Boxee to update Box browser, release streaming app for iPad
updated 03:50 pm EDT, Mon March 21, 2011
Fate of desktop software remains unclear
Boxee has announced details surrounding an upcoming iPad app, along with an update to the software that runs on the company's set-top box. In a TechWebcast podcast, Boxee marketing VP Andrew Kippen confirmed earlier rumors that pointed to a new tablet app in the works. Although the company already offers a remote control app, the new utility, which is said to only work with the iPad 2, will allow users to stream content to a TV via AirPlay or view previews of items that are being watched by friends.
Kippen suggests v1.5 of the Box software will focus on browser enhancements, bringing faster launch times and page loads. Support for content coded in Flash, HTML5 or CSS3 is also said to be improved.
While Boxee continues to develop its Box software and companion apps, the company appears to be stalling on its desktop software. Kippen noted that the desktop updates are "on hold;" it remains unclear if the current beta, v0.9, will be dropped entirely or simply follow a delayed schedule. [via TechAU]

On London 2012 Paralympic Games opening day Australia's sailors have made a strong start to their campaign with all three crews inside their respective top fives.
Australia's Sonar crew - London 2012 Paralympic Sailing Regatta
Colin Harrison, Jonathan Harris and Stephen Churm have the outright lead in the Sonar class after two races while Daniel Fitzgibbon and Liesl Tesch are tied for first in the Skud 18 and Matt Bugg is fifth in the 2.4mR.
London 2012 is just the third international regatta that Harrison, Harris and Churm have competed in together but that didn't slow them down on Saturday, with the trio winning race one and finishing third in race two to lead the event overall.
The Australians are three points clear of their German and French opponents after two races in breeze between eight and 13 knots on Portland Harbour.
'The Sonar team put on a text book display of sailing in the first race, making a great start and then going on to lead all race to the finish,' said coach Grant Alderson. 'In the second race they thought they were over at the start and took the low risk decision to go back and start again.
'The guys fought hard and by the top mark were in third position and maintained that until the finish,' he said. 'It's all smiles onboard and the team is in good spirits but know that there is a long way to go.'
Skipper Harrison said the crew was enjoying racing on the biggest stage.
'The light to moderate breezes and a sunny day made for ideal conditions to play the shifts and sail fast,' said Harrison. 'Everyone is looking forward to continuing the racing tomorrow where hopefully more success will come.'
Daniel Fitzgibbon and Liesl Tesch are tied for the Skud 18 lead with Great Britain's Alexandra Rickham and Nikki Birrell after two races.
The Australian and British crews each had a win and a second with Fitzgibbon and Tesch taking the honours in race one before their British opponents got the edge in race two.
The opening race was incredibly close with Fitzgibbon and Tesch leading to the top mark and opening up a slight lead before Rickham and Birrell fought back, taking the lead late in the race.
Nothing separated the two crews, with the Australians rounding the top mark for the final time just three seconds behind the British, getting the edge on the final run to win by the same margin.
In race two the British led from start to finish, with Fitzgibbon and Tesch chasing hard all race but eventually finishing second.
'We had two good races today, finishing with a first and a second which leaves us tied for the overnight lead,' said Fitzgibbon 'We're happy with this result as we were concentrating on being conservative on the first day without making any major mistakes and executed this plan well.
'It's still early days and we're looking forward to continuing the fight tomorrow,' he said.
In the single person 2.4mR fleet Tasmanian sailor Matt Bugg ended his first day of Paralympic Games racing in fifth overall.
Bugg was eighth at the finish of race one, coming back from 10th on the final run before crossing the line fourth in race two.
The results leave Bugg fifth overall in the 16 boat fleet, five points off the silver medal position and a further four behind the leading British sailor.
'Today was a great day for yacht racing,' said Bugg. 'We had perfect wind, almost some sunshine and warm weather.
'I'm happy with my first day of racing, with an eighth and a fourth,' he said. 'I think I sailed well and was happy with my boat speed and most of my decisions and can't wait to get out there again tomorrow.'
Racing continues on Portland Harbour on Sunday with another two races for each fleet. The sailing competition at the London 2012 Paralympic Games continues until Thursday 6 September.

My guild just wiped to this boss for 4 hours today and no kill :(. Right from the beginning, we were consistently getting to the final phase, but as people above have mentioned, MCs right before F&V kept screwing us over. Sometimes we'd have 2 healers get MC'd. One healer cannot heal it alone. Two is barely enough, and that's if we have cds, which we don't always by the 3rd one.
I'm a resto druid, and I heal it with a disc priest and a holy paladin. We do 1st one: personal cds, healthstone, my tranq, 2nd: disc bubble, PI, and pally cds, 3rd: moonkin tranq, my incarnation + NV. If there were no MCs, we'd probably have killed it long ago, but something always goes wrong.
How are other people handling the MCs? Are you just CCing them for F&V so they don't attack you? Are you bursting them down before it? Are they getting healed up/into a bubble in time? We got him so close so many times; it just killed me to have to save it for next week :(.

I gave in and made one of those "how much do you know me" quizzes. It's on my myspace so go check it out, if you will.
ETA: That quiz is way too easy.

