Despite substantial losses, Warriors return experience, leadership
WATCH: Head Coach Diana Pepin (below, left) and senior All-America Arielle Cooper (below, right) are interviewed by Nick Aconfora previewing the season. (13.45)
WILLIMANTIC, Conn. -- In no other team sport is success more predicated on one position than it is in fastpitch softball, where a dominant pitcher can transform a bad team into a respectable one, a good one into a great one and a great one into a national champion.
Above: Senior pitcher Christine Akcer
For four years, four-time All-America Molly Rathbun was that pitcher for the Eastern Connecticut State University softball program, where her strong right arm turned a good - in many instances, very good - team into one which competed for national championships.
On Friday, 11 letterwinners - seven of them starters - will begin to address the question of whether a very good starting nine with the potential of playing outstanding defense and producing a large number of runs - is enough to return the Warriors to the NCAA Division III national tournament for the third time in four years.
Head coach Diana Pepin, who has coached and played on many of the best teams in program history - including a national champion -- feels that it could be.
"I would say that we are a slightly above-average team that has good cohesion, which I think makes a dominant team," says Pepin, already the program's winningest head coach heading into 12th season. "I will say that we will take some bumps and learn from them. But our offense and defense is solid. We won't get 300 strikeouts (Rathbun averaged 283 per season, twice eclipsing the 300-strikeout plateau in a season), but with this defense, there really is no reason to have physical errors."

For Eastern, the loss of Rathbun's arm (103 wins) and bat (28 HRs/303 total bases) are not the only hurdles to overcome in its quest for a sixth straight NCAA tournament berth and fourth consecutive Little East Conference regular-season and tournament titles. Also lost is All-New England Region rightfielder Priscilla Alicea - who amassed the most hits in program history over a four-year career - and pitcher/DP Kassondra Silva from a team which ripped off 40 straight victories and finished with a record 44 triumphs against but three losses in 2012.
The presumed return of Silva was expected to soften the blow of Rathbun's loss, but the backup pitcher (8-0 last year) and cleanup hitter (.314) sustained complications from the ACL surgery which kept her out of the 2011 season and will not return to complete her eligibility.
"This is going to be a pitching staff this year, and we have to figure out who complements who and how we can take advantage of their strengths," stresses Pepin.
The losses of Rathbun & Co. are more of quality than quantity, however; thus, the outside expectations remain high. For the third straight season, Eastern is the pre-season coaches' pick to repeat its LEC title, garnering six of eight first-place votes to earn a ten-point margin over runner-up Keene State College.
At right: Senior first baseman Kelly Paterson
The respect extends beyond the region, however, with the eight-member NFCA national poll board ranking Eastern among its Top 10 in each of the five polls to date. Before playing a game, Eastern moved ahead of 2012 regional champion Tufts University into sixth place nationally in what will be the final poll (released Wednesday) before the Warriors must begin to substantiate their lofty status on Friday with season-opening contests against Williams Paterson University and Concordia University-Wisconsin at Clermont, FL.
"Even though Molly and Priscilla were complete team players, their teammates knew that they could rely upon them heavily (last year)," said Pepin. "Now, the players have to rely upon everyone to contribute. They understand that from 1-through-18, we need everyone to contribute in some way, shape or form."
Rathbun's solo act may be replaced this year by a group effort consisting of senior Christine Akcer (Milford), sophomores Erin Miller (Waterford), Sam Rossetti (Shelton), and Shannon Martin (Wethersfield) and freshman Emily Komornik (Shelton).With a 19-5 record and 3.12 ERA in 44 career appearances, Akcer, who is slowly returning from a pre-season calf strain, is the only one of the five with substantial pitching experience on the college level. As freshmen, Miller and Rossetti saw a combined total of only seven innings spread over six relief appearances.
Despite the staff's relative inexperience, Pepin is encouraged by their off-season and pre-season work ethic and by their progress under the tutelage of Rathbun, serving this year as pitching coach.
The return of seven starters - including the catcher, three-quarters of the infield and two-third of the outfield -- could make up for the lack of a true pitching ace. The Warriors feature versatility, veteran leadership and post-season savvy in senior corner infielders Arielle Cooper (Mystic) and Kelly Paterson (Southington), and juniors Megan Godwin (Manchester), Megan Bondy (Mystic), Stephanie Johnson (Plantsville) and Mattie Brett (Waterford).
Cooper returns from a 2012 All-America season for her fourth starting season at third base and Paterson to her fourth starting season in the lineup, third at first base. The team's starting shortstop since Day 1, Godwin may alternate in the middle infield this year.
"Cooper and Kelly (Paterson) have been standouts for the past three years at the corners," praises Pepin. "I think that they're the rock and Godwin is the (vocal) leader."
Bondy will be the starting catcher for the second straight year after splitting duties as a freshman; Johnson has shared time in the outfield for two years but will be the opening-day leftfielder in 2013. Brett returns as the starting centerfielder after an all-conference freshman season in 2011 at shortstop at Endicott College (she was an All-State second baseman in high school).
Pepin points out that "Bondy has really matured behind the plate and understands what is expected. She has become more confident and more vocal."
A part-time leftfielder as a freshman, Martin will open the season in right field, while junior Jen Tamindzija (Malden, MA) will return to a regular spot in the infield after she recovers from a pre-season back injury.
At least three freshmen should have an immediate impact: catcher/DP/outfielder Alicia White (Colchester) and infielders Alyssa Hancock (Waterford) and Alyssa Dumphy (Southington). Either Rossetti or White will open at DP and will bat in the middle of the lineup, with Hancock expected to start in the middle infield. Dumphy will back up Cooper at third, while White may also see action in right.
Although inexperienced, the catcher spot is potentially deep behind Bondy, with sophomore Sarah Arburr (Bristol) and freshmen Taylor Smyth (Meriden) and White in the wings.
Veteran Katie Sokoloski (Eastford), the team's fourth senior, will provide leadership and maturity and will see action in the outfield.
Cooper, who obliterated the program's previous record with a 33-game hit streak last year, will open the season back in the leadoff spot, with Hancock batting second, Brett third and either Rossetti or the left-hitting White fourth. Batting lefty as well, Martin is fifth, Godwin sixth, Paterson seventh, Bondy eighth and the left-swinging Johnson ninth.
"I really think that our offense is potent," says Pepin. "We have no weak links from top to bottom. In past years, maybe 7-8-9 were kind of OK, but now you can't discount anybody."
Eastern plays ten games in six days in Florida before returning home for four consecutive home dates over the next eight days, opening the home and conference season March 30 against the University of Massachusetts Boston.

