Like I said, it's been a while. I believe KDE comes with an editor or
converter or something.
I also think there's a NetPBM-style tool available, too, so you can
do something like:
giftopnm icon.gif | _something_ > favicon.ico
I forget what the "_something_" part is. ;)
I can check when I get home, if you'd like. I'm fairly sure I've got
that stuff installed there. (Debian/Woody w/ KDE)

Conservation best management practices (BMPs) are methods or actions that promote the conservation, protection, and/or restoration of our natural resources.
Conservation BMPs are an important tool for implementing plans and actions necessary to conserve, protect, and/or restore natural resources. This project was developed in Texas to identify BMPs to address landscape factors, land use practices, and impairments affecting the health of freshwater watershed habitats and ecosystems. To date, over 2000 BMPs from more than 150 local, state, national, and international organizations and agencies have been collected to address these threats. Scientific literature, species lists, critical habitats, and conservation priorities were also compiled to more effectively facilitate conservation planning and habitat restoration.

Research firm says recording industry has halted the skid in U.S. album sales for the first time since 2004.
It's the biggest news involving the compact disc in years: Amazon is expected to reward CD buyers by automatically storing the songs in their digital lockers free of charge, sources tell CNET -- and it may do the same for past CD purchases.
The sales numbers that matter most were down but the data being reported doesn't include revenue from subscription or satellite and Web radio, areas that are seeing big growth.
A 3.2 percent uptick in overall sales may not seem like much, but it's the first glimmer of hope since 2004.
Jim Donio has had to wave goodbye to Tower Records and Borders, but can the National Association of Recording Merchandisers help music retailers navigate uncertainty of digital age?
As CEO of Apple, Steve Jobs turned the music industry upside down and created one of the world's most valuable companies. Along the way he changed plenty of lives, too.
The music industry is betting big on cloud music and subscription services, but sales figures indicate that consumers will be a tough sell.
Was it the death of LimeWire, lower prices, Adele's skyrocketing popularity, or Amazon's big discount of Lady Gaga that halted a seven-year decline in album sales?
On today's show, special guest Thomas Dolby drops in to talk with us about the state of the music industry and digital distribution, his new album, and the amazing sounding MMORPG that goes along with it. We're pretty overwhelmed by his brilliance. But we recover a bit for tech news, like Hulu's 1 million paid users (and imminent death), and whether the Droid Bionic can catch up to the Atrix 4G.
Offering the star's new album for just 99 cents a pop last week, Amazon helped Lady Gaga reach a new record in digital sales.

CNET editor in chief steps down
Singh joined the company in 1996 to create News.com, which quickly became a leading authority in technology news at the height of the Internet boom. His responsibilities were expanded two years ago to include CNET's product reviews and other editorial operations, under the title of editor in chief and senior vice president of CNET.com.
"Last month marked my 12th anniversary here at CNET, and I realized I've outlasted the founders of this great company in tenure. I've decided it's time to take a breather, restore my health, and ponder what's next," Singh said in a letter to his staff. "A lot has changed and a lot will continue to change since I had the good fortune to conceive, create, and launch News.com. But I remain confident in the immutable law: users always reward media that put relentless focus on timely, insightful, and credible content."
Singh, 51, built a news staff that won scores of national journalism awards at a time when mainstream media were still skeptical of the Internet as a source of credible information. Under his stewardship, CNET News.com received honors from a broad array of journalistic organizations, including the Society of Professional Journalists, the Society of American Business Editors and Writers, the Gerald Loeb Awards, the National Press Club, the Online News Association, and the Western Publications Association. Named the Best Online News Service by Editor & Publisher three years in a row, News.com won the coveted National Magazine Award for General Excellence in 2004. It was recipient of the first Webby Award given to any news organization.
"Jai has done more than anyone else in legitimizing online journalism. As an early pioneer in an online-only news operation, Jai demonstrated that, irrespective of the medium, good journalism was good journalism," said Shelby Bonnie, co-founder and former chief executive of CNET. "He demonstrated that you could be both timely and right."
Aggressive reporting was a hallmark of Singh's tenure. As a result, News.com itself has occasionally been the subject of national headlines, involving such controversies as Hewlett-Packard's surveillance of reporters, Google's boycott on speaking with News.com, and Microsoft's lawsuit over sealed court documents obtained from confidential sources.
"For 12 years, the name Jai Singh has been synonymous with CNET. His dedication to building a world-class news organization has made News.com one of the most credible and well-respected media entities today," Joe Gillespie, executive vice president of CNET Networks, said in a staff e-mail. "Jai has been a trusted adviser and friend to many people in this company, and his leadership and integrity have contributed to CNET Networks' growth into a leading online media company with some of the world's most important and influential brands."
Singh had an extensive background in technology reporting even before coming to CNET, having held senior editorial positions at such leading trade publications as PC Week and InfoWorld. He began working in online journalism as early as the mid-1980s, when he was responsible for a 24-hour news operation owned by the Readers Digest Corp.
Marketing Computers magazine, which thrice named Singh "the most influential online journalist," once described him as "the founding father" of online technology reporting.
"Jai has always stood for doing it right and getting it right," Bonnie said in an interview. "Anyone who cares about where this medium has come, and the richness of journalism now available, owes a debt of gratitude to Jai."Singh's duties will now be split between Dan Farber, the new editor in chief of News.com, and Scott Ard, who has been appointed editor in chief of CNET Reviews. Farber had been editor in chief of CNET's ZDNet, and Ard had been an executive editor in charge of CNET Reviews and News.com.

