there is with certain bands. And when you come back together, when we did anyway, it was very exciting and the crowd reaction was incredible."
Guitarist Gary Rossington -- the sole surviving member of the original Lynyrd Skynyrd band -- admits that the band's only ambition was to make it to the big time: "Our dream was, all our lives -- in the start of it, after we saw the Beatles on Ed Sullivan, y'know? -- was to make it big and try and die trying. If we never made it, we'd just still be playing clubs, y'know, trying to make it big. I guess we did it."
Lynyrd Skynyrd will next perform on March 13th at Chicago's Congress Theater.

I'm aware there is immense slowing whenever data synchronization is required (let alone any mutex locks).
I was thinking getting it to the extreme and doing threads for any subsystem conceivable. But I was worried that may even slow it. e.g. would it be sane to separate input thread from rendering or game logic thread? Would the data synchronization required make it pointless or even slower?

Dinner, anyone?
Saturday, February 9, 2013
Wisdom of the ages found in the words of NYC's Ed Koch
Now, years after his words were recorded, we find that Koch's comment ever relevant. It is not enough to sit next to each other. What is important is sitting down with each other in an atmosphere of cooperation and, yes, dare we say "friendship," as with Koch and the Cardinal or President Reagan and then Speaker Tip O'Neill.
So, to New Hampshire Speaker Teri Norelli and U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi we ask: Isn't it time to send out a few dinner invitations instead of rearranging the seats on the floor of your respective Houses?

Then. Now. Always.
It wasn't only the theme of this year's convention; it's how we view the viability of the NWTF.
We have a strong past, which has proven our organization has what it takes to facilitate success, as evident in the comeback of the wild turkey.
We have a promising future with the Save the Habitat. Save the Hunt initiative.
And now is the time to make sure both have a place in history.
It's what we do now as an organization that pays tribute to the path paved by those before us. Now is when we lay the bricks for the road ahead of us.
Those bricks aren't made with good intentions. There's got to be money in the mix. Money to fund our mission today and tomorrow.
That's why the Grand National Auction is so important. Just like the thousands of auctions, raffles and fundraisers NWTF volunteers hold throughout the country each year, the Grand National — "the big daddy of 'em all" — helps foot the bill to carry out our mission and programs. It puts money where are hearts are.
Hunts, a Chevy truck, a triple-barrel shotgun and even an entertainment center from Elvis Presley's bedroom were up for bid. And the backdrop for the evening was celebrating 40 rockin' years of the NWTF, complete with celebrity impersonators walking around the room.
For me, the highlight was having my photo taken with "Gene Simmons" of KISS, then using "Madonna" to help sell raffle tickets for a Kentucky elk hunt. Tell me that's not funny…
When is the best time to tell a veteran thank you for his or her service? Now … and anytime you see one.
Their sacrifices helped pave the path that allows us to enjoy hunting, because we live in a country protected by the finest military in the world.
We began the Winchester Veteran's Breakfast with a photo diary/video of the Outdoor Legends Tours, where members of the hunting community traveled overseas to personally thank active duty military. Many of you may have read accounts from the tour's frontlines from NWTF CEO George Thornton and NWTF Spokesperson Brenda Valentine on this blog. If you missed it, click on their names for a link to each of their adventures and get caught up. Both offer glimpses into the everyday life of our servicemen and women.
It's a given that I cry during this breakfast every year. And I shed a few tears listening to NWTF District Field Supervisor Dave Mahlke talk about his son's enlistment in the Army, how he was injured in the line of duty and made an incredible recovery, as well as how hunting and family played a role in it.
As parent, I can't fathom watching my son go through so much pain. Dang it, I'm crying just thinking about it. God bless the Mahlke family and all military families.
And if I wasn't already a hot mess, the super-duper talented brass player Mic Gillette played the haunting notes of "Taps," as we remembered the fallen, including Gen. Norman Schwarzkopf.
