First BioTrade Congress - Biodiversity: The life of the Green Economy
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
17 Jun 2012
Distinguished guests,
Ladies and gentlemen,
Good morning. It is a pleasure for me to welcome you on behalf of UNCTAD to the opening of the First BioTrade Congress: "Biodiversity - The Life of the Green Economy".
Biodiversity is the natural capital base for a sustainable and greener economy; its preservation and responsible exploitation offer humanity both ecological and economic benefits. Biodiversity components, both at the species and genetic levels, are a direct source of food, medicine, recreation and raw materials in general, some of which are consumed directly, while others are inputs to various industries.
As we seek to better balance growth and poverty-reduction with the conservation of the planet's biodiversity, the sustainable harvest and manufacture of biodiversity-based products and their trade can play a prominent role in the transition to a green economy. The current draft of the Rio+20 Summit outcome document duly reflects this role and aspiration.
Many Member States have been calling for the full implementation of the Convention on Biological Diversity's (CBD) objectives and the Aichi Targets in order to achieve progress on biodiversity preservation - an objective also identified by the Millennium Development Goals. Several Member States have insisted on the need to promote investment in this area to accelerate the transition to a green economy and provide incentives and support to private firms to develop green technology, products and services, including through the liberalisation of trade in environmental goods and services. UNCTAD has highlighted in its 2009 Trade and Development Report and its 2010 World Investment Report how transitioning to a green economy can be supported by government and international policies that promote new green growth models.
The responsible economic exploitation of biodiversity, and its contribution to inclusive growth and sustainable consumption and production patterns, is becoming increasingly visible worldwide. For example, looking at the market for bio-trade, domestic and international sales by businesses in this sector reached over US$ 2.3 billion in 2011, showing an annual growth rate of 14 per cent. Nevertheless, these figures still represent a small proportion of the estimated market potential for biodiversity products and services, which has been put at over US$ 140 billion. This potential will continue to be driven by many factors, including consumer preferences, but also by the integration of sustainability considerations into corporate and branding strategies.
Given their often large endowments of biodiversity, many developing countries are well positioned to take advantage of trade and investment opportunities which bio-trade activities offer. These opportunities are a potential source of jobs and incomes, export diversification and rural development. In 2010, bio-trade activities directly benefited more than 38'000 people worldwide including collectors, breeders, hunters, farmers and producers.
However, sustainability and market access in bio-trade are still hindered by a variety of factors, including non-tariff barriers, access to credit, and lack of financial and management capacities. In this regard, the consolidation and expansion of emerging biodiversity-based sectors still needs a great deal of attention, as well as financial and technical support from the international community.
Sixteen years ago, UNCTAD launched the BioTrade Initiative with the aim of promoting trade and investment in biodiversity as a means of furthering sustainable development and implementing the CBD's objectives. Products and services increasingly traded by beneficiaries of the program are used in the food, cosmetic, handicrafts, fashion, and ecotourism industries.
Since then, remarkable progress has been achieved by private actors and partners in embracing bio-trade concepts and principles as an integral part of their development strategies. The BioTrade Initiative is currently being implemented in 19 countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America and continues to grow. An example of this is the forthcoming Global UNCTAD/UNDP partnership on Bio-trade and Post Conflict Reintegration and Livelihoods Recovery.
This first Bio-trade Congress is evidence of the progress made so far and of the broad scope of bio-trade activities. It provides a platform for all stakeholders to share their experiences, lessons learned and the challenges faced in implementing sustainable practices and guiding private actors and governments in building "greener" economic sectors. It also offers a chance to establish mechanisms for further cooperation in implementing sustainable practices in biodiversity-based sectors and corporate strategies.
In opening this congress, we at UNCTAD would like to express our deep appreciation to the sustained support of the Swiss State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO) and other partners to UNCTAD's BioTrade Initiative. I would also like to thank the contribution of the General Secretariat of the Andean Community (SGCAN), the International Trade Centre (ITC), the Colombian Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development, the Natural Resources Stewardship Circle (NRSC), the Peruvian Ministry of Environment, PhytoTrade Africa, the Union of Ethical BioTrade, Yves Rocher and the Bureau of Crisis Prevention and Recovery of UNDP for their support in the organization of this meeting.
This wide base of support demonstrates the interest in the commercial success of bio-trade, and the recognition of the role that bio-trade can play in the growth of the green economy in developing countries. It is my hope that this event generates ideas and examples that help make a concrete contribution to the follow-up to Rio+20.
Thank you.