- Mr Singh,
You are the entire reason my businesses are where they are today. I trusted you when you pushed forward and told the entire world this was the way of the future. I trusted news, banks and business sources because you said it was going to work. That seems like decades ago, today it is just the way we exist, thanks to all of your hard work and vision. You have enriched millions of lives and that is an awesome accomplishment.
May you fully enjoy whichever path you choose next, you have so richly earned it.
Be healthy, happy and safe, my trusted friend,

VIDEO: Sneak Peek - IFC.com's New Web Series KUMAIL TOURS PORTLANDIA
Before IFC's hit series Portlandia returns Friday, January 4, 2013 at 10:00pm ET/PT, IFC.com is pulling back the curtain on the town of Portland and the colorful locals that inspire the show with the new web series, KUMAIL TOURS PORTLANDIA. Comedian and frequent Portlandia guest star, Kumail Nanjiani (Franklin & Bash) stars as the tour guide to some of the idiosyncratic real-life Portland locations and residents that serve as the show's biggest influences. Directed by Portlandia co-creator and director Jonathan Krisel, Kumail Tours Portlandia premieres today exclusively on IFC.com with additional webisodes posting weekly throughout December and January http://www.ifc.com/shows/portlandia/kumail-tours-portlandia.
In the premiere webisode of Kumail Tours Portlandia, Kumail meets the real-life Toni & Candace by exploring the sketch-worthy feminist bookstore "In Other Words." Future Kumail tours include a conversation with the cosplay enthusiasts of the Portland Steampunk Society, an exploration of a vegan strip club and a visit to a local chicken retirement home.
"To meet people who actually embody the characters on Portlandia is very surreal," commented Nanjiani. "I went to a vegan strip club. Only in Portland would strip club patrons care if the food is vegan. Who's eating at the strip club anyway? You should eat a nice light meal before you go."
Watch how Portlanders continue to inspire Portlandia by catching the premiere of the third season on Friday, January 4, 2013 at 10pm ET/PT on IFC. In addition to the premiere in January, fans will receive an early all-new pre-premiere episode Friday, December 14, 2012 at 10:30pm ET/PT, which will also be available on IFC.com, the Portlandia Facebook page and iTunes the next day.

The Shura Council (SC) Arab, Foreign and National Security Committee discussed on Monday 4/2/2013 a draft protest law.
The bill gives the right to army officers, policemen and judges to stage protests.
The SC has the right to amend or add any article in the bill, which will be referred by the government to the council for endorsement, said Justice Ministry's representative counselor Omar Marwan.
Marwan, meanwhile, said the bill obliges the organizer of a protest to inform security forces of the place and time of the scheduled protest before hand.