I think you can learn a lot about a person from looking at their Amazon wishlist. I really do. I was farking around and there's a link to the site's admins' wishlists. I was suprised to see that originator of Fark, Drew, had Talladega Nights on his list. That movie was SO bad. But at the same time, he had those neat new stemless wine glasses and Transformers, along with the biography of John Adams. Feel the odd disparity.
I feel like I have some rather uninteresting items on my list but that are nonetheless coveted. I like functionality above all else so some of my wants are strictly utilitarian. I mean, I have ink on there, for Pete's sake. (Hey, I know someone named Pete now so that sort of makes me feel funny about saying that) I don't know; maybe I just see my wishlist as being an actual help to people trying to buy gifts so I don't go putting outlandish things on there like this.
P.S. Why is that that Amazon tells me that people who bought that also bought this and this?
Yeah, you could say I am ready for the weekend. This has seemed like a very long week. And it's not over yet. Sigh. I've started the morning off on a good note though: I mailed a couple bills and prepared some food for work in the time that I normally lay back down in bed while Ash showers. I got into work, replied to all overnight email, peeled and ate 2 hard-boiled eggs and drank some green tea. I have the window open but it's not really anything out today – except maybe humid. The temps are still warmer but come the weekend, as I have mentioned, that's all going to change.
I am sore today and the key reason: the Nintendo Wii. The sports game it comes with has a great bowling game on it and I was sort of playing for, well, a good long while 2 nights ago. I had to keep getting higher and higher scores and I started getting into it. Soon, I found myself bowling like normal – like real life – so it's all those lunges that made my thighs ache and my lower back so sore. Plus, we climbed last night and I was working on this particularly long route. That is, until I re-injured my wrist. It doesn't hurt too much now or on a daily basis but put a stapler in my hand and I am useless. Movements like that are nigh impossible with this pain. I meant to pop a couple Aleve before heading out this morning but it slipped my mind. ::grumble grumble::
There are so many things I want to accomplish today that I fear there aren't enough hours in the day. I really need to clean out my car. It's gotten quite dirty and cluttered since the trip (and the rain – wet leaves and all) and I feel my new car deserves some loving care. The problem is that it's still rainy and my driveway is covered in a blanket of leaves, which irks me. I hate that they never go away – even if I blow them into the street, they eventually accumulate back into the side street gutter. Plus, I need to sweep and wash floors, do laundry, buy some Christmas decorations, and do a bit of grocery shopping. You know, it never ends.
I hope everyone enjoys their Thursday – just keep reminding yourself that the weekend is almost here.
Ahh work. How I do love you… when you keep me busy for hours. I just input the instructors for their classes. It's a tedious job but only has to be done three times a year so should I be complaining? Not really. It's almost 11, which means it will soon be 12 and I will take lunch. I need to hit the vet and the post office during my break and, hopefully, I can get that all done in a fairly quick manner. Sometimes I hate errands.
I can't tell if that Frappuccino made me awake or sluggish; at times I feel fine and others, like right this second, I feel like I want to take a nap. Maybe it's the danish that's bringing about the sleepiness. For lunch I ought to get something very healthy. Maybe a Tropical Smoothie wrap. Although, my sister ate one with chicken once and found a bone in it. I wouldn't believe it except that I was there and I saw it; how gross. I mean, I have found small bones in my tuna before but this was an all out bone. Any suggestions as to what's good at Tropical Smoothie?
ETA: I actually ended up at the Pitaria and I had a plain ol' basic gyro. it was quite yummy. I don't eat those, well, ever but they remind me of my childhood. On the weekends, when my mother was working, my father and I would run errands about town and he always stopped at this little place – the kind where you walk up to the window and order, eating around the side on a concrete bench and table – and ordered a gyro. (He liked to get into it and say YEE-rrroh). I don't think he eats them very often now but they'll always remind me of my father.
Not long now; only two hours. I'm feeling compelled to write so I'll probably set down here and try to pound something out. I need to focus more on my non-fiction. I may not have had any major trauma in my life but I know I have stories to tell.
This morning, I spent from about 7:45 until right now, making copies for students. usually, they do this on their own but the machine was acting up so I went ahead and did it. They appreciate it and it makes me feel productive so I really didn't mind at all. Although now, I am extremely thirsty and hungry, so I will go now to procure coffee and some sort of breakfast item.
I have about an hour before class so I'm wasting some time on the net. Things have calmed down a bit, now that I have solved the scheduling issues. Wow, did that ever freak me out. I don't like making relatively large mistakes but I do like solving them. I strive for excellence and that was a huge self disappointment.
On the agenda for this afternoon we have French at 3:30, go to Publix for taco fixins, go home, try to mow the backyard for it is truly a mess, and then, relax.
I think I will try this in the bath tonight. Yes, it will be oh-so nice.
ETA: Amandopondo is very nice! It is described as having a "lemony rosy scent" but it was more rose and not noxious or anything. I only used a quarter of the bar and it produced a lot of bubbles. I would reccomend this to those who don't want an overpowering stink in their bath and who also want to conserve bars for multiple uses.
Yeah, I'm not in the best mood today. Nor was I yesterday but I only had myself to blame. I messed up some stuff and had to break down, admit it was my fault, and then start repairing it. I have fixed all but one slight problem and on that, I am awaiting a reply email. So really, I ought not complain at all. But it made my night crappy. I got home at 6:30, which means I was away from home for and working almost every moment of those 11 hours. I got home and changed the bettas' water and did some laundry. Then I decided to take a bath (with Bathos from Lush!) Unfortunately, Ash got home and invited Wayne and Lance to come in and play the Wii. I was pretty good about not showing my annoyance when they didn't leave for over 2 hours. I was hungry and cranky and in no mood for guests. But by being passive and understanding, I got Ash to admit he should have asked if it was ok to have them there.
The day is getting cloudier by the moment and I fear colder too – or so it seems like one of those kinds of days. However, it appears it will be staying in the low 70's until about Friday when, after some rainstorms, our temps will plummet back down to the 30's at night, low 60's during the day, which is normal for December. Come Janurary and February, the highs may only reach low 50's, high 40's most days. Scarf weather, I call it.
