Ugh, I hate Apple's stupid restrictions. I use this application a lot on my iPad but it needs some updates.
VLC for iPhone removed from App Store
It's now officially official, the VLC application for iPhone and iPad has been pulled from the App Store after several months of contention. Some of the contributors to the open-source VLC application contend that Apple's App Store isn't compatible with the GPL (GNU Public License) components of the app.
At last, Apple has removed VLC media player from its application store. Thus the incompatibility between the GNU General Public License and the AppStore terms of use is resolved - the hard way. I am not going to pity the owners of iDevices, and not even the MobileVLC developers who doubtless wasted a lot of their time. This end should not have come to a surprise to anyone.
VLC made it's way onto the iPad first in September and then hit for the iPhone and iPod Touch in October. It was a good short run for the app and if you are one of the ones who was able to download the app within the past three months enjoy it as no one further will have the ability to get their VLC-on on their iOS devices.

VLC for iPhone removed from App Store
You seem to be the idiot here. Read the 3 comments above to why it was pulled. Seeing as you have an android now, you'd probably be better off going somewhere else to make comments that make you look retarded.
Dam. I use this app a lot to watch AVI and mkv files on my TV through composite connector. Anyone know of alternative???
This article unfairly makes it seem like the VLC devs are acting out of some misplaced emotions, when this was actually a very simple licensing issue. Apple distributed software without honoring the valid licensing terms of that software. VLC did not hide tneir license, yet Apple still did this this knowingly, intentionally, and for a long period of time. If the shoe was on the other foot, and somebody has distributing OSX components in violation of Apple's terms, people here would (rightfuly) be calling for their heads. Apple should not get any special dispensation here because we like their phones. They decided they could ignore the terms of of a developer - or, worse,they unilaterally decided that developers implicitly waive licensing rights by submitting to Apple.
The VLC devs were not "upset" about incompatibilities - there are incompatibilities, and Apple decided other people's rules don't apply to them. They, not VLC, deserve to be called out o. Tis.
The AppStore rules are in plain sight. Why submit an app knowing that the drm added on the AppStore breaks the GLU? Expecting Apple to not add drm as an exception?
This is the fault of the devs of mobile vlc, not Apple, they should not have submitted it in the first place.
Perhaps they should not have submitted it - no argument there (from me).
However, once they did, it becomes Apple's responsibility to vet the licensing terms of the submitted software and either abide by them or reject the app outright. They did neier - and that is definitely Apple's fault, and Apple's mistake.
Is notbatnfault - they clearly make it the developers responsibilty to ensure submissions are legal. It is not theirs.
No, you never waive YOUR OWN responsibilities under contract law. The VLC developers (assuming they could get every contributor to agree) could give Apple a waiver, or Apple could indemnify a 3rd party, but Apple cannot do that for themselves. Apple distributed software that came with clear, explicit, responsibilities, and they chose to ignore them.
Dev - sounds like not everyone agrees about whether or not the licenses are incompatible. In spirit they may not be (free apps are free) while by the letter they may be (DRM on free apps).
Personally I understand the need to be ever vigilant when it comes to the GPL but I wish there was a pragmatic middle-ground. Let the source be released and the free nature of the app trump the FairPlay wrapper.
Definitely dumb move by the VLC devs...
Did they not know the rules of the App Store, BEFORE they submitted their app?
Or, did they just IMAGINED that Apple would bow down for VLC?
I like the app, but there a dozens of alternatives, OPlayer, CineXPlayer, YXPlayer and BUZZ Player alike.
So, VLC devs, get yourself together and act so... Try to RTFM before you go out shouting!
That does not excuse Apple from ignoring their responsibilities under the licensing terms presented to the. By the developers.
Since VLC (and I presume VLCMobile) freely distributes the source code, anyone with a developer account could compile it and submit it to the app store. The developers of VLCMobile may not have even had any formal association with the developers of VLC.
In addition, even if all the developers of VLC itself were willing to change the license, they couldn't do it. VLC uses other GPL-licensed libraries. Who knows how many hundreds, thousands of developers have contributed to VLC in some indirect way, all submitting code under the GPL.
I have the iPad. I love it. VLC on the iPad was cool, but, buggy. Another cool app gone. Typical Apple nonsense. A new generation of Tablets is coming now, and developers like this will go elsewhere. Watch out Apple. Just saying.
I seriously can't believe how many complete idiots we have reading this blog. I swear the article couldn't have been any more clear that the devs got it pulled but there's idiot after idiots blaming Apple for this, still posting after others have tried to correct their lack of reading comprehension.
Dev and I have debated this one before, and I from the start of this whole TOS/Lic debacle I have felt that this app should never have been submitted to Apple, it should have gone straight to Cydia.
My opinion is that this may have been a stunt on the part of the developer because the App Store TOS for submission is no more a mystery then the GNU Lic is. Apple did ignore the Lic, but the Developer was equally wrong when they disregarded apples's TOS.
VLC is a nice app, and I am sorry to see it go but respect the developer's decision to pull.
We have agreed more than disagreed - I would not call it a stunt, per se, but I definitely think this was at least in part to see how Apple would react to GPL'd software appearing on the App Store. Apple failed this test only in ignoring the license and distributing anywyas - they would have been perfectly in their rights either to distribute the App under GPL rules, or to reject it outright. The fact they did neither, but ignored/trampled the explicit terms of the license, is the only problem.
I don't respect the developers for submitting it in the first place, but I really don't respect Apple's running roughshod over the same sort of licensing and IP rights for OSS developers that they are quick to claim for themselves.
@Bill, im wondering the same. I like the VLC player but hoping we will soon find a good alternative since they wont be doing anymore updates. As for now, im sticking with it.
It's a shame the license had to get in the way here. From my understanding the issue was that the license requires that the app is freely distributable. Meaning if I have the iPad version I could give it to someone else directly. Why would that even be necessary if they can get it just as easily from the app store for free?
Dumb restrictions making a good app unavailable to all who don't jailbreak.
You guys are being a bit dramatic about this. Not worth the that much effort imo.
