am/pm verses 24 hour time
SuSE 9.1 - KDE
How do you set the clock to show the standard am/pm time instead of the 24 hour military time it shows now? I've looked, searched, traveled to the ends of the Earth and have not found the answer. Someone has to know how to do this, I mean come on ---- I've just installed PCBSD on an old beatup computer and it does it automatically!!!!!!!! GEEEEEEZZZZZEEE Guys...... |
Are you using KDE or gnome? In KDE it should be under Control Center -> Regional. Just set it to your region and it should fix this.
Try this:
Right-click the clock -> Date & Time Format -> Select Register 'Time & Dates' -> Change 'Time Format' to 'pH:MM:SS AMPM'. Just a comment: Most of Europe uses what you call 'military time', not sure about the rest of the world that doesn't have english as native language. ;) |
Will give it a try - thanks ..........
How changing it for fluxbox?
I've been wanting to change the clock setting in flux myself, but have been unable to figure out how. |
All times are GMT -5. The time now is 05:39 PM. |

The Ringworld Engineers is a 1979 science fiction novel by Larry Niven. It is the first sequel to Niven's award-winning Ringworld and was nominated for both the Hugo and Locus Awards in 1981.[1]
In the introduction to the novel, Niven says that he never planned to write more than one Ringworld novel, but that he did so, in a large part, due to fan support. Firstly, the popularity of Ringworld resulted in a demand for a sequel. Secondly, many fans had identified numerous engineering problems in the Ringworld as described in the novel. A major problem being that the Ringworld, being a rigid structure, was not actually in orbit around the star it encircled and would eventually drift, resulting in the entire structure colliding with its sun and disintegrating. In the novel's introduction, Niven says that MIT students attending the 1971 World Science Fiction Convention chanted, "The Ringworld is unstable! The Ringworld is unstable!" Niven says that one reason he wrote The Ringworld Engineers was to address these engineering problems.
Plot summary[edit]
The plot of the novel centers on the instability of the Ringworld. The recently deposed Hindmost, leader of the Puppeteers, abducts the human Louis Wu (who has become a wirehead) and kzinti Chmeee (previously known as "Speaker-to-Animals"). Both were part of the Ringworld exploration in the first novel. The Hindmost hopes to acquire Ringworld technology that he hopes will help him reacquire his position as leader.
In the course of the novel, Louis and Chmeee set forth in the Hot Needle of Inquiry on an exploration of the Ringworld in order to learn where the creators of the Ringworld may have built a control or repair system. In their travels they meet a number of the hominid species that have evolved on the Ringworld. They also learn more about the "maps" of various known space worlds that are located in one of the Ringworld's great oceans. These full-size maps include, among others, Kzin, Earth, and Mars.
It is on the Map of Mars that the party finds the Ringworld control room, located in a vast maze of rooms contained in the hollow space under the map. In order to create the rarefied atmosphere on Mars, the Map of Mars was built to an altitude 20 miles (32 km) above the main Ringworld surface creating a 1,120,000,000-cubic-mile (4.7×109 km3) cavity. The Control Room contains living space for thousands of Pak Protectors, as well as space to grow the "Tree-of-Life" plants to support this many Protectors. Other rooms in the cavity support such features as the "Meteor Defense System", which uses the superconductor grid embedded in the scrith foundation material to manipulate the magnetic field of the Ringworld's sun to create a solar flare; it uses this to generate a powerful gas laser, which is capable of destroying everything in its path.
In the course of finding the control room and saving the Ringworld, the party learns what became of Teela Brown, who had been left behind after the exploration twenty years earlier led by the Puppeteer, Nessus.
References to other Known Space works[edit]
Apart from the obvious references to the preceding novel Ringworld, The Ringworld Engineers also draws upon ideas elaborated in Niven's 1973 novel Protector for Teela Brown's ultimate fate.
Awards and nominations[edit]
Ringworld Engineers was nominated for both the 1981 Hugo[2] and Locus[1] Awards in the Novel Category.

