ISO: Help creating Torrent and menus, and everything......
i filmed a bunch of shows with my vid cam all of these shows are on MiniDV tapes i have several .... Kimock, PNUMA TRIO, Talib Kweli, G Love, WSP, and most recent the Jamacia HOLIDAZE disco biscuits... now i have these tapes and i dont know how to turn it into..... the end product when i download a torrent here..... i need someone to make menus ... chapters.... the whole 9... from the tape i mail you .... might have to sync with audio..... but audio itself on the tape is really good id say..... ALL info and help let me know Mike No members have liked this post.
Re: ISO: Help creating Torrent and menus, and everything......
I use nerovision to do mine.
Transfer the tape from my cam via firewire and save as avi- put the avi in nerovision, and it's pretty easy to make chapters and menus in that prog (IMO) It seems fairly intuitive to me, but it also has some drawbacks and it's not free. Just make sure whatever you use, check the audio and video settings before converting- AC3 audio is lossy like an mp3- I always use LPCM audio which is lossless. Also check the video bitrate setting and use the highest possible. Keep in mind this will make the end product bigger- but well worth it (again IMO) There are tons of threads here covering this topic- search around and you'll find way more info- this is just how I do it. I'm sitting on about 10 shows myself that need converted/synced or I would offer to do 'em for ya.

I see Tanel has just started a short series of articles on where the X$ data come from so, for those with time on their hands (?anyone?) here's a little script I wrote a few years ago when I wanted to check which v$ objects corresponded to the same internal structure in the SGA: (as v$session and v$session_wait used to)
It starts with a function that has to be created in the SYS schema – so no doing this on production systems. The function is a pipelined function so that we can treat its output like a table, which means I need to create an object type and a table type before creating the function. In the function I select each x$ name from the list of x$ names (x$kqfta) and for each table I construct a dynamic SQL statement selecting the first row from the table.
Over the versions of Oracle, various bugs have resulted in deadlocks and crashes when selecting a row from particular X$ objects, so there a short list of exceptions that has grown gradually over time. The code has some calls to dbms_output(), which you can choose to hide by setting serveroutput off. Depending on your system you may see a very large number of X$ with no data in them.
create type jpl_row as object(x_address raw(8), x_name varchar2(30), x_indx number); / create type jpl_table as table of jpl_row; / create or replace function x_first return jpl_table pipelined as /* Created by x_link.sql */ -- -- Pipeline function to examine addresses of data in x$ objects -- Uses types jpl_row and jpl_table to implement the pipeline -- dg_broker_problem exception; pragma EXCEPTION_INIT(dg_broker_problem, -16525); logminer_problem exception; pragma EXCEPTION_INIT(logminer_problem, -1306); logminer_problem2 exception; pragma EXCEPTION_INIT(logminer_problem2, -1307); mem_advisor_problem exception; pragma exception_init(mem_advisor_problem, -1007); deadlock exception; pragma EXCEPTION_INIT(deadlock, -60); no_table exception; pragma EXCEPTION_INIT(no_table, -942); m_addr x$kqfta.addr%type; m_indx x$kqfta.indx%type; m_table varchar2(30); begin for c1 in (select kqftanam, indx from x$kqfta) loop begin execute immediate ' select indx, addr, ''' || c1.kqftanam || ''' from ' || c1.kqftanam || ' where rownum = 1' into m_indx, m_addr, m_table; dbms_output.put_line(m_addr || ' ' || m_table || ' ' || c1.indx); pipe row (jpl_row(m_addr, m_table, c1.indx)); exception when no_data_found then dbms_output.put_line('Warning: No data-' || ' ' || c1.kqftanam || ' ' || c1.indx); null; when no_table then dbms_output.put_line('Warning: No table-' || ' ' || c1.kqftanam || ' ' || c1.indx); null; when logminer_problem then dbms_output.put_line('Warning: logminer issue' || ' ' || c1.kqftanam || ' ' || c1.indx); null; when logminer_problem2 then dbms_output.put_line('Warning: logminer issue' || ' ' || c1.kqftanam || ' ' || c1.indx); null; when dg_broker_problem then dbms_output.put_line('Warning: DataGuard issue' || ' ' || c1.kqftanam || ' ' || c1.indx); null; when mem_advisor_problem then dbms_output.put_line('Warning: Memory Advisor' || ' ' || c1.kqftanam || ' ' || c1.indx); null; when deadlock then dbms_output.put_line('Warning: deadlock' || ' ' || c1.kqftanam || ' ' || c1.indx); null; when others then dbms_output.put_line('Warning: other' || ' ' || c1.kqftanam || ' ' || c1.indx); raise; end; end loop; return; end; / show errors
Once the function has been created it's a simple matter to call it, ordering the output by (for example) x_addr.
select * from table(x_first) order by x_address, x_indx ; X_ADDRESS X_NAME X_INDX ---------------- ------------------------------ ---------- 0000000000000000 X$KSUTM 41 X$KSUSGIF 42 X$KTTVS 477 X$KDXHS 487 X$KZSRO 528 00000000099EC500 X$KGSKCP 139 00000000099EC560 X$KGSKPP 140 00000000099EC5D0 X$KGSKASP 141 ... 000000000BEE9560 X$KSFDFTYP 119 000000000C0F5B1C X$KQDPG 495 000000000C0F7660 X$KQFTVRTTST0 863 0000000060000000 X$KSMMEM 71 0000000060001190 X$KSMSP_DSNEW 82 00000000600077CC X$KGICS 513 ... 00000000AAE1B588 X$KSQST 32 00000000AAE35598 X$KSRPCIOS 118 00007FFB03E92478 X$DBGDIREXT 820 00007FFB04274F50 X$KSMSP 75 00007FFB045D4E28 X$ACTIVECKPT 270 ... 00007FFB093A7B48 X$KXFPSST 569 00007FFB093A9D48 X$KOCST 638 473 rows selected.
This was 64-bit Oracle version 22.214.171.124 – and I've only recorded data in 473 of the possible 950 x$ structures.
As far as Tanel's series is concerned a key detail here is the way in which you can break the range into 4 chunks:
- The zeros – x$ which I assume don't take any memory but simply return the result of a real-time function call.
- The low range (up to C0F7660) which is a fixed data segment (whose technical name in x86-speak I forget) in the SGA
- The mid range (60000000 to AAE35598) which is the SGA heap
- The high range (from 7FFB03E9247 upwards) which is user space (PGA/UGA addressing)
As Tanel's first post explains, and as you can infer from the sample listing above, when you query x$ksmsp, you are querying a structure in user space..

