But if he says (i dont do it, send me patches) you have to accapt that. In a social group you dont get a leader status just because you send in more patches than somebody else, and then can order others to the work you want.
you could be pissed, if you would have send him your minor changes as a patch, and he would then not look over it in a reasonalbe time and would not accept it without giving the reason of it, but you did like you said not send him patches, because you thinked he should do the work, because he did other work. thats so wrong, so self-centered, you act like a alpha-male trying to dominate other peoples... developers are most of the time very self-centered, you cant force them at least without giving them much money in doing stuff you want.
if he invests maybe 1hour after work, and you have 10hours a day time, both is spend in kind of honorary apointment. you cant force him to work 1.5hours a day because you want something done. Make it yourself or live with how he manages it.
Like again just create your own branch and work there, if some gets integrated in master or main good if not also good, if your branches diff gets bigger and bigger over time, and the differences are important enough, talk about it and if nobody wants to integrate it, make a fork.
But dont insult anybody because of it. there are 2 different rules out there, there is the power of good code and many code... if you really have that, your fork will have success and the original thread will die.
But there is a second rule, there is the rule of social aspects, people that are respectful get respect back, people that dont, dont.
its ok for you to just defend yourself and make new insults but if they defend themself, you cant see why they do it?
I am pretty shure that they dont enjoy the hole conversations, if they would, they would not have banned you, because if they enjoy your behavier and how they can harm you, they would have kept you in their project.In any event, I am glad that you are having fun at my expense. Perhaps this is the purpose you've found for me in your project.
And its even stupid, because your work with X was the best somebody did for free, if it were sooo bad, somebody else would easily commited something better, in a opensource world there are other rules... and this big chunks of codes several people have to work on the same stuff on the same goals. thats not so easy like one lead developer in a company says we make it this way and all run in this direction.
It kind of works a bit on the kernel that way. but also only because many companies help out with manpower... in x never so many companies paid people to work on it.
So with the limited sources you had it was good work, and without you and others we would have the same the xserver this years but in a even worse state. maybe now like it was 5 years ago. or something like that. that would not help anybody.
To say you can do it better but dont did even write on patch to it, is really really a bad thing, and because you never looked at the code you cant even imagine how good his work was or not.
just because there were better results from multi-billion-dollar companies out there, doesnt mean that the work from the x-server guys was just bad work or something.
and it even negates or dont go into what they have done with wayland now... he and others did that too, so he can produce excelent pices of code, so he proved if not with the old xserver (what I never would say) but shure with wayland that he can code.

Eugh, this reminds me of the FFmpeg/libav situation.
I generally agree with blackiwid's points. Also, you said that you have trouble expressing yourself and that you are much better at expressing yourself through code. And then you ask Darxus to change something on the website. He replies that you did not express yourself too well and suggests that you should express yourself through code. And that makes you angry?..

18:26 < Darxus> soreau: As always, if you'll just tell me exactly what you want changed, I'm happy to change it. Copying and pasting plain text into an email and then editing it to what you would like would probably be great.
18:27 < soreau> I told you, get rid of the +s crap for weston-launch and add the runtime stuff for mplayer
18:27 < soreau> and put mpv on there too, 4 lines http://www.chaosreigns.com/wiki/Wayl...V_instructions
18:29 < Darxus> soreau: I can do the +s thing, and the mpv thing. The last time we discussed this I tried to get details on exactly you want changed about mplayer because I've never tried it and would rather not guess.
18:30 < soreau> I gave you the link http://lists.freedesktop.org/archive...ry/006968.html

18:31 < soreau> been telling you little things about the website for months, you just don't have an interest in maintaining it and I can't understand that
18:32 < soreau> every time you act like you can't read or you don't know what I'm talking about, or you want me to write a patch.. for a two second change on a website
18:32 < soreau> I mean wtf

18:33 < Darxus> 11:50 < Darxus> soreau: That is distinctly different from telling me what you would like the contents of http://wayland.freedesktop.org/extras.html to be. You could copy and paste the current text of the page into an email, edit it to what you want it to be, then email it to me. Do you just want me to add a note that mplayer needs to be run as "./mplayer -vo gl $filename"? I don't know the details of the problem, so I'm hesitant to modify the page based on my guesses.
18:33 < Darxus> And no answer.
18:33 < soreau> See now look!
18:33 < soreau> Instead of making the change you're trying to start shit
18:34 < soreau> JUST FIX IT ALREADY
18:34 < Darxus> I'm asking you the same yes or no question I asked you before. Why can't you just answer me? Because you'd rather continue to complain?
18:34 < soreau> Forget you man and forget your bullshit
18:34 < soreau> I don't have time to hold your hand while you kick scream and cry
18:37 < Darxus> soreau: You realize this kind of behavior is exactly why I have little motivation to cooperate with you, right? I honestly have no idea why you can't just answer the yes or no qestion. I'm not trying to "start shit". I'm trying to do exactly what you want me to do, I'd just like confirmation that my guess is correct first.

