Notes on important changes to the Linux Beta and Linux Games.
Posted by lodle on Oct 20th, 2011
So the *first* major change affecting the Linux client is here, and it concerns how we handle a games dependencies. The old method had each library included with the content, which as you can imagine is problematic when a library is missing. It also causes conflicts when the same library is already on the system.
The new method allows easy selection of libraries from the administration panel and the client handles these in a much smarter manner. It first scans your system to make sure that you don't already have the library and if its missing it downloads and sets the library up for the game.
This new method also allows better handling of dependences like Java, Mono and Air which comes with a improved prompt that offers help if they are missing.
Another feature that was requested was the ability to set a different binary to launch games via and this has now been added to settings along with an option to add global launch arguments.
The issue with forms not being tall enough to press the buttons should be fixed along with Desura not saving relative paths so you are free to move Desura around where ever you please.
Due to the massive changes in the way games work some games might not work correctly as we are still in the process of testing them all and as always please report bugs on the forums. This change will also mean you are prompted to restart the client after the next auto-update.
After this update the client will run once and then not run at all after with no error message in terminal :/
Have you tried deleting the client and the directories and installing it fresh again? Give that a try and let us know how it goes.
I figured it out, having a setting in the global argument bit stops Desura loading up for me.
I see you found my forum post :P
Great work friends, keep that way!
Missing library window should tell that it will install its own version of library if continue installation and that user has a choice to go and install it for the system and then rerun game's install in desura.
Where is the administration pannel with libraries? I can't seem to find it.
Its under regions and branches
I was looking to managed installed libraries in the client.. now I think it is only a feature for game developers, am I right?
Thanks for the cool Linux support !
Although all games seem to work here, I have 2 issues with the client :
- it frequently happens that a game download doesn't work (it stops at "retrieving information" or similar). If I click on "cancel" the client crashes. Then, the subsequent downloads of the same title won't work UNLESS I remove the game directory in desura/common.
- I cannot buy anything from withing the client, it displays something like "Load Failed" "Load of URL Secure.desura.com failed with error code -9."
Apart from that, great work :-)
I'm totally in awe. Desura is running great on my Fedora computer. I activated all my HIBs, added the games I have installed on my hard drive, bought a game and will likely buy more very soon.
Desura developing and this is great! The following releases are waiting for a system of achievements and steam-like layout program.
Amazing work guys! Keep it up! You and the humble indie bundle actually got me back into games.
If I have Desura on both a Linux machine and also on my Windows desktop, will I be able to dowload and play the compatible versions for both, or will it switch and only keep the last compatible version?
Linux r1j1k-X51R 3.0.0-14-generic #23-Ubuntu SMP Mon Nov 21 20:34:47 UTC 2011 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
on Asus X51R notebook runs Desura and several games from Humble Bundle flawlesly!
Great job THANKS!

ABSTRACT: This study investigated the discriminatory features of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and severe non-SARS community-acquired viral respiratory infection (requiring hospitalization) in an emergency department in Hong Kong. In a case-control study, clinical, laboratory and radiological data from 322 patients with laboratory-confirmed SARS from the 2003 SARS outbreak were compared with the data of 253 non-SARS adult patients with confirmed viral respiratory tract infection from 2004 in order to identify discriminatory features. Among the non-SARS patients, 235 (93%) were diagnosed as having influenza infections (primarily H3N2 subtype) and 77 (30%) had radiological evidence of pneumonia. In the early phase of the illness and after adjusting for baseline characteristics, SARS patients were less likely to have lower respiratory symptoms (e.g. sputum production, shortness of breath, chest pain) and more likely to have myalgia (p < 0.001). SARS patients had lower mean leukocyte and neutrophil counts (p < 0.0001) and more commonly had "ground-glass" radiological changes with no pleural effusion. Despite having a younger average age, SARS patients had a more aggressive respiratory course requiring admission to the ICU and a higher mortality rate. The area under the receiver operator characteristic curve for predicting SARS when all variables were considered was 0.983. Using a cutoff score of >99, the sensitivity was 89.1% (95%CI 82.0-94.0) and the specificity was 98.0% (95%CI 95.4-99.3). The area under the receiver operator characteristic curve for predicting SARS when all variables except radiological change were considered was 0.933. Using a cutoff score of >8, the sensitivity was 80.7% (95%CI 72.4-87.3) and the specificity was 94.5% (95%CI 90.9-96.9). Certain clinical manifestations and laboratory changes may help to distinguish SARS from other influenza-like illnesses. Scoring systems may help identify patients who should receive more specific tests for influenza or SARS.European Journal of Clinical Microbiology 02/2007; 26(2):121-9.