Public wary of high-speed rail, water bond, poll says
SACRAMENTO Californians have mounting reservations over the price tags for the state's ambitious high-speed rail line and a bond measure to pay for sweeping improvements for the state's already-strained water supply network, according to a new poll.
However, the nonprofit Public Policy Institute of California survey found that a majority of likely voters would support both big-ticket items if they cost less.
Currently, the projected price of the rail system is $68 billion and the proposed water bond is $11.1 billion.
"Their concern about cost is coming from their nervousness about the state economy and the federal budget," said PPIC President Mark Baldassare. "These are the times we live in."
"Californians are beginning to see improvements, but they are really not sure how long it will last and what type of long-term investment they are comfortable with."
The PPIC survey also gauged the view of Californians on a number of other high-profile issues, such as taxes, gun control, environmental regulations and immigration.
The survey of 1,703 Californians, including 1,445 registered voters and 1,138 likely voters, was conducted March 5-12. Among the adults questioned, 45 percent were Democrats, 29 percent Republicans and 22 percent independents. The ethnic breakdown includes: 44 percent white, 35 percent Latino, 13 percent Asian and 6 percent Black.
The poll had a margin of error of between 3.8 percent and 4.5 percent depending on the subgroup answering.
Here is a look at some of the key findings:
The state is inching forward even as criticism grows over costs, route and need for the rail line that, in decades to come, would connect Southern California, San Francisco, and the Central Valley.
Voters in 2008 approved a $10 billion bond to partially pay for the project, which also includes improvements to local commuter services in San Diego and Los Angeles. The Legislature last summer narrowly approved allocating $7.9 billion of the bond money to lay the first 130 miles of track in the Central Valley and make local transit upgrades.
The current price tag is estimated at $68 billion over the next 20 years, but opponents contend it will be much more.
Those costs are giving likely voters pause — 54 percent say they would vote no if given a second chance and 43 percent said they support it. The project drew majority support in the San Francisco Bay Area and Los Angeles, but opposition was overwhelming in the rest of the state.
Support grew to 55 percent if the cost was lower, but the question did not specify a price.
Despite their misgivings, 59 percent of likely voters say a high-speed rail system is "very important" or "somewhat important" for California's future.
The state Legislature in 2009 agreed to ask voters to approve an $11.1 billion bond measure that would pay for new storage, environmental restoration and conservation projects. Fears of defeat amid the economic downturn led lawmakers to pull it off the ballot. It is currently scheduled to go before voters in November 2014.

Is there anything better than a quick pint in your favourite pub? Snuggled in the corner as the roaring fire warms your toes and you sip slowly on your favourite tipple.
To top that, a cosy country pub must be the ideal place to while away an hour or two as the nights draw in. Unfortunately, with the influx of chain bars and gastro pubs you'd be forgiven for thinking that these types of establishments are a dying breed.
For those of us living in big cities, the comfortable and cosy local seems to rapidly be becoming a think of the past, but, by looking further afield you can still find a country pub with friendly locals, good ale and locally sourced food. So why not check out our hotels in Norfolk or the Lake District, dig out those walking boots and explore four of the best country pubs this fair isle has to offer?
The Neptune, Hunstanton, Norfolk
If you're looking for a country pub with a bit of class then The Neptune is certainly for you. It's a foodies' paradise with dishes such as lobster salad and veal but don't worry, it's also completely unpretentious (despite the Michelin star they boast.)
It is a little pricey but definitely perfect for big occasions, so why not check out our hotels in Norfolk and make a weekend of it down on the coast?
The Wheatsheaf Inn, Northleach, Gloucestershire
The very definition of cosy, The Wheatsheaf offers changing cask ales, over 400 different wines and plenty of pub grub classics. Think sausage and mash and hotpots all created with local ingredients, plus a warm, friendly atmosphere.
Why not stay in one of our Cheltenham hotels and enjoy the Wheatsheaf plus this beautiful nearby Spa town on a relaxing break in the Cotswolds?
The Brace of Pheasants, Dorchester, Dorset
Thatched roof? Check. Beamed bar? Check. Cask ale? Check. Need we go on? The Brace of Pheasants is a fantastic country pub with everything you'd expect from a friendly local boozer.
Tasty food in generous sized portions, a fine wine list and welcoming locals mean you'd be mad not to stay in one of our hotels in Dorset and check this pub out for yourself!
The Inn at Whitewell, Clitheroe, Lancashire
If you're looking for stunning views then look no further than the Inn at Whitewell. Sitting on the river Hodder, this former deerkeepers' lodge offers stunning vistas of Lancashire.
Couple that with great food and the likes of mulled wine to warm you while you're taking in the scenery and this is one pub you'll want to return to time and time again.
If you fancy making a weekend of it, we have a number of hotels in Lancashire that are perfect for resting your weary legs after a long country walk.
So there you have it, you don't have to lament the extinction of the great British pub or be satisfied with a warm pint of lager in a generic chain pub. These four are just the tip of the iceberg. Every village, town and hamlet has at least one pub for you to enjoy – so why not get exploring?

As they say, home is where you can relax, be comfortable and be with the people you love, your family. However, you also can't deny the fact that there would be instances that you're not safe even in your own home. Given that, it is even more important that you find ways on how you can keep your family safe and protected at home.
When it comes to home safety, you need to consider a lot of things. There are many factors that can contribute in compromising you and your family's safety at home. Accidents may happen without notice. Thus, it is important that you keep yourself ready whenever troubles come.
Be Ready
In any given situation, being ready is vital. Being ready at home would mean knowing how to react and what do during critical situations. You also need to keep yourself equipped with the right tools and devices so you can act fast when things got worse. For instance, having the best tactical tomahawk nearby would make a big difference. You can be at peace that you have something to pull out during emergencies.
Oftentimes, the cause of bigger misfortunes is the lack of preparedness. Many people are getting complacent with their way of life, not getting ready for the worse to come. The fact is, only those who made the right preparation survive. So be ready at all times. If it would take for you to sit down and take down of the things that you can do to keep your safety at home at all times, then do it. And do it now!
Home Safety Risks
When it comes to your safety at home, there are many risks that lurk around that you need to be aware of. Fire, falls and even other natural calamities are some of them. Most especially if you have kids at home; the risks are even higher. You need to keep an eye 24/7 for to be sure that things are in good shape and away from misfortune.
Some of the most crucial places which accidents often occur when you have kids are the pool area, the kitchen where many electrical appliances are located, stairs and other slippery places. Make sure you find ways to minimize mishaps on those prone accident areas of the house. For doors, make sure that you put proper safety devices such as alarms and other monitoring systems.
Keeping your Home Safe
If you aren't concerned about this yet, then you still need to understand this. Keeping your home safe at all times is your number one responsibility. Since your home is a sanctuary for your family, there's no room to compromise it. Whether you're protecting it against natural disasters, fire or even for housebreakers, it is important that you know how to react when such things happen.
You can either have reliable tactical devices and other protective tools around, ready to be picked up any time. Remember that you can't compromise your family's safety in any way. Start finding ways how you can do it in the best way possible and make your home a better place to live!