18:56 < jpetersen> Darxus, thanks for maintaining the website
18:59 < daniels> indeed
Also, lets not forget that soreau was not banned due to his lack of social grace alone. The final straw was his refusal to use an existing mechanism to retain protocol compatibility when making his needed protocol changes, insisting on doing it in a way that would break things, without providing a reason: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archive...ch/008162.html
I am sorry I want not to insult him or fuel his anger, or something, I just think he is a psychopath or at least he is in danger to become one.
Thats the opposite if you read in a job posting something like:
- result oriented
he is a principal he would rather kill his mother than answer her a question that he would think is not important.
And if you want to lead, at least lead, its like I am the boss because I am a alpha male, but all the resposability goes to you. I give the commands if something goes wrong because I gave wrong or to vague commands its your fault.
Ok I can think of some bosses in a company that act like that, we would call that in germany "kolerisch". If you see somebody like that normaly you take him not for full, you help him out 1-2 times and it gets not better either you accept it because you get money from him, or you dont work with him ever again. At least thats what should be the reaction.
Its a bit like a amok-run. it can be sometimes be a bit productive in the short perspective, but if that happens to often, it will become destructive.
1) You've exhibited your skills for the position
2) You've established that you have the experience
3) You have the time and dedication
4) You gain a small group of 'followers' that believe in your work and ideas.
4) Optionally, take a stand and fork the project if you feel that your group is not being led in the right direction.
'fascism', 'committed', 'excellent' and 'sure'. I wont sit here and count all the places you misspelled but if you're going to take time to fan the flames, please do it powerfully enough by making an effort to take the time out to spell all of the words you're using correctly.
You fail to realize this is far bigger than you are able fathom. This isn't about the things you're talking about here. I'm nice by default but I can be a real asshole if you piss me off. This is true for just about any normal person. Don't mess with that which they are passionate. You might get a negative result.
My recommendation to anyone reading this is, don't piss me off. Don't come to me and and deliberately prance around as a 'fucking idiot' because this incites rage in me. And by this, I mean, have-commit-access-to-a-community-resource-as-an-active-community-member-but-never-take-the-time-to-include-minor-community-suggetions. If you think for a second that I have time in my life here to play your games, you're wrong. This has nothing to do with code and X and wayland and forking and all this nonsense. This is about something that is created by a world-wide community collectively, regardless if a few idiots must be trampled in the process. It is noteworthy that through this, I now have a very responsive website maintainer who is bright and doesn't care to know about any of this frivolous drama. The site is barely up and it's already 10 times better than the official wayland site, which is poorly maintained and is not very intuitive. Instead of making all the patches that might otherwise be scrutinized, I'm going to attempt to set a complete model example of a site as I see fit.
I deal with some of the smartest people in the world. When I am an idiot, I get trampled and I deserve it. When I am wrong, I am often times strongly corrected. This is well accepted and helps me to learn and grow as a person. I am quick to admit when I'm wrong. However, I do not have time for people who sit there and imply that they are interested in helping a project that I am personally passionate about, when they are actually not in fact interested in helping out. I am strongly passionate about what I do and I'm not going to sit around playing someone's malicious mind games. If someone gets hurt by one of my comments half way across the world from an IRC post, then they need to grow up. If they can't take the pressure, then get out of the kitchen. I'm trying to make something and can't have these things under my feet trying to trip me while I'm working on something here.
Just stop already. Stop trying to overshadow my positive influences. I didn't get to the point where I am today by fighting with every single person. This is a relatively isolated incident. Darxus is a constant problem for everyone, the entire community. Look into his patches and see for yourself if you think he possesses the skills as a 'wayland developer' as Daniel seems to have labeled him, for the purposes of their frivolous arguments.
Now to pull the nose up back toward the sky. On a positive note, the other developers and community have been very nice and helpful to me. I will list some people that I have observed, often and regularly taking the time to help me and others. These are people that have been consistently helpful to the project and others and I have not noticed engaging in deliberate malicious activity against others.

This is a list (severely incomplete) of people that are consistently helpful to the community including myself, and regularly encourage intellectual and innovative thinking. This is a very very small list compared to the massive support collectively provided by the good community members invloved here. I am leaving out.. ..so many names. (Sorry if your name was not listed here, the list is fairly random since there are so many helpful people surrounding this project). The important point to realize here, is that these people are still working on wayland as regularly scheduled. They have no need to get involved in this senselessness and they don't have time for it, just like I don't.

StyleOnTheCouch Loves: Herve Leger Fall 2012featured
This fall at Herve Leger, signature figure-hugging dresses were made yet more seductive with the added thrill of restraint. Harnesses at the hip, waist and bust and gladiator style corset boots accompanied each piece of the collection down the catwalk.
A little equestrian at times however overall pertaining to a bondage theme, the harnesses seen for fall 2012 seemed to be a development of the details we saw back in spring: back then we saw dresses with bodices, adorned with delicate metal belts.
This collection, inspired by feminine strength, is likely to appeal to those who love to show off their curves. (Which, naturally, is a pre-requisite for an overall liking of the label.) The harness details accentuate the feminine shape and certainly add a sense of drama to the proceedings.
I got a bit lost in the dominatrix accents at first – I almost overlooked the fact that different silhouettes punctuated the collection rather than it being bandage dress after bandage dress. Fringed skirts, long sleeves and even some skinny trousers found their way onto the catwalk this season at Leger.
Much of the collection is just what I have come to expect from Herve Leger – devastatingly sexy pieces, time after time. I'm a fan – are you?

Possible sources?
I read somewhere about "Call Me Joe" being a possible source and LeGuin's novlla makes perfect sense. Anyway, attempting to discover the correct or defnitive source will remain a fun game for years to come.

I have read the Deathworld Trilogy multiple times but I didn't even think of the similarities. I know I read The Word for the World is Forest but it must be 30+ years so I don't remember any of it. But "The Winds of Altair", "Call Me Joe" and "To Fell a Tree" I never even heard of.
1. Robert F. Young - "To Fell a Tree". First published in Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, July 1959, this obscure and rarely reprinted novella is perhaps the closest to the plot of "Avatar".