This is a fairly esoteric issue among open source people. They themselves are conflicted about what is possible or not with the GPL when in concerns App Store apps that have GPL code. Whether VLC GPL code should be available in the App Store was disagreed upon by VLC developers themselves. Apple has no horse in this discussion. Since one VLC developer had an issue with it, it was within his rights to request it to be pulled. It didn't matter that other VLC developers thought it was fine.
Here's another example: Wolfenstein 3D uses GPLed code. It's still in the App Store and the developers apparently don't have a problem that.
The license - and whether to grant exceptions/dual licenses, like Wolf3d, is entirely up to the developers in question. Apple's mistake was in accepting the App when those rights had not been explicitly granted by all contributors, and then keeping the app available for distribution after some contributors explicitly said they would not grant those rights.
This sounds like crazy talk to me. What's the purpose of having a written license then?
Applidium reads the GPL and interpreted there action of making the app free, providing the source code free, and making the source code available. Even the VLC org seems to agree with that.
Apple distributes the app. Not sure what there role is other to do the usual cursory checks they do.
Some entity, be it Apple, Applidium, VLC, going back to the contributors and making sure they could use it sounds like crazy talk to me. There's no need assign blame or anything here.
The written word and what people interpret as ok or not, even in the most clear and consistent language, will have corner cases that will have people arguing ad nauseum.
Really, the case here with Applidium's VLC app is splitting hairs to me. But hey, it's their cup of tea and they enjoy it. Good for them. I'm indifferent.
You miss the point. The point in having a license is to enumerate what can and cannot be done. Developers can choose to grant exemptions or relicense for a specific client or store, as presumably was the case with iD/Wolf3D, otherwise they by default have the follow the license terms. If Apple had sought/was granted such an exemption, there would be no problem. They didn't, so the terms of the GPL should have applied. Apple ignored those terms - that was the problem.
I disagree. It is the developer's responcibiltity to ensure their software meets Apple's TOS, including it's license. The submitter should have gotten the exclusions.
Think of it like YouTube. Everyone knows YouTube does not accept copyrighted video, but people still submit it. YouTube cannot vet every video so it expects people to follow it's TOS.
If a copyright owner objects to it's video on YouTube, it can have it removed, similar to what happend with VLC here.
But wrong. YouTube does not purport to vet submissions; Apple does. YouTube does not have explicit contracts with posters; Apple does with developers. And finally, if a license violation is filed, YouTube removes the offending material; Apple continued to distribute well after the violation had been asserted publicly.
No, not the developer themselves. They are as pissed at this as VLC for iOS users are. Here's the situation as I understand it.
- At the heart of VLC (be it on Mac OS, Windows, Linux, whatever), is software licensed under the GNU Public License (GPL). The software is contributed to VLC by various people and entities. The software belongs to these contributors and they make it available through the GPL, which essentially boils down to enforcing people who re-use the code for their own apps to free distribute it and make it possible for other developers to use freely. There are many fine points and there are many different types of "open source" licensing schemes.
- Since VLC is a fairly hefty project, a non-profit organization (board members, directors, blah blah blah) has been setup to provide some modicum of direction, development and organization for the open source parts of the software.
- Applidium, a French mobile developer, has taken the VLC open source code and made an iOS app. They are free to do this. Their VLC app for iOS is free and they have made the source code to anyone who wants it. They believe they have done what is necessary to satisfy the GPL.
- Apple reviewed Applidium's app and approved it for download from the App Store. However, there are couple of weird things. Apple wraps DRM onto all App Store apps (to prevent piracy, blah blah blah). Another thing about it is that it is not free to the developer to deploy apps onto iOS devices. They must pay an annual $99 fee to be part of the iOS developer program. The DRM limits the distribution of the app to 5 iOS devices.
- Some members of the VLC open source community interpret that GPL software (GPL v2) cannot have DRM restrictions, that Apple's EULA cannot be placed on top of the GPL, and who knows what. Some members thinks VLC for iOS is fine. One particular contributor to the VLC software (his code is in VLC) didn't think the GPL allowed this and formally asked Apple to remove Applidium's VLC app from the App Store.
- Apple complied.
- The usual gnashing of teeth.
No, DRM itself that is the problem. Under the GPL, you cannot add code to a project and distribute it without also making your modifications available under the GPL. Apple is not making their modifications available => license violation. It would not matter if the code added DRM or a menu screen with your mom's Cobb Salad recipe; if that code is not made available, it is a violation. Some people hate that part of the license (we often avoid GPL for this reason) but that is the main feature of the GPL, and it is right there in black and white.
I fail to see how DRM software relates to the GPL. It's entirely about usage rights and distribution.
The DRM isn't part of the program. What it does is encrypt the app binary (or AAC or ePub), and then locks it. iTunes will give the user up to 5 keys so it can be played, run or read on their iTunes compatible device. I can't see how you can argue that the DRM is part of the program here. In different words, DRM is the manner in which Apple restricts usage of iTunes products which include or included music, video, ePub books and iOS apps. Usage restriction is anathema to GPL. The DRM software has nothing to do with it. The DRM itself is simply the manner in which Apple implements the restrictions.
The VLC contributor's issue, with the FSF supporting and others, is that iOS and the App Store restricts how the app can distributed. Only through the app store, only with 5 other devices. The user can't email the app or distribute it themselves.
It's very easy to see how Applidium thought it was fine (or worth the risk) and it's very easy to see how Apple's app review process doesn't care about it.
The application is free. The user can't share the app by their own hand, but it's available to everyone who can run the application by just going through iTunes. In the end, the result is the same. Anyone who wants it, can get it. (Assuming it was available in all countries.) No restrictions on using it. The esoterica is simply that an iOS user can't distribute it, it's really Apple that's doing it. Hence, why everyone thinks DRM is the problem.
As for Apple's vetting, they review thousands of applications every week. The App Store terms for apps are that licenses on software from third party apps is a matter between the user and the submitter (the app vendor). They aren't going to be worrying about the fine details about this, and appear entirely happy to deal with it after the fact.
Personally, there's not much to get excited over. It's a bunch of GPL guys fighting. (This is not uncommon in the "open source" arena as is evident in the plethora of licenses). Everyone knows the terms and risks, and they knew the beast that is Apple. Honestly, there is no need to say there is someone at fault here.