I eagerly await the arrival of my boss so we can get all this garbage for Spring situated.
I have a bottle of water but I want a Dr. Pepper, dammit.
Can this day be over now?
An opening aside, just to get it out of the way: I'm getting a lot of hits but not a lot of comments. Do I update just to get comments? No, not really. But for the amount of blogs I do comment on, I get surprisingly little back. I guess I'll start being less selfish. This is a forum for me to write how I feel, not to solicit comments.
Anyway, the day has been busy and there's still more work to do. I have emailed all the TA's their Spring assignments but now I need to add them to the classes themselves. This is a long involved process of searching through names of all employees and saving in multiple windows; the system we have is not all that intuitive either. But I'm not *actually* complaining about this work – just talking my way through it.
In terms of my own writing, I have come to an impasse. On the one hand, I still have that gut feeling inside that urges me to tell a story, to put pen to paper. But when I actually get there – to the point of realization – nothing happens. This is also the case with sending stuff out to be published, which worries me a lot since I have come to the conclusion that I will apply for the PhD program here for Fall. There are a few aspects of it that turn me off: taking two foreign language exams, prelims, more lit classes than I ever want to take ever again. But all in all, I don't think I will ever become the writer I want to be if I don't do this. The deadlines alone make me sit my ass down and compose. Perhaps after another 5 years of schooling, I will have taught myself the power to set my own deadlines. All in all, you have to love what you do, right?
So wish me luck as I gather my meager collection of non-fiction and poetry and piece together something coherent.
I wanted to spend an entire entry talking about food, because I got a little, well, out of hand, I suppose, these past few days. Not in terms of unhealthy things, but in portion sizes. When we got into town on Wednesday evening, my mother threw together a lasagna. Hers is usually really tasty; not as good as my grandmother's (and no, we're not even remotely Italian) but it still hits the spot. I had a large piece, two chunks of french bread, and two glasses of wine, which is what put me over the top. And then, my sister decided we should get ice cream. I pretty much stuffed it in and fell asleep soon afterwards.
I enjoyed the mornings of this vacation. I woke early each day (I AM a morning person) and took the dogs out. Then my mom and I drank coffee and ate Publix breakfast bread. We read the newspaper and talked about various things before Ash, my father, or my sister emerged from their rooms. Well, except on Friday when my dad was out of town taking care of stuff with my grandfather's will/property/etc, and when my sister worked "Black Friday".
On Thursday, we stuffed ourselves with traditional Thanksgiving fare: a roast turkey (but just a breast) cooked on a bed of celery and carrots, candied yams with the little marashmallows, my mashed potatoes (which are really creamy) corn on the cob, green beans, sausage stuffing, cranberry relish (from Fresh Market) and yeast rolls. Everything was so good and I told myself not to eat so fast. But alas, I could not seem to eat slowly. Which disappoints me that I can't take the time to enjoy truly good cooking.
On Friday, while my father was still gone, the four of us went to this mexican place that had a strange name: Garibaldi's. One would think it was Italian with that name but no, it was traditional Mexican. The cheese sauce was made with white cheese (yumm), the chips were crispy and refills were prompt, and the rest was very good. I had Enchiladas verde, with green salsa on top, and the rice was… interesting. It had peas and green beans in it. Not what I am used to but it was quite good.
Saturday night, once my father got back into town, we went out to Macaroni Grill. I wanted to go because Ash hadn't been in years and we're about o have one open here. I quite liked mine: chicken breasts with a layer of portabello mushroom and then cheese, with a spinach orzo side. Ash had fettucini alfredo as usual but theirs is interesting in that it's very light; not too overbearing on the cheese or garlic.
Before leaving for home yesterday morning, we went up to Bob Evans, for alas, Tallahassee does not (yet) have one of these meccas of breakfast. Ash had pancakes, which, I can honestly say, I have never seen him eat. He ate them as a kid all the time but not since I have known him has he partaken. I had coffee and the biscuits with sausage gravy, plus home fries with a fried egg on top. Such a tasty way to begin the day. Somehow yesterday was my most unhealthy day of the entire trip. When we got home, Ash ordered Steak-out so I had a cheeseburger and a baked potato, but also, these little potato wedges. Later, after I had committed to staying in my pajamas, Ash convinced me to go to the grocery store – our fridge was empty – and we came home to eat a frozen pizza. Ugh. I bet I ate 100 grams of fat yesterday, I swear. So today, breakfast is a fruit cup. Lunch is a sandwich and a fruit cup, and dinner will probably be vegetables of some sort.
Vacations are nice and letting yourself go on eating is ok but eventually, your body would like you to get back to the routine.
Sometimes it's good to get back to work. If you have too much time away, you don't appreciate your vacations. This break was just long enough. I think one more day and my mom's habit of worrying about EVERYthing and her nagging at my sister would have pushed me over the edge. But with anything, if we had stayed longer and I had gotten used to it, then I would have learned to deal with her faults – just like I did my whole life. But enough about the bad; the good far outweighed it. I am very thankful for such a great family and we are truly blessed because we are able to spend time with each other.
And enough cheese; I have to get myself back into the swing of things. Work ought to be fairly busy this week. I have to register some students for online classes and then email the TA's their Spring teaching assignments. Unfortunately, I must do these individually – we have about 100 TA's with said assignments. Fun! But time-consuming, which is always a plus. Really, there's not much time left in the semester. My last day of work is the 22nd and we don't return until January 1st, 2007. Where has this year gone? I can't believe we've been in this house over a year, that Ash and I have been married over a year, that we've built a rock wall, gotten into mountain biking, bought a new car… it all goes by so quickly.
In other news, the Bears gave shit-eating-grin Tom Brady and the Pats a run for their money but in the end, Rex Grossman couldn't pull it off. What can you say? He is, afterall, a Gator. But their Defense and Brian Urlacher gave me a bunch of points in fantasy, so I was happy. Ohh Brian, I love you (said in my best Cartman voice).
I'm going to try to upload some photos to myphotoalbum – they'll be under the "various holidays" album and possibly some in the "nature" album, since we did go canoeing.
Happy Sunday night everyone. I wish you all a pleasant and prosperous Monday.