Taking a break from obsessing over the races for U.S. Senate and president, I joined a few dozen colleagues Tuesday afternoon at the fall meeting of the university faculty. Attendance at those semiannual general meetings is never good, but the information that's shared is always valuable and often depressing. Tuesday was no exception.
Chancellor Brady Deaton began with his usual points of pride. We have 34,748 students this year, he said, with the highest minority enrollment, the best test scores and the highest rates of retention and graduation ever. The retention and graduation rates are both well above the national averages. Enrollment is up by 8,624 from 10 years ago.
(A bit later in the proceedings, budget officer Tim Rooney supplied his standard deflator. Since 2001, he pointed out, enrollment has increased by 47 percent while state support has decreased by 12 percent.)
Even Chancellor Deaton wasn't completely his usual upbeat self. While he pointed with pride to MU's continued membership in the most elite group of research universities, the Association of American Universities, he emphasized that we're lagging behind that peer group.
The AAU has only 59 members in the United States and two in Canada, 34 of them public. We're near the bottom of the pack in three of the four most important measures that determine eligibility for membership and not much better in the fourth. We're below the 10th percentile in federal research dollars, memberships in the National Academies of Science and Medicine, and the number of times other scholars cite our work.
We've got to do better, he said. He didn't suggest that we're in danger of being evicted from this high-prestige and high-dollar neighborhood, but he did remind us that the University of Nebraska was voted out not long ago.
He wants the campus to increase the number of graduate students, who of course do a lot of the grunt work behind the scenes of research productivity. He also wants to increase the number of tenure-track faculty, a number that has been pretty static even as the numbers of undergraduates, and the non-tenure-track faculty who teach them has mushroomed.
By comparison to other AAU universities, our faculty is strongly skewed to the low end of experience and salary. Of our tenure-track faculty, 34 percent are assistant professors, 34 percent associate professors and 32 percent full professors. The average percentages among our peers are, respectively 24 percent, 27 percent and 49 percent.
More and higher-ranked faculty, of course, cost money. Tim Rooney told us that the university system is requesting about $85 million more for general operations from next year's legislature. We'll see how that plays out.
Mr. Rooney also said that Proposition B, the cigarette tax increase, would yield $40 to $50 million a year for the system. Much of that would go toward increasing the School of Medicine's enrollment of future physicians by one-third, in a new partnership with two southwest Missouri hospitals. You've noticed, I'm sure, that President Tim Wolfe and Chancellor Deaton have plunged into the campaign to pass that tax.
When the chancellor introduced Tom Hiles, the new campus fundraiser-in- chief, he said private dollars are no substitute for public support. He must have meant that they shouldn't be. Increasingly, they are.
Mr. Hiles reported that the capital campaign that ended in 2008 had a final take of $1.038 billion, one of only 20 such campaigns by public universities to top the billion-dollar level. That money has produced, among other things, 1,500 endowed scholarships and 91 endowed faculty chairs.
Our university now has a total endowment of more than $600 million, he said. That sounds pretty good until you realize that it leaves us, again, near the bottom of the AAU. For comparison, the University of Florida's endowment is $1.3 billion. Penn State's is $1.7 billion.
So the next big campaign will be focused mainly on increasing our endowment. If you wonder why that's so important, see Tim Rooney's figures, above.
The next campaign won't go public for another year or more, Mr. Hiles said. He declined to reveal its goal, saying that won't be decided for a while. It will be more than $1 billion, though, and will last seven years. During this planning phase, the counting has already started. So far, he said, the total committed is $168 million.
Reflecting on the meeting, I can't help concluding that, while it may be true as the Bible says that the love of money is the root of all evil, it's also true that the lack of money is the root of its own evils. And the pursuit of money never ends.

SEATTLE (AP) - Mariners manager Eric Wedge suffered a dizzy spell during batting practice, had to be helped into the dugout by team personnel and has been taken to a hospital as a precaution. Seattle general manager Jack Zduriencik said Wedge was doing much better and was checked out by team doctors at Safeco Field before Monday's game against Cleveland. But Zduriencik said the team was being extra cautious and sent Wedge to the hospital for further evaluation. Bench coach Robby Thompson will handle the managerial duties for the game against the Indians. Zduriencik said he expects Wedge to be back at the ballpark on Tuesday. |

~Sitting up high on a hill
Long since abandoned by a man named Bill.
Overlooking the river below
In rain, wind, sun and snow.
Start by the water on a narrow street
Walk up the hill to find your treat
Walking by parallel rows of stone
On your way up to the throne.
Taking a left on a wide, public trail
Leading to many a cedar rail
Come face to face with a stone sentinel
As you continue to walk up the hill.
Face him and go to the right
Up 26 steps to a new height
Look to your right down below
To the field where I saw two doe.
After making a sharp left, look to your right
For a "layered" rock that just might
If you look at its NE corner by a tree
Hide what was put there by me.
Bring red and black and please be sure to be discrete and re-hide well.