TAHOE/TRUCKEE, Calif. - Severe weather can be alarming and hazardous for drivers. The best defense is not to venture out on the roads during stormy weather, but if you must drive, use caution, common sense, and always be prepared.
The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) District 10 advises motorists to prepare for the storm season. Harsh weather can bring high winds, heavy rains, and snow and ice in higher elevations. Winter weather and road conditions can change rapidly. Drivers should have their vehicle winterized. Important items to check on your vehicle are: brakes, coolant, tires, windshield wipers, defroster, heater, and exhaust systems. If possible have your vehicle checked by a professional mechanic.
Thick as pea soup
In California's Central Valley dense tule fog can blanket the area's highways, especially November through January. This fog can catch you by surprise, as it hangs in the low-lying valley bottoms and can cause dramatic changes in visibility. When encountering fog, follow these tips:
• Reduce speed to allow for safe stopping distance
• Drive with headlights on low beam, never drive with just parking or fog lights.
• Use extreme caution when crossing traffic or busy intersections.
• Lower your window and listen for traffic you cannot see.
• Use windshield wipers and the defroster to improve visibility.
• Be patient. Do not pass lines of traffic.
• If visibility diminishes to the point that you no longer feel safe driving, do not stop in the traffic lanes.
• Attempt to utilize the closest off-ramp so you can stop at a safe location and wait for the fog to clear.
Carry chains
All vehicles, including those with four-wheel drive or snow tires should carry correctly sized chains when traveling during snowy weather. Highway signs will indicate if chains are required. If motorists do not have chains in their possession, they may not be allowed to proceed and risk being cited or fined.
Motorists should check road conditions frequently. For State operated highways this can be done in a number of ways. Visit the Caltrans website at www.dot.ca.gov to get road conditions, weekly road reports and press releases by district; check information through the automated California Highway Information Network (CHIN) by telephoning 1-800-427-7623 (1-800-GAS-ROAD) and following the prompts; motorists can also tune to the Caltrans Highway Advisory Radio (HAR), which broadcasts road conditions on low frequency radio transmitters located along some mountain highways.
During winter storm conditions, motorists should anticipate unexpected delays and closures. Caltrans strives to reduce the frequency and the length of unplanned closures on state highways. During major storms when traffic flow is heavy, Caltrans may meter traffic to ease congestion.
The following tips will assist you in making your winter driving experience safe and pleasant:
• Allow enough time for your trip.
• Be observant of everything going on around you.
• Remember - black ice is nearly invisible!
• Keep your fuel tank full and your windows clear.
• Drive as conditions permit - slower acceleration, slower speeds, and slower braking in winter conditions.
• Reduce speed and leave extra room between you and the vehicle in front of you.
• Use headlights, not just parking or fog lights in foggy, rainy, and snowy weather. Also remember that you must have your lights on when using your wipers.
• If you get stuck, stay with your vehicle and wait for help.
• If visibility diminishes to the point that you no longer feel safe driving, do not stop in the traffic lanes.
For the safety of workers and other motorists, please Slow For the Cone Zone. Visit www.dot.ca.gov.

hey guys,
After you scribe your marks in your hulls , is there anything you do to keep them showing after you paint it. I had painted my hull first, then scribed it. Basically what I have is a black hull with almost white looking panel lines on it. I was wondering if any more coats of paint would fill it in and hide the marks, thanks Jeff Jones

Captain Jayneway (Club Member) stayed Aug 2014 This review is for Bude I received a friendly welcome on arrival, the management were helpful and I was happy with my powered tent pitch which was a good size. However... The sewage disposal unit in the middle of the site meant a constant waft of waste was never far away. The site is right next to a main road and although I do appreciate it was bank holiday and probably busier than usual, there was a constant hum of traffic zooming past day and night. There was no dedicated outdoor area for children, so I found I had kids running around right outside my tent which I found irritating. While I was there the water pump broke in the shower block, which meant there was no hot water and no hot showers. The consequence of this was that the entire population of the camp site only had one decent shower in the disabled room to use between us. Queuing up for this in the rain was not a happy experience. The site was not near a beach and options for heading out on foot were limited. I found it a bit dull on an evening, because if I wanted to go for a walk, I had to get in the car to do it. On the plus side, the position of the site, on the Atlantic highway, meant it was easy to get out and explore in the car. The site in itself, was a good non commercial site, with good sized pitches on the powered section. If you're watching your pennies, then this place is reasonable value for money, but don't expect any luxuries.

Evelyn (Club Member) stayed Jun 2014 This review is for Bude We were greeted warmly by the site staff and were given a choice of pitches in the field close to the main road. Others have mentioned the road noise - Yes it was noisy at times but this didn't spoil our stay. Being around 8 miles from Bude was not a problem for us, and my husband could walk to the shop about a mile from the site for his morning paper. The facilities were very clean, but could do with some improvements - the showers were small and meant water often escaped the cubicle and made the floor very slippy. If you are there on a Wednesday, the fish and chips are worth having. There were excellent and reasonably priced. We will return to the site again but would suggest it is a good site to use more as a stop-over one - the club needs to invest in this site's facilities I believe.

Best Uses
I haven't taken this item out of the box yet, but I have another just like it I've used for many years. It makes great compost quickly. My only complaint is that it is difficult to get the finished compost out. The opening is too close to the ground to dump directly into a wheelbarrow or cart. You need to shovel the compost out one shovelful at a time.

This is actually an update to my review (Emily from League City, TX) posted on 5/15/2014.
The metal frame on our first tumbler started to get wobbly in the last 30 days or so. The frame is directly on the ground/grass and after 5 years in coastal Texas it has corroded sufficiently to be unstable. The grass had actually grown over the frame, increasing ground contact and water hold up.
A friend of ours fabricated a replacement wooden stand as shown in the picture. The plastic tumbler and metal internal rod are still in good condition.