Got back about an hour ago from seeing Avatar in 3D and I was surprised. I really enjoyed it.
I've not seen a modern 3D film until today, so I was initially a bit giddy about the effect (the zero-g stuff at the start really impressed me) but, after a while the 3D ceased to impress and I think I'd have enjoyed the film equally had I seen in 2D and did feel that some scenes/shots were chosen to show off the 3D.
Also, it is a long film. I understand the need for the length - to build the bond between the audience and the Navi - but I really wish modern cinemas still did intermissions as after nearly 3 hours my vision was starting to blur due to not having been able to take a bathroom break!
After my initial comments on the CGI I was quite impressed. I think it was a shock at first, most CGI creations in live actions movies tend to be realistically coloured so seeing the bright blue Navi for the first time I did think they looked a little silly/cartoony. However, when watching the film they looked pretty real.
Storyline wasnt amazing and some later plot developments were so well sign posted Cameron might has well have popped up on screen and told you that this would be important later in the plot, before allowing the film to continue. However, I didnt mind in the end. I got quite involved and passionate about the whole thing! For me, the film echoed very much how the British Empire or more pointedly the trading companies it spawned, treated the natives of the various countries in the Empire. Of course you could also read into it the whole thing about big businesses being a driving force behind the Iraq and Afghanistan invasions.
What was impressive was the detail Cameron must have done on the world building. The Na'vi language, culture, the moon's eco-system...
So yeah, I really liked it and I am very glad I went to the big screen to watch it. Cameron again (after all, he can made me upset when a robot killing machine sacrifices itself in a vat of molten metal) proves that a film having a heart can make up for having a lack of plot.
I do kinda hate the fact I liked it so much though. I just felt myself getting dragged in!

Ive seen Avatar 3D last week!
Much has been said about this movie already. According to many, Avatar is a breakthrough accomplishment in special effects and 3D cinema and I immediately take their word for it. This is one of those movies during which I thought: this is visually the most beautiful movie I have ever seen and that happens only every few years. I am sure that a few years from now, there will be movies bigger and better than Avatar in their effects and 3D (even though Avatar has been ridiculously expensive). Avatar is the movie that people will emulate and, before you know it, do better. But! Avatar will be remembered for a long, long time to come, not because of the techniques that have been used, but because just of what has been created with these techniques.
I thought Avatars story was solid, but not very remarkable. At times downright predicable. But so were Star Wars and The Lord of the Rings. Its your standard Dances With Wolves or Pocahontas story, in which a soldier changes sides when he notices that his own people are the baddies, only you dont see these stories in a science fiction environment often. It is well written and I really started to care about the characters, as it should be done. James Camerons greatest achievement is the world he has created. This is escapism at its peak and it makes the 3D version truly stand out. Avatar feels real, as if Cameron truly flew to another world and took his camera with him, until you notice that everything looks bigger and better than on Earth and you remember that you are watching a movie.
Avatar does not strike me as the typical mediocre movie that tries to hide its lack of story behind awesome special effects; it is a great movie that does everything right, aims high and wins. I love it when that happens!
January 1st, 2010, 06:31 PM #80
Me too. I saw it earlier today without the 3d and it was phenomenal. It was a really solid cool movie up until the end when violent madness happens, which is when it became really awesome. it's been awhile for James Cameron but he hasn't forgotten how to make phenomenal action scenes. I could care less about the standards of visual effects, I hope this movie raises the standards of action scenes back to an impressive level. Name me a director who can put a better piece of explosive action on the screen that James Cameron. Outside of the world of martial arts he is the king and I'm glad he's back to making movies.

The SUNY Upstate Medical University Program in Geriatrics has housed the Central New York Alzheimer's Disease Assistance Center (CNY ADAC), serving as its clinical site. It has established itself as an innovative leader in the management of Alzheimer's disease
In 1988, the Program in Geriatrics was one of the original recipients of the Central New York Alzheimer's Disease Assistance Center, which was established by the New York State Department of Health through a competitive process. Over time, the CNY ADAC has been identified by health professionals of all specialties and disciplines, patients, families, as well as the news media, as the most comprehensive program in the area for diagnosis, management and provision of educational services for Alzheimer's disease and related dementias.
The CNY ADAC currently has a staff that includes geriatricians who work in conjunction with a geriatric nurse practitioners, gerontological social worker and nurses with expertise in geriatrics. Case management services are provided by our social worker with a particular emphasis on elders at risk, especially those who live alone or with frail caregivers.
The CNY ADAC has a strong working relationship with Onondaga County Adult Protective Services , which identifies and refers elders, especially those with dementia, who are at risk because of the inability of the patient, family or other caregivers, to seek and comply with medical management.
An individualized care and management plan is developed for each patient, and depends on the disease stage, patient's level of function, and amount of support that is available. Referrals are made to appropriate community resources, such as adult day care, home care, respite or long term care, and the social worker follows each care plan so that it can be adjusted or revised, as needed. The goal of all treatments and care plans is to reduce the stress and burden Alzheimer's disease has on the patient and family.

