Real reviews, from customers like you.
Third time at Blackwood forest. Really easy from London with two small children. Love the hot tub and the setting generally. Kitchen has all you need to self cater for a few days. Beds are comfortable. Easy walks for kids and little swing / slide area is a great hit with them too.
I loved Blackwood Forest and have recommened this holiday to all my friends and family. We spent 4 days and had the time of our lives. The Lodges were Morden and clean and the Staff came and showed us how to work everything on the first night. The hot tub was a nice feature and was checked and cleaned if needed daily. The location was lovely and I can't wait to book my next holiday.
very private and peaceful.
it was lovely apart from the dog-ends in the barbecue and the greasy grill pan. some disorganisation about charges for activities and services. archery and night vision very good.
a perfect family break to celebrate a birthday in beautiful surroundings and accomodation. Lovely long forest walks and relaxing in the hot tub - we will be back,
Fantastic holiday - this was our second trip to Blackwood and just as good as the first time! (Once in Feb 14 and again in Nov 14) We wanted to leave early but the retreat wasn't due to open until 830 (we got there at 8) but they let me in to pay anyway...there was then a problem with the till that it wouldn't load my bill so they let me leave as they knew we wanted to head back (hubby had man flu) and then they rang me later on to take payment over the phone! Fantastic staff all week! Some well earnt R&R!
The forest was beautiful our dog loved running around it was very peaceful which is what we wanted. The staff where very friendley at all times
dissapointed that you have to pay extra for wifi in the lodges. In this day & age it should be included. hense to say we didn't bother
An amazing weekend away with friends, the lodges are beautiful, extremely clean and kitchen well equipped and the hot is a MUST! Can't wait to come back!
Had a fantastic holiday! Can not wait to go back again!
absolutely fantastic lodge.1st time been away with our 20month old yorkshire terrier and he loved it.come back home and cant believe had to leave that lovely lodge.feeling sad now,this would be my perfect place to live in.
Fantastic getaway,golden oak lodge was amazing everything you need,all comfortable and clean. Hot tub was brill and cleaned every day, staff were friendly and helpful, would definitely return,in fact planning our next visit already !
The only thing we were disappointed with was the Twilight walk we were charged £30 to hear about six trees, and it was cut short because of rain and no refund or a coffee offered which would have been a nice gesture .
A dream holiday with our little ones - we're desperate to come back and hoping to visit again over christmas - availability permitting!!
We loved our visit to Blackwood Forest. The lodge and hot tub were fantastic, and the staff were all very helpful. The view from the lovely picture window at night reminded us of something out of a fairy tale when all the lodges were lit up, very magical. Our only suggestions for improvement would be for a play area for older children and for some form of laundry facility on site. We combined our stay with a few days in London so would have appreciated access to a washing machine.

Premium ingredients like Guittard chocolate make it a time-saving option that bakes with true brownie flavor. We added Nielsen-Massey Madagascar Bourbon vanilla, one of the world's best flavorings, for an even richer taste.

Please provide the following information to cast your vote for this site:
Before voting, please read the following guidelines. This keeps things fun and fair for everyone.
Are your votes reasonable? This is really the most important. To make this list a success we need reasonable votes. Don't give your best friend a 10 for both contents and design, because he or she is your friend... Give them the points they deserve. In my opinion there is really no single site that deserves the top-score (not even my own! :-)) Especially the design gives strange results. Design hasn't to do with the biggest Elvis-picture on the front-page! Of course it has to do with the overall look of a page, but even more important is the navigation around a site, as well as the speed.
Do you have a little spare time? If so take the time to vote for other Elvis-sites you visit! 95% of the voters only vote for one page. A very disappointing behavior towards all the dedicated webmasters.
You can vote for a page as often as you want (e.g. in case of a major update) as I will replace the old vote with the new one. And of course you can vote for as many pages as you want, better: for as many as possible.

Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used as credit towards that service with that business for an additional three months.

A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.