Chairman Bao Food Truck Review, San Francisco
Posted by Foodnut.com
Reviewer: Foodnut.com
Chairman Bao
1200 7th Street
San Francisco, CA 94107
Chairman Bao is a San Francisco food truck that serves Chinese steamed and baked buns with a variety of fillings. Their truck can be found all over the San Francisco area (SF, Emeryville, Brisbane) with locations broadcast over Twitter. We tried their buns at Oakland's Eat Real Festival. Chairman Bao is backed by corporate food truck company Mobi Munch. Incidentally, The Chairman is the name of a well respected Hong Kong restaurant.
Decor, Vibe – Chairman Bao is a pretty professional looking food truck with a computer system that even takes Visa/Mastercard credit cards. There was a huge line that formed even before Chairman Bao opened.
Chairman Bao Menu
Chairman Bao's menu varies but usually has steamed or baked buns filled with pork, chicken, pork belly, duck, or tofu. Shaved ice is sometimes served.
Signature Dishes – Tender Pork Belly Bun
Chairman Bao Food Picks:
Tender Pork Belly with Pickled Daikon on Steamed Bun ($3.50) had a delectably fat piece of pork sandwiched between a fresh steamed bun with some daikons tossed in. Excellent flavor and texture without being grossed out with fat.
Red Sesame Chicken with Scallion and Bok Choy on Steamed Bun ($3.50) appears to be spicy beyond belief but way more on the mild side. Messy as heck, this beast was filled with a lot more vegetables than chicken. Overall a decent bun.
Crispy Garlic Tofu with Miso Greens on Steamed Bun ($3.50) will surely satisfy vegetarians. The dressing looks splashed all over the greens, but is not overwhelming. Quality tofu fills the tender bun.
Service – Chairman Bao served up buns pretty quickly once we ordered. The line wait depends on the venue.
Value – Prices are cheap but you need to eat at least 3 to fill up.
Verdict – Most Chinese food purists will probably gag when they see the Chairman Bao logo and buns. How can folk that have eaten extensively in China, including at Lung King Heen like this stuff. We had read about them and came expecting dismal food but were surprised. Chairman Bao is a unique Asian fusion food truck that serves up some surprisingly good buns. Another local food blogger even agrees with the assessment.
Their chef recently took off to start the American food oriented Curbside food truck.

The environmental narratives of second- third-generation Muslim-Balkan immigrants, who began arriving in the early 20th Century, and Kurdish migrants, who arrived in Lüleburgaz in the post-1990 era, express conflict geographies of pollution across communities and between the communities and the state. Heavy pollution in the Ergene River, where the river is declared "dead," is not a mere accident but rather a facet of neoliberal environmental governance. A politics of non-governance Conflicting narratives of Muslim-Balkan immigrants and Kurdish migrants uncover multiple layered conflict geographies of water pollution in Thrace region by grappling with the question of how "the nation" is continously reterritorialized within neoliberalized constructions of environment and river politics at the community and policy realms. Ethnic-class segregation leads to different community demands with regard to river pollution and environmental degradation in neighbourhoods characterized by different materialities of housing and occupation, a particular facet of non-governance that creates landscapes of invisibility. This analysis contributes to theories on "actually existing neoliberalism" and the ways through which the nation and its various territorial practices at different epochs of neoliberalization processes not only create consent for neoliberalization practices, but also give way for historical and racialized ethnic conflicts to survive. Description: Thesis (Ph.D, Geography) -- Queen's University, 2015-06-02 22:48:40.429 2015-06-03T04:00:00Z What is wrong with this picture?: Indigenous artists contest the "place" of Indigenous people in Canada Loh, Paula http://hdl.handle.net/1974/13098 2015-06-01T12:53:29Z 2015-06-01T04:00:00Z Title: What is wrong with this picture?: Indigenous artists contest the "place" of Indigenous people in Canada Authors: Loh, Paula Abstract: Indigenous artists challenge cultural stereotypes by creating images that contest preconceived notions of the "place" of Indigenous people held by the Canadian population at large. This thesis research explores the question of identity and stereotypes and how this is transgressed through the work of contemporary Indigenous artists in Canada to adjust the position of Indigenous people in the social hierarchy that controls their "place." Many Indigenous artists incorporate political statements into their artworks that challenge the ongoing stereotypes that assign Indigenous people to their "place"; the political commentary is often the only aspect of their work that identifies it as "Indigenous," with a variety of techniques, media, and styles used in the creation of the art, reflecting the individuality of the artists. The normativity of whiteness and its impact on ideology and politics is examined, both in historical and contemporary times. Hegemonic images have promoted the Eurocentric concept that the White "race" is the norm and the standard by which others should be judged and put in their "place," contributing to the objectification of Indigenous peoples and the creation of the stereotypical "Indian," such as the "noble savage," and the "ignoble savage." Images created by contemporary Indigenous artists transgress these cultural stereotypes. The re-labeling and marketing of Indigenous "artifacts" as "art" reflects changing attitudes in the value placed on the work of Indigenous artists, transforming many from anonymous artisans into renowned artists. This recognition as creators of art provides opportunities for Indigenous artists to make public statements, with their work being widely displayed under the classification of contemporary art. The Sakahàn International Indigenous Art Exhibition held by the National Gallery of Canada in 2013 embodies the momentum that is building within the Indigenous artistic community; Sakahàn is the largest exhibition of any kind mounted by the National Gallery, to date, and is also the largest worldwide exhibition of Indigenous art. Identity is constantly changing in relation to events and circumstances; as the place of Indigenous people continues to be contested by artists, it will edge further on the continuum towards being "in place" instead of "out of place." Description: Thesis (Master, Geography) -- Queen's University, 2015-05-28 11:59:53.88 2015-06-01T04:00:00Z Accessing English Language Education in Urban Immigrant Gateways: The Case of Ottawa Prabhu, Alyson http://hdl.handle.net/1974/13046 2015-05-02T05:20:42Z 2015-05-01T04:00:00Z Title: Accessing English Language Education in Urban Immigrant Gateways: The Case of Ottawa Authors: Prabhu, Alyson Abstract: Immigration to Canadian cities is a growing phenomenon. While much previous international migration research has focused on states and borders, cities are receiving increasing attention as a scale at which the lived experiences of international migrants can be better understood. Three Canadian cities – Montreal, Toronto, and Vancouver – serve as Canada's top destinations and receive a disproportionate number of Canada's newcomers. In recent decades, flows of newcomers have diverted to other cities such as Ottawa, which is now home to the fifth largest concentration of foreign-born individuals in Canadian cities. Cities like Ottawa wherein increasing immigration rates are a relatively recent phenomenon can lack settlement services such as language training in comparison to more established gateway cities. With an increasing number of newcomers from countries where English is not an official language, there is growing concern over newcomers' abilities to integrate both economically and socially. This research uses a mixed methods approach to combine census data, fourteen semi-structured interviews, and GIS analyses to provide a quantitative needs assessment without neglecting the qualitative aspects of service accessibility. English programs in Ottawa range from federally funded language classes to community-run conversation groups. Changing settlement patterns and growing numbers of newcomers in Ottawa raise the question whether these programs are accessible to the very groups they are intended to reach. This research assesses how English language instruction is provided for and accessed by the foreign-born population in Ottawa. Moreover, it asserts the importance of the language classroom as a space in which international migrants negotiate their identities and find their place within mainstream Canadian society. This thesis concludes by making recommendations for future action, discussing the limitations of this study, and exploring areas of future research.