The only way the GPL guys will let GPL software onto the App Store is Apple removing an usage restrictions on GPL apps. Apple will have to allow user distribution and loading of apps in iOS. They are not going to do that. It'll certainly be something done on their own terms.
(For the others, the GPL parts of "open source" isn't the end all or be all. It's one part of the movement. There's a lot of software using the BSD license, Apache's license, Apple's own APSL. It comes in all flavors. GPL is more of crusading, virulent license scheme).
1) Encrypting the binary still modifies the program. There is nothing in the GPL to say this specific type of modification is disallowed, but there is also nothing there that says it qualifies as a linking or other exception. Since it is a modification, and modifications with redistribution by default comes with strings attached, in the absence of an explicit exception, the logical play is to assume the worst.
2) The end result is not the same, at least not for the GPL die-hards.. Allowing end users free access to the program is entirely tangential to the goals of the GPL. The point of the GPL is to force people to share their knowledge as a condition of incorporating your own knowledge. The idea behind the GPL is not to increase userbase; it is the somewhat idealistic notion that sharing everything advances us all faster, and they wrote the license specifically to require that sharing above all else. That it can sometimes increase the software's popularity is gravy those times when it occurs.
3) Good points regarding usage rights also playing a a role. If one were to accept the argument that encryption of the binary is allowable under the GPL, the usage restrictions would still be a problem.
4) Agreed on your comments on Apple's intention; I do not think they were up to anything villainous here. But the simple fact is that they took some software and redistributed against the (usage|modification) terms of (at least one of) its creators. You can argue that Applidium shares blame here, and I certainly would not disagree, but, ultimately Apple also distributed, so Apple must shoulder some responsibility. A company that uses and contributes to open source, and which vigorously protects its own IP against what it perceives as violations, has to do a better job of policing their own virtual store stocking mechanisms.
- I read the mailing list thread on videolan.org between Remi and other videolan folks, plus the FSF takedown notice on GNU Go in the App Store. They weren't arguing about DRM or DRM software being a modification that needs to be shared. (Isn't that an oxymoron?) It was usage rights. Apple was a sideshow between the contributor and Applidium. I still don't see any mechanism by which DRM is part of the app. It's a system level, cloud level mechanism.
- Hey, I'm not a GPL diehard. Applidium made the source code available. Any developer could have taken it and improved upon it and submitted it to the app store. They then would be bound to make that source code available and free. The only other barrier to distribution would be the 99$ developer program fee. (TANSTAAFL!) I can definitely see why many developers believe GPL software in App Stores would be fine in this scenario. The fine line was that user could not distribute the app by their own hand. Hey, if that's would the GPL owners want to do, terrific! It's their license.
- We can all agree that there's always room for improvement. That goes to all parties here. But meh. If one needs video player capable of playing multiple formats, there are alternatives. No need to freak out.
Btw, I don't think Apple did anything in bad faith here; your summary is basically accurate (minus the DRM bit). Their mistake was simply not to dot their i's and cross their t's when looking at this submission, or in fixing it immediately upon notice.. Apple's problem is that the GPL is what people call a viral license. To oversimplify, if part of a codebase is GPL'd, then, with very limited exceptions, all of the codebase has to be GPL'd when redistributed. Your project uses GPL, your project becomes GPL. This is why many businesses (mine and Apple included) typically stick to other licenses - BSD or Apache - when using open source in products they distribute. It is simpler, and much less of a hassle. Because the other issue with GPL'd code is that since each contributor has rights over their own contribution, this viral nature means that every contributor can potentially torpedo granting of exceptions.
This appears to be what happened here. A portion of VLC devs had no issue with Apple redistributing under other terms, but some (one?) did, which meant Apple had no authority to distribute that person's code, which meant they had no right to distribute VLC as a whole. This forced sharing of all code is both the genius and the royal pain in the ass of the GPL, and Apple is far from the first to get caught up in it. In the future, I suspect Apple will have to explicitly deny all GPL'd code, or find some airtight way of forcing the submitter to have sole title to all code.
Consumers don't care about these ethical/philosophical debates. VLC is a fantastic app. I'm glad I downloaded it while I had the chance.
For some reason, I cannot reply to Shrike - perhaps comments can only be nested so deep - good conversation though.
1) I said DRM was not the problem, trying to correct my typo in a subsequent post, because I could not go back and edit it. I do think modification of the binary would constitute a modification under the GPL, but, as I also said, it is not specifically outlined as such in the GPL. Lacking a specific callout, I think it would default to being a modification, but hey, those sorts of gaps is where lawyers make their living.
2) Yes, the usage rights issue is a big one, too, especially on the videolan lists. I will note that the DRM wrapper is what curbs usage rights, so it seems predictable that going after that wrapper as a modification violation would be a logical next tactic even for those who merely want no curbs on usage rights.
3) I never said you were a GPL diehard, just that free redistribution of a binary to end users does not serve the primary goal of the GPL as originally conceived by Stallman et al. They are the diehards to whom I referred - not you, nit Apilidium, and not me,
4) Agreed - no need to freak out, but Apple needs to be far more cautious in their processes when it comes to license issues, because, as this case shows, the GPL is so tricky, and the licensing rights can be so split aong many different contributors.
Yeah, it appears the commenting system only allows 4 nested comments. Discourages flamewars, but then again, the commenting system is a readability nightmare beyond 2 nested comments. The column inches appears to grow exponentially with each reply!
1&2. I know you did, but you also said the problem is with the DRM software (a derivative work or modification whose source needed to be distributed), but all that does is encrypt and lock the binary. Anyways, the open source guys fractured over GPL v3 over that sort of thing, while GPL v2 was unclear about it. I'll leave it to ravages of time to see how it all turns out.
- I know you are not saying I'm a diehard. But I'm not going to go so far as to speak for why GPL guys think the end result is not the same. I don't have their religion, so who knows why they think so (in regards to the distribution of free apps on the App Store).