A. INTRODUCTION: In 1963 the Army Aviation Association of America (AAAA) created a scholarship program to secure contributions with which to fund college entrance level scholarships for children of AAAA members and deceased members. To administer the program and encourage members and others to make tax-free donations to it, AAAA created the AAAA Scholarship Foundation Inc. (Foundation) CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION, a non-profit, tax-exempt corporation under Section 501(C)(3) of the US Internal Revenue Service Code, IRS DETERMINATION LETTER, with a volunteer Board of Governors, supported by the AAAA National Office Staff. Thus, the Foundation is, effectively, the manager of the AAAA Scholarship Program.
As the Scholarship Program grew in both capitalization and diversity of scholarships to be managed, AAAA created an ad hoc Scholarship Committee within its National Executive Board to examine the manner in which the Foundation managed the Scholarship Program and to report on how the Program was serving the AAAA membership. In addition, AAAA agreed to absorb the expenses of administering the Program and, thus, enable the Foundation to assure its current and prospective donors that 100% of every dollar received goes directly to a scholarship's principal, or was paid out in scholarship grants or interest-free loans.
The purpose of this document is to delineate the policies and procedures to be followed in managing scholarships and accounting for funds entrusted to the Foundation in a manner to insure achievement of the purposes of the Scholarship Program. The purposes and persons in the AAAA membership to be served are found in the Preamble to the Foundation By-Laws.
B. GENERAL POLICIES AND PROCEDURES. The general policies and procedures gleaned from the Foundation Charter and By-Laws, governing Board decisions and AAAA guidance are listed below. They shall govern management of the Scholarship Program and funds entrusted to the Foundation.
1. The AAAA member to whom an applicant is related must have an effective date of membership on or before 1 May of the year prior to the year in which the applicant is seeking a scholarship, unless the member is deceased. This requirement is waived for all uniformed members of the Active Army, Army National Guard and U.S. Army Reserve.
2. The principal aim of the Foundation is to provide as much funding as is reasonably possible to student applicants in the population to be served.
3. All funds entrusted to the Foundation shall be held as fund principal or disbursed as scholarship grants or loans.
4. All funds received by the Foundation and not immediately needed for awards shall be invested to earn income.
5. All investments shall be in accord with the INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT POLICY.
6. The minimum scholarship grant or loan shall be $1000.
7. All funds donated to specific scholarships shall be referred to as designated funds and accounted for in an "Endowment Fund". All donations to designated funds that are "Permanently Restricted" are subject to the provisions of the Uniform Prudent Management of Institutional Funds Act, (UPMIFA). Scholarship donations to these designated funds are considered part of Fund principal and may not be used for the awarding of scholarships without the permission of the original donors. In Accordance With (IAW), UPMIFA, the AAAASFI Board of Governors (BOG) has established a "Spending Rate" which is not based on the actual portfolio returns each year, to allow for scholarships to be granted each year based upon the Designated Fund earnings before the actual Investment returns for the year are known. The BOG has established a Spending Rate of 3.5%. That means, for each multiple of $30,000 of Fund principal, a $1,000 scholarship can be awarded. Any Investment earnings on the Fund principal in excess of the Spending rate are held aside for the following year to allow for 3.5% awards to the extent available, when the actual Investment return is less than 3.5% and/or to provide for the loss of purchasing power due to inflation. UPMIFA anticipates that such a conservative "Spending Rate" will be exceeded by the average actual portfolio return over time and result in preservation of principal and possibly even an increase in fund total. A fund is considered "Permanently Restricted" when it reaches a minimum of $30,000. Only the donor has the right to allow the AAAASFI BOG to use a portion of the Fund principal or can make an additional current contribution if the 3.5% of the original Fund principal does not equal $1,000 or a multiple of a $1,000 and the donor nevertheless wants to make a $1,000 or a multiple of a $1,000 scholarship award. Donor instructions to invade principal must be in writing. Other "designated" funds include "Temporarily Restricted", which is they are in the process of funding and have not yet reached the $30,000 threshold, or "Unrestricted Funds" such as Memorial or Chapter Annual Scholarships.
8. The purpose of the General Fund is first to meet the requirements of UPMIFA to make a provision for preserving purchasing power against inflation for permanently restricted funds. The second purpose for the General Fund is to provide a source of matching funds for those authorized by the Board of Governors.
The Board of Governors has a fiduciary responsibility to maintain an adequately funded organization. To that end the Board of Governors has established a trigger/floor for the General Fund to insure it can meet the two above mentioned purposes. The General Fund is managed by an approved Investment Manager with oversight by the Finance Committee and guidance approved by the full Board of Governors. All funds not designated for permanently restricted or temporarily restricted funds shall be referred to as "undesignated" funds and accounted for in a "General Fund".
a. The General Fund trigger/floor is dynamic in nature and is based on UPMIFA inflation requirements plus the sum of the matching dollars that were actually expended from the General Fund in the three immediately preceding years in which the SFI Standard Operating Procedures for all matching grants were implemented based on the financial audits of those years.
b. The Calendar Year annual audit is completed prior to the spring meeting of the BOG held in conjunction with the AAAA Annual Forum. At the spring meeting the Treasurer reports out to the BOG on whether the General Fund has achieved the annual trigger/floor based on the preceding year's audit. If so, it triggers a full execution of the stated matching programs in paragraphs C & D of this document. If the trigger/floor is not met, the Treasurer along with the Finance Committee will provide a recommendation to the BOG for the current year's matching program. At the fall meeting of the BOG, the Treasurer will report out on the current year's just executed matching program and provide an estimate of the General Fund floor for the following year. The final trigger/floor for the following year will be based on the actual December 31 numbers in each annual audit.
9. All scholarships shall be awarded on the basis of merit and the applicants with the highest merit standings shall receive the highest dollar awards.
10. An order of merit list (OML) showing the relative standings of all scholarship applicants shall be prepared and used in the annual selection process. There shall be three separate OML lists: a) Entering Freshmen; b) Upperclassmen; and c) Graduate Students.
11. For "Open" scholarship classifications, as described herein, and other scholarships for which application restrictions are imposed by donors/proponents, the above OML's shall be used in such a way as to insure that only applicants meeting these restrictions and having not won a scholarship of higher value are selected.
12. Grants shall take precedence over loans in awards to scholarship applicants.
13. Any applicant whose OML standing merits selection for a higher dollar award than the one for which application was made shall be awarded the higher award.
14. Subsequent year awards of a multi-year grant or loan shall be dependent upon completion of the prior year academic course work and explicit intent to continue schooling under the terms of the scholarship awarded.
15. No recipient shall hold concurrent AAAASFI scholarships.
16. All scholarship disbursements must be claimed by December 1 within the academic school year in which the increment is due or be forfeited and the award made to the next most meritorious student on the OML unless the original awardee has applied for and been granted an exception to policy by the National Office.
C. THE ENDOWMENT FUND. Each scholarship funded from the Endowment Fund shall have on record a current signed agreement between the Foundation and the scholarship donor/proponent or, if a signed agreement is not available, a written statement by the Board of Governors, describing how the scholarship shall be managed and attesting to the conditions under which it will continue in effect. Scholarship grants funded from this fund shall be further classified as prescribed below.
1. The Perpetual Grants.
a. These "Permanently Restricted" grants are endowed by or in behalf of individuals, living or deceased or institutional entities and shall be awarded in perpetuity according to the wishes of the donor/proponent, consistent with Foundation policy.
b. Each of these scholarships shall receive a pro-rata share of Foundation investment earnings.
c. These grants shall be funded only from endowment earnings and donations received in the current year without invasion of principal.
d. The minimum increase in a perpetual scholarship grant shall be $500 but no grant shall be increased unless the increase can be sustained by further donations or earnings or a combination thereof.
2. The Matched Chapter Grants. These scholarships are matched dollar for dollar up to $5000 per year based on the chapter size, from the General Fund, subject to General Fund asset availability above a BOG established minimum General Fund floor, and shall be awarded in accord with the wishes of the donor chapter, consistent with Foundation policy, unless otherwise stipulated, whereby scholarships are awarded first to the top one-third freshmen, upperclassmen, and graduate students, then the middle third freshmen, upperclassmen, and graduate students, and lastly the bottom third freshmen, upperclassmen, and graduate students. The tiered categories for award matching are based on membership numbers established at the beginning of each calendar year. Super Chapters (751 members and larger) will be matched up to $3,000, Master Chapters (301-750 members) will be matched up to $4,000 while both Senior and AAAA Chapters (300 and less members) will be matched up to $5,000.
a. There are two types of Matched Chapter Grants: Perpetual Matched, and Annual Matched.