The goal of this research was to explore how these data sources and statistical techniques could be utilized for predicting successional stages and species composition within a complex temperate forest ecosystem in Ontario. This research also explored the possibility of generating tree lists from these same data sources that would forecast equivalent future forest conditions compared to in situ collected FRI data. For the characterization of vertical structure within forest stands a new LiDAR metric was developed, i.e., the Vertical Complexity Index (VCI). Logistic regressions were then applied to predict successional stages while boosted regression trees were adopted for the quantification of relative abundance of upper canopy species using LiDAR and high spatial resolution data. k-Nearest Neighbor imputation was used for generating individual juvenile tree information from LiDAR whereas adult tree information was generated from: i) an individual tree crown (ITC) classification; and ii) from predicted stem density and species' relative abundance. Successional stages were well predicted using LiDAR variables (i.e., VCI, Lorey's height and standard deviation of height) with a classification accuracy (Khat) of 86%. Average prediction accuracy was 0.71 when LiDAR variables related to biotic and disturbance processes were included. Correlations between in situ and imputed juvenile tree information were moderate, ranging from 0.50 to 0.69. Stem density model fit (adj. R2) was 0.51 for conifer and 0.74 for hardwood stands. As for generating adult tree lists, ITC significantly underestimated stem density while both approaches underestimated species composition. This research clearly demonstrated that LIDAR variables that capture structural forest attributes can successfully be used to characterize structurally distinct successional stages and upper canopy species' abundances in landscapes with limited topographical variation. Juvenile trees were more difficult to characterize with LiDAR variables as was the ability to generate tree lists. However, this research provides insights how to advance the characterization of juvenile trees and develop tree lists from LiDAR and high spatial resolution data.

Pro HDR for iPhone and iPod Touch
Why have HDR on an iPhone? Because you can! Sometimes an iPhone is the only camera I have on me, and I want the ability to go a little deeper. I see HDR as a great tool that can help get the shot in tough conditions. Sure, the iPhone has a built-in HDR ability that works well, but its just not tweakable. What's really nice is the ability to actual take control and develop an image so you can handle tough situations like backlight or lowlight.
Enter Pro HDR from EyeApps LLC. At $1.99 in the App Store, it's a steal. The app is very full-featured and gives the discerning photographer more control when on the go.
Here's how it works.
1. Launch the Application. Tap the Auto HDR button. You can go into manual mode if you want to pick your shadows and highlights.
2. Compose the shot then tap the screen. The app then analyzes the scene and find the lightest and darkest point.
3. Tap the Screen Again and hold still.
4. The app aligns the images and presents you with an option to tone the images.
5. Adjust the sliders to taste. You can also tap the thumbnail to view the image full-screen.
6. Click Save to store a full resolution image.
Be sure to visit the Settings button on the launch screen where you can choose to save high-quality or optimized images, as well as the original shots.
Here's another example of shooting in real low-light (yes, its an ugly shot… but it shows the capacity nicely).
Here's one more taken just after sunrise and a long redeye from San Francisco to Washington, D.C.
You can find out more about the application here or pick it up at the App Store.