As a podiatrist and foot surgeon I have recommended this shoe to thousands of patients. Most are 40+ years of age and over weight and pronators. 99% of the time my patients tell me this is the most comfortable shoe they have ever worn! Obviously as a running shoe it cannot be worn by many all day. But if your feet hurt from your other shoe by the end of the day you will be blown away at the comfort. This shoe has the perfect combination of cushioning AND support for the person who weighs more than 175 lbs. For lighter folks Brooks has many other options. I have tried to find a better shoe for the past decade and have not been successful. I have not been compensated in any way for this review. This is just flat out my favorite shoe and a HUGE key tool in my practice. Good luck.

I have somewhat unusual feet. I am a size 15 2E, and wear orthotics. To put it another way, these were the only shoes the sales people were brave enough to recommend to me for exercise.
I have owned three pairs of them now, and the story is always the same; they break, and fast. Now I accept that as a large person who exercises regularly, that I am always going to place pretty strong demands on footwear; if it lasts 3 months, that's excellent in my opinion.
So far all three pairs of The Beast have met the same fate; the thin piece of rubber on the base of the shoe is torn open within a few days of use. I end up with an annoying piece of rubber flapping around, and getting caught on things as I run around. I spend more time trying various glues to reattach the rubber then I spend actually running in these shoes.
The other issue is with orthotic support. If you have half-length orthotics don't waste your time with these shoes. They are horrendously uncomfortable unless you go out and buy a pair of full-length orthotics. Then that just creates another issue; they stretch a outward near the tow and I forever adding pits of cut up innersoul to make them comfortable again. Too much hassle and annoyance.
These are a good shoe, but have some obvious design flaws which should be corrected.