County leaders to dive into water problems this fall
At least 36 communities in Loudoun County – many in suburban eastern Loudoun – are living with problems with their drinking and waste water systems, an assessment report presented to supervisors on June 20 revealed.
Of those communities, the report showed, 16 were studied to determine the funding levels needed to solve those problems. The total price tag was more than $27.4 million.
Loudoun supervisors are expected to delve deep into this report this fall in what will likely be a series of committee of the whole discussions to try and find solutions to these problems through policy, planning and implementation.
The report is a product of an eight-member task force consisting of various county department representatives that was created by government leaders in 2007 to develop a plan to solve potential future and existing water and sewer needs in Loudoun County.
The task force met on a part-time basis between 2007 and 2010 to develop the report.
Supervisors deferred discussing the report in January because of scheduling conflicts.
In the report, task force members used Health Department surveys to determine communities' needs.
Among the findings:
* Paeonian Springs, a community along Route 9 north of Route 7 consisting of 116 homes, carried the largest price tag to bring its on-site water and sewer systems up to par. The estimated cost for a community water and sewer system is $4.6 million. Properties located within the community, the report found, are small with older facilities. Thirteen percent of the facilities are considered to be unsatisfactory and the status of another 27 percent of the facilities is unknown.
* Other communities living on failing facilities included Lincoln, an area of 60 homes south of Purcellville along Lincoln Road. The area, surveyed by the Health Department in 1999, was found to have 33 percent of its sewage disposal systems failing. It would cost $3.2 million to construct a community water and sewer system, the report shows.
* The Town of Hillsboro, surveyed in 1999 by the Health Department, runs on a spring and a drilled well. The town has been on a boil water notice since 2000, meaning the water is not safe to consume unless first boiled. The estimated cost for a community water and sewer system is $2.4 million.
Many of the communities identified in the report in eastern Loudoun are older communities that were bypassed by the central water system when development began to spring up in the area, including Potomac Farms.
The community of 156 homes on Smith Circle, west of Loudoun County Parkway, is serviced by privately owned wells and on-site sewer systems. Residents regularly complain to the state Department of Health about low water pressure and aesthetic water quality issues, the report shows. It would cost $3.9 million to replace the privately operated water system.
Also included in the survey is Broad Run Farms, a community of 425 homes north of Route 7 in Sterling. The community is served by public sewer with the exception of a few on-site waste water systems. The price for extending public sewer to the remaining homes is unknown, but several wells adjacent to the nearby Hidden Lane Landfill are contaminated with trichloroethylene, the report said. Trichloroethylene is commonly used as an industrial solvent.
The task force in its report listed nine recommendations for the Board of Supervisors to address the county' water and sewer problems, including policies to ensure central water and waste water systems to communities as they become available; funding options such as capital needs assessments and capital improvement programs; and inter-jurisdictional collaboration among others.
To view the entire report go to http://www.loudoun.gov
Why is it my problem people bought homes with failing wells and drainfields? The incorporated towns with problems failed to tax their citizens to fix their problems. People bought homes knowing that their wells and drainfields were their responsibility. I would not agree that our County government start raising the bar. The State should set standards and if tougher standards result in comdemnation of homes then let those investors/homeowners pay for the fix. Why open up a big can of worms when people are having a hard time making ends meet. YES more development will result if systems were extended from the Potomac from Lovettsville. The extentions would be partially paid for by new hookups and LCSA surcharges. OK Janet Clarke here is your chance to tell everyone your position. Do you want County taxpayers to fix percieved failing sewer/water systems throughout the County or is it their problem? Do you want more growth in Western Loudoun Loudoun?
What has the known done for all of these years and what does he plan to do? He has done nothing for Purcellville or the Crooked Run Farm, even with his alliance with Mr. Lazaro. We know the know and in my book it stinks. Flush him.
As we have discussed before, when it comes to negotiations between the Town's and the County, the town citizens are already well represented at the table by the town councils. In the past, the citizens impacted by town expansion who live outside the town have had their interests represented by Kurtz, Burton, and York. Now that York has re-aligned with the pro-development LCRC and has been joined by Higgins and Clarke one needs to ask "who will speak for the county citizens outside the towns in these deliberations?" I know where Burton and Baldwin fall on these issues and whose voice they will use when the time comes. I don't know about Janet or Higgins and it looks like York has jumped ship as well. It does look as if Janet has significant ties to the developers in this area if you look at the people who have endorsed her - one in particular is Brent Cambell - Toll Brother's land man turned commercial developer. Additionally, she has longterm relationships with the very people with whom she will need to do battle (and yes, sometimes its a battle).
Higgins has repeatedly taken development industry contributions for his various campaigns and has been recently attending Hamilton TC meetings (Hamilton is currently attempting to re-write their comp plan - something the County must agree to and the first step to expansion of the town.)
Sorry, I know you have a friendship with Janet but she simply does not have the track record Jim has when it comes to protecting county resident's interests in land use disputes with the towns and developers. I will take the known over the unknown (at best) in this case.
Hey, the NIMBY/BANANA alliance have figured out how to reduce Loudoun's population: just do nothing to the water systems. The systems in Western Loudoun are probably ageing; the systems in Eastern Loudoun are probably the result of development gone bad.
It always does cracks me up when residents of new subdivisions complain about development.
Because I've known Ms. Clarke for a very long time, I believe your comments to be inaccurate. I've learned that she understands what makes western Loudoun unique. She will work to preserve our communities while at the same time working with the towns to address their concerns. In other words, she will represent all of the residents of western Loudoun very well.
I encourage you to continue your support of Mr. Burton, but don't misrepresent Ms. Clarke in the process. I'd rather hear more about what Mr. Burton or Ms. Clarke will do to fix the water problems being discussed.
geez, all of these systems were running kaput during the reign of lord jim and now he tells us we should be worried. what has he done for the last 16 years when this was happening? the pro water and sewer system failure candidate jim burton has delivered another fine mess and now wants to be reelected to fix a problem he caused.
Malcolm Baldwin and Jim Burton will not represent the in-towners, only the PEC, you know that. Any thoughts on what happened to the Lazaro/York/PEC alliance?
The cost of water/sewer in Purcellville is not only unsustainable but unnecessary. Now the Town spend ANOTHER $750,000 that it doesn't have to do what??? Find more water because we don't have enough. No worries though. Janet Clarke will build our way out of the fiscal mess. That will help resolve this water problem too. What a fool.
You conveniently skipped the second half of Old Loudoun's comment:
"...and didn
Water is a precious commodity when there are 2 many people in 1 place you either have to sho some people or spend more money on the stuff .
From the reporter:
@Told you so,
We did not provide the entire website because the url was too long for print. However, here is the link to the entire report http://www.loudoun.gov/controls/speerio/resources/RenderContent.aspx?data=86c72e62daa74311a0250f2f1e99bf88&tabid=312&fmpath;=/Business+Meeting+Packets/2011/06-20-11+and+06-21-11+BOS+Meeting+Packets/
The county web site is designed to make this report difficult to locate. Why did you not provide the actual link to the report instead of a link just to the front page of the county web site?
This situation with water supplies is just another inevitable bad result of the manic development that occurred in Loudoun County until the housing crash, engineered by Democrats in Washington, slowed things down. Repeated county administrations dominated by both parties caused this situation. Developers were allowed to manipulate the system with total disregard for the effects of their business activities on taxes and public services.
Now, once again, the taxpayers of Loudoun County will be expected to pay for all the development that produced zero benefits for us.
Scott York is one big bully. Yep, that's all he is. A BIG BULLY. It's no wonder there is so much animosity in this community. Is there a 12 step for bullies? Or do we need an intervention?
Looks like a study done prior to the current board resurfaces just as the Republicans think they are moving back into the dias. Interesting. Is this a justification for running water and sewer so that more developers can run rampant? I hope not.
This isn't about ENOUGH water, but aging treatment and distribution systems.
Looks like the answer suggested is replacement or upgrading of engineered solutions, i.e. not good old fashioned well and drainfield.
And lots of people will no doubt show up to testify against that!
Years ago (15 or so) I'd go to hearings on yet another special exception building permit by one developer or another…and a hydrologist would testify that Loudoun couldn't supply enough water and didn't have the right rock formations underground, to sustain the sort of massive development that was being proposed. Everyone in authority (or making a buck off the impending explosion) laughed and said that was chicken little talk. Guess they were wrong. Not much comfort in being right, either.