ABSTRACT: The purpose of the study was to evaluate the use of chest radiography for the screening of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS). We retrospectively analyzed all patients who attended an Emergency Department SARS screening clinic during the outbreak in Hong Kong, from March 10 to June 5, 2003. Patients with clinical and epidemiologic suspicion of SARS were evaluated by serial chest radiography. All radiographs were reported by consensus from 2 radiologists, blinded to the clinical records. The prevalence of SARS was 13.3% among 1328 patients included. The initial radiograph had sensitivity 50.3%, specificity 95.0%, positive likelihood ratio 10.06, negative likelihood ratio 0.52, positive predictive value 61.5%, and negative predictive value 92.3% for diagnosing SARS. Serial chest radiography had sensitivity 94.4%, specificity 93.9%, positive likelihood ratio 15.48, negative likelihood ratio 0.06, positive predictive value 71.4%, and negative predictive value 99.0%. The initial chest radiograph has poor sensitivity, and serial radiographs are required to rule out SARS.American Journal of Emergency Medicine 08/2005; 23(4):525-30.

Article: Chest radiograph scores as potential prognostic indicators in severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS)[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We analyzed serial chest radiographic scores for lung opacification in patients with severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) for temporal changes and differences between fatal and discharged cases. We sought to establish the earliest radiographic scores sensitive as potential prognostic indicators of fatal outcomes. Chest radiographs that had been obtained from presentation until the death or discharge of 313 patients with SARS were scored on the basis of the percentage area and location of lung opacification. Profile analysis and univariable logistic regression were performed on these radiographic scores. Despite the increased mortality risks of advanced age and male sex, no significant difference was seen in the percentage area of opacification (AO%) between the sexes in either the group of patients with fatal outcomes or the group of patients who were discharged. No difference existed between age groups (< 65 years vs >/= 65 years), except for the radiograph showing the peak lung opacification in the deceased group in which the lungs of older patients had less opacification than those of younger patients. The radiographic scores obtained by day 7 were the earliest ones with good performance in prognostic prediction. The model showed good discriminatory performance, indicated by high C-indexes for receiver operator characteristic curves (0.86 for AO% and 0.90 for the number of opacified zones). The predicted proportion of patients with fatal outcomes showed high agreement with percentage of patients who died (goodness-of-fit statistic p = 0.18 for AO%, 0.73 for the number of opacified zones). By day 7, crude odds ratio of death was 1.73 per 5% of AO% (p < 0.0001) or 2.93 per lung zone opacified (p < 0.0001). Chest radiographic scores (percentage of lung or the number of zones opacified) by day 7 could be used as fatal prognostic indicators.American Journal of Roentgenology 04/2005; 184(3):734-41.

President Obama has been selling the economic stimulus bill as "critical" for the economy. It's hard for most Americans to see how many of the bill's components—$650 million for digital-TV coupons, $150 million for honeybee insurance, $75 million for the Smithsonian, and the list could go on—have any relationship to creating economic growth in the near-term...or long-term for that matter. In fact, much of the bill seems less about job creation than about rewarding liberal constituents.
The policies coming out of President Obama's Department of Interior also suggest that job creation isn't the Obama administration's priority. Last week, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar canceled oil and gas leases on 77 parcels of federal land in Utah, and the Interior Department has also indicated that it will review off-shore drilling policies, no doubt with an eye toward renewing restrictions that were eased under President Bush's tenure. Congress is also moving in the direction of re-instating restrictions of drilling: this week, the House Natural Resources Committee is expected to hold its first in a series of hearings on offshore oil drilling.
Even in these tough economic times, politically speaking, it's much easier to talk about re-restricting offshore drilling than in times past. Last July, the national average price of a gallon of gasoline reached $4.11, more than double today's average. House Republicans spent their August recess staging a "sit in" in Congress to call for a special session to address the problem of rising energy prices. As recently as September, a poll found that high gas prices were voters' top economic concern.
The banking crisis, the stock market free fall, the bursting of the housing bubble, and rising unemployment have made anxieties about gas prices seem a distant memory. Yet it's worth considering how much worse it could be if we experience another energy price spike. Families struggling to pay bills amid massive job layoffs would be hard pressed to find it in their budgets to pay double for gas. Businesses facing reduced consumer demand would also strain under the additional burden of higher energy costs, which ripple throughout their overhead into transportation costs, factory fueling costs, and heating bills. State governments likewise would see additional budget pressures from rising energy costs in public schools, hospitals, and government buildings.

