Pro Video Editing with Pitivi
Several decent video editors are available on the Linux platform. Kdenlive, OpenShot, Cinelerra and Pitivi are those that come to mind as "big players" in an admittedly small market. I've used them all through the years, with varying levels of success. A frustration of mine is that invariably, I end up using a proprietary video editing suite like iMovie or Final Cut Pro when I have to do a larger project. As an open-source enthusiast, that doesn't settle well with me.
Although I'm honestly not sure Pitivi is the best choice for Linux-based video editing, I truly can say that its current fundraising push is impressive. The "kickstarter" concept is old hat by now, but that doesn't mean a well-planned campaign isn't still a great idea. The Pitivi team is trying to raise enough money to put serious coding time into the program and get to the 1.0 release. That's only the first step of the journey, however, because after the solid 1.0 foundation is complete, future features will be added according to contribution and user-base voting.
I'm confident to say that Pitivi is currently a great choice for video editing on Linux. If the fundraising campaign works out well, it soon may be the clear leader in stability and functionality. Thanks to the combination of an incredible product plus a game plan to get even better, Pitivi is this month's Editors' Choice. If you want to be a part of Pitivi's future, check out the fundraiser page at http://fundraiser.pitivi.org. If you want to test the program itself, you can download it today for your favorite distribution at http://www.pitivi.org.

Critical Essay by Richard Hornby
SOURCE: "English Versus American Acting," in The Hudson Review, Vol. XLVI, No. 2, Summer, 1993, pp. 365-71.
In the following excerpt, Hornby discusses characterization in The Sisters Rosensweig.
Wendy Wasserstein's new play, The Sisters Rosensweig, like her earlier Heidi Chronicles, is a pseudo-feminist piece that will no doubt eventually be performed in every college theatre in the country. The three eponymous sisters at first give the impression of being independent women, but soon reveal a predilection for inadequate men, who nonetheless manage to dominate their lives.
The oldest sister, Sara, heads an international bank. The second, amusingly named "Gorgeous," is the wife of a corporate lawyer from Newton, Massachusetts, and a radio personality herself. The youngest is Pfeni, a globe-trotting journalist. As the play begins, all three gather in London for Sara's fifty-fourth birthday. Sara, who has been married three times, in the course of the play has a one-night affair with a furrier who talks like a second-rate Jewish comic. Gorgeous reveals that her corporate lawyer husband is actually unemployed and playing at being a film noir detective, supported by her income as a radio purveyor of advice. Pfeni breaks up with the man in her life, a homosexual stage director. Sara's daughter, Tess, breaks up with her young man, an Irishman dedicated to the unlikely cause of Latvian independence.
Thus the four women, for all their supposed liberation, are defined by their relationship with men. Sara is supposed to be a big-time banker, but we see her spending no time at all on what in real life would be an all-consuming profession; in the course of the play she cooks a meal, sleeps with a man, and chats with her sisters and daughter, all traditional female activities. Gorgeous' radio work, though lucrative, is revealed to be utterly bogus; her principal obsession is elegant clothing. Pfeni, like the title character in The Heidi Chronicles, is hooked on a male homosexual, who leaves her because he misses men. If this is supposed to be a feminist play, I would hate to see one in which Wasserstein was being traditionalist!
The Broadway production of The Sisters Rosensweig succeeded because of superlative performances by two of the three leads. (If nothing else, Wasserstein can attract fine actresses.) Jane Alexander, who in real life is WASP to the core, played the role of Sara with a perfect balance of Jewishness and elegance, strongly mixed with intelligence and humor. Nevertheless, Madeline Kahn, the funniest American actress since Fannie Brice, managed to surpass her. Her Jewish inflections, perfect comic timing, and boundless energy made her performance a joy. At one point, the furrier brings Gorgeous the genuine Chanel suit she has always dreamed of wearing; Kahn's reaction with surprise, delight, and near-sexual ecstasy was worth the price of admission.
As Pfeni, Christine Estabrook was the weakest of the three sisters, but part of the problem was in the writing; for a hot-shot international journalist, Pfeni seems surprisingly staid and passive. John Vickery brought energy and charm to the role of the gay director; the rest of the cast were unremarkable. Daniel Sullivan directed with pace and subtlety; Jane Greenwood's costumes were, as usual, superb, as was John Lee Beatty's elegant setting, a Queen Anne style living room, bright and diverse, with beautiful white flowered wallpaper. One of Beatty's great strengths as a designer is his ability to suggest a world beyond what we see. Here, his gracefully angled setting, with its many levels and areas, not only made for lovely, constantly changing stage pictures, but led us imaginatively to the remainder of the sumptuous townhouse, and the genteel quarter of London in which it is situated. Finally, Pat Collins' lighting … perfectly suggested the cool, misty, shifting light of soggy London.

Godkänt hotell med mycket bra läge!Posted Feb 3, 2013 on Hotels
Min fru och jag bodde på detta hotell i 7 dagar. Rummet var fräscht dock lite dammråttor under sängen. Ett stort minus var fläckiga handdukar och sängkläder...Dubbelsängen vi hade var hård som sten..vilket verkar vara normalt i Thailand? Men vi var nöjda ändå pga det perfekta läget till stranden, bara över gatan. Hotellet är uppdelad i 5 byggnader, byggnad 1 ligger närmast stranden och 2:an bakom etc. Vi bodde i byggnad 4, tar väl 2 min extra till stranden. Frukost serveras i byggnad 5. Frukosten var helt okej, omelett, nudlar, frukt, allt det vanliga..Dock värt att nämna är att detta hotell är invaderat av ryssar, likaså stranden vid hotellet, som en ryss sa till mig..this is the russian beach! :) Men de är trevliga och roliga att se på! :)) Så vill du ha ett helt okej hotell och grymt läge till stranden i Karon beach..ta detta hotell!