I used these mostly to go to the gym. I would say I probably put no more than 50 miles of running on them. I got them because I have flat feet and need more support because I get bad shin splints. I've had them about 6 months and they are falling apart badly on the toes. The glue is coming off the seams and the rubber is halfway off. They didn't even warranty them. No more Brooks for me.

I have bought three pairs of the Beast because I am A 330 pound O-lineman and need a shoe I can run and train hard with. I have to agree with the posts regarding the sole coming apart. All 3 of my Beasts have lost tread as I break them in and the flapping and catching as you walk or jog is very frustrating. I really wish they were more durable but realize someone my size and as active as I am will destroy shoes. Hoping the 4th pair is the charm.

Long before I moved to New Mexico I had been told stories by my grandfather and grandmother of the great cliff dwellings and Native American ruins that they found during their travels here in the late 1930's and early 1940's. I just couldn't imagine what these "houses" must have been like. I found pictures in National Geographic and read books in the library and eventually, as technology advanced, sought information on the internet.
Bandelier, Chaco Canyon, Aztec, Salmon Ruins and Gila are all part of our early Native American Culture along the Trail of the Ancients.
So, you can imagine how thrilled I was when we sat down in a Travel Guide New Mexico television production meeting and the topic of the "Trail of the Ancients" came up. It was interesting to learn that, perhaps, many of the cliff dwellers came from the same Native American tribes and how they split and moved in different directions.
I knew this was a trip of a lifetime and I wasn't disappointed.
I have visited Bandelier near Los Alamos many times when relatives and friends visit and I always look forward to going back. To me it is a very magical place in a magical location. Often times we spot deer drinking and relaxing along the stream where early inhabitants drew their daily water supply and irrigated their fields. If you're up for a hike you can climb out of the canyon and peer down on the ruins or head south to take in the two waterfalls that feed into the Rio Grande.
However, I had no idea that Puye Cliffs on the Santa Clara reservation was just a few miles from Bandelier near Espanola. And I had paid only a brief visit to Aztec and Chaco Canyon and couldn't wait to get to the Gila Cliff Dwellings near Silver City.
At Puye Cliffs, Lucretia Williams met us in her Santa Clara native garb and gave us a first hand tour of this wonderful place. In many cliff dwelling communities we see a main "village" under the cliff dwellings. At Puye Cliffs the "village" is on a mesa above the cliff dwellings … something I was unaware of until Lucretia drove us (you can climb but dusk was approaching) to the top of the mesa for a spectacular view of the surrounding area. Now this is a place where I could have lived! You have to take a guided tour here and don't be hesitant to do so. Your family will learn a great deal about the early inhabitants and the Santa Clara people today.
Chaco Canyon is one of those places that you scratch your head and ask why people came here in the first place? Many theories abound with trade from Mexico and California not to mention trade routes from the north and east as well. From the air we were told you can still see the outline of these routes. What we don't understand is why Chaco was chosen. Wood beams were cut and hauled many miles to make the ceilings of the dwellings secure and the rocks used to build the structures were carried from about five miles away. Imagine doing all of that hundreds of years ago before horses and wagons entered the scene. It is just mystical. Be sure and ask the guides about the theories of Mayan and Aztec influence in the region and at Chaco in particular. Especially as 2012 looms before us …
North of Chaco is the Aztec ruins located right in downtown Aztec. The most notable part of Aztec is the reconstruction of the Great Kiva, which gives you a real look at the kiva as a meeting place and this is one HUGE kiva! I was blown away by its size and can only imagine what actually took place here. One incredible place for a family reunion!
Right next door to Aztec is the Salmon Ruins named after the family that homesteaded the area surrounding the ruins and kept them in pristine shape. Interestingly enough these ruins were not pillaged by those searching for pottery and other ancient artifacts.
It was well into the 1970's before the ruins (just outside of Bloomfield) were excavated and research is still ongoing there today. The Salmon brother's home is still intact and if you peer into the windows you can see dishes still in the kitchen. Other buildings of the Salmon family are right next to the ruins.
Take time to talk with the volunteers and staff members inside the visitor's center. They'll be happy to show you around and explain what they have found there. Larry Baker, the superintendent, has been there since the first excavations and has many great stories to tell about the ruins and the people believed to live there. He'll talk your ear off with wonderful information and will make you yearn for more! Larry is an all around great guy with a true passion for what he does. Someone who has undertaken his job as a true labor of love.
The Gila Cliff Dwellings require about a 90 minute to two hour drive through the Gila National Forest from Silver City and it is well worth every mile you drive. The views of the forest are nothing short of eye popping. The hike to the cliff dwellings is about a half mile along a narrow and unpaved trail. I wondered about this before we started and then quickly began to understand that this walk is one the Ancients made daily and hiking without the benefit of concrete or asphalt gave me a real feeling of peace and serenity along the small stream lined on both sides by massive rock formations.
When you first see the dwellings you might feel a little disappointed. Why? Well, you can see the face of the dwellings but the magic here is the 100 plus foot climb up to the dwellings and then your first look of what lies behind the stone face. There is a whole city built back into these giant caves with hundreds of rooms with a view! I was taken back by what we experienced. And the great part is that you can climb into the cave to experience much of what life might have been like hundreds of years ago. I'm adding this to my list of places to take family and friends when they come to visit.
Gila is a full day trip. Two hours in … two hours out … and a few hours of just looking around. You can camp there and might want to consider doing so. We talked with a few campers who said they had never seen stars at night like they saw at Gila. I can only imagine. Oh … there are other isolated cliff dwellings you can see and enter along the hiking routes outside of the main cliff dwelling area and near the camp grounds. Great places for the little ones … and old ones … in your family to explore!
Staying in Silver City as part of your visit is well worth the time. Billy the Kid … museums and a growing art community make this a great place to "camp" while exploring. Fort Bayard is an 1850's army post which was home to the famed African American Buffalo Soldiers and a national cemetery with graves dating back into the 1800's. This national treasure is still today a place where our soldiers are laid to rest. I must ad that several of our Buffalo Soldiers who were stationed here were honored with the nation's highest award for valor … the Medal of Honor.
There is much more to see in Silver City … Pinas Altos and early gold mining town and home, for a short time, to the famed Judge Roy Bean. Stop in at the "PAPO" … that would be the Pinas Altos Post Office and Ice Cream parlor as the locals call it, for one of the biggest and most delicious banana splits that I have ever consumed! Tell them that Richard sent you.
And remember … the Trail of the Ancients is your trail to another great family adventure in the Land of Enchantment!