The annual breakfast is always so moving to me, not by just watching what's happening on stage, but thinking about the individual stories of the folks in the crowd.
I looked up from my production book to see a fella, probably not five years younger than me, walk with a slight limp to receive his commemorative veterans pin (an annual tradition at the breakfast). What was going through his head at that moment? Pride? Heartache? Both?
I can't begin to understand. All I can do is offer my sincere gratitude and respect.
Thank you to Winchester and the NWTF for giving me a venue to do just that.

11. Remain and Defend
When I woke up, sunlight was filtering through the closed drapes and Fíriel was kneeling by the hearth, prodding at the embers with a poker. I blinked and watched her for a few moments, until she turned and saw me.
"Good morning," she said.
I cleared my throat and rubbed my eyes and tried to sit; my head was throbbing.
"What are you doing here?"
"Making you tea."
I pinched the bridge of my nose. There was a bad taste in my mouth. She rose slowly, and I saw that there was a kettle in the grate. I felt her weight beside mine as she sat down on the bed, and then I felt her palm against my forehead. Her hand was warm from the heat of the fire, and she smelled of wood smoke and mint leaves.
"How are you?"
I shrugged. She took her hand away and drew back, considering me at arms' length and looking me up and down with the same mild-eyed, appraising glance that we gave to all of our patients. There were bruises on my forearms.
"I've brought you some clean clothes and some breakfast."
"Where did Valacar go?"
"He is speaking with Laeron, I believe."
My lips were dry, and when I licked them they tasted of blood. "What did he say to you?"
Fíriel looked at me for a moment. Then she sighed, and began, "He was worried for you. And he said that you would be angry with him. But he did not want you left alone."
I stared down at the mattress. "He was dismissed, you know."
"I know that, dear." She reached towards me again, and at first I moved away from her hand, but then I let her push a few strands of hair off of my face. I took a deep breath and shuddered.
"How long have you been here?"
"An hour. Perhaps a bit longer." She slid off of the mattress to minister to the hearth once more. I thought of her sitting here in Valacar's rooms, watching me sleep. It was a well-known fact that Fíriel was the best watch-keeper in the entirety of the Houses. She could sit with slumbering patients for hours on end, watching and listening for changes in their breathing or in the way they stirred or did not stir. She seemed to hardly ever fidget, or even shift in her seat a great deal. "How do you do that?" I had asked her when I was much younger.
"I just think," she replied.
"What of?"
"What kinds of things?"
"Of very difficult chores that are perfect for little girls to do," she had smiled at me, and I had left it at that, even though I was sure that she could not think of this all the time.
Now she was taking out the kettle and pouring a cup of tea. She got up and placed it on the night-table, pushing it towards me. "Let that cool for a bit."
It smelled much like mint leaves, but the odor had a sharper, stronger edge to it. "What is it?" I asked, though already I had some idea.
"Pennyroyal. I'll make you some tomorrow, as well." I stared down again and did not say anything. "It's all right," she said, and covered my hand with hers.
"I told him not to say anything."
"I know." She put the kettle back into the hearth. I was touching my stitches again, my fingers at my collarbone. I watched Fíriel, sitting patiently on her heels between the fire and the bedside. She looked natural, almost as if she was supposed to be here. Besides the patience, this was another thing about her—she never looked in the way or out of place. Probably she could even be sitting in the Citadel courtyard or down in the armories in her plain blue dress, and still find some way to hold herself so that no one would think of the strangeness of it. I watched her, and some part of me knew that I could not truthfully say I wished that she had not come.
"Have you said anything to anyone?"
"Of course not," she said. I took the cup from the night-table. The tea was still hot, but I took a sip. It was strong, and the taste was so sharp that it seemed to have a separate burn to it. "When you finish that, I'll give you some chamomile." I nodded and took a longer drink, and she was still watching me. "You can ask me anything you like," she said. "About anything at all."
