By Matthew Thomas Potter - The Heavyweight division is often the most lucrative weight class in boxing and its ultimate accolade - the Heavyweight Championship - is one of the most desired and prestigious in all of sports. This prestige derives from a long history that is populated by elite competitors, controversial characters and household names engaged in gargantuan battles that create legends that live long beyond the moment when the arena lights dip and the crowd heads for the exit.
The current crop of Heavyweights consists of big, strong, well drilled, title holders like the brothers Klitschko Wladimir and Vitali.. The mammoth Ukrainians are closely followed in the rankings by a small, brash, but ultimately unproven, entertainer in David Haye and a handful of mediocre fighters who fill the listless void of no-name talent that inhabit the rest of the Top 10.
Most boxing fans today acknowledge that the balance of power in the division has shifted from the United States to Europe. The traditional African-American archetype of the Heavyweight Champion has been inverted. White Europeans with broken English accents now dominate in an era of mismatches. The Klitschko brothers, who often adopt a relatively cautious approach, are so far above any of their competitors that the division is almost entirely devoid of exciting and potentially explosive fights. So while the title belts held by Mike Tyson, Evander Holyfield, Muhammad Ali, Joe Louis and Rocky Marciano are still floating about, attaching themselves to any old Champion, we have to go all the way back to 2003 to find that last great Heavyweight contest.
When learned and knowledgeable boxing fans talk about what defines a great fight, they often establish the criteria as something like the following; a great fight should have high-level technical skills on show. It should be fought at a fast pace and it must contain enough incident and high-octane action to provide an exciting spectacle. On that basis, Lennox Lewis versus Vitali Klitschko is the last of the great Heavyweight Championship fights. Fought at the Staples Centre in Los Angeles, Lewis the Champion entered the ring for what would be his final fight, at a career high weight of 256lbs. The challenger, Vitali Klitschko, initially appeared an unremarkable foe. He had never held a title, never been in the ring with a household name and hed taken the fight on what seemed like a moments notice.
What followed went down in history as one of the great contests, something that sits comfortably alongside fights like Ali versus Frazier or Tyson versus Holyfield. As the introductions were made a stupor arose in the Staples Center. The fans that packed this great arena could obviously sense something special was about to happen as their excitement reached fever pitch.
Lennox Lewis was an aged Champion, a little out of shape, with one eye firmly fixed on retirement. Vitali Klitschko was in his physical prime and this was his big chance. He wanted Lewiss Championship. But Lewis was in no mood to capitulate. Two man-mountains with a combined weight of over 500lbs engaged each other in an exhausting bout of violent and bedraggled beauty. It was a messy affair, punctuated by clinches, holds, throwing, low-blows, rabbit-punches and wrestling manoeuvres.
As a superficial spectacle, it was nothing special. But what made this a truly great fight was the subtext bubbling beneath the surface. It was a battle of wills, the aged Champ against the hungry young contender. Neither man was willing to budge an inch or to take one backwards step. They became exhausted quickly as the sweltering heat of the lights and the pure physical excursion began getting the better of both.
Round after round ended, and Lewis slumped to his stool. Everyone wondered how much he had left - it looked like the end of his reign and Lewis seemingly needed something divine to keep his challenger at bay.
But it was no twist of fate, or lucky break that opened up a horrific cut above Klitschkos eye. It was clean, effective punching from Lewis and it was enough to salvage the fight and escape with the victory. He had beaten his valiant opponent so badly, so bloodily, that Klitschko couldnt continue. The crowd didnt like it, and Klitschko openly begged for a re-match, but Lewis could retire with a clear victory against the man who would take over as arguably the best Heavyweight of the post-Lewis era.
As we survey the barren landscape of the Heavyweight scene in 2010, we can only hope to see such magnificent days again. Boxing needs a Heavyweight hero.

When a new opera is produced, dozens of artists and craftspeople from various disciplines come together around a shared dramatic and musical vision. This collaboration requires extraordinary skill, and cooperation on a grand scale.
San Francisco Opera's The Bonesetter's Daughter, composed by Stewart Wallace with a libretto by novelist Amy Tan, brought together singers, designers and musicians from three continents. Many were steeped in the Western operatic tradition, but for others, it was an introduction to American opera.
This collection focuses on the joys and challenges of collaboration, with reflections from several of the artists who brought The Bonesetter's Daughter to life.
To design The Bonesetter's Daughter costumes, Han Feng consulted with director Chen Shi-Zheng, and researched fabrics and construction techniques. She then took her drawings and fabric samples to San Francisco to review each scene in the opera with San Francisco Opera's costume director, Daniele McCartan, and costume production supervisor, Christopher Verdosci.

Whose kid has the best Valentine's Day box and why do we as parents make this a competition?
I think DD's class decorated white paper lunch bags. She's in 4th. We bought the cards last weekend and she filled them out and stuck the pencil/magnet in. I had a couple of friends on FB talking about tying 33 or 60 treat bags. One has one kid in school, the other 2. I'm mean. We just do the cards, and if something comes with the cards, DD can handle it. Our school frowns on candy, so none of that.
For most projects, they ask for materials to be sent in. They asked for materials to make a V day bag. I just like the way they do things.
Sorry, but your password must contain an uppercase letter, a number, a haiku, a gang sign, a hieroglyph, and the blood of a virgin
My son is in K so this is my first Valnetine box year, I had no clue it was a competition. I am certainly not going to win with this, i'll let one of the other families take it! How would I even know, no food partoes allowed so all they are doing is exchanging cards and no parents are there

Am I the only one who didn't make a box or bag? DS is in 1st grade, and I've never been asked or even thought to do this. I sent his Valentines with him in a gallon ziploc, so unless they made something in school (which they did last year) that's what they will come home in. In my defense the ziploc has some adorable penguins on it, lol. We like doing crafts around here but this project never occurred to me.