i. Perpetual Matched Chapter Grants are those designated Endowed Funds established by a chapter that are in the process of funding to, or have reached their minimum $30,000 threshold to yield a perpetual $1,000 per year award at the 3.5% "Spending Rate".
ii. Annual Matched Chapter Grants are those designated funds that have no endowed principal and are donated, matched and disbursed in the year received.
b. Matched funds may be used for either or a mix of both types subject to the individual chapter's written instructions. For example, a Super chapter may donate $3,000. That will be matched by the SFI with $3,000. This will result in a total donation of $6,000. That chapter may decide to place $2,000 in its Perpetual Grant(s) and place the remaining $4,000 in four separate $1,000 Annual Matched grants to be awarded that year.
c. Matched Chapter Grants will first be offered only to an applicant from the chapter subject to two chapter-chosen options that they select on the Matched Chapter Grant form setting up the fund.
i. Option #1. If there are no remaining applicants from the chapter because all chapter applicants have received other higher dollar amount awards, the Matched Chapter Grant will be awarded to the next most meritorious applicant on the general OML.
ii. Option #2. If there are no applicants whomsoever from the chapter, the chapter donation will be held for an award the following year to an applicant from the chapter and the amount of the match will be returned to the General Fund. If any applicant from the chapter receives any other award of a same or higher dollar amount before the Chapter award is assigned, the chapter matching fund scholarship must be awarded to the next most meritorious candidate on the general OML.
d. Chapters with less than 100 members as of January 1st of the year in which the grant is to be awarded, may donate $500 to be matched from the General Fund for a grant of $1000, subject to General Fund availability.
e. If the recipient of a matched grant is an entering freshman and the grant is less than $2000 it shall be awarded as a 1-year grant; if $2000 or more but less than $4000 it shall be awarded as a 2-year grant; if equal to or more than $4000 it shall be awarded as a 4-year grant.
f. If the recipient of a matched grant is an upperclassman or a graduate student, the grant shall be paid out at $1000 per year.
g. The provisions of paragraphs C.1.b through C.1.d above are applicable to these grants.
3. The Matched Corporate Perpetual Grants.
a. These scholarships are endowed by corporate donations, matched dollar for dollar based on gross revenue for our industry partners. For those corporations with gross earnings less than ten million dollars the match is up to $15,000 and for those corporations with gross earnings of ten million dollars or greater the match is up to $10,000. Each type of corporate grant must be matched within a five-year period from the General Fund, and is subject to General Fund availability and shall be awarded in perpetuity in accord with the wishes of the donor corporation, consistent with Foundation policy, unless otherwise stipulated, whereby scholarships are awarded first to the top one-third freshmen, upperclassmen, and graduate students, then the middle third freshmen, upperclassmen, and graduate students, and lastly the bottom third freshmen, upperclassmen, and graduate students. While all donations to a corporate fund are accepted, only those received directly from the corporate sponsor will be matched. It should be noted that in all cases a total principal of $30,000 must be reached in order to become "permanently restricted" and complete the company's pledge. For example an over $10M class of company must pledge $20,000 and only its first $10,000 will be matched by the AAAASFI for a total of $30,000.
b. The provisions of paragraphs C.1.b through C.1.d above are applicable to these grants.
4. The Matched Heritage Perpetual Grants.
a. The purpose of the Heritage Grants is to keep the sponsoring unit/organization's name alive in perpetuity.
b. These scholarships are endowed by grants from sponsoring Unit and/or Veteran associations, subject to General Fund availability and matched dollar for dollar up to $10,000 within a ten-year period from the General Fund and shall be awarded in perpetuity in accord with the wishes of the donor association, consistent with Foundation policy, unless otherwise stipulated, whereby scholarships are awarded first to the top one-third freshmen, upperclassmen, and graduate students, then the middle third freshmen, upperclassmen, and graduate students, and lastly the bottom third freshmen, upperclassmen, and graduate students. While all donations to a Heritage Fund are accepted, only the first $10,000 received directly from the sponsoring association will be matched. It should be noted that in all cases a total principal of $30,000 must be reached in order to become "permanently restricted" and complete the organization's pledge. For example an organization must pledge $20,000 and only its first $10,000 will be matched by the AAAASFI for a total of $30,000.
c. The provisions of paragraphs C.1.b through C.1.d above are applicable to these grants.
5. The Matched Individual Perpetual Grants.
a. In 2007 the AAAA Scholarship Foundation, Inc. established a pilot program to expand the then existing Corporate Matching, and Heritage Matching Fund Programs to offer a similar opportunity to Individuals. The purpose of the Individual Grants is to honor an individual(s) in perpetuity.
b. The pilot Individual Matching Fund Program was announced to the AAAA Membership and eight individuals responded. The SFI Board of Governors set a maximum of three matches per annum for a total potential exposure to the General Fund of $45,000 per year. Specifically, each donor pledged $15,000 over a maximum of 10 years. Each donation was matched up to $15,000 as donations were received. The names of the initial eight donors who came forward were placed in a hat and drawn one at a time to establish an order of merit list. The first three were accepted the first year. The second three were accepted the next year. The last two were accepted in year three. The program was deemed a success.
c. In Spring 2012, the SFI BOG voted to make the pilot program a new Standing Program along with the existing Heritage and Corporate Matching Fund Programs. In order to make sure all AAAA members have an equal opportunity to participate in this new program, the Individual Matching Fund program will be announced on January 1, 2013 and remain open for 90 days. Mirroring the original pilot program, all names of those who asked to participate will be again placed in a drawing and selected one at a time to establish an OML. Again as in the pilot program, and subject to funds available, the first three will be accepted the first year, second three the second year and so on until the list is exhausted. When the OML is exhausted, the program will again be opened for a 90 day window on January 1 of that year to establish a new OML with subsequent random drawing assignments of three donors per year. Donors will have a maximum of 10 years to complete their pledge.
d. Each year the SFI BOG will review the program with a view to matching more than three a year if the General Fund allows.
e. In all events, the SFI will allow each donor to donate funds prior to their drawn year of acceptance with the understanding that the matching funds from the SFI General Fund will not be available until the designated year of acceptance.
f. Bottom line is that this new program will be open to all AAAA members on an equal basis of opportunity, and maximum annual exposure to the SFI General Fund will be three times the maximum individual match of $15,000 for a total of $45,000.
g. The provisions of paragraphs C.1.b through C.1.d above are applicable to these grants.
6. All matching grants are subject to General Fund availability and should be prioritized for distribution based on the total amount of dollars the General Fund is over or under the approved floor. The Finance Committee will submit a recommendation at the spring meeting to the full board of Governors after a review of the formal audit for approval.
D. SPECIFIED GRANTS. These Scholarships funded from the General Fund shall be established by the Foundation in consultation with AAAA as to impacts they may have on the AAAA membership. Pertinent AAAA guidance and Foundation implementing information shall be kept in an active Foundation file on each scholarship classification accounted for in the General Fund. The investment earnings not pro-rated to the Endowment Fund Scholarships shall be accounted for in the General Fund but shall not accrue to any specific scholarship. Scholarship grants and loans shall be further classified as "Open Grants" and "Open Loans", as indicated below.
1. The AAAA Open Grants. Grants in this classification shall be open to all applicants from all segments of the population to be served. They shall be further classified as indicated below.
a. The AAAA Aeronautical Sciences Grant. This shall be a 4-year, $4000 grant to an entering freshman, dispersed at $1,000 per year, who is a candidate for an undergraduate's degree in the aeronautical sciences.
b. The AAAA Past President Memorial Grants. These are 4-year $5000 entering freshman grants, dispersed at $1,250 per year, and named for AAAA Past Presidents who, as founding members rendered extraordinary service to AAAA and the Foundation.
c. The AAAA Life-Member Memorial Grants. These 1-year, $1000 grants shall be awarded to entering freshmen from an escrow of funds in the General Fund to memorialize members of a past AAAA life member program who opted for a memorial grant as a condition of their contribution to the Foundation.
2. The AAAA Open Loans. These shall be 4-year, $4000, interest-free loans, open to any entering freshman who agrees in writing to repay the loan, beginning in the fourth month following graduation or, absent other arrangements with the Foundation, upon failure to abide by the conditions of the loan. Current and future loans shall be accounted for in a "Revolving Loan Account" within the General Fund.
E. PROGRAM PLANNING AND GOAL PROJECTION. During its Spring Meeting, the Governors shall receive Executive Committee recommendations for upcoming annual scholarship programs. Review and further guidance on programs thus established shall be conducted by the board at its October meeting.
F. REVIEW AND UPDATE. This document shall be reviewed every two years.
G. DISTRIBUTION. Each member of the Board of Governors shall receive a copy of this document and its updated versions. A current copy of this document shall be included in the AAAA Information File, which is distributed annually to the AAAA National Executive Board and AAAA Chapter Presidents and Secretaries.