Hazard, Ky. (WYMT)- Kids with visual and hearing impairments got a chance for a fire truck demonstration, and a talk from a Kentucky State Trooper Thursday, among other activities.
"Many of these students may see this at school, but they don't fully understand or grasp certain things are happening the way they do," said Verna Howell of the Kentucky School for the Blind. "Either they can't hear all the instructions, or they can't see what they need to do."
One student came for more than the activities.
"I thought this would be a good opportunity to learn, learn how I could get into some colleges or something with my disability," said seventh-grader Jake Sparkman, who has trouble hearing low-pitched womens' voices.
He said without his hearing aids, he could only get by in school with "C" grades.
Kendra Elkins, whose son's eyes cannot move from side to side, said events like this help educate the public as well.
"People can be more educated on the visually and hearing impaired and can help kids do so much more," she said "There's so much more for them to do."
Organizers also hope to help first-responders in working with this population as well.
"Sometimes people aren't ignoring you," said Howell. "That they may not be able to hear you. They may not see you, and that we have to be more vigilant in all of our cultures and communities."

Something is rotten in the State of Denmark.
Or in this case, Rhode Island. Are we sure the paper list corresponds to the latest online list?
I double checked the paper list accompanying the cameras. Still, we should alert Mr. Nanian of my potential screw up. I am sure he will get the box by tomorrow or Monday. Perhaps he can put the list mystery to bed for us & send the camera on its way.

In this photo released by the Syrian official news agency SANA, Syrian President Bashar Assad, right, meets Russian deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov, left, in Damascus, Syria, Wednesday, Sept. 18, 2013. The Russian ITAR-Tass news agency on Wednesday quoted Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov as saying that Syria told Russian officials the material it handed over shows "rebels participating in the chemical attack" but that Russia has not yet drawn any conclusions. Syria has turned over materials to Russia which aim to show that a chemical weapons attack last month was carried out by rebels, a top Russian diplomat visiting Damascus and a Syrian official said Wednesday.
BEIRUT (AP) - International inspectors began destroying Syria's stockpile of chemical weapons and the machinery used to create it, a United Nations official said today, racing under a tight deadline aiming to eliminate President Bashar Assad's chemical weapons program within nine months.
The move kicks off the ambitious program, prompted by a chemical weapons attack in mid-August that killed hundreds of civilians on the outskirts of Damascus and brought a rare consensus at the U.N. Under a Security Council resolution in September, the first stage is to destroy Syria's capability to produce chemical weapons by Nov. 1.
He said that by the end of Sunday, a combination of both weapons and some production equipment would be put out of order.
"Today is the first day of the phase of destruction and disabling. Verification will also continue," said the U.N. official, who works alongside inspectors. He spoke on condition of anonymity because of the matters sensitivity. "The plan was that two types categories of materials would be destroyed: one is equipment for making (weapons) - filling and mixing equipment, some of it mobile, and some it static. The other is actual munitions," he said.
He could not confirm what specifically was destroyed, nor where the destruction took place.
"That is the plan - to do it today," he said.
An advance team of disarmament experts from the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons arrived in Syria earlier this month to set up the broader operation to dismantle and ultimately destroy the chemical program, believed to include some 1,000 tons of toxic agents. The U.N. Security Council resolution set the tightest timetable ever for the OPCW, to completely eliminate the program by mid-2014.
Their mission stems from a deadly Aug. 21 attack on opposition-held suburbs of Damascus in which the U.N. has determined the nerve agent sarin was used. Hundreds of people, including children were killed. The U.S. and Western allies accuse the Syrian government of being responsible. Damascus blames the rebels.
The Obama administration threatened to launch punitive missile strikes against Syria, prompting frantic diplomatic efforts to forestall an attack. Those efforts concluded with September's unanimous U.N. Security Council resolution endorsing the elimination of Syria's chemical weapons.
The inspection team's mission is further complicated because they have to operate even as Assad's military is battling rebels in the country's bloody civil war.
The conflict, which is rooted in what began as largely peaceful protests in March 2011, has laid waste to the countries' cities, shattered its economy and driven more than 2 million people to seek shelter abroad. The violence affects every corner of Syria, which has become a patchwork of rebel-held and regime-held territory.
In an interview in a state-run newspaper Sunday, Assad said the Syrian regime began producing chemical weapons in the 1980s to "fill the technical gap in the traditional weapons between Syria and Israel." He said production of chemical weapons was halted in the late 1990s, but provided no further information.