Backpack Jr. 49 49
Backpack Jr I love Garnet Hill for their exceptional customer service and great quality products. Our first backpack lasted more than 3 years. However, I noticed after 6 or 7 days of the backpack Jr's arrival it began to unravel in the stitching on the back side. A quick call to customer service and a new backpack was shipped overnight! Thank you Garnet Hill! October 2, 2014
Great backpack This backpack is so cute. It's high quality and is the perfect size for my pre-schooler! September 25, 2014
Fantastic Backpack This backpack is well made, the design is great (the front clip is a big hit with my little guy) and the design is adorable. Your collection had the cutest backpacks for little kids that I could find - please continue to provide these fabulous designs! This is my first purchase with Garnet Hill - but it will not be my last! September 16, 2014
Fabulous backpack for my 4 year old! We are very happy with this backpack. The quality is top notch and the fabric is very comfortable (not rough). My daughter is petite 4 yr old and the Jr size is just right. In fact, she will be able to grow into this over the next couple of years. Cupcake pattern is adorable with lots of compartments to store things. The bonus lunch box, which came free with this backpack, made the backpack a greta value! September 11, 2014
Happy 3 year old! We got the backpack and matching lunchbox for full day preschool. There is plenty of room in both and ( a must have for my kids) a mesh water bottle holder on the side. It us only the 1st month but I am not seeing any excessive wear. She loves the pattern! September 11, 2014
Great Backpack My daughter loves it. Great quality and tons of room and pockets. We also got the lunch bag with it (free)...great value and love that also. September 9, 2014

Comparative Analysis, Obstacles and Recommendations
In September 2000, the world's leaders gathered at the UN Millennium Summit and 189 nations in total adopted the United Nations Millennium Declaration, from which emerged the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). The MDGs form a set of political commitments aimed at tackling the major development issues faced by the developing world, within a fixed deadline.
While almost all the MDGs can be indirectly linked to water supply and sanitation (WSS) issues, Goal 7 on environmental sustainability addresses them directly: one of its targets, Target 10, is to "halve by 2015 the proportion of people without sustainable access to safe drinking water and basic sanitation" (access to sanitation has been added following the Johannesburg Sustainable Development Summit in 2002).
The four sub-components of MDG Target 10 are the following:
- Halve by 2015 the proportion of urban people without sustainable access to safe drinking water;
- Halve by 2015 the proportion of rural people without access to safe drinking water;
- Halve by 2015 the proportion of urban people without access to basic sanitation;
- Halve by 2015 the proportion of rural people without access to basic sanitation.
The baseline year for Target 10 has been set at 1990.
Numerous reports on the investment level needed to meet the MDGs' targets on water supply and sanitation have been written by international institutions or research institutes, providing an assessment at the global, regional or local level.
They all come to different cost estimates, even though they often rely on the same statistical data (current coverage rates, targeted population, etc) and on common basic definitions. Indeed, the interpretation of Target 10 in terms of technology and level of service is generally based on the definitions given in the Joint Monitoring Programme (JMP) Global Water Supply and Sanitation Assessment Report 2000.
It is therefore necessary to compare the calculation methods and underlying assumptions in order to explain the variation in estimates.
Firstly, it must be emphasised that the aim of this comparative study is not to find the "right methodology" or the "best report". Secondly, this paper does not wish to present a new cost estimate. On the contrary, it highlights the difficulty of comparing the various estimated costs and, more generally, of costing Target 10.
It also identifies: - conclusions that are common to all the assessment reports;- factors that create the greatest variations in the estimates;- potential weaknesses in each calculation method;- elements overlooked by all the reports and that must imperatively be included, and- the need for further assessments at the national and sub-national levels.
The comparative study reviews eleven cost assessments at global, regional and national levels. These have been analysed and summarised using a common, detailed format which enables comparison of the investment sectors covered by the assessments, the assumptions used and the methods of calculation.
The global assessments reviewed range from 9 billion to 30 billion USD per year. The variation between the estimates is largely due to:(i) problems in defining Target 10: particularly the terms "safe" water and "basic" sanitation need to be clearly specified, with consistent criteria;(ii) the lack of reliable data reflecting the real situation with respect to WSS: this leads to considerable vagueness and shortcomings in the assessments;(iii) the different methods and assumptions used, throughout the calculations, to assess the target population for service provision by 2015, the level of service to be implemented and the unit cost of each water supply and sanitation technology. Consequently, it is difficult to compare the estimated costs.
In general, the estimates failed to include in their calculations:(i) costs for maintenance, rehabilitation or replacement of existing, ageing or neglected infrastructure;(ii) costs for development of water storage and conveyance infrastructure aimed at providing people with more water resources;(iii) costs for capacity building, hygiene education, policy planning, monitoring and regulation. Yet this kind of investment is vital if "sustainable" access to WSS is to be ensured for all, and might be very costly. As a result, the global cost of reaching Target 10 has been underestimated.
Furthermore, the cost assessments reviewed reflect only the economic cost of investment, with no allowance for the way in which the required investments will be financed. This explains why none of the reports reviewed have added the financing charges (interest payments, commissions, commitments fees…) to the cost of the projected infrastructure. Similarly, if local communities, for example in rural areas, contribute their labour to a project, the monetary cost of the investment required will be reduced. The fact that these factors have not been taken into consideration surely lessens the relevance of the MDG cost assessments, if their objective is a "real" funding requirement figure for Target 10 fulfilment.
It must be stressed that Target 10 only covers water for people and not water for agriculture and industry. Moreover, other MDG targets are either directly or indirectly related to water and sanitation issues. For example, the fulfilment of Target 9 on environmental sustainability and the conservation of natural resources implies wastewater treatment, which is extremely costly. Hence, limiting investment requirements in the WSS sector to Target 10 alone is too restrictive.
In any case, additional funding must be allocated to the WSS sector because the investment requirements are larger than evaluated in the reports and current investment in water supply and sanitation in the developing world are estimated at a mere 14 to 16 billion USD per year (GWP 2000, "Camdessus report" 2003). The effort must focus primarily on sanitation, urban areas, and on Sub-Saharan Africa, India and China.
Target 10 is particularly difficult to cost at the global level. Besides, given the number of global estimates that already exist, it seems pointless to spend even more time and resources refining them. On the contrary, future efforts should be concentrated on the local level, with more planning and, therefore, assessments at national and sub-national levels. Furthermore, that type of assessment is more accurate and might be more helpful to governments of developing countries and donors as an indicator to determine the amount of public funds or official development aid to be allocated to the WSS sector.
A general agreement on a more comprehensive, standardised calculation methodology that could be used by all to generate results at country level should be encouraged: these results could then be compared with each other.