Nice small bag for the Sherwood Wisdom 3 computer. Should work well for transporting it as well as storing it. Only thing I wish it had was a little more padding to protect the computer.

I think they could have done a better job of constructing this item. It is NOT padded, so it really does not provide any protection to the computer.
I would recommend getting a pelican case with padding.

Beyond Mediscare
May 30, 2011, Vol. 16, No. 35 • By YUVAL LEVIN
The House Republican proposal would change Medicare's counterproductive design. It would leave today's seniors and those now 55 or older in the current system, since they have planned their retirements around it. But everyone younger than that would join a redesigned Medicare when they retire. Rather than pay all providers a set fee directly, seniors would use the money (in the form of a premium support payment that would start at current Medicare rates and grow with inflation) to choose insurance plans from a menu of guaranteed private coverage options. Poor seniors and those in the worst health would get significantly greater support, while the wealthiest would receive less. And seniors would be buying guaranteed insurance with limits on out of pocket costs, not paying directly for care. Sebelius's notion that they would simply "run out" of money if they got sick is nothing more than fear-mongering.
Insurers and providers would compete for seniors' dollars. They would be free to find innovative ways to offer better quality at lower costs. That's how markets produce efficiency: by letting sellers find ways to offer buyers what they want at prices they want to pay.
Everyone agrees that such efficiency improvements are essential. As Ryan has put it, the basic choice offered by the parties' competing approaches to Medicare has to do with how efficiency is achieved. It's a choice between giving a board of experts the power to deny care to seniors based on its magisterial judgment of quality and value, and giving seniors the power to deny business to providers based on their individual opinions and priorities.
In principle, therefore, this is a choice between markets and central planning, which should no longer be hard to make. In practice, it is a choice between modernizing Medicare to allow it to continue providing seniors with health security in retirement and letting the program collapse under its own weight.
For politicians, it is also a choice between reforming a program that seniors are comfortable with and leaving it alone despite its fatal problems. Republicans have chosen to deal with that difficulty by leaving current seniors with all the benefits they are accustomed to in the current program and reforming it for the next generation. Democrats have chosen to deal with it by pretending there is no problem, falsely insisting that any reform will harm today's seniors, and leaving a colossal disaster for the next generation. Republicans, in other words, have chosen a policy solution that carries political risk while the Democrats have opted for political advantage.
The Ryan budget's particular approach, of course, is not the only possible way to address Medicare's woes. There is plenty of room to debate alternative solutions. But any effective solution would have to harness market forces to improve the efficiency of our health care system and give seniors more choices.
Unfortunately, the Democrats have opted for no solution at all. That doesn't mean President Obama wants to kill the elderly. But his cynical complaisance and demagoguery do risk killing Medicare, and doing grave damage to the budget and the economy along the way.

BOISE -- A Boise man is in trouble with the law after a fishing incident at a local pond Sunday evening.
A conservation officer with the Idaho Fish and Game Department confronted Anthony Zangl, 24, at a pond near the Boise River off Rose Street for fishing without a license. When confronted Zangl bit the line on his fishing pole. The officer says that was done to keep the hook and bait from being used as evidence against him.
Boise Police officers responded to the scene around 5:40 p.m. As they approached Zangl for questioning, he raised his arms and forcefully pulled away. Zangl was arrested and booked into the Ada County Jail for resisting and obstructing police officers, a misdemeanor.
He is also charged by Idaho Fish and Game for fishing without a license and destruction of evidence. Both charges are misdemeanors.

A MiG 21 fighter aircraft crashed in Punjab's Muktsar district, 150 km from here, on Thursday. Its pilot Flight Lieutenant Anu Akhuria died instantaneously.
Station House Officer Davinder Singh said: "The aircraft was on a routine training exercise, having taken off from the Bathinda Air force Station at 2 p.m. It apparently lost power while taking off, but the pilot could not eject in time."
Quoting eyewitnesses, he said that soon after the takeoff, smoke started coming out of the aircraft.
Senior IAF officials reached the site, near Bhaliana village, to investigate the crash.
There was no casualty or damage to property, since the accident occurred outside the village.
Thursday's crash was the seventh so far this year; earlier four MiG aircraft, a Sukhoi, a Surya Kiran training aircraft and an AN-32 transport aircraft have crashed.