Best Uses
- Compost
- Reducing Kitchen Waste
I bought one of these in 2009 and another maybe one year later. They are holding up well after 5 years and work great. The only signs of age are rust on the support legs. This year (2014) we added some drain holes to one of our bins with a drill since our compost is mostly kitchen scraps (greens) and tends to stay too wet. We are also adding the coir (Eco-Coir Potting Mix sold by Gardener's) as a source of browns in addition to the cardboard egg cartons we normally add.
These keep any "earthy" odors down and the creatures out (except gnats and fruit flies). The only time we had a problem with attracting animals was when we left a bin open to dry out a bit and forgot about it with a garden rake propped up against the supports. Combined with the unusually cold winter here in Texas, the rake provided a nice ramp for rodents to access the compost and pull out orange peels, etc. We discovered our error and haven't had problems since.
These are great tumblers and easy to turn except when very full and wet (and then they don't aerate well anyway). They don't get hot enough to destroy seeds so be careful with weeds. We had some delicious volunteer cantaloupes from composted grocery store produce.

- Kitchen Waste Weeds
- Leaves Small Stems
I like these composters-they work. This size is a compromise-any bigger and it would be impossible to turn, but in a cold climate, it takes several months for compost to finish, so I found I really need two: one actively composting, and another that I am adding new materials to. I purchased the second about a year after the first, and both are holding up well after 3-4 yrs. I had to use a file to make one of the doors slide easily due to a casting imperfection-a minor nuisance. But, the doors slide well in all weather, unless frozen shut, and then a small sledge hammer does the trick. I just had to make the first repair-the 2.5 inch screws that hold the axle onto the frame corroded and broke. It cost only $1.02 for two screws & nuts, but I had to dump out the contents to make the drum light enough to re-assemble on the frame!
One caution: black widow spiders love to colonize the outside hand-hold slots, and sometimes, also live inside, so wear gloves when turning drum, adding waste, or removing compost,

- Incremental Composting
This was a gift which I've had only for about three weeks, but so far, it's terrific! I particularly like the fact that although the materials are sturdy, the unit is movable to where I am working in the garden at the moment. I may be using it in a different way than its designated purpose, but I believe it will do the job. The capacity is more than adequate for our kitchen scraps and garden clippings.
- Was this a gift?:
- Yes
Best Uses
I love this composter but the frame has completely rusted and has begun to break up along the bottom after several years of use. Disappointing because the composter itself is perfect for my use. I would only recommend it if it was enhanced with a weather resistant frame.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
- Durable Plastic
- drips and leaks
Best Uses
- Kitchen Waste
I have been adding our kitchen waste to the present compost barrel on a regular basis, until it occurred to me that the composting process will never end if I keep adding fresh stuff. So I ordered another barrel from the same supplier in Burlington, a fancier type (made in Canada) that rotates around an axle hanging on a frame. I was planning to set it on the deck conveniently to the back door, so it would be easy to feed daily. However, the stupid design has air/drain/vent holes on all of the extreme outside circumferential projections, so that the thing won't hold water or fine material – it just pours out the bottom-most holes. When rotated, there are always half-inch holes at the very bottom. When I dumped in the water, obviously necessary to start the process, it naturally dribbled right out, leaching and carrying all those valuable plant nutrients with it, all in a nasty brown staining stream. Plus coffee grounds and anything in bits smaller than an inch or so across. Good thing the deck is already brown, but what a stinkin' mess! I had to find a dowel of suitable diameter and cut it up into a lot of short lengths to plug those outer holes. There are still air vent holes in the sidewalls to do the venting part of the job. Rotating the barrel still tends to allow dripping around the access hatch, plus the powdery stuff still gets out the side holes, so I had to put it down on the slab below the deck after all. I read a few reviews about competitive products, and many complained about flimsy construction and cracking plastic. This is sturdy enough for the job, but I wonder how corrosion-free the frame will be after a winter or two.