this one sucked ass!!!
Here is an all-new animated clip from SUPERMAN: UNBOUND. The clip features Superman (Matt Bomer) and Lois (Stana Katic) discussing how Clark can't handle the women in his life.
SUPERMAN: UNBOUND, the next entry in the popular series of DC Universe Animated Original Movies, arrives May 7, 2013 from Warner Bros. Home Entertainment as a Blu-ray™ Combo Pack, DVD, On Demand and for Digital Download.
Synopsis: Based on the Geoff Johns/Gary Frank 2008 release "Superman: Brainiac,"SUPERMAN: UNBOUND finds the Man of Steel aptly handling day-to-day crime while helping acclimate Supergirl to Earth's customs and managing Lois Lane's expectations for their relationship. Personal issues take a back seat when the horrific force responsible for the destruction of Krypton – Brainiac – begins his descent upon Earth. Brainiac has crossed the universe, collecting cities from interesting planets – including Supergirl's home city of Kandor – and now the all-knowing, ever-improving android has his sights fixed on Metropolis. Superman must summon all of his physical and intellectual resources to protect his city, the love of his life and his newly-arrived cousin.
I don't believe it sucked to much but there definately was something missing. It just wasn't near as goothers the others DC has been coming out with. Just kinda boring.
I ended up buying it. It wasn't amazing, but it was good. Definitely better then Superman Vs. The Elite.
I want to see them do something like Superman/Batman Apocalypse!! That's the one I really liked!