CAIRO: Supporters of deposed Islamist president Mohamed Morsi torched three churches in central Egypt on Wednesday in reprisal attacks as police dispersed demonstrations in Cairo, reports said.
The assailants threw firebombs at Mar Gergiss church in Sohag, a city with a large community of Coptic Christians who comprise up to 10 percent of Egypt's 84 million people, causing it to burn down, the official MENA news agency said.
Security officials told AFP that another two churches were attacked in El-Menia province, leaving them partially damaged by fire.
Coptic rights group the Maspero Youth Union reported the same information, accusing Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood movement of "waging a war of retaliation" against the country's Christians.
Dozens of Morsi supporters were killed on Wednesday as security forces moved in to disperse them from two major protest camps in Cairo that they have occupied since around the time the army ousted him six weeks ago.
The Coptic church backed Morsi's removal, with Patriarch Tawadros II appearing alongside army chief General Abdel Fattah al-Sisi as he announced the military coup on July 3.

SGA's start features learning curve
| Marcus Clem reporter |
Following spring elections there are a lot of new faces in the Student Government Association as shown at the body's first meeting of the semester on Wednesday, Aug. 20.
Basic questions like where this Senate will meet and what committee roles each senator will hold are yet to be determined.
Senate members addressed recent changes to the Collegiate Readership Program, an issue that SGA has spent a great deal of time on in the past.
Only three newspaper bins remain active on campus. They are located in Grubbs Hall, the Kelce School of Business and the Kansas Technology Center.
About $21,000 remains in a fund provided by previous student fees to pay for the weekday availability of The Morning Sun, The Joplin Globe and USA Today.
Amoung the three, an average of 87 newspapers had been taken by students every day during last year's setup, when newspaper bins were located in most campus buildings.
At issue Wednesday night was whether to try to bump that number up by allowing professors access to the newspaper bins, which currently require a student's I.D. to open.
"By allowing professors to access these papers, we might be able to get the program back into what it's supposed to do," said Jordan Schaper, SGA president. "We could see this last for many years, otherwise it might not be here next year."
Sen. Michael Giffin disagreed.
"I feel that it should be saved for the students," he said. "If I had to bet, we'd just have a few more professors using it for their personal use."
Ultimately, the Senate adopted a resolution to allow professor access. It will come up again next week for a final vote.
Senators also finalized SGA's target size for the 2014-2015 academic year at 40. To reach that goal, the 24 active senators will need to be supplemented by vacancy appointments, which are now open to all colleges and for the at-large seats.
The process will be overseen by Jaci Gilchrist, SGA vice president. Senators will be appointed to a vacancy committee where candidates will be recruited, interviewed and voted in over an estimated five-week schedule.
Sen. Brendan Finley took some time to remind the Senate, in keeping with his position as SGA's representative to the university's Tobacco Task Force, that soft implementation of a campus-wide tobacco ban will begin in January.
At that time, all ashtrays will be removed from campus and a campaign will begin to encourage smoking cessation, including free nicotine patches and gum for students.
Enforcement guidelines are not yet finalized, but the hard-implementation for the ban is scheduled to start in July 2015.

How to slim pianos down and let them go into the houses of many more people? There're several possible methods, one of which is this "Flat Piano" concept by Yun Jin-yeong and Jeong Seong-hun. The new piano looks bit of the same as items sold by IKEA, featuring modular units that can be assembled together, and therefore ensures a more convenient transportation.

Although the March 15 deadline has passed, a UConn source said Friday that the school and Jim Calhoun have agreed to continue talks on the possibility of the former men's basketball coach remaining at the school.
According to Article 10.1 of his 2010 contract, Calhoun could accept a $1 million final payment or an appointment of up to five years as coach emeritus at $300,000 a year. When Calhoun stepped down as coach in September, a mid-March deadline was set in a transitional agreement that made Calhoun a special assistant to the athletic director.