Evolution and paleontology
The origin of birds, feathers, and avian flight have long been hotly debated. That birds evolved from reptilian ancestors is universally accepted, but did they evolve from thecodont reptiles or theropod dinosaurs? How and when did feathers evolve from the scaly reptilian integument? Did avian flight evolve from a terrestrial ancestor or an arboreal one? Such debates continue to be fueled by regular discoveries in China and Mongolia of remarkably preserved fossils from a critical period in avian evolution—the Early Cretaceous (145.5 million to 99.6 million years ago). The diversity of theropod dinosaurs, some with feathers, has greatly expanded our perspective of the evolution and early diversification of birds. Two major groups of early birds diversified dramatically in the Cretaceous Period: the Enantiornithines, an extinct subclass of birds; and Odontornithes, a primitive offshoot of the subclass Ornithurae that gave rise to modern birds at the end of the Cretaceous. Paleontologists now position Archaeopteryx, once thought to be a direct ancestor of birds, and several other fossil taxa at the base of the extinct enantiornithine lineage.
The origin of birds
The debate over the origin of birds centres on whether birds descended directly from thecodont reptiles about 230 million years ago (during the Triassic Period) or from a later lineage, the carnivorous theropod dinosaurs. This debate has been long-standing and divisive. At the beginning of the 21st century, the pendulum has swung decisively toward the theropod ancestor hypothesis—that today's birds are feathered dinosaurs. This hypothesis is supported by analyses of shared characteristics (synapomorphies) combined with improved samples of early bipedal theropods.
The origin of feathers
Feathers are complex and novel evolutionary structures. They did not evolve directly from reptilian scales, as once was thought. Current hypotheses propose that they evolved through an invagination of the epidermis around the base of a dermal papilla, followed by increasing complexity of form and function. They evolved before birds and even before avian flight. Thus, early feathers functioned in thermal insulation, communication, or water repellency, but not in aerodynamics and flight. Among extinct life-forms, feathers are no longer considered a unique and diagnostic characteristic of birds. Feathers with modern features were present in a variety of forms on a variety of theropod dinosaurs. At least nine Cretaceous dinosaurs had featherlike structures. The details of some are questionable, but some, such as those of Sinornithosaurus and other basal dromaeosaurs, bear a resemblance to modern pennaceous feathers. Feathered dinosaurs did not survive the end of the Cretaceous Period, but birds did, and then they flourished.
The origin of flight
Experts continue to debate whether flight evolved through gliding by an arboreal ancestral bird or through aerial launching by a running terrestrial ancestor. Historically these two hypotheses have been strongly linked to, respectively, the thecodont origin hypothesis and theropod origin hypothesis. The shift of opinion toward the theropod hypothesis, however, does not resolve this debate, since feathers on the forelimbs of early birds could have facilitated the early stages of flight through either mode. Precursors of an effective flight stroke of the forelimbs were present in terrestrial bipedal theropods. In either case, the evolution of avian flight required a decoupling of coordinated movements of the forelimbs and hind limbs. It also depended on new neural links between forelimb and tail movements as well as on other elaborations essential to controlled flight without major (initial) compromises of terrestrial locomotion. Once controlled flight had evolved, the avian body plan was transformed into a powerful flight engine. The transformation was then followed by the loss of other capabilities—or, in some cases, of flight itself.

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) Some conservative leaders in the Kansas Legislature say they will try again during the next session to stop the state from requiring utilities to buy more wind power.
Supporters of wind power say that action would hurt an industry that has potential for big growth in Kansas.
A 2009 law requires the state's major utilities to get 15 percent of their power from wind or other renewable sources by 2016 and 20 percent by 2020.
An opponent of the law Rep. Dennis Hedke, a Republican from Wichita, says he wants all energy sources to be on the same level and to ensure the lowest cost for ratepayers.
The Wichita Eagle reports (http://bit.ly/1jWVhcf ) Kansas wind energy capacity has grown from about 1,000 megawatts in 2009 to 2,700 megawatts this year.

Pronunciation: /ˌʃakʊˈhatʃi/
Definition of shakuhachi in English:
noun ( plural shakuhachis)
A Japanese bamboo flute, held vertically when played.
Example sentences
- The vocalised trumpet often resembled a shakuhachi (wooden Japanese flute) or (more fancifully) the gentle soughing of wind through trees.
- During our relaxation time, he would play his shakuhachi (Japanese bamboo flute) for us.
- Rather than emphasise the distinctiveness, sonically and culturally, of the Japanese shakuhachi and the western bass flute, Denyer creates a new hybrid sonority by having the two instruments play together the whole time.
Late 19th century: Japanese, from shaku, a measure of length (approx. 0.33 metre) + hachi 'eight (tenths)'.

My last post dealt with shoulder fit, but I'd like to take a detour to Pants Land (or Trouser Town, if you're British?) Last year I made my first two pairs of jeans.

"Found the perfect Baby Shower invitation! Baby shower decorations are light linen, burlap and pale blue accents. Opened up your web site to the perfect invite. Thanks!"
"With burlap being so popular it was a perfect invitation. We are using burlap in our decorations and on the diaper cake we made for the shower."
"I strongly recommend tiny prints products. The invitations I order are nice, good quality paper & paint & fast shipping. I've order 2x from them & I'm very happy with my orders.."
"The hostesses had a difficult time finding the right fall season card. This fairly neutral, adorably vintage rustic card fit our needs perfectly. We want our "little pumpkin" theme to entail blue and ivory pumpkins, and lots of burlap and rustic touches - and very little orange, and no cheesiness. This card is stylish, simple, and elegant. The color of the edges, are called "spearmint." They are definitely not baby blue, but can pass for blue if you're leaning in that direction. If not, and you need a gender neutral card, this is also a safe bet. At the direction of another reviewer, I used the square envelopes, rather than the larger envelopes that reduce the postage cost, and I'm happy that I did. It's not a huge deal, and why I still keep it to 5 stars, but I do wish I could darken/make clearer the information at the bottom, but that was my choice to keep the default font. Maybe other customers should play around to pick something more bold that stands off the page."

RE: Apollo Vs F161
Is planning in 6 knots of wind possible with Formula? That's impressive if it is! 4 knots sounds impossible to me, but lets hope it isn't!
Tiesda, that was a great explanation. I do have one thought about your website in that specialty products like the Serenity, Apollo deserve more than one page. Something like Exocet have done for their Kona or Hot with their Superfreak helps creat more understanding and thus interest and confidence to try a more radical product. just my two cents, Scott |

Re: Who is our replay guy?
Is this about the Barwin strip/incomplete pass?
I thought that was a perfectly legitimate challenge. There was one angle where it looked like the ball moved/was loose in his hand before it moved forward. It was worth a challenge.