About Arthur Dobbs, Colonial Governor of North Carolina
Arthur Dobbs (2 April 1689 – 28 March 1765) was an Anglo-Irish politician with large landholdings in North Carolina who served as the colonial governor of the state from 1754 to 1765.
Early life and career
He was born the eldest son of Richard Dobbs of Carrickfergus, County Antrim, who had been Sheriff of Antrim in 1694. He was a neighbour and family friend of Jonathan Swift despite their political differences. He served briefly in a dragoon regiment in the Irish Army, and afterward managed his family estate.
He became an engineer and Surveyor-General of Ireland, supervising the construction of the Irish Parliament House in Dublin, as well as other Irish public buildings. He was appointed High Sheriff of Antrim in 1720 and in 1727 was elected Member of Parliament for Carrickfergus, a seat he held until 1760.
Whilst a member of the Irish Parliament, he purchased 400,000 acres (1,600 km2) in North Carolina in 1745 and encouraged settlement in the colony, especially by Irishmen. Following the death of North Carolina governor Gabriel Johnston, Dobbs was confirmed to succeed him on 25 January 1753. However, he did not arrive to assume his duties until October of the following year.
Governor of North Carolina
While governor of North Carolina, Dobbs sought unsuccessfully to establish a permanent capital, to be called George City, near Tower Hill and the Neuse River. Plans were drawn up for a Palladian governor's mansion similar to Tryon Palace, which Dobbs' successor, William Tryon, would erect 10 years later in New Bern. Dobbs' governorship was overshadowed by the French and Indian War and the start of the American Revolution. Shortly after his arrival, Dobbs visited the western frontiers of North Carolina, organised the construction of Fort Dobbs, and attempted to raise troops to fight in the French and Indian War. Dobbs moved to Brunswick Town, North Carolina in 1758 where he lived for the rest of his life. In 1759 and 1760, Governor and Assembly were often at odds. Debt, Indian affairs, public complaints about Lord Granville's agents and about Dobbs' failure to put down riots in Edgecombe County and elsewhere, and Dobbs' frequent vetoes of Assembly bills led to intense tensions. Dobbs even dissolved the Assembly in 1760 and ordered new elections, but this plan backfired; a secret committee drew up outlandish charges against the governor to be sent to the King. Only the succession of King George III, which brought additional powers to Dobbs, saved him from further conflict with the Assembly.
Other interests
Apart from his North Carolina interests, Dobbs was heavily involved in attempts to find a Northwest Passage in the Canadian Arctic during the 1740s. He actively worked to have the Hudson's Bay Company's trade monopoly revoked on the grounds that they showed little or no interest in promoting discovery expeditions relating to the Northwest Passage. Dobbs felt that others might finance exploration if they had some expectation of trade. Revoking the Hudson's Bay Company's trade monopoly was his solution for stimulating exploration. From 1741 to 1747, Dobbs managed to stimulate exploration, the result of which convinced most people that such a passage did not exist. A British Parliamentary inquiry in 1749 ended attempts to revoke the Hudson's Bay Company's charter. Dobbs' involvement in the Canadian Arctic exploration resulted in a substantial increase in geographical knowledge as well as increased awareness of the economic potential. Dobbs was also an amateur scientist and published several astronomy articles as well as a pamphlet on honeybees.
Private life
He had married in 1720 Anne, daughter and heir of Captain Osborne of Timahoe, County Kildare and the widow of Captain Norbury. They had three sons and a daughter.
In 1762, Dobbs, then seventy-three, married fifteen year old Justina Davis at St. Philip's Church in Brunswick. A few months later he suffered a stroke and was bound to a wheelchair. In the fall of 1763 he attended a conference of Southern governors and Indian tribes in Augusta, Georgia, which resulted in the Treaty of Augusta. In 1764 Dobbs look a leave of absence to return to England, and Tryon arrived as lieutenant-governor to fill his place. Dobbs later decided to retire and return to Ireland, but while packing, suffered a fatal seizure on 28 March 1765, just two weeks before he was to depart. He was buried at St. Philip's. Today no sign of his grave remains.
He was succeeded by his eldest son, Conway Richard Dobbs.
Arthur Dobbs, Colonial Governor of North Carolina's Timeline
Age 76

I ran yesterday.Without socks. I wasn't at my house and I had worn flip flops to where I had gone. The only socks available to me were my boyfriend's tube socks that, due to me being 5'3", basically come mid-thigh on me. I almost didn't run because of my lack of cotton foot wear. I almost didn't run because maybe I thought I needed a better excuse to not run other than it was kind of raining outside. Then I realized not having socks is an even worse excuse than the weather. So I put on my boyfriend's shorts and one of his tshirts. And I put on my farm shoes (tennis shoes that I have designated to wear when I work on the farm with the cows and pigs). And I wasn't wearing socks!
I thought this would be super uncomfortable, especially since it was raining. Luckily my teeny tiny 1 mile route was covered almost completely by trees, so my feet didn't really get wet at all. To my surprise, running without socks wasn't so bad. When given the choice, I will always choose to wear socks when running in tennis shoes, but at least now I won't dread my run if there are no socks in sight.
Does anyone run sockless regularly? And I don't mean you barefoot runners or the ones with Vibram Five Fingers. I'm talking about hardcore sockless running shoe running.
Misery has enough company. Dare to be happy.
Nope, I need socks when I run.
I need socks too. I'm sure this is more common than we realize, but its not for me. Yep..be happy!
Most limitations are self made.
You ran in tennis shoes?
I've got to have socks on my feet. I'm glad you got out there for a run.
Life's a little better when we run.
I admire your dedication.
Running without socks make your shoes and your feet stinkier. I wouldn't make a habit out of it!
I tried running without socks but I got blisters. Now I wear really thin socks.
- Emma (formerly MJ --- it's a long story)
"Anything that gets your blood racing is probably worth doing" - Hunter S. Thompson
i cant imagine running without socks I always wear them.
26.2 seems like a long way unless you are chasing down a dream!
Always have socks on .... can't imagine the blisters I would get without them. Great for you though!
I do triathlons and I always see a lot of triathletes going sockless in the transitions to save time. Nooo wayyy. I'd rather have a minute slower time and be comfy.
Ok, I'll give it a shot tomorrow--never know until you try.
I think I did once a long time ago. Before socks were invented.
Attitude is everything
I never wear socks!
Just DUKE it!®
I am impressed that you showed that kind of dedication to running. Socks always for me.
Run on everyone.....................Steve
I like your thinking... Just shows you,, nothing will stop you.. You would of gone barefoot if you remembered your socks and forgot your shoes
No socks would derail me. Not you apparently. Awesome.
No can't run without socks.
Rock on and keep on running.
Rock on and keep on running.....
I just ran with out socks for the first time today by accident because I forgot my socks at home. Same situation, I almost didn't run. But I did anyways and was pleasantly surprised. I actually like it better. I felt more stable, like I could feel the ground better. Not a big fan on stinky feet and shoes so I don't know if it'll be a thing, but at least now it won't be a deterrent.
I keep socks in my running shoes so I won't be without...
I usually don't wear socks with regular shoes in the summer. My skin has changed over past couple of years, and I wouldn't think to run without sock . I would have blisters all over the place.
I usually wear socks but if I forget them, I Glide my feet to avoid blisters.
Now, like you went away and did not bring along your emergency, "I Need To Go Running Now" running bag?
Not wearing socks is just the final outcome of poor planing on your part.
Shame on you!
Next time you will know better.
"I may not be handsome, but I am loved."
ran sockless for a decade or so, but then I got a girlfriend who told me, either your running shoes go or I do..
so I switched ;-)
still do all triathlons sockless, just need to make sure the shoes don't have any prominent seams/ridges etc. A dusting of talcum powder before each race helps prevent friction, also seems to keep the stink down.