With its boppy indie-pop soundtrack, 65 wines by the glass, and Sunday movie nights, this chilled-out place would be easy to like even without good food. Culinarily speaking, it's had its ups and downs over the years, but the kitchen is now putting out some of the best food we've eaten there--a feat considering that Barry Koslow, the acclaimed chef who oversaw this and neighboring restaurant Tallula, has departed. Burgers have always been a strength here, whether in regular or slider form, fries have a double-fried crispness, and wings get a zippy Sriracha-stoked glaze. The eclectic menu is leaning Southern right now, which means you'll find an excellent toasted cornbread with jalapeño jelly, an over-the-top-rich chicken-and-waffle plate, and tiny braised-pork sandwiches with slaw. When you've blown that many calories, you might as well have dessert. Here, make it a banana split atop a Belgian waffle.
Also good: Fettuccine with olives and sausage meatballs; onion rings.
Open daily for dinner, Saturday and Sunday for brunch.

Re: Star Trek: Lambda Paz
Chapter Three
In the Infirmarys main exam room, Doctor Bashir held a dermal regenerator to left side of Garaks mouth where one of the masked men punched him. Odo, Limis, and Morrison gathered around discussing the latest incident. Limis had heard of her security chiefs latest heroics.
She was even more curious as to why a group of extremists opposed to Bajors entry into the Federation was again wreaking havoc on Deep Space Nine. For years, she did not care for the Federation very much. She and fellow colonists on Volan Three were left to fend for themselves after the Federation signed a treaty with the Cardassian Union ceding that planet to the Cardassians. Then that same Federation condemned the actions of the Maquis, fearing that the anti-Cardassian terrorist group would jeopardize the peace.
Opposition to the Federation was fairly common amongst her fellow Bajorans shortly after the end of the Cardassian occupation. In fact, one such group opposed to Bajors membership in the Federation nearly succeeded in overthrowing the government and driving off the Starfleet presence on the station. The Circle, as it was called in those days, quickly lost credibility once evidence was uncovered that the Cardassians had provided its members with weapons through a third party.
The benefits of Federation membership became much clearer to the people in subsequent years. Bajor would have become a Federation member a year earlier if not for Captain Benjamin Siskos cryptic warning that Bajor would be destroyed unless it stood alone. In spite of a non-aggression pact Bajor signed with the Dominion to assure the planets safety during the Dominion War, a very large majority of the Bajoran people knew that eventual Federation membership was still preferable the oppressive rule of the Dominion and its Cardassian allies.
Im just as curious as well, Garak stated. If these xenophobic Bajorans wanted to send a message by attacking a Cardassian, surely theyd have gone after Gul Dukat when they had the chance.
Odo scoffed. When Garak was first exiled to the station, very little was known of him outside of his seeming cover profession as a tailor. His contributions to Starfleet since the beginning of the Dominion War disabused many of the stations residents of the notion that he was a spy. This was not Garaks signature insistence of being a simple tailor. For once, youre right, Garak, the constable stated.
Besides that, Limis added, the Circle has not taken these kinds of actions in four years. Their numbers have declined since their coup failed. And Federation membership will just be a formality.
Assuming the Federation wins the war, Odo replied. In the meantime, Bajors non-aggression pact with the Dominion only guarantees the planets safety
the war. Perhaps some of your countrymen are dissatisfied with the Federation, especially now that it has taken back control of DS9.
Bashir, meanwhile, had successfully removed the tattooed insignia of the Circle from Garaks forehead. There, the doctor declared. Good as new.
Garak stood up from the reclining examination chair. How do I look, Captain? he jovially asked Limis.
Like a credit to your race, Mister Garak, Limis half-heartedly responded. She nodded to Morrison for him to accompany her as sauntered out of the infirmary.
Garak instinctively felt his forehead at the former location of the tattoo. He looked at Bashir, then at Odo. Now that was uncalled for, he said.
Ronnie Kozar sat in his office preparing crew evaluation reports. The executive officer had the responsibility of preparing these reports every three months, but larger responsibilities on the front lines in the last four months got in the way of that. The layover at DS9 meant he had a lot of catching up to do. So much for shore leave.
He took a sip of green tea when the door chimed. Come in, he said, keeping his gaze on the desk monitor.
Logan stormed into the office with shAqba close behind. Ronnie, Logan huffed, this is the last straw.
You said that the last time Tarlazzi drove one of your prized antiques off a cliff, Kozar retorted.
All I did, Tarlazzi stated, walking into the office, was suggest that we could use the plasma regulators more efficiently if we routed power through the EPS conduits on Deck 17. But once again, that goes against almighty Starfleet rules.
Safety protocols call for no more than 15 giga-watts, shAqba fired back. Any more than that, and you risk an overload that would knock power on three decks.
Kozar stood up and raised both hands to ask that the three engineers calm themselves. Ive got too much on my plate to comprehend engineer techno-babble right now, he said. I heard about the incident this morning. No harm done. But this is war, and this ship will be needed back on the front lines in a week. We dont always have the luxury of following every minor safety protocol. Just keep a close eye on the power flow of that tech thing. Use your own good judgment, Mister Logan and Miss shAqba.
Understood, sir, Logan and shAqba both answered.
And try to work out squabbles within your department yourselves, Kozar added. You dont need me to keep playing referee. Youre both chief engineers. Act like it. Dismissed.
