Hah! This is excellent. I feel more drawn towards the official OS 4.1 rather than AROS though, even though I have tried it out in the past.
Phoronix: AROS (The Free AmigaOS) Gets With Gallium3D
A $600 bounty came around a while back within the AROS (AROS Research Operating System) community to port Gallium3D and the Nouveau driver to this operating system that is a free software implementation of the AmigaOS 3.1 APIs. This bounty was successful in getting an OpenGL subsystem running on this free AmigaOS alternative via Mesa and Gallium3D and now a 2D architecture is also being implemented atop Gallium3D -- it sounds familiar to how the X.Org developers are implementing the Xorg state tracker to accelerate EXA and X-Video...
Hah! This is excellent. I feel more drawn towards the official OS 4.1 rather than AROS though, even though I have tried it out in the past.
Any news about Gallium3D for C64 and Amstrad?
I have been using AmigaOS since I was 9 years old... until 2003, started with A600, then A1200, later even with PowerPC-Extensions and even Pegasos1+Pegasos2. Then I discovered Linux Debian. That was the time I have started using Linux more and more in favor of Amiga/MorphOS(Amiga-compatible PowerPC-OS)somewhere around 2007 I have jumped onto the AMD64 train and haven't left it again.
Though I am still interested a little in what might come. Honestly, the only AmigaNG-project I think has a future is AROS.
Mostly because it is opensource, so it runs on x86.
The other projects need custom hardware, which is rare, or expensive.
Anyway, I hope AROS will develop as it does. Really nice too see Gallium for it. Would be nice if someone could add the same support for Radeon cards too
Wow... Gallium is so awesome that it spreads everywhere it can!
Linux, VMCrap, *BSB (can't remember... KMS for FreeBSD?), HaikuOS, HURD (take your jokes someplace else) and now some OS I never even heared about...
It is as if like the more Gallium is used, no matter where, the better it gets!
It's probably worth mentioning for the benefit of those who have followed Amiga's progress in the past but lost track over recent years that Hyperion Entertainment won their legal battle against Amiga Inc and gained full rights to OS4. Since then, it has struck a deal with A-EON to launch a new machine called the X1000, due out this year.
I can see why some people prefer the AROS camp though, mcgreg is probably right in saying that it is most likely to have a future. The AmigaOS camp is arguably in the best position it's been in for 15 years though so you never know.
I still have my A1200 with 128MB RAM running OS3.9 but I rarely find the time to tinker with it.
Many people used Amiga computers years ago but they forget it too quick.
Those days Amiga was a really good piece of hardware and... operating system is still in development. But I'm more keen to MorphOS. My PowerBook is waiting for it
AmigaOS ain't bad, Aros is getting better but the most advanced is MorphOS. Some guys with similar configuration to yours tried MOS and they stayed with it forgetting AOS3.9
I have been a MorphOS User too , even already on PowerPC-extended Amiga1200. I was fan of it a long time. But honestly, things developed too slowly IMHO. At first it did, later it seemed like the project was dead.
Well, MorphOS was for me like a NG-AmigaOS- I hoped back then there might be a nice future for it, with good hardware, many developers, good and maybe even MorphOS-only software.
Now I think it's only a hobby-OS...it's fun to play with it, but to be honest, that's all you can do with it.
I would be nice too see MorphOS be OSS (and then ported to x86/amd64)
I've never used MorphOS but I also got the impression that what little life it had was starting to dwindle, especially after that scandal with the programmers. Unfortunate.
My poor old A1200 doesn't have a PPC accelerator, just a 68030. I actually left the Amiga scene in 1995 and didn't return until 2005. I was stunned by how much had happened during what had seemed from the outside to be quite a quiet time for the platform. Back in the day, I only had a beefed up A500+ but I bought the A1200 in 2005 for a bit of nostalgia. I even tried running Gentoo on it with some degree of success but then remembered that I had better things to do.
I am torn by the fact that as much as I'd love to use AmigaOS in some form or other, I couldn't see myself leaving Linux behind. There's always dual booting but in practice, you usually can't be bothered to reboot just for the sake of it and end up sticking with one.

Roger Brown's On Baseball: Advice pays off
His father's advice has helped Van Kirk post some impressive numbers in June. Entering Tuesday night's matchup with Reading, Van Kirk was hitting .333 (19 for 57) with 12 RBIs, 16 walks and seven strikeouts in 17 games this month. He had a home run and a triple in Monday's 6-3 victory over Reading.
Van Kirk, a converted catcher, was originally drafted by the Red Sox in 2004 out of Westminster Academy in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., but didn't sign. He played at the University of Tennessee for two years, and then transferred and spent his final two college seasons at Oral Roberts University.
"I was fairly new to the outfield position when I got drafted," he said. "Obviously confidence comes with success. Confidence also comes from hard work, and applying that work to your game. I feel very confident where I'm at, but every day is a new day. One day you could be not the goat and the next day you're the goat. You have to approach each day with the same demeanor and confidence."
At 27 Van Kirk is older than most of his teammates, but he said he has a positive attitude with regard to his future in professional baseball."If you concern yourself too much with the unknown it will eat you up," he said. "Whatever's going to happen is going to happen. I'm just grateful for the opportunity to be on the field playing.
Fisher Cats relief pitcher Randy Boone hasn't allowed a run in his last 10 appearances (18 2/3 innings). Boone, a former starter, has 15 victories with the Fisher Cats, one shy of the franchise record held by three players: Gustavo Chacin (2004), Ismael Ramirez (2005-07) and Mike MacDonald (2006-08). … New Hampshire will wrap up its three-game series with Reading tonight (7:05). Marcus Stroman is scheduled to start on the mound for the Fisher Cats. Stroman has allowed one earned run in each of his last four starts (21 innings). … The Fisher Cats recognized all of the NHIAA state champions from the 2012-13 school year (all sports) prior to Tuesday's game.