Lately I have been thinking about some of my latest work;mainly I have focused on an one day work shop with one of my colleagues, Amir, who is a SharePoint PFE.
Now I'd like to share with you some of the SQL Best Practices for SharePoint.
In this post, we will talk about MAXDOP and why MAXDOP in SharePoint needs to be =1.
When a query is executed in parallel, certainly, you'll findthat one of the threads ends before the other and has to wait for anotherthread to do its work. In applications with short and fast transactions, thisis fine. In applications of large amounts of transactions, with a lot ofqueries executed in parallel (i.e. the case of SharePoint), this can lead to areduction in performance, since threads that need to do the actual work, haveto wait for other threads to be finished.
How MAXDOP works?
If your SQL serves onlySharePoint, you will need to change the MAXDOP option of the SQL Instance toMAXDOP=1. The default value of MAXDOP is 0, which means that SQL will use allits cores for parallelism. When MAXDOP=0, it can cause contentions and queries tohang. In this case, the value should be changed to 1.
How to configure the MAXDOP
EXEC sp_configure 'show advanced options', 1;RECONFIGURE WITH OVERRIDE;GO
EXEC sp_configure 'max degree of parallelism', 1;RECONFIGURE WITH OVERRIDE;GO
EXEC sp_configure;GO
I will test it, thank you ! looks great..

One of the unstated goals of the book has been to supply the reader with a simple and inexpensive method to measure vAg. This is critical in double run emulsions, in order to know where you are in the grand scheme of things making a particular crystal.
I have been working on this for nearly a year now, and have been able to make my first measurement of vAg today. If things work out, then I have made a major step forward for the craft of emulsion making, and I can reduce it to about 3 simple parts for the experimenter.
Right now, I have a breadboard with pieces all over the benchtop, and the readings are erratic, but the general error with 1 M NaBr is on the order of 6 millivolts which is not bad for the first "real" setup. The error becomes larger with greater dilution. That is what I face right now.
I would like to thank Kirk Keyes, Jim Browning and Bud Wilson for help and support in this. Without their expert opinions and help, this preliminary result would not have been possible.
Give me some time to think on the problems and get feedback and I'll try to get better results.

When you drive a light truck and need to head off the beaten path from time to time, you need a tire that will withstand what the trails throw your way. The Cooper Discoverer STT is Cooper's premium off road tire for light truck, SUV, Jeep and off-road vehicle use. These tires are versatile and are made for a variety of applications. The Discoverer STT is perfect for your personal truck or SUV, but are made to withstand commercial use as well.
As with every Cooper tire, this tire is made with long-lasting materials and the best manufacturing processes. The Cooper Discoverer STT tire is also made with Cooper's patented ArmorTek3 construction process. Cooper makes each of these tires with two radial polyester body plies and one angled polyester body ply. This gives the tire three heavy-duty plies to protect from punctures and other damage. The tread also extends further down the sidewall to increase traction and grip in those off-road situations where you need a little extra hold.
Cooper tires consistently receive high safety ratings, and the Discoverer STT is no exception. This tire is great on pavement, off-road and in inclement weather. The Discoverer STT is made to get the best traction no matter the surface. No matter if you are on dry pavement, a slick, wet trail or a field full of mud, you can count on the Discoverer STT to take you where you need to go.
The Cooper Discoverer STT also performs well. This tire helps increase the performance of your vehicle without adding a lot of extra and unnecessary road noise. Many off-road tires are loud and can deter truck owners from wanting to go on road trips or spend many miles on the roads in their trucks. The Discoverer STT is quieter than the competition, so you get the performance without the headache. Best of all, you won't see a drastic reduction in fuel economy like you might from similar off-road tires from other brands.
When you choose a tire, you also want to find a tire that looks great and complements the look of your vehicle. The Cooper Discoverer STT gives your truck an aggressive stance that lets everyone know you mean business. The Cooper Discoverer STT is economically-priced, so you get a great tire without breaking the budget. This tire is offered in a wide variety of sizes to fit almost every vehicle. This is one of the most versatile off-road tires, and one of the most popular.

December 1, 2015
AUBURN, Ala. – November 30, 2013 – Sports legend Bo Jackson announced to a packed Iron Bowl crowd today at Jordan-Hare Stadium his plans to bring the third annual Bo Bikes Bama charity bike ride to Auburn. The event, which raises money for the Governor's Emergency Relief Fund (GERF), will take place on A-Day, which is scheduled for Saturday, April 19th.
"Each year, I've seen Bo Bikes Bama participants set aside their team loyalties and come together to help our state," Jackson said. "It's not about Roll Tide or War Eagle, it's about supporting our fellow Alabamians. I'm so grateful to Auburn University for their invitation to host the 2014 ride and for the opportunity to address fans of both sides today."
Jackson started Bo Bikes Bama as a five-day ride across the state on the first anniversary of the deadly April 27, 2011 storms. Since the inception of the ride, Bo Bikes Bama has raised over half a million dollars for GERF, which has helped rebuild hundreds of homes and provide community storm shelters throughout the state.
The inaugural ride started in Henagar, passed through many of the state's most devastated areas, and ended in Tuscaloosa. Last year's event was a one-day ride that took place in the Walker County town of Cordova.
Tax-deductible donations can be made online at BoBikesBama.com. Those interested in participating can also register for email updates about the event and registration for the ride, which will open in February. Donations in the amount of $10 can also be made by texting "BOBIKES" to 50555 (standard text message rates apply).