During regular phone calls, which Bonhomme claims St. James managed with the help of voice-altering technology, Bonhomme learned that "James" had a 6-year-old son named "Rhys," an ex-wife named "Krista" and a sister named "Alice."
Not only did "James" talk about his friends and family, Bonhomme alleged that St. James also took on their personas in emails and sent her packages and letters appearing to be from them. "Rhys," Bonhomme said, sent her drawings, and "Alice" sent her several emails.
They also traded several gifts which, according to her suit, cost Bonhomme a total of $10,000.
Bonhomme said that among the "little trinkets" she received from "James" were a kazoo, because he had been llama rancher and played the instrument for the animals; a rubber duck with a firefighter's hat, picked out by his son; and a piece of wood in which he had carved their initials.
In return, she said she gave him an iPod, bath products, assorted DVDs and CDs, wine and other nicknacks. She also sent his "family" gifts too, like a fire truck quilt for his son and a silver necklace for his ex-wife.
At the same time, Bonhomme said she and St. James (as herself) were becoming friends online, frequently exchanging messages about James.
In an email included in Bonhomme's lawsuit she says that in August 2005, St. James sent her an email saying, "I hooked up with Jesse [James] this afternoon. …He looks FABulous. …He talked Paula, Paula, Paula, Paula, More Paula, Paula, and Oh This about Paula for 45 minutes and it was all so good."
The lawsuit claims St. James wrote in other messages, "Whether they LIKE it or not, I'm hooked up to everyone he [Jesse] know[s] somehow" and "he wants you."
Over the course of their relationship, Bonhomme said that she and "James" tried to meet face-to-face, and that she purchased plane tickets to visit him. But as each potential meeting approached, she said some misfortune -- often elaborate -- would befall him.
Plans to meet over Easter fell through when James learned about his long-lost father and wanted to fly to Pakistan to see him, Bonhomme said.
Bonhomme's Friends Confront St. James in Video
When Bonhomme learned of "James'" sudden death -- through a "blunt" email from his sister Alice, she said -- it was St. James who was there to console her. (Although "James'" son "Rhys" sent her a condolence letter and his sister "Alice" sent her emails.)
The day after his supposed death was the first time the two women spoke on the phone and, soon after, they traveled together to Colorado to visit what the lawsuit calls "Jesse-related sites." While there, Bonhomme said St. James produced a letter apparently written by "James" that detailed his "dying wishes" and professed his love for her.
It wasn't until February 2007 -- nearly two years after they connected on the "Deadwood" message board -- that Bonhomme said she learned the truth.
Suspicious of her all-consuming online relationships, Bonhomme's offline friends did some digging. When St. James flew to California on a separate trip to visit Bonhomme's home, the friends confronted St. James about the alleged Internet ruse on video camera.
Now posted to YouTube, the video appears to show St. James responding to the friends' accusations. When asked if she'd apologize to Bonhomme, a woman identified as St. James says "it wouldn't be taken the right way." Later, she says, "I'm not destroying anyone's life." St. James never directly admits to creating a hoax on the video.
After seeing the videotaped confrontation, Bonhomme, who was not present in the video, said she was "in shock for probably the first hour."
"I couldn't understand it. ... Once I had time to think about it, I got really freaked out because I didn't know what would happen," she said. "I was suspicious of everyone, even my new puppy. ...Nothing appeared to be what it was."
Since sharing her experience -- both on a blog and through her lawsuit -- Bonhomme said she's been contacted by at least five other women who claim to have fallen victim to St. James' alleged deception. Bonhomme said one woman, who claimed to be a former roommate of St. James, said she was similarly tricked into a romantic relationship with fake lover through letters in the 1980s.

text: The Crimson Tears wiki last edited by Rahxephon91 on 02/18/14 05:31PM View full history OverviewJapanese Box Art Crimson Tears is a cel-shaded beat-em'-up developed by Spike exclusively for the PlayStation 2. It was published by Capcom in Japan on April 22nd, 2004 and localized for North America and Europe, respectively released in each territory on July 21st, 2004 and November 5th, 2004. The game is a weapon-based beat-em-'up that features a very distinct cel-shaded art style and is set in randomly generated, template-based dungeons. Instead of having traditionally designed levels, Spike incorporated a system that would generate a level according to certain parameters for each area of the game. There are three playable characters, each with their own distinct abilities and combat styles. The game was received to with average reviews and was criticized for it's very repetitive nature, despite the inclusion of randomly-generated dungeons.

LUMBERTON — The Rev. Ron Barnes made it his mission on Saturday to reach young people growing up in the same environment he did.
"I have been in prison. I've fought a lot of battles myself, so what we're trying to do is let young people know those are the things they need to escape and the way to escape is finding not a change but a different lifestyle and that's what we're trying to do provide," said Barnes, a Robeson County native.
Barnes organized the Illuminate Youth Explosion, held Saturday afternoon at Lumberton High School, to get local youth away from drugs, gangs and violence.
"The one thing I want them to leave with here today is knowing the faith-based community and the Christian life is one of happiness and joy and one where we love them regardless of their situation and what they're going through and we're here for them," Barnes said.
Orlando. Fla.-based comedian Dee Lee, although he typically performs for older crowds, was more than happy to bring that message of joy to members of the Ron Barnes Live Ministry and the Robeson County community.
"A lot of people think that when you give your life to Christ, your life is going to be boring, it's going to be corny … but now we realize, wow wait a minute, I can get out their and live a full life," he said.
The event's location on the high school's football field lent itself to Lee's show.
"I touch on life subjects, a lot of people just stay on church … Church is not just within four walls," he said.
The theme of the performance? Second chances.
"I don't care if you're a gang member or a stripper or somebody who is on or used to sell drugs, a life-changing experience can happen," he said. "Life is not over."
Volunteers and members of the ministry stressed the event was for everyone.
"It just seems like unity is something we need more now than ever, with gangs and everything else that's going on. The Bible speaks highly of unity. When people come together they can do anything …," said Shon Pevia, who is on the Ron Barnes Live Ministry's board of directors and works as general sales manager at Peterson Toyota, one of the event's sponsors.
In addition to Lee's performance, the event included a talent show, music, games and food. Proceeds from a $3 entry fee will go towards the ministry's food and clothing bank in Lumberton, Five Porches of Bethesda. The food bank has helped feed people as far away as Kentucky.
Members of Divine, a local gospel band, also took to the stage in addition to five talent-show acts.
"A lot of our songs are that youthful-generation that they're gearing towards, so [Barnes] asked us to be a part, and of course anything that he does, we believe in," said Hollie Oxendine, whose vocals accompanied Robert Cole, Lee Oxendine, Sequoyah Butler, Victor Oxendine, Jonathan "JohnBoy" Chavis and James "YoGi" Neal.
"If we only have five peoeple and all five of those gave their hearts to the Lord, it would be a success," Oxendine said.
After two months of hard work to put together the event, Pevia said just having it makes it a success.
"Just being here is a success, letting the community know that we can do this …. Even if just one person smiles today, if one child is out here playing in this area we have set up," he said.
Dixie Jacobs was certainly smiling despite the 100-degree heat. Jacobs comes from Fairmont every Tuesday to participate in the ministry's Bible study group.
"I've really enjoyed it, and I'm quiet," she said. "I'm talking more today than I've ever talked."