Aussie experiencePosted Jan 12, 2013
Pros: Staff were friendly & lovely, especially when we tried to speak Thai. Great pools. Limited English yes, but helped the best the could.
Cons: Many of the other guests were extremely rude & unfriendly & avoided eye contact. Australians are not used to that!
Location: Excellent location, directly across the road from Karon Beach (which is beautiful). Plenty of everything within walking distance.
Location is ideal (right across the road from the beach). The beach extends for miles in both directions, you can pay 100B for a lounge chair or use a towel on the sand for free. The mattresses on the beds are super hard. Rooms are very clean. Good sized fridge (keeps drinks very cold). Good air conditioning. Two large bottles of water in room daily/tea/coffee, etc. Plenty of towels for general & beach/pool (hotel has 3 pools). Buffet breakfast (included in room price) is quite good, plenty of choices. We had 10 days from 1st Jan 13 - the hotel was 90% occupied by Russians (owned by Russians) whose culture is very different to Australians (no greetings, no eye contact, pushy)- Ruins the experience somewhat. Plenty of restaurants within a 5min walk, day/night market 10min walk. Walk further towards Patong for more shopping and night life & Aussie Bars. Tuk Tuk to Patong 400B - great for singles, night life & shopping. Metered taxi at airport was 600B to hotel. Unmetered from hotel to airport 1200B. Bargain hard, walk away lots.

Warning from an experienced travellerPosted Nov 8, 2012
Pros: The beach
Cons: Read review
Location: Near the beach
Without a doubt the worst accomodation and service we have seen to date. We arrived on time and were asked to wait 30 minutes for a room. The staff offered no explanation or apology. We finally got in to find it had barely been cleaned. The facilities are extremely dated and they are very selective with photos. The gym had 3 cardio machines, 2 of which were broken and a 10kg ser of rusted dumbells. In the room itself the sitcom unit is placed directly over the bed. Your choice is to have it freeze you even on a warm setting or sweat it out. We had dinner in the restaurant the first night and 20 minutes after my wifes dinner came mine didn't show. They kept saying 5 more minutes so in the end we paid for what we received and left. The bell hops are very helpful but the front desk ignore people even when they are spoken to directly and had very poor English; especially for a Thai resort for foreigners. At one point 4 staff just sat there as the line built up.The breakfast buffet had a live cockroach crawling around it. When we checked out the taxi driver tried the old no meter overcharge on the fare, we said no and asked the desk to call a taxi, they refused and said they wouldn't help. With further questioning it was apparent thy had an arrangement with the drivers. Having stayed at 5 other hotels in 5 countries over the month this was the low point. Do not stay here unless you are expecting a backpackers equivalent.

Great hotels for PricePosted Nov 4, 2012
The hotel was good nice and clean great for the price but the front desk people are horrible wouldn't help at all wouldnt answer questions. On one evening we went to ask for water around 930 pm they said sorry you have to go buy it around the corner then the wonderful bell hop guy saw us after we went and bought some and showed up at our room with 2 bottles. On wake up calls if you could get one because they normally just answered the phone and hung up other than the front desk loved the location

Matt attended the 'China: Through The Looking Glass' Costume Institute Benefit Gala last night, looking dreamy in Armani. Our gallery has been updated with images from his arrival.
Earlier this morning Joe Manganiello visited Good Morning America and the new Magic Mike XXL trailer was presented. It will be released officially tomorrow (06) but you can check it below:
Magic Mike XXL hits theaters July 1.
Yesterday (May 01) Matt took a time off to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the UCLA Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center's "Taste for a Cure" fundraiser. He flocked to the Beverly Wilshire Friday night to support the JCCC's cancer research efforts and honor David Madden, Fox Broadcasting's president of entertainment, with the 2015 Gil Nickel Humanitarian Award. Check pictures added in our gallery:
We already know that "American Horror Story" season five will be set in a hotel, and we're guessing it might even take place during the Golden Age of Hollywood in the Garden of Allah hotel, but what we don't know is how Lady Gaga fits into all of this. Sure, Ryan Murphy teased that Gaga's role on "American Horror Story: Hotel" will "shock people," but doesn't everyone in "AHS" carry an air of shock and surprise?
Now, thanks to "Hotel" star Matt Bomer, we have our first major Gaga-centric clue. We caught up with Bomer at CinemaCon in Las Vegas, where he was promoting "Magic Mike XXL," and he spilled the deets on what we can expect in "AHS: Hotel."
"I know that I'll be working with Stefani [Germanotta], Lady Gaga, pretty extensively, so I'm excited about that," he said. "Our storyline is really, really fun," he added. "And I think what they're doing with our characters is really unique and kind of an original take on it."
Earlier today, the character posted for Matt on Magic Mike XXL was revealed and, well… see it for yourself:
'Our Ken doll is back, and this time he's XXL.'
The poster of Matt was one of several already released by Magic Mike XXL as part of an incredibly intelligent marketing scheme. Star Channing Tatum featured in the first poster released, while Adam Rodriguez and Stephen 'tWitch' Boss soon followed.
Magic Mike XXL will be released in North America on July 1.
Matt and his Magic Mike XXL partners Channing Tatum, Adam Rodriguez, and Joe Manganiello presented Jennifer Lopez with the award for best scared-as-s**t performance at the MTV Movie Awards last night, in Los Angeles. Jennifer asked them to show the audience their "dance moves" but only Tatum was available to do it.
Check pictures added in our gallery, with thanks to Lindsey for her help:
A new "Magic Mike XXL" promotional image was shared today by USA Today on their 'Summer Movie Preview' special article. Check the full sized picture in our gallery.
MAGIC MIKE XXL (July 1)
Stars: Channing Tatum, Joe Manganiello, Matt Bomer
Director: Gregory Jacobs
Plot: Mike (Tatum) and his fellow male exotic dancers take a road trip from Tampa to Myrtle Beach for one last big blowout at a stripper convention.
Team dynamic: Because the first Magic Mike focused mainly on the title character, there wasn't enough time to get to know the interesting personalities of guys like Ken (Bomer) or the fittingly named Big Dick Richie (Manganiello). Therein lies the appeal of the sequel for Jacobs — aside from the shirt-ripping, hip-thrusting, wild and crazy dance numbers, of course. "There's a great bromance to it," the director says. "They all really committed to who these characters are, and they really bring a lot and embrace the idiosyncrasies. They're a fun group of guys to spend 100 minutes with."
Magic Mike XXL is featured on current Entertainment Weekly 'Summer Movie Preview' issue, with a brand new picture of the guys on the upcoming sequel.
There's more to XXL than just naked dudes – although there is a lot of that too. The film picks up three years later, with Mike and his dancing budies (Matt Bomer and Joe Manganiello among others) taking a road trop to a – yes! – stropper convention in Myrtle Beach, S.C.
Magic Mike XXL opens on July 1st. Check the full scan in our gallery:
Shane Black's The Nice Guys, starring Ryan Gosling, Matt Bomer and Russell Crowe, will hit theaters a few weeks earlier than expected.
Warner Bros. is moving up the release of the movie from June 17, 2016 to May 20, 2016.
Set in 1970s Los Angeles, Nice Guys follows a private eye (Gosling) and a hired leg breaker (Crowe) who must work together to solve the case of a missing girl and the seemingly unrelated death of a porn star.
In its new date, Nice Guys goes up against family film Angry Birds, while Central Intelligence takes on Pixar's long-awaited Finding Dory.