Digital Mammography
Medical Centers Imaging Department has just completed its migration from the world of film photography to that of digital with the installation of cutting-edge digital mammography equipment.
Imaging Department technologists began using the new Selenia Dimensions mammography machine manufactured by industry leader Hologic Inc. in March. The $300,000 machine was purchased with the assistance of an $83,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Agricultures Rural Development and $82,000 donated by the Rhea County community.
Digital mammography is not new to the market but now with improved technology, Scott Miller, Rhea Medical Imaging director, said he felt it was time to get on board.
This unit takes digital mammography to the next level. The system we are now installing is two generations ahead of other systems in this region, he said.
Miller said he expects the machinethe latest available in the world of mammographyto reduce patient exam time for mammogram appointments from 30 minutes to 15.
Theres no comparison to how much quicker you can do it with digital technology, he said.
With Rhea Medicals new digital machine, each image is displayed on a monitor next to the machine in less than five seconds. No film to process. No uncomfortable waiting on behalf of the patient while a technologist leaves to fetch an image.
As soon as the images are saved, a radiologist is able to view them immediately, Miller added. On analog (film based) machines, once a mammogram is taken of a patients breast, the technologist has to step out of the room and wait two minutes for each of four images to process onto film, Miller said, which can lead to more anxiety for an eager patient.
Were decreasing the anxiety to the patient because the wait time is less, Miller said. The tech never leaves the room.
The digital mammography unit also gives the radiologists the ability to enhance contrast and zoom in on a portion of the breast image, improving the accuracy of their reports. Because the images are digital, they can be transmitted almost immediately to the patients physician or another medical center, and patients can be given a CD copy within minutes.
After just a few days of using the digital machine, veteran Imaging Technologist Edie Shaver said patients can tell a difference.
Patients are excited because they know its something new, she said. To me its unbelievable. We pride ourselves on offering great service. We feel this will allow us to improve even further.
But the brand new machine isnt just faster like a digital camera. Imagine buying a digital camera that can soon take pictures in 3-D.
In February the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved a new method already widely used in other countries tomosynthesis. Much like a photograph, traditional mammography only captures a 2-D image of a patients breast. But tomosynthesis allows doctors and patients to get a three-dimensional view of tissue.
Rhea Medicals new equipment comes ready-made for the new technique. Soon local patients can expect to take advantage of it at Rhea Medical Center, according to Miller and Rhea Medical Center CEO Ken Croom.
Only one other hospital in East Tennessee has equipment as up-to-date as Rhea Medicals.
Its here, Croom said. You dont have to drive long distances to reach an imaging center with the highest technology. You have it here in Rhea County. Its yours.
Rhea Medical Center has had its sight set on the equipment for nearly two years. With a concerted effort between hospital administration, the board of directors, the Rhea Medical Center Healthcare Foundation and the Rhea County community, enough funds were raised to purchase the digital unit this spring.
Croom said as soon as Chief Radiologist Dr. Lebron Lackey pinpointed the need for the equipment, the hospital decided to get the very best technology on the market.
We wanted to have it for Rhea County, he said. [We decided:] Lets not buy last years technology. Lets buy next years technology.
Were on the leading edge of equipment, Miller echoed.
Technologist Jeannie Martin said even though the machinery is a bit different, Rhea Medicals healthcare professionals already know how to utilize it well.
There is no learning curve for us, she said. Its the same positioning and graphics; its just a different machine.
But even with a top-notch camera, great photography must come from a great photographer. Technologist Shaver said the fact that Rhea Medical is one of the first to have the equipment is only an added benefit to the unbeatable care that Rhea Medical Center patients already receive.
Theyre not going to find this anywhere else in southeast Tennessee, she said. How fortunate we are to have this and the great radiologists we have here.
Miller agreed.
It just complements everything else we havethe great radiologists and the great technologists.