The Italian Football Federation has stunned Serie A clubs by reducing the number of non-EU players Italian clubs can register each season from two to one.
The Lega Calcio - the body that protects the interests of those clubs in Serie A - hasn't welcomed the news.
"The Lega doesn't want to reduce the number from two to one," Sergio Campana, the President of the Italian Footballers Association, said.
"We need to start a policy that limits the foreigners and values the academies. The reduction from two to one has been passed by the Federal Counsel even though the Lega wasn't agreed."
Lazio President Claudio Lotito is one of the first to condemn the ruling.
The Biancocelesti had deals lined up to sign two non-EU players this summer and will now have to shelve them, hindering their pre-season.
"This decision penalises some Serie A clubs who had table bids that now cannot be concluded," Lotito said. "Perhaps it was better to postpone the decision until the next transfer window [in January].
"This solution will not resolve all of Italian football's problems, but now is not the moment to make trials."

Avoid password fatigue with a password storage system
Password Management
Keeping track of all your passwords can be tricky. Kurt says: Keep your friends close and your passwords closer.
While I was writing this article, I ran across a great phrase so perfect for this month's topic that I have to share it with you: "password fatigue" [1]. Because we all have multiple accounts with different usernames, passwords, security questions, PIN numbers, and whatnot, we end up with way too many passwords.
Often you can't use the same username (e.g., because your name has already been taken or the system assigns a name), and you definitely should not use the same password (a compromise of one system would then let the attacker into all your accounts). As for security questions, you should never use "real" information (like your zip code), because this information is easily discovered and used to reset or recover your password from the service provider. To be safe, you need to choose a good strong password – different for each site you use. I personally have around 350 passwords, security questions, and so on, of which I probably use 50-100 on a regular basis. And it drives me nuts.

Which Linux should I get.

Which Linux should I get.
I have 2 PC's. One lousy one (AMD K6-2 500[Underclocked to 400]) with an ATI Rage IIC (Only drivers are 2D), Nic card and an AMD Athlon XP 2000+ with a kickin' NVidia GeForce4 (TV out), firewire, usb, bluetooth, NIC... just basically my dream PC. My problem is I can't use it. It's in one room and my lousy PC is in another. I have permission to put in my own hard drive and linux on it. So basically two questions.

#1... Which linux do I use... I've been thinking SUSE(By process of elimination) but someone complained about the current linux driver not working with the non-bugged kernel.

#2 How do I get the power of my Living Room PC through my ethernet cable (2 NIC cards and a crossover cable) to my lousy pc. I just want to send 2D images because... Well even if there is lag... serving the video is still faster then letting my ATI Rage IIC (Not) Handle it. The CPU would be forced to do ALL the 3D encoding and... that just won't do. Keep in mind that I still need to be able to use the power of the NVidia and the processor. Basically all I'm trying to do is use the lousy PC as a monitor, keyboard, mouse, and maybe parallel port because I have the wickedest controller (PSX). I haven't even installed it yet because... well... XP isn't cooperating. It won't use the modem and my mother (who really didn't even pay for the PC!) is really LOUD. So basically when we argue I lose... and go partially deaf. I can't get the networking under XP/98 to work so I'm going to install linux on both machines via FTP. Now a new problem arises.
#2.5 A small other problem that I have is that I use MSN servers to get to the internet. Their PPP servers may give me a bit of trouble when installing. If anyone has the solution... just tell me. I want linux really bad and want to learn OpenGL programming.
# Eratta: Also if anyone has the linux drivers for those buttons on those keyboards that use Airboard Manager (Wireless IR 3 button) I would appreciate it. And I'm not sure if the Modem on the other one works so if anyone knows how to have modem data sent through ethernet as well as everything else I mentioned... Speak UP.
# Speaking of speaking. My little tip. For the ViaVoice RPM go to the XVoice yahoo e-group and search for download.
Not sure if it's the full thing or an upgrade. It begins with www6.ibm.com/
Have a nice day.
AMD athlon XP, NVidia GeForce4 with TV out and 128MB of ram. And (Coming soon) Linux.

Your letters: April 20, 2010
Nuclear power plants
Re: Joseph Mangano's April 16 column, "Health threat at Diablo":
Apparently, Mangano just woke up and found himself in the 1970s. This kind of unsubstantiated fear-mongering is one more example of out-dated views that damage society's attempt to "clean up our act" by promoting a clean, safe and sustainable energy environment.
He quotes "official statistics" while failing to name the source. National Cancer Institute statistics show the death rates from cancer in Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties have actually fallen over the past decade and are lower than the death rate statewide. Simple statements like "official statistics show" can be based on anything — whatever supports a specious argument.
There are 104 commercial nuclear power plants producing 20 percent of the electricity in the United States. They are located at 64 sites in 31 states. In more than 30 years of operation, there hasn't been a single serious safety incident.
To quote Greenpeace co-founder Dr. Patrick Moore, "You would have to live near a nuclear power plant for more than 2,000 years to get the same amount of radiation exposure that you receive from a single diagnostic medical X-ray."
A simulation conducted by the Center for Strategic and International Studies concluded nuclear plants "are probably our best defended targets," with the industry spending $1.2 billion in security following Sept. 11, 2001.
Nuclear power enhances America's energy security and economic growth, helps attain cleaner air and improves the quality of life, health and economic well-being for all Americans. As citizens, we need to reach out on our own and learn the truth while vigorously challenging those who would propagate misinformation intended to further some nonconstructive personal agenda.
— Steve Booth, Oxnard
Better ways to spend
Re: your April 14 article, "Planners OK angled parking for The Lakes in T.O."
My family and I have patronized each of the fine restaurants at The Lakes many times and have never had a problem finding a parking spot.
I also use both our libraries and hope that the $850,000 refund that the Board of Supervisors voted to repay Thousand Oaks is given to the libraries and not to construct angled parking at The Lakes.
— Rick Esler, Newbury Park
Lawmakers' choice
Re: your April 18 article, "Citation revenues split many ways":
As a recipient of one of these citations, I found this article very informative. It states that "lawmakers continue to look at traffic citations as a way to pay for measures."
Who are these lawmakers making these decisions? Did they consult with any voters? Are these lawmakers going to raise state gasoline taxes 400 percent by calling it a fee? If not, why not? How about raising state income tax by 100 percent by calling it a state educational fee?
It is obvious that government (federal and state) is quietly taking over the decision-making for our citizens. Why bother with voting for tax increases? Let our governmental caretakers make those tough decisions for us! This saves us the need to use our brains!
— Bill Harris, oorpark
Respect the laws
If you don't want to pay traffic fines, comply with the law. It's that simple.
Note to legislators: Increase the fines, both traffic and criminal, because some are ridiculously low, like for cell phone usage while driving and, therefore, have no deterrent factor.
Possible consequences of higher fines: 1. More compliance with the laws. 2. More revenue for state and local governments. 3. Both!
— Christine Weidenheimer, Ventura
Changing Californians
The Star's article regarding citation revenues made me think of the evolution of a California resident:

Truth and service
Re: Bob Brooks' April 16 column, "Setting the record straight," and Geoff Dean's March 26 column, "Keep politics out of county sheriff's office":
Sheriff Brooks said: "Dishonesty is a terminal offense for any deputy sheriff because we need to protect the public's trust. Honesty and trustworthiness are absolute requirements for a deputy sheriff at any rank."
I will believe the truth however it comes.
— Carroll Dean Williams, Ventura
Surrogate sheriff
Re: Bob Brooks' April 16 column, "Setting the record straight":
Ouch! Sheriff Brooks completely missed the target. Apparently, Brooks is running for sheriff through his surrogate, Dennis Carpenter.
Geoff Dean, meanwhile, has secured the unequivocal endorsements of former Sheriff Larry Carpenter, former District Attorney Mike Bradbury, five independent city chiefs of police, numerous county and city elected officials, associations representing county deputies, firefighters, deputy district attorneys, police officer associations, and respected community and business leaders. This speaks volumes in earned respect, trust and confidence in Dean's proven ability to become Ventura County's top law enforcement leader.
Having spent 23 years active duty as an Army field artillery officer, from Vietnam to Germany's Fulda Gap, it is easy to spot leaders. Dean is a true, superb, tested leader. He leads from the front; he intuitively inspires his peers and subordinates to be the very best.
Dean has the integrity and vision to lead the Sheriff's Department with his winning personality, which will instill top esprit, morale and refreshing rededication to superb, involved, community oriented law enforcement. He's ready and needed now to be Ventura County sheriff.
— Bob Pinkerton, anta Paula
Scouts deserving
Re: April 17 article, "Politics get in the way of honoring the Boy Scouts":
Congratulations to the Boy Scouts for contributing to the betterment of U.S. society (indeed, the world) for 100 years! The Conejo Valley is fortunate to have quite a few active troops that have worked hard to maintain and improve our quality of life, and have allowed many young men to learn that the best things in life are often associated with helping others and giving back to their communities.
The Boy Scouts promote honesty, integrity and service to others. California and the Conejo Valley are better off with the Boy Scouts (and Girl Scouts) in our communities.
I am very disappointed that the California Assembly does not recognize this.

And they're not cheap.
Was hoping for gymnastics tickets but not at £450 a go.
Did you see the top price for the opening ceremony?
They'd have to guarantee me EC pole vaulting for me to pay that.
£50 to watch the Marathon? Is that not just run around the streets of London?
There'll be some sessions where I can buy Steven a ticket from £9 but he'll have to go on his own.
Maybe I'll just go to Disney World instead.
I'm thinking that at over $300 per ticket (best seats)to see the Equestrian final is a bit steep when I can watch it at home, with probably a better view, and in my comfy clothes for a whole lot less (Let's not even discuss the cost of getting to the UK and finding a hotel)

Oz Govt Pushes Ahead With ISP Customer Data Retention 67
from the security-through-rampant-privacy-violation dept.
If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear. Why is your bathroom door shut, anyway? What are you hiding in there?
Average facebook user tbh.
copyright infringement is 'Terrorism' or 'Pedophilia'
Let's see...
By copying music, you are creating more playable media.
Therefore the copied music will be played more often.
Which means more people will be exposed to the copied music.
This will result in more people bying the music they just heard.
By definition, copied music is music that has already been released in some original form.
People are now buying music by artists that already released music.
They don't equally increase spending on artists that have yet to release music.
It is within reason to assume current children will want to make and release music in the future.
Therefore, copying music is basically screwing children.
Copying is pedophilia! It is logically proven.
Now as for terrorism...

Bill Vajda - CIO
Bill Vajda came to the Education Department in 2006, one of priorities was to consolidate back office systems from e-mail to software licenses.
Six months into the contract called Educate, Vajda is pleased with the results.
He says the contract's most dramatic affect has been on the way the agency does business. To do this, Education is using a managed services approach where the vendor is responsible for making sure certain performance levels are met. And Education now can focus on improving its mission areas.
Vajda says that also means Education employees must understand what results they are looking for and not be concerned with how the vendor gets there. It's all about meeting or exceeding customer service expectations.
Beyond the changes brought on by Educate, Vajda wants Web portal technologies, technical services and budgeting tools to help the agency meet its mission.

Welcome, Unregistered.