I swallowed, staring down again. "No," I said. I put the cup back on the night-table. "I know what happens. I know how girls like me end up."
And then she was kneeling beside the bed once more, and her fingers were under my chin.
"Look at me," she said. "Nothing is going to happen to you. Do you understand?"
When I did not say anything, she got up and sat beside me at the edge of the bed. She slid her arms around me and pulled me in close to her. "You'll be all right, dear," she murmured into my hair, and then she placed a kiss on my forehead. "Not now, perhaps, but soon." She was warm and she smelled like chamomile.
She let go of me after I had stopped crying. "There, now," she said. "We'll have a look at you, and then you can get changed and have something to eat." She had a cloth in her hand and she was dabbing at my face. "And be sure to finish your tea."
* * *
"I suppose he's read all of these." Fíriel was standing, facing Valacar's bookshelf with her arms crossed. "I've heard that many men keep a great deal of books so as to seem learned, but never actually read any of them. But he would make a point of having read all of his, wouldn't he?"
I said nothing and she turned around and looked at me. "I'm sorry. I was only talking to myself, I suppose." She glanced at my nearly-intact portion of breakfast. "Try to eat a little more."
I had not had anything to eat since last evening's meal. Still, even the good, plain kitchen-food that Fíriel had brought for me seemed about as appetizing as the pile of bloodied towels that Laeron and I had taken to the laundry. I felt hollowed out and not hungry in the least.
Then I remembered something, and I stiffened in panic.
"Fíriel, I was supposed to do a shift this morning."
"Tuilin is taking it for you."
"I took one of her shifts two months ago—she's owed me a favor for quite some time, now," Fíriel said, adding, "I only told her that you were not feeling well."
"She gets distracted too easily," I murmured. "She forgets things."
"She'll be all right. Just for this one morning."
I was silent for several moments, and then I said, "I suppose it doesn't matter, anyway. People will find out sooner or later, won't they? Everything's so close here."
When I looked back up at Fíriel, she had an odd expression on her face. "I doubt that anyone will talk about that, dear," she said. At first I thought that she was only trying to soothe me, but then she went on. "You see…" she began, and she walked away from the bookshelf to sit down beside me. "We heard just this morning. The Captains have finished their council."
She pushed a piece of bread closer to me, and then she rested her hand on my shoulder. "They are all making ready to move out. The armies are marching for the Black Gate in two days."
* * *
I went back to the wards; there was nothing else that I could have done. Everything looked different to me. Everyone was speaking of the march to the Gate.
No few people asked me if I were ill, but Fíriel had been right; I needn't have worried about any idle talk, not with all the other things that people now had to discuss. I made sure to keep my sleeves down about my wrists so that the bruises would not show.
I could scarcely do my work. I was afraid of the men, and I was afraid to be alone. I felt as though everyone were looking at me.
I all but refused to look at Laeron when he accosted me in the corridor.
"Are you all right?" he asked me.
"Yes," I replied, but then I shook my head. "No." I was staring at the floor.
"What's wrong, then?" he murmured. I shook my head. I had my arms crossed in front of me and I was pressing them against my body.
"Something's happened?"
I only shook my head, once.
"Then what's wrong? You look—"
"How do I look?"
He opened his mouth as if to speak, then closed it again. "You look tired," he finally said. "Anxious."
"Why shouldn't I?" I demanded.
"I mean, you look like you want to run away," he said quickly. I could think of nothing to say to that, and we were both silent.
"I've been talking to some of the men," he finally said. "Most of them are arming to leave, our men and the Rohirrim alike, and a few will remain and defend. They reckon they will send some seven thousand—perhaps more, if there are that many."
I nodded, and there was a long pause before I said something.
"What was that?" Laeron asked me. It had been so quiet that it was almost a murmur.
"I said that it's a death sentence." I still was not looking at him.
"You mustn't say that. It isn't true. And even if it were, you still should not."