Old English grund "bottom, foundation, ground, surface of the earth," especially "bottom of the sea" (a sense preserved in run aground), from Proto-Germanic *grundus, which seems to have meant "deep place" (cf. Old Frisian, Old Saxon, Danish, Swedish grund, Dutch grond, Old High German grunt, German Grund "ground, soil, bottom;" Old Norse grunn "a shallow place," grund "field, plain," grunnr "bottom"). No known cognates outside Germanic. Sense of "reason, motive" first attested c.1200; electrical sense is from 1870.
mid-13c., "to put on the ground, to strike down to the ground," from ground (n.). Of ships, "to run into the ground," from mid-15c. Meaning "to base" (an argument, sermon, etc.) is late 14c. Meaning "deny privileges" is 1940s, originally a punishment meted out to pilots (in which sense it is attested from 1930). Related: Grounded; grounding.
"reduced to fine particles by grinding," 1765, past participle adjective from grind.
Old English giefan (W. Saxon) "to give, bestow; allot, grant; commit, devote, entrust," class V strong verb (past tense geaf, past participle giefen), from Proto-Germanic *gebanan (cf. Old Frisian jeva, Middle Dutch gheven, Dutch geven, Old High German geban, German geben, Gothic giban), from PIE *ghabh- "to take, hold, have, give" (see habit). It became yiven in Middle English, but changed to guttural "g" by influence of Old Norse gefa "to give," Old Danish givæ. Meaning "to yield to pressure" is from 1570s.
Give in "yield" is from 1610s; give out is mid-14c., "publish, announce;" meaning "run out, break down" is from 1520s. Give up "surrender" is mid-12c. To give (someone) a cold seems to reflect the old belief that one could be cured of disease by deliberately infecting others. What gives? "what is happening?" is attested from 1940. Give-and-take (n.) is originally from horse racing (1769) and refers to races in which bigger horses were given more weight to carry, lighter ones less. General sense attested by 1778.
A command to speak, to explain, etc: She said, ''Give!,'' so I told all (1956+)

When you experiment with cocktails, sometimes the most interesting ones are the ones least explored. This is never more evident than using really fabulous coffee from NYC's Ninth Street Espresso and hand-made Bourbon Whiskey from St. George in Alameda, California. Alameda? What do they know about Bourbon Whiskey in California?
Plenty. The distillers find their way down to Kentucky and hand select the barrels they want to use to age their own uniquely styled Bourbon Whiskey. They call it plundering. You will call it delicious. I'm pretty sure you can find Breaking and Entering Bourbon around the land.
If not, try the kind folks at CASK in San Francisco. They are on the web and I've done a bit of business with them in the past with friendly and fantastic results.
This Breaking and Entering Bourbon was just made for your snifter or better yet, your coffee cup on a cold winter morning.
Tasting Notes on the Bourbon: Maple syrup gives way to brooding alcohol and dried citrus fruits. Sweet vanilla and pain grille on the nose. Maybe it was the coffee brewing in the background, but I swear I smell freshly ground coffee in the nose!
First, grind some coffee.
Next, add to a Melitta Ceramic filter holder.
Pre-heat your mug with boiling water.
Add two cubes of La Perruche Sugar. Brown color, in chunks are my desire!
Add one shot of Breaking and Entering Bourbon.
Add one medicine dropper of Bitter End Mexican Mole' Bitters.
Pour boiling water over the top of the coffee and let rest for a minute or two, then pour more water over the grounds.
Adjust sweetening to your taste- add an extra shot if you want to get ripped.
Enjoy your morning coffee in a new way!
I used Ninth Street Espresso from New York City's Chelsea Market. It was a Mexican blend. Went marvelously with the Breaking and Entering Bourbon!
December 13, 2011
Sounds fantastic. I'll have to try that.