Instructional thread!It's been brought to my attention that it would be helpful (and yet I'll do this anyway) for people to be instructed on the uses of:
Ignore thread
Ignore user
Personal stickies
PM only from buddy list
Let's take these one at a time shall we?
Ignore thread is a wonderful option where you can click either on the button at the end of the title in the forum page of in the quick link once inside of offending thread. Those who dislike the "quiz" threads for example could easily avoid seeing them by using this option.
Ignore user is very nice if you have someone who is bothering you or you'd just like to not have to even bother rolling your eyes at. Click on their name and in their personal profile is a link to chose to ignore them. I'm sure there are other ways to do this also, but this is how I have applied the feature.
*Also, If you have a user on ignore, then you won't see their threads in the normal forum view. You'll only see them on the main forums page, where it shows that there's a new post in that thread.
*thank you WentAway*
Personal stickies are also in the quick thread links inside the thread. It's very handy if you wish to keep track of a specific thread. This helps to avoid repeated bumping of threads.
PM only from buddy list is a wonderful new feature. You can make certain people your buddy and then chose the option in your User CP options settings to only receive PMs from them. Thus, you can still keep in contact with them and not have to receive them from anyone else...except MODS of course.
Thank you. This ends our public service announcement!

I know that some are hoping for a combined feature for ignore all threads from certain members but we'll have to wait for that one.
BTW - Some people think it's incredibly rude to use the ignore list.

Nvidia Xconfig difficulties
Hello. This is my first, I am a genuine Linux newbie. My platform is Red Hat Enterprise 3.
I tried to install drivers for my NVidia Quadro FX3000 graphics adaptor. However, I cannot get the shell script to execute, even after changin the boot mode from 5 to 3, and following all the instructions per this forum, and the Nvidia website. So I decided to download the X config installer. Now, my problem is, I can't find any instructions for this utility.
Can someone provide me a link for the instructions, or at least tell me where to extract the files to?
Thank you in advance.
Re: Nvidia Xconfig difficulties
Here is a link to nvidias readme for xconfig.
Actually it is part of a 'howto' guide, so you may find more info that you need within its contents.
Re: Nvidia Xconfig difficulties
Thanks for that. The problem is, before I can use the tool, I have to actually be able to open it. Yes, I'm that dense...
I have no idea where to extract the folders to, and I don't see any instructions from Nvidia on this.
Thanks again for your reply.
Re: Nvidia Xconfig difficulties
either you set the "x" (for eXecute) permission, or add a "sh" in front of the
shell script...
Re: Nvidia Xconfig difficulties
I'm not kidding when I say that I'm new at this...
Re: Nvidia Xconfig difficulties
(or if you have a AMD64/EM64T Distribution get this one instead: NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-1.0-8762-pkg2.run).
Are you sure you installed successfully "one" of these?
Re: Nvidia Xconfig difficulties
I tried going through the instructions, to get it to work by manually configuring, but with no luck. I guess I just don't understand something.
I keep getting x server errors.
Re: Nvidia Xconfig difficulties
I guess in all of this, my question keeps gettin avoided - WHERE do I extract the files to?
Once I have extracted them, what is my next step?
Again, Red Hat Linux Enteprise 3....
Re: Nvidia Xconfig difficulties
There is nothing that you need to extract. You run the driver installer, and it performs the build & installation of everything for you.
Just run "sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-8762-pkg1.run" as root, and it will become clear.
Re: Nvidia Xconfig difficulties
OKay, from the top...
Here is where I am going to get the downloads:
Being that it's a tar.gz file, I'm pretty sure that there is some extraction that needs to take place there. (hence the question, "where do I extract the files to?")
I opted to try the utility, because I was unable, and altogether unsuccessful in attempting to edit the x config file manually. Running the driver installer without editing the x config file leads to X server errors.
Does this make my issue any clearer?
Thank you.
Re: Nvidia Xconfig difficulties
nvidia-xconfig ships with the driver package. If you install the driver package, you'll get nvidia-xconfig automatically in your $PATH. This is all covered in the driver README.
Re: Nvidia Xconfig difficulties
OK, so I got it to install. The only problem is, I don't see the driver in the list!
My card is an Nvidia Quadro FX3000. The device manager defaults to Nvidia FX (generic) with a memory value of 8 MB. I cannot adjust the resolution of my screen - rather I can, but it does no good.

Mariko smiled slightly and responded. "I shall never forget Anjin-san, for the spectacle I witnessed was truly delightful and entertaining. I shall always reflect upon it whenever I see you, whether we're together privately or together publicly and formerly in the presence of Lord Toranaga himself."
Blackthorne looked to her in misery and desire and as she saw yet another erection popping within his kimono she smiled flirtatiously and withdrew from his grasp. She smirked as she closed the door while waving her little fingers. "Good night Anjin-San."