Throughout the UK, pioneering communities at every scale - from individual institutions through to entire city-regions - have recognised the key role food can play in dealing with some of today's most pressing social, economic and environmental problems. From obesity and diet-related ill-health to food poverty and waste, climate change and biodiversity loss to declining prosperity and social dislocation, food is not only at the heart of some of our greatest problems, but also a vital part of the solution.
The Sustainable Food Cities Network is a partnership project, led by the Soil Association, with Food Matters and Sustain, that brings together public, private and third sector organisations that believe in the power of food as a vehicle for driving positive change and that are committed to promoting sustainable food for the benefit of people and the planet. The Network aims to help people and places to share challenges, explore practical solutions and develop best practice in all aspects of sustainable food.
And it is not just for cities. Any community can get involved - from a village or town to a district, county or region.
To find out more about the project, to find out what activity is going on in your local area, and to join the network, please see the project's dedicated website : www.sustainablefoodcities.org.For more information on the Sustainable Food Cities Network, please contact Tom Andrews at the Soil Association on email@example.com or 0117 314 5165.
In addition to the overall Sustainable Food Cities project, the Soil Association is also involved in a partnership project working in Plymouth and France. DEAL is a French acronym meaning Economic Development through Local Food. It is a two year Interreg Programme involving French and English Partners across the Channel, to study and develop local food systems, whilst sharing our learning experiences. Find out more about the project here.
It is vital that we develop new partnerships and approaches to tackle the burgeoning epidemic of diet-related ill-health and the damaging economic and environmental impacts of the UK's current food system.
The Sustainable Food Cities Network is for anyone who believes that access to affordable healthy and sustainable food should be a fundamental right for everyone in society and is willing to work with others to make this a reality.

In the third book of the number-four New York Times best-selling Neverwinter saga, Drizzt draws his swords once more to aid his friends. His lover, Dahlia Sin'felle, can speak of nothing but the moment she will face the Netherese lord Herzgo Alegni once again. Drizzt has already followed a trail of vengeance beside Dahlia. Can he justify one more battle to settle a grudge he does not understand?
Artemis Entreri too seeks vengeance. He offers to aid Dahlia in her mission to destroy Alegni. But Charon's Claw, Alegni's sentient sword, dominates Entreri's movements - if not his mind. And then there's the way Entreri looks at Dahlia. Can Drizzt trust his old foe?
©2012 Wizards of the Coast, LLC (P)2013 Audible, Inc.
If you always have a book with you...
"It just keeps getting better!"
Wow...R.A. Salvatore does it again! All of his books are so consistently great! And, it is so awesome to have Entreri back in the game adventuring with our favorite hero Drizzt. A real blast from the past and such a fun character. If you have read the other two, read this one! I truly enjoyed this book and look forward to the next one in the series.
"Book of the year"
Nothing it was a great book in a great series or books.
none it stands miles above the rest
His great storey telling that keeps you wanting more
"Not great, but good"
I'm getting really tired of Salvatore beating the reader over and over with Drizzt's feelings. He repeats himself and says the same thing multiple ways like the concept he's conveying is complex, its not, we get it, move on. This book was full of his feelings of jealousy and conflict. I found myself repeatedly yelling in my car to get on with it. The overall story was good though and I'll keep on going with the series. Maybe I'll read them though so i can skip over the introspection.
Dark Shadows fanatic
"A meandering tale"
Not Salvatore's best work but a decent read. To me, it seems he is spending way too much time developing back story for more books. He needs to focus on the one he's writing rather than the ones he is planning.
loved it. love all the books in this series. barabus the grey is my favorite character
"just wish the next book was listed at the end!"
Good books! just frustrated at audible and reader for not making it obvious which book is next.
"Best of the never winter series so far."
A very good tale with a great deal of character development, intrigue and action. It felt like Salvatore returned to the snappy and engaging stories of the dark elf trilogy but with the skill and excitement of his characters lengthy history. The entreri, drizzt and dahlia triangle was a great ensemble while alegni and charon's clae have become memorable villains. victor's readings were well done though a few basic words like 'bade' and 'lived' were poorly pronounced.
"Love it"
Amazing amazing amazing
The whole thing
Drizzt is the man
Love it
Thank you ra and audible
i would recommend reading it yourself. a decent book (though definitely not salvatore's best) if you can ignore the different format than all his other Drizzt books (a lot of jumping around, bunny trails that get forgotten about, a denoumont that seems to last forever), but the series does at least have an ending, and there are many good parts. i feel the need to campaign against every audio book that is read by Victor Bevine, though. every book of his has me gritting my teeth, rolling my eyes, & taking deep breaths to calm my agitation. this idiot not only mispronounces a few common words (that are frequently used), but his voices for almost all the the numerous characters is the same talentless ridiculous attempt: the stereotypical big dumb henchman. yeah, that doesn't work for most of the characters... at all. sometimes he really pours it on, and i literally have to stop whatever it is i am doing to either laugh out loud or clench my fists in irritation. and what he really does the worst is try to sound out laughter. "bwahahaha" is NOT, I REPEAT NOT MEANT TO BE PRONOUNCED LIKE AN EXOTIC FIRST NAME. AND "bah" is NOT MEANT TO BE USED LIKE THE TITLE "mom". how wonderful it is, then, that Salvatore uses those two iterations CONSTANTLY THROUGHOUT THE LAST 7 BOOKS!!! AND WE HAVE TO SUFFER THROUGH THIS IMBECILE HACK as he murders almost every bit of character dialogue in the entire series!!! WHO KEEPS HIRING THIS GUY?!?!?! STOP!!! listen to some of his work, first. he DOES have a great speaking voice, when he is just reading the action, so he would make a great narrator for a romance novel, perhaps, but not for anything fantasy or sci-fi, or anything that has unusual or boisterous character work.
"Immense listener remorse."
The narrator for this audio series is bland. It sets my teeth on edge to listen to him attempt voices and try to sound natural. It sounds very much as though he doesn't care for what he is reading and is uncomfortable with the amount of weird, nerdy words he has to pronounce.
I will not be downloading any books that this narrator has done ever again.
There are no listener reviews for this title yet.