I forgot to mention for what it's worth, I can't see how they can ship Unity as the default desktop. It makes sense to have it on the disc and also push it heavily for those more experimental users, but not the default, at least not yet.
I'd hope any system integrators will be setting systems up for end users with the classic desktop for the moment. I'd say Unity's still a little pink on the inside for most lay people who generally prefer their desktop well-done.

Phoronix: Trillian Chat Client Coming To Linux, Currently In Beta
For those not satisfied with the open-source Pidgin or Empathy multi-protocol chat programs on Linux, Cerulean Studios is finally bringing Trillian to Linux. A beta was announced today of Trillian for Linux but right now it's limited...
LOL who in hell would buy such a software, especially on Linux ? I'm curious XD
Why should the Linux community be excited about Trillian any more than we were excited about Nero?
Trillian on windows is an excelent chat software.
If the plug-ins are coming to linux then i am happy.
Its the only way i have to use skype, gtalk and facebook chat in a very lightweight and costumizable software for free..
Yes, i don't understand why pay for it.
Since it will be free on final version.
I see the payment method for the beta some sort of contribution for the full native support and integration to ubuntu.
I guess most ubuntu users should consider at least pay a 20$ subscription in the first year.
Its one of the most things i miss from windows, a good IM, pidgin and empathy is not up to this.
Last edited by ObscureAngelPT; 10-08-2013 at 07:22 PM.
Yep, i have a lot of people there.
Especially when skype came to replace MSN.
I know that empathy and pidgin are lightweigh, but skype it isn't, and on windows even less.
Its not just the fact of being multi protocol, its the sync, history, and a massive lot of features and costumizations that its available to choose from.
Unfortunaly the free version have some ads, but they are not massive ads, not animated flashs or something, they are very subtle.
I know that linux people will be like, we don't need this, be when its free give it a try and feel the difference
Whatever happened to Ventrilo coming to Linux?
In their forums, they created a section for Linux back on May 30, 2005.
Did the Ventilo creator die or something?
I have reason to suspect that Skype support won't last very long though. From an email I received from the Skype developers when I emailed them about Skype API issues (messages from Skype often not being sent to IM clients accessing Skype via the API), I was told that they intend to drop support for Skype API access and SkypeKit (which is, if I recall, what Trillian uses for Skype connectivity). Unless MS plans to open up access to Skype's servers and services to other IM clients in the future, I suspect this means the only way to use Skype at all will be with the official client.
EDIT: One of the Trillian devs replied to a comment on the blog post linked to in the article that there is no Skype support in the beta version currently. Whether they get Skype connectivity at all in the final release remains to be seen, but I wouldn't count on it, for reasons I've already mentioned above.

I guess this is why they are trying to descentralize the things.
Not sure if it is going to be good ideia..
Are people still using desktop chat software?
I thought everybody was using WhatsApp these days