The engineers then quietly filed out of the office. Kozar sat back down looking back at the crew reports, which were only distraction from the wars on and off the ship.
For the first time since being called into Starfleet service, Captain Limis was able to get a full night of sleep. Of course, night and day were fluid concepts in interstellar space, so eight consecutive hours of uninterrupted sleep was good enough for her. She set her alarm for 0500. The computer chimed at the set time. The time is 0500 hours, the computers feminine voice stated.
Limis immediately got out of bed and headed for the shower. After five minutes, she dried herself and got into uniform. Just as she was about a order
from the replicator, the computer chimed once again.
Captain Limis. Incoming message. High priority.
Put it on the monitor, Limis replied.
The large monitor screen behind her desk lit up. The symbol of the Republic of Bajor filled the screen. Ancient Bajoran script appeared across the screen. Limis immediately recognized it as
This is a holy time
A raspy male voice was then heard in the transmission. Focus on the task at hand, it said.
Paghtemfar btanay
The Bajoran insignia was then replaced by a set of fractal images. Limis had the foresight to close her eyes and raise one hand to shield her eyes. She then unshielded her eyes when the transmission ended.
Limis suddenly felt a chill, as if she had seen a ghost from her past. Computer, place a Level 9 encryption on that last transmission, she said. She then tapped her combadge to call sickbay. Limis to sickbay.
This is Doctor Markalis, a dispassionate and almost robotic sounding voice on the other end replied.
Can you come to my quarters, Doctor? she requested.
Okay, Markalis reluctantly replied with a sigh.
Limis was busy trying to trace the transmission at her desk using tricks she had learned from her time in Starfleet Intelligence when the doctor entered. Limis smiled even knowing Markalis rarely ever smiled. Hope I didnt interrupt your beauty sleep, Limis joked.
I was already on duty, Captain, Markalis replied quietly. I would be neglecting my duties had I been sleeping.
Of course, Limis relented, feeling for a minute that she wanted to explain the joke. But then she remembered that Markalis did not always know when someone was making a joke. I know you prefer not to make house calls, the captain continued, standing up and walking towards the sofa. But I just need you to take a few scans.
Markalis set down her med-kit on the glass coffee table. She then sat down at the captains left and pulled a medical tricorder out of the kit. That is what is so different from being just a surgeon, she remarked.
Why did you decide to become a doctor? Limis curiously asked. Since taking command of the
Lambda Paz
, she found the chief medical officer to be the most curious of crewmembers. Markaliss service record indicated she gravitated towards assignments requiring minimal interactions with colleagues outside the medical department.
Combat situations are very chaotic, Markalis explained. My job is to clean up the mess in an orderly manner. I bring order to chaos. She opened her medical tricorder and began scanning, while training the hand sensor over the captains head.
How very Borg-like, Limis quipped.
Only I dont rob people of their individuality, the doctor replied.
Was that a joke?
I was merely pointing out the flaw in your metaphor. Markalis closed the tricorder and tucked it away in the med-kit. I can tell you I found nothing out of the ordinary.
Nothing to indicate hypnosis? Limis asked with a hint of disappointment.
I wouldve detected elevated neurotransmitter levels in your cerebral cortex. Id have to do a more detailed workup in sickbay.
Thats quite all right, Doctor. Id be more worried if he had left evidence behind. Hes not that careless.
Who is not that careless?
An old colleague in the Maquis.
Fifteen minutes later, Limis had changed into civilian clothes. She summoned Kozar to her quarters who arrived while Limis was packing up a duffel bag. Are you coming to your senses and resigning? he half-jokingly asked.
Very funny, Kozar, Limis replied curtly. She could not believe her first officer had the gall to make a joke like that a month after an incident that prompted Kozar to relieve her of command. Limis had used torture to obtain crucial information. She, furthermore, caused the death of a civilian. Both would ordinarily have her booted out of the service. However, the Judge Advocate Generals office elected not to take any disciplinary actions, and she was quickly reinstated.
Im letting you know I received special orders from Starfleet, the captain continued. Youre in command while Im on Bajor.
Bajor? Kozar repeated. What is the nature of this mission?
Ive said all I can, Limis answered, zipping the bag shut. She then hung the duffel bag on her right shoulder. Just hold down the fort until I get back.
Limis quickly made her way to the runabout
, docked in the main shuttlebay. To her surprise, Morrison was already occupying the primary pilot seat. Like his captain, he was also out of uniform as if volunteering to accompany her. He swiveled his seat around to face Limis, phaser in hand.
Do you know how many regs youre violating pointing a phaser at your captain? Limis sternly asked.
I have a good idea, Morrison retorted. Commander Kozar asked me to do some checking. You never received any encrypted messages, no Code 47 transmissions. In fact, you deleted a message from Bajor this morning.
Do the words captains eyes only mean anything to you? Ill add that to the list of charges.
Morrison picked up a padd balanced at the end of the console. Not if Commander Kozar gets this first, he warned.
Blackmail? Limis aghastly asked. Youre trying to blackmail me now?
Unless you allow me to accompany me on this so-called mission of yours.
If it assures you I have nothing to hide, Limis grumbled, throwing her duffel bag aside and sitting down in the secondary pilot seat, but only if you delete the contents of that padd immediately.
Morrison entered a command into the padd, deleting the information on the screen. He smiled and showed the blank screen to Limis.
The lets get underway.
After both pilots ran through all the pre-flight checks, the outer shuttle door opened. The runabout then slipped through the protective forcefield and veered downwards on a course for Bajor.
Desperate Alliances