Alright, just for the record, there is to be no pornographic subject matter on this board. No pornographic talk, no pornographic fav 5, no pornographic material. This is a Clippers/NBA forum where people come to talk Clippers/NBA, not things one might consider offensive.
I have no problem with people discussing that kind of stuff...Just as long as it isn't here. There are forums that cater to that stuff and everyone there enters at their own risk. CTB isn't one of those type of sites so please refrain from bringing in conversation one might find offensive.
Awwww come on Moderator let us have our "guy talk"!
I have no problem with that, just google Porn Forums and have at it....
Okay I will thanks Moderator. But if you had to choose to have sexual intercourse with 1 clipper who would it be?
^^^ smh...
I never had that thought come up so don't expect me to play along with the "you tell me so I can tell you" stuff. Homey don't play that.
Thanks for enforcing this rule, Joe.
relax joey i'm not playing a "game" with you, just pulling your chain. and the best way to relax is....nevermind
Geez what kind of sick people discuss sexual content on here, a Clippers forum? Wow, it seems like worldbfree needs to be put in his place.. This is a disgrace to CTB and Clipper nation..
PS Thanks Clipper*Joe for putting an end to that nonsense
Deleted by moderator
Please refrain from name-calling and be respectful.
The Fine Line Between Moderation and Censorship:
The First Amendment to the US Constitution gives us the "freedom of speech", of course with certain bylaws. For instance, I would not be protected by the First Amendment if I were to falsely report an impending terrorist attack on Los Angeles that causes a riot (a la season 2 of Curb Your Enthusiasm, but I digress). Such an unwarranted claim would certainly cause panic, distress, confusion, and perhaps accidents/violence. However, If a simple post or comment I type or speak presents no "clear and present danger" (as famously explained in 1919s Schenck v. United States), then that comment should clearly be allowed.
This is why I question clipper*joe's deletion of not one but two of my posts. Look, I understand that talking about adult films may or may not be a popular thing to discuss on a male-oriented website such as CTB (unfortunately it appears we will never find out, although I would guess it would be a popular topic). Yet, it seems like it would be easier to let the post simply die off due to lack of replies, rather than delete/censor them and not allow the public (ie CTB members) to decide whether they find it intriguing or not. As I foreshadowed in the previous paragraph, my posts did not present a "clear and present danger" to other CTB members, and thus I do not believe was justly removed.
In all honesty, I understand that clipper*joe has to moderate this site (which is probably harder than any of us can imagine) and that it is important to keep the comments fairly clean because youngsters and sponsors are involved. Yet, I believe my earlier posts were not glaringly filthy, and to be censored was unmerited.
To my dismay, I now find that I have received additional moderator sanctions: not being able to post my own topics on CTB. This issue has now markedly crossed over from "moderation" to "censorship". I have been blacklisted like a 1950s American Communist (which I will point out, was also unconstitutional). To not be able to post topics has in effect segregated me from my fellow CTB members, in that I do not have the same privileges as others on this forum.
In conclusion: clipper*joe, I know we have both agreed and disagreed on many subjects on here. Thats ok, thats what it is like to be a passionate fan. I honor and respect your enthusiasm for the Clips and for this site. Granting all this, I behoove you to remove this makeshift "ban" that has been placed on my account. In the future, if my comments or posts are deemed inappropriate or unpopular, let my fellow CTB members be the first judge. In front of everyone on this forum, do not tacitly censor my ability to be a full-fledged member of this great website and utilize my First Amendment rights - because if this route is taken, the respect you will lose as moderator will outweigh whatever respect I have lost over "offensive" posts.
Thank you & go Clips!
I deleted the post, not clipper*joe. I raised the issue of appropriateness because it was not related to the Clippers or to basketball, the primary topics this forum. This really isn't a "male-oriented" website, it's a sports-oriented website. Putting aside the idea of relevance, there was nothing lewd about your post, but pornography topics are still out of place here because there are members who are underage, to say nothing of those who may find pornography offensive.
You argue censorship and the Red Scare, to which I counter self-righteous entitlement and hyperbole. I also find it ironic that you would complain about being called out publicly when these perceived issues (restrictions or whatever, I don't know) could have been privately messaged to clipper*joe himself, instead of bringing more attention to it, trying to make yourself out to be a martyr.
Foremost: congrats on 3000 posts. thats a lot of dedication.
To comment on your other two points:
to the first, I made sure to not break any CTB rules as outlined by David, and tried to keep things as clean as possible. As I said in what I addressed to clipper*joe, I would have preferred just letting my post die an honorable CTB death due to lack of comments, not censorship.
to the second, I do not understand where I came off with "self-righteous entitlement" - I did not once request anything besides equal ability to post comments and threads just like the rest of my fellow CTB members. This does not constitute anything beyond what other members are allowed to do, and thus I fail to see where my comments came across as "entitlement". Further, you may find it "ironic" to discuss this openly, but anything I am willing to say to clipper*joe privately can also be said publicly. I felt it was necessary to have this discussed transparently so that other CTB members (like yourself) can chime in. Also, using your logic, the moderator should have not created a thread for this, but instead should have privately messaged me. Lastly, this is not a quest to "be a martyr" but merely point out what I felt was an overreaction.
to the second, I do not understand where I came off with "self-righteous entitlement" - I did not once request anything besides equal ability to post comments and threads just like the rest of my fellow CTB members. This does not constitute anything beyond what other members are allowed to do, and thus I fail to see where my comments came across as "entitlement".
The issue of entitlement comes from equating moderation to censorship, rather than considering that you just maybe, without intending to, crossed some lines of inappropriateness, as your recent thread did.
The irony is you complain about public -though tacit- censure ("In front of everyone on this forum, do not tacitly censor my ability to be a full-fledged member of this great website and utilize my First Amendment rights...") when your complaints could have been handled both privately and tacitly.
clipper*joe made a public announcement to all members about pornographic topics being out of place in this forum. Your response within said thread (mistakenly) calls out clipper*joe for deleting your thread, and goes on to warn about the dangers of censorship and the first amendment and so on, using yourself as an example.
I think the mods here prefer to give the benefit of the doubt. I don't keep track of everyone's posts, so I don't really know your history, and I really don't feeling like slogging through your posts. If the mods have restricted your posting, I can only assume it's because of repeated issues.
Suprised that topics like that actually come up on a clipper or even NBA board. The off-season must be at its slowest point right now
Right . . . When our founding fathers drafted the First Amendment to the Constitution, I'm quite sure it was with the intent to someday support the right of someone to bring up porn on a sports related internet message board. No doubt.
LMAO!!! somebody actually made a thread about porno? wtf?
when people say "lets be mature and talk about content like that" thing is when talking about sexual content with other guys.. its usuallly not mature so i feel were u guys are comin from.. and corpse.. out of all the things to talk about u gotta talk about girls u like to see... its some thing u can talk to with urself...
oww and WTF
lol wow who brought up a thread on CTB about porn? probably some faker fan who cant get some
Agreed. Also, the constitution was not written with the intent that people disregard using common sense so that the government has to control everything. Come on people, USE COMMON SENSE! You know what's appropriate.
Furthermore, this is a Clipper site. I come here to read Clipper news and it's very frustrating and time wasting to have to wade through all the crud that y'all post here.
I'm still waiting for an explanation as to why I am not allowed to post new topics on CTB. Frankly, this pseudo-purgatory that my account has been placed under is rather ridiculous.
So if someone likes to talk about porn they are assumed a "faker fan"?
good point, this makes us clipper fans seem like we are anti-women and anti-sex....not the best combo
The first amendment right does not reach into a private, exclusive, or specific entity. That is where guidelines and rules trump the first amendment. You follow the rules or you don't play. Furthermore, the 1st amendment right doesn't extend to the world wide web.
Under the first amendment, you are able to have free speech but not all speech is protected. Your rights haven't been trampled on, all we did was take down what we found improper under the site rules. Your subject was not a subject related to sports....That's the bottom line.
Just like I wouldn't go to a NFL football forum to talk golf, you shouldn't bring unrelated stuff to a Clippers discussion forum. That tends to get members mad. People seek forums to find specific topics they have a passion for, not to shoot the breeze about limitless topics. Message boards are specific, that's why they have a forum for just about any topic imaginable.
Over dramatic much? Do you know what blacklisted means? You haven't been blacklisted, you just decided to cross the line with a topic that isn't discussed here. People come here to talk Clippers, not porn stars.
You haven't been banned. You haven't been restricted, all we did was take a thread down that isn't supposed to be here.
The last thing I want to tell you is that you do not have any first amendment rights while on the world wide web.
Look at this way:
This is considered a home for a lot of people, including me. And if you were in my home and brought that same topic to discuss, I would warn you that if you continue, I will throw you out. If you persisted, I would throw you out and you could NOT throw out any first amendments right stuff cause it's my home, my rules, my guidelines. Well, this is a home that has rules and guidelines. You can't expect to do what you want and hide behind a document that doesn't stretch far enough to cover the web.
Just stay on point and make better judgments next time...
There are 5 things I can't live without
The Clippers
Ralph Lawler's voice
The Internet
Prescription Drugs
why am i not allowed to post threads then?
Clipper Joe can we talk about sexual related material if it pertains to the Clippers?
Not sure. Neither Journeyman, or I have access to limit something like that. What are you getting when you try?
Was the title not clear enough for ya?
lol obviously talking about sex is a soft spot for you Joey, I'm done talking about it now
It says only moderators are allowed to post new topics.
haha sweet.. idk about porn being second and lawlers voice at 3.. are they somehow related!
Not a soft spot but let's just say I have consideration for all here, not just one person's obsession.
I'm sorry I couldn't be here to moderate while all this was happening.. I was at a weekend camp and didn't see the threads. But honestly, even if it's freedom of speech, you're using David's site- it's his bandwidth you are creating by making posts, he's the one paying to be able to keep this site online. So if he (and his moderators.. whom he has given power) deem it inappropriate to post things like that, then it's not allowed.
I'm completely on their side obviously.. There's plenty of underage users on this site, including lurkers and guests.. I don't think they should be allowed to see things like that. Even YouTube- where you can post videos as much as you want- doesn't allow obscene videos. And the ones that aren't against the rules and yet are still inappropriate? You have to log in and have an account over 18 years old to view. It's that simple.. Even on other major sites, stuff like that isn't allowed. Why would it be allowed on a Clipper fan site?