Major Chemical Capacities Remain Offline in Japan Following Earthquake
9:29 AM MDT | March 15, 2011 | Ian Young
Many chemical plants remain offstream in Japan following the massive earthquake and tsunami that struck the northeast of the country on March 11. Leading Japanese chemical producers report taking plants offstream as a precautionary measure and as a result of power outages. Reported damage to chemical units is not substantial, however. Most of the temporary shutdowns are in Chiba and Ibaraki prefectures, on the coast to the east of Tokyo. Mitsubishi Chemical reports that its entire manufacturing complex at Kashima, Ibaraki is offline, including onsite...

...Speaking of Countertops.
I have a nice slab of red granite that I would like to cut into a 18" X 5' length.
So, what do you use? A saw, grinder... one billion jigga watt laser?
Re: ...Speaking of Countertops.
I have done that with a diamond blade on a regular skill saw. You can fill up a big plastic soda bottle with water, and puncture a hole to line up with the height of the middle of the blade -- so that you can squeeze the bottle and shoot a thin stream of water to keep the blade from getting too hot. Home Depot carries a cheap blade.
Anybody know where to pick up a good, cheap laser? :-)
Re: ...Speaking of Countertops.
One of our members claimed to unbolt the head from his HF 10" wet saw and use it freehand to make such cuts. (This is not a recommendation...) Do not neglect your local stoneyard, for a few bucks they'll cut it to the size you want, and polish the edges too. If it saves you from getting injured, it's cheap at any price.
Re: ...Speaking of Countertops.
If you use a guide held in place with clamps, the skill saw method is safe and it does a pretty good job. I even cut 45º angles for indoor granite counters, and it came out nicely.
Just take your time and don't push the blade too hard or too fast.
Re: ...Speaking of Countertops.
I have drilled small holes near the bottom of a tin can, filled it with water, and placed it on the surface to be cut. It provides a continuous stream of water to the surface to keep the skill saw blade cool provided both the saw and the tin can can both fit on the same surface.
Re: ...Speaking of Countertops.
The Home Depot in my area rents several diamond blade concrete saws, from a hand held, gas powered, 14 inch to a bigger walk behind unit. I'd opt for the stone place to do the major long cuts, if they break it, you're not left holding the pieces.

The Glen Helen Nature Preserve's woods, streams, cliffs, and meadows provide inspiration for legions of artists. The Glen also provides opportunities for artists to display their work in the Atrium Gallery. In order to protect the Glen for present and future visitors we request that artists follow the same rules and guidelines as the rest of our visitors including staying on the trail and out of the water at all times.
Atrium Gallery
The Gallery exhibits contemporary art by local and regional artists. : exhibition calendar :
Opportunities for Artists
We love to hear from artists who are interested in helping us promote our programs and beautify our spaces. This could include a wall mural in our visitor center or creating something that we may sell in our Nature Shop (an important source of earned revenue for Glen Helen). Ongoing opportunities for artists include solo or group shows in the Atrium Gallery and participating in the Glen Helen Calendar Photography contest. : more information :

I've been meaning to tell you that these crane pictures are wonderful!!
I love giant birds!!
In fact, this fall we'll be in Colorado and we're making a detour to spend a day at a place where cranes stop during their migration. We only rarely see sandhill cranes in NH....and I've never seen more than one at a time.
Thanks for taking the pictures!! These birds are awesome!!