An ultrasound uses sound waves to create images of structures in the body. A Doppler ultrasound is a special type of ultrasound that can show blood flow in the vessels.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
An ultrasound is used to show details of structures in the abdomen. It can show features like the size and movement of organs, cysts or growths, or fluid collections. An ultrasound of the abdomen is most often done to:
In most cases, there are no complications with this test.
A physical exam may be done. Your bodily fluids may also be tested. This can be done with blood or urine tests.
In some cases, your doctor may instruct you to:
You will lie on a table. A gel will be placed over the area that will be checked. The gel helps the sound waves travel from a wand to your body.
The ultrasound machine has a hand-held wand. The wand is pushed against your skin where the gel has been applied. The wand sends sound waves into your body. The waves bounce off your internal organs and echo back to the wand. The computer can convert echoes into images on a screen. The images on the screen are examined by your doctor. A photograph of them may be taken.
You may be asked to change positions or hold your breath during the exam.
The gel will be cleaned off your abdomen. You will be able to leave after the test is done. You will be able to return to your normal activities.
30 minutes
No. But, if you have a full bladder during the test, you may feel uncomfortable.
The images are looked at by doctors. A report will be given to your doctor. Based on the results, you and your doctor will talk about more tests and treatment options.
After the test, call your doctor if the symptoms you had before the test become worse.
In case of an emergency, call for emergency medical services right away.

I don't see the point... It's just a serrated knife. Spend money on cooler things.
Get the cool Italian knives. The rake angle would be perfect.
If you buy low quality knifes, especially serrated, you are throwing money away. Non-serrated knifes can be sharpened by a skilled monkey, but forget trying to hone crap serrated.

text: I met the ocean for the first time in August of last year when I moved down to the eastern shore of VA. I did not know my a#% from a hole in the sand but the ocean had a unique appeal. Knowing I was out of my element and some common surf culture stereotypes/stigmas, I took a humble and observant approach. I stayed away from other people knowing I had very little control in the water the 1st few times. Eventually the beach regulars started to help me out; some gave me used equipment others spent time coaching and surfing with me. I learned so much about the ocean and I got the bug! I still suck but I always learn and improve every time I go out. Anyway, I enjoy the forum even when the lack of waves creates a level of discourse similar to the social patterns of deranged hyenas on crystal meth. Anyway, I am moving to NH about an hour from the coast. I cannot find too much info on this region and would like some help. I know specifics are tough but as specific as you are willing to get would be great! General differences, culture, spots/breaks and equipment would be a start but I defer to those who know more so whatever you feel is important would be great!