I've built it, installed it. It still sucks, and there are no performance improvements.
Phoronix: KDE 4.3.0 RC2 Brings Fewer Changes
Just a week after the release of the KDE 4.3 release candidate, a second release candidate has emerged from the Gran Canaria Desktop Summit. KDE 4.3 Release Candidate 2 incorporates fewer changes than earlier development releases, as development winds down for the final release of KDE 4.3.0 later this month. The KDE 4.3.0 RC2 announcement can be read at KDE.org...
I've built it, installed it. It still sucks, and there are no performance improvements.
If you dont have GPU accelerated desktop you will never see performance improvements, if you do, it is faster than gnome/gtk.
And just trolling wont help, what does "suck"?
I use Qt on xfbdev (on netbook) and I get 4 time more FPS than GTK apps because Qt can redraw only part of the windows and instead of the whole screen like Gtk. Clutter can do that, but can't work on fbdev (but nobody care about fbdev anyway).
You just have to use xfbdev instead of fbdev (the port to fbdev is dead), it will load as fast, use as much memory and Qt will be 4 time faster than GTK.
But about the speed, just enable GPU windows drawing, if it is slower than gnome, then it is your fault, not KDE. If you talk about resize speed, it is because KDE3 and Gnome use an hack to send more redraw event to windows, Qt4 does not support the hack (but 4.6 will) making it seem slower, while it is only because the WM send less request.
Qt code quality is exelent, Object oriented code is cleaner than C (it is almost the only good point I can find to OOP). GTK/GnomeLib use some object oriented C, it is messy and hacky. Qt is not a UI toolkit, it is a programming framework with almost every feature you can expect from one.

I just pulled the packages in from the Kubuntu backports. It seems the plasma segfault is gone. Now I can finally move to kde 4.3 (from gnome)

Pruning is a perfect chore for late-winter and early spring because most trees and shrubs are dormant. What's more, it's the time of year when there are few gardening tasks on your list.
In summer, most berries demand nothing more than picking. But when it comes to raspberries, some pruning sets the stage for bountiful berries again next year.