Re: Who is our replay guy?
It wasn't just worth a challenge; it was a fumble that Dalton decided to play, "Oh, I just missed my receiver by half the football field; that's all..."
If we get that against the Cincinnati Bengals in our house, what kind of reffing are we going to get in Foxborough next week? Just watch. If we make any kind of game out of it all, which we might not, you will see some bull-crap like you haven't seen since AFCC Oilers & Steelers. They want that Brady vs. Manning match-up and then the Pats will get to stair in disbelief at absurdity too.

Re: Who is our replay guy?
I agree - Week 17's 12 men on the field challenge absolutely warrants this thread - yesterday's doesn't. I think it was a realistic challenge with the downside of a loss of a time-out more than worth the potential reward of keeping three points off the board and keeping it a two score lead.

Re: Who is our replay guy?
But yes, that was certainly worth a challenge. That rule is called so inconsistently. If you remember in the second meetup with Jacksonville, Gabbert was hit on a play that looked like an incomplete pass, but was eventually ruled a fumble recovered by the Texans. I did read that they were going to review the tuck rule in the offseason. |

Toddler bed
This article relies largely or entirely upon a single source. (August 2012) |
A toddler bed is a small bed designed for toddlers. A child grows capable of escaping an infant bed around two or three years of age, at which they are often transitioned to a toddler bed. They become too large for a toddler bed between the ages of five and seven years, and will then transition to an ordinary bed.
Commonly toddler beds have low side rails (cot sides, possibly removable) on each side to prevent accidental rolling out of the bed while asleep, rather than being fully enclosed like an infant bed. A toddler bed is low to the ground to facilitate safe and easy entry and exit for the occupant. The mattress in a toddler bed is often the same size as that in an infant bed. Generally toddler beds range from 70 cm x 140 cm to 78 cm x 180 cm. As toddlers are learning to express their tastes, licensed or themed beds to appeal to their preferences are available (for example, a racing car bed).

After I posted Dave McKean's sketch of my son, Kirby, a few folks wrote to ask how he's doing. Well, these days he's in his last semester at the New Hampshire Institute Of Art, majoring in illustration. In this age of computer art, Kirby is deeply focused on hand watercolor and, as you can see by this lovely example, is developing a rich, classical style. His goal is to marry his art skills to his love of fantasy writing. He sees himself as a world-builder and, after graduation, hopes to find a job that can make use of those talents. His senior thesis is an experiment in fantasy development called the Orrery Project. Check it out!