Apologies if many have heard this but I hadn't so felt worth sharing.
Love Lauryn.
Apologies if many have heard this but I hadn't so felt worth sharing.
Love Lauryn.
you mean her?
ball buster
I loved that MTV album much more than her first solo effort. It was so honest and raw and full of charisma. With full production it would have been even more beautiful as, its only flaw, the guitar chords start to feel a bit too samey after a few songs.
If you haven't already, check out "Peace of mind", "Just like the water", "I find it hard to say" and "Mystery Of Iniquity" (which is a phenomenal piece of intelligent rap, later turned into pop shite by Kanye.)
Lauryn needs to grace us all with her beauty and talent once again. I miss her!
She's rolling through town soon. Have heard very poor to average reviews though and the tickets ain't cheap.
Which town?
She'll be in Pomona (edge of LA County) next Tuesday at the Fox Theatre - http://theatrer.org/ResultsVenue.asp...FQkLbAodgygKDA

her spaghetti has slipped off her plate.
I Am Almost Keeping It Real
She still has the voice, but her songs are Zzzzzzzz..... Reminds me of the 80's pop icons make their return, break out the guitar, and make sappy remakes of their hits.
Perhaps she needs to call up Wyclef & Pras to reignite the spark that once was there.

I enjoyed making my own save the date magnets. Only one problem I had was getting my pictures to fit into the space I had to work with. I had to try several different shaped magnets but it all worked out OK!

Just four days after a probable Democratic setback in the midterm elections, President Barack Obama will gas up Air Force One for an 8,000-mile trip to India, the first leg of a four-nation tour. He will reinforce ties with Muslim Indonesia, enlist South Korea and Japan to the American side of the currency debate with China, and strengthen diplomatic and economic ties with India.
Obama, who has been seen as hostile to business in polls of executives and investors, has a golden opportunity to promote U.S. corporate interests in India and show how business-friendly and job-focused he can be. While in Mumbai—his first stop—the President will attend a summit of American and Indian chief executive officers. The American C-suite elite will be there in force. Attendees include Jeffrey Immelt of General Electric (GE), Jim McNerney of Boeing (BA), David Cote of Honeywell International (HON), and Indra Nooyi of PepsiCo (PEP). They all put India high on their list of target markets.
With Obama in attendance, Indian companies and ministries will probably ink a half a dozen deals with U.S. outfits, some of them months in the making. There's a $4.5 billion order for Boeing C-17 transports, says Ron Somers, president of the U.S.-India Business Council. He says the Indians may announce a $4 billion contract for either GE or Caterpillar (CAT) to supply diesel locomotives.
While it's not clear that Obama will have to step into any last-minute negotiating glitches, his presence helps. "When a Cabinet official—or even better, a President—shows up, everybody knows that's the time to get the deal done," says William A. Reinsch, president of the National Foreign Trade Council in Washington.
The bottom line: President Obama will travel to India after the midterms. The trip gives him a chance to help U.S. companies land important contracts.

Perusing the Portables
By Duke Ratliff
An undercover shopping trip last month in Westchester, N.Y., revealed that it's definitely not the same-old, same-old in the consumer electronics sections of mass merchants Walmart, Kmart and Target.
All three discounters are devoting lots of space to i-Pod/MP3 players and accessories as they head into the gift-buying fourth quarter. Concurrently, this is the first Christmas season without Circuit City, leaving Best Buy as the sole consumer electronics category killer. With increasingly expanded and sophisticated consumer electronic sections, Walmart and Target clearly have Circuit City's former customers in their sights.
A recently remodeled Walmart store featured the CE section as a destination point near the back of the 13,000 square-foot unit. Taking up an entire corner of the store, the section was well lit and could be seen (and heard) from all around.
Front and center at the entrance of Walmart's CE offerings is an i-Pod display case, emphasizing the importance of the category. i-Pods and other MP3 players are merchandised under glass with features called out with signage. A Walmart employee was strategically placed behind the glass case of i-Pods for any questions, instead of being behind a glass case of cameras, as is usually found at discounters.
Shoppers walk past the i-Pod case, which is stocked with MP3 players of all sorts and prices, into a 12-foot aisle with MP3 speaker systems and radios on the left. Accessories such as cables, headphones and cases are on the right.
Not surprisingly, Walmart clearly merchandises its i-Pod speaker offerings, distinguishing brand features. Speakers and docking stations--some with clocks, others with CD capacity and phones--are displayed on the shelves, out of the box, with descriptions. The items are stocked in ascending order according to price: the least expensive first to the most expensive.
The 12 selections ranged in price from $39.99 for a Memorex i-Pod speaker to $149.99 for the Philips CD player that works with an i-Phone. Other items included the iHome Wake & Sleep ($99.88), the Sony i-Pod Phone Clock Radio ($89.88) and the Memorex Mini Move Portable i-Pod Boombox for $49.88.
The shelf facing the speaker systems was filled with accessories--including headphones and ear buds, i-Pod auto adapter kits and smaller speakers including the iHome Stereo Speaker system for $19. Also stocked on the shelf were music-download gift cards at various prices.
Kmart's electronics section reflected more of a traditional--and price-conscious--approach with the camera kiosk, manned by an associate, as the central focus. Kmart's i-Pods, players and accessories take up most of two shelves lining a 16-foot aisle. An endcap of MP3 players calls attention to Kmart's selection of offerings.
Kmart's MP3 speaker systems are all either $29.99 or $49.99. Items include the iHome Colortune ($49), the 6PX Clock Radio ($29.99), the SDI Dock iHome ($29.99), the ILive Boombox ($49) and the Memorex Mini Move Boombox ($49).
The retailer also had a wide range of mini-speaker systems, ranging in price from $3.99 to $14.99. Kmart emphasized lower-priced MP3 player systems including the GPX Element, starting at $17.99.
Target puts its magical merchandising touch to good use for its portable, digital music section. Nicely lit, wooden displays coordinate with large, immediately recognizable i-Pod signage to grab the shopper's attention. i-Pod players including the Nano, the Shuffle, the Classic and the Touch are highlighted in a large display case at the entrance to a 20-foot aisle with players on one side, accessories on the other.
Target also emphasizes its upscale brand offerings with a huge Bose display in the middle of the aisle. The store offered two Bose Sounddocks, with various features ($299 and $399), plus Bose headphones ranging in price from $99 to $179.
In addition to the higher-priced Bose offerings, Target offered 13 MP3 speaker systems. Prices ranged from $49 for the Memorex Mini Move Boombox to $169 for the JBL On Time Speaker Dock. Other items included the iHome Speaker Dock Clock ($99), Skullcandy's Speaker Dock ($69.99) and the Logitech Purefi ($129).