Imagine no religion?
Every once in awhile, you come across someone who has summarized a point exceedingly well. I had that experience recently in reading an interview of George Weigel by Kathryn Jean Lopez regarding Weigel's forthcoming collection of essays, Practicing Catholic.
While conservatives are often said to be "against" the environment, this has often struck me as claim that is bizarre on its face. No one chooses to poison his own living space. To the contrary, our environmental disputes tend to be about the trade-offs between our desire to use the environment to further human flourishing and the need to protect it from unwise uses. To be sure, one can be wrong about the harm that some course of conduct will cause and human beings will always be tempted to cut corners in a way that they should not, but environmental issues have always struck me as pragmatic and practical questions that are ill served by moral posturing and claims to be "for" or "against" the "environment" or some anthropomorphized geographical feature. It is a question that ought to acknowledge that advanced industrial societies – those who can develop and implement environmental protections – tend to be the cleanest.
This is not an area that is served by a desire to go back to the good old – and allegedly – pristine days. It is not clear to me that the cause of environmental integrity will ever be served by an extreme version of the Precautionary Principle which exaggerates risks and minimizes benefit. Don't believe me? Think about nuclear power, fossil fuels and the risk of climate change.
Here's Weigel:
LOPEZ: What do you have against Earth Day?
WEIGEL: I'm generally against pantheism, and what the first "Earth Day" set in motion was the transformation of the environmental movement from a conservation movement (which any reasonable person could and should support) to what is now an increasingly irrational cult, impervious to either the reality of trade-offs in public policy or (if I may quote President Obama and Al Gore) "the science."

Ann Romney, wife of former presidential candidate Mitt Romney, has written a cookbook called "The Romney Family Table." In it, she "shares a unique blend of heartwarming (and often humorous) stories, homegrown traditions, and hearty recipes that have brought her family together," according to a description on the publisher's website.
The "photo-filled" cookbook will include Romney family favorites such as "Mitt's Meatloaf Cakes, homemade ice cream, and Welsh Skillet Cookies," the latter of which she passed around on a campaign plane last year.
In an interview, Romney cites her children—and a suggestion from one of her five sons—as her inspiration for writing the book, as well as her family background. "I come from a line of good cooks," she says, and wanted to write about "cooking with love."
"The Romney Family Table" will be released October 1 and is already available for preorder at some online retailers.

The nominees for the 2013 Benois de la Danse Awards were announced today at a press conference in Moscow—and they include a former Pointe cover star, several exciting up-and-comers and many other big names. Here's the complete list: CHOREOGRAPHERSHans Van Manen – Variations for Two Couples, Benjamin Britten, Einojuhani Rautavaara, Stevan Kovács Tickmayer, Astor Piazolla. Dutch National Ballet.Justin Peck – Year of the Rabbit, Sufjan Stevens. New York City Ballet.
The Joffrey Ballet School Performance Company is currently on tour in the South, and dancer Melissa Westlake is sharing her experience with Pointe.
Day 1: Monday, April 15
Few ballerinas are as adventurous as New York City Ballet's Wendy Whelan. "I like to be the paint and the brush," she says, "but just not the person holding the brush." At the Guggenheim's Works & Process this weekend, Whelan discussed and performed excerpts of "Restless Creature," a suite of duets created collaboratively with contemporary dancer-choreographers Kyle Abraham, Joshua Beamish, Brian Brooks and Alejandro Cerrudo.
This interview first appeared in the April 17 Pointe e-newsletter. To sign up for the newsletter, click here.
I've always told myself that when my ankle swells, that's just my body attempting to heal itself. I'm not completely wrong: Inflammation—and the swelling, heat, pain and redness that comes with it—is our body's first response to injury. However, sometimes this attempt to destroy the damaged tissue goes a little too far and our body starts attacking healthy tissue, too. That's where anti-inflammatory medications come in, preventing the negative consequences of inflammation. The only problem?
With its mix of gangsters, vaudeville and ballet, On Your Toes was the first major Broadway musical to incorporate classical dance—courtesy of George Balanchine. One of the 1936 show's numbers is the much-beloved Slaughter on Tenth Avenue, often performed by itself as a standalone ballet.
Mark your calendars: There's some great ballet coming into your life over the next couple of weeks—all of which you can catch from the comfort of your couch. Keep an eye out for these programs:
Wendy Whelan: "Restless Creature" The New York City Ballet superstar will preview her new project at the Guggenheim Museum. She'll perform excerpts from new duets created collaboratively with choreographers Joshuah Beamish and Brian Brooks, and show a solo by Shen Wei.
Some clothes just look better when they're in motion. And what motion is more beautiful than that of a ballet dancer? Fashion designer Christian Siriano (of "Project Runway" fame) recently tapped three ABT Studio Company dancers to show off his Spring/Summer collection. Katerina Eng, Isabelle Seiler and Carolyn Lippert dance in this dreamy ad set in New York's Waldorf Astoria Hotel. They look gorgeous—and so do the dresses.
Did you catch "Dancing With The Stars" this week? Normally, I wouldn't say the ballroom extravaganza is a must-see for ballet dancers. But the show's latest episode featured Brilynn Rakes, a talented 17-year-old student who trains at the Dmitri Kulev Classical Ballet Academy in California—and also happens to be legally blind. Born with a birth defect known as cone dystrophy, her eyes aren't able to filter out light, causing everything to appear 20 times brighter.
Do you remember your first Nutcracker? For young ballet students, the chance to perform in the classic holiday ballet simply feels magical. A documentary filmmaker recently went behind the scenes to capture that glee and giddiness at the Marat Daukayev School of Ballet in Los Angeles. Getting to the Nutcracker follows the journeys of over 400 students from first audition to final performance—all led by Daukayev, a former Kirov star.