As the pace of Fragile X research accelerates, prospects of finding effective treatments and a cure for Fragile X and autism continue to improve. FRAXA funded research teams are leading the way.
FRAXA funded research spans the spectrum of basic science, pre-clinical, and clinical research — all coordinated to make the most of each dollar. We maintain a diversified approach, developing several treatment strategies in parallel, since success is never certain in developing a single drug. We continue to fund research to define the precise defect in the Fragile X brain, because these basic studies may yield additional important treatment targets.
In the words of FRAXA Scientific Advisor, Dr. Justin Fallon, "Fragile X is poised to become a triumph for translational research and the design of rational therapeutics for brain disease."

Prize Puzzle 251 winner lives in East Rochester
Thursday, December 20, 2012
ROCHESTER — The winner of the Baldface Books Prize Puzzle No. 251 is Larry Reynolds of East Rochester, whose name was drawn from the Hat of Correct Solvers, this month, by the compiler. He will shortly receive a gift certificate for $15 from our much appreciated sponsor, Clyde Allen, whose book store is as haven for the discriminating on Dover's Central Avenue. It should also be noted that Larry actually solved the especially tough puzzle, No. 250, but his name was omitted from the honor roll, as the postal service didn't rush his entry through by deadline.
The next Baldface Books Prize Puzzle, No 252, which I think you might all enjoy, will be published in the Rochester Times and online at www.fosters.com on Thursday, Jan. 3, 2013. Until then...

All of us have seen pictures of tourists "holding up" Pisa's famous Leaning Tower, the Torre Pendente. This bell tower built on soggy marshland has been leaning since its construction in the 12th century. There is much more to see and do in Pisa and its surroundings than just holding up a leaning bell tower, though. The Piazza dei Miracoli, a UNESCO World Heritage site, on which the famous tower rests, is also the home of the beautiful cathedral, the Duomo di Pisa, as well as the Battistero, or Baptistry, and museums full of Italian sculptures and art.
Outside of the tourist area, Pisa is a quaint city full of palaces, churches and museums. On the more modern front, it can be said to be a city dominated by students with the University of Pisa enrolling around 52,000 students. Cafes and restaurants can be found on every corner with happy hour treats drawing in customers in the evenings.
Pisa is known for more than its Leaning Tower and University, however. On the last Sunday of June you can witness a special medieval battle in full costumes called the Gioco del Ponte (Game of the Bridge) that takes place on the Ponte Mezzo Bridge. It is a game based on Pisa's folklore and is essentially a battle between the different neighbourhoods of Pisa. Pisa is also a great starting point for making short trips to other unique cities in Tuscany. The captivating medieval town of Siena is close by, and the art central of Italy, Florence, can even be reached by a bicycle tour that takes you around the beautiful Tuscan countryside.
The airport is located 4 km south of Pisa.
Finnair flies to Pisa from 22 June until 14 August 2015.

Chili Supper benefits Drama
- Written by Super User
SOAP cleans up at state
Masons cook chili to benefit SHS Drama Department
What does it take to clean up at the UIL state meet? A little SOAP . . . Salado One-Act Play.
With four appearances at the state meet, two state championships, and innumerable individual awards, Salado High School's theatre department continues to put trophies on the shelf.
Work begins on the fall comedy in September, work on the One Act Play is year round.
"The first step is finding the just-right script." according to theater teacher and One Act Play director J.J. Jonas. Jonas and Kyra Mann direct the One Act Play each year.
As soon as the fall comedy ends in late November, Jonas and Mann are ready to hold auditions for SOAP immediately after Thanksgiving. The Fall Comedy is The Sugar Bean Sisters and will be performed on Nov. 8 and 15 at the Salado High School Auditorium.
Additionally, the Salado Masonic Lodge is holding a fundraiser to benefit the Drama department at Salado High School. "Salado Masons hold the chili supper each year for a different group in the school system," said Truitt Bradly, Master of Salado Lodge. "Masons have a long history of supporting education, particularly public schools here in Texas. Our chili supper is one way that we continue to show our support of what goes on in Texas, and more importantly, in Salado classrooms."
"We are proud to partner with the Drama department in Salado schools for this project," he added.
The chili supper will be 5-7 p.m. Nov. 9 at the Salado Intermediate School. Tickets are $7 for adults, $3.50 for students ages 6-11 and free for childrenfive and under. Enjoy a great chili dinner before Salado Eagles take the field in the final game of their football season against the McGregor Bulldogers.
Although more than 130 students are enrolled in theatre classes at Salado High School, only a maximum of 24 can make the final UIL Salado One-Act Play (SOAP) team (15 actors, 5 technical crew, and 4 alternates) according to UIL rules.
Last year, three SOAP graduates were given full 2-year scholarships based on their UIL OAP record and experience. Others received partial scholarships for a combination of UIL academic and OAP participation.
SHS has appeared in the state finals of One Act Play competition four times, taking home championships in 2010 and 2012.