PCA sticking when using chrome

since i switched to the chrome browser the PCA web has worked as fast as any other web site which is great news as IE9 and FF were very sluggish.
But last couple of days PCA web pages have been stuttering and sticking making scrolling of the pages slow, links and pages ok just scrolling causes a sticking of the web.
other web pages ok just PCA.

I find that the PCA website works best with Google Chrome, then Firefox with Internet Explorer being the worse.
A fairly regular browser cache cleaner might help?.
Another good indication to the PCA website, and its sluggishness is looking at the loading and 'waiting for', which might give an indication of any blockages!.

I find same problem with both Chrome & IE9, not just for PCA - also Ebay. IMHO, the problem probably lies with the amount of data needing to be downloaded per page with these longer lists, and all the advertising that goes with, coupled, of course, with the connection speeds.
The simple solution is just patience!!

I for one do not have problems on Ebay or any other site I use regularly,this is a PCA issue and patience really does not come into it. I have disabled all add ons to see if it was perhaps my PC but as this is a fresh install of Windows ETC at the weekend it was unlikely to be my end.

Totally agree with Chronos the 2nd comments.
I use a number of websites daily, throughout the day, eBay and Amazon included, and never seem to have or experience the hold-ups this website seems to produce daily.

Most of O'Shea's criticisms went to the Times' Web effort. "If anything, we are Web-stupid," he concluded from reading the results of an internal analysis of the newspaper's operations, as anybody knew who watched the paper wrestle, years ago, whether to charge a subscription fee for access to its entertainment section, CalendarLive. Arguably a bone-headed move from the start, it surely was a harbinger of things to come.
Here's what's coming now for the newspaper:
- The LATimes.com staff and newspaper staff will work in one newsroom.
- The Times' will follow the leaders in reducing page size.
- The newspaper will get a redesign that "challenges every section."
- Reporters will be taught how to file stories on the Web. (This suggests a denial of reality. Did they think the Web was a fad?)
While all that's going on, O'Shea's new plans suggest the seed of an idea that could blossom. Not a big bloom, but one that draws readers and advertisers the way $10 buffets draw people to Las Vegas.
Quietly mentioned in his remarks to the troops were the words "hyper local."A few communities will become the test kitchens for an online recipe of content to include community calendars, crime statistics, school test scores and neighborhood discussion boards, O'Shea told his own newspaper in an interview. This doesn't mean lots of reporters will camp out at the neighborhood Starbucks. The information, O'Shea said, should be available to the paper at little cost.
That's just the kind of information that people living in a big city find attractive, says Mike Orren, the founder of Dallas-Fort Worth's local news site, PegasusNews.com. "On the local level at least, data is what drives visitors ... more than 75% of our traffic is data – interactive calendar listings, band profiles, restaurant listings, political campaign contributions, drink specials and the like," he wrote in a column called Lessons from the Launch. "Most of our listings aren't found on the other local city guides – something for both traditional media and upstarts alike to think about."
Sounds like the LA Times is thinking about that kind of information. So is the Washington Post. That big city paper is reaching out to bloggers in the capital. The Post reportedly plans to mine local Web logs. Its staff will sell advertisements which appear in their posts and the paper and the bloggers will share the revenue.
Finally, there is an appetite for the kind of extreme coverage the Times is testing. Placeblogger.com, a site which points to local blogs, lists 151 of them in California, nearly 50% more than any other state. Los Angeles has 25.
The mess at the Los Angeles Times is in suggests there is lots of blame to go around, generously spread in both L.A. and Chicago. The Times' internal report about the sorry state of its Web effort laments squabbling between Los Angeles and the home office. It sure sounds like management at the Tribune in Chicago, the city of 'make no little plans', had no plan.

- Gender: Male, female
I Can Make You Hot is a new book by Kelly Killoren Bensimon and her program has also been called the supermodel diet. In this book, Kelly talks about her career as a model and how she spent time eating too little, then ate too much. She also discusses her personal search for the right blend of nutrition and exercise that she's used personally to be healthy. Through the advice in I Can Make You Hot you can learn to stop skipping meals, eat real food and lose between three and five pounds in a smart and fast way.

- Encourages eating healthy whole foods
- Includes several pieces of advice on being hot
- Allows you to still eat many of your favorite foods
- No new information
The secret to I Can Make You Hot is to focus on something different throughout the seven day program. The book offers several points on what to eat, smart snacks and not grocery shopping while you're hungry. Some of the highlighted points within the book are:
- Exercise everyday with no excuses
- Make healthy food choices and eat well six days per week
- Make Sunday your Funday and eat whatever you want
Some other advice that is given with regards to the program is to make a list for preparation. Set up your goals before starting and plan out what you will eat each week. You will want to shop for the week so that you're prepared to make your foods. Being prepared is a very important step to achieving success.

- Pancake mix
- Brown and white rice

- Whole wheat pasta
Exercise is an important part of being hot. I Can Make You Hot encourages you to exercise every day without excuse.