What about my system freezing... any clue ?
no clue on your freezing, although I'm anxious to blame yoru VIA chipset but I know I'll get attacked for that by VIA fanboys
. Other possibilities include hardware conflicts or maybe a bad memory module. Also what kind of memory are you using and what speed?
As for UT2k3, no I assure you those results are to be expected with that CPU. And I'm glad to hear you have a FX5600 Ultra, that's a good thing, but with that CPU you're not doing it any justice. Trust me, if you want better performance then you need to upgrade the CPU. If you wanna stop the freezing, I would either blame the motherboard or faulty memory. Try one stick at a time and see if it stops freezing.

June 1- August 8
We've arrived at the midpoint in HCPL's Summer Reading Program and we are taking a much-needed break for the Independence Day holiday. We will be back and raring to go on Monday. In the meantime, we are happy to present a Summer Reading adventure featuring some talented young people and staff from La Porte Community Library.
We also wanted to make sure you know that it's not too late to sign up for Summer Reading Fun! All you have to do is register and log your reading online. When you reach the goals for your age group, you will be automatically entered in drawings to win some very cool prizes. As an additional challenge, and In keeping with one of this summer's themes, "Reading is my Superpower," we have a special Hero's Quest for all ages. Complete the challenges on the game sheet and become eligible for even more prizes.
A magazine subscription looks great on paper, then the issues start piling up on your coffee table week after week until, in a fit of tidiness and guilt, you dump the whole lot, mostly unread, in the recycling bin. Sound familiar?
What if you could do away with paper entirely, but still get all the content of the print editions of your favorites, like People, Entertainment Weekly, Sports Illustrated, and Essence? What if it didn't cost you a cent?
Where would Alice be if she didn't stumble down the rabbit hole? Where would Bilbo be without his long walk to visit Smaug?

LSC - CyFair Branch Library and LSC - Tomball Community Library are closed Tuesday, June 16. As of this writing, all other HCPL branches will be open for regular business hours. Please monitor this site, our Twitter (@harriscountypl) or Facebook feeds for updates.
Harris County Public Library is gearing up for another busy summer of reading and fun, and with programs for babies, children, teens and adults, the whole family can participate. It all kicks off June 1 and runs through August 8. Our branches have plenty of entertaining and educational programs to spark the imagination, and there are cool incentives to help everyone stay motivated to read all summer long!
It's simple to participate, starting June 1, register online, then read and log your books or the amount of time you read. That's it. Everyone who completes the program will be automatically entered into one of several drawings. We will be giving away three Kindle Fires, and awesome, age-appropriate LEGO sets for babies and kids. Visit the Summer Reading page for full details.
All HCPL branches will resume normal Wednesday hours of operation. Please continue to monitor this site, HCPL on Facebook, or Twitter @harriscountypl should weather conditions worsen.
Again, we urge you to use your best judgment and due caution when deciding whether or not to venture out today. The worst of the weather seems to be over, but there are still unsafe conditions in some areas. Your safety is our primary concern.
NOTE: Due dates for materials will be adjusted to reflect Tuesday's closings.
Most of us take for granted that we can speak and be understood. That is a luxury many of your neighbors don't have. But with only a few hours a week and a willingness to help, you can change that: Become an ESL tutor at HCPL.
Our next free training session is Tuesday, May 26. 1:00 - 6:00 p.m. at Evelyn Meador Branch Library. No teaching experience is necessary.
This week, the Book Hunters want to celebrate the contributions to American culture made by people of Asian and Pacific Islander descent. And there are plenty. Consider this: were it not for Asian Americans, this land of capitalism with a capital "C" would have no tycoons. Then, consider this: our Marines wouldn't be gung ho. And this: we would have no cousins living out in the boondocks. And finally consider this: without the contributions of Asian Americans, we wouldn't even have that most American of vegetables: ketchup.
This Friday, May 8, for the first time ever, your HCPL library card will let you stream a new movie to your Apple or Android device on the same day it opens in theaters--courtesy of Hoopla, HCPL's streaming movie and music service.
That's right. The comedy, Welcome to Me, produced by Will Ferrell and starring Kristen Wiig, will open in theaters and on your smart phone, tablet, or home computer at the same time, and it is free! No $8 popcorn. No trek across the mall parking lot. You don't even have to silence your cell phone if you don't want to.
Many thanks go out to Cadette Girl Scout Troop #14318, of the Wildflowers Community, Girl Scouts of San Jacinto Council for their support of the Northwest Branch Library! Last Saturday, despite stormy weather and power outages at the library, they held a Storybook Run to raise money for a library garden and then stayed to plant the garden.