"It's only what I think. So it can't matter a great deal."
He was quiet for a moment, and then he said, "This isn't anything to do with Valacar, is it?"
"Because I want you to know that I never breathed a word to anyone."
"I know that." I lifted my head and looked him in the eye. "I have to go now, Laeron."
* * *
I did not see the soldier, although I was always certain that he was somewhere just beyond the edge of my sight. Nor, for that matter, did I see Beren. All of the able-bodied men were busy in the barracks, in the stables, and the armories, and there was no longer any time to walk in the gardens or make long visits to the friends who lingered in the wards.
I decided that I did not want to see Beren. At some moments I thought about all of our talks and I very much wanted to see him, but then I thought about the space between us that he would want to cross, and I thought that he might try to press his palm against mine or slide his arm around me again, and that I would not want that at all, and that he might want me to explain. I could see it all stretched out quickly before me, one thing after another, and it made my palms prickle with sweat. So I thought that in the end it would be easiest if I did not see him.
* * *
For those left in the Houses there was a sort of quiet awe about the plan, still punctuated by the dull rhythms of all the old chores.
"And if they fail?" I asked Fíriel. We had gone back to making bandages; our great supply had dwindled, after all that had happened.
"They won't," she said. She had been good to me, taking some of my work when she was able, fetching things for me so that I would not have to go for them myself.
"But what if they do?" I persisted.
Fíriel was quiet, and for a time there was only the sound of rending cloth. Then she said, "You know that it will do you no good to think on such things, dear. Not now."
"I can't help it." I knew I should not be short with her, of all people, but I went on anyway. It was like pressing my thumb into one of the bruises over my ribs just to see how much pain I could draw out of it before I had to stop. "Neither can you, I expect. No one can. It's only that everyone's afraid to speak of it."
"Speaking of the worst does not help a great many people."
I stared at my bandages, and then I asked, "Have you seen Valacar?"
"No, not lately." When we had left his rooms, Fíriel had let us out herself, locking the door behind us and pocketing the key.
"Oh." We were quiet again, until I made a noise and set down my knife.
"Did you cut yourself?"
I nodded, my finger in my mouth. "I've never done that before."
* * *
After my shift was over, I took a pile of mending and sat in a corner of the northeast gardens to work on it. "I'll take care of that," Fíriel had told me earlier, but I did not want her to have to do all of it, especially after I had been cross with her. It was very slow work, as I stopped and looked around every few moments. I was still aching and I wanted to go and lie down.
The rain clouds had rolled past to leave a clear day, which served all the more to set off the glowering shadow in the East. I could see a hint of it, hovering just above the line of the sixth circle walls. I thought it had grown bigger since last I had glimpsed it. Just like me, that I should choose the eastern gardens today, I thought. Perhaps it meant that I was still capable of a private jest.
Things were quiet except for the barest of breezes, and the occasional sound of a door opening or shutting in the background. I could hear Fíriel's voice coming from the other side of the hedgerow, perhaps chatting with a patient or with one of the other healers. It was good to know that someone else was nearby. And then with a start I recognized Valacar's voice, as well.
"…last thing she needed was to be alone with a man," Fíriel was saying, her voice still quiet. I hunched over my mending and gritted my teeth.
"And what should I have done, then?"
"You could have taken her back to the wards."
"I suppose I should have forced her?"
"You could have sent for me right away, then."
There was a pause, and then Valacar said, "You'll excuse me for not thinking with all possible lucidity at that moment. I did what I thought was best at the time."
Another pause, longer this time, and I could hear Fíriel say, more slowly, "You've always had that problem, haven't you?"
Valacar snorted, and then he said, "And what is that supposed to mean?"
"Perhaps we should all think about what will be best for the next day, or the next year, or the next twenty, Valacar." Her tone was soft.
"Are you reprimanding me again?"
"Of course I am."
"Well, you're too late."