Being consistent will keep your body fueled so that the occasional slip up will not sabotage your overall progress. The author talks about her love for running and how that was her exercise of choice during her modeling career. You can choose what type of exercise you do, just remember to do something every day. Plan your workouts and put them on your calendar, while considering your weekly schedule. Keeping your regular obligations in mind when you plan your workouts is a great way to avoid excuses.
CONCLUSIONI Can Make You Hot offers some real world advice for getting yourself into shape in a healthy way. The author discourages starving yourself or skipping meals and she shares a lot of her personal experiences. There's no need to feel deprived because you get a free day of eating, which can keep you motivated to make healthy choices the rest of the time.

Short hands-on with a GH3
Short hands-on with a GH3
Oct 12, 2012
I was able to handle a GH3 today at a camera show. It was pre-production firmware but I assume the body was final. Here are my initial comments:
-Overall build seems good but kind of "plasticky". Did not bother me too much but just to note.
-While taking pictures and looking through the EVF, the first thing that really bothered me was the focus confirmation beep through the speaker. I was looking through the EVF with my left eye, so the speaker was relatively close to my ear. I immediately turned the beeping off.
-there was a noticable pause between shots (which is not there on my G1 or GF1). Again, this was pre-production firmware, so I assume that will disappear.
-very nice grip and button/wheel placement. As to be expected from Pany, they have continued well with the physical ergonomics of the camera.
-I like the play button located at the far left edge - easy to get to quickly without having to remove your eye from the EVF.
-using the front wheel to scroll through the menus seemed a little finicky - I prefer 4 directional buttons instead but that would just take getting used to.
-when selecting ISO, one wheel changed the ISO value, and the other selected the ISO limit. This was very nice!
-When using my 20mm f1.7 lens, it seemed quicker on the GH3 over the G1/GF1. I cannot confirm if it was quicker, but just felt that way.
-the LCD and EVF were very sharp and bright. Colors looked good.
-when playing back and scrolling through the images, it is MUCH quicker than my G1/GF1.
-There was another model with the grip attached, and it looked and felt good. I would probably not bother with it, but if you needed that capability then it is there. I have tried the OMD-EM5 and that feels much better with the grip, whereas the GH3 feels big enough without it (of course the GH3 is a bigger camera to start with)...
Looking forward to when this camera is released.

Making Choices
Imagine that you are going to settle on the frontier in the 1800s. You will need to make or grow everything you need to live. Your wagon has very little room for the things you will need so you must make choices. For example, you may decide to leave your dishes behind because you know that you can make wooden plates and bowls when you arrive.
Choose three tools you will need for building, cooking, farming or hunting. Write their names below. Next to the name of the tool write why it is an important tool to bring along.
You may download, print and make copies of the Lesson Activity Masters for use in your classroom, provided that you include the copyright notice shown on that page on all such copies.

Title: | Gomerulus & Podocytes |
Author(s): | Perazza, Gabriela |
Abstract: | This is a painting representation of a Scanning Electron Microscope image (of about 5,000x) of the glomerulus, podocytes and glomarular filtrates of the kidneys created in Adobe Photoshop. A glomerulus is a capillary tuft that performs the first step in filtering blood to form urine. It is surrounded by Bowman's capsule in nephrons of the vertebrate kidney. If a substance can pass through the endothelial cells, glomerular basement membrane, and podocytes, then it is known as glomerular filtrate, and it enters lumen of proximal tubule. Podocytes form a tight interdigitating network of foot processes (pedicels) that control the filtration of proteins from the capillary lumen into Bowman's space. |

Ya-eee! Icky thump, who'd a thunk?
Sittin' drunk on a wagon to Mexico
Ah well, what a chump, well my head
Got a bump when I hit it on the radio
Redhead señorita lookin' dead
Came and said, "Need a bed?" en español
Said give me a drink of water
I'm gonna sing around the collar
Well, I don't need a microphone
Icky thump with the lump in my throat
Grabbed my coat and I was freaking, I was ready to go
Yeah, I swear, beside the hair she had one white eye
One blank stare, lookin' up, lyin' there
On a stand near her hand was a candy cane
Black rum, sugar cane, dry ice, somethin' strange
La la la
White Americans, what, nothin' better to do?
Why don't you kick yourself out? You're an immigrant too
Who's usin' who? What should we do?
Well you can't be a pimp and a prostitute too
Icky thump handcuffed to a bunk
Robbed blind, looked around and there was nobody else
Left alone I hit myself with a stone
Went home and learned how to clean up after myself

Trip Start
Trip End
Where I stayed
Little India
. The people were nice enough though and we were glad just to be somewhere and out of the rain. We walked the markets and crashed out. The next day we went to this amazing Orchid Garden where we saw thousands of beautiful orchids of every color imaginable. We strolled through the park, sat and enjoyed the breeze and fantastic green tea while watching monkeys play in the trees surrounded by beautiful flowers. Pretty nice way to get back to the peace and quiet we missed so much. We ate dinner at the famous Banana Leaf Restaurant in Little India, where delicious curry is served on banana leafs and you eat with your hands, pretty awesome and great food. We finished our Singapore dash walking the markets of Little India feeling more like being in India than Singapore before waking up at 3am to catch the train to Malaysia.
Singapore was a 30 hour bonanza. Having just come from 5 days 200 miles out at sea without seeing land, let alone another boat or people, and then arriving in one of the busiest cities in the world was quite an experience. We went from a 5 star dive boat with everything catered to you, to subways, crowded markets and very cheap hotels. Overall, it wasn't bad, but next time we will be prepared to spend money in order to enjoy the city. We barely made it out of Australia because the guy at the ticket counter demanded an onward ticket out of Singapore, which we did not have. We made a mad dash for the internet cafe and bought $80 tickets to fly from Phuket in Southern Thailand to Chiang Mai in the north and luckily made the flight by the skin of our teeth. We were so glad to be in Asia, but worried the same thing happened in LA to Adam and Ri. Luckily they had no problem and we were so glad to see them them at the airport. Finally, reunited.....we took the metro to the Little India section of Singapore and found one room available in the worst hostel ever

Kelly really is hardcore. I thought about joining a bootcamp and decided that training for my little half marathon was enough, LOL! I agree with Leslie that Kelly is nuts. It seems silly compared to all the accomplishments of the rest of you, but I ran for one hour, twenty minutes today! I finished strong, with a sprint at the end, and my knee is fine. Okay, the trail is downhill at the end, but having the energy to sprint has to be a good sign. My funky toe went a little numb, but no blisters either! I have no idea how far I ran. I run loop-de-loops on a very small trail system in a local park and I did not want to run the same thing over and over and get bored. Right now, I am not so concerned about distance. If I keep increasing the time, the distance HAS to follow, right? Thank you all SO MUCH for your support and advice. I am beginning to truly believe I can do this! Kitrin

Hey Buddo - Maybe you need to back off the miles for awhile, then slowly build into them again. When you backed off a few weeks ago, your hips were feeling pretty good. Re the marathon - The Bizz Johnson is a rails to trails, so it's basically flat. I only run trails on Saturdays, so unless I'm doing specific hill work, my week day running is on the road. It was suppose to be me, my friend Karen, and our coach, but for various reasons, Karen can't go now. I'm looking forward to it.