Andre Phillip and Susi Mai reveal the gritty side of kiteboarding in Cabarete, Dominican Republic.
The Chaos is Cabrinha's all new competition freestyle kite. It won't mow your lawn or leave you dangling. But if you are looking to get on the podium then this is your kite.
Inspired by Susi Mai. The Siren Series is the sweet option designed specifically for women.
Sometimes the littlest ideas can manifest into the biggest innovations. At Cabrinha we are all about little ideas and big innovations. Our product range has evolved year after year into a model of minimalist design. The innovations are so cleverly concealed inside ergonomic forms that you'd have to look closely to identify the numerous features that are seamlessly baked in.
Take our 2013 QuickLink Control system for example. We have taken the industry's leading control system and improved it yet again. We've done this without adding anything to the exterior. In fact we have even taken something away. The connection of the QuickLink is now much easier to reconnect thanks to a simple little innovation literally etched into the system.
We carry that minimalist philosophy right through our kite design process to deliver a Skeletal Frame construction that strategically places different weight materials into their optimum locations. This delivers a balanced, light weight and highly durable kite.
The Skeletal Frame technology is used in all of our kites including the all-new Chaos competition freestyle kite. The Chaos is a bridled C Kite designed for the core freestyle competitor with the sole intent of getting themselves on the podium.
Our entire range of twin tips has seen an 'across the board' upgrade in shapes and construction. We've built upon our foundation of solid rides and have added durable bases and rails to the mix.
The Surf range has been widened to provide more freedom of choice. Each and every surfboard design now comes in either our super durable Eco Cork + Bamboo sandwich construction or our light weight Signature series which is a pro level PU construction without footstraps.
At Cabrinha we strive to put the absolute best products in the hands of the rider no matter what their level is. From the touring pro to the first time rider, each Cabrinha customer gets our commitment that the product they are riding is made from the highest quality materials and construction techniques in the industry.
We are purveyors of innovation and inspiration. Our products are designed to deliver an experience as much as they are designed for a specific use.
Thanks for being part of the Cabrinha family. We'll see you on the water.
Pete Cabrinha

I'm planning a trip with a friend who's never been to Disney California Adventure before on Jan. 26th. I've been telling her how hilarious the Aladdin show at the Hyperion Theater in DCA is (Aladdin's her favorite Disney movie), but when we looked at the official calendar we saw that the show isn't scheduled after Jan. 20th. Does anyone know why this could be the case? Thanks!

Green Bay - What better way to celebrate the Green Bay Packers' Super Bowl victory than by shoveling snow?
Shortly after the Packers beat the Pittsburgh Steelers, the call went out Monday morning to fans to shovel out Lambeau Field. Though it's a good bet many of the Packers faithful were nursing hangovers, several hundred hearty souls were waiting outside the stadium at 8 a.m. to clear tons of snow in advance of Tuesday afternoon's Return to Titletown pep rally.
"The fans always come out. They're amazing," Todd Edlebeck, Lambeau Field facilities manager, said shortly before 10 a.m. "We couldn't do it without them."
Many were veteran Lambeau shovelers; others were rookies.
Mary Kay Bishop, 53, moved to Green Bay from Madison six months ago, had seen news reports of the Lambeau shovelers and wanted to be one someday.
"And what better time than after the Super Bowl?" she said.
Noting the thick coat of ice underneath the snow, Bishop offered a recommendation to anyone coming to Tuesday's welcome-home event.
"Tell people to bring something to sit on. But then I don't think many people will be sitting down," Bishop said.
Brandon Donart, 16, took the day off from school to shovel. Excited about the Super Bowl victory, Donart figured he'd also earn some extra money. The Packers pay shovelers $8 an hour and supply all the shovels.
"If I had to do it for free, I would," Donart admitted.
Edlebeck said about 375 people showed up. The work crew split into two and started at one end zone, moving in tandem around the stadium, scooping up snow, scraping it off the benches and pushing it toward long chutes that led down to the field where front end loaders pushed the snow into piles.
Dennis Becher, 61, of Combined Locks had thought about coming to Lambeau for shovel duty numerous times, but Monday was the first time he was able to do it. He hadn't decided whether he would come to Tuesday's event to enjoy the fruits of his labors, though he was leaning toward coming even though he figured it will be packed.
Becher planned to donate his earnings to charity.
Weston Wegener, 16, showed up with his friend Cody Walinski, 16, to spend the morning at Lambeau after the team issued the snow shovel summons late Sunday.
"My dad saw it on the news last night and said 'Get out there,'" Wegener said.
How will they spend their snow wages?
"We want to buy Super Bowl hats," Walinski said.

Sufjan Stevens enchants fans with silly sing-along 'Christmess'
Christmas is a messy holiday, piled high with associations both religious and secular, inextricably intertwined with misty family memories and hazy recollections of parties, bathed in forced cheer and genuine warmth.

Black Friday Cracked Ice Autograph Print Runs?
Hey All-
I recently went to the card shop and opened a Black Friday pack and pulled a Gronkowski Cracked Ice Autograph. Does anyone know what the stated print run of these are? Also, when would be a good time to sell? I assume when the one that is on eBay is currently over?
Also if anyone is interested- I can scan!
Thanks for the help!Currently Collecting Cards of Auburn Alumni in ALL Sports, preferably in their College Uniforms!

Canadian retires in final of CSC due to strained abdomen
Rybarikova takes tournament title
As the trainer checked over Rebecca Marino, the 20-year-old Canadian knew what the results would be.
That's why she burst into tears after dropping the first set to Magdalena Rybarikova, 6-2, in Saturday night's final of the Cellular South Cup. Marino, the tournament's No. 6 seed and playing in her first WTA Tour final, was forced to retire due to an abdominal strain that she suffered in her semifinal win over Evgeniya Rodina.
''Of course, I'm upset that I had to retire in the finals, but I felt it was something I had to do just because I didn't want to make the injury worse,'' she said. ''It's one of those injuries, if it does get much worse, it takes a long time to recover.''
Marino said she felt better when she woke up Saturday morning. It was noticeable during warmups and went downhill from there, making it hard for her to utilize her biggest weapon -- her powerful serve.
Marino had just two aces in the first set, one of those being a mere 86 mph. Earlier in the week, she posted 14 aces in a two-set victory, the most by any WTA Tour player in a match this season.
Rybarikova, herself playing with a wrapped left thigh, said she didn't noticed Marino's injury during the first set.
''I'm very sorry for her because the way she acted on the court (after the first set) I saw that something was not good,'' Rybarikova said.
Rybarikova's versatile game that featured deft slices and drop shots, is what propelled her to her second WTA Tour title, the other coming in 2009 at Birmingham, England, which helped her rise to No. 40 in the rankings.
Since then, she has plunged out of the top 100, but with a 9-3 start to the 2011 season and another title under her belt, Rybarikova is expected to be in the top 70 in next week's rankings.
''At the beginning of the season I said I wanted to be better than I was, like top 50,'' Rybarikova said. ''I think that it's great that I won this tournament, but my game is still not great. In practice I play much better, and I have to do that in matches.''