So we think Serena might be our new daughters name. We are about 90% sure we are going with it but we are still unsure about a middle name. We have a few names in mind that we like but we are definitely open for suggestions.
We like names that are less commonly used as a middle name. We don't want to use names like Grace, Rose, Marie, Paige, Claire, Raine,
Elizabeth, Ann, May, June, Jane, Jean, etc.

Good Dog: Behavior & Training
Managing expectations about your dog's behavior makes for a good relationship
We live in a fast-paced, results-oriented society, one in which technology advances at warp speed and solutions to many of our everyday problems are often just a mouse-click away. Our increasingly hectic lifestyles mean that we waste very little time getting our needs met. This is fine if we're ordering a couch and decide that blue tapestry is more to our liking than vintage brown leather....

How to deal with dashing dogs
There he goes again, (expletive deleted)!" Sounds like the unhappy human companion of a door-darter— a dog who slips through an open door every chance he gets. This is frustrating for the human and dangerous for the dog, who romps around having a marvelous time just beyond his owner's reach, or worse, takes off at a dead run for parts unknown. Why would a well-loved dog who has ample food, water...

Do people think I am?
On a day that I had gone for a run, and not yet had a chance to shower I saw the woman who cuts my hair, looking chic and well-styled as always. We said our hellos and then I burst out with, "I swear my hair hardly ever looks like this! The cut you just gave me is great and I've been able to make it look really nice, but today I went for a run and then threw it into a ponytail and rushed here!"...