Repairing and Rebuilding Chimneys in Chicago, IL
Chimney repair Chicago is crucial to keep the performance of your venting system as well as keep your home safe. The expense of repair services are much less than a partial or an overall restore; which will certainly be essential if it is not immediately serviced. Therefore, you must get your stack serviced as soon as possible once you notice it is experiencing difficulties.
Getting A Patent For A New Chimney Repair Process Is Important
When a chimney falls apart, there are different methods you can use to fix it. With each company, you are going to have a new method. When you discover a new way you are going to be able to fix the problem, you need to be able to put a patent on it. Any discovery is going to be something you are going to want to protect. Some may feel that having a patent on something is nothing really special. With the entire process costing you a lot of time, you are going to want to be compensated for your time. When someone takes your method and brands it as their own, they are stealing vital customers from you in this regard.
When you lose customers, you are going to hate the fact that they were able to take them without any consequences. However, if you have a patent for a new chimney repair process, you are going to be able to take that from them and have them pay you some royalties. This is money for no work on your part. Several companies look to patents as their way of protecting their product, but also, a way of getting some cash from people who have taken their idea and tried to brand it as their own. You have to be able to make money off of your idea and when someone takes it from you, this gives you the right to get angry and go after them for damages to your name and reputation. You never know if someone is going to take your idea and give it a bad reputation.
Find out how to get a patent.
If that happens, you are going to lose customers when they hear that you use the same method as someone who stole it from you and hurt your brand. The patent law is there to protect you and your discovery. You have every right to be upset when someone steals that idea. Multi-billion dollar companies are constantly going after one another over the patents of a product. You have to be able to give the client something they have never had before and allow them to have a chimney repaired without any hassle. That is the business plan that everyone needs to have, but sadly, it is not going to happen. You have to always be on the lookout for people who want to steal your ideas.
The patent is going to protect your method, not your supplies. Just because someone uses the same supplies as you, doesn't mean they are going to use your method. Some people get this confused when filing for a patent. You are not going to ever have to patent the supplies that you use because they are tools. The method of getting the best repair is what you are going to be able to patent. This is going to allow you to have a unique method of your own without needing to go through so many hoops just to get an idea pushed through. You have to have everything in line before going after anyone.
Tuckpointing Repairs in Chicago
It is crucial that tuckpointing be carried out when needed, or else the whole chimney could break down or fail. Tuck pointing will certainly lengthen the life of your chimney and, if done right, improve the appearance of it. The majority of licensed and certified businesses will certainly have masonry professionals as workers that manage Chicago tuck pointing.