Ethernet has Alzheimer's
This is about the "dual NVIDIA Gigabit Ethernet" that's on the abit KN9 SLI motherboard. Running under Debian Etch 2.6.18-5-xen-amd64.
Summary: if the eth1 interface is not talked to for some period of time, it forgets the IP address that was assigned to it. It will only remember once a broadcast message is sent (such as an ARP lookup on that IP address). (eth0 is Firewire on this motherboard, we haven't tried with eth2)
Longer version: It was started by the following observation/problem. The box runs several XEN virtual machines. If XEN dom0 is not being talked to for some time (happens often, it is only used for XEN administration), it fails to respond to any and all network traffic that isn't originating on the local subnet. However, it does respond to local traffic, AFTER WHICH is responds to remote traffic as well and continues responding as long as it is being talked to continuously. Hours worth of packet-level debugging led to the observation that the ARP lookup wakes it back up from non-responsive mode.
The really funny thing about is that while all DOM0 and DOMU run over the same physical ethernet card, DOMUs that are active continue to work well, while the DOM0 goes silent. (And vice versa, any DOMU might go silent while DOM0 stays up) The Linux kernel never sees incoming packets. So the problem is somewhere between the card and the kernel.
Any ideas?

Miniature horses: Farm owners expect foal play
Gardentown gets addition to little herd
No cigars were passed out, but there was plenty to smile about earlier this month when a new foal was born into the small family of miniature horses that reside at Smith's Gardentown Farms.
Two years after adopting four neglected and abused miniature horses from the humane society, employees and management at Smith's were surprised to drive into work the morning of Sept. 14 to see a tan and white newborn feeding from his mother.
The population now stands at three mares, a stud, one female newborn and two miniature donkeys.
Why donkeys?
"The donkeys do a good job of protecting the horses against coyotes, dogs or other potential predators," said Katherine Smith, a member of the family ownership at the garden center. "It's in their nature to serve and protect."
Miniature horses are a species all their own. A yearling is typically smaller than a large Labrador retriever, and the average adult miniature horse is no more than two to three feet tall and weighs less than 100 pounds.
Beyond that, they are not unlike full-sized horses. They trot, gallop, snooze in the shade and eat apple-flavored treats from the hands of children.
"We keep treats on hand where kids and their parents can go feed and take pictures of the horses and donkeys," Smith said. "I can't estimate how many kids and adults take time from shopping for plants to go see the horses. It's a pretty neat family thing, and that's what we intended it to be."
The little horses endure. During a blizzard in 2009, Steve Smith, who had been stranded on a highway near Henrietta, made his way to the Gardentown Farms on Christmas morning to check on the livestock.
"He wanted to get water to the horses and donkeys, but the bucket he carried on the back of our old golf cart had a hole in it, and he got the cart stuck in the snow," Katherine said, laughing. "Eventually, he got it done, and the horses and donkeys seemed content, sheltered away from the main thrust of the storm. It's a good Christmas memory for him, and for us all."
Two summers ago, Curtis Smith, the original owner of Smith's Gardentown, was watching the news and saw a story about 30 miniature horses that had been rescued by the humane society from an abusive situation.
He called his sons and daughter who now operate Smith's Garden Farms and encouraged them to look into making an adoption.
"Our dad always envisioned this being more than a garden center," Smith said. "He was always looking for ways to make this a family experience. So, adopting these horses was a good step in that direction. Plus, we were able to give homes to some wonderful animals."
Where the "horse farm" goes from now is an open-ended question.
The Smiths believe moving forward is not a bad option.

Very good greek food, light and tasty. Meat is much better than fish, gyro was great. Waiters are kind and the place is clean. Good location too. Recommended
Loved my Mousakka and the desserts... The grills shared by my companion were demolished quickly and the service was very good.
This has a nice location in the old town and friendly staff who provided an English menu on request. Price wise it wasn't budget (65E for 2) but ok value for money. The food was very tasty - the Gyros (best value item on the menu, the other meats are quite expensive) had lovely flavours, especially rosemary. Service was relaxed...
It was quite late in the evening (10:30 p.m.) but the restaurant was still pretty crowded. We asked if it was possible to eat and they soon prepared a new table for us. We had great Greek food and great service, and owner and waiters were very polite. The restaurant is modern but very nice interiors recalling Greece. Price lower...
My favorite restaurant in Landsberg was even better during the Ruethenfest, which is held every four years with 1200 children acting in town. The food was good as always and the service perfect even after the main program with 50 guest entering the restaurant and patty in one moment.

Hi, I'm making my first texture! But I have a problem. I saw this file: http://3docean.net/item/grass-lawn-hires-texture-01/90535 And I notice that the texture has 3 things Color Map, Bump Map and Specular. So, how can I do Specular in Photoshop? And where do I have to put it if I'm using C4D ?
Thanks, and sorry for my english.

Learn both They are both awesome pieces of software, and you can use them together to create you work.
Maya is 3D software made for modeling, animating, rendering etc.
Zbrush is software primarily made for digital sculpting, it simulates work with clay/wax.In my case, instead of Maya, I use Cinema4D with Zbrush. Cinema4D for basic modeling and render, and Zbrush for sculpting details and stuff.
Ok Thanks! I have knowledge on C4D . And One more thing. What's the difference between Maya and 3Ds Max? They are of the same company
What is the difference between modeling something in maya or something in zbrush? I want to learn one, and zbrush seems very cool.