Real focus happens inside the camera's lens element. The sharpening features in Photoshop CS3 exaggerate the contrast along edges in a photograph to transform a well-focused image into an outstanding image. In Photoshop CS3 Sharpening Images, Deke McClelland teaches a host of sharpening and noise reduction techniques, including using filters such as Unsharp Mask, Smart Sharpen, High Pass, and Reduce Noise. The training teaches the essentials of sharpening, including what it does, why it's important, and how the filters function. Plus, the training covers Deke's recommended best practices, including the four distinct varieties of sharpening, which can be used independently or in combination with each other. Photoshop CS3 Sharpening Images is about how to transform images from looking good to looking their absolute best. Exercise files accompany the course.
Lets start things up by taking a look at how to sharpen a low frequency image. By low frequency, I mean gradual transitions between luminance levels, between highlights and mid-tones and shadows inside of the image. Now you typically want to treat any portrait shot as a low frequency image, even if it has a busy background with a lot of rapid transitions. Lot of rapid luminance transitions in it or if the person is wearing busy clothing with a lot of tight fabric patterns and so on. Even So you want to go ahead and treat it as a low frequency image because that is the most forgiving kind of sharpening that you can apply and after all we do want to be forgiving even with beautiful people like this one, right here.
Now I should tell you that we are going to start things up from the very beginning. So we are going to sharpen for the source. Bring the image in the Photoshop as a Smart Object and then we are going to sharpen for detail inside of Photoshop and sort of mix and match our source sharpening and our detail sharpening. You will see, it's a fairly elaborate process when done properly. Now I have the Bridge showing down the 06_for_detail folder, that's inside the exercise files folder and I have gone ahead and selected this image right here, that's called Coffee to go.jpg.
Don't fret about the fact we are only seeing couple of thumbnails on screen right now. You are going to see more thumbnails inside of your folder because I am building the images up still as I am talking to you. Anyway, this image, this wonderful image here comes to us from photographer Quavondo Nguyen. I just love that first name, Quavondo, of iStockphoto.com once again and lets go ahead and start by sharpening the image for the source, as I was saying. So I am going to bring the image in Camera RAW. It's my favorite way to work, not necessarily the only way to work but I think its the best and most effective way to work and so I go up to the File menu and choose Open in Camera RAW, and I do want to mention something to you at the outset here.
I have noticed in this particular version of the bridge just may it be fixed by time you are working inside the bridge but every so often this command will appear inexplicably dimmed as if you can't apply it to JPEG images or TIFF images which you can. You should be able to do that on a regular basis, no matter what and the only kinds of files you really cant effect are layered files like, made of PSD documents. You cant open that inside Camera RAW but JPEGs and TIFFs, are just fine. If the Open in Camera RAW Command appears dimmed, here is a little trick.
You go to the Tools menu. This is mostly works 95% of the time. I have had it failed couple of times but it mostly works. Go up to the Tools menu choose Cache and choose Purge Cache or Folder, blah, blah, blah. Essentially purge the thumbnails, that's what you are doing for this particular folder, and that should take care of your problem. Then you should be able to click on this file and all should be well. If not you may need to sort of click between folders and just fool around a little bit. It's weird. I don't know why the bridge does this. But anyway, probably a bug. I am going to go up to the File menu choose Open in Camera RAW, Ctrl+R or Command+R in Mac in order to Open the Camera RAW dialog box.
Lets go ahead and zoom in on her eyes here and I am going to make sure that I am seeing the image at the 100% zoom ratio. Right now it's a 117 or whatever, that's what I am saying. I will go ahead and press Ctrl+minus or Command+minus on the Mac in order to zoom out a little bit. Now lets switch over to the Detail panel right here. Now I should warn you just because we are seeing the Amount value of zero for sharpening doesn't mean that some sharpening hasn't been applied before to this image. It's very possible that the original photographer sharpened this image to some extent.
Either when they originally opened the image in Camera RAW and saved it out as a JPEG or during the editing cycle. It's very possible this image is already been sharpened in advance. It doesn't look like it to me, that's why I am going ahead and treating it as a completely unsharpened image. Alright. So I am going to go ahead and take this amount value up to 150% just so that I can gauge the proper values. Obviously this is way too much and then I might take the Radius value up to 1.5 since this is a low frequency image. We saw on the previous chapter that when you are working with a low frequency inside of Camera RAW, you want a low amount which we don't have so far but we will.
A low amount, a high radius, a low detail value and a high masking value. So lets leave the detail value where it is, at 25 and then I am going to Alt or Option-drag the masking value over here to about 17, looks pretty good to me. That's going to protect most of the skin and reveal the real edges around the eyes and the mouth and the nose and the ears and so on. Now that we have done that, lets go ahead and backup the Amount value, and I am going to take it down to lets say something along lines of 50%, maybe a little higher just so that we can see the effects of our sharpening very easily on screen.
Lets go and take it a 60% here. So just so that you can see the difference. This is before and this is after and just in case that isnt reading super well on the video, lets go ahead and zoom in and click here to the 200% view size. This is the before view and this is the after view. So a fair amount of sharpening that we are applying. Next what I want you do, I want you to press and hold the Shift key, then I want you to click on this button down here, that says, Open Object. Go ahead and click, while the Shift key is down, then you can release Shift. So you just want to Shift+click on that button.
In order to open the image in Photoshop as we have done and of course, we have also gone ahead and opened the image as the Smart Object, as you can see over here, inside the Layers palette, we gave little Smart Object icon down in lower right hand corner of the thumbnail. Alright, so this is good. We have now sharpened for source and we have taken the detail into account. In the next exercise, we are going to apply a second pass of sharpening. Sounds a little dangerous but it works beautifully actually. We are going to apply a second pass of sharpening in order to take into account just the detail not the source.
Just the detail inside this image.