6000 new apartments on Palestinian Land?
Time to end the US money stream until we have a two-State Peace.
White supremacy under the Zionist flag
You say:
'6000 new apartments on Palestinian Land?'
Actually, only about 1000 are in the disputed territories. But that's beside the point.
You call it 'Palestinian Land'? - Prove it is.
Ignorance is no excuse. You should know better.
An evasive response given due to the absence of a relevant answer..
My first comment will prove to be correct once all the the projects have completed the inevitable approved certification. I have been a supporter of Israel since 1948, probably longer than you. I remember when Israel had Great, Internationally praised, Leadership. Nuttingyahoo is not leading the Nation toward Peace. He is more interested in appeasing his nutty right-wing ultra-conservative base. Similar to America's Speaker of the House, Bonehead, ah, Boehner. No need for more preaching to the choir. I am saying if Israel wants American Tax Payer money, then make a Peace. Now. Then we can talk about Iran. I know how Israel received their yellow cake. Do you? Is that relevant enough?
it's in Palestine - part on Palestinian land that Israel has seized, and part on Palestinian land.
You say:
'it's in Palestine - part on Palestinian land that Israel has seized...'
First, the name 'Palestine' is a name of a region, not a country. Like Java, which is part of Indonesia; Or Sahara in Northern Africa; or Greenland which is part of Denmark. Never were there a Java, or Sahara, or Greenland states.
Second, Israel didn't seize anything from 'Palestine', as mentioned above, since there was never such a country. Israel seized the West Bank from Jordan, whose sovereignty over it was never recognized (apart from Pakistan and the UK). before Jordan there was a period in which that was a no man's land, and before that the British Mandate, and before that the Ottomans...
In short - The West Bank as it isn't occupied; it is a disputed area which future is to be resolved... once the Palestinians are willing to sit down and discuss the matter.
Craig, if you supported Israel after 1948, there is no reason to change that position, to my humble opinion, that is.
Israel is blackmailed into a lose-lose situation:
If Israel submits to the Palestinian and Arab world's gang-raping Israel into withdrawal from the West Bank in addition to its unilateral withdrawal from Gaza, then the outcome will be the same as it was after Israel left Gaza - A barrage of rockets fired also into Israel's central part.
If Israel stands firm and defends its interests in the face of organized campaign to mass murder as many innocent Israelis as possible, the Palestinians are likely to obtain the assistance of mostly innocent people, such as yourself possibly, that turn themselves into 'useful idiots' who will buy into the Palestinians posturing as 'miserable people who just want their rights', and not for what they are - people who run an existential aggression against Israel..
You say:
'I am saying if Israel wants American Tax Payer money, then make a Peace.'
Put the American tax money aside for a minute, since the Palestinian's aggression against Israel is existential in nature, not political, there are only three ways Israel can achieve peace in the Middle East on its own:
1. All Israeli Jews collectively pack their bags and leave Israel; or,
2. All Israeli Jews collectively suicide themselves; Or,
3. Israel dismantles the IDF, letting its neighbors genocide all Jewish Israelis, making the Crimes Against Humanity scenes coming out Syria look like a walk-in-the-park in comparison to what will come out when they go after defenseless Israeli Jews.
I do not know what about you, but I think none of the above will occur.
The only way to have a 4th option - negotiated peace deal, is if the Palestinians rid themselves from theuir existential threat on Israel. Then, and only then - real peace can come!
So some of the apartments are in that part of the region of Palestine that Israel has seized, and some are in that part of the region of Palestine that Israel has not seized yet.
But i think we can take it that israel is working on it, to eliminate that distinction. We are moving inexoraly towards a one-state solution for the region of Palestine.
Utter Nonsense. You need to chill, my Friend and clean out your mind and "Give Peace a Chance"
Happy Hanukah
I agree with your last two sentences. Any state that is committed to the destruction of another State, that is innocent of aggression, is an enemy of all of US. Your generalization of Palestinians is untrue and will continue the Hate. You should know that.
You say:
'Your generalization of Palestinians is untrue and will continue the Hate.'
There are two major movements in the Palestinian society: PLO and Hamas.
Look at the PLO Palestinian National Charter:
"Article 2: Palestine, with the boundaries it had during the British Mandate, is an indivisible territorial unit."
"Article 15: The liberation of Palestine, from an Arab viewpoint, is a national (qawmi) duty... and aims at the elimination of Zionism in Palestine."
"Article 21: The Arab Palestinian people, expressing themselves by armed Palestinian revolution, reject all solutions which are substitutes for the total liberation of Palestine...".
From the Hamas Covenant:
Second paragraph:
"Israel will exist and will continue to exist until Islam will obliterate it"
Article 7:
"The Day of Judgement will not come about until Moslems fight the Jews (killing the Jews)..."
This isn't a generalization, Craig. Those are the declared policies of the two movements that run 'Palestine'!
You say:
"Give Peace a Chance".
The PLO was established in 1964. From 1964 to 1993, the year Oslo Accords were signed - 29 years - 903 Israelis were killed in terror attacks.
From 1994, the year of the PA Establishment and Arafat entry to Gaza, till 2004 - a period of 10 years - 1,335 (!) Israelis were murdered.
In Oslo, Israel "gave peace a chance. What the Oslo Accords 'peace deal' had brought Israel was, however, a terror murder rate 4+ times more than in the years prior to Oslo.
Just for you to understand what 1,335 dead Israel in the 10 years between 1994-2003 means if you pro-rate it to the US population, it means some 55,000 dead Americans! - That's almost twice 9/11 events each year, for 10 years in a row!!
This what happened when Israel "gave peace a chance".
Then, Israel tried again in 2005 when it unilaterally departed Gaza, including evacuation of all Jewish settlements there. For a while, rocket fire, which started dripping in the early 2000's, were dropped. I guess the Palestinians focused on taking over the evacuated areas and building their force.
Look at the attached Economist article which shows how rocket fire peeked after 2005, to the point where it was inevitable for Israel but go for operation 'Cast Lead' late 2008. After that 'reset' to Hamas, which meanwhile ousted Abbas in Gaza in 2007, rocket fire started to pick up again, until the recent 'Pillar of Defense' operation.
See Economist link:
Craig - The problem isn't Israel not giving peace a chance. The problem is existential aggression against Israel that misunderstands Israel's peace chance giving as a weakness that invites ever more attacks on innocent Israelis.
Today it is clear to anyone interested in the truth, that any Israeli move out of the West Bank will end up the same like what happened when Israel departed Gaza - more anti-Israeli aggression.
I recommend you listen to the attached analysis made by Alan Dershowitz, Sep. 2011.
Ahistorical, insidious nonsense.
I realize that cherry-picking things is your job. I would like to be a fly on the wall while the Ultra-religious right is meeting. I suspect that I would hear equally insidious comments.
Make a Peace while it is possible.
Now, that you were unable to refute any of my arguments, are there any more empty slogans you wish to share?
I have a rule against responding to propaganda and half truths. Israel must Stop the new building on disputed land and make a two-state Peace or loose all US taxpayer Foreign Aid. I will do all I can to see that the US Congress acts. We are currently doing a lot of financial cutting. This is an area that should be addressed long before we cut entitlements for US Seniors. Timing is everything and our is over.
Merry Christmas. Bye Bye
You say:
'I have a rule against responding to propaganda and half truths.'
Unless you point out to things I said which to your opinion constitute 'half truth' or 'propaganda', then the above quoted sentence of yours is in itself propaganda.
As per US aid to Israel - this is an internal matter of the US. If it things such investment is Israel doesn't yield a valuable benefit, then the US should go ahead and cut that aid.
Since time is tough for Americans, I wonder of you would also push for the cut in US aid also to Egypt, were American Embassy came under attack..
Seasons' Greetings to you too.