Thanks to everyone who battled the hideous traffic to get to the first ever Digital Hampshire event last night. We made lots of new friends and caught up with others from Hampshire's digital scene. Our talk for the evening, from Kelvin Newman - Marketing Director at SiteVisibility and founder of BrightonSEO – was a fascinating ...
Those of you who follow me on Twitter will know that over the 6 or so weeks I've been digging around for information and details on results from the implementation of rel="alternate" and hreflang on sites.
Basically, this is a relatively new option from Google to appropriately mark-up your webpages to tell them that you know there are multiple versions of what is quite possibly mostly the same page that are targeting visibility in different countries/languages, and that here are details on which country each of these pages are targeting.
What it won't do, is 'improve the rankings' that a site has. The idea is, that wherever a site (or group of websites) appear in search, if marked up with rel="alternate" then it will swap out the ranking page based on region- so UK searchers would get a UK page, the US the US page, rather than always being the page that would rank. So, if you have a global over-arching website that ranks all over the world, on a regional basis, it will then show users their localised page.
Mark-up in the <head> - rel="alternate" hreflang="x"
Initially when first launched in December, there was one method for putting this in place on your website. This involved adding the appropriate mark-up to each page of your website, telling them page x was for one particular language and/or region/country, and that page y, z etc, were for other respective locations.
Google gave us guidelines on how to plan what to do here, and essentially you would add something like the following code to the <head> of all pages of all of the websites:
<link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="http://www.example.com/page.html" />
<link rel="alternate" hreflang="en-gb" href="http://en-gb.example.com/page.html" />
<link rel="alternate" hreflang="en-us" href="http://en-us.example.com/page.html" />
<link rel="alternate" hreflang="de" href="http://de.example.com/seite.html" />
Example taken from Google's rel="alternate" hreflang="x" guidelines.
The examples show a sub-domain being deployed but the beauty of this is that it works across different domains, sub domains and could even be used on a sub-folder international SEO setup.
Whilst this is a good way to tell Google about what content is for which location, it is not without issues.
You have to produce a map in advance so that you can plan which pages are linked together in this way, you have to determine what region and/or language you are going to going to be targeting for each version of each page, and you have to plan the mark-up that is going to be deployed.
On a medium to large scale ecommerce site, this mapping could involve a hell of a lot of work, let alone working out the deployment of the code. If you are doing this for several languages, for several thousand pages, it just seems overwhelming.
rel="alternate" hreflang="x" Sitemaps
Around May of this year, Google announcing another way of doing this, through the use of XML sitemaps, and not too long after, we started working with a customer that this was perfect fit for.
The XML sitemap approach allows you to take the largest element of the work out of the equation, as you essentially just have to map the variations, work out the country code for each region, and then use that map to create the appropriate XML sitemap.
I spent a lot of time talking to a lot of SEO's, and it seemed that everyone wanted to implement this, but had no idea if it would actually work as intended, as well as encountering from potential nervousness from clients about implementing this, presumably because there was some visibility in all regions and there was no desire to go rocking the cart unnecessarily.
For our client, it made perfect sense - they operate in 3 regions, the UK, US and Australia, with top level domains for each market. However, the .com website was ranking in all regions, causing all sorts of billing headaches and the like.
A few methods had been tried before our involvement such as IP delivery and currency selections, but none of these worked perfectly to get to the bottom of the issue - users were reaching a website that wasn't appropriately priced for them.
We agreed that we would proceed with implementing this sitemap approach after tidying up a number of other necessary changes across the group of websites.
The approach we implemented for this, led us to create an XML sitemap along the lines of the following:
<urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9" xmlns:xhtml="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en-us" href="http://www.clientsite.com/"/>
<xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en-gb" href="http://www.clientsite.co.uk/"/>
<xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="en-au" href="http://www.clientsite.com.au/"/>
It was, of course, quite a bit bigger than this - this mini sitemap gives the relative variations of the home pages that we used for each region. For each additional <url>, you would set the main <loc>, and then give details on the alternative used in each sub region.
There are also further details from Google about the implementation of XML sitemaps.
For starters, as it was the URL that was ranking in all regions, we decided to only implement this for the .com website (something I'd probably think differently about and produce extra sitemaps for if there were lots of sites ranking in the various regions).
If you did want to implement this on each site, as I understand it, you'd need to create a variation of this for each specific website, as the main <loc> would vary from site to site - but this assumes top level domains and is something I'd want to examine on a case by case basis.
The Results
After a week of impatiently waiting, and checking on a near hourly basis, something began to change. Rankings for the site where the .com had always ranked, despite this being the US centric website, started to show the .co.uk domain instead.
I quickly checked visibility for a number of keywords we'd seen to drive traffic to the website and searching from the UK, everything had switched domains. I rushed off to check US and Australian visibility, and in every instance, the correct website was showing to the correct region.
So, in short, it worked perfectly! I've come back to it today, and can see marked increases in traffic from search for both regional domains since this has started to kick in, and the visibility in each region is still leading users to their correct version of the website.
I should note, that as I had expected, rankings didn't change at all as a result of this. It really wasn't the goal - it was all about making sure that the content being served to users was correctly localised to them.
I think that this something to think about and plan very closely - get the implementation of this technique wrong, and it could cause all sorts of havoc to visibility (if you say that the UK site is Australian, and Google pay attention to this, it's clear to see what could go wrong).
That said, in the right circumstances, this is clearly a very powerful tactic to serve up the correct localised results in each region that you are targeting. When coupled with other international SEO work to increase visibility of those websites in each region, you can really give international targeting a good kick in the right direction, particularly when starting out in a new region for the first time. It seems that this has effectively allowed us to piggy back off visibility one of the existing web properties already had.

Steve Jobs' fruitarian diet sent Ashton Kutcher to the hospital
Actor's efforts to mimic the eating habits of the late Apple CEO led to a dangerous situation with his pancreas.
Mon, Jan 28, 2013 at 02:25 PM

While the film itself has been receiving mixed reviews, Ashton Kutcher's performance in "jOBS" has been relatively well-received — with many praising his commitment to the role of the late Steve Jobs. "[It is] certainly his most impressive turn in years, which conveys the character's focused, manipulative intentions in each calculated look," writes Eric Kohn on Indiewire.
Kutcher's journey to channeling a slice of Jobs involved watching hundreds of hours of footage — as well as shifting to some of the unusual diets that the Apple founder embraced over the course of his life. Unfortunately, Jobs' "fruitarian diet" — in which one eats only fruits, nuts and seeds — turned out to be more difficult (and dangerous) than Kutcher realized.
"I ended up in the hospital two days before we started shooting the movie," Kutcher told reporters Friday at the Sundance Film Festival, where the film premiered, the Associated Press reports. "I was doubled over in pain, and my pancreas levels were completely out of whack — which was completely terrifying, considering everything."
Jobs died from complications related to pancreatic cancer in October 2011.
In the best-selling book "Steve Jobs," biographer Walter Isaacson says Jobs was inspired to embrace radical diets after reading the 1971 book "Diet for a Small Planet." These included "purges, fasts, or eating only one or two foods, such as carrots or apples, for weeks on end." As he got older, the frequency of such extreme eating increased.
"He would spend weeks eating the same thing — carrot salad with lemon, or just apples — and then suddenly spurn that food and declare that he had stopped eating it," writes Isaacson. "He would go on fasts, just as he did as a teenager, and he became sanctimonious as he lectured others at the table on the virtues of whatever regimen he was following."
Look for "jOBS" to open in theaters April 19. A first clip from the film is below:

M&S, perhaps Britain's most popular retail chain, appears to have run into rough weather at a time when Christmas shoppers are on a particularly frenzied buying spree in the last two days before the big day.
The Sunday Telegraph published a story that claimed that M&S had a specific policy that gave Muslim employees the right to refuse serving alcohol or pork if their religion proscribed them from doing so. The story was picked up by the rest of the media, and by shoppers online — the latter through social media networks, fuming at what they claimed was a ridiculous concession to political correctness.
M&S responded with a statement in which it expressed regret over particular incident that the newspaper reported, where a customer was refused service. It apologised for "any resulting confusion" in what they claimed was "an isolated incident."
The statement added that the shop "offers an inclusive, secular environment for employees and customers, working closely with any employee with religious beliefs of any denomination that restrict specific food or drink handling."
It claimed that specific requests from any employee to accommodate his or her religious belief are "considered on a case-by-case basis and may lead to an individual working in a department where conflicts wouldn't arise, such as in clothing or bakery in foods".
On Monday, the media, or more accurately a section of the media, reported the statement and apology as evidence of a surrender by the company that was forced to withdraw a standing policy — an interpretation that an M&S spokesperson denied. "The incident reported in The Sunday Telegraph was a one-off," the spokesperson told The Hindu. "But there has been a misunderstanding. We do not have a different policy for Muslim employees, but we do our best to accommodate the particular religious sensibilities of our employees, providing that it does not affect our business," she said.
The spokesperson refused to comment on the damage — in Christmas footfalls or brand image — for the giant retailer, which has an employee base of 82,000, and reported revenues of £ 4880.9 million and a profit before tax of £ 280.6 million in September 2013.

Gone Are All the Days Remix
It's a hard to imagine releasing a 12" vinyl maxi singles in an MP3-obsessed world, but that's what K Records have boldly done for Mirah's remix of "Gone Are All the Days." While angel-voiced Mirah could hardly be compared to club-hit-making ladies such as Lady Gaga or Madonna, this remix tries to come close.
Feed the Animals
When I heard the first Girl Talk album a few years back, I was pretty excited. It isn't like remixing is innovative, nor is Gregg Gillis fashioning a new art form (even if he has made it more fashionable again).
Fabric 39
Robert "Noise" Hood is one of the original members of the Detroit collective Underground Resistance (UR) and a solo DJ with an incredible discography. His work is informed by militant politics of music as a tool for social chance, and coming out of Reagan-era inner city Detroit, his radical views are personally informed.
Remixed and Reimagined
Billie Holiday has been lauded along with Joni Mitchell, Judy Garland, and Aretha Franklin as one of the greatest female artists of the 20th Century. The appeal of Holiday was her pained and pinched vocals; she did not have a pretty voice, and the biggest part of her appeal laid in the rough edges of her whiskey-sour pipes. Because one listens to Billie Holiday for emotional truth, it is a little disconcerting to think of Billie Holiday dance music.
Remixes Compiled
Ever since their first LP, Farenheight Fair Enough, I have enjoyed the graceful marriage of technology and music of the Chicago-based duo, Telefon Tel Aviv. They are described as producing "ambient techno" music. Regardless of categorization, Telefon Tel Aviv continues to be soulful and inventive. Put out by Hefty Records, their newest release, Remixes Compiled is an exciting collection of remixes from the past seven years. Organized chronologically, the album exhibits development from beginning to end.
Plenty of famous (and not so famous) DJs have contributed to the FabricLive series: James Lavelle, Jacques Lu Cont, Diplo and even the late John Peel. So Baltimore "dirty rap" superstars Spank Rock had a lot to live up to with their mix, the thirty-third in the series. And while other albums may have been better mixed, or contain more unknown tracks, there is almost no competition when it comes to plain old danceability. Spank Rock are, by their own admission, all about the debauchery that comes with partying, so they know what they're doing with a mix CD.
Perceptions of Pacha
The most important thing to DJ Kiko Navarro is that "people must never stop dancing!" Although I'm not a consistent fan of house, and perfer hip hop when I feel the need to get down, Perceptions of Pacha definitely moved me. Kiko Navarro is a producer and remixer who started working as a DJ in 1990 in Mallorca, Spain and released his first CD compilation titled The Latin Sound of Pacha in a collaboration with Tommy Boy UK and Pacha Group in 2001.
Poor Aim: Love Songs
I got agitated with the first song on this album. Might be the mood I am in – I just didn't feel like hearing the lyrics, "I waited for days. I can't believe you didn't call me." This song is called "Hey Boy." I had heard of this music before, and I am a fan of K Records, but I wasn't into this. There are a lot of remixes here of songs that didn't interest me much in the first place. Insipid lyrics and electronic blips are the bulk of this. I did enjoy the song "Hock It," maybe because it had what I considered to be a healthy dose of bitterness and aggression.
Franchise Player 01
Dance music, by definition, is meant for dance floors, but it would be mistake to assume that dance artists are lazy or unskilled. JT Donaldson is known as an important house music producer and remixer who not only creates music that is enjoyable to dance to, but also is compelling and aesthetically intriguing. The work of dance music producers often is undervalued because they are lumped in with disposable genres, like disco or dance-pop, but Donaldson deserves the acclaim he's garnered for his work.