I've been to a number of benchmarking sessions recently with other audit executives — both in the travel industry and from other large public companies. I always get a lot out of these sessions. A different perspective, a different approach, and general discussions about emerging risk really help me to bring new ideas and different thoughts to my team for consideration. Although our workdays are busy, I try to encourage my management team to attend these sessions as well.

Experience Shared
California BMW (now CalMoto Mountain View) was founded in 1981 by a group of enthusiast BMW riders. Kari and Gail Prager were part of that original team. Their vision was to create a dealership dedicated to a love for motorcycles and a desire for excellence. California BMW helped to establish the Bay Area as one of BMW's strongest markets nationwide and is widely recognized as a top BMW dealer in the USA. By 1995, Kari and Gail were sole owners of the enterprise and added the Triumph brand. California Triumph became one of the first franchised Triumph dealers in the USA and has been one of Triumph's top American dealers ever since achieving Triumph Premier Group Platinum status in 2006. In 2008 we were fortunate to be able to add the Vespa Scooter line to our dealership.
Mike Meissner joined the team at CalMoto in 2000 bringing with him a love for motorcycling and a broad dealership management background to the business. Everything we do is about sharing our experience, love and passion for the sport of motorcycling. We call this "Experience Shared" and it has become our shop motto.Kari, Gail and Mike all worked together to grow and expand the business, eventually adding a sister store in Livermore, Tri-Valley Moto (now CalMoto Livermore) in August 2008. The addition of CalMoto Livermore has made us the largest BMW and Triumph dealership group in California. Anya Meissner joined the team in 2008 and now brings considerable accounting background to the business as its Controller.
In November 2010, our Founder, Kari Prager, passed away unexpectedly. His loss was felt not just in our company but across the industry.
Mike and Anya Meissner have since purchased the dealerships from Gail and she continues to work in the dealerships and is an active part of the business.
Together, we have created a shop that encourages your enjoyment of the sport and believes that educating the rider about the technology and traditions of motorcycling is part of the pleasure of ownership. All of us at CalMoto are ready to share with you the enjoyment of riding, and, as enthusiasts, encourage your growth in motorcycling as a sport. Collectively, our staff has ridden hundreds of thousands of miles, and our service department has well over 100 years of professional mechanical experience. We are all motorcycle riders and together have over one hundred years of riding experience and more than sixty years of dealership operations expertise. We strive to share our enthusiasm for motorcycling with our customers and we pride ourselves in offering a professional and friendly experience. We take part in all types of riding, from touring to street sport, track riding, off road adventuring, or just Skyline cruising.
CalMoto is a full service dealership offering Parts, Sales and Service. We feature a massive parts and accessories inventory to meet all of your two wheel needs and we can draw on the inventory of both of our stores through our linked computer systems. This relationship offers our customers access to the largest selections of parts and accessories in the Bay Area.
Our friendly and knowledgeable team is ready to help you get optimal enjoyment out of the sport regardless of your level of experience. Come visit us soon and we look forward to meeting you!

BKM120 is an investigational drug that blocks a molecule called PI3 kinase, which appears to function abnormally in many cancers. Olaparib kills cancer cells by blocking the PARP protein, thereby preventing the repair of DNA or genetic damage in cancer cells and possibly making them more vulnerable to anticancer treatments. Prior research has shown that both of these drugs may have activity against high-grade ovarian cancer.
The purpose of this study is to find the optimal doses for giving both BKM120 and olaparib in combination in women with high-grade serous cancer of the ovaries, fallopian tubes, or peritoneum (abdominal cavity) that has recurred despite standard therapy.
Both BKM120 and olaparib are taken orally (by mouth).
To be eligible for this study, patients must meet several criteria, including but not limited to the following:
For more information and to inquire about eligibility for this study, please contact Dr. Katherine M. Bell-McGuinn at 646-888-4221.