The JoomFish team is happy to announce the immidate availability of the the version 2.5.1 and some cute new features.
We like to ask our community to continue reporting issues within github as this helps us to improve the current version further more. The update includes bugfixes within the language manager and the splash screen stays away if you tell him to do so. Within the new version you also get a nice plugin that allows you to link existing articles with each other and indicate existing translations this way.
We are still searching for ways to improve our support service. At the moment we are actively searching for new contributors that help to answer questions related the new versions. If you are interested sent a PM to one of our moderators. The contribution license will allow you to access all membership areas and give you even more access to our developers if needed.
The translation teams started to translate the new 2.5 series using transiflex. The first plackages are completed and with the relase of 2.5.1 we will push the latest changes there. As soon as the most important packages are available we will update our download sections and provide the additional files for you.
More club addons will be migrated to Joomla 2.5 within the next weeks and we will continue to update our download area regular. Based on the current feedback we will update especially the management and translation extensions.
Last but not least the migration is starting to make progress. Various teams from the specialized extensions got in touch with us recently and we are currently working with them to integrate the JoomFish requirements to migrate your existing tables automatically into the new content and menu structure for having a native support of these extensions within Joomla 2.5 and JoomFish 2.5.
Having a multilingual website is one part of the game. Of course you like to have a perfect template for it as well. Sometimes combining a template with the additional requirements of multilingual sites isn't that easy.
Based on the own experience I'm wondering if there are template designers out there that do not only implement cool new features, frameworks or responsive HTML5 but also keep in mind the basic m12l requirements. I'm thinking about
Let us know if you work on such templates and especially if you would may be interested to provide the JoomFish club one of these templates once every 3 month. We would love to enrich the service for our club members with such a template.
We are proud to start our year of the 10th anniversary of JoomFish (formally known as MambelFish) with the stable release of the new JoomFish 2.5 core component. As of the 1st of January 2013 the package is available for our club members as download.
The new core component offers various enhancements that are contributing to the new techniques and opportunities given by the Joomla 2.5 core system. The most remarkable one is the fact that starting with this release JoomFish stores articles and menu items directly within the core database tables. With JoomFish you add some additional functionallity to track the changes and manage your translations as it was done before. Now this is the first step to get a fully featured translation management system on top of the your open source CMS of choice.
With the new feature we integated a new extension interface that will allow 3rd party developers to more easily interact with JoomFish. All extensions especially enhanced for JoomFish will be able to enricht their features with multilingual features and translation management without implementing it themselves.
As usual for our project you have two options. The first one is the supported club membership that will grant you access to the latest package downloads. These downloads are updated after major version upgrades in the code and you have a dedicated support forum for your questions and the team support. Check out our download page for more information or use the direct link to the club membership area. As free alternative you can download JoomFish from our github repository. This version is unsupported and might change as development continues.
We are currently designing a nice way to migrate the information from existing Joomla 1.5 & JoomFish 2.2 version. This being said the most important task will be the update to the latest versions of these. There are some ideas about some more additional extensions and tools in our minds. But first we like to discuss with you what should be done next.
After a successful Beta testing period of Joom!Fish 2.5 the project team is preparing the final stable release of the long awaited new JoomFish 2.5 extension. The update is primarily focused on the Joomla 2.5 core and will create a lot of opportunities for multilingual websites based on the current platform.
As the feature sets and requirements for the two platforms Joomla 1.5 and 2.5 are quite different and we still see a lot of needs for current Joomla 1.5 sites we also decided to restructure our support services differently in future. The goal is to provide the required services on a fair price for the different needs. This is why we will drop our current bronze (1 month memberships) by end of November 2012. The silver membership will get a freshup of the price and allow you to focus on your Joomla 1.5 needs. All existing pro extensions will be available for an affortable price in one single package. The gold club will change into the Joom!Fish future club that allows you to access all 2.5 and upcoming 3.0 features and packages directly on our site.
As we see more and more multilingual features being integrated into the Joomla Core the JoomFish extension will also change its focus in future. We like to express that the core integration of multilingual features is a great opportunity for the Joomla CMS and we are very happy to see this being accepted by the PLT finally. What focus the JoomFish project will have in future is not clear yet - your suggestions are very welcome. It is clear that will continoue the support for the Joomla system even though the kind of support might change.
Stay tuned for the upcoming news and releases.
Today the JoomFish team is proud to announce the public availibility of the new version 2.2.3. Actually the 2.2 versions are not totally new to all our club members, but it is the first public release available. You can just download it from our page and enjoy an easy way to get a multilingual site assembled with Joomla. Details about the changes and how to install the new version can be found in our project roadmap.
If you have use JoomFish before you need to backup and uninstall your old (2.0 or 2.1) version before! This is related to several changes we did on the file structure of the extension to make it more compatible with the structures of Joomla 2.5 and future versions. During the uninstall process your database tables and translations are not deleted and will be available after installing the new version. To install the new version please use the Joomla extension manager. It shall show you a screen with all components, modules and plugins installed if successful. If you have any further questions, please feel free to post in our forum or visit our documentation pages.
We like to take the opportunity and thank all our users that continue to give us feedback and detailed information to improve JoomFish to what it is. We will continue as well to make JoomFish better every release. Of course this includes also current and future Joomla releases as well ;-).
Note: JoomFish 2.2.3 is not compatible with Joomla 1.6, 1.7 or 2.5! This release is meant for all our Joomla 1.5 customers to ease the process of migration in the next steps. The version 2.2 changes the language management to the behavior from Joomla 2.5 already and the table structure is aligned. A new version JoomFish 2.5 for the Joomla 2.5 series is in preparation and will be released as a first beta version to our club members shortly.
Many people asked about the JoomFish project recently. It looked like the project is not existing anymore. It looked like we are not supporting Joomla the way we did. Yes it looked like this, but actually it is all wrong.
The Joomla project made a tremendouse shift in its release and development strategy lately. With focusing on two different products (Plattform and CMS) and with time based releases the project now builds a plannable and predictable skeleton for professional 3rd party teams to build on their work on it. In the past each single release of Joomla was a major milestone and your update was not fast enough you have been lost in space. In the last year we saw two updates of the same kind and many, many people thought that they build their new website on a new stable version. My personal opinion is that both releases 1.6 and 1.7 had been pretty stable and perfectly for developers to test, learn and develop their extensions against them - however I have never recommended any of these versions to a client as a stable, long term reliable and not changing version. And this was excatly what the Joomla team said too. They have been very predictable in their work and now 2.5 is about to be released and with this we get a new long term, stable release for Joomla CMS including a stable plattform 11.4 - great!
Did we as JoomFish team waited all way long? No. We tested, we contributed to the core to help to overcome some issues we encountered and we prepared our next version for this new plattform and CMS. As stated all day long we have not released anything for 1.6 or 1.7 as this was pure development testing and not meant for any production usage. We shared our new github repository that allows very simple usage of the jf-future package and also worked on the new 2.2 release, the last one for Joomla 1.5 series.
To sum up, the JoomFish project is not dead, it still supports Joomla and even stronger now and of course we will release a version for Joomla 2.5!
First we will release JoomFish 2.2 with some additional enhancements for the general public. This build will be our transfer build to the new Joomla CMS 2.5 code based. This release is planned for this week.
Second we will release a Beta build of JoomFish 2.5 to our club members. This beta build is tested against Joomla CMS 2.5 B2 and should work in general. From eairly adopters we know already some bugs and will fix them on our way to the stable release. I personally assume that we will provide a stable version of the core features within a few weeks.
Last but not least we will provide updates to all our own add-ons and some new addtional features for easy migration and management of your translations. And of course to an update on our own website - as usual this comes last as it is not as important as your code.
Many people asking us quite often how to structure, prepare and build their multilingual websites. In fact often people start without thinking about a multilingual website and then they end up adding more and more translations to it. Based on this experience I created a slide deck that was presented first on the Joomla!Day in Athens 2011. The first part of the slides discuss the primary discussions you need to do while thinking about the idea that your site can become multilingual. Starting from the decisions related automated or manual translations until the facts of the cultural influence your new audience will bring. The second part of the presentation shows some best practices and possibilities how you can simplify the integration process for yourself as well as for your customers.
As I like to make this a little series about how multilingual websites can be build and what is important for them I'm very much interested in your feedback and experience. Please share your feedback to the presentation with me in our JoomFish forum or comment it on slideshare.
During J and Beyond 2011 the whole JoomFish team (developers, moderators and 3rd parties) meet and it was a great opportunity for us to talk about strategy, next releases and what else we need to have a look on. Before I'm going to update all our road-map documents let me summarize some of the outcome here in a brief blog post.
First of all let's talk about our support and communication towards the community. Our forum is the primary interactive channel we use and this will stay as it is. We will announce new releases and other project related information primarily in the forum and use twitter and other social media just for additional comments. If you have questions please raise them in the forum and not in comments, tweets or somewhere else. We are not regularly following these platforms.
To easy the usage of the forum we are going to restructure the sub-forums and will create a forum for each major release. So you will be able to find a 2.1 release sub-forum in the public area as well as a 2.2 release sub-forum within the club area. As soon as 2.2 is becoming the next public available forum we will move this sub-forum to the public community area. Feel free to answer all your questions related the core extension within these forums. To ease support make sure you post according to the version you use.
For all our add-ons we will create sub-forums as well. You will find a forum for JoomFish Plus Frontend Editing UI as well as the other add-ons soon within the club forum folder. The new forum groups will help to simplify the support and allow for a more detailed help in these cases.
According to the currently published development strategy of Joomla the version 1.6 and later again the version 1.9 will be those with long term support. Some other sources speak about 1.8 being the next with long term support as 1.5 has this kind of support already.
Our current vision is that 1.5 is the most reliable and stable version of Joomla and it is still maintained and down-loadable. Based on that we will support this version of Joomla at least until end of 2011 and plan to release version 2.5 as the last and final release for this code base. The result is that we will have 3 more feature releases of Joom!Fish with the version numbers 2.3, 2.4 and 2.5. The features are based on your feedback in our feedback system and include e.g. tabbed translation editing as well an optimization for the usage of 3rd party CCK's and other bigger extensions.
As 1.6 becomes the new origin of the new Joomla framework and CMS code base we will continue to finish this development and release it under the version number 2.6 as a migration scenario. The version 2.6 will be based on the JoomFish 2.2 code base and only enables it to be compatible with the Joomla 1.6 core. There will be no innovative features and technologies being implemented. With the versions 2.7, 2.8 and 2.9 we will provide versions that are compatible to the respective releases of those versions for the Joomla 1.5 code base.
The JoomFish version 3.0 becomes a brand new release with an innovative new way of editing translations and much more features. Some first ideas are discussed but you should not expect this version before 2012. Most of the important other features will be integrated earlier in the 2.x releases.
We had a great experience with J and Beyond and we will continue to support events in the future. Next is the Joomla!Day in Greece and in autumn we will support the Joomla!Day in Hamburg Germany and the Joomla!Day in New York City. If you like to learn more about Joom!Fish, talk about the concepts or more one of these events is the best opportunity to meet with us.
I have been making significant progress on the implementation of Joomfish in Joomla 1.6.
The code is based on Joomfish 2.2 and will be called Joomfish 2.3. The main outstanding issues are:
We hope to have a club preview version available for testing by club members.
With the 2.1.7 release of JoomFish we are happy to fix several bugs and reports we got lately. The release continuos in a row of further improvements of the JoomFish core extension. You can just download it from our page and enjoy an easy way to get a multilingual site assembled with Joomla.
If you have use JoomFish before you can just use the Joomla extension manager to update to this latest version and with this upgrade your files. The database will not be changed and therefore the translations will be available directly afterwards. Of course we recommend to do a backup of your website before doing any change to the system.
Note: JoomFish 2.1.7 is not compatible with Joomla 1.6! But I can say that we are heavily working on a new version and I'm pretty sure we can expect some showcases during the upcoming events ;-). So make sure you are registered to J and Beyond 2011 and do not miss anything.