|Minimum Stay
|4 nights
SPECIAL OFFER! 10% off villas or apartment, free airport tfrs, book 7 nights or more June, July & Aug 2015 book by 30 April!
A perfect base for exploring the unspoilt North of Grenada!
These simple, elegant, oceanfront Beach Houses boast picture-perfect views across the pool and gardens leading onto beautiful Bathway Beach.
Each spacious, detached, 2-bedroom house (extra bedroom for a child in Pelican!) has a Queen bed in one ensuite bedroom, and two Extra-Long Twins in the second ensuite bedroom.
Our new garden apartment offers 1 Queen bed with an ensuite shower room
The villas each have two large balconies with teak loungers and an outdoor dining area, the apartment a sunny and spacious patio. Accommodation includes a full kitchen and original art on the walls. A shared saltwater pool, free Wireless Internet (wifi), and other special touches to help make this your perfect holiday hideaway.
See a link to our website for more information & photos at the bottom of this page. Please note: Villas are not suitable for children under the age of 8.
Local Attractions: In addition to the natural beauty of Bathway Beach and neighbouring Levera National Park, we are lucky to have beautiful old Plantation Houses which include the Morne Fendue Plantation House (also known as the Betty Mascoll House) where you can tour the House and Gardens where Princess Margaret and US President Ronald Regan visited, and enjoy lunch or dinner. Helvellyn House offers lunches, and famous Belmont Plantation is an easy drive away where you can take their fun chocolate growing tour and enjoy the grounds - and lunch! We are also a short drive from the oldest working rum distillery in the Caribbean - at the River Antoine Rum Distillery where you can tour the facilities while they continue to produce rum the same way they did in the 18th century - with much of the same equipment and a working water mill! Closer still are the River Sallee Boiling Springs, known for their unique geology, and as a natural wishing well.
Dining Nearby: The North of Grenada has some wonderful restaurants, in addition to the charming nearby beachfront shacks serving Chicken or Fish & Chips, there is Aggie's - where you can enjoy local dishes such as Pepper Pot, lobster (in season) or some wonderful Austrian selections. Helena's, in Sauteurs, offers fresh local cooking (and wonderful rotis!) which are enjoyed on the balcony overlooking the sea or along long tables inside. The Heights is a firm favourite, where you can enjoy lazy lunches or drinks with unsurpassed views up the Grenadines, or a relaxed dinner in the evenings. There is always fresh local fish on the menu, served in tempting dishes! A moment further along the same road is Petit Anse with plenty of seating inside their restaurant and bar area, as well as along their balcony to enjoy the wonderful view. A range of dishes from comfortingly familiar to more sophisticated meals, served in wonderfully relaxed setting tempts you to stay a little longer.