It's interesting that this should be brought up because I've heard in the past year or so various articles questioning whether console's are dead due to the ever growing app games industry. It is nonsense.
Yes, consoles are more viable for the masses due to the fact that there is not a concern about system requirements and paying large sums of money for upgrades until the next console generation.
As for MMO's, well yes they are naturally best on PC. However, MMO's can be possibly even more system orientated than the offline games, and these MMO's are subject to change and their system requirements can change because of it.
I don't think there will be a mass migration of MMO's to console anytime soon but if FFXIV is a success on PS3, where both PS3 and PC users share the same servers (unlike DCUO) then we may well see more developer interest in bringing MMO's to consoles. Because after all, if everybody's systems run the same and have the same requirements then you're going to attract a larger audience for your game.

Why is Speed Racer rated PG?
Official MPAA Rating: Speed Racer is rated PG for for sequences of action, some violence and language.
From an early age, Speed Racer loves cars and struggles to keep his mind on his studies at school. On occasion, he is involved in schoolyard fights. However, the sport is not without it's risks. Cars frequently crash, start on fire or explode. Drivers are forced over embankments or off cliffs. Some use illegal devices to disable their opponents' cars. A young man drives aggressively when angry. Characters are shot, beaten, drugged, kicked in the groin and hit with a wrench. Others engage in hand-to-hand martial combat. A man has a gun held to his head. Cheating, bribery and threats are used. Women are shown in swimsuits and low cut dresses. Brief moments of mild sexual innuendo are included. A scene of surgery is shown along with some bloody injuries. Drinking and smoking take place at a party or in a gambling establishment. The script contains a scatological reference, some infrequent profanities and vulgarities.

text: Guide: Porting AOSP ROMs made simple, thanks to Mr. Highway Tony Simons 23 February, 2012 8 Comments Have you ever wondered how to port an Android Open Source Project (AOSP) ROM? If so, you'll be surprised to find out there's not a whole heckuva lot to the process. In fact, Mr.Highway from XDA is so confident that anyone who can read and follow directions can do it that he decided to put together this step-by-step guide which explains the process from start to finish. Keep in mind, if this sounds like something that's over your head, it might be best to pass on trying this. If you've got the cojones and you're not intimidated by using Android Kitchen and Notepad++, take a look at the steps below. Again, all credit goes to Mr.Highway, I did not devise this method, nor have I personally tested it. Step 1. Well find the rom you want to port over,duh. Step 2. Make sure you have the android kitchen and notepad++, on your computer an setup correctly. Step 3. Put the rom your porting in the original update folder(ya know the one for the kitchen….) Step 4. Setup a working folder, itll ask you the change the updater-script DON'T DO ANYTHING DO IT, leave it how it is! Step 5. Find another base rom for your phone, preferably cm7, do the same thing your did to your port. Fyi: hope you labeled each working folder. an dont delete the working folder you just created,select yes to move it Step 6. Copy the boot.img from the cm7 rom over to your port. Step 7. Find the build.prop in your port. Right click on it, select "edit with notepad++" Here's where you need to read everything as I put it, if you mess up, well that's not my problem . Step 8. Find the "ro.product.device" "ro.product.board" "ro.product.product". change those to your device. If you cant remember the exact name of your device,look at the cm7 build.prop for reference. When you done that save it. Step 9. Navigate to "META-INF\com\google\android" find the updater-script. Right click on it, edit with notepad++. (btw always use that program when editing stuff with android,soo much easier) Step 10. Edit the device, board an product to match your device. If one of them is missing, don't worry bout it. Then save it when your done. Step 11. Navigate to system/lib/hw. Do that on both your port an cm7 rom. Copy the sensor, lights an gps from cm7 over to your port. Optional: delete the ones from the original device. Step 12. Open the android kitchen back up again. Type 99 Then hit 1. Hit enter again Sign the rom You can either name the rom or not. Id suggest you so you don't get confused by any other files. If you followed this correctly, your rom should boot with no problem. If you get error 7 or 6, look below. If you get error 7 in recovery, you didn't edit your build.prop correctly. Go back an check it, find your mistake then, re-run it in the kitchen If you get error 6 in recovery,you need to check your updater-script, you probably didn't edit that correctly. Go find your mistake in it an fix it, then re-run it in the kitchen. If you'd like to try this out, make sure to stop by the original thread to join in the discussion. Now, get in that kitchen and bake me up some AOSP goodness for the HTC Amaze, preferably in the flavor of an Ice Cream Sandwich. Just don't burn down the house in the process, OK? Zepplin76 Thanks .. here goes making a Bionic port! http://www.comhack.com Josh Sabboth Great post, thanks a lot Tony!! http://androidspin.com Tony Simons Not a problem! Let me know if you cook something nice up! rash does this work with ics (desire)? thnkx Craigtut I'm pretty sure this won't work on the amaze 4g. All we have are the drivers for sense, not cm7. The biggest problem we have is connecting up our drivers. Olumide I would like to port jellybean to an ics device. is it possible with kitchen? or any other way? maurice no you cant port different android versions, can only build from source sourabh How can we do it then?

Quick Look: Oceanic
By Eric Pankoke on Sun, 05/03/2009
Oceanic is the second game that I've reviewed from Pastel Games, and unlike the first it does not appear to be a flash conversion. In a lot of ways it feels like it, though. I think there's a potentially fun game trapped in here somewhere, but as it stands right now Oceanic feels more like a proof of concept than a full fledged game.