Rockford Man Sentenced to 10 Years in Federal Prison on Gun Charge
ROCKFORD — A Rockford, Ill. man was sentenced yesterday in federal court before U.S. District Judge Frederick J. Kapala to 10 years in prison without parole, to be followed by 3 years of supervised release, for illegally possessing a firearm as a convicted felon. NICHOLAS STENSON, 29, was convicted on October 3, 2012, after a jury trial in Rockford.
According to the indictment and evidence at trial, on July 10, 2011, shortly after 2:00 am, members of the Rockford Police Department's M3 Unit observed Stenson on Rock Street standing next to a green Pontiac. When officers parked their squad car near the Pontiac and activated the emergency lights, Stenson ran to the back of the Pontiac, reached into his waistband and threw a gun underneath the Pontiac. Officers recovered the gun thrown by Stenson - a black Colt .45 handgun loaded with six rounds of Blazer .45 caliber ammunition.
Stenson was originally charged in state court and was transferred to federal court where he was charged under tough federal firearms laws as part of the Project Safe Neighborhoods program. Project Safe Neighborhoods is an intensive, cooperative effort between local, state, and federal law enforcement to attack gun crimes. The cornerstone of the program is that every defendant committing an offense involving a gun will be reviewed for possible federal prosecution in order to obtain the harshest penalties for the worst offenders. Additional information about Project Safe Neighborhoods may be found at www.psn.gov.
The sentencing was announced by Gary S. Shapiro, Acting United States Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois; W. Larry Ford, Special Agent-in-Charge of the Chicago Field Division of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms & Explosives; Joseph Bruscato, Winnebago County State's Attorney; and Chet Epperson, Chief of the Rockford Police Department.
The government was represented by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Scott R. Paccagnini and Monica V. Mallory.

Iran nuclear deal reached
Iran has never said whether the chamber existed, but describes Parchin as a conventional military site. Iran, however, has blocked IAEA requests for access to sites, scientists and documents needed for its investigation for more than four years.
Amano's talks included Jalili as well as Iran's foreign minister and other officials including the head of Iran's nuclear agency, Fereidoun Abbasi.
Iranian lawmaker Heshmatollah Falahtpisheh told The Associated Press on Monday that Tehran will likely accept more inspections of Parchin "if it feels there is good will within the (IAEA)."
But Falahtpisheh warned that this new openness will likely come with expectations that the West would in return ease international sanctions on Iran.
"In opening up to more inspections, Iran aims at lowering the crisis over its nuclear case," he said. "But if the sanctions continue, Iran would stop this."
A political analyst in Tehran, Hamid Reza Shokouhi, said Iran is carefully watching to see if the West shows more "flexibility and pays attention to Iranian demands" during Amano's trip.
"Then Iran will show flexibility, too," Shokouhi said.
But some Iranian media was critical of Amano and the IAEA, possibly reflecting internal divisions on how far to go compromise on nuclear issues.
In a sign of ebbing market worries, oil prices have steadily fallen since Iran and world powers resumed talks in April in Istanbul. Fears of supply disruptions because of military conflict or Iranian shipping blockades helped drive prices above $106 a barrel earlier this year. Oil rose to slightly above $92 per barrel Monday in New York.

It's only around £5 on PSN and I even got a bit more off as the last days of the free PS plus are up. It's funny and maybe a bit nostalgic as feels like a PS2 game even. Easy game to play music to as well.
A game that's mainly about the gameplay is pretty refreshing, probably been playing to many story focused games..
But just another person advising others to get it, while it's still at a bargain price!

Photos under glass and the future of design and touch interaction
Former Apple engineer Bret Victor over at Worry Dream has an interesting article up about the future of touch technology. The main focus of the article is how we interact with with devices like the iPhone and iPad using our hands. His main point is that our hands are meant to interact with objects and feel things in a more "tactile" way that simply "photos under glass".
While companies like Apple have made great strides with devices like the iPhone and iPad, he believes that using our physical hands are the future. That's how we should interact. He argues that using your hands to touch and feel things is not the same experience as using devices such as the iPad where everything you are "touching" is under glass. And that the sooner we get away from this mindset and move forward, the better.
This technology is a long way off but given how far Apple has always brought us, I can't help but agree. We're at the very beginning of a really exciting future.

Photos under glass and the future of design and touch interaction
Good point. I watched that video a few days ago and thought it was a great glimpse of what things could be, but this article has a very interesting perspective. One I think only someone who had that type of job would really be able to see. One interesting thing I kept thinking while reading this insightful piece, was how the Kinect system that Xbox has, lets you do this in a way. Interesting how Microsoft Office and Microsoft Xbox hadn't formed a symbiotic relationship for this exact purpose. Really, if implemented correctly, Kinect could work for every purpose that a computer is used for: work, play, communication, etc.
I work at an architect firm, primarily using AutoCAD and myself and others have often discussed using technology from Minority Report to edit/view CAD drawings of buildings with ones hands. Utilizing Kinect-esque technology, and implementing it the right way, this is doable!
It'll be possible in the far future I'm sure. In fact, computer vision has made some significant breakthroughs recently due to advances in machine learning. However, there are still decades of research to be done before targetless tracking of 3d sparial position is accurate enough to simulate things like picking up objects. This doesn't even consider the fact that optics hasn't moved forward for a few decades. So overall, the feesability of something like minority report happening within the next couple of decades (Read: majority of professional life) is small. Connecting today's infrastructure and mindsets to a vision of the future in small steps is what Apple has learned (the hard way, bc it failed when ut tried to reach too far) and this lesson had made Steve Jobs and Apple successful.