Recently, I received the following question from a James H., a Vital Choice site visitor. I thought I should publish James' question and my response , since its a question Im often asked.
The question
"Our local grocery advertises that they have king salmon, but do not state whether they are wild or farm-raised. I thought most farm-raised salmon are Atlantic salmon, and that they do not farm-raise king salmon. If so, then the king salmon they sell must be wild. Is this correct? Do they farm raise sockeye salmon? Do they farm raise coho salmon? Thank you for your attention." James H.
My answer to James
Thank you for your inquiry. You are right in that virtually all Atlantic salmon (Salmo Salar) sold in a retail setting is farmed. Unfortunately, wild Atlantic salmon stocks are on the brink of collapse and no longer commercially viable in any significant way. There are two Pacific salmon species that are farmed: Coho (aka 'Silver') and King (aka "chinook", "spring" "blackmouth") salmon.
Here are three things to keep in mind when shopping for salmon:
Clues to salmons real origin: With all of the negative publicity currently surrounding farmed salmon, you can be almost certain that when a retailer or chef goes to the trouble and expense of sourcing wild salmon, he will promote it as such. On the other hand, if you ask about the fish and he doesn't seem to know or care, then it's probably farmed.
Another clue is the word "fresh." Wild Pacific salmon are only harvested seasonally, so when you see fish labeled "fresh" in the dead of winter you know they're farmed. Wild salmon are only available in the off season frozen or "re-freshed" from frozen. These can be as good as or better than so-called "fresh" if they have been handled and packaged optimally.
Alaska has no fish farms, period: Fish farming is banned in Alaska, so all salmon labeled "Alaskan" (legitimately) are wild. Note that while "Alaskan" is synonymous with wild, it does not necessarily translate into high quality. Alaska is a huge place with hundreds of pristine rivers that annually produce millions of wild salmon. While most are fine physical specimens when they leave the water, there are specie-specific characteristics and other factors that dramatically influence the quality of the fish that arrives at market.
For example, there are five different Pacific salmon species, each with its own appearance, flavor, texture and nutrient profile. Alaskan salmon are harvested in diverse areas with unique regional characteristics that further influence the above factors. For instance, fish migrating to large rivers will have a higher oil content than those destined for short ones. An oilier fish will usually have better flavor, a more delicate texture and higher omega-3 levels.
There are varying types of harvest methods, handling and processing techniques, all of which play a significant role in determining the quality of the fish ultimately sold as "wild Alaskan."
Retail clerks are often ignorant of the facts: Most seafood counter clerks know little more than their customers about the salmon they sell. At best they know what their distributor tells them. When asked questions, rather than admit ignorance, they become proficient at crafting half-truths into the answers their customers want to hear (I've personally witnessed this phenomenon countless times).
Try asking where, when or how a particular fish was caught; whether it was sustainably harvested or grown with antibiotics, growth hormones, pesticides, or colorants? Those who really care will know, but even department managers seldom have time to become knowledgeable about their products. Furthermore, they are under unrelenting pressure from their superiors to maximize their departments profitability. This drives them to push products with the shortest shelf life and the largest margins: objectives that explain the omnipresence of inexpensive fresh-farmed salmon.
As is the case with any food, your best course of action is to get to know your source. Find a knowledgeable purveyor with a value system that reflects your own, one who is committed to providing you with truly superior products. They're likely to cost more, but of course the best always does.
I hope you find this information helpful. I commend you for attempting to become better informed. Let me know if I may be of further assistance.

Beowulf(2007)Set in a magical era veiled by the mists of time, replete with heroes and monsters, adventure and valor, gold and glory, one exceptional man emerges to save an ancient Danish kingdom from annihilation by an ungodly creature. After destroying the overpowering demon Grendel, Beowulf (Ray Winstone) incurs the undying wrath of the beast's ruthlessly seductive mother (Angelina Jolie), who will use any means possible to ensure revenge. The ensuing epic battle resonates throughout the ages, immortalizing the name of Beowulf. For more about Beowulf and the Beowulf Blu-ray release, see Beowulf Blu-ray Review published by Martin Liebman on August 14, 2008 where this Blu-ray release scored 4.0 out of 5. Director: Robert Zemeckis Writers: Roger Avary, Neil Gaiman Starring: Ray Winstone, Anthony Hopkins, John Malkovich, Robin Wright Penn, Brendan Gleeson, Angelina Jolie » See full cast & crew Beowulf Blu-ray, Video QualityBeowulf finally arrives on Blu-ray in an expectedly pristine 1080p, 2.35:1 framed transfer. What can I say? This disc is another top-notch effort from Paramount. Captured from live action via motion capture technology and digitally altered and placed into a completely digital world, the film is a pure rendition of what the animators created. Beowulf is extremely dark in nature, full of poorly lit rooms, various outdoor nighttime scenes, and dark, dank caverns. Nevertheless, the picture excels, featuring tremendous blacks, fantastic depth, and clarity that will leave you awestruck. There are some daytime, exterior sequences in the movie, and these sparkle, too. The film's climax features some of the finest picture quality we've yet seen on Blu-ray. The image is practically three-dimensional with extravagant colors, jaw-dropping gorgeous and intricate detail, and razor-sharp animation that's half a step away from looking real. As expected, detail is fantastic, and the digital artists and the motion capture technology leave nothing to the imagination. Look at Hrothgar's garb in chapter two the morning after the attack. Granted, it's all animated, so we expect it to look great, but nevertheless there is a fine texture, flow, and realism to the garment that looks like it was literally taken off a hangar and placed in the film. Likewise, facial detail is fantastic. One need look no further than to the scene where Beowulf arrives on shore, greeted by the tip of a spear in his face. Each stubble of facial hair, scar, pit, and blemish is revealed, and the image is as sharp as the tip of the spear inches from our hero's eye. Grendel looks disturbingly fabulous, too. Each of the boils, exposed muscles and tendons, and loose pieces of skin flapping in the wind, all appear meticulous and grotesquely perfect. As mentioned earlier, the line between reality and animation is sometimes blurred in certain shots, but the 1080p Blu-ray transfer offers an incredible viewing experience. Beowulf Blu-ray, Audio QualityParamount doesn't stop at perfect video for this Blu-ray edition of Beowulf. The studio has smartly included an equally impressive Dolby TrueHD 5.1 lossless surround sound track that suits the film perfectly. An oddly effective choice of music to open the film, it is a powerful, exciting score with a modern pizzaz and the chants of a male choir backing it up. No doubt it sounds great on the disc, as it is perfectly balanced across the entire soundstage. The boisterous, drunken party at the beginning is an active, "you are there" style sonic event as the chants, speeches, clanking of cups, and other atmospherics come to vivid life. The subsequent attack at the hands of the giant Grendel is as loud as it is stomach-churning. Backing up the gore and intensity of the scene is a well-balanced audio presentation that seamlessly integrates the viewer into the experience from a sonic perspective and crescendos as your living room becomes Hrothgar's bloodied hall. The voice of Grendel's mother echoes nicely all around us in chapter two as Grendel returns from the attack. Flip to chapter three as Beowulf sails towards Denmark in a terrible storm at sea. The film's score swells and the deep lows it engenders rock the subwoofer as the rainstorm engulfs the rest of the listening area. Dialogue in the scene is never hindered thanks to the powerful music and effects, and the scene is a joy to behold sonically. In fact, dialogue is always clear throughout. A sudden strike of what sounds like thunder in chapter eight might scare you out of your seat. It blasts and sounds as if it crashes at your feet, a perfect wake up call and sudden jolt of electricity into a scene that was otherwise quiet. The soundtrack is an exercise in sound design done right. It's loud but clear with great use of the entire sound stage in both the quietest scenes calling for the most miniscule of ambience or the most thunderous of action sequences. Tally another sonic winner in Paramount's column. Beowulf: Other Editions