The man awakes from a restless sleep and makes himself a pot of coffee. The kitchen light falls down on his wavy hair, more salt than pepper, and his once-youthful body, now a strange topography of sags and folds. He shuffles into the living room, sits down at his desk, and attempts to write. That scene comes early in French writer-director-actor Jacques Nolot's Before I Forget, but it's typical of many that follow in this exquisitely sad, idiosyncratic film à clef about an aging gay gigolo grasping at the embers of memory before they—and he—turn to ash.
This is the third semi-autobiographical feature made by Nolot, who collaborated on the scripts for several André Téchiné movies and may be best known to arthouse audiences as the husband who mysteriously disappears at the start of François Ozon's Under the Sand. In his previous feature, La Chatte à Deux Têtes (which showed up on these shores in 2003 bearing the considerably less allusive English title Porn Theater), Nolot starred as the nameless 50-year-old patron of a crumbling Paris porn cinema who pines for the handsome young man in the projection booth. This time, Nolot's character has a name, Pierre, and he's closing in on 60, but the central themes of the work—decay and loss—remain unwavering.
Nolot plays Pierre with fossilized grandeur, as if he were the last sentry of some pre-AIDS Babylon. When we first encounter him, he's reeling from the latest departure of his older, wealthier, on-again/off-again lover, Toutoune. He travels the Paris streets like an elegant zombie, taking lonely meals in cafés, a small notebook at his side, spying on other men his age and wondering if he looks as tired as they do. He arranges—but doesn't particularly seem to enjoy—a rendezvous with a young hustler who asks him to crouch on all fours and squeal like a girl. He visits his therapist. Mostly, like the backyard traveler of John Cheever's famous short story, "The Swimmer," he drops in on old friends and lovers and tries to take inventory of six decades of a life.
The conversations are frank and unsentimental, ranging over age and disease and the commerce of sex. The going rates for hustlers are bandied about as if they were the latest oil prices. At one point, Pierre refers to Toutoune as "my father, my mother, my bank." And in what may be the movie's pièce de résistance, Nolot crosscuts between the auction of paintings from Toutoune's estate—paintings that were to have been willed to Pierre—and Pierre arranging a delivery (which, we know by this point, will come with more than just groceries) from his local supermarket.
All in fair trade. Though he's HIV-positive, Pierre refuses to take any drugs that will risk making him look "like an Auschwitz victim." But is it any surprise that, for an old gigolo, vanity goeth last before the fall?
At the same time, there are moments of exceptional tenderness here, too, and others in which intimacies are exchanged with no more than a glance or a nearly imperceptible gesture. Before I Forget begins, curiously, with a black dot centered on a white background, slowly growing larger until it cloaks the screen in darkness. But the film culminates in a note of defiance, as Pierre—or is it now just Nolot?—decked out in drag yet somehow at his most naked, stares into the camera and shows us that he will not go quietly into that swallowing void.Find capsule reviews, showtimes & tickets for all films in town.

Pulse breaking and supercontinuum generation with 200-fs pump pulses in photonic crystal fibers
JOSA B, Vol. 19, Issue 11, pp. 2567-2572 (2002)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (222 KB)
We have carried out a detailed experimental study of the behavior of 200-fs pulses in highly nonlinear photonic crystal fiber to elucidate the mechanisms for supercontinuum generation. To avoid unwanted polarization effects, our experiments were performed using polarization-maintaining fiber. The experimental evidence shows that, as in conventional fibers, Raman scattering leads to the breakup of higher-order solitons, which is accompanied by the generation of radiation at shorter wavelengths than the pump, leading eventually to an ultrabroad supercontinuum.

Suh, Won-Joo (2007) 'Etymology and Educational Implication of the Term of 'Museum(博物館)' in Europe and East Asia.' Journal of Museum Education, 1 . pp. 65-84.

The purpose of this paper is to examine the educational implication in the term, 'museum(博物館)', in Europe and East Asia. This paper endeavours to trace the etymological history of the terms respectively. In Europe, the 'museum' was originated from 'Mouseion (Μουσειόν)', the ancient Greek temple where art objects were known to be displayed. In the Roma era, this term was translated into Latin as 'Museum'. Given that the Roman Museum played a different role from current museums, the term is more an etymological origin rather than the functional origin of the modern institution. However, the Greco-Roman 'museums' had an educational role such as teaching and research which is common to the museum of today. During the Renaissance, the term, museum, started to be related to the collection of art works, and, the Ashmolean Museum in the seventeenth century England became the first example of using the term as a modern institutional concept. On the other hand, 'Bakmoolgwan(博物館, museum)', the term commonly used in Korea, China and Japan, was originated from Japan in 1860 and introduced in Korea in 1876 by Ki‐Soo Kim in his book, "the Observation Report (修信使日記)". However, the word 'Bakmool(博物)' was originated from the Chinese ancient literatures such as "Chun Qiu Zuo Dian (春秋左傳)". The word 'Bakmool(博物)' is a combination of two words 'extensive (博)' and 'matter (物)'; however, the whole word tends to mainly refer to 'wide knowledge' than 'many objects' in Chinese and Japanese. In other words, the core concept of the word 'Bakmool (博物)' would be 'knowledge' rather than 'objects'. Therefore, given the etymology of the term, museum (博物館) should be understood in relation to knowledge than objects and the role of the museum should be emphasised in regard to 'research and education' rather than 'the collection'.