Is this a brilliant idea?

Is this a brilliant idea?Most impressed with Bike Hub in Seventeen Mile Rocks Rd at Jindalee. Almost every tool known to cyclists is there for me to use to work on my own bike. Free courses are being run, and I had my own workbench, all tools, good coffee (the real stuff) and advice was provided when I wanted to know what "40nm" meant.
Also saw some helmets at good prices. Try $60 for a real smart looking helmet, with a built in tail light.
Re: Is this a brilliant idea?Is that the same place as this?
http://www.cycleskills.com.au/ I am super keen to head there and assemble my Wilier once i've bought all the parts for it. Great concept and excellent way to keep business.
Re: Is this a brilliant idea?What a postively brilliant business model.
It would not be at all strange if history came to the conclusion that the perfection of the bicycle was the greatest achievement of the nineteenth century.
Re: Is this a brilliant idea?Sounds promising. I like their attitude : [internet shopping] is not going away so why not use it to our advantage.
An LBS after today's needs...eg use our computer to buy goods overseas and have it delivered and installed here etc I like the idea of renting benchspace. Very good idea. Big +1 Amateur oenologist and green-friendly commuter.
Re: Is this a brilliant idea?good concept. definitely check it out.
Re: Is this a brilliant idea?can someone confirm the address/contact number of this place for me please
Re: Is this a brilliant idea?I think you mean 40 Nm. I was a bit confused too for a minute, there's no way you need to measure anything on a bicycle in nano metres.
Re: Is this a brilliant idea?
Nor nautical miles either, unless you're talking about a ride of course but I prefer to measure them in attoparsecs. Last edited by notwal on Thu Oct 06, 2011 2:19 pm, edited 1 time in total.

Re: Is this a brilliant idea?Old thread, I know. Have just come back from having a full bikefit done. Was very thorough and explained to me the whole way through. They offer a lot of classes which I'll be investigating. I bought new brakes and they fit anything you buy there for free.

Love the concept and practicality ...doing most of my maintenance on the bike myself but still needs to get the gear adjustment touch. Great bunch ofeople down there and good t hear about the fit as I am planning to get an updated yearly one and will see them for that.
Re: Is this a brilliant idea?
yeh - the wheel truing one sounds like a good idea do the course then true your own wheels for $15 for 1 hour bench time (i think they were the costs) less than half the price i pay to get my wheels trued

I have seen patterns of flood and drain holes online for the Revell 72nd scale Gato model. But I haven't found much on the 72 scale u-boats, the VIIc and Atlantic version. With the IX coming out soon I know many people will either build it straight, super-detailed or RC. Either way to build the boat accurate we need flood and drain hole patterns.
Are they out there? Have I been looking in the wrong places?

Trip-protection insurance is popular with airline passengers who worry that a change in plans could mean forfeiture of airfare, prepaid accommodations and other upfront travel costs. Many air charter customers could benefit even more from such coverage, due to the amount of money at stake. Charter operators typically assess cancellation penalties that escalate as departure times approach.

David Letterman Gossip
David Letterman gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Joaquin Phoenix is NOT ENGAGED
AKM-GSI/ Splash
Not engaged. NOT engaged. I just want to make that clear because most headlines you've read this morning will probably say that he IS engaged. But he's NOT engaged. It was a prank. Because this is what happens when Joaquin Phoenix appears on David Letterman. He either pretends he's retiring and f-cked up and on the verge of a breakdown or he tells a story about falling in love with his yoga instructor. Full Story
Dear Gossips,
"I won't be doing the new show in character, so we'll all get to find out how much of him was me. I'm looking forward to it." – What Stephen Colbert told The New York Times about succeeding David Letterman on Late Night. Apparently there were a lot of people who called for the job the day Letterman announced he was retiring. Colbert was one of them. And when CBS was interested too, he insisted that they clear it with Dave so that he could get Letterman's blessing. Letterman obliged. At least that's the story they're giving the public.
SO curious what Colbert looks like without the "character". That was probably the most common question yesterday, right? Who IS Stephen Colbert? And can the real Stephen Colbert handle the standard operating procedures that come with network television? He's pretty selective about the guest content on The Colbert Report. Read Full Intro
Colbert is the new Letterman
Man, that happened FAST. Kind of makes you think some wheels were already turning, and when, in the wake of David Letterman announcing his retirement the entire nation yelled as one, IT SHOULD BE COLBERT, they cemented a deal that was already in the works. Full Story
Good night, Dave
Yesterday during the taping of his show, David Letterman stunned his audience by announcing his retirement. He's been on late night television for thirty-two years, the last twenty-one of which have been behind the desk at The Late Show with David Letterman. He broke Johnny Carson's record in 2013 to become the longest-running late night host, and he stuck around long enough to outlast his rival, Jay Leno, which I'm sure is not coincidental. Full Story
Flowers for Julia