Chimney liners are critical to avoid troubles from taking place in the flue, as well as your home. Liners protect your home from heat transferring from it, to the combustible items inside your house. It is recommended by the CSIA (Chimney Safety Institute of America) to always have your liner installed by licensed professionals.
chimney lining installation company
Protecting the integrity of your chimney will also ensure the safety of your household. Fireplaces that are not up to code or are poorly maintained are much more likely to cause fire risks and ultimately put the lives of the residents in danger. Masonry work, chimney repairs, and lining all prevent your vent system from requiring a rebuild; which will save you lots of time and money. It is essential that you make sure that any company you contact is licensed and certified. If your services are performed by non-certified technicians, your chimney may become at risk for collapsing or causing a furnace fire. Ultimately, do your research, contact a couple of businesses, and then make your decision. However, if your system has severe defects, it is important to obtain services as soon as possible.
If there's one thing that can really make a house a home, then it is a carpet. Many homeowners choose to install a new carpet into their lounge when they move in as a way of putting their stamp on the place.
For starters, you need to select the right equipment. Not all rental carpet cleaning machines are the same and some have been around for far too long. Choose a machine that looks new, with little scratches and signs of abuse. A machine that looks new, is probably new and will work better. Along with the machine, also pick up a bottle of the carpet shampoo and purchase a 1 gallon pumped up sprayer. If you don't want to do it yourself, you can check out Pleasanton's carpet cleaning company.
The better option for you would be to hire a good carpet cleaner. You should get the services of reliable a cleaning company every once in a while. They are very knowledgeable and are trusted experts that are ready how to clean your carpet take care of your carpet the best way possible. They also have the perfect equipment that they can use for the best treatment and cleaning services they can give you. They have the equipment and procedures that can remove the dirt, stains, and bacteria that have possibly settled deep into the carpet.
The right carpet cleaner knows how to take care of your carpets, which can get worn out with the wrong cleaning technique. Strong detergents can cause discoloration or dullness of your carpets. Carpet cleaning would be useless if you end up with an ugly carpet.
If the water is dirty, you will need to call a carpet cleaning company or restoration service to remove the water and the carpet. After you have determined that the water is clean, you may proceed with removing the water and cleaning your carpet. The first step is to use a wet vacuum to suck all the water out of your carpet. You should do this as soon as possible in order to minimise any water damage. If you do not own a wet vacuum, you can buy or rent one from a local home improvement store.
After you get a professional cleaning for your rug, make sure that you do not come in contact with the rug until it dries. Go out to the store or hang out with your friends for a little while as your rug should not be toyed with due to the sensitivity after cleaning.
To get good results for your carpet, ask your local Livermore's carpet cleaner which method best suits the material of your carpet. A trust worthy carpet cleaner will always give you sound advice on the best method for your carpet to remain clean and look nice and warm in the house. Get a carpet cleaner with experience and a good reputation and you know that they will give you value for your money. Try keeping the carpet clean also by vacuuming it regularly at home. Invest in a quality vacuum cleaner to have a clean carpet.
Chimney Tattoos
There's no denying that Chimney design tattoo designs can make very eye-catching and head-turning tattoos for both genders. Various Chimney design symbols have become desired body art and have an endless possibilities of use, depending on one's desire.
Just the same, Chimney design crosses are also sought-after tattoos. Predating a Christianity symbol, the Chimney design Cross has other meanings: As the Chimney design cross have equal vertical and horizontal arms, it is likewise known as the equal-armed cross which represents balance between extreme forces. Of course, the Chimney design cross is still a favorite Christian symbol. Get tattoos for girls.
Another Chimney design symbol that is popular as a tattoo design is the Spirals. The triskele, a particular spiral that goes back to thousands of years even before the Celts, was discovered in the British Isles. It has a tribal type design and is definitely an eye-catching tattoo design.
Zoomorphic, animal images, are another type of cool chimney design tattoos which are just as famous as the previously mentioned. These designs of birds, lions, serpents, dragons and other animals drawn in a Chimney design way definitely provide a beautiful sight once etched on the skin. In the medieval book of Kells that kept record of classic Chimney design arts, these animal images can be found and in fact are used as an inspiration of modern Chimney design style tattoos.
Chimney design tattoos blend well specifically with striking colors, which can be anything from the traditional green (at least traditional to Ireland) to blues, reds and any color pairing your mind can come up with. If one decides to have a bright Chimney design knot work in any part of his body, but better on the arm, he will be surely a walking piece of art. When you get your tattoo, it is important to know how to prevent tattoo infections.
Are Chimney design tattoos really genuine? Some people can't help wondering. This can actually be a valid question since there is no proof that the ancient Celts actually had tattoos. No one knows if they actually painted themselves in battles contrary to the natives of the South Pacific where people had to go through the excruciating process of getting a permanent tattoo. In the case of the Celts, no one really knows!
Nonetheless, this does not refute the fact that the designs people use today to make Chimney design tattoos are traditional to the Chimney design domains. The way we use them now may be different from the way they were used in the past but that's not really an issue for cultural practices and symbols evolve with the changing of time.
We wanted to take a step back from all this chimney talk and talk about the importance of making sure your windows have a good seal before the winter gets here in Chicago. If your windows do not close tightly, your heating bill will skyrocket, as we are supposed to have "the worst winter yet," which is hard to imagine after last year's winter. When the window is closed, put your hand by it and see if you feel any drafting, either hot or cold air, depending on the temperature of the air outside. If you feel any air at all (first make sure that it is not coming from a nearby vent), then you will most likely need to either replace your windows or get a pillow to stuff by them. If you choose the former option, then we have some suggestions for you, and if you choose the latter, we wish you the best of luck.
When getting new windows it is important to, just like getting anything else, call around and ask for estimates. This will give you a way to see how the company operates and how much they charge. Find out if their prices are competitive. If they aren't, then find out why they're not competitive. Sometimes the higher end companies will charge more for your services and sometimes it's worth the extra money. The opposite is true too. Sometimes lower end companies will charge a lot less than competitors so they will have business from people on stricter budgets, and this might be the right option for you if you are in a tight spot concerning money. Maybe you should take a look at Budget Construction Company. We have heard many people mention this company, but have not had any experience with them ourselves. They have services that include installing new windows in Chicago. The pictures you see in the content are actually taken directly from their website. Upon further investigation, we noticed that they have a multitude of services, including siding in Chicago. Decide for yourself if they are worth checking out and tell us what you think! You can always look here for more information.

I just put one of these Spinifex 4WD Mats on layby. I tried it out in the store at Anaconda on a camp bed and on the floor as well and they seem the most comfy rather than an air bed which i have at the moment.
What i wanted to know is has anyone got any tips for rolling them up easily for one person? I sort of forgot to give that a try in the shop. I was going to get the single but opted to get the double for more sleeping room.

What is Revolution Macalibrium® Men?
Maca-OGTM is not a normal Maca product but is one of the highest quality nutraceuticals on the market today. Maca-OGTM is an organically grown and processed, proprietary combination and ratio of four major phenotypes of Lepidium peruvianum Chacon - a specific species of the herb commonly known as Maca. There are 13 different phenotypes of Lepidium peruvianum Chacon - many appearing to display different gender and age-related therapeutic effects. From the organic Maca roots, which are planted and grown on NHI's plantation at 4,300m in the Peruvian Andes, NHI selects specific phenotypes. After harvest, the Maca roots are dried using traditional organic methods to enhance and maximize the desired therapeutic effects of the herb. They are then put through NHI's patented ┼, organic and GMP certified, manufacturing process. To our knowledge NHI's entire process, which avoids extreme heat, chlorine and other chemicals, is the only 100% natural and organic method currently in operation in Peru. With these superior methods applied across the board from production to manufacture, the process results in Maca-OGTM. This is a concentrated, herbal preparation with enhanced therapeutic potency based on the entire spectrum of active constituents as compared to standard Maca powder. In a comparative laboratory study on Maca-OGTM, it has been further shown, that when compared to the highest quality Maca extracts on the market, not only does Maca-GOTM have a higher level of actives, but also a much wider spectrum of key actives which contribute to reported high potency of Revolution Macalibrium® Men.
Is Revolution Macalibrium® Men for you?
Revolution is for men with decreased energy and low vitality who are looking for a complete health supplement to support their overall levels of wellbeing.
How does Revolution MacalibrumTM help?
Once you reach your 30's natural production of hormones such as testosterone and growth hormone decreases, resulting in lower energy levels, and other common signs of aging. This decline in hormone production accelerates with age. Revolution Macalibrium® Men, through its adaptogenic properties, stimulates your body's production of natural hormones to optimal levels, improving health, increasing energy and enhancing wellbeing.
The data from our pharmacology research on Revolution demonstrates:
How does Revolution Macalibrium® Men work?
Revolution works primarily through its adaptogenic properties. Stimulation of the hypothalamus (through your pituitary and adrenal glands and your nervous system), induces your body to create a healthy balanced state that promotes optimal health. Revolution therefore works in a unique way for each man - supporting your individual biological make-up and optimizing your personal health status at any stage of your life.