"A solid Sea Adventure"
Enjoy Naval adventure in nautical and personal detail.
Of course, Captain Allen Lewrie..center of authors attention. I wanted to see what he caused to happen next.
Yes, John Lee does a good job in English, not so well in other languages. But John Lee is a powerful narrator and is excellent in this series, too.
Allen Lewrie, along with his father, the Colonel.
This was the last of the Allen Lewrie series to be on Audiobook with Audible.com. I assume because its not all naval battles, but deals with personal issues as well as the minutia of a life at sea, the Brtish Naval organization with its colorful characters , as well as the effects of leaving loved one's behind for years at a time.I found the authors concentration in these areas to be rewarding on balance. Not necessary the best of listens for one up mainly for the adventure of Naval warfare. I was interested enough to keep touch with how Allen Lewrie was fairing that I have read the remaining books. And the author is not yet done, as I am certain that the War of 1812 has to be included before the Capatin can retire.Im sure an Admiral by that time.
"King doing Horror"
Avoid gross horror stories...but then it would't be Stephan King.
They were important at emphasizing the story when necessary. The narrators were both excellent.
On balance, even with my reservations, it was worth the listen. I could not finish the repulsive initial story at first. I went back to it after I finished the other stories, perhaps by then oriented to King,'s horror style.I enjoyed some of the stories but at least two of them I could have done without.
"Fun Time Travel,and the future is to be determined"
Yes, wonderful treatment of a brutal event to a sitting President. King hits a homerun with this engrossing, most readible chronicle of the Kennedy assassination.
How time travel can be a disaster, when the main character had the opportunity to visit the revamped future.
The main charactor, but can't remember his name.
Back to the Future and Back Again and Again!
"A rarity, a book I could not get into."
Some action in the first three hours.
In my alloted time(3hrs) to get into a story, the narrative lacked vigor, action, and was a plodding, boring story. Historical novels is my usual fare, but not this one. I assume I lacked patience on this one, May try to listen again later. Presently, I have other enjoyable storiies to hear,
I did not stick around long enough to know.
"A make believe naval adventure,start of a series"
I enormously enjoy nautical story telling, esp in a historical setting , like the British Navy in about 1800. This tale carries WW2 American Naval action well beyond its history and creates a sci-fi adventure every bit as entertaining as the old British Navy in action. Only negative I noted was it seemed more like a young readers book selection, employing very simple phrasing and sentences. All in all, tho, I look forward to the next book in this series as I enjoyed the author's use of his imagination..
Captain Mathew
Approaching the Home, Big Sail and first sea battle with the Grek.
"Narrator should stick to English pronounciations"
A good history of more obscure naval activities in the Adriatic. But I would have liked a bit more military action with real combatants rather than beating up on the illegal merchant trade. A unusual glimpse into muslim and non muslim sensibilities of 200 years ago that still are inplay today. Who would have thought that the Brits would play this race card, even in a clandestine fashion. In this book and the last 2 books in the series, John Lee has been merciless to my ears in his rendition of other than English pronounciations. John spare your loyal listeners your take on French, German, Serbian, etc.
The sailing part.most interesting.The military action and its time in history also of interest. The hero's lustful torments is the least interesting.
Yes, speak clear English only.
There's a long series of books.
"More than I expected!"
If u enjoy the British war novels of the late 18th and early 19th century this one stands out. Set in revolutonary, colonial america east coast waters, this is an opportunity to learn what war against the rebels was like for the brits and the loyalists.I enjoyed both the sea and land military battles. My only complaints was that this cost 2 credits, but worth it. A trip to the library for more audio fare filled my needs for the rest of the month. I already have spent another 2 credits for the next book in the series..II've become an Allen Lewrie fan. Of course having been in the US Navy myself I'm a sucker for stories of sea adventure. Reading this author is recommended.
"Urban Sci-Fi"
Class warfare in the dismal/distant future.. A good Sci-Fi adventure yarn..with an imagination, i enjoyed the literal vertical stratification of societies .A bit of analogy to what's here now. By the way, the narrator, John Lee is the best..
"A Thriller"
Wow, this is a excellent listen of WW2 espionage in Nazi occupied Denmark. Mostly I was on the edge of my seat hopeing for the best.The Hornet's(a small airplane)flight out was something else!! If u want to escape from the present and enjoy defeating the Nazis once again, read/listen to this book..
"Escape from a mundane life, this will help!"
Of course you have to suffer a somewhat slow beginning, but once the action starts it never ends, until it's over. This read/listen made a srong impression on me, far more than a typical fantasy, as Mieville develops analogy and metaphor useful in noting how our own culture compares. Evident in both "Perdido St Station" as well as in "City and the City". If you are willing to imagine the unbelievable as a thesis for people coexisting(or not) with each other, experience this authors work.

Patrick Taurel, Legal Fellow and the American Immigration Council, provides an in-depth look...
AIC Infographic Highlighted in Huffington Post |
Published on Fri, Mar 07, 2014
Recently, the Huffington Post featured an Infographic from the Immigration Policy Center's Fact Sheet "The Cost of Doing Nothing". The article, titled "Why Can't A Nation That Calls Itself A Melting Pot Sort Out Its Immigration System?" highlights the problems with the current U.S. immigration system:
"Detaining and deporting people is extremely costly, and even those who support more deportations admit that deporting everyone isn't feasible. Plus, some reports have found that enacting reform could improve the economy, which means the U.S. could be losing money in two ways by maintaining its current policies.

I used homemade unsweetened applesauce (made from Jonathan apples) in this recipe. Once I was able to get the pumpkin grated, this was quite simple and this turned out wonderfully. I will make this again but try it with pumpkin spice next time.
It's delicious. I made it with homemade unsweetened applesauce and omitted the sugar. I don't miss the sugar a bit and it is much more healthy.
This is a great base that can be used in other recipes as well as eaten on its own. I doubled the recipe freezing half of it. I used homemade unsweetened applesauce and red kuri pumpkin. I also cut down on the sugar by half in one batch. I then used it to replace oil in AR's Pumpkin Pie Muffins and it turned out moist and pumpkin rich! Thanks sueb for sharing.

Using the delete duplicates tool is there a way in Mapbasic to have it run through a large number of tables, or do you have to manually select each table and run the tool?
Cheers, Jon
You can find the MapBasic source code for the Delete Duplicates tool in your MapBasic installations folder: ..\Samples\MAPBASIC\DeleteDuplicates With this you can modify the code to loop thru all open tables or modify the dialog to let the user pick more than one table. |