How do you follow up Beyonce and Olivia Pope? Everyone else today has to measure up. God I hope Angelina Jolie makes an appearance. But Julia Roberts works too. Julia was on Letterman yesterday before attending the premiere of August: Osage County. Beyonce? Sorry. Right now Beyonce is everything. Full Story
Points for just showing up
WENN, JB Nicholas /Splash
Lindsay Lohan was on Letterman last night. You may have already heard about their "awkward" exchange when he pressed her on her rehab and when she's going and her addictions, etc, but when you watch it back, you'll see it wasn't awkward. It was banter. She actually sasses him. Full Story
Shia LaBeouf's man fixation
FameFlynet, Splash
As I mentioned last week, I am loving Shia LaBeouf right now. I love him so much. Because he has been nothing but entertaining. Crazy, but entertaining. Shia was supposed to be on Broadway in Orphans. But he and Alec Baldwin couldn't stop yelling at each other. Full Story
Tom Cruise the conversationalist
God that was painful. Just sat through Letterman's interview with Tom Cruise last night. It was 3 segments which...if you're familiar with Dave, you know, normally, only the veteran chatters, the good ones, they get 3 segments. Like Tom Hanks. Or Julia Roberts. George Clooney, Sandra Bullock, the ones who can play, and roll, and wit. Full Story
Amy Poehler's party
Wenn, Michael Loccisano/Larry Busacca/Getty
I know it was officially the Time 100 party last night but scanning through all the pictures it really looked like it was Amy Poehler's party. I want to go to an Amy Poehler party. Remember at the Emmys when all the comedy ladies took the stage like a pageant and held each other until a winner was crowned? You know that was all Poehler, right? Poehler is what Ashley Judd was trying to write Full Story
He's a Loud Talker
Two former Oscar hosts decided to be smug together on television last night as James Franco appeared on Letterman to promote Your Highness for his first interview since sucking at the Oscars in February. And how does he sum up his disappointing performance? Well, he said he tried his best, he said Anne Hathaway was too hyper, and that we're all hypocrites for hating on his hosting duties after saying the Oscars are irrelevant. Full Story
Hard for Portman
Did you watch Natalie Portman on Letterman last night? I actually wasn't intending to watch it, but I saw pap photos of Jay Pharoah arriving at the studio and I set the PVR to make sure to catch him, and then when Jacek and I turned it on later, there she was as the first guest, and that kicked off 15 minutes of co-jerking between him and Dave, the two of them sharing hard-ons through the television. Full Story
Eat Pray Letterman
Julia Roberts is in New York today, photographed here arriving at Letterman for her appearance tonight, the first time she's visited him since his infidelity scandal. As you know, Julia is a Letterman favourite. Their chemistry is always, always amazing. One of the few 3 segments guests on his show. Full Story
Letterman hates Stewart
But she has great new hair. LOVE the new hair. And all the ways she was wearing the new hair. Punches up the layers, makes her eyes look different. Very, very beautiful. Kristen Stewart was in New York last night to promote Twilight Eclipse on Letterman and then for the NYC premiere. Two similar dresses. Full Story
Salma on her ranch and her snakes
It was the most wonderfully awkward interview. Dave does that thing he's so good at doing – he mocks her but also adores her, and he doesn't understand her, but he really isn't trying either, and as a result, her amazingness was allowed to flourish for us all. This is good tv. Full Story

Good thing to see some wayland. Since they plan to have extra long LTS releases from now on (right?) there might happen a thing or two with wayland that will be interesting to have in that release.
Phoronix: Mesa 7.12, Linux 3.2 Likely For Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
Yesterday at the Ubuntu Developer Summit in Orlando, Canonical employees and others tried to hash out the general requirements for the X.Org stack to be found in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS...
Good thing to see some wayland. Since they plan to have extra long LTS releases from now on (right?) there might happen a thing or two with wayland that will be interesting to have in that release.
Nice progress!
And this bit is of very large significant of how drivers should be made:
This is why graphics drivers should be written to be able to work with multiple versions of X.There's still some items to be figured out with this new LTS management, such as how to let the user upgrade their X/Mesa stack in Ubuntu 12.04 but might not want to move to a newer kernel, or restrict all drivers from being upgraded if they are concerned about regressions, etc. This will hopefully be figured out in other UDS-P Orlando sessions this week.
A no brainer really and strange some people in the community don't get/realize that.
I agree that no brain has been utilized in the production of your statement.
Nobody denies that LTS distros have a certain desire for driver releases that are still compatible with XFree86 1.0, but creating those would come at a cost, both in additional work, in slower technical advancement and in additional technical limitations which all rolling distributions would have to suffer. The whole debate is very complex, and trying to boil it down to a single statement is plain stupid.
So they'll be rolling new X/Mesa/Kernel into the LTS. I wonder what's the point in doing a fixed release when this is a partial proof that rolling release could be done safely and with stability. I guess what is holding them back is the problem in upgrading the tool chain and that handling big change (like Unity) deployment would be a PITA. I do think however that could be solved by evolving the APT system. There's already meta package, but it only relies on dumb dependencies and conflit management. We need to figure out a more solid way to handle big blocks (like toolchains) change and be able to do smooth transition (and rollback in case of failure).Updates During The LTS Cycle - With Ubuntu 12.04 LTS being supported on the desktop now for five years, Canonical is more worried about enabling new hardware support after the April release. What the plan is now is to backport new kernels and the X/Mesa stack to 12.04. In the Ubuntu X world, what they are looking at doing is simply rebuilding the latest Mesa/X packages of new Ubuntu releases and drop that into the Precise repository in time for the LTS point releases. In other words, the stack of Ubuntu 12.10 would be rebuilt and dropped into the 12.04 repository, 13.04 packages would be rebuilt and pushed back into 12.04, etc.
I thought it was tourettes
British came to mind first here.
That is NOT wat I mean.
Drivers rely heavily on a few other components. e.g. the x server, DRI and a few other things.
I'm saying that making drivers that can handle a range of x server versions, DRI and the few oter things is a good way of doing things. The things that can be different from distro to distro (or different versions of the same distro).
Having some flexibility helps for doing rolling releases.