A script to save the layers of an image as separate files in a specified directory. Allows the user to specify the structure of the exported filenames (exported file type is determined by extension).
This package includes code to import/export the texgz image format into Gimp (via a plugin) or other apps. The texgz format is specifically designed to work well with OpenGL ES and uses zlib for lossless compression. The following formats are supported by texgz:
The package is available from github at:https://github.com/jeffboody/texgz
Cross Processing Images in the Gimp
This script adds a cross processing effect to an image following the procedure developed by Jesús David and documented on his blog: http://www.jesusda.com/blog/index.php?id=375
More details on the script can be found at http://www.cardinalpeak.com/blog/?p=732
Example of image before cross processing:
This script creates images via the exact process invented by Michael Orton. You need two exposures of a scene, one at an exposure value of +1, and one at an exposure value of +2.
More information is available at: my blog.
These are most easily obtained by taking a single raw photo of a scene and then producing two JPG images with appropriate exposures.
This is another script for converting a picture to black & white. The decompose plugin must to be available. The way of converting the picture is rather different than what other plugins do. Two different luminance layers are mixed according to a mask made with a saturation layer. Six different combinations are provided. Functions are available under the menu script-fu/Photography/BW Labs.
RAWTex is a save plugin for GIMP 2.2.x, 2.3.x & 2.4.x allowing to create raw textures for the PC, PSP, NDS, PS2 or any other architecture handling chunky or compressed dxtc formats.
It can save raw RGBA (5650, 5551, 4444 or 8888) & indexed (T4, T8) textures (with 5650, 5551, 4444 or 8888 palette modes support) as well as DXTC (DXT1, DXT3, DXT5) compresssed ones, it supports the PSP textures swizzle mode and can generate mipmaps, it also have a color key feature to handle transparency and can convert grayscale pictures into alpha channel only textures.

How Do Pa. Gas Taxes Stack Up?
In the wake of reports Gov. Corbett will unveil a transportation funding plan that includes increasing the cap on the Oil Company Franchise Tax, the Tax Foundation has put out two new resources related to gas taxes and road funding.
In a new report, the Foundation finds the Pennsylvania ranks 18th highest in the nation with 33 percent of road costs paid for by fuel taxes or by user fees. The rest of funding comes from general tax sources, including local taxes, federal funds and (in Pennsylvania's case) the Oil Company Franchise Tax, as it doesn't function like a user fee.
The study suggests that road costs should come from user fees (including fuel taxes) so as to impose the costs on those who use the roads:
The people that use the roads benefit from them and should bear a sizeable portion of the cost. By contrast, funding transportation out of general revenue makes roads "free," and consequently, overused or congested—often the precise problem transportation spending programs are meant to solve.
In addition, the Tax Foundation's latest "Map of the Week" shows gasoline taxes by state. Pennsylvania already ranks as the 7th-highest taxed state, with state gasoline taxes coming to more than 39 cents per gallon.
For more on transportation funding and reform in the Keystone State, check out our Principles of Transportation Funding along with a commentary I co-authored last year on Pennsylvania's "Fork in the Road" in road spending.