And there it is.
As many people have said, Obama's statement wasn't a mistake. He really meant it. He thinks the private sector really is kicking ass. It still exists after all. That means it's totally rad in the opinion of Master of The Business Universe Barry.
If you really want to see the President's delusion fleshed out, here's part-time Cherokee warrior princess and full-time socialist windowlicker Elizabeth Warren to drop some mad redistribution science on our bitter clinging minds. It's a little old, but timeless classics are always worth a second look.
I hear all this, "You know, well, this is class warfare. This is whatever." No! There is nobody in this country who got rich on his own. Nobody! You built a factory out there? Good for you! But I want to be clear: You moved your goods to market on the roads the rest of us paid for. You hired workers the rest of us paid to educate. You, uh, were safe in your factory because of police forces and fire forces that the rest of us paid for. You didn't have to worry that marauding bands would come and seize everything at your factory and hire someone to protect against this because of the work the rest of us did.
Shorter Elizabeth Warren: "You who are productive shall be yoked to the state–AND YOU WILL LIKE IT."
No thanks, scab.
This mindset of the ruling class, where we work for them and they tell us how it's gonna be, is fairly messed up. What's even more messed up is that a significant portion of the American electorate thinks this government-centric thinking makes sense.
Conservatives could have 300 seats in the House. They could have 65 seats in the Senate. They could win the Presidency in November. All that would be great.
But all of those things would be very short-lived unless conservatives do more to change the culture of America. The trite pandering statism of Barack Obama and Big Chief Lizzy-Dub will always find an audience. It's our job to make that audience shrink by making the traditionalist case as vociferously and persuasively as possible.

forgot to dip my fire brick in water
Hi everyone,
I've been lurking here for some time gaining some very useful information...a BIG thanks to FB for hosting these forums!
I finally need to post a question though, because halfway through the second course of my dome installation I ran out of Heat Stop 50. I remember reading the sticky on FB about homebrew, so I quickly looked it up again (to get the quantities) and mixed my own. Everything went great and I was able to complete my entire oven yesterday. This morning I woke up realizing that I remembered reading I was supposed to dip my fire bricks in water!
Now I'm very nervous and wanted to know what's going to happen to my oven. I tried searching FB for someone making the same mistake but wasn't able to find anything.
Does anyone have any suggestions or comments regarding this? I just don't want to worry or move forward on the oven if it's not recommended.
Thanks again FB and everyone!
Re: forgot to dip my fire brick in water
Thanks you for the post.
Re: forgot to dip my fire brick in water
Dipping the bricks in water is to mitigate the mortar "drying up" before it has a chance to cure. Dry bricks can "suck" the moisture from the mortar. There are lots of variables such as the amount of water in your mortar to begin with and the relative humidity.
Closely examine the mortar work you have done. If it is solid and not powdery you are OK.
Re: forgot to dip my fire brick in water
Thanks Neil. I checked the mortar, and it's solid as a rock...I can't even scratch it with my fingernail. Any chance this will change over time, or am I gonna be okay?
Re: forgot to dip my fire brick in water
No worries, you do not have to dip the bricks, it just makes it a little easier sometimes.
Re: forgot to dip my fire brick in water
"Any chance this will change over time, ...?"
No. You are good to go.