A person with binge eating disorder often eats an unusually large amount of food and feels that eating is out of control. Binge eating disorder often occurs with bulimia nervosa, another eating disorder that may also involve purging.
In other cases, binging can happen without other eating disorders. For example, the person may feel upset about binging, but may not try to undo these feelings by vomiting, exercising, or taking laxatives.
It is not clear exactly what causes binge eating disorder. Since about half of people with binge eating disorder have a history of depression, it may be related to that condition. Studies also suggest that people with binge eating disorder may have other emotional problems, including low self-esteem, anger, and/or obsessive compulsive behavior.
Risk Factors
Binge eating disorder is more common in women. Factors that may increase your risk of developing a binge eating disorder include:
- Obesity
- Becoming overweight at a young age
- Yo-yo dieting
- History of depression, low self-esteem, and/or substance abuse
- History of sexual abuse
- Excess concern with body shape
Symptoms of binge eating disorder include:
- Eating quickly
- Eating until you are uncomfortably full
- Eating large amounts when you are not hungry
- Eating alone due to embarrassment
- Feeling disgusted, depressed, or guilty after eating
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. You may be referred to a mental health professional or eating disorder specialist. Binge eating is diagnosed when there are an average of at least two binge-eating episodes a week for six months, along with a lack of control over eating behavior.
Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Treatment options include:
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy
In cognitive-behavioral therapy , a mental health professional will teach you how to keep track of your eating and change your unhealthy eating habits. This may involve learning how to respond to tough situations and how to feel better about your body shape and weight.
Physical Therapy
Physical therapy may help to reduce depression associated with binge eating disorder. Therapy options may include yoga or aerobic exercise.
Interpersonal Psychotherapy
In interpersonal psychotherapy, a counselor will help you look at your personal relationships and make changes in areas that are negatively affecting your life.
Certain antidepressant medications may be helpful for some people with binge eating disorder.

Purchasing the Right Camera and Camcorder Equipment
Professional photographers as well as amateur photographers should consider accessorizing their cameras and camcorder. There are a variety of camera accessories and camcorder accessories available.
When looking for camera equipment and camcorder equipment some of the basics you should consider buying include:
- Bags – This is one of the most important camcorder and camera accessories you can buy. A bag can protect the expensive cameras and camcorder equipment from getting damaged and make it easier to carry the equipment. When looking for bags, ensure that the bag can hold the model, and has extra space to hold memory cards, tapes, disks, lenses, and more.
- Memory – Ensure you get extra memory for your camcorder and cameras. Try and consider buying memory with a high capacity so that you can store more pictures and videos.
- Tripod – If you want pictures and videos from your camcorder to have consistent framing, then consider using a tripod. A tripod can not only give your camcorder solid support to eliminate shaking, but can also make it easy to get better results in low quality light.
Some of the other types of accessories you can consider also include lenses, lens hoods, add-on flash, and more. Find the right camera and camcorder accessory you need right here with Sam's Club.

Nitya means eternal and anand means bliss - eternal bliss.
And this is going to be your constant remembrance.to just feel as if you are eternal. In the beginning it is "as if." By and by you become more and more aware that this is a truth. In the beginning you start with a hypothesis - as if - but soon glimpses start coming. So always remember that you are not the momentary but the eternal.not the changing but the unchanging.
If you see a flower, then in that flower there are two constituents: one, which is constantly changing - the body part, the form - and then hidden behind the form is the formless which is unchanging. Flowers come and go, the beauty, remains. Sometimes it is manifested in a form, sometimes it dissolves back into the formless. Again there will be flowers and the beauty will assert itself.then they will drop and the beauty will move into the unmanifest.
And the same is happening with human beings, with birds, animals, everything. We have two dimensions: the day part when we become manifested, and the night part when we become unmanifested - but we are eternal. We have been always, and we will be always. Being is beyond time and beyond change.
In the beginning just remember it is as if, then you will start feeling the reality of it.
I want to change.
That's very simple - if you want to. If you don't want to change then it is almost impossible, because change is not possible from the outside. Indications can be given, guidance can be given, but your cooperation will be needed.
This is my feeling: people think they want to change but they have not really thought about it, have not meditated upon it. If you really want to change then who is hindering you? There is no obstacle. But deep down we want to change and yet don't want to; the mind is in a very confused state. We want to change if there is no risk, and that's impossible. That condition - that there is no risk - makes it impossible to change, because everything has to be at stake, then only is change possible.
Change cannot be partial. Either it is or it is not - it can only be total. So the decision is between to be or not to be. It is a jump, not a gradual process. If you are really fed up with the life that you have lived, if you are really fed up with your old patterns that you have been repeating constantly, then there is no trouble.

Read Review details ►Mont Blanc Presence This scent is elegant, sophisticated and modern. I don't use it for casual wear, although it is often described as casual by others. It is too elegant. However, it wears beautifully for day and evening. I love it and every male friend who gives me a hug always tells me, "You smell good!"

Blackcaps Corner
Blackcaps are getting ready to face Scaly Piscine CC in just about 8 hrs time. Interestingly this match will be the inaugural match for the CW FTP Championship II. The players from both the camps are looking confident to start of winning note. Blackcaps, who are out of form at the moment are working hard in the nets to face the tight encounter against Scaly Piscine CC.
Blackcaps coach "Raghav" feels the team are doing well in the nets. He adds "Well, we played well last season. If you want me to repeat I would say, We played well beyond our potential . It would be a difficult season for us as most of the players are out of touch at the moment. We enter this competition again as a Dark Horse as was like in the 1st Championship. We need to heavily rely on players like Nye, Brown & Walkey. They need to lead the side with their experience. We expect this season to go well and wish we protect our Div 1 position."
Player to Watch for Blackcaps: Christopher Walkey