The Inseparable Love of God
from R.C. Sproul Mar 09, 2011 Category: R.C. Sproul
The source of Christian comfort is not that we are for God or that we are on His side. Rather it is that God is for us and is on our side. To know that God is for us is to know that no one and nothing can ever prevail against us. Paul's question is clearly rhetorical: "If God is for us, who can be against us?" The answer is obvious: nobody. Keep Reading -
Will Sin Go Unpunished?
from R.C. Sproul Mar 07, 2011 Category: R.C. Sproul
All things being equal, God does desire that no one should perish. But all things are not equal. Sin is real. Sin violates God's holiness and righteousness. God also is not willing that sin should go unpunished. He desires as well that His holiness should be vindicated.... When the preceptive will is violated, things are no longer equal. Keep Reading -

When I first became a Christian I was introduced to the priorities of the Christian community. I learned quickly that it was expected of me that I have a daily devotion time, a time reserved for Bible reading and prayer. I was expected to go to church. I was expected to have a kind of piety that was evident by not cursing, not drinking, not smoking, and the like. I had no idea that biblical righteousness went far beyond these things. Keep Reading -

The bottom of the sink is not flat. It does not have sharp lines for it to meet the counter top tight. I had to use a lot of caulk to fill the gap. It is hard to see the caulk because it is so deep under the bowl, but it is not a good design. If you look at the picture the area I am refering to is the black shadow under the sink at the counter top. The finish on the sink is slightly pitted. It is not "Kohler" quality.
As many other people stated, this sink is fairly large. Be sure that you are very tall if you are putting this on a modern vanity (unless you plan on partially sinking it in to the top). Luckily, even though it will not work out for us in the bath we originally planned it for, we will be able to use it in another bathroom (once we find a lower vanity for it!).
I ordered a sink vessel only without faucet hall ,I ordered the faucet on the wall mount can I exchanged it to regular oval white ceramic vessel we need it a s a p our bath room is almost done,can we do something about it?
I would recommend only if you have a large space or vanity to put this on. It certainly is much larger than it looks in the picture. If you have a small bathroom, I would not use it. It looks nice but it is simply huge...too big for the space we were using it.
The picture is very misleading. It looks like it has a low profile when it actually has a base that doesn't show in the picture (probably recessed). It sits way too tall to be put on a 36" tall vanity cabinet. Also the back is unfinished and open and will reflect plumbing pipes in the mirror. It's huge 24" wide. I had to return it. Do a search on oval white vessel sinks and it will show more accurate pictures of what it really looks like.
This is a beautiful sink! I was surprised by how much I loved this sink and it looks like it is very good quality. Unfortunately I didn't look at the measurements and it is to large so I have to return but I would recommend this vessel sink to anyone!!

The purpose of this notice is to alert you to the implementation of a new statewide child and adolescent behavioral health consultation service for primary care providers (PCPs) and clinicians, called Illinois DocAssist. The Illinois DocAssist consultation service was effective starting September 8, 2008.
To contact Illinois DocAssist, call 1-866-986-ASST (2778). The Illinois DocAssist consultation service is available at no cost to PCPs and clinicians serving HFS enrolled children under 21 years of age. Illinois DocAssist is available Monday through Friday, 9:00AM to 5:00 PM, except holidays.
Illinois DocAssist is designed to assist PCPs and clinicians in their assessment and treatment of children and youth with mental health or substance use problems. Illinois DocAssist staff (child and adolescent psychiatrists and other behavioral health clinicians) will off the following:
Illinois DocAssist, a collaborative program of the Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services; the Department of Human Services/Division of Mental Health; the University of Illinois at Chicago Department of Psychiatry and the Illinois Children's Mental Health Partnership, seeks to meet the need for early and effective behavioral health intervention for children and youth. Given the well-documented shortage of child and adolescent psychiatrists in the United States, it is not surprising that 75% of youth with psychiatric disorders are seen in primary care settings, and about half of all pediatric office visits involve behavioral, psychosocial, and/or educational concerns. PCPs have requested, and can benefit from, support by child psychiatrists as they diagnose and treat children and youth with mental health and substance use symptoms and illnesses.
The goals of Illinois DocAssist are to:
HFS strongly encourages all primary care providers and other clinicians to take advantage of Illinois DocAssist.

This is an old revision of CambridgeArchaeologyFieldGroup from 2010-09-17 02:14:19.
Cambridge Archaeology Field GroupCAFG is an amateur group, whose activities relate to archaeology in the Cambridge area.
Mr Ratfords House
To coincide with the CBA's 2010 Festival of Archaeology, the group were invited by the National Trust, to carry out an excavation at their Wimpole Hall property, near Cambridge. CAFG has had a close working relationship with NT stretching back at least ten years. Previous excavations that the group has carried out at Wimpole, have been focused on the former formal gardens to the rear of the property. This year, saw the excavation of features in a paddock adjacent to Wimpole's Home Farm.
During the laying of a telephone cable some months previously, the trench cut through some brickwork in the paddock to the south of Home Farm. No building has stood on this site in recent times but there appears to have been a house at this point, occupied by William Stok, when Hare drew his map in 1638. At that time there was a track leading from the Manor House (roughly where Wimpole Hall now stands) to the junction of what is now the lane to Cobb's Wood Farm. The building sits just to the north of this lane. In the 1790's the buildings of Home Farm were erected and the track went out of use, with the house demolished sometime early in the 19th century. We hoped to establish the position of the house, its state of preservation and if there was any evidence of earlier buildings.
A geophysical survey was undertaken by Rheesearch Archaeology, a local community group. Unfortunately the results were not very helpful, but the long dry period in the months leading up to our start in late July, has meant that there were parch marks in the grass. These outlined clearly the walls of a long building aligned north to south, in the position expected from the structure labelled 'Mr Ratford's House' on the design drawing for the 1794 farm buildings.
Five small trenches were positioned to explore this structure. The result is that we now know there was a house, one room wide and perhaps five rooms long, built sometime late in the 17th century. Short red brick walls supported a timber frame, probably two floors tall. With no great evidence for roof tiles it seems that it was thatched. At the southern end there was a substantial brick gable end probably rising to two floors, abutting the lane. This may well have incorporated an inglenook fireplace on the ground floor. A complex of brick walls to the west may be part of stair, cupboard or garderobe (a latrine, privy or toilet), but further evidence lies outside the trench. On the west side of the house, a late extension had been built using white-yellow bricks. This had a brick floor and probably a timber framed structure, some of which was plastered and painted a light blue colour. The archaeological evidence shows that the house was deliberately levelled and the land turned into a meadow which has never been ploughed since – the brick walls were only 5cm below the surface in places.
Below the western extension and extending to the west was an area of cobbles, perhaps a yard. Over this had accumulated about 40cm of soil containing much ash and in places oyster and mussel shells. Much of the pottery from this feature appears to be late medieval as does that sealed below the ground floor of Mr Ratford's house. The only feature found that could be medieval was one slot cut into the underlying natural clay. This contained medieval pottery, and was perhaps part of an earlier house.
There is much work to do on the finds, drawings and photographs before we understand all that we have found. Perhaps we will have to go back next year to answer questions arising from this work.
We would be most interested to hear from any other groups who have worked on similar rural vernacular houses of the post medieval period.