Some fetchers are made, not born
The game of fetch wins the prize as the ultimate good-for-us, good-for-them activity. It gives dogs exercise without humans having to work up a sweat and is a great way to teach dogs the crucial skill of dropping an object on cue. Since it's fun and interactive, it enhances the relationship between people and dogs. Fetch provides the basis for some of the most amusing tricks, such as teaching a...

When operant conditioning clicked (and clucked)
On a warm and slightly overcast morning in 1967, a rusty, mustard-colored station wagon slowly approached the terminal at San Francisco International Airport.

The glass door opened and as a portly man in a...

Advice for those who aspire to such work

Neither is a career with a typical path made up of a standard educational program followed by an exam or an approved internship.

Training either a pet or a working puppy should be a full time job, and with Ranger it sure feels like it!! Ranger is now four months old.

Puppies up to about a year old are very malleable, and one scary experience can...

Building better work dynamics through herding sheep
I fund my agility addiction with a job in corporate professional development. Over the years, I've seen a lot of parallels between how people and dogs learn.

Rest Stops Along Route 57 in Illinois
While driving along Route 57 in Illinois on my way to Robinson, Illinois, I made use of the rest stops. They are excellent for taking a break, resting or taking a nap, using the restroom facilities, looking at the map that is available, or picking up travel information and maps.
In addition, most of these rest stops have some kind of Emergency communications [see photo #2. A few of these rest stops have playground facilities such as the one in photograph #3.
Photograph # 4 shows an example of a lovely spot to eat a meal of your own making.
Since I left home at 5:30 a.m., I was really in need of rest. At one of the stops, I took an actual power nap for 15 minutes.

About The Only Way to Get to Robinson
Robinson, Illinois is rather off the beaten path. I drove from my home In Libertyville, Illinois [north of Chicago] to Robinson on a Friday. I left home at 5:30 a.m. and arrived in Robinson about 11:45 a.m. I stopped at two rest stops [about 40 minutes total]. The most frustrating part of the trip was getting out of the Chicago area [with all the construction].
After leaving the 294 Toll, I took Route 80 West to Route 57 South to Interstate 70. I got off of Interstate 70 at Route 49. I proceeded on 49 until I hit Route 33 East to Robinson.
I did a great deal of walking while actually in the town of Robinson; however, to get anywhere else from Robinson, you need a car/truck.

More on Health Care
David, I think we might also find that the market operates pretty efficiently in the areas not covered by insurance. Wouldn't we find, for instance, that the price for fixing eyesight via Lasik or whatever is the current method, drops over time due to technical improvements and increased competition? Ditto with the cosmetic surgery that seems to be proliferating so democratically.

about me
They say nice guys never finish first - Iet's see!
Good things come to those that wait so let's test the theory as I hang in here a little longer.
As for me I suppose I'm a bit of a mixed bag but interesting. I'm easy going, humble, have an odd sense of humour and relaxed about most things but then again determined to achieve what I want. I like the stability of a professional career but also pursue a creative outlet on a part-time basis. Overall I'm sincere, loving, positive with a great outlook on life and ready to find someone special with similar values, who is affectionate and confident in themselves. I'm a single Dad and my kids are very important to me. We have a great relationship and I relish the time I spend with them. They are also adventurous and love being outdoors, getting dirty and enjoy being out and doing things.
I enjoy the simple things in life and being a keen photographer love the environment, travelling, visiting new places, camping, country towns and big towns too. I enjoy art, architecture, music and food. In my 20-30's I traveled a bit (Europe mainly), trekked in Nepal, rode motorbikes in Bali and even visited Disneyland in Florida which surprisingly was better than I imagined. The travel bug is still with me although other priorities have stopped me for now.
Obviously everything is a balance between work, life, play and the kids but you'll find me a great guy to share your precious time with. I'm ready to enjoy the good things life has to offer. Get in touch and I'll tell you all you want to know about me. A coffee and a chat sounds great to me.