Burnett looks to step up against Dodgers
Los Angeles counters with Ryu in second game of series
Phillies right-hander A.J. Burnett learned last week he has an inguinal hernia, but he plans to pitch through it and have surgery after the season.
His first effort following that diagnosis was promising.
Burnett, who takes the mound against the Dodgers on Tuesday night in the second game of a four-game series at Dodger Stadium, allowed three hits, two walks and struck out five in seven scoreless innings Thursday against the Braves. He faces Dodgers left-hander Hyun-Jin Ryu, who is 3-1 with a 1.93 ERA this season.
"It's going to be a blessing in disguise, I think," Burnett said. "It's going to be there, but it helps me stay within myself. A couple of pitches I tried to do too much -- you could tell it wasn't right. But every time I was simple and just nice and easy, I was able to make effective pitches.
"I've pitched with worse. It's just one of those things I've got to stay on top of, and really focus on my delivery, and that was the case today. It's hit and miss. I just try not to think about it, try to block it out. At this point, I think I know what I'm doing with it. First time was a little scary, but now I know. It's different, but I think the easier and calmer I can be out here, the better I'll be."
Ryu has made five starts this season, and four have been scoreless. He allowed eight runs in two innings April 4 against the Giants, but otherwise has not allowed a run in 26 innings.
Ryu allowed two runs in seven innings in his only start against the Phillies in his career, which came last season.
Phillies: Howard's single under review
The Phillies submitted Ryan Howard's seventh-inning single on Sunday at Coors Field to Major League Baseball for review.
If it is changed to a double from a single and error on Rockies right fielder Brandon Barnes, it would give Howard the Phillies' first cycle since David Bell in 2004, and the Phillies' first cycle on the road since Johnny Callison in Pittsburgh in 1963.
"I don't see any difference with that and the one [Phillies outfielder] Ben [Revere] dove for, where a guy is trying to make a play on a ball in the grass, by the shoestrings," manager Ryne Sandberg said. "You're not guaranteed to knock a ball down when you're trying to make a catch like that, especially when he's trying to make a shoestring catch and have a play at the plate. There's a lot going on there."
Dodgers: Catchers not hitting
Catchers Tim Federowicz and Drew Butera were a combined 4-for-44 at the plate entering this series.
"We know where we're at with it," manager Don Mattingly said. "I think Fed has been a little better lately. I know he's better than this."
Mattingly reiterated his position that, with the way the club's pitching is constructed, the focal point for any catcher is receiving, calling games and controlling the opposition when on base. He said the offense should score enough runs to compensate for lack of offense from the catchers.
The injury to A.J. Ellis has tested the club's depth at the position.
"I still think we're better than what we've been doing," Mattingly said.
Federowicz started Monday night with a left wrist heavily taped after being struck twice over the weekend by the bat of Arizona's Paul Goldschmidt.
Worth Noting
• Phillies right-hander B.J. Rosenberg has faced 15 batters in his last three appearances. He has allowed eight hits (three singles, one double, one triple, three home runs), two walks and has struck out one. He has a 7.11 ERA in eight appearances.
"He hasn't pitched well. He needs to pitch better," general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. said. "He has good stuff. His location has been poor. He's getting whacked. But he has a good arm."
• The Dodgers entered this series leading the Majors with 21 stolen bases and tied for third with 63 extra-base hits.

The first Pittsburgh Mini Maker Faire was held on Sunday, October 23, and was a true wonder! Adults and kids of all ages eagerly got right into to the maker ethos – soldering LED badges, creating jewelry, operating robots, playing didgeridoos, a robotic marimba and other experimental instruments, sewing, silk screening posters, constructing tiny cardboard buildings, making abacuses and learning about 3D printing, lighting control and a host of other amazing maker projects.
We first want to thank HackPittsburgh and MAKE for partnering with the Children's Museum of Pittsburgh to make the first Pittsburgh Mini Maker Faire a reality. Thanks to the amazing makers, new and seasoned, of all ages, who made the Faire what it was. Thanks to the contributing sponsor Deeplocal for their generosity. Thanks to the wonderful volunteers, particularly the brothers of Beta Theta Pi at Carnegie Mellon University. And thanks to everyone who attended the event and made the day so memorable with your joy, curiosity and creativity.
What did you think of the Faire? Let us know via our Facebook page or Twitter. For ongoing maker-related programs at the Museum, stay tuned to www.makeshoppgh.com.