"Love not sleep, lest thou come to poverty; open thine eyes, and thou shalt be satisfied with bread" (Proverbs 20:13).
Another morning was getting away from me. I knew I should have gotten up early when I heard the alarm clock, but the covers felt so good on this crisp, fall morning. Certainly God wouldn't mind if I prayed to Him while lying down under the blankets. As I began my prayers, I felt my body start to drift. Shaking off the sleep, I started once again, but the sleepiness came back. An entire hour later, I was still in bed. I was late to start homeschooling my children and knew I would be playing "catch up" for the rest of the day without God's strength or guidance.
Peter, James, and John lost the same battle of sleep when Jesus asked them to pray in the Garden of Gethsemane. Three times the Lord asked them to pray, and three times they fell asleep and heard His words, "What, could ye not watch with me one hour? Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak" (Matthew 26:40b-41). Falling asleep when Jesus needed them the most, the disciples certainly failed.
Do you have good intentions to have a quiet time with the Lord each morning? Good intentions are not enough! Satan loves to tempt us to listen to the desires of our flesh and miss our devotions. Without the Holy Spirit's empowering, we, too, will fail in our attempts to walk with the Lord, as well as in our efforts to homeschool. Don't be like the disciples or the foolish virgins in Matthew 25:1-13 who fell asleep waiting for the bridegroom. Stay alert and offer the prayers and worship to the Lord that are due to Him. "Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep: So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth; and thy want as an armed man" (Proverbs 24:33-34).
Jesus, forgive me for being lazy in my efforts to come to You each day. I recognize the importance of Your sweet fellowship and recommit my life to You today. In Your name, Amen.
"Love not sleep, lest thou come to poverty; open thine eyes, and thou shalt be satisfied with bread" (Proverbs 20:13).

Horror, SciFi/Fantasy
This remake of the 1956 horror classic Invasion of the Body Snatchers moves the action from small-town USA to 1970s San Francisco and replaces at least part of the original's psychological horror with special effects. Spores rain forth, unseen, from outer space, and soon strange flowers begin popping up all over the city. After bringing one of these hybrid specimens home with her one night, biologist Elizabeth Driscoll (Brooke Adams) notices that her live-in boyfriend, Geoffrey (Art Hindle), doesn't seem like himself; he's cold and distant and somehow just not quite there. When she turns to her friend Matthew Bennell (Donald Sutherland), a colleague at the Department of Public Health, he convinces her to see his friend Dr. Kibner (Leonard Nimoy), a pop psychologist who argues that the problem is all in Elizabeth's head. Soon, though, Matthew and Elizabeth begin to notice that people all over the city are changing subtly and inexplicably. When their friend Jack Bellicec (Jeff Goldblum) and his wife Nancy (Veronica Cartwright) find a lifeless, half-formed doppelganger covered with plant fibers in the mud baths they own and operate, the group of friends finally begins to understand that a sinister transformation is sweeping their city. Kevin McCarthy and Don Siegel, respectively the star and director of the original film, have small roles in the new version, as does an unbilled Robert Duvall.~ Brian J. Dillard, All Movie Guide

Although code deployment might not be as easy with Engine Yard as with Heroku, the Engine Yard platform is dramatically more tunable. In fact, in many ways, Engine Yard is closer to an infrastructure as a service (IaaS) than a platform as a service (PaaS). Engine Yard provides a base infrastructure tuned to run Ruby applications, but the rest is up to you. Engine Yard does offer Git integration; however, deployment is not executed via a push, as in Heroku, but rather via Engine Yard's suite of tools and its extensive dashboard, which can sync with a Git repository.
With Engine Yard, you're given fine-grained access to a scalable cloud infrastructure living on top of Amazon's EC2. For instance, you can deploy an application to a target Amazon global availability zone, and you can schedule backups of an application's data store -- neither of which you can achieve with Heroku. You have full access to the underlying hardware via SSH and root access. With this level of control, you have freedom to tweak various aspects of a Ruby application stack that is not available in Heroku's sandboxlike environment.
By default, an Engine Yard application has a larger capacity to scale when compared to Heroku; an application deployed to Engine Yard lives on a managed EC2 image with a larger memory and storage footprint, while a deployment to Heroku is provisioned to a smaller abstract slice of computing capacity within a managed EC2 cluster. Further, with Engine Yard, you have total control over how much memory or disk space your application has available to it -- details that are hidden in Heroku.
Engine Yard: Under the hood
Getting started with Engine Yard is slightly different than with Heroku. With Engine Yard, there is no free model; instead, there is a trial, limited to 500 hours. As with Heroku, there is a default configuration for a trial account. In Engine Yard's case, trial accounts are provisioned a medium compute instance, which maps to Amazon's High-CPU Medium instance. In essence, this means a trial account receives a dual-core, 32-bit virtual machine that has 1.7GB of memory and 350GB of storage. Data storage is colocated in Amazon EBS.
Engine Yard supports a wide variety of compute options and corresponding pricing other than the standard medium instance. Naturally, the higher the resource specifications (that is, memory and storage), the higher the hourly cost. For instance, on the low end, a small instance -- which is 32-bit, with 1.7GB of memory, 160GB of storage (which isn't backed by EBS), and essentially a single CPU core -- will cost 12 cents per hour. On the high end, a 64-bit instance with 68.4GB of memory, 1,690GB of nonpersistent storage, and 26 CPU cores will cost $2.74 per hour. These instances are Unix-based and specifically tuned to run Ruby applications; thus, the price per hour will be slightly more than if you took the same mapping of a raw AWS EC2 instance.
Engine Yard's documentation is excellent. From extensive tutorials to videos to podcasts, the Engine Yard platform is explained in detail at all levels. For instance, there are detailed sections on the overall platform architecture, troubleshooting, dealing with databases, and migrating to the platform, just to name a few. What's more, the Engine Yard team's extensive involvement in the community via projects such as JRuby has yielded a host of resources for all aspects of Ruby and Rails development -- webinars that educate developers, for instance, on Ruby dependency management via bundler and even beginning Rails development. In short, Engine Yard provides a path for development teams to grow into Ruby, as well as the Engine Yard platform.
Engine Yard supports Ruby and JRuby, offers a separate PHP platform, and recently announced support for Node.js. Indeed, the best-known lead developer of the JRuby project is an employee of Engine Yard. Because the Engine Yard platform provides a raw computing instance with SSH access and root privileges, you are free to install other applications, packages, and languages. Thus, while Engine Yard doesn't offer the breadth of language support as Heroku, you could certainly add Python applications to an Engine Yard managed instance, provided you wanted to maintain the infrastructure in that case. Nevertheless, the core competency of application support with Engine Yard is primarily limited to Ruby and JRuby. Note that Heroku does not support JRuby at this point.
Engine Yard: Extensive management
The strength of Engine Yard when it comes to infrastructure management lies in its extensive dashboard. Nevertheless, Engine Yard does offer a command-line utility for managing most aspects of application deployment. Via the Engine Yard command-line utility, you can deploy an application, disable an application (and re-enable after maintenance), view logs, and SSH to a running instance, for example.
Applications deployed to the Engine Yard platform can be easily monitored via tools provided by Engine Yard. Not only can Engine Yard's monitoring suite alert you if a Web application stops responding, but you can also view detailed traffic reports. Engine Yard can monitor almost everything a system administrator would want to keep an eye on, including I/O wait time, memory usage, and disk space. What's more, Engine Yard offers application monitoring via New Relic, which enables detailed analysis of code.
Applications running on Engine Yard have access to a MySQL database instance that is fully functional and available for all management tasks one could conceive with respect to running an RDBMS. You can access this instance from outside Engine Yard, and you can schedule backups and retrieve those backups on demand.