Strong ratings are not indicative of positive fund performance.
Investors should carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of any Virtus Mutual Fund before investing. The prospectus and summary prospectus contains this and other information about the fund. Please contact your financial representative, call 1-800- 243-4361 or visit www.virtus.com to obtain a current prospectus and/or summary prospectus. You should read the prospectus and/or summary prospectus carefully before you invest or send money.
Performance data quoted represents past results. Past performance is no guarantee of future results and current performance may be higher or lower than the performance shown. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate, so your shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.
Average annual total return is the annual compound return for the indicated period. It reflects the change in share price and the reinvestment of all dividends and capital gains. NAV returns do not include the effect of any applicable sales charges. POP and w/CDSC returns include the effect of maximum applicable sales charges.
Returns for periods of less than one year are cumulative total returns.
1 Yields/Distributions: Distribution Yield (at NAV) is calculated by (a) annualizing the latest distribution for fixed income funds or funds less than 1 year old (b) summing all distributions over the preceding 12 months for all other funds, and dividing the NAV on the last business date of the period. SEC Yield represents the net investment income earned by a fund over a 30-day period, expressed as an annual percentage rate based on the fund's public offering share price at the end of the 30-day period. Gross SEC Yield represents the yield if there were no expense reimbursements.
2 Distribution History: Distributions are represented on a cash basis and may be reclassified at year end for tax purposes. The Fund will send you a Form 1099-DIV for the calendar year that will tell you how to report these distributions for federal income tax purposes. STCG: Short Term Capital Gain, LTCG: Long Term Capital Gain
3 Risk Statistics: R2 is a statistical measure that represents the percentage of a fund or security's movements that can be explained by movements in a benchmark index. Beta is a quantitative measure of the volatility of a given portfolio to the overall market. Alpha is a risk adjusted measure of an investment's excess return relative to a benchmark. A positive Alpha indicates that the investment produced a return greater than expected for the risk (as measured by Beta) taken. Standard Deviation measures variability of returns around the average return for an investment fund. Higher standard deviation suggests greater risk. Risk Statistics are calculated using 36 monthly returns.
4 Characteristics: For Equity Funds:Trailing P/E: Per-share stock price divided by the latest12-months Earnings per Share; Price/Cash Flow: Per-share stock price divided by the per-share operating cash flow; Price/Book: Per-share stock price divided by the latest 12-month per-share Book Value; 3-Year EPS Growth Rate: Average of earnings per share growth for latest 3-year period. The 3-Year EPS Growth Rate is not a forecast of the fund's performance.
4 Characteristics: For Fixed Income Funds: Duration represents the interest rate sensitivity of a fixed income fund. For example, if a fund's duration is five years, a 1% increase in interest rates would result in a 5% decline in the fund's price. Similarly, a 1% decline in interest rates would result in a 5% gain in the fund's price.
Morningstar Disclosures:
For each fund with at least a three-year history, Morningstar calculates a Morningstar Rating™ based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for a variation in a fund's monthly performance (including the effects of sales charges, loads, and redemption fees), placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The top 10% of funds in an investment category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars, and the bottom 10% receive 1 star. The Overall Morningstar Rating for a fund is derived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with its 3-, 5-, and 10-year (if applicable) Morningstar Rating metrics. Ratings are for the A Shares as shown only; other share classes bear different fees and expenses, which affect performance.
Load-waived A share star ratings do not include any front-end sales load and are intended for those investors who have access to such purchase terms (e.g., plan participants of a defined contribution plan). Not all A share mutual funds for which Morningstar calculates a load-waived A share star rating may actually waive their front-end sales load. Therefore, Morningstar strongly encourages investors to contact their investment professional to determine whether they are eligible to purchase the A share without paying the front load.

My experience was if I let Linux (OpenSuSE 11.4, various Ubuntu, Fedora 15/16) or WIndows handle the disk automagically then everything was fine as long as it was a single-boot install.
Dual boot Windows + Linux just did not work. I got pretty deep into it - I could manually install either, but not both.

Maryland court case centers on damages allowed to pet owners
UPDATED 6:13 AM MDT Aug 02, 2013A Frederick County couple is at the center of what's believed to be a first of its kind civil court case in Maryland involving what pet owners can collect in damages if something happens to their pets.
Video TranscriptGOOD EVENING, EVERYONE. A COUPLE IS AT THE CENTER OF WHAT IS BELIEVED TO BE THE FIRST OF ITS KIND CIVIL WART CASE IN MARYLAND. IT IS -- CIVIL COURT CASE IN MARYLAND. IT IS ABOUT WHAT PET OWNERS CAN COLLECT. THE QUESTION IS SHOULD PET OWNERS RECEIVE A EMOTIONAL STRESS DAMAGES AFTER THEIR PET IS INTENTIONALLY KILLED OR INJURED? UNLIKELY OPPONENT? ANIMAL GROUPS. IT IS STILL TOUGH TO TALK ABOUT FOR SANDRA JENKINS. I RAN OUT THE DOOR. THIS SHOWS A SHERIFF'S FUD AT THE HOME -- DEPUTY AT THE HOME LOOKING FOR THE SON WHO FAILED TO APPEAR. THEN YOU SEE A CHOCOLATE LAB , TAIL WAGGING, APPROACH THE DEPUTY. MOMENTS LATER THE OFFICER SHOOTS BRANDY. THE JENKINS SUED. THE JERRY SAID THE DEPUTY -- THE JURY SAID THE DEPUTY INTENTIONALLY SHOT RANDY. THEY REWARDED DAMAGES FOR EMOTIONAL STRESS. WE TREAT THEM LIKE A PART OF THE FAMILY. MARYLAND LAW ALLOWS PET OWNERS TO RECEIVE ONLY $7,500 FOR REASONABLE VETERINARY EXPENSES, BUT THE LAW SAYS NOTHING SPECIFIC ABOUT EMOTIONAL DAMAGES. THE ATTORNEY SUCCESSFULLY ARGUED THE OWNERS WERE ALSO DAMAGED. A FEW WEEKS AGO NINE PROMINENT ANIMAL GROUPS INCLUDING THE MARYLAND KENNEL CLUB WROTE A LETTER TO THE COURT OF APPEALS URGING THE COURT TO REVERSE THE RULING. THEY SAID, IF THE RULING STANDS AND OWNERS CAN RECEIVE EMOTIONALLY BASED DAMAGES, THEN THE COST OF PET SERVICES WILL GO UP TO ACCOMMODATE THIS NEW LIABILITY. UNLESS A DOCTOR IS GOING TO SHOOT ON PURPOSE, THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH MEDICAL MALPRACTICE. BECAUSE OF THE APPEAL THEY HAVE NOT COLLECTED THE REWARD. MEANWHILE, THEY SPENT THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS ON MEDICATIONS AND BLOOD TEST TO KEEP BRANDY ALIVE. ANYONE WHO IS AN ANIMAL LOVER WOULD NOT SAY NO ONE SHOULD GET EMOTIONAL DAMAGES.