Why put rescuers in harms way? Those people refused to follow a mandatory evacuation. They should be left to their own devices.
but what about the children who just have to stay because their parents refuse to leave? don't they deserve a chance?
Selfish people. They weren't too worried about the safety of their kids and their pets when they were told to leave. Now other good people have to risk their lives to save them. And I am sure they will lawyer up against the State of New Jersey when they are not able to be rescued when they want to be.
I have always felt, when you make a stupid choice not to follow evac orders - then you must pay the price. Same thing happened in New Orleans during Katrina. Then folks scream for help. The rescue teams have families they want to be with, so they should not have to risk their lives.
AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME!!! Stupid people who don't listen and who rely on the government to swoop in to rescue them! You make decisions, you live with them!
If they stayed through a mandatory evacutation they should have to PAY for any expenses to rescue them.
And anyone who didnt evacuate with Children or PEts should be charged with endangerment and animal cruelty.
I'll bet you that now CONSERVATIVE New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie will demand that the Federal government step in and rescue his state's citizens. Tough! Rely on yourself like all these Republican failures tell the rest of us to do.
Are these stupid people predominantly democrats? I mean they are utterly irresponsible. Hmmm, not only they will lose should something bad happens, so does Obama lol!
Brickell, you're Unbelievable, involving politics in a calamities like this is absurd!, you people are most irritating than these stubborn people who don't evacuate. Regardless of the governor's political party when it comes to disaster, gov't have to send aid. Pray instead maybe not for others but for your own safety ay least.
we need more info on brigantine island including pictures during this hurricane
Unfortunately, no attempts to rescue these people should be made by the First Responders until the water recedes and it is absolutely safe for them to go. Those who ignore the mandatory evacuation orders assume all the risk themselves and should not expect others to put themselves in jeopardy. I would like to see future evacuation orders add the suggestion that those who decide to ignore the mandate write their SS #s on their forearms with indelible ink for identification purposes. I know that sounds cold and uncaring but situations such as these reach a point where self-responsibility comes into play.

We look back to last year and are thankful for many things: God, family, friends and all that we have been entrusted to manage. We are thankful that there are those that find value in supporting local farms and the natural way of raising beef.
From our family, we hope that this season lends you as much love, happiness and hope that we have each day. We are thankful for our customers and cherish their values as much as they claim to cherish finding us. God bless.

Both are viewing the data and now both press edit button. The data is displayed to them and both press update after making some changes. The person who pressed last , only his data would be updated in the system. To avoid this we can't lock the row when person is editing,as in web situation we never know when he would press update. How can we manage this in web applications? Thanks Vinay

Read the this article about a student getting expelled for tweeting profanity.
Here's another article about a man sentenced to jail for making racist tweets.
A wikipedia article on the First Amendment.
Here's an excellent pamphlet on connecting quotes to your claims.
Your task is to write a three paragraph essay describing how you feel about the school's reaction to the student's tweet. Do you feel it was justified? Why or why not?
You must use at least one quote per paragraph for a total of three quotes.
The fact that the school was "aggressively monitoring social networking activity" demonstrates that they have little concern for students' privacy.

Ian Bucci presents to his classmates from the point of view of the United States government during the peacemaking simulation in Moorestown Friends Meeting House.
- Filed Under
Ninth-graders at Moorestown Friends School recently simulated an international discussion on Syria as part of their history curriculum.
The students represented one of 12 groups involved in the current Syrian crisis, presenting possible solutions to the conflict and discussing potential paths to peace. The event was held at the Friends Meeting House.
Students spent three weeks preparing for the simulation, researching the history of Syria and other nations involved in the conflict. Because some of the factions were difficult to research, students were encouraged to delve deeply into articles and books and to think critically about the biases of their sources.
After presenting their stances, the 12 groups worked together to create a peaceful resolution to the crisis. The factions called for current President Bashar al-Assad to step down and laid the framework for a more democratic government in Syria.

Your analogy with Spain and Gibraltar doesn't relate to the situation of Ft. Sumter. I don't think that we would disagree that Ft. Sumter is in South Carolina. So- whose territory does Ft. Sumter sit on? Either South Carolina is part of the United States, or it isn't.
In 1861, the natives there would have told you that it wasn't. So, what were they to do about a foreign installation preventing them from running their harbor as they wished to?
If "your house" turns out to be on your neighbor's property, you have no right to keep it there. You must either move it or abandon it. He might compensate you for your expenses, or he might not. If he was kind, he might give you some time to decide what to do and how to do it. He might even decide for a time not to cut off your food supplies.
Your neighbor wouldn't be at all pleased if you tried to run in reinforcements and provisions so that you could maintain your position there, and shoot at him if you chose to.
I am sympathetic to the plight of Jefferson Davis, but he did some boneheaded things. I don't think that he was Lincoln's equal as a politician. I think that Lincoln did outmaneuver the Confederates.
Anderson was holding out but informed the Confederates that he would leave on 15 April- UNLESS he was resupplied. Beauregard had been instructed not to allow the fort to be resupplied. When Mr. Lincoln informed Governor Pickens that he intended to resupply the fort, he played right into the worst fears of the Confederates. They decided, wrongly in my view, that they could not wait until 15 April.
My natural inclination is to try to put you in the position of the Confederates in Charleston, and ask you how you would have accomplished the removal of the federal forces at Ft. Sumter. But I fear that would be a waste of time, since you seem incapable of seeing the situation from their side.
In fact, this whole discussion is a waste of time, since we have already agreed that the war was inevitable regardless of what was done in Charleston harbor.