"I'm going back to work, now."
"Of course you are."
"Take care. Really, this time."
"And you."
There was the noise of shoes crushing the grass, and it was quiet again. And then Valacar appeared on my side of the hedgerow.
"Oh," he said, looking as surprised at me as I was at him. "Hello."
I said nothing and stared down at the mending in my lap.
"I think I owe you an apology," he said softly, stepping closer to where I was sitting. "More than one, most likely."
I bit my lip and made the barest of shrugs. I did not want to look at him. He stood there until I could no longer bear it.
"I don't want to speak to you right now," I said, glancing up.
He nodded once and turned to go. A few seconds later I drew in a sharp breath, and he turned around again.
"I can't work," I said, and my voice was flat.
He nodded slowly.
"And what are you doing, then, now that…" I began. "Doing more reading, I suppose?"
"It's not been a very long time," he said.
"Do many people know?"
He shrugged and licked his lips before answering. "Not many, at the moment. Now that the Siege is over, there are a great many surgeons who haven't much to do. They are not all needed at the time, not all at the same instant."
I glanced down at my mending. The last several minutes' work was a horrid mess, the stitches large and uneven, as if an old woman with poor eyesight and shaking hands had put them in. I tried to pull out the thread, but my movement was too fast and it snapped. I swore, and threw the whole cloth down on the bench beside me.
"What are you looking at?" I demanded of Valacar, who was still standing there before me.
"Nothing." He reached down beside me and picked up the cloth slowly, as if I were a sparrow he was trying not to startle. He began to carefully remove the stitches with his fingers.
"Fíriel said you were talking to Laeron. What about?"
Valacar's hands stopped for a moment, then started again. "Several of the apprentices are considering leaving with the armies. There's been some sort of a call for field surgeons."
"But they're not field surgeons."
"And that is what I said, as well," he replied without looking at me. "Perhaps you could speak to them, if you had the chance. Speak to Laeron." He spent a moment picking at one of the smaller, more recalcitrant stitches. "Chances are good that he'll listen better to you than he did to me."
"How long of a battle do they think this will be? To think that they'll need men like that?"
"I don't know."
"They'd want to travel without too much weight, wouldn't they?"
"They might. But they might also take any man who offered himself up."
"He's your apprentice. If he won't listen to you, he'll not listen to anyone else."
"He's no longer my apprentice."
"Oh." I had pulled my knees up to my chest. "I saw him work," I added. "The other day. He's very good."
Valacar nodded. "He works hard. He's a clever lad."
There was a noise somewhere behind us, and I started.
"Are you all right?" he asked. I nodded. "People ought not slam the doors like that," he said.
I shook my head, catching my breath. My heart was racing and my palms were prickling with sweat. It took nothing to set me off like that, I had soon learned after returning to the wards.
"You've not seen him, have you?" Valacar asked quietly.
"Who? Laeron?" I said, though I knew very well who he was referring to.
"No, the—"
"No. And you'd do best not to press it any more."
"I'm sorry."
"You're not. And you should not have said anything," I added. "I told you not to say anything. To anyone."
"I know." He set the mending back on the bench beside me.
"I know you do."
"Do you understand why I did it?"
I closed my eyes, but then all I could see was the alley wall, so I opened them again.
"I'm sorry," he said.
"I'm going now."
He nodded, and his face was a blank. I picked up my mending, and then I got up and turned around and walked into the Houses without looking back.
* * *
"Begging your pardon, Miss."
The tall man who stopped me in the north ward was wearing the garb of an Ithilien ranger. He looked nervous, but healthy enough, and I wondered what he was doing here.
"Would you happen to know where Mistress Fíriel is?"
"No. But she should be somewhere around here."
He nodded. "Thank you kindly, Miss."
I watched him go and wondered what business he might have with her.
* * *
Lady Éowyn was slowly walking the floor of her room when I went to bring her meal to her. She looked paler than ever, and her hands were in fists.