August, when the sun pours down its golden rays like so many puddles of butter.� I can't think of anything to express this better than corn.� Freshly picked.� From a backyard garden, if you're lucky enough to have one.� Bought from a farm stand or farmers' market, and raced home so it doesn't lose any of its sweet goodness.� A pot of water set to boiling before husking, so it's ready when each stalk is cleanly stripped.� Only three minutes in the pot, then buttered, salted, and enjoyed.� Bitten off the cob, typewriter-style, back and forth on the cob.� Or neatly twirled, tearing the kernels off a section at a time.
When I'm rolling in corn, or when I buy too much just before a cool day, I turn to Corn Pudding.� More like a souffle than a dessert.� It's the way our culture, hundreds of years ago, used up bread before it went stale, a few shavings of cheese, and an ear or two or corn and made it something delicious and filling.� In modern times, it serves as a great side dish, especially with fresh pork, in any form or a main course for vegetarians.� Use gluten-free bread, and there's one more group able to relish it.

Friday After Next
Cousins Craig and Day-Day are back in the old neighborhood and ready for Christmas. Although they've left behind the security of living with their parents, at least they're on their own. The rundown apartment they now share is filled with all the accoutrements and spirit of the holiday season. It's a time for giving and joy--until Craig wakes up in the middle of the night and discovers a ghetto Santa Clause stealing their presents and anything else he can stuff into his bag--including the rent money they had hidden and stuffed into their stereo speakers. Faced with the harsh reality of having a Christmas without presents--as well as having to face the unwanted advances of their landlady's recently paroled son, if they can't pay the rent--Craig and Day are forced to score some quick cash. They go to the local strip mall where their fathers Mr. Jones and Uncle Elroy have opened Bros. Bar-B-Q restaurant and help land them jobs as unarmed security guards. While Craig handles the chaos of the Christmas Eve shopping crush, Day Day's renegade rent-a-cop tactics put the put the pair's jobs and lives in jeopardy. Nonetheless, in the process, Craig and Day-Day learn some comic lessons about the true meaning of the holiday season.

I think this review was excellent , very honest and openminded enough to accept the EVF and the great set of amazing features that this camera gets.
If I am free(I mean not need to listen to my partner when I buy a camera), I 'd sell my D800 for this one or for the 5D3 in a heart beat.
But unfortunaltey , I have to listen to my partner who hates Sony and EVF, so I guess I will have to shoot Nikon or Canon for a while.
That siad , I still love A99v and I really want to buy one since I was a big fan of Sony Zeiss primes from my A900 days.
The A99v is a great camera and it is probably the best camera for portrait and event work.
The 85mmf1.4ZA is a super sharp lens and the 135mmf1.8ZA is even sharper and the 24f2ZA is the best 24mm I have ever shot, well done Sony and thanks for your great review.
Sony Alpha SLT-A99 In-Depth Review
Review based on a production SLT-A99 running firmware 1.0
The Sony SLT-A99 is the Japanese camera maker's flagship model, aimed squarely at DSLR enthusiasts who will settle for nothing less than a full frame sensor in a rugged body with a plethora of external and customizable controls. It arrives almost four years after its predecessor, the A900, the company's first full frame DSLR. You'd certainly expect significant new features given such a long gap between products and Sony has lost no opportunity to equip the A99 with every bit of electronic expertise they've incorporated into their NEX and SLT models in the interim. Whereas the A900 was a defiantly conventional SLR that would have been immediately familiar to Konica Minolta film-camera users, the A99 is something of a technological tour-de-force.
Start with a dual chip AF system, live view focus peaking, tiltable rear LCD, built-in GPS and 1080p60 movie recording plus the ability to output uncompressed video, and the contrast to the stills-only A900 couldn't be more stark aside from the A99's identical 24MP resolution. And then of course, there's the fact that with the A99 Sony has opted for an electronic, versus optical viewfinder. From a features standpoint, it's clear that Sony was out to rethink its approach to the enthusiast market and attempt to lure would-be DSLR shooters with a surfeit of technology while broadening its appeal to videographers.
Like its predecessor, the SLT-A99 enters a full frame DSLR playing field still dominated by the 'big two', so the camera's success will depend not just on its advances over the A900, but how well it competes against the Canon EOS 5D Mark III and Nikon D800. Sony may have chosen not to challenge the 36MP Nikon D800 for pixel count - somewhat of a surprise given that the D800 houses a Sony-made sensor - but has opted instead for a unique dual sensor AF system that promises more precise subject tracking along with a 6fps continuous AF burst rate.
Sony has gone to great lengths to stress the work that has gone into improving the camera's image quality. The latest 24MP sensor has been designed so that more of each photosite is light-sensitive. The electronics in front of this light sensitive region have been slimmed-down to increase the angle from which each site can receive light. These changes, combined with a design that provides a short and high-capacity path between the sensor output and the image processor, and the addition of 14-bit Raw output, should mean improved still image quality.
The rapid adoption of DSLRs by video professionals has made HD recording with manual exposure control a stock feature in even mid-range models. With the A99 though, Sony leverages its considerable video expertise by combining 1080p60 video capture with SLT-enabled phase-detection AF along with the ability to output uncompressed video over HDMI (a feature we first saw in the Nikon D800). Another well-implemented nod to the needs of run-and-gun videographers can be found in the inclusion of a 'silent controller' that allows for adjustments to made while recording without the attendant button clicks.
Sony SLT-A99 key specifications:
- 24MP full-frame CMOS Sensor with on-chip phase detection AF
- Fixed-mirror design SLT
- 2.4M dot OLED electronic viewfinder
- 14-bit Raw output
- Up to 6 frame-per-second continuous shooting with AF
- ISO-compatible flash hotshoe with 'multi interface' expansion connector
- Pull-out three-hinge tilt/swivel 1.23m dot RGBW LCD screen
- Top panel LCD
- Microphone and headphone sockets
- Built-in GPS
- AF Micro Adjust
SLT design
The A99 is based around Sony's SLT design - a variant on the DSLR concept that uses an electronic viewfinder (EVF), rather than an optical one. Instead of having a mirror that has to flip out of the way to to take a photo, it uses a fixed semi-transparent mirror that redirects light (with negligible luminance loss) to a DSLR-style phase-detection autofocus sensor. This means live view and autofocus are always active and that the A99 can offer a consistent shooting experience whether you use the flip-out screen or the EVF. It also means the conventional 19-point phase detection focus sensor is always illuminated, along with the 109-point on-sensor array. This puts the A99 in the unique position of having dual phase-detection focus systems available at all times - an unusual feature that Sony has developed several features to exploit, including 'AF-D', its depth-map assist continuous AF feature.
The decision to build a full-frame SLT camera will certainly be controversial among enthusiasts who equate a 'serious' camera with an optical, rather than electronic viewfinder. It's worth pointing out though that the A99 sports the same 2.4M dot resolution OLED 'Tru-Finder' EVF whose performance we found so impressive in our NEX-7 review. And the benefits that an EVF provides, including exposure and white balance preview, focus peaking and a customizable information overlay, all without removing the camera from an eye-level shooting position, may be enough to sway those who spends even a little time actually using it.