On Jan. 18, Univision's star anchor, Jorge Ramos, arrived at the U.S. Supreme Court for a high-profile interview with special appeal to his massive audience. Ramos, by far the most recognized and respected face of Spanish-language news in the United States, greeted Associate Justice Sonia Sotomayor, the self-styled "Wise Latina" who'd made history as the first Hispanic on the court.
Before the cameras rolled, though, Sotomayor - who was born into a Puerto Rican family in the Bronx - requested a small favor. "She asked me, 'If I have a problem with my Spanish, please help me with my ...

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Look out, Alec Baldwin.
RELATED: Star Slipups: Forgiven & Forgotten?
Edward Norton, Jonah Hill, Snoop Dogg and several other stars are slated to play in a celebrity tournament of the popular online game "Words With Friends" for charity. The celebs will begin facing off against each other in matches of Zynga's Scrabble-like word-building game on Sept. 27.
Norton, who is playing for the Maasai Wilderness Conservation Fund, is confident that he will dominate the tournament, which also includes such celebrity players as Eva Longoria, Kristen Bell and John Legend — but not Baldwin — vying for $500,000 in prize money for their charities from American Express.
"I have to give myself time-outs on 'Words With Friends,'" said Norton in a telephone interview Monday. "I've gone through phases where I'm like, 'What am I doing? This is much too much of my day.'"
"Words With Friends" players will be able to join their favorite stars' teams during the "Words With Friends Celebrity Challenge," as well as watch the celebrity matchups online and donate to their charities through Norton's fundraising site, CrowdRise.com.
RELATED: Celebrity Quirks and Phobias
"We had the idea to do a celebrity tournament some time ago when it became apparent that the game was a hit among celebrities," said Travis Boatman, senior vice president of mobile at Zynga Inc. "It seems like everyone from Katie Couric to Snoop Lion is into the game. It's really inspirational for the team to see how 'Words With Friends' has become part of the cultural mainstream, and I think it has struck a chord because it's not just a game; it's a way for people to connect and keep in touch with each other."
In the first round, Norton said he'll face Boston Celtics captain Paul "The Truth" Pierce, who is playing for his foundation, The Truth Fund.
"I think it's going to be a tough first round for him," teased Norton. "I think it's great that he has a cause he supports, and I hope the amount he gets from just the first round is going to make him happy because I don't think it's going to go past there."
The brainy "Moonrise Kingdom" and "The Bourne Legacy" actor, who graduated from Yale University with a history degree, said his stiffest competition might come from Snoop Dogg, who has recently been going by the name Snoop Lion, because of the rapper's experience with wordplay.
And what about Baldwin? Why isn't the "30 Rock" actor, who was booted from a flight last year for refusing to stop playing "Words With Friends" on his phone, among the contenders?
"Next year, for sure, if I have any say in it," said Norton. "I'm going to win this year, so adding him to the mix next year will make it interesting for me."

Kuala Lampur to Pattani, Thailand
Joined Travelfish
24th November, 2011
Posts: 1
Hello everyone! I'm planning a trip to south east Asia to visit friends in January. I plan on visiting my friends in Pattani (southern Thailand) before continuing on to Malaysia and Singapore (or in reverse).
Flights seem to be cheapest through airasia however, flying into Phuket is alot more expensive than flying into Kuala Lampur. So I thought I'd start there, travel up into Thailand and then back into Malaysia. Has anyone traveled from Malaysia to Pattani? Can you recommend a route? Is it relatively safe (I've heard that the southern part of Thailand has the occasional uprising). My friends are Malay Thai so while I am asking for their guidance on how to get there their experiences are going to be different from mine (I'm from the US).
Also, does anyone have any must-sees in the Pattani area or surrounding provinces? I'll be in Thailand for a few days before returning to Malaysia for a couple of days and then I plan on continuing onto Singapore (I'm open to suggestions for those countries as well). My interests are more towards cultural heritage sites, temples, markets and seeing how people live as opposed to diving with sharks, holding baby tigers, etc. My trip will coincide with the lunar New Year and I'm not sure if there's one area that would be more interesting in which to celebrate the new year in comparison to others.
At the moment I'm only looking for suggestions for southern Thailand - central and northern Thailand will be a different trip (I live in Korea).
Thank you so much!

The best way to get from Malaysia to Pattani is to go via Hat Yai . You can get a train there from KL or take an overnight bus. From the Hat Yai bus station it is very easy to get a bus to Pattani.

Alternatively In Malaysia either take the jungle railway to Wakaf Baru (or Tumpat)and then catch locl bus to the border at Kampung Telaga Lanos (30 mins) and at Tak Bai catch the songthaew to narathiwat (ask for the bus station)and get bus up to patani or go up the coast using buses and catch bus from kota Baru to Kampung Telaga Lanos

Hi fishers
just back from Hanoir and around, here are my thoughts on a couple of places I stayed at.
Ocean Stars 2 Hotel, Hanoi
Dao Duy Tu Lane
Room: Its quite new, so the rooms are clean, comfortable and not weathered. There's airconditioning, a little cupboard and even a fridge and tv, if that does it for you. Nothing flash, but more than comfortable.
Location: Its on a side street (Dao Duy Tu Lane, just off main Dao Duy Tu), so it mostly quiet. The rooms facing the back are totally peaceful, while the ones facing the alley can occasionally be a bit noisy (kids, the odd bike). But compared the noise on the main streets of the Old Quarter, this was nothing at all. It's a two minute walk from the so called Bia Hoi junction, and an easy walk to pretty much anywhere in the Old Quarter. Though that's probably true of a lot of places there.
Misc: We did not book any tours with them (Jimmy is the guy here). That wasn't a problem per se, nor any screw ups, but he seemed a fair bit miffed by it. Got a bit moody with us after that, which was inconsequential but a bit irritating. but we got them to get us our train tickets to and from Sapa. The train tickets were from a different company than the one he said he's getting- not much of a bother, but worth a mention.