So, whos the stud DT?
Judging by our run defense so far this year.. and the age of our dlinemen.. id say that a DT or DE is a safe bet for our first round draft pick.
So.. anyone out there have any opinions on who it could end up being? Factors in choosing a Dlineman: 1. Obviously he has to be big.. we need big guys up front 2. Has to be a beast against the run, but needs some pass rush as well if we are gonna give a 1st for him. 3. being from Texas is a plus. 4. Cant be arrogant or selfish... not very likely to see that in a lineman but still worth mentioning. |
of those.. Ngata looks the most promising to me.. but also like the biggest risk. you arent positive what you are getting in him. Also.. from a personal standpoint.. im not big on the Mormon thing :). But that is neither here nor there. I also wonder if he is truely dedicated to football.. or if it is just "something he wants to do".. could he get tired of it after 4 or 5 years in the league and stop giving 100%?
I dont like that Hawthorne and Wright both have a reputation for lazyness.. That seems to be something that doesnt go over too well in our organization. I would love to get us a startling Dlineman from Texas.. but of the two.. Hawthorne sounded better with his run stopping ability. Anywho.. thanks for the links :)..gives me something to think about anyway. |
As of today, the best situation and most probable will be getting Marcus Spears, a defensive end at LSU. This will cause Robaire to move inside and send Payne to the bench. Spears is exactly what the defense needs as he is able to both penetrate and get pressure on the quarterback. Again, this is the most likely scenario considering
A) Where we are in the draft today (15th pick) B) Health of Gary Walker C) DLine doing nothing the rest of the year |
well.. what would you say is the deepest position in this years draft?
If it is anything like last years draft.. the DTs could fall pretty far down the list. That forum post is nice.. it sure puts Wright in a positive light. Of those.. the ones that most interested me are: 8. DT Marcus Jasmin, 6-5 315 SR, Texas A&M 9. DT Gabriel Watson, 6-3 350, JR, Michigan (talk about a great 3-4 DT) 11. DT Anthony Bryant, 6-3 330, SR, Alabama(could fall to the 2nd or 3rd rnd) and Ngata still looks good.. assuming his knee is fine. And for a DE.. how about 3. Shawn Cody, 6-4, 292, SR, USC according to the post he has the frame to support 20 more pounds of muscle |
although not a glorius position, the center position might be one of the deeper ones in a decade. If Florida's Mike Degory comes out, that would mean Degory, OU's Vince Carter, LSU's Ben Wilkerson, Hampton's Jelani Clement and Arizona's Keoki Fraser might all go before round 2.
Yah I wonder if we will go for a Center... McKinney is gettin up there in years.
I can tell you that theres about 5 teams looking at Jelani pretty heavily right now in the 3rd round or so. Jelani is a wonderful guy and a great prospect. MEAC Olineman of the week 2 times so far. EASports.com OLineman of the week last week vs. Gardner-Webb. I'd love to see him in a Texans uni next year
Right now, you're looking at Anthony Bryant being a late 3rd early 4th round guy as the surprise "man how'd he drop so far" of this year
Wright seems like the stud DT in the draft. Ngata is a very high risk because of health issues (we already have one in Payne) but would be the #1 NT prospect. Marcus Spears seems like the best of the rest & would be available when the Texans select, my concern about him is his character & affect to team chemistry. He will certainly be scrutinized and evaulted very closely.
It seems to me the Texans have a chance to build or go in several different directions with the defense. If the player they covet is available it may be CB (Webster) DT (Spears) or DE (Pollack). I'm assuming the Texans will finish with a .500 record so drafting around 15-20th these players would make sense. To draft the Stud DT they would have to trade up to get Rodrique Wright :twocents: |
I think the only way we draft Pollack is if we shifted him to OLB, and I really don't see the Texans using another first round pick on another DE/OLB. Chances are Pollack wouldn't last to our pick anyway.
Edit: Is he 261 lbs or closer to 280? I've seen it both ways. |
interesting prospect for an OLB especially if he is available in the 3rd round. you can never have too many LBs in the 3-4. |
he would be our best pass rushing DE even if he played OLB and lined up in the 4-3 on passing downs. Babin could hold the right side & Pollack the left the combination of the two would be lethal. right now the Texans currently reside in the #16 pick draft location, obviously subject to change. He is a bigger, more polished version of Babin that would give the Texans another high motor to chase around opposing QB's. In case you haven't noticed the typical 3-4 DT just don't have the speed to keep up with the modern day QBs you need speed as well as strength & agility in the backfield. I relented on Udeze last year because of the size issue, and I'm happy the Texans found a true gem in Robinson but now the Texans need to address the pass rush with the highest skilled, intelligent good character in the draft I'm sticking with David Pollack :soapbox: |
Pollack and Babin
You wouldn't hear me complain about that. |
As for him benching 700 lbs :um: , where did you get that number? Ben Watson just broke the Georgia record last year by benching 600 lbs. Pollack only benches around 465. If you know anything about Pollack, you know he isn't a workout warrior. www.uga.rivals.com/cviewplayer.asp?Player=8204 notice the bench # http://georgiadogs.collegesports.com...k_david00.html |
pollack was up to 280 last year and then went on a diet of only polyinsaturated fats and is now down to 261, according to his article in espn the magazine. also he squats 700 not benches 700. wags the article also said he has his own key to the weight room and he worked out 2 times a day in the off-season.
unsaturated fats not insaturated fats, my bad