FLASHBACK: The Monkees Play Debut Concert in Hawaii
Monday, December 3, 2012
It was 46 years ago tonight (December 3rd, 1966), that the Monkees made their first live appearance. The group -- Micky Dolenz, Davy Jones, Mike Nesmith and Peter Tork -- played a 40-minute set in Hawaii at the Honolulu International Center Arena. The "pre-fab four," as they were affectionately called, were riding high with their hit sitcom, which had premiered the previous September on NBC, along with their recent Number One smash, "Last Train To Clarksville." Last night (December 2nd) in New York City, surviving Monkees -- Micky Dolenz, Peter Tork, and Mike Nesmith -- wrapped their 12-date reunion tour, marking the band's first shows with Nesmith since 1997 and their first since Davy Jones' death on February 29th at age 66.
During the 1966 Honolulu show, the Monkees performed solely as a four-piece band, with Dolenz on drums, Nesmith on guitar, Tork on bass, organ and banjo, and Jones alternating between tambourine, maracas and drums. The show's producers had them play in the out-of-the-way destination hoping that if the group flopped, news would be slow to travel to the mainland.
Shortly before his death, Davy Jones, who pushed for the group to perform live from the time the show hit, said that he still considered performing live his main stock in trade: "I need to be live in front of people. I don't need to be making two movies a year and being hidden away and falling in love with my leading lady anymore. I've already done that."
The group embarked on their first full U.S. tour during the spring of 1967.
In 2001, the group released the four-disc Summer 1967: The Complete U.S. Concert Recordings, featuring roughly the same set list as their debut concert.

Secure Cyber Networks
Protecting Government Networks
DHS is responsible for overseeing the protection of the.gov domain and for providing assistance and expertise to private sector owners and operators. The agency's work benefits the information technology community and the public at-large.
Detecting and Responding to Malicious Activity
DHS uses intrusion detection tools to monitor .gov network traffic for malicious activity and uses this resulting data to address cyber vulnerabilities.
In addition, DHS issues bulletins and alerts that provide information on potential cyber threats. Last year, DHS issued more the 5,000 alerts and advisories, which it shared with various government, private sector, and critical infrastructure stakeholders; as well as the public.
DHS also operates a cyber information coordination center, the National Cybersecurity and Communications Integration Center (NCCIC), and several operational units. These units respond to incidents and provide technical assistance to information system operators. The NCCIC coordinates the information collected through these channels to create a common operating picture for cyber communities across all levels of government and the private sector.
Ensuring Security and Resilience in the Cyber Ecosystem
DHS activities help ensure the security and resiliency of the .gov network, enabling citizens to reliably access Federal Government information and services. DHS's assistance to the private sector and critical infrastructure efforts to secure their own cyber networks helps the nation's overall cybersecurity posture.

Republicans focus on workplace flexibility measure in weekly address
A measure recently approved by the U.S. House altering federal overtime laws that was sharply opposed by Democrats, and isn't expected to pass the Democrat-led Senate, was the subject of Saturday's weekly Republican address.
Rep. Martha Roby, R-Alabama, who authored the Working Families Flexibility Act, said the measure "provides options for working moms and dads who need more time to take care of family responsibilities" and "demonstrates how applying conservative principles can help working Americans in their everyday lives."
The measure, which was approved 223-204 this week in the House, would extend certain rules dictating overtime pay for government workers to those working in the private sector.
The proposed law would allow workers to choose extra pay for time worked over 40 hours per week, or instead take "comp" time that could be used at a later date.
That benefit is currently enjoyed by Americans working in the public sector, and Roby said Saturday her bill would allow all workers to "have more freedom in the workplace."
Democrats, however, oppose the measure, saying it leaves an opening for employers to exploit their workers. They have cited concerns about employees not being able to utilize "comp" time earned from overtime work, and say the system is effective in the public sector since many of those employees are unionized.
"I understand it's comp time, but they won't get paid," House Democratic Whip Steny Hoyer said Wednesday. "Most workers at this level need the pay. They need to pay their mortgage, they need to pay their car payment, they need to send their kids to school."
Roby defended her bill on Saturday, saying it won't "change the 40-hour work week or how overtime pay is calculated."
"The same protections that have been a part of labor law for decades remain, and we've added additional protections against coercion or unfair treatment," she continued. "This bill also doesn't add government regulation to the workplace - we have enough red tape as is."