Blog Entry:
December 10, 2012 4:30 AM | Author: ROBERT GIALAMAS
Robert Gialamas
Robert Gialamas, FPC is president of Paytime Payroll Processing, an integrated payroll service provider located in Solon.
Now that the election is over and we are in the thick of the holiday season, we only need a snowstorm to really put us in the festive spirit. (Why do I believe that some of you are swearing at me right now?) Regardless of the holiday cheer we may have, there is a different kind of storm brewing on the horizon which all employers need to be prepared to weather. As I'm sure you are aware, it is a major tax storm. One of the earliest waves of this storm comes in the form of additional FUTA tax owed by employers in 2012.
As mentioned in my previous
Crain's blog entry
, the actual FUTA tax rate is still 6% and for states who have timely paid back the funds they borrowed from the federal unemployment fund, there is a 5.4% FUTA credit that the federal government provides to employers. This results in a net FUTA tax of 0.6% on taxable wages. FUTA is generally paid on the first $7,000.00 of wages per employee per year which equates to a maximum of $42.00 in tax per employee per year paid by the employer.
The Department of Labor has recently released the
official list of 19 states
(including the US Virgin Islands) that will experience a reduction of this FUTA credit for 2012. These states all had outstanding unemployment insurance (UI) federal loans as of November 11, 2012. Employers who pay into any of these 19 state's unemployment insurance programs will owe additional FUTA tax at the end of 2012 because their FUTA credit has been reduced. How much you ask?
The credit reduction schedule is 0.3% for the first year and an additional 0.3% for each succeeding year that your state has not repaid the federal loan. The majority of states on the list will see a 0.6% credit reduction. In other words, these sophomore-standing employers will experience a reduced credit of 4.8% for 2012 and will have to pay an extra 0.6% FUTA tax by Jan 31st 2013.
Definitely worth noting again, the credit reduction is exclusive to employers who pay state unemployment insurance (SUI) tax to any of the 19 states listed. If you do not pay state unemployment insurance tax to any of these 19 states, you should receive the full FUTA credit of 5.4% and not owe any additional FUTA tax. For those of us employers in Ohio, we are not so lucky as our FUTA credit is being reduced by 0.6% so we will owe the extra 0.6% tax in 2012 due Jan 31st 2013 and reported on the annual 940 return. Your payroll provider or accountant will be able to inform you of the additional FUTA tax you will owe after your last 2012 payroll.
For your reading pleasure, here is a synopsis of the 19 states in which employers are subject to a higher net FUTA tax for 2012, due on Jan 31st 2013 and reported on the annual 940 return. They include: AZ, AK, CA, CT, DE, FL, GA, IN, KY, MO, NV, NJ, NY, NC, OH, RI, VT, VI, WI.
• 0.3% Credit Reduction States AZ, DE, & VT. Employers in these states will pay an additional 0.3% FUTA tax at the end of 2012. These three states did not have credit reductions in 2011 and are new to the list this year.
• 0.6% Credit Reduction States are AK, CA, CT, FL, GA, KY, MO, NV, NJ, NY, NC, OH, RI, and WI. Employers in these states will pay an extra 0.6% FUTA tax at the end of 2012. This basically doubles the amount employers owe for 2012.
• 0.9% and Higher Credit Reduction States are IN (0.9% credit reduction) and VI (a whopping 1.5% credit reduction).
There were also five states that were FUTA credit reduction states for 2011but have since repaid the federal unemployment loan. They are Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, Pennsylvania and Virginia. Employers in these states will get the full 5.4% FUTA tax credit and will not owe additional FUTA in 2012.
South Carolina is also not a FUTA credit reduction state for 2012, avoiding a reduction of 0.9% because it received conditional Labor Department approval of its credit reduction avoidance application.
I know this is a lot of information but with the tax storm approaching, you need to stay informed and be aware. I truly hope this has been informative for you and regardless of whether we get snow or have no snow in the coming weeks, I wish you a warm, festive and wonderful holiday season!