CLANG continues to catch GCC, and is now faster in certain benchmarks. OpenMP support should help things a ton as well.
Figure CLANG will be faster within the next two years or so.
Phoronix: Benchmarking LLVM/Clang 3.2, GCC 4.8, DragonEgg Compilers
Earlier this week I shared some updated benchmarks of the latest development code for LLVM/Clang 3.2 on an Intel Core i7 processor. Now from this same setup to complement the LLVM 3.1/3.2 benchmarks are results of the GCC 4.7.2 compiler, the latest GCC 4.8 development snapshot, and benchmarks of GCC when using LLVM's DragonEgg 3.1/3.2-SVN optimizer plug-in.
CLANG continues to catch GCC, and is now faster in certain benchmarks. OpenMP support should help things a ton as well.
Figure CLANG will be faster within the next two years or so.
Again these benchmarks are close to worthless, not only does Michael entirely fail to disclose any flags used on the vast majority of tests making them totally useless, but on those few he provides flags he doesn't set a -On optimization level which again makes them useless.
This is a compiler performance benchmark, if you are going to benchmark performance you need to supply optimization levels as there is no point whatsoever to benchmark compilers when they don't optimize which is the default in GCC.
Also, if you want to measure the best performance the compiler can achieve you will use the highest optimization level (-O3 in this case), it's true that in certain cases the heuristics fail and -O2 produces faster code but in general -O3 will beat -O2, and if you only benchmark one optimization level then it should of course be -O3.
For a while it looked like Michael was getting a clue as we saw some benchmark tests where he supplied flags for the vast majority if not all benchmarks and also set -On flags but now he is back to doing these totally useless tests. He is obviously clueless.
In this benchmark only the following have optimization flags set (and can thus be used to draw conclusions from):
Timed HMMer search (-O3)
C-Ray (-O3)
PrimeSieve (-O2, why not -O3?)
Smallot (-O3)
The rest can be discarded as totally worthless as there is no optimization flag set and in many cases not even any flags at all declared. These tests do nothing but highlight Michael's lack of understanding at best, wilfull ignorance at worst when it comes to compilers.
@XorEaxEax, lol, you're not making gamerk2 look so good either.
That's really interesting that GCC+DragonEgg is generating such faster binaries than Clang. More than a few cases show GCC+DragonEgg to be as fast as main GCC. That implies that the backend is not a limiting factor (that is, that LLVM optimizations are near as good as the more mature GCC ones in most cases, OpenMP support not withstanding), but rather that something funny is going on with Clang (the frontend) and how it's lowering code into LLVM IR.
And that doesn't sound right to me at all. If it isn't something fishy with the builds of the compilers themselves, this is probably some kind of simple bug in Clang that once fixed should have a pretty serious impact on Clang-compiled binary performance.
Alternatively, it may possibly be a weakness in the LLVM constant folding and propagation, which GCC does a lot of in the frontend to implement things like constexpr (and does far more than constexpr allows, which has been a problem for folks using GCC and then porting to more standards-conforming compilers). I'd be surprised if such a simple set of optimizations was the problem, but a weakness there does propagate down to almost every other optimization you perform, so that could be it.
Short version being that it looks like it should be a straight forward fix once the problem is identified, rather than some major architectural limitation or large set of missing features of Clang/LLVM.
You are confused, the DragonEgg benchmarks where done with '-fplugin-arg-dragonegg-enable-gcc-optzns' as declared on the benchmark information page (first page). This means that it enables GCC's plugin architecture to not only to use LLVM's optimization backend, but _also_ GCC's optimization backend. This is conceptually the 'best of both worlds' as it uses all optimizations from both LLVM _and_ GCC so good results are actually what one would expect, in practice though previous benchmarks have shown poor results so seeing good results from this is now very positive.
Again, since he passes the option '-fplugin-arg-dragonegg-enable-gcc-optzns' it enables the GCC optimization backend _along_ with LLVM's, so there's no mystery.
Can GCC optimise pure ASM code ?
No, and this is the reason I and others have called out Michael on how pointless it is to use x264 with assembly optimizations enabled for compiler benchmark tests.
All he has to do is to build the x264 package with './configure --disable-asm', and then benchmark but for some reason this is beyond his capability.

It's hard to know if these efforts are really going to pan out. Valve still hasn't presented a good reason to abandon the Windows platform and the number of people willing to forfeit the console experience in the living room for a Steam Machine is probably quite limited.
I could be wrong but so far their efforts definitely haven't knocked my socks off. The results are quite mediocre (to be generous) compared to what we have today on Windows. And the only support from inside the industry seems to be coming from a few indie devs.
It'd be nice to at least get a small Source 2 demo to show off what Linux can do with modern graphics. Instead we just have these very, very awful ports that seem to confirm a lot of the widespread suspicions about Linux weaknesses.
It seems like when Valve realized that they could make millions by simply culling off a portion of a virtual hat economy, their engineering talent went completely flat. Where the hell are the games? It's hard to get excited about a company that is merely an electronic store.