Before the start of this series, a lot was expected of Mohammed Shami. When India landed at Heathrow about a month back, Ishant Sharma was still seen as an unpredictable trier, Bhuvneshwar Kumar's lack of pace was a concern, while Pankaj Singh and Ishwar Pandey were rookies who would be handy at nets on this long tour.
Shami stood out for his freshness, fitness and by virtue of being the fastest. How you had looked forward to watch the 140 kph plus young Indian pacer on a green track that looks greener on a heavy English morning.
At the end of the first two Tests, where Shami happens to be the lowest wicket-taker and thus least bowled Indian pacer, it is too tempting to suggest that, maybe, the first-time tourist to England got carried away by the favourable conditions. While Sharma and Bhuvneshwar have bowled 85 and 78 overs, respectively, Shami's tally is 59.
In a series dominated by pacers — spinners have got just 11 off the 66 wickets to fall — Shami, with four wickets, happens to be seventh on the overall list that has Sharma (11) and Bhuvneshwar (10) at the top.
Shami made his debut on his home ground, the Eden Gardens, a venue not many fast bowlers call their favourite. He bowled fast and with his deadly in-swinging reverse, sent many stumps cart-wheeling. Earlier, making his ODI debut in the series against Pakistan, he had made the new ball float around in the air, and off-the-pitch too.
After that nine-wicket first Test, India started to believe what Pakistan great Wasim Akram had been saying repeatedly about this young, soft-spoken boy from Bengal, who he had mentored at KKR.
The cricket-crazy nation, that has for years craned their necks across the border to peep into their arch-rivals camp in order to appreciate genuine quicks, expected a lot from Shami. He was easy on the eyes, and the neck too. There was life beyond the ageing Zaheer Khan and erratic Sharma. Like they always did when a home pacer clocked 150 kph on a speedometer, India was excited.
In the subsequent Tests, after his debut against the West Indies last year, Shami would travel to South Africa and New Zealand, two nations that were famous for pace-friendly conditions.
Unfortunately, for the 25-year-old, the start of his overseas international career coincided with the mysterious phenomenon of pitches around the world going dead.The very un-English track at Nottingham would have broken his heart. But like always, Shami continued to bend his back.
Big movement
And then Lord's happened. On the first morning India got to bat on a damp green track. Watching from the dressing room Shami would have loved to see the sight of the ball flying around. And …continued »

1Gb memory in a 276C?

Ok, update to my previous post. This evening I got the joy of dealing with a new install of City Nav NA 2012. I purchased this 276 from a member here and sadly the CD he sent did not match the product key he sent, no joy from Garmin. So I had to purchase a new CD and key.
What should of been a fairly simple install, online hardware and key registration turned into a... almost all night circle jerk. Will leave it at that for the frustration of dealing with Garmin's tracking and registration system especially if you have several bits of hardware and software keys. In the end I was forced to delete all previous installs, 1998, 2011 and now this new 2012 install.
Finally got everything installed on the 276 and registered. I went ahead and installed the entire 2012 North America mapset from South America to Alaska including Canada. The entire insall took up about 1.25 gigabytes and is fully accessible from my 276. One trouble I see so far is this install nuked the card clean before installing so not too sure the ability to add topo or anything else at this point. I will try and play with it a bit more this weekend and see what I end up with. So, just having the ability to install all of NT NA on one card is pretty cool and would take at least three 512 meg Garmin cards to accomplish this same feat. I am pretty happy with the memory and what it cost, the quality of the PCB and the fact I really need nothing else at this point.

|Tales of Old Aberfeldy
|John MacGregor's Pipes
John MacGregor, a native of
was the finest piper of his day. He was piper to the
Atholl Highlanders,
the only surviving unit from the Jacobite forces of 1745. So fine a piper was
MacGregor that he was afforded the honour of playing before Queen Victoria
on her visit to
Taymouth Castle.
Having been at Glenfinnan to welcome Bonnie Prince Charlie it seemed appropriate that John MacGregor should "blow up the pipes" at the Battle of Culloden. John suffered horrendous injury on Culloden Moor but was fortunate to be amongst the few survivors. That evening was the last time he ever saw Bonnie Prince Charlie.
When the history of MacGregor's pipes became known there was fierce bidding, many Lairds keen to secure this relic of Scotland's history. It was no surprise that the Duke of Atholl should be amongst the bidders, but even John MacGregor himself could not have foreseen what was to come. Not only did the Duke of Atholl offer to match the highest bid, he also offered to settle on John a pension, thus allowing him to live out his days free of concern.

What happens when the #1 Matt in the world and the founding developer of WordPress goes out and purchases a dot TT?
Either you get excited for the coffers that may be filled by numerous others seeking to be as clever as Ma.tt or you groan at the process undertaken to register the domain.
While we have highlighted some of these issues as well as the government possibly playing a hand in the TLD's, Matt reasoned that though it was a bit expensive, the cost of a good domain now runs between 1-10K USD and this individualized domain was worth it.
As a shrewd SEO and branding move as it sure beat a dot name, will this open the eyes to the untapped potential and value of the local TLD's that have been largely ignored?
We can only hope that by the time it comes for Ma.tt to renew his domain, the process and price is more accessible and the market stays clear of governmental factors.

WEBSITE OF THE DAY - Instaprint
In this glorious digital age, the captured image is no longer the preserve of the professional snapper or the geeky camera nerd. Everybody's at it. And that means there are countless pictures out there that will never see the light of day, as they remain stuck on memory cards and hard drives.
Mobile apps have liberated the digital image to a degree not seen before and they make taking and sharing your pictures as easy as point, push and click. instagr.am is one of our favourites - it lets you add nostalgic filters and then share your images through Facebook, Twitter or Flickr.
Ah, but what if you want to print one? The good people at New York digital agency Breakfast have thought of that and come up with instaprint.me a brilliant location based photo booth.
Each box is set with its location or a specific hashtag, so any picture taken in Instagram using either will automatically pop out as a Polaroid-style print.
For parties and corporate events, this is a brilliant finishing touch and Pocket-lint hopes it crosses the Atlantic very soon.

CNU XII: Chicago
CNU XII, June 24-27, 2004, Chicago brought a record 1375 attendees to Chicago for a Congress built around the theme, "Blocks, Streets, and Buildings Today: The New City Beautiful." A set of sessions explored different visions of urbanism that have shaped cities and towns for better or worse, or have the potential to do so in the future. Major plenary and related breakout sessions explored the Traditional City, the Modernist City, and the Sustainable City, while a final session debated the relevance of the City Beautiful movement in forging a contemporary urbanism that draws on the best elements of these major conceptions of the city. CNU XII paid particular attention to the smallest scale of the Charter--the street, block, and building. Sessions included expert practitioners and theorists from around the country and the world including Andres Duany, Barbara Littenberg, Robert Campbell, Ralph Johnson, Ann Beha, Howard Decker, and Herbert Dreiseitl. A participant summed up CNU XII aptly by saying, "It was intense, worthwhile, educational, and gives hope that things can change."