"You'll send for your Warden," she said without preamble. "I wish to speak with him."
"Yes, my lady."
Before I left, she also said that these walls were like those of a prison, though at that point she seemed to be speaking more to herself than to me.
* * *
There were always wounded men who were stronger than you might suppose they would be. In the afternoon I crouched beside a sleeping man's bed to change the bandage on his arm, which had been amputated above the elbow. I was unraveling the bloody linen, and then without warning he jerked away from me, and the cloth was coming away from my hands, and there was blood everywhere, and he kept moving and making everything worse. He was making sharp, panicked noises and he would not be calm when I tried to put my fingers on his shoulder and say something soothing, and he was stronger than I was, and he was going to hurt himself.
This kind of thing had happened to me before, and I knew that I had to speak softly to him and perhaps call for someone else to come and help me quiet him. I knew that very well, but then I had one hand clenched at his wounded arm and another at his chest so that he cried out, and there was blood everywhere and I was saying Now stop that, just stop that in a voice that I could not recognize as I my own until someone pulled me away.
Then I was standing back from the bed, and Fíriel was there, calling for someone else. One of the other girls rushed over and took my place, putting her hand on the gasping man's forehead, easing him back down and quieting him and doing all the things that I had not done. Fíriel got up and put her hand on my shoulder and led me away.
"I'm sorry," I whispered. I felt lightheaded.
"Go and take a rest," she said.
"But I can—"
"Go and take a rest."
I nodded stupidly and turned and walked away.
"I'll have a word with you, please," someone said as I neared the end of the aisle. Lord Aradîr was standing at the edge of the ward section.
There was nothing I could do except nod. I had blood all over both hands and on the front of my smock, and the shaking was beginning to return.
"I would not have expected that of you," he said. I remembered his tone of voice from the moments in which he had knelt beside me and told me that the City was dying.
I shook my head and looked down.
"Not in the least. Not from you."
"No, sir," I mumbled.
"Look at me when I am speaking to you, please." There was no anger in his face, but his eyes were hard. "I understand that these are very trying times for everyone in this City, not least of all for the folk of these Houses. Nevertheless, you—we must all work at controlling ourselves, no matter what else troubles us these days. Do you understand?"
"I do, my lord."
"So I have your word that this sort of thing will not happen again?"
"It won't, my lord."
"Very well. We owe that to our men, at the very least, do we not?"
"Yes, my lord."
I was so dazed that I did not drop a curtsey until he had already turned and was walking away, pausing to say a few words or to nod at this or that wounded man in the north ward. There were red marks on the fabric when I brought my hands away from the sides of my skirts.
* * *
I was sitting by myself in one of the sleeping-rooms when Fíriel came in.
"Is he all right?" I asked a few moments after she had seated herself on one of the other pallets.
"He'll be fine."
I nodded but did not look at her.
"Should I apologize?"
"No. He'll not remember you. He was in a poor state."
"I would remember me. If I were him."
"You should put it out of your mind. It was probably my fault; I should not have left you by yourself."
I shrugged lamely. "Not your fault," I murmured. "A man came asking after you," I added. "A ranger."
Fíriel raised her eyebrows. "A ranger?"
"Tall, sort of. Dark. Though that's what most of them look like, I suppose."
"Well, that's interesting," she said. "Thank you for telling me. Do you want anything?" I shook my head. "When did you last eat?"
I shrugged again. "I'm not hungry."
"You need to eat. And you should rest."
"I don't know what to do. I've got nothing left if I can't work."
"Other people can take care of things for a while."
"What will I do?"
She looked at me for a long moment, and then she said, "You're going to lie down and go to sleep."
I wiped at my nose and my eyes with my sleeve. "Will you stay?"
"I can't. I'm sorry. You'll be all right here."
She left, and I curled up on my side and stared at the wall and did not fall asleep. I blinked, and now and again a shudder would coil and uncoil somewhere inside of me.