A Perfect hideaway in Northern Grenada
We (2couples), stayed for 4 nights in Pelican Villa, and had a wonderful stay. Kitty, the owner is an amazing organiser who knows everyone in the area and can sort out anything!!!
The villa is very comfortable, right on the beach. As it's elevated it has amazing views and catches the breeze so keeps a comfortable temperature. The surrounding area is quiet but interesting and we would say that a car is essential. Kitty organised a taxi to meet us at the airport and a hire car to be delivered next day.
If unspoiled areas are for you, Pelican Villa is the place to stay. We loved it and were sorry to leave.
What I liked best about this accommodation: "Everything"
I Recommend This For: "I probably would recommend this accommodation to my best friend!"
· By HelenCSouthYorkshire from South Yorkshire on 1/19/2014 for a stay in 1/1/2014
(note, 5 stars were awarded!)
I next to never go back to a property or location since there is so much to see and so little time, but I would go back the Moonfish Villas, Bathway Beach and Grenada!
Our family stayed in both the Pelican and Beachcomber for a week and had a holiday that was both fun and relaxing. I can't really think of anything that could have made it better.
The positive experience starts with how easy Kitty was to deal with when we were booking and organizing our vacation. She is quick to respond to inquiries and has great suggestions for things like car rental (MacIntyre's service and cars were excellent), local places to eat, day trips, etc. She and Russ are the perfect hosts; there when you need them and virtually invisible when you don't.
The homes are very clean, nicely decorated, comfortable and perfect for a casual beach holiday getaway when you really don't need or want to spend a lot of time indoors. The kitchens have everything you need to make all meals if you choose to eat in. There are a couple of places to eat within walking distance, Aggie's would be the best, but otherwise you have to drive to get any sort of variety.
The location, homes and hosts are ideal if you are looking for a quiet holiday on a secluded beach. I'd highly recommend (and have already) Moonfish Villas to family and friends.
We wanted the perfect unspoilt beachside location and this is it! Kitty's description and photos of the location and the property were spot on and the Bathway Beach area is truly beautiful. We were welcomed with a basic grocery shop done for us and a meal from a local restaurant, Aggie's, delivered to our door by Kitty as we arrived on Valentine's Day. Kitty also arranged for us to be collected from the airport and a hire car to be delivered to our door the next day, all part of the service. A perfect Caribbean Escape!
We wanted a quiet getaway and both Grenada and Moonfish Villas were perfect for us. Moonfish is tucked away on the Northeast end of the island. There are two rental villas which will likely come to feel like your own by the end of your stay. The living quarters are clean, comfortable and connected to a patio. Walk upstairs to your own kitchen, living and dining room. The upstairs is also connected to a balcony with a breathtaking view of the Atlantic. Electricity, Wi-Fi and telephone are all available.
You can spend the day doing nothing but looking at the view and on your balcony or relaxing poolside. The property is on Bathway Beach so you can take relaxing walks or go swimming in a designated swimming area a few minutes down from the villas. If you feel the desire to adventure, the owners can set up a rental car for you so that you can explore the picturesque island laced with semi trafficked roads which would make any rally car racer content.
The center of the island is a mountainous rainforest that offers many hiking trails and waterfalls. The South of the island is where you will find most of the activities and it is also the touristy part of the island. Kayaking, snorkeling and scuba diving are all great adventures in the South. Closer to home there are multiple hot springs, beaches and historical sites.
It would be wise to stock up provisions in St. Georges though, you will find what you need around Bathway. Adrian "Spaceman" Mitchell runs the local shop (5 minute drive) which you will find day to day provisions. Sauters is only 15 minutes by car and they have all you will need to fill your kitchen. The closest major city is Grenville which has plenty of shopping for both provisions and souvenirs. Though, if you would prefer to head out for your meals there are some great restaurants which range from fry ups to fine dining. The Heights is a culinary must, located in Sauters. If you are lucky enough to find yourselves in the area on Friday, just another 20 minute drive from Sauters would land you in Victoria for "Fish Friday" which is a great event full of local food and fun.
Grenada is a fantastic Caribbean getaway with lots to offer and I am positive that we will return. Moonfish is perfect to make the home away from home vacation a reality.
Before traveling I always do a thorough due diligence on where to go and where to stay, I must have looked at a 100 houses and contacted at least 40 of them before making my decision when renting Moonfish Villas for our stay over Christmas for 5 day last Christmas, before going out sailing in the Grenadines.
When I found Moonfish villas I nearly instantly realized that this was the place for us, and after coming into contact with Kitty it's owner and the warm and welcoming email she sent me I knew that this would be the perfect stay. Kitty then helped me arrange our entire stay from pick up at the airport to rental car and day trips, Kitty truly walks the extra mile for her guests.
Arriving at the villa all of our hopes were met and more, we got the most heartwarming welcome even though we arrived during the night. Kitty and Russ greeted us and showed us the house, making sure we had all we needed. Opening the doors to the veranda the first time was an amazing experience; the sea is right there and the sound of the waves breaking and the smell in the air truly make you feel you have found your own piece of paradise. The house itself is impeccable, it is so new and fresh, nicely decorated with all the amendments you could need.
The northern part of the island is of course a bit secluded from the hustle and bustle of the south but you felt that you really get to experience the true Grenada. We went shopping in the local village had delicious food from the roadside plain air barbeques, and just a stroll down the beach you had the true local beach life we came looking for. It is a bit of a drive but if you are here for relaxation in a paradise surrounding this is the part of Grenada you will find it. We stayed in the southern part for just two nights after sailing and it was nice to but not to compare with what we got staying at Moonfish villas.
I would recommend anyone to stay at the Moonfish Villas when they are in Grenada, it has beautiful setting, the villa I impeccable, beaches restaurants and local villages just around the corner. It might be secluded but you never feel alone reassured that you have you host close to help meet any of your needs. The entire experience was great and we will cherish the memories for a lifetime.
We (couple over 50, two daughters, 21 and 24) spent two weeks at Moonfish and enjoyed our "own" beach house, the pool and on some days the beach. Waves can be quite rough and noisy :-), the sea breeze is great.
We rent a car and would recommend it to anyone. You can explore Grenada, drive to the Caribbean side for swimming, do your shopping in Santeurs (around 15 minutes by car) and have there a great meal in the local restaurant "Helenas".
Nearby (walking distance) we can recommend Aggie's (try the breadfruit balls!) for dinner and lunch and also the Water Club: although it is only a beach cottage the nice couple cooked what ever we asked them to do (chicken breast, fish….) and arranged a boot trip to Sandy Island where they made a wonderful fish soup for us there.
Moonfish villas are lovely furnished with attention to the detail, cosy and well equipped.
What a view from the balconies on both floors!
Thanks to Kitty – she was always there with great support and advises. She arranged a small shop so that we had food on arrival, organised perfectly the transport from and to the airport, gave us lots of information in advance via E-Mail. According to our wishes she arranged a lady to come on several mornings which made pancakes & omelettes for us and cleaned the villa a little bit.
We felt so welcomed and comfortable.
The whole area is pretty untouched - most of the time we had the beach more or less to ourselves but on weekends the locals will have there barbecues there - - great atmosphere with music and rum :-) They made us very welcome, have not met so friendly people before!
We made lots of trips to discover Grenade (to drive a car – on the left side – needs quite often strong nerves :-) as streets are curvy and narrow and the locals love fast driving) and love especially Grand Anse with its white Caribbean beach. We drove round the island and used the street along the coast – amazing views! But we always tried to be "home" before darkness :-)
Don't miss the rum factory nearby and the chocolate fabric - a must: taste the 71% chocolate!
Our daughters missed "nightlife" a little bit but for us "oldies" it was a perfect place to relax and take time out to breathe.
My family spent Christmas and New Years at Moonfish and we wish we had spent another two weeks more. The first thing that gets you is the sound of the waves - so relaxing. The second thing is the fabulous sea breeze that keeps you cool even though the temperatures are quite high.
The cottage is great for family or friends and Bathway Beach is an unspoiled area of Grenada, minus tourists. Just what we wanted.
I can't say enough about Kitty our fabulous host. She called me before our arrival to arrange a small shop so that we would have food on arrival. She organised our rental car (plus baby seat) for us, and she told us about all the hidden gems to visit while there. She had baby cot, high chair and playpen set up so I did not have to travel with those bulky items. And she's found and arranged for the few things left behind to be sent to me. That IS customer service at its best!
A quick note that even though we had a baby with us the cottage is more suited to older kids and not young toddlers/children.
The views from the cottage are spectacular and we were able to organise and cook our meals in comfort and with ease. I do recommend Aggie's down the road though.... she cooks great seafood. You have to walk to the swimming part of the beach, but the pool is there for lazy day lounging if you wish. This is a great place to stay and you will be sure to enjoy your stay just as much as we did.
Every guide book talks of 'breathtaking', 'unspoilt', Bathway Beach. This is the heart of authentic, hidden Grenada. Discover historic plantation houses, haunting Carib's Leap and evocative Helvellyn House with its' famous pottery. Grand Etang National Reserve is just 30 minutes drive away. Within 15 minutes drive are shops and supermarkets and a number of restaurants ranging from the formal to the charming. However, just a few minute's walk along the beach are 3 ramshackle 'chicken shacks' serving freshly caught fish and chicken of course and behind them is the popular Aggie's restaurant. For nature lovers Levera Beach is moments away, a secluded haven for birds and sea turtles, including the giant Leatherback. 'This is Turtle watching is at it's best!' Local fishermen will take you fishing or for a day's picnic and snorkelling on Sandy Island (which lies opposite the beach house) where the famous Bounty Chocolate bar adverts were filmed – this truly is 'A taste of paradise'.

Re: Mysterious folder name "A" folder created an OS system won't finish stating up in response to YmirJr
Hello YmirJr,
Just checking, was this other Mac you installed Tiger from a PPC Mac also, not an IntelMac?
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at the top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the Erase tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. Highlight the drive, select Partition Tab, then Format type... MacOS Extended Journalled, select the Security Options button, choose Zero Out Data, Erase... after completion hopefully you'll be able to get a good install.