Well, LogicalApex said he was going to boot into W8 install later, which I assume he means a PC - so that's why I said that. But, yes, you're right. No Zune software on Surface RT.There is if you own a Surface like the OP does... Windows RT doesn't run Win32 code.

Posted 20 November 2012 - 21:03
Correct. I haven't used my Lumia 920 yet. I was hoping to ditch Zune since there is now a Windows 8 Phone sync app. But if I have to go back to Zune to manage music without pulling my hair out, that app is useless as I'll sync with Zune as well.
I don't have a problem with apps being in development, and clearly this is Beta and some components alpha, but damn it you released it and it's the only media player for the Surface which I had hoped to sync my phone with. That's just not an option in its current state and that's unacceptable IMO from a company with the resources of MS.
Clearly some things were released to meet a deadline and not "when they're done."

No problems here with video or music just go to the albums view and sort by artist ? If you want your entire collection to appear in the application from a network source it needs to be a windows client or server with indexing enabled
Its not the best but you can select songs from the App and not use the Desktop. You pull up the bottom menu bar from the main screen and select "Open File"
Posted 20 November 2012 - 21:24
No problem just playing the local files. It's searching to build a playlist that is just unusable realistically. Especially with a large library. Search always searches "all music" making more scrolling to get to the result you want. Even if you switch to my music, each search defaults to All music which includes Xbox Music Store and puts those results at the top. Now imagine that for each song to build say 3 workout playlists. Then you can't just right click to add to a playlist, from search you have to click at least twice and again to clear, etc. etc.
Posted 20 November 2012 - 21:27
After you do a search you will see "All Music" with a down arrow. Select it and pick "My music"

By recommended I mean what is the standard for it to be not too long and not too short. I know I should write until I am finished but I want to take practicality into account as well. Mainly when the book spans in a series.
120k? 150k?
Thank you!

I agree with Shan--while the word limit for fantasy is usually more elastic, you are a debut author, and a huge word count is not going to make for an easy sale. That said, a lot of the fantasy submissions I see are not long enough. Paranormal and fantasy novels, nine times out of ten, require more world building and exploration than a shorter novel can carry, and readers love a rich new world. The best ones I have seen (and read, as published) are around the 100k mark--sometimes a bit more, sometimes a little less. The trick with structuring a fantasy novel is to weave in the exposition with a very light hand, so it always feels as if the action is moving things along. Joe Abercrombie, while not my thing, is very good at this. In other words--the book might look like a doorstop but it's never a slog of a read. It's an indulgence. Here is pretty much THE post on word counts from publishing ace the Swivet: http://theswivet.blogspot.com/2008/03/on-word-counts-and-novel-length.html She thinks you can get away with 120k for epic fantasy. Personally, I'd err on the lower side of that, purely because as an untried fantasy author, you're probably prone to waffle (been there, done that, never letting aaaaanybody see that novel, lol). If your betas come back to you and say "more here, please!" then you've got wriggle room. In summary: the trend for novellas is not fantasy's friend, not unless you're building on an already-established world. Structure your exposition well, keep your plot moving, and aim to cycle through three acts to a sweet spot around 100-120k. If you're good...your editor will take it from there :) |
For novels in general, the accepted word count is 70-80,000 words. For fantasy novels, you are allowed to go slightly above this limit, but unless you are an established author, I don't recommend going too far above. I would limit the book at 100,000 words to be safe. That said, I usually find it hard to even reach the lower limit, and looking at the large amount of fluff in many books, I'm guessing so do other authors :) In the comments to one of the other answers here(can't remember which one), many people noted they would happily pay for a novella, just to avoid all the unnecessary padding and fluff. Keep this in mind when writing - one of the risks with a huge book is, unless it is truly great, most people will just ignore it. |

text: 09 Jun 2013 07:30 Etihad Airways, the national airline of the United Arab Emirates, has donated the proceeds of its charity fun run marathon, held last month as part of the airline's ten-year anniversary celebrations, to the Abu Dhabi Centre for Autism. The donation was used to fund a special vocational arts and crafts workshop to develop the children's abilities and provide them with the technical skills needed to become contributing members of society. Etihad Airways also donated a substantial number of iPads to the centre to be used as teaching aids for the "Al Zohour" group, comprised of children with high functioning autism. The iPads will be loaded with various programs and applications used by the centre to develop the children's skills and abilities. This is the second time Etihad Airways has donated iPads to the centre as the devices have proven to be successful educational tools. Khaled Al Mehairbi, the airline's Senior Vice President of Government and Aero Political Affairs and Chairman of its Sports and Social Committee said: "Etihad Airways is committed to active participation in causes that assist people and communities across its global network and especially in its home base of Abu Dhabi. "Every child deserves the best education possible and we are pleased to play a vital role in the development and training of autistic children, and ultimately in their integration into society." H.E Mohamed Fadel Al Hamli, Deputy Chairman and Secretary-General of the Zayed Higher Organization for Humanitarian Care and Special Needs, said: "I would like to extend our appreciation to Etihad Airways for its generous initiative in providing funds, iPads and other electronic equipment that will enable the centre to continue providing rehabilitative care and vocational training to children with autism. "Etihad Airways has always been generous in supporting special needs institutes like the Abu Dhabi Autism Centre and we hope to continue working closely in the future." The Abu Dhabi Autism Centre was established in 2002 as part of the Zayed Higher Organization for Humanitarian Care and Special Needs and aims to provide psychiatric and educational services to children with autism and helps integrate them in the community.