I had never understood the people who unreservedly disliked our City, the people who had come here from Lossarnach or Amroth, from the coasts or the fields or the mountains to complain that the walls and the noise chafed at them. I knew that they were simply not looking well enough; that there was always another hidden corridor to discover, always another way to slide in amongst the stones so that everything looked differently. But now I finally understood why those outsiders hated it so; there was simply no way out. It was all a maze that led nowhere but back into itself. I curled up more tightly against myself and ran through every passageway in my mind, until there was nowhere to go but out, out to where the shadows stained the sky. In a way, Lady Éowyn was right, I realized. The City could hold you and protect you, shield you so well that in the end you could not escape.

As for trucks, there really is no reason to not get Indys. Basically perfect trucks.
I never understood the whole "light = better" gimmick. I used to ride like 8.25-8.5 with Indys and big ass wheels because heavier boards just felt so much easier to control to me.

lets see some footy and photos from members on here.
Well there's less weight resistance however I would imagine it would be almost unnoticeable.
I usually just get whatever is cheap as far as decks and trucks. I always use swiss bearings and ricta wheels though.

It is available from Afreet Software. Source code is not available. Recent versions have added PSK31 operation and Si570 support to CW transmit modes. It can receive CW, SSB, and AM. Single- or limited Multi-band operation is available. This is a basic SDR program, without many of the bells & whistles of PowerSDR. See the website for more specifics. WB4JFI has used Rocky for over two years, it provides a very quick-and-easy way to test inexpensive SDR hardware, and can run (barely) on older 1GHz CPUs. ###PowerSDR (source avail) ###G8JCF ###M0KGK ###WinRad (source avail) ###SDRadio ###QS-1R SDRMAX ###Linrad While Linrad is primarily used with Linux, it can also run under Windows, #Linux-based SDR software ###Edson Periera's sdr-shell (source avail) Edson's sdr-shell is a program designed to wrap around the DttSP sdr-core in Linux. It is written in QT C++, information and source is avaible from: sdr-shell page. At this time, it is receive-only. There have been several modifications made to sdr-shell by various hams. It uses jack (alsa, oss, or freebob) to interface to soundcards. Edson has a nice diagram at his web page that shows how the various software/hardware pieces interconnect. ###John Melton's JAVA SDR-shell ###LinRad ###GNURadio ###Quisk (source available) The Quisk SDR software oackage was written by James Ahlstrom in C and Python. It is available from Ahlstrom web site. It works under Linux with ALSA soundcard support and a Softrock, or the RFSpace SDR-IQ receiver. Quisk does NOT ues the DttSP sdr-core for dsp functionality. James has also designed a digital up-converter exciter (using Ethernet connectivity), which this software supports.

By showing up to the Iron Man 3 premiere in a dress that is, well, it's both beautiful and hated. It's sort of like the Cadbury Crème Egg of dresses: not everyone's going to love it, but everyone is going to have an opinion.
The Antonio Berardi creation is an amalgam of solid fabric and sheer panels, so it doesn't look so much like an entirety of a dress, but rather like a dream she had right before she woke up still smelling, for some strange reason, the combination of sage and cardamom. From the back and the sides (as you can see below) Gwyneth's perfect Pilates-sculpted rear end is visible from all sorts of angles. It's like the high mistress of GOOP is saying, "Yes. I had two kids and my ass still looks this good. F**k you."
The problem is, I really want to hate the dress because, well, it's on Gwyneth and she's just showing off, but it is really freaking cool. At least she's trying something interesting on the red carpet that's way better than most bland stylists let their clients get away with. And this looks like a dress that every babe in a comic book would wear: it's strange, archetectual, conceptual, and shows off way too much flesh to make any woman comfortable, but will get every man looking at it drooling. So, congrats, Gwyneth, your hated beauty wins again.