How to understand building and planning regulations
What are planning and building controls? Why do they exist? Can you deal with them yourself or is it best to ask a specialist? As with any task, you can decide for yourself when you know exactly what's involved.
First of all, it's important to understand what planning and building regulations are. It's easy to think of them as restrictive, bureaucratic tools put in place purely to thwart your ambitions. However, they're essential safety mechanisms which have been designed to protect you, your neighbours and the local environment.
The regulatory bodies will give you permission to carry out your plans unless there are very good reasons not to - in which case they must explain their decision. And if you disagree, you have the right to appeal against it.

"Oh, yeah, E? Why?"
They're too much work. I don't want to have to do that much work.
"Well, they are a lot of work. But I think they're worth it."
I don't want to work, remember? I toooold you: I'm going to live with you forever and you can always buy me things so I don't have to work.
"Yes, I do remember that you said that."
Can I have another muffin?
"No, love."
"Because one is a treat. But two is unhealthy."
But I ate all my fruit today!
"You can have another muffin tomorrow."
Oh, mannn! Mommy, when I have kids I'm ALWAYS going to let them have two muffins.
"Well, I hope those are some really healthy muffins."
"Wait. I thought you weren't having kids?"
Wellll...okayyy...I'll have kids...because I want somebody to be able to have two muffins.
But since I'll live with you, you'll just take care of them for me.

:p *TIP* Most of you have an old inner tube lying around, or can get a non-repairable one, at no cost, from a bicycle repair shop. I can list several several hobby uses of these old tubes.
1. Punch a hole and make custom washers to be used under machine screws to waterproof screw holes made in your WTC. end cap or lid.
2. Cut 1/4-1/2" cross sections and make sturdy rubber bands, useful for holding AA batteries in battery cases.
3. Cut off the valve and modify for use as a vent valve, operated by a servo wheel cam. Or use in end cap to act as pressure relief valve.
How many other uses can you think of? Does this remind you of practical uses for other easily obtainable or surplus items?

Bobby, Bobby, Bobby.......I hadn't even thought of that clever little scheme until you said it! I need to think more devilishly!How in the heck could you monitor for this type of scam??!!! Maybe they contract with the NSA!! John K
it make sense now why they asked for the following on my project. A documented, incremental progress from the first spark all the way to the where you are today. Napkin sketches, photographs, handmade prototypes, whiteboard user flow diagrams, these are the things that tell the story of a product conceived, designed, prototyped, and eventually manufactured by creators and their partners. Basically, tell backers your story.
It wasn't a problem, I had kept all my prototypes, saving them for MPO museum

Ministar travel guitars - it's all in the neck
Bob Wiley's Ministar dispenses with the traditional guitar body, which adds little or nothing to its tone, and instead offers an odd-looking neck with pickups
Guitarists who travel a lot and want to take an instrument along for the ride - but don't want to risk damaging that prized vintage Strat - might find themselves turning in the direction of a scaled down stand-in. Such solutions come in many different shapes and sizes - from full size instruments with parts that collapse (like Daniel Mapp's Jetson travel guitar concept) to models with a shortened neck and small bodies (such as Martin's Backpacker) to strange-looking beasts with tuners positioned in a hollowed out section of the body (like the Traveler's Speedster). Bob Wiley's Ministar guitars, though, are essentially a bunch of necks with pickups. While there is a model with a shortened 19-inch scale neck, most of the odd-looking electric, acoustic and bass guitars sport full length necks and, says Wiley, play and sound just like the big brand models, but at a fraction of the price - and a fraction of the size.

Welcome to the forums.
For a new installation, may I ask why you chose FC4 over FC5 or FC6?
Did you update the kernel after installing FC4? If not, download an updated kernel (and kernel-devel) and then transfer it to the machine followed by installing the packages. After that, reboot and see if the device is then able to show up in system-config-networking.