What I'm looking for
A women who is smart, confident, ambitious, sincere and willing to share her love of life with her partner. Someone who can talk and communicate her needs/desires, embrace happiness and be positive in general.
- Female, for a relationship or dating
My interests
- Music
- I enjoy a variety of music styles and really anything goes except heavy metal. I remember the my most chilling experience was listening to opera in Smolenica (Slovak Republic) contrasting with Buddy Guy - a great blues showman.
- Reading
- I've never been a great reader of fiction although that's changing as I enjoy reading to my kids the 'Percy Jackson' and Chris d'Lacey's 'Dragon' novels. In general I prefer magazines on lifestyle, travel and art.
- Movies & TV
- I don't watch a lot of TV or visit the movies but when I do I enjoy a good crime, comedy, thriller, ABC/SBS along with lifestyle and documentaries. I know it sounds boring but also current news & opinion. Add in occasional sports & talent shows - we all think we can sing but unfortunately I can't.
- Sport
- Love sports and played many - golf, squash, tennis, football, cricket, basketball. These days to stay fit I like getting out for bike rides, walks and being active in general. You could tempt me for a run but if heavy breathing is not your thing then I'm happy to pick you up at the end.
- Other Interests
- I enjoy the outdoors and just being able to appreciate the environment and the beauty that surrounds us. So I do like camping, traveling locally (OS trips have taken a back seat since the kids) but my major interest and passion is photography. Can't say no to good food, wine or a market.

For books originally released in the early 80s for a cover price of $2-4, I don't think it's unfair to charge the "current" price for a mass-market book, even if it's twice or more the original price, for an ebook release.
But I certainly agree that it's absolutely ridiculous if it's twice (or even more than once) the cost of a new release.
Yup, that's basically what I meant, just kinda phrased it wrong.

Scholarship Information
We are pleased to be able to provide scholarship funds to those who might not otherwise be able to come to camp. We offer both work scholarships and what we call "named" scholarships. These named scholarships have been established to honor people who have made a significant contribution to country dance, music and song and to help support the education of future musicians and leaders by making camp accessible to people who might not otherwise afford to come. Please review the application procedures outlined below.
Donation in support of Scholarships are needed and gratefully accepted. If you are able to help another person benefit from our programs, you can do so by making a contribution along with your registration or at our online store. In addition, at each week of our summer camps, we hold auctions which raise money for future scholarships.
We also offer a one-to-one match of some scholarships sponsored by local groups. Information on these is sent to the CDSS Group Affiliates in January.
Work Scholarships
These scholarships reduce the camper fee by $175. Work Scholarships entail approximately 90 minutes of work every day: at Pinewoods, as dishwasher helper; at Timber Ridge and Ogontz, the work includes assisting the Camp Director in various tasks. All campers age 14 and up are eligible for work scholarships.
If you are applying only for a work scholarship, fill out only questions #1-3 on the Scholarship Application Form (pdf). There are additional jobs that give larger scholarships; most of these are assigned by February, but you may inquire for this year and for future years by checking the appropriate line on the form.
Named Scholarships
Named Scholarships are available as well. Some are simply need based and some are for potential or practicing teachers, leaders, singers and musicians of English and American country dance and song. This aid is usually in addition to a work scholarship. If you are interested in applying for a named scholarship, answer all the questions on the Scholarship Application Form (available soon).

We will publish a list of named scholarship recipients. By submitting an application you have given your consent to CDSS to publish your name, should you receive a scholarship.
Application Procedure
Please note that camp applications must include a deposit to hold a space while scholarship applications are being considered. A full refund will be given if you must cancel due to insufficient scholarship aid.
To apply for a scholarship, fill out the Scholarship Application Form (pdf) and return it to CDSS with your camp registration and deposit. Applications received by March 23, the registration processing and lottery date, will be processed first, and those applicants will be notified of their registration and scholarship status in early April. All funds may be assigned at that time, but later applications for scholarships will be considered if funds are still available.

text: I did a quick check on the auction site and saw several Vivitar 283 conversions. There was a professionally done conversion that looked as well-made as a Quantum, and was priced similarly. Then there were a pair of rather amateur-looking conversions selling for about $150 each. They looked a little klugey, and I'd be worried about their durability and safety long-term. But they exist as an option. A final thought - just get a Gary Fong light modifier with a chromed interior. Or take a quart-size plastic takeaway soup container, spray-paint the inside silver, and cut a hole in the bottom for the flash to go through.
